Calling himself a Vatican assassin warlock with tiger blood and Adonis DNA, Charlie Sheen sounds like something of a superhero. So it’s not surprising that the actor’s life is being turned into a comic book. “Infamous: Charlie Sheen,” from Bluewater Productions, will track the actor’s career path up to his current public outbursts, and will also depict his battle with drugs and alcohol. “Doing a book about Charlie Sheen is different from most bio comics in that the news is literally happening as we speak,” said Mark Shapiro, who is writing the 32-page comic book. “This is when comic book writing is more like journalism.”

Jordan Knight to Bieber: Don’t think you’re God Who better to offer Justin Bieber career advice than Jordan Knight? The singer was barely older than the Bieber when he ruled the charts as part of New Kids on the Block. “I would say have a lot of fun with it,” Knight told PopEater of 17-year-old Bieber’s current superstar status. However, Knight warns not to let superstardom go to his head. “Don’t let all the fans really make you think that you’re God,” Knight said. “Just try to stay even-keeled and know who you are.”

Editorial

Where does reality end? Reality television. Whether you like it or not, it is out there and it is making the big bucks. Everyone is looking for their 15 minutes of fame, so some producers are more than happy to use and abuse the personal lives of nearly anyone from any walk of life in order to fulfill their desire for stardom and to line their own pockets. This desire to be noticed is nothing new, but the degree to which folks are finding modicum of success thanks to the interconnectivity granted through social media, compounded with the instant and repeat viewability of previews or clips of a TV show — and even the entire show itself — has truly turned the world into a stage. The question then must be begged whether this constant pseudo-life in the spotlight has altered the means by which a person presents themselves day to day. The images seen in advertisements and TV shape our decisions, of this there is little doubt. Consider now the possibility for over-the-top adherence to an image in order to “sell” yourself to the public to gain that viral video infamy. The slew of reality TV auditions carry a distinct appeal for those of college age, and with that appeal comes the plotting of how “best” to present yourself in order to be picked up for the show. Think about this for a moment: If people are altering their personality and image in order increase the chance of being noticed at these auditions — which is very likely — then how skewed must their personality become once they do land a starring role playing “themselves”? Those very people that allow the public to view their personal lives are already no longer a part of “reality”; the scenes tend to have a base script, the cast is fully aware they are under scrutiny from the public and producers that decide whether this chance at fame and fortune continues. This is not reality. This is a pseudo-event. There is nothing wrong with staged events, so long as people realize that the spontaneity of it all is hardly an off-the-cuff occurrence. Now realize that those same would-be stars that did not make the cut are likely going to continue to desire to be a star, and possibly audition again for some show or another. Do you think they are going to stop honing their “best” image of themselves, or do you think they will see who was picked and change themselves in order to be “better”? Between the would-be stars, the arm-chair critics, the casual viewers and the actual cast of these reality shows, where are people actually being “themselves”? Where does the line between the public and the private begin or end? The real question is: Is real life only as real as the “reality” we are presented with in the media and if so, is there really any difference any more between public and private life?

Protest

Students fight for education By Taysha.Murtaugh iowastatedaily.com

Protesters gather at Capitol to voice concerns

didn’t go to any of my classes Monday. I skipped the two classes in which I have tests Friday to go to Des Moines. No, I wasn’t hungover, and I didn’t play hooky to hit Jordan Creek Town Center. Instead, at 10 a.m., I boarded a school bus at the Memorial Union and headed for the State Capitol. About 90 other ISU students did the same. Together with students from the University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa, we totaled more than 300 students who gathered to protest budget cuts to the universities. The atmosphere at the capitol was interesting. Students, mostly ambassadors or members of each school’s student government, buzzed about, wearing buttons that read, “STOP THE CUTS,” and attempting to lobby the

legislatures. The event sort of resembled a career fair, as most students dressed to impress, wearing suits or pencil skirts. The students could be associated with their respective colleges by the color of their clothes or buttons: ISU students wore cardinal red; UNI, purple; Iowa, yellow. However, colors were the only way to distinguish the normally rival colleges. Whatever hard feelings the students had for each other were left at the door; we were in this one together. The cuts to the universities could affect the programs, class sizes and enrollment, faculty and tuition at all three schools, after all. However, not every student came to protest the cuts. ISU College Republicans came to support the cuts or protest the protesters, holding signs that sang, “Trim the fat!” and, “You can’t spend money you don’t have!” Maneuvering through the crowd that day to gather opinions and snap photos, I noticed a lot of faces too young to protest, with little bodies

