On top of the world Senior distance runner Lisa Koll sets new NCAA record in 10,000-meter run Iowa State distance runner Lisa Koll added yet another accomplishment to her storied collegiate career last Friday, becoming the fastest female 10,000-meter runner in NCAA history. Koll, a senior from Fort Dodge, set the record at the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif., where she clocked a time of 31 minutes, 18.7 seconds. Her time was more than seven seconds faster than previous record holder Sally Kipyego’s of Texas Tech (31:25.45). Koll is now the sixth-fastest female American of all time in the 10,000 meters. The five women in front of Koll are all past Olympians, including the record holder and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Shalane Flanagan (30:22.22). Koll’s time Friday was 1 minute, 26
seconds faster than her first-place performance at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and more than two minutes faster than 2009 NCAA champion Danette Doetzel of Providence (33:25.71). This was not the first time Koll had a record-setting night in Palo Alto. In 2008, Koll set the collegiate record in the same event, finishing in a time of 32:11.13. The 10,000-meter record further cements Koll as one of the best runners in ISU history. Koll, a nine-time AllAmerican, won the 5,000-meter race at this year’s NCAA Indoor Track and Field championships and placed second in the 3,000-meters.

Global Gala opens eyes of audience members
Scouring of Lake LaVerne turns up no information By Sarah Haas Daily Staff Writer Law enforcement officials failed to find evidence of missing ISU student Jon Lacina on Saturday in Lake LaVerne A conglomeration of around 30 local, county and Minnesota officials methodically searched the lake for more than six hours. Director of Public Safety Jerry Stewart said the purpose of the search was to ensure that Lacina’s body is not in the lake. “They’re searching today not based on any tip, but to rule out the possibility,” Stewart said. Authorities have previously searched the lake twice — once utilizing divers and once with underwater cameras — but were unable to determine the lake’s contents conclusively because of ice. The recent warmer temperatures helped to melt the remaining ice on the lake, allowing divers to undertake and complete a more thorough

Story County Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald used his connection with the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office in Minnesota to bring in special sonar equipment useful in determining the contents of bodies of water. “After today, we will be able to say with 99 percent certainty that he’s not in the lake,” Fitzgerald said. In the morning, teams of four searchers donned dry suits and walked through the shallow parts of the lake systematically, finding bicycles

Code interpretation under new scrutiny By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer The Government of the Student Body Supreme Court met to hear oral arguments for the first time in years Friday afternoon. The plaintiff, PresPhillips ident-Elect Luke Roling, senior in chemical engineering, filed a petition March 3 for a writ of certiorari to the court. Roling’s election campaign was fined $1,950 by GSB’s ElecRoling tion Commission for an e-mail sent out via a university listserv to students who live in residence halls by Inter-Residence Hall Association President Jason Boggess, senior in mechanical engineering. Roling made several attacks against the 2010 Election Commission during the proceedings, claiming that they never checked the election code for “clarity and completeness” before the inception of the election, adding that the penalties placed on his campaign were too harsh, and that they failed to abide by the GSB’s bylaws. Roling said the commission has yet to file its annual review of the election code to GSB Senate, and it was probably too late for them to do so now. GSB Election Commissioner Dan Porter, senior in sociology, argued it was not outlined in the bylaws that the review has to go through senate, but, simply, that it has to be completed. “The Election Commission shall annually review the election code and shall present a proposal for any necessary and proper changes to the speaker of the senate,” according to the bylaws. Roling’s main argument against the bylaws’ clarity arose from Section 8.14 of the election code: “E-mail communications through any Iowa State University list serve shall be prohibited within 24 house of the voting periods and during the voting periods.” “Note that the word ‘house’ is not a valid unit of time, and that the Election Commission cannot penalize e-mails sent in a particular time frame when a
law does not specify said time frame,” according to the petition. Chief Justice Brian Phillips, graduate student in political science, asked Roling what unit of time he thought should replace the word “house” to which Roling responded it was not his job to decipher the code in that way. Phillips also questioned Roling as to why he thought the entire election shouldn’t be nullified. Phillips said that if Roling was concerned about the code not being clear, it calls the legitimacy of the code in question, and if it was faulty to a great extent, it would seem necessary to throw out the entire election. Roling said he did not believe that he was asking for a significant enough change in the code to justify the election results being thrown out. Roling’s second argument was that the campaign did not receive adequate notification from the commission prior to the violation hearing, during which the campaign was fined. In the case of a special hearing, “the hearing itself shall not be held within 48 hours of the initial notification,” according to the bylaws. Roling and Dobbels said they were notified of the hearing that was being held 5 hours, 10 minutes before it happened. Roling said if he had been given more time to prepare and gather witnesses, the results of the commission’s hearing may have been different. Porter said the commission went about penalizing the Roling campaign by following the steps outlined in the election code, and that, even if there had been more witnesses present at the hearing, the commission would have taken the same measures. Porter said the commission wanted to ensure that this type of infraction didn’t happen again, and wanted to ensure that the low penalties listed in the election code didn’t encourage future campaigns to violate it. Roling’s final argument was that the Roling-Dobbels campaign did not carry direct responsibility for the e-mail. Roling said the e-mail was not sent out on behalf of the Roling-Dobbels campaign. Porter mentioned several reasons why he thought the e-mail was sent out

Research on display
Ingenuity about energy generation showcased at fair By Sarah Gonzalaz Daily Staff Writer
Scientific research exploring improved ways to generate electricity, maintain the environment and produce money-saving fuel were showcased Friday and Saturday at the State Science and Technology Fair of Iowa. The research, done by sixth through 12th graders from across Iowa, was displayed in the Iowa State Center’s Scheman Building. More than 550 student scientists set up poster boards, laptops and research binders in one large room to be critiqued by volunteer judges. “It’s a way for students to be able to showcase their work and talk to professionals in their fields,” said Travis Frey, senior high judging committee chair. One goal of the fair is to get students to start communicating science to others. The fair was broken into different categories, like animal science, environment, health and medicine. The judges, from ISU Ames Laboratory and other universities across the state, were
also broken into categories based on their experience and expertise. To encourage clear and efficient communication, the students were judged by at least one expert from another field. Shawna Sieren, a sophomore from Keota High School, said she didn’t know what category each of her judges were from, but the goal of her project is familiar to everyone: to save money. Her project — Using Food for Fuel and Financial Savings — found that food can be broken down to produce methane gas that can run electrical items, specifically kitchen appliances. Sieren got interested in this kind of research because her school, like many others, is losing money. “They can save money by doing this and cut down on electricity, and maybe they don’t have to cut teachers or cut down in other places,” Sieren said. Sieren used an anaerobic digester — an oxygen-free tank — to heat water and different foods, including bread, oranges, lasagna and French toast sticks. She then measured the gas produced, which came out through a hose into a water jug by the amount of water displacement. The financial savings she calculated for her 120-person high school came out to be approximately $450
a year. Her school would save the money they spend to haul away the average 33 pounds of food that is wasted every day if they used the garbage to produce methane. Just a few poster boards down from Sieren, a different project focused on another popular issue, environmental damage. Pearl Sawhney and Minna Mohammadi, sophomores from Maharishi High School in Fairfield, found that the food given to cattle in concentrated animal feeding operations produces the most negative impact on the water quality of nearby lakes, streams and rivers than organic food would. “We wanted to find a local solution to a global problem,” Sawhney said. The pair intends to continue their research and explore these feeding effects in different states and during different seasons. Other projects at the fair explored a variety of different research, including psychology, health and engineering. The 53rd State Science and Technology Fair of Iowa was open to any student in the state and did not require them to advance from another fair. More than $70,000 in prizes and scholarships were awarded to the student scientists.

