BEST, BRIGHTEST OF ‘11-’12

By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com

here is no yearbook at Iowa State. There has not been one since 1994, when “The Bomb” bombed, so to speak. That is one thing we noticed in planning out how to end our year. Today’s paper is our last real paper; the finals week edition is always a different, tabloid format. We noted, in that meeting, that a lot of really cool things have happened at Iowa State this year. On this column’s sidebar is our list of the Top 10 most important events. Today’s Daily is different from all the others we have done this year. We have dispensed with our normal formatting and our normal practice of relying on words to tell our stories. We have not printed any new content today, in fact. One reason for the Daily’s existence is so that students can practice the journalism they study, but we had our end-of-semester party yesterday. The party that is this edition of the Daily is for you. So here it is, in your hands: our best photographs from what we thought were the most important stories on campus since August. History, which is involved with any yearbook project, is the study of change. That much is self-evident: Of course the past is different from the present. Much as we would like to equate some current events to those of yesteryear, in anything from our own lives to the state of our country, we do not live in the past. As a history major, however, I have learned in the past four years that history is also the study of continuities through change. History deals just as much with comparison

Top 10 events 1. ISU football team’s win over Oklahoma State 2. Steven Leath assuming the position of ISU president 3. Publication of the word “squintey” in the Daily, the “Just Sayin’” section ending 4. Royce White’s headline-filled season 5. Veishea 2012 6. Debate over “pink slime,” or lean finely textured beef 7. ISU men’s basketball team’s return to the NCAA tournament 8. Emergence of the Occupy movement 9. Iowa State’s Dance Marathon’s record-breaking total donation 10. Iowa State’s record attendance As voted on by Daily editors

as it does with contrasts. We also dispensed with our sections for today. There is no News section, no Sports, no Ames247 and no Opinion. We have told the ISU story chronologically, rather than thematically. Some of these events are bigger than others. It may be easier for you to remember the football team’s victory against Oklahoma State or Royce White’s departure to the NBA than it is for you to recall the Iowa Straw Poll, Destination Iowa State or the fact that some students began their year sleeping in dormitory dens rather than in real accommodations. But none of those events were isolated. Just like always, everything important that happened here or was done by Iowa Staters exists

If we go through our lives without ever changing, we have learned nothing. And learning is what we’re here to do. within the context of other events. My first three years here, I was disengaged from most things about Iowa State. I held the university (including this newspaper I now work for) and its community in contempt. Since becoming more involved, however, I have noticed that this year has been the crucible of an explosion of activity. Before classes began, politicians and media from all over the country flocked to Ames to cover the Republican Party in the Iowa Straw Poll, which can be an indicator of who will become the nominee for president. During movein, students descended on Ames in droves of thousands, and the Department of Residence had to improvise to provide them all with living space. President Gregory Geoffroy ended his tenure as president of our university, and Steven Leath replaced him in January. Since then, more leadership changes have taken place — deans, vice presidents and now a provost. In a major upset, our football team defeated the No. 2-ranked team from Oklahoma State. Dance Marathon raised record amounts of money for the Children’s Miracle Network. With the Occupy movement, students organized protests and injected themselves into issues they thought were important. They continued doing so, after a mistake with our “Just Sayin’” column, and exposed the prevalence of prejudice here. Students for and against the

beef industry’s use of “lean finely textured beef” spoke out about it, and Gov. Terry Branstad even took part in a forum to dispel popularized factual inaccuracies on it. Student debt persisted as an issue, so much so that President Barack Obama visited the University of Iowa on Wednesday. We learned that the Regents require Iowa State to hold back a certain portion of tuition money for scholarships to other students, and the legislature continued to debate how much money it would fund the Regents. And with Veishea, we celebrated it all. We at the Daily have gone out on limbs we have never gone out on before with products such as our tablet edition, PDF editions for the OSU game and the caucuses, and new formatting styles. Iowa State and its student body have also gone out on limbs they’ve never gone out on before. This year has been one of great change, great enthusiasm and great participation. As you peruse these pages, consider how far the Iowa State community has come in the past year. Consider where it has not gone, what has been left undone. And to everyone who is not yet moving on from Iowa State — consider where we should go in the future. Above all, consider how we have learned from each other. Note how we’re similar to when we began our adventures, and how we’re different. Change isn’t bad; it’s just different. It is from what is different that we learn; if we go through our lives without ever changing, we have learned nothing. And learning is what we’re here to do.

BIG YEAR | BIG CHANGES 2011-2012 ‘one for the record books’ School year full of new people, new perspectives By Frances.Myers @iowastatedaily.com

The Iowa Board of Regents named Leath the new ISU president a few days later on Sept. 27. Before becoming the president of Iowa State, Leath was the vice president for research and sponsored programs for the University of North Carolina system.