I would expect to be sitting in desks at 2 p.m. The dozens of elementary school children I saw weren’t playing hooky either. They were on a class field trip to the State Capitol, which just happened to coincide with the big kids’ protest. A group of little boys noticed my ISU T-shirt. Half of them cheered, half of them hissed and shouted “Go Iowa.” At such a young age, these kids have already formed an opinion about Iowa universities. I would venture that a majority of them will end up attending Iowa State, Iowa or UNI one day. Watching their little faces look up in awe at the dome of the Capitol overhead, I wondered how different the three universities will be when they go to college. Will they receive the same quality of education? The same reasonable class sizes, the same qualified professors and the same array of programs from which to choose? One floor up, their seniors were on a field trip of their own to make certain they do.

Voices from the crowd at the Iowa State Capitol I‘m pretty pleased to see the number of students who came out. You can feel the energy and the adrenaline people are bringing to the capitol ... I’m graduating in May, so even our graduating team is working to make sure that these cuts, if they do happen, are as minimal as possible. Obviously I think they could drastically impact our universities. I think they would harm the quality of education that we receive; I think they would lead to fewer classes offered, larger class sizes, faculty members leaving, administrators leaving in hopes of finding higher-paying jobs elsewhere. I think it’s pretty unfortunate that we have to try and convince law-makers. I actually take offense that we have to talk about the value of public education, because it seems like it’s always been valued in Iowa. To see us be drastically cut the way that we have and hear that Iowa, of all 50 states, is about third in terms of most cuts is an unfortunate reality, but we’re trying to reverse that. John Rigby, president of the University of Iowa Student Government

A big selling point of our school is that all of our class sizes are manageable and we’re taught by professors, rather than grad assistants or TAs ... so if we make those cuts, it’s going to drive those people from out of state away, and for people in state, it’s not going to be as appealing to come to UNI. Derek Boeding, UNI Student Admissions Ambassadors We’re here to protest and oppose the hypocrisy of Iowa State to come here and complain about budget cuts when they’re spending money on things like compacting trash cans. The solar-powered trash compactors cost $48,000 for 11 of them. The administration of the university takes in 12 percent of the budget; we built two brand new buildings in the past year and a half or so. In a budget crunch like now that’s not responsible spending, and it’s extremely hypocritical that we come here and complain to the state, who’s doing something responsible by cutting the budget, in a time when we don’t have any money to spend. Kyle Etzel, ISU freshman in aerospace

engineering and member of ISU College Republicans: We arrived here at 10:30 [a.m.] and we haven’t even really had a chance to talk to anyone, because they’re in session. But they sit in the gallery and they don’t really do anything so it’s hard to talk to them, and it’s already almost 2 [p.m.]. I’m kind of disappointed in this whole thing. I’m an international student [from Russia] and my government runs a totally different way, and I would say it’s more efficient in some ways. Maybe those people are working, but it doesn’t really look like it. I know that if we would cut what they spend for the days that they’re not here and ... get paid for it, we would save about $1 million.

Letter

Bohl’s take on equal opportunity is flawed I am writing to address concerns with Mr. Bohl’s arguments advanced in his article published on March 3 “Be a man, our culture will value you less.” First, Mr. Bohl addressed his concern there is a dearth of “men’s study courses” that engage in meaningful discussion about “men and gender.” While this may in fact be true, I wanted to suggest a possibility of why that might be. First of all, men do not come from a historically oppressed group. Women did not become regularly educated at the college level until the 1960s, and even now, in many classes taught at the college level, men wrote the majority of the work discussed. On almost every college campus, students enjoy the ability to take a Shakespeare class or to study other classical works written by men; women’s studies provides interested parties with the opportunity to explore works that may have received little notice in college courses until the last half century. Furthermore, Mr. Bohl ties this lack of available classes to an unrelated conclusion; that young men are among the least valued members of society. However, a more analogous situation would be the fact that there are no “white racial study courses” at Iowa State. The conclusion does not then follow that, because there are critical race theory courses, black people are more valued than white

