Aftershocks cause additional damage By Sarah Gonzalez Daily Staff Writer Chile continues to feel the aftershocks of the earthquake that hit its western border early Saturday. The aftershocks have produced at least 80 small earthquakes since the initial 90-second, magnitude 8.8 shook the nation. Approximately nine of these smaller earthquakes have been greater than magnitude 6.0, which is strong enough to make the news in the United States, said Cinzia Cervato, associate professor in geological and atmospheric sciences. “These are quite a lot of earthquakes,” she said. “To have so many at six or stronger means a lot of energy was built up and is [waiting] to be released.” Chile’s western coast lies on the ring of fire, an area that encompasses most of the Pacific Ocean and is often disrupted by volcanoes and earthquakes. The strongest earthquake ever recorded at a magnitude 9.5 also hap-

pened in Chile on May 22, 1960. Saturday’s earthquake occurred at the boundary between a piece of the Pacific tectonic plate, the Nazca plate and the South American plate. The Nazca is sliding under the western side of the South American plate in a process called subduction. Subduction zones, which run the entire
western length of South America and into Central America, provide the most powerful earthquakes, said Carl Jacobson, professor and department chair of geological and atmospheric sciences. Subduction also caused the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake near the city of Sumatra, Indonesia. Most of
the approximately 230,000 casualties were from the tsunami caused by that earthquake. Saturday’s earthquake also generated tsunamis in Chile and throughout the Pacific. The Nazca and South American plates are two large areas that, when shifted, create a large disturbance. As the Nazca plate is being pulled down beneath the South American plate, the South American plate rides up over the Nazca. “It’s like when you put your hand in a bathtub and push, it will generate a wave,” Jacobson said. The epicenter of Saturday’s magnitude 8.8 earthquake was offshore approximately 70 miles northeast of Concepcion — the nearest large city — and 20 miles below the surface. A warning system allowed people in the coastal areas of Chile to evacuate, however, no warning system existed for the people affected by the Indian Ocean earthquake of 2004. The earthquake was significantly weaker, but also had a higher casualty rate due to the lack of warning and preparedness.

Election
Etiquette dinner to teach do’s, do nots
Commission pushes back revenue deadline
By Chelsea Davis Daily Staff Writer
According to the 2010 GSB election timeline, posted on the GSB’s Web site, a preliminary announcement of the election results will be made at 7 p.m. Thursday. The deadline for reporting revenue and expenses was pushed back from 5 p.m. Wednesday to 5 p.m. Friday. Dan Porter, GSB election commissioner, said the deadline was pushed back because the commission had been unable to track down original copies of the forms used to submit the information. Porter said he was initially going to have the candidates send in Excel spreadsheets of their expenditures, but, after e-mailing the election commissioner from two years ago, he was able to get copies of the original document. Porter then asked the candidates to move their spending information over to the commission’s form and gave them an extended deadline in order to make the switch. Election contestations were due to the election commission by 11:59 p.m. Wednesday. Any decisions made would have been made past the Iowa State Daily’s publication deadline.

Anyone from the Ames community or Iowa State can learn how to properly go through a four-course meal Thursday night as part of the ISU Hotel and Restaurant Institution Management Club and Colleges Against Cancer’s etiquette dinner. The Mad Hatter Tea Party will be held at 6:30 p.m. in the Joan Bice Underwood Tearoom in MacKay Hall. Patricia Tice, owner of Etiquette Iowa, will instruct the proper way to eat certain items that can be applied in future interviews or business meals. “She will show us how to eat in order to not look stupid,” said Sarah Hodgson,
junior in hotel, restaurant and institution management and president of HRIM Club. HRIM Club and Colleges Against Cancer are using this dinner as a fundraiser and all proceeds going directly to the American Cancer Society. This year’s dinner will be a “what not to do” dinner. “It’s called the Mad Hatter Tea Party’ because of our team name, ‘Alice in Wonderland Tea Party,’ and because in the movie the Mad Hatter is so crazy and obscene,” Hodgson said. Admission is $25.00. Doors are planned to open at 6 p.m. The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. For tickets or more information, contact Cyndi at crathmac@ iastate.edu.

The GSB Senate voted to allow the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center to carry over its funding to the next fiscal year, if need be, by a vote of 25 to 1. Renovations on the Women’s Center aren’t scheduled to begin until May, and by allowing the house to hold its allocated money over until the following fiscal year it ensures that the Women’s Center will be able to purchase some furnishings for the structure once the renovations are complete. Penny Rice, Women’s Center coordinator, attended the meeting to answer any questions. She said that the biggest problem with the house currently is the air quality. Rice said that an architect came to the house in 2008 and said there were also problems with water and ice damage. The total renovations for the Women’s Center are expected to total about $120,000. Facilities Planning and Management is putting up $90,000 for the project. The money comes from an account that goes toward renovating existing build-

Ames City Council
Zoning met with little resistance By Allison Suesse Daily Staff Writer The Ames City Council approved a motion to establish a new zoning designation for commercial areas located near residential areas. The Convenience General Service area was established as a result of a prospective development of a Casey’s General Store located near a residential area. Because the store will be located near residents’ homes, changes to the structure of the building, including variations in the current code that will minimize noise impacts of the gas station, will be implemented. Some council members, including Riad Mahayni, expressed concerns with the new zoning designation. He said the council cannot make new zoning designations every time a new project comes up. The proposal to build a Casey’s at the intersection of Bloomington and Stange Roads was the first proposal that inspired a request for variance in code for Convenience Commercial Nodes [CVCN]. However, most council members were in support of this change. “With these changes it will still be complementary to the neighborhood, and I feel that’s reasonable,” said council member Tom Wacha. Council member Matthew Goodman was also in support of the new zoning designation for the Casey’s. “These changes are pretty small; they don’t go against the intent of the CVCN guidelines,” he said. Also on the council agenda was a report from Ames Fire Chief Clint Petersen about rental and private property maintenance code. On March 30, council will hold a roundtable discussion that will address research compiled by the inspections division of the Ames Fire Department. After three years of discussion and effort, city council will review the information compiled through resident surveys and research regarding property maintenance codes. Last year, the inspections division established an ad hoc group, the Rental

232-3669
What was your best day as Editor in Chief? It’s really hard to choose, because the best days are those when the people around you are really starting to get it — learning how to do really good journalism, and it’s exciting to get to call them on it.
What’s one piece of advice you’d give to future Editors in Chief? Work hard. Work early (or late). Work often. Stay ahead as much as possible, because it’s easy to get inundated with the day-to-day. Think outside of the box — dream big. Challenge your staff to do as well as you know they’re capable of. Too often, people settle for what it takes just to get by.

Caucus Cup
Same-sex marriage debate rages Democrats win over Republicans in discussion over topic By Chelsea Davis Daily Staff Writer The debate grew heated Wednesday night as the ISU Democrats and ISU College Republicans went back and forth arguing over the definition of marriage and the cloudy concepts involved in homophobia, religion and civil unions. The ISU Democrats won the debate and will get to select the topic for next year’s discussion. Accusations of homophobia fired up Corey Becker, senior in political science and member of the ISU College Republicans. “Obviously [President Barack] Obama doesn’t believe everything on his party’s platform,” Becker said. “If you’re going to call us homophobic, you have to call your president that, too.” Logan Pals, senior in industrial engineering and member of the ISU College Republicans, said his sister, who is in her third year of seminary, are “scared to death of being forced to perform gay
marriages.” Adam Kenworthy, senior in English and member of ISU Democrats, came back and said, “Saying your sister is ‘scared to death’ of performing gay marriages leads people to the conclusion that there is homophobia behind your motives.” As the Democrats and Republicans went back and forth, the Iowa resolution at stake — along with the First Amendment — were repeated and enforced throughout the night. The resolution states, “Iowa shall amend its Constitution to define marriage as being between one man and one woman.” The Republicans summarized their arguments, stating that though they believe marriage should be defined as between one man and one woman it does not mean they are the only people who should be able to have access to these rights. The Democrats ended their argument saying same-sex marriage is completely equal rights, and civil unions are not equal, but separate. “I’ve talked to many people in my four years in politics,” Becker said. “The majority does not have a problem with [same-sex marriage]; it’s the wording.” Kenworthy tried to clear up the potential cloudiness of many of the is-

The ISU Diversity Network was funded $220 for an ethnic food night. The president of the group said this is the group’s first year as an official club, but she did hold an event similar to this last year and had about 70 people show up. This year’s event is set to be held at 7 p.m. March 26 in the South Ballroom of the Memorial Union. A bill written by Senator Tyler Albaugh and closing a nonexistent loophole was discussed at the meeting. The bill changes a line in the by-laws to make it clearer that a group that has received funding within the current fiscal year from another constituency council cannot receive money from the GSB in the same year. There was an amendment proposed by Senator Anthony Maly making it so that stated

sues that were brought up during the debate. “Churches are private institutions that are not being ‘forced’ [to marry gay couples],” he said. “It’s not in the Su-
groups couldn’t receive funding within the same academic semester. Engineering Senator Dan Finnegan didn’t agree with the amendment and said if the GSB were to make this change to the bylaws that the Engineering Student Council wouldn’t even budget for the spring semester and the GSB would see an influx of engineering groups in the spring. Finance Director Tom Danielson didn’t agree with this because most of the groups would still fall under the category of a pre-professional group, or a group that is affiliated with a certain major. The amendment failed, but the bill, which made it a one fiscal year time gap between being able to get funding from a council to receiving GSB funding, passed. The bill which amended the constitution did take a two-thirds vote to pass and was passed by 18 to 9. Vice-Speaker Jacob Wilson was out of the room at the time of the vote. Hallie Satre and Nicole Cortum, copresidents of the Veishea Committee, showed a video to the senate, and said they were excited to showcase Iowa State during this year’s events.

