Police prepare for VEISHEA weekend By Kaitlin.York iowastatedaily.com
Bars offer free soda for non-drinkers
Beginning this weekend, sober drivers will be able to get free soda at designated bars in Ames through a program called Sodas4Sobers, which was started by GSB members. Graphic: Samantha Barbour/Iowa State Daily
By Whitney.Sager iowastatedaily.com Designated drivers and sober friends can drink for free. Drink soda, that is. The Sodas 4 Sobers project, started by GSB members, encourages bars in Ames to serve soda for free to designated drivers and sober friends. Students out celebrating VEISHEA this weekend can take advantage of the program, as it is up and running. The purpose of the program is to promote
safer drinking habits among ISU students. Jordan Lass, former GSB chief of staff and sophomore in history, said the program creates a “win-win” situation. “It encourages people to have that sober friend and helps the bars attract more people,” Lass said. The idea for the program came from CHEERS, a program at the University of Missouri that offers free soft drinks to designated drivers. Former GSB member, Jacob Wilson, heard

National Science Foundation
Centers draw US attention By McKenzie.Vogt iowastatedaily.com The National Science Foundation was founded in 1950 after Vannevar Bush, MIT professor of electrical engineering, wrote to then-President Harry S. Truman requesting the government do everything possible to support research at universities around the country. “The report — “Science Dialogist Frontier” — he proposed was an evolution at the time,” said Subra Suresh, director of the National Science Foundation. Suresh visited Iowa State on Thursday to meet with industry representatives and leaders in education. Suresh will be giving the inaugural Vlasta Klima Balloun Lecture at 11 a.m. Friday. At 1:30 p.m., he will be receiving the Distinguished Alumni Award from the university. Two activities the NSF supports are Research Experience for Undergraduates, a program that allows students to go work with professors in their labs, and Advanced Technological Education, a two-year program for junior colleges to help people gain a technical education. “Currently there are 273 active NSF awards at Iowa State University, totaling about $128 million,” Suresh said. A few of the largest programs on campus are two Industry
With the recent disagreement between the Hunt Street Block Party hosts and Ames Police regarding their party that expected more than 3,000 guests, it remains up to partiers whether or not to attend that or similar parties, said Jim Robinson, investigations commander for Ames Police. Robinson encourages partiers to use their best judgment when deciding whether or not to attend parties. Just as party-goers are using their judgment, Ames Police will be using theirs when determining if their presence is required at a party. “[What we look for] ranges from the noise, littering within the neighborhood, public urination and possession of alcohol underage,” Robinson said. The maximum level of noise is 60 decibels between 7 a.m. and midnight, and midnight to 7 a.m. it lowers to 55 decibels, according to the city of Ames website. The sound is measured at the end of each street or alleyway. When a complaint is received, a measurement of sound may be taken at the location in which the property is disturbed. If charged with noncompliance, the recipient will be tried in the Associate District Court for a simple misdemeanor and could be charged with court fees up to $115 or 30 days in jail, according to the website. “Ultimately, we don’t want a party to become so large where the hosts can’t control their guests,” Robinson said. Parties with beer kegs have their own criteria as well. Before holding an event where more than one beer keg is to be used, a permit must be obtained from the Ames Chief of Police, Charles Cychosz, who holds the applications. Permits may be obtained only by an individual, not corporations, associations or groups of people, according to the website.

University Cooperatives Research Centers and one Engineering Research Center for bio renewal. The NSF is the only federal agency that supports all branches of science and engineering. “Another thing that is unique about us is that unlike most of the federal agencies, we don’t use
the federal money to do research in-house,” Suresh said. “So whatever money we receive, we give it to the community and don’t use it internally.” Last year NSF supported 290,000 people in the United States and 2,100 institutions, including universities, small busi-
nesses, K-12 educational institutions and others with grants and awards. “I think training the minds to think critically is important,” Suresh said. “Science works like that because enquiry, investigation and curiosity is very critical even in day-to-day life.”
A bill that would require all Government of the Student Body senators to attend student organization meetings once per month was discussed at the GSB meeting Wednesday night. The goal of the bill is to increase interaction between students and GSB. “I think as senators it is our responsibility to get out there as much as possible and we should be attending as many organizations’ meetings as possible,” said Scott Connell, engineering senator and junior in computer engineering. Several senators voiced concern about the vagueness of the bill. “I think this bill can be looked at from other angles and not in such a vague way,” said Sawyer Baker, liberal arts and sciences senator and sophomore in political science. “I think having more structure around it would be better than passing it and trying to work it out later.” Sean Morrissey, off campus senator and senior in environmental science, said requiring senators to go to meetings would make it so senators are only going to fulfill a requirement and not because they want to go. He would rather senators be encouraged to attend the meetings. After much discussion and due to the

