The Great Recession is over for Eric Clapton fans. During a charity auction Wednesday, fans bid on some of the guitar legend’s most prized possessions and raised $1.77 million for a drug treatment center in Antigua. The auction, held in New York, had 140 lots containing various guitars, amps, citations of achievements, touring cases and even a stage suit designed by Gianni Versace. All the money raised will go to beneﬁt the Crossroads Centre, a nonproﬁt drug treatment center that Clapton founded on the island in the West Indies in 1998. “We feel it’s a tremendous success,” Kim Martin, a representative for the Crossroads Centre, said. “We’re excited the auction raised the amount of money it did, and we’re grateful for the organizers and the many bidders who participated.”

Gwen Stefani: I have to watch what I eat Unlike most women in Hollywood, Gwen Stefani doesn’t claim that she can eat whatever she wants and somehow still stay slim. In fact, the mother of two admits that keeping her tummy toned is a daily effort. “I work out ﬁve days a week,” Stefani said, according to the Daily Mail. “I can’t imagine not doing it.” While Stefani admits to being a big fan of pizza – and even treated herself to a slice after presenting her Spring 2011 L.A.M.B. clothing collection at New York Fashion Week last September — she is very careful about her diet. “I’d like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I’ve learned over the years that I’m so disappointed when I can’t wear the clothes I want to wear,” she tells Elle U.K. “And if I let myself down, appear on stage when I’m not looking my best, it’s not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it.”

Oprah Winfrey shares her private diaries Oprah Winfrey is giving fans a glimpse of her most private moments by sharing her personal journals in the April issue of “O” magazine. USA Today reports that the five handwritten pages, taken from diaries the media mogul has kept since childhood, cover everything from the making of her very first movie — 1985’s “The Color Purple” — to her very first date at age 16. “Anthony asked me yesterday to go with him today. I answered yes,” Winfrey says in an entry dated Sept. 22, 1970. “My only regret is my parents. Maybe I shouldn’t have said yes but I wanted to, and my want overpowered theirs. ... I hated to go against my parents, but Anthony is so perfect (almost). I couldn’t say no.”

Lupe Fiasco: I don’t really care about the fame The day his fans have been waiting for has arrived, but Lupe Fiasco doesn’t appear to be basking in the glow of his latest album, “Lasers.” The Chicago lyricist’s third studio album comes after his critically and commercially successful offering, “The Cool.” After some delays – and even scheduled fan demonstrations demanding the record’s release – “Lasers” eventually leaked a couple of weeks before the ofﬁcial March 8 release date. In a candid Q&A compiled from two interviews with New York Magazine, the 30-year-old rapper, born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco, was asked about his hopes for “Lasers.” “To be blunt, I don’t really give a [crap],” Fiasco said. “I’ve grown very distant from the business, very numb to it. ... I don’t really care about the success anymore. I don’t really care about the fame. Three, four years later, I look at my bank account statements, and I haven’t made any money with my record label. You start to think a little bit differently about your motivations and why you’re doing what you’re doing.”

Palin calls Kathy Grifﬁn a ‘50-year-old adult bully’

Imitation may be the greatest form of flattery, but not when it comes to Kathy Griffin. The comedian is set to play a Sarah Palin-type character on an upcoming episode of “Glee,” and Palin says she is hardly amused. “You know, Kathy Griffin can do anything to me or say anything about me, because you know, she’s kind of this – she’s a 50-year-old adult bully, really, is what she is. Kind of a has-been comedian, and she can do those things to me,” Palin told Fox News when asked about Griffin’s “Glee” guest spot. But while Palin may be able to take the potshots, she is warning the “My Life on the D List” star to lay off her family, including daughters Bristol and Willow.

