An amendment to the constitution limiting marriage between a man and a woman is introduced into the Iowa House of Representatives and does not pass.

The Iowa Supreme Court unanimously determines that denying a marriage license on the basis of sexual orientation is against the Iowa Constitution.

A Public Policy poll found that 46 percent of Iowa voters agreed that same-sex marriage should be legal, while 43 percent disagreed and thought it should be illegal.

Gay marriage threatened Bill proposed in Iowa legislature could end debate

By Natalie.Williams @iowastatedaily.com The tumultuous debate about marriage equality continues this week in the Iowa General Assembly.

Iowa legislators proposed

a bill that could limit marriage to between one man and one woman. This would overturn the 2009 court decision to allow same-sex marriage.

On Tuesday, a bill was introduced to the House of Representatives that proposed an amendment to the Iowa constitution. It would define marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman.

Iowa is one of only 10

states in the United States that allows couples of the same sex to marry. But keeping this status hasn’t been so easy.

In 2009 the Iowa Supreme Court unanimously voted to legalize same sex marriage and called an amendment to the Iowa constitution limiting marriage between a man and a woman “unconstitutional.”

The Iowa Supreme Court supported their decision by

citing section six of the Iowa Bill of Rights, which states, “All laws of a general nature shall have a uniform operation; the general assembly shall not grant to any citizen, or class of citizens, privileges or immunities, which, upon the same terms shall not equally belong to all citizens.”

A year later in the 2010 midterm election, three judges who made the ruling were not retained to the Iowa

By Kimberly.Woo @iowastatedaily.com A book of suspense, thrill and romance is anticipated to bring in readers of all interests; fiction novel “Five Days of Fear” has been written

by Ames author David Kovach.

The book is about a family who went on a picnic together at the Golden Gate Park until something bad happened. The grandmother in the story was kidnapped after overhearing a criminal conversation.

The story begins when the FBI enter the picture, David said.

The book evolves into a mystery filled with clues and romance throughout the plot, which all happens in five days, beginning on a Monday and ending on a Friday.

Although Lt. Col. Richard Smith has been here at Iowa State only two years, he has aspired to create a positive impact on the ISU Army ROTC program.

For the majority of his two-year tenure at ISU, Smith has been a major in the U.S. Army. Smith was promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel earlier this year, with an official promotion ceremony held Wednesday at the Holiday Inn. The promotion from major to lieutenant colonel is considered a landmark promotion in the Army, but Smith says he didn’t get there all by himself.

“I think the biggest thing for me to be where I am today it is not what I did as an individual,” Smith said. “I have had soldiers and officers along the

Ministry grows on campus Fraternity organizes All-Night Prayer event

By Hayley.Lindly @iowastatedaily.com Chi Alpha is a national organization established on campuses all over the country. According to Chi Alpha’s website, it got its name through the term “Christian Ambassadors,” which affiliates with the Greek letters Chi and Alpha.

“Our mission is to reach the campus and to reach the students that aren’t necessarily already in a college ministry, but to reach those who aren’t already in a college ministry, and bring them into an intimate relationship with Jesus,” said Ashley Moeller, senior in interior design and Chi Alpha treasurer.

Chi Alpha will host an All-Night Prayer event from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. on Friday.

“We are looking forward to it,” said Drew Meyer, one of Chi Alpha’s pastors.

“This is an open event, and students don’t have to feel pressure to stay the entire night. We want to give an extended opportunity for prayer and we are hoping that this event will allow students to slow down and really experience true prayer.”

Meyer and his wife, Tanya, are pastors for the Chi Alpha chapter at Iowa State.

They came to Iowa State to help the chapter grow and impact the lives of students.

“We want to establish an organization or committee that is going to be sustainable for years,” Drew said. “Really, our goal is that students 20 or 30 years from now will be walking for Jesus, and it would be because Chi Alpha’s discipleship.”

Isaac Glidewell, president of Chi Alpha and senior in math and secondary education, spoke how the club impacts him. “[Chi Alpha] has helped me grow in Christ by being in a community of other believers,” Glidewell said. “Having other people pray for me, encourage me and just having other people to grow in Christ with really helps me get closer to God.” Moeller said Iowa State’s chapter of Chi Alpha was founded in 2011 by students

Liberties Union of Iowa said it believes that this bill infringes on the rights of gays and lesbians.

“Filing [the bill] represents an unfortunate attempt to get political traction by trying to delegitimize some Iowa families. Iowans have had enough of this kind of maneuver. We want to protect and support families, not tear them down,” said Rita Bettis, legislative director of the ACLU. Both Bettis and Tafoya do not think that this bill will pass in the senate.

In the last election, Iowa’s neighbor state Minnesota voted “no” against a proposed amendment to their state constitution defining marriage as only between a man and a woman, similar to the one introduced to the Iowa house this week.

