Retention rates, residence focus of talks By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Board of Regents was tasked with hearing a wide range of topics, including the concern of retention rates, residence reports and economic growth at Iowa State. The Regents, who met in the Gold
Online:
Room of the Memorial Union on Wednesday, heard reports concerning the three Regent university’s retention and graduation rates. Iowa State showed a one-year retention rate of 85.8 percent for students who entered the university in 2011. This places Iowa State above the 76.7 percent national average, as
well as above Iowa at 85.5 percent and Northern Iowa at 81.3 percent. “We’re largely a STEM university with some very difficult majors,” said President Steven Leath at the meeting. Leath explained that 80 percent of freshman students are involved in learning communities, and those
learning communities show a retention rate of 88 percent. Leath pointed out that studying abroad, internships and majors that are five year programs such as architecture, all increase the average number of years till a student may

GRITTING HIS TEETH Gadson endures trying year, ends with Big 12 title By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com What a year it has been for Kyven Gadson. From his long-awaited return to the mat to the recent passing of his father, Gadson has been through hell and back on his way to earning the No. 6 seed at 197 pounds for the upcoming NCAA Championships. Before winning the Cyclones’ only title at the Big 12 Championships last weekend, Gadson told ISU coach

Regents Day switches dates at last moment By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com Regents Day at the Capitol unexpectedly switched meeting dates from the original March 25 to Wednesday on very short notice. Regents Day at the Capitol is a day where students from Iowa’s public regent universities – Iowa State, Northern Iowa and Iowa – gather to advocate to the Iowa legislature. They also discuss what each university gives back to the state of Iowa as individuals and cooperatively. This year, a big topic was tuition set-aside. According to the press release, Hannah Walsh, student from Iowa and student member of the Board of

Winner shares experience Nobel laureate mixes business with technology By Elizabeth.Polsdofer @iowastatedaily.com Danny Shechtman, U.S. Department of Energy Ames Laboratory senior scientist and distinguished professor of materials science and engineering, encouraged member of the ISU community to consider a future a business. His lecture, “Technological Entrepreneurship: A Key to World Peace and Prosperity,” took place on Wednesday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Pat Miller, director of the Lectures Program, confirmed that 280 people were in attendance for Shechtman’s lecture. “Technological entrepreneurship is the establish of a new technology venture,” Shechtman said. “That’s it. You have to establish it.” Technological entrepreneurship is the building of science or technology-based businesses. Shechtman spends part of his time teaching at Technion, a technology institute in Shechtman’s home country of Israel, where he teaches a course on technological entrepreneurship.

Attempts to build a similar class at Iowa State was not met with success. The idea came to Shechtman when he realized there was a gap in translating knowledge about how to market technology in the business world. Shechtman said that Technion’s goals were to build students up to the level that any company would want hire them. “I said, ‘What if I want to open my own technology business?’” Shechtman said. “The Technion did not teach me how to do that.” Shechtman felt that his class has made an impact on technological entrepreneurship on Israel. Currently, Israel is the world leader in the number of startup businesses. The lecture emphasized fostering the “spirit of entrepreneurship” as a key component to ensuring success in new businesses. “I know that around the world there are many programs in which children in high school are taught entrepreneurship,” Shechtman said. “The school is trying to introduce the spirit of entrepreneurship.” The next step to successful technological entrepreneurship, Shechtman said, begins at the university level with land-grant universities such as too, so I allow [Kyven] to share what he wants to share with me,” Jackson said. “He shared the whole experience of himself being in the hospital room when his dad passed away. “Even though your father’s passed away, I’m going to treat you like my son. I think I already have, but you’re going to look at me in that role.” Through this season, Gadson has gritted his teeth en route to compiling a 25-2 record. “Dealing with what he’s dealt with, it’s unbelievable,” said 141-pounder Luke Goettl. “I try to put myself in that position thinking [about] what it would be like for me; I don’t know if I could do it.” With Gadson as the starter at 197 pounds, the ISU wrestling team went 11-5 in dual meets and finished second at the Big 12 Championships — the first time it had not finished last in three seasons. But Gadson’s return did not come without hesitations. “Oh man, I feel like it’s still strange at times,” Gadson said with a laugh when asked of his return to live wrestling. “It’s funny how you do something for so long and it becomes a part of your daily life and then when it’s taken from you, it changes everything.” Shaken confidence and reluctancy on the mat were major road bumps for Gadson. While those road bumps have since been scaled, they would not have been there without some turbulence that started during the offseason.