From new students to new faculty to an influx in the political scene, this year can surely be referred to as one for the record books. In fall 2011, Iowa State welcomed a record-breaking 29,887 students, an increase of 1,205 from 2010. With this record came the issue of where to house all these students. “I think the increase was handled very well,” said Tom Hill, vice president of student affairs. ”It is a testament to the faculty, students and the Ames community. I have been here for 15 years, and this year Iowa State had the biggest enrollment in our history, and this has also been the smoothest start. Everyone is to be complimented in my view.” This year Iowa State has seen transitions in faculty at all levels, including at the top with the exit of President Gregory Geoffroy. It was announced in September that Steven Leath, hailing from the University of North Carolina, would take Geoffroy’s position. “I think [Leath] will do excellent,” Hill said. “He is off to a great start. He has been put into a situation where he is getting to know the university. Geoffroy has done a very good job in his time and given over the reins, leaving the university in very good shape.” In October, the political scene, which was already getting some notice from the Iowa Straw Poll in August, gained momentum with Occupy Iowa. The movement started with Occupy Wall Street, which turned into a nationwide protest against the amount of corporate money in the political system. “The political scene impacts campus greatly,” Hill said. “It’s a significant learning experience for students, and it helps them become productive citizens in our society.” Throughout the year, politics would gain plenty of attention with such events as the caucuses in January and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Iowa State’s campus in early March. Continuing into the second semester, more records would be set and broken. Dance Marathon, the largest studentrun organization on Iowa State’s campus, had its annual event “Kickin’ it for the Kids.” This year they raised a record-breaking total of

$380,742.15 for the University of Iowa Children’s Medical Center, a $116,452.01 increase from last year and highest in ISU Dance Marathon’s history. Attendance at their big event was another record-breaker with over 810 participants. In February, Iowa State would become acutely aware of an issue lurking on campus: discrimination. A controversial submission was printed in “Just Sayin’s” in the Daily, where someone used the word “squintey.” This caused an uproar among ISU students some of whom believed it was referring to “squinney,” a Central Iowan term used for ground squirrels, while others believed it was a racist term referring to people of Asian ethnicity. The ISU and Ames communities came to realize just

This has been an excellent year. The transitions at the top went very smoothly. ... It is a credit to everyone involved.” Tom Hill how prevalent different types of discrimination were on campus. Actions were taken to combat and raise awareness of discrimination. The “Just Sayin’s” were removed from the Daily, and students were educated in many ways, including the Iowa State Conference on Race and Ethnicity, to learn more indepth about how detrimental to society discrimination can be. Another bout of change would happen in April when Gov. Terry Branstad came to Iowa State to discuss the recent issue of “lean finely textured beef,” also known as “pink slime.” The event, “The Truth: Lean Finely Textured Beef” was held as a forum to show the scientific side of the issue. Both protesters and supporters of the issue appeared at the forum. As the 2011-2012 ISU school year comes to a close, the recording of change and action will continue with the students, faculty and staff who will remain at Iowa State. As Hill put it: “This has been an excellent year. The transitions at the top went very smoothly, and the faculty, staff and students have worked very hard to ensure that there is a positive feel to campus. It is a credit to everyone involved.”

Leath, who took office Feb. 1, was elected unanimously by the Board of Regents as the university’s 15th president.

The 2011-2012 year for ISU sports saw milestones and upsets. It saw some highs and some lows, and a few bittersweet moments. Fans fell even more in love with two coaches, football coach Paul Rhoads and men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg, after seasons that surprised people across the country. And for the mastermind behind the ISU sports universe, it could not have been better. “This year may have been the year of the fan,” said ISU Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard. “Because the excitement, clearly with those two home games in Iowa and Oklahoma State, and then the resurgence of basketball under Fred [Hoiberg]. It was clearly one of the best years of all time.” Pollard cited academic success and a convincing win in the annual Iowa Corn CyHawk Series as reasons this could go down as one of the most successful years in ISU sports history. The athletic director said that success is made possible because the athletic department has committed itself to improving facilities equipment for its coaches and student-athletes. Far and away, though, the biggest and most memorable moment — perhaps in the history of ISU sports, not just 2011-2012 — was the football team’s upset of No. 2 Oklahoma State on Nov. 18. Pollard chuckled briefly when asked the biggest story on campus this year, saying there was no question about it. “I think it’s without a doubt beating Oklahoma State that day,” Pollard said. “It was the first time we’d ever beat a topfive team in the history of Iowa State. We did on national TV on a Friday night. We were the college football story for the next 24 hours. It was a great infomercial for Iowa State University with the fans on the field at the end of the game. “That may be one of the top moments in the history of Iowa State.” What meant the most to