Student assistance Spring break plans primary aspiration vary among students By Elizabeth.Krugler iowastatedaily.com

By Alli.Kolick iowastatedaily.com Ebony Williams has put multicultural students at the top of her list. Williams is one of three new staff members in the Multicultural Student Affairs office — along with Adele Lozano and Mathilda Tuuli — and is a program coordinator for multicultural programming. Williams started working with students at her Alma Mater, Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C., initially intending to work as a news reporter. As she continued to work with students as a hall director at Meredith College and then at Tulane University in New Orleans, she discovered that this was her calling. “Through being a hall director I decided that this was my passion. This is what I wanted to do,” Williams said. “Part of the reason why I felt like working with students was my calling was because there were so many people that were there to help me get to where I am that I just wanted to give back to other people.” At Iowa State, Williams works with transitions and the end-of-the-year recognition ceremony. Throughout the year, Williams helps with more specific programming such as Black History Month in February. Williams also provides programming for the Black

Cultural Center. The Black Cultural Center is a place that allows black students to learn about their cultural identity, further their education and provide a relaxing environment. Due to its location on Welch Avenue, Williams said many students might be unaware of where it is or that it’s even attached to the university. “We’ve done a lot more this semester, as far as programming,” Williams said. “We had an open house in January just to reintroduce people to the Black Cultural Center.” The open house provided tours and refreshments to

visitors and highlighted the amenities the Black Cultural Center has to offer to students, such as cable television, Wi-Fi and a kitchen. Programs like these allow students to feel more at ease when dealing with unfamiliar situations, such as budgeting.

Spring break on the beach in the sun may sound like a picture-perfect scene, but it comes with a price. Molly Cleveland, sophomore in pre-journalism and mass communication, is going on a spring break trip to South Padre Island, Texas, with a group of friends. Some members of the group will fly to the destination while others will drive, but all will meet at the condo they rented to stay in. Cleveland considered popularity of a destination when picking out a spring break trip. “I had looked at the popular destinations and thought South Padre looked fun,” she said. “I have a friend that lives in Texas, and it would be easy for them to drive to South Padre and meet us.” Cleveland estimates her trip will cost about $1,000, but this doesn’t worry her. “I think a spring break trip is something that every student should experience,” she said. “You only get four years before you graduate and so everyone should experience it at least once before entering the real world.”

>>TRASH.p1 The building manager for each building determines how frequently the truck should come to empty a dumpster, Cervato said. “Since there’s quite a lot of recycling already going on, we’re at an impression that these tippings occur when the dumpster’s not full, but on a determined schedule, so we would like to be more efficient about this and reduce the number of times that trucks go around campus to empty dumpsters that might not be full,” Cervato said. Dorman stresses without more student involvement, monitoring the dumpsters could be difficult. “Since the dumpsters are emptied at variable times each day, it can be hard to look in the dumpster at the optimal time right before

Cleveland’s plans for the week fell through for last year, making her more excited for this year’s trip. Not all students are ready to pay that price. Students who decide to stay closer to home often consider their financial situation when making plans for break. Tiffany Casaccio, sophomore in psychology, is staying in Ames during break to save money. “I decided to stay in Ames and work,” Casaccio said. “I have bills to pay and I am already in debt and I don’t want to spend more money.” “[Spring break trips can be] fun, but I am not 21, so I would rather wait until I am older and it can be more fun.” Casaccio works at two different jobs throughout the week. She said she will be making about $250 total for the week instead of spending $600 to $700 on a trip. “I do not think a spring break trip is worth it right now,” Casaccio said. “Everything keeps getting more expensive, so why waste your time and money if you’re not old enough to do most things that college students want to do on spring break.”

its emptied,” Dorman said. Over time, the LAS Green Team hopes to see just how much students’ recycling efforts has benefitted Iowa State by reusing materials and reducing trash levels. Unless we know how much trash we are producing, we won’t be able to evaluate and quantify how successful these recycling efforts are, Cervato said. “Once we have that baseline data the focus will be on reducing the amount of trash hopefully that is in a dumpster and reduce the amount of tipping and reducing the amount of emissions from the trucks coming around and tipping,” Gilbert said. Students interested are encouraged to check out the monitoring website, http:// thirteen-01.stat.iastate.edu/green/garbage/, located on the LAS webpage.