Peterson noted in the presentation that 71 percent of code violations were located on private residence property and that the other 29 percent were located on rental property. The Private Residence Property Advisory Committee will serve the same purpose as the Rental Housing Advisory Committee in compiling new ideas for private housing maintenance codes. At the roundtable discussion March 30, the Ames City Council will address questions that include the topic of what the city should do with buildings that are no longer viable under new codes, Assessing the issue of what to do about residents that cannot maintain their own property will also be addressed.

The group compiled research on rental housing maintenance codes from other cities, including towns home to other Big 12 universities. The data indicated that Ames had fewer property maintenance codes than most other Big 12 university towns. More recently, another ad hoc group was established to revisit and look into potential changes that could be made to the private residence maintenance code.

Company to build plant in U.S. By Dinesh Ramde Associated Press Writer MILWAUKEE — A Spanish train company that agreed to build an assembly plant in Wisconsin said Tuesday that it has chosen a site in Milwaukee, creating about 125 new jobs in the city. Talgo Inc. chose Milwaukee over other options in Appleton, Janesville and Racine because of the city’s access to a harbor and local rail station, the availability of skilled workers and the reasonable cost of living, said Antonio Perez, the company’s chief executive. The new facility will be on the site of a former Tower Automotive plant. Perez said it has enough room to accommodate train sets of 14 railcars and also allows room for expansion as more orders roll in. “We don’t intend to come here for two years and then get out,” Perez said. “We plan to be here for a long time.” The deal will also bring an estimated 450 jobs to Midwest companies that will provide supplies and related services, Perez said. Talgo had said it would build its U.S. assembly plant in the first state to order trains. Wisconsin won after last July Gov. Jim Doyle said the state would buy two trains for a total of $47 million. Oregon has since ordered two trains, which will also be made in Milwaukee, Doyle said Tuesday. Wisconsin’s two trains are for Amtrak’s Milwaukee-to-Chicago line. The state also has an option for two additional trains to serve a proposed Milwaukee-to-Madison route. State lawmakers approved spending $810 million in federal stimulus funding last month on the Milwaukee-Madison line over GOP objections that it would cost too much and be underused. The budget committee also voted unanimously to ac-

cept another $12 million in federal stimulus money to make improvements to the Milwaukee-Chicago line. Each Talgo train will seat 420 people, up from the current 350-per-train capacity. Initially, the trains will go no faster than 79 mph, which is the current limit for most Amtrak trains. Once safety upgrades are made along the lines and new locomotives are acquired in 2015, the trains could go as fast as 110 mph. As more states pursue their own highspeed rail lines, it’s likely their train orders will also be filled in Milwaukee, Doyle said. “Wisconsin is in the leadership of what will be the Midwest high-speed network,” Doyle said, adding, “As we develop the ex-
pertise and the capacity, this is where trains are going to be built.” Talgo said it would begin manufacturing Wisconsin’s two trains by November and finish by next July. Perez acknowledged that was an aggressive deadline but said most of the preliminary work, including identifying American suppliers, is complete. Talgo’s parent company, Madrid-based Patentes Talgo SL, builds high-speed trains used in countries including Spain, Germany, Kazakhstan and Bosnia. Talgo runs five trains in the state of Washington with a headquarters and maintenance facility in Seattle. Doyle visited Spain last winter to meet with company officials and rode their trains around the country.

Natural Disasters
Halted insurance worries Midwest By Wayne Ortman Associated Press Writer SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — It’s going to be a wet spring for much of the nation’s midsection, if flood forecasts are to be believed, and federal officials have been encouraging homeowners in some of the most flood-prone areas to insure their properties. But officials began turning away worried residents seeking a National Flood Insurance Program policy Sunday because authorization for the program ended. The Senate approved a stopgap measure Tuesday night that had been
held up in Washington by Sen. Jim Bunning’s, R-Ky., filibuster. Policies acquired before March 1 are not affected. Federal Emergency Management Agency officials have been encouraging interested homeowners to get their applications in order so they would be prepared to move quickly once the program resumed. Bunning had been singlehandedly holding up stopgap legislation for days to extend help for the jobless, keep federal highway dollars flowing and fund the flood insurance program. He relented after pressure intensified with Monday’s cutoff of road funding and lon-

plication, according to a statement released by his office. The program, created in 1968, mandates that homeowners in the most floodprone areas buy insurance. Homeowners obtain the policies through private insurance agents, but the federal government pays its administrative costs and damage claims. In Fargo, N.D., and neighboring Moorhead, Minn., last year’s flooding along the Red River is still in the minds of homeowners, and this year’s deep snowpack and saturated soil make for ideal conditions for heavy flooding. The forecast is less dire but still ominous for parts of other states, including South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri.
ger and more generous unemployment benefits and health insurance subsidies for the jobless. Bunning was seeking to force Democrats to finance the $10 billion measure so that it wouldn’t add to the deficit. Still, it may be too late to protect prospective applicants from some spring flooding because of a requirement that policies be in effect for 30 days before any flood damage is covered. That 30-day window won’t start until the program is reauthorized, Jerry DeFelice, a spokesman with FEMA’s regional office in Denver, said before the Senate’s vote. Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., is pressing for legislation that would give applicants retroactive coverage to the date of ap-

AUSTIN, Texas — Debra Medina was hardly the ideal candidate in Tuesday’s Republican primary: She didn’t raise much money and came under fire for suggesting the United States might have been involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. Still, she won nearly 1 out of every 5 votes, harnessing some support in the nascent tea party movement. The growing influence of the movement could be seen in the GOP primary, but Medina, who got 18.5 percent of the overall vote, wasn’t the biggest winner. That was Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who avoided a runoff with Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, R-Texas, winning 51 percent of the vote, in part because of his own push for tea party sympathizers. “There’s a growing movement afoot, but it’s really more of an attitude at this point than it is an organized effort,” Perry pollster Mike Baselice said Wednesday of tea party voters. Baselice, who tracked GOP voters in the four weeks leading up to the primary, found 61 percent of those who said they share all the views of the tea party movement voted for Perry, not Medina. Medina took 24 percent of those votes, and Hutchinson had 15 percent. That analysis was backed up Wednesday by tea party activists who weighed in on the race, which now shifts to the fall general election. Perry will run against the Democratic nominee, ex-Houston Mayor Bill White, who handily disposed of six opponents in his primary. “A lot of people wanted to attribute Debra Medina’s campaign to the tea party. On balance, I think most of them were leaning toward Perry. I think it’s significant that he avoided the runoff,” said Greg Holloway, a board member with Austin Tea Party Patriots. He acknowledged that Medina — a gun-toting, libertarianleaning businesswoman from Wharton — appealed to discontented Texans. Medina fought her way into the two televised debates with the better-known Perry and Hutchinson and held
her own, boosting her statewide following. “People really liked her view that government in general had become too big and wasn’t responsive to the people,” Holloway said. Phillip Dennis, founder of Dallas Tea Party, said even with her third-place finish Medina “did a pretty remarkable job without a name and no money running against two well-known opponents.” Dennis, who would not reveal who he voted for because his group does not endorse candidates, said Medina’s position as a government outsider and her fiscal conservative stance helped attract conservative voters. “It didn’t drive enough, did it?” he said. “I know the Glenn Beck episode cost her. It cost her with some tea party members.” That “episode” was an interview with radio talk show host Beck on Feb. 11 in which she said there were “some very good arguments” that the United States was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. She later tried to back away from the statement. Baselice, the Perry pollster, found that as more Republican voters heard or read her remarks about 9-11, the more her support tapered off or dropped. Holloway, the Austin-based tea party activist, said those statements “hurt her a lot.” Other factors came into play. The Republicans’ intense competition spurred voter participation, including some traditional Democrats who said they crossed over party lines to get in on the high-profile GOP election. The GOP saw a primary turnout of 1.48 million voters, a record for all Texas Republican primaries dating back to 1970, the earliest year for which state records are available. Perry hammered away at an anti-Washington theme aimed at veteran senator Hutchinson. And Hutchinson created some problems of her own. She never left the Senate to campaign full time in Texas, even though she said she would. Hutchinson, who has still not said when she will leave the Senate, won only 30 percent of the vote. She has said she will leave after the health care debate is over.

