Block & Bridle:
Food court helps fund Horse Show By Randi Reeder Daily staff writer Block and Bridle Club will be having a fundraiser Thursday from 3:30 to 7 p.m. for the club’s annual Horse Show on April 20 to 22. “People can come to the [Memorial Union] and eat at the food court, and a portion of those proceeds go toward our show at no extra cost to them,” said Allyson Parman, sophomore in agricultural studies and cochairwoman for the Horse Show. Students and diners may use their normal methods of payment. All stations in the food court except for Panda Express and Subway will participate, with a part of their sales going toward the proceeds. The Block and Bridle Horse Show is the nation’s largest student run and sanctioned horse show. Because of this, it takes a lot of money and involves a lot of time and effort in order for it be successful. “Our fundraiser is raising money so we can help out the show financially,” Parman said. “The show has been around for just under 70 years, and it is a three day show with a combination of American Quarter Horse Association, 4-H and open classes,” said Ashley Ellensohn, freshman in animal science and Block and co-chairwoman for the Horse Show. Each day of the Horse Show is a separate event. The three categories are Quarter Horse, Open and 4-H. This is the 68th year that the Block and Bridle club has been organizing and putting on the horse show. This year it will take place in the Jacobson Center at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. When: Thursday, March 8 Time: 3:30-7 Where: MU Food Court
Heading into spring break, many students will be enjoying a week of leisure and fun with friends. The activities of some may leave them with more consequences than memories. For readers of the police blotter, the names listed may only stick for a few minutes before leaving the memory. However, for those names listed in the blotter, the memory is there to

Iowa DOT also states that if one violates the state regulations, they are “to have a blood, breath and/or urine test performed to determine alcohol level or presence of drug, whenever a peace officer has reasonable grounds to believe the person is operating under the influence.” The jail time, losing their license and fines are some of the costly consequences drivers may receive. While in college, students are enrolled to receive degrees. However, it is also the norm for some students to go out on Welch Avenue or to house parties over the weekend.

Play garners national awards By Michael Still Ames247 Writer Almost a year after its opening night, ISU Theatre’s production of “Six Characters” is still being celebrated. “Six Characters” recently received multiple awards from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, recognizing the nationally outstanding work of Iowa State’s theater department. “It was the first thing the students and I made here at Iowa State,” said Matt Foss, director of “Six Characters” and lecturer of theater and music. “It was a very collaborative process.” ISU Theatre’s version of “Six Characters” is based off Luigi Pirandello’s original play. The story follows a theater company that is rehearsing for an upcoming production, and the commotion that ensues when six strangers wander into rehearsal one day. These six strangers are soon found to be unfinished characters in search of an author to finish their story, so the director and ensemble agree to help as best as they can. When the show opened in March 2011 and a festival respondent saw the work and talent the ensemble put into the production, it was chosen to be performed at the regional festival last January. “The craziest part was getting it back up on its feet in just a few days before the festival after not touching it for a little under a

The space between Howe Hall and the Design Building is home to Biorenewables Research Laboratory, which has stood alone for a long time. ISU students and faculty will return from spring break to find fences roping off the future site of Sukup Hall and Atrium and Elings Hall. Biorenewables will also undergo construction in order to be linked to Sukup Hall via Sukup Atrium. The collective name of current building and the new additions will be called
the Biorenewables Complex. The plans of the complex have been in the works since 2006. The Biorenewables Complex will be the new home to the agricultural and biosystems engineering department. The department currently is spread out among four buildings — Davidson Hall, the National Swine and Research Information Center, Advanced Machinery Systems Lab, and Industrial Education II. The Biorenewables Complex will give the department a more centralized home with state of the art classrooms and a 150-person lecture hall. “Ag engineering is fortunate in that we’re at the intersection of some pretty important things in the state,” said Jay Harmon, professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering. “Agriculture, engineering and agri-
cultural production, of course, is huge in Iowa.” Harmon believes the importance of agricultural and biosystems engineering in relationship to both the rural and urban aspects of Iowa as one of the reasons why his department is being granted new buildings in addition to other reasons. Since the conception of the Biorenewables Complex, Harmon has described himself as a liaison between the architects of the project and the department. Davidson Hall, the current headquarters of agricultural and biosystems engineering, is to be demolished sometime after the completion and migration to Biorenewables Complex. With the hall named for

Tim Tebow shoots down ‘Bachelor’ rumors It looks like we will not get to see Tim Tebow chastely dating on TV after all: the NFL quarterback has tweeted that the rumors about him possibly being on “The Bachelor” are nothing more than that. “Haha rumors can be crazy! Even though I’ve watched the show before, I’m definitely not gonna be on the ‘Bachelor,’” he
posted Tuesday. The chatter started earlier this week after “Bachelor” host Chris Harrison dropped hints on “Access Hollywood Live.” “I think he’d be a great ‘Bachelor,’” Harrison said Monday, adding that he’d met with Tebow to discuss it. “He did say yes ... but he would never do it. He has a little job called quarterback at least for another year.”

The planned private memorial service for Davy Jones will not have his fellow Monkees in attendance, a rep for the deceased star tells CNN. “The Florida funeral service for Davy is a private family one, and Micky [Dolenz], Peter [Tork] and Mike [Nesmith] will not be attending out of respect for the family’s need for privacy,” Jones’ rep said in a statement. Dolenz has told Billboard that he respects the family’s desire for privacy, saying that having the band in attendance could disrupt that.

Yep, Snooki’s pregnant — and engaged The rumors are now confirmed: Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is indeed pregnant, and she is also engaged to her boyfriend, Jionni LaValle. Her rep tells CNN, “Nicole is thrilled to finally be able to share her happy news with her fans.” Snooki, 24, tells Us Weekly that she is 15 weeks along, having found out about the pregnancy after the New Year’s holiday. The reality star admits to the magazine that her initial thought when she learned the news was “’s- - -, I’ve been drinking!’ I was worried. It was New Year’s Eve, and we were in Vegas, so I did go crazy.”

The teen star left the Jonas Brothers tour in 2010 to seek help, and she recalls in the MTV documentary “Stay Strong,” which aired Tuesday on the network, that she “was not eating, and purging, and selfharming. It was really difficult to be able to stop. ... I had so many issues underneath that needed to be taken care of, and we just kept putting Band-Aids over it. It literally ended up driving me insane.” But that was what she faced in private — to the public, she was one of Disney’s talented stars, and a potential role model. “When I first started in the industry, I was with Disney Channel and everyone just kind of made me a role model, and I hated that. I was partying, I was self-medicating, and I was like, you don’t know what I’m suffering with, you don’t know what I’m dealing with, why would you want your kids to be like me? ... I felt like I was living a lie.” Her parents intervened to help her get the treatment she needed, and in January of 2011, Lovato returned home.