Tanning does not go without risk

A proposed law in Iowa would require a signed parental consent form for anyone under the age of 18 wanting to use a tanning bed. Photo Illustration: Whitney Sager/Iowa State Daily

>>MINORS.p1 International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies UV tanning devices in the highest cancer risk category Group 1: carcinogenic to humans. Other agents in this category include cigarettes, mustard gas, plutonium, radon and coke production. Currently, 11 states restrict minors from tanning and 31 states require parental permission. Last year, a 10 percent tax was imposed to indoor tanning. This tax does not apply to medical phototherapy services, spray-tanning and gym membership tanning. The Indoor Tanning Association lists vitamin D as a positive effect of UV light. The organization claims “exposing the skin to ultraviolet light is the body’s primary means of producing vitamin D,” which in turn is related to positive physiological effects. Christenson said the health risks of tanning far outweigh any health benefit claims. “The UV in the tanning bed can result in some vitamin D production, but you can get adequate vitamin D production with the drinking of fortified milk, an oral supplement or 5 to 10 minutes of natural sun exposure three to four times a week,” she said.” “As for mood benefits, there is evidence that serotonin, a mood-elevating substance, can be released with UV exposure; however, this can also be done with a good run, intake of

chocolate or a good laugh.” “Seasonal affective disorder is treated with visible light, not ultraviolet light that is emitted in the tanning bed. Visible light and ultraviolet light are two very different portions of the light spectrum.” Austin Moody, manager at Sizzlin’ Cabana and ISU sophomore in pre-business, said a tanning ban wouldn’t have a deep impact on business since his business’ primary clients are college students. He said tanning is “a great stress reliever. It’s 10 to 20 minutes of relaxation.” The first few months of the year is the business’s peak season with nearly 200 customers per day. Moody said clients want to build a base tan before going on spring break. “A tan is not protective, but is a sign of the body’s reaction to sun damage that has already occurred to the skin cell’s DNA,” Christenson said. She said the idea of building up a tan in a tanning bed is “proof of damage and is not protective.” Each Sizzlin’ Cabana client must complete an annual release form. The form lists the following health effects of tanning: “increased risk of skin cancer later in life, increased risk of skin thickening and premature aging, possibility of burning or rash, increased risk of eye damage unless proper eyewear is worn.” Moody admits there are risks, but “the goal is to educate clients on the safe way to

tan and create a friendly atmosphere where clients can ask questions.” All clients must show eyewear and wait 24 hours between tanning. Moody said it’s important to “work with the law. We’re not trying to go against it.” Lauren Young, junior in

advertising, sees both the good and bad sides of tanning. “It’s bad for you unless you take the necessary precautions,” she said. “I do believe it enhances your happiness. If minors have to have permission for everything else then they should have to have permission to tan. You don’t know

or understand the risks when you’re that young.” Electric Beach Tanning Center, tanworld and Fusion Tanning declined to comment on the issue. Christenson said the most common warning signs of skin cancer are a red or shiny spot on the skin that won’t heal and/or bleeds easily, or a brown spot that changes in size, shape or color. In addition to skin cancer, overexposure to UV radiation can lead to premature skin aging, actinic keratosis or “skin growths,” cataracts and immune system suppression. As students go on spring break trips, Christenson recommends frequently applying

a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater.

Enjoy spring break away or at home

Don’t pigeonhole the GOP

Today marks the start of a full week generously given to students in Ames and throughout the rest of the world: spring break. For those still left in Ames reading this Iowa State Daily edition, we commend you for going to class today; or at least grabbing it for a read as you hit the road. For many students, spring break means leaving this cold, desolate and still snowy area known as Iowa and going somewhere as far away and warm as possible; or at least somewhere that isn’t Iowa. Trips cost these students lots of money — from the travel spent reaching the destination to the food and beverages bought every day upon arrival. After saving up for months in advance, most students headed somewhere on vacation opt to skip classes Friday, and sometimes even Thursday afternoon. Professors, in an effort to maintain some numbers of students, practically feed you points to stick around for one lecture before you have the week off. With all the spending students are preparing to do, wouldn’t it make more sense to just stick around and earn a few more points while saving extra dollars; not to mention increasing the professor’s opinion of them for having actually attended the class? But, not all students spend spring break traveling to the beach; perhaps more often than not, students head back home for a bit of time off from school. To those students who choose to bask in the frigid nothingness, good for you. After all, the university graciously gives us nine full days to shake out those winter blues, while some high schools in Iowa give only a whopping Friday off. Iowa or not, it’s still a time of no commitments. Take the time to sleep in, laugh at others stuck slaving away at homework and sit around eating cheesy puffs and drinking soda all day while watching multiple marathons of “Jerry Springer.” Snap out of the routine you’ve been forcing yourself to stay in for the past eight weeks; challenge that winter malaise and summarily banish it until next year. Also, be sure to make your break memorable. After all, it is a vacation, so do something you might enjoy. Be bold, be brave, run to the top of a hill and belt out your favorite tune to the rest of the world; be your voice karaoke worthy or akin to cats on a hot tin roof. Host a showing of a movie series: all of the “Godfather” ﬂicks, “Star Wars” ﬁlms — yes, even “The Phantom Menace” — or the entire “Lord of the Rings” trilogy extended edition. Cliché as it sounds, enjoy your time on spring break. We’ll do the same. Editorial Board Jessie Opoien, editor in chief Gabriel Stoffa, copy chief Amy Jo Warren, community member