Laura Wazny, J.D. candidate, University of Iowa College of Law people in society. There is a serious disconnect between the legitimate concern that there should be classes more relevant to men’s concerns about their changing role in society and Mr. Bohl’s conclusion that men are somehow less “valued” by society. Secondly, Mr. Bohl accurately noted that men lose their lives in non-military related positions at a higher rate than female workers in the United States. However, there is no connection between that fact and the idea that “young men” are the most “disposable” people in American society. Just because women are “equal under the law” does not suggest that women are somehow physically capable of performing the same feats of strength as men or have equal physical abilities. Furthermore, while it maybe true that 93 percent of non-military workplace deaths fall upon men, that may be due to the requirements of the job. For example, it is legal for states to implement a bona fide occupational qualification where only men can be hired for “high risk” positions, such as security guards in maximum-security prisons. Without further data

giving context to the information, this statistic reveals very little. It is not that “young men” are “disposable” or less valued by society. In fact, that assertion is completely at odds with the millions of dollars that Americans donate to support our male-dominated troops and the billions of dollars the U.S. government spends to keep our troops safe. In fact, the Obama administration proposed a budget of $159.3 billion for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars for fiscal year 2011. This demonstrates not indifference to the sacrifices of our heavily male troops, but rather the full support of the country. Finally, when discussing equal opportunity, we must first approach the threshold question of what sort of advantages one person has over another. In the case of “gender roles,” men have the advantage of history. To somehow draw the conclusion that women should be grateful that they make less money than men for performing the exact same work because women are more “valued” in society is a straw man argument. In fact, pay scales suggest that men are “valued” in society at a rate 23 percent higher than women. To suggest that there is a connection between the two miscasts the argument and does a disservice to the readers of the Iowa State Daily.

Budget

Take matters into your own hands, lobbying does nothing By Cameron.Leehey iowastatedaily.com

t is 10 a.m. Monday. The bus pulls away from the Memorial Union, and I ďŹ nd myself wondering what I expect to accomplish at the State Capitol. From a pool of tens of thousands, less than two busloads of ISU students are in attendance as we set off to Des Moines to protest the latest round of proposed education spending cuts. Hoping to reach the critical mass necessary to garner the attention of the public by means of a compelling image in the press, we are all wearing red and gold. Upon arriving, I ďŹ nd Sen. Herman Quirmbach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a Democrat who represents Ames and the surrounding areas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; eating lunch on the ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor. I ask if I may join him, he obliges. Having met and spoken with Quirmbach previously, I already know him to be a straightforward realist and, deeming his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and doctorate in economics from Princeton to be sufficient assurances of expertise, I ask him: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been said that these budget cuts will not affect the cost of tuition, is that true?â&#x20AC;? Without equivocation, Quirmbach informs me that the proposed cut of 6 percent to the ISU budget will correspond with a 12 percent increase in tuition. He tells me that the legislature has the ability to avoid cutting education funding, avoid tax hikes and balance the budget.

The reason, he said plainly, behind the proposed reductions to all education funding in the state of Iowa is to afford greater corporate tax cuts. A ďŹ&#x201A;oor above us, a group of Republican loyalists are gathered in protest of our protest, waving portraits of Ronald Reagan and signs reading â&#x20AC;&#x153;WWRD,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bipartisanship LOLâ&#x20AC;? and a handful of slogans deriding us for using GSB funds to ďŹ nance our transportation to Des Moines. Despite the attack being levied against us for our civic participation, we manage to remain disengaged from them. I am thankful that those in our group refrain from arguing with the loyalists, keeping the groupthink image of the partisans at armâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s length from our cause. Branching out individually, some of us roam the building searching for proponents of the education spending cuts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republican House and Senate members from our hometowns â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so that we as their constituents can hold them personally accountable. Neither I, nor anyone I know of, are able to track down a single Republican senator or representative; they evade us completely. As executive members of the student governments of Iowa State, University of Iowa and University of Northern Iowa take turns eloquently elucidating the various long- and shortterm consequences of these proposed spending

cuts in education, I fear we have already lost. The articulations of the student speakers echo off the marble surfaces of the capitol and fall to silence; when we leave, our message leaves with us, unheard and unheeded. What good are our protests, I wonder, when those at whom they are aimed refuse to listen to us? Those pressing for cuts in education funding have no reason to believe our votes are at stake, as we appear to be nothing more than a wad of people. On the ride back to Ames, I cannot point to any accomplishment of the day, no footing gained for our cause. It dawns on me. These elected officials can dismiss a student group that appears for a few hours on a single day, and they can effectively avoid us, but a large part of their job consists of listening to our concerns as individuals. This has to be a task accomplished without a rallying cry. For our representatives in the legislature to take our collective concern seriously, we must approach them as individuals and demonstrate that our vote is cast with this issue heavily in mind. A group can be dismissed at once; individuals must be dismissed one at a time. If our representatives choose to ignore us one by one, they must face the fact that they are

sending future votes to a political rival, one at a time. We can amplify our will in the aggregate by taking matters into our own hands.