Students skip beach for Bookstore looks into apparel by sweatshop-free Alta Gracia alternative Spring Break By Tiffany.Westrom @iowastatedaily.com
By Kayla.Kienzle @iowastatedaily.com Swimsuits, beaches, sand, sun and relaxation are what most Iowa State students think of when Spring Break rolls around. However, for students who take alternative Spring Breaks, the week away from Iowa State offers a more diverse environment. According to the Alternative Breaks website, “The objectives of an Alternative Break program are to involve college students in service projects and to give students opportunities to learn about the problems faced by members of communities with whom they otherwise have had little or no direct contact.” There are eight critical components that spring break service trips focus on. Strong direct service, diversity, orientation, education, training, reflection, reorientation and abstaining from alcohol and drugs are all pillars. The breaks are in different communities in the United States, but each community has a different issue. Callie Bucha, junior in industrial engineering, left for the Horizon House in Indianapolis last year. She learned about the trip through Greek Affairs and thought it was the perfect opportunity for community service with other Greeks. The Horizon House is a multi-service day center that empowers 1,500 homeless neighbors in the Indianapolis community. Although she had weekly meetings to prepare for the trip, Bucha was still surprised at the reaction of the homeless when she came to help. “They couldn’t believe anyone would choose to come and spend time with

them and hear their stories,” Bucha said. During the trip, Bucha and her group provided food and service for the homeless shelter and other shelters part of Horizon House. At the homeless shelter, Bucha learned more than just community service. “Many of the people we talked to at the Horizon Home had college degrees so they were once just like us and one circumstance led them to poverty,” Bucha said. Each site offers something new for those participating in alternative Spring Breaks. In Eagle Butte, S.D., students work with the Cheyenne Youth River Project, which supports struggling children and their families. The project has created after school programs and other family services. Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City, Mo., helps children living in poverty by providing them with a safe loving and educational environment. Volunteers at Cranks Creek Survival Center in the Kentucky Appalachians help fix homes by painting, building floors and completing other tasks. In Cincinnati, the Greater Cincinnati Coalition
for the homeless helps to empower homeless in the community. The group in Indianapolis last year decided to keep a blog about their adventures. For many, interacting with homeless was a new experience. However, the group decided to call them neighbors, focusing on the fact they all had similarities. The shelter was also unlike shelters others were used to. “Horizon House is unlike any shelter I have been in before. Rather than just handing out free tokens, Horizon [House] focused on empowering people and giving them the tools they need to get back on their feet,” said Clayton Long, junior in kinesiology and health. Students on the alternative break also realized things in their own lives they had taken for granted. “Most of them were able to fit all their belongings in a small bin, which was kept in a storage room of the Horizon House,” Long said in the blog. “These small necessitates, which we all take for granted, are major obstacles in some people’s everyday lives. It was definitely an eye-opener for me.”
The college students who adorn a bookstore uniform to face their “penniless” customers each day enjoy a minimum wage of $7.25. This is over eight times the minimum wage in the Dominican Republic where their peers work 10 hour days to produce some of the clothing items that are sold in the bookstore. “Having that kind of labor and work in the economy is not healthy,” said Phillip Sears, sophomore in English. “And if we were to do that in America, it would not stand.” Alta Gracia is an experimental brand made by Knights Apparel, the leading college apparel producer in the United States. The New York Times reported that after Chief Operation Officer Joseph Bozich was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, he decided to change the way he did business and make a sustainable impact on the company’s workers in an area where they have few options. As of 2010, Alta Gracia is the first apparel manufacturer in the Dominican Republic that pays their employees a living wage of $2.83, which is almost three and half times the country’s minimum wage of 84 cents and is enough money to provide an individual and their family with food, clean water, shelter, the possibility of education and health insurance. Over 450 colleges and universities in the United States have already welcomed Alta Gracia apparel. University Bookstore began carrying Alta Gracia T-shirts and hooded sweatshirts last June, but are currently sold out. “I think the cause behind it is great,” said Amy Delashmutt, program coordinator for the bookstore. “We are owned and
operated by Iowa State, so we have a responsibility to the community to make sure those dollars are spent wisely.” One group, Iowa State Students Against Sweatshops, is working to get Alta Gracia clothes back on the racks at University Bookstore. The group has started a petition to ask the bookstore to purchase $250,000 worth of the sweatshop-free apparel and make a commitment to endorsing the company’s ethical labor practices. “It is really unfortunate that we live in a society where sweatshops are either swept under the rug or people don’t really care,” said Andrew Stanzyk, senior in global resource systems and grou member. “This can change through awareness and action, and we can successfully get socially responsible clothing on our campus.” The bookstore will meet with members of Students
Against Sweatshops Friday at 3 p.m. on the ground floor of the Memorial Union to discuss the petition. University Bookstore could potentially have trouble affording and storing $250,000 worth of clothing, but the bookstore has not made any decisions in regards to the purchasing of Alta Gracia apparel at this point. Alta Gracia believes if the fair treatment of factory workers can be proven as a good business model, others in the apparel industry might change their conventional labor standards. Anastasia Prokos, associate professor of sociology, agrees that with world trade practices already in place, the countries must now look to apply kinds of work that will be equitable. “The question is how do we work with these global connections to make the best possible outcome for everyone,” Prokos said.
The Impact of Retrotransposons on Human GenomeEvolution
Sigma Xi Lecture Mark Batzer was part of the international consortium of scientists who recently decoded the orangutan genome. His research focuses on understanding the genetic diversity of humans, in particular the study of mobile DNA elements. The inclusion or omission of these “jumping genes” can lead to genetic diseases in humans as well as the creation of new genes and gene families in the genome. Batzer is the System Boyd Professor and Dr. Mary Lou Applewhite Distinguished Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at Louisiana State University. He earned a PhD in genetics and zoology at LSU and completed his postdoctoral education at the Human Genome Center at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he subsequently worked as biomedical scientist.