Understand the facts, numbers behind the ‘evil’ cuts

he time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things. Of spending cuts, austerity and whether pigs have wings. If there ever were a walrus, he would probably tell you that we’d defund PBS, Planned Parenthood and every other clogged money hole once pigs sprout wings; tasty, tasty wings. Until then, rest assured, we’ll keep aiming for the high score on the national debt. To me, the most comical part of the entire to fund or not to fund debate is the ignorance exhibited by people who believe ﬁrmly that if the budget doesn’t explicitly say, “Really ﬁshy taxpayer funding for unnecessary abortions,” then there’s zero reason to ever cut any amount of funding from them. What they invariably withhold from you is that federal funding frees up money obtained from private donors or other sources. Sure, the budget won’t say “taxpayer funded abortions,” but who’s to stop them from applying taxpayer money to less controversial items, freeing up private funds for other uses? It’s not that groups like PBS or Planned Parenthood do only bad things. I’m not making that point at all. I’m addressing people who believe no money should ever be cut from these programs, and that the only reason anyone would want to cut money from them is because of their partisan politics. Republicans gained the House

Programs such as these are included in the major budget cuts. The motives behind such cuts have been met with a great deal of loathing — be it informed or not — by the public.

during an economic recession with a record obliterating national debt. They proposed originally to cut $74 billion from the budget, lowered to $61 billion currently, and the only reason anyone can come up with for why they would want to cut that stuff is, what? Let’s assume for a moment that Republicans got their way: the cuts never lowered and stayed at $74 billion. That’s a grand total of 1.9 percent of the total budget. At $61 billion, it’s still an intolerable 1.5 percent of the budget. Pure insanity. Why anyone would want to cut half a percent of our manageable $14 trillion debt is beyond me. I promise you this: any cut proposed by Republicans will be

repudiated as a political attack. ThinkProgress.org — a haltingly unbiased purveyor of untainted news — said that Republicans, when not busy eating babies, are busy chopping money from programs that fatten them. By how much must one’s weight exceed one’s IQ for the “Republicans hate women and children and the poor” line to work? Are people this dumb? Let’s take our stupid-caps off for just two seconds. Thinking logically, we can only conclude that House Republicans don’t just despise women, children and the poor; they clearly hate everything. They wanted to chop $1 billion from high-speed rail enterprises and $379 million from NASA. We

all know that those two things are the future; Republicans would defund the future. They wanted to cut $7.3 million from the Smithsonian. Now they would cut money from history itself. Lastly those misanthropes wanted to axe $72 million from the Fish and Wildlife Service and $38 million from the Forestry Service. That’s right, House Republicans would chop money from Mother Earth herself. So, do your part Iowa State. Consider this article a completely nonpartisan call to oppose those vicious Republicans who are big stupid-heads. And remember, opposing Republicans is never partisan; it’s just the right thing to do.

