Student Government

Juggling club extensions gain funding By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer The ISU Juggling and Unicycling Club was allocated $734.88 from the Government of the Student Body Senate discretionary account at Wednesday’s meeting. The club was in need of new items in order to keep expanding its membership and repair equipment. The group plans on buying glow in the dark juggling balls, Kevlar torch tips, renegade clubs and a Nimbus 29-inch Unicycle. A representative from the club said the unicycle is made to be able to ride for long distances and several members have expressed an interest in possibly unicycling through the coming RAGBRAI. The senate voted on funding capital items to the GSB ITS media committee. The bill originally called for the transfer of

Risk and reward

Editor’s note: This is the second part in a three-part series detailing ISU alumnus Dwight Ink’s career serving seven presidents as a public administrator. The first part relayed Ink’s experiences working at the Atomic Energy Commission, while the second part includes Ink’s employment under Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. The final installment will discuss Ink’s lasting relationship with Iowa State. By Sarah Haas Daily Staff Writer

When a 9.2-magnitude earthquake lifted or sank more than 50,000 square miles of Alaska an average of five feet, President Lyndon Johnson appointed ISU alumnus Dwight Ink to lead the recovery effort. “The best experience in my career was the Alaska recovery effort because it succeeded,” said

Ink, who served seven presidents. “A whole state would have gone belly up and close to half the people would have abandoned the state had we not acted swiftly. It would have been a mess for years.” The 1964 quake devastated the Alaskan economy, which was fragile because Alaska had only been admitted to statehood in 1959. The young economy was heavily reliant on fishing. In addition to causing the destruction of fishing boats and canneries, the quake altered the depth of some of Alaska’s harbors. Ink said some harbors were either too shallow for boats or too deep for breakwaters to protect the boats. Thousands of businesses and homes were damaged beyond repair, while the infrastructure, including water, sewer, communications and roads, were obliterated. Many worried inflation would cause the state to become obsolete. Johnson appointed Ink executive director of the recovery efforts for the Federal Reconstruction and Development Planning Commission for Alaska and worked in tandem with a temporary commission composed of politicians and cabinet members. The purpose of the commission was to

work with state and local leaders to develop and facilitate plans for reconstruction and economic development. The commission provided political leadership and developed the recovery policies while the staff, headed by Ink, conducted the commission’s day-to-day operations. To say Ink and the commission had their hands full is an extreme understatement, especially because the window for construction in Alaska is severely hampered by dismal winter conditions. “People are too timid. They get discouraged easily,” Ink said. “Well, there are some things you can’t do, but there are an awful lot of things you can do. If something needs to be done, you go out and do it, but you have to be creative. You have to be innovative. You have to be willing to take some risks.” Ink said the response to the earthquake was atypical, because Johnson appointed members of his cabinet to the recovery effort in order to expedite work necessary to help Alaskans. The speed of the recovery was unprecedented because the

Ames City Council held a brief meeting Tuesday in which the members heard a number of updates for community projects — including an update on when the next steps to continue with the Intermodal Transportation Facility will take place. The council approved a motion to approve the Intermodal Transportation Facility conceptual design contract with Neumann Monson architectural firm for an amount no more than $68,500. The money acquired from the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery Grant will not be available until May 17. The Federal Transit Administration must approve a smaller phased design proposal on May 17. The city therefore approved the motion to hire an architect to work with the project team to

Board of Regents

Regents target athletics, efficiency By Zach Thompson Daily Staff Writer The Board of Regents convened in a telephone meeting Wednesday and received several reports from departments at each of the regents’ institutions and asking the institutions’ leadership to begin formulating plans to tackle several issues that continue to press the cut-stricken institutions. A motion proposed by Board President David Miles that the universities formulate plans to “substantially reduce or eliminate” state appropriated funds used for the schools’ athletics programs passed unanimously and without discussion — requiring the universities’ presidents to submit assessments, plans and time lines for making the changes at the board’s meeting in September. The state’s appropriations currently subsidize utility, administrative and overhead costs associated with the schools’ athletics programs. ISU Athletics Director Jamie Pollard wrote in

an e-mail to athletics department donors and season ticket-holders Tuesday that the program currently receives only 3.7 percent of its total budget — or $1.6 million — through state appropriations, and that this amount has decreased from 12 percent — $3.4 million — since 2005. Pollard assured the recipients that “the proposal will actually have a minimal impact on our athletics program.” Miles also proposed the regents and their institutions continue to work to identify inefficiencies and cost-savings measures that can be addressed inter-institutionally and to explore opportunities to collaborate within and between the institutions. Miles said the institutions should focus on possibilities in the areas of information technology resources, purchasing, human resources and facilities management. Miles requested the institutions restrain themselves to the principles of maintaining or improv-

Students address deans By Tyler Kingkade Daily Staff Writer

Wednesday afternoon Michael Whiteford, dean of the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and Wendy Wintersteen, dean of the College of Agriculture, addressed concerns of the sociology department. The sociology department is facing the largest budget cut on campus with an expected slice of at least 40 percent. Graduate students dressed in black shirts with custom stickers filled one-third of the seating in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union and posed many of their concerns directly to the deans. Whiteford attempted to convey the recent history of annual budget cutting exercises as state funding for regent universities in Iowa has fallen consistently over 10 years while tuition has overtaken tax dollars as the largest source of revenue for the university. The deans insisted a restructuring of departments would be needed and that process was in the hands of each department. Both Whiteford and Wintersteen said restructuring would be necessary and the plan for how to proceed forward with the funding departments would have would be up to faculty, students and staff. “We don’t have a plan,” Wintersteen said. Wintersteen expressed bridge funding would be a top priority to ensure funding for current students during these “unfortunate” and “difficult” times. Wintersteen’s sustainable agriculture department is facing a 39 percent cut. Wintersteen said that enrollment and student clock hours were considered. “When the state chooses to make the regent institutions the last priority, in terms of funding, then this is what happens,” Wintersteen said. The sociology department has the highest amount of students’ clock hours with 326.

Claudia Prado-Meza, an international graduate student in sociology, stood and said she was born in 1980 in Mexico during one of Mexico’s worst economic climates. “From there on it was a bad economical situation, we haven’t had a good time in Mexico since I was born,” PradoMeza said. “I think you need to have a different way to address this,” she said. “We are not numbers. You need to understand that you are hurting people when you give news like this.” “We feel that we are being targeted,” said Roshan Malik, graduate student in sociology. Whiteford said nearly 90 percent of the budgets are in salaries. Kristen Wenke, graduate student in sociology, challenged the rise of administration salaries while tuition has risen and budgets have been cut. “Can you explain from 2006, why Dean Whiteford, you’ve had a $27,000 salary increase, and Dean Wintersteen why you’ve had a $36,000 salary increase?” Wenke asked during the meeting. Wenke said she felt cuts always affected the most vulnerable, referring to students and staff, instead of administrative positions. Wintersteen said they have taken furloughs like many others, and Whiteford expressed their administrations had some of the leanest in terms of support staff. “The provost is very concerned on making sure salaries are very competitive with our peers,” Whiteford said. The deans said the departments can no longer operate like they have in the past. Department Chair Paul Lasley said, “[The budget] is about half as much as it was when I started here in 1980.” Penn State, Ohio State and about a dozen other faculty chairs from around the country have contacted Lasley since their budget cuts went public.

