Missing
Support for Lacina search spans Web By Sarah Haas Daily Staff Writer In the case of Jon Lacina, the online presence dedicated to finding the missing ISU student has been strong since the day he was reported missing. Lacina was last seen Jan. 22 and was reported missing Jan. 30. By the next evening, the Facebook group “Help find Jon Lacina!” had more than 4,000 members, and in a matter of two days, that number jumped to around 17,000 members. Jerry Stewart, director of public safety, said the group’s wall is being monitored for new or useful
information. Posts on the group’s wall include expressions of thoughts and prayers for Lacina and his family and suggestions for finding him. Yet a recent string of posts address a theory involving Lacina two other missing young adult males. “We would caution people against assuming they’re connected,” Stewart said. “That said, we’re not discounting any possibility.” Sylvester McCurry, 18, of Duluth, Minn., was last seen at 10:45 p.m. Jan. 17 at the Stargate Night
Club in Superior, Wis. The 5-foot-11, 150-pound, light-skinned black male with short brown hair and brown eyes was wearing blue jeans and white Nike shoes on the night of his disappearance, according to the Duluth Police Department. Two days later, on Jan. 19, Eric Peterson, 24, of Lakeville, Minn., was last seen Jan. 19. Peterson’s car was found abandoned Jan. 21. The 6-foot-3 white male with brown hair and brown eyes left all his valuables in the car, which was parked near the Minnesota River. Stewart said investigators are looking into the possible connection between the missing men. “The [Department of Criminal Investigation]
has been asked to research other recent missing person reports. Detectives from the Ames Police Department will be following up with agencies in the Midwest that have [similar cases],” Stewart said. Stewart reemphasized that investigators have yet to find evidence of foul play, but he said law enforcement officials are not “discounting any possibility and will continue to follow up on any information received.” “However, it’s important for people to know that in any given week or month, there are a lot of people who go missing in this country,” Stewart said.
Football
Rhoads rallies 28 recruits By Jake Lovett Daily Staff Writer Iowa State signed 28 players to national letters of intent for the 2010 football season, coach Paul Rhoads announced Wednesday. The team received commitments from seven three-star recruits and eight junior college transfers, according to ESPN.com’s Scouts, Inc. Rivals.com showed Iowa State’s as the No. 59 recruiting class for 2010 — the best for Iowa State since 2005’s No. 58 class. “We signed 28 kids. And our impression is that we signed 28 five-star kids, because we wanted them,” Rhoads said. “We evaluated them, we recruited them to be Iowa State Cyclones, and we had 28 kids that decided to become Iowa State Cyclones. In my mind we put together one heck of a class.” Rhoads told the crowd of media, donors and members of the ISU athletic department that of the 32 players that came on official campus visits, 28 students signed — including 14 of the 15 students that came for visits on gamedays during the fall. “I’ve been doing this for 21 years,” Rhoads said. “I’ve never been around a class with that highly successful percentage rate.” Though this was Rhoads’ first time through a recruiting cycle as the coach at Iowa State, he has been a high-level recruiter at his stops in Pittsburgh and Auburn before arriving in Ames in December 2008. For this class, the coach wanted to address the overall athleticism, speed and depth of the team, starting with a defense that returns just five starters. Iowa State has begun to fill the vacated spots in the lineup by bringing in 12 players to the defense, including five defensive backs, four linebackers and three defensive linemen. “I think we have athleticism and speed at every position group,” Rhoads said. “We needed it in every

Fate of tuition to be decided
Student leaders to visit Capitol
™
By Jessica Opoien Daily Staff Writer Iowa’s three regent universities will learn the fate of tuition for the 2010–2011 academic year at today’s Board of Regents meeting — a fate that could change based on the 2010 legislative session. The regents will vote Thursday on a proposed 6 percent tuition increase for resident undergraduate and graduate students to be implemented in the upcoming academic year. The vote affords the board the opportunity to approve the proposed increase, or to introduce an alternative number. Today’s decision can be revisited in the future based

