Breaking stereotypes

Students, faculty and staff will be able to share what they’re looking for in Iowa State’s next president on an online forum, starting Wednesday.

Comments can be posted at http://www. presidentialsearch.iastate.edu/qualities, and each will be made public.

“Although we’re in the early stages of organizing the search process, we think it’s important to hear from students, faculty, staff and other individuals who have an interest in Iowa State and the selection of the new president,” said Board of Regents President David Miles in a news release.

“Our objective is to launch a successful presidency, not merely to hire a new president.

Identifying the desired qualities for the next president of Iowa State is a key first step, and we want to make sure we provide convenient ways for people to share their opinions.”

The Board will also host an open forum at 5 to 6:30 p.m. April 27 in 275 Scheman Building to discuss what the next president’s priorities and qualities should be.

On March 25, ISU President Gregory Geoffroy decided to step down no later than July 31, 2012.

By Katherine.Marcheski iowastatedaily.com “Judge us, you know you want to; you can judge us, but we won’t judge you.”

These were the beginning words directed toward passing students Tuesday outside of the Student Services Building.

The first student to step up to the challenge responded, “Why does it matter?” This was soon followed by the line-up applauding and replying, “That’s the point!”

About 20 students gathered in a line hold-

ing pieces of paper that had their name on the front, and their gender and sexual orientation on the back, which was revealed after a participant guessed.

Kellen Vance, junior in finance, was one of the first to take a shot at guessing the sexual orientation of the students in the line-up.

“It’s a little bit odd. I’m not really the judging kind. It’s hard to post a label, especially with all the ranges of gender expression. The idea of pansexual is new to me, so that was interesting,” Vance said.

Pansexuality is defined as “expressing or

involving sexuality in many different forms or with a variety of sexual outlets.” This means a person is attracted to an array of people and does not label him or herself as just liking men or just liking women, nor does it mean he or she lets gender determine who he or she chooses to fall in love with.

Randy Wells, freshman in psychology, said he also found this experience particularly intriguing. “[It’s like] taking a shot in the dark. Going

Students go barefoot for a cause

A new executive cabinet, finance director, and speaker and vice speaker of the Senate will be elected to serve during the 2011-2012 academic year at the Government of the Student Body meeting Wednesday.

The meeting will be the first by the newly elected GSB Senate.

Dakota Hoben, GSB president and senior in agricultural business, and Jared Knight, GSB vice president and junior in political science, have spent the last several weeks interviewing candidates to fill the executive seats.

“Jared and I meticulously surveyed applications and held interviews to examine each and every one of the candidates,” Hoben said.

“The individuals we will nominate on Wednesday evening are truly top-notch.”

They received 40 applications from students interested in serving on GSB, which exceeded the number of positions that need to be filled.

They weren’t barefoot because of the nice weather or because their flip-flops broke. Members of the TOMS Campus Club were participating in the national One Day Without Shoes event sponsored by TOMS Shoes to raise awareness of the lack of availability of shoes throughout the world.

Club members, along with others who knew about the event, were spreading awareness of the 40 percent of the world’s population that don’t have access to

Programs rank among nation’s best

By Carmen.Leng iowastatedaily.com Six ISU graduate programs are ranked among the nation’s best by U.S. News & World Report.

Each year, U.S. News ranks professionalschool programs in business, education, engineering, law and medicine.

The rankings are based on opinions about program excellence of the school’s faculty, research and students.

The statistics are collected from peer assessment data, deans, program directors and senior faculty to judge the academic quality of programs in their field on a scale.

The line-up was composed of members from the ISU Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Ally Alliance who were trying to promote the destruction of stereotypes and their validity.

The activity was to prove a person can not make an accurate assumption of another person’s sexual orientation.

Aaron Langlois, senior in hospitality management, was one of the line-up members and recruited participants during the event.

“It’s a simple way to demonstrate that stereotypes are wrong and guessing their sexuality proves how little we know about people from their appearance,” Langlois said. “Three out of four times I was guessed to be straight; I’m gay.”

“The ones who ignore us, it’s not going to change a thing. But the people who have been

participating have had a positive experience,” Langlois said.

“They realize you can’t gauge someone’s sexuality by the way they look or dress. People who walk by and say, ‘They are just a bunch of gays,’ well there’s nothing we can do.”

The demonstration lasted for more than an hour, and had a large turnout of participants and observers. “[The line-up] is a great way to disprove ste-

reotypes. The ‘gaydar’ is false, and the proof is right here,” said Chris Celania, junior in materials engineering and secretary of the LGBTAA. Celania reflected on watching the participants.

“A lot of people get embarrassed. Even if they are right they feel guilty for being right,” Celania said. “And if they are wrong they feel guilty, like they offended the person for guessing their sexuality wrong.”

Asparagus - $2.48

(price effective 4-6 through 4-12)

Asparagus is a nutritionally well-balanced vegetable. With only 4 calories per medium spear, it is a nutrition powerhouse, providing a wide array of nutrients needed for a healthy diet. It is a leading supplier of folic acid, providing 65% of your daily needs in a one-cup serving. According to the National Cancer Institute, asparagus is also a good source of glutathione, a potent cancer fighter.