Iowa State. To inspire students at Technion speakers are chosen that are identifiable to young entrepreneurs. “Even if you don’t have anything you can start something and you can succeed,” Shechtman said. “Students like stories, they learn from stories.” However, Shechtman said a strong education and knowledge of technological entrepreneurship is not enough for students to be successful in the business world. Shechtman recommends government intervention as necessary as well. “The government is obligated to supply, to provide basic education for all,” Shechtman
said. “Governments have roles. Governments can support the growth of new businesses. I’m talking about state governments, maybe city governments, federal governments can help.” Kristen Constant, chair of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, expressed gratitude that Shechtman was able to talk to students about technological entrepreneurship. “Shechtman spends four months at Iowa State, but only one month of that is during the semester,” Constant said. “We thought it was important that the lecture on technological entrepreneurship be given when there are more students here.”
To make matters worse, he soon spiraled into a depression that came with the announcement of his father’s diagnosis last March. The depression sent Gadson on an eating binge, which he said had him weighing in at 248 pounds at his heaviest last April. This triggered Jackson to have a serious talk with him about preparing for next season. “He better start running,” Jackson said of what he told Gadson. “He better start running and he better start running a lot.” Jackson said the challenge for Gadson during the recovery process was to not let his weight become a factor. “If we get into the season and you’re losing 10 pounds a week, it’s going to make your body weaker, therefore making your shoulder weaker,” Jackson said. “So we’ve got to come into the season in shape.” While Gadson knew he wanted to get back to being the wrestler he once was, his father’s condition provided all the more motivation to do so. “It was definitely a big-time driving force,” Gadson said. “When I talked to him in April about it and I told him I was scared about everything that was going on, he told me, ‘Don’t worry about that, you have your business to handle and I want to see you handle that.’ “When he said that to me, it kind of was a growing moment for myself. That really was a big point for me.”
to be there with the persisting concern for his father’s condition on his mind, Gadson said his vision became clearer even after having an iffy match against Rosholt the previous day at the Big 12 Duals. “On Saturday, I talked to my dad that morning — he didn’t say anything back, but I talked to him and I said some things to him and I kind of just got into a zone,” Gadson said. “I knew what I needed to do, what needed to happen. “My mom told me my dad was kind of responsive on Friday to when I was wrestling, so that really made me happy. I was just thinking, ‘I did this for my pops.’” Gadson’s father had always been his mentor, especially after having him as his coach at Waterloo East High School. Following Kyven’s fourthplace finish at the Midlands Championships — where he suffered his only two losses of the season — Willie was able to pick his spirits up. “After the tournament he said, ... ‘You’re right there with the top guys in the nation and you just had two years off,’” Gadson said. Gadson has not lost since having that talk with his father. Sights have now been set for the NCAA Championships on March 21-23 in Des Moines, where Gadson will compete with the best of the best to aim for a national title in his first year of collegiate competition. Even when Gadson came into his office 50 pounds over weight a year ago, Jackson said the plan for him this entire time was to have him poised to win a national title. “We expected to be in this situation right now,” Jackson said. “We planned for him to be in this situation with a chance to win a national championship right now, so it’s come to pass.”
‘You’re right there’ As Gadson stood on the top of the podium last Saturday at the Big 12 Championships, he smiled as he got booed by disgruntled fans of Oklahoma State for beating Blake Rosholt in the 197-pound title match. Although he didn’t want

Iowa State also introduced the Student Experience Enhancement Council in November 2012, which Leath explained may help to improve students’ time at the university and continue to improve retention rates. Pete Englin, the director of residence for Iowa State, presented a residency report to the Regents. Englin explained that he has received several requests from members of the Government of the Student Body, Inter-Residence Hall Association and the Graduate and Professional Student Senate. These requests included not using the dens to house students in the upcoming years, having a three percent vacancy rate and tailoring some living spaces to graduate students. “Meeting any of these requirements, they don’t look very good,” Englin said. “No one is required to live on campus, so the greatest accomplishment we can receive is when students choose to return. Coupled with strong entering classes we have high demand ... The only way we accommodate some of these additional priorities is if demand decreases or
we add housing capacity.” Englin said that the department of residence wants to do their best to keep “serving students well.” However, he also said that there is no timetable or current plan on when they will be able to meet the requests, other than the new additions to Frederiksen Court. Iowa State received a 2.86 percent interest rate for bonds to pay for the Frederiksen Court expansion. “Given that 2.86 percent is a very favorable interest rate, we’re elated for our students,” Englin said. “It independently affirms that our partnering with student leaders in our financial planning has us well positioned for the future.” Miles Lackey, associate vice president and Leath’s chief of staff, presented on Iowa State’s future economic capabilities, calling the university an “economic powerhouse.” Lackey focused on an “economic stool,” with the three legs being work force, capital and innovation. Craig Lang also took the opportunity to recognize and introduce Dr. Subhash Sahai, who has been appointed as a new member of the Regents and is waiting approval for the position from the Iowa Senate.

