Iowa State addresses actions, consequences of illegal downloading

By Morgan.Fleener @iowastatedaily.com

CYCLONE CINEMA: “PARANORMAL 3”

During the 2010-2011 school year, Iowa State reported the lowest number of complaints regarding illegal file sharing and uploading connecting with campus Internet.

With numerous resources to receive content from the music, television and movie industry, students have found numerous ways to easily access media content in an instant and free process.

However, faculty and students may or may not be aware that the downloading of their favorite song or movie could very well likely be an illegal act leading to further action affecting both the individual and the university.

Jeffrey Blevins, associate professor of journalism and communication, feels that students should be well aware the university monitors the network to see what em-

Leath lays out about plans for funding

By Charles O’Brien Daily staff writer Access, affordability, quality: These are the main goals of President Steven Leath’s tenure, which began four weeks ago.

At Wednesday night’s Government of the Student Body meeting, Leath spoke about his plan for Iowa State, which includes everything from funding to heightening its image.

Leath began by saying how he had been on a listening tour so far: figuring out what to do, hearing ideas on what works and what does not. One of the main problems he had heard about was the funding issue.

“When I got here, there was nothing wrong or broken even though you guys had been cut 22 percent in the past five years,” Leath said.

Leath talked about how he is negotiating with the Iowa Legislature for an increase in funding after the university’s budget had been cut five years in a row.

Moving from the topic of the budget, he began to speak about tuition and student debt, which are some of his main goals to fix. Leath talked about the $860 million donated to the Capital Campaign which is part of his plan to counter tuition costs; currently from this campaign they have developed 700 new scholarships.

“We are trying to sustain and better the quality here while keeping tuition costs low,” Leath said.

Following this statement he said Iowa State had a 90 percent job placement rate.

“Iowa State needs to be a little less humble. We’re trying to raise the prestige more here which increases the value of your degree,” Leath said. “We need to start raising our profile, showing what we got here and raise awareness about how good Iowa State actually is.”

Leaps forward, steps backward in LGBT rights

Democrats create club

By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com

By Elizabeth.Zabel @iowastatedaily.com With the election year quickly closing in, it is a great time for America and more specifically ISU students to actively participate in their government. Iowa State’s new ISU College Democrats club provides a place for students to learn and be active in the political community.

Abhishek Vemuri, senior in electrical engineering and president of the ISU College Democrats, said he plans to “create a sustainable group of students and a forum for them to learn what it means to be civically engaged.”

After only one official meeting, the club has 27 registered members. Ideally, the club is shooting for 50 members who regularly attend and participate. Vemuri said he hopes to see every member doing at least 10 hours of work, which can include campaign work, participating in debates, or even writing an letter to the editor for the paper — anything to engage themselves in politics.

This week has contained both strides forward as well as backward for members of the LGBT community.

On Tuesday, Proposition 8, a ballot proposition in California that passed in November 2008, which stated, “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California,” was ruled unconstitutional by a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals panel.

On Wednesday night, Washington state lawmakers approved same sex marriage. This decision will make Washington the seventh state to allow same sex marriage. The District of Columbia also allows same sex marriage.

In Iowa, Gov. Terry Branstad’s administration stated on Monday that it would be appealing a Polk County District Court ruling. The ruling required state health officials to grant a birth certificate containing the names of both members of a same sex couple to be listed as legal parents to a 2-year-old girl.

The appeal was filed by the Iowa Department of Public Health, which deals with birth, death and marriage certificates as part of their vital records. “[The LGBT Community] is celebrating the victory in California but not stopping there,” said Warren Blumenfeld, associate professor of curriculum and instruction at Iowa State. “We will not get our rights until we have national rights protecting LGBT members.”

Miles Brainard, freshman in pre-community and regional planning, said that he fears finding of Proposition 8 unconstitutional will not bring same sex marriage or be the end of the line.

Celebrity News Notes and events.

Nicole Scherzinger: I gave ‘X Factor’ 110 percent If season 1 of “The X Factor” was “basically an audition act,” as Fox’s president of alternative entertainment, Mike Darnell, has said, former “X Factor” mentor/judge Nicole Scherzinger gave that “audition” her all.

The singer speaks on her recent, sudden departure from the series in an interview with “Access Hollywood,” although she does not articulate exactly what happened with her exit.

“What happened? Well, all I know is that I gave 110 percent to that show,” Scherzinger said.

“I know everybody’s talking about it, they’re saying good, bad, they love me, they hate me, but one thing you can’t say is that I didn’t give it my all.”

With “X Factor” behind her, Scherzinger is now preparing for a fast-approaching European tour and putting “the finishing touches” on the U.S. release of her album “Killer Love.” In the end, she says, there are not any hard feelings.

“I had a wonderful experience on the show,” she says. “I loved being a part of my ‘X Factor’ family. Nothing could prepare me for everything I had to go through, all the emotions and stuff, but I have no regrets. I’ve always believed in never looking back and just moving forward, and I’ve got an amazing year to look forward to.”

‘The Pauly D Project,’ ‘Punk’d’ to premiere in March What does DJ Pauly D do when he is not logging hours at the Shore Store, styling his infamous blowout, or picking grenades up at Karma? We will soon find out.

The reality star’s “Jersey Shore” spin-off, “The Pauly D Project,” is set to air on MTV in March.