Ukraine

No-confidence vote ousts prime minister By Anna Melnichuk and Simon Shuster Associated Press Writers KIEV, Ukraine — Parliament ousted Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko in a no-confidence motion Wednesday that could end a political deadlock that has forced Ukraine to cope with a severe economic crisis without a budget. Parliament now has 30 days to form a new governing coalition, and it is expected to coalesce around newly elected President Viktor Yanukovych’s Party of Regions. It would then be able to put forward a new prime minister. In her last minutes as premier, Tymoshenko, who lost last month’s presidential election, vowed to lead the opposition to Russia-friendly Yanukovych and continue the pro-Western stance she knows well from helping lead the Orange Revolution protests that had brought her to power. But Yanukovych appears to have sufficient support in parliament to end the political gridlock and that has plagued Ukraine’s 47 million people for years. After the no-confidence resolution passed with 243 votes in the 450-seat chamber, Yanukovych met with the heads of Ukraine’s parliamentary factions. “I would like to quickly agree on the creation of a majority coalition,” he told them. Since 2005, Tymoshenko’s feuds with former President Viktor Yushchenko and with Yanukonyvch have stalled decision making as the global financial crisis struck Ukraine harder than many other European countries. In 2009, the nation’s economy shrank by 15
percent. The government failed to pass a budget for 2010, leading the International Monetary Fund to cite the lack of political consensus as a reason for freezing part of a $16.4 billion bailout loan. If no new coalition is formed, Yanukovych will be able to disband parliament and call early elections. But Speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn’s party — which had been part of Tymoshenko’s coalition but voted overwhelmingly against her Wednesday — signaled Yanukovych’s party has enough support to avoid snap elections. “They will be able to gather the minimum 226 votes,” said Mykola Tomenko, the deputy head of Lytvyn’s bloc. “At least a temporary coalition will come together, enough to form a government.” Analysts said that with Tymoshenko sidelined, a new coalition and a cooperative prime minister will ease the way for badly needed reforms. “A new coalition, if formed, won’t be totally heterogeneous. But it should calm the passions down, and such vital issues as the state budget, as well as economic and political stabilization, should be resolved faster,” said Yuri Yakimenko, a political analyst at the Razumkov Center, a Kiev think tank. Addressing the chamber ahead of Wednesday’s vote, Tymoshenko said she would embrace her new role as an opposition leader, and her speech showed a fervor that was absent during the tumultuous weeks following her election defeat. She said her new goal will be to hold Yanukovych and his team to account for every decision they make. “We will protect Ukraine from this new calamity that has befallen her,” she said.

50 missing students among feared dead in landslides By Godfrey Olukya Associated Press Writer NAMETSI, Uganda — During heavy rains, village elders told schoolchildren to seek shelter in the hospital. That sanctuary turned into a death trap, leaving more than 50 pupils missing and among hundreds feared dead as avalanches of mud slammed into three villages.
When Beatrice Nabuduwa’s 12-year-old daughter failed to come home after school Monday, the mother assumed her child had stayed over at an aunt’s because of the rain. By Wednesday she accepted the situation, and said she wished God would have taken her life instead. Rescuers used hand tools to dig through the thick rivers of mud that engulfed the hos-
pital and buried worshippers. Workers late Wednesday found the bodies of six more students from the hospital, raising the confirmed death toll to 92, said Kevin Nabutuwa of the Uganda Red Cross. At least four people were plucked alive Wednesday from the wreckage, two days after the mud slides began, but more than 250 are missing, said Nabutuwa.
Crime
Mexico drug violence mimics small nation trends By Juan Carlos Llorca and Julie Watson Associated Press Writers GUATEMALA CITY — The arrests of Guatemala’s drug czar and national police chief underscore how deeply the world’s multibillion-dollar drug industry can corrupt small countries with weak institutions — a trend the Obama administration warned Wednesday threatens global security. As U.S.-funded wars pressure cartels in Mexico and Colombia, drug gangs are increasingly infiltrating vulnerable countries, particularly in Latin America and Africa. Drug profits total about $394 billion a year, according to the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime — dwarfing the gross domestic products of many nations and making them
easy prey for cartels. “Violent traffickers are relocating to take advantage of these permissive environments and importing their own brand of justice,” U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s intelligence chief Anthony Placido said Wednesday in testimony before a U.S. House subcommittee. Areas with limited or poor governance become breeding grounds for other types of crime, Placido added, noting that 18 of 44 designated terrorist groups also have links to the international drug trade. Few countries exemplify the corruption more than Guatemala, where the current government’s drug czar and the national police chief were arrested Tuesday as the alleged leaders of a gang of police who stole more than 1,500 pounds of cocaine
from traffickers. Nelly Bonilla and National Police Chief Baltazar Gomez were the latest in a string of top law enforcement jailed for drug-related corruption in recent years. “That the national police chief from 2009 is in jail and now the national police chief from 2010 is also in jail is certainly not good news. It gives an idea of an institution gravely infiltrated by criminal networks and shaken by corruption,” said Carlos Castresana, the top investigator of a United Nation’s investigative commission that helped build the case against Bonilla and Gomez.
The latest embarrassment for Guatemala’s U.S.-funded drug war came only days before the arrival of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who will wind up her tour of Latin America in Guatemala on Friday. Clinton will make clear that the Obama administration wants Latin American countries to do more to root out corruption. “A number of them are not taking strong enough stands against the erosion of the rule of law because of the pressure from drug traffickers,” Clinton told reporters during her trip.

Editorial:
Media:
Blame falls on candidates for code violation
More than news to amuse
The GSB election code clearly states that no e-mail may be sent to an ISU listservs less than 24 hours prior to the polls opening. Inter-Residence Hall Association President Jason Boggess’s e-mail endorsing the Roling-Dobbels ticket was sent 14 minutes after the polls opened. This editorial won’t argue right or wrong; the message was a clear violation. In fact, the Roling-Dobbels campaign faces substantial fines, the details of which were outlined in yesterday’s paper. This editorial is to clarify, and serve as a stark reminder to any future GSB candidates: You are responsible for the actions of your endorsers. This, unfortunately, is by necessity. By allowing an individual or organization to endorse a campaign, he, she or it become a part of the campaign. It becomes the campaign’s responsibility to ensure that endorsing parties understand relevant regulations. Failure to oversee an endorsement must fall solely on the candidates shoulders, as it has. Boggess will not face direct consequences, because GSB has no power over his actions. Whether the IRHA will take any action is yet to be seen. The mistakes made by the candidates and by Jason Boggess are unfortunate, and may tarnish the election’s outcome, regardless of intention. Roling and Dobbels had a responsibility to explain the election code to Boggess, and we may never know if the regulations were adequately outlined. Boggess, as a former GSB presidential candidate himself, surely must have understood that the election code would govern his actions. Regardless of who knew what, the blame now falls on the candidates — but this situation should catalyze an improvement of the GSB election process. The now famous “endorsement form” is completely worthless. This form is the only record of interaction between campaign and endorser. In this regard, the form fails its primary purpose and requires a major update. First, the form should clearly state that responsibility for actions of an endorsing party is fully assumed by the campaign. Second, it should state the possible consequences for failure to endorse within the limitations of the election code. Nowhere are fines, outcome contention or disqualification mentioned. Third, the election code should be prominently referenced as the guiding force in the form’s development. The current document briefly mentions the election code: “Please see election code for further details” appears after a lengthy statement about financial endorsements, and it’s font is four points smaller than the rest of the document. This is perhaps the most telling deficiency in this document: the critical, more detailed material is — literally — referenced in fine print. Should two qualified candidates, and a former candidate have known better? Certainly. Would another reminder have hurt anyone? Of course not. If the election committee is going to require a signed document for endorsement it should include more relevant information: including the date of the document’s signature, the signature of the candidates and clear referrals to the election code. Without these things, we can expect more awkward situations down the road. This complicated situation has no clearcut solution, leaving the intentions and character of the involved people open to subjective interpretation. Let’s learn from this outcome and improve the process.