Guth said he thinks a vote by the people could solve our marriage equality issues and end the debate, but that would take at least two years. “[I] think a vote would end the debate at least in the legislature — there will always be someone unhappy on either side,” Guth said.

since it’s 2009 decision.

Sen. Dennis Guth is one of the writers of a similar bill in the senate. He said that his biggest problem with the legalization of same sex-marriage is that it never went through a legislation process.

“Seven unelected people got to decide this without any opposition. There were no Iowans or legislators involved.

Marriage is an institution and to change an institution it must go through the legislation process,” Guth said.

Molly Tafoya, communications director for One Iowa, called the bill “a shameful piece of legislation.” As one of the largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender organizations in the state, One Iowa promotes marriage equality and civil rights to protect the LGBT community.

“This bill sends a terrible message to families. Thirtyfive elected members don’t view all of Iowa’s families equally. Even though you pay taxes, go to church and attend PTA meeting, your family doesn’t matter to your legislators,“ Tafoya said.

that was spirit-filled like our ministry.”

During the service, many students will speak in tongues.

“Speaking in tongues is a form of prayer through the Holy Spirit ... not in English, it’s a language that we don’t understand, but it’s a language that our spirit man is understanding and communicating with God, for things that we don’t think in our physical mind to pray for,” said Moeller.

One of Chi Alpha’s goals is to help the new chapter at the University of Iowa.

“University of Iowa just started this semester, so we’ve been trying to get involved with them. We do support them financially, somewhat. That’s been really important to us, just to help them out,” Moeller said. “Even though we are a new organization, we want to be able to help them out as well.”

The University of Iowa’s chapter will also participate in the Chi Alpha All-Night Prayer event this Friday.

“Although they are Hawkeyes, they are still nice to get together with,” Moeller said.

David said the San Francisco Golden Gate Park, where David and Karen went when they were dating, and the bay area, where he grew up at in San Jose, Calif. played a role in his story writing.

“There were a few changes, slight, but it was copyrighted in 2006, but I just got a revision copyright, it came last week, so it’s updated 2012,” David said.

David started writing the book about six to seven years ago; it took him approximately 10 to 12 months to write the first draft. He edited it six

Smith describes his leadership style as one that prepares the cadets well for when they commission and leave for Iowa State.

“I treat them like lieutenant interns, and I have introduced systems to our cadet leadership that they will be required to execute when they commission, from the current methodology of writing the plans (CONOPS) to the after action reports, to tracking training using Army methodologies,” Smith said.

“In a program this good, it only requires small tweaks to take it to the next level, they were small changes in the grand scheme of things, but it is something that will make them better leaders and better prepared lieutenants,” Cadet Ryan Brady, junior in his-

“He goes above and beyond to make sure we develop into the future officers we can be, than say other instructors and commanders would.

Especially with his lower leadership too, he instructs them on how to instruct us better,” Brady said.

Iowa State has a decorated Army ROTC program, winning several awards throughout its history. Smith said that awards are very good to have but the program is not necessarily all about winning the awards but preparing his students.

“We have won lots of awards and thankfully, we continued to win after my first two years, but it’s not about the awards,” Smith said. “This job is about preparing these cadets to lead soldiers in any environment and contingency, and I think we do a pretty

darn good job of getting them ready.”

Cadet Megan Ripperger, junior in dietetics, said Smith works to prepare them for their careers as officers in the military.

“I think he really challenges us to like go beyond to where we think we can reach and challenges us to make our goals higher to make us better, not only as cadets but as future officers,” Ripperger said.

Smith believes that enjoying what you do is a key aspect for the Army and its ability to effectively teach cadets and soldiers how to lead other soldiers.

“I truly enjoy what I am doing here as the commander and professor of military science at Iowa State Army ROTC, and I think that is key for the Army, you have to enjoy what you are doing and enjoy leading soldiers and, in this case, cadets,” Smith said.

“I never know his plots until he’s written the book. He won’t tell me anything; it’s part of his whole creative process.”

David felt very good about it when he got the chance to be creative.

“When you get a chance to be creative, say this is it,” David said.

David gave a piece of advice to writers.

“If you’re interested in writing, go with what interest you cause you’re going to enjoy that,” David said. “If you try to write for a niche or something that’s popular and you’re not in it, it probably won’t be that good, so go with what you’re interested in, whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, whatever genre, go with what interests you.

Readers: Go with what you love, read what you love, and if you think you’d be embarrassed, just read it in private.”

Editorial:

Vote smart, attend GSB final debate Key members of the Government of the Student Body’s executive branch might be in Washington, D.C. lobbying Iowa’s federal representatives and senators, but back on campus, students are hearing the last few days of campaigning for the GSB elections set to take place on Monday and Tuesday.

In the past, turnout for those elections has been low. In 2012, 2,688 students voted. In 2011, 3,186 students voted. In 2010, 3,824 students voted.

In 2009, 2,345 students voted. There is always time for redemption, however, and the student body of Iowa State can make a turnaround and increase its electoral participation.