The 12-episode series will follow Pauly D on his quest to find a place in the music industry.

As it documents Pauly D’s post-”Shore” accomplishments, viewers will get to witness the DJ sign a recording contract with 50 Cent’s G-Note Records and join Britney Spears on her “Femme Fatale” tour, MTV wrote in a press release.

Instead of Snooki and Co., Pauly D will be accompanied by his Rhode Island posse, who — wouldn’t you know it — come equipped with their own TVready nicknames.

But before viewers catch “The Pauly D Project,” they are going to get “Punk’d.”

After an almost five-year hiatus, executive producer Ashton Kutcher is bringing “Punk’d” back to the network.

MTV will debut the new “Punk’d” at 10 p.m. ET on March 29, followed by “The Pauly D Project” at 10:30.

What Jennifer Aniston digs about Justin Theroux

Octavia Spencer: Media should reflect multicultural world Hate it or love it, Octavia Spencer’s film “The Help” has at the very least sparked healthy amounts of dialogue about race and diversity in Hollywood.

Spencer, who portrays a maid living in the segregated South in the ‘60s-era movie, tells CNN that in order to see a greater amount of diversity in cinema, we as moviegoers need to buy tickets to films that reflect such casting.

“I think Hollywood basically gives people what they think people want,” the best supporting actress Oscar nominee said.

“And what they think the people want is what people pay money to see. We can’t really blame it all on Hollywood when the majority of the movies that are

getting the big dollars are the ones that are blockbuster films,” she continued. “So if we want more films with diversity like ‘A Better Life,’ like ‘The Help,’ then we have to support those films.

We just have to! We have to go support ‘Red Tails,’ we have to support ‘Pariah.’”

Spencer’s also hopeful that her successful turn in “The Help” will open doors for more actors of color.

“I just hope to keep being on screen, because the more they see me, the more they will start asking for people like me,” she said. “They will, hopefully, continue to employ young women like me. Or older. So I just think being visible helps our cause.”

And, by the way, she notes — “actors of color” does not solely refer to African Americans.

Her visibility not only “gives more women a shot,” but it does the same for actors of all races, she said.

“I think people mistakenly think when we say ‘of color’ that we mean only black. ‘Of color’ is Latina, ‘of color’ is Asian, ‘of color’ is Indian/Native American.

We live in a very multifaceted, multicultural world, and that needs to be represented in our media as well.”

Jennifer Aniston’s romantic ups-and-downs have been well-documented, but the good news is that the actress now has a solid idea of what she wants in a man.

“Having experienced everything you don’t want in a partner over time, it starts to narrow down to what you actually do want,” the actress told InStyle in its March issue, which will be available Friday. “As I get older I realize what qualities are important in love and what suits me. And what I won’t settle for.”

Now dating her “Wanderlust” co-star Justin Theroux, Aniston says one thing she admires about him is his taste.

“First of all, he has great style-it’s very specific, and it has been his style forever,” Aniston said.

“Has it influenced mine? No, but I know people say it has.

‘Oh, look, you’re dressing alike.’

And I think, ‘No I’m not. I’ve had this jacket for three years!’”

The actress is also gearing up for her 43rd birthday on Feb. 11, and while she is not bemoaning getting another year older, there

is one thing that makes her feel up in age.

“When I see girls who are 20-something, or the new crop of actresses, and [I] think, ‘Aren’t we kind of the same age?’ You lose perspective,” she says.

“Or being offered the part of a woman with a 17-year-old child.

It’s like, ‘I’m not old enough to have a 17-year-old!’ And then you realize, well, yeah, you are.”

That said, “I don’t feel my age,” Aniston tells the magazine.

Grammys set stage for Adele With nothing more than a piano, a little black dress and a microphone, Adele rouses crowds using her emotions and her voice.

It is her modus operandi, and it is likely how viewers will see the British songstress perform at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.

The awards show will be Adele’s first time taking the stage since she underwent laser microsurgery on a benign polyp on her vocal cords in November. That, in addition to the fact that she is credited with the music industry’s 2011 uptick, means all eyes will certainly be on her.

Adele, who is nominated for six Grammy Awards — including nods for album of the year and song of the year — surprised fans when she tweeted about her impending performance.

Keith Caulfield, the associate director of charts at Billboard, said he expects the singer to captivate viewers on Sunday night, just as she did at the BRIT Awards in February 2011 and then again at the MTV Video Music Awards in August.

Veterinary Medicine

Student association increases business ideas

By Amber.Hovey @iowastatedaily.com The Veterinary Business Management Association placed third this year in an annual competition against 33 chapters across the United States as well as a few international chapters.

VBMA is a student-driven organization that allows students in the College of Veterinary Medicine to “increase business knowledge and

create networking opportunities,” according to the VBMA’s website.

“We want not only to be good doctors, but good businessmen,” said Katie Weigman, third year veterinary medicine student and president of Iowa State’s VBMA chapter.

The competition ranking is based on membership, participation and number of events each chapter holds throughout the year. For every event held, the club will submit a form to the National VBMA executive board,

who keeps track of all the different chapters.

“ISU VBMA had a great year with a very busy executive team that kept working to make sure our chapter members always had a new speaker to look forward to every couple of weeks,” said Tyler Feldhacker, third year veterinary medicine student and vice president of Iowa State’s chapter.