“What you’re doing we think we’re going to have to do next year,” Lasley said. “In this decision we said that the department of sociology will be significantly smaller, the cut has to represent that,” Wintersteen said. “That’s fine to think about the future and make plans, but I’m here now,” said graduate student Mary Popma. It was later added that the restructuring being suggested would take years to complete effectively. Wintersteen said they would know the financial needs going forward more clearly once the Iowa legislature adjourns in mid-April. Whiteford said, “Several years from now this institution will look very different, and we don’t think it will be as good of an institution.” Anna Kosloski, graduate student in sociology and president of the ISU Students of Sociology,

said a lot of questions remained unanswered. “The graduate students have been caught in the middle of a much larger issue,” Kosloski said. “The way that they’ve asked the departments to restructure, we’re highly vulnerable. We have 70 graduate students and many are funded, so our livelihoods are wrapped up in this university.” The SOS has been gathering consistently as a group and attending many dean and faculty meetings since the budget cut talks began in October 2009 and coordinated their dress Wednesday to show solidarity and gain visibility. The deans encouraged the departments to work together to figure out how to reconfigure their programs going forward. The target for which they’d need to complete a plan would be July 1 and July 1, 2011, as cuts are foreseen for both of the upcoming fiscal years.

Sheri Kyras, CyRide transit director, answered council member Peter Orazem’s question about how the project team plans to go from the original $39 million proposal to $8 million. She said next week there will be a two-day workshop to decide some of the details. Kyras also noted the workshop will discuss how to maximize parking and have some sort of transportation component. The volunteer organization Ames Foundation presented council with a plan to beautify downtown Ames. Member Joyce Vegge spoke on behalf of the organization Tuesday and presented plans to build a decorative archway at Main Street and Duff Avenue. The group also has plans to replant gardens along Main Street.

commission’s policy decisions were made swiftly and handed to Ink to execute. Ink and his field workers’ openness with Alaskans was also key to their success. The recovery efforts organized by Ink and the commission were positively received and Ink’s recovery plan is still lauded as the best way to manage a natural disaster. “They operated so effectively that reconstruction was basically completed and all major public facilities were back in operation before the construction season ended, setting peacetime record,” wrote Barclay Jones, Cornell University professor of city and regional planning and regional science, in a Multidisciplinary Center for “Earthquake Engineering Research” publication. “In spite of the time pressures, facility standards were upgraded and mitigation was given far more attention than in any previous disaster reconstruction.” In fact, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Ink analyzed the “shocking failure of all three levels of government to meet their obligations to the public” in an article he wrote for the “Public Administration Review” in 2006. Provost Elizabeth Hoffman said Ink is modest about the importance of his accomplishments in his work in Alaska. “He designed the entire disaster recovery effort. The plan he put together was the disaster plan model that was given to Obama during the transition,” Hoffman said. “His model for public management is to get the most done at the lowest cost.” After Ink returned from his assignment in Alaska, he went to work for Johnson in another capacity: organizing a brand new department of the U.S. government, the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Johnson’s War on Poverty aimed to curtail the 19 percent poverty rate for individual Americans that plagued the country. “It was kind of fun to be tapped by the president for a special job,” Ink said. “Lyndon Johnson had high hopes for HUD and he needed someone to organize it, and organize it in a hurry and I had been so successful in Alaska that he decided to appoint me to do so.” Given the title assistant sec-

retary for administration, Ink began to organize the inner workings of HUD. He said the department was set up differently than any other cabinet department because it depended on more professional management than political appointees. “I made one big mistake in organizing HUD and it grew out of the fact that we were gradually, unevenly but gradually, gaining greater management power in the federal government, starting with Eisenhower,” Ink said. “The career leadership were being given greater assignments.” Johnson and President Dwight Eisenhower were willing to trust the capabilities of career public administrators, yet others, including President John F. Kennedy, did not trust the career service as much, Ink said. “A lot of political academia will tell you that’s outdated, but they’re wrong,” Ink said. “We set up a department in which the operations were carried out by the field. We set up these regional offices and the regional directors were put at the top of the career level. Instead of centralizing leadership in Washington, we shifted some high-level positions to the field.” The department’s headquarters dealt with policy and field offices with the execution of policy, which meant the field leaders were chosen on the basis of merit rather than on a political basis. For the first four years the system worked well, and HUD was granted power to enforce anti-housing discrimination and expanded the availability of mortgage funds for moderate income families. But eventually HUD was overwrought with a series of scandals that would lead to the department transforming “from being the poster child, to being the one most ridiculed,” Ink said. Under President Richard Nixon’s appointee, George Romney, the department failed to prevent fraud and instead caught it after it happened. “By the time Reagan came in, the department was a mess,” Ink said. He worked intimately with Nixon and led Nixon’s effort to put a number of government management reforms in place that would restructure the Executive Office of the President and domestic departments and agencies. Ink applauded Nixon’s initial interest in making do-

The items cut included a sound system and Blu-ray players for an outside projection screen. As a result, $20,300 was transferred to the GSB ITS media committee. The senate voted on funding Earth Day events. The Council of Sustainability is asking GSB to contribute $500 to bring Gabrielle Louise to campus.

ing the quality of the institutions, substantially reducing reoccurring costs and improving services for participants, to avoid introducing complexities or risk to infrastructure, business processes or end-user experiences, paying more for a service or good than they would otherwise obtain on their own and the consolidations should occur where they make sense. Miles received unanimous approval from the board to direct regents business operations staff to identify possible projects that could be presented to the board at its April meeting.

The Ames Foundation hopes to raise $50,000 for the project and began fundraising initiatives Wednesday. “We feel that everyone will benefit from the beautification project,” Vegge said. The council offered its unanimous support of the project. The beatification is not only about “street-scaping the Main Street District” but also promoting city pride, Vegge said. The council also heard an update on the cost of winter snow and ice removal for the 2009 and 2010 winter season. Staff said there was about 60 inches of snowfall this winter and came in about $200,000 over budget for snow and ice control. The staff also said this winter was “unusual” because the snow and ice removal vehicle fleet was required to, at one point during the winter, be on the roads for 24 hours straight. In preparation for next winter, it was recommended that council approve a motion to purchase 700 tons of salt.

mestic issues important to his presidency, but he soon grew uncomfortable with Nixon’s restructuring. “The fourth year of the first term made me very uneasy with the Nixon administration,” Ink said. “They were beginning to press political appointees out in the field. They were beginning to replace career management people with political appointees. And there were other things that were beginning to make me very uneasy.” Ink said Nixon stood up to pressure better than any other president he had worked with and felt that Nixon could have “turned out to be an honest, highly respected person” if he hadn’t let his staff “do things that shouldn’t have happened” and turn a blind eye. “I think Watergate was a case that he would not have approved of what happened, but he was very clearly involved in the cover up,” Ink said. After Nixon was reelected, Ink said Nixon and his staff worked in “self-imposed isolation” to restructure the executive branch, which had failed in congress due to the Watergate scandal. These new measures “concentrated power in the White House and reduced the role of the departments,” which was counter to what Ink had worked for previously. With Nixon’s resignation, Ink again moved on to another department in need of assistance, this time serving as the acting administrator of the General Services Administration under President Gerald Ford. He took a break from government and returned to assist President Jimmy Carter in restructuring the Civil Service in order to enhance accountability. He was also appointed by Ronald Reagan to close down the Community Service Administration. “There are really not that many dead end jobs in the federal government,” Ink said. “In most cases you can make what might seem like a dead end job into a truly interesting and useful, and often exciting, job.” ™

Yesterday’s paper featured the first part of Ink’s story, which can be read at iowastatedaily.com

The Council of Sustainability will be contributing $200 and Keep Iowa State Beautiful will be funding $100 of the event. The senate then moved into finalizing regular allocations for the 2010-11 academic year. The senate pulled several groups including the LGBTA Alliance, Green Umbrella Organization, Cyclone Ballroom, Collegiate 4-H, Entrepreneur Club, Ethos, Freshman Council, Black Student Council, SAE International, Rodeo Club, Student Organic Farm, Ski and Snowboard Club, Habitat for Humanity, International Student Council and GSB. The groups who were pulled from the bill will have their budgets looked at individually by the GSB. Nearly 125 groups who were not pulled from the bill for questioning received the funding that was on the bill.