>>ALCOHOL.p1 gives advice to students who have offenses on their record. “Employers do background searches,” she said. “It’s really the norm now.” If a student’s record is not clean, though, it should not be discouraging to apply for a job he or she may want. “Employers are looking for the students to reveal the information,” Wieland said. The issue of student records of alcohol offenses has been an ongoing battle. “Organizations are concerned with this issue, it is being consistently researched,” she said. The judgment one makes to get behind the wheel is one that will most likely stick with them for years. “Students need to be aware of the choices they make,” she said, “especially during their first and second year as students. It can affect them their junior and especially senior year when they’re looking for jobs.” Departments such as teacher education conduct background checks on many areas on application forms, citing if there has been a conviction of a crime other than speeding or a parking violation is asked.
Operating while intoxicated is not the only offense students could face. Public intoxication is another offense, and students under the age of 21 can receive possession of alcohol under the legal age, also referred to as a PAULA. “The judge determines the fine for public intoxication,” said Brad Baker, community resource officer for the Ames Police Department. “The unofficial standard in Story County is $200, but with court costs and all that, the total would be around $330.” After receiving a public intoxication, the individual stays at the Story County Jail until further notice. The OWI range can be a lot steeper, due to the offense, “but the fine range for a first offence can be $300 to $1,875 plus costs,” Baker said. Also, a PAULA can be expunged from records. According to the Code of Iowa 123.47 (7), “Upon the expiration of two years following conviction for a violation of subsection 2 or of a similar local ordinance, a person may petition the court to expunge the conviction, and if the person has had no other criminal convictions, other than local traffic violations or simple misdemeanor violations of chapter 321 during
the two-year period, the conviction shall be expunged as a matter of law.” The same can be done for those who face public intoxication charges. According to the Code of Iowa 123.46 (5), “Upon the expiration of two years following conviction for a violation of this section, a person may petition the court to exonerate the person of the conviction, and if the person has had no other criminal convictions, other than simple misdemeanor violations of chapter 321 during the two-year period, the person shall be deemed exonerated of the offense as a matter of law.” Although the possibility of erasing a PAULA or public intoxication is available, it is not the same for an OWI. Karen Ballard, assistant record manager for the Office of Driver Services, said the records of those with OWIs do not get erased for a while. “The OWI is set regardless if you have no other violations,” she said, “for a noncommercial driver it will stay on your record for 12 years, at the earliest.” The OWI does not magically disappear after 12 years, however. “It depends whether or not you take care of the requirements given to you from the OWI,” Ballard said.

Remember consequences of world war The week prior to Spring Break is almost finished and, just like every other year, the promise of a week without classes or responsibilities beckons with open arms. As we set our sights on leisure, however, we should not forget some matters are still very serious, namely, the increasing threat of a war against Iran. For over a week, President Barack Obama has been under fire from Congressional Republicans and candidates for president such as Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum because he prefers to keep diplomatic channels open in interactions with Iran and its most likely enemy, Israel. Since the Iranians are, according to intelligence speculations, approaching a time frame in which they could be able to develop a usable and deliverable nuclear weapon, that preference for diplomacy over a military strike seems, to Republicans, more untenable than ever. War is a serious thing. It should not be taken lightly. It kills lives, costs money and ruins countries. The business of war is death, not life. The War on Terror has cost the United States some $1.283 trillion and our military has suffered nearly 55,000 casualties over the past decade. We have had it lucky, though. Our countrymen have suffered those casualties discreetly; news reports may have invaded our homes every night for 10 years describing the young lives snuffed out prematurely, but compared to our overall population, they are small. Most of us have not had to adjust our lifestyles to adjust to veterans’ disabilities and witness their sufferings. Our taxes have not risen to pay for the war; instead we have hoisted the costs of maintaining ourselves into the future. World War II cost the United States more than 1 million casualties and roughly $4.1 trillion over four years. The herculean effort to defeat the fascist governments of Germany, Italy and Japan included an enormous home effort to support government and military operations. Domestically, the number of people paying income taxes increased to nearly everyone, price and wage controls controlled the economy, rationing limited home consumption of materials needed for the war effort. Everyone’s life was impacted. Contrast that with our world since 2001. Very few of us have given up anything related to the two wars in which we are involved. Setbacks to our increased standard of living and technological advancement come from falterings in the economy, not government rationing of goods the military needs to keep us all safe. We may not remember it, but war is a terrible thing. Military force is not the only solution to problems of national security. Editorial Board

Talk back, it’s a right Powers of free speech demand accountability
Q
uixotically have we tilted at the windmill of racism as of late. What one might call the recent “squinty scandal” has, in one way or another, uncovered what appears to have been a festering sore beneath the surface of the skin of Iowa State’s society. Civilization is but a thin veil, able to be pulled from our eyes by a multitude of events, such as a wayward and innocently intended comment, revealing the ugly truth lying underneath. Regardless of the fickle nature of civilization, as a civilized society we must endeavor to maintain that veil as long as possible with what artifices are at our disposal. It is not without great irony that one such artifice, and perhaps the most powerful of all, is the First Amendment. The various divisions within the Daily are rather disconnected and operate fairly independently from one another. As an opinion columnist, I have nothing to do with the “Just Sayin’” column or the final editing and production of the product that you this moment hold in your hands reading. I don’t even know who many of the students are who do those things. Curiously, however, I find myself at a bizarre intersection of the multitude of varied viewpoints on our scandal. We opinion writers had nothing to do with the “Just Sayin’,” but it is within our literary territory that the battle rages. No matter what your own opinion regarding the scandal may be, one need only to have paid the merest superficial attention to the Daily’s opinion section this past week to see these many viewpoints. Some of you think the Daily is the purveyor of racism. Others think we made an innocent indiscretion. Many called for the elimination of the “Just Sayin’” while many more simultaneously sent in new “Just Sayin’” in response. The
By Barry.Snell @iowastatedaily.com controversy bled over into the Daily’s opinion division too, with some students claiming our opinion columns to be the equal in iniquity to the allegedly racist “Just Sayin’.” Censorship in some form, including censoring the opinion section, was and still is the most often demanded solution. The First Amendment is that proverbial riddle wrapped in an enigma; the ultimate irony of ironies. What allows people to communicate and educate freely — a public freedom necessary to the function of a healthy republic — also allows elements of society with less savory views to openly disperse their radicalism. The First Amendment, therefore, is both the disease and the cure. It is the cure part that Americans seem to have forgotten in this debate. We view events through the lens of our private experiences, so in order to paint the bigger picture of how the world actually is, we must gather and speak and discuss issues rationally with others. We must read and write articles and columns and books. We must listen and learn and adjust our views, or work to adjust the views of others. You may not like what others say or write, but how would you even know there was a problem if they weren’t able or failed to make their opinions publicly known? The First Amendment is a two-way street. You have absolutely no right to not be offended, so suck it up and deal with it like an adult. But what you do have the right to do is fight back with free speech, free press and free assembly of your own. Hold those whose views you
disagree with accountable for their opinions. Have a discussion and make them defend their ideas. This is how facts are uncovered, after all. We cannot discover problems and therefore act to solve them if we kill our ability to interact with censorship. In a recent public meeting on racism, my editor defended the fact that our columns aren’t laced up and down with disclaimers that our opinions are our opinions, saying that such should be self-evident. The journalism school’s director, Michael Bugeja, criticized this, saying it wasn’t self-evident. With respect to Bugeja, that’s wrong. If the inch-tall letters saying “OPINION” at the top of this page isn’t clear enough, I’d be happy to provide a dictionary to anyone who doesn’t know what “opinion” means. Bugeja was absolutely correct, however, that the First Amendment requires accountability. To engage me in discussion, you first must know it was me whose ideas you read or heard. This is why we columnists print our names and email addresses on every column. How can you debate a public idea with an anonymous person after all? It is because of this anonymity that the “Just Sayin’” have been rightly removed, not because of complaints. The problem wasn’t truly what was said, but rather that we cannot speak to the author and question his thoughts. And this is why the opinion columns will continue to be published — hopefully, dear God — without any stupid, politically correct disclaimers. You can talk back to a columnist, but you can’t talk back to a “Just Sayin’.” The next time you encounter ideas you vehemently disagree with, don’t call for censorship. The solution to free speech problems is more free speech.