The executive team also organized two business-related courses for the veterinary students to take,

Feldhacker said.

Members of the organization had the chance to travel to Orlando, Fla., for the National VBMA conference Jan. 13 to 14 where they received $1,000 as well as a plaque for being the third most active VBMA chapter.

Iowa State’s VBMA provides veterinary medicine students the opportunity to hear from speakers about practice management and student debt, Weigman said.

The organization also hosts work-

shops such as resume building, she said.

Weigman said the average debt for a veterinary medicine student is about $130,000.

Also, many of the members hope to be owners of their own businesses someday, Weigman said. Weigman plans to work in equine ambulatory practices after school and eventually own her own practice.

“We take a lot of pride in our accomplishments,” she said.

If the university is aware of illegal activity taking place within the campus network and fail to do nothing about the issue, action penalizing both the university and the individual could take place.

Iowa State is home to 2 of about 12 labs worldwide pioneering research in TAL effector nuclease as a method of gene editing.

In addition to Bogdanove’s advances in genomic editing, Bing Yang, assistant professor of genetics and cell biology, and his research team generated much of the raw material behind the understanding of TAL effector proteins.

Yang said that TAL effector nucleases cannot only create specific mutations but also swap in and repair DNA segments very precisely.

This editing technology has potential in medical research to replace defective genes with stem cells.

“Gene and cell therapy is one of the fields that TAL effectors have generated the most excitement in,” Bogdanove said. “These are potentially earthshaking developments.”

In furthering understanding of the structure of TAL effector nucleases, Bogdanove collaborated with the Fred Hutchinson Research Center to create a computer model of the TAL effector nuclease protein binding to DNA. This model is to be published in the upcoming issue of

Vital Plan B vending keeps safe sex safer In a small town in Pennsylvania, Shippensburg University is gaining media attention over a somewhat controversial service offered by their health center. Roughly two years ago, a vending machine was installed in the student health center that contained a variety of useful things for students, including condoms and the Plan B emergency contraceptive pill.

The placement of Plan B in an easily accessible vending machine came at the response of the students at the school, numbering around 8,300.

The idea stemmed from a survey on health services, and an overwhelming 85 percent of respondents supported selling Plan B in this manner.

Though the vending machine has been in place for a while, it is just recently gaining attention as Americans continue to have discussions about women’s health and contraceptive services. The only foreseeable legal problem is access by underage women. Federal law allows those older than 17 to simply purchase Plan B, while those younger need a prescription. In this case, however, that is not an issue. The machine is located in an area of the health center only available to faculty and students.

Having over-the-counter medications in vending machines is nothing new. Hotels frequently have machines where visitors can purchase Tylenol, aspirin or other non-prescription drugs. Even our convenience stores on campus have these sorts of medications available to students, as well as free condoms available at hall desks and around campus. Any controversy surrounding the same availability of a non-prescription medication like Plan B has little basis.

While the legality of the vending machine is not a problem, there are other concerns that should be addressed if a morning-after pill is dispensed without a pharmacist. It’s unclear if any medical staff subsequently discuss any medical risks or side effects that could occur after using Plan B, but it is certainly an important consideration.

Additionally, some worry that the rather impersonal approach to the contraceptive measure would result in a deterrent for women who had been sexually assaulted or raped to seek further action. These women may require other medical attention or counseling services that they fail to seek because they received assistance from a vending machine rather than a trained professional.

While the idea of dispensing the morning-after pill in a way that is easily accessible and private for students that require it is laudable, the health center should be taking steps to ensure that students are still aware of any pertinent medical information, as well as making sure students that may be seeking Plan B as a result of assault are given the proper care and resources they need.

Photo courtesy of Thinkstock A piece of Indiana legislation is trying to push creationism in science classrooms again. The legislation is in conflict with the Kitzmiller v. Dover back in 2005, which ruled that attempting to teach “intelligent design” was the equivalent of teaching creationism.

Creationism causes chaos Indiana Legislature wastes its time debating religion

O

nce again, a state is trying to pass an underhanded bit of legislation that would be used to inject religious views into a public school science classroom. At the end of January, the Indiana Senate approved a bill that would allow schools to teach “various theories of the origin of life.” While the legislation still has to pass through committee and the Indiana House of Representatives, the fact that creationist legislation has once again been introduced at a state level is troubling.

Since the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial in 2005, it was ruled that attempting to teach “intelligent design” was the equivalent of teaching creationism, a distinctly religious idea, and was not permissible in the science classrooms of public schools. Despite this clear Supreme Court ruling, multiple states and school districts have continued to attempt adding creation “science” to public school classrooms.

The text of Indiana’s proposed legislation originally read as follows: “Sec. 18. The governing body of a school corporation may require the teaching of various theories concerning the origin of life, including creation science, within the school corporation.”

Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, this bill did not even attempt to disguise teaching creationism as the less threatening intelligent design.

And it is a certainty that any attempt to teach “creation science” in schools will be a distinctly Christian creation story, considering the US’s current religious demographics..

It then becomes telling that the bill was amended to read somewhat differently after it passed through the Indiana Senate. The text of the current bill removes the use of the term “creation science” and adds on “the curricu-

By Claire.Vriezen @iowastatedaily.com lum for the course must include theories from multiple religions, which may include, but is not limited to, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Scientology.” The change was introduced by Sen. Vi Simpson, D-Bloomington, in a move she hoped would bluntly point out the religious implications of the bill. The sponsor of the bill stated that he disliked the change to the bill but hoped that it would increase support.