Unemployment rate in Iowa hits 20-year high Iowa’s unemployment rate in February was the highest monthly rate recorded since before most ISU students were born, according to figures released last week by Iowa Workforce Development. Unemployment in Iowa edged upward from 6.6 percent in January to 6.7 percent in February — the highest rate seen in more than 20 years, when a 6.8 percent monthly unemployment rate was recorded for July 1986. The 6.7 percent unemployment rate represents 112,500 unemployed workers from a labor force of 1,682,900. Iowa’s economy remains strong, though, in comparison to the nation. The U.S. unemployment rate remained unchanged from January to February at 9.7 percent. In the same period, Ames’ unemployment rate edged upward from 4.4 percent to 4.5 percent. Ames’ 4.5 percent unemployment rate represents 1,500 workers in a labor force of 32,900.

Before that, he worked out of his house and out of a major music store in Des Moines. “It’s something I wanted to do for years,” Hoshaw said of owning his own shop. “I decided to finally do it.” Hoshaw, who grew up in Stratford, about 30 miles from Ames, chose to open up shop in Ames because he felt it offered a loyal environment. “Ames has always been supportive of string programs,” he said. So far, the wide variety of people has been Hoshaw’s favorite part of owning a business in the historical Main Street Cultural District. “Especially in the summertime traffic, you see Ames has a really diverse community,” he said. “You never know who’s going to walk in the door.” Hoshaw said he has a variety of clients, many of whom he already
had when he opened his studio. “I have kids just starting out, and then I have a couple of clients in their 90s. It ranges from brand new players to old-time fiddlers,” he said. He also serves teachers and concertmasters around the area. Restoration is the main focus of Hoshaw Fine Violins, but Hoshaw also sells instruments — including new, antique and rare instruments. The instruments come from all over the United States and Europe, including Prague, Austria and Budapest. Many of the antique instruments Hoshaw collects and sells come from estates, auctions and various other contacts. Additionally, he sells bows and offers bow rehairing and restoration. Hoshaw actually had no interest in violins until high school. “I started learning to play, and then I got more interested in woodworking and varnishing,” he said. “I always liked to do art, and this kind of went hand in hand.” Music and art have had a huge impact on Hoshaw’s life, and he said the high schools across the country that are cutting funds in those programs are making a “big mistake.” He does his part to maintain the arts programs by supporting events and working with schools, giving them discounts and free repairs. Hoshaw did not attend college, but said he has learned how to run a

business through trial and error. “You learn as you go,” he said. “You just have to be honest with people and treat people right. You have to give them a good deal and stand behind your work.” Hoshaw Fine Violins grew significantly in it’s first year, and he said loyal customers helped to spread the word about the new shop. “Last year, when the economy went bad, things kind of slowed down,” he said. “When people don’t have as much money to spend, they focus on repairing and restoring things they already have, so the restoration and repair picks up when retail is down.” He added that business has
picked up in the last few months. Hoshaw said that his favorite part of owning his own studio is that he doesn’t think of it as a job. On the side, Hoshaw sells his own original paintings. “That’s another branch of the business. It’s not really promoted,” he said, but he does sell quite a bit of his art. His shop also offers handmade items that his business partner produces. These items include scarves, handbags and instrument carrying bags. “I don’t stand here looking at the clock every few minutes waiting for quitting time,” he said. “I’ve always enjoyed what I do.”
Homeowners
Time to apply for tax credit dwindles By Kyle Peterson Daily Staff Writer Ames realtors are prepping for a busy month, as consumers rush to take advantage of tax credits that will expire April 30. “On April 30, you get an $8,000 tax credit for a first time homebuyer. On May 1, you get zero. That’s a pretty strong motivator,” said Tom Randall, broker and owner of the Tom Randall Real Estate Team, 207 S. Third St. Signed into law on Feb. 17, 2009, as part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery
Act, the credit was set to expire on Nov. 30. With support from industry groups, on Nov. 6, Congress extended the credit. Randall said the credit will probably not be extended again. “This time we haven’t heard anything,” Randall said. “From the National Association of Realtors on down, we haven’t had any indicators that that’s going to be a possibility.” That means the next month could be interesting as consumers try to get last-minute deals. “It’s really going to be interesting in the four weeks in April
as we approach the final day,” Randall said. In a sluggish economy, every bit helps. Ames saw 590 residential sales in 2009 — down from 626 in 2008 and 786 in 2007, according to information from the Ames Assessor’s Office. Ames’ real estate market picks up in the spring and summer, but the tax credit helps, too. “I think it’s been very successful. For the first-time homebuyer, I’d give it an A,” Randall said. “There’s never been a bigger incentive to buy a home since I’ve been in the business.”
Credit Breakdown
First-time homebuyers, who haven’t owned a home within the last three years, may be eligible for a credit equal to 10 percent of the home’s price, up to $8,000. Those who have owned and occupied a primary residence for five consecutive years during the last eight years can qualify for a credit up to $6,500. Single tax filers earning up to $125,000 qualify for the entire credit, filers earning up to $145,000 qualify for a partial credit. Filers earning more than $145,000 are ineligible. Married tax filers earning up to $225,000 qualify for the entire credit, filers earning up to $245,000 qualify for a partial credit. Filers earning more than $245,000 are ineligible.

Iraq War
Defendant in killings ready for trial By Elliot Spagat Associated Press Writer CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. — Marine Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich entered military court thinking charges against him in a case involving the deaths of 24 Iraqis — some children — would be dismissed. He left resigned to being court-martialed in the biggest criminal case against U.S. troops to arise from the Iraq war. “I’m actually happy to see that there is a trial date and that this will be over soon,” he told reporters. “At least this is the beginning of the end.” A military judge, Lt. Col. David Jones, refused to dismiss charges Friday against the former squad leader, saying defense attorneys failed to show that two generals who oversaw the case were influenced by a top aide disqualified under military policy from giving advice because he had investigated the killings on a previous assignment. Wuterich, 30, is one of eight Marines initially charged with murder or failure to investigate the killings that occurred after a roadside bombing that killed a Marine.