Other actions taken by the Board of Regents: ■■ Approved purchase of seven resonance mass spectrometers for the department of biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology for $1,100,085, which will allow faculty to do research for a National Science Foundation grant. ■■ Changed the names of the bachelor of science program in apparel, merchandising, design and production to the bachelor of science program in apparel, merchandising and design; and the master of science and Ph.D. programs in textiles and clothing to the master of science and Ph.D. programs in apparel, merchandising and design. ■■ Changed the names of the bachelor of science program in hotel, restaurant, and institution management to the bachelor of science program in hospitality management; and the master of science and Ph.D. programs in food service and lodging management to the master of science and Ph.D. programs in hospitality management. ■■ Approved extending the deadline for faculty and staff to apply for the second retirement incentive option program from March 31 to June 1.

Health

Cancer rises as killer IOWA CITY — Researchers at the University of Iowa College of Public Health have determined cancer has surpassed heart disease as the leading cause of death in Iowa. State Health Registry of Iowa medical director Dr. Charles Lynch said Wednesday this is the first time in 36 years of surveillance more Iowans died of cancer, using age-adjusted rates. The researchers used 2007 data, the most recent available. That year, 177 per 100,000 Iowans died of cancer, compared to 173 per 100,000 for

heart disease. Researchers report deaths from both diseases declined since 1994 due to fewer people smoking, earlier detection of diseases and improved treatments. The report projects in 2010, 3,100 Iowa women and 3,300 Iowa men will die of cancer. It also projects 8,000 new cancers will be diagnosed in women and 8,400 for men in the United States this year.

Flood

Downtown prepares CEDAR RAPIDS — With a permanent flood protection system about 10 years from completion, businesses in downtown Cedar Rapids are considering their own temporary solutions. Downtown business owners are seeking an alternative to sandbags, which take time to fill

and stack. Great America Building property manager Connie Chapman says massive flooding in Cedar Rapids in June 2008 prompted her to look for alternatives to sandbags, which she said were scarce during flooding. Some businesses will turn to

water-filled rubber bags. Intermec site director Rob Chambers said the company could use the bags to try to protect a $300,000 electronic research chamber that was damaged in 2008, if protecting the entire building proves impossible.

Criminal Activity

Culver signs warrant bill DES MOINES — Iowa Gov. Chet Culver has signed a bill into law that would require hospitals to notify police when releasing someone with an outstanding warrant. The legislation was sparked by the killing of Aplington-Parkersburg High School football coach Ed Thomas. He was shot to death last June by former player Mark Becker, who had been released from the mental health unit of a Waterloo hospital a day be-

fore the killing. The 24-year-old Becker was convicted earlier this month of first-degree murder. Culver signed the bill Wednesday at a ceremony attended by Thomas’ family, who had encouraged legislators to support the measure. Hospitals could be fined $1,000 for the first violation of the rule and $2,000 for an additional violation.

Aftermath of health bill incites vigilantism By Emily Wagster Pettus Associated Press Writer Unrest over sweeping federal health care legislation has turned to vandalism and threats, with bricks hurled through Democrats’ windows, a propane line cut at the home of a congressman’s brother and menacing phone messages left for lawmakers who supported the bill. The FBI is investigating the instances, which include shattered windows at four Democratic offices in New York, Arizona and Kansas. At least 10 members of Congress have reported some sort of threat as of Wednesday, and no arrests have been made. The brick that was flung through the window of a county Democratic Party office in Rochester, N.Y., over the weekend had a note attached: “Exremism in defense of liberty is no vice,” roughly quoting 1964 Republican presidential nominee Barry Goldwater. A New York congresswoman whose office window also was smashed with a brick accused the Republican leadership of failing to denounce attacks against lawmakers who supported the legislation. The vandalism was at Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter’s district office in Niagara Falls early Friday, two days before the House passed the health care overhaul bill. “It’s more disturbing to me that Republican leadership has

not condemned these attacks and instead appears to be fanning the flames with coded rhetoric,” said Slaughter, a key supporter of the bill. House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said in a statement that while many Americans are angry over the bill’s passage, “violence and threats are unacceptable.” “That’s not the American way,” Boehner said. “We need to take that anger and channel it into positive change.” The FBI and Capitol Police were briefing Democratic lawmakers on how to handle perceived security threats, said House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md. Those who feel they are at risk will be “getting attention from the proper authorities,” Hoyer said, declining to say whether any are receiving extra security. Normally only those in leadership positions have personal security guards. At a news conference in Washington, Hoyer said people have yelled that Democratic lawmakers should be put on firing lines and posters have appeared with lawmakers in the cross hairs of a target. While not directly criticizing Republicans, Hoyer said that “any show of appreciation for such actions encourages such action.” Gun imagery was used in a posting on the Facebook page of Sarah Palin urging people to organize against 20 House Democrats who voted for the health

care bill and whose districts went for the John McCain-Palin ticket two years ago. Palin’s post featured a U.S. map with circles and cross hairs over the 20 districts. Some of the anger over the bill spilled over in a flood of obscenity and threat-filled phone and fax messages to the office of Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich. His office released some of the messages it has received since the health care bill passed, declining to add further comment. “I hope you bleed ... [get] cancer and die,” one male caller told the congressman between curses. A fax with the title “Defecating on Stupak” carried a picture of a gallows with “Bart [SS] Stupak” on it and a noose attached. It was captioned, “All Baby Killers come to unseemly ends Either by the hand of man or by the hand of God.” The vandalism and threats surprised a researcher at a think tank that monitors extremist groups. “I think it is astounding that we are seeing this wave of vigilantism,” said Mark Potok of the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center. In Virginia, someone cut a propane line leading to a grill at the Charlottesville home of U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello’s brother after the address was posted online by activists angry about the health care overhaul. The FBI and local authorities were investigating.

Nuclear Arms

Russia, US close to signing treaty By Lynn Berry Associated Press Writer MOSCOW — The United States and Russia have reached an agreement on “all documents� necessary to sign a new nuclear arms treaty, a senior Kremlin official said Wednesday — and the White House said the two nations are “very close� to signing it. Czech officials announced that Prague will host the signing of the new U.S.-Russian treaty to reduce longrange nuclear weapons that would replace the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. They did not give a date. President Obama spent an hour Wednesday in the White House briefing Democratic Sen. John Kerry, chair-

man of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Sen. Richard Lugar, the committee’s ranking Republican. Both would play major roles in Senate ratification of the emerging treaty. Two senior U.S. officials in Washington said there were still technical issues to resolve in an “annex� to the main treaty, but predicted no hurdles to completing the entire deal within days. They spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive discussions. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs and the Kremlin official said a final agreement is not likely until Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev speak again, most likely in the coming days. Gibbs said last time they spoke about the treaty was March 13.

The Kremlin source, speaking by telephone to The Associated Press, said all the documents, including the treaty, have been agreed upon. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said last week that the treaty was 20 pages long, with an extensive protocol attached. The Russian ambassador to Prague, Alexey Fedotov, told Czech President Vaclav Klaus the date for the signing, to be released later, Klaus’ office said. Prague was the city where Obama committed the United States last April to seeking “a world without nuclear weapons.� As part of that strategy, Obama shook hands with Medvedev last summer on plans to reduce sharply both countries’ nuclear stockpiles.