T
he Winter Olympic Games — now a week old — will be missed, though not by me. CNBC’s news blurbs sandwiched between curling coverage was a constant reminder of the world I left behind when I switched from 24-hour cable news to National Public Radio. Why the switch? Simple: NPR offers a respite from the irrelevant story-telling, frantic pace, constant commercials and heavy editorializing of 24-hour cable news networks. To articulate the differences between the two, I watched the morning news exclusively for a week, then listened to NPR exclusively the following week making observations along the way. In order to eliminate perceived political bias, I chose CNN for my television news (instead of say MSNBC or Fox). To begin, I pose this question: What does traditional news, a collection of stories involving murders, plane crashes and car accidents have to do with you? If you were in the car accident being featured, the answer may be, “I was in a car accident.” However, if you lie within the remaining portion of the population not involved in the said car accident, the answer is likely not much or even nothing. Here, a discrepancy can be observed. The week of Jan. 31, the morning CNN broadcasted stories about the Toyota recall, marijuana in California and a viral video of a car driving through a window. In that same week, NPR featured stories about a plane crash in New Jersey, President Barack Obama’s budget, the Toyota recall and national trends in the housing market. Not all stories on NPR were of national interest, but my observations saw a larger percentage contained a national relevance than CNN’s programming. So why report exciting news over relevant news? A casual observer may conclude that the sensational nature of CNN’s stories suggests that what is important to them is maintaining viewer interest, and of course, maintain it they do. Turning on CNN, MSNBC or Fox News, you are not only met by many fantastic stories, but copious amounts of information and flashing graphics. In my study, I found that CNN covered four stories in six minutes. The stories themselves contained the main video, the story headline, the CNN logo and a crawl along the bottom — all of which changed regularly. The CNN logo flashed and changed to another CNN logo while the crawl ran a circuit of headlines once every three minutes. Backgrounds between stories were often bright, quickly changing and dramatic. I may have selected these elements to prove a point, however, I only noticed them because my eyes were naturally drawn to them. I doubt this is a coincidence. A flickering television, according to “Television and the Quality of Life,” by Robert William Kubey and Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, activates the evolutionary adaptation that dictated our ancestors to observe a rustling bush for predators. This same adaptation is exploited by television news to ensure that we acknowledge their media. However, we are not necessarily processing the information, we are simply
Often times traditional news has nothing to do with you. News programs tend to report on exciting news over relevant stories, hoping to simply maintain viewer interest. NRP, however, allows for the opportunity to consume and interpret. Courtesy photo: Thinkstock

looking in that direction. NPR, by virtue of possessing no visual element, allows you to listen to and process the information being provided. The effectiveness of NPR’s journalism is compounded by the fact that they address stories at a much slower rate. Each story was generally about three minutes long with less commentary and more detail. Although this initially lay outside my attention span (as it likely would yours), after two weeks of listening I felt calmer and more attentive listening to radio news, absorbing more information in the process. Though one might argue that longer stories and the lack of a visual element prevent rapid processing of information in a busy schedule, I would say that you probably are not actually processing that information in the first place. Example or anecdote? Also, while you may not hear about Cali’s marijuana epidemic listening to NPR, you might find it advantageous instead to know how the job market is evolving. The final
reason for switching to NPR is that I found television news to be rife with editorial. In my observation, stories meant to incite fear or doubt (ambiguous medical studies and terrorist plots primarily) contained leading titles with question marks, coupled with analysis from an “expert” of an unannounced background. NPR on the other hand presented statistics from established, authoritative agencies, such as the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, and less emotional voice inflection when reporting stories. Why does this matter? Because journalism is meant to present facts for public consumption and interpretation. The inclusion of dramatic representations and editorials stunts this process and shapes public emotions, affecting interpretation of facts. That’s something that belongs on the Opinion page or Commentary section of a Web site, which is not equal to — news. As a source of information, NPR provides a rare, less-varnished perspective into world happenings. Both sources have their weaknesses, but the irrelevant stories, confounding pace, frequent commercials and unnecessary commentary present in television provide more than enough reason to make the switch. NPR can be heard by tuning to 90.1 FM — an Iowa Public Radio station. News airs in the morning and around dinner time with classical programming in between.
Cyberbullying:
Attacks not exempt from campus Phoebe Prince moved with her family from Ireland to begin a new life in the United States and settled in the beautiful western Massachusetts town of South Hadley. When she began attending South Hadley High School, she made a few friends who commented on how happy and welladjusted she appeared. Under the surface, though, she was concealing an intense emotional pain. On a continual basis, other students at school tormented her online calling her an “Irish slut” and a whore. Fearing she could no longer stand her peers’ abusive taunts, Phoebe took her own life. She was 15 years old. While schoolyard bullying and harassment have long been problems for young people in our nation’s schools, the advent of advanced information and communication technologies have now allowed this abusive and destructive practice to extend to virtually all aspects of a person’s life. What has come to be called “cyberbullying,” like “face-to-face bullying” (also termed “real life” bullying), involves deliberate and repeated aggressive behaviors by an individual or group of individuals intended to humiliate and harm another individual or group of individuals. If we are ever to interrupt the vicious cycle of bullying and cyberbullying in our schools and in our larger society, we must challenge and diminish abusive behaviors by adults. Albert Bandura, preeminent educational psychologist and major researcher in what has come to be known as social learning theory, showed that individuals learn by observing and associat-
Warren Blumenfeld is a professor of curriculum and instruction
ing with others. He asserted that the process of social modeling can be enough for young people to incorporate attitudes and behaviors they observe. Society presents an array of role models, from very positive and affirming to very negative, biased, aggressive and destructive. For example, what type of message does it send to young people when radio commentator Don Imus referred to members of the Rutgers University basketball team – composed of eight black and two white women – as “nappy-headed hos,” or conservative columnist and author Ann Coulter called then-presidential candidate John Edwards “a faggot” to the loud and sustained applaud and laughter of the assembled audience? Unfortunately, at times, perpetrators engage in this type of offensive language through online chat blogs, like those of the Iowa State Daily. A perennial respondent on the discussion board reacted to my article last week, “Notion of ‘Post-Racial’ Society Proves False.” The respondent said that Sen. Harry Reid “was right on point” when Reid stated during the presidential primaries that President Barack Obama could be a possible contender because, according to Reid, he is “light skinned” and “speaks with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.” The responded then threw in his own offensive com-
mentary by falsely attributing the following to Reid: “And we need to get jobs for you folk so you don’t beat yo women.” The respondent then turned his personal attacks onto me and said, “And of course your sexual deviancy issues. You want to label those that have the biological differences figured out for procreation as ‘privileged’ while you, the governor and your activist friends go after bullies who pick on perceived gay kids.” When a second respondent attempted to challenge the initial respondent’s line of argument, this first respondent racialized the second by stating that his last name, “Sounds Hispanic. When you apply for a job or college loans, do you check the box that says ‘Hispanic?’ Why? Do you get preferential treatment that way? Are you eligible for scholarships I am not eligible for? And yet I am the one that’s obviously racist in your mind.” Referring to my editorial where I state that Valerie Batts’s “new forms of racism” include white people “dysfunctionally rescuing” people of color, a third responded stated: “Isn’t this the basis of welfare? Isn’t this what black poverty pimps like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do for a living? When have black activists ever promoted a program to improve the black community based on self-reliance, by pulling themselves up by their bootstraps as millions of immigrants have
done and continue to do? Virtually every program promoted by the black community demands cash from the government…” And in an attempt to impugn my motives, a fourth respondent alleged, “Has it ever occurred to you that these so called ‘social scientists’ like Warren Blumenfeld design their curriculum to create a certain amount of racial, sexual, economic and religious discontent in the college educated population in order to continue to have a job?” To engage in conversation, discussion and dialogue entails a level of trust and respect, and involves an honest and open exchange of ideas. Once we digress into personal attacks, innuendo, character assassination, name calling and calling into question another’s motives, a critical line has been crossed, a line from civil discourse into (cyber)bullying, and the potential for real education has been lost. Discussion can advance the development of critical consciousness. Stephen Brookfield, distinguished professor at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, Minn., and author of 10 books focusing on how people learn, has found that critical consciousness involves a process in which we first discover the assumptions that guide our decisions, actions and choices. Then through further reading and discussion, we can check the accuracy of our previously held assumptions by exploring as many different perspectives, viewpoints and sources as possible. This will then allow us to make better informed decisions that are based on larger bodies of information than we had previously.