St. Patrick’s Day

Celebrate the real holiday meaning

By Sarah.Tisinger iowastatedaily.com

he part about Iowa State’s Spring Break that I always look forward to most isn’t vacationing — because I haven’t had the finances to travel — but St. Patrick’s Day, which is almost here: Thursday, March 17, to be precise. I never thought much about the holiday until I actually visited Ireland. In the same way that Australians don’t typically drink Fosters beer, the Irish don’t celebrate St. Patty’s Day nearly to the same extent Americans do. Some of the Irish I questioned about it actually called us crazy and somewhat demented. “You turn your river green! We’d never do anything crazy as that,” an Irish fellow said to me in a pub. In case you’re interested in seeing the Chicago River turn green this year, it’s happening Saturday, March 12. After hearing that claim, I had to do some digging. St. Patrick’s Day, as most of us know, was started as a religious celebration in honor of Saint Patrick visiting Ireland and bringing Catholicism with him; St. Patrick did this in the fifth century, according to Diversity Insight, a blog dedicated to educating corporations on cultural holidays and rights. It wasn’t until 1762 that the first parade occurred to celebrate

the holiday. Oh, and it took place in New York City. Congress even went so far in 1995 as to make March the Irish-American Heritage Month; the president issues a proclamation each year. It makes sense the Irish are a proud people. Ireland isn’t exactly known to have the best economic records, and the Irish are stereotyped as alcoholic, leprechaunseeking morons who are more than happy to start a ﬁst ﬁght. The Irish weren’t exactly accepted into America, but with the potato famine, political rebellions and religious prejudices, many Irish bought into the sense of the American dream. But Irish culture has gotten

intermixed with American culture so that Americans don’t realize what it means to be Irish anymore. Claddagh rings are extremely popular in America now, stylized with the two hearts holding a heart with a crown upon it. But many women who wear one can’t even tell me which way to wear it to symbolize single or taken. They don’t even realize that the term “Claddagh ring” came from the town in Ireland where they originated. It doesn’t seem out of bounds, then, that Americans drink green beer, decorate themselves with shamrocks — which aren’t even the true symbol of Ireland — and dye rivers green. The holiday has

become so skewed that we don’t really celebrate St. Patrick anymore, but just Ireland in general. Personally, I wear a Claddagh ring and an engagement ring that has Celtic knots; both from Ireland. I’ve been to the Emerald Isles twice; I listen to traditional Celtic and modern Irish music; and I have a fair bit of Irish ancestry. But that doesn’t mean I’m Irish. My ancestors were, and I’m proud of that. I’m also German, Welsh, English and Norwegian. I’m not going to participate in celebrations to turn a river green. I’m not going to go out and drink Guinness — I’m more of a Bulmer/ Magners drinker myself — or pretend that I’m Irish. But I will go out and celebrate with a green shirt on, because it’s fun. I guess the moral of the story is, kids, is that we’re all a little Irish; and we’re all most deﬁnitely not. Don’t pretend to be what you’re not. But March 17, I hope to see you all out getting your Irish on. ™

Letter

Vulgar gesture reﬂects poorly on university Dear President Geoffroy, I am writing to you today to make sure that you are aware of an incident that occurred during the Regents Day on the Hill on March 7. It came to my attention through a video [look to the 1:20 mark] that a student involved in Iowa State’s lobbying efforts made a vulgar gesture toward the governor. While people within the state capitol have certain protected rights of expression, this was undoubtedly a regrettable event. I am conﬁdent that you, Iowa State and the Student Ambassadors do not condone such behavior, especially at such a time in our state and nation of increased efforts for civility in politics. That being said, this young man was acting as an ambassador of Iowa State, and was present at the capitol in an official, and taxpayer funded, capacity.

Lucas Draisey, chairman of the Iowa Federation of College Republicans Much has been made about the wisdom and appropriateness of the lobbying efforts, and reasonable people can disagree. That is not the intention of my e-mail. It is my understanding however, that Iowa State and the people responsible for this event, and the delegates therein, have not taken responsibility for the disappointing action that this student took. It is my concern that without condemning what happened and apologizing to the governor and to the people of Iowa, students and citizens will only see the calls for more civility as just another empty political gesture, devoid of action and good faith. Iowa State is a respected institution and

has much to offer this state, and failing to condemn the actions of this representative of Iowa State would undermine any efforts students make to inﬂuence the political process now, and into the future. As a college student myself, I ﬁnd it frustrating that this event is what elected officials will come away with from their interaction with students. It undermines your cause, and it undermines the effectiveness of student and/ or youth lobbies on both sides of the aisle. It is my sincere hope that Iowa State does the right thing and immediately apologizes for this event so that we can put it behind us. I would like to put this matter to rest quietly, but quite frankly, the disrespect shown to our chapter at Iowa State has compelled me to make open and public this correspondence via my personal Facebook page, and the Iowa Federation of College Republicans website.

