and Applied Science at the University of Cincinnati. Jonathan Wickert is the dean of the College of Engineering here at Iowa State.

“We’re pleased to have this set of accomplished finalists for this important leadership position at Iowa State,” said Wendy Wintersteen in a statement detailing the announcement. Wintersteen serves as the chairwoman of the search committee and dean of the College of Agriculture

and Life Sciences.

Students and faculty will get the chance to meet each candidate at a series of open forums.

Wickert’s forum is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Monday in the Pioneer Room of Memorial Union. Wickert said he hopes to stay connected to students if selected for the job.

“I’m happy to be here and help with education,” Wickert said. “This position would be an exciting way to

be involved. There’s so much exciting growth going on in buildings and programs, and I’d like to take time early on to get to know the campus, faculty and students.”

Wickert has been on faculty at Iowa State since 2007 and has served as dean of the College of Engineering since 2009. He cites these experiences as what he will draw upon in this

New position welcomes new faculty

By David Bartholomew Daily staff writer Iowa State welcomed a new addition to its administration as Miles Lackey took the helm as the newly-defined position of associate vice president this week.

Lackey, who previously served as director of the office of federal affairs at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, is highly regarded by ISU President Steven Leath for both his management skills and work history.

“He brings a strong set of credentials to Iowa State, including finance, management and many others,” Leath said.

“He has a Master’s in Public Administration, an MBA and good business and finance skills.”

Leath hopes Lackey’s experience and knowledge in economics and other issues will help make the university more efficient in a variety of ways, as well as help implement the various projects that the Leath administration hopes to put forth in the future.

“When there is a plan coming out of the President’s office, someone has to make sure that it happens and puts it into action,” Leath said. “And Miles has the skills necessary to do that.”

Leath is hoping that the addition of Lackey will help generate new programs at the university and ultimately improve the experience of every ISU student.

Mt. Rainier, located in Washington, stretches 14,441 feet above sea level — equivalent to nearly 48 Statue of Liberties stacked on top of each other.

Colton Kennedy, coordinator and lead climber for the Mt. Rainier expedition, is well aware of the audacity of this trip. He has stood atop the peak of Mt. Rainier four times prior to leading this particular expedition.

This May, a group of 14 members of the ISU Mountaineering & Climbing Club plan to summit Mt. Rainier — one of the tallest and most challenging peaks in North America.

By Melis.Meas @iowastatedaily.com The stance on affirmative action is a topic for discussion for many places.

Iowa State is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.

Affirmative Action, according to the American Association for Affirmative Action, “refers to positive steps aimed at increasing the inclusion of historically excluded groups in employment, education and business.”

Iowa State’s Non-Discrimination and Affirmative Action Statement was reaffirmed on November 1, 2011.

“I think that it’s important that when you talk about the misunder-

standing about affirmative action, I would agree because discrimination and affirmative action are two separate things,” said Jessica Stolee, interim assistant director of the office of Equal Opportunity and Compliance. “[Affirmative action] is something that is required by the federal government, and since we accept federal funds, we are required to be an affirmative action equal opportunity employer and institution,” Stolee said.

The university’s affirmative action statement says that “Iowa State University is committed to developing and implementing a program of nondiscrimination and affirmative action, a responsibility the university accepts willingly because it is the right and just thing to do.”

With being an equal opportunity/ affirmative action employer, Iowa

>>RAINIER.p1A “We haven’t done anything this serious before. … There has been a lot of hiking and climbing trips, but this is the first true mountaineering trip that has been done in a long time,” Kennedy said.

A summit attempt of this magnitude requires months of intricate planning and strenuous training. “We train 2 to 3 times a week, doing things like hill-running, cardio training, hiking and weightlifting,” Kennedy said.

Leah Merner, senior in mechanical engineering and international studies, will be participating in the climb this May. Merner and her teammates have been training intensively for the last 10 weeks.

“We have weekly meetings where we learn mountaineer-

ing skills like knots and rope team travel. … You can often find us traveling through Beyer Hall connected in rope teams,” Merner said.

Training is vital to the success of the climb.

On a crevasse-ridden mountain like Mt. Rainier where disaster lurks at every step, climbers must be ready to save themselves or a fellow climber.

“You aren’t just preparing for the perfect day. You are preparing for the disaster scenario. If something goes wrong, you need to be able to do whatever it takes. The mountain is very unpredictable,” Kennedy said.

Mt. Rainier has long been a popular destination for adventure-seekers. Every year, thousands of climbers set out to conquer the peak and a much

“A provost is overall responsible for academic programs and a university is a complex organization like the College of Engineering,” Wickert said. “The college has 7,000 students, which is larger than some towns in Iowa. I would like to see the university grow over several years in relations with companies and alumni.”

Manderscheid’s forum will be at 1:30 p.m.

Tuesday in the Pioneer Room of Memorial Union.

Manderscheid said, in his experiences as dean and department chairman, he has been able to learn the factors involved in running a university. He also cites his many years as a faculty member as how he understands higher education.

“I am honored to be selected as a candidate,” Manderscheid said. “Iowa State is a great institution for undergraduate work and has a high reputation for faculty research. My parents are

“Affirmative action is a regulation. … It basically tells us that we have to show that we have done our due diligence in recruiting minorities and women. It’s about recruitment, so what have we done to cast the broadest net to recruit minorities and females to our institution,” Stolee said.

The Equal Opportunity and Compliance office, which used to be called the affirmative action office, has a mission to “proactively champion fair and equal treatment of current and potential students, staff and faculty by monitoring compliance with Federal, State and University guidelines.”

With the mission is also their vision of “a more inclusive, global community by encouraging students, staff and faculty to engage one another in creative and respectful interactions.”

