FRIDAY
Government of the Student Body
Roling-Dobbels win election Peterson-Wilson campaign Voter turnout nearly doubles last year’s total By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer Luke Roling and Nate Dobbels will serve as Government of the Student Body president and vice president for the 2010–’11 academic year. Dobbels said he felt relieved after it was announced Thursday
night that the two had won. “I can breathe now,” Dobbels said. “Relieved is a good word,” Roling said. The pair agreed that the news of their election hadn’t sunk in yet, and it probably wouldn’t until Friday morning. When asked what they would be doing to celebrate after the announcement, Roling and Dobbels both had the same answer: “homework.” Roling’s and Dobbels’ first executive task is a presidential com-

Chandra Peterson and her presidential running mate Jacob Wilson were fined the minimum fine of $50 for an election code violation Thursday night. An e-mail was sent from a listserv around to various members of a greek house Monday, which is against the election code. The e-mail was only expected to have reached about 85 sorority members. Wilson read a letter from Peterson to the
Election Commission at Thursday night’s meeting because Peterson was ill. The letter pointed out that the Election Code states that each infraction will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and that they did not know who had sent out the e-mail. The letter said that Jason Boggess was actively campaigning for Luke Roling and Nate Dobbels when he sent out a e-mail to about 9,000 students Sunday night. Peterson’s letter also pointed out that Rol-

Simon Estes: inspirational
Simon Estes, the F. Wendell Miller distinguished artist in residence at Iowa State, is an internationally acclaimed opera singer born in Centerville. Estes’ vocal career has taken him to major opera houses on every continent, and won him numerous awards. Estes continues to give back to students and the community, through teaching, mentoring and concerts. Currently Estes is planning to do 99 concerts, one in each of the counties of Iowa.

Opera legend gives students opportunities, chance to shine with scholarships and tag-team performance By Sarah Binder Daily Staff Writer
W
hen Simon Estes, internationally renowned bass-baritone, auditioned for the University of Iowa chorus in 1957, he was turned away. The head of the vocal department told him he didn’t have any talent. At the time, there were no black students among those 230 voices. But Estes, grandson of a slave from Centerville, doesn’t resent that or any of the other difficulties he faced during his college years — even though at times he lived on cereal and water and slept on uncarpeted floors. “I had to struggle financially because my parents didn’t have any money,” Estes said. “So I’d work — scrub floors, shine shoes, you name it, I did everything to get through college. And I thought, ‘If ever I’m blessed someday, I would like to help other students so it wouldn’t be such a strong burden on them financially.’” And he has helped other students all around the world. The performer, who also works as a professor at Iowa State, Wartburg College and Boston University, has organized numerous scholarship organizations that bear his name: the Simon Estes Educa-

tional Foundation in Tulsa, Okla., which has raised more than $6 million since its founding in 1983; the Simon Estes International Foundation, which offers medical care in Switzerland and Bulgaria; and the Simon Estes School in South Africa, which gives musical opportunities to some of the poorest children in the area. Beginning Friday, Estes is starting a new philanthropic effort. His new program, Roots and Wings, will take him on a concert tour of each of Iowa’s 99 counties. At each stop, Estes will be joined by a current music student from Iowa State or Wartburg College, and a choir composed of local high school students and community members. And at

each stop, scholarships will be given to one high school student regardless of what he or she plans to study, and also to one music student. This support for artistic education may be even more vital after the Des Moines Public School system announced Friday that it will cut 300 positions, mostly in the arts, music and physical education. Equally important to Estes and to those who will share the stage with him are the performance opportunities for aspiring artists. “He’s going to find great musicians everywhere he goes and give them their first chance for real exposure,” said Jesse Donner, senior in music who will perform with Estes in Hampton and West Des Moines. “Musicians never usually have a real ‘job’ until they’re in their 30s.” Estes said he hopes these concerts will lead to more paid jobs for young, local musicians. While the cost of attending a concert is similar to a movie ticket, the project should have economic benefits for the state of Iowa, in addition to entertainment and academic value.

Cyber Defense participants ‘hone’ network securing skills
Conference to cover campus diversity, ethnic understanding
By Abigail Barefoot Daily Staff Writer
By Kyle Peterson Daily Staff Writer
All their hard work comes down to a computer screen with a single letter repeated over and over again. Team members try to quickly get their network services up and running again. They aren’t willing to accept defeat yet. Diligently they try to save their network from a group of computer hackers. This is a typical scenario at the Cyber Defense Competition at Iowa State. Cyber Defense is a competition to help students learn and practice securing a computer network and services from potential hackers. The competition will be held Saturday at Iowa State. The competition will host 10 teams from the Midwest, including teams from DMACC, the University of Northern Iowa, Drake Uni-
versity and Iowa State. Logan Scott, freshman in computer engineering, will compete in this semester’s competition. Scott has been competing in Cyber Defense competitions since high school. He competed in the Cyber Defense competition last fall and his team received third place. Scott and his team will be competing on one of Iowa State’s Blue teams. Cyber Defense is made up of four teams at a time. Scott and his teammates on the Blue team are in charge of building a network server and services for it, such as e-mail, a Web site and an instant messaging program. At the competition their job is to protect their system from the hackers, or the Red team. The Red team, composed of students and industry professionals, tries to hack into the