The 17-year-old star let the Twitterverse know Tuesday that he needed some breathing room from the social networking site, which he relayed by tweeting, of course. “Been super frustrated and just needed some time to vent and chill...[I] want to see this country and all the places [I’ve] dreamed of and whether its the paps or being pulled into politics its been frustrating...Gonna take a little break from twitter and enjoy this time with my family until then,� he told his legion of followers.

ABC has announced that the network is “evolvingâ€? its daytime offerings by canceling “All My Childrenâ€? and “One Life to Liveâ€? and making room for two new shows. The two longtime staples of afternoon TV-viewing will conclude in September 2011, and January 2012, respectively. So what will you be watching instead? An hour-long show all about food called “The Chew.â€? It’ll be hosted by “Top Chefâ€? fan favorite Carla Hall, “Iron Chefâ€? Michael Symon, nutrition expert Daphne Oz, “What Not to Wear’sâ€? Clinton Kelly and Mario Batali. According to the news release from ABC, the show will cover all angles of food, examining it “as a source of joy, health, family ritual, friendship, breaking news, dating, ďŹ tness, weight loss, travel adventures and life’s moments.â€? That one will launch in September. The other show coming to ABC is currently being called “The Revolution,â€? and is focused on “health and lifestyle transformations,â€? the statement said. The idea is to help viewers live better lives by showing them how to “transform all areas of their lives, from relationships to family, food, style, home design, ďŹ nance and more.â€? It will also feature one woman’s ďŹ ve-month weight loss journey each week, and will reveal each step of the story over ďŹ ve days, with a ďŹ nal unveiling of her total transformation on Fridays. The daily program, arriving in January 2012, will be hosted by “Project Runway’sâ€? Tim Gunn, former “Idolâ€? contestant Kimberley Locke and celeb trainer Harley Pasternak.

Fair offers global foods Students learn culture through various tastes By John.Lonsdale iowastatedaily.com How would you like some “drunken spaghetti�? A green onion pancake? Or maybe you would like to try a meat pie? Students will have the chance to try these different food dishes and experience the cultures of ISU students Saturday at the International Food Fair. “This is one of the best chances to get to know a culture,� said Ashvin Sudhaharan, events coordinator for the International Student Council and senior in marketing.
“You can tell a lot about a country by the ingredients [they use] and the style of serving,� Sudhaharan said. Seventeen student organizations are represented this year that span the globe. “In conjunction with VEISHEA [and] celebrating Iowa State, this is a very big part of Iowa State,� Sudhaharan said. Proceeds from tickets sold before and at the event will be distributed in three ways; ISC will use the money for a scholarship awarded every fall semester during International Night, reimbursement for some of the ingredients used during the Food Fair and give some money to the participating student organizations. Each student group submitted its recipes to ISC at the beginning of the spring semester.
In order to participate, the groups must be in line with ISU Dining’s guidelines of taking a food safety course, using ethnic ingredients, managing cooking times, cooking in ISU Dining’s kitchens and the deadlines and helping with recipe submissions. The groups were required by ISC to attend regular food fair meetings and later were given private meetings with their ISU Dining chef. Because of the popularity among ISU students, faculty and the Ames community, students have the interesting task of creating a large amount of food. “[They’re] taking a two-people recipe and making it for 500,� Sudhaharan said. “That kind of changes some things,� Sudhaharan said.
>>PARTIES.p1 The permit must be obtained at least 24 hours before the event. “We have enhanced staffing throughout the whole weekend, like every VEISHEA,â€? Robinson said. “When we have an inux that is several thousands of people in our community, we do enhance our enforcement actions.â€? It’s not just Hunt Street that Ames Police will be monitoring, Robinson said. Their goal is to keep everyone safe throughout the community.

