Caucus Cup tests student debate skills

By Morgan Fleener Daily staff writer The ISU College Republicans and College Democrats will be competing and debating for the Caucus Cup at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the South Ballroom of the Memorial Union.

College Democrats president Abhishek Vemuri and his team have selected Michael Glawe (also a Daily columnist), Annie Hartnett, Spencer Hughes and Ross Kimm to represent the Democrats in discussing and generating an informative discussion that Vemuri hopes people can learn from.

“Our debaters will use reasoned argument to try and convince the judges, and hopefully the audience members, that letting some of the Bush tax cuts expire is in the best interests of our country, both socially and economically,” Vemuri said.

“We also hope that our debate will correct some misconceptions there might be out there concerning U.S. tax policy.”

Along with three Republican members Caitlyn Van Dame, David Peterson and Kyle Etzel, College Republicans president Forrest Irvine will defend their views on why they believe taxing the wealthier is unfair in society today.

“I think the debate will be fun because of the debate itself and the discussion that will be made,” Irvine said.

“With lots of interaction, it will be exciting to see the compromises and points that each team will bring.”

Vemuri and Irvine both expect a great outcome from both the opposing and their own teams.

“Ultimately, it would be great to win, but even if we lose, we hope people leave more informed and perhaps even willing to go research some of these issues on their own,” Vemuri said. “That’s a victory for everybody. “

If you are guilty of using someone else’s ISU ID card to get into State Gym and did not get caught, you’re lucky. It will not likely happen again, as more and more students are finding out.

The Student Code of Conduct rule number 4.2.19 rule A states that “providing inaccurate identifying information to authorized officials with reason to request such information” is subject to disciplinary action.

Giving your ID to someone else to use is violating this rule.

Preacher takes advantage of First Amendment Week

By Megan.Swindell @iowastatedaily.com The breeze may have been rustling the leaves on the trees and blowing down signs across the ISU campus, but an influence other than the wind was stirring emotions the Monday of First Amendment Week.

Tom Short, commonly known as Tom the Preacher, stood his ground in Iowa State’s free-speech zone while emphasizing his three main points: “God is real, the Bible is completely true and Jesus Christ is Lord of all and the only way a person can come to know God.” “I started preaching at the University of Maryland in the spring of 1980,” Short said.

“My primary motivation was simply that I saw this is what the evangelists did in the New Testament and I wanted to follow their model.”

Short is a familiar, annual face to the ISU campus, but he travels elsewhere as well. “[I travel] mostly on campuses, although I do speak at some high school retreats and in churches on Sunday morning,” Short said.

Many students passed by, but some took a seat in a semicircle outside the Hub to both listen to Short and challenge his ideas.

Chris Cox, sophomore in journalism and mass communication, said, “I came because Tom has been on campus before, and the ruckus he

allows you to enter State Gym is not transferable to others,” Giles said.

This means it is not acceptable, ever, to give your ID to someone else to use. This includes admittance into sporting events, getting food or getting access to gyms.

“For a first violation, you come in and meet with us and get your ID back, no charge,” Giles said. “If an ID is used too inappropriately, it could go to the dean of students.”

If an ID does end up at the Dean of Students Office, you will most likely have to pay a $25 fee to get it back, as well as a $6 visitor’s pass into the gym you attempted to enter.

The faculty is aware that the card may have been gained under false pretenses. If that is the case, any fault

New event major sees surge in enrollment

Event management within the apparel, events and hospitality management department began at Iowa State in January 2011 with a total of 24 students. Since then, enrollment in event management has risen to 217 students, including both majors and minors, in a little more than a year.

“I think more and more people are joining this major because it’s new and exciting,” said Jessi Decker, junior in event management. “When I heard that Iowa State started offering an event management major, I went for it.”

The event management major is a four-year accredited program.

It is the only one in the state of Iowa and one of the few in the Midwest.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor: Bureau Labor Statistics, meeting, convention and event planning employment are expected to increase 44 percent by 2020.

“Our major includes curriculum in areas such as business management, journalism, advertising, hospitality management, business law, entrepreneurship, creative problemsolving, as well as specific areas within event planning and management,” said Jamie Beyer, an adviser and lecturer within the program.

Forum to discuss ‘pink slime’

By Randi.Reeder @iowastatedaily.com There will be an educational forum about the controversial finely textured lean beef better known as “pink slime” Tuesday in the Farm Bureau Pavilion in Kildee Hall.

The forum is being called “The Truth: Lean Finely Textured Beef” in hopes of informing students, beef consumers and the general public about the product.

>>RECREATION.p1 will be waived when you go to retrieve your ID. This problem appeared to have become more of a concern after State Gym opened.

“We began to notice that people were swiping their ID and would then set it down,” Giles said. “Another student would then pick it up and swipe it again.”

To combat this, the faculty has started to check IDs by hand. Although more time consuming, it ensures that a student is using their ID and not someone else’s. This will continue on and off for the time being.

“It’ll calm down,” Giles said.

“We’ll continue to evaluate the situation. We’re still getting a good heavy stream of people.”

If an ID is taken, do not blame the student faculty.

“They’re held to enforce the policies we place,” Giles said.

Justin Block, sophomore in construction engineering, shares his opinions on how the policy works.

“It should be that you get a warning and they put your name in a system. If you get caught again, it should be a fine,” Block said.

Janet Riley of the American Meat Institute, who has spoken on Fox News and CNN on the topic, will be flying in from Washington, D.C., for the event.

The event was organized to “show the scientific side of the issue,” McNeil said.

causes isn’t a bad thing — he crystallizes opinions.”

On the other side of the sidewalk outside Parks Library, in addition to doing it “for fun,” the Ask an Atheist group gathered to “present an alternate view,” said David Masover, junior in computer science and a representative for Ask an Atheist.

“The Methodists sitting over there are saying there are Christians who believe differently than Tom, and we are saying that you don’t have to be Christian at all,” Masover said.

In between expressing his views to those who asked, cartwheeling and heckling Short’s introduction to his view on evolution, Mark Chivvis, senior in insect science, explained his view on Tom the Preacher.

“My problem with Tom is he is spewing these vial words and has a lot of really hateful claims,” he said. “There are so many beliefs and punishments, and I haven’t been convinced of any of them.”

When asked about the type of feedback he receives, Short said, “The negative feedback is far more verbal and willing to interrupt me when I’m speaking.”

Short ended his preaching for the day with a prayer circle and the opportunity for one-on-one conversations.

Here he experiences the other side of the spectrum of feedback.

“Most of the positive feedback comes to me in private conversations at the end of the day or emails I receive sometime later,” Short said.

“Ultimately, I hope students listen to what I say, consider it and decide to believe in and follow Jesus Christ with their whole being — to be a disciple of Jesus.”

Until he visits again next year, Tom the Preacher said, “I’m willing to engage in conversation and address any and all issues that stand in the way of a person loving Christ with their whole being.”

Short will be speaking on campus again Tuesday and Wednesday.

“The best thing about the event management major is that I can use my creativity,” Decker said. “I want to either own my own event planning/ coordinating business someday or work for a well-known event planner/coordinator.”

To prepare for their future careers, students study trend analysis, hospitality and resource management to organize events that are both on time and within budget.

Out-of-class experiences and internships are required and encouraged. Decker works at the Memorial Union as a wedding coordinator.

“I am responsible for keeping in contact with the couple throughout their planning process and schedule meetings to show the venues at the Memorial Union,” Decker said. “This job has been great experience and I am learning so much.”