Students, community members and faculty will gather Friday to talk about diversity at the 11th Annual Iowa State Conference on Race and Ethnicity — or ISCORE — from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. in the Memorial Union. “I heard about it from a student on my floor last year,” said John Solomon, sophomore in materials engineering. “I thought it sounded like a lot of fun and a great learning experience.” Solomon and other students applied to the program, and attended the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education in San Diego this past

summer. They then took a three-credit class, University Studies 290, in which they researched a topic related to race and ethnicity. Solomon’s area of research has been tribal colleges, unique Native American higher educational systems. In addition to readings and films in class, Solomon spoke with a leader in the Native American community.
“We met with prominent leaders who are affiliated with tribes in central Iowa and discussed the issues with them,” Solomon said. Students’ research will be presented in sessions at today’s conference. “We’re presenting to students, the general public, professors, anybody that comes to hear us,” Solomon said. Organizers hope the ISCORE conference will expose the community to the diversity at Iowa State and lead to greater cultural understanding. Personally, Solomon said he has been influenced by his

Sri Lanka
Event celebrates culture through rhythm, dance By Alexander Hutchins Daily Staff Writer The Sri Lankan Association at Iowa State will be presenting a Rangana Thaala event at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. Rangana Thaala means “rhythms of dance” in Sinhala, the national language of Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan Association president Thilina Weerasekera and society member Vidhushi Rambukwella said the night is an opportunity for Sri Lankan students to display the origins and diversity of their national culture. Rambukwella explained that the Sri Lankan Association has been a part of Iowa State for over almost two decades, but the group has lacked the membership to produce a large show like this. She explained that the current show has been planned and developed since before the Sri Lankan Association received funding from the Government of the Student Body for the event last semester. “It has been in the making for a long time,” Weerasekera said. The costumes and props for the event have all been made by group
members, and Sri Lankan performers from across the Midwest will be performing at Rangana Thaala. “We’ve been practicing [the dances] since January,” Rambukwella said. She said the Sri Lankan Association wants to show that Sri Lanka has a vibrant culture independent from India. A history of Portuguese, Dutch and English colonial rule has created a varied and independent culture. The dances in Rangana Thaala will show influences from all of these periods. Tickets to the event are $15 and can be purchased at the ticket office in the Memorial Union, or online by e-mailing sla_comittee@iastate.edu. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door as well. Anyone may attend the event and observe the dances for free. Ticket prices cover the cost of the eight-course Sri Lankan meal that accompanies the performance. Rambukwella said the event is not a fundraiser. The group will likely lose some money on the event, she said, but the goal is to help others celebrate the culture of Sri Lanka.

The e-mail was started as a forward, thanking the houses for letting Peterson and Wilson come visit. It is believed that the person who sent the e-mail was unaware of the Election Code, and that they were not actively campaigning. During the hearing, Roling had little to say.

because the use of a listserv did break the Election Code. Wilson said that the members of the greek community who were involved in this shouldn’t feel responsible for what happened. He also said that the Election Code needs clarifying to prevent future miscommunications. The Election Commission decided on the minimum fine because they thought it was a passive event, agreeing that Peterson and Wilson didn’t know the e-mail was being sent, and because the e-mail was sent to fewer people. Brian Phillips, GSB Court chief justice, said that Roling and Dobbel’s appeal for the fines that were imposed on
them for nearly $2,000 will be discussed at a preliminary hearing Sunday. The meeting will decide whether or not the appeal is viable enough for a court hearing. Phillips said that the Election Code states that any appeals against the Election Commissions must be in before 24 hours have passed after polls close. Phillips said the court would look at an appeal after the 24 hours if circumstances had been changed so that the by-law doesn’t apply to the situation.

Faith:
‘Avatar’ worthy of Oscar’s Best Sound Mixing As the eve of the 82nd Academy Awards draws near, we would like to thank the Academy for an outstanding — and overwhelmingly dark — list of nominees for Best Picture. Ten of them, in fact, the most since 1943, when “Casablanca” won. But we’re not particularly concerned with the outcome of the Best Picture category. This year, we’re setting our sights on the nominees for Best Sound Mixing. Why this category? It’s the showdown of the year: “Avatar” versus “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” Judging by total movie gross for 2009, this may be of interest to you, too. “Avatar,” after all, not taking inflation into account, is the highest grossing movie of all time. And what is the number 10 movie on that list? You guessed it — “Revenge of the Fallen.” Those poor Autobots couldn’t quite make it to nine. But movie gross aside, it’s up in the air which movie will win. Way “Up,” just like that house in the sky. You know, the one with the — SQUIRREL! We can’t say for certain which movie will take the Oscar. But we can give you an education in how to deduce the outcome, Sherlock Holmesstyle. Each movie featured a bright star. One transfixed Sam Witwicky with her cut-off blue jeans, while the other was just blue. The chemistry between Megan Fox and Shia LaBeouf was fantastic. We can’t help but wonder if he’ll be the future Mr. Fox. On the other hand, Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington blindsided us with the crazy connection between human and Na’vi hearts. We’ll make no bones about it, Jake Sully’s transformation from human to avatar to Na’vi was lovely. Precious few of us can deny the appeal of a magical love story between a princess and a frog, and both movies delivered in that category. It takes a serious man to put someone in a hurt locker the way Jake did at the end of Avatar. In fact, the scene where he fought the robo-army looked like “Transformers.” Maybe James Cameron and Michael Bay would benefit from a joint venture. It seems they both love to spend extreme sums of money on special effects. But Avatar has found its place in the sun in the district of films that have earned nine nominations, along with “The Last Emperor” and “Gigi.” And, we hope, in the category of Sound Mixing, the messenger will deliver good news for “Avatar.” Why? It’s simple. “Avatar” has Zoe Saldana. Zoe Saldana is in “Star Trek.” “Star Trek” has Captain James T. Kirk. Captain Kirk is from Iowa. Iowa always wins. By the supertransitive property, Iowa equals “Avatar.” “Avatar” wins. The losers might feel inglourious, like we did when Megatron killed Optimus Prime. Oh my god, you killed Optimus Prime — you bastard! But just like Prime comes back to life, Michael Bay will always have Paris. Or “Transformers 3.”