Nate Dobbels, GSB speaker of the senate and senior in agricultural and life sciences education, said the project offers a multitude of beneďŹ ts to students. “The beneďŹ ts are very clear in my mind-students learn to have a sober friend, we look out for each other, the soft drinks are free for sober friends, and the [ISU] campus is changed for the better,â€? Dobbels said. Lass said some projects started by GSB unfortunately do not see completion, and they did not want the Sodas 4
Sobers program to be one of those. “We’re very excited about the program,� Lass said. So far, nine bars have agreed to participate in the program, all of which are located in Campustown. Lass said he was surprised at the number of bars that were willing to participate in the program and hopes that more join in the future. “Talking with the owners of the bars, they were very receptive of it,� Lass said. Posters announcing the program will be located in each

After seeing the makings of a great team during Greek Week, Sigma Kappa sorority and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity decided to fuel their efforts for a bigger cause: Pita Pit Give Back Night philanthropy. The event will take place 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Pita Pit, 114 Welch Ave. Ten percent of sales made during the time period will be split between Sigma Kappa and FIJI’s causes to beneďŹ t Alzheimer’s research and the American Red Cross. “This event is something to talk about because we are involving the community as we try to better the community that we live in,â€? said Sam Pearce, philanthropy chair of FIJI and junior in civil engineering. “We partnered up with a local restaurant, Pita Pit, in order to raise money for the American Red Cross and Alzheimer’s research. “The way that we are going about raising money is new, and there are not many philanthropies like it [at Iowa State]. The typical philanthropy is one where you go over to a house and get some food there,â€? he said. “This means that it is mainly greeks who go to these events, leaving out the rest of the community. That is something that we are trying to change with this event. We are trying to reach out to the community.â€? Katie Watson, president of Sigma Kappa and junior in marketing, said she can’t wait for the joint philanthropy to take place. “I am most excited about the fact that I think it could be a really big success,â€? Watson said. “A lot of greek philanthropies surround food, so partnering with such a popular restaurant is really exciting to be able to have the opportunity to raise a substantial amount of money for such great causes.â€? Watson credits the spark that ignited this philanthropy to Greek Week. “Our houses were paired together for Greek Week and had such a great time working together that we wanted to contribute to each other’s phil-
said. “We need to look out for our fellow students and although this is not the only answer, it is a great step in the right direction,� Dobbels said.

Editorial
Last night was totally awesome It was though, wasn’t it? Sure, the sky was dark and the grass was wet and the temperature was a bit lower than we would have preferred for our VEISHEA Thursday, but still, there was something about last night that was different and just altogether awesome. It wasn’t the booze, that’s for sure; there’s always booze, all year round. And it wasn’t the bars, either. You had to pay to get through the door, and once you were inside, you were just another sardine in the can — trying to swim your way through a tidal wave of faceless strangers just to quench the thirst you worked up squeezing past them. Sweating in confinement while waiting for a gratuitously high-priced drink — especially for a Thursday — you realized that conversation would have been impossible, and it was too cramped to dance. Maybe it was that party you went to later on, not the crazy one that got busted, that was basically the same as the bars, but with more dudes. The one after that. You know, the slowburner, just off the beaten path. Yeah, that had to have been it. There had been other parties like it this year, and you enjoyed them, but they got old. They were always comfortable and relaxed, yet energetic. The music was nice and loud, but you could still talk to people, and the conversations were new and stimulating. But as the year dragged on, you kept finding that same party, meeting those same people and having to drunkenly relearn their names again. You had the same conversations. You still had a decent time, but your weekends became predictable, so you tried the bars. The first few times out, you had a blast, but before long, you wore them out the same way you wore out that same old party; spontaneity degenerated into routine. But then VEISHEA broke the routine. Everyone was out and, despite the weather, the night was calling to you, and everybody else too, it seemed. You wandered the neighborhood, high-fiving people without knowing why; you were just going with it. And then you came upon that awesome party, the slow-burner. A couple of people smoking cigarettes on the lawn greeted you with a wave, and you stopped to chat. Before you knew it, they were on their third cigarette and you were 40 minutes deep into a conversation you’d previously had with others, but this time you were hearing and saying different things, thinking different thoughts. Maybe it wasn’t necessarily a drinking party you were looking for after all, but rather social stimulation. Sure, having some drinks can be a good time, but you’ve learned that booze can’t make a boring night anything other than what it is. People are what make a party, and social interaction is what keeps life fresh. Editorial Board