Gas hike not fault of Obama I
t’s not unusual for the public to blame the president for any and every problem facing the nation. Recently, President Barack Obama has been blamed for increasing gas prices over the course of his presidency. I saw something posted on Facebook blaming him just last week. It isn’t only on Facebook, either: The Republican Party issued a set of talking points that highlight gas prices as a criticism of Obama. Fox News, which at times acts as the mouthpiece of the GOP, even read directly off of it on Fox & Friends. Placing blame on Obama in this case is simply unjust. He has absolutely nothing to do with setting the price of gasoline. That is determined by the pricepoint of oil barrels, which is controlled via the companies that drill for the oil, as well as speculators and organizations such as Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. It’s a product of the free market, featuring supply and demand at its finest. If the supply decreases, the value of what is sold increases. That causes the price of gas to increase on our end. If the market is flooded by excess oil supplies, the cost falls. But I don’t recall hearing of any recent oil shortages. So what is it that is making the cost suddenly
By Craig.Long @iowastatedaily.com jump up? I remember barely a month ago when gas fell under $3 per gallon average in the state since February 2011. So why is it projected to go over $5 this summer? If the industry was suffering financially, I would understand the increase in cost. So I took a look at the profit margins from the fourth quarter of last year of some of the industry giants to see what kind of profits or losses they are posting. What I found quite frankly shocked me. BP saw a fourth quarter profit of $7.6 billion. Exxon Mobil saw a profit of $9.4 billion last quarter. Chevron netted $5.1 billion. Conoco comes in at $3.39 billion. Add the sum of the profits of just these four companies, and you get about $25.5 billion dollars. In one quarter, of one year. There is much more to these companies’ profit margins than simply the price of crude oil. I’m by no means saying oil companies
shouldn’t profit. But these companies are making money hand over fist. Looking at the 50 most profitable companies in 2011, Exxon is first and Chevron is third. Exxon actually profited 1.5 times the next closest company. Looking at the profit margins, it is unbelievable we still subsidize this industry via tax credits and grants for oil exploration. A bill in the Senate last year called for a cut of $20 billion that our government forgives or gives to the oil industry over ten years. That’s less than the profits the four companies above posted in the fourth quarter. You’d better believe that wouldn’t even come close to completely eliminating the subsidies, either. But it was still unacceptable to Senate Republicans, who voted nearly unanimously against the bill, causing it to fail. This industry is making some of the highest profits in the nation. Gas prices are projected to exceed $5 on average for the first time in U.S. history. And our government still subsidizes the industry? According to the Los Angeles Times, our subsidies of oil started in 1995. At that time, Exxon only had a $1.9 billion dollar profit margin for the year, a full 20 percent of their quarterly profit last year. It’s fairly obvious that these subsidies
are no longer needed. So what does all of this have to do with Obama? Well, nothing. And that’s the point. The subsidies, regulations and taxes are all determined by Congress. Currently, Congressional Republicans are pushing for environmentally risky projects such as drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and the Keystone XL pipeline across the central United States, claiming it is necessary to keep gas prices down. Meanwhile, they are hiding the immense profitability of the industry. Obama controls relatively little as far as oil goes. The majority of our oil comes from our own country, and our neighbors to the north and south, so better relations with the Middle East would likely solve little. And while there is an oil reserve at his disposal, it only contains enough oil to supply the country’s needs for about 35 days and isn’t a long term fix. Republican attempts to blame him are an attempt to mislead the public to blame Obama, when he has absolutely nothing to do with the problem in the first place.

Guest column
Be consistent leveling charge of racism
Groups too quickly jump to judgmental conclusions
feeling like an outsider. Trust me, I know. I’ve been told by white people go back to the hood or go back to Africa. And it hurts. It really physically hurts you. As a human being, having people judge who you are based on your race is almost too much to bear. But I think as a minority group we are all too quick to jump to conclusions and label everything as racist. Mistakes happen. Accidents happen. Did you write a letter to the editor explaining your dislike for the writings? No. Did you go and talk to the editor at the Daily? No. Instead of going to the source and actually witnessing and being able to attest the staff at the Daily are filled with insensitive racists, you again assumed that this was allowed to be printed because you thought people don’t care about your feelings. You talked about steps being needed to be taken in order to prevent racism. Well wouldn’t a good start have been actually going to the Daily and trying to talk with them personally about why this offends you? People can be very cruel sometimes, yes, but I also know there are good people in this
A
s a black male student on campus, I can understand how Asians and Asian Americans feels about racism sometimes. It’s aggravating and frustrating and demeans you as a person. I’ve been upset many times from the negative connotations that come with being a black male, like I’m sure the Asian community deals with as well. I think if the Asian community is offended by the “Just Sayin’” submission that used the word “squintey” as an offensive slur towards Asians they have every right to be upset. But under no circumstances should this be considered another example of racism on campus. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be upset because it’s not my place to decide what you can be angry at. Would I, as a black male, be offended if I saw something in a paper that said “I saw a coon in the building, they’re taking over!!!??” Of course I’d be upset. I understand that hurt. I understand that pain you feel of not belonging and
world as well. Good people who are kind and care for everyone black, white, Asian, Mexican and whatever other race I’m forgetting. Those people exist, and there are plenty on them on the campus which you have chosen to bash along with the writings from the Daily. You are right, though: Something should be done to help combat racism on this campus but not just towards Asians, everyone needs to take a step back and walk in another person’s shoes. I personally have met plenty of Asians who have been just as racist as some of the whites I’ve encountered on this campus. Maybe you could have used that same conference that you had with the vice president of student affairs to express how you felt, instead hold a conference with other minorities so we can all express how we feel about the topic, maybe you could create discussion groups trying to bring together minorities and whites, or have a summit dedicated to racial tolerance and many other things can be done. Yes, steps need to be taken but this is not the right one. This wasn’t racism, this was a misunderstanding. Again, you are right, racial attacks should not be tolerated.
But in this case, show me a racial attack. Show me an intentional attack on a person’s race that the Daily has published, and I’ll show you the countless articles they’ve published praising minorities for their accomplishments and the achievements they have made in their own community and other communities as well. Before you judge think about who you affect with your actions. Think about Jake Lovett, editor in chief of the Daily, who wrote that apology expressing his deepest empathy for you. Think about Katherine Klingseis, who attended the meeting as well and wrote how she was saddened by the events that took place and the effect it had on all of you. And think about the staff writers and reporters like myself who felt so distraught by this that I felt the need to write to the editor in chief about it. You say others need to be more sensitive, but take a look in the mirror at yourselves and see who you are hurting.