Other opportunities on campus include working at the ISU Fashion Show, planning events for the athletic department, ISU Alumni Association, ISU Dining/ Catering, the greek system, Dance Marathon and Veishea.

“We foster students’ learning by providing them academic knowledge in partnership with experience and application to best prepare them for a successful career in event management,” Beyer said.

The major is expected to continue to grow and students who are interested are encouraged to enroll.

Walk the walk for charities all year long Part of TOMS Shoes’ effort to provide footwear to children in thirdworld countries who cannot obtain their own and suffer because of it is an annual One Day Without Shoes.

This year, that day is Tuesday. On Central Campus, students will gather to walk barefoot through a mixture of sand, gravel and rock that should give them an idea what millions of needy people around the world experience as they walk from place to place.

Then, participants will take a barefoot walk around campus.

The idea is very nice, but charity should not be a fashion statement.

We should not support charitable causes because it is cool or in vogue to do so. Charities, humanitarian missions and simple acts of kindness should be done because they are right, not because they are popular.

The dangers of using for-profit entities such as TOMS Shoes to carry out charitable missions such as shoe distribution or having pseudoholidays to raise awareness about an issue are numerous and can prove dangerous to year-round awareness of — and thus meaningful, sustained action on — an issue.

Profit almost always corrupts motives, and always attaches a risk that the activity with which it is paired will become more about the profit — which can be either a matter of money or popularity — than the principles involved. Commodification of or putting a price on moral principles allows us to buy goodness. But it is the gift of our time, not our money, that shows we care.

Relegating certain charitable causes to certain days of the year inevitably leads to forgetting about those same causes the rest of the year.

The action they spawn is seldom sustained for many days after the events, as the less ardent or less interested participants drop out because they are busy with other things.

For instance, many Christians attend church services on just Easter and Christmas, yet one of the main teachings of Jesus Christ was that fellowship with other believers is essential to growing in faith. Or consider Earth Day or First Amendment Day. The environment is important, but not a center-stage policy issue.

The dismal statistics on political participation and the dearth of newsworthy political protests should be enough to convince you that those rights go unexercised.

Much like political protests, if a charitable cause is really as important as its advocates say it is, they should maintain as ever-present a place in our world as possible. The best way to show how important an issue is, such as shoeless children, is by telling us about it day in and day out, selflessly, without regard to profitability or popularity.

The politicized high court Affordable Care Act case puts parties on display

T

he Supreme Court is quickly becoming the most politicized branch of government. The Supreme Court — which is supposed to be the only of the three branches of government that, since its conception, was supposed to be apolitical and deal solely with the law — has, in the last few weeks, become the most important of the three.

Many Americans — who likely did not know there were nine justices, let alone any of their names — now, thanks to the Affordable Care Act being reviewed by the High Court, are honing in on the court like TMZ on the latest celebrity gossip scoop. And boy, is it entertaining. The tables have turned a complete 180 as to the usual reactions to the justices.

In one corner, we have the Republican Party, which is usually the reactionary wing when it comes to the Supreme Court, citing “judicial activism” for any such ruling that goes against its doctrines. You know, rulings like extending marriage rights, giving women basic rights over their own bodies or giving suspected criminals the most paltry of rights to a defense.

Then there is the Democratic Party, which traditionally champions rulings that extend rights to people. You know, flesh-and-blood people, as opposed to synthetic bodies, like corporations (sorry, Mitt).

However, since the oral arguments at the high court two weeks ago, when the individual mandate aspect of the Affordable Care Act was picked apart like a turkey on Thanksgiving, the

By Jacob.Witte @iowastatedaily.com roles of the two parties have seemingly been reversed.

First, Barack Obama issued a rather stern warning, stating that it would be “unprecedented” that such a major law be struck down by “unelected” justices, a law that, he went on to say, “was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.”

Then, many within the Republican Party were quick to actually back the justices. This seems to be more unprecedented than anything, especially with such prominent figures such as Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum having openly contemptuous relationships with those in the judicial branch. Several commentators also noted that Obama was “intimidating” the Justices who dared vote against the health insurance reform.

In this author’s opinion, the Affordable Care Act will likely be struck down by the court. To what degree, however, is the pertinent question. The act could, if the justices see fit, simply call the individual mandate unconstitutional and leave the rest or, in the worst case scenario (for the Obama administration), strike down the entire law because so much of it depends on the individual mandate.

Jeffrey Toobin, prominent legal expert and writer for The New Yorker, called the oral arguments a “train wreck” for the justice depart-

ment defending the act. Anthony Kennedy, the key swing vote on the court, spent some time asking about the individual mandate, lending doubts for the Obama administration.

If the Affordable Care Act does get struck down, by any degree, it will certainly test the political skill of the president.

A critical skill of an artful politician is imperturbability, which is the ability to take a challenge and meet it head on and not become perturbed by it. The president will have to take active steps to see that health insurance reform is in some way or another kept in America.

Whether Republicans will play ball, though, is another question.

If, on the other hand, the act is upheld by the court, we likely will see calls to impeach the justices who voted to keep it, in the same manner that we Iowans witnessed with the ruling Varnum v. Brien in 2009.

The case regarding the Affordable Care Act is an extremely high-profile case, likely the most prolific since Bush v. Gore in 2000, and with similar ramifications at stake.

On a side note, while all the rage is transpiring about the Affordable Care Act, the Supreme Court quietly handed down an opinion allowing full strip searches for any and all people taken into custody, no matter how minor the crime.

Those damn big-government liberals, right? Wrong. It was the conservative, “smallgovernment” bloc of the court (Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Roberts and Kennedy) that ruled in the majority on this one. How does that sound for judicial activism?

Planned Parenthood

Don’t deny Tucker Max donation I

sn’t it great when a celebrity makes a donation to a nonprofit organization that helps people? Well, Tucker Max, author of “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” and other publications jampacked with debaucherous tales, attempted to make a $500,000 donation to Planned Parenthood late in 2011. Max’s offer was rejected.

Why would Planned Parenthood turn down such a generous donation? There are a few reasons.

This move was not one of absolute altruism on Max’s part.

In exchange for his donation, Planned Parenthood would have had to name a building after Max. In addition, he would reap some benefits from a tax break.

Adding to the possible reasons Planned Parenthood turned down Max’s proposal could be the possibility of the later jokes Max could make. Imagine the possibility of reference jokes from the selfproclaimed womanizer about how hooking up with him isn’t a worry as he has a clinic. The insulting comedy that could ensue would be on par with presidential gaffes on the campaign trail.

But even with the benefit to Max, why the hell would Planned Parenthood turn down $500,000?

Yes, the person donating has a history of insulting women — and men — and going on wild sex romps, but many celebrities have spotty histories.

Some folks in forums across

By Gabriel.Stoffa @iowastatedaily.com the Web have implied Planned Parenthood made the right choice in rejecting the money. Being associated with or “in debt” to someone like Max with a history of demeaning women could be bad for Planned Parenthood’s image.

But really think about it.

Planned Parenthood is already portrayed across the Internet as a place for murdering babies and housing prostitutes. Is naming a clinic after Tucker Max really going to drive more people away than are the asshat protesters parading around in front of the clinics with pictures of creepy fetuses and toting religious nonsense about whore-ish women?

Max might have been an awful jackass on many occasions, but he supports the work of Planned Parenthood. He said a clinic helped him and his girlfriend out back in the day when he didn’t have the riches and fame. Max even said his days of writing about wild parties and crazy sex are done, that he is retiring.

Whether you believe he is done with his wild days of being a jerk, celebrities that attempt to change their evil ways tend to be given the

chance to prove themselves true.