Pursuit of real ethics
By Adam.Bohl iowastatedaily.com
R
eligion is subject to the keenest dialectic, politics to endless debate. The methods by which our parents raised us are scrutinized from atop leather couches, but in this enlightened age of so much skepticism there lies a certain innocent, little notion that goes unchallenged: the pursuit of happiness. It is written in our most sacred national document, the title of a major motion picture and the life directive to which most of us cling. We have heard its song sung countless times, “you’ve got to do what makes you happy!” “If it makes her happy, who am I to judge?” It is the same advice, from careers to girls: if something isn’t making you happy it must be wrong; perforce, leave whatever makes you unhappy and pursue that which does. This life directive seems so simple, kind and free. It allows each person the chance to define a life for themselves. Some may even call it the American dream, but in it lies a profound danger to the ethics of our lives. Most of us operate in a mode of motivated existence that is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness. For some, the passions of each moment are sufficient to keep them scurrying about with prying eyes and busy hands. For others, those deemed “responsible,” their passions are a bit more long term. They are more passionate about a larger future than an instant gratification of momentary desire, but make no mistake, it is passion that drives them forward. This mode of existence may result in part from the affluence and freedom of our society. We are blessed with the time to contemplate our passions and the freedom to pursue them. On other continents, in darker jungles than Black Engineering, the pursuit of one’s
survival seems to outweigh the pursuit of one’s happiness. Even many religious persons are far more motivated by passion than their secular counterparts; except that their passion lies toward emotional religious experience rather than material or sensual happiness. We do not often dare to challenge our own passions, for when we do we experience a breakdown of the will. The thinking goes as such: I go to college because it makes me happy. I date a cute girl because she makes me happier than an ugly one. I get good grades because having a job in the future will ensure my happiness. I groom myself because positive attentions make me happier than negative attentions. The logic seems faultless. Indeed it is insofar as we operate in a safe, ideal world where passions are never opposed and never ugly. But if you look out your window you’ll notice that this is not the world we live in. Suddenly, by nature of the presence of our fellow man and the scarcity of substance, happiness creates a dipole. Two different men would be most happy with the same girl alone, but she cannot be with both. There is only one of her. Another man finds his happiness when he relieves the emotional burden of his stressful job by beating his wife with cold, meaty fists. She finds her happiness in taking care of him, believing he will change, and knowing that her love will prevail. Happiness has begun to sound a bit twisted, far too twisted to form the core of personal ethics. Being so enamored with happiness, an addition to our life directive is made, and it becomes: I will pursue my happiness insofar as it does no harm to others. But this
is simply more of the same shifting sand. How do we hurt others? Physically, emotionally? Directly or indirectly? I would be far more content sitting in the sun doing nothing rather than being productive or helping someone else. It makes me happy, and hurts no one. But what of the opportunities lost? Is not helping the same as hurting? We may come to conclude that the source of the problem lies in happiness as a moral directive, not the application thereof. Sadly enough, the alternative these days to the open declaration of living for one’s own interests is to find a religion or morality that, however flexibly, maximizes our happiness or allows us to live out that hidden directive. We are not Christians because we want to have premarital sex; we are not Mahayana Buddhists because we want to eat meat, so we settle for something in between, something more “open.” Something we regard as more thought through, more reasoned: a higher, more personal religion or ethics by which we live. But how often, if we look at the core of our beliefs and their structures, do we find they are based on satisfying our basic want of personal happiness? Unfortunately, discovering one’s sense of right and wrong takes a bit of thought, a lot of feeling, and is often done by trial and error. But let us not waste time scurrying about between the crumbs of happiness like ethical roaches not giving the least bit of thought where the crumb-trail may lead. Instead, let us strive to know and understand a morality and ethics that brings justice and mercy to ourselves and others alike, and creates a vindication of life in the face of death, of sacrifice for something larger than self amid the doldrums of desire.