Ambassadors speak about college costs By Chelsea Davis Daily Staff Writer A group of 25 to 30 ISU Ambassadors will travel to Des Moines today for “Student Day at the Capitol” to lobby to promote higher education funding at the Capitol. “We’re a lobbying group that visits the Capitol every year during the second semester to talk about what the regents have proposed regarding funding for state institutions,” said Mallori Phillips, senior in biology. At noon Thursday the group will give speeches and provide a lunch for the legislators. Its goal is to keep the legislators aware of the cost of college for each student. “State appropriations
in the 1980s were nearly 80 percent of general education funding,” Phillips said. “Today they’re only 41 percent.” ISU Ambassadors invited many other groups from Iowa State to join them at the capitol, including Dance Marathon and Engineering Week. Phillips said if these groups are able to make it they will set up booths to talk about their respective groups. “The state has no funding,” Phillips said. “Our biggest challenge will be persuading legislators to understand we are a priority and to not forget about us when it comes time for appropriations.” The ambassadors will be making repeat trips to the Capitol all throughout the coming semester, with the continuing goal in mind of promoting higher education.
GSB to lobby against State Study Bill 3030 By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer Representatives from the Government of the Student Body will travel to the Capitol Thursday to make students’ voices heard at the annual Day on the Hill event. The schedule is never set until the students arrive. Jon Turk, GSB president, said they arrived and the legislatures went into caucus last year. Turk said this year the plan is for students to speak with their hometown representatives after arrival, followed by a luncheon and a joint statement from Turk and student body presidents from the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa. GSB members will be lobbying against State Study Bill 3030. The bill reads, “The state Board of Regents shall not be re-
quired to obtain any service for the state Board of Regents or any institution under the control of the state board of regents that is provided by the department pursuant to this chapter without the consent of the state board of regents.” This bill would create a centralized office for information technology for the Board of Regent schools, which is being considered as a cost-saving effort, Turk said. “We have three schools each with 15,000–20,000 students who pay for IT services,” Turk said. “This would prevent schools from choosing their own e-mail carriers.” Every time a student might have difficulties logging on to his or her school Web accounts, they would have to make a phone call to the central office in Des Moines, Turk said. “It’s a rare opportunity when we match up when we are there and when a specific piece of legis-

Court Ruling
By Gregory Katz Associated Press Writer LONDON — A man’s home is his castle — but not if British authorities say it has to be destroyed. That’s the situation faced by Robert Fidler, a farmer who lost a High Court bid Wednesday to protect the once-secret castle he built 40 miles south of London and kept hidden from planning authorities. The adverse decision means Fidler’s roof must come down. He has one year to comply unless an appeal is successful. To keep prying eyes from noticing his unauthorized abode, Fidler placed bales of hay and tarpaulin around his dream home in Salfords, Surrey, authorities said. The court ruled he could not benefit from his deception. Mike Miller, a chief planner with the Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, said the council was delighted with the decision, which it viewed as a vindication of the decision to challenge Fidler in court. “This was a blatant attempt at deception to circumvent the planning process,” he said, adding that Fidler now has one year to destroy the castle, remove the ruins and return the property to its original state. The unusual castle, com-

College of Business
Differential tuition increases costs By Whitney Sager Daily Staff Writer With students having to dig deeper into their pockets to find money to pay for their education these days, there may be light at the end of the college tuition tunnel: improved student-to-professor ratios and increased availability of financial assistance. The College of Business began the three-year process of phasing in differential tuition in the summer of 2009. Differential tuition is added to the tuition charged to all ISU students. Every business student who has 60 or more credits and is in the professional business program has to pay this fee. At the end of the three-year phase in, students in the College of Business who meet the qualifications will pay an additional $750 each semester. “The main reason is we thought it would be more fair to the students to gradually increase their tuition rather than doing it all at once,” said Michael Crum, associate dean of logistics operations and management information systems. “We wanted to give students and their families more time to plan for the full implementation.” Right now, qualifying business students are only paying an additional $250 a semester. The purpose of the additional tuition fee is to help decrease business class sizes.
What differential tuition has been used for, thus far: ■■ Four business classes have more sections available: accounting 285, finance 301, management 370 and marketing 340 ■■ One new consultant in the Communications Center According to the College of Business’ Web site, the size of the average business class is larger than the average class size in any of the other colleges at Iowa State. “This constrains our ability to help students master the subject matter and develop necessary communication and analytical skills to maximize their contributions to society and their professions,” Crum said. In order to decrease business class sizes, more sections will need to be made available and more faculty members will need to be hired to teach the additional sections. “We have added 32 new sections of four different business core courses, increasing the number of sections of these courses from 18 to 50 during this academic year,” Crum said. The revenue generated from differential tuition will also be used to offer financial assistance to business students who are paying the addi-
Senate postpones theater vote The Government of the Student Body will continue to discuss the Varsity Theater bill, but passed an amendment changing $75,000, which is earmarked for the continued operation of the Cyclone Cinema for fiscal year 2011, to $60,000 because estimations have changed. Greta Johnson, the student representative on the Iowa Board of Regents, spoke at Wednesday’s GSB meeting. “We will be voting on the proposed 6 percent tuition increase for in-state students, and four percent increase for out-of-state students,” Johnson said. Johnson told the Senate of rumors circulating that are about students possibly getting back their $100 surcharge, after the state granted an unexpected $31 million back to
tional tuition costs. The Board of Regents requires that at least 15 percent of tuition revenue must be put toward financial aid. Crum said the 15 percent generated from differential tuition will only be going to the students who are paying those additional fees. Despite the smaller class sizes and a chance for financial assistance, some students do not agree with the college’s decision to implement differential tuition. “There are other ways to save money and keep it as cheap as possible for students to go to school,” said Michael Carlson, senior in management in-

