Mosman’s legacy
Section 3.4 undergoes alterations By Taysha Murtaugh Daily Staff Writer The long line to the microphone at the Faculty Senate meeting Tuesday symbolized the members’ concerns about the proposed changes to Sec- Townsend tion 3.4 in the faculty handbook — or Nonrenewal or Termination of Appointment. After a unanimous decision to withdraw the previous version of Section 3.4 and the Memorandum of Understanding, the senate debated the pros and cons of the new proposal. “Good shoes are an important part of politics,” said Anthony Townsend, associate professor in logistics operations

Two legislative pieces pass unanimously By Alexander Hutchins Daily Staff Writer The Ames City Council held a special session meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the City of Ames’ Land Use Policy Plan. Prior to the discussion, the council passed two pieces of legislation prior to the discussion. A resolution approving contract and bond for construction of a fishing pier at Ada Hayden Heritage Park and an ordinance closing a portion of right of way on Lincoln Way were both passed. Both resolutions passed unanimously. The council approved the East Lincoln Way ordinance on the first read. The remainder of the meeting was

Legislation
Ambassadors back regents’ proposal By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer The ISU Ambassadors went to the Capitol building Tuesday to talk to legislators and support the Board of Regents’ proposal. Mallory Phillips, director of ISU Ambassadors, said the group had a chance to talk with Andy Baumert, the regents’ lobbyist. Phillips said they talked about the new biorenewable lab and two more buildings, which are being constructed on campus and need funding. Private companies, such as John Deere, are offering funding but the projects needs the support of the legislators, Phillips said, and the legislators that she had a chance to talk with were supportive, but reminded her that they were still in the process of making the cuts. Phillips said that the ISU Ambassadors were supporting the Board of Regents’ proposal to bring $31 million back to the regents’ schools as the governor had announced he wanted to do in February. Phillips spoke with a legislator who said education was still at the top of the list, but the list she was shown went from K-12 schools to community colleges, then to Board of Regents’ schools. Phillips said the legislator said the legislature is doing “what we can.”
Student’s years at school, on team reflect hard work, determination, inspiration By Travis J. Cordes Daily Staff Writer It’s been more than 12 years since Shellie Mosman attended her first ISU women’s basketball game. The trip may have seemed innocuous at the time, but a simple, hour-long car ride down Highway 30 sparked a love for a university that has never been stronger than now. She won’t appear in the school record books, was never the leading scorer in a game and didn’t get to play the glory minutes in games that have defined the program over the past four years. Instead, her career was about something much greater: the unconditional love and support for her team, university and community that began more
years and has averaged just 1.1 points and 5.7 minutes per game. But the Carroll native was still able to embrace her role as a true student-athlete, doing everything she possibly could to be a positive influence on the lives of those around her. “I don’t know if I could have done everything without her,” said Anna Florzak, a fellow senior and bridesmaid in Mosman’s summer wedding. “She’s a great role model because she does everything right. Whether it’s her work ethic on the court or setting good examples off the court, she has been a key component to the success of this team.” Even at a quick glance, it’s easy to see what has made Mosman a great ambassador for women’s college basketball. For starters, she maintained a 4.0 GPA while getting her undergraduate degree in finance in just three years, and will receive her master’s degree in accounting this May. Her efforts in the classroom were recognized

Government of the Student Body
Cabinet members sought New position ideas create chance for interested students By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer
Roling
Government of the Student Body President-elect Luke Roling, and Vice President-elect, Nate Dobbels, are looking for members of their cabinet. Roling said there have already been some applications turned in, which he and Dobbels are looking through. Roling said he hopes to have an email out, announcing the search next week, and hopes to have the cabinet ready by April 5 to be confirmed by the GSB Senate in the fall. There are cabinet positions out-
Dobbels
lined in the GSB bylaws that Roling and Dobbels must keep on staff, but they have ideas for a few extra positions as well. Roling said he would like to keep a chief of staff and possibly bring back a director of sustainability. Both Roling and Dobbels have started the transition into being executives already. “[Jon] Turk sent me a long list of meetings I can attend,” Roling said. Roling said he is working with the current executive branch to set up for-
mal transition meetings, which will be scheduled after spring break. Roling said he and Dobbels are looking forward to the summer months as executives. “We don’t have as much school to focus on ... we are excited to work with the director of new student outreach to bring GSB to new student programs over the summer,” Roling said. Dobbels said the pair would like to work with orientation programs and Destination Iowa State to inform freshmen of what GSB does. Roling said they are working on administrative details right now, and they don’t want to get too ahead of themselves. Roling also mentioned working on relationships with the administration and the City of Ames during the summer.
“On April 5, we want to make sure we are ready to go,” Roling said. “We are just kind of rolling into this process — it just keeps building.” Chandra Peterson, current vice president who lost the race for president for the 2010–2011 academic year, will not be returning to GSB in the fall. Peterson said she will be interning in the Office of the Governor this summer and going to Greece in the spring. Peterson will be using her remaining time as vice president, and her free time next fall, to wrap up some of her current projects. She said she will be taking a light class load in the fall to ensure enough time to finish the projects. The first item on Peterson’s list to complete is making the ISU Green

than a decade ago. Because of her hard work and dedication that have come as a result, the impact Mosman left on those around her will resonate far beyond her time in Ames. “She is what Iowa State is supposed to be about,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “If you talk to people here and ask ‘What does Iowa State want to be, what does Iowa State represent and what does Iowa State want to do for young people?’ Shellie Mosman is a living, breathing example of just that. She is every good thing that Iowa State stands for.” Mosman said there was never a doubt in her mind about where she wanted to play college basketball. She was the earliest recruit ever to commit to Fennelly’s team, giving him a verbal pledge when she was just a 15-year-old high school freshman. Although she, like the rest, dreamed of being a superstar, things for Mosman never panned out in that fashion at Iowa State. She has only played in 71 of 134 games in four

The system would help the Flying Cyclones “improve safety, maintain skills and prepare for flying competitions,” according to the bill. According to the bill, the simulator will hopefully help the club appeal to more students. Tyler Albaugh also authored a bill that would update media equipment for the

GSB/ITS Media Committee. Dan Finnegan, senior in aerospace engineering, said the equipment is available for any organization to see at the communications building. Finnegan said that every year the committee replaces a fraction of the equipment in order to keep it up to date. This year the bill totals $29,390. Media items to be purchased this year, if the bill passes, include wide format LCD video projectors, eight
digital portable flip camcorders, six SLR cameras and lenses, two outdoor video projection system receivers along with projectors and sub-woofers. The weekly program will be put on by the GSB Finance Committee on the regular allocations process. Funding for regular allocations is to have its first read at the meeting.