I shook my head and continued walking, but it wasn’t 15 steps before my conscience caught up with me, and I immediately spun around and headed back to the drift. Leaning down, I ran my fingers over the snow, smearing the message to the point that it became unreadable. Flicking and shaking the quickly melting water from my skin, I reached out and grabbed a nearby stick and dug it deep, creating my own message. I wrote the word “LOVE,” accompanied by a heart and peace sign, and smiled when I finished. Fearful for what I thought was sure to happen to my proclamation, I’ve made sure to walk by Lied every day since. The other day, to my surprise and delight, not only was my message still there, but someone had added to it. Above my writing, someone wrote “God is,” turning my commie-pinko-hippieliberal-secularist message into a religious one. More so than that, a distinctly Christian one. Anyone who knows me would hardly call me a holy cow, or a holy anything for that matter.
I have my own idea about the supernatural — who “God” is or is not, what it is or is not, and why it is or is not. In short: I’m not Christian and would be slightly displeased if people assumed I was or wanted me to become one. But I don’t hate the faith, and disagree with it as I might, I would never tell people they should change their beliefs to fit in better with mine. I would never try to change someone. Even with same-sex marriage — something I ardently support — I would never suggest that a church or religion be forced to so much as allow LGBT members in its congregation, let alone marry them. I might be disappointed, but I’d never force — or support something that forced — such actions. And no, same-sex marriage doesn’t do that despite what pundits may ominously warn, but that’s an entirely separate column. Or series of columns. When I told some of my friends this, they asked what I did about the addition. I told them that, in turn, I added an exclamation point. You know, to help drive the point home. They seemed stunned. They didn’t believe me, just as I’d wager those who’ve read some of my earlier and admittedly harsh columns about religion might not believe me. Why would someone who so fervently disagrees with a specific religion promote its message? Because I mean it when I say I would never try to change someone. As wrong as I might believe someone to be, I can only say what I think and let that speak
for itself. I can’t and won’t pursue an aggressive drive against something that person might hold as a vital element of his or her identity. And it’s on that point, finally, we come to the news peg of this column. (Sorry it took so long. One of the drawbacks to writing about religion happens to be spending half the column covering your bases.) Earlier this week, the group Atheist Agenda, at the University of Texas at San Antonio, began a “Smut for Smut” campaign, something that’s been going on for five years now. Atheist Agenda offers the following trade: A Bible or other religious text for a porno mag. They say it’s because the religious texts promote things like violence and degradation of women, and are therefore no better than pornography. The stunt is, quite frankly, disgusting, disappointing and infuriating. It’s no better than the ridiculous and laughable assertion that Hollywood movies are anti-LGBT because they feature no obviously gay characters — apparently if you’re not prancing in a tutu while slurring your S’s or hacking off your long locks with a machete and donning a sudden flair for flannel, you’re disqualified from Gay Club. Or that we must make sure not to refer to masculine-gendered words as such, for example, “manpower” becomes “personpower.” Or anything Perez Hilton says, ever. If a group’s goal is to educate people, to show them that group’s view, this kind of behavior has no place in its efforts. This play by the Atheist Agenda is attention-
seeking at its most grandiose, and childish nose-snubbing at its worst. If anybody supportive of Tom Short has wondered why so many people get upset about his visits (which will be this April 1922), it’s because he strikes us like this “Smut for Smut” campaign likely strikes you. Such action and showboating does nothing to create constructive discourse. It alienates and frustrates, offends and condescends, but that’s not what we need. We don’t need this shouting match in which both sides just scream at each other. Sure, they can; it’s their right, but look, just because it’s your right to trade Bibles for porn/condemn people to Hell/eat an entire jar of mayonnaise in 100-degree weather doesn’t mean it’s the smart, constructive or responsible thing to do. By all means, don’t be terrified of being politically incorrect, but— time to follow my own advice— don’t be like Atheist Agenda and be total douchebags either. Leave your writing on the wall. Or in the snow, as it were. I’m not asking you to change. Be who you are and believe what you believe. I’m just asking you be mindful of peoples’ toes while you’re out dancing your jig on the corner.