College of Human Sciences
New vision, search for associate dean By Jessi.Wilson @iowastatedaily.com The search for the next associate dean for Extension and Outreach in the College of Human Sciences has been extended to April 15. Cathann Kress, vice president for extension and outreach, and Pamela White, dean of the College of Human Sciences, are spearheading the search of candidates that will help to develop their vision of extension and outreach for the college. “Cathann and I thought quite a bit about how we wanted this position to look,” White said, “and what was important for us is that we expand in what is happening currently to make sure that it encompasses all areas of the college.” Nancy Franz, current associate dean of Extension and Outreach is taking on the new role of director of professional and organizational development. “She’s currently the associate dean for extension to families,” White said. “She’s moving to the central university extension, so that vacates the position here. We took that as an opportunity to redefine what that position encompassed.” Kress explained that in the

past, Extension and Outreach has been focused on only within select departments within the College of Human Sciences. “Our previous associate dean had done such a good job of connecting with different departments in the college, and more and more of them wanted to be part of extension and outreach,” Kress said. Similar Extension and Outreach positions are found in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Engineering and the College of Design. “In those colleges, in fact that was what Dean White noticed, those associate deans work across all departments. It was only in the College of Human Sciences that we were more limited,” Kress said.
Kress and White link this lack of extension and outreach in the College of Human Sciences to factors from the past. “It was just the way the position was funded in the past, but now we’re looking to the future,” White said. “We could have Extension and Outreach that could happen in every area of our college, so why don’t we extend the position so that we can represent everyone in the college?” A nationwide search for potential candidates is being conducted by an 11-member search committee. “They really are a search committee, not a selection committee,” Kress explained. “So they’ve been very busy the last several weeks trying to identify potential candidates

Iowa’s day is a week after the original Regents Day. Iowa did not want to send students to the Capitol two weeks in a row and withdrew from the March 25 date. Northern Iowa, influenced by Iowa’s decision, also pulled out from the first date. “Iowa State felt that Regent universities and the issues we’re faced with now are very dependent on the amount of support that’s shown, and just because one

to encourage them to apply.” Various leaders across campus, as well as leaders across the state of Iowa, comprise this search committee, including representatives from county extension councils, faculty within the College of Human Sciences and those in similar roles, like Timothy Borich, associate dean for extension and outreach for the College of Design. “We were really trying to think about constituencies that would work with this new associate dean,” Kress said. Both Kress and White said that they are excited about the evolution of extension and outreach in the College of Human Sciences. “I think that it really will raise the visibility of the College of Human Sciences,” Kress said. “I just think it’s a terrific opportunity and kind of a win-win for everybody.” Kress explained that Iowa’s counties will benefit from extension and outreach by having access to information that they may not have had in the past, and faculty, as well as students, will be advantaged by opportunities for outreach to Iowa. “We have a lot of internship opportunities out in our counties and there are lots of opportunities for research projects and other types of activities like that,” Kress said. “So everybody, I think, is going to come out better as a result of this evolution.”
Even with the short notice switch, all three universities were represented, but they, too, had smaller numbers. Yesterday was Iowa State’s day, but Bertelson said the title, “Regents Day,” was kept to avoid even more confusion. She also said that yesterday’s gathering was more of a press conference to visit with legislatures on more of a lobbying level as opposed to a large student presence. The original Regents Day of March 25 will still occur, and Iowa State still plans on being present on that date as well. As for the productivity of the meeting being affected from the lack of student attendance, Bertelson said she didn’t think there was too much of a difference. With the Board of Regents meeting the same day, there was a lack in representation from them, as well. “I think we did the best we could do,” said Bertelson. “We knew there were conflicts with this date, but we said we [were] going to keep pushing and keep publicizing regardless of what the other two universities do. I don’t think Iowa State lost any time thinking ‘What are we going to do with this big change?’… We’re committed.”