Thankfully, after a good deal of opposition from the scientific community, the House speaker noted that this issue was something that had previously been ruled upon by the U.S. Supreme Court, and this amendment may be a “side issue and someplace we don’t need to go.”

It is questionable whether the bill will progress further, but the fact that it was introduced gives yet another look at the climate towards evolution in schools in America.

While it could be argued that the phrasing of the bill doesn’t specify the curriculum be implemented in a science classroom, the original text of the bill that contained the phrase “creation science,” implying an intended change to the science curriculum, and the topic of the origin of life is usually reserved for a life sciences or biology course.

Sen. Brandt Hershman, R-Wheatfield, considers the current wording of the bill to be “no different than any history of philosophy class we would offer in high school or a curriculum setting.” If, perhaps, this bill was for the discus-

sion of creation stories among various religions and taught in the context of a history, religion or philosophy course, there would be little issue. However, presenting any creation stories — regardless of which religion they stem from — as scientific ideas violates the fundamentals of scientific theories.

Evolution is taught as a valid theory and set of facts because it is such. In science, facts refer to things that are directly observable.

Measurements, observations and data all constitute facts. Facts that support the theory of evolution include things like the extensive fossil record, DNA sequencing data and experiments or observations of the evolution of species in a lab or natural setting.

Additionally, a theory in science refers to “a comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence.” Well accepted theories include the theory of heliocentricity, the germ theory of disease, the theory of gravity and the theory of plate tectonics, to name a few. Evolution is the theory that explains all the facts we have collected with regards to the mutability of species.

Theories must also be falsifiable and can be used to predict about the world.

Creation stories are not equivalent ideas to tested and refined scientific theories and, as such, should not be taught alongside evolution. They cannot be falsified, nor do they have predictive power. On a further note, the state legislature of Indiana should not be spending time arguing about whether to amend the curriculum to allow for the addition of religious ideas in a science classroom. There are surely better uses of their time and resources.

Community

Isolation not part of Iowa towns A s we orchestrate our lives through the ups and downs and ins and outs of college life, we also begin to expand our world to new opportunities and new people. I’ve met people from all over the country and the world in my two brief years of being in college. Each one has a different story from the last, but it’s the people from the big cities that intrigue me the most.

The ones who graduated “in a really small class” of only 120 people that make me laugh the most and the ones who feel “so isolated” in our small rural communities of Iowa that baffle me the most.

As I drove home this last weekend, I drove along two-lane highways stitched together with small towns and farm houses. I drove past empty fields laced with red dirt roads. I passed by farmers in trucks and even a tractor slowly making its way down the road, unusual for this time of year.

As I saw all these things I’ve seen all my life, I wondered how people could mock these small communities filled with hard working, patriotic, and most of all, kind people.

I have been a part of two small communities in northwest Iowa for the past 10 years. I grew up in a community where I could not walk down the street without somebody recognizing me and the people I was with.

I graduated from a relatively small school in a rather large class

By Emma.Rinehart @iowastatedaily.com of 38. I knew every single person in my class. I knew their families, and their families knew me. All these people helped to make me who I am today, they created a support system that is probably unfathomable to people from larger areas.

Of course, this unit of support doesn’t always work to one’s advantage. Every time I was ever pulled over for speeding the entire county knew about it within the hour, including my dad. Although word spreads fast and it is virtually impossible to hide anything from your family, the same people that are ready to laugh at you for getting pulled are also the same ones who are rooting for your local teams and speech competitions to do well in their respective competitions.

Visiting the big cities is fantastic. The lights, the unlimited entertainment and the loud hustle and bustle are all exciting and energizing. They all contribute to a new and exciting atmosphere full of new opportunities and exciting new people. Things that are never

seen in small towns can be found in huge cities. Going back to the “fly over states,” however, brings us all back to a more simple time, a more relaxed pace, but that is not to say that small towns don’t have fun. Where else is someone going to attend a festival called Tall Corn Days?

When I hear people talking about being isolated and being in the middle of nowhere when they come to Iowa, two thoughts ensue.

First, the middle of nowhere is just west of Omaha. Second, how can one feel isolated in the middle of Iowa? It’s a place where everybody knows you and your story, and they genuinely care about you.

I have never lived in a big city, but I doubt it’s easy to find people you

know in every nook and cranny of the city like you can in a tiny town in the Midwest.

Before anyone says how boring small town life is, think twice.

Small town life provides everyone with a sense of security and fellowship. It is truly a community filled with people who have common goals and will be with you every step of the way in achieving those goals, whether you like it or not. The only way a person can feel isolated in the Midwest is if they have the mindset they are isolated.

ISU draws No. 3 seed in Sunday’s tournament

By Jake Calhoun, Daily staff writer The ISU wrestling team has drawn the No. 3 seed for the NWCA National Duals Midwest Regional tournament, which will be held on Sunday at Hilton Coliseum.

Iowa drew the top seed and will receive a first-round bye of the six-team tournament. Oregon State will also receive a bye, drawing the No. 2 seed.

The Cyclones (3-12, 0-6 Big 12) will face No. 6 Wisconsin at 11 a.m. on mat 2. If Iowa State wins, it will face Oregon State at 1 p.m. also on mat 2.