Stolee explained that there are differences between dis-

On average, about five Iowans per year travel to Washington to climb Mt. Rainier.

The ISU Mountaineering & Climbing Club will nearly triple that amount this year.

The risks involved with climbing Mt. Rainier are very serious, but the climbers leave any doubts or fears they have at the foot of the mountain.

ISU grads from the 1950s.”

Manderscheid has served as dean and professor in mathematics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln since 2007. Before that he spent six years as professor and chairman of the department of mathematics at the University of Iowa.

Manderscheid said that if he gets the position, he hopes to learn the institution by talking with people to get their concerns and thoughts.

“I hope to maintain the quality and move research forward,” he said.

Montemagno’s forum is scheduled for 10:45 a.m. April 27 in the Gallery Room of Memorial Union. He was unable to be reached for comment.

Wintersteen and ISU President Steven Leath were also unavailable for comment.

The candidates will take over for current Executive Vice President and Provost Elizabeth Hoffman. She announced in February she intended to resign from the position this coming December.

crimination and affirmative action, the latter which deals with recruitment.

“Our office, our main purpose here on campus is to address discrimination and harassment. We’re also responsible for affirmative action and the plan and the requirements that the law has for Iowa State University, but our main job here is to administer the discrimination and harassment policy,” Stolee said. “People have the right to express their concern about mistreatment, and we want them to do that and there are a number of different ways that they can do that.”

President Franklin Roosevelt first implemented the idea of affirmative action in 1941, according to the American Association of Affirmative Action, that required federal contracts containing a clause banning employment discrimination on the basis of color, creed and national origin. It was signed Executive Order 8802 outlawing discrimination in the war industries. President John Kennedy, though, was the first to use the term affirmative action in context in 1961.

According to their website, Iowa State believes that affirmative action gives a “safe and supportive climate for all members of the ISU community in classrooms and laboratories, in offices, in the residence hall system and throughout the campus.”

The policy applies to all ISU sponsored programs and activities, as well as events with cooperation to Iowa State.

“Each area, department, unit, they are responsible for their own recruitment, but we do have an affirmative action plan which we are required to do every year. … We look at that plan every year and say ‘Where are we lacking in minorities and women,’” Stolee said. “Usually what we do is we make sure there are resources for departments and units to go out and really target those groups that maybe don’t have as many employed, whether it’s a minority group or females.”

Stolee explained that students, faculty and staff can come to their office in Beardshear Hall or to the Dean of Students office with any questions or concerns dealing with these topics.

Editorial

Iowa State Daily

Politics

ISU serves public needs, not private Sadly there is a lot of confusion between the concepts of the public and private realms of human existence.

The unfortunate stir we caused with our recent editorials about the recent lean finely textured beef forum held on campus is symptomatic of this problem. We very clearly stated we have no beef with the beef and that our complaint was against our governor, a public figure, putting on a show for corporate farming, which is a private interest, instead of holding a genuine public, town-hall style discussion like it was advertised to be.

Many confused our criticism of our public governor’s behavior as an attack on private beef production. It’s been said by our detractors that it is okay for our public governor to “stand up” for private farming, especially here at Iowa State, because this is a public land grant college whose job is to teach farming.

Land grant schools were created in President Lincoln’s era as a response to the industrial revolution, to integrate the rise of science and technology and the increasing food demands of a growing population, with the classical liberal education fundamental in President Jefferson’s era. The Morrill Act that started public land grant schools says it all.

The purpose of public land grant colleges is “without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach … agriculture and the mechanic arts … in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life.”

After reading that, consider the diverse subjects listed and ask yourself why Congress passed that law in 1862. Do you think it was so Americans could learn how to get big and rich (a private affair) or so they could learn how to be good citizens and successful so that all of America benefits (a public good)?

“Public school” means more than a school funded by tax money; it also is meant to imply a school to prepare citizens to serve some public good or duty, whether it be holding public office like the governor, or being a private farmer who feeds the public.

When our public officials represent private corporate interests at a public school, in actuality a corruption of the land grant ideal has occurred.

So while we love our farmers and we love beef, we need to keep the public and the private interests separate so they don’t ruin each other. The farming industry, which makes more money than the state budget, certainly doesn’t need any governor’s help to promote itself — especially not when the governor needs to be busy tending to public matters, like making sure you get a good public education that isn’t corrupted by private interests.

Partisanship has no place P

olitics, I think, are pretty fun. Too often, however, politics are confused with government, a completely separate concept. Politics happen whenever two or more people get together to have a discussion or do something together. Put simply, politics are out having a good time. They require interaction with other people and being out in the world.

Politics require exposure to forces outside one’s own mind.

Modern American politicians, however, seem to disagree. They show no desire to debate one another, ask questions or give answers. Especially in the Senate, where members go for five years without having to campaign for another term in office, politicians should be waiting with bated breath for every chance to prove their political skill and show themselves to the world.

Instead, we see farces like we did on Monday, when a cloture motion failed in the Senate. That motion would have allowed debate to begin on a bill that, if passed and signed by President Barack Obama, would have enacted what is called the Buffett Rule — in the case of this particular version, a minimum 30 percent tax on people earning more than $1 million annually from any source of income.

And while debate preceded the vote to open debate on the Buffett Rule, that vote’s failure meant there was no opportunity to actually debate the Buffett Rule itself.

Of the 45 Republicans voting on the motion, 44 voted to keep the Buffett Rule from consideration. Another part of politics is acting as an individual, not as a group. Senators especially are insulated by the Constitution from having to play the reelection game and curry favor with average voters. Their six-year terms and, as the Constitution was originally written, election by state legislatures mean that senators are elected by state politicians who are also supposed to have political skill, with the result that senators will have genuine political skill even as they have plenty of time to further cultivate their political talents.