Money
Credit cards may soon be the way of the past New payment options solve financial control problems
P
urchasing ease continues to grow, but is it getting out of control or finally solving problems? Paying for a good or service in favor of ease and convenience can be argued as starting back when debit cards were started by the First National Bank of Seattle in 1978. Debit cards replaced the interest-bearing debt created by using credit cards, which are believed to have started in 1951 in their plastic card form. Those credit cards are a nice pleasure only if you are able to pay the balance, and I’ve been at fault for only paying the minimum. I continue to pay off my credit card debt, and thus this convenience and ease of credit cards didn’t really solve a problem. They created a greater problem of poor money management. Thank goodness for our bank system and the idea of debit cards. You only use what you have. But, the problem lies in lack of innovation and still not being able to solve the problem of purchasing and money transfer. It needs to be simple, fast and secure. Traditionally, secu-
By Derek.Jensen @iowastatedaily.com rity has always been the main focus. Thank goodness. Today, companies like Dwolla, Paypal, Simple and Square are each acting these problems at very different angles. It’s exciting to know that Dwolla is stationed just 35 miles from Ames in Des Moines. In a sense, how I see things, Dwolla and Simple are redeveloping the banking systems and taking what works today and vastly improving the ease and convenience issues we’ve been faced with like eliminating unnecessary fees and overall poor performance. Seriously, banks should stick to giving out loans, locking up the vault and being the hubs in our money system. On the other hand, you have companies like Paypal and Square, who are making any con-

I highly suggest you go out and do a Google search for these companies because the way we move our money is changing. Our devices will be our banks or wallets if they aren’t already. Plastic was the new kid in town until it easily was taken advantage for underlying fees and competition. Hindering how money gets transferred only hurts the consumer and businesses involved. And thus these companies and the devices and technology we use today have the opportunity to finally solve the problems involved with money today. I posed the question to whether these innovations are getting out of control in a sense of many options or rather these companies are individually paving a path that is enjoyable for all in the near future. I believe the latter possibility has more
truth. I tend to be optimistic, but seeing these companies are not making it hard for you to use one service over the other, I have to believe the only problem will be the choice we make. Where do we put our money, how do we want to consume and transfer it, and whose system do we trust and believe in? Once these decisions are made clear and practiced to your liking, the respective company will do the hard work of keeping their promises embedded in their service. The mobile world is truly the most innovative areas in our world right now, and finally people are adapting to the idea of allowing someone else handle the operations of their money. For instance: Dwolla makes it possible to send money to others that are near by; Square is reinventing the cash register and making taxi transportation a breeze for payment. They all are striving for high clarity in their operations. Our current banks and credit card companies are certainly not innovating so thank these four companies for leading the charge.

Letters to the editor
Hate speech stays free, Child abuse has far-reaching provides full discussion consequences for victims Even if immoral, all sides offer chance for learning I am impressed by the artlessness Andrew Mungons exhibits in his recent letter to the editor. He describes frustration at the way the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex and asexual community and the Christian community, both tremendously diverse groups, cannot have a “proper discussion about beliefs.” Claiming it is bizarre for people called “immoral” to conflict with their oppressors is absurd. For someone to ignore the suicide rate among gay teens or the murder of transgender people and to continue holding barbaric homophobic beliefs is, at least, unethical. As part of his personal theology, Mungons believes “homosexuality is morally wrong.” He follows that by saying “hateful speech” is also immoral. I submit that those two statements are irreconcilable as the first is, in fact, hateful speech. Mungons claims not to be advocating hate-

No one, however, should be trying to stop Mungons from saying this. We need to know what people like him actually think. While his vile, ignorant, bigoted speech is entirely inappropriate for a civilized and “proper” discussion, he has every right to express himself. I will defend his right to articulate an opinion against anything and anyone, no matter how vehemently I disagree. Those who want to stop hate speech should work to change minds and hearts, not law. Free speech is more important than comfort and civility. Mungons, while shamefully playing the privileged heteronormal Christian victim, is correct on this point. Also, if Mungons wants to be my friend, then he should stop discriminating against people for their inborn nature. Just a suggestion.

Support the prevention of heinous acts
Pui Mun Lau is a senior in communication studies.
The reason for this letter is to educate and discourage and hopefully reduce the cases of child abuse in Iowa. According to House File 562, the failure on the part of a person responsible for the care of a child to provide for necessary care including food, shelter and other care essential for the child’s welfare, provided it is in the person’s financial capability. Over three million reports of child abuse are made every year in the United States, and it is believed there are still many more cases unreported and undisclosed. The number of child
deaths per day due to child neglect and abuse are also increasing to terrifying numbers. Child abuse can have many harmful consequences. Of abused children, 25 percent are more likely to experience teen pregnancy. Also, abused teens are less likely to practice safe sex, exposing them to medical risks like STDs. There are many other cases where abused children are more likely to commit crimes, abuse their own children, drugs and alcohol abuse, and it becomes a never-ending cycle of destructive behavior if child abuse is not prevented. There are many programs and legislation in the United
States that help prevent child abuse. Studies show it is critical to invest early in children, such as raising them in an appropriate living home and providing love and cares for them. Children are the future, and it is our responsibility to raise them in the best condition as possible. Prevent Child Abuse in Iowa’s fundamental mission is to end child abuse in the entire state of Iowa. It focuses on the fact that prevention is the key to stop child abuse, most of its efforts involve treating children and families after abuse have been occurred. Please support and participate in the Prevent Child Abuse in Iowa program and let us all come together to prevent child abuse and eliminate this issue once and for all.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Beating a team three times is always tough task to accomplish. Doing that in the Big 12 is even harder. The ISU women’s basketball team will face Kansas State for the third time this season when the Cyclones square off against the Wildcats on Thursday in Kansas City, Mo. When asked why he thinks it is difficult to beat a team three times in a season, ISU coach Bill Fennelly said he does not think that way. “Because probably a long time ago someone had beaten somebody twice and then lost and needed an excuse,” Fennelly said. “It’s hard to beat someone once in this league and that threetime thing, I’ve never bought into it. “You’re in a 4-5 game, our kids should know, they’ve beat Kansas State twice. If you play well, why can’t you beat them a third time?” The last time the two teams faced, the Cyclones held the Wildcats to a Big 12 school-record 33 points and only 29 percent shooting on senior night at Hilton Coliseum. Kansas State’s leading scorer, Brittany Chambers, was held to a mere four points on 1-7 shooting. Senior Chassidy Cole was given credit “chasing Chambers all over the floor” and is expected to do the same this time around. The Cyclones held the Wildcats to no 3-point shots in the second half and only six made baskets. Iowa State also outscored them 22-4 off of turnovers. Chelsea Poppens and Iowa State plan on keeping a similar game plan to the one that has worked the past two times against the Wildcats — make buckets. “We were just making shots,” Poppens said. “I feel like we were playing pretty good defense, and we were just shutting down their main