Advice
Revel in that VEISHEA buzz going on
I
By Taysha.Murtaugh iowastatedaily.com
’m sure I’m not alone when I say that the week of VEISHEA is, without a doubt, my favorite week of the school year. I love everything about this time of year: the warm weather, the parties and the music. Since I know everybody’s feeling good this week, with or without the help of alcohol, I decided I didn’t want to kill the VEISHEA “buzz” by writing about anything except VEISHEA. So instead of the complaining and criticizing usually found on this page, let’s all just focus on the positives. There certainly are quite a few this week, after all. This beautiful tradition that we all love so much happens to fall right when the sun fully returns, making the long walks around campus finally bearable without a jacket. From reading “Just Sayin’” the past couple of weeks, I know how happy everyone is to see girls back in dresses and skirts and shirtless boys playing frisbee on Central Campus again.
Wednesday, I even saw a group of men sunbathing in Speedo’s, and one proposed to me, offering his key ring as a symbol of his love and fidelity. I said yes; how could anyone deny a man brave enough to “put it all out there” like that? We can hope the weather will continue to be this pleasant, despite the horrible words we’ve been hearing such as “rain” and “snow.” That negativity has no place in this column, though. We’re focusing on the good things right now. Rain or shine, VEISHEA will go on, but for now, let’s hope for the best. That’s the thing about VEISHEA: It brings out optimism and childlike happiness in nearly everyone you see. Even the trees rejoice and begin blooming, giving us a more attractive setting for our week-long party. That brings me to the thing we all love the most about this week: the parties. I’m not just talking about the drunken gatherings at the
bars, Welch Avenue and the surrounding house parties; those are fun too. The entire festival is one big party, with fun activities going on every single day. It’s also a great opportunity to avoid the trip to Des Moines and see some sweet music shows right here in Ames. The VEISHEA committee does a great job, and they don’t receive thanks enough for their hard work. I hope you have enjoyed this week as much as I have, and I hope your weekend is even better. I’m sorry if you have lame professors that assigned projects and tests this week, but I hope you still made the most of it, because this is our time. So sit back, relax and crack open a beverage of your choice. Soak in the moment and enjoy being a college student. Enjoy being a Cyclone. Enjoy that VEISHEA buzz. Take time to meet people and enjoy the festivities, because VEISHEA comes but once a year.

Equipment display is not all advertising
When reading the paper Wednesday, I came across an article that was a little disheartening. As a member and former president of the Agricultural Systems Technology Club I felt that I needed to set a few things straight about the agricultural equipment display on the lawn of Davidson Hall and what it means to VEISHEA. The VEISHEA equipment display has been a longstanding tradition of the Agricultural Systems Technology Club and we take pride in putting the latest and greatest in agricultural technology on display for the students of Iowa State and the Ames community. It is by no means a “temporary showroom” for the equipment manufactures. The equipment is on loan from local dealerships and is not intended to be any type of advertising. If the companies were trying to advertise why would they allow
Levi Powell is a senior in agricultural systems technology
their biggest competitors to be on display right next to them? Who would they be advertising to, there aren’t many students that can afford a $300,000 tractor. The club puts the equipment on display strictly as an educational opportunity for those that do not get the chance to see farm equipment on a daily basis. We rotate through different brands of equipment each year so as to not play favorites, and try to have a variety of different ones on display at the same time so people can see the differences between them. The building they are displayed in front of is Davidson Hall. It is home to the Agricultural Systems Technology Program as well as the Agricultural Engineering Program. In these
programs we are focused on machinery design and technology development. So it just makes sense that the technology we learn about and work to create would be on display in front of our building for VEISHEA. As for “coming together and honoring the humble beginnings of Iowa State University” I think we are doing just that. When it was established in 1858 the school was originally called the Iowa Agricultural College and Model Farm. In 1898 the name was changed to the Iowa College of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts. Finally in 1959 the name was officially changed to Iowa State University of Science and Technology. I can’t think of any better way to honor a school that has from the beginning been focused on agriculture and technology, than by displaying the most technologically advanced machinery on the market today.
Is Iowa State solely focused on agriculture and technology? No, the school is very diverse and has made advancements in many areas other than agriculture. But agriculture was the reason for starting Iowa State in the first place and has always been at the core of it. The equipment display is much more than just a “temporary showroom,” it is a learning opportunity for those who are not actively involved with agriculture. The machines on display this year are some of the most technologically advanced equipment on the market and are a testament to how far we have come and where we are headed in the future. The equipment display has been a long standing tradition of the Agricultural Systems Technology Club and will continue to be for many years to come. It’s our way of putting the A in VEISHEA.