Political reform necessary
Regents Day important to all students Every year, the ISU Ambassadors, which is the lobbying arm of the Government of the Student Body, puts on a big to-do at the state capitol with similar student groups from the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa. In past years, the ambassadors have put forward notices and announcements about RSVP-ing so that they can charter buses and arrange lunch for attending students. Wednesday was Regents Day and, apart from a few miscellaneous fliers and the Iowa Board of Regents tweeting its news release — which is dated March 11 — on Monday and Tuesday, there was no promotional campaign to organize a show of support for the university system we all supposedly love. In fact, on Wednesday, the members of the Iowa Board of Regents were here in Ames, holding their monthly meeting. Regents Day originally was scheduled for March 25 — the day we return from Spring Break. Unfortunately, it became apparent that Iowa and Northern Iowa would not be able to attend that day’s events. In order to have a unified presence, the lobbying day was moved to Wednesday. Traditionally, the point of Regents Day is to swarm the state capitol with students so that they — the people most immediately affected by legislative decisions about funding for public universities — can interact with state senators and representatives. Although some students from Iowa State, Northern Iowa and Iowa managed to get down to Des Moines on Wednesday, it is unlikely that they had a greater impact than any other lobbying group that uses the capitol’s soaring golden rotunda to host a press conference. We have said that politics is a spontaneous, continuous activity that should be done all the time. We have argued that applies to Regents Day and interactions between the students and the state legislature. Indeed, students should interact with their representatives as much as possible. But in the same way that voting every few years is many Americans’ only political act, for many students, the annual trip to Regents Day is their only opportunity to meet state Sen. Herman Quirmbach or another lawmaker from a district that includes a regent university. Additionally, it might be the students’ only opportunity to step inside Iowa’s beautiful capitol building and learn something about the political process. Talking with a legislator in his or her natural habitat serves the same function as laboratory science. Discussion is the laboratory of politics and, like other sciences, practice and experience make the practitioner better. Frustration and disenchantment with politics is always a latent factor in society, but such feelings have increased as partisan gridlock has become a commonplace in Washington, D.C. It is clear that we are in need of more statesmen and fewer hacks; the number of the former will increase as younger Americans decide to take an interest in the condition and direction of their country. Some of the normal Regents Day activities will take place on March 25. As confusing as this scheduling seems, having such opportunities for students is a good thing.

T
he Republican Party experienced a serious – and rather unexpected – defeat on Nov. 6, 2012, from Mitt Romney’s failed bid for the presidency to several lost seats in both the Senate and House. In the aftermath of this defeat, Republicans at all levels of the political system agreed that the Grand Old Party needs some serious restructuring – or, at the very least, a little introspection. It was proposed that a new approach should be developed for dealing with issues involving the working class, Latinos, and women and adapting to technology within the country’s changing media scene. The party “has to modernize in a whole range of ways,” said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. “We were clearly wrong on a whole range of fronts.” Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts, who lost to Democrat Elizabeth Warren, agreed, saying that the GOP needs to be “a larger-tent party.” But the Republican National Committee continues to scratch its head about how to become a “larger tent.” They aren’t willing to rethink any aspects of the Republican platform; according to chairman of the RNC, Reince Priebus, the party’s main issue is the “biologically stupid things that people say,” referencing Todd Akin’s comments about “legitimate rape.” And while these comments are causing serious problems with the American public’s view of the party, it really comes down to the increasing conservatism of the party itself. The Republican Party is more conservative than it has been in 100 years, with more moderate members of the party being rapidly pushed out; the most recent example being Sen. Olympia Snowe, who left Congress because of her frustration with the party’s increasing narrow-mindedness. The GOP needs to make some serious changes, and most have acknowledged this. But these changes will have to be larger than just

simple tutorials in technology or better word choice when pandering to Hispanic voters. For these changes, the Republican Party should look to Jon Huntsman. Former governor of Utah — and the Mormon, third-cousin of Mitt Romney — Huntsman dropped out of the race for the 2012 Republican nomination for president, calling the current state of the GOP “toxic.” The fact that he was so moderate on issues like foreign relations and civil unions probably didn’t help. But Jon Huntsman has an attitude that isn’t seen very often among today’s politicians; he cares more about going with his gut than about sticking to party agenda. In a recent op-ed, Huntsman declared his support for gay marriage and asked conservatives to “push their states to join the nine others that allow all their citizens to marry,” saying that “there is nothing conservative about denying other Americans the ability to forge that same relationship with the person they love.” Huntsman has received serious flack for straying so far from the party’s current ideals, including being disinvited to speak at Republican events and being asked to be in another state during Republican National Convention. But he is still a proud Republican — just one who isn’t afraid to criticize his own party and certainly isn’t afraid to be himself. (After all, the guy rode a dirt bike in his