Yes, this means that Max is also using his donation to clean up his image a bit. But is it so terrible to do something nice, and also hope that those you are nice to would help you out a bit as well?

Maybe Planned Parenthood doesn’t need the money. With the repeated attacks from the GOP to cut funding to the clinics, perhaps the fine folks of America are ready and rearing to come to Planned Parenthood’s defense with repeated donations. Yeah, and maybe Ann Coulter, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum will change their mind on abortion.

Turning down this money is a poor play at politics. Those who support Planned Parenthood would not stop supporting the clinics because it accepted a donation from a celebrity many of the feminists that frequently rally around the clinics would call a misogynistic asshole. Planned Parenthood has been under fire, but this is hardly going to tarnish its image any further.

This isn’t a political campaign for office, where accepting a donation from the KKK or from known criminal elements would damage you down the road. Folks aren’t going to vote Planned Parenthood out of or into office; the clinics aren’t going away unless they lose funding.

Again, what person who supports Planned Parenthood is going to stop supporting it

because Tucker Max has a clinic named after him? The functions of the clinic will remain the same.

The treatment of the women will remain courteous and professional; policy at the clinic will not be based on Max’s style of abusive wordplay.

It could be suggested that Max go ahead and make an anonymous donation, losing the clinic being named after him, while still getting a tax break and helping out women.

Well, that was bandied about, and Planned Parenthood still rejected even an anonymous donation.

What this appears to be, is that those in charge of Planned Parenthood’s decisions don’t like Max because he has made some jokes about girls being fat or used the word “bitch” a few too many times. Planned Parenthood wants to look good to its “friends” and pass judgement over someone they probably only know about on a very surface level; pot calling the kettle maybe?

Planned Parenthood has a quality mission in mind, but to continue with that mission, it has to let others help — even when that help isn’t entirely altruistic.

In the end, Max has made donations to a number of other charities, and Planned Parenthood continues to struggle to keep clinics open and help women in need.

Racism

Train memories toward right and wrong “O

ne of the most time-consuming things,” said E.B. White, an American journalist and a regular contributor to the New Yorker magazine, “is to have an enemy.”

White’s inference, a befitting line to one of his many ardent writings of the ’60s, finds resonance with today’s realities in the context of human relations. In the question of race relations in human society, we have found a consoling excuse in making enemies under the guise of our differences of color and not as an AfricanAmerican preacher from Alabama once put it “on the content of our character.”

But who would care about what lies beneath our physique when there’s ready meat on how we look, talk, walk, smile, don our clothes or even do the things we do? Fast-forward to the curious case of Trayvon Martin. We now all know how the killing of this Florida teen by a neighborhood watch captain had divided the country on the question of relations and stolen the thunder from the would-be diligent debate on the law’s wrong-headedness. Now, we all know how we’ve made “enemies” with the other race. We now all know how politically correct it is to believe that George Zimmerman — the killer — is a beneficiary of his “whiteness” while Trayvon would still be with us, except he was black. We now know a lot of stuff.

What most of us have forgotten in our

By Benson.Amollo @iowastatedaily.com “collective” anger is that we are victims of the distinct territory we have given our “enemies” in our memory. For us, remembering is preparedness. We think only fools don’t remember their enemies. We are sensitive to stereotypes and quick to confront them with energies of our racial experiences. It is no wonder that one of the “ear-witnesses” to Martin’s shooting that fateful night has made remarks such as “he had seen some Trayvon-like dudes” in the neighborhood before. And if you’re Rev. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, what such remarks triggers are memories of the Old South — the enemy!

For African-Americans, their wholesome pin-pointing of race in Martin’s killing has everything to do with their memories of the enemy. While the defenders of Zimmerman, those who believe he acted in self-defense, are clouded by the stereotypes of a black male. They can spot a dangerous person (in their mind) in a black male, wearing a hoodie and “looking dangerous.” Theirs equally, are the memories

of the justifications that aided black oppression and segregation in the South and other parts of this great country.

Such enemy memories are usually accompanied by a flood of emotional images. It does the good job of exposing an America in disconnect and denial of the realities of her unwavering past. The kind of black consciousness that has set the tempo of agitation for justice for Martin speaks of America that is ways from dealing with the black and white issues of her divide. For blacks, one of the heaviest weights that oppression has left on their shoulders is simply the memory of itself. The memory is a burden which pulls the oppression forward and blinds the new victims from seeing any other dimensions of an issue. It complicates quick mitigations to an impasse that pits race against race.

For blacks, the enemy memory has made them soft targets, always ready to defend themselves. The reason why it makes little sense that Zimmerman is yet to see the inside of a jail while all evidence point to his dominating the scene of crime, irrespective of Florida’s barbaric self-defense law.

The biggest challenge which is already a failure is for leaders and policy people in racerelations to recognize the victim of enemymemory. For black Americans, their memory of oppression has such power, magnitude, depth

and nuance that it constantly drains their best resources into more defense than is strictly necessary. The energy, the oomph and the force with which the demand for justice over Trayvon’s killing has sometimes, gone beyond limits as to warrant a racist acclaim. Some black leaders have echoed sentiments that would easily make them racist and award the other race the victim’s seat.

Justice for Martin will surely arrive, but that does not end the statistics on black homicide.

That doesn’t mean we hang our boots and rest our case. There will be many more situations, some even more complicated than this. We must train our memories and inklings toward right and wrong and see beyond victim features that only seek to launch us on the bitter past.

Black leaders must learn to negotiate. We must claim a stake at the bargaining table — we can’t all be out there yelling.

Even though there are some anti-black sentiments in America, it is no longer as powerful as black memory wants it to be. Our memory makes us like the man who wears a heavy winter coat in springtime because he was frostbitten in winter. We must step into this time!

Classic rockers slam today’s ‘superficial pop scene’

G

ene Simmons has never met a microphone he didn’t like. The outspoken bassist and founder of legendary rock group KISS recently took a shot at the modern music scene during a concert announcement with Motley Crue.

The two iconic groups announced on March 20 that they would be touring North America, beginning on July 19. During the press conference, Simmons took aim the modern pop scene, namely Rihanna.

Simmons was quoted as saying, “We’re sick and tired of girls getting up there with dancers and karaoke tapes in the back of them. No karaoke singers allowed, no fake bullsh-t.

Leave that to Rihanna Shmianna and anyone else who ends their name with an A.” Readers of the Simmons interview can’t help but wonder who exactly he was referencing, and whether he meant to disparage Lady Gaga, Madonna or Kesha.

Tommy Lee echoed Simmons’ sentiment in an interview with Billboard stating that, “No disrespect to Rihanna, she’s a great singer, but we’re in a slump for some sh-t that has some personality and appeal

By Darrin.Cline @iowastatedaily.com beyond a bunch of pop stuff that’s floating around out there.”

Lee continued to address the state of popular music, interspersing F-bombs with trash talk about watered down performances, award shows and American Idol.

Calling out fellow musical acts is nothing new for Simmons. The rock god has boldly chastised artists ranging from Carlos Santana to Radiohead, and has been very vocal in his criticism of Simon Cowell.

Much of his criticism has emanated from the same frustrations, repeatedly questioning the true musical talents of other acts.

Simmons and Lee may not be right on with their universal panning of modern music, but if they are not far off base. Motley Crue and KISS rose to popularity in the golden age

of hard rock music, but have been forced to watch music steadily decline.

Rock and pop have always battled for music supremacy, with each pulling their own niche markets. Twentyfive albums have reached the 15 million sold plateau, with six of them being true rock albums, including works by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and Guns N’ Roses.