Iowa State must ďŹ nd innovative ways to save money event. In an article written Monday, Rick Hanton stated that it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not a partisan issue until Mr. Pals made it one.â&#x20AC;? In truth this became a partisan issue with original e-mail sent out by the director of the ISU Ambassadors, who are suppose to be acting in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-partisan manner,â&#x20AC;? or at least that is what it says on their website. I want to reiterate, this is not an issue of Republicans vs. Democrats, it is the fact that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-partisanâ&#x20AC;? university organization is taking a side in a partisan issue.

The legislature does not set our tuition price; that is the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job. Rick also asked why they do not raise taxes more and that he would not mind more taxes.

I want to begin by thanking the university for bringing to light the concerns of the budget cuts; I want to also thank the ISU College Republicans for stepping up and giving both sides of the issue a voice. As some know, students from Iowa State were sent to Des Moines to lobby the legislators to â&#x20AC;&#x153;stop the cuts.â&#x20AC;? What everyone is probably unaware of is the other side of this partisan issue. And yes, it is a partisan issue. Partisan is taking a side on an issue. It does not matter what side you take, partisan is merely showing bias. And that is what the selfacclaimed â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-partisanâ&#x20AC;? ISU Ambassadors did with this

effect of them, but I highly encourage you send whatever you think is your â&#x20AC;&#x153;fair shareâ&#x20AC;? into the IRS. I am sure they will be happy to have your check. Rick also wants me to stop â&#x20AC;&#x153;yellingâ&#x20AC;? about the partisanship of the issue and realize the Ambassadorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the administration are only trying to support the affordability of this university. If this is the case then, why is the university wasting money in so many ways? $300,000 was spent to establish a rental book program and $50,000 for 11 solar powered trash compactors, in which we are planning on spending an additional $150,000 in the upcoming years.

We are living in tough times, and everyone knows it. We cannot withstand additional debt. Our country is broke and the $14 billion debt is proof. Every family in the country is ďŹ nding ways to save money and it is about time the university does the same.

Bringing the blues back Singer E.C. Scott takes act to Maintenance Shop, works to keep genre alive By Dylan Boyle Ames247 Writer E.C. Scott isn’t invested in just keeping the blues alive, but also promoting the future of the blues and continuing to perform the music that was once taboo. Scott, a professional blues singer for more than 30 years and host of the TV show “EC’s Jook Joint,” will perform Thursday at the Maintenance Shop. Scott was born and raised in Oakland, Calif., and started singing at an early age in church choirs and at school. By the time she was 11, she led the church choir and was singing on Sunday gospel radio shows. Although music was a big part of her life from an early age, finding the blues wasn’t an easy task. “My godfather’s advice was to stay away from the blues,” Scott said. “It was quite taboo listening to it coming up as a kid because we had one stereo and you weren’t allowed to touch it because my mom would have it on her religious programs. So it was definitely a shocker for me to enjoy blues when it was kept so far away from me.” Eventually, her godfather, who was a piano player, suggested she start to find other musicians her age to play with and start working her way into the music business. With her background in gospel and interest in R&B as well as blues, Scott describes her sound as being like gumbo — “it’s a lot of different things in there that creates this wonderful taste.” After filming a music video some years ago, Scott realized there

So, instead of waiting for an outlet, she made her own. Scott hosts and produces “EC’s Jook Joint,” a TV program on more than 256 stations that shows blues music videos. “We’ve never had a blues video show and this gives every artist in the blues industry a chance to be seen on television,” she said. Along with showing videos, Scott also gives grants to musicians by producing videos for them in order to help them promote their music. In the process of creating the show and producing videos, Scott has made a career out of her love for music. “I don’t think that there was ever a time in my life where I didn’t want to be a singer,” she said. “I am actually living my childhood dream.”

Kansas State finds last laugh in tournament By David.Merrill iowastatedaily.com

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Iowa State’s Big 12 tournament run came to an end Wednesday. Iowa State put together a late rally against Kansas State, but fell just short, losing 56-53.

game, she showed the fans and her team exactly why. She rattled off eight straight points including two straight 3-pointers that brought the score to 49-42 with 5:27 remaining. “When you see a kid in this environment, as a freshman, bring our team back almost single handedly, that says a lot about her,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “She is a very calm person, she doesn’t get rattled. She certainly hit some big shots and gave our kids some energy.” Kansas State would answer with a 3-pointer, but the Cyclones kept battling back. Christofferson converted a la-

The teams traded baskets and then Mansfield came up with a steal to give the Cyclones a chance for a shot with 12 seconds to go. Junior guard Chassidy Cole got off an open 3-point shot that rimmed off, then Mansfield grabbed the rebound and found Bolte behind the 3-point line.