Health:
The classic condom ‘how-to’ Proper contraceptive use essential knowledge for every young adult
A
h, the condom. Arguably, this is the most widely used contraception on college campuses, and for good
reason. They’re inexpensive — or free at Thielen Student Health Center during Free Condom Wednesday and other locations around campus — and they’re effective. That is, they’re effective when properly used and taken care of. According to Go Ask Alice, Columbia University’s sexual health resource Web site, the majority of condom failure is caused by human error. Many things we don’t even think about are dangerous to the life of a condom. There are four main do’s and do not’s when it comes to proper condom use: DO: Store your condoms in a cool — not cold — dry place away from direct sunlight, direct heat and direct air conditioning. DON’T: Store your condoms in your wallet, purse, car, backpack, pockets or inside heating/air conditioning ducts. Extreme heat will deteriorate the latex, which will make tearing much more likely. Extreme cold will cause the water-based lubricant — most condoms are already lubricated with a water-based lubricant — to freeze into small ice crystals, which will create small tears in the latex.
Leah Hirsch is a Student 2 Student Peer Educator with the Thielen Student Health Center and a HIV/AIDS Counseling, Testing and Referral Intern for Johnson County Public Health.
Condoms should never be stored below 32 degrees Fahrenheit or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It is OK to transport condoms in a purse, backpack or wallet for a short amount of time, but do not keep them there long-term. DO: Use a water-based lubricant with condoms if desired. DON’T: Use oil-based lube, silicon-based lube, aloe vera, Vaseline/petroleum jelly, baby oil, olive oil, vegetable or canola oil, or any other kind of oil with a latex condom. All these materials can and will break down the latex, which can cause the condom to break. DO: Open the condom package carefully and attentively, with your hands, after you have removed rings or dangling bracelets. DON’T: Tear the condom package open with your teeth, without care or while wearing potentially sharp jewelry. This is a very easy way to tear the condom without knowing it. DO: When applying the condom, pinch the top end before rolling it onto the penis so that the semen has somewhere to go when the man ejaculates. Also, make sure you are rolling the condom on the correct way, and all the way to the
base of the penis. DON’T: Roll the condom on the wrong way. Don’t forget to pinch the tip before rolling the condom on. And don’t roll the condom on only part-way. Trying to roll the condom on the wrong way will be uncomfortable, and the struggle could cause you to tear the condom. Not pinching the tip will not only leave nowhere for the ejaculate to go, but it can also cause an air bubble to form in the condom. This air bubble will cause less sensation for the person wearing the condom, and it can also cause the condom to break. If the condom is not rolled on all the way, it is likely that it will slip off mid-coitus, thus defeating the purpose of the condom entirely. These are the four main do’s and do not’s of condom use. Make sure the condoms are stored properly, open the package carefully, use only water-based lubricant and apply the condom correctly. More important than any of these things, however, is to use condoms consistently and conscientiously. Condoms are only effective if they are actually being used. They are even more effective if they are being used correctly.

Koll receives award, joins elite company
Hilton to honor seniors By Kayci Woodley Daily Staff Writer
By Dan Tracy Daily Staff Writer
While Cyclone fans are packing their bags for Kansas City, Mo., and anticipating the NCAA Tournament bids, the ISU players are dreaming only of the next 40 minutes of game time. The No. 13 Cyclones (22–5, 10–4 Big 12) square off with Colorado on Saturday at 2 p.m. in Hilton Coliseum for their final regular season game. “It’s very important. Coach [Bill Fennelly] stresses about how the next 40 minutes are very important to us, and just being able to focus on the next game — not any other games after that, not Big 12 Tournament, not anything. The next 40 minutes are the most important to us,” said senior forward Genesis Lightbourne. The Cyclones will have to work without a chunk of their puzzle Saturday, just as they did Wednesday night. Due to an illness, senior point guard Alison Lacey was unable to travel with the team to Stillwater, Okla., and will be absent on the court again Saturday. Lacey might not even be in the building this weekend. Without its captain, the ISU offense will have to regroup and avoid turnovers and mental mistakes that plagued them against Oklahoma State on the road. “I think the whole thing was just us being able to find ourselves,” said senior guard Denae Stuckey. “And when [Lacey] doesn’t play, every other person has to step up and play even harder, and our big thing was turnover mistakes [against Oklahoma State].” Against the Buffaloes, five seniors will be honored after the game as they say goodbye to Hilton despite knowing the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament are in Ames. Beginning March 21, the Cyclones will host the NCAA Tournament, giving
Following dominating performances in the 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs at last weekend’s Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships, ISU senior Lisa Koll has Koll been named the 2010 Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Women’s Performer of the Year. Koll set Big 12 meet records in both events and currently holds the top times in both the 3,000 — 8:56.09 — and 5,000, at 15:29.65. “It’s great not only for me individually, but for Iowa State and for distance running, too,” Koll said of the honor. “There’s a lot of great sprinters in the Big 12, and so for a distance runner to win it, that’s exciting and I hope that continues over the next few years.” The only other Cyclone to ever receive Big 12 Performer of the Year honors for the indoor season is none other than Koll’s coach, ISU track and field coach and former Cyclone Corey Ihmels, who received the honor in 1997. For her current status at the national level, Koll has also been named to the Bowerman’s Watch List, a list of potential recipients of the Bowerman Award, which recognizes the most outstanding collegiate men’s and women’s track and field athlete. The list for the female award currently contains 10 of the top female athletes in the country, with three coming from the Big 12, Koll and Texas A&M sprinters junior Jessica Beard and senior Porscha Lucas. The winner of the 2009 female Bowerman was Colorado senior Jenny Barringer, the only American collegiate runner to record a faster time than Koll in the 5,000-meter.