Some students have already participated, even though elections are still a few days away. They have attended campaign events, sported campaign buttons, reposted campaign news on their Twitter profiles and Facebook pages, and a few have penned letters to the editor.

We wonder how many students have given such support to one candidate or the other because that candidate was sociable and helpful to him once upon a time, or she signed the candidate’s ballot petition, or the candidate offered him a button, or she saw a friend post a link to Twitter or Facebook.

It is one thing to support a candidate when he or she is the only candidate to whom the supporter has been exposed. It is quite another to gather information about two (or more) candidates, weigh the strengths, weaknesses and qualities of each, and make a judgment. Hopefully, students are supporting a candidate after following the latter process. The same way that a scientist who does not modify his conclusions after his experiment does not confirm his hypothesis, anyone who supports a candidate for office without taking an interest in the other candidates, is not doing it right.

Fortunately, students have one more guaranteed opportunity to hear the candidates for president and vice president of GSB and to engage them on the issues. The second of two executive debates will take place tonight at 6 p.m. in the Cardinal Room of the Memorial Union.

It goes without saying that voting is part of good citizenship. Voting is the formal means through which constituents have an impact on politics. Sure, we can write letters, use social media and generally cause a ruckus during a representative’s term in office, but all that activity is informal and calculated to influence rather than command.

The distinction between elections and those other activities is that elections actually determine a result.

A constituency votes, and whichever candidate receives a majority (or, sometimes, plurality) of the votes is the one who gains office. With other activities (which are different forms of lobbying), however, the decision is still up to the officeholder.

A second act of good citizenship is engaging candidates for office. In order to vote well, voters must know something about the candidates — not just the one who approached them first.

Websites and videos are a good way to familiarize ourselves with candidates, nothing can ever replace the power of personal, spontaneous interaction. It is when a person has to think on his or her feet that we learn the most about him or her. We hope to see you there.

Courtesy photo Surveys from research organizations such as the Pew Research Center and the National Science Foundation have revealed a communication gap between the scientific community and the American public. Reporting on science could help to bridge this gap.

More knowledge needed Political solutions require much better scientific literacy

A

mericans have always been enthralled with scientific discoveries and engaged in heated debate over the latest issues in scientific fact — our founding fathers being a prime example. It is well-known that Benjamin Franklin made some of the most important scientific discoveries in history, and Thomas Jefferson is quoted as deeming science his life’s “supreme delight.”

Even today, it is evident that people find science immensely intriguing; according to a series of 2009 Pew Research Center surveys, 84 percent of Americans feel that all fields of science are “great for our society” and that scientific research generally makes life better for everyone. In fact, Americans value scientists in the top three of all careers, surpassed only by teachers and members of the military.

But despite our apparent interest in all things science, our knowledge of it has proven to be, well, lacking. In the Pew survey, more than 1,000 Americans were asked 12 questions about basic scientific facts, including questions on causes of global climate change, basic technology, and the difference between electrons and atoms.

Only 65 percent of Americans

By Elaine.Godfrey @iowastatedaily.com surveyed knew that carbon dioxide was the gas contributing most to global warming, and 54 percent of Americans answered that electrons are larger than atoms.

Half of the Americans surveyed answered confidently that lasers focus sound waves.

Another study from the National Science Foundation revealed that despite having access to the Internet (our number one source of information today), only one in six Americans could identify what exactly the Internet actually is. The study suggested that even knowledge of “science” in general was hard to come by: Only 21 percent of Americans surveyed could explain the basics of the scientific method, and only about 30 percent knew the process of conducting an experiment.

Why does all this matter?

It matters because Americans are facing vital decisions in the field of science and technology with both their voices and their votes. If 48 percent of Americans don’t know what a stem cell is, how can we hope to address stem cell research, a highly controversial — and increasingly important — is-

sue in today’s society?

And how are we to take action against climate change if the majority of Americans aren’t aware that human activity is its numberone cause (despite the fact that 97 percent of scientists agree on anthropogenic causes).

The reports above highlight the clear communication gap between the scientific community and the American public, and sure, it’s important to hold our schools to higher standards in the fields of science, math and information technology. But a more immediate solution is simple: We need astute science journalists. And we need them now.

The duty of a science journalist is to bridge the gap between scientific professionals and everyday people, who have little or no understanding of current science.

A science journalist is extremely specialized in his or her field, and rightly so, as it is his or her task, according to the Media for Science Forum, to be “the translator … someone with a well-practiced grasp of language … who is smart enough to not only understand the concepts and write about them for a lay audience, but also to ask the right questions.”

But today’s science journalists are the first being cut from the payroll with the decline of for-profit journalism and print media; this means that it’s up to general interest journalists to cover the most technical issues in science and

relay complex information with the potential to influence public opinion, no matter how factually accurate it is. In fact, in the past 20 years, with our country’s diminishing population of science journalists, 21 percent of our nation’s scientists identify education through public communication as a “significant failure.”