players like Chambers and [Jalana] Childs.” According to ESPN.com, Iowa State is one of the last four teams into the NCAA Tournament. Whether the team is in or out at this point, there is no questioning the fact that performing well in the Big 12 tournament would help its cause. Fennelly has said he does not like to discuss two things: referees and whether or not the team deserves to
be in the NCAA tournament. He did say, however, he believes if the committee looks at the stats, which he also said he crunched on the long bus ride to Kansas City, and that there should be no question that they deserve to be in the NCAA tournament. “I don’t really talk much about it,” Fennelly said. “I think if you look at our numbers, there should be no doubt that we’re in the tournament. ...
I don’t know that you’ll ever be comfortable until Monday night when you see your name, but certainly winning tomorrow would help. But it’s like I’ve been telling everybody: Most people don’t care what I think at home, and I don’t think the committee cares what I think either.” Prior to the Big 12 tournament, the Big 12 conference released its All-Big 12 teams. Poppens received a unanimous selection to the All-Big 12 First Team and Nikki Moody was selected to the All-Big 12 Freshman Team. Poppens, who did not have any preseason hype coming into the year, seemingly came out of nowhere. “I think that’s one of the neatest stories of the season,” Fennelly said. “A kid that no one knew about. There was no preseason hype, and she is a unanimous All-Big 12 player. That’s a pretty big statement for a kid coming out of nowhere.” Iowa State plays in the 4-5 game tipping off at 11 a.m. at the Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City, Mo.

Three-peat Kansas defeat?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A year ago, the ISU men’s basketball team had three conference wins heading into the Big 12 tournament. Morale was not the highest, and postseason aspirations were nonexistent. Fast forward to this year, the Cyclones come to Kansas City, Mo., winners of four of their last five and a confidence level that is through the roof. Even still, this ISU squad knows why it is here and what needs to be done. “It’s a business trip,” said guard Chris Babb. “We’re not here to have fun, we’re here to win games.” To that end, coach Fred Hoiberg can see Babb’s sentiment existing throughout his team. The 2011-12 conference season taught the Cyclones a lot about themselves, namely how to handle adversity — something they struggled with early in the season — and Hoiberg said the change in the vibe of the team from 2011 to 2012 is evident. And though the morale improvement is important to Hoiberg and his players, what is more important, he said, is keeping a sharp mind in a hectic conference tournament environment. “You have to be, at this time of the year, the mentally tougher team if you’re going to make a run,” Hoiberg said. “And that’s what we’re trying to get these guys to believe.” On Wednesday, the team got to have approximately an hour to do a walk-through/shootaround session inside the Sprint Center, where the tournament is located, to familiarize themselves with their surroundings. During that session, teammates seemed focused but not uptight. Forward Royce White said a practice of that type can have a positive impact on a team, in terms of that mindset Hoiberg talked about. “First, stay focused,” White said when asked what the team’s mindset was during the shootaround. “But

even more so, come together and have a sense of togetherness. That’s probably the biggest piece that we know is going to make us be successful. “When we have great practices before a big game, and we’re really to-
gether out there and our camaraderie is highest, that’s when we play well.” Keeping that focus and togetherness can be hard when a team is out of its normal routine. Hoiberg said the team has to readjust in the tournament atmosphere in order to be properly prepared. Having a regular practice, film sessions and other things to keep the players’ focus from straying from the task at hand is something the coaching staff will pay particular attention to throughout the postseason. “It’s a long day, when you play at 8:30 [p.m.],” Hoiberg said about the day of the Cyclones’ opening game against Texas. “You’ve got to try to fill the day for these guys. We’ll try to keep them occupied so they’re not laying in bed all day. “It’s important to get these guys on a similar schedule to how you have them when you play a normal game.” For the players, the day of the game specifically, can be a mix of focusing on the game and trying to not over-think things. White said it’s a delicate balance of keeping sharp, but also staying loose. “It’s a little bit of both,” White said. “You always want to keep in mind

what your goal is, and the choices you’re making before the game. But as far as over-thinking about in-game situations, I don’t like to do that. I like to just wait right up until game time.” As for the game itself, the Cyclones enter having split the season series with the Longhorns, most recently a 62-55 loss in Austin, Texas. While Hoiberg and players discussed the usual Xs and Os of what it will take to win — getting back in transition, crash the boards, stop J’Covan Brown, etc. — they also know they’ll be able to rely on one anchor who will guide the Cyclones defensively. Babb’s “lockdown” defense throughout the Big 12 season was noticed in Ames, but not enough by the Big 12 coaches to merit an award. The lack of recognition, Babb said, fuels his desire to work even harder. For the Cyclones, the timing of that feeling couldn’t be better. “A lot of politics go into [awards]. It doesn’t matter to me, not really at all. I didn’t watch all the other games, maybe they played better defense than me, who knows? Maybe,” Babb said with a smirk. “I know I play defense, I don’t need them to tell me that.”

Accused stalker of Yankee GM to testify By JENNIFER PELTZ, Associated Press NEW YORK — A woman charged with extorting $6,000 from New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman may testify next week before a grand jury weighing the case, her lawyer said Wednesday as a judge declined to reduce the woman’s $300,000 bond. Louise Neathway, who denies allegations of threatening to damage Cashman’s reputation to get him to pay her, held her head high during a brief Manhattan court appearance. Prosecutors set a March 15 date for Neathway to appear after her lawyer said she might want to testify before the grand jury. Neathway deluged Cashman with calls and text messages and asked him to pay for a $15,000plus medical procedure, threatening to contact the press and his family with damaging claims if he didn’t comply, according to a court complaint.

Sorenson’s 2012 return Injury kept senior out of 2011 championship
By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com Last season, Andrew Sorenson had the privilege of watching his teammate Jon Reader win a national championship. The only problem: Sorenson had watched the entire 2011 NCAA Championships from the stands. “I went out to watch the guys compete, I had to be there for them,” Sorenson said. “Being in the stands made me realize that I can compete with the best guys in the country. That really put it in my perspective that I can beat those guys. It’s not something I wanted to do, it’s not where I wanted to be, but everything happens for a reason.” Sorenson, a redshirt senior, was forced to forfeit an automatic bid to last year’s national tournament after tearing his ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow just weeks before the Big 12 Championships. “I know it was very difficult, but I think he recognized that he couldn’t compete to the level he needed to to have any success at the tournament,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson. “His elbow was blown out. I know it was devastating and disappointing to him, but he was injured, and he wasn’t going to be able to wrestle.” This season for Sorenson has been dedicated to avenging his absence from nationals. He has compiled a 26-2 record en route to earning a No. 3 seed in the 165-pound bracket of the 2012 NCAA Championships, which will be held on March 15 to 17 in St. Louis. Last year, Sorenson was the first person Reader acknowledged after walking off the mat following his championship match. Reader also said he knows Sorenson could see the same success this year. “You saw the guys that placed at his weight and I believe that Andrew, if he wrestled the way that I know Andrew can wrestle, that he was very capable of being an All-American,” Reader said. “He is at that level and he is capable of winning a national title and he is capable of wrestling with the best in the country.” Sorenson improved in multiple facets in preperation for the nationals. “He’s managed to stay healthy, he’s managed to stay focused, and he’s managed to continue to get better in must-win positions,” Jackson said. “I think a must-win position is what cost him the Big 12 title, but at the same time, it’s better that it happened at the Big 12 Championships rather than the