education funds, and asked for its opinion on the subject. Senator Anthony Maly said “I’m kind of torn, we’ve already been charged for it and our financial aid has already went through ... if we get it back now it would be like a fun tax return.” Senator Michael Heilman said giving back the surcharge could be a mistake. “I don’t think we should credit back the surcharge, there could be substantial debt issues next year, or other areas of campus that could use the money,” Heilman said. Representatives from the Student Activities Center came to the meeting to discuss modernizing the events authorization account. The request was for $35,000 to build a new program which would switch the events authorization process from a paper process to online, and was passed by the Senate.
Some benefits of an online program would include electronic approvals from advisors and officers, students would have the ability to track events throughout the authorization process and would allow advertising on the public Web site for events. The cost comes from 575 hours of development at $60 an hour. Connect, an on-campus Christian organization, received its requested $2,115 from the GSB to hold its annual, free to the community, Gospel Extravaganza in Stephens Auditorium. The group has been hosting the event for four years, and had an attendance between 250 and 400 people last year, said Maria Joseph, president of Connect. Joseph said the group is taking advantage of advertising possibilities this year, and is expecting a large turnout.

The bill could come up again in the future, but the GSB has agreed that this year was not the time to ask the state to give up $3 million of tax funds, Turk said. If enough students take advantage of the tax rebates that are offered when filing individual taxes the $3 million total will drop, making the bill more likely
formation systems. Carlson said he knows a lot of buildings on campus keep their lights on at night. He said a lot of money could be saved by turning those lights off at night, and with the money that is saved, the university would not have to impose tuition surcharges on students. Business students who do not currently meet the criteria to justify having to pay differential tuition fees are not looking forward to the extended costs. “I wouldn’t want to pay that much extra,” said Ashley Burgin, junior in pre-business. “I don’t have a job and my parents don’t help me much financially, so I have to take out loans.” Iowa State is not the only school to charge differential tuition to its business students. Both the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa have also decided to charge additional tuition. “The college administration determined how much additional revenue would be needed to attain our goals on average class size and studentfaculty ratio,” Crum said. “We also communicated with the business colleges at both the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa since we all have the same challenges.” Crum said all three regent schools agreed to charge business students $750 each semester in addition to regular tuition costs.
to be submitted in the future, Turk said. Next year’s tuition will be voted on by the Board of Regents on Thursday, but the GSB is still planning on discussing the effects of tuition costs on students. The state cut 25 percent of ISU’s budget, bringing it down to the same budget it had in 1997, whereas the state is still running at the same level as 2004, Turk said. “We understand this is an economic downturn, but we need to remind the state of Iowa of its commitment to education,” Turk said. “They need to

Leaders:
Scott’s priority ignores both progress, values One of Michigan Representative Paul Scott’s recent campaign promises for Michigan Secretary of State is not like the others. Scott’s announcement letter included four priorities: Require a valid social security number before issuing a driver’s license. Encrypt Radio Frequency Identification chips used in driver’s licenses. Repeal driver responsibility fees. Ensure transgender individuals will not be allowed to change the gender on their license. The first three policies represent a step down the road to progress: They will certainly generate debate but are clearly rooted in some merit. The last policy, however, is only superficial — it masquerades as progress while advancing nothing. Whether you support the plight of transgender individuals or not, it’s clear that Scott’s policy accomplishes little. He claims “It’s a social values issue. If you are born a male, you should be known as a male. Same as with a female, she should be known as a female.” This is faux progress. Values are great. Values are important parts of our humanity and holding them in high regard should be celebrated. Values will certainly remain a focal point in the debate over same-sex marriage. However, we’re discussing a driver’s license. A driver’s license is the primary form of identification in our society. It serves as a verification of residence, appearance and age. In order to verify one’s appearance, gender or the perception thereof, is paramount to a police officer or government employee’s ability to do his or her job. Can you imagine conducting an investigation while searching for a suspect whose physical features contradict the government record? In order for a photo ID to accomplish it’s intended purpose it must serve as a stand-alone document. A driver’s license has no footnotes. Scott claims it will protect citizens from cross-dressers sneaking into public bathrooms, but when was the last time anyone was carded at the bathroom door? Scott’s platform and announcement letter encompassed plenty of controversy without this needless addition. The secretary of state should aim to protect the citizenry, something this policy will not do. It may even have the opposite effect: adding confusion to bogged-down institutions, like hospitals and police departments, further inhibiting their effectiveness. Regardless of political stance, priorities rooted in personal beliefs are honorable. But Scott is no such hero. Making this issue a priority doesn’t serve the people of Michigan — a state already facing extreme crises — but simply acts as vote-garnering. Remember now, these issues were Scott’s top four priorities. Yet 25 percent of them are worthless. If Scott can’t even pick the four best policies out of a long list of many [the letter can be found online, and is chock full of Scott’s political views] then how well can he be expected to lead? If Scott wants to stand for values there are countless valid, equally controversial, ways to do so. Prioritizing policies related to abortion, an issue with which he has extensive experience in the legislature, would at minimum, advance the road toward compromise and progress in Michigan. Exposing something as concrete and fundamental as a photo ID to interpretation and misuse will not.