Spring Game approaches Rhoads remains uncertain on starting quarterback position By Chris.Cuellar iowastatedaily.com Saturday’s annual Spring Game won’t count as a win or a loss on Iowa State’s overall record. The scoreboard will have points on it, even if coach Paul Rhoads is debating how those points will be determined. Fans will be in the stands cheering for the Cyclones, even if Jack Trice Stadium isn’t full and April doesn’t bring to mind tailgating and fallen leaves. The game counts as a mark of progress for the Cyclones, regardless of the environment and weight of the event. “A good practice is where you got good on both sides of the ball, it’s physical and it’s fast,” Rhoads said. “A number of our days have reflected exactly that. This group comes every day and that’s exciting for our preparation.” The coaching staff is noting greater team speed among the Cyclones in what will be Rhoads’ third season in Ames. With a tough, nine-game Big 12 conference schedule, the team will likely need every scrimmage and skill addition it can get before summertime. “In the last scrimmage, we had some people out of position, communication problems, so we’re looking to be more sharp with everybody reading their keys,” said sophomore safety Jacques Washington. “No depth chart spot is locked down, you can get your job taken any day. We’re just getting better every day, nothing is ever locked in.” Iowa State will play offense against defense Saturday, with likely the No. 1 offense facing off against the No. 1 defense, and the second unit from each playing each other on assorted series. With no depth chart spot truly locked up in Rhoads’ eyes, the chance for young and experienced Cyclones
to tangle and prove themselves will be on display and prime for judgment in front of the ISU faithful this weekend. “We want to get out and get better, you want to have a good day and prove that we’re going to be a good team,” said redshirt freshman center Tom Farniok, who sits at the top of the depth chart this spring. “You don’t get respect right away, you have to earn it.” Kickoff is at 2 p.m. Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium and admission is free.
Quarterback battle Gone is heralded, local quarterback, two-time captain and team leader Austen Arnaud, and with him, the certainty of which quarterback will take the first snap of the ball Sept. 3. It is a wide-open competition that Rhoads has no plans on deciding anytime soon. “I think all four candidates have had their days; they’ve also had their misses,” Rhoads said. “We’ll go into fall camp trying to decide exactly who will lead our football team.” Juniors Jerome Tiller and Steele Jantz are considered the top two contenders for the job of signal-caller this season, with each player contributing in his own way. “I think [Tiller] has got the knowledge of the offense and the experience more so than the other three, so there’s a comfort level that goes with that,” Rhoads said. “You can see that Steele’s behind, as far as understanding what to do. We need to continue to be more accurate with our ability to throw the ball.” Sophomore James Capello, who saw limited action last season, and redshirt freshman Jared Barnett are the other two names on the depth chart; each of the youngsters have shown flashes of growth in spring practice. While not out of the conversation entirely, the transfer Jantz and former starter Tiller are expected to get the bulk of good looks in the Spring Game. “We all run the same plays and for the most part we’re out of shotgun, so it’s just a different guy telling you
what play to run,” Farniok said. “We have faith in whoever is back there, so we’re going to run it either way.” Without Arnaud or even a consistent face lining up behind center for the Cyclones, Rhoads had a major concern about the leadership of the team, and which voice would step up in the huddle and take control. While Tiller and Jantz haven’t accomplished that yet, the rest of the offense has been responding well in practice to whoever is performing. “To their credit, I think they’ve been unaffected, each of the four guys leads in a different manner,” Rhoads said. “They know all four are working hard to be that guy and they’re there to support them. Whoever is with the ones or twos the guys have just responded with good, honest work.”
Depth chart shifts Quarterback isn’t the only position to remain unsettled on the depth chart, with a few major moves made preceding the Spring Game. There are young names filling in on the team’s offensive line, even if a few spots feel locked down in practice. “Everyone wants to play, and I’m in a position to do that, so I want to take advantage of it,” Farniok said. “I’ve still got to get bigger and get smarter and learn everything to perfection. It’s intense all across the board. If you don’t bring it every day, you don’t want to get demoted. There’s no relaxing.” The running back unit is still working on a committee basis, with growth shown by Shontrelle Johnson, Jeff Woody, James White and Duran “Duck” Hollis. “It’s a group that we knew was strong going into spring, they have not let us down,” Rhoads said. “The position is very dynamic right now. They all have the ability to make a lot of people miss on any given play. The moves that these guys make are fun to watch and electrifying, and I hope they display that on Saturday. On defense, the starting cornerbacks
will remain the same, but safety is a position Rhoads is hoping works itself out. “We feel like we play better as a team now. The corners are lockdown, Jeremy Reeves and Leonard Johnson have taken their game to another level,” Washington, currently the top free safety said. “I think we have more depth in the defensive backs, it looks good.”
Injuries and impacts
names with injuries include cornerback Jeremy Reeves, center Sam Tautolo and wide receiver Josh Lenz. Reeves had wrist surgery recently to heal a nagging problem, and Rhoads expects the returning starter to be ready later in the summer. Tautolo and Lenz have a shoulder and ankle injury,
F o r m e r JUCO defensive end Rony Nelson redshirted last season, but a concussion has kept him off the field and prevented the Cyclones from adding depth on the defensive line. “He went into in the winter with a bone spur surgery, so we have not got true exposure to Rony,” Rhoads said. O t h e r