NATO

The leaders had hoped to enshrine the new limits in a replacement for the 1991 START accord, but that treaty expired in December as talks dragged on. Negotiations, which have been under way in Geneva, are centered on disputes over verification measures and Russia’s objection to U.S. missile defense plans for Europe. Russian negotiators have balked at including some intrusive weapons verification measures in the new treaty. The Obama administration has warned that without these, Senate ratification could prove difficult. Any agreement would need to be ratified by the legislatures of both countries and would still leave each with a large number of nuclear weapons, both

deployed and stockpiled. The expired START treaty, signed by Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and President George H.W. Bush, required each country to cut its nuclear warheads by at least one-fourth, to about 6,000, and to implement procedures for verifying that each side was sticking to the agreement. The two sides pledged to continue to respect the expired treaty’s limits on nuclear arms and allow inspectors to continue verifying that both sides were living up to the deal. Obama and Medvedev agreed in July to cut the number of nuclear warheads each possesses to between 1,500 and 1,675 within seven years as part of a broad new treaty.

Abuse Claims

Germans criticize Pope concerning Catholic scandal By Victor L. Simpson Associated Press Writer VATICAN CITY — Germans are asking just when Pope Benedict XVI might say something about the clerical abuse scandal rocking the Catholic church in his native country. As the scandal has intensified in recent weeks, he chose not to say anything Wednesday during his weekly public audience, an occasion when he offers greetings and issues pronouncements in nine languages. He took advantage of St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 to send his greetings to the Irish, and expressing his regrets over a decades-old scandal in that country and announce he was signing a special letter on clerical abuse addressed to Irish faithful. German Catholics hoped he might make an allusion to them in the Irish letter, but he didn’t. More than 300 former students in German Catholic schools and choirs have come forward since January with abuse claims. The country’s government announced Wednesday it will form an expert 40-member committee to investigate. The allegations have come almost daily, including Wednesday, when the Munich archdiocese confirmed that another person claims to have been molested as a youth in 1998 by a priest who was previously convicted of abuse, the Rev. Peter Hullermann. The church’s management of Hullermann’s

tion where we remove the only source of income for people in the second poorest country in the world without providing an alternative source of income,� NATO spokesman James Appathurai said Wednesday in Brussels. With the harvest season starting, the poppy crop will be the first real test of the military’s control of the town of 80,000. Poppies give residents a reason to support the Taliban because the insurgents buy the crop. NATO officials say it’s slow but that the troops in Marjah are making drug busts on patrols and whittling down the illegal business. “We are making finds, we are making arrests and we are making progress,� said Wing Commander Richard Connelly of the British Royal Air Force.

MARJAH, Afghanistan — Curbing the Taliban’s multimillion dollar opium poppy business was a major goal of a military operation to seize this former insurgent stronghold. With the town in NATO hands, the Marines face a conundrum: If they destroy the crops and curb the trade, they lose the support of the population — a problem for which they have no easy solution. U.S., Afghan and NATO forces that stormed Marjah in February were ordered to seize large opium stashes but leave farmers’ poppy fields alone. Destroying crops and farmers’ livelihood would undermine the broader goal of winning the support of a population that embraced the Taliban over an

ineffective Afghan government. “We just let them grow it,� said Capt. Carl Havens, the 38-year-old commander of Alpha Company of the 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment. “If we just went in and destroyed every poppy field, then they’d immediately turn against us.� Before the offensive, the military estimated Marjah’s poppy crop was worth about $40 million, said Lt. Col. Jeff Rule, the head of current operations for the Marines in Helmand province. Nationwide, the Taliban earn about $300 million a year from the opium trade, according to the United Nations. Afghan government officials in Kabul say they’d like to start destroying crops immediately, but are holding back in Marjah because the town is still so volatile. “We cannot be in a situa-

case overlaps with the time that Benedict, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, served as Munich archbishop from 1977 to 1982. A spokeswoman for a prominent German Catholic activist group criticized the pope Wednesday for his silence. “It is almost painful to see how this topic is being excluded,� Sigrid Grabmeier from “We Are The Church� told The Associated Press. The Vatican operates on its own agenda, regardless of calls from public opinion and the news media. Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Bishop John Magee on Wednesday — an aide to three popes before assignment in Ireland — who has been accused of endangering children by failing to follow the Irish church’s own rules on reporting suspected pedophile priests to police. The Vatican offered a concert for the pope on his name day — St. Joseph — on Friday. In a show of solidarity the pope invited his older brother, Georg, who has been touched by the abuse scandal. Monsignor Georg Ratzinger admitted he slapped children years ago when he led a renowned choir in Regensburg, Germany. The pope made brief remarks on faith and the beauty of music, but again without referring to developments in Germany. Benedict appears to have an uneasy relationship with his homeland. In five years as pope he has yet to make an official visit to Germany.

Politics:

Prepare for more March madness as women play And then there were 16. Yes, the ISU women have done it again, marching their way through the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament and into the Sweet 16 for the second straight year and fifth time ever, all since Bill Fennelly took over as coach of the struggling program in 1995. When the season began, expectations were low. The Big 12s coaches predicted the Cyclones to finish seventh in the conference — they finished the regular season tied for second. The “Twister Sisters,” as they’re affectionately known, even compiled a record of 25–7, better than last year’s mark even though the 2008–’09 team played its way into the Elite Eight. Those low expectations were probably deserved — Fennelly had to replace eight players who left, including the bulk of the offensive production and was doing so with four freshmen and a junior college transfer. No one knew what kind of production the Cyclones would be getting from those newcomers. Six-foot-7-inch freshman center Anna Prins stormed onto the scene and into the starting lineup and became an instant hit. Prins averaged nearly 10 points and just more than four rebounds per game on her way to being named to the Big 12 All-Freshmen team. Chelsea Poppens also made a name for herself, starting in 29 of the Cyclones’ 32 games this year and becoming the team’s leading rebounder with 7.2 boards per game on her way to becoming a fan favorite. That’s not even talking about the surprising play of newcomers Amanda Zimmerman and Jessica Schroll, who have given Fennelly depth and production from his young bench that no one thought the team would have coming into the season. Then, there’s the experience of the team. The ones who have been here before. Junior Kelsey Bolte and seniors Alison Lacey and Denae Stuckey carried the team through the rough stretches of the season, and guided an 11-game winning streak in the middle of the long season. Led by a First Team All-Big 12 performance from Lacey and consistently strong play from Bolte — who earned Big 12 Honorable Mention honors — built the Cyclones’ rank as high as No. 13 and a No. 4 seeding in the Dayton Region of the NCAA Tournament. But, now, the Cyclones must face the Connecticut Huskies — the undefeated and virtually unmatched UConn Huskies. Defending champion UConn, led by Big East Player of the Year Tina Charles, has not only won 74-straight games coming into the regional semifinal matchup, but none of the 74 have been played within a 10-point margin. The Huskies have also qualified for their 17th consecutive berth in the Sweet 16 under coach Geno Auriemma, who in his 24 seasons at UConn has won six national championships. Yeah, that can be a little intimidating. But, we don’t think there’s any reason the ISU women can’t take care of business Sunday in Dayton, Ohio. That’s right, anything can happen at this wonderful time of year. This March has been especially “mad” — remember when UNI beat Kansas? — and all good things, such as 74-game winning streaks, must come to an end. And, while no one has given the Huskies a good fight in the last two seasons, they haven’t seen anything like a cyclone. At least not yet. Editor in Chief

Specifics overshadowed Political hyperbole misleads, polarizes our representation

P

olitical conversations have a measure of emotion behind them. While anyone is entitled to their convictions, the diversion from fact into feeling can cause a virulent inflation of facts, blatant misrepresentation and hyperbole. If the Health Insurance Reform debate has taught us anything, it’s this: hyperbole (extravagant exaggeration) not only misleads the American people, it polarizes politics and prevents our representatives from representing us. While some of the hyperbole used in the recent debate possesses applications in proper context, the question is whether or not that “proper context” includes the current political situation. In the debate over HR 3200, “tyranny,” “takeover” and “socialism” are just three of the hyperbolic terms used to describe reform efforts. Now, in the face of such criticism, any rational citizen should ask, “is this bill making legal any measures that might compromise my liberty as an American citizen?” This addresses the question of whether or not “tyranny,” “takeover” and “socialism” are appropriate in the reform bill context. If you break it down term-byterm, the answer is simple: No, they are not. According to Medterms.com, socialized medicine is a “system of health care in which all health personnel and health facilities, including doctors and hospitals, work for the government and draw salaries from the government,” such as the one present in