Painting of Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben by Ralph Earl. Steuben was reportedly homosexual. What would have happened in the war for America’s independence if “Don’t ask, don’t tell” had been in place then. Courtesy photo: Wikimedia Commons
Omitted from history Dismissal of gays could have prevented America’s freedom
B
aron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, a renowned tactical military specialist from Prussia, arrived Sept. 26, 1777, on the shores of Portsmouth, N.H. His purpose was to join the Continental Army in its Revolutionary War of independence against the British. By this time, the Continental Congress fled Philadelphia in advance of British troops and settled in York, Pa. Gen. George Washington was commanding a ragtag band of volunteers, and Steuben donated his services, without salary, to develop a military training program. What Steuben accomplished was nothing short of phenomenal, for he turned a scrubby assemblage of farmers and merchants into a unified, efficient and powerful force. He instituted a method of “progressive training,” a sort of school for the soldiers. He raised the standards for maintenance of uniforms and military hygiene. He taught the effective use of the bayonet, which increased soldiers’ ability to attack and to defend themselves even when their rifles [muskets] were unloaded. His technique is credited for the Continental Army’s victory in a number of decisive battles, including the Battle of Stony Point.
Dr. Warren J. Blumenfeld is a
professor of Curriculum and Instruction.
He also developed an efficient system of camp sanitation by developing standards and the more effective arrangement of soldier’s tents and other living structures, latrines and mess halls. These procedures remained in effect in the U.S. military for more than a century and a half. Washington gave Steuben command of one of the army’s divisions for the final battle at Yorktown. Following victory, Steuben assisted Washington in demobilizing the army in 1783 and he helped to craft a defense policy for the infant nation. Steuben was awarded a military discharge with full honors March 24, 1783. Through an act of the Pennsylvania Legislature in March 1784, Steuben became a citizen of the United States and later settled on Manhattan Island. Though Steuben contributed in profound ways to the Continental Army’s victory over the British, which resulted in what we know today at the United States, and while he deserves a prominent place in the pantheon of our country’s military leaders, how many of us have ever heard of him? Where is he mentioned in our
school textbooks, or in the discussions focusing on the founding of the United States? Why has this hero who contributed so greatly been virtually forgotten, while lesser figures are often referenced? I would put forth that the primary reason for this erasure is the documented historical evidence that Steuben was, in modern terminology, “gay.” Throughout history, we have witnessed societal attempts to falsify historical accounts of our stories, through censorship, deletion, half truths and the altering of pronouns signifying gender, thus making accurate reconstruction extremely difficult. As our country currently debates whether to lift the military ban on gay and lesbian people serving openly in the military — the so-called “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy dating back to 1993 in which approximately 13,000 qualified military personnel have been drummed out of the branches on the charge of being lesbian or gay — we need to remember people like Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Though Washington did, on rare occasions, drum out soldiers on the charge of homosexuality, we need and ask ourselves the question: If the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy had been instituted and enforced during the Revolutionary War period, and Steuben had been tossed out of the military due to it, would we, today, be an independent nation or a perennial colony of Britain?
Letter:
Stop apologizing for mistakes Daily staff, editors should fix errors or step down
Jared Knight is a sophomore in political science and speech communication at Iowa State University.
As an informed student, I read the Daily, daily. After perusing the front page for the “top stories,” I flip to the editorials and opinion section to get acquainted with the thoughts and opinions of other students. After reading through Wednesday’s editorial, “GSB takes
next step to pass bill for theater,” I must say that I am once again disappointed with the editorial section and, by extension, the editors. In case you didn’t read it, it went over the details of the theater and urged the GSB to postpone voting for another
week, apologizing for not keeping the students informed about the matter. As editors of the paper, their job is to put content into the paper to keep students informed, and the common trend I’ve seen in the Daily’s editorials is that of apology. It seems, though, that they aren’t listening to their own words [or they are forgiving themselves far too quickly] because in the same issue the editor apologizes for “not once in the past four
months” placing the Varsity Theater issue prominently on the front page, but instead placing it in a small side-story below the fold. The editors of the Daily should be leaders on campus. It is their responsibility, after all, of keeping the student body informed. Editors: Stop apologizing for your mistakes. Either fix them or step down from your position and let someone else do the job the right way.