Presententation celebrates culture Sri Lanka students share traditions with campus By Leonardo Guaiquirian Rivera Daily Correspondent The joy, enthusiasm and pride of the Sri Lankan people captured the attention of attendees Sunday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. The Sri Lankan Association at Iowa State showcased and shared some of its traditions and exquisite food with the Ames community. Hosts Vidushi Rambukwella, senior in marketing, and Devaka Cooray, senior in finance, entertained the audience throughout the evening and enhanced the importance of the awareness about their unique culture by showing video presentations and acknowledging the amount of talent all the performers possessed — who practiced constantly for six weeks, put the choreographies together and designed their own costumes. The video presentations promoted the Sri Lankan nature, biodiversity, cuisine, monuments, temples and biggest touristic spots, such as the sandy beaches in Southern Sri Lanka and the gigantic fortresses on the coast. The hosts also referred to the nation as “a small miracle,” or “the pearl of the Indian Ocean.” The ceremony officially started when Associate Vice President of Human Resources Services Carla R. Espinoza, addressed the crowd along with Director of International Students and Scholars James Dorsett. They both lit the traditional Sri Lankan oil lamp as a sign of welcome and opening. Espinoza was also the guest speaker. She shared some words of inspirations with the guests and made sure they were enthusiastically awaiting the performances that would take place. In her speech she explained that self-esteem was the most importance ingredient in the formula of success. “That message was clearly and honestly communicated on the Sri Lankan Cultural Night announcement,” Espinoza said. “The statement went like this, ‘It is our dream to showcase our rich culture and share our tasty foods at a color-
ful event.’ That expresses pride and enormous self esteem.” The Aradhana, or invitation dance, was performed by Lakshmi Attigala, graduate student in ecology, evolution and organismal biology. Another folk dance allowed the audience to see the Sri Lankan countryside. Dancers twirling to the rhythm of a song, “Sound of Her Laughter,” portrayed how people from this area of the island enjoy living in villages — which is likely to become a more popular trend nowadays. The hosts let the guests know that even though life is much easier in the countryside, people there also have to work hard to earn a living. Special guest performer Asitha Silva came from Oklahoma State University to show off his traditional and modern Sri Lankan dancing skills. Sri Lankan Student Association President Thilina Weerasekara, along with the help of Anna McCourt, senior in linguistics, reached out to the people in the crowd and taught them how to greet in Sinhala and Tamil, which are the official languages spoken in the nation. They told the audience more about the culture and history of Sri Lanka, which is the second-longest recorded history in the world and dates from 2,550 years ago. Weerasekara said “Ayubowan” and “Vanakkam” are both the usual ways to say hello and wish for someone to have a long life. He said Sri Lanka is 268 miles long and 139 miles wide, but despite its small size the island is one of the world’s most biodiverse places and a tourist paradise. “Sri Lanka is also considered by many astronomers to be one of the best places from which to view the universe,” Weerasekara said. He said that in Sri Lanka the sun shines year long, and the warm weather conditions make it possible to harvest fruits such as mango, watermelon, banana, pineapple and various spices, which contribute to the fact they produce the finest tea in the world. “Sri Lanka is not only the country that you see on BBC or CNN, there’s a lot more to it, and we want to show that in this event,” Weerasekara said. One of the dances was dedicated to the indig-

Recession
Job openings begin to show improvement WASHINGTON — Job openings rose sharply earlier this year, evidence that employers are slowly ramping up hiring. The number of openings in January rose about 7.6 percent, to 2.7 million, compared with December, the Labor Department said. That’s the highest total since February 2009. Hiring is critical to sustaining the economic recovery because job growth boosts incomes and helps restore the confidence needed to drive consumer spending. There are now about 5.5 unemployed people, on average, competing for each opening.

enous people. It was meant to show the traditional lifestyle of the Veddas tribe. The hosts described the performance to the audience as an enjoyable moment of the “lest complicated life,” and the enthusiasm arose as dancers went in circles surrounding a bonfire on stage. Mervyn Marasinghe, associate professor of statistics, expressed that he was very happy with the show and felt more proud about his culture than ever.
That’s still far more than the 1.7 people who were competing for each opening when the recession began. But it’s down from just over 6 people per opening in December 2009. Economists were encouraged by the report but cautioned that hiring will likely increase only gradually this year. “It’s getting better, though not as quickly as you’d like,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak. The economy has lost 8.4 million jobs since the recession began, the largest drop since the 1930s. The jobless rate was unchanged last month at 9.7 percent. Most economists expect the rate to remain elevated for several years.
Still, Greenhaus and other economists predict that the economy will gain 200,000– 300,000 jobs in March. That compares with the loss of 36,000 jobs that the government reported for February, though some of the reported losses last month were due to severe snowstorms. Up to 100,000 of the net job gains expected for March will be due to government hiring for the Census, Greenhaus said. The transition to job growth “is an important step in the expansion,” Nigel Gault, chief U.S. economist at IHS Global Insight, wrote in a note to clients. “It will not change the story that this will be a subdued recovery ... but will reduce the odds of a relapse.”
“Yellow rice is one of my favorite Sri Lankan foods.” Matasinghe said. One of the guests Prema Wickrama, who is originally from Sri Lanka and has been in the United States for 21 years, invited people from the Ames community to Sri Lanka. “It’s a beautiful place to go, and people are very kind. They will take care of you if you visit them,” Wickrama said. A fashion show was part of the event. Models wore casual clothing and elegant evening outfits, which presented traditional and modern formal fashion trends of the Sri Lankan society. At the end of the show, the
association extended a big thank you to the audience. People who helped make the event a success. Sri Lankan Association Vice President Achila Jayasuriya, junior in pre-computer science, explained that it took almost a year to organize the vivid event. “We wanted to show where we’re from and what we’re capable of doing,” Jayasuriya said. Lisa Tully, junior in English, said she enjoyed the show. “I’m much more culturally aware of Sri Lanka. I’d love to go there some day, and I hope Iowans take away the enthusiasm and energy that these people had tonight,” Tully said.