Six have had charges dropped or dismissed, and one was acquitted. Wuterich’s trial is scheduled for Sept. 13 on reduced charges of voluntary manslaughter in nine of the 24 deaths
and other crimes in the November 2005 shootings in the town of Haditha. Wuterich, of Meriden, Conn., said it’s been a “tough five years.” He is doing administrative work at 1st Marine Divi-
sion headquarters at Camp Pendleton while working toward a certificate as a computer technician at Saddleback Community College in Orange County and coaching soccer. “I try to do things to keep my mind off the case,” he said. Wuterich said he had “mixed feelings” that all the other defendants were exonerated.“In part, I’m happy for them, but it’s tough being the last guy going through this,” he said. At his preliminary hearing, Wuterich said he regretted the loss of civilian lives but believed he was operating within military combat rules when he ordered his men to attack. He declined to discuss the killings with reporters Friday. An ending of the case would likely have met outcry in Iraq, where many see a lack of accountability for the actions of U.S. troops through the seven years of war. Abdul-Rahman Najim al-Mashhadani, who heads the Baghdad-based Hammourabi NGO human rights organization, welcomed the ruling. “It is a very important case and we feel happy that attention will be paid to
a case dealing with human rights,” he said. “This case is regarded as a success for us.” Wuterich and a squad member were accused of shooting five men by a car at the scene. Investigators say Wuterich then ordered his men to clear several houses with grenades and gunfire. A full investigation didn’t begin until a Time magazine reporter inquired about the deaths in January 2006, two months later. Gen. James Mattis, who brought charges, acknowledges that his aide, Col. John Ewers, was in the room when allegations of wartime abuse were discussed but denies ever getting advice from him on the Haditha case. The judge said Friday there was no suggestion that Ewers’ presence influenced the generals or stifled junior attorneys who were present. He said he was convinced Mattis and his successor, Gen. Samuel Helland, had done extensive independent research. “It is reassuring to know that the generals really did their homework ... and didn’t merely act as a rubber stamp,” Jones said.
Competition
Fencing boon for blind student’s futures By Mark Pratt Associated Press Writer
can fence? Really? No way!’ Yeah, anything is possible.” Kadlik duels Monday in what’s being billed as a first-ofits kind match between students at schools for the blind — Perkins and The Carroll Center for the Blind in nearby Newton. The match was the brainchild of Perkins fencing instructor Cesar Morales, founder of the International Fencing Club in suburban Boston and also a teacher at the Newton school. Morales said the students got bored fencing against the same people week after week and needed outside challenges. Fencing teaches the balance, agility, mobility, timing, listening and navigational skills that the blind need to make their way
WATERTOWN, Mass. — Cory Kadlik has never let being blind stop him from golfing, skating, learning martial arts or riding a dirt bike. He had his doubts when it came to fencing. “I never even knew this was possible,” said Kadlik, 19, of Medway, Mass., as epees clanged, his teammates whooped in triumph, and coaches barked out instructions in the gym of Perkins School for the Blind. “I’m on Twitter, and I mentioned to my followers and friends that I was going to be in a fencing tournament and I had 10 replies saying ‘Blind people

in the sight-oriented world, said Peggy Balmaseda, a physical education teacher at Perkins for 25 years. “This helps with orientation,” said Kadlik, who lives on his own in an apartment on the Perkins Watertown campus. “When you’re walking along, and you come to a crosswalk, you need to stay in a straight line to cross the street, and learning to stay straight in fencing reinforces that feeling.” The Carroll Center has been teaching fencing to its students for exactly those reasons since 1954, said vice president Arthur O’Neill. But to his knowledge, this is the first time there has been a fencing match with another school. About a half-dozen students from each school will compete. Any kind of physical activity benefits the blind and visually impaired, said Mark Lucas, executive director of the U.S. Association of Blind Athletes based in Colorado Springs, Colo. The organization oversees competition for the blind in sports including cycling, swim-
ming, skiing, and judo, but Lucas said he’s never heard of a fencing tournament for the blind, perhaps because it takes so much hand-eye coordination. “This sounds like a wonderful opportunity,” he said. Blind and visually impaired people who participate in sports tend to be more competitive and higher achievers, Lucas said. “The unemployment rate for the blind nationwide is something like 70 percent, but we surveyed our members and found that it’s more like 30 percent for those involved with sports,” he said. For the Perkins fencers, fencing is just plain fun and proves that the blind can do anything the sighted can. “I’m not limited by the way I am,” said Perkins student Sam Robson, 17, of Westport, Conn., who also wrestles, swims and runs track. He said he’s lived his life facing skepticism about his abilities. “Don’t tell me I can’t walk across the street by myself,” he

said. “I can do that. Don’t tell me I can’t fence. I can do that. I think it’s a big statement that can show people we are not afraid.” Minh Farrow, 21, the only woman on the Perkins team, said she was inspired to try fencing by her younger brother. “I just do it because it’s fun,” she said. There are no special rules and no greater risk of injury for the blind students, Morales said. They wear the same protective jackets and headgear as
sighted fencers. They start with their weapons touching, then fence on command from the officials, just like a fencing bout for the sighted. There are no verbal cues from coaches, and they use the same electronic scoring devices that buzz and light up when a fencer touches the tip of their weapon to their opponent’s torso or head. To keep the blind fencers oriented, Morales uses a rectangular carpet much like the “strip” sighted fencers use.

The Sam Spady Story Binge drinking kills nearly 2,000 college students each year. The SAM Spady Foundation educates students on the dangers of alcohol, specifically high-risk consumption, and the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning. The foundation honors the memory of Samantha Spady, a Colorado State student who died of alcohol poisoning in 2004. Sam was a nineteen-year-old Nebraska homecoming queen, high-school class president, and scholarship winner. She had looks, brains, youth, and, promise. But all that came to a sudden and tragic end when Sam shared too many shots of vodka, passed out, and died alone in a fraternity house. Executive Director Brian Alley delivers the foundation’s message that alcohol can kill and provides information to empower students to use good judgement and drink responsibly.

Haiti Recovery
Shelter plan emerging ahead of donor meeting By Jonathan M. Katz Associated Press Writer PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Aid officials said they have finally figured out where to put hundreds of thousands of Haitians who lost their homes in a cataclysmic earthquake: right back where they came from. Dreams of vast relocation camps have largely evaporated due to a lack of available land. And nobody wants to leave people living in the streets under makeshift tents of plastic and bed sheets with the official May 1 start of the rainy season looming. So Haitians like Marie Carmel Etienne are moving back home, helped by a team funded by the U.S. Defense Department that has promised to remove the debris of shattered buildings in one Port-au-Prince neighborhood if people will dump it in the street in front of their lots. The 55-year-old stylist spent better than two decades in Brooklyn and Miami before moving back to Haiti and opening a beauty parlor in her three-story home. It all collapsed in the Jan. 12 quake, so she has been sleeping under a tree at her mother’s house, dodging falling mangoes at night. She enlisted neighbors to smash the pinkpainted concrete into bits and cart them into the street for the American team to pick up. “My U.S. taxes coming back to me,” she said, pointing to a U.S. Navy engineer, Melvin Acree.