Déjà vu for Cyclones at Razorback By Michael Zogg Daily Staff Writer The Cyclones will see some familiar faces this weekend at the Razorback Invitational. Iowa State (7–9) will head to Fayetteville, Ark., where it will face Eastern GemeinhardtIllinois (5–3) and SouthCesler ern Mississippi (11–2) on Friday. Then the Cyclones will face three straight previous opponents in Drake (6–3), Arkansas (8– 3) and No. 20 LouisianaLafayette (10–5). Kidwell “They have seen us and we have seen them, so we will be ready for each other,” senior outfielder Kelsey Kidwell said. “It should be a good tournament.” The Cyclones are 1–2 against those three teams, with a three-run win over Drake, a two-run loss to Arkansas and a one-run loss in overtime against Louisiana-Lafayette. Although it is under .500 in those games, Iowa State is confident it can have success. “I think they feel comfortable with the idea that they can beat Lafayette and Arkansas,” said coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler. “At the same time, we always know that Drake’s going to be a good game.” The Cyclones are particularly excited for their rematch against Arkansas. “Arkansas beat us at the Minnesota tournament, so we will be gunning for them, especially since coach Pink [Jamie Pinkerton] was there last year,” Kidwell said. “It makes for a fun rivalry out of the weekend.” Pinkerton was coach at Arkansas for the past five seasons, leading his teams to the regional tournament the past two years. Arkansas and Pinkerton parted ways on good terms at the end of last year as Pinkerton wanted to move to the Midwest to be closer to his wife’s family. Iowa State is also excited for its rematch against Louisiana-Lafayette. The last time they met, the Cyclones rallied from a 4–0 deficit in the sixth inning before losing in extra innings. “We need to come out stronger hitting,” Kidwell said. “We can’t keep the game so close. We just need to get ahead and stay ahead.”

Where: Hilton Coliseum When: 2 p.m. Saturday Media coverage: Mediacom (TV), Cyclone Radio Network Notes: Iowa State will honor its five seniors Saturday following the game, when the players will speak to the Hilton Coliseum crowd. Senior Alison Lacey will likely miss the game — and may not be in attendance — after sitting out of the Cyclones’ game against Oklahoma State on Wednesday with an illness. With a win, Iowa State would clinch the No. 2 seed in next week’s Big 12 Conference Tournament in Kansas City. Lacey a chance to put on her uniform in Hilton if she isn’t present Saturday. “Obviously I want her here and I’d love to have her be recognized after the game with the other seniors, but that decision will be made by the doctors and by us,” Fennelly said. “Whatever they feel comfortable with and whatever she feels comfortable with, that’s what we’ll go with and hopefully she’s here. Hopefully she’ll get a chance to be recognized by her fans.” Along with Lacey and Stuckey, seniors Lightbourne, Anna Florzak and Shellie Mosman will be honored Saturday for their contributions during their time at Iowa State.

Lied to host NCAA qualifier By Dan Tracy Daily Staff Writer The Harry Hoak Track at Lied Recreation Athletic Center has become like a second home to this year’s men’s and women’s track and field teams. Despite already having all their daily practices housed there, the Cyclones have made the trip down Beach Avenue seven times already this season, for each of their first seven meets. The familiarity with the facilities helped the Cyclones last weekend, as the women finished sixth and men finished seventh at last weekend’s Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships. Saturday the team will host its final meet of the season as athletes from all three NCAA divisions will be competing for one last chance at a berth in the NCAA Indoor Championship field. The only automatic qualifier for the Cyclones this season is senior Lisa Koll, who qualified in both the 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs, and the only provisional qualifier to date is senior Jenna Caffrey, in the 60-meter hurdles. Although there are only a few athletes nearing provisional marks, a majority of the ISU roster will be in action Saturday. One of the athletes nearing a provisional mark is