and management information systems as he stood and waited for his turn to speak. Faculty Senate President Arnold van der Valk said the handbook needs this policy on faculty termination, Section 3.4, in the event of elimination of academic programs and financial exigency. He said the new document “does a better job of protecting the faculty.” Although the majority of the senate agrees the new document is an improvement from the last, some members disagree that tenured faculty are receiving proper protection. Townsend said he’d like to see a guarantee of a portion of a salary to faculty who are transferred due to department eliminations. Mike Owen, president-elect and professor in agronomy said, “My fear is if we start getting too nit-picky about amendments, we’re going to kill the bill.” Owen said he feels the phrase “good faith efforts” covers the issue of salary and placement in other departments. The new policy outlines good faith efforts to transfer the affected faculty members to other colleges or departments where their services can
be used effectively. The transferred faculty’s rank and tenure would transfer with them, and an attempt to provide suitable compensation is suggested. However, no specific number or percentage of the members’ previous salary is guaranteed in the new position. Townsend suggested a transfer of 75 percent of transferred faculty members’ salary. “I think you do that and then everybody’s on board with this thing,” Townsend said, “and it becomes a beautiful moment in our history instead of one that’s very disruptive.” Another concern about the new document came from Stephen Porter, associate professor of educational leadership and policy studies. Porter said he’s grown “increasingly uneasy” about the new policy because of the confusion of when the elimination of faculty is appropriate. He said van der Valk’s contradiction when he said eliminations could occur because of budget cuts, and then later said they are only going to be used for academic purposes. Porter said that “specific departments and specific faculty can be targeted for elimination not because they’re not doing everything for their academic program but because they’ve annoyed the adminis-
COUNCIL from PAGE 1
a presentation on Ames’ Land Use Policy Plan by Steve Osguthorpe, director of planning and housing. Osguthorpe explained the elements and intent of the Land Use Policy Plan with an accompanying slideshow. The session did not involve any decisions on the Land Use Policy Plan, but was intended as an opportunity for the council to review the Land Use Policy Plan for a deeper understanding. Osguthorpe said the central tenants of the Land Use Policy Plan were intended to promote matching development to a pace of population growth in Ames. The Land Use Policy Plan manages the development in the existing areas of Ames with development of currently untouched land outside the current city. Thomas Wacha, city council member, asked Osguthorpe how the Land Use Policy Plan, which purports to manage the usage of untouched land in development, can promote re-
trator.” Porter’s concerns were followed by murmurs of approval, one clapper and even a “Huzzah!” from other members. Van der Valk assured the senate that in the event of necessary eliminations, departments would look at which programs are “academically the weakest” and then “prove it” to the Faculty Senate. He also reminded senate members that Section 3.4 encourages the university to find another home for faculty, saying termination is a “last resort.” Andrew Hochstetler, associate professor in sociology, said, “I think the one thing that has bothered me throughout this discussion is the implication that what’s going to die are withering and dead programs.” He asked for a definition of a withering program, and this request was resounded to with applause. The Faculty Senate will have a chance to review and critique the policy before it votes at the April 6 meeting. “There’s a unique bond at this university that doesn’t exist in other universities,” Townsend said. “We’ve got an opportunity right now to make the best of a bad situation so we can realign a relationship, and I think that the administration has an opportunity here to back up some of that.”
ducing intensification of core areas of Ames. The idea is to balance unpopular growth in already developed areas with growth that consumes new land, Osguthorpe said. He explained the Land Use Policy Plan is intended to provide a framework for deciding what types of development are acceptable uses of lands. The Land Use Policy Plan centers most future growth around the southwest and northwest areas of the city. The southwest area is the most optimal area for future development due to an ease of utilizing current available infrastructure according to the South West. The South West addressed university-impacted areas by promoting intensified development and increasing compatibility with surrounding residential areas. Osguthorpe said the current status of campus town, including the preponderance of highrise apartments, is due to previous conscious decisions by the city council to intensify development in campus town. The presentation on the South West was a prelude to a council meeting with developers on April 20.

What are you looking forward to eating over spring break?
Ten food tips for spring break
By Kelsey Bulat AmesEat Flavor Writer “I’m super excited to eat at Buckhorn Exchange in Denver, Colo. They are known for their unique meats — like kangaroo. This spring break I’m going wild with wild meats.” — Jessica Feenstra, senior
“My mother’s spicy Cajun chicken jambalaya, because there is nothing like Mom’s home cooked meals.” — Rob Bond, senior
“I’m staying in Ames over spring break, and my friend and I are planning on eating at Aunt Maude’s. I’ve never been [there] but have heard it’s good.” — Steph Spotts, junior
By Hanna Johanse AmesEat Flavor Writer As spring break nears, many college students are heading to warmer weather and sandy beaches to relax and soak up some rays. As if hotel and travel weren’t enough, adding food to the budget can be a major concern. Here are some tips that will save you a few extra bucks while you’re away. 1. Before you leave, check for coupons online. Restaurants.com is a great source that allows you to print coupons to a variety of restaurants and search for participating locations by city. Another good idea is to sign up for Entertainment Books, which is jam packed with restaurant discounts. 2. Look at all-inclusive packages. Lots of resorts and cruises offer this option, which could save you hundreds in food and drinks. 3. If you are flying, avoid airport food, it is over priced and often poorly made. Instead, carry snacks with you. This will not only save you cash, but calories as well. 4. Carry an empty water bottle. Airport security will confiscate full water bottles, but not empty ones. Not only will this save you money in the airport, but by bringing it everywhere you go you will avoid paying outrageous prices for bottled water. 5. If you are driving, bring a cooler. Fill it with ice, fruit, cold meat for sandwiches, drinks, etc. This will save you from stopping at fast food restaurants while traveling. Don’t forget napkins and the necessary utensils! Also,

6. Check to see if your hotel has continental breakfasts. If so, take full advantage. Grab an extra orange or apple for a snack later. If continental breakfast is not included, pack your own. Cereals, oatmeal, bagels and English muffins are all easy to pack and simple to prepare.
By Justine Mattiussi AmesEat Flavor Writer “Yes, I like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain.” Well if you enjoy pina coladas you may need to change into sweatpants and ditch the skimpy suit. Most mixes and even recipes I’ve researched are high in calories and saturated fat with no substance. Try an alternative that contains better ingredients, unique flavor and is more nutritious. Of course, this skinny pina colada should be enjoyed in moderation.
7. Save your leftovers. Most dinner servings are much larger than anyone needs. Save your extra food for the next day. If you do not have a refrigerator, use your ice bucket or cooler. 8. If you are staying for a more than a few days, ask your hotel if any of the rooms have a kitchen. Cooking your own meals is the best way to cut cost, no matter where you are traveling. Buy in bulk beforehand as much as possible. If you do not have room to pack food, hit up the nearest supermarket upon arrival.

9. Avoid eating near high-tourist locations. This food can cost twice as much as other areas. By walking just a couple blocks from the major attraction you can save major bucks.

10. Be thrifty, but enjoy all of the cultural food at your fingertips. Ask a local where the best places to eat are, they will know better than any guidebook. If you do not speak the local language or are too shy to ask, scout out a place with a long line. Usually these are places that are well known and must be worth the wait.