Understudies step up Cyclones challenge Texas Players realize team effort is necessary to win
By Darrin.Cline iowastatedaily.com Miller, Zabriskie, Kidwell and Torrescano. The same names routinely show up when it’s time to shine for the ISU softball team. While Torrescano may have won the game with her grand slam, it was the play of many unheralded underclassmen players that put the Cyclones in a position to capitalize on the opportunity. Recent injuries put Amandine Habben on the bench and moved Sara Davison to designated hitter. Habben’s arm injury opened the door for freshman Evan Folks. Folks, who only started nine previous games, was a target for the Bulldogs’ offense. Despite Drake’s multiple steal attempts, ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler was pleased with the play of her young catcher. “Defending second on the steal is something we have been working on, and Evan actually has a really, really good arm, but we probably should have prepared her a little bit better for this game,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. Davison, the regular Cyclone shortstop, was supplanted by freshman Cassie Knutson. Much like Folks, Knutson has seen limited play, but has made the most of her opportunities. Against
word!

Drake, Knutson contributed one hit and an RBI, but was most prevalent as a defensive stopper in the infield. “We always have to be prepared for everything, and I know my role and that’s to come in when Sara [Davison] needs me,” Knutson said. Of all the freshmen who have stepped up, perhaps no one has done it more consistently than Anna Cole. Cole took over in right field midway through the season and has made the most of the opening. Following the victory over Drake, Cole has extended her hitting streak to seven games. Against the Bulldogs, Cole added a run and an RBI to the winning effort. “I don’t really follow stats. I just go up to the plate with the mindset of ‘get the ball in play and get a base hit,’” Cole said. Youth has been a main concern for a team with
only five juniors and seniors. Nonetheless, Cole has confidence in her teammates and views the varying line up as a positive. “It’s good to give everyone a chance, and we do have such a young team, so most of the players that get in are going to be young,” Cole said. “I think it’s good to get everyone a chance so next year they aren’t going into games blind and are ready.” As for the future of the regular lineup, GemeinhardtCesler is still uncertain. The team has taken steps to move Torrescano from designated hitter to outfield, which has opened a hole that has been filled by a variety of players. With experienced stars shifting positions and young players filling starting spots, the Cyclones can be confident and trust in each other when the time to shine arises.
A 34-4 record, a 17-1 record at home and a No. 3 national ranking. The Texas Longhorns are not only an elite power in college softball, they are also next on the schedule for the Iowa State Cyclones. The Longhorns come in atop the conference standings at 7-0 in Big 12 play. Iowa State (19-17, 1-5) has seen its season rebound with two wins over the Drake Bulldogs this past week, including a dramatic win at home thanks to a walk-off home run from Tori Torrescano. “We’re going to have to be together,” said Cyclone shortstop Sara Davison. “We’ve got talent, but we all have to be together if we want to compete with them.” Texas’ team credits are astounding, but they are made possible by the contributions of outstanding individual efforts. Two Longhorn players have been nominated for the 2011 USA Softball Player of the Year. Sophomore pitcher Blaire Luna and junior first baseman Lexy Bennett have been selected as two of the 25 finalists for the award. Luna stands atop the Longhorn rotation