“My Haitian taxes, they do nothing.” For Acree’s team of bulldozer, Bobcat and dump truck drivers, the task seems never ending. “Look at this! We cleared this street out!” Acree said with a laugh as he stepped into the sauna-like air on a street blocked anew by a mountain of bro-
Parliament
Iraqi leaders butt heads over issues By Rebecca Santana Associated Press Writer BAGHDAD — The secular challenger who stunned Iraq with his razor-thin parliamentary election win turned his attention to negotiations over a future government even as supporters of the prime minister vowed to fight the results. Ayad Allawi’s two-seat win was hailed as a startling comeback for a politician who just four years ago was shunned as a U.S.-backed puppet, but the closeness of the race meant his regaining the premiership was anything but guaranteed. Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki’s bloc has demanded a recount, claiming fraud. The Shiite leader, who angrily denounced the results after their Friday release, did not appear in public Saturday, but his supporters promised a fight to keep him in his post. “There are two options in front of us. The first, to continue the challenge in a legal and constitutional way and the second is to continue demanding the manual recount,” adviser Sami al-Askari said. A spokesman for the Accountability and Justice Commission, responsible for vetting candidates for ties to Saddam Hussein’s Baathist party, raised the prospect that some candidates may yet be disqualified. The maneuvering followed a bitter campaign and signaled a protracted battle to form a new government that will lead the country as the U.S. speeds up the withdrawal of its forces. In a worrying sign of the sectarian tensions the elections
have stirred up, a Sunni leader in a Baghdad neighborhood who Friday night celebrated Allawi’s win by passing out candy was killed by a sniper Saturday morning, officials said. Regardless of the final outcome, the results of the parliamentary vote were a turning point and served as a rejection of the domination of Shiite religious parties who are closely aligned with Iran and rose to power after the U.S.-led invasion ousted Saddam’s Sunnidominated regime in 2003. The vote also served as a referendum against the sectarian politics that had pushed the country to the brink of civil war due to tensions between Shiites and Sunni Arabs. Allawi’s Iraqiya coalition won 91 seats to 89 for al-Maliki’s bloc, riding a wave of support from Sunnis frustrated with the Shiite-dominated government, which they say has incited sectarian tensions and is too closely aligned with neighboring Iran. But both groups fell far short of the 163 seat majority needed to form a government alone, leaving a Shiite religious coalition including anti-American Muqtada al-Sadr known as the Iraqi National Alliance and U.S.allied Kurds as kingmakers. Political blocs have three days to appeal the results, which will not be final until certified by the Supreme Court. Further complicating the situation, al-Maliki won a ruling from the Supreme Court this week that left the door open for another bloc formed through political negotiations after the election to win the right to choose the new prime minister.
Communications
Russian president nixes two time zones By Jim Heintz Associated Press Writer MOSCOW — Russia’s president thought the country had too much time on its hands, so Sunday he eliminated two of its 11 time zones. The changes mean that Chukotka — Russia’s eastern extreme, just across the Bering Strait from Alaska — is now nine hours ahead of Russia’s westernmost area, the Kaliningrad exclave sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland. Formerly, there was 10 hours’ difference. As well as eliminating the time zone that previously covered the Chukotka and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky regions in the Pacific Far East, President Dmitry Medvedev ordered that Samara and Udmurtia, two regions in the central part of Russia, should be on the same time as Moscow. The changes went into effect before dawn Sunday when most of Russia switched to daylight savings time. People in the eliminated zones didn’t move their clocks an hour ahead. Medvedev initiated the change in his state of the nation address last November, prompting some criticism that
he was addressing marginal issues at the expense of the country’s array of problems. But Medvedev said the change would help some farflung regions have more efficient communications with the central authorities, ease travel and even improve the country’s international position. “It’s possible that this could also aid the strengthening of Russia’s position as a link in the global information infrastructure,” he said at a meeting in March with ministers and regional leaders. An online petition opposing the Samara region’s change gathered nearly 13,000 signatures. It acidly dismissed the argument that the move would make travel easier. It also complained that moving Samara to a new time zone would make it a disorienting two hours behind its eastern neighbors and that sunset would be painfully early in the winter. “In the winter, darkness will come almost at lunchtime, which isn’t convenient and is psychologically quite hard,” the petition said. But more manipulation of time zones appears likely.
ken concrete and twisted rebar. Shelter is likely to be the dominant issue at a critical U.N. conference Tuesday in New York, where aid international aid donors are considering about $11.5 billion in aid requests. Some 1.3 million people lost their homes in the
Jan. 12 quake; hundreds of thousands are on the capital’s streets, hillsides and dangerous riverbeds. The new plan — now accepted by major international groups including U.N. agencies and the U.S. Agency for International Development — looks like this: Those who can will be encouraged to return to homes that engineers have deemed safe. Those who can’t will be given help removing debris so they can return to their neighborhoods. Others will try to find host families for the time being. Aid groups will try to improve existing camps for those with no place else to go. Only a small number, as a last resort, may be moved to relocation camps. The International Organization of Migration estimates 245,000 individuals are at high risk of flooding or mudslides in the makeshift camps where they now live, though a just-completed U.S. military survey said fewer than 37,000 need to be moved urgently. Haitian and foreign officials initially proposed huge relocation camps, but that idea has largely fizzled after weeks of fruitless wrangling with private landowners and due to fears they could become new, permanent slums. Only in the last few days — more than two months after the government proposed the camps — have the first 200 families to move to the first transitional site, an area called Santo 17 on the northeastern outskirts of Port-au-Prince.
Opinion Editorial:
Get educated about Iowa’s Sunshine laws Iowa is a great state, and for a lot of great reasons. We’ve got bowl game-winning football teams, basketball teams in NCAA tournaments, the butter cow at the State Fair and plenty more. We also have some fantastic open meetings and open records laws — sometimes called “Sunshine laws” — in Iowa. They can be found in Chapters 21 and 22 of Iowa Code, with the headings “Official Meetings Open to Public” and “Examination of Public Records.” Those laws make it possible for us, as a news organization, to do our job — but, more importantly, they make it possible for all of us, as Iowans, to be active participants in government. And on Friday, the Iowa Legislature took an important step in making those Sunshine laws even better. You see, on that day, the Iowa Senate approved a measure that would create an open meetings, public records and privacy advisory committee. This measure was presented by Democratic Sen. Pam Jochum of Dubuque, as an amendment to a spending bill that the Legislature must eventually pass. According to the measure, the advisory committee would serve a public audience by acting as a “resource for public access to government information in light of the policy of this state to provide as much public access to government information and proceedings as is consistent with the public interest and the need to protect individuals against undue invasions of personal privacy.” Whether you’re aware of it or not, you have the right to access a huge amount of government information — as much government information as is consistent with the public interest, in fact. And, given the number of decisions made by the government that directly influence our lives, it seems to us that it’s in the public’s interest to have access to a whole hell of a lot of information. Pardon the language, we’re just so excited about the idea of a transparent government structure. It is because of these laws that Board of Regents meetings are open to the public, so every student can witness firsthand the discussion and decision to increase tuition, and that’s just one example. These laws allow us to know the size of a college’s budget cut and the documents that were part of the decision to make that cut as well — and we’re lucky there, because Iowa State is a public institution falling under the authority of Iowa’s open meetings and open records laws. We, as journalists at the Iowa State Daily, take advantage of the access granted to us by these laws in order to provide the ISU community with information about the decisions that affect it. But these provisions aren’t just for us. We encourage everyone to learn about these laws, and take advantage of these opportunities. Seriously. That means you. This committee will be a great resource to help educate everyone in the state about why Sunshine laws are important, what kind of information is public, and how to take action if government officials are trying to avoid sharing the information they are required to provide. Iowa’s Sunshine laws are valuable tools — and this advisory committee will help teach all of us how to use them to best serve the public. Don’t waste the opportunity, and we’ll do our best to do the same. Editor in Chief