May the madness begin with strong Cyclone success It’s March, and we all know what that means: madness! For Iowa State, it begins at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in Kansas City’s Sprint Center with the men’s basketball team set to take on Texas. Now, we admit, it hasn’t all been sunshine and rainbows for the men this season — what with all of the injuries, suspensions and defections — but there couldn’t possibly be a better time to make a run than in the Big 12 Conference Tournament. Who says the Cyclones can’t take a little of their Hilton magic on the road with them to Kansas City? Who says the cardinal and gold can’t make an improbable, though still possible, run for the Big 12 title and break into the NCAA Tournament? The road will be difficult. The Cyclones will have to get big games from Craig Brackins and Marquis Gilstrap, they’ll have to get wins against sixth-seeded Texas in the first round and likely matchups against No. 22 Baylor, No. 9 Kansas State and No. 1 Kansas — in the championship game. The Cyclones were 1–6 against those teams in the regular season. The odds are against them, but we believe it can happen. We’re not afraid to dream. Of course, the women’s quest for the Big 12 Championship begins Friday night against the winner of the game between Oklahoma State and Kansas on Thursday night in Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City. At 23–6, Iowa State comes into the tournament as the No. 2 seed and has a legitimate shot at bringing home coach Bill Fennelly’s third conference championship in his 15th season at the helm. The “twister sisters” could have a couple of tough matchups lying ahead of them, too, with a possible game against Oklahoma State looming on Friday — the Cowgirls beat Iowa State 78–70 last week — and then Oklahoma. Iowa State topped the Sooners 63–56 back in January. The championship matchup would likely pit the Cyclones against No. 3 Nebraska, which Iowa State has lost to twice this season. But if Alison Lacey recovers from her current bout with a bronchial illness and the Cyclones can get continued production from All-Big 12 performers Denea Stuckey, Kelsey Bolte and Anna Prins — as well as Chelsea Poppens, who was mysteriously absent from postseason Big 12 honors [but that’s another editorial] — it could be a happy journey to Hilton South for the ISU faithful. We’ll go ahead and pencil them in on our bracket for a Big 12 Conference Championship. Hope you’ll do the same. Finally, all of this comes on the heels of the wrestling team’s second-place performance in the Big 12 Championships that were held last weekend. Yes, it snapped a streak of four-straight Big 12 Championships for the grapplers, but now is not the time for them to be winning. That all starts next week, with the NCAA Tournament. They will get it done. For now, we’ll set our sights on Kansas City. Our pencils are out, we’re warming up for our NCAA Tournament pool by filling out our Big 12 tournament brackets — or we would be, you know, if gambling were legal — and we’re ready for some excitement. May the madness begin.

Are big changes brewing in Des Moines? Dr. Schmidt argues a constitutional convention could spur the development of “Iowa 2.0,” a more efficient state government that could cut costs and generate significant reform. Courtesy photo: Thinkstockphotos.com
Changing the rules A
fter Iowa’s Supreme Court ruled a ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, many conservative politicians and churches demanded Iowa’s constitution be amended to prohibit gay marriage. The Iowa legislature has been controlled by a Democratic party majority and its leaders refused to allow a vote to eventually put an amendment on the ballot as has been done in many other states — all which passed — thereby banning gay marriage. Besides amending the constitution, there has been talk and a call for a Constitutional Convention to change the constitution. Stanford Levinson, professor in the department of government at the University of Texas, said, “A Constitutional Convention is a gathering for the purpose of writing a new constitution or revising an existing constitution. A general constitutional convention is called to create the first constitution of a political unit or to entirely replace an existing constitution. An unlimited Constitutional Convention is called to revise an existing constitution to the extent that it deems to be proper, whereas a limited Constitutional Convention is restricted to revising only the areas of the current constitution named in the convention’s call, the legal mandate establishing the convention.” There are many obstacles before this convention could be a reality. The first hurdle to overcome in holding a convention would be simply to define its scope. Obviously, Iowans may be so upset about politics and the state of things that they would approve a general convention in which a

brand new constitution would be written. And what would be the potential advantages of a general constitutional convention? For one, Iowans could directly target some of the big issues that have been discussed for years in the state as potential ways to modernize Iowa. Iowa became part of the United States after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. However, actual U.S. control over Iowa took place after the War of 1812 between the Unites States and the British Empire [mostly Canada]. It wasn’t until 1846 that Iowa became a State, and it was just over a decade later Iowa’s Constitution was written. The Preamble to Iowa’s 1857 Constitution reads as follows: “We the people of the State of Iowa, grateful to the Supreme Being for the blessings hitherto enjoyed, and feeling our dependence on Him for a continuation of those blessings, do ordain and establish a free and independent government, by the name of the State of Iowa.” Iowa was a frontier agricultural state, and horses and buggies were the primary means of transportation. Iowa was eventually divided into 99 counties each with a government [the county seat] so that farmers would have time to ride into town and back to their farm during daylight. The 99 counties are now considered to be too much in the
21st century, costing taxpayers a huge amount of money to maintain those 99 governments. Schools built in days past had to be small and close to where kids lived, but this is also too much for the current age. Iowa has many schools — too many according to some experts on government efficiency. Another discussion has centered on Iowa’s legislature. The Iowa Senate has 50 members. Each Senator represents a separate geographic area of the state — a district — with roughly 56,000 people. The Iowa House of Representatives has 100 members and each district contains roughly 28,000 people. In California there are 80 members in the Assembly — the “House” — with each district having a population of at least 420,000. So, in Iowa we need one House member for 28,000 people and in California that one member can represent 420,000. California has 40 state senators for a population of almost 37 million people but Iowa has 50 senators for only a population of 3 million. As a result of these disparities there has been discussion about the potential of reducing the number of members of the legislature in Iowa. There has even been talk of considering making Iowa the second state — Nebraska is the only one now — to have a unicameral
legislature with just one chamber. All of these changes, it has been suggested, would cut costs and make the legislature more effective and streamlined and less subject to multiple constituent pressure. Some analysts have also pointed out Iowa has more roads and small bridges per capita of any state. That’s because farming required many small sections that could be worked by animal power and, later, by small tractors. These same roads were needed to transport fertilizer and then bring on the crops. Today Iowa farming is done with gigantic machinery on huge farms and many have questioned the need and expense of the vast network of roads and bridges, which are very costly. A constitutional convention could address all of these issues and perhaps launch “Iowa 2.0.” This is something which can never be done simply by the legislature that would be pressured by every vested interest and, in fact, has not been able to implement many significant reforms over the forty years I have studied and written about Iowa government and politics. However, all kinds of other topics would surely be brought up at a convention were it to happen — hot-button issues such as: allow or prohibit gay marriage, do away with income taxes, make all abortions legal or ban them completely, make the death penalty legal, etc. It would be so high a risk for everybody that it’s likely that there will not be another constitutional convention in Iowa for the same reason why the United States has not had a Constitutional Convention since 1787 in Philadelphia.
Letters:
Hasenmiller’s opinion offensive Dear reader, Allow me, through this means of communication, to not overreact to the blatant disrespect of “ma peeps” and sweep it under the rug. Firstly, this rash and unwarranted reaction by the University of California — San Diego community should be completely ignored and made light of by Iowa State, which has approximately 7 percent minority enrollment. So we are truly honored by Blake Hasenmiller lending his expert opinion on such an indelicate matter. As an engineer, you articulated your foolishness very well, considering they are not known for their clarity in writing anything. I am particularly astonished at the fact that you were able to mass produce this ignorance under the ISU banner as some guise to comfort me. Shame on you, Blake. I am accustomed to the sheer racial insensitivity, please don’t confuse me now. I hope I can call you Blake, after the “overreacted article;” I feel close to you. So, it is with love when I say put down the keyboard
Kafa Burt and shut your mouth on matters that you can’t even begin to comprehend. I am totally disgusted with you, your article and this medium. The fact that you are able, and were allowed, to condone this purposeful hatred of racism and racial insensitivity is completely incomprehensible to me. It’s never okay for any group of people to make fun of or discriminate against another group base race, religion, etc. But it is even worse when an established and “esteemed” organization such as the Iowa State Daily — and by association Iowa State — would like for us to accept and ignore that type of behavior. I am embarrassed for the university because much more is expected. An apology and explanation is needed; this shall not go unnoticed. Now, I won’t even consider Iowa State as a candidate for my graduate studies and will make sure others don’t as well. Sincerely, one of the concerned seven percent.
Hand gun ban violates rights, subjects citizens to federal tyranny The Second Amendment is necessary for a free people to defend themselves from a tyrannical federal government. In 1794, George Washington imposed a whiskey tax on the people of Pennsylvania. The people of Pennsylvania were infuriated and refused to pay the tax, so Alexander Hamilton sent nearly 14,000 federal troops to extinguish the rebellion and exert the new power of the federal government for tax collecting. This is an example of federal government abuse over the states. You also have to keep in mind that the states considered themselves to be their own countries at that time, so invading them with federal troops was tyrannical. As far as the need for a federal ban on hand guns goes, it is unconstitutional because of the 10th Amendment, which Thomas Jefferson said is the most important, and that is: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively or to the people.”