Conversely, the Backstreet Boys had two records that each sold over 13 million copies, and Britney Spears “ …Baby One More Time” album surpassed 12 million sold. Since Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” climbed to number one in 1980, only Linkin Park has been able to hit number one with a hard rock album, doing so in 2001.

Rock music today may lack the consistent quality of KISS and Motley Crue, but it is not a total wasteland. From the 1990s and into the early 2000s, great bands continued to churn out music. Nirvana changed culture, Rage Against the Machine gave hard rock a new political activism, and Metallica became the biggest thing to ever happen to metal.

However, these groups, as well as their predecessors seemed to be swept under the rug as bubblegum pop moved like a plague through the industry. Combined with the growing popularity of rap and country-pop cross over acts, rock music seemed to stall out and fade away.

Dave Grohl, lead singer of Foo Fighters, said in an interview with Rolling Stone that, “radio rock has been suffering from some sort of formulaic-playlist syndrome…Radio should not be warm milk. It should be moonshine.” In spite of his criticisms, Grohl went on to cap off the interview stating that “Rock and roll doesn’t need to be saved. It’s alive and well…”

Grohl has seen the highs and lows of rock popularity, and his band has become a major player in the revival of rock. The Foo Fighters were nominated for Album of the Year at the 2012 Grammy’s, being edged by the deserving Adele. The return to glory by many 1990’s bands has been the bright spots for music. Stone Temple Pilots returned with their self titled album in 2010, and fellow “grunge” band Soundgraden is expected to re-

lease their long awaited sixth studio album sometime in 2012.

Much like it did in the 1990s, the alternative rock scene has been one area that has thrived, and though they may not show the tenacity of the classic hard rock bands, they are helping to reinvigorate music. The Black Keys have catapulted to a new level of stardom and bands like Mumford and Sons have no use for karaoke tapes. Even pop music has trended upward. Adele and Kelly Clarkson have each produced number one hits in 2012, and Fun has dominated the Billboard charts for the past four weeks.

Simmons makes a fair point, but Rihanna is the unfair victim. The 24 year old superstar stands above many of her peers in talent and versatility. KISS and Motley Crue are right, modern music is still in disarray, but I’d much rather hear the legends be part of the solution than comment on the problem.

Letter to the Editor

Be responsible, cut down on daily water usage Out of 100 cans of beer, 97 are flat. Two of the remaining three are frozen. The remaining can is all you have for the party. Would that one can really sustain you throughout the night?

More than 97 percent of all water on Earth is undrinkable. More than 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. According to the World Water Council, 2.6 billion lack appropriate sanitation.

How long did you spend in the shower this morning? Many people don’t even know or realize they use around 75 gallons each day in the shower alone.

Water has always been seen as a common resource that is always constant. This isn’t the case in many parts of the world.

We are lucky in Ames. We have water drawn from an aquifer and a treatment plant to remove impurities. To prepare for future water needs, the city is implementing a new treatment plant. Each plant can treat 12 million gallons per day. In Ames,

Casey Johnson is a junior in environmental

science.

we average around 6.5 million. During the dry months, we have gotten very close to the 12 million gallons per day.

In the past, when we were beginning to reach high levels of water use, the city would post notices in the paper.

These notices no longer work. This is indicative of the fact that our habits and mindset have changed. Instead of a communal resource with a shared responsibility, water has become something to be exploited.

There are things you can do to help. If you use an energy-efficient showerhead, you use around 22.5 gallons per shower. If you cut down your shower by one minute, you save five gallons. This can cut down

on heating and water bills. The average shower length of surveyed ISU students is 13.4 minutes. Of these students, 92 percent were willing to buy a lowflow showerhead, but only 76 percent were willing to shorten their showers.

Some people stated they didn’t care about water waste because they didn’t pay individually for water.

Where has the responsibility gone? Are people more willing to implement changes in their house so their habits don’t need to change?

About half of Ames’ population is students at Iowa State. Be conscious of your water use. The university has a big role in the overall water use in Ames. Try to think how long you take in the shower.

Do you leave water running while you brush your teeth? How often do you leave the water running to “warm it up”? If we can all cut down on our daily usage, any future problems can mitigated. It is a matter of personal responsibility. We all have a part to play.

>>PHILANTHROPY.p4 Maybe some celebrity with a spotless record of being “Mr. Nice Guy” will step in — Will Smith maybe? — to save the day. Though I’m willing to bet if Lady Gaga offered to donate, Planned Parenthood wouldn’t turn her down, despite the sexual and wild party-like overtones to her music. That is just speculation, however, on my part.

Here’s to hoping Planned Parenthood gets its “white knight” before anything else bad happens.

Report finds Baylor went over limits on calls, texts WACO, Texas (AP) — Less than a week after its women’s basketball team won the national championship, Baylor said Monday it has been involved with a three-year investigation with the NCAA into what are believed to be hundreds of impermissible phone calls and text messages sent by coaches to young prospects.

The school did not describe any details of the investigation, including which sports were involved, but the announcement came a few hours after ESPN. com reported that coaches for both the men’s and women’s basketball programs had made more than 1,200 calls and text messages to prospects over a 29-month span dating to 2008.

ESPN.com cited an NCAA report it had obtained.

The NCAA may dole out harsher punishment that what is listed in the report, which details a number of self-imposed penalties including barring women’s coach Kim Mulkey from recruiting off campus in July and fewer scholarships for both programs.

NBA:

The Associated Press

Odom done playing for Mavericks DALLAS (AP) — Lamar Odom is done after 50 games in Dallas, a mutual decision that comes with the defending NBA champion Mavericks trying to make sure they get back in the playoffs this year.

General manager Donnie Nelson said Monday it has been a difficult year for Odom, the team and the fans.

“The timing is what it is. These things never come at the best of times, so we felt with the playoff push coming up it was probably in everyone’s interest,” Nelson said. “Look, it’s been a frustrating situation.

Lamar hasn’t performed like he wants to perform, is capable of performing. He’s dealt with a lot of personal issues, and at this point, we need to be able to count on some folks. It’s never easy to do these things. We just need to move on.“ Odom has been placed on the inactive list and will not play for the Mavericks, who have nine games left the regular season and are seventh in the Western Conference standings.

Illustration: Ryan Francois/Iowa State Daily Departures and arrivals in the Big 12’s tennis scene won’t affect competition as a whole or travel costs, for Iowa State at least.

Big 12 serves up change Editor’s note:

This is the fourth part of an eight-part series about how Big 12 realignment affects non-revenue sports at Iowa State.

Part 4 focuses on the tennis team. Part 5, on golf, will publish Wednesday.

By Michael.Schmitt @iowastatedaily.com With conference realignment taking place, the Big 12 Conference will lose a powerhouse — Texas A&M — that has combined for five conference championships in both men’s and women’s tennis.

But with the addition of Texas Christian University and West Virginia, the Big 12 will not lose any level of competition for its remaining members.

While the loss of the Texas A&M hurts the conference overall, losing Missouri affects Iowa State even more.

“Missouri was our travel partner,” said ISU assistant coach Rodrigo Puebla. “So we go to Oklahoma and we play them and Oklahoma State, then Missouri will play them as well.”

Missouri doesn’t have a men’s tennis team and hasn’t won any championships in women’s.

The Aggies have won four tournament championships and one regular-season championship in men’s tennis.

In women’s, they have won one regular-season championship and have won the tournament once as well. “[Texas A&M is] good, they’re really good, and I think TCU is always

really good, so it’s going to compensate; it’s not going to be any easier because they’re leaving,” said ISU senior Maria Fernanda Macedo.