Great Britain. While a social insurance program was considered early in the debate, the concept of undoing the private industry to replace it with a social insurance program is quickly squashed when one considers the provisions in the bill that are directed at keeping individuals in the private system; for example, the inclusion of subsidies designed to get low-income Americans into a private policy under section 1201. The concept of tyranny, according to Princeton’s WordNet, is “absolutism: Dominance through threat of punishment and violence,” which the policies of the bill do not even begin to approach. All Americans still possess the freedom to choose their insurance company, and in fact possess even greater freedom of choice without any language of retribution for doing so. This, simply by definition, is not “tyranny.” The third term, “takeover,” is generally directed at the insurance mandate and usually refers to the constitutionality of the bill. While leveraging fines against those who refuse to purchase insurance could be considered unconstitutional- as South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster believes- one needs to examine context if one is to accept this language. Under the Bush administration and the Patriot Act, we saw violations of the first, fourth and sixteenth amendments alongside the invasion of right to privacy provisions implied in the legal

language of the Constitution. Judicial rulings, such as those of Judge Audrey Collins in 2004 and Judge Ann Aiken in 2007, have already surfaced finding provisions of the act unconstitutional. John Boehner (R-OH), who referred to the Health Insurance Reform bill as unconstitutional multiple times, voted yes to make the Patriot Act permanent according to OnTheIssues.org. I will not disagree that the insurance mandate may violate the constitution, but if one is to examine the language, one needs to examine the context. Multiple violations of the Constitution may not even be reasonably referred to as a “takeover” of our liberties, therefore how can HR 3200? This does not excuse the possible violation of the Constitution of course, however, it highlights the disparity between articulated reality through hyperbole and actual reality through detail. A more appropriate word for the insurance mandate may be “controversial.” Some legal minds, such as Henry McMaster believe it is unconstitutional, while some, such as William Treanor, the dean of Fordham University’s law school, believe it falls in line with Congress’ power to regulate interstate commerce. Why is the language used in our political dialogue so important? Because our language conveys the specifics, scale and scope of our ideas, and when voters are misled on all three of these, they are not getting the message. They are being lied to. Newsweek demonstrated this disparity between fact and attack rhetoric when they conducted a study showing that while Americans initially disapprove of the bill, they agree with most of its provisions and then approve of it after being read

the details. Furthermore, the more a candidate like John Boehner trumpets such purist language, the less mobility he has in a political situation. Consider this: If John Boehner votes for health insurance reform that includes any of the provisions he fought, he will immediately appear to be contradicting himself. Any bill that approves subsidies for health insurance or imposes some kind of legislative mandate on consumers- regardless of the potential benefit for his constituents- cannot be signed due to the political backlash he would incur. For this reason, he has no option but to stick to this purist view and vote as such, drawing those who agree with him into a more polarized and ideological camp. This could potentially prohibit his future opportunities to make decisions that- while prudent and potentially beneficial to his constituents- may appear to contradict his rhetoric from the recent debate. Ultimately, his language has done him in. He and his numerous Republican colleagues have inflated the language of the debate in such a manner that they have effectively, for all intents and purposes, lied to their constituents. Furthermore, they have managed to paint themselves into a corner, limiting their political mobility for times when they may need to make a decision that, while benefiting their constituents, contradicts their apparent beliefs. At the end of the day, however, the bill has passed. The future will soon bear out whether the American people have checked the facts, or whether we are as susceptible to the hype as John Boehner believes we are.

Census impacts students’ futures A merica saw a great deal of change during the past decade. Cities boomed, financial markets burst, and a new generation of citizens faced a gritty world. Now, it’s time for the massive informationgathering decennial; it’s time for the census. For most college students, 2010 marks the first time they will directly participate in the census. And it will be vital one for both University of Iowa enrollees and their collegiate compatriots around the country. The census represents a chance for the youth of America to shape political representation, properly allocate governmental funding, and even affect student-loan programs. Furthermore, 2010 census data will be used to allot more than $400 billion per year to local, state, and tribal governments. We urge students to take a few minutes to fill out this decisive document, if they haven’t done so already. Citizens must fill out the physical form and mail it in; they cannot fill one out online. “What [students] do right now is actually going to have an impact for the next 10 years,” Dennis Johnson, U.S. Census Bureau regional director in Kansas City, told the Editorial Board. The Kansas City region is responsible

for data collection and dissemination in Iowa. College students typically represent an undercounted population in prior censuses, a trend U.S. Census Bureau officials said is caused by confusion over residency and an untimely conflict between when the census form is mailed and spring-break scheduling. But with hundreds of billions of dollars on the line for the years to come, there’s no excuse for tossing the 10-question form out like a piece of junk mail. The bottom line is, UI students cannot simply ignore the census or rely on their parents to take responsibility for filling it out. “Surely [students] can spare 10 minutes,” Beth Henning, the Iowa liaison for the 2010 Census, told the Editorial Board. “It’s only once every 10 years.” In 2000, Iowa ranked first in the nation for census-response rate with 76 percent of its citizens completing and submitting the necessary questionnaire. At the time, the state population slightly exceeded 2.9 million, and a 2006 estimate put that number just under

3 million. Unfortunately, current estimates predict serious political ramifications for Iowa after this year’s census. “The State of Iowa could very possibly and would most likely lose a position in Congress because its population has not grown,” Johnson said. Henning also she said she’s pretty certain Iowa will lose a seat because other states are growing faster. But realistically, the thought of Iowa’s representative delegation getting cut down to four isn’t enough motivation to send UI students scrambling for the nearest pen. It seems the best method to promote strong response rates among college students is to raise awareness of how rudimentary and painless filling out the census really is. “People will see how simple it is and how nonintrusive it is,” Rich Gerdes, assistant regional manager for the Kansas City bureau, told the Editorial Board. “You probably put more information down when you apply for a gym membership.” So come April 1, officially declared National Census Day, take a seat, fill out a census, and participate in the civic duty of guiding this country’s next 10 years. It won’t be hard, but it sure will matter.

Letter:

Iowa State Daily not entitled to GSB funding, support Dear Government of the Student Body, In response to the Iowa State Daily editorial “Welcome to the ‘Entitled States of America,’” would you please cut off any funding to the Iowa State Daily? Given its new political philosophy against entitlement, they can survive and produce a quality student-run newspaper without GSB funds, relying solely on their “ambition and intellect.” The Iowa State Daily certainly is not entitled to funding just because it exists as a college paper. Not funding the Iowa State Daily would cut down on the bureaucratic hassle of the meetings and paperwork for GSB, thus limiting GSB’s role as big government. Besides, plenty of other student organizations and campus projects would like funding. Those that help fulfill ISU’s strategic plan should be given priority over a college newspa-

per that can survive without the help of student fees. In fact, GSB, perhaps you should go further and mimic ISU’s strategic plan (especially ISU’s new policy toward the six percent tuition hike). Go ahead and withhold 90 percent of all student fees collected, and dole out the remaining ten percent to pet projects and personal use. That would certainly reduce any perception of GSB being big government. Under this model, everything from student organizations to Cyride would be forced to survive on their “ambition and intellect” or be reduced to “the natural state of poverty.” After all, we’re not entitled to any of these programs and projects, even though we pay for them, right?