Google Fiber venture offers Ames Internet opportunities Preconceived notions about people we know, misinterpretation of serious symptoms and the unpleasant social stigma of unintended pregnancy can culminate in tragedy. Vilsack argues education and support for young mothers can prevent serious harm. Courtesy photo: Thinkstockphotos.com
Reach out for resources
A
37-year-old mother of two, who has just started her pursuit of a Ph.D, approached me and said, “If you ever need anyone to go with you to a civic organization to talk about unintended pregnancy, I’d be willing to tell my story.” I had just finished announcing efforts to determine what nontraditional messages might work to educate 18- to 30-year-old women about new birth control options, how to access them and why it’s important to plan when and how often to have children. Tina’s message seemed pretty conventional at first: I didn’t talk about it then. I want to talk about it now. Maybe if I tell my story, this won’t happen to someone else. In fact, her story was surprisingly unconventional. This young woman, identified by the newspaper as one of the leaders in her community, was offering to talk publicly about a subject still taboo at lunches. Maybe if we openly talk about unintended pregnancy, we’ll send a clear message: We want you to be physically and emotionally healthy and strong. It’s your responsibility to ask your health care provider questions until you get the answers you need to prevent the chronic health problems that will plague Tina the rest of her life. She was a freshman in college, with lots of family baggage that left her feeling insecure. She became sexually active. When she started bleeding continuously for a month, she called her family doctor. He assured her women her age bleed this way on occasion, — not to worry, — but contact him when she came home for spring break if she was still having problems. A month later, when she started vomiting blood, she sought help at the emergency room in her college town, only to learn that a tubal pregnancy was close to erupting. She had

no idea that she was pregnant. Gangrene had set in and she could have died. The result of her unintended pregnancy was that she lost some of her reproductive organs and parts of other vital internal organs. Later she married, and is now a mother, but she’s plagued with chronic health problems because she didn’t have the information she needed to make informed decisions. Her parents, school and health care professional hadn’t prepared her the realities of leaving home — she might decide to have sex and, if she makes that decision, she should be prepared. Her doctor assumed that a collegeaged woman he had known was not having sex. Because of the stigma of pregnancy in the ’80s, her mother made up a story to tell friends and family in their small town about Tina’s intestinal “illness.” “Maybe I’m old enough to talk about it publicly now,” she said. She and her husband have talked about how they will share Tina’s story with their daughters, who will soon be old enough to hear and learn from it. None of us is too old or too young to talk about health issues. Pregnancy planning should be just as much a part of the health care discussions at the dinner table, in the legislature and in Congress as getting vaccinations, learning how to eat healthily to avoid diabetes or coughing into our sleeves to prevent the spread of the H1N1 flu. When I was ready to publish Tina’s story, I talked with her again to be sure she still felt okay with it. She did, but she needed to talk with her
mother to get some closure, because they’d never resolved the secrecy surrounding her pregnancy and emergency surgery. As it turns out, her mother is not ready. As a result, I changed the woman’s name to protect her mother’s privacy, but it also changes the point of telling her story. It’s no longer a story about shedding the stigma and shame of unintended pregnancy, but a story that highlights the ambivalence we feel about this issue. In this case, a woman of one generation wants to talk about it, but the other does not.
Google launched the Google Fiber for Communities Experiment on Feb. 10. With this experiment, Google will provide high-speed, 1,000 megabitsper-second, fiber-to-the-home Internet connections to select communities. The fiber internet connection would be 100 times faster than most Ames resident’s current connection. Google is asking for interested communities and community members to apply for the experiment, which Google will use to decide where to build the network. Over the past few weeks, the City of Ames and Government of the Student Body have been collaborating to apply for the Google Fiber for Communities Experiment. Along with the application, both entities are publicizing the experiment through Web sites and Facebook. Currently, both the City of Ames and GSB are working on the application along with short videos to promote Ames for Google Fiber. Ames would benefit greatly if the community was picked for the fiber experiment. Residents would have a significant increase to their Internet speed. Companies would also

be able to use the fiber, which will bring more business to Ames. Iowa State could use this technology to further research projects and inspire new research experiments. With all the current technology and people’s interest in new technology, we would be an excellent candidate for Google Fiber. What can you do to help? The first way you can help
is to nominate Ames for the experiment before the deadline of March 26. You can find how to apply on the Web site. Community support is also very important in Google’s decision. The Facebook page, “Ames Wants Google Fiber,” is a great way to show your support and spread the word. The page also has information about nominating Ames.