Iowa State continues to climb rankings
Lady Raiders ransacked
By Kelsey Jacobs Daily Correspondant Moving on up is the name of the game for the ISU gymnastics team. After splitting against BYU and Michigan last week, the Cyclones Maccani (2–3) moved up in the NCAA rankings from No. 14 to No. 13. Although the team performed well as a whole Friday, some of the gymnasts were a bit off. Senior Ceilia MacBrowning cani struggled in two of her three events, with both her 9.375 on uneven bars and her 9.625 on balance beam being dropped from the total team score. “After the meet I was kind of upset,” Maccani said. “I got back into the gym and I’m determined not to let that happen again. I’m just going to go out and show what I do every day in practice.” The coaching staff put Maccani in more high-pressure situations during practice this week to try and prepare her for the meet Friday. She said this involves mixing up her spot in the line up and having silence during her performance. “She’s still making a couple of mistakes,” said coach Jay Ronayne. “Her confidence isn’t as high as it should be. We’re still working on that, so it might take a couple weeks for it to come back, or it could happen this week.” Sophomore Michelle Browning was on her game last week with a career-high 39.200 in the all-around. For her performance, Browning won the

Hot to cold conditions throw team off-balance

Starting strong in the beginning of the game had been a struggle in the past, but she was three of three from beyond the arc and it was clear Kelsey Bolte wanted the ball. The junior guard’s strong first-half performance meant the second half would be simply an addition. In Iowa State’s (17-4, 5-2 Big 12) 63-48 win over Texas Tech on Wednesday night, Bolte finished with 19 points to lead the Cyclone brigade over the Red Raiders (13-8, 1-6 Big 12). “Kelsey is really starting to play the way we need her to play,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly. “The challenge for her is she’s always been kind of a slow starter but I thought she came out of the gates tonight really hard, really well, and when she wants the ball and can do some things she’s hard to guard.” Bolte’s hunger for the ball was evident as she shrieked ‘Aus’ to her fellow teammate Alison Lacey, to pass her the ball as Lacey was triple teamed. Lacey dished the ball out to Bolte after the scream at 14:56 in the second half and the 6-foot-1 inch guard nailed the bucket. “[Shots] just been falling in and [Lacey] has been doing a good job of getting me open and running plays and they’re setting really good screens for me right now so I’m just thankful for that,” Bolte said. Bolte finished five of seven from the 3-point line, and went two for two from the free throw line. Bolte also finished five for seven from the beyond the arc in Iowa State’s upset victory in Austin over the Longhorns, where Bolte began to shine brightly again after a slight midseason shooting slump. “We ran a lot of plays in the first half to get me open on the outside and they were successful so that was good,” Bolte said. Another impact on the game as usual was Lacey, however for some who may not have seen the stat sheet, it would seem the senior point guard had an “off night.” Aside from the final minute of the first half, Lacey went scoreless from the field. However, just when it seemed the senior leader was going to have an off night, she scored six straight points. “We had a couple minutes left, we had to try and get quick shots off, get the ball back, and the drive was open

and layups were falling in, but Kelsey started us off great,” Lacey said. The Australian import finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds to record her sixth double-double of the season — seven with her tripledouble performance over Iowa early in the year. Lacey committed five turnovers for the night, but being triple and quadruple teamed throughout the game can account for that. Even with the Texas Tech pressure on Iowa State’s go-to girl, Lacey posted her typical double-digit game in
scoring, and dished in seven assists. “We tried to make sure that everything she got she earned,” said Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry. “She’s so smart and intelligent. She has great size for a perimeter player.” Following the game Fennelly noted on the importance of not only Bolte and Lacey performing well, but at least one player contributing on the offensive end. Against Texas Tech, it was freshman post Chelsea Poppens.