Refusing to debate a bill that, according to

By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com a CNN poll, 72 percent of Americans favor and 53 percent of Republicans favor, is political cowardice. Refusing to allow an open debate on the Buffett Rule represents an unwillingness to work within the political process.

The statements Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., made about the cloture vote are revelatory. Both phrased their remarks with respect to larger issues of the American economy and Obama’s policy preferences rather than framing their comments with respect to the senators who would have had to vote on the bill.

Instead of doing real politics by working with their colleagues, it seems that both would rather use their offices to garner attention for their party’s ideology. The whole point of a senate is that its members will bring their state’s perspective to politics, not some nationwide overarching philosophy dictated by a political party with its own ideological intentions. I doubt very much that all 45 opposing Republicans did so because their state perspective encouraged them the Buffett Rule is bad policy, especially since the only Republican to join the Democrats, Susan Collins of Maine, is widely known as a moderate centrist.

The comments around the failed cloture motion suggest the senators are more interested in show — or gamesmanship — than fixing problems. It is much more likely that they opposed debating the bill simply because their Republican ideology and opposition to the president dictated otherwise, than it is that they actually care about considering potential solutions to seemingly insurmountable budgetary hurdles.

McConnell may be right in saying the Buffett Rule may represent a very small part of a solution to our gargantuan fiscal problems (if implemented, it would bring in only $47 billion over 10 years), but that reasoning fails to consider the quantity of good legislation that has been passed as packages of smaller bills.

Probably the best example of passing comprehensive bills in bits and pieces is the Compromise of 1850. That September, Sen. Stephen Douglas and Sen. Henry Clay, members of two different political parties, worked together to pass a set of measures that would keep the United States together in the years leading up to the Civil War. The problem of legislators’ opposition to bills because of one small portion of them is not new.

Recognizing this problem, Douglas divided the bill into five separate bills. Together, they fixed the Texas border; admitted California as a free state; banned the slave trade in Washington, D.C.; passed the Fugitive Slave Act; and allowed popular sovereignty on slavery in the territories of Utah and New Mexico.

Great solutions to great problems are often passed piecemeal. We need to stop believing that big problems can be resolved only by big solutions and that proposals inadequate by themselves should be shunned. If we need to put our fiscal house in order, then we need to go line by line through the budget, look for feasible cuts and revenue sources, and enact those cuts and revenue sources — such as the Buffett Rule — where it is possible to do so.

Politicians often compare the U.S. Treasury to a family bank account. When they are faced with money problems, households everywhere make budgets and closely examine their spending habits. Maybe, instead of invoking families as tools of rhetoric, senators should apply the real lessons they offer: When a helpful action is possible, it should be done, whether it solves the whole problem in one stroke or not.

Women’s rights

Republican feminism not paradox T he Republican Party has been called anti-woman.

They have been accused of declaring a war on women. They have been called and accused of many things, but one thing is for sure, the Republican Party is not against women. Unbeknownst to many, the Republican Party was actually very pro-woman and campaigned for women’s rights far earlier and more often than the Democratic Party. It was not until the 1980 election that the women who identified themselves as feminists were virtually shunned from the Republican Party.

Being a Republican feminist is seen as a paradox by most people of my party. I am often asked why I identify with the Republican Party if I am a feminist. The truth of the matter is feminism has no correlation with either party; there is nothing in either party’s platforms to support or denote feminism. To identify myself as a Republican feminist would seem rather revolutionary except for the fact it is not. To identify as a feminist within the party is really far more of a classic and traditional Republican Party stance than a newly conceived idea. The Republican Party’s roots lie deep in women’s rights and equality.

To say the Republican Party is about traditional family values is far more revolutionary, than to say they are feminists. Traditional family values only became a part of the party’s platform in the

By Emma.Rinehart @iowastatedaily.com Goldwater election of 1964, when feminists were viewed as too liberal for the right.

Republican feminists have been and will always be a part of the Republican Party. They have infiltrated the party and fought for the voting rights women now enjoy. They made strides in creating equal pay for women and pushed for the Equal Rights Amendment to be passed in congress.

Notable women such as Betty Ford, wife of President Gerald Ford, fought for women and was known to be the last of the “unapologetic” Republican feminists because of her frank support of the Equal Rights Amendment and women equality. J. Ellen Foster, founder of the National Women’s Republican Association, and Mary Crisp, co-chairwoman of the Republican National Convention in 1977, are also strong and notable Republican feminists. Crisp, however, was practically written out of the Party in the 1980 election for her views on feminism.

Republicans played a key role in the passing of the 19th Amendment. The amendment

passed in 1919 by a Republican congress after having been rejected four times by a senate controlled by Democrats. When the Equal Rights Amendment was drafted by Alice Paul in the 1923, Republican Sen. Charles Curtis and Rep. Daniel Anthony were the first to take to the helm of passing the amendment through Congress.

The amendment was first supported by the GOP in 1940 and was met with strong oppositional forces from the Democrat Party.

The first presidents to support the amendment (Eisenhower, Nixon and Ford) all identified with the Republican Party, and the amendment was opposed by President Kennedy. It was not until the amendment was removed from the Republican Party platform for the second time in 1980 and the formation of the “new right” that women of the Republican Party began to fear the label of feminist.

To say Republican feminism is dead cannot be true. Perhaps the term feminism has just been misconstrued over the past several decades. My party is filled with women who shoot guns with freshly manicured hands. My party is filled with women who raise kids, cook the family dinner and work 40 hour weeks for equal pay. My party is filled with strong, independent women who are stubborn and know what they want and make their own choices on their own terms. If that is not

a Republican feminist, I do not know what is.