Season comes to conclusion

Colorado finds revenge against Iowa State By Chris.Cuellar iowastatedaily.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It all seemed too simple of a conclusion to Iowa State’s season. The Cyclones (1616) dropped their firstround game in the Big 12 Tournament to Colorado Vanderbeken on Wednesday, 77-75, giving up a late lead like so many times before. The Buffaloes (20-12) ended the game on a 13-5 run after being down 7064 with just three minutes to play, and Iowa Godfrey State could just watch as its season ended. “We played pretty well through the first 38 minutes,” said ISU senior guard Diante Garrett. “Then Alec Burks put on a show, he made some plays in the clutch. They battled to come back, those last two minutes; we want those back.” Iowa State was led by strong senior efforts from guys that just didn’t want their careers to end. Jake Anderson had a career-high 33 points and Garrett added 19, as no other Cyclones scored in double-digits. “We executed well, but they out-rebounded us. That hurt, they got secondchance points, it could have been a lot of things,” said senior forward Jamie Vanderbeken. “When Jake’s playing like he was today, it’s really hard for us to be stopped. I shot the ball horribly, thought I let the team down.” Unfortunately for the elder Cyclones, Colorado had guard Alec Burks, and he chose the Big 12 Tournament as his platform to garner talk for the NBA Draft, scoring 29 points and grabbed 15 rebounds and had six assists.

Burks scored seven points in the last three minutes of the game. “He’s big time,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. “Thought he was a lottery pick before the game. I still think that.”

The loss added just another game to the list full of them that Iowa State has let slip away. Shots that looked in, fell out. Shots by the other team that looked impossible to make that found the bottom of the net.

Men, women suffer similar tourney fates By Jeremiah.Davis iowastatedaily.com KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two Cyclone teams played games Wednesday, and two Cyclone teams lost the same way. Both the ISU men’s and women’s basketball teams played close games in their respective Big 12 Tournament contests, with the women falling to Kansas State Hoiberg 56-53 and the men losing to Colorado 77-75. While both games were decided in the final seconds, how they got there was just a little different. The women trailed the entire way, and were even down 11 at one point to a team they beat twice in the regular season before comFennelly ing within a Kelsey Bolte forced 3-pointer from extending the game. The men had six ties and 16 lead changes with Colorado before failing to pull out a close one yet again. Both losses were disheartening, but more so for the men than the women. For coach Fred Hoiberg, the loss likely means the end of his first season at the helm of his Alma Mater because with a 16-16 overall record and only three wins in conference play, it is highly unlikely the Cyclones see postseason play. The third edition of Iowa State vs. Colorado, though, is the nail in the coffin for the ISU men. The theme of the Big 12 season was not being able to close out games, and that theme was perfectly represented Wednesday. To put it simply, one word sums up what this season has been for the Cyclones: frustrating. For players such as Jake Anderson and Jamie Vanderbeken, whose pro prospects aren’t as bright as maybe Diante Garrett’s are, this might be the last chance they get to play a meaningful game. Now they get to, presumably, head back to Iowa State to finish their senior years of college and watch March Madness from their couches. Coach Bill Fennelly, on the other hand, likely will have an NCAA tournament to prepare for. “I think if you look at our numbers, we probably are a team that should be considered,” Fennelly said. “We’ve done what we can do now. We’ll wait until next Monday and hopefully our name will come up. If not, we didn’t do enough.” Fennelly’s team hasn’t had what could be described as a great game since its demolition of Kansas at home March 1, when it won 72-36. Since then, the women lost to Missouri on the road, a team that ended up as the No. 10 seed for the Big 12 Tournament, and scraped past last-place Nebraska for the opening round win in the tournament. A loss to a team the Cyclones had already beaten twice can’t leave a good taste in their mouths heading into the NCAA tournament. But as was probably predicted by many, the focus for the two teams from Ames who played Wednesday now shifts to next season for the men and the rest of this month for the women. Fennelly, Bolte and company will have to regroup and focus on extending their season as long as possible, while Hoiberg gets to finally bring his corps of redshirt transfers off the scout team. And for Hoiberg, I don’t think this season is one he’ll necessarily want to forget. Yes, the close losses won’t be fun to remember, but they’re key teaching points for him as a coach going forward. Some things as a player and coach you can only learn by experiencing, and coaching in crunch time is one of them. Regardless of what lies ahead for either team, the trip to Kansas City didn’t end the way either had hoped. Instead of confident, Cyclone fans have to be concerned about the NCAA tournament chances for the women, and dejected about another mediocre men’s season. It won’t take long, though, for Cyclone nation to look at what does lie ahead. They more than likely already are.