University parking problem preventable Recently, more and more talk has been generated over the parking situation at Iowa State University. With Web sites like www.collegeprowler.com evaluating all things around Iowa State including among many other things, parking, some people may see action as a necessity. The big question is, what should the action be? There are many choices including adding large parking ramps, cutting down on the number of parking tickets issued and many other suggestions are out there. But will these actions really make the situation better? What about thinking in a new direction? The City of Ames and Iowa State have done a wonderful job with providing us a reasonable means for transportation without using a personal vehicle. The CyRide system works extremely well and travels within blocks of nearly anywhere in town. Bike paths along major roads like Mortensen and University Boulevards along with Stange Road can take us reasonably close to nearly any residence in town. Why are we as a public looking to the university to supply us with a “fix” to this problem?
Anthony Merfeld is a senior in mechanical engineering. Why do we choose to not use the means provided to us? Some students complain and say, “Well I have to wait for the bus.” Others say, “My schedule is too busy for the bus and if I miss it, I miss class.” To these arguments, we must say, “Stop being lazy and thinking the world revolves around you!” For the rest of your life, you will deal with deadlines. This one should be dealt with in the same fashion, by sucking it up, being mature and getting things done on time. Bicycles are a wonderful means of transportation. Most college students are very able-bodied young people and bicycles are a wonderful way to use the abilities of the body and keep it in shape at the same time. For those that are not so able-bodied, bicycles are also a wonderful low impact, high energy exercise. Why don’t we stop asking ourselves, “What can someone else do for me?’ but instead think, “What can I do to alleviate this problem?”
Public safety deserves funding You may have never had the pleasure of walking from Frederiksen Court to the Memorial Union at 5:30 a.m. to get to work on time, but because the buses are not awake yet, I have. Had I been aware of the Safety Escort program offered by the ISU Department of Public Safety, I might have saved myself some anxiety and an extra hour of sleep. Although continuing to grow in popularity, this program and other key aspects of the DPS are looking at the threat of being cut due to budget issues. While many equate the campus security’s abilities with those of a rent-a-cop, the inner workings and all that is offered generally remain unknown to the public. Despite efforts to promote and expand knowledge of the department, due to lack of funds — and consequently, lack of manpower — it has been relatively unsuccessful. While making that early morning trek across campus alone, I realized that I knew nothing of the campus’ safety policies or what strategies were actually in place to protect the community. At the time, I had very low expectations for this particular department and was quite leery of its capabilities of protecting me; to put my worries to rest I had to find out more. The negative opinions of the DPS seem to come from the fact that people are unaware of all the aspects encompassed by the department. All incoming students are presented with an overview of the services provided by the university during orientation sessions and at Destination Iowa State, but the problem with this is that students are being bombarded with pamphlets and documents from all other university departments and organizations, and it is unlikely that they will carefully read through all of the material. Taking this into account, the DPS trains the Department of Residence staff and

Cyclone Aides regarding safety services offered in hopes of disseminating the information to as many people as possible. To my surprise, the Department of Public Safety is responsible for much more than just patrolling football games and handing out parking tickets. Its target is the ISU community, and they make sure to include them in their efforts as much as possible. The department conducts annual campus safety walks with the GSB to take note of any lighting and environmental hazards and then reports them to Facilities Planning and Management to be taken care of. With proper financial support and increased employment, these safety walks could take place more often, eliminating gaps where accidents could occur. The DPS also runs an eight-week Citizen Police Academy for students, faculty and staff to experience what it is like to work with the department as well as learn how to deal with issues such as domestic violence. Throughout the year, they arrange crime prevention sessions. But to come back to the beginning of this letter, the most popular program run by the DPS is the Safety Escort program. Upon calling the appropriate telephone number, either a walking or vehicle-assisted escort is provided to anyone on campus free of charge. The number of people using the service has significantly increased (from 1,832 people in 2006 to 4,144 in 2009) and its growing popularity is most likely due to word of mouth. Some have been unhappy that the service only operates on campus and in the greek area, however this is a restriction made by the City of Ames due to the fact that there are other cab services whose busi-

ness may suffer if the Safety Escort program were allowed outside of campus boundaries. Along with this program, the DPS offers a Motorist Assist Program which includes jump starts, tire airing/changing equipment and escorts to fueling stations — all free of charge. And yet all of these services are only a fraction of what the department has to offer. When considering the DPS in its entirety, it is difficult to imagine how it will be able to continue efficiently operating while its staff slowly dwindles because of inadequate funding. The DPS’s biggest problem now is finding ways to finance all of the programs offered in the coming years. With only 33 sworn, statecertified police officers and eight full-time civilian staff, the department is already understaffed, considering how many people they are responsible for. It employs about 70 students in various areas, and part-time students are also employed to work with building security, safety escorts and dispatch. The department is focused on increasing security where needed, but improvements will be difficult to make when they might be forced to cut back in some areas. Perhaps the university could curtail its spending, maybe rethink spending $6 million on new busses. Fundraising is also an option that would benefit the department both financially and promotionally. Regardless of how they come across the money, an increase in the DPS’s funding will improve not only the department but our entire community, which is ultimately the main concern.
Letter:
Resources needed promotion to prevent student weight gain I’m sure that most of the students at Iowa State have heard of the dreaded “freshmen 15.” It’s a term used to describe the extra unwanted pounds that students gain their first year of college. For some incoming students, the freshmen 15 probably freaks them out because, like most young adults, they are very self-conscious about how they appear to others. According to www.kidshealth.org, most college students gain three to ten pounds during their first two years at college. This problem could be easily solved if Iowa State was more conscious about what it offers in the markets or dining centers and promoted health services. Most dining facilities at Iowa State are all-youcan-eat, and that allows students to get too much food, eat too quickly and end up over eating. Judith Trumpy, a dietician on campus that works with the dining services to create the menus, said many students now feel the need to eat more food because they already paid for it, and they don’t want to waste their money. However, if students were really worried about not wasting their money, they would think about the future doctor visits, prescription drug costs and other medical bills that will come in the future if they are not conscious about their health today. Trumpy also pointed out that the dining centers made the switch to an all-you-can-eat style of service because of a trend the university noticed in how the average American family ate. Iowa State should have considered the effects an all you can eat buffet can have on a college student’s diet before making the switch to the buffet-style of service. Some people might think that it’s a student’s choice as to how much they eat, and they are correct to a certain extent. But with all the different options for students, they might want to try a little bit of everything and before they know itt,their tray is piled with lots of food. Some students may then feel obligated to eat as much as they can because they feel guilty for getting so much. There is also the fact that most students eat rather quickly. This makes it easier for them to overeat because they aren’t giving their head enough time to tell a stomach it’s full. Many students like the gas station-like atmosphere of the East and West side markets because it offers them a quick fix for their hunger and they can use their dining dollars. Unfortunately, the first thing students see when they walk into the market is candy, chips and soda. It seems as if the students are forced to play hide and seek with the few healthy options just to find them. Trumpy doesn’t think the markets are “such a good idea” by making a very valid point that “if the food isn’t there, the students won’t be so tempted to eat it.” She also doesn’t agree with the fact that the markets were created “without consulting the dieticians on staff” because they weren’t able to offer better and

healthier alternatives than some of the food being offered currently.Iowa State does offer students a fairly valuable resource known as NetNutrition. It shows the students all of the nutritional information, and allows students to build a meal and see the nutritional facts for the entire meal. Unfortunately, NetNutrition is hard to find on the actual Web site. Students would have to search for it and click on three different links before they even got to NetNutrition. The site also contains false information for some meals. If a student plans a meal ahead of time, they expect the items they chose on NetNutrition to be served in the dining center. However, there have been quite a few times when the food options on the site did not match up with what was actually being served. Iowa State needs to take the time to make the Web site easier to navigate and more accurate. Also, if they put information about NetNutrition in the table tents, which many students read, they could easily promote this resource. ISU also offers free appointments with dieticians and nutritionists. In the real world outside of college, a one hour session with a nutritionist can cost up to $130. Therefore, it would be wise for students to take advantage of this service. However, Trumpy stated that “some days hardly anyone comes to see me, so I just have to sit here.” This just goes to show that some students don’t even know this resource is even available. Therefore, the resources, as helpful as they might be, do absolutely no good because they aren’t known about and utilized by many of the students and even some members of the faculty here at Iowa State. Trumpy has thought about “putting the information about NetNutrition and dieticians in orientation packets” to make freshman more aware of the resources available right from the start. Another good way to promote valuable resources to the students would be to post fliers in the dorms and even in the dining centers themselves. Iowa State University could even send out informational e-mails just telling students about the resources, how to use them and provide contact information to ask questions if they have any. After doing this research, I decided to ask my friends if they knew any information and NetNutrition and dietary services. Out of the twelve friends that were with me at dinner that night, none of them knew about the free dietary services offered by Iowa State, and only three of them knew anything about NetNutrition. This just goes to show that Iowa State should think about spending a little more time promoting its resources and services, and make better decisions about what to make accessible to students in the markets around campus.