The need for specialized, dedicated science journalists is increasingly important, because as crucial issues present themselves — from the promise of an AIDS-free generation, to stem cell research — we need to be armed with knowledge. An understanding of scientific issues has become crucial in the participation of today’s politics – and it drives the economy of both industrialized and developing economies. The time has come for decisions to be made on scientific issues from cloning to climate change, and if people aren’t able to understand the basics, they will make the wrong decisions. Without educators and science journalists communicating scientific information to the American public both accurately and clearly, we may soon be making policy changes in blind ignorance — with both our livelihoods and lives at stake.

Politics

Sequester is unnecessary crisis A nother week passes, and again, Congress makes another irrational decision concerning the future of our economy. This time, it’s the sequester, quite possibly one of the dumbest policy decisions made by our representatives. I certainly agree with President Barack Obama when he says the sequester is an unnecessary self-inflicted wound.

Sen. Rand Paul, however, asserts that Obama has no ground for complaint, as he was in fact the one who proposed the sequester. But this shies away from the facts of the debt-ceiling crisis of 2011. While it is true that Obama proposed the idea of sequestration, the plan was forged in order to force Congress, and more specifically the House Republicans, into negotiating a deal on the debt ceiling.

Obama buckled, and for that he does share a portion of the blame for the sequester, but the blame game has never gotten anyone anywhere (well, at least outside of modern politics). Right now, it shouldn’t matter who proposed the idea and for what reasons — it’s a bad idea, and no deal was made to stop it.

This entire debacle is merely a fabricated crisis, created by the debt and deficit hawks who circle the policymakers above, stymieing our attempts at tackling the real issue in our economy — unemployment.

Besides, sequester will have little effect on shrinking our deficit, while at the same time it could drastically harm our economy. It will hardly appease the hawks, especially ones of the General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

debt would be a real problem if the people who purchase our debt lose confidence in our ability to pay it back and, consequently, interest rates skyrocket. Yet, as of now, our interest rates are at historic lows.

While in the long run the escalation of our debt to risky levels is largely dangerous for the economy, more attention must be paid to our current unemployment situation. As long as debt grows slower than our tax base, we should be fine, but if our tax base diminishes, because of silly plans such as the sequester, the economy will never recover.

As I’ve pointed out, tackling unemployment is much more of an imperative, and it could help to alleviate our long-term debt problems with increased tax revenue. The sequester dilemma that we’re in right now runs counter to our understanding of macroeconomic policies.

By Michael.Glawe @iowastatedaily.com likes of Rand Paul. Even worse, as recent projections have shown, the sequester will likely cost us 700,000 jobs by the end of 2014.

The fact of the matter is that our debt is at a lower percentage of GDP than it was during World War II. In addition, two-thirds of the debt we owe is to ourselves.

Even the debt we owe to foreign nations is insignificant, given the fact that every dollar we owe in foreign debt is backed by around 89 cents of debt owed to us by foreign countries.

Take notes from young pro: Daily shower is perfect setting follow dreams, blaze trails for finding creative solutions

O

livia Bee is not your average teenager.

At age 18, she is financially independent and living in Brooklyn, N.Y. ,away from her home in Portland, Ore. Bee’s hallmark is shooting dreamy ‘70s-inspired photographs of her life. Her personality screams out of her photos in a brilliant way. So brilliant in fact, that The New York Times has published her; Subaru, Nike and Fiat have commissioned her; and she has been asked to shoot covers of books for four publishers.

It seems Bee has become a successful photographer because she doesn’t let others tell her how to shoot her photos. This helps Bee set herself apart from the millions of other photographers who dream to live a life like hers. If you follow all of the rules and apply all the things you have learned directly to your work, your work is sure to be good, but not sure to get you very far. Greatness is what gets people places, and to be great, you have to set yourself apart by doing something different from everyone else.

For example, Bee often does not even observe the rule of thirds, as any photography school would teach her. The rule of thirds states that composing off-center make photos more interesting. She leaves her subjects in the dead center of her photos, which gives a distinct feel to her photos.

Perhaps this is because she chose not to continue her education after high school

the economy is strong again, we boost tax revenues, and save money for the next drop in the business cycle.

Accomplishing this task will require our government to spend money to boost aggregate demand. While it sounds counterintuitive, it actually works. But the debt hawks insist that we must cut our way to fiscal prosperity. Leave

We must induce demand.

By inducing demand, businesses will require more workers to satisfy production needs. Because of this, the newly employed will have more money to spend on other businesses. Unemployment consequently decreases. Once unemployment decreases, and

after she didn’t get into the only college she applied to: Cooper Union in Manhattan.

From there she decided to begin her career as a full-time photographer. She later said in her blog that “I didn’t want to go to photo school, because I didn’t want to change the way I saw my work.”