Macedo “And with Missouri, they are the match that we always have a chance to win, that we are supposed to win.”

T h e Mountaineers will assume the Tigers’ role as the Cyclones’ Puebla travel partner, so when Iowa State travels to Oklahoma to play Oklahoma State and Oklahoma, West Virginia will play those teams as well.

“The only problem I see with that is West Virginia being so far — I think you have to fly into Pittsburgh and then drive three or four hours,” Puebla said. “It is going to affect the way they travel for other teams.”

However, Puebla said it won’t affect anything budget-wise.

The teams coming and going also will affect other teams in the league as far as travel partners go as well.

Texas A&M is currently travel partners with Texas, but once the Aggies leave the Longhorns will be travel partners with Texas Tech while Baylor will be TCU’s new travel partner.

With TCU and West Virginia joining, the Big 12 will gain one top 75 program and another that is rebuilding. TCU is ranked No. 41 in the most recent poll in women’s tennis and just

dropped out of the poll for men’s.

The TCU women’s tennis team has won three Mountain West regular-season championships along with three tournament championships, with the most recent coming in the 2008-09 season.

The TCU men’s tennis team is close behind with three conference tournament championships and two regular-season championships, with its most recent being the conference tournament in the 2009-10 season.

The West Virginia women’s tennis team is struggling this year, but Puebla said he thinks the Mountaineers can turn it around.

“There’s not going to be any changes on that part, but I bet you West Virginia is going to get better anyway,” Puebla said. “They can turn that program around in a year, they’re

going to get better.”

Akin to Iowa State, West Virginia doesn’t have a men’s tennis team, so the total number of men’s tennis teams in the Big 12 will stay even at six, whereas for women it will stay at 10 teams.

“The conference realignment will affect us, but West Virginia, from what I’ve heard, isn’t as strong of a tennis school as Missouri or Texas A&M,” said ISU sophomore Emma Waites. “But TCU is pretty good, so it’ll be new competition, it’ll definitely be a challenge.”

Although the Big 12 will be losing two quality teams, there won’t be much of a drop-off in talent with the addition of TCU and West Virginia.

With six of next year’s teams ranked in the top 75, the future of the conference looks bright.

Coaching staff focuses on consistency

By Michael.Schmitt @iowastatedaily.com The ISU tennis team was expected to win Friday versus Missouri, but its hopes were dashed in a 6-1 loss.

Going home with a result the team wasn’t expecting wasn’t easy, but the players and coaches said they won’t let it set them back.

“It was a rough meet because we had really high expectations; this was a match we really thought we were going to win,” said ISU senior Maria Fernanda Macedo. “It was a tough loss, but we just need to keep working and keep learning from it. We played a little bit better in doubles, so that was good.”

Although the team didn’t win its meet Friday, there are a few positives for the team.

The Cyclones (3-15, 0-5 Big 12) won one of its three doubles matches on Friday after being swept in the two previous meets. Doubles play has been a point of emphasis for the team all season long and especially last week when the team had time off.

Along with winning a doubles match, the team won a singles match and came close in a few others.

“One of the things that the team is taking from Friday is strategies and to keep doing in the match what we’ve been working on in practice,” said ISU sophomore Simona Cacciuttolo. “All the pressure

you have when you play a match takes away from what you have.”

ISU assistant coach Rod Puebla said one of the biggest things the team needs to focus on is consistency and having every player ready.

“We’re one match away, we win one match and extend the match to three sets and you know it could have been a 5-2 or 4-3,” Puebla said. “We have to find that day that everybody’s going to be playing the same way.”

The team is playing better as individuals, but Puebla said it still needs to play more as a team in doubles.

“Sometimes we just have people playing up and down, so we don’t have the consistency,” Puebla said. “We are playing a lot better as a team, we are competing the best that we can in singles.

Doubles we got a little better, but we still might make some changes by the end of the week.”

Depending on if Kansas State receives a ranking when the new rankings are released Tuesday, Iowa State may be facing its seventh ranked opponent in a row Friday. The Cyclones have played six ranked opponents in a row and will still play at least two more this season.

The meet against Kansas State is set to start at 2 p.m.

Friday, and the meet against Kansas will begin at noon Sunday.

Baseball

Cyclones drop 3 conference games to Panthers

By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com

File photo: Nicole Wiegand/Iowa State Daily ISU Club Baseball pitcher Nick Wells delivers the ball during the first inning of play during the Cyclones’ game against Iowa on April 1 at the Southwest Athletic Complex. Iowa State suffered three losses to in-state rival Northern Iowa this weekend.

I think I almost thought he was joking. The next time he says it again and I was like, ‘If you’re confident.’”

Aaron Hinnah

The ISU Club Baseball team suffered two conference losses last Saturday to its in-state rival Northern Iowa.

The team picked up one conference win and lost its nonconference game against the Panthers (7-5, 4-5 Mid-America Conference North) on Sunday. The scores of the conference games were 9-2 and 12-2 in favor of Northern Iowa and 11-4 in favor of Iowa State. The nonconference game was won by Northern Iowa by a score of 21-17.

The Cyclones (5-7, 4-6 Mid-America Conference North) lost the first game of the four-game series by a score of 9-2 despite ISU catcher Phil Johnson stealing home in the fourth inning.

Johnson started the at-bat by getting a single on a play where Mitch Gerber was called out at second base and Johnson was safe at first. After stealing second base and Adam Schmidt was walked, Johnson advanced to third base on a single by Dalton Hauer.

“The pitcher had a really slow windup delivery and I was kind of timing it a little. I was getting about halfway down the line before he started throwing,” Johnson said. “I got a good

lead, got out and I timed it just perfectly with the start of his motion and I was able to slide in under the tag. [It was a] huge adrenaline rush for me; that’s the first time I’ve ever done that.”

ISU student-coach Aaron Hinnah said he left the decision to steal home up to Johnson.

“I think I almost thought he was joking,” Hinnah said. “The next time he says it again and I was like, ‘If you’re confident.’”

Johnson was 1-for-3 in the first game against the Panthers. Senior Ben Butler was the starting pitcher and got the loss. He gave up three earned runs.

In game two, Dillan Dwyer, who was coming fresh off of a no-hitter against Iowa the weekend before, only lasted one inning before being pulled out of the game. He walked five batters, three of whom he hit. He gave up seven total runs, five earned.

Hinnah pitched game three and got the win, while only allowing two runs.

Softball

Drake presents next challenge after upset of Aggies

The ISU softball team is set to travel to Des Moines to face in-state rival Drake for the final time this season.

The Cyclones (12-24, 1-8 Big 12) will try to build momentum after their recent 2-1 upset victory against No. 14 Texas A&M. “I thought that, really, Tori [Torrescano] threw well,” said coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler. “I thought that she looked confident, which she should be. I talked to her before the game about how much confidence I had in her. But it really doesn’t matter what I’m thinking, it matters what she

thinks.”

In the upset win, Torrescano threw all seven innings only allowing three hits and one run.

“Tori just did phenomenal,” said ISU designated player Sara Rice. “I think Tori has what it takes to pitch a great game. Sometimes she has it and sometimes she doesn’t, and today she had it.”

While Torrescano was in the circle pitching, her teammate Rice ended up being the hero of the game as she hit the RBI double in the bottom of the fifth, scoring a run that gave Iowa State the lead for good.

“That was amazing,” Torrescano said of Rice’s dou-

ble. “She had been having great at-bats all day and she was just seeing the ball.”

The Cyclones will next face Drake (16-19, 8-4 MVC), who they have already faced twice this season, losing 9-0 in the preseason and winning 1-0 on March 28.