Unfortunately, Republican feminists are at risk of becoming obliterated due to public speakers who are adamantly against women’s rights. Ann Coulter is unfortunately a woman with a lot of influence and has made huge advancements in her career chooses to publicly speak out against women’s rights, even the right to vote. She actively makes it a point to mock the modern feminist movement, rather than speak out about what it should be.

Somewhere along the way feminism came to be a dirty word.

Somewhere along the way women started taking their rights for granted. Somewhere along the way women stopped remembering the fight so many women dedicated their lives to. Somewhere along the way the Republican Party lost sight of its pro-feminism stance. And somewhere along the way women lost sight of true feminism. Once we lose sight of feminism I fear there is a loss of pride in being a woman.

Republican feminism cannot simply be scoffed at. It should be researched and taken back to its roots and reclaimed as a source of pride among the right. Besides, being classic is revolutionary.

Lolo Jones to compete in Drake Relays

By Stephen Koenigsfeld Daily staff writer On Wednesday morning, Drake Relays Director Brian Brown revealed that U.S. Olympian Lolo Jones will be competing at the Drake Relays next week.

A tweet from the voice of the Drake Bulldogs, Larry Cotlar, said “Drake Relays director brian brown tells espn 1700 the champ that lolo jones is coming to relays next week.”

Since lists of competing athletes first came out a few weeks ago, the question regarding whether Jones, a Des Moines native, would compete in this year’s Drake Relays loomed heavily through the minds of many.

Jones has not posted a victory in the Relays since 2008.

The hometown favorite will continue her 2012 Olympic campaign by competing in the 100-meter hurdles, scheduled for precisely 3:07 p.m.

Coyotes forward suspended for rough behavior The Associated Press CHICAGO — The NHL suspended Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres indefinitely on Wednesday for knocking Chicago’s Marian Hossa out of the game — and maybe the playoffs — with a shoulder blow to the head.

Hossa won’t play in Game 4 on Thursday with the Coyotes leading the series 2-1.

He was at home resting, exchanging texts with his Blackhawks teammates less than 24 hours after he was carried off the ice on a stretcher and taken to a hospital.

The hard knock by Torres was the latest in a first round that has been dominated by brawls and violent hits.

The NHL scheduled a Friday hearing in New York for a player who has a reputation for big — and some say dirty — hits.

“I’ve seen a lot of other hits like it in the league. It’s a fast game,” Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said Wednesday.

Training for Olympics at ISU Student readies for Kenyan Olympic trials

I may be 18 and running against somebody who is like 25 ... [Age] doesn’t matter a lot, but it’s about how you train.”

Edward Kemboi

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com At the age of 17, sophomore Edward Kemboi left his native home of Eldoret, Kenya, for Ames and Iowa State, not really knowing what to expect when he arrived in the United States for the first time.

Kemboi said he did not know what it would mean being a student at Iowa State, and his freshman year was a big adjustment for him.

“I had expectations about coming to the United States,” Kemboi said. “I [thought I would] feel like I’m somewhere better than my home [country] and when I came, everything [including school] was really different. The first day of classes I would be 15 minutes late and carry around my map.”

But long before Kemboi had aspirations of coming to the United States, he started training in sixth grade for local races, some of which he would win.

Even though races would change distances as Kemboi became older, what did not change was that he would always stay at the front of the pack.

While in high school, Kemboi would run the 400-meter dash instead of the 800-meter run, the race that has brought him much success at Iowa State.

Running the 400 in Kenya brought him success also, so he would run on weekends in different events after graduating from high school.

It was at one of the weekend events that Kemboi and ISU coach Corey Ihmels first were put in contact with one another.

Kemboi said that he received advice from other people on if he would want to run in Iowa State’s program and then based his decision

on their advice.

“Iowa State is a good school with a good coach who will always be ready to assist you,” Kemboi said. “And I said, ‘Okay, this might be my time.’”

Ihmels said that besides Kemboi’s running talent, he saw other qualities in him that he thought would make Kemboi a good fit in the Iowa State program.

“He’s pretty conscientious and sensitive and just a very proud person,” Ihmels said. “He comes from pretty humble backgrounds, and it’s really important to him that he gets an education and makes his family proud and his country proud. He’s come a long ways and he’s a good person and just a good guy to have in the group.”

Kemboi said that he also chose Iowa State because “I just wanted to get out [of Kenya] and go some place that wasn’t really hot.”

However, he was not able to visit Iowa State before arriving on campus for classes for the second semester of the 2010-2011 school year.

Kemboi said he enjoyed Iowa except for one thing at that time.

“But when it comes to winter ... [I am not really used to that],” Kemboi said. “I am used to it being 75 degrees throughout the winter in Kenya.”

Throughout his first two years at Iowa State, Kemboi has been an asset to the team breaking the 800-meter run school record in the 2011 outdoor (1:46.06). Ihmels said that with Kemboi still being so young, the ceiling for his running potential is very high.

Photo: Jordan Maurice/Iowa State Daily Edward Kemboi positions himself during the 800 meter run on Jun. 8, 2011, during last year’s NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

“If he continues to progress outdoors and we end up running him and he gets some good opportunities, I think he’s got the capabilities of being in the Olympics,” Ihmels said. “Going to the Olympics and running for Kenya is like going to the NFL or the NBA in the United States so the fact that we’re sitting here talking about that just speaks vol-

umes of what I think he’s capable of doing. He’s got what it takes not only athletically but just his personality and just the way he goes about things go hand in hand with his abilities.”

Kemboi said that he is really looking forward to trying to achieve an A-standard to run in the Kenyan Olympic Trials and that his young age does not intimidate him

when running against older competitors.