Politics
Imminent threat needs definition H ypothetical scenarios are too often held hostage to the wild fringes of imagination. I am sure Rand Paul’s misleading and outlandish comments about the Obama administration’s use of the drone program are subject to such presumptions. But credit is due, as Paul’s 13-hour filibuster of John Brennan’s CIA nomination has started a national discussion on the delicate balance between security and rights. The question about the constitutionality of the government’s use of drones to eliminate an American citizen arose after a rather vague and open-ended statement released by Attorney General Eric Holder. Specifically, the statement “It is possible, I suppose,” for one to imagine a scenario where the use of lethal force within the United States may be “necessary to protect the homeland,” has people crying “Orwell!” As Paul said, “When the president responds that ‘I haven’t killed any Americans yet at home,’ and that ‘I don’t intend to do so, but I might,’ it’s incredibly alarming, and really goes against his oath of office.”

campaign kickoff video, and he dropped out of high school to tour with his band, “Wizard.” Talk about appealing to the common man). “In my party,” Huntsman explains, “compromise cannot be seen as analogous to treason, which it has been recently.” Huntsman suggests that the GOP accept a few more progressive ideas, like acknowledging both evolution and man-made climate change. After all, he says, these issues are inherently Republican; in an interview with Stephen Colbert, Huntsman describes the Republican Party as drawing from many different ‘chapters’ in history, from Teddy Roosevelt’s emphasis on caring for the land to Abraham Lincoln’s value on every person’s individual dignity. Huntsman also says that conducting foreign policy with much more emphasis on diplomacy is in the best interests of both the party and the nation; this is probably good advice, coming from a man who fluently speaks both Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese Hokkein and spent years working as the U.S. ambassador to both Singapore and China, facilitating the entrance of both China and Taiwan into the World Trade Organization. (See him discuss Romney in Mandarin online.) And while Jon Huntsman is a firm believer that serious change is necessary in order for the Republican Party to move forward, he is still firmly committed to the ideals of his party. “I’m one who happens to think we don’t need to turn in on our fundamental Republican principles,” Huntsman said. “We don’t need to run away from our message. … We maybe need to listen a little more than we speak sometimes.”

By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com Though Eric Holder explicitly details that the president does not have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American citizen on U.S. soil, we wonder where the executive branch would feel compelled to use lethal action. As the Department of Justice has noted, the president has authority to defend the nation against an “imminent attack.” The Supreme Court has upheld this authority, as well as what constitutes “necessary force.” Even under international law, a country such as the United States has a right to collectively defend itself (see UN Charter, Chapter 7, Article 51) through its representatives. Unraveling this strand of judicial thinking inevitably leads one to ask, “What, after all, is an ‘imminent attack?’” Even if it is a

question of semantics, who or what defines an “imminent attack?” I am reminded of the death of senior operational leader of the al-Qaida terrorist group and American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki. It was left up to the Office of Legal Counsel, headed by lawyers David Barron and Martin Lederman, to determine whether the United States could lawfully eliminate al-Awlaki. The drafting of a legal justification required Barron and Lederman to combine CIA reports while maneuvering through international and national laws. Even more so, the team very cleverly advised the president to execute the killing through the CIA rather than the Pentagon, which would have required congressional authorization. The CIA, a civilian agency, operates more under the notion of “self-defense.” Thus, defending the country against known traitors such as alAwlaki was found justifiable under the constitutional authority of the executive branch. Still, we are only on the precipice of defining an “imminent threat.” This does not mean the

powers of the executive branch, in eliminating an enemy, are limitless. For now, we can only imagine hypothetical scenarios that would grant the president the authority to execute a citizen on U.S. soil. Eric Holder suggests that the possibility of a 9/11 or Pearl Harbor event would justify such actions. The death of al-Awlaki gives us an indication of how far the Obama administration will go to define an “imminent threat.” Inciting violence against the United States and recruiting terrorists to kill Americans will not be tolerated. Paul has forced us to reexamine the limits of due process and the use of deadly new technology. The rise of terrorism has placed us in a tender position; the preservation of law may require the violation of it. As Abraham Lincoln mused during Civil War when he suspended habeas corpus, “Are all the laws but one to go unexecuted, and the government itself go to pieces, lest that one be violated?”