Repeat loss to Longhorns could end Cyclones’ season By Chris Cuellar Daily Staff Writer
Don’t blame coach Greg McDermott’s team if they’re confident and play ball with a chip on their shoulder when they take on the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday night in the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament. The Cyclones just took down the No. 5 team in the nation on the road, and they don’t feel an overabundance of pressure heading into a game that their No. 11 seed dictates they should lose. Texas was No. 1 when the two teams met on Jan. 13, and they have gone 7–8 since that point. McDermott got an uplifting of support from athletic director Jamie Pollard on Monday. Sitting at 4–12 in conference play, this Cyclone team has had a recent string of days that seems like it has had a winning record all along. “There’s no pressure on us, we just have to go in there and get it done,” said ISU leading scorer and

Texas was undefeated, and had just beaten Michigan State and North Carolina with strong bench play. Since that time, and with its sub-.500 record since, Texas has lost defenseminded point guard Dogus Balbay to injury and its lineup has been streamlined, eliminating a few players that were picking up minutes but not letting Texas necessarily get into a flow.

ISU Boxing Club packs a punch By Jeremiah Davis Daily Staff Writer To most people, the idea of standing toe to toe with someone and trading punches borders on insanity. But the guys and girls in the ISU Boxing Club live for it. The rush of adrenaline a boxer gets right before they enter the ring is unlike any other. “The anxiety you feel before your first fight is unreal,” said Joe Copley, junior in architecture and club president. “Before my first fight I couldn’t even finish my meal.” The members in the ISU Boxing Club — which at the moment numbers around 30 individuals — don’t have a lot of experience.“No one ever wants to lose, but there’s a lot of humility in boxing,” said Chad Harms, the faculty advisor,boxing coach and assistant professor of journalism and mass communication. “But win or lose, you develop a whole new level of confidence just by getting in the ring.” Copley echoed Harm’s statements and said every worry sort of vanished once the bell rang for the first round. “Once that bell rings you’re just thinking about the guy standing in front of you that wants to knock your head off,” Copley said. The coaches do what they can to prepare the boxers. Harms came on to coach and advise a few years ago, and coaches alongside the father of the modern ISU Boxing Club, Terry

Dowd. Dowd has been at Iowa State for 37 years, and hopes to stick around for three more before he officially retires. He’s coached 17 national champions, including Harms — who won in 1994. Before coaching at Iowa State, Dowd was an accomplished boxer himself and went 36–2 over his years boxing in the military. “I only lost twice,” Dowd said. “The one time I was disqualified
because I hit the guy while he was staggering around. The other one, I’d played football the night before, and I just wasn’t feeling it.” Dowd was an airborne sniper in the service, and served three tours in Vietnam. But what Dowd is most proud of is his impact at Iowa State. He and his wife have been a staple at Iowa State, and influenced a vast amount of students. “I’ve coached anywhere from
1,500 to 2,000 kids in my 37 years here,” Dowd said. “But my biggest thing is that every one of them has graduated. If you aren’t serious about your education, you might as well not even bother with us.” The boxing club requires any student who wants to join the club have a minimum 2.5 GPA. To compete at tournaments, boxers must have a 3.0 GPA.

Griner’s suspension
A Husker Story
Brittney Griner
The question of whether Iowa State will face Oklahoma State or Kansas in its first game of the Big 12 Conference Tournament is lingering, but an even bigger question is will No. 4 be putting on her jersey Friday in Kansas City, Mo.? Last week senior Alison Lacey came down with a bronchial illness, preventing her from walking just a few steps before losing her breath. In Iowa State’s final regular season game against Colorado, Lacey could barely utter the words to her teammates in the pregame huddle before becoming fatigued. As of Monday, coach Bill Fennelly said Lacey’s status is 50–50 for Iowa State’s first game of the tournament. While Lacey said after the Colorado game she is improving each day, Saturday was the first time Fennelly had seen her standing upright. “I would’ve told you last Friday afternoon no shot, wouldn’t even think about it,” Fennelly said. “She says she’s feeling better, she’s starting to get to the point where there’s a possibility she’s going to play, but we’re going to be smart about it.” Without No. 4 on the court, a guaranteed shot as the shot clock winds down is out of the picture and a true ball handler will be absent. Lacey’s teammates and Cyclone fans count on Lacey’s signature last second left-handed drive and layup after an offensive setup has fizzled. “It’s really different playing without her, and if we could choose we’d want to play with her either way, hands down,” said junior guard Kelsey Bolte. When Lacey is taken out of the picture, it’s not just up to sophomore Whitney Williams and senior Denae Stuckey to take the ball into their hands more, literally, but the entire team as a unit has to step up another notch. “Everybody, the fans and everybody who watches us to play they look for Aus [Lacey] to make the last shot when the clock is running down,” Stuckey said. “Well with her not playing we have to make up something, we have to make something happen without depending on her to make the last shot.” Lacey was recently named to the All-Big 12 first team, a unanimous selection and this year become the first Cyclone player to record 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists in a career. Fennelly hopes the Canberra, Australia, native will finish out her career the way an ISU-great should. “You hate to see someone who’s impacted our school and our team so much not be able to finish competing,” Fennelly said. “I’m hoping that happens and the good news is I think that no matter what happens this weekend, a week later she’ll have at least another week to get ready and hopefully get to play at Hilton.”
game. “It’s unfortunate for our league and it’s unfortunate for Brittney Griner, it’s unfortunate for Baylor but that decision was made by people a lot smarter than me,” Fennelly said in regards to Griner’s action.
Texas Tech’s Jordan Barncastle and was ejected from the game. Barncastle fouled Griner while she was fighting for position in the post, and after the whistle blew, Griner punched Barncastle with 9:01 to play in the game. A one-game suspension was mandated by the NCAA after an ejection in a game for Griner’s action. Baylor
coach Kim Mulkey instilled another one-game suspension, putting Griner out for the Bears’ Big 12 Conference Tournament opener. “I thought it was way too lenient of a punishment for the action that occurred,” Fennelly said. “But that’s my opinion and I would’ve handled it totally different. But obviously Baylor and the Big 12 felt that was appropriate and that’s what we’ll go with and if we see them, we see them.” Baylor lost to Texas on Saturday in the team’s final regular season game without Griner. The Bears fell 70–54 after allowing the Longhorns a 19–0 run to start the second half. Baylor faces off with Colorado 7:30 p.m. Thursday. If the Bears can surpass the Buffaloes without their starting center and go on to beat Oklahoma, Baylor could match up with Iowa State in the semifinals on Saturday. If the Cyclones and Bears advance to the semifinals, Griner would be back in the lineup for the
Nebraska is the team to beat in the Big 12 Conference Tournament, without question. The Huskers have maintained an undefeated 29–0 record and Fennelly argues they are the story of the season, aside from the obvious Connecticut women’s basketball team that won its 71st consecutive game — breaking the record previously set by the Huskies. The only two teams in the nation without losses this season are Connecticut and Nebraska, and the Huskers have played in arguably one of the toughest Big 12 schedules in a long time. “They’re a team unlike most teams across the country, they can play slow, they can play fast,” Fennelly said, “All that stuff combined has made them a great story and certainly a story that is one that no one anticipated.” What makes Nebraska the ‘perfect storm’ as Fennelly called it earlier in the season, is in Big 12 Player of the Year Kelsey Griffin, along with the other five seniors. Griffin averaged 20.4 points per game and 10.4 rebounds per game and leads the Big 12 with 17 double-doubles and ranks second in field goal percentage. “I think it’s a combination of a fifth year senior that’s playing like an All-American in Kelsey Griffin, a bunch of other seniors that last year got a lot of playing time in critical situations that now they can not have to be the person,” Fennelly said. “It’s a team that has Kelsey Griffin played five and Photo: Orlin Wagner/ six seniors most The Associated Press of the time, a freshman point guard [Lindsey Moore] that was the perfect fit at the first time.” Lindsey Moore stepped into the point guard position this season for Nebraska and averaged 5.7 points per game and 4.34 assists. Although Nebraska has proven to be the top team in the conference, beating each Big 12 foe in regular season, the other six top teams could give the Huskers a run for their money. “I don’t think they’re head and shoulders above anyone by any stretch,” Fennelly said. “I don’t think anyone is going into the tournament feeling like it’s a mismatch like UConn is in the Big East tournament.”
Swimming and Diving
Women’s team breaks records By Kasey Sutherland Daily Staff Writer The women’s swimming and diving team has nearly put the finishing touches on the 2009–2010 swimming season after completing the Big 12 Championships at the end of February. The Cyclones had a stellar performance from senior swimmer Nan Liu — the only swimmer able to qualify for the NCAA Championships from March 18–20 in West Lafayette, Ind. Liu missed out on the finals for the 200-yard backstroke, but managed to win the consolation race to finish ninth overall with a new school record time of 1:57.45. The time stands as an NCAA B-cut that qualifies her for the championships. Freshman Dani Harris also had a great showing in her first Big 12 Championships, finishing fourth in the consolation of the 200-yard backstroke. Both Liu and Harris had times of less than two minutes in the event, making them only the third and fourth Cyclone swimmers to do so. Junior Jeli Nixt added another school record to the pile with her performance in the 200-yard breaststroke, as she won the consolation final in the event. The third school record of the meet came in the 400-yard freestyle relay. The senior relay squad of Liu, Abby Glaser, Lindsey Beh-