Koglin
junior thrower Josh Koglin. Koglin will need to improve his season-best throw of 61-01.25 more than two feet to reach 63-11.00. Koglin has seen the ball travel that far in practice, and even his last throw at the Big 12 meet — a foul by two feet — hit the 63feet mark. “[A qualifying throw] is there, my body feels good enough to do it,” Koglin said. “If I can throw 63 feet falling down, another foot shouldn’t be too much if I can get a good finish.” There will be a group of ISU runners that will not be in town for Saturday’s meet. Senior Erin Penticoff, and the men’s distance medley relay team of freshman Brian Sandvig, junior Michael Alexander, senior Brandon Rooney and junior Hillary Bor, will head to Notre Dame University in South Bend, Ind., for the NCAA Qualifier held there. Coach Corey Ih-
mels made the decision to send the group to South Bend because many of the nation’s best competition in both the 800 meters and distance medley relay will be on the track. A fourth-place finisher in the 800-meter run at the Big 12 Championships, Penticoff will need to improve on her time of 2:08.97 from last weekend by nearly 19 seconds as she will try to hit the provisional qualifying time of 1:50.50. For the men’s relay, Bor is the only returning runner from last weekend’s relay squad, which finished second in a time of 9:42.99. Sandvig will run the 400-meter leg, Alexander the 800-meter leg, followed by Rooney at 1,200 meters and anchoring will be Bor, the Big 12 indoor champion, at 1,600 meters. Assistant coach Travis Hartke said many of the best distance medley relay teams in the country will be in South Bend this weekend, which is why the team will make the trip. “Notre Dame is basically the place to be this weekend for [distance medley relay] teams,” Hartke said. The competition at Lied Recreation Athletic Center will get underway at 10 a.m. on Saturday with the women’s weight throw.

Gilstrap, Cyclones look for momentum By Nate Sandell Daily Staff Writer Iowa State’s last-second loss to Missouri on Tuesday ensured that the Cyclones will finish in 11th place in the Big 12. With their spot already set, the Cyclones can start setting their sights on next week’s Big 12 Conference Tournament. But before Iowa State makes the trip to Kansas City, the Cyclones have one last chance to match last season’s record of 15–16 overall and 4–12 in the Big 12. Standing in their way is No. 5 Kansas State, which is coming off an 80–63 loss to No. 2 Kansas on Wednesday. With the regular season in its final stage, Iowa State is searching for some sort of reprieve to lessen the sting of its long list of close losses this year. Missouri guard Zaire Taylor’s buzzer beating lay-in Wednesday left Iowa State in a state of shock. The loss was the ninth time in conference play the Cyclones have lost despite being within at least a possession with less than four minutes remaining. “It’s the bounce of the ball, and sometimes you would like to think that you will get that bounce once in a while,” coach Greg McDermott said after his team’s 69–67 loss Tuesday. “But I’m also a firm believer that you create your own luck and you create luck by not making mistakes.” While Iowa State turned out an otherwise solid performance, it was indeed a number of costly missed passes and misread defensive plays that let the Tigers escape with a win. “You would just like to think we can make a play

when we need to make a play,” McDermott said. “Because we have proven that we can make it to get back in a game or stay in a game, but when the game’s on the line we’ve made some mistakes.” The Cyclones can be comforted slightly by the resurgence of senior Marquis Gilstrap. After being plagued by shooting woes for several weeks, Gilstrap has finally broken out of his slump. In his last three games, Gilstrap has averaged 18.6 points per game, just under four points better than his season average of 14.9 ppg. Despite this season being his first at Iowa State, Gilstrap has been embraced by both fans and teammates. He received a standing ovation during a senior recognition ceremony prior to tipoff Tuesday. “It meant a lot for the fans to do that, especially with this being my first year, to receive that much love,” Gilstrap said. “I don’t think I could have come into a better situation.”

guys that people think can help us get that done.” Fellow senior David Zabriskie (HWT) will also be going for his third individual Big 12 title. “The Beast from the East” played a big role in the Cyclones’ 2009 championships, clinching a share of the team title with a win over Missouri’s Mark Ellis. During his freshman season, Zabriskie took down Oklahoma State’s Jared Rosholt, now the top-ranked heavyweight in the country, to help the Cyclones to their 2007 victory. With five seniors competing with a total of five individual Big 12 championships, Iowa State enters the tournament as one of the more experienced teams. However, Varner warns that age and experience alone don’t win championships. “We were freshmen at one time and we got second in the nationals, so it can happen no matter what age you are,” Varner said. “For us, it’s a good thing that we have that experience in the tournament because we know what to expect.” Senior Mitch Mueller (149) will have his last chance to get an individual Big 12 title after finishing second the last two years. Junior Jon Reader is in a similar position, having finished third the past two years. The tournament will begin at 11 a.m. in McCasland Field House. A live feed of the action will be available at www.big12sports.com.