With final scores of 61-53 and 5851 in the first two contests, both teams knew what to expect. “It was another classic, gritty, possession-by-possession Big 12 women’s basketball game,” said KSU coach Deb Patterson. “We beat a great team and a great program today, so it’s a really special moment for us.” While the teams’ were familiar with each other, the Wildcats’ physical play wore down the Cyclones in this matchup. Childs is known as one of the premier post players in the Big 12, and Branshea Brown helped out down low. Brown only had seven points, but they came early in the game and helped set the tone for the rest of the contest. “We knew we had to keep Childs from scoring in the paint,” said ISU freshman forward Hallie Christofferson. “They’re very physical down there.” Childs, who was nursing a sore hip during the game, was excellent defensively for the Wildcats as well. Iowa State had a chance to tie the game late in the second half, but Childs distracted senior shooting guard Kelsey Bolte enough to cause the shot to miss off the rim.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — After losing to Iowa State twice during the regular season, the Kansas State Wildcats found a method that works: pound the ball inside. Kansas State outscored the Cyclones 36-18 in the paint in its 56-53 win Wednesday, totaling 65 percent of the Wildcats’ scoring in the shaded area. “We felt like we could bring a little bit more,” said KSU point guard Brittany Chambers. “Especially because they played last night, we wanted to really go at them. It was time, it was definitely time.” Kansas State outscored Iowa State in the paint both times during the regular season, but the disparity wasn’t nearly as large. In the teams’ first matchup, the Cyclones were outscored just 22-18 and 24-18 in the second meeting. “We always emphasize points in the paint,” KSU forward Jalana Childs said. “That’s a good number for us.” Childs finished the game with 14 points and four rebounds. All of her points came from the freethrow line or closer. Chambers finished with a game-high 20 points

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — They didn’t go out without a fight. The Cyclones entered Wednesday’s first-round game with hopes to move on and hopes to spoil Colorado’s NCAA tournament chances. The ISU seniors just wanted to keep playing. “It was tough. We just kept fighting,” said ISU senior Jake Anderson, who scored a careerhigh 33 points in his final collegiate game, a 77-75 loss to Colorado. “This was my last college game, so I was going to go down swinging, regardless.” Anderson closed out his first and only season in cardinal and gold with a bang. His 33 points led all scorers, and 22 of them came in the second half. He only had six rebounds, slightly under his season average of 7.3 entering the game, but he was 3-of-5 from 3-point range and 13-of-20, 65 percent, from the field. “[Anderson] came out and played his balls off,” said ISU guard Diante Garrett, also a senior who played his final game for the Cyclones. “He came out, went to the basket, hit 3s ... he did it all trying to help us win today.” Garrett was no slouch in his final game, either.

The two scored 37 of the Cyclones’ 47 points after halftime, but Colorado and guard Alec Burks, who scored 25 in the game’s second frame, were too much. “Jake Anderson has been playing at a whole different level,” said CU coach Tad Boyle. “Jake is a terrific player and he played awful well today. My hat goes off to that kid.” The Cyclones’ other senior on the floor, forward Jamie Vanderbeken, struggled all afternoon, shooting just 2-for-11. The typically hot shooting Scott Christopherson also struggled, going 3-of-16, and hitting just two of his nine 3-point tries, opening things up for Anderson to take the lead. “It was just one of those nights for him,” Vanderbeken said. “I feel bad for him that he played that well and doesn’t have a chance to play again in an Iowa State uniform.” Anderson and Garrett stole the show in the second half, scoring 20 straight points for the Cyclones during a seven-minute stretch. During that stretch at the 10-minute mark of the half, Garrett scored 11 — including an uncharacteristic dunk — but Anderson alone was 4-of-4 shooting, had an assist and grabbed a rebound. “He’s the one that kept us in the game,” Garrett said of Anderson. “Him being aggressive, hitting threes, getting to the rack ... stuff like that helped our team get into a good position to win.”

Wrestling

Guarding an Iowa tradition

By Jake.Calhoun iowastatedaily.com Editor’s note:

This is part two of a two-part project on the state of collegiate wrestling programs nationwide. With the success and notoriety of the ISU wrestling program, the Daily takes a look at the sport outside of Ames.