Pollard that night, however, was that the ISU fans got to see a monumental upset unfold in front of them. Along with the men’s basketball team averaging a little more than 13,000 fans per game, football fans set a record, having 50,000 or more fans at each home game. Giving those fans a memory in Jack Trice was what was special for Pollard. “I think it was the fact that our fans got to experience it,” Pollard said. “Going and beating Nebraska and Texas were neat and fun, but when it happens here on your own turf? There were 50,000-some people that got to just enjoy it.” The OSU win may have been the biggest, but it was but one achievement in a season full of them. In addition to that win, the football team broke a three-year losing streak to Iowa, and reached the Pinstripe Bowl, its second bowl appearance in three years under Rhoads. Individually, Kelechi Osemele and Leonard Johnson received attention for attending the NFL Draft Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. The men’s basketball team broke a streak of its own, returning to the national rankings, ending the regular season ranked No. 25 and finished third in the Big 12 regular season standings. They parlayed that into its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2004-2005. Then, in a win against Connecticut and a loss to eventual-national champion Kentucky, forward Royce White vaulted himself into NBA draft discussion and turned professional. In other areas, the women’s cross-country team became the fifth ISU program to capture a Big 12 championship. The volleyball team returned to the Elite Eight for the second time in five years, and the women’s basketball team returned to the NCAA Tournament for the sixth straight season. In wrestling, though the team didn’t have its greatest season, former ISU wrestler Jake Varner qualified for the 2012 summer Olympics for freestyle wrestling. As you will see through the rest of this final regular edition of the Daily for the 2011-2012 school year, most of the events above are cataloged in photos forever, to give fans that lasting image of the season that was.

Veishea could be considered as Iowa State’s final celebration before classes let out for the summer and after this year, campus has a lot to celebrate. Big changes have been made throughout the university, from a new president to record-breaking sports seasons. But the entertainment side of campus has plenty to be proud of as well. In several areas, ranging from local music to theater, Ames is making its mark in the entertainment world. In September, the local music scene gained more recognition after musicians Chris Lyng and Nate Logsdon formed the first annual Maximum Ames Music Festival. Lyng and Logsdon booked bands for one weekend to perform at venues all around Ames. The festival brought in more than 60 performances and featured not only Ames and surrounding Iowa bands but also national touring groups, including Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and The Mountain Goats. A second large music marathon occurred in February, during the fourth annual 15

The show was used as a fundraiser for the Space, and all the bands “have made The Space part of their career,” Logsdon said in a previous Ames247 interview. The Ames entertainment scene also included a large, campus-wide trivia challenge. In March, the 46th annual Kaleidoquiz was sponsored by campus radio station KURE and included 26 hours of scavenger hunts and trivia questions as teams competed to earn the most points by winning various games. March also marked an important month for ISU Theatre. “Six Characters”, a show originally performed last spring, was awarded the highest honor of “Outstanding Production of a Play” by the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, a national organization showcasing top theater productions and actors. Director Matt Foss, lighting designer Matt Meldrem and actors Brittny

Rebhuhn, Maddie Welterlen and Jeff White also received individual awards. The whole cast and crew of “Six Characters” were recognized with a distinguishing award. On April 14, the 30th juried Fashion Show took place in Stephens Auditorium. Student designers, models, directors and photographers spent months putting the production together, and the show featured a guest designer line by Todd Snyder. Megan St. Germain, senior in apparel merchandising design and production, also received a $5,000 paid internship with Snyder. Snyder was not the only big name to make an appearance at Iowa State this year. Popular musicians like Lupe Fiasco and Jay Sean also performed at Hilton Coliseum and at the Live @ Veishea concerts. R & B artist Iyaz even performed twice this year, once opening for Lupe in November and another during the Saturday Live @ Veishea concerts. B.J. Brugman, general co-chairman of Veishea, said Veishea is “intended to showcase” accomplishments made by various departments, and the week celebration is meant to display the year’s work. Through events like the Music Showcase Extraordinaire and Stars over Veishea’s production of “Rent”, local music, fashion and theater were all featured throughout Veishea week, showing off some of the year’s best achievements.

Many students as well as some professors discussed personal stories of racism they had encountered. The rally stemmed, in part, from comments published in the “Just Sayin’” section of the Daily that referred to a “squintey,” a word that could be a term for a ground squirrel or a racial slur toward people of Asian descent.