In the win against the Bulldogs, sophomore ISU pitcher Taylor Smith threw seven scoreless innings while only allowing three hits in the shutout.

“I think the big thing is I go back to last weekend against [Texas] Tech on Sunday,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “I thought we competed really well there and did a great job.

And Creighton was a good

game, so I think it’s coming we just need to keep on building off of what we’ve Rice been doing and just go forward.”

After a six-game win streak that lasted from March 17 to 25, Drake has regressed and is currently on a three-game losing streak.

“I think we just have to remember we can compete with everyone,” Torrescano said.

“We competed with Tech, we competed a few games against Texas and we finally beat A&M. These are good teams,

our conference has really good teams, so it says something when we play right with them.

So we just have to remember

that into our nonconference games.”

Action is set to begin at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Des Moines.

OPTICAL OPTICAL illusions illusions

Expect twists and turns at the Fashion Show 2012

By Allie Butler ISD Style Writer

Wondering what’s in store for you at this year’s show? More than your eyes could ever imagine. This year is filled with twists and turns at every stop. From color, lights, emphasis, motion and pattern, this show will leave no desire unmet.

Set directors Averie Hennessey and Miekta Head divulge some of the details to come on Saturday. “Optical Illusions,” the theme of the entire show, was a blessing for these two directors.

“This year’s theme is out of the box and pushes the envelope. Illusions use shape and form to play with the eye, as does design, so we wanted to connect both fashion

This year focuses on high contrast, hard geometrics and a raw, somewhat urban feel. While these are polar opposites, they both shined in their own light. One similarity? The classic white runway.

“There are lots of surprises, lots of color and lots of eye play,” Hennessey said.

“We want [the audience] to have enough stimulation from the set without taking away from the actual designs themselves.

That is what a fashion show is all about, let’s not forget.”

The directors’ hope is for the audience to be intrigued and inspired, tapping into everyone’s creative side. “Most of all, we hope the show is remembered, not just the set but the Fashion Show 2012 itself,” Hennessey said.

and misapprehension as forms of art,” said Hennessey, senior in psychology.

By taking simple structures and creating illusions through dimension and space, the set began to come to life. “This is difficult since each view from the audience is different, but we have high hopes for the execution of our idea,” Hennessey said.

Last year’s theme couldn’t be more opposite from this one. “Anthropology,” which focused on human-environment interaction, was last year’s focus.

“We used recycled materials, environmentally centered aesthetics and more of a calming ambiance,” remembered Hennessey, a set tech committee member at the time.

By Dallas Daws ISD Style Writer

Fashion Week has arrived at Iowa State, leading up to the 30th annual Fashion Show on Saturday in Stephens Auditorium. With activities going on every day, there is sure to be something for everyone.

MONDAY

For students who like music and treats, head out to Central Campus from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to enjoy ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery and a musical performance by Bull of Arc. What could be better than satisfying that sweet tooth and listening to feel-good music to take a break from classes?

TUESDAY

“The Devil Wears Prada” will be playing from 7 to 9 p.m. in 1652 Gilman Hall to give ISU fashionistas an early fashion fix.

WEDNESDAY

Students can show their competitive side by modifying an old Fashion Show T-shirt either solo or in teams of two. Entries will be put on Facebook, and the team with the most likes will win a pair of tickets to the Fashion Show 2012.

THURSDAY

The Fashion Show is hosting “A Girl’s Night In,” which will include crafts, makeup tips and cupcake decorating courtesy of Cupcake Emporium. The main event of the night will be a spring mini-fashion show for Lyla’s Boutique in Lebaron Lounge from 7 to 9 p.m.

FRIDAY

Join the action by participating in a social media scavenger hunt on Facebook and Twitter. There will be chances to win Sequin NYC jewelry and more tickets to the Fashion Show 2012. Haven’t gotten tickets yet? This is the perfect chance to score seats to the show.

SATURDAY

Students’ work is judged weeks prior to show

Finally, the week leads up to the Fashion Show 2012. Held in Stephens Auditorium, the doors will open at 6 p.m., and the show will start at 7 p.m. Designer and ISU alumnus Todd Snyder will be featured as the guest designer, and the apparel students’ work will be showcased. Grab those tickets through Ticketmaster or the ISU Ticket Office. Prices are $16 for students and $22 for everyone else.

Behind the glitz and glamour of the Fashion Show 2012, the heart of the event is a juried competition that pits ISU fashion designers against one another.

The results were decided in March, weeks ahead of the final runway show, but the winners remain fiercely guarded by the few organizers on a need-to-know basis.

This year’s judges came from far and wide. One judge came from as far away as the United Kingdom. This judge is Basia Szkutnicka who comes from the London College of Fashion.

Szkutnicka, whose roles range from areas such as university administrating to trend forecasting, functioned as the judging panel’s general creative type.

A wide range of credibilities allowed Szkutnicka to make remarks that, though seemingly vague, reflect the strong opinions and those hard-to-define qualities that define and exemplify good high fashion.

“It takes three seconds to look at the collection,” Szkutnicka said, “to tell if it has it or hasn’t have it.”

While impressed by Iowa State’s students, Szkutnicka is used to working with internationally acclaimed fashion schools where it’s commonplace to find innovative, fresh design.

Finding it in a place like Ames, she says, is more exciting and unexpected. That said, however, she does have advice for future fashion designers.

“I’d like to see a few more risks in design handwriting,” Szkutnicka said. “I’m always looking five years ahead.”

The three other judges are all ISU alumni. These judges specialized in different areas of fashion. Dana Bohlen, a senior technical designer at Target, focused her critiques on the construction of each garment.

While some of the garments submitted were feathery flights of fancy, the judges made sure to look for pieces that were not only artistically minded, but commercially minded as well.

Photo courtesy of Allie Butler Judges evaluate garment submissions to the Fashion Show 2012. This year’s judges came from as far away as London with Basia Szkutnicka, from the London College of Fashion.

“It’s not good enough to be creative,” Bohlen said. “It has to be technically sound as well.”

Emily Hall, childrenswear designer at American Eagle’s 77kids, evaluated designers on their commercial appeal.

She lent her expertise designing apparel from a creative standpoint.

“Strong color can really make or break a garment,” Hall said.

Lindsay Hillyard-Driscoll, a celebrity stylist with past clients as well known as Prince, Jay-Z and B.O.B., added her insight gained from working with media and musical artists.

“I look for the potential of how it can be styled and how it’d work on different artists,” Hillyard-Driscoll said. “The fit has to be important. It has to look amazing on the runway, and it has to be on the right body.”

Of the scores of students involved during judging day, perhaps none were as underappreciated as the more than 60 models saddled with the task of silently and gracefully standing before the panel while the judges fired off criticism of the clothes they displayed.

“It’s a small room,” said model Lauryn Stromberg, freshman in apparel, merchandising and design, “and they’re staring at your clothes, critiquing them, but sometimes it feels like they’re staring, judging you.”

The winning garments , as well as the models who wore them will take to the runway at 7 p.m. Saturday at Stephens Auditorium.

Studio 7 Salon and Spa provides hair, makeup

By Lauren Lindeman ISD Style Writer

With preparation for the Fashion Show in full swing, everyone’s buckling down getting everything perfected for the big day on Saturday. The theme this year is “Optical Illusions,” and a huge part of achieving this look is not only with the gorgeous garments created by students, but also with the hair and makeup.

Studio 7 Salon and Spa has been a vital part in the Fashion Show for the past four years in making these looks possible. Krista Harvey-Wrage, the owner of Studio 7 Salon and Spa, looks forward to participating in the behind-thescenes of the show every year.