Jackson’s contract extended through 2015 ISU wrestling coach Kevin Jackson has signed a contract extension through 2015, the athletic department announced Wednesday. Jackson, a former AllAmerican for the Cyclones and Olympic Gold Medalist, put together an impressive turnaround effort for the Cyclones this season. The Cyclones went 11-5 overall and 3-3 in the Big 12 after winning just four matches all of last season. The Cyclones placed second in the Big 12 this season under Jackson, the best finish for the team since the 2009-10 season, which was his first year as coach. Jackson has coached three NCAA champions during his tenure thus far, and has a chance of increasing that number at the NCAA Championships in Des Moines next week. The Cyclones received six automatic bids to wrestle at the tournament, and have a chance at a seventh as the at-large bids are being announced later. The full terms of Jackson’s contract will be available at a later date. – Dan Cole

Cyclones desire Big 12 title By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com
No. 5 Iowa State 21-10, 11-7 Big 12
The ISU men’s basketball team will attempt to do something it hasn’t done in seven years Thursday: Win a game at the Big 12 Championship. With all the parity in the Big 12 has seen this season — not to mention a final regular season weekend where No. 1-seeded Kansas lost by 23 to Baylor, No. 2-seeded Kansas State lost, along with No. 4-seeded Oklahoma losing to TCU — it’s easy to see why ISU coach Fred Hoiberg thinks a Big 12 title is up for grabs. “I think it’s very wide-open,” Hoiberg said. “I think it’ll be a very competitive, fun conference tournament.” Iowa State (21-10, 11-7 Big 12) comes into the conference tournament as the No. 5 seed against No. 4 Oklahoma (20-10. 11-7). One of Iowa State’s best wins on its resume was a 83-64 win against Oklahoma on Feb. 4, then one of its worst losses came 26 days later on the road to

Team ready for spring, outdoors By Ryan.Berg @iowastatedaily.com As one season ends, another begins for the ISU men’s track and field team. The outdoor season begins just one month after the indoor season ended. The indoor season ended with the Big 12 Championships on Feb. 24 for most of the team, while sophomores Nick Efkamp and Edward Kemboi’s season ended during the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday. Efkamp said the time off during the transition to the outdoor season from the indoor season is helpful. “You have to regroup and take a couple weeks off for recovery and do some restingtype workouts and basically start over with less events at

The ISU women’s track and field team prepares to take its talent outdoors. The Cyclones will be off for the next two weekends and are preparing for the beginning of the upcoming outdoor season. The 2013 indoor season was a successful one for the Cyclones as Betsy Saina and Christina Hillman earned All-American honors at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field
Championships last weekend. The women finished ninth in the overall competition. Saina competed in both the 5,000-meter run, in which she finished fourth, and in the 3,000-meter run, where she finished second.

Clyburn, had a similar thought to his coach. During the team’s meeting following the Oklahoma blowout loss, Clyburn said he was called out about his consistency and how he needs to bring his energy every game. After the team meeting, Clyburn went on tear for the final two games of the season, scoring 20 points on 7-for-10 shooting in a 87-76 win against No. 13 Oklahoma State, while capping off the regular season with a 27-point performance against West Virginia. “When we don’t play together, we’re not very good,” Clyburn said. “When we play together we’re a great team — that’s one thing we learned from that beatdown we took.” Now Clyburn and Iowa State will fix two areas exploited by Oklahoma in the second meeting: Rebounding and getting stops. Iowa State allowed Oklahoma to score 40 points in the first half while shooting more than 50 percent from the field and were out-rebounded 33-21. “Stops and rebounds,” Clyburn. “Our offense is always there, we’ve just got to focus on defending and rebounding and I’m thinking we’ll go a long way.” Tipoff is at 11:30 a.m. at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.