Olivia Bee is obviously very self-assured, but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It seems to be working for her. In fact, she didn’t’ go to big-time companies looking for workthey came to her. She was first discovered by Converse’s ad agency, VSA Partners, when they came across her Flicker account. VSA Partners “Kept emailing me saying they wanted to work with me. I thought it was spam — I didn’t know what an ad agency was, let alone VSA Partners,” said Bee, who was 15 at the time.

The series of opportunities that have been presented to Bee are incredible to hear about. All she had to do was be herself, and companies like Nike started bending over backwards for her to work with them. This is a point photographers work their whole lives to reach. In fact, these jobs usually go to 50-year-old men. This sparks some jealousy amongst pro photographers in such a competitive field. When asked by The Guardian how other professionals reacted to her getting the job, she says, “When I got

the Fiat 500 campaign, a lot of men were very angry because a girl who had just turned 17 got that job, and they didn’t.

When I turned 18, it was a little less of a problem — I was then a very young adult. But often people think I’m a PA or a very small model.”

“I’m an assertive person, and I know what I want. And I’m going to get what I want if I can. I know how to do that,” said Bee when asked by The Guardian about what her secret to success is. This attitude has gotten Bee very far, and I think there is something to be learned from this.

You won’t find success like Bee’s unless you figure out what you really love to do.

Something you think about all the time and something you know that you’re really good at. YouTube sensations such as Wheezy Waiter or Syndicate Project get millions of views because it is evident that they love what they’re doing. There’s a shine about these kinds of people that is very attractive to their evergrowing audiences. It’s not about how much time you put in, but how passionate you are about it. The time commitments and hard work required to achieve a goal don’t necessarily have to be hard for you — it’s best to keep the goal in sight and just keep doing what you love.

ave you ever thought about where you get creative? Is it in the shower?

When you’re lying in bed trying to fall asleep? When you’re sitting at a coffee shop staring out the window? For most, creativity seems to come out of the blue.

For me, creativity happens in the shower, and I discovered that there is actually a scientific reason for this. Melodie Pinola, an editor for lifehacker.com ,writes about this creative phenomenon in her article “Science Explains Why Our Best Ideas Come in the Shower.”

Creativity can be an abstract idea and seemingly vague. At times it can seem daunting, and it is something we struggle to find. But science tells us that creativity is in fact triggered by several specific conditions.

Pinola, the author of the article above, refers to Leo Widrich, who explains the science of creativity on his blog.

Pinola summarizes that creativity is influenced by the following three factors: dopamine, relaxation and distraction. Creativity requires dopamine, which is a chemical in the brain. Pinola says that, “Triggers like exercising, listening to music, and, yes, taking a warm shower, contribute to increased dopamine flow.”

She then goes onto discuss relaxation.

Creativity requires a relaxed state of being because we need to be able to “ ... turn attention inwards and make insightful connections.”

This means that being slightly drunk or sleepy are even recommended for being creative.

This surprised me — I usually associate being drunk or sleepy with having little focus.

But when you think about it, it makes sense; being relaxed lets our brains rest and put forth that energy into creativity. This may be subconscious, but when you can capture these moments it can be extremely valuable.

Lastly, Pinola explains that you need to be somewhat distracted in order to be creative.

This “ ... gives our brains a break so our subconscious can work on a problem more creatively.” If you want to explore more research about these factors, check out the links Pinola provides in her article online.

By Kristen.Daily @iowastatedaily.com solution to a problem requiring a creative solution. The shower, listening to music, running, or other similar tasks all help you release dopamine, be relaxed, and be distracted, which apparently are the three key ingredients for a creative brain.

And if you, like me, find that the shower is your best place for creativity, I recommend what Pinola suggests — Aqua Notes. The most important thing to remember is how vital is to capture these bursts of creativity when they hit you. Jotting down your notes or ideas like this can help you approach and solve your problem at a later time.

Another interesting article on optimizing creativity that Pinola recommends is “How to Find Your Creative Sweet Spot.” This article explains a number of studies and methods that have been researched on how to find your “creative sweet spot.” This involves learning more about what affects the creative process and then taking that information and applying it to your daily schedule, so that you may utilize your creative powers to their fullest.

Personally, I can say that I am need of some serious creativity boosts during the next week with midterms looming. I have plenty of papers to write and projects to manage that require plenty of creativity. And I am happy to say that learning that relaxation and distraction are welcome for the creative process. So slow down and take some time to simply be and think. Don’t worry about solving your issues immediately; I’m sure that with the right setting and state of mind, the creative solutions you need will find you.

Softball:

Players return to home state for tourney The ISU softball team has six players from California, where it travels this weekend to play at the Fresno State Classic.

Those five teams include two top-10 teams and a top-25 team, but the Cyclones (9-6) may have advantages being close to home.

“I think [there is more motivation] because all of the girls ... grew up playing together,” said Liana Henry of Livermore, Calif.