The other first-round matchup will feature No. 4 Virginia Tech against No. 5 Northern Iowa, which will be held on mat 1.

Basketball:

Mansfield leads team to third straight win Behind a 39-point first half, the Cyclones coasted to a win at Missouri 65-52.

The Cyclones are now 14-8 and are only one game away from getting back to .500 in the Big 12 at 5-6 after starting 0-5 in conference play.

Senior guard Lauren Mansfield lead Iowa State with 21 points, and eight rebounds. She continuted her hot shooting hitting five threes and 4-4 from the free throw line.

In the second half where the Cyclones made a mere four field goals, the difference in the game came from the charity stripe. As a team Iowa State made 18 of 20 free throws compared to Missouri’s three of seven.

The Cyclones next play at Texas Tech on Sunday.

Cyclones prep for new year Unofficial fall season boosts spring hitting

By Mark.Schafer @iowastatedaily.com Last weekend was the unofficial start to the season for the ISU men’s golf team, as it traveled to Arizona to play three other Iowa schools in the first of many tournaments in 2012.

The NCAA golf season officially lasts from February to June, but that doesn’t mean that the clubs will stop swinging after the NCAA tournament is over.

“We play most of the year. We don’t have tournaments every weekend, but we have at least a couple every month from February to, I’d say, about November,” said senior Nate McCoy.

“Once we get started, we never really stop.”

Much of the spring semester will be spent competing for Iowa State, as the NCAA and Big 12 golf seasons start next week, when the team will travel to Texas on Monday for the Texas-San Antonio Invitational.

From there, the Cyclones will travel on for seven more weekends with a possible eighth weekend of travel depending on how the team does at NCAA Regionals.

“You have the spring tournaments and then a lot of them play tournaments in the summer and then you have the fall season,” said coach Andrew Tank. “For most of the guys, they are playing competitive golf from Feb. 1 to Nov. 1.”

A lot of the players will keep playing tournaments in the summer to stay

son, Tank said it is the perfect time to increase the number of workouts to stay sharp over the break.

“The nice thing about our workouts, our guys were working out five days a week in November and December, and then now that we got back this semester they are working out four days a week,” Tank said.

“That’s good for just the team building, pushing each other in the weight room.”

Now that the break is over though the team seems to be ready to face the long tournament season that is a head of them.

“It’s a long season, but we couldn’t be more excited to move on to the next [tournament],” said freshman Sam Daley. “Our break is over, and now it’s time to put what we’ve been working on the last three months to the test.”

Soccer

Co-captain Graboski heads out

By Cory.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com It is five weeks into classes at Iowa State, but for Caitlin Graboski, former ISU soccer co-captain, has a slight change in scenery.

The sophomore midfielder left Iowa State when the fall semester ended and is currently a student at Minnesota State University-Mankato, where she will start in the fall.

The new school is just two hours away from her hometown of Woodbury, Minn., and Graboski said she did not feel comfortable at Iowa State, beginning as a freshman in 2010.

“I thought it would get better my sophomore year, being older, wiser and knowing more,” she said. “But it didn’t,

in shape when they are away from the school trainers.

“We usually have set training schedules throughout the summer,” said freshman Scott Fernandez. “I think a good way to stay in shape is playing in tournaments, it keeps the mind and body focused so when school comes around we are ready for the fall season.”

Even though the fall season isn’t a part of the NCAA golf season, McCoy said it is still an important part of the season for the golfers.

“If we didn’t have the fall tournaments then our spring tournaments wouldn’t go as well as they do,” McCoy said. “[The fall] is really a time to keep on top of our game and see where the other teams are at.”

With three months separating the fall season from the official NCAA sea-

and I just wasn’t happy or comfortable at ISU. So after the fall 2011 season, I decided I needed to make a change.”

Teammate Emily Goldstein said she saw the depar-

ture coming from a distance; it was clear Graboski wasn’t enjoying Iowa State as much as her teammates.

Beginning Thursday and going through Sunday, music from Queen and Beirut, tales from Russia, and a collection of eclectic props and instruments collide in the ISU Theatre performance of “Chekhov Short Stories.”

The play is a special project for director Matt Foss and the cast of 11 actors because they are not only performing the show: They also created it.

The ensemble took two short stories, “The Kiss” and “The Lady with the Lapdog,” by Russian author Anton Chekhov and adapted them to form their own production unique to ISU Theatre.

“I have always loved the plays, and ‘The Kiss’ was one of my favorite stories from college literature courses,” Foss said, who studied some of Chekhov’s works while training with the Moscow Art Theatre. “We wanted to see if these stories, as brief as they were, could expand out into a full length play, and we have been working in that direction since September.”

Foss said the September auditions for the production were focused more on forming a family than assigning roles.

“When I heard about the project I was like, ‘Oh, that would be super cool’, and anytime you are excited about anything, you want to be a part

With multiple characters in each story, and only 11 cast members to play those characters, each individual must play numerous roles in each play.

“A lot of work goes into making very specific characters, not just caricatures,” said Jeff White, senior in performing arts. “You don’t want to be just some random street sweeper, you want to be a very specific street sweeper who has very specific opinion.”

During rehearsals, the 11 members would bounce ideas off each other, brainstorming ways they could translate Chekhov’s stories in the most honest way possible while creating their own original production.