Murdoch keeps focus on defense against Ohio
By Dan Tracy Daily Staff Writer It’s no coincidence that the ISU womens’ tennis team is more comfortable playing indoors with the climate affecting the schools of the Big Wischer 12 North. On their midwinter trip to Jacksonville, Fla., last weekend, the Cyclones trounced the UTEP Miners 6-1 in 70 degree weather on Friday. Then fell to North Florida 7-0 under chilly conditions Sunday. After making the adjustment to playing outdoors last weekend, the team is switching gears this week and focusing back on indoor competition. “[This week has] really been about trying to get back to playing indoors,” coach Armando Espinosa said. “I think they are getting their rhythm back and whatever the line-up is we need to be able to go out there and compete.” The Cyclones will go from their longest road trip to their shortest this weekend when they head to Des Moines for match-ups with Drake on Friday and the University of Illinois-Chicago on Saturday. Junior Liza Wischer racked up the most victories last weekend with a No. 6 singles win over UTEP and two doubles wins with senior Alyssa Palen. “[The team has] been practicing really well lately so I think we’ll be ready for any competition,” Wischer said. The warm temperatures were familiar for sophomore Maria Fernanda Macedo, a Mexico City, Mexico, native, last Friday, but on Sunday, the team fell victim to the windy and rainy conditions.

WACO, Texas — LaceDarius Dunn scored 21 points, including four 3-pointers, s Udoh had his 11th doubledouble of the season and No. 20 Baylor backed up its big win on the road with an 84-63 victory over Iowa State on Wednesday night. Udoh had 19 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots while Tweety Carter scored 14 points for the Bears (17-4, 4-3 Big 12), who were coming off an overtime victory Saturday at then-No. 6 Texas. They had lost to Kansas State before that in their last home game to end a schoolrecord 11-game winning streak at the Ferrell Center. Anthony Jones hit a 3-pointer to start a 7-0 run for Baylor and stretch its lead to 10 after Iowa State (13-9, 2-5) got a free throw in the opening seconds after halftime.

Iowa State will face its toughest opponent in this weekend before the Central States Collegiate Hockey League tournament. The Cyclones travel to play No. 3 Ohio University Bobcats. Iowa State just sweeped last place Eastern Michigan and plans to carry that momentum over to this weekend if it wants to pull an upset. “The last two weekends, there have been a couple let downs here and there, but overall, I feel we’re playing some of our best hockey of the year,” said senior forward Brian Spring. The last two weeks, Iowa State’s defense has been a strong point for the team. At Illinois, the Cyclones held the Illini to 10 or less shots in four of six periods, and last week at home, the Cyclones held Eastern Michigan to less than 10 shots in all but one period. The Iowa State goaltenders caught fire as well. Junior Erik Hudson has five shut outs this season while freshman Paul Karus earned his first last weekend. Both have a season save percentage close to 90 percent. With the season coming close to ending, the team has huge trust in both goalies. “It’s nice to know that no matter who is between the pipes, they’re going to do a solid job,” said senior defenseman Matt Verdoni. Iowa State has a record of 2-4 against opponents ranked higher than them. In each loss the Cyclones had a very good chance of winning, but couldn’t quite get there. For Ohio, coach Al Murdoch is focusing on playing good defense and taking advantage of opportunities. “That’ll be the difference,” Murdoch said. “The team that take advantages of opportunities will win.” Murdoch also stressed the importance of not giving Ohio any opportunities by committing penal-

position group, and I think we addressed it fully with the 28.” Much of the buzz surrounding the large class came from the offensive side of the ball and the playmakers Rhoads sought to bring in while on the recruiting trail. While the six offensive line made the biggest splash in terms of depth, it’s the potential for immediate impact that the new skill position players provide that has Rhoads excited. “They might not match everybody’s expectations, height, weight, speed and so forth, but you put the tape on and these guys can play,” he said. At running back, Shontrelle Johnson — ranked as a threestar recruit by Scouts, Inc. — is a player that Rhoads called “special,” and could figure into a backfield that featured a 1,000yard rusher in junior Alexander Robinson, now in need of a fulltime backup after the departure of Jeremiah Schwartz. “He has speed, he has strength,” Rhoads said about Johnson, the DeLand, Fla., native. “If we put on all 28 [highlight films], and put his highlight on last, he would, I promise you, get the most ooh’s and ahh’s over what he does.” To supplement a passing game that struggled in 2009, Iowa State brought in

three wide receivers and two tight ends, including three junior college transfers: receivers Albert Gary and Chris Young and tight end Ricky Howard. Rhoads said the need for explosive skill-position players on the offense comes from a lack of big plays from the offense in 2009. “We’ve got guys with great hands, guys that have been productive for us, but we need to turn more 8-yard catches into 80-yard plays,” Rhoads said. While most players’ routes to Iowa State were fairly normal, Gary’s is “a unique situation” and has his new coach excited. Gary, originally a member of the recruiting class of 2008, signed with Arkansas directly out of high school but when he reported to fall camp, he failed to meet academic requirements for enrollment. The then-run-