“It just gets more competitive when you know each other.”

Iowa State may need extra motivation against Fresno State (13-10), San Diego State (10-9) and the Pac-12 teams including No. 23 Oregon State (17-4), No. 8 Oregon (19-3) and No. 6 California (15-2).

The Cyclones will get only one chance against each team compared to usually playing teams multiple times in a weekend.

Lexi Slater said, “When they perform at a high level, it makes you perform at a higher level.”

ISU coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler believes the competition will help the players prepare for Big 12 games. Those benefits add to the overall team morale that boosts from going west.

“We always try to go play in places where we have players from,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.

“I think they enjoy it and their families and friends enjoy it, so it should be fun.”

Though they play multiple nationally ranked teams, the team’s confidence still goes strong.

“Win: that’s our mindset,” Slater said.

Seniors step up for win Cyclones end regular season with big victory against rival Cowboys

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com When it mattered most, it was the seniors that stepped up in their final game at Hilton Coliseum.

After coming back to take the lead following No. 13 Oklahoma State’s 6-0 run to start the game, Iowa State never again trailed in the final 36 minutes.

But when the Cowboys (22-7, 12-5 Big 12) moved within two points of the Cyclones (20-10, 10-7), the ISU seniors responded.

“It was very special for us,” said ISU guard Chris Babb of the seniors capping off the victory. “We knew at some point they were going to make their run and being leaders and being seniors we knew we had to come together and get stops.”

Leading 70-68 with 4:28 remaining in the game and Oklahoma State charging back, ISU guard Will Clyburn hit a big 3-pointer. That shot broke the ISU single-season record since that basket was No. 294 for the Cyclones as a team and started an 8-0 run that would lift Iowa State to an 87-76 resume-building win.

“He stepped up and shot that huge 3 there when they cut it to two [points],” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg of Clyburn. “I heard a guy behind me yell ‘Why?’ and then it went in. We all cheered.”

The pass also came from a senior as guard Korie Lucious dished it to Clyburn for one of his six assists. The Cyclones had 21 assists overall on 27 made baskets.

“I don’t know who it was that found me,” Clyburn said as Lucious raised his hand to tell him. “I just wanted to stay aggressive and try and make a play.”

The win came following back-toback Big 12 losses for the Cyclones that put them on the NCAA tournament bubble.

After losing to Oklahoma by 17 last Saturday in their worst loss of the season, ISU players held a team meeting in the days leading up to senior night Wednesday.

The meeting was simple, the Cyclones wanted to make sure they left everything on the court in the final game.

“We had a long talk just as players, we just let everything out. I think that was the turning point so far,” Babb said. “We just came together and knew we had to finish out the season strong. We’ve come too far and worked too hard. We’ve all sat out and been through everything together.”

Seniors weren’t the only contributors in the team’s victory.

Freshman Georges Niang scored 18 points while junior Melvin Ejim added 13 points and 12 rebounds.

With the game hanging in the balance, though, it was the seniors who finished, and the seniors who were able to enjoy walking off the court at Hilton to Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” playing above them one last time.

“All our seniors had huge impacts on this win tonight,” Hoiberg said.

“What they’ve been doing for this

Tournament relocation disappoints

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com

Sports Jargon:

Counter SPORT: Wrestling DEFINITION: An offensive attack immediately executed after defending an opposing attack to expose the vulnerability of the attacking opponent.

USE: Tanner Weatherman notched a takedown utilizing his counter offense.

File photo: Adam Ring/Iowa State Daily The women’s head basketball coach, Bill Fennelly, speaks with the media Oct. 3, 2012, at the Sukup Basketball Complex. Fennelly expressed disappointment with the Big 12’s tournament relocation.

As Iowa State plans its travel to the Big 12 tournament this week, it will have to go a bit farther south than it has in the past three seasons.

After spending the previous three seasons playing in the Big 12 tournament at Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo., the Cyclones and the rest of the Big 12 will instead travel to American Airlines Center in Dallas for the 2013 tournament.

ISU coach Bill Fennelly, who has been vocal in his opposition from moving the tournament away from Kansas City, feels that while it is certainly disappointing for him, it is also disappointing for ISU fans.

“I’ve never understood when things are going really well and people really like it, why you change it,” Fennelly said. “I thought it was a great thing the way it was for everyone. It was a great event and I’m sure it will be a great event in Dallas. I know they’re working really hard and it will be fun but for me personally and Iowa State people, there’s something missing and something different.”

This isn’t the first time the women’s Big 12 tournament has been moved, however.

Weatherman, Beard fine-tune tactics for Big 12s

By Dan.Cole @iowastatedaily.com It has been a season of improvement and progression for the ISU wrestling team, and among the most progressive has been redshirt freshman Tanner Weatherman.

Currently ranked No. 20 at 174 pounds by InterMat, Weatherman is 15-5 — having picked up bonus-point victories in his last three matches — this season after posting a 12-3 record while competing unattached in his redshirt season.