Don’t look too far ahead Health care bill appears to be good deal, if you ignore long-term effects
T
he health care bill that was passed by the House of Representatives last Sunday is predicted to decrease the federal deficit over the next 10 years. You may be wondering how we can save money by passing a bill that costs nearly a trillion dollars, but the answer is simple. The bill increases taxes for the whole decade, but doesn’t start paying out benefits for another four years. So 10 years of taxes can pay for six years of health care. As long as you don’t look past 10 years from now, it appears to be a good deal. Well, OK, still maybe not a good deal, but a better one than what it actually is anyway. Of course, that’s only the case if the bill’s costs are what have been predicted — which they will almost definitely not be. As is the case with many government programs, it will likely cost much more than expected. Here’s why:
Blake Hasenmiller
is a senior in industrial engineering and economics from DeWitt.
1. The law of demand. This law states that as something becomes cheaper, people will buy more of it. In the case of health care, once somebody else — the taxpayer — is paying for it, people will purchase more, thus leading to a higher cost. 2. Moral hazard. This is the idea that when you insure a risk, people are more likely to engage in risky behavior due to the reduced consequences of their actions. In the case of health care, once everyone has insurance the cost of being unhealthy will decrease, so people will be more inclined to engage in unhealthy behaviors. 3. Pre-existing conditions. Insurance companies pool together the money of individuals whose levels of risk are hard to predict, so that overall, the total amount of risk is easy to predict.
The money is then given back to those individuals who, in the case of health care, get sick. Forcing insurance companies to insure those with pre-existing conditions is not riskpooling. It’s simply a way of forcing others to pay for that condition. 4. The law of supply. This law states that as you produce more of something, the cost per unit increases. This means that if we increase the amount of health care consumed by X percent — both by insuring more people overall and because of the above effects — the total cost of that health care will increase by more than X percent of its current costs. Because of these effects, you should expect the total cost of this bill — which is already predicted to be more than the revenue generated by the tax increases that went with it — to keep increasing beyond predicted levels. These additional costs may be made up by further increased taxes, an increased national debt, inflation, cuts to other areas of government spending, decreased health care quality, rationing of health care, or some combination thereof. But regardless, we’ll all have to pay somehow.
Movie Review:
Nostalgic comedy brings out laughs ‘Hot Tub Time Machine’ takes us back to the ’80s with fresh twist Ah, the ’80s. A marvelous time for movies packed with quality comedy verging on the raunchy level, but without going too far — at least not regularly. “Hot Tub Time Machine” is, both literally and figuratively, a throwback to that ’80s style, and, much like the ’80s, this is both a good and bad thing. First thing’s first: The movie is funny. Not “wWw this is the best thing ever, I think I wet my pants funny,” but solid laughs. The cast delivers punch line after punch line without a whim of remorse toward the lack of story or otherwise value to the film. This is to be expected as the movie is, for all purposes, making fun of its own content and trying very little to be anything more than a rousing round of chuckles. Any instance you go back in time, you have to deal with two very driving possibilities: that history can be altered, or that the past cannot be changed. In either situation, disbelief must usually be suspended in order to not simply look at the film and curse repeatedly about how this or that makes no sense. This is where “Hot Tub Time Machine” succeeds admirably. Due to its high quantity of silliness, you can just ignore the historical inaccuracies or questions that should arise due to the ever-present butterfly effect that their decisions impart toward the course of time. While the comedy is good, however, not all of the jokes hit perfectly. Sometimes it gets a little too overdone or just isn’t all that funny to everyone. Like many comedies that exist just for comedy’s sake — as opposed to action comedies or dramatic comedies — there isn’t much to enjoy
“Hot Tub Time Machine” focuses on generating laughs rather than dwelling on development. Making fun of its own content, the movie pulls out enough pop references to take you back to the ’80s, but doesn’t give a full-blown flashback to the comedic style of the era.

beyond the laughs. Following the rule of time, the characters must tread carefully to ensure that history isn’t knocked out of whack and everything is all hunky-dory when the time machine ends its magic. All of the tried and true systems of time travel are poked fun at through a variety of dialogue and plot devices — my favorite being the “Back to the Future” reference of making sure you don’t fade away. Somewhere along the way, the audience is supposed to catch that there is more than just jokes. To break it down simply, the characters are all dealing with the depressing realities of their lives and get the opportunity to realize how meaningful the journey of life is rather than the destination. This is the “deepest” part of the film, and thankfully this isn’t dwelled upon long enough at any point to take too much away from the laughs. As for actual performances,
the only non-funny thing is really the movie’s star: John Cusack. Cusack was a ’80s comedy star and is today still a funny guy in a way that most of the popular comedians are lacking. Unfortunately, this time it felt more like he simply phoned in the job. The rest of the cast look to be having a fun time, while Cusack looks more like he is lost in a memory of the ’80s comedies he rocked so well. The real stand-out is Crispin Glover, who tends to stand out in any crowd anyway. Glover isn’t your normal sort of comedian — he’s really not your normal sort of anything really. To add to the fun: Chevy Chase cameos, bringing along more of that nostalgia for days gone by. The real downside to the movie is that it isn’t a pure throwback. The style of comedy is more akin to modern comedy, rather than the delivery style of situations and screwball antics popular a few decades ago. The
references to the ridiculousness of the ’80s isn’t enough to really nail down more than a few mere pop references you could have grabbed off of a “You were born in the ’80s if … ” quiz on Facebook. The plot is just silly enough to allow for anything to occur, but then the writer apparently wanted to make sure there were a few hints of message rather than putting only laughs to the forefront and character growth secondary or even tertiary. There aren’t a whole lot of problems with the movie, but then there isn’t a whole lot of anything worthwhile in the movie to be disappointed about. It’s just another flick to give audiences a small laugh fix.

Letter:
Conservative slander unfounded, think for yourself Commentators ignore benefits of health care bill, sell out to corporations The Monday after the House of Representatives passed the Senate’s health care reform bill, I drove 10 hours across rural America. During this time, on my way from New Mexico to Kansas, I was astounded by the aggressive and combative rhetoric spoken against the government and health reform by every single conservative commentator. While scanning the radio stations, the same comments were made over and over again: “Democrats are all socialists; we need to sue to the government; this is unconstitutional; America is in grave danger; our liberties have been taken away; we need to fight for our freedom; this is an attack on all Americans.” Over and over again, conservative commentators were repeating the same phrases, similar to the hypnotic tapes seen on movies where the hypnotist repeats the same phrase again and again until the person listening begins to believe it — “We are under attack; we are under attack; we are under attack. Americans need to fight back; Americans need to fight back; Americans need to fight back.” I then woke up from the conservative hypnosis and asked myself, “Wait, do we really need to fight back or should we instead celebrate this historical victory for American citizens against corporate greed?” This is when I looked back on the last year and realized conservative commentators and politicians no longer seem to stand for the protection
of American’s rights and conservative values, but instead have sold their souls, so to speak, to corporate America — private insurance companies. The same companies making billions of dollars in profits by denying people with the cancer treatment needed to give them a chance at life, claiming, “It is an experimental procedure and therefore not covered under your policy.” The health bill passed by the House does not include a public option or fund most forms of abortion, plus it provides for the formation of health care co-ops — all aspects of health reform promoted by the conservative congress members. So why are they so angry when their own proposals were passed? Why did not a single one of them vote for the bill? Yes, it did pass sweeping regulation of private insurance companies, including preventing denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions and the capping of premiums, which will allow for citizens to purchase affordable, reliable and fair private health insurance. The conservative commentators on the air seemed to hate this idea; they said it was unconstitutional and socialist. Yes, the bill did close Medicare loopholes that will make coverage more affordable for the elderly. It did allow for more people to be eligible for Medicaid, and it will increase the number of Americans with health insurance by millions. Yet, not a single conservative commentator on the radio during my drive made any mention of these benefits. Could it be that these conservatives care more about the effect regulation will have on the profitability of private insurance companies than they do about the health care of the American people? After listening to all their rhetoric, reviewing
all their propositions and looking at their actions, this is the only logical explanation. If this is not true, then the only other logical theory would be that conservative politicians have become so hungry for power they will sacrifice the well-being of the American citizens in order to make the opposition party appear as a failure and un-American in order to win the upcoming elections. They will slander an entire political party — almost 50 percent of Americans who claim to be progressive — risk more Americans dying or going bankrupt due to denial of coverage by their insurance companies, and obstruct every bill proposed by Democrats in Congress no matter how beneficial to Americans simply to make themselves appear stronger. What is wrong with this picture? What has become of the conservative party in America? Everyone knows that uninsured Americans end up displacing the cost of their health care onto tax payers and also onto Americans who do carry insurance. This is a well agreed-upon fact. The way to fix this is to make sure that everyone has insurance through a mandate. Although, a mandate will only work if fair, affordable insurance is offered. The health care bill, through regulation of private insurance and government tax subsidies, provides fair, affordable insurance and can, in turn, mandate health coverage for all Americans, saving tax payers money and decreasing the cost of health care for everyone. Yet, not a single conservative commentator spoke of this and the benefits to our society. The only thing repeated on every talk show was how unconstitutional mandating health care is and that it is an attack on our civil liberties. I wonder
why? Our country has lots of mandates, ones that make our society stronger and our people better: a mandate for all children to attend kindergarten through 12th grade, a mandate for all people to have a driver’s license in order to drive, a mandate that we fill out a federal census every 10 years, a mandate to not drink and drive, mandate to wear a seat belt ... the list goes on. I never heard a single commentator or conservative politician claiming that those mandates are unconstitutional. Corporate America is not interested in our well-being, is not interested in providing the treatment for your cancer or covering the care for your child’s illness. Have the conservatives of the far right — the commentators and politicians — become the new voice for corporate America under the guise of conservative values and patriotism? Have they become a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Listen to them closely; examine what they are actually saying versus what they actually do. Educate yourself — don’t rely on the commentators, stand up for your intelligence and take back your ability to think for yourself. Turn off the radio and TV talk shows and wake up from the hypnosis, then take a look around. We are all Americans, we all care for each other and our nation, work hard for our country and cherish our values of equality and justice for all. We are greater than a political party, greater than corporate wealth, and greater than election year fodder. We are the citizens of the greatest country in the world. Are you ready to stand up for your self-worth again? I am.