In the spring of 1993, Scott Gonyo was supposed to be preparing himself for the upcoming NCAA Championships in Ames. He qualified as a wrestler at 118 pounds for Drake University. Two weeks before the tournament, the Drake wrestling team was called together by then athletic director Lynn King, who told them that the school would be cutting the sport at the end of the season. “At the time I took it as a slap in the face,” said Gonyo, who went 2-2 in what would be his final tournament as a Drake Bulldog. “They might say they’re serious about some sports, but when you look at the dollars they’re putting into their programs, it’s just not there.” A lawsuit filed by Gonyo and four of his teammates, Gonyo v. Drake University, claimed that the cancellation of wrestling was a violation of their right of inclusion granted by Title IX. “Title IX is designed to ensure equitable participation for men and women for intercollegiate sports,” said Calli Sanders, senior associate athletic director at Iowa State. “When it was passed, we didn’t really fully know the impact it would have on sports.” The law only pertains to institutions receiving federal funds, and even though Drake is a private school, its athletic department had been receiving them to maintain its operations. In October 1993, the court ruled in favor of Drake, in that the cancellation was not in violation of Title IX since it was made to reallocate and use the school’s finances toward academic purposes “After being there for four years, I was kind of beaten down,” Gonyo said. “If you’re surrounded by an administration and a school that really doesn’t care a whole lot, that atmosphere sort of rubs off.” Iowa’s wrestling prominence The cancellation of wrestling at Drake, situated in Des Moines, was a shocking occurrence in the Midwest where the sport holds a rich tradition in its culture. “Wrestling is significant in the Midwest, especially in the state of Iowa,” said Dan Gable, wrestling icon and Waterloo native. “We are probably the most recognized state for the sport of amateur wrestling with the emphasis on how successful the upper-level [programs] have been in history.” Considered one of the most illustrious figures in the sport of wrestling, Gable was a twotime NCAA champion at Iowa State with a record of 100-1, won the gold medal at the 1972 Olympic games and later coached Iowa to 15 national titles during his tenure from 1976 to 1997 as coach of the Hawkeyes. Twelve Olympic gold medalists have come from Iowa. However, the cancellation of Division I programs like Drake is still disheartening for some. “Our American kids are getting denied an equal opportunity to win the gold medal in the Olympics,” said Bobby Douglas, who coached Iowa State from 1992 to 2006. “Wrestling is one of America’s best-kept secrets and one of America’s greatest weapons. The wrestlers have provided the type of leadership, loyalty, patriotism and American spirit that makes us so unique as a nation of people.” With Drake abandoning the sport, the state

of Iowa was left with three Division I schools sponsoring wrestling teams: Iowa, Iowa State and Northern Iowa. All three have won at least one national title, combining for 32 of the 77 titles that have been won at the Division I level. Cornell College in Mount Vernon, which now competes in Division III, also won a Division I title in 1947. “With that emphasis at the higher level getting the most notoriety, I’m sure the state of Iowa is probably the most wellknown state in America from the public point of view for wrestling,” Gable said. Despite Iowa’s low population compared to states on the east and west coasts, talented wrestlers from more populated states are drawn to programs like Iowa and Iowa State, which ultimately hurts those states. “Any time you let somebody slip out of your boundaries and they go somewhere else and get positive ink from performance, it is taking away from your state,” Gable said. Kevin Jackson serves as a prime example of this.

Heated rivalry Jackson, a four-time All-American, transferred to Iowa State for his senior season after wrestling was dropped at Louisiana State. One of the main reasons Jackson came to Iowa State was his hunger to defeat Gable’s Hawkeyes, who had won nine-straight national championships prior to the 1986-87 season. “I was confused as to why teams couldn’t beat them,” Jackson said. “So I was looking to join a team that had the athletes and the coaching in the environment to upset Iowa for that No. 1 spot.” Traditional power Oklahoma State gained immediate consideration from Jackson, but he instead chose Iowa State. Jackson went 30-3-1 as a senior on his way to a second-place finish at 167 pounds to help the Cyclones win the 1987 national title — the last the school has won in the sport. Now into his second year as coach of Iowa State, Jackson is confident that ISU wrestling will not be going anywhere due to the program’s spot as the winningest sport in school history. However, the same cannot be said for all wrestling programs. “Except for the strong teams, every other program is on pins and needles,” Jackson said. “There are several teams out there that do not feel they’re on solid ground as far as the future of their programs.” Oregon’s happy trails Chuck Kearney knows firsthand that it doesn’t take long for a wrestling program to get cut. The former coach of Oregon wrestling could only watch as the school cut the sport at the end of the 2007-2008 season in order to resurrect its baseball team that had been nonexistent for 26 years. The cancellation came shortly after the hiring of former insurance mogul Pat Kilkenny as the school’s athletic director in 2007. “I knew of Pat Kilkenny,” Kearney said. “He was one of our major donors to the athletic department and I had a grasp of where he was coming from. “And I knew that he had a vested interest in baseball.” Days after Kilkenny had taken over as athletic director, he called Kearney into his office to discuss the feasibility of bringing baseball to Oregon. Shortly afterward, Kearney began receiving tips of off-the-record leaks from reporters about talks of dropping wrestling in order to bring baseball to the school.