Climactic season ends

NCAA Championships Where: Philadelphia When: March 17 to 19

First national bid for two other wrestlers By Jake.Calhoun iowastatedaily.com For Jon Reader, this is it. An entire season of battling injuries and maintaining intensity, along with a perfect record, has served as an impeccable lead-in to Reader’s last stand: the 2011 NCAA Championships in Philadelphia. “This is the last go-round but I’m just taking day-by-day and staying in the present and focusing on training today,” said Reader, who earned a No. 1 seed at 174 pounds. “There’s no need to exert any extra energy looking toward the NCAA tournament right now.”

While this will be Reader’s last time on college wrestling’s biggest stage, this will be the first for two other ISU wrestlers. Cole Shafer and Kyle Simonson both earned their first bid to the national tournament after each secured the fourth and final automatic bids in their respective weight classes. “It’s awesome,” Shafer said. “Not many guys get to go and it’s a privilege to be one of them.” Shafer will face favored Jake Meredith of Arizona State in the first round and would likely face thirdseeded Steve Bosak of Cornell if he pulls off the upset.

Notes: Iowa State will send ﬁve wrestlers to the NCAA Championships: Jon Reader, No. 1 seed at 174 pounds; Cole Shafer, 184 pounds; Kyle Simonson, heavyweight; Jerome Ward, 197 pounds; and Chris Drouin, 141 pounds.

Simonson drew a rematch against Iowa’s Blake Rasing — who beat him, 2-1 — in the Cyclones’ Dec. 3 dual meet against the Hawkeyes. Rasing, who won the Big Ten title at heavyweight, earned the No. 7 seed for the tournament. “Nothing really changes,” Simonson said. “I go out to wrestle the same way every time.” After two years competing at 184 pounds, Jerome Ward is getting a change of scenery.

The redshirt junior earned the No. 11 seed at 197 pounds and a firstround match against Ohio’s Erik Schuth, whom Ward beat by a 3-1 decision at the Hokie Open earlier this season. “The biggest thing is probably just focusing on that first match,” Ward said. “It’s essential in any tournament. You’ve just got to get that first win to put you in a better position and you can just keep moving forward from there.”

Ward, who was an at-large bid the past two seasons at 184, lost to Boise State’s highly ranked Kirk Smith in his ﬁrst match both years. Despite failing to secure an automatic bid at the Big 12 Championships, senior Chris Drouin qualiﬁed at 141 pounds as the Cyclones’ only at-large bid. The former All-American at Arizona State is 13-9, having missed nine-straight duals in the middle of the season due to a concussion he sustained at the national duals.

One more victory sought

Season begins in Sunshine State

Regular season ends with final Nebraska bout By Dylan.Montz iowastatedaily.com After a tie in the final home meet of the season, No. 21 Iowa State will look for one more victory Sunday in the regular season against a Big 12 foe, No. 10 Nebraska. This will be the final time that the Cyclones (74-2, 1-2 Big 12) take on the Cornhuskers (8-7, 3-1 Big 12) as conference opponents as Nebraska will join the Big Ten next season. ISU coach Jay Ronayne is stressing the importance of performing well against the Cornhuskers as well as at the Big 12 Championships to move back up in the rankings. “We know we have to score well, that’s what it all comes down to,” Ronayne said. “If we score close to 196 this weekend and at Big 12s, we’ll set ourselves up to probably be in the top 18 [in the country].” “When we go to NCAA regionals, the top 18 schools are seeded so we would be seeded in the top three no matter what region we go to. That’s an advantage psychologically.” The Cyclones had to count yet another fall on the balance beam against Minnesota, so the goal for Nebraska — Spring Break week — and the Big 12s is to stay on the equipment and tighten up their routines. After competing Sunday