When asked why she wants to continue in doing the hair and makeup for the show, HarveyWrage replied by saying, “We love working with the committee to come up with a look that fits their theme. Doing work like this allows us to step out of our normal environment and do some editorial work. It stretches our technical skills.

I have a team behind me that have the same goals desiring to be the best at bringing the trends and the high fashion magazine looks to Iowa.”

She also said her favorite part of being so involved is the before and after of the show.

“I love planning for it and watching the looks evolve into what the final product will be,” Harvey-Wrage said. “The day of the show, we all have our game face on. It gets serious and we work hard in that super hot, bright, model-filled room.

Photo courtesy of Alex Egeland Studio 7 Salon and Spa works as a vital part of the Fashion Show 2012 by doing all the models’ hair and makeup. Before the day of the show, they do several test runs to get it right.

After we are all done and we get to see the models in the garments, it’s a beautiful feeling.”

The majority of the stylists, as well as two aestheticians, get involved in this production, so a total of 12 talented technicians make up the team that gets the models ready to strut down the runway portraying the designated look of the show. This year is a newer experience for the stylists and models as the theme is “illusions” and the goal is to create the same look for all of the models, which is different from past years where there have been a variation of different looks for each of the models.

Harvey-Wrage explained that the look will consist of “a really cool, smooth ponytail with a splash of color. The models will have doll eyes with an ombre lip. It’s not an animated look though; we made sure that it stays sensible and flattering.”

A huge part of working behind the scenes and perfecting the look is making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Harvey-Wrage shared some of the stylists’ tips and tricks of making sure the day goes as smooth as possible.

“We practice several weeks before on different models and prep for the show by ordering all our supplies ahead of time,” she said.

“I go to Stephen’s Auditorium the night before and set up our work stations.

The modeling directors are also really great at sending me all the model headshots and working with our needs.

“Every year, I forget something or run out of something though. That is why I always have my husband, Scott, on call ready to take action if needed. Our system gets more and more efficient each show though. It’s a great rush and worth every hour of practice, prep and work.”

Show designers tell all

By Mollie Shirley ISD Style Writer

After slaving away on garments for nearly a semester, the designers of the Fashion Show 2012 are anxious to see their garments on the runway of one of the largest student-run shows in the country. Their long hours of designing, patternmaking, sewing and even some injuries (one designer sewed right over her finger) are about to all be worth it come Saturday night.

Iowa native Anna Moody has always known that she wanted to be in the fashion field in one way or another. “My mom used to tell me that when I was little, I would sneak off and change my outfit like three times a day,” Moody said.

As a senior who also had garments in last year’s show, Moody hopes to own her own store in the future.

Sophomore Laura Talken dreams of one day designing for Givenchy and expanding her own brand, Ell Tee. Although this is her first time entering garments into the Fashion Show, Talken began sewing at age 11 and is no rookie when it comes to designing clothes.

“Once I learned how to sew, I made every dress for every occasion possible,” she said. “When I unknowingly turned my family’s dining room into a design studio, I knew that fashion design was the only career choice for me.”

Annihka Murray, a se-

nior from Fort Collins, Colo., is incredibly passionate about fashion.

“I like the idea that fashion takes a basic human need and elevates it to an art form,” she said. “Clothing is a part of everyone’s day-to-day life, but it has the ability to reflect so much about society, culture, art and personal identity.”

Murray has had garments in the Fashion Show in the past, but she is particularly excited to see her senior line hit the runway Saturday.

All designers can agree on one thing: The first step in creating a line is finding inspiration. Murray found inspiration in something often overlooked by most designers: a drop cloth.

“The salvaged drop cloth has a layered pattern, containing the accidental, collective contributions of all the fiber artists who worked in the lab over the years,” Murray said. “The dimensionality of this material inspired the concept for the entire line: a kaleidoscope of textures, colors and shapes interacting in a serendipitous manner.”

Talken finds her inspiration in the female figure. “I like to make garments that extenuate the sexiest part of any women’s body: her back,” Talken said.

Old Hollywood glam was what inspired Moody’s gowns. She looked at the styles of dresses women wore when Hollywood was up and coming. “I decided to use deep red polyester

satin and an ivory charmeuse because when I think of ‘glam,’ I think of red, and when I think of ‘elegance,’ I think of ivory,” Moody said.

Both Murray and Moody traveled to Minneapolis to buy some of their fabric at S.R. Harris.

Talken stuck with her favorite fabric store back home, Kaplan’s.

“Every time I walk in, Allen greets me with a huge hug. He has a picture of every dress I have made using his fabric, from sixth grade all the way until recently,” Talken said. “I love his fabrics because they are truly the best silks, wools, leathers and cottons you can find.”

Entering garments into the Fashion Show is a time-consuming process. “Not only do you have to completely design, patternmake, drape and then sew the garments on your own, you must also fit the garments to each model,” Talken said.

Next, a panel of industry members will judge the garments and provide feedback.

Being part of such a huge production is a great way for designers to get their names and ideas out in the industry. Friends and families are traveling from near and far to see the finished products on the catwalk.

Anticipation of the Fashion Show 2012 has never been higher, now that ISU Fashion Week is in full throttle.

Be sure to keep an eye out for Murray, Talken and Moody’s collections on the runway this Saturday.

We’re positive they will be hard to miss.

Meet the models

By Kayla Kienzle ISD Style Writer

Without models, the Iowa State Fashion Show would not be able to be brought to life. After being selected in the fall, models have been putting in the hours to perfect walks, turns and poses in order to make the clothes look their best during the runway walk. While the Fashion Show is put on by the textiles and clothing department at Iowa State, models come from all areas of campus. Here’s a closeup of models in this year’s show.

Eric Carter

Eric Carter heard about the Fashion Show long before he came to Iowa State and knew he wanted to give modeling a try upon his arrival. “Modeling is something that I’ve done, but I’ve never done a runway fashion show before, so I wanted to give it a try,” Carter said.

The junior in fashion merchandising wanted to learn new skills about runway modeling. Gaining experience seemed like the best option. Through practicing, Carter has taken away many tips for the runway.

“Learning the walk steps and the counts and poses we have to know for a walk are what I have learned the most,” Carter said.

This is Carter’s first year modeling for the show, but he feels he is just as well prepared those with experience. “In my opinion, it’s the same because we learn new walks and the new models come with a different look than those that have been in it for a year or more,” Carter said.

He also thinks the models have not only learned from coaches and instructors, but also each other. “Those that have been there for a year or more can teach us what they have learned from the past,” Carter said. On Saturday, Carter will be modeling menswear. He hopes the show will be a stepping stone for a future career in modeling after college.

Katherine Menard

Illustration courtesy of Annihka Murray Annihka Murray, senior in apparel merchandising and design production, has had garments in the Fashion Show in the past, but says she is especially excited for this year.

Katherine Menard loves the glamour of the fashion industry and enjoys playing with her personal style. Getting trained for modeling, while wearing ISU stu-

dents’ garments seemed like the perfect combination for her. Menard, sophomore in journalism and mass communication, was familiar with the show, since her roommate works on the set tech.

Although her major isn’t directly related to the fashion industry, Menard is excited for the show. “Knowing that I’m going to live like a model the day of the show gets me excited even if it is just for fun,” Menard said.

This is her first year, and Menard admits the time commitment was more than she expected. “Every other Sunday, we have our modeling crash course from 4 to 6 p.m., and at various times during the semester we’re expected to work with our designers,” she said.