hard, get after it, try to score points, look to counter when they have those opportunities, they get away when they’re on bottom and ride hard when they have to, they’ll have an opportunity to win. “I think they’re a better team and better wrestlers now than they were last year, so let’s see it.” Last season’s championships didn’t end quite like the team wanted. The Cyclones walked away sharing the Big 12 title after disappointing performances. Five Cyclone wrestlers reached the first-place round, only to be defeated. To counter last year’s performances, Jackson is hoping for cardinal-and-gold singlets to be a fixture in the late rounds of this year’s tournament.
“We’re looking to try to put 10 guys in the finals,” Jackson said. “Obviously we’ve put guys in the finals the last few years and the majority of those guys have not won.” Senior 133-pounder Nick Fanthorpe is going for his third Big 12 championship, previously taking the crown at the 2008 and 2009 events. Despite his past success, Jackson referred to him as his “sleeper” following the Nebraska meet on Feb. 21. “Based on him being a little injured earlier in the year, where we’re at now and some of the losses he has, no one’s expecting him to perform,” Jackson said. “For me, when people start penciling in what it’s going to take for us to win the national championship or a Big 12 title, it seems like he’s not one of the
ISU Crew Club
made contributions off the court, along with their energy from the sidelines. “I think it’s a very unique group of people,” Fennelly said. “We have five seniors and they, like a lot of college teams, come from everywhere.” The Australian import, Lacey, has been a starter and key player for Iowa State ever since her freshman year, and took hold of the point guard position this year for the Cyclones. Lacey has averaged 17.1 points and 5.3 assists per game this season, and recently became just the first player in ISU history to record 1,500 points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists in a career. Stuckey is known for things that aren’t seen in a box score. Her tight defense and hustle plays have made her a key player for the Cyclones, and this season Stuckey stepped into a leadership role alongside Lacey. When the game is on the line, or the Cyclones need to regroup, Fennelly often pulls aside his three leaders — Lacey, Stuckey and junior Kelsey Bolte — to get things back on track. “They’ve all contributed in their own ways; and certainly for [Genesis] and Anna and Shellie, they haven’t played a lot, but their contribution was made in a lot of ways, besides the game nights,” Fennelly said. “There’s a lot of things that they’ve done that I think people on the inside know that they’ve done that on the outside you usually don’t recognize that.” Florzak, from Kansas City, Mo., has been on the Dean’s list four semesters and was honored as an ISU Scholar-Athlete three times.

Some people just don’t know how to share. After splitting ownership of the Big 12 title for the first time in its history last season, Iowa State will attempt to bring sole possession of the trophy back to Ames. “This is the time of year that we all live for, that we all look forward to,” said coach Kevin Jackson. “It’s hard to contain our excitement for this weekend.” The Cyclones (13–2, 4–0 Big 12) will bring their most experienced team in years to Norman, Okla., in an attempt at a fourth straight Big 12 title, a feat that hasn’t been accomplished since Oklahoma State’s run from 2003–’06. “It’s something cool to think of and something special to be a part of, kind of like being part of the 1,000 dual wins,” said senior 197-pounder Jake Varner. “Not everyone can say they were a part of that and not everyone can say that they won it every year they came in.” Iowa State is riding a sevenmeet win streak, and Jackson believes that if the team continues to wrestle the way it has over that streak, a Big 12 championship shouldn’t be too far out of reach. “Wrestling’s not rocket science,” Jackson said. “If they go out there and they compete

Although the team is looking forward to this tournament, it is coming off its worst weekend of the season, going 1–4 at the Georgia Tournament “We will definitely use that as motivation, because nobody likes to walk away from a tournament 1–4,” Kidwell said. “Obviously we need to do a lot better than we did last weekend and
Mosman is a native of Carroll, and has been a member of the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll every semester at Iowa State and was honored this season as a member of the Chick-fil-A Winter Community of Champions by the Big 12. Mosman posted a career high in points this season against Arkansas Pine-Bluff, where she compiled 14 points in early December. Lightbourne, from Las Vegas, missed part of her senior season after having her left knee scoped as a result of a lateral meniscus tear. During preseason and after her return from surgery, Lightbourne has helped the freshmen find their way, as she was the only returning player for Iowa State who had any experience in the post. “I might not have the most experience courtwise, but you kind of get to know the coaches expectations a little better because you’ve been in the system and just trying to be able to answer those questions,” Lightbourne said. “I feel like that’s the main part, is just trying to help them out, trying to make them feel comfortable and being able to contribute whenever I can.” In the last four seasons, Iowa State has gone to the NCAA Tournament each year, including last year’s run to the Elite Eight for just the second time in school history. As different as they may be, all the seniors share that and other postseason memories. “There’s going to be a very short list across the country of graduating seniors that can say they played in four straight NCAA Tournaments, and they’ll be able to say that,” Fennelly said. “And I think that their contribution to our university will go way beyond their time as an Iowa State student athlete.”
come out a lot stronger.” Although disappointed with last week’s results, the Cyclones feel they learned from the experience. “Our approach to practice this week was a little bit different,” Kidwell said. “Last week, looking back, it looks like we were going through the motions. So our approach this week was to focus on every pitch, every practice, every minute.”