Everyone evaluated the main themes and characters, and worked together to create a production that will hold true to Chekhov’s original

Anton Chekhov (Jan. 29, 1860, to July 15, 1904) was born in the small port city of Taganrog, Russia.

He was the third of six children, and although his childhood was rough, he eventually moved on to study medicine at Moscow University in 1879.

Alongside his work in the medical field, Chekhov began writing short humorous articles for the local paper as a way to earn extra money.

These articles gained popularity quickly, and soon Chekhov was writing numerous short stories and full length plays.

His most successful works include “The Seagull,” “The Cherry Orchard” and “The Kiss.”

Chekhov believed that an artist should ask questions rather than answer them, and his writings explore the depths of human emotion.

Even today, Chekhov is known as one of the greatest short-story writers in the world.

ideas.

“We’ve literally constructed a world out of a steel framed bed and some chairs,” said Peterson. “We’ve just created this world with very specific rules but rules we created using Chekhov’s writings as a guide.”

Peterson and White agreed it has been rewarding for them to watch their efforts unfold before their eyes as they prepare for opening night

Leslie Hall comes home

By Vincent Geerts Ames247 writer It has been two years since Ames’ Leslie Hall toured with her band Leslie and the LY’s, but after the release of her latest record, “Destination Friendship,” she hits the road.

“We wanted to get out there and promote the new album and some new dance moves,” Hall said.

In the theme of friendship, Leslie and the Ly’s will perform with friend bands Pennyhawk and Ramona and the Swimsuits throughout the month and a half tour. The first tour date, or “pre-tour rehearsal” as Hall called it, takes place Wednesday at the Ames Pantorium.

For this show only, Maximum Ames will offer Hall’s new dance remix on 7” vinyl for $5. Hall will offer $5, $10 and $15 tickets for each show on the tour.

The tour will take the bands from coast to coast.

Ramona and the Swimsuits are touring veterans, but

will see its first road time after very few practices.

Muse is also happy to back Hall during her performances as one of the LY’s. Kate Kennedy will perform as an LY, play drums for the new group and front Pennyhawk.

Derek Lambert, of Derek Lambert and the Prairie Fires, is also a member of the “swimsuits.” He said the group’s “easy and fun” music “is a good way to go.” He did not hesitate to accompany Hall and friends.

“I love going on the road. … [Leslie and the LY’s] being one of my favorite bands, it was an easy decision,” Lambert said.

With so many friends on the road with her, Hall expects the tour to be highly enjoyable.

They believe that although the stories were written long ago, the messages are still very relatable, even today.

“In my experience with Chekhov, the characters he writes are not good guys or bad guys,“ said White. “Every character is just very human, so in that sense, I think that everyone can relate to them.”

Amber Fitzsimmons

By Michael Still Ames247 Writer Amber Fitzsimmons, senior in performing arts and international studies with a minor in French, is directing the Story Theater Company’s production of “The Jungle Book” this weekend. You can catch her show at the Ames City Auditorium Feb. 10 and 17 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 11, 12, 18, 19 at 2 p.m. Tickets for adults are $8 at the door or $6 in advance from Ames Community Gym.

Q: When did you first discover your love for theatre?

A: Probably when I was younger. I always liked movies and stuff, but I really hadn’t had much experience with theatre until I went and saw a show when I was in grade school. ... It was so cool with all the things flying in and out. ...

I didn’t really discover that I loved theatre until probably high school when I started getting really involved in it. ... I actually started in the techie realm and moved into acting and now directing.

Know a student who would make an interesting profile?

Let us know at ames247@ iowastatedaily.com

Q: How did you get involved with directing for the Story Theater Company?

A: Brad Dell. He is on the board of directors for the Story Theater Company, sent out an email to the performing arts email list, and I responded “Hey, that’d be cool, I want to direct ‘The Jungle Book.’ I like ‘The Jungle Book’!” So he got back to me and was like, “Hey, you’re in!” and I was like, “Sweet!”

Q: What challenges did you face while working on this production?

A: Working with kids is a very interesting challenge, because they communicate differently. ...

I teach the kids about acting and what an objective, action, tactic and plot structure is.

Q: What is your favorite thing about directing children’s theatre?

A: Probably again working with kids, because they are so creative in their own way. ... Also working with my production team, they’ve been fantastic, and getting to know the Story Theater Company community. ... When you start getting going and when you start seeing things come together, you can’t help but be excited about it.

MUSIC | MARATHON

By Vincent Geerts Ames247 writer The Space for Ames was packed with eager listeners for the greater part of the 15-Hour Music Marathon’s entirety.

Almost 250 people purchased a $10 wristband for the event, which carried late into the night.

Depending on the time, the whole crowd could be seen jumping and sining to the music or gathering close on the floor.

Artists throughout the day proclaimed their love for Ames and its people, citing the community as their inspiration and motivation. All 50 bands performed at their scheduled time, with minutes between the acts at most.

The Space for Ames owner Nate Logsdon credited the artists for making the event possible.

“Not only for playing music, but setting up gear and moving stuff around,” Logsdon explained. “It says a lot about the folks who play in our community.”

He believes the event proved The Space’s importance to the Ames community. The audience was truly of all ages, with babies and grandparents alike.