There had been six ties and six lead changes in the first half, but none after that. Craig Brackins had 19 points and Marquis Gilstrap added 15 for the Cyclones, who have lost four of the last five games. Dunn made a 3-pointer on the first shot of the game, and his last came with 6:15 remaining with an extremely frustrated Iowa State coach Greg McDermott fuming on the sideline. After Carter missed a 3, Brackins was ahead of everybody when he got a long pass and went up for a slam. He missed when A.J. Walton caught up and swatted at the ball. McDermott was livid that a foul wasn’t called, and play continued with Dunn hitting from long range to make it 65-49. McDermott went under the basket to have words with the official during an ensuing timeout. When there was another timeout only seconds later, he conversed with another official though he avoided getting a technical foul.
ning back decided to take a year off from football before returning to Butler County Community College and redshirting for the 2009 season, making him a freshman for Iowa State in 2010. “He’s two years removed from high school, which gives him great maturity and physical development, but we gain four years of eligibility out of him,” Rhoads said. “We think we’ve got a steal ... Getting him right at the end, we believe, is a coup.” With Gary are six more junior college transfers that Rhoads anticipates can make an immediate impact on the Cyclones’ two-deep depth chart heading into the summer and fall. Three players — Howard, offensive lineman Jon Caspers and defensive back Anthony Young — have already enrolled for classes at Iowa State, leaving them eligible to participate
Things really turned to fun for Baylor after that, with slam dunks from three different players on consecutive possessions. Dunn had the first slam on an ally-oop pass from Udoh, who got the next slam before Quincy Acy, who finished with 10 points, threw one down. Walton was open at the basket the next time down, but settled for a layup instead. The final margin was the largest of the game and Baylor had only eight turnovers. Udoh should have had another assist, but instead was given a missed shot when his pass rolled off the rim — and was grabbed by Acy for a slam. That ended a wild sequence when Carter missed a 3-pointer and the ball bounced to the other end of the court. Dunn outran several Cyclones and saved it from going out of bounds to Walton. Iowa State has lost 17 consecutive games against ranked teams, including five this season. It is only the fourth time in school history the Bears have won at least 17 games in their first 21. The others were all NCAA tournament teams — 1946, 1948 and 2008.

“The development that takes place from January to August, which includes the spring ball, teaching the fundamentals and technique, is vital to where we’re going,” Rhoads said. “We brought them all down because we think they can find a place in our two deep and contribute. We’ll just see if they can rise to that level.” Rhoads’s class strayed far away from Iowa’s borders to find the next generation of ISU football, grabbing five players from California, seven from Texas and eight from Florida, speaking to the improved speed and athleticism of the team, but also to the success the Cyclones had during 2009 increasing the recruiting base available to the coaching staff. “Certainly the success we’ve had on the field with the seven wins, the 2009 football team never having a losing record and finishing up with an Insight Bowl championship, certainly helped enhance the finished product,” Rhoads said. – Information from ESPN. com’s Scouts, Inc. and rivals. com was used in this report.
in spring practice. Meanwhile, the other four will enroll for the summer and begin workouts for the 2010 season. In 2009, safety David Sims came in as a junior college transfer from Butte Community College and made an immediate impact on the ISU defense. The ISU coaching staff hopes that the players they brought in from junior colleges can have a similar impact as Sims in continuing the development of the program.
from PAGE 6 The 6-foot-2 freshman finished four of six from the field, compiling 11 points. Struggling in the past to finish around the basket, Poppens was scored in the post, even after being fouled and banged up by Texas Tech defenders. “It’s nice to see one of our post players tonight [finish around the basket],” Fennelly said. “Tonight Poppens definitely impacted how the game was played.” After the game Fennelly noted on the importance of one post player finishing in the post, which was Poppens against the Red Raiders, and the other two players (Bolte and Lacey) performing the way they are expected. Curry also noticed the chemistry between the two leaders on the court. “I think [Bolte] and Alison they play together so incredibly hard, they’re so incredibly smart and it’s a great lesson for our young kids,” Curry said.

ties. Last Saturday, the Cyclones committed seven penalties, some of which were penalties just playing tight defense. Murdoch said he has no problem with the penalties coming from good defense, but killing them off is important. Last season, Iowa State swept Ohio in Ames, but failed to get past them in the championship game of the C.S.C.H.L. Tournament. The Cyclones led 3-1 at the beginning of the third period, but three Bobcat goals in the third dropped the Cyclones. “We owe them,” said defenseman Matt Verdoni said. “We blew a lead against them last year for the Championship.

Not necessarily in all-around, but on floor [exercise] — one of my stronger events.” Ronayne said he has been expecting big things from Browning since he first met her. He said every week she gets a little bit better and he expects her to be All-American. Preparing for their meet Friday, the Cyclones are still finetuning their routines. Ronayne said it wasn’t the greatest week of practice but the team is getting better and better. “We know this week we’re going to be pretty good when we go to Pittsburgh,” said Ronayne. “But how good are we going to be? We want to be great.” The Cyclones will return to action 8 p.m. Friday in Pittsburgh when they face Pittsburgh (0–4), SUNY-Brockport (5–1) and Rutgers (2–5).