ESTES from PAGE 1
“It’s an ambitious project,” said Michael Golemo, chairman of the music department. “Simon is very excited and working very hard to make it happen. He’s a special part of our music and theater department.” Four concerts have been scheduled, and Estes said six or seven more are currently being discussed. “It’s a great thrill and an honor, and I look at it even as a blessing to be able to share with the young students at these institutions the experiences that I’ve had singing at all the major opera houses in the world,” he said. “I work with them on voice and diction in different languages, interpretation and what it’s like to be a professional opera singer — the responsibilities that go along with it.” Estes’ experiences certainly qualify him to discuss those responsibilities. After being rejected by the Iowa chorus, Estes was assigned to a new teacher on the staff — one who would take on the supposedly talentless student. Charles Kellis heard in Estes

Blue team’s services and shut them down. Scott knows that no matter how hard a team tries, the Red team is bound to find a way to get into the server. “It’s not a matter of if they will, it’s a matter of when they will.” Scott said. Along with the Blue and Red teams, there is the Green team, which scores the Blue team on its services and tries to keep the Blue team busy with small tasks that distract from the potential hackers. The main judges are the White team, which awards points for the amount of time the Blue team can keep up its services. The main goal of the competition is to simulate a real world work environment that future engineers will encounter. The winning team will be

the potential to sing opera, and encouraged him to audition at Julliard. “I took a special interest and spent a lot of extra time with him because he kept improving,” said Kellis, who currently lives in New York City and still teaches private voice lessons. During his college years, Estes was working overnight shifts to support his mother and younger brother while he was a full-time student. After saving up for a plane ticket to New York and auditioning, Estes was awarded a full scholarship to Julliard, where he studied in 1963 and 1964. By 1965, he was making his debut on the international stage in Germany’s Deutsche Oper as the high priest Ramfis in Verdi’s “Aida.” The next year, he won third prize in the prestigious Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow, Russia. “My career just kind of catapulted after having won that bronze medal — it was almost like a fairy tale,” he said. “If someone had told me when I was in Centerville that I would be able to go to Europe and around the world — I would never have dreamed that. So
much happened so fast in my life.” Estes went on to perform hundreds of roles in major opera houses around the world. He’s sung to six U.S. presidents, kings and queens and political leaders such as Nelson Mandela. He recently performed at the 2009 Kennedy Center Honors. And to this day he still talks to his mentor, Kellis. Even after gaining economic success, however, Estes had to face several obstacles based on his race. “There were many opera houses, I’m sorry to say more in my own country, the United States, that wouldn’t let me sing. The Europeans went more on your talent than your skin color, but it was very difficult,” he said. “Still today there are very, very, very few men of color that are singing in the opera houses of the world. I think that’s a tragedy, because there are lots of talents out there. We have a long way to go.” He said the strong faith he inherited from his parents has helped him through those times. “My faith gave me the courage not to hate and to be
that which keeps its services running the longest and maintains the quality of the services. “It’s a balance between usability and security,” Scott explained. The task is difficult and stressful for Blue team members, who have to be prepared for anything. “It’s really contrived, the realness of it, by having competitors follow strict rules while knowing that it will allow vulnerability. It makes a nearly impossible task ever harder,” Scott said. In all his years competing, Scott has yet to see a Blue team successfully stop all the Red team’s attacks. “My goal isn’t to beat the Red team — it’s to be a contender, which is a team that was a difficult network for the Red team to hack into,” Scott said. Scott feels ready for the competition but knows anything can happen. “I’m prepared, but I’m not
ignorant about the many problems I know are going to arise,” Scott said. Competition day is intense for the Blue team. If the Red team does cause mischief for the Blue team’s system, the Blue team must quickly find out why, write a report on the problem and fix it. The other option is admitting defeat. While the attacks are happening, the Blue team must answer questions from the Green team and add services when asked. At the end of the competition, the Red team debriefs all teams, telling them what vulnerabilities were used to get into their systems. For Scott it’s not the debriefing he learns the most from. “The people you learn the most from are your teammates and yourself,” Scott said. Despite the difficult environment and intense moments,

Gymnastics Coach, Chow’s Gymnastics and Dance Institute, a U.S. National Team Training Center Editor in Chief: Summer & Fall 2003,
Spring 2004
What was your best day as Editor in Chief? The spring 2004 Veishea riot occurred during my editorship of the Daily. Words cannot express how proud I was of the Daily staff. We didn’t sleep that weekend, literally. We put together the best paper of the year. On Monday, our newspapers were GONE at Maple-Will-Larch by 8 a.m.!
How did your experience as Editor in Chief prepare you for your professional career? I used to work as a news editor, helping reporters make their stories better, and now I work as a coach, helping gymnasts make their skills better! The Daily helped me learn how to motivate people.
Apply Today! All candidates for fall/spring Editor in Chief will be interviewed by the Iowa State Daily Publication Board at the Wednesday, March 31 meeting. Once you have submitted your application, you will be notified of the time and place of the interview. Applications can be picked up in 108 Hamilton Hall. Applications are due back to 108 Hamilton Hall by 5pm, March 22.
Jesse Donner, senior in music, and Lexi Rainforth, junior in music, will be sharing the stage with Estes in the weeks to come. Here, they shared their thoughts on the man, the music and the opportunity Roots and Wings represents for them:
The man:
The opportunity:
“He’s just inspirational. He never really talks about himself, and when he does, it’s in a roundabout sort of way that focuses on other people. He encourages us all the time — just wants the best for us,” Rainforth said. “We’re really lucky to have him — he’s got a really big heart. He’ll take the time to talk to singers about things other than singing, looking at the big picture, rather than the details. He talks about their positives, and gets them to be better,” Donner said.
“In a lesson one day, out of nowhere, he was like, ‘You’re going to do this with me.’ That was the end of last semester — then I had to kind of keep Rainforth it under wraps a bit.