NCAA tournament.” While Sorenson has spent the season as the Cyclones’ most consistent wrestler and team captain, he was not immune to misfortunes as Reader — who went undefeated his senior season — was. Sorenson lost to Missouri’s Zach Toal in a 3-2 decision at the Big 12 Championships on March 3, missing his final shot to win a conference title. However, winning a conference title does not always translate into
success at the national title. “You’ve seen the NCAA tournament, and every single year it doesn’t pan out the way it should,” Reader said. “And like I said, if you stick to the training that we’ve been implementing since August, then great things are going to come. You’ve got to go out there and fight,” he said. Sorenson received a draw with familiar opponents. Of the 16 other wrestlers in his half of the brackets, he
is 8-1 against those he has faced. However, he will be relying on his mental preparedness, not past results, to find success at the tournament. “If I don’t think I can go out and win the national tournament, then I’m not mentally prepared,” Sorenson said. “After the loss at Big 12s, I just made my road a little bit tougher, but it doesn’t matter because I have to beat everybody anyways to win the national title.”
Swimming and diving
Nelson, Henderson hook regionals Divers prepare for ‘competitive’ championship By Travis.Cammon @iowastatedaily.com ISU divers Sarah Nelson and Jessica Henderson will again take the pool for the Zone D Diving Championships Thursday in Iowa City. “It’s really the best of the best,” said diving coach Jeff Warrick. “Obviously ... the NCAA championships are the real best, but our zone is super competitive.” The Zone Diving Championships are split up into five zones based on the region. Divers on the East Coast will compete in Zone A; Southeast Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference in Zone B; most of the Big Ten schools in Zone C; most the Midwest schools in Zone D; and West Coast schools in Zone E. “Only 12 divers from our zone are going to go to the NCAA championships,” Warrick said. “It’s definitely going to be a challenge to be one of those 12 divers in our zone, but I’m really looking forward to how Sarah and Jessica compete. We will see what happens.”
There are three days of competition beginning with the 1-meter. Day two features the 3-meter, with the platform dive on day three. The top 12 divers will go to the NCAA tournament. “Everyone is going to be trying to do their best,” Nelson said. “Everyone wants that ticket to the NCAA meet.” Last season, Nelson was able to qualify for Zone D, where she placed 17th on the 1-meter, 30th on the 3-meter and 16th on platform. “[Nelson’s] just trained really hard, she’s dedicated and really living the lifestyle of a top athlete,” Warrick said. “She’s a senior; she’s been doing this a long time, and whether it’s sports or music or anything the more hours you put into something the more of an expert you can be in it.” This will be Henderson’s first trip to zones in her young career. She was close to qualifying last year, falling short of the score needed to qualify with 272.93 points, 7.07 shy of the qualifying score. “I feel like I definitely stepped up from last year,” Henderson said. “I feel like last year was definitely a learning experience. I got close to making zone last year but didn’t really know
how to put it together.” Nelson and Henderson have been the top divers for Iowa State virtually throughout the entire season and will aim to continue their consistency against the best compe-
tition to date. “Obviously we want to qualify for the NCAA Championships,” Warrick said. “But what I want to do is look individually at each one and see what has been their
high score for the season and see if the cab exceed that and see where those results compare to the other divers.” The three-day competition is set to begin on Thursday in Iowa City.

New album, new ‘Fate’ for Ford Iowa songwriter releases newly styled recordings By Vincent Geerts Ames247 writer On his previous two albums, Iowa songwriter Chris Ford recorded a majority of the instruments by himself. But when writing songs for “Christopher the Conquered & His Black Gold Brass Band Decide… The Fate Of A Good Man,” to be released mid-April, Ford expanded his songwriting to include a dedicated band. He attributed the Black Gold Brass Band’s inclusion in the album title to “more thoughtful” instrumentation. “It’s because we have such good players,” Ford said. “I was able to write parts to their strengths, and they tweaked them, and together we came up with something really special.” Brian “Wildman” Stout, trombone in the band, said “it’s an honor” to work with Ford both in the studio and on stage. “Every time I play the songs, it’s great to listen to,” Stout said. “It’s just interesting to hear what he has to say.” In writing the album, Ford said he gained perspective and grew as a person. On “The Fate Of A Good Man,” he tries to share some of what he has learned through his own story. “It’s important to understand that people have a lot of reasons for being who they are,” Ford said. ”No one intends to be a bad person.”

A soon-to-be released music video for the album’s opening track, “Free To Try (But Not Always To Do),” also helps to convey what co-director Ashley Tape Fleming called a “dichotomy between lives.” Ford personally asked Ashley and her husband Patrick, of The Poison Control Center, to direct the video. The video will portray the businessman and artist aspects of Ford as alternate lives which coexist. Often times, Ford acts with himself via

postproduction editing. “This is one person in fact, but a complex thing to live on a regular basis,” Ashley said. “It’s not a good or evil person, just different aspects of ourselves that exist at the same time.” Each member of the band is also given time to characterize themselves in the video, which Patrick said was also important to Ford. “He has such an amazing band he wants to focus on instruments, so it was important to us to
have them all in the video,” Patrick said. He also praised Ford’s work ethic and determination. “He takes it seriously, doing records or videos ... and he pushes people to do their best,” he said. Two more music videos from the album are also in the works. One was filmed for the track “10,000 People” using an 8mm camera during a party at The Pink Lady in Ames. Ford said it would be released around the same time as the album. Another video using puppets and dolls to illustrate the track “Life Is Not Always Easy” is in the hands of Dominic Rabalais of Utopia Park and Hilary Nelson. “The Fate Of A Good Man” is available on pre-order through Maximum Ames Records in CD, digital and collectible vinyl formats. All pre-orders include an immediate download of the album’s title track, online streaming of the album, early shipping and two passes to a private, all-requests show. The private concert date and location are to be determined pending 50 pre-orders. The collectible vinyl edition comes with a bonus 7” featuring two unreleased songs recorded at The Pink Lady. Ford said they were originally intended to begin and end the album, but did not fit with the rest. Additionally, vinyl pre-orders will receive an autographed score of the album’s opening chorale. There will be many chances to see the band celebrate the album release live in concert. At all album release parties, Vinyl + bonus 7” will be sold for $15, CDs for $10 and DLs for $5.
Clubs
Gaffer’s Guild teaches art of glass blowing By Olivia Gard Ames247 writer Industrially-made glass products have become the norm, and so the general public seeks out and expects perfection when they buy cups, bowls, or decorations. However, the ISU Gaffer’s Guild, located in Sweeney Hall, teaches students and community members the art of glassblowing, a learning experience that takes time, dedication and patience. Members of the club see the challenges and rewards that come with the art form. People wishing to begin glass-blowing in the Gaffer’s Guild are required to take a beginner’s class in the studio, which is usually taught by two experienced club members who introduce the technical processes and other aspects of the club. Normally, two classes of eight are taught a semester, with a total of 16 learners, said Ben Linn, senior in biochemistry and president of the club. Glass is first melted in the studio’s furnace from its original chunky form, called cul-
let. When it is time to create a piece, a long metal rod called the punty is used to gather glass from the furnace and wrap it into a mass on the end of the rod. Glass in this state is reminiscent of very stiff honey, said Max Marple, senior in materials engineering and vice president of the club. The glassblower can then bring the punty to the “Glory Hole” oven to reheat the glass and then to the marver, the metal slab where molten glass is placed. The paddle, shears and blocks, the latter actually a rounded scoop-looking tool, are all common tools used for shaping the glass to its desired form. The blowpipe, a kind of hollow version of the punty rod, is used for actual “blowing.” The blower will push air through the blowpipe and into the glass in order to create a bubble inside the material. When the glass is in its desired form, it is put in the annealer, a large programmable oven, where the temperature adjusts and cools down the glass at a uniform rate. Club members sometimes