“At that point, we started game planning and manned the hatches down, getting prepared for the dropping of wrestling,” Kearney said. In desperation for compromise, Kearney planned to make wrestling’s presence small enough that it would not be worth it for the school to cut the sport. However, negotiations never took place when wrestling was officially cut in July 2007, ﬁve months after Kilkenny’s hiring. “It happens fast,” Kearney said. “We don’t have conference protection in the Pac-10, so the grounds can shift quickly.” Kilkenny, who stepped down in June 2009, could not be reached for comment. Prevention of further cuts Gonyo transferred to Nebraska for his senior season — where he placed sixth at 118 pounds in the 1994 NCAA Championships — as a result of Drake’s canceling of wrestling. Although originally hailing from Fort Myers, Fla., Gonyo returned to Des Moines after college to work as an assistant wrestling coach at Dowling Catholic High School. “This was where my friends were,” Gonyo said of Iowa. “I went to Nebraska and it was great, but this is where home was.” Years have passed since the epidemic of the disintegration of Division I wrestling, and it is unlikely to see the three remaining programs in Iowa suffer a fate similar to that of Drake.

“Our Division I programs are remaining somewhat static,” said Mike Moyer, executive director of the National Wrestling Coaches Association. “We’re not really losing and we’re not really gaining. I think the best word for it would be that we’re just hanging in there.” The association has worked to educate coaches on how to sustain and even grow a wrestling program by developing close relationships with donors to reduce the chances of the sport being dropped. “At the end of the day, the goal of each coach has to be to mitigate their dependence on institutional resources to fund their programs,” Moyer said. “That’s the only way to insulate these programs from being dropped.” Even though the association’s efforts have improved in preventing the loss of more Division I programs, Gonyo said it all comes down to the administrators. “It is what it is,” Gonyo said. “You can blame it on Title IX, you can blame it on this and that, but if the powers that be want the program to be there then it will and if they don’t, it won’t.”

Swimming and diving

Divers set focus on championships By Nate.Ryan iowastatedaily.com The ISU diving team will be sending four of its divers to the NCAA Zone Diving Championships March 11-13. “We saw a lot of good things at the Big 12 Championships, but I think we can deﬁnitely do better,” said diving coach Jeff Warrick. The divers will return to Austin, Texas, just two weeks after competing at the Big 12 Championships in the same pool. “That’s going to be big for us,” Warrick said. “We already know what it’s going to be like.” This will be senior Abby Christensen’s second time at the Zone Championships. “I just want to have fun,” Christensen said. “I’m excited to have four of my teammates with me.” Warrick said Christensen will need to be relaxed to get results.

“If she’s relaxed and she’s having fun, then she’s going to dive well,” Warrick said. “She’s experienced and really had a good 3-meter dive last year.” Junior Sarah Nelson will be looking to continue a successful year on the diving boards with her first trip to the Zone Championships. “It will just be fun to experience it for the first time,” Nelson said. Warrick knows Nelson’s capabilities and is expecting personal bests out of Nelson. “It’s expecting a lot, but this is the time we’re supposed to be doing it,” Warrick said. Nelson’s focus in practice still lies with consistency. “It’s something you want to strive for,” Nelson said. “It’s really important, especially at the end of the season.” Junior diver Jenn Botsch will also be experiencing this meet for the first time. “I really just want to enjoy it,” Botsch said. “I want to see what’s out there for

next year so I can be more prepared in the future.” Warrick would like to see Botsch get back to the level she was at when she qualified for Zones in the first meet of the season. “She just needs to be relaxed at this meet,” Warrick said. “I want her to get back into that feeling that she was in.” Junior Lauren Naeve will be returning to the diving boards from injury for the first time since early December. “I’m just excited to be able to compete again,” Naeve said. “I’m not expecting anything phenomenal, but to just get comfortable again.” With just a week’s worth of practice, Warrick said she thinks she can step up and compete. “She’s had a great week of practice,” Warrick said. “I think she can surprise some people with how well she does for just having a week back.”