10. Whine about the Vikings. 9. Play rugby. 8. Beg for money on Welch Avenue to pay for any tuition increases. 7. Catch up on the last season of “Lost”. 6. Look like a fool with your pants on the ground. 5. Plan what Winter Olympic Games you’ll
watch. 4. Start tanning for Jersey Shore 2. 3. Remember that without Keith Moon and John Entwistle, The Who just isn’t the same. 2. Move to Germany and go pro. 1. Rob Brett Favre’s house — oh wait, he’ll be home. AMUSE

The traveling version of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical makes its way to Stephens Auditorium at 8 p.m. Friday. Neeley will be performing the title role that brought him fame in the 1970s.

poetry inspires Maintenance Shop to host poetry slam, performer tackles touchy topics By Julia Ferrell Daily Staff Writer Joaquin Zihuatanejo never expected to be a poet. But through family inspiration and public performance, he became one of the nationally recognized motivational speakers. The Maintenance Shop will host a poetry slam, “I Slam; Therefore, I Am: A night of Chican@ Poetry” by Joaquin Zihuatanejo on Thursday night. A former teacher from north Texas, Zihuatanejo has performed on “Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry” in 2006, is a winner of the 2008 World Poetry Slam Championship and the 2009 European World Cup of Poetry Slam. He represented the United States at the Indian Ocean Poetry Slam Festival in South Africa and opened for poet Maya Angelou. He also has two self-published collections, “Barrio Songs” and “I of the Storm,” as well as a spoken-word CD. Though the artist has been writing poetry since elementary school, Zihuatanejo just recently began performing. While grading research papers one night, Zihuatanejo stumbled across “Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry,” a show on HBO, when a Dallas, Texas, native, Rock Baby, was performing. Zihuatanejo was instantly intrigued. “He was hilarious; it was just what I needed after a night of grading papers,” Zihuatanejo said. “Who knew poets could be stars?” After getting in touch with Baby, Zihuatanejo followed the poet to the Dallas Poetry Slam, entering himself into what he thought to be an open mic. “I didn’t realize it was a competition and we would be judged ... it was intimidating
and I was terrified,” Zihuatanejo said. “The room was very dynamic, between those that were African American and those that were Caucasian and my poem that I was going to perform was in Joaquin Spanglish ... I chickened out.” After trying the slam again the following week, Zihuatanejo won eight consecutive contests. He was asked numerous times to perform his poetry across the nation, making it difficult to maintain his teaching career, and he eventually decided to take a hiatus from his class to focus on his performance. Zihuatanejo said he now bases his shows on “the experiences of a youth that was plagued by gang violence, a heritage that steeped in sacrifice, and borders.” “To me, the main reason [for performing] is a sake of desperation — a desperation to tell stories in the voices of guys I grew up with,” Zihuatanejo said. “Borders were crossed to make this country. Someone should not have to sacrifice their life to get into this country.” Latino American culture is also a main focus in Zihuatanejo’s show, as well as his personal relationship with his grandfather, who raised him to develop a love for writing, he said. “A man came up and said to me, ‘I haven’t thought about my grandfather for years and you made me think of him,” Zihuatanejo said, recalling one of his performances. “This is exactly what I want to do with my life. I want to help people remember feelings that they should.” Although his message is peaceful and optimistic, Zihuatanejo has struggled with racism in the past. During one poetry competition, Zihuatanejo debated between reciting a comedic poem or one of his more serious

you made me think of him,” Zihuatanejo said, recalling one of his performances. “This is exactly what I want to do with my life. I want to help people remember feelings that they should.” Although his message is peaceful and optimistic, Zihuatanejo has struggled with racism in the past. During one poetry competition, Zihuatanejo debated between reciting a comedic poem or one of his more serious pieces, titled “This is a Suit.” Zihuatanejo chose “Suit” and after his performance, he began to think he had won. “Everyone was yelling for [a perfect score],” Zihuatanejo said. “Then I looked down and a man in front, one of the judges, actually ran his thumb across this throat.”
Dance with
Me Latin Dance
This one instance of racism, however, has not shaken the poet’s performance Joaquin and he continues to stick by the motto, “the best poem never wins.” Zihuatanejo said he attempts to unite his audiences with his poetry in an effort to extinguish racism and promote tolerance throughout the nation. “I want people to realize that we are all the same, there is no distinction,” he said. “We all have the ability to feel, and dream and hurt and love and there’s something wonderful in that connection. There are these events that make us realize how connected we all are to one another and poetry is one of those things.”