Weatherman was named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week on Feb. 11, making him the only freshman to earn the honor this season.

Weatherman credits his consistent success of late to his match strategy.

“I feel like my match plan has been really good,” Weatherman said. “Travis Paulson’s kind of been overseeing me, really focusing on a couple areas, just staying to the game plan: Stay on my offense, going for the win first and then go after bonus [points].”

One of the reasons Weatherman has been able to stay hot this season is due to help from his training partner and roommate, Boaz Beard.

The two are right next to each other in weight as Beard wrestles at 184 pounds, which allows for a lot of time together in the wrestling room. Most of their individual workouts are together.

This weekend, the duo travels to Stillwater, Okla. with the Cyclones in hopes of being crowned Big 12 champions and moving on to nationals in two weeks.

“It’s an exciting time of year,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson.

“Everything else up until now has been practice, but right now it’s time to see what we’re all about and really put all that practice into effect on Friday and Saturday.”

Although this is Weatherman’s first time at the Big 12 Championships, Beard likes his roommate’s chances of handling the pressure and making it to the NCAAs. “He wants to upset [Chris] Perry,” Beard said. “That’s what he’s got his sights on, and I think Kansas City once a year in Municipal Auditorium, which is a place she enjoyed visiting growing up.

“I think I loved it more just because I’ve been there so much when I was younger, watching the games and then being able to drive across the street and go to the Sprint Center and watch the men’s games was even more fun,” Williamson said.

She said, “It’s going to be a different feeling going to Dallas for a week.”

Perry, the 174-pounder for Oklahoma State, is currently ranked No. 2. He and Weatherman faced off when the Cowboys were in Ames on Feb. 3 and Perry held on for a 3-0 victory.

As for his own chances, Beard plans on fine-tuning some things before this weekend in order to give himself more confidence on the mat. While he’s been wrestling well as of late, he knows there are improvements to be made — namely in the area of his counter offense.

thing Fennelly, as well as the fans, will miss.

“Some of the greatest moments I’ve had at Iowa State weren’t just with our team but watching what the men were doing and the time we spent together in the hotel and watching them play,” Fennelly said. “That’s something I’m really, really going to miss.

Everything in college sports changes and some things you don’t like. I guess I’m a traditionalist.

John Primer will begin playing at 9 p.m. on Friday.

Since John Primer was very young, he knew he wanted to play guitar.

When he began to learn how to play it, the feeling of affection grew.

“It felt good; I’d always wanted to play guitar ever since I was a little kid,” Primer said. “Even when I was younger than [8], at 2 or 3 years old, I always wanted a guitar. Then a cousin of mine got one, and I would mess around with his and learned how to play on his guitar.”

Primer reminisced about how he learned the blues from people traveling through.

Indira Sheumaker, an open option freshman, has been cast as the little sister of the main character in the ISU Theatre’s production of “The Three Musketeers.” Theater is a passion of hers and she is looking forward to performing in another upcoming play, One Acts.

Is this your first production here at Iowa State?

This is my first college theater experience. It is so fun and I’ve had the best time. I’m so glad I did this.

What do you want to do next in theater?

Do you have your eye on any particular role?

I want to do One Acts. I know Kivan [Kirk] and Venetia are doing a project that I’ve been considering doing. It’s a workshop; Venetia wrote some plays and she’s working on getting some directors and actors together. I definitely want to do One Acts.

Would you major in theatre?

I’m an open option student, and I have been looking at performing arts major or maybe a minor.

What are your future plans as far as acting goes?

I think it would be really cool to work in television.

Not necessarily acting, but I want to write a television show or be a writer for a show and possibly look at play writing.

Game: ‘TES V: Skyrim: Dragonborn’

Movie: ‘The Last Exorcism Part II’

By Maggie McGinity

By Levi Castle

By Nick Hamden

I don’t like country music. But surprisingly, I like country star Tim McGraw’s new album, “Two Lanes of Freedom.”

On “Freedom,” McGraw starts out singing songs of summer. Title track “Two Lanes of Freedom” has themes of driving around and romance: “God made old country roads for driving and dreaming,/Mine’s coming true girl, here with you, on two lanes of freedom.”

I don’t like “Truck Yeah,” a rocking song which claims to be “a little too country.” I want to dislike “Mexicoma,” but the chorus is infectious.

“Freedom” keeps a theme of driving throughout. It wraps up with song within a song “Highway Don’t Care (feat. Taylor Swift & Keith Urban),” reminding the listener, “The highway don’t care/But I do.”

With “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” being my second-favorite video game of all time, I had high hopes for the new “Dragonborn addition.

The premise is that another dragonborn, Miraak, has surfaced and is trying to corrupt the island of Solstheim with the help of an evil prince. You are tasked with eliminating him.

The island is depressing-looking. It’s no wonder it’s separated from Skyrim; it looks nothing like the original. This is good and bad, as it sets the right tone but makes everything look bland.