Player Profile
Cyclones fall to Cowgirls in Stillwater By Jeff Latzke AP Sports Writer STILLWATER, Okla. — Andrea Riley scored 32 points, Tegan Cunningham added 20 and No. 20 Oklahoma State beat No. 13 Iowa State 78-70 on Wednesday night for its third straight win. Bolte Riley, playing in her final home game, made a jumper from the right elbow and then set up Cunningham for a 3-pointer in the left corner as the Cowgirls (21-8, 9-6 Big 12) used a late 7-0 run to put the game away after Iowa State had eliminated a 10-point deficit. Kelsey Bolte made six 3-pointers and scored 20 points to lead Iowa State (22-6, 10-5), which could have wrapped up the No. 2 seed in next week’s Big 12 tournament with a victory. The Cyclones played without starting point guard Alison Lacey, their top scorer and the nation’s leader in assist-to-turnover ratio. She did not travel with the team because of an illness. Iowa State fought back from a 10-point halftime deficit to tie the game at 57 on a pair of free throws by Chelsea Poppens with 8:59 to play but then went 4 minutes without scoring — its second extended drought of the game — as Oklahoma State rebuilt its lead. After Megan Byford blocked a shot by Amanda Zimmerman that would have put the Cyclones ahead, Lakyn Garrison hit a 3-pointer to put OSU back on top. Riley followed with a fastbreak layup off of an ill-advised crosscourt pass, and the Cowgirls would lead 65-57 after a run of eight straight points. Bolte’s sixth 3-pointer got Iowa State within 65-62 with 4:07 remaining but Oklahoma State scored the next seven points to put the game out

Leaving a legacy Current, former Cyclones Lacey, Frese share jersey number, memorable careers By Jordan Wickstrom Daily Staff Writer
Gymnastics
Seniors set for final home performance By Kelsey Jacobs Daily Staff Writer Seven Cyclone seniors will say goodbye to Hilton Coliseum on Friday when the No. 14 team takes on Iowa for the last home meet of the season. “[The seniors] have had just about everything to do with all the success we’ve had especially this year,” said coach Jay Ronayne. “Every year that they’ve worked with us they’ve built upon the base that they’ve had. Most of them, besides the two that are injured and aren’t competing, are having the best season of their careers.” Friday’s meet will honor all the graduating seniors on the Cyclone gymnastics team. Ronayne said the senior’s gymnastics can be replaced but their leadership ability and experience will take awhile for younger team members to match. Senior Melanie Tham said she has been emotional all semester about this being her last season as an ISU gymnast. She is looking forward to performing in front of a home crowd one more time Friday. “We are going against Iowa again so obviously we want to win,” Tham said, “but the focus will just be on enjoying the last meet for us and hitting the routines the way we want to do it the last time in Hilton.” Tham is ready to be done with gymnastics physically because of the hard wear and tear on her body and the injuries over the years, but emotionally it is difficult for her to think about being done. “It’s hard because you spend 18 years doing something day in and day out spending five hours doing it,” Tham said. “So it’s definitely going to be an adjustment and I’ll probably have a little identity crisis, but I think that’s normal. I’ll still have these girls to support me and my family to support me too so I’ll get through it think, but I’ll be sad.” Some of Tham’s family will be there to watch her compete, including her father. Tham’s father has not seen her compete at the collegiate level before, so Friday will be the first and the last time. Senior Megan Barnes will also have her family in attendance, and she is looking forward to simply being able to compete at home. Barnes was injured in preseason, and this will only be her third meet of the year. “I’m just grateful for the chance to compete there one more time and have a proper goodbye at Hilton,” Barnes said. “It’ll be exciting to finish the season at home with an in-state rival and to have the crowds support behind us with that big rivalry there will be a great way to finish off the meets at Hilton.” The last time the Cyclones visited Iowa City was in February when Iowa State topped the Hawkeyes 194.475–193.825 and clinched the CyHawk trophy. The team hopes to beat Iowa again to send the seniors off on a winning note. Action is set to begin 7 p.m. Friday at Hilton Coliseum.

Former ISU women’s basketball player Stacy Frese embraced her role as team leader and was awarded by being named an All-American and Naismith finalist 10 years ago. While it has been a decade since Frese last played in a Cyclones uniform, senior guard Alison Lacey still looks up to her as a role model. “Even though I didn’t get to watch her play, [Frese] is someone to look up to,” Lacey said. “In three years she has so many records and accomplishments here and is just so high up in the stat sheet. After I picked my number, I was happy we had the same number.” Outside of sharing the same jersey number and position, Frese believes her and Lacey to be completely different players in terms of the way each plays the game. “We’re both different players,” Frese said. “Lacey is an incredible player and an incredible scorer. But I think all the point guards at Iowa State had one thing in common: We all knew our roles. What Lacey does the best is she knows that if she needs to score, she can score. But if she knows someone else is hot, she’s going to get them the ball as well.” Despite the differences in style of play, both
women share similarities in their importance to their respective teams. The way Lacey entered her senior season was reminiscent of Frese. Both came into their last year facing high expectations after leading Iowa State to an Elite Eight appearance. Like Frese before her, Lacey embraced the pressure from the previous season and put together one of her finest seasons at Iowa State. “Lacey is having arguably one of the best individual years any ISU player has ever had,” said coach Bill Fennelly, who has coached both Frese and Lacey. “What she’s going to leave is a legacy of someone who came here and developed her game, changed positions two or three times and has turned out to the be consummate leader.” With career highs in points (17.1 per game), assists (6.5 per game) and rebounds (5.3 per game), Lacey’s senior season has been one to remember. Despite most experts believing the team’s youth will force Iowa State to finish no better than seventh in the Big 12, the team found a way to be close to clinching at least a top-three finish in the conference. “She’s done so much for this program; this year especially,” Frese said. “With so many young people on the team, she’s the leader of the team. Nobody expected them to be as good as they are and she’s obviously a big factor for that.” Lacey just recently eclipsed 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists in her career. This season, she passed Frese’s 1,494 points and 494 assists for sixth on the all-time scoring list and third in career assists. Despite putting up such career numbers, both
Frese and Lacey remained very humble about their respective legacies at Iowa State. “I put my heart and soul into everything I did and worked as hard as I could,” Frese said. “I may not have been the most gifted athlete or the best player out there but I gave everything I had on a daily basis and tried to make everyone around me better.” Lacey also looked past her statistics and shared Frese’s sentiments about the kind of player she would like to be known as. “I would like to be known as someone who appreciated and loved Iowa State and played the right way,” Lacey said. “Hopefully I’m in that conversation of doing things the right way. Representing my school in the best way and always being my best and always being polite. Hopefully I’ll be remembered for doing good things on and off the court and just being a good person.” With only four jerseys retired by the ISU women‘s basketball team, it is clear there is a high amount of difficulty to get your number to hang from the rafters of Hilton Coliseum. Only time will tell whose jersey will be the next to be retired. However, there is a good chance Lacey’s jersey will be honored in the near future. But that’s not her concern. “It wouldn’t hurt to see it get retired but there’s not many that do,” Lacey said. “No, it’d just be nice to come back and have a reunion. I don’t think about my jersey being retired. After a few years, I just can’t wait to come back and have a reunion with all the players I’ve played with.”
Hockey
Teams take on tournament By Blake Schultz Daily Staff Writer No. 5 Iowa State Who to watch: Mike Lebler, Pete Majkozak and Erik Hudson ISU junior goalie Hudson has six shutouts this season, which is tops among all goalies in the tournament. Lebler leads the Cyclones in assists with 33 and Majkozak is tied for the team lead in goals with 26. The Cyclones open up play with Kent State, who the Cyclones last played in the Central States Collegiate Hockey League Tournament and beat 5–0.
No. 12 Kent State Who to watch: Justin Phenney — 32 goals and 24 assists — and goalie Ryan Gregory Kent State enters this tournament losing two of its last three games; one of those against the Cyclones in the CSCHL Tournament. The Golden Flashes will be out for revenge this time around and hope to upset the Cyclones. The Flashes did accomplish one thing that few teams were able to do this season — beating No. 1 Lindenwood University.
No. 4 Illinois Who to watch: Tom Connell — 15 goals and 31 assists Illinois remained in the top five in the rankings the whole season. Its
Achilles’ heal this season has been performing well against ranked teams. The Illini were 1–4 against Lindenwood, lost two game to the Cyclones and two to Central Oklahoma before the CSCHL Tournament.
No. 13 Stony Brook Who to watch: Chris Ryan — 25 goals and 19 assists Stony Brook brings a 16–11–1 record into the tournament. Getting past Illinois in the opening round may be a daunting task for this team due to its zero wins versus other tournament qualifiers.
No. 2 Penn State Who to watch: Tim O’Brien — 23 goals and 21 assists Penn State will enter the tournament on a seven game winning streak. The Nittany Lions (2–-4–1) have only one loss against tournament opponents and are 3–1 on the season against the third-ranked Ohio Bobcats. Being the No. 2 seed, the Nittany Lions have a great chance to go deep in the tournament.
No. 15 Canton Who to watch: Adam Fedor — 19 goals and 21 assists Canton (17–8–2) will begin the tournament on a 10-game win streak, although none of those wins were against any ranked opponents.