with a 20-2 record, 11 shutouts and an astounding 0.98 ERA. “They do have two very good pitchers, and you do have to take it one pitch at a time, one at-bat at a time,” said ISU coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler, in regard to the improvements her team made during the two games against Drake this week. “We’ve had a few hitters who have made adjustments and were able to progress and not get down,” she said. Bennett has been equally impressive from the plate, putting up 53 hits, scoring 47 runs and holding a conference best .465 batting average. Even without these two stars, the Longhorns are an imposing squad. Pitcher Rachel Fox is 14-1 with a 1.15 ERA. Offensively, Brejae Washington and Taylor Hoagland have each added more than 30 runs on the season. Iowa State may be prime position to surprise the top five opponent. On Wednesday night, the Longhorns were
stunned by 10-28 Stephen F. Austin, 1-0. All four of the team’s losses have come when they score less than five runs, with three of them coming in games in which the Longhorns failed to manage more than two runs. “Anybody in the Big 12, whether they are fourth in the country or 24th, everybody is good, and you have to go in with the same approach,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. If the Cyclones’ pitching staff can go pitch-for-pitch with the dynamic rotation of the opposition, the games could fall on the shoulders of the offense to make the difference. “Our pitching had an off week until Tuesday, but they all need to do their part, and the defense needs to get behind them and get outs where we can,” Davison said. Rachel Zabriskie is expected to lead the charge. The Austin, Texas, native will make her final trip to her hometown as a Cyclone. Zabriskie is recognized as an all-time ISU great, but has never defeated the Longhorns during her career. “It feels good and sad at the same time,” Zabriskie said. “I get the chance to play in my home city and that’s exciting, and there will be lots of people there to cheer me on.” The first game of the weekend will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, followed by a noon first pitch Sunday.
Sports Jargon of the Day: Pickle
SPORT: Softball and baseball
DEFINITION: A baserunning situation where a runner is caught between two bases in a rundown.
USE: The Cyclones really ran into some trouble in the fourth when the runner got in that pickle between second and third.

Women’s golf
Cyclones look for consecutive wins Coach: We will focus on Big 12 Championships By Dan.Martin iowastatedaily.com The ISU women’s golf team is competing in its ďŹ nal regular-season tournament Saturday and Sunday. The No. 15 Cyclones will face tough competition at the Lady Buckeye Invitational, where they are playing for a second straight win entering the Big 12 Championships. Coach Christie Martens said the team is not distracted by the quickly approaching Big 12 Championships. “I think everyone’s excited about going to the Buckeye tournament,â€? Martens said. “It’s an awesome golf course, so I think everyone is really looking forward to it. We will focus on the Big 12 Championships next week.â€? The Cyclones are currently the top-ranked team in the Big
12. They had their biggest hiccup of the season two tournaments ago March 6 and 7 at the SunTrust Invitational, where they placed outside the top ďŹ ve for the ďŹ rst time coming in at sixth. They came back in two weeks ago in the MoutainView Collegiate Classic by taking ďŹ rst out of 18 teams — 10 from the Big 12 — and breaking several school records in the process. “It was great,â€? said senior Victoria Stefansen. “For me it was my fourth time back at that course. We had struggled a little in the past with putting three good rounds together as a team, and it was really great just to see everything come together and get the win.â€? The Cyclone women said they were never nervous. Just like they are not thinking about the Big 12 Championships ahead, they do not dwell on their last tournament either. They enter the Lady Buckeye Invitational like they do every tournament: hoping to play well, have fun and win.
“Well it’s gonna be a very strong ďŹ eld there,â€? Stefansen said. “There’s a lot of team’s we’ve met in the past like Purdue, who we always have a really good struggle with, and Ohio State, who’s always really strong on their home course. “It’s going to be a tough ďŹ eld and a lot of fun, and a really good preparation for Big 12. There’s a lot of teams really stepping in up here these past weeks, so it’s gonna be exciting.â€? Fellow senior on the team, Laurence Herman, is also ready to go. “We enter every tournament looking to win,â€? Herman said. “It was great to play so well as a team [at MountainView], and even better we broke the course record. So we’re gonna go out and try to win again, and individually, same thing.â€? The Lady Buckeye is a 54hole tournament hosted by Ohio State. It will be played April 16 and 17 at the par 72, 6,275-yard Scarlet Course.