“Age doesn’t matter much,” Kemboi said. “When you are in a race, it doesn’t matter much. For me, I may be 18 and running against somebody who is like 25, but he doesn’t have a lot of speed, so I’m in a position to beat him. For me, [age] doesn’t matter a lot, but it’s about how you train.”

ISU rallies for win over Hawks Cyclones overcome two Iowa home runs

By Travis.Cammon @iowastatedaily.com The ISU softball team defeated in-state rival Iowa 4-3 in comeback fashion on Wednesday.

Action began early in the contest as ISU pitcher Tori Torrescano allowed back-to-back home runs in the second inning, which opened the game up for Hawkeyes (17-22, 7-5 Big Ten).

“I think that for a second [the home runs] got us back on our heels a little bit,” said coach Stacy GemeinhardtCesler. “Then I thought in between innings [the team] talked about it, and we had to put it behind us and we know that we can score more than two runs, and we were going to be alright.”

But the Cyclones had the answer to Iowa’s home runs when first basemen Erica Miller hit a two run home run, tying the game for Iowa State (1328, 1-11 Big 12).

“I don’t want to say that was luck,” Miller said. “That pitcher is my age and I’ve been playing against her every year.

“I know she doesn’t throw the fastest, but she has good speed, and so I was just trying to hit it as hard as I could.”

The home run is the 26th of Miller’s career putting her in second in Iowa State history. “[Miller is] huge,” GemeinhardtCesler said. “The thing about her is she works so hard.

“She loves the game; she loves to compete; she’s a great student; and she’s everything you want in a student athlete.”

The 2-2 tie was broken in the top of the sixth inning however when Iowa left fielder Ashley Akers hit a

Sara Davison

solo home run putting the Hawkeyes ahead 3-2.

Torrescano was replaced in the same inning after allowing five hits and three runs.

Taylor Smith (4-3) took the circle and finished the game for the Cyclones pitching 1.1 innings with two hits and no runs.

“Tori did a great job throughout the game,” Smith said. “It was a good confidence builder I think.

“And I think games like that are the ones that help you at the end of the season.”

The Hawkeyes took the lead into the bottom of the seventh inning before Sara Davison was able to hit an RBI single that scored the tying run for the Cyclones.

“They took a time out, and I went to talk to coach ‘G’ and she told me take the first pitch and try and drive it,” Davison said, “I was thinking about hitting it to the right side and scoring the run and taking the out.

But she told me to take one pitch and swing hard.”

Then Miller, who began the day

with a home run, capped off her day with an RBI double to score the final run and seal the victory for the Cyclones.

“I didn’t really see it,” Miller said.

“But I know I usually hit the ball pretty hard so as long as I put the bat on it, it goes pretty hard.”

Iowa State faced Iowa earlier in the season in a Tempe, Ariz., and took a pounding as the Iowa offense exploded for a decisive 26-5 win over the Cyclones.

“I remember [the Iowa loss] still,” Miller said. “Even though it was nice to win today and it was good to beat them here in Iowa in state with our fans, it definitely still kind of stung a little bit.

“But we got the last laugh.”

Cyclones gain momentum for final meets Preparation still needed for ISU

[W]e still want to have a little bit of pressure, we still need to learn to play under pressure and don’t let them slide by us as much.”

Armando Espinosa

By Michael.Schmitt @iowastatedaily.com Going into the last two meets of the regular season, the ISU tennis team has some momentum.

After a 6-1 win against Kansas and a close 4-3 loss to Kansas State, the Cyclones (4-16, 1-7 Big 12) are preparing for Texas Tech and Baylor this weekend.

The team really is not doing much differently in terms of preparing for the meets.

“At this point in the season it’s really just grooving and making sure we feel our shots are good,” said ISU senior Marie-Christine Chartier.

“There isn’t that much tactical that we’re going to change at this point, just make sure we feel good when we hit it.”

ISU coach Armando

Espinosa said the team is also done changing the doubles lineups.

“We’re just going to focus on what we’ve been working on,” Espinosa said. “We’re finally getting to the point where we’re set on the doubles teams.”

In the match against Kansas, which was Iowa State’s first conference win of the season, the Cyclones did something that they have been struggling with for most of the

season: holding onto a lead.

“We did a great job not letting them come back and the win came our way.” Espinosa said. “There was only one match that went three sets and everything else went kind of our way.”

ISU freshman Meghan Cassens also said the team needs to adapt to playing outside again. “[We’ll work on] being able to handle the wind,” Cassens said. “We play well inside but it’s hard to adjust outside, especially being in Texas because it gets really windy.”

Chartier felt like this was one of the first matches when all the players came ready to play.

“Everyone showed up, just every single match people were fired up and they were intense and there wasn’t a match that you felt like someone just didn’t show up,” Chartier said. “Everyone was there and cheering and even players

Cassens won her first set 6-4 and lost her second 2-6.

1-12, everyone was there. And it was early but we just took care of business.”

But against Kansas, it wasn’t all positives: The

Cyclones lost the doubles point after winning the No. 2 spot and having a 6-4 lead in the No. 3 spot.

“At the same time, we still

want to have a little bit of pressure, we still need to learn to play under pressure and don’t just let them slide by us as much,” Espinosa said.

Cyclones travel to California for slew of three weekend meets Ihmels calls logistics a ‘nightmare’ for meets

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com Mt. SAC Relays weekend means a weekend full of travel for the ISU men’s track and field team as the Cyclones head to California Bollman for three different meets in the state.

ISU coach Corey Ihmels said that scheduling for this weekend between meets at Mt. San Antonio College, the Beach Invitational and the Bryan Clay Invitational, is somewhat of a nightmare to try to figure out but it is important for both the runners and throwers.