Last no. 1 seed Duke advances to Final Four By Stephen Hawkins The Associated Press HOUSTON — Look who’s back in the Final Four. Duke restored some order to a topsy-turvy NCAA Tournament on Sunday, getting 29 points from Nolan Smith in a 78-71 victory over Baylor that put Coach K and the Blue Devils in college basketball’s biggest event for the first time in six years. Jon Scheyer added 20 points for Duke, ending Baylor’s charming run to redemption in the South Regional final. The Blue Devils became the only No. 1 seed to advance to Indianapolis and earned their 11th Final Four berth under coach Mike Krzyzewski. “I can’t put it into words,” said Lance Thomas, one of three Duke seniors. “It took us four years to get here and we’re not done yet.” The Blue Devils will play East Regional champion West Virginia in the national semifinals Saturday night. They have won 11 of their last 12 regional finals under Krzyzewski, but haven’t won a national title since 2001. Coach K made his first Final Four with Duke in 1986 and hadn’t had a gap this long between trips. To end the drought, Duke had to win at Reliant Stadium — only 3 1/2 hours from Baylor’s campus. Most of the crowd of 47,492 was dressed in the green and gold of the Bears. “We played against a great team,” Krzyzewski said. “It was such a wellplayed game, and we were fortunate to win.” Smith and Scheyer helped Duke (33-5) offset a poor game from junior forward Kyle Singler, who was 0 for 10 from the field and made only five free throws. It was the first time in his college career he failed to hit a field goal. LaceDarius Dunn had 22 points and Ekpe Udoh scored 18 for the thirdseeded Bears (28-8), whose program was in shambles when coach Scott Drew took over in the wake of murder and scandal less than seven years ago. Before hitting his 3-pointer early in the second half that finally got the Blue Devils rolling in a 70-57 victory over Purdue on Friday night, Scheyer — their leading scorer — had missed 17 of his previous 18 shots. Now he’s going to a Final Four with Coach K.

‘As good as advertised’ March 28
74-36 (36-0)
UD Arena
(25-8)
By Jordan Wickstrom Daily Staff Writer DAYTON, Ohio — Entering Sunday’s Sweet 16 game, it had been 74 straight contests since Connecticut had lost. Iowa State entered Sunday’s game hopeful of breaking that streak, but instead lost 74-36 and became win number 75 for the Huskies. “Connecticut is certainly as good as advertised,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “I don’t think I’ve had a whipping like that since I was a little kid and broke something of my mom’s.” Perhaps the result of Sunday’s game came as no real surprise to most followers of women‘s basketball as the Huskies featured a lineup with the 2009 Naismith National Player of the Year and multiple members of the All-Big East team. But for the Cyclones, the star power of Connecticut did not intimidate them nor force them to play as badly as they did. It was just simply not their day. Shots that normally would fall for the Cyclones were not falling. The Cyclones were out-rebounded 47-32 after going the entire season with a plus-8.7 rebounding margin. And Iowa State — a team that was among the Big 12’s leaders in fewest turnovers — allowed 18 turnovers, including five by senior point guard Alison Lacey. Despite all these factors that led to the loss, the Cyclones still maintained their never quit attitude they played with all season.
“All we could do was compete,” Lacey said. “We weren’t scared, we were excited to see how we would match up against them. It’s exciting to play a team like that; they are the best team we’ve ever seen.” With all the bad luck Iowa State was running into, Connecticut’s luck kept improving. The Huskies beat the Cyclones in every statistical category, including shooting 11-of-26 from beyond the arc. Maya Moore was 5-of-7 on 3-pointers, and freshman guard Kelly Faris hit all four of her attempts for the Huskies. Faris’ big day was what the Huskies had been hoping for, as she struggled from 3-point territory most of the season, shooting just .232. “My shots are finally falling. It took a little while,” Faris said. “Coach [Geno Auriemma] tells us all the time if we get open, don’t hesitate to shoot it. Right now my shots are falling, so I’m going to keep shooting, and if it’s not falling, I’m going to do something else to get someone else involved.” Sunday’s loss was not how the Cyclones had hoped to end the season. It was not their best performance of the year, but the Cyclones will not allow the way they played this game to reflect their accomplishments this season. “I feel bad for our players that our season didn’t end with a little better overall performance, but overall, what I think we can take away from this is an amazing year,” Fennelly said. “I’m very proud of our seniors, I’m very proud of our team, and unfortunately we didn’t get the kind of performance today that gave us a chance to beat arguably the best team I’ve ever seen.” For the five seniors on the Cyclones’ roster, it

Experience to use in the future Slew of young players have plenty to take from loss By Travis J. Cordes Daily Staff Writer DAYTON, Ohio — It was likely the largest defeat in a basketball game that any of them will ever have to endure. However, despite the brutal nature of the game, ISU players know it will ultimately serve them well in the end. A painstaking 38-point loss to Connecticut in the Sweet 16 might hurt for a while, but for four freshmen it can be turned into an invaluable learning experience that will last them for many years to come. At just 19 years old, Anna Prins and Chelsea Poppens spent the majority of Sunday defending Tina Charles, arguably the most dominant post player in the women’s college game. Over the next three years, few players, if any, will rival the athleticism and dominance displayed by the duo of Charles and her teammate Maya Moore. Being exposed to this type of harsh opposition so early in their careers will give the young Cyclones a platform of competition to aim for in the future. “You hope that they learn from it,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “What you want is for them to have a little bit of a passion to understand that this is the level they need to aspire to in order to get better. That’s how you move your game to the next level.” Combined with fellow freshmen Jessica Schroll and Amanda Zimmerman, Iowa State’s four first-year players played a total of 88 minutes and accounted for half of the team’s points against the Huskies on Sunday.