Menard will take what she has learned from practice into the “real world.” “I learned how to do natural makeup as well as different walking and posing styles, not to mention extra practice walking in my heels,” Menard said.

Working with the show has inspired Menard as well. “Being a part of this has been a great way for me to be excited about my style, as I see the designers developing innovative ideas,” she said. “It inspires me to be risky and step outside the box. Life is too short to be boring with your clothes.”

Emma Garner

Emma Garner is in her second year modeling for the Fashion Show. This year, Garner decided to not only model, but also join the modeling committee.

“I help the models learn their choreography, decide what hair and makeup styles we want for the show and more,” Garner said.

Garner is a junior in apparel, merchandising and design and enjoys the fastpaced and fun environment the fashion industry provides. “Getting involved with the fashion show has really reassured me that I am in the right major,” Garner said.

Although Garner has gained a vast amount of experience that will prepare her for a future career, she has also made many friends.

“Not only have I gotten to know the models, but our modeling committee has gotten very close; we go out to dinner for committee/director bonding,” Garner said.

Exercise

Genetics could play role in anorexia athletica

By Leah Hansen Special to the Daily Health experts agree that exercise is good for the body. However, some people may be taking exercise a step too far.

Anorexia athletica, or compulsive exercise, can affect anyone. A person with anorexia athletica does not enjoy working out anymore but feels obligated to exercise.

Individuals with anorexia athletica repeatedly exercise past the need for health benefits. They are obsessed with their weight and diet. They may try to explain their behavior by defining themselves as a special or elite athlete.

“The problem with anorexia athletica is that exercise becomes part of the problem, so the perception of

exercise is also problematic,” said Panteleimon Ekkekakis, professor of exercise psychology. “You have to go to counseling and education to re-teach from the beginning what healthy exercise is; what exercise can do for you health, for your well-being, for your fitness; but then also explain that there has to be a balance and then explain if that balance has disrupted what the consequences are. There are consequences for your muscles, immune system, cardiovascular system and cognitive system.”

Side effects of anorexia athletica are constant tiredness, depression, anxiety, injuries to muscles (when not allowed time to rest), stress on the heart muscle and, in extreme cases, death.

Currently, psychologists do not know the cause of anorexia athletica.

It is thought that there is a combination of biological and psychological factors that predispose someone to a disorder such as this.

“I’m a strong believer in the influence of social factors ... In my personal experiences, it was a combination of parents who did not have a cognitive filter and did not understand the possible consequences of their criticisms so they would reflect their own insecurities on their children and pressures from peers,” Ekkekakis said.

“Beyond social factors, I also believe that there might be a genetic basis.

Genetics influence a lot of the things about the function of the brain.

“We do accept that there is genetic predisposition for depression, susceptibility for stress, and I think we also have to accept that there might be genetic predisposition for

cognitive appraisals that may be dysfunctional.”

Someone with anorexia athletica typically does not see their exercise habits as problematic.

They see them as necessary to keep up with the current stereotypes of thin and fit.

Striving toward the unattainable goal of perfection is what anorexia athletica sufferers deal with every day. They see the need for thinness or perfect muscle tone.

“At times, people thought that the main cause was perfectionism and some form of obsessive compulsive disorder,” Ekkekakis said. “There were some studies that came out and showed an association and then they were discounted.”

Anorexia athletica causes an individual to feel the need to skip so-

cial events to go work out. This is one major warning sign of the disorder.

Anorexia athletica is often accompanied by anorexia nervosa or bulimia.

Treatment for anorexia athletica can be given at a primary care physician’s office or an eating disorders treatment facility.

“I would suggest that someone struggling with overexercising start by making an appointment here at [Student Counseling Service] — they can do that either by calling or stopping by the front desk,” said Kate Sirridge, licensed psychologist at ISU Student Counseling Service. “We offer individual therapy focused on eating disorders here and we also offer group treatment for people who struggle with all types of eating issues including anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorders.”

‘Sextortion’ case against Indiana man could become largest of its kind in U.S.

By Charles Wilson The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — Investigators are trying to identify hundreds of potential victims whose images were found on the computer of an Indiana man charged with coercing two teenage boys into performing online sex acts for him by threatening to post on gay porn sites compromising videos he secretly made of them.

U.S. Attorney Joe Hogsett said during a Monday news conference that the “sextortion” case against Richard Leon Finkbiner could become the largest of its kind in the U.S. to date.

Finkbiner, 39, was arrested Friday and faces two preliminary counts of sexually exploiting a child. He remained

in custody Monday and has a detention hearing scheduled for Wednesday.

During questioning by FBI agents, Finkbiner estimated that he had coerced at least 100 young people into making explicit videos, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Terre Haute.

Hogsett said investigators found “thousands” of explicit images on Finkbiner’s hard drive, mostly of teenage boys.

“We are fearful that it could involve hundreds of individuals not just here in Indiana but across the country,” Hogsett said. Authorities released a mug shot of him Monday, hoping that other potential victims will come forward.

“Mr. Finkbiner has focused his attention on what appear to be young men be-

tween the ages of 14 to 16,” Hogsett said.

The preliminary charges pertain to Finkbiner’s alleged extortion of two 14-year-old boys, one in Maryland and the other in Michigan. Prosecutors say he surreptitiously recorded videos of the boys exposing themselves on webcam chat sites and threatened to post them and the boys’ identities on gay porn sites unless the boys performed sexual acts for him via webcam.

“So u wanna play or b a famous gay porn star?” he allegedly asked the Michigan boy.

The boy told Finkbiner he was underage and pleaded with him to delete the recording, the complaint says. “u know that I under age and that is against the law and u could be arrested for this.”

Facebook spends $1 billion to buy photo-sharing app

By Barbara Ortutay The Associated Press NEW YORK — Facebook is spending $1 billion to buy the photo-sharing company Instagram in the social network’s largest acquisition ever.

On the surface, that’s a huge sum for a tiny startup that has a handful of employees and no way to make money.

But the lack of a business model rarely dampens excitement about hot tech upshots these days. As Facebook has shown, itself without ads or revenue in its early days, money goes where the users are.

Instagram lets people share photos they snap with their mobile devices. The app has filters that can make photos look as if they’ve been taken in the 1970s or on Polaroid cameras. Its users take photos of everything from their breakfast to sunsets to the smiling faces of their girlfriends.

In a little more than a year, Instagram attracted a loyal and loving user base of more than 30 million people. Apple picked it as the iPhone App of the Year in 2011.

Instagram’s fans, brand recognition and its potential are difficult to put a price tag on. Yet Facebook has — and can afford it. The company is preparing for an initial public offering of stock that could value it at as much as $100 billion in a few weeks. What’s $1 billion? A drop in the bucket, really.

“Facebook after this IPO is

going to be in a position to be predatory. They can make sure no one steps in their way and buy anyone who gets in their way,” said Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, who follows social media.

Buying Instagram, he added, not only eliminates a rival but gives Facebook the technology “that is gaining crazy traction.”

Facebook is paying cash and stock for San Franciscobased Instagram and hiring its dozen or so employees. The deal is expected to close by the end of June.

It’s a windfall not just for Instagram’s employees, but the venture capital firms backing the company.

Last week, Sequoia Capital led an investment round that valued Instagram at $500 million, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Going by the $1 billion price tag, Facebook is paying about $33 for each Instagram user. That’s a fraction of the $118 that Facebook investors will be paying per Facebook user if the company gets its expected $100 billion valuation after going public. By that math, Pachter said, $1 billion “doesn’t sound crazy.”

Getting Instagram is a big win for Facebook as it works to harness people’s growing obsession with their mobile devices.