“Philosophically, I kind of decided

that when I took over [the position] that I would target the meets that I knew we would get good competition and good weather in,” Ihmels said.

“Southern California and Phoenix, Ariz., are probably as steady as they come.

“That’s important that we give the kids the opportunity to run well and in good weather and with good feels and a good environment.”

Ihmels also said it is almost comical when they are in California traveling to three different competitions with vans going three different directions and training in three different places.

Redshirt freshman Alec Bollman will be running the 800 and 1,500-meter runs this weekend and said he is really looking forward to getting to California and facing the competition there.

“There are a bunch of heats for the 1,500 and no matter what heat I’m in,

it’s going to go really fast,” Bollman said. “I wasn’t too happy with my race last weekend so I’m looking to go out there and really make it happen.”

Bollman said he will try to go out in his race more aggressively to avoid starting and finishing in the back of the pack and hopefully have a good time against good competition.

The preparation, Bollman said, that he and the rest of the team have been putting in for this weekend has been tough but it will pay off when it comes time to race for the middle distance guys Thursday.

Ihmels said that while the trips to California can be hectic, they are a good experience for his runners.

“They’re not easy trips,” Ihmels said. “But you want to give the kids the opportunities that are there and that’s why we go to this meet because it is a three ring circus because we can get so many different opportunities for our athletes.”

Women get multiple heats to race all runners

By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com As the ISU women’s track and field team sets out on their busy weekend of three meets, the first stop on the list is the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif.

The Mt. SAC Relays have been known throughout the years for fast times and tough competition.

Heading into the weekend, coach Corey Ihmels said he is eager for the full weekend ahead.

“It’s a great trip for us,” Ihmels said.

“We get to take our whole team, and this is the first time we’ve been together since indoors “And we get our bang for our buck, ev-

erybody gets to race a few times.”

The hectic weekend is not the first for the Cyclones.

In early April, the track and field team had Elahi similar scenarios, traveling over the states of Arizona and California but within their respective squads.

During the weekend before the Drake Relays, Ihmels said it is unfortunate to have such a busy weekend right before one of the biggest weekends for track in the country, but he could not let a weekend with the Mt. SAC Relays slip away.

“A lot of the kids are going to get two or three opportunities,” Ihmels said. “It’s one of those opportunities that is hard to pass up because so many good things can come out of it.”

not concerned with what heats his athletes are going to be placed in for the relays this weekend.

With a confident state of mind, Wiens said the weekend is shaping up to be worth the travel.

“Kianna and Ese got into the elite heats on Saturday, [and] our 4x400[-meter] relay is in the elite 4x4 race,” Wiens said. “I think we were the last ones in lane nine, and I don’t care: Our girls can race.”

Wiens talked specifically about the competition that will be at the Mt. SAC Relays this weekend but said he is not worried his runners will not perform.

“We’re up against some front team,” Wiens said. “It’s going to be a true test.”

By Michael Still Ames247 writer Towering metal structures, electrifying rock music and a cast of 24 devoted actors and actresses are all set to take center stage this weekend as ISU Theatre brings one of the most popular musicals to Fisher Theater.

ISU Theatre’s Stars Over Veishea production of “Rent” opened last Friday and will perform again Veishea weekend.

Stars Over Veishea is the annual musical that the ISU Theatre program puts on during Veishea week. It has been a popular tradition at Iowa State for many years, and productions have included “Music Man,” “Guys and Dolls” and “Kiss Me Kate.”

This year, the Broadway hit “Rent” is added to the long list of Stars Ovet Veishea shows.

“Rent” is one of the more popular musicals in the country right now. The story is based on Giacomo Puccini’s opera “La Boheme,” and it’s set in New York’s Lower East Village during a time when AIDS was becoming a major problem.

It follows a group of friends over the course of a year, as they experience love, tragedy and poverty together.

Brad Dell, director of “Rent” and assistant professor of theater, has always had a strong connection to the

Performance When: April 20 to 21 at 7:30 p.m.

What: Stars Over Veishea: “Rent” Where: Fisher Theater Cost: $16 for students, $21 for adults show and thought it was time for Iowa State to tackle the production.

“I’ve always wanted to do this show,” Dell said. “It came out in 1996 when I was 16 years old, and it means so much to me as it was a major part of the formative years of my life.”

The cast has been working hard since February to make this show a success.

They have rehearsed their musical numbers, choreographed the dances, learned their lines and developed their characters. However, the actors are not the only ones who had to put in a lot of effort to make “Rent” really come alive.

Rob Sunderman, the scenic designer for “Rent,” has been hard at work designing the set for the production. He read the script, listened to the music, researched the story and made multiple sketches and models.

All in all, his main goal

Photo: Andrew Clawson/Iowa State Daily The cast of “Rent” work to get everything right during a dress rehearsal of the production April 10 at Fisher Theater.

was to communicate his ideas and thoughts as best as he could.

“The play to us as a production team is about family.

Young artists coming together and being pulled apart, trying to survive the artist’s lifestyle,” Sunderman said.

“I wanted the set to reflect this through line, color, steel, texture and space. There is a definite contrast between the cool metal industrial feel and the fabric quilt look of the colorfully painted pallets.”

Another person who has been working to make “Rent”

a success is Kiah Kayser, the show’s stage manager. Apart from calling the numerous light and sound cues for the show, she and the backstage crew also makes sure that everything is ready and set before performances.

“On a daily basis before a performance, we first make sure everyone is there,” Kayser explained. “Then we do a sound mic test with the actors and make sure each of them has their hand props.

We also preset any props or set pieces that need to happen before the show starts.”

Like the characters in “Rent,” the cast and crew have formed a sense of community during the months of rehearsals.

From rehearsals to production meetings, the team has devoted countless hours to making “Rent” the best it can be.