For a program that has a significant amount of production returning for next season, gaining an understanding of what it takes to compete in the postseason will be a priceless
commodity for players to have at this time next year. “This game will definitely affect us in the future, especially being forced out into tough play like this right away
in our careers,” Poppens said. “Hopefully next year we can do the same thing with the upcoming freshmen to help us keep building for the future.” At times, Fennelly had one senior, one sophomore and three freshmen on the court together. And although Iowa State had seemingly fixed its inconsistency and erratic tendencies that were apparent early in the year, all of that came crashing back down on the Cyclones thanks to Connecticut’s smothering play style. “When you play UConn, everything you do wrong is exposed,” Fennelly said. “And all of our young players were exposed in a little bit of a different way. So now you learn from it or you make excuses for it, and hopefully they can do the right thing with this in the offseason.” The Cyclones will have limited practice time and training sessions over the course of the next five months, and Fennelly said the players’ ability to let this game fuel their fire in the offseason is very important. With two freshmen junior college transfers and a high school senior set to join Iowa State next season, Kelsey Bolte will become the only senior on the roster. Although the Cyclones will once again be forced to produce very young lineups in the fall, having four sophomores with NCAA Sweet 16 experience gives the team the feeling that several veterans will be able to lead the way. “I’m really excited about what’s coming in the future,” Prins said. “Getting all of the exposure and experience we’ve had this year isn’t really normal for us, and I’m thankful that we all got this chance. We’ll be able to take quite a few things away from this game and I’m confident that this will all pay off in the future.”

Gymnastics
Cyclones falter, fall at Big 12 Championship Intimidated by opponents, Iowa State loses confidence
was at a home meet. Even though Ronayne said the practice Friday was easy, it wasn’t enough of a confidence booster for the team. “We are comfortable with the Nebraska equipment because we do compete there every year,” said sophomore Celine Paulus. “So it’s not that we weren’t comfortable with the equipment exactly, it was more of the atmosphere because it was the Big 12s. We have a really good conference for gymnastics and we’re all ranked really high in the nation, so it was more of just the atmosphere being with all four teams in the Big 12 as opposed to just the equipment.” Usually the Cyclones are successful at focusing on their own performances and ignoring the distractions of other teams. Paulus said the team was distracted Saturday and became intimidated by its competition. “It wasn’t our best meet,” Paulus said. “I feel like we were a little intimidated by the competition and we were not ourselves. We kind of just let the outside things get to us instead of focusing on just us and our performances. We were a little bit apprehensive, and I feel like we could have done a lot better like what we did in the last couple weeks.” The team is hoping to learn from its experience at the Big 12 meet in order to prepare for the NCAA Regional competition in two weeks. “We have the time to fix the little things and go into regionals being really confident,” Paulus said. “Before the meet last week we had a really good practice, but we didn’t go into the meet with the right attitude for success. I feel like we’re going to learn a lot from that, and we’ll be completely ready for regionals and hopefully place in top two so we can make it to nationals.”
By Kelsey Jacobs Daily Staff Writer The Cyclones proved they were capable of scoring high at Nebraska two weeks ago when they tied their season high score of 196.225. They were not able to bring that confidence to the Big 12 Championship on Saturday when Iowa State returned to the Daveny Center in Lincoln, Neb., finishing last. “[Saturday] we let an opportunity to perform and score well slip away,” said coach Jay Ronayne in a news release. “We have to take this as a learning experience because we have two weeks until regionals, and it will be a very similar environment. We need to be as sharp at regionals as we were the previous two weeks.” The three other teams the gymnasts faced were all ranked higher in the nation than the No. 16 Cyclones. Second-ranked Oklahoma won the conference title with a 197.175 while No. 12 Nebraska (196.625) and No. 14 Missouri (195.900) took second and third. Iowa State placed fourth with a score of 194.850 that was the team’s fourth lowest of the season, and more than a full point below the third-place Missouri. The day before the meet, the Cyclones practiced on the Nebraska equipment in order to get acclimated to the environment. Ronayne said the team was feeling comfortable at the Nebraska arena and tried to feel like it

Coaching
McCaffery destined for Iowa, frustrated fans, hopeful team By Luke Meredith The Associated Press Iowa has convinced Fran McCaffery to leave Siena to become the Hawkeyes’ new coach. Athletic director Gary Barta announced the hiring in a release Sunday and said McCaffery would be introduced in a news conference Monday in Iowa City. McCaffery went 112-51 in five seasons at Siena, leading the Saints to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Siena lost to Purdue in the first round this year and finished with a 27-7 record. McCaffery replaces Todd Lickliter, who was fired after Iowa went 10-22 this year. The Hawkeyes last made the NCAA Tournament in 2006 — losing to Northwestern State on a three at the buzzer — and coach Steve Alford left for New Mexico following the 2007 season. While Alford has built the Lobos into a force in the Mountain West Conference, Iowa hasn’t had a winning season since he left. Once one of the top programs in the Big Ten, the Hawkeyes went 38-58 under Lickliter while
sinking to the bottom of the league. McCaffery, a Philadelphia native who turns 51 in May, has taken three different programs to the NCAA Tournament as a head coach. He played college ball at Wake Forest and Penn. McCaffery spent six seasons at UNC-Greensboro, posting a 90-87 record, before taking over at Siena before the 2005-06 season. McCaffery also coached Lehigh for three seasons, guiding it to the NCAA Tournament in 1988, before leaving to become an assistant at Notre Dame. Though Iowa appeared to be on track for improvement in 2010-11, Barta let Lickliter go on March 15. Barta cited a slumping record, lagging attendance and dwindling revenue from ticket sales and contributions in announcing Lickliter’s dismissal. Lickliter saw a number of key players transfer during his tenure. One of McCaffery’s first duties is to make sure the Hawkeyes’ current core of players, including sophomores Matt Gatens and Aaron Fuller and promising freshmen Eric May and Cully Payne, stick around to help him rebuild the program.

Michigan State pulls off close win for Final Four slot will be looking for championship No. 3 next weekend in Indianapolis. They play Butler, also a No. 5 seed and sure to be the hometown favorite, in the semifinals Saturday night. The Spartans (28-8) led by as many as eight in the second half, but Brian Williams pulled sixth-seeded Tennessee (289) within 69-68 on a putback with 2:10 left. Korie Lucious, who took over as point guard after 2009 Big Ten player of the year Kalin Lucas ruptured his Achilles’ tendon last weekend, missed the front end of a 1-and1 with 29 seconds left and Scotty
Hopson got the rebound. Hopson was fouled at the other end, and made the first. After a Michigan State timeout, he missed the second and Lucious — generously listed at 5 feet 11 inches — ended up with the rebound. Draymond Green fed the ball inside to Morgan, who got hacked by J.P. Prince with 1.8 seconds left. Morgan made the first and, after timeouts by both teams, missed the second — on purpose. Williams came up with the rebound but Prince fumbled the inbounds pass and had to heave up a prayer just before the buzzer.