Canton played a relatively soft schedule this season with only two games against ranked opponents. Expect Penn State to provide Canton with a first-round loss.
No. 7 Oklahoma Who to watch: Brad McCabe — 28 goals and 32 assists Oklahoma began the season losing five of its first seven games, two coming at the hands of Iowa State, but has since then rebounded to a final record of 20–7–5. The Sooners will be facing off with in-state rival Central Oklahoma.
No. 10 Central Oklahoma Who to watch: Jonathon
Cannizzo — 22 goals and 20 assists The possible “dark horse,” Central Oklahoma, comes in with a couple of big wins on its resume. Two weeks ago, the Broncos swept No. 4 Illinois in Champaign and they have split with Iowa State, Ohio and Arizona State. Look for the Broncos to possibly win a couple of games in this tournament.
No. 1 Lindenwood Who to watch: Adam Krefski — 31 goals and 29 assists Lindenwood is the obvious

Wrestling
Cyclones prepare for Big 12 meet By Jake Calhoun Daily Staff Writer Iowa State (13–2, 4–0 Big 12) will return to the mats this Saturday at the Big 12 Championships in Norman, Okla. Unlike most collegiate sports, the Big 12 only houses five schools with wrestling programs — Iowa State, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. The Cyclones will be squaring off against their all-too-familiar opponents as they seek their fourth-straight Big 12 title.
No. 17 Missouri Tigers (7–7, 1–3) The Tigers haven’t seen action since their season-ending 28–10 dual loss to the Cyclones on Feb. 14 in Ames. Senior heavyweight Mark Ellis, the reigning national champion, has had his fair share of struggles this season, going 18–8 overall and 7–2 in dual action. ISU senior David Zabriskie has gotten the best of Ellis, with an all-time record of 6–0 against him. Zabriskie’s most recent victory came in the dual meet on Feb. 14, where the Cyclone senior recorded a 3–2 decision to get the victory. Last year, Zabriskie beat Ellis by a decision of 3-1 to win his second Big 12 conference title, earning him a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. Senior Nicholas Marable leads the Tigers, posting a team-best 31–3 overall record and is eighth alltime in career wins with 110 total victories. Marable had suffered his first loss to ISU’s Jon Reader this season, losing a 3–2 decision in the 165-pound match of the dual meet. Previous to the encounter this year, Marable had a 3–0 edge over the ISU All-American junior. Another notable All-American for the Tigers is senior Maxwell Askren (184), who placed fifth at last year’s NCAA tournament before moving down a weight class his senior year.
Nebraska Cornhuskers (9–11, 0–4) Nebraska has had the most disappointing season of any of the teams in the Big 12, losing its reigning national champion at 157 pounds in Jordan Burroughs to a season-ending injury in December, and dropping all four dual meets against conference foes. The Huskers have gone through two different losing streaks, accounting for eight of their 11 total losses. Senior Craig Brester tops the mangled lineup for the Huskers, carrying a perfect 25–0 record into the season-ending dual meet against Iowa State, where Brester lost to Iowa State’s Jake Varner by a sudden victory decision of 6–4 to suffer his first loss of the season. Brester is 1–4 all-time against Varner, with his only victory coming in last year’s Big 12 Championships where he beat the would-be champion by a 4–3 decision to earn the No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament at 197 pounds. Senior Stephen Dwyer is the Huskers’ other standout wrestler, carrying a 22–3 record into Norman, Okla. Dwyer recorded an 11-2 major decision over ISU’s Duke Burk in the season-ending dual meet, the only loss suffered by an ISU senior on the Cyclones’ senior night. Dwyer is the only Husker to hold a perfect record in Big 12 dual meets (4–0). Last year, the Huskers earned a share of the Big 12 title, tying Iowa State with 70 team points.
No. 9 Oklahoma Sooners (16–3–1, 2–2–1) Running in the middle of the pack of the Big 12, the Sooners have the element of surprise to their advantage as they will be wrestling in front of their home crowd in Norman, Okla. The Sooners have had a grueling season, participating in two tournaments, two dual tournaments and wrestling in five dual meets in the month of February alone. Their only loses came to Lehigh University at the Virginia Duals, Iowa State on Jan. 22 and intrastate rival Oklahoma State on Feb. 21. Senior Kyle Terry has been the Sooners’ driving force throughout the season, posting a record of 24–2 with a perfect 16–0 dual record. He is the only Sooner who is perfect in Big 12 dual matches (5–0). Terry, who is ranked third in the na-

tion at 149 pounds, defeated Iowa State’s Mitch Mueller earlier this season by a decision of 4–0, improving his all-time record against the Cyclone senior to 3–0. Junior 197-pounder Eric Lapotsky is coming off an impressive victory from the Sooners’ season finale dual meet over Oklahoma State’s Alan Gelogaev, pinning his Cowboy foe with a fall time of 4:35. However, Iowa State’s Jake Varner has gotten the best of Lapotsky in their two meetings, defeating him by a major decision of 16–5 in last season’s dual meet against the Sooners and by a decision of 9–3 in this season’s 21–12 victory in Norman, Okla.
No. 3 Oklahoma State Cowboys (15–2–1, 3–1–1) ISU coach Kevin Jackson said Oklahoma State would be the greatest obstacle for his Cyclones, considering the third-ranked Cowboys had them up against the fence until Jake Varner’s pin over Alan Gelogaev sealed the deal for the Cyclones to win, 20–18, back on Jan. 24 in Stillwater, Okla. “Their guys wrestle better in a tournament situation than in a dual meet, and they’re all very good wrestlers,” Jackson said. “They have the most potential to give us the strongest challenge at the Big 12s.” Nine of their starting 10 wrestlers are ranked in the top 20, eight of whom reside in the top 10 of their respective weight class. Sophomore Andrew Sorensen, who was not ranked at the time of the dual meet, pulled off a surprise victory by taking down OSU’s Neil Erisman in the last second of the 157-pound match to put three points on the board for the Cyclones with the 8-7 decision. Erisman, who was ranked 13th at the time, is now ranked 11th and is the Cowboys’ only ranked wrestler who is not in the top 10 nationally. Senior heavyweight Jared Rosholt leads the Cowboys with a record of 29–1, earning him the No. 1 ranking in the nation midway through the season. However, that won’t stop Zabriskie from trying to win his third Big 12 conference title. Zabriskie, who lost to Rosholt by a decision of 8–5 earlier this season, is 5–3 all-time against his Cowboy foe.

IMprov group entertains Comedy troupe continues to attract crowds, provides original material By Tyler Kingkade Daily Staff Writer No one on stage or in the crowd expected to see someone throw up as an end to the evening, yet as the audience was split between uncontrollable laughing and staring in disbelief Caleb Woodley held a small black trash can to his face to regurgitate into. “It tastes even better the second time!” he yelled as he raised the can to his mouth eliciting more laughter. It was the finale of the Grandma Mojo’s Moonshine Revival Comedy Troupe, during a bit where Woodley, senior in performing arts, along with Jared Thompson, senior in mathematics, took turns chugging two-liters of GT Cola and coming up with slogans for the soda brand. The idea came from shopping at Aldi’s, they said, mentioning the store lacked any shelves. And even after Woodley puked, he continued the skit and kept drinking. Libby Schreiner, junior in chemistry, had a feeling a waste basket was needed. “I thought, ‘He’s probably going to vomit,’” Schreiner said. Grandma Mojo’s usually performs each Wednesday when the Maintenance Shop does not have another event booked. It rehearses its improv Mondays and Wednesdays but members insist they try never to use anything they do in practice in the real performances. Thompson said he looks forward to Mojo’s each week. “It’s definitely the high point of my week,” Thompson said. “I’m home when I get here,” Woodley added.

The bunch has difficulty settling down after practice to talk about anything somewhat serious and even as they begin to get real, jokes about themselves find a way into the conversation. The improv group is like a band, but with revolving members and a tryout each semester. On stage members said they don’t notice the audience members, thanks to the lighting, and having a good sound guy is critical to their shows. People become fans of the group on Facebook, get recognized in public and at parties and get hired to do various performances. Regular attendees have brought cookies and other presents for them at the shows. The M-Shop has been full for their shows this semester with each seat taken and the audience resorting to standing to watch. For Don Watts, senior in performing arts, this is a 180-degree difference of what it was like when he started. “We definitely worked for our audience,” Watts said, who is on his seventh semester in Mojo’s. The troupe credits Steve Satterlee, entertainment programs coordinator, for a hand in its success with his help managing and promoting the group. The stage doesn’t end see IMPROV on PAGE 12

Nadas to play show thursday at m-shop Former college act makes transition to full-time band
■■ ■■
■■
By Mark Runkel Daily Staff Writer Starting from humble beginnings, the five-piece band The Nadas set out to create a college band and were even awarded the title “The best college band you’ve never heard of ” by Playboy Magazine in 2001. Since 2001, they have moved past the college band title, and Jason Walsmith, lead vocals and guitar, said they have made the “long, slow and steady gradual transition” to a full-time band. “We’re definitely settled in now and are a career band,” said Mike Buttersworth, who does vocals and guitar. “This is who we are and will be for all of eternity.” The Nadas are scheduled to return to Ames in the Maintenance Shop at 8 p.m. Thursday. After playing around the Des Moines area for more than 15 years The Nadas said they are able to draw in a wide variety of crowds to all of their shows. “We have a lot of different markets,” Walsmith said. “It sort of depends on the town, sometimes people are really into the live music scene, other times they’re not.”