Bullying:

Upcoming Jewish holiday reminds, teaches A

s we approach Yom HaShoah, the Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day on 27 Nisan on the Jewish calendar and April 11 this year on the Gregorian calendar, I reflect upon my familial history: two scenarios with somewhat varied outcomes. When I was a young child, I sat upon my maternal grandfather Simon Mahler’s knee. Looking down urgently, but with deep affection, he said to me, “Varn,” (through his distinctive Polish accent, he pronounced my name “Varn”), “you are named after my father, Wolf Mahler, who was killed by the Nazis along with my mother Basha and most of my thirteen brothers and sisters.” When I asked why they were killed, he responded, “Because they were Jews.” Those words have reverberated in my mind, haunting me ever since. We later learned that Nazi troops forced Wolf, Basha and nine of his siblings into the desecrated Jewish cemetery in their village of Krosno, shot them and tossed their lifeless bodies into a mass unmarked grave along with more than 100 other Jewish residents. The Nazis eventually loaded the remaining Jews of Krosno onto cattle cars and transported them to Auschwitz and Belzec death camps. The handful of Krosno Jews who survived liberation of the camps attempted to return to their homes that had been confiscated by the non-Jewish residents. Outside the town, however, Polish citizens who refused to relinquish Jewish property shot and killed them on their approach. No Jews of Krosno survived the Holocaust. More recently, on a February morning in 2002,

is an assistant professor of curriculum and instruction.

while in my university office organizing materials for that day’s classes, I received an e-mail message that would forever poignantly and profoundly change my life. A man named Charles Mahler had been looking for descendents of the Mahler family of Krosno, Poland, and he had come across an essay I had written focusing on Wolf and Basha Mahler. Charles informed me that he had survived the German Holocaust along with his sister, parents, maternal grandparents and uncle, but the Nazis murdered his father’s parents (Jacques and Anja Mahler), sister and her two children and other relatives following Hitler’s invasion and occupation of Belgium, their adopted home country. My cousin Charles related their story in hiding from August 1942 until the final armistice in Europe. His father, George, altered the family’s identity papers from Jewish to Christian, and they abandoned Antwerp for what they considered the relative safety of the Belgium countryside. During their plight, members of the Belgium resistance movement and other righteous Christians shepherded them throughout the remainder of the war to three separate locations as the German Gestapo followed closely at their heels.

number of occasions, they successfully “passed” as Christian directly under the watchful gaze of unsuspecting Nazis. Though the majority of Jewish inhabitants of Antwerp ultimately perished, many survived. However, at the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., and Yad Vashem (The Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority in Israel) one will observe “Krosno” chiseled into the glass and the stone walls listing towns and villages where Nazis and their sympathizers decimated entire Jewish communities. I have learned many lessons in my studies of genocides perpetrated throughout the ages. Strong leaders whip up sentiments by employing dehumanizing stereotyping and scapegoating entire groups, while other citizens or entire nations often refuse to intervene. Everyone, not only the direct perpetrators of oppression, plays a key role in the genocide dramas. On a micro level, this is also apparent, for example, in episodes of schoolyard, communitybased, as well as electronic forms of bullying. According to the American Medical Association definition: “Bullying is a specific type of aggression in which the behavior is intended to harm or disturb, the behavior occurs repeatedly over time, and there is an imbalance of power, with a more powerful person or group attacking a less powerful one.” Dan Olweus, international researcher and bullying prevention specialist, enumerates the distinctive and often overlapping roles enacted in these episodes: the person or persons who

perpetrate bullying; the active followers; those who passively support, condone or collude in the aggression; the onlookers (sometimes referred to as “bystanders”); the possible defenders; those who actually defend the targets of aggression; and those who are exposed and attacked. One piece of my family puzzle met a tragic end, another partial segment survived. In both instances, the bystanders determined the balance of power: in Krosno, they conspired with the oppressors, while in Antwerp, they dug deeply within themselves transitioning from bystanders into courageous, compassionate and empathetic upstanders in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Each day we all are called on to make small and larger choices and to take actions. At a homecoming dance at Richmond High School in California on Oct. 27, for example, up to 10 young men grabbed a 14-year-old woman who had been waiting outside the dance for her father, dragged her behind a building, and gang rapped her for over 2.5 hours with approximately ten witnesses observing. Some even cheered on the attackers. No one notified the police. The perpetrators left the young woman in critical condition. Which side are we on? This question brings to mind civil rights activist Eldridge Cleaver’s call to action: “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.” Today as in the past, no truer words were ever uttered, for in the spectrum from occasional microaggressions to full-blown genocide, there is no such thing as an “innocent bystander.”

Jacobson agrees to long-term contract

By Jordan Wickstrom Daily Staff Writer After a hard-fought game against No. 12 seed Wisconsin-Green Bay, Iowa State’s reward for its victory is a date with the tournament’s No. 1 overall seed Connecticut. “They are the best team I’ve ever seen in the women’s game,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “But the bottom line is we get to play. The difference is either you want to play UConn or you put the balls away tomorrow and go home tomorrow morning. So we’re going to go to Dayton and play UConn, I guess.” Sunday’s game in Dayton will serve as a rematch of the 1999 Sweet 16 game that saw the Cyclones upset the number one seeded Huskies. Former ISU forward Monica Huelman was part of that ‘99 team that beat the Huskies and said that like the ‘99 team’s ability to shoot 3-point field goals, this year’s team will have to rely on its ability from beyond the arc to have a chance at beating the Huskies. “It’s always been about 3-point shooting and in the game we played against them it was 3-point shooting at the end that help us win and beat UConn,” Huelman said. “[Freshman center] Anna Prins is just an amazing 3-point shooter for being the big girl inside. Hopefully the shots will fall and they can keep pace with UConn and beat them. They are a tough team, but who in the nation wouldn’t want a shot at them.”

Seniors step up again — Senior guards Alison Lacey and Denae Stuckey provided possibly two of the biggest plays during Tuesday’s win. Lacey’s perfectly played defense on Phoenix junior guard Celeste Hoewisch with the Cyclones leading by one with four seconds remaining in the game helped clinch the Cyclones’ victory. While Stuckey’s 3-pointer with nine minutes remaining in the second half gave the Cyclones a much-needed boost and their first lead of the game. “To be honest with you I don’t think we believed we’d be here, but I have great assistant coaching and a team that believed in themselves and played hard,” Fennelly said. “And in Stuckey and Lacey we have two of the best leaders we’ve had here all year.” Both players were important to the team’s Elite Eight run last season and are familiar playing under the pressure of the NCAA Tournament. However, despite the similarities between this team and last year’s Elite Eight team in terms of postseason success, Stuckey said this team is a much different team. “Last year we had a great team and we went all the way to the Elite Eight,” Stuckey said. “This year we did things that a lot things people didn’t think

could be done. They see how young our team is and they didn’t expect us to get this far. But we had to prove them wrong. If you can get your freshmen to be in chemistry with the upper class everything will be fine. We have great friendships on our team and we play together, we have each others back and I think that is where our success came from.”

Six graduating seniors leave big shoes to fill

By Luke Meredith AP Sports Writer CEDAR FALLS — After leading Northern Iowa to the biggest win in school history, coach Ben Jacobson is sticking with the Panthers. Northern Iowa and Jacobson have agreed to a new 10-year deal that includes a substantial pay raise, athletic director Troy Dannen announced Wednesday. The agreement will increase Jacobson’s annual salary to $450,000 starting next season, with annual raises of $25,000 throughout the length of a deal that runs through 2020. Jacobson’s old contract paid him $289,300 per year and ran through 2016. Northern Iowa said that no public funds will be used to fund the increase in the new agreement. “We could not be more proud to have Ben Jacobson continue to lead our men’s basketball program well into the future,” Dannen said in a statement released by the school. “Ben is not only one of the top young coaches in the nation but he’s also a great educator and mentor.” Jacobson, 39, is in his fourth season as the head coach at Northern Iowa and has won back-to-back Missouri Valley Coach of the Year honors. He served as an assistant under Greg McDermott at Northern Iowa for five seasons, taking over when McDermott left for Iowa State in 2006. Jacobson led the Panthers to an NCAA tournament berth in 2008-09, and this season Northern Iowa (30-4) caught everyone’s attention by stunning top-seeded Kansas 69-67 in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The team will play Michigan State (26-8) in the Midwest Region semifinals in St. Louis on Friday night. Jacobson’s name was thrown into the mix for a number of high-profile openings around the country — including one just down the road at Iowa — after leading the Panthers to their second straight Missouri Valley title. Instead, Jacobson appears set for a long stay in Cedar Falls. “I appreciate the continued support from our administration, community and student body. I’m thrilled to sign this new deal,” Jacobson said in a statement. “The University of Northern Iowa is a special place made so by great people.”