ST. LOUIS — Don’t bet against Tom Izzo and Michigan State this time of year. Raymar Morgan’s free throw with less than 2 seconds left gave the Spartans a 70-69 victory over Tennessee in the Midwest Regional final Sunday, sending Michigan State to its sixth Final Four in 12 years and second in a row. No team in the country — not North Carolina, not Kentucky, not UCLA — has done it better during that span. And all six trips have come under Izzo, the hard-nosed coach who preaches defense, rebounding and physical play. “I like it more than I used to,” Izzo said of playing in March. “It’s even better than I thought.” Oh, and how’s this for some symmetry? This happens to be the 10th anniversary of the “Flintstones,” the team that gave Michigan State its second national title. Highlights from that run were included in the video montage of past championships that played on the Edward Jones Dome’s massive Jumbotron during halftime. The fifth-seeded Spartans, last year’s national runner-up,

Iowa State loses to Kansas, K-State in nail-biting last matches By Dan Tracy Daily Staff Writer Fresh off a four-match winning streak that included victories over Big 12 opponents Missouri and Colorado, Iowa State hit the road again for a pair of
matches with Kansas and Kansas State over the weekend. Against Kansas on Friday, the Cyclones were in search of not only their third Big 12 victory of the season, but also the first victory over the Jayhawks since 1980.
The day started off well for Iowa State as the No. 3 doubles pair of junior Liza Wischer and senior Alyssa Palen defeated Kansas’ Sara Lazarevic and Maria Martinez 8-2. After losing the No. 1 doubles match, the sophomore tandem of Tessa Lang
and Maria Macedo fought off a late rally by Kunigunda Dorn and Victoria Khanevskaya and sealed the doubles point for the Cyclones with a 8-6 victory. In singles play, Lang defeated Martinez 6-2, 6-3 at the No. 3 position, and after being down a
set at the No. 6 position, Wischer battled back to defeat Khanevskaya 3-6, 6-2, 6-2. The match was all knotted up at 3-3 after junior Erin Karonis, freshman Jenna Langhorst and sophomore Marie-Christine Chartier were defeated in their singles

matches. In the final singles match of the day, Macedo squared off against Lazarevic in what would be a see-saw battle for the team victory. Macedo won the first set 7-6 (7-1) in a tiebreaker before falling in the second set 6-3. The final set once again went to a tiebreaker where the freshman Lazarevic edged Macedo 7-6 (7-4) to clinch the 4-3 victory for the Jayhawks. “We played like we just didn’t want it as much,” said coach Armando Espinosa. “We just need to learn to capitalize on our opportunities [to win].” On Sunday, Iowa State traveled 80 miles west to Manhattan, Kan., to take on another Big 12 opponent in Kansas State. Last season, the Wildcats were on the losing end of a 4-3 matchup with the Cyclones, a win that was Iowa State’s first over a Big 12 opponent since 2002. The host Wildcats (9-4, 1-2 Big 12) succeeded in their quest for revenge as they turned the table on the Cyclones with a 4-3 victory of their own, Kansas State’s first Big 12 victory of the season. Individual results were not available at the time of publication. Espinosa now hopes his team will learn from the two close losses as they finish out the remainder the Big 12 Conference schedule. “Hopefully [the losses] will teach us that people won’t just roll over because we won a couple matches,” Espinosa said. All six of the Cyclone’s remaining Big 12 matches will be against teams currently ranked in the top 75 nationally. The Cyclones (9-8, 2-3) will be back on the courts this weekend when they will host their final two regular season matches at the South Ames Racquet and Fitness Center against No. 43 Nebraska on Friday and No. 67 Texas Tech on Sunday.
STREAK from PAGE 10
marked the end of their historic careers at Iowa State. Lacey and fellow seniors Denae Stuckey, Anna Florzak, Shellie Mosman and Genesis Lightbourne will all leave Iowa State with 99 victories in their careers, good for the third-most in school history. “I’m just thankful to be able to play for a team like Iowa State,” Stuckey said. “I got a lot out of it, and it’s probably one of the best things that has happened to me in my life.” Lacey will leave as the school’s first and only player to score at least 1,500 points, have 500 rebounds and dish out 500 assists. Her career is now over, but she will never forget her time as a member of the ISU women’s basketball team. “This is the best thing that has ever happened to me,” Lacey said. “To move here [from Australia] has changed my life and the person I am. It’s been the best experience of my life.”

Divers inspect the deeper areas of Lake LaVerne on Saturday in order to eliminate its depths as a possible location for Jon Lacina. Search members from several local law enforcement agencies, aided by a team from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office of Minnesota, walked the lake and used divers, as well as sonar equipment, to provide a thorough inspection of the lake bottom. They found no evidence of the missing student. Photo: Logan Gaedke/Iowa State Daily

but no sign of Lacina. Later, a boat equipped with sonar equipment mapped the deep areas of the lake, which can reach up to 15 feet deep. Another piece of sonar equipment was dropped into the lake in order to map smaller areas and give more clarity to objects of interest. Divers were then sent in to analyze areas of interest, which were determined to be items
such as tree stumps, debris or parts of the lake’s aeration system. Stewart said the investigation into Lacina’s disappearance is ongoing, although he said there are no significant leads currently. Investigators have not ruled out foul play or voluntary disappearance, although Stewart said Lacina’s family and friends strongly believe Lacina would not have chosen to disappear. Several people have turned in cell phones found in yards and ditches, but all of them were traced back to owners other than Lacina. Stewart said officers con-
tinue to check snow piles on a daily basis and will continue to do so until the snow has melted. Lacina, senior in graphic design, was last seen at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 22 leaving 300 Stanton Ave. His father, Tom, reported him missing to ISU Police on Jan. 30 after repeated attempts to contact him were unsuccessful. A reward of $10,000 is being offered by Jon Lacina’s parents for any information leading to the his location. Anyone with information is still encouraged to call to call the ISU Police at 515-2944428.

on behalf of the campaign, and concluded his list with a thank-you e-mail that was sent to Boggess after the mass e-mail was sent. Porter explained to the court that this year’s commission contained only two returning members. Porter said he didn’t want to review the election code until after the election was over because it is hard to review a code when you have never participated in the experience it is outlining. Porter said that it was not the 2010 Election Commission’s fault for shortcomings in last year’s commission. Phillips asked why the returning members had not been removed from the commission if there had been negligence in last year’s review. Porter said he did not feel it was one person’s

from PAGE 1 you live next door to,” Epps said. The celebration started when a group of four Chinese performers, dressed as lions, danced on stage and across the room to the rhythm of drums and greeted the audience. Jinqian Yu, senior in accounting, performed a traditional Mongolian dance, which told the story of a young girl and her happiness. Shortly after, a group of eight students from the Indian Student Association performed dances that represented traditional and popular culture of India. The Bhangra Club performed as well. The dancers’ moves symbolized aspects of the Indian lifestyle and nature, such as labor, rain, thunder and commitment. “Since the beginning of February we have been practicing about twice a week,” said Rajin Olson, sophomore in electrical engineering and member of the Bhangra Club.
The Middle Eastern dance group Raqs Jahanara entertained the audience with belly dance choreographies and taught some of the basic steps of the sensuous dance style. A fashion showcase was put on by the African Student Association, in which 12 models walked and wore designs based on modern and traditional attires in countries such as Nigeria, Congo and Cameroon. Another dance was performed by the Celtic Dance Society, in which the dancers showed off Scottish country dancing moves and emphasized the importance of bringing people together. Descarga Latin Dance Club performed three dances, which symbolized the Latin American culture through the rhythm of salsa, mambo and bachata. Roberto Orozco, sophomore in pre-business, presented a series of Mexican folklore dances. While the girls danced in colorful dresses, a guy twirled and jumped with machetes in his hands and placed a glass of water of top of his head. One of the
girls on stage joined him. At the end of their performance, they all got off the stage and encouraged people in the audience to get up and dance. Eva Morales, senior in interdisciplinary studies and multicultural director for SUB, said she was satisfied with the event, even though it took place late on a Friday evening. “There were some technical difficulties, and some things didn’t go as smoothly as they could’ve, but overall we had a great turnout,” Morales said. “My favorite part of the show was the Mexican dance. They allowed us to get involved, the steps were pretty easy to learn, and I had fun,” said German Parada, freshman in chemical engineering. Samantha Bowman, sophomore in psychology, said she was happy to experience the different cultures that make up Iowa State. “My favorite part was the Mexican folklore dance, the part where they danced with glasses of water on their heads,” Bowman said.