Another way The Nadas have been able to continually draw in new crowds is through their different style of creating albums. The band recently released it’s seventh LP, “Almanac.”
“We recorded and released a song every month in the year of 2009 and the album is what was compiled at the end of the year,” Walsmith said. The concept of the album also
ended up changing the sound of the album. “It was a different recording experience for us and the album is a little different as well just from that experience,” Buttersworth said.
Thursday’s M-Shop performance may be one of the last with The Nadas’ symbol the “Templeton Rye” tour bus. After the band wrote a song that mentions the locally-made whiskey, Templeton decided to sponsor The Nadas. But the now the band has decided to change the logo on the bus to support World Bicycle Relief. “This organization sends bikes to third-world countries so that people like doctors, teachers and students can have transportation to school and work, which is much quicker,” Walsmith said. “A walk would usually take about four hours, with these bikes it can take only one, so that the doctor can get more work done and see that many more patients a day.”
Choirs honored with divisional conference invitation By Sarah Binder Daily Staff Writer The ISU Singers and Cantamus choirs have been honored with an invitation to sing at the American Choral Directors Association divisional conference in Minneapolis, Minn. James Rodde, director of choral
activities and professor of music, said this year’s conference has had record numbers of registrations, and the choirs will get to perform a half-hour of music for over 700 conductors and 28,000 group members. “I’d say that’s the biggest benefit — it’s a fulfillment of all this work, getting to sing in a great hall for an
audience that’s highly appreciative and knowledgeable,” Rodde said. Choirs can only apply to the selective committee of conductors every four years. Then they are blindly judged on three of their pieces — one from each of their previous three seasons. “I’m just really proud of our
students and all they’ve worked to achieve,” Rodde said. “They’ve worked together to do it – that says a lot about them.” Three busloads of students left Wednesday and gave rehearsal performances at Normandale Lutheran Church. The Iowa State Singers will take the American Choral Directors As-
sociation stage at 4 p.m. Thursday, and Cantamus will perform at 11:15 a.m. Friday. The students will also get to hear performances by other groups, including award-winning Swedish acapella ensemble, The Real Group. “It’s all about sharing music,” Rodde said.

Kaleidoquiz Preparation, organization continues You find an ostrich egg, travel to Canada, star in a movie, struggle to identify various songs and answer a question every six minutes — it’s Kaleidoquiz. Trevin Ward, one of the organizers of KURE’s Kaleidoquiz, said one of the keys to success in running the competition is having a monitor that everyone on the team can see. The pace for KQ can be fast so making sure everyone can see a screen helps keep the team organized. As leaders for the Lyon Harwood team, Rick Hanton, senior in computer engineering, and Tessa Brow, senior in mathematics and literature, are working to transform their residence hall floor into a headquarters for the event.

to just do it. Have fun with it, and hope.” Rattle said that a large team won’t guarantee success. “The most people doesn’t help you,” he said. “It takes dedication to do it all.” Ward said some teams collect items such as copies of campus publications that may be valuable for a question. Several teams coordinate a schedule that the team will operate on — when people will sleep, setting up shifts and who has vehicles to travel. Team leaders said to really get involved, members just have to participate and the event should grow on them. “I didn’t know much about KQ when I first participated,” Boesenberg said. “Give it time and it will grow on you. Dedication, too.”

where the audience starts. In one show, half of the cast moves around the M-Shop in a bit where they all play pirates, with two separate ships – one on stage and one at the bar – and the bar ship is set on coming aboard the ship on stage to eat their breakfast food. The second eldest of Mojo’s is Thompson, who’s on his sixth semester. A small unsuspecting blonde who student teaches in Gilbert, Thompson said he uses the skills he has learned in improv in his teaching. “It definitely helps with kids,” Thompson said. Though those elementary students may not want to be at the show unaccompanied, as one night Thompson riled up the crowd with a line when he’s stopped from singing during a karaoke setting and said, “I was about to moisten every woman in this audience,” and gained a response from Colin Morgan, senior in music: “Make it rain!” The quotation is repeated as the skit involved rewinding all the actions and replaying them, each time drawing out an uproar from the females in attendance. The only girl in the group is Schreiner but that’s one more than last year. “Well it’s a man’s world,” Schreiner said, jokingly.

She said she’s comfortable there but admitted “some people just think girls aren’t as funny.” The other members chime in they feel she has done a good job establishing she’s not going to take that. Schreiner is not the token girl as she plays guys and girls and some of the guys play girls, similar to a Monty Python skit. Topics in shows sometimes deserve an R-rating, but the members say they try to avoid taking it too far. Schreiner described building to a funny arc then “wiping the scene” giving the audience just enough.

Steven Murray, senior in software engineering, said they try not to hammer on one religion too much. “We might bring it up, have a laugh, then move on,” Murray said. “Here’s the thing about censorship, if you’re worried about offending everyone in the audience
you’re not going to do a good job,” Thompson said. All of the members agree on the improvement it’s given them in everyday settings, from interviews to customer service, they have a confidence boost now. “I think it’s enabled me to take more risks,” Schreiner added. “I

BREAK
Schultz — 25 goals and 29 assists
tournament favorite this year. Last season, the Lions won the whole thing and this year could end up ending the same way. Four of Lindenwood’s players have more than 50 points this season and the team will be riding high after winning the CSCHL tournament. Its only slip-up this season has been when Ohio swept the team in early December.
Ohio (32–9–3) is entering the tournament the wrong way. After losing to Lindenwood in the CSCHL Championship, the Bobcats were embarrassed at home by the unranked Adrian Bulldogs who swept them Friday and Saturday. If Ohio hopes to win games, they have to start playing consistently. The first round will be a great test of where the Bobcats are at mentally.
from PAGE 8
No.16 Rutgers Who to watch: Jason Adams — 12 goals and 38 assists Rutgers (16–14) barely squeaked into the tournament by earning the 16th rank late in the season. The Scarlet Knights may be begging for mercy by the end of their first round matchup with Lindenwood.
No. 8 Minot State Who to watch: Isaac Friesen — 24 goals and 24 assists Minot State brings a solid 23–6 record into this weekend. The Beavers have quality wins over Oklahoma, Central Oklahoma, and Iowa State and being the No. 8 seed, anything can happen. If the Beavers do get past Oakland in the opening round, they will most likely play Lindenwood.
No. 9 Oakland Who to watch: Kevin Kranker — 17 goals and 27 assists Oakland, too, brings a solid record of 25–9–1 into the tournament. They have beaten a few tournament teams this season with one of them being third ranked Ohio on the road. The Grizzlies beat tournamentqualifier Liberty twice this season. Oakland gradually worked its way up throughout the season from being ranked No. 16 at the start and moved to No. 9. Oakland will put up a good fight against Minot State in a hardfought battle.
No. 3 Ohio Who to watch: Michael
No. 14 Robert Morris Who to watch: Matt Olson — 15 goals and 13 assists This year’s host school Robert Morris may be the most questionable team in the tournament. They bring in a losing record of 11–21–2, but the Eagles’ tough schedule may be a cause of that. Nearly every week, the Eagles played a ranked opponent. In their three matchups with Ohio this season, Ohio won all three, and this time doesn’t look any better.
No. 6 Liberty Who to watch: Kyle Dodgson — 28 goals and 46 assists — and Brent Boschman — 36 goals and 31 assists.

from PAGE 8 of reach. The Cowgirls have followed a five-game losing streak with three straight wins and set a school record with their fifth win against a ranked opponent this season. Riley cried after being introduced in a pregame Senior Night ceremony, when she was honored as the team’s career scoring leader. Anna Prins added 12 points and Whitney Williams and Poppens scored 11 apiece for the Cyclones, who had won 11 of their previous 14 games against OSU. Poppens also had a careerhigh 17 rebounds. Poppens converted a three-point play to put Iowa State up 28-26 with 6:50 to play in the first half, but the Cyclones didn’t score again before halftime. Toni Young scored six points in a row between a 3-pointer by Riley and Garrison’s 3 from the right wing with 4 seconds Oklahoma State’s Precious Robinson and Tegan Cunningham fight for the rebound with Iowa State’s left that made it 38-28 at Anna Prins during the Cyclones’ 78–70 loss in Stillwater, Okla., on Wednesday night.

Like Lindenwood, Liberty has four players with 50 or more points. Liberty also boasts the leading goal scorer in the tournament in Brent Boschman and the leading scorer Kyle Dodgson, who has 74 total points this season. Liberty (26–2–1) could also be a dark horse in the tournament due to the amount of good players on its team.
No. 11 Arizona State Who to watch: Joe Schweiger — 29 goals and 36 assists Arizona State could turn some heads in the tournament. The Sun Devils began the season 13–0 and if they return to that form, they could be dangerous. The Devils did not have an impressive record against tournament qualifiers, winning only three of 12. If they hope to win this weekend, they need Joe Schweigerto produce goals.