“It’s just another tournament we can compete in. And sometimes teams don’t always get to go because of funding.” The team didn’t advance after the fall season, so while the national tournament is being held, they will be competing in several tournaments throughout the spring to groom new players and prepare for next fall. “We have a tournament at Wayne State on Saturday,” Schaefer said. “There will be 72 teams combined in the girls’ and guys’ divisions.” With spring weather just now returning, the team is just getting to start practicing outdoors, which will be key for the new players. “About half to three-quarters of our team has game experience,” said coach Malcolm Robertson. “But the rest are new players, so this spring is about getting them playing time and getting them adjusted.” Robertson sees an outstanding foundation for years to come with the team. He said he sees a lot of potential with the group, and the next year or so should be very good for the rugby team. To be successful in college rugby, Robertson believes experience and team continuity are far more important that just having the biggest and fastest players. But that’s not to say if you aren’t experienced you shouldn’t join the team. “It’s definitely not always about size,” Robertson said. “We aren’t always looking for big guys or even guys who have played a long time. I actually kind of like having guys who’ve never really played because I can teach them to play the way

Despite a third-place finish in this year’s NCAA Wrestling Championships, coach Kevin Jackson is not satisfied. With a lot of change coming for the Cyclones in the upcoming offseason, Jackson will have some gaps to fill to reach his expectations, but should have the resources to do it. “Obviously we’re not excited about our finish,” Jackson said. “We have a lot of work to do and a lot of new faces to groom to get to where we want to get to.” The biggest change for the team will be the loss of the senior class. The seniors have racked up more than 550 wins in their time with the program. Nick Fanthorpe (133), Mitch Mueller (149), Joe Curran (184), Duke Burk (174), Jake Varner (197) and David Zabriskie (HWT) will all be graduating. Five of those six participated in the NCAA tournament, with Fanthorpe and Mueller falling just short of AllAmerican status and Varner and Zabriskie taking home first place in their weight classes. “We’re losing these four seniors, but I think we’re going to fill in nicely,” Jackson said after the NCAA tournament. “I think the kids that we kept gained some valuable experience from this tournament and the year.” Although he is also a senior, the future for Nick Gallick (141) is unclear. The two-time All-American and 2008 Big 12 champ underwent seasonending bone spur surgery in January. The team is attempting to get him a medical redshirt to return next season, which would give some experience to the young team. Two All-Americans, freshman Andrew Long (125) and junior Jon Reader (165), will be returning as the most decorated wrestlers to next year’s squad. Long earned his All-American honors at this year’s NCAA tournament, and surprised many in the process by defeating the undefeated

ISU rugby team readies for spring tournaments By Jeremiah Davis Daily Staff Writer When high school football and soccer players graduate and know they won’t be playing at the college level, there can be a hole in their life that needs to be filled. The men’s rugby team at Iowa State can be just the thing to fill that void. “We have a lot of former football and soccer players on the team,” said team captain Curtis Schaefer, senior in global resources and management. “We’re very competitive. We’re just a bunch of guys who want to stay active.” The rugby team is technically a club team, but make no mistake, when the players hit the field, they’re playing to win. “There are divisions — D3 to D1,” said club president Ben Roby, a senior in finance. “We get placed based on how we did the previous year, and this year we’re D1.” The team plays in the Midwest Rugby Union, which is part of USA Rugby, which is a national rugby association for college rugby teams. Iowa State competes against teams like Wisconsin, Northern Iowa and Michigan during the fall. All of the teams compete for a chance to get into the league tournament at the end of the season. If teams win their league playoffs, they advance to the national tournament, which is held in the spring. While there is no NCAA rugby division, each of the Big 12 schools have rugby teams, and there is also a Big 12 tournament that his held. “The Big 12 tournament doesn’t have anything to do with our Midwest league,” Roby said.

Reader fell to Old Dominion’s Chris Brown in the first round and didn’t make it far enough through the consolation bracket. “Some things happened out there that were uncharacteristic so we just need to get him back home and make sure we can get him back on track, get his head on straight and get him ready for his senior year,” Jackson said. Other starters that will return next are Dalton Jensen (141), Andrew Sorenson Nate Carr, Jr. (157) and Jerome Ward (184). In November, Jackson and his staff announced their incoming freshman class. Eight wrestlers from three different states make up the class, bringing 10 individual state titles.

“We’ve got some incoming freshman that we’ll have to decide if they’re ready to win an NCAA championship or not as individuals,” Jackson said. “If I think they can win an NCAA title and they believe they can win an NCAA title, we’re going to wrestle them.” The class includes Iowans Mikey England (Centerville), Kyven Gadson (Waterloo), Brandon Jones (West Des Moines), Michael Moreno (Urbandale) and Trevor Voelker (Adel). Joining them will be Joey Cozart of Brandon, Fla., Ryak Finch of Safford, Ariz., and Luke Goettl of Clarksdale, Ariz. According to Intermat, Finch is the topranked 119-pounder in the country. Cozart and Moreno are the fourthranked wrestlers at 152 and 171 pounds, respectively. Gadson is pegged at No. 6 among 189-pounders. While he is unranked nationally, Goettl has won three Arizona state titles at three different weight classes. Along with success at the high school

Gadson’s father, Willie, was a two-time All-American in the 1970s. Since Jackson has said that most incoming freshman could be redshirted, the remainder of the roster may be looked on to fill the holes left by the departing senior class. “We’ve got a couple of kids like Boaz Beard and Trent Weatherman that are sitting in the wings waiting to have their chance on the team,” Jackson said. “We have some other quality kids that we think can come in right away and perform.” Other wrestlers on the roster that saw dual action this season are Chris Spangler (174), who took over for Burk in a few meets. Kyle Simonson (197), who replaced Zabriskie against Maryland in the Cliff Keen National Duals. Trevor Dearden and Dallas Collier filled in for Long at 125 in two separate duals.

I want them to.” Roby, Schaefer and Robertson all agreed that agility and endurance is the catalyst for success in rugby. Teams play 80-minute games with two 40-minute halves. There aren’t many breaks, and only seven substitutions are allowed during the game. “Any more, every position on the field has to be agile and in great shape,” Robertson said. “At least half the players will play the entire 80 minutes.” Both Roby and Schaefer acknowledge that Robertson knows exactly what he’s talking about. After all, the coach has been playing rugby since he was ten years-old in his native Zimbabwe. He even played with a member of the South African national rugby team featured in the film “Invictus” when he was in high school. Robertson also said he’s never wanted to coach anywhere but Iowa State. “I’ve had offers to coach oth-

er places, but I wouldn’t leave here,” Robertson said. “These kids are very motivated. The passion and heart I see from year to year is amazing.” The team doesn’t really need extra incentives to stay motivated, but if there could be one, it might be the tournament they will host during Veishea, the weekend of April 17 and 18. “A lot of guys really look forward to the Veisha tournament,” Schaefer said. “There are even [alumni] who come back to compete against us for that tournament.” Robertson agreed, and said that would be the perfect time to see the rugby team in action. “If you don’t know much about it, that tournament is perfect to come see what it’s about,” Robertson said. “With everything going on, that’s a great weekend to check things out.” If interested, the guys also were adamant that anyone should look into it regardless of experience.