“This is a rock concert that hugs the audience,” Dell said. “It is a powerful play about a community of people, and hopefully the audience will feel like a part of the community of humanity we are trying to create.”

Kimya Dawson to play intimate show

By Vincent Geerts Ames247 writer Singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson does not tour as much now she is an active mother, but her most recent four-show tour includes a date Thursday at The Space for Ames between bigger venues in Minneapolis and Madison, Wis. Dawson said her visit to Ames would be “like a nice little breath.”

“I love Ames,” she said. “I used to play Ames on pretty much every tour back in the day.”

Dawson visited Ames many times with Adam Green, her counterpart in indie group The Moldy Peaches.

Though it has been many years since her last visit, Dawson is “more than looking forward” to it.

Mumford’s frontman Nate Logsdon said she first contacted the band on Twitter, and soon worked with him to schedule a show reminiscent of her previous visits.

“It’s probably the biggest show we’ve ever had [at The Space],” Logsdon said. “She’s a great songwriter and known as a wonderful performer.”

Dawson’s work has been featured in various films, most notably “Juno,” earning her national acclaim.

In addition, she has collaborated with artists like Aesop Rock, They Might Be Giants and The Mountain Goats.

“I used to visit John Darnielle [of The Mountain Goats] when he lived in Ames,” Dawson said.

“While he’s not there anymore, I still might see a couple other old friends.”

Her material comes as somewhat of a surprise; Dawson never makes a set list more than 15 minutes before a show.

She said to expect material ranging from all of her solo albums, but song choice depends on her mood.

Logsdon expects a full house and advised concert-goers to arrive early. He said, “Getting to see Kimya in that small of a space is really affordable,” for only $10.

Dawson does not anticipate her schedule to lighten up soon, between being a mom and releasing new music.

Panthers revealed at parade

Kimya Dawson When: April 19 at 8 p.m.

Doors open at 7:15 p.m.

Where: The Space for Ames.

Cost: $10.

A full length album entitled “Hokey Fright” will feature Dawson alongside American hip hop artist Aesop Rock under the name “The Uncluded.”

She will also be releasing a limited edition 10” single with Atmosphere music group on Record Store Day, this Saturday.

Christian Petersen’s “larger-than-life” sized bronze panthers will be viewed for the first time at Iowa State during the Veishea 2012 parade.

The Petersen panthers are two sculptures that were created by Petersen in his earlier years before coming to Iowa State. They originally sat on two cobble stone posts at the entry way of the Wildacres estate in Rhode Island and were later moved to the grounds of Middlebury College in Vermont.

A little over a decade ago, University Museums had been going through some of Petersen’s kept papers and discovered a picture of the panthers on the Wildacres estate.

A search for the panthers soon began so they could be added to the art on campus at Iowa State.

In 2010, the Petersen panthers were found at Middlebury College and eventually made their way into the hands of University Museums.

Soon the panthers were restored by Francis Miller, an art restorer for ConservArt in Hamden, Conn., who has done other conservation work to the art on campus. With the restoration, the panthers now look as they did when Petersen first created them.

The panthers arrived at Iowa State on Monday, and are now awaiting the “official” public reveal during the Veishea parade.

Darlington is retiring after 36 years of service, and a reception for him will be Wednesday from 4 to 5 p.m. in the Music Hall lobby.

Q: What have you learned from the students you instruct?

A: I’m always looking to increase my idea of how to teach certain types of things, not just the music but the technical things, and sometimes I’ll find a student will come up with a new bowing, a new fingering, a new way of looking at something, and I’ll say, “Oh, I hadn’t thought about it quite that way.”

I think you’re always a lifetime learner. It’s kind of a cliche, but it’s true.

You can’t be just stuck in your ways and say this is the only way to do it. So, I’m always looking for new ways, and each student brings different challenges.

Q: What have you learned from your Ames Piano Quartet colleagues?

A: They’re an extended family. It’s like any family that you have. I suppose it’s like being a student in a dorm — those people aren’t related to you, but in a way they are because you see them every day when you come back to the room. It’s that kind of thing.

We live closely together during our rehearsals, and many days we eat lunches together.

We’re good friends, and part of the reason I think this has worked for so long is that

there’s mutual respect all around, and we’re compatible personality-wise.

I think it’s one of those things where you give and take, and nobody really puts their foot down and says, “This is the way it has to become.” It’s a family; it’s a family unit, and it’s mutual respect and friendship that make it work.

Q: What has been the most rewarding part of being in Ames Piano Quartet?

A: Part of it is that it’s given us a chance to not just be teachers here but to be a group that has received some acclaim. We’ve been told we are the most recorded piano quartet in the world. We’ve received incredible kudos for all of our CDs. We made 14 CDs, and that’s a lot of music when you figure there may be close to 70 minutes on a CD. One of the most rewarding things is having been able to perform the bulk of the literature and discover new pieces that haven’t been part of the standard literature and bring that to the public. I guess feeling that I’ve made a dent in the music world, in my little spot in the music world. Everybody doesn’t know who I am, but in the chamber music world, we’ve carved out a niche for ourselves, and our CDs are played around the world.

Q: What are your plans after retirement?

A: This dog that I have, Clara the labradoodle, she’s going to become a therapy dog. I’ll take her when there’s the next class, it might not be until fall. ... Probably some volunteer kinds of things, I want to do some traveling.

On May 15, I’m going to fly to probably Georgetown, D.C., and the Bahamas and sail for a couple weeks with a friend. ... My wife and I do sailing when we can, and we don’t have a boat, we don’t have any water here.

So, at some point when she retires, maybe two, three, four years, we may move to somewhere where we can do more sailing.