In the loss, they only had eight assists on 23 made baskets, a stark contrast in terms of ball movement. A similar thing occurred against West Virginia in Iowa State’s regular season finale 83-74 win last Saturday, tallying 15 assists on 26 made buckets, 14 of which were 3-pointers. In the second half, however, slow ball movement led to Iowa State’s lackluster performance, allowing West Virginia to surge for 54 points and turning a blowout into a nail-biter. “I thought first half against West Virginia that thing was flying around, those first 25 minutes were beautiful offense,” Hoiberg said. “Then we got stagnant and you can see what happens when we don’t move the ball. So you’ve got to have 40 minutes of proper execution, then you’ve got to get back and execute your game plan.” Iowa State’s leading scorer and recently announced Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, Will

ready to take on a new group of challenges. Iowa State’s home for the indoor season, the Lied Recreation Athletic Center, contains a 300-meter track unlike most indoor tracks, which are 200 meters. That will benefit Cyclone runners as they translate into the outdoor season. However, ISU senior distance runner Dani Stack prepares more for the weather elements that the outdoor season presents. “Our indoor track feels like a 400-meter track so that isn’t so much of a change, but we need to prepare for wind, rain and other weather conditions,” said Stack, who also talked about the training program in which she and her teammates will take part. “In training, most of us move onto the 10,000-meter run, which is double what we would run indoors, so our workouts tend to become longer and cater towards 6-mile races instead of 3.” Iowa State will open up the outdoor season sending athletes to three different meets, including the Cal Multis (March 27-28), the Texas Relays and the Stanford Invitational (both March 29-30). Meaghan Nelson, another senior, thinks the Cyclones are prepared and excited for the transition outdoors. “As a group I think we could all say we’re looking forward to having better weather in the spring and we’re ready for all the hard work to pay off,” Nelson said. “It’s a longer season, so there is more time to how all the hard work we put in throughout the indoor season has helped us.”

Some of the different events added when the team moves outdoors are the 100-meter dash, 400-meter hurdles, steeplechase, discus and hammer throw. Along with the competing in different events, throwers will exchange their rubber shots with metal ones outdoors. “I definitely like the metals shots better than the indoor ones we throw,” said freshman Jan Jeuschede. “It just feels better and seems more natural.”

The outdoor season will provide the first opportunity to compete for some athletes and also will be the first time the freshmen will get a chance to compete outdoors. “In high school all we did was compete outdoors so I think the transition will be pretty smooth, but only time will tell,” said freshman Brandon Moorman. A group of multi-event athletes will be at the Cal Multis in Berkeley, Calif., from March 27-28. The rest of the team will begin its season March 29-30 either in Austin, Texas, for the Texas Relays or in Palo Alto, Calif., for the Stanford Invitational.

Students take jazz to new level By CJ.Eilers Amers247 writer
Since 1995, James Bovinette has worked with his students in Jazz Ensemble I to bring out their best in musicianship. “Each student has their own goal,” Bovinette said. “So my goal is to help them reach their goals, to make better consumers of jazz.” Jazz Ensemble I, one of two jazz bands at Iowa State, consists of mostly upperclassmen and meets 2:10 to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays to rehearse material for concerts. Many of these students are music majors, but
other majors are also represented. “For music education majors, being in jazz ensemble gives them the knowledge to teach jazz bands themselves when they become teachers,” Bovinette said. “Performance majors want to improve their playing. It’s a vehicle for non-majors to play in an ensemble.” For Nick Jaegers, senior in chemical engineering, that vehicle is just what he needed when he played in the ensemble for many years. “I really enjoyed playing in jazz band in high school,” Jaegers said. “It was something to get away from engineering classes and enjoy myself with a different subject.”
Although Jaeger could not participate in Jazz Ensemble this semester due to a lab at the same time, he loved the time he spent playing and learning more about jazz music. While he also has participated in marching, concert and symphonic band, Jaeger admits there is something unique about being in the jazz band. “I enjoyed the feeling for jazz,” Jaeger said. “It’s the variety of tunes, the excitement of the tunes.” In addition to Jazz Ensemble I and a second ensemble, Iowa State also has Jazz Combos for members of their ensembles. Bovinette explains that one of the purposes of the three current
combos is to improve on student’s individual abilities like improvisation and expression. “Band and combos are very different in what they play,” Bovinette said. “With a combo, they are communicating with their own ideas, not reading off of a chart.” As for the music they play, Bovinette says that while styles have changed to be influenced more from pop culture and world music, the standards will always be remembered. “It can have Broadway, Afro-Cuban influences, great songs from the American Playbook,” Bovinette said. “Jazz is the melting pot and an American art form.”