Miraak is supposed to be all-evil and it is intended for you to hate his guts, but the game doesn’t pull this off. Due to his infrequent appearances and his lack of visible corruption on the island, Miraak seemed like a boring antagonist.

Great news for those of you who like great sequels to decent horror flicks: You can save your money, because the next great horror sequel has not yet been released.

Not only does Part II completely change the way the film is set up, it also ignores the plot from the previous film. Instead of answering the questions from the first, Part II decides to bring in a different confusing plot line and refuses to answer a new batch of questions.

Part II is also almost entirely jump scares, the lowest form of horror. “But the exorcism is the important part!” Unfortunately, the exorcism by the end is not only rushed, but not your standard exorcism.

It is a cash grab that only shares a character with its predecessor, not its heart.

A similar raw feeling is what propels indie group ON AN ON’s vocalist and guitarist, Nate Eiesland, on stage. ON AN ON will begin playing at 9 p.m. on Saturday.

Eiesland was struck with inspiration when he was given a special cassette on a family trip to northern Michigan.

“On the whole drive, my friend had this tape and it was Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind.’ And I just wore it out,” Eiesland said. “Totally wore the tape out. I just listened to it over and over, and that was an influential

bly be able to do, as the product is likely to be developed more and more every day, much like the Google Goggles and Google Now services.

Google is staying tightlipped about the product, as it has not been revealed what the retail version will look or cost like.

The rumors so far, however, are suggesting loads of features that may very well be the real deal.

Glass is rumored to run Android, Google’s successful mobile operating system. With so many of Glass’s features dependent on the Internet, a 3G or 4G connection is to be expected.

Glass may also be able to connect to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and may always have a connection with the Cloud.

A feature called “bone induction” is rumored as well.

This technology, while not exactly new, isn’t very common today.

What it does is send vibrations to the user’s skull that their ears can pick up on, eliminating the need for Glass to have an earpiece. The frontfacing camera is said to have a flash.

Many people are on the fence about products like Glass, saying that it’s just another way for advertisements to force their way into people’s lives, or for businesses to learn even more about their users.

Until Google reveals more about what it intends to do for Glass, and how it plans to support it, anything is possible.

Perhaps they will require a monthly subscription fee, or maybe consumers can opt out of a subscription at the cost of an advertisement every now and again.

Glass’s release date was moved from 2014 to late this year as the company is ahead of schedule on testing and design.

A recent application has just been closed that allowed people to register in an attempt to test Glass out, and others had the option of paying $1,500 to preorder the new Google Glass.

Expect more information later in the year as Google unveils more about Glass leading up to its launch.

said.

“There was a lot more energy in those takes.”

Eisland said depth is what ON AN ON strive for musically, from the guitar tone to the lyrics. Eiesland also commented that a balance must be achieved as well.

“Sometimes it’s an interesting balance because you have to also decide how understood you want to be as a songwriter,” Eiesland said.

“Do you want it to be unmistakable? Do you want it to be open ended? There is a huge gray area as to how you put lyrics together. … I think that is one of the last frontiers of songwriting.”

workday.

All throughout the video, we see what a Glass user would see: an interactive, augmented-reality information box in the upper-right of the vision field that displays info on anything the user is and is not doing.

A recent ISU music education and computer engineering graduate who has had experience with virtual reality and is now a Software Development Engineer for a major tech company gave his thoughts about Google Glass and the future of wireless connectivity.

“I think it is a great idea, and wasn’t entirely surprised.

Every video game in which you take someone’s point-of-view already has a HUD (heads-up display). Why not real life? It is a fairly logical step. We’re already carrying around most of the technology; this is just a different method of presentation,” he said.

He went on to say that he, like many others, has a phone, tablet, laptop, etc.

“But those are all things that I get out and use,” he said.

“Glass [as the name implies] is transparent in more than just its physical sense,” he said. “It is about augmenting what I’m already doing, rather than about providing a platform with which to do something.”

Glass is like a smartphone, but wearable and always active.

The term that’s been used to describe this type of technology is called “wearable computing,” and Google is hoping to make it the next big thing in human-device connectivity.

Glass is all about the builtin camera and the small display in front of the eye. The lens is how Glass connects to the user’s world, seeing what the user sees and telling them what they would like to know about it.

Glass’s use of Google’s databases provides many opportunities to learn more about the world around the user, as well as record the memories they care about.

The video is just the beginning of what Glass will proba-

point for me.”

Not only did the music of Nirvana’s “Nevermind” strike a nerve with Eiesland, its presentation did as well.

“There was such a connected sincerity and honesty that I had never heard before,” Eiesland said.

ON AN ON’s first studio album, “Give In,” was released earlier this year, and its recording took a different approach when the band began to develop their sound.

“The sound was more determined with what we were interested in capturing, which turned out to be [a] more flawed, less confident [sound],” Eiesland