Laughter erupted from the Maintenance Shop on Tuesday night as students performed in “Veishea Says I’m Funny,” a stand-up competition.

After many side-splitting jokes and hilarious anecdotes, Joey Ficken, a marketing major, came out on top.

“I started doing comedy since January of 2010, so a little over two years [ago],” Ficken said. “This is my third time doing Veishea. Last year, I placed, and I was really surprised that I won.”

Ficken said his hand shook as he took the release form to get paid his $25 prize money.

“Joey has improved a lot since his first year,” said Connor Nolan of the Student Union Board. “His stage presence has gotten better and so have his jokes.”

Ficken’s joke forming process is very organic. “I’ll be with my friends and start to think ‘How can I turn this into a joke?’” he said.

>>PANTHERS.p09 University Museums hopes the sculptures will be much anticipated, and the public introduction will also include, after the parade, the installation of the Petersen panthers to the Art on Campus Collection right outside of Morrill Hall in the Anderson Sculpture Garden. The parade will begin at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, and the panthers will be installed around 1 p.m.

Though people walking on campus can see them right now, they are not being placed in the permanent spots just yet. Because the panthers arrived earlier this week, they need to have the site prepped for Saturday so the installation is quick and simple. Also, one of the sculptures needs to be carved more so it can properly fit into its spot and look well done. The sculptures are covered every night throughout the week to protect them from any sort of damage.

Allison Sheridan, the communications coordinator for University Museums explained that “though people think that the panthers were not going to be revealed until Saturday, it’s hard to avoid them not seeing the panthers.”

“When people walk by, it’s interesting to see that they are surprised to see the sculptures already. And then they comment on how cool they are, because they are a different type of sculpture compared to the others.”

Sheridan said the Anderson Sculpture Garden was the spot to permanently place the panthers “because it is sort of University Museums turf and the spot allows them to put ever-changing and permanent exhibitions in the particular spot.”

“We wanted a spot that was more obscured and woodsy, an out of sight place that would sort of shock people when they go by,” Sheridan added.

Modified and organic crops Emerging Terrain draws can coexist in agriculture changes on I-80 corridor

By Elizabeth.Polsdofer @iowastatedaily.com The future of the agricultural industry as well as discussions on how organic-only farms can coexist with farms that use genetically modified crops were on the table at the Agricultural Biotechnology Regulation, Trade and Coexistence Conference.

The conference was held on Wednesday at the Gateway Hotel and Conference Center in Ames.

The conference included experts from the organic and traditional farming industries, regulation leaders and academics who study genetically modified crops.

Among those attending were Gregory Jaffe, director of the biotechnology project for the Center for Science in the Public Interested is a non-profit organization in D.C. that focuses on education regarding the agricultural and food industries.

“When I come to Iowa State, I like to meet with academics ... to understand their perspective on these issues as well as figure out what information they have,” Jaffe said. “I try to bring a policy perspective here from Washington about how others might view how these crops are used.”

Jeffrey Wolt, professor in agronomy and an active researcher with Biosafety Institute for Genetically Modified Agricultural Products, explained it is important to discuss the issues.

“We feel it’s very important in the state of Iowa where there is so much production of genetically modified crops that we do a good job of discussing all of the issues that surround it,” Wolt said.

Wolt said that the rapid advances in biotechnology are a challenge because the rate at which regulation policies can change are much slower than the advances in biotechnology.

515.294.4123

“There’s a lot of new innovations that are going to be available in coming years and how that impacts the way they’re regulated because biotechnology is changing so quickly that the way it’s regulated has to keep up with it,” Wolt said. “That’s a hard thing.”

The changes in farm technology were key points for many attendees of the conference.

“If you’re a small farmer in Iowa and you want to make a good living by, say, selling an organic production which is going to have high value, we need to make sure that can be done...,” Wolt said.

Jaffe said education for a lay audience also needs to be a priority.

“I think one of my goals in these conferences as well as just generally in my job is to educate the press, educate the public, educate policy makers about what the real facts out there are,” Jaffe said.

“There’s a lot of misinformation out there.”

Anne Trumble is the founder of Emerging Terrain, a non-profit research and design collaborative. The organization has brightened several grain elevators across an I-80 corridor in Omaha, Ne. “This one project started the entire group,” Trumble said, who was on campus Wednesday. Trumble started by cleaning up the area. They recruited the city’s parks and recreations to clean up.

After the area was clean, Trumble began to have artists submit artwork that they would like to see on the grain elevator and received over 500 submissions.

“It took the jury 14 hours to go through them all,” Trumble said. The images had to do with landscape, food and agriculture. The submissions came from all over the United States until finally they had chosen 13 winning pieces. They did the artwork on huge loose leaf vinyl mesh.

“The material allowed breathing and didn’t trap water in,” Trumble said. Then the organization put a huge dinner table at the bottom of all the grain elevators.

www.iowastatedaily.com/classifieds

“We decided to have a sort of epic community dinner,” Trumble said, who helped organize the dinner held on Oct. 2, 2010.

“We wanted to do a locally grown dinner, and the caterer was doing things with kiwi and curry and that’s not what my vision was,” Trumble said. So Trumble went to local restaurants and designed teams. Then she went out and got the ingredients from farms as the teams developed their courses. The dinner turned into a competition.

Once the day of the dinner came, 53 platters went with the help of volunteers.

The table cloth was made of a canvas and they left markers out for people to draw on it. “We got some pretty amazing drawings because most the people who went were artists,” Trumble said.

The theme for the other side of the elevators is future transportation, for which art has already been chosen. Another community dinner will be on June 3.

Tumble’s organization will be looking for new designers coming in May, something for graduating students to consider. “It pays well and is wacky and fun,” Trumble said.