File photo: Iowa State Daily A group of students from the ChakRaas dance team perform Dandiya-Raas, a traditional folk dance, during Diwali Night, Nov. 13, 2012, at the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.
Working hard all semester, the ISU ChakRaas dance club is preparing for a traditional Indian Raas and modern Garba dances for the upcoming performances. ChakRaas president and senior in chemical engineering, German Parada, originally from Bogota, Columbia, is working hard to prepare the club for the Global Gala in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union, the Descarga Latin Dance Festival and Veishea performances. “We have been practicing for quite sometime — since the beginning of the semester,” Parada said. “We actually practice twice a week.” Parada said he is very excited to actually be incorporating Garba, a very high-energy and
modern rhythm compared to their traditional style. Club member Divya Navi said she enjoys all of the practices, friends and exciting choreography and is looking forward to the upcoming shows. “This is only my second semester at [Iowa State], and since being in ChakRaas, it’s like you’re part of a bigger family,” Navi said. “It’s a whole new experience every time we perform. I know what it feels like to be on stage with the group, but it’s always different with each performance, I feel like.” To perform these dances, Ishani Pandya, senior in architecture, is the choreographer for ChakRaas. He creates a mix of several famous songs. “The last time we performed was last semester at Diwali,” Parada said. “We have a whole new routine this semester and we are very excited
to perform.” Navi explained that the choreography changes with every song they perform to. “Practices are there to help shape our dancing skills and the choreography is different with every song. Ishani and Yesha are the choreographers. I don’t know how they do it, but they think of some great choreography,” Navi said. With 10 members, the ChakRaas club works very hard each semester to have an exciting routine to perform. “The clothes we use to perform in are usually native Gujarati clothing,” said Kumar Ayushman, club member and senior in industrial engineering. Navi explained the typical dress attire for a woman. “The women wear a typical Ghagra Choli; it’s like a three-piece dress. We have the
blouse, which is embroidered and colorful, teamed with a flared, skirt-like bottom and a dupatta. The whole outfit is decorated with beads, shells, mirrors and stars. All in all, the dresses are beautiful,” Navi said. Ending the semester with their native attire and new choreography, the ChakRaas club will also be performing April 20 at Veishea. And current club members are already excited for the fall season and recruiting new members who love to dance. “Honestly speaking, I wasn’t willing to join at first until Jai Yi and Vivek came to me and asked me. So until you actually experience ChakRaas, you won’t know what it’s like to be part of this dance team. So if you like dancing, then join ChakRaas you won’t regret it,” Navi said.

Music: Luke Bryan
Game: ‘Dead Space 3’
By Maggie McGinity
By Devin Pacini
I don’t know when Luke Bryan first entered college, but it seems to me that he never left. Case and point: “Spring Break ... Here to Party,” Bryan’s new album compilation, featuring the best tracks off his four Spring Break-themed EPs as well as two new songs. If you’re an undergrad about to embark on a 10-day-long party, this album has some perfect tunes for you, whether your celebration is beachy (“Suntan City,” “Shore Thing”) or countrified (“Cold Beer Drinker,” “Little Bit Later On”). Musically, this album is solid. The songs are catchy, the melodies singable, if not a tad boring and predictable. However, these tracks don’t have a shelf life outside of the season of their album’s namesake. This is the perfect album for lovers of Spring Break, but isn’t good for much else.
“Dead Space 3” brings you back into the shoes of Isaac Clarke, the unluckiest guy in the world. He once again is called upon to stop the markers and I’m just surprised that people are still making these things. This time you’re on an ice planet so at least he has a change of scenery. However, the gameplay is still pretty much the same. There are a couple changes that I didn’t like. The first being that ammo has become universalized, the second being micro-transactions, and the third being multiplayer. Now I didn’t actually get to play multiplayer, but I didn’t like an ending being withheld from me just because I didn’t have someone to play the game with. I’m hoping EA can bring back the old feel of “Dead Space,” but I’m talking about EA so I won’t hold my breath.
Movie: ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ By Gabriel Stoffa Something in me was so excited to see a prequel for “The Wizards of Oz.” I assumed “Oz the Great and Powerful” would be almost as good the stage version of “Wicked”; the actual book is way better than any theater production. “Oz the Great and Powerful” is good. It was fantastically beautiful to look at. I actually enjoyed the movie in 3-D, more so than any other 3-D film of late. The plot was more predictable than necessary and a bit ho-hum overall. It is targeted at families with little kids. But as it stands, I wanted a bit more of an adult theme like “Wicked.” The movie should be applauded for being a well-done prequel. But if you wanted something “Wicked”-esque, then look elsewhere.