Championships during Spring Break. Junior Celine Paulus said that while the week is short, the preparation isn’t as intense as one might think. “We don’t have a lot of practice next week which is nice because this week we have a longer practice week and we kind of have to prepare for two meets in one week,” Paulus said. “But it will be ﬁne. Spring Break is nice because we don’t have school so are just all focused on gymnastics so it is nice right before Big 12s.” While the ultimate g o a l for the Cyclone gymnasts is to win the Big 12 Championship, they are just working to try to beat as many of the Big 12 teams as they can. Sophomore Elizabeth Stranahan said she expects the team to go to Columbia and compete for a title. “Realistically our goal has been to beat at least two Big 12 teams this season, so if we could go and ﬁnish in the

top two that would be ideal,” Stranahan said. Iowa State will travel Sunday to Lincoln to take on Nebraska. The Cyclones will then return to Ames before traveling to Columbia, Mo., for the Big 12 Championship on March 19. That meet is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.

Notes: Iowa State will be competing with the other three competing Big 12 schools Missouri, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Iowa State last won the gymnastics championship in 2006, and ﬁrst won the conference title in 2000.

Softball

Cyclones prepare for 10-game stretch Extended road trip ranges from Kan. to Calif. By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com Coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler and the ISU softball team are preparing for a rugged schedule, playing 10 road games in nine days. The extended road trip will begin in Wichita, Kan., where the Cyclones will face the Wichita State Shockers (6-15)

word!

in two games Saturday, followed by a third game Sunday. The Cyclones will then head to Kansas City, Mo., to play a double-header Monday against the University of Missouri-Kansas City (10-6). After a short week of practice, the Cyclones will travel to Stanford, Calif., for ﬁve games at the Louisville Slugger Classic, starting March 18. “It’s a great start for us with Wichita State and UMKC. I think our team has a great opportunity to play better than last weekend,” GemeinhardtCesler said. “Then, hope-

fully, we’ll be able to come back and get in some practice outside and then head out to California.” While at the Louisville Slugger Classic, the Cyclones will face UNLV (11-7), Cal Poly (3-17) and Northwestern (12-5) once each, as well as Stanford (17-3) twice. The Northwestern Wildcats and the Stanford Cardinal likely will be the Cyclones’ toughest competition at the Classic. The Wildcats are on a ﬁve-game winning streak included knocking off the No. 11-ranked

California Golden Bears. Northwestern is led offensively by Emily Allard, hitting .571 on the season, and pitcher Meghan Lamberth, who is 7-0 with 2.00 ERA. Stanford, currently ranked No. 14, has a two-headed monster of a pitching staff with Teagan Gerhart (1.49 ERA) and Ashley Chinn (2.30 ERA). The Cardinal have ﬁve players hitting more than the .400 mark on the season, led by Ashley Hansen at .515. By comparison, the Cyclones’ leading hitter is Tori Torrescano with a .367 batting average.

However, GemeinhardtCesler has been re-tooling her lineup of late, giving freshman Anna Cole her first starts of the season in right field, as well as adjusting the batting order from top to bottom. “There’s a competition everywhere for us,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “Every day people have opportunities to break into the lineup; every day is a competition.” “Everyone, including me, is always working for a starting spot,” said outfielder Heidi Kidwell. “It makes everybody work a lot harder every day.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Partnership is key, at home and at work. The collaboration goes both ways. Be ready to listen and to recognize other’s ideas. They may be right.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Believe in your dreams. New career possibilities open. Did you always want to be an astronaut? What’s stopping you? Woody Allen says, “90 percent of success is just showing up.” Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Adventure time! Let go of limitations and discover new territories within. You find new ways to express yourself that you never considered possible.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 9 -- It’s a good time to write and reflect on nature. What can you do that would involve both activities? Fix a picnic lunch and escape for a journal session outside. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is an 8 -- Consider a creative activity with children. Volunteer at your local school, if you can. Or just spend time reading to a younger family member. They teach you. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is an 8 -- The day could be a roller coaster, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. After you get used to the thrill of the ride, you might even enjoy it. Lift up your arms as you scream.