Pitcher tears elbow ligament
Iowa State announced its schedule for the 2010 spring exhibition season. The Cyclones’ home tournament on Mar. 27 will be held at the West Towne Courts (near the Sukup Basketball Complex).
By Dave Campbell AP Sports Writer
Complete Spring Schedule
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins suddenly have a glaring concern about closing games for the first time since Joe Nathan took over in 2004. Tests on Nathan’s right throwing elbow have revealed a significant tear in the ulnar collateral ligament, an injury that could require season-ending Tommy John surgery. Nathan’s 246 saves over six seasons are the most in the majors during that span. The Twins shared the grim news on Tuesday in Fort Myers, Fla., before their exhibition game against the St. Louis Cardinals. General manager Bill Smith said the plan is to first give Nathan time to let soreness and swelling subside, and build strength in the muscles around the joint, before a final decision about surgery. In the meantime, a second opinion will be sought from Dr.
James Andrews, the noted surgeon who removed bone spurs and chips from the elbow in October. The ulnar collateral ligament is replaced in the Tommy John procedure, which typically takes 12 to 18 months to recover from. Nathan will try to pitch again in two weeks. If he can’t, the four-time All-Star will have surgery. His season then would almost certainly be over, perhaps putting his status for next year in question, too. “If I’m able to go out there and throw, then I’ll definitely give it a shot,” Nathan told reporters in Fort Myers. “The only reason that I would get a surgery done is if I’m just unable to go out there.” It is possible to pitch through the injury. But if his elbow hurts like it did on Saturday, when he first felt discomfort and was removed from an exhibition game against Boston? “Then there’s just no chance,” Nathan said.

Missing Staiger and forward Jamie Vanderbeken meant struggles for the Cyclones, who were counting on the two highpercentage shooters to help carry the load. Brackins and senior forward Marquis Gilstrap are combining for 43 percent of Iowa State’s points, and almost 47 percent of the team’s rebounds. “I really believe that the plan that we had in place and the team we had in place at the beginning of the year I really believe we would have accomplished our goals,” McDermott said.

who have been able to qualify for NCAA Zone-D Diving Championships. Tran has a strong chance of qualifying for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships this weekend at Texas A&M as she tries to join Liu as a Cyclone qualifier. Liu will compete in the 50 freestyle, 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke to become the first Cyclone to qualify for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships since 2007. The women’s swimming and diving teams will finish the season with an overall
record of 8–4 and 0–3 in Big 12 competition. The season hasn’t been without bright spots with the help of numerous new school records and the hopes of additional NCAA qualifiers who could join Liu this weekend. The rest of the Cyclone swimmers will cheer Tran and junior Abby Christensen on this weekend as they hope to become two of the 10 women who will qualify for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. This will be Christensen’s first appearance at an NCAA Zone meet.