join up for projects, especially ones that require advanced techniques. A gaffer-assistant pair, in which the gaffer directs the project and the assistant helps, is beneficial to both participants, Marple said. People
have many different styles and ways of working, so joining with another person, or several other people, is a good experience for all involved. And although failure is an unavoidable part of learning
glass-blowing, Marple said you experience “more satisfaction once you work hard on a particular design and then actually make it.” Heather Whittlesey, graduate student in art and design,
said she learned different skills than she would have ever expected to in her experience at the club. As treasurer of Gaffer’s Guild, Whittlesey completes a lot of paperwork and bookkeeping, an analytical job which is very different from her usual interests. She said she never thought she would like something like this, but actually “really loves” her behind-the-scenes work in the club. In this way, the guild can provide a wider range of opportunities. The club fees for beginning members are $120 for students and $240 for nonstudents, with another $90 to $180 each semester for continued membership. The studio, where all community members and students can have continued access, is a rare opportunity. Gaffer’s Guild holds three sales a year, where active members contribute at least half of their glass objects to be sold. The money goes to material and upkeep for the studio equipment. The next sale will be found in Veishea Village on Saturday of Veishea Week.

Flower festival blooms at Brunnier Art Museum By Patty Clark Ames247 writer
Photo courtesy of Dave Lichterman/Flickr Doomtree, a hip-hop collective based out of Minneapolis, is stopping in Ames to play The Maintenance Shop on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. as a part of its “No Kings” tour.
Doomtree jams it up for Ames audience By Cole Komma Ames247 writer Visiting from the are code of 612 is Doomtree, a collaboration of artists Cecil Otter, P.O.S., Dessa, Mike Mictlan and Sims with DJs Paper Tiger and Lazerbeak. The group will perform at the Maintenance Shop Thursday. “We started out about 10 years ago, and we were right out of high school, and we were all friends, and we were all interested in making this type of music,” band DJ Lazerbeak said. “We would all hold each other up.” Doomtree emerged naturally out of each artist trying to make his or her own way in the industry. They would attend each other’s shows and help promote each other. “It came from very humble beginnings,” Lazerbeak said. “It was like ‘we don’t really

Cost: $9 students, $15 general. know what we’re doing’ so it was easier for us to join forces and do it together, and it never really stopped.” Last year, Doomtree released their highly anticipated second album “No Kings.” According to Pitchfork’s Nate Patrin, “They can each go in their own distinct directions. But as a unit, they complement each others’ talents naturally, each providing their own variations on allegorical stress-rap.” “It took us a while to really
learn how to write together,” Lazerbeak said. “It used to be someone would give a beat and then one person would write a hook and two verses, and we’d ask someone else to kind of fill in the third verse.” Lazerbeak went on to describe the process of writing their newest album and said the group tried to make it sound like “a band where we wrote songs together. ... For the first time, the producers worked together to make beats ... and instead of one person taking a song and working on it for a month, we actually rented a cabin for five days, and we put beats on loop and the five rappers kind of paced around the kitchen and wrote together.” Lazerbeak said the band is excited to perform in Ames. “I enjoy getting to play the small Midwest cities,” Lazerbeak said. “It’s a little more laid back and more intimate.”
The Brunnier Art Museum is hosting the fourth annual Brunnier in Bloom at the end of March. Brunnier in Bloom is an exhibit that started four years ago and has become a huge success with more than 500 people attending each year. It is a chance for the public to see florists design an interpretation of any art piece of their choosing that is currently in the Brunnier Museum. Nancy Girard, educator of visual literacy and learning for University Museums, described the exhibition as being very popular. “The florists like it because it is a creative challenge, which they might not get on a regular basis,” she said. Girard also said this year has the most participants to date, with 21 arrangements. This includes some students from Iowa State’s Horticulture Club, along with a few florists from Lincoln Center Hy-Vee in Ames and many more from Ames, Ankeny and Des Moines. Mary Jane Stout, a HyVee florist, is entering for the

The art piece Stout will be interpreting is “Cherry Blossom.” Another participant from the Lincoln Center Hy-Vee is Miracle Kelley, and she has participated in the event since it started. “I enjoy seeing the creativeness. We are all different and it inspires me,” Kelley said. “It makes me more motivated when I see the others’ works because I look at it and say ‘Hey, I could do that’.” Kelley will be interpreting the art piece in Brunnier titled “The Big Red.” She said she picked the piece because

Kelley also said she likes that this year, the museum had more selections to choose from with more pieces being displayed in the museum. “I’m excited to see what other people do,” she said. “And all the beautiful colorful flowers with this weather, it is fun thing to do.” Opening night for the exhibit will be March 23 from 6 to 8 p.m. This will also be the first chance for the Ames community to see the finished works. The judges will pick this year’s winners at the opening. The show will have refreshments and cupcakes donated from the Ames Cupcake Emporium along with acoustic musical guest Clayton Severson. The event will continue March 24 and 25 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This gives a chance for more of the Ames community to come and view the works that are done and also vote for their favorites for the “People’s Choice” award. Viewers can also participate in a raffle for a chance to win prizes, and the proceeds will support Brunnier in Bloom and the University Museums’ educational programing.
cast, were each honored with “Distinguished Performance” awards. Matt Meldrem, lighting designer for “Six Characters,” was also given the award for “Outstanding Lighting Design.” “I have to admit I was excited, but I was just as excited, or more excited, to hear about the whole ensemble’s recognition,” White said about winning his award. It was a success nobody in the cast expected at the start, but one of the rewards was to see there was appreciation for their work. “You always have dreams and ambitions of standing ovations and people crying over the work that you do,” Meldrem said, “but to actually see it happen was strangely humbling.”

A: When I was a kid, I was all into fantasy and sci-fi and all these other worlds. And theater is a way to engage in the magic of storytelling. I don’t think normal life is boring, but I think your imaginative life is infinite and theater is a way to step into that. It’s also a way to hang out with people when you’re a lonely kid.