“There are so many people who want to support it and be a part of it,” Logsdon said. “It’s become a vital part of our community.”

Goals drive Cyclones

By Stephen Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com

At the ISU gymnastics team’s practice gym, there are posters along the back wall with words such as “Desire,” “Dedication” and “Leadership” printed on them. The highest poster in the gym, however, is “Drive”.

The team is constantly changing its goals to keep its girls driven, said coach Jay Ronayne. On a white board in the gym written in black dryerase marker are some of their goals.

Written under “@ OU” are things like “23/24 Hits!” and “10/18 Sticks.” “Let’s do ittt!” are the final words on the board.

This season, Iowa State (2-3, 0-1 Big 12) has suffered from counting at least one fall in all of its meets. Having 23 hits out of 24 would be quite out of the ordinary from the pattern the Cyclones have set so far this year.

“Some have been handling it OK, and some have not,” Ronayne said. “We’re working with them right now to try to get them to focus on

>>GRABOSKI.p5 “It was kind of obvious that it wasn’t a good fit for her here because she was kind of homesick all the time, and she told all of us after one of our postseason workouts in the locker room,” Goldstein said.

Once she decided to leave the team, Graboski said she went through the recruiting process again and said she felt most comfortable at Mankato.

Being from Minnesota and a former high school player of the year, MSU-Mankato coach Peter McGahey said she was always on their radar.

“She’s a highly talented player but more importantly, a talent of character, and she’s going to have the opportunity to come in and help contribute right away,” McGahey said.

what’s important.”

No one on the team is pointing fingers. The falls have been in different events all season.

The team continues to improve meet after meet but has yet to peak.

“We’re in a position where we’re going to peak at the right time, which is regionals,” said senior Celine Paulus.

The coaching staff is not worried just yet.

“We’re three or four weeks away from panic time,” Ronayne said. “Everyone is still improving. The season doesn’t really start, if you think about it, until March.”

The Cylcones have three meets in March, including the Big 12 Championship. His team needs to be perfect if it hopes to beat out Missouri and Oklahoma this year.

“It’s a big deal to not count falls,” said freshman Caitlin Brown. “We need every little tenth we can get.”

has climbed to one of the best in NCAA Division II, including a trip to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament last season and Graboski said that played a roll as well.

When a team loses a starter like Graboski, it sometimes creates a big spot to fill in the starting lineup, but Iowa State coach Wendy Dillinger said it will be a lot easier because of her position.

“We’re deep; we’ll just make some adjustments, shift some things around and plug in the hole,” Dillinger said. “It’s not something that’s going to be devastating by any means.”

The Cyclones recently announced four recruits that would be joining the program in the fall that Goldstein said would also help fill the gap.

“We have a couple girls coming in that control that

spot, and we have a girls on the team also that have been really working hard to try and get that spot so now that she’s gone, these girls will have an opportunity to be able to step up and showcase their talent in that spot,” Dillinger said.

Graboski scored just three goals over her two seasons at Iowa State, which will not cause a big discrepancy in that area for the Cyclones.

Even despite not having the college experience she was looking for, Graboski said the decision to leave Ames and her teammates was tough and wished the best for Dillinger and her teammates.

“The hardest part was leaving my teammates,” she said.

“I think a majority of the girls were happy for me and supported my decision but it was still very difficult.”

This weekend, the ISU women’s track and field team will compete in the Iowa State Classic against such big-named schools as Iowa, Drake, North Dakota, South Dakota and Miami (Fla.).

Betsy Saina, senior long distance runner, said she has not done many things differently in order to prepare for this meet.

“Sometimes we can change what we do, but everything has been working,” Saina said. “We just did some speed things: the 200s [last] Tuesday and some hills Friday.”

The Iowa State Classic will feature highly athletic runners from across the nation. Saina will be running for a qualifying time in the 5,000-meter run.

“My goal all the time is to run the 5K,” Saina said. “If [the coaches] came to me and said, ‘What do you want to go to nationals with?’ I would probably say the 5K.” Saina has already qualified for the Indoor Championships with her 3,000-meter time.

She said she was happy with qualifying for the championships in the 3K, but she is just using that race as a fall back.

Assistant coach Travis Hartke said performance this weekend will depend upon this week’s practice.

“It’s getting recovered from [last weekend’s meet], getting a work out in, and making sure your body is 100 percent to go,” Hartke said.

Coach Corey Ihmels said he was confident in how he thinks his distance girls will perform at this week’s classic.

“I’m interested to see how fast they can go,” Ihmels said.

“I’m not too worried about it, and I’m not going to lose any sleep over it, but it would be nice for them to get out and

Men’s team comes home to competition

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com The ISU track and field team returned home from New York on Sunday and began training for the annual Iowa State Classic which will be this Thursday through Saturday at the Lied Recreation Center.

The competition will feature over 50 teams from all across the country including Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas State, Iowa, Nebraska and Miami (Fla.) to name a few.

Redshirt freshman distance runner Abdou Seye, who did not compete in New York last weekend, will run the 3,000-meter at the Iowa State Classic. Seye usually runs the mile but is just starting to run the 3,000-meter more in competition and is still learning how to run that race. “[I want to] definitely get up there in the race, compete and just do my best,” Seye said. “I really like the mile too so I’m just trying the events and seeing which one can I run the fastest to score at Big 12.”