James’ affection for double-doubles. ISU center Justin Hamilton will be in charge of controlling Pittman, who is listed as 6-foot10-inches and 290 pounds. Pittman’s minutes can be cut with his tendency for foul trouble, but with performances like the 23 points and 15 rebounds he logged against North Carolina, Hamilton will need to keep up his form to hold him to the six points and eight rebounds he was able to muster Jan. 13. “I feel like we played pretty well against him last time, we just have to all work together,” Hamilton said. “He’s a big guy and we just got to make sure we limit his touches.” James has only been held in single digit points three times all season, and has been one of the few constants in the Longhorn rotation. A senior with leadership skills and solid numbers to back it up, he’s caught the attention of a junior team leader in cardinal and gold. “I figure we guard him the same way. Last game [James] hit some shots and he was feeling it, we just need to make him uncomfortable,” Brackins said.
“We’re still working hard, that’s how we’ve always been, and we’re just as confident as any other game.” McDermott is well aware of the all-around presence James brings to the Longhorns — he is able to pound the ball inside and rebound more than his 6-foot-7 inch frame would indicate, but also pop three pointers. “We need to defend him
better,” McDermott said . “I just think the critical piece in the game is to get those guys off the backboards. [James] and Pittman and Gary Johnson are so aggressive going to the offensive glass, and I think that’s where they can really turn the tables on you if you allow that to happen.” Iowa State hasn’t won in the Big 12 Conference Tournament since 2005, and McDermott is 0–4 against Texas coach Rick Barnes. The Cyclones are confident that concrete facts are broken like McDermott’s 0–21 record against ranked teams before Saturday. In what could plausibly be Brackins and Gilstrap’s last game as wearing the ISU uniform, they’re ready to play until another team forcibly sends them back to Ames. “We’re feeling good after that big win on Saturday. We had a good practice, and we’ll be ready to roll on Wednesday,” guard Scott Christopherson said. The No. 6 versus No. 11 seed game in the Big 12 Conference Tournament will take place Wednesday at the Sprint Center, the winner will play Baylor at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

“These kids are students first,” Harms said. “They know how serious we are about it, and we don’t really ever have any problems.” The majority of club members aren’t in it to fight competitively. Harms said that nearly 80 percent are there simply to get the workout, hit the bag and occasionally spar. “I think that’s a big misconception,” Copley said. “You don’t have to fight if you join. You can just come and work out with us.” Those that do fight in tournaments and spend the season preparing for the regional and national tournaments do so under the rulebook of the National Collegiate Boxing Association. The NCBA has three regions — East, Midwest and West. Iowa State is in the Midwest region.“The closest region opponent is the University of Kentucky,” Harms said. “So we usually don’t get a chance to do NCBA tournaments until regionals.” Each of the regions include one of the military academies, which according to Harms, have always had the most accomplished and experience collegiate boxers. “The guys we take to regionals might have one or two fights,” Harms said. “But they might be going up against a kid from the Naval academy with 12.”

To supplement the lack of NCBA tournaments, the boxers fight at local shows in Iowa, and sometimes take part in Iowa Golden Gloves. “Outside of college events, the kids are allowed 10 fights,” Harms said. “Any more and you aren’t eligible for regionals.” Right now Harms only has one boxer preparing for regionals. Nick Mann, a junior in construction engineering, has two fights under his belt, and Harms thinks he’s ready. “He’s got the right mindset,” Harms said. “He’ll definitely be ready.” Mann got into boxing after watching his dad and grandfather as a kid. “I wasn’t going to make the football team, so I figured, ‘Why not?’” Mann said. “But seriously, I heard the stories and wanted to give it a shot myself.” Regionals are March 19–20 in Morgantown, W. Va., and under the NCBA rules, the fights consist of three twominute rounds. In the interest of safety, there are no knockouts, rather the referee will stop the fight before things go too far. Until the night of his fight at regionals, Mann will continue to work hard under the direction of Harms and Dowd. He can’t wait just to get in the ring and let everything else melt away. “Once I’m in that ring, everything else disappears,” Mann said. “When the bell rings, I’ll be ready to go.”

Umbrella Group a viable organization. Peterson said she is going to try and make it so it is written in the GSB bylaws that GSB members must serve on the organization. “The [group] brings together small organizations to create a big message,” Peterson said. The organization needs to stay alive in order to spread the word of sustainability on campus, she said. Peterson also had some goals in Campustown to complete before she leaves for Greece. “I want to make sure everything I accomplished doesn’t just die,” Peterson said. Peterson also said she will be making sure the groups’ constitution and bylaws are complete before she leaves. Peterson said she is still planning on launching a “keep Campustown clean” campaign, and putting up the banners that were funded by the Ames City Council. Peterson also mentioned she is still working to complete the project, which will result in a mural on the side of T-Galaxy, 206 Welch Ave. “I don’t need to keep planning out projects if the groups that are set up have the longevity they need to survive,” Peterson said. Peterson said she wants to continue with the Varsity Theater Project if it is passed through the Board of Regents. Peterson said a lot of the people who created the project, such as GSB Finance Director Tom Danielson, will be graduating at the end of this year and she wants them to know that the project will be taken care of after they leave. “Sometimes it is hard to finish things up. When the graduation date comes, we can’t stay here forever. Part of the process is mentoring younger leaders,” Peterson said.

MOSMAN from PAGE1
when she and Florzak were named to the 2010 Big 12 AllAcademic First Team earlier in March. Mosman also currently serves as the vice president for the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and has been a member since 2007. She has been involved in numerous community service activities, volunteering for the United Way of Caring and a Des Moines homeless shelter, helping to raise more than $10,000 for the MS Walk in the last three years and annually participating in Iowa State’s Dance Marathon, a fundraiser for the Children’s Miracle Network and University of Iowa Children’s Hospital. In addition to her busy schedule of athletics, academics and community service, she also finds time to make regular trips to area elementary schools to read to students. Her outstanding record in the classroom and with the community earned her a spot in this year’s Chick-fil-A Winter Community of Champions. “She’s one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met,” Fennelly said. “She embraced the opportunity to be a scholarship student athlete and has really impacted the university. Even if it’s not on the court, she has always understood how using a college education can further her lifelong dreams, and that’s exactly what she’s done.” On top of all of the contributions she has made in her time at Iowa State, Mosman is also engaged to former Cyclone basketball player and fellow Carroll native Sean Haluska. Haluska proposed to Mosman on the Hilton Coliseum court last year, and the two are scheduled to marry in Carroll on July 17. Among all of other things on her piled up on her plate, she has made weekend trips back to her hometown this season to house shop and prepare for her wedding and life after college. “It’s a totally different kind of stress,” Mosman said. “The past four years, I’ve had to juggle a lot more because of academics, but now I have to look more to my future, because life after basketball is right around the corner. It’s stressful, trying to get all of that ready to go with basketball still going on, but everything is very exciting right now.” While it might not have been the glorious career she may have imagined, Mosman will still leave behind a legacy of being the program’s shining example of a humanitarian. She has helped show that a college athlete doesn’t need to score 20 points per game or make season-altering plays to make a difference in peoples’ lives. “Without her, this is certainly a team that doesn’t understand or appreciate as much what it means to play here,” Fennelly said. “It would be a team that doesn’t realize the value of things off the court or the impact that you came make on other people on a daily basis, and how that should be a part of your responsibility as a studentathlete.” The things that she has done for the university and community have gone largely unnoticed by most of the general public, but those around her have realized just how important she has been to Iowa State and the City of Ames. And the basketball program is in a much better place because of it.