Singer shares through song Former ISU student returns for event after life-changing experience By Nathan Winters Daily Staff Writer Former ISU student Eric Ashby wasn’t always a Christian gospel singer. In college, he was a “wild” student. His “wake-up call” came to him during an incident that occurred while attending Iowa State, he said. “When I was in college, I kind of turned my back on God,” Ashby said. “While I was in Ames, I was dating an individual. We were having some arguments, and I ended up being stabbed in Friley Hall. I was taken to Mary Greeley [Medical Center] where the doctors said the wound was a hairline from my abdominal wall. Had it gone in any farther, I would have had internal bleeding and died. That was my wake-up call, you know, that said, ‘Lord, I have to run back to you.’” That experience is the basis for Ashby’s song, “Run to You.” Ashby will return to campus Friday night to debut his new single, “Footsteps,” at the Gospel Extravaganza 2010, a free night of song, dance and prayer dedicated to God. Gospel Extravaganza is an annual event that showcases various regional gospel

CONNECT presents Gospel Extravaganza 2010 When: 7 p.m. Friday Where: Stephens Auditorium ■■ Cost: Free (free will offering) Robert “WORDS” Taylor, master of ceremony, with music from Restoration & Prayze, Beyond Welfare, Eric Ashby and Gospel Soul Innovators. ■■ ■■

performers who come to Ames and put on a show filled with music, prayer, dancing and poetry. “I’m honored to come perform for the Gospel Extravaganza,” Ashby said. “I always love coming back to Ames to see old friends, and it’s a good opportunity to worship with friends and rejoice with the Lord.” Ashby will be doing what he does best: share his life experiences and connection to the Lord through song. This year’s lineup features returning acts such as the Des Moines-based gospel choir Restoration & Prayze and the Gospel Soul Innovators, along with Ashby. The show will feature some spoken word selections from MC Robert “Words” Taylor throughout the night. The event is coordinated by CONNECT, an ISU student group that is part of New Birth Baptist Church.

The event has previously been held in the Great Hall in the Memorial Union, however, this year the performance will be in Stephens Auditorium. “CONNECT plans to have a record attendance,” CONNECT President Maria Joseph said. Courtesy photo: Keith King/CONNECT

In the past, the event has been held in smaller places such as the Great Hall in the Memorial Union and the Collegiate Presbyterian Church, 159 Sheldon Ave. While the jump from the Great Hall to Stephens Auditorium is a large move, CONNECT is very excited and hopeful about the change. “With not only a larger venue, but a more

extensive and diverse lineup of talent, CONNECT plans to have record attendance,” CONNECT President Maria Joseph said. “We hope to fill Stephens.” While admission is free, there will be a free will offering collected to help support Beyond Welfare. Gospel Extravaganza has collected for the organization all three years it has existed.

‘Gamma Rays’ to perform at M-Shop The latest play from ISU Theatre opens Thursday at the Maintenance Shop for one weekend of performances. “The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds” is a Pulitzer Prize winning dramatic play about a dysfunctional family in the 1960s. A single mother and her two daughters must learn to deal with

their difficult life. When one of the daughters, Tillie, prepares a science fair experiment of marigolds raised from radioactive seeds, her mother makes her success difficult. Todd Buchacker, a performer in the Des Moines area, guest directs this play, which will be performed four times over the upcoming weekend. Shows will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through

Saturday, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday. The shows will be in the Maintenance Shop. “It is about abuse and how it affects everyone in the family whether it be mental, emotional or physical,” he said in a news release. “It looks at how one person, a teacher, can have so much influence over a student by believing in her and giving her an outlet to see

the world so differently and giving her a feeling of real worth and talent.” The lead characters are Tammy White as Beatrice, Lindsay Allen as Tillie, Anna Krieger as Ruth, Sarah Egan as Janice and Jessie Fullerton as Nanny. The play was adapted into a movie in 1972 starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

Bowersox again wows ‘idol’ judges By Derrik J. Lang AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES — “American Idol” finalist Crystal Bowersox is on a roll. The 24-year-old musician and single mother of Toledo, Ohio, earned the judges’ highest praise on the Fox singing competition Tuesday for her traditional take on Janis Joplin’s “Me and Bobby McGee” — all from a homey carpet rolled out on the “Idol” stage. Simon Cowell told her he wouldn’t have changed a thing, but the other judges wanted a bigger reaction. Paige Miles was a long way from getting any love from the judges, who were equally against her. Randy Jackson said her rendition of Mariah Carey’s “Against All Odds” was “honestly terrible” while all DeGeneres could compliment was Miles’ ability to stay standing on the stage in a pair of high heels. “You didn’t fall down,” said DeGeneres. Also slipping even further out of favor with the judging panel was Tim Urban, the college student from Duncanville, Texas. He punctuated his performance of Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” by sliding across the stage on his knees. Several singers, however, stayed in the panel’s good graces, including 23-year-old Lee Dewyze of Mount Prospect, Ill., with The Box Tops’ “The Letter;” 16-year-old Aaron Kelly of Sonestown, Pa., with Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing;” and 27-year-old Casey James of Fort Worth, Texas, with Huey Lewis and The News’ “The Power Of Love.”

Contestant Crystal Bowersox, of Elliston, Ohio, performs March 16 on “American Idol. Photo: Michael Becker/The Associated Press

The judges again voiced their frustration with 24-year-old musician Andrew Garcia of Moreno Valley, Calif., after he turned in an awkward rendition of Marvin Gaye’s “Heard It Through the Grapevine.” They also weren’t fans of a sexed-up theatrical version of Linda Ronstadt’s “You’re No Good” by 23-year-old waitress Didi Benami of Los Angeles. “It was like a musical,” said Cowell, “the bad part of a musical.” Unless the judges save a singer, another finalist will be eliminated Wednesday.

Music photographer Passes away classic’s sequel to begin filming abroad in april By The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Music photographer Jim Marshall, who spent more than a half-century capturing rock-and-roll royalty ranging from the Beatles to Ben Harper, has died at age 74. Aaron Zych, a manager at the Morrison Hotel Galleries in New York City, said Wednesday that Marshall apparently died alone in a New York City hotel room. Zych says the San Francisco resident was scheduled to appear at another gallery Wednesday night to promote his new book with celebrity photographer Timothy White. According to his Web site, Marshall had more than 500 record album covers to his credit. Marshall was known for his iconic images from the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock.

LA PAZ, Bolivia — The 1969 movie classic “Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid” ends with neither of the outlaws appearing to survive a 1908 shootout with Bolivian soldiers. But Butch at least will ride again in a film entitled “Blackthorn” that begins shooting in Bolivia next month. American actor and playwright Sam Shepard plays the real-life Robert LeRoy Parker, who led the Hole in the Wall Gang. Cesar Perez is the director of Bolivia’s national cinema council. He said Tuesday that Spaniard Mateo Gil is currently directing the story of Cassidy’s attempt to return to the United States. Gil is known for his screenplay of “The Sea Inside.” The new film plot has Cassidy feeling compelled to commit just one more robbery before he can retire.

By The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police want to talk to Suge Knight after a rapper initially accused the former Death Row Records chief of robbing him before recanting the story. Detective Jeff Briscoe says 35-year-old Jerold Ellis, who uses the name Yukmouth, reported he was talking to Knight on Monday night in a Woodland Hills supermarket parking lot about a debt that another rapper allegedly owes Knight. Yukmouth filed a police report saying 10 other men arrived at the parking lot,