Nick Schulze, sophomore distance runner, also stayed home from New York and said that training over that time consisted of higher mileage workouts with less intensity. At the Classic, Schulze will be running the mile and said he hopes to improve on his performance from the Bill Bergan Invitational.

“I would love to go under 4:10 this weekend,” Schulze said. “I think we have a couple guys on the team that are shooting for that or have already done that, so it should be a pretty good race.”

ISU coach Corey Ihmels said that the Iowa State Classic is a great meet for his kids to be exposed to talent from all across the country and see where they match up physically from where they are to where they should be.

“It’s important because it gives everybody an opportunity to run a high level race; and at home,” Ihmels said.

“We’re in a good spot and I think things are progressing.

You would like to hit it on all cylinders this weekend and

have a bunch of great performances. ... At the end of the day you just have to keep doing what you’re doing and keep getting better. ... It’s great for us to have an opportunity like this at home in front of the home crowd against some really good competition.”

Schulze said the Classic will be a valuable opportunity for competition before the Big 12 Championships.

“It’s a good confidence boost going into conference,” Schulze said.

Competition for the Iowa State Classic will begin at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, 9 a.m. on Friday and 11 a.m. on Saturday. All competition will be at the Lied Recreation Center.

get a good time.”

Ihmels is using this weekend’s meet as a scale to judge just where exactly his team is heading into the Indoor Championships and conference competition.

“This weekend will be a good barometer, we’ll know where we’re at,” Ihmels said.

“This is the time of year where we press the envelope a little bit in practice, and we’ll see where we’re at in the next few days.”

These events take place just before Iowa State is preparing to host the Midwest Bisexual Lesbian Gay Transgender Ally College Conference this weekend.

Blumenfeld said that he believes the recent events will be topics of discussion at the conference.

The Branstad administration was unable to be reached for comment after multiple phone calls and messages were left.

Bob Vander Platts, president and CEO of Iowa Family Leader, an organization which fights for the sanctity of marriage and traditional families, was unavailable for comment.

Chuck Hurley, vice president of the organization, was out of the state and also unavailable.

Wash. same-sex marriage bill passes

By Rachel La Corte Associated Press OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state lawmakers voted to approve gay marriage Wednesday, setting the stage for the state to become the seventh in the nation to allow same-sex couples to legally wed.

The action comes a day after a federal appeals court declared California’s ban on gay marriage unconstitutional, saying it was a violation of the civil rights of gay and lesbian couples.

The Washington House passed the bill on a 55-43 vote. The state Senate approved the measure last week. And Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire is expected to sign the measure into law next week.

Democratic Rep. Jamie Pedersen, a gay lawmaker from Seattle who has sponsored gay rights bills in the House

for several years, said that while he and his partner are grateful for the rights that exist under the state’s current domestic partnership law, “domestic partnership is a pale and inadequate substitute for marriage.”

Pedersen cited Tuesday’s ruling by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals during his remarks on the House floor.

“The court addressed the question of why marriage matters directly,” he said, and read a section from the ruling that stated “marriage is the name that society gives to the relationship that matters most between two adults.”

“I would like for our four children to grow up understanding that their daddy and their poppa have made that kind of a lifelong commitment to each other,” he said. “Marriage is the word that we use in our society to convey that idea.”

Several Republicans argued against

club, so Vemuri decided to restart it.

“We think we have a good group of at least ten to fifteen people who are willing to make this work and bring it back to life,” Vemuri said.

“We’re only in the infant stages,” Nguyen said. “Our main goal right now is to get the basic infrastructure to be a strong force on campus, especially during the election year.”

Ross Kimm, sophomore in finance and political science and intern for Obama for America, was one of the

>>DEMOCRATS.p1 puter science and math, said there had been a Democrats club years before but is no longer registered.

It was during Vemuri’s State of the Union viewing party that the idea of rebuilding the club sparked. Vemuri and Nguyen had managed to stuff 40 people into their small Frederiksen Court apartment for the event. A friend mentioned that he had noticed Iowa State was lacking a Democrats

the bill, saying that it goes against the tradition of marriage.

Rep. Jay Rodne, R-Snoqualmie, said that the measure “severs the cultural, historical and legal underpinnings of the institution of marriage.”

The gay marriage bill is Senate Bill 6239.

first members of the club. “There is a huge void here,” he said, “with people interested in what we are doing and talking about but without a place to do it: We want to provide that place.”

Kimm said he would really like to get everyone involved in local politics.

“Right now is a very interesting time in American politics. We need to get people talking, get people active.”

He said he would like to open a dialogue to get people asking questions.

“If people oppose us, great,” Kimm

said. “We love it. Let’s chat. Out of that interaction come better ideas and a greater space for public action.”

Vemuri said participation is key.

“If everyone comes together to participate, [the government] can be a tool to help society come together.

You don’t need to be afraid of it,” Vemuri said. “Active citizenry can use government as a tool to achieve things for the common good, but it only works if they are willing to get involved.”

and ISU LGBT Ally Alliance feels that the California decision is “very encouraging.”

Blumenfeld felt the California decision was a “big step forward” and believes that Proposition 8 was found unconstitutional because it “unfairly discriminates against a class of people,” which goes against the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment states, “No state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

As for the appeal from the Branstad administration, Brainard said that the administration is “picking at little things” since Iowa made same sex marriage legal.