Peak season for fresh asparagus is February through June. When shopping for asparagus, look for firm stalks with dry, tight tips. Fresh asparagus should snap when bent.

off, while others took their fliers and proceeded to walk away. Whether or not people removed their shoes, awareness was the main aspect of the group’s demonstration.

“I love TOMS Shoes,” said Paige Baenen, sophomore in apparel, merchandising and design production and TOMS Campus Club member. “I think it’s such a great cause to just raise awareness, because some people are just completely oblivious about the children that are in need in different countries, they’re just concerned about themselves.”

“Some of the people that walk by are just like, ‘Yeah, no, no thanks,’ and they complain that their feet are going to hurt, but kids are walking around in other countries barefoot all day. We’ve got nice, paved ground to walk on, but they’re walking on sharp walks and terrible things ... so I say, ‘Why not just do it for one day.’”

The large amount of people throughout the world that go without shoes and the impact that not having shoes has on people’s health compelled Devon O’Brien, club president and junior in journalism and mass communication, to bring the national event to the ISU campus.

“Almost half of the people in the world go without shoes, and that’s something that here in Iowa doesn’t necessarily occur to people,” O’Brien said. “I alone have at least 25 pairs of shoes, so I don’t think it would occur to students on the [ISU] campus that people go without shoes.”

“When I found out that 40 percent of people didn’t have them I wanted to do something to spread awareness of that.”

Some students outside of the TOMS Campus Club chose to go without shoes the whole day on their own accord. The event was heavily advertised online

by TOMS itself and groups similar to Iowa State’s TOMS Campus Club that advocate the work TOMS does to provide shoes to those who don’t have access to them with their one-for-one business model.

“It’s a good message because kids without shoes need shoes and it’s a day without shoes to raise awareness for that,” said Lynne Reiter, sophomore in sociology. “It’s a big issue that [people] need to know about.”

“Shoes are an important thing and on the TOMS site it [says] that shoes are a sign of status and we have so much of it we don’t even notice and we need to raise awareness for kids who need it.”

Students arrested after staged intersection sit-in ATLANTA — Seven students were arrested Tuesday after staging a sit-in at an Atlanta intersection, blocking traffic in a symbolic effort to raise awareness about a controversial immigration issue.

Georgina Perez, Viridiana Martinez, Jose Rico, Dayanna Rebolledo, Andrea Rosales, David Ramirez and Maria Marroquin were arrested near Georgia State University. “We want to show the people that we are undocumented and we’re not afraid,� Marroquin said.

All are illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as young children, they said, and were protesting the lack of support for the Dream Act in Congress.

The bill — which was defeated in December 2010 — would have given children who have grown up in the United States an opportunity to earn citizenship despite their family’s immigration status.

Georgia’s public colleges have adopted policies that officials say will prevent illegal immigrants from attending ďŹ ve high-demand schools and from being admitted ahead of legally and academically qualiďŹ ed residents at the rest of the state’s public institutions of higher learning. “That’s why I’m here today, because I’m ďŹ ghting for education for everybody,â€? Perez said. “It should not matter whether you have a nine-digit Social Security number. We’re all human beings!â€?

Last month, President Barack Obama took to a Spanish-language network to address the defeated Dream Act. “We didn’t get it passed this time, but I don’t want young people to be giving up because if people in the past had given up, we probably wouldn’t have women’s rights, we wouldn’t have civil rights,� Obama said dur-

ing a Univision-sponsored town hall meeting at Bell Multicultural High School in Washington. “So many changes that we’ve made had to do with young people being willing to struggle and ďŹ ght to make sure that their voices are heard.â€?

Opponents of the bill argued that undocumented workers are in violation of U.S. law and represent a strain on already strained social services. “The bill would reward and encourage the violation of American laws,� Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said before the act was defeated. “Americans want Congress to end the lawlessness, but this bill would have us surrender to it. “ According to recent census data, Hispanics now account for nearly one-quarter of children under the age of 18.

But while immigration remains a major contributor to Hispanic population growth, the recent recession and high employment rates may have prompted a tapering off in the rate of foreign-born nationals seeking U.S. residency.

America’s overall undocumented immigrant population — estimated at between 10 million and 11 million people — may even have declined in recent years, according to William Frey, a demographer at The Brookings Institution.

Accurate numbers, however, are difficult to acquire, he said.

National teen pregnancy hits all-time low rates

By Caitlin Hagan CNN Wire Service Despite popular shows like “Teen Mom� and “16 and Pregnant� making teen pregnancy a more popular topic of national conversation, the actual rate of teen pregnancies in the United States has declined to a record low, according to new statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In 2009, around 410,000 teenage girls, ages 15 to 19, gave birth in the United States.

That’s a 37 percent decrease from the teen birth rate in 1991. Then, 61.8 births per every 1,000 females was a teen pregnancy.

The rate has now dropped to 39.1 births per 1,000 women. Yet according to the United Nations, the rate of teen pregnancy in the United States is nearly nine times higher than in the majority of other developed nations.

In a press release attached to the new Vital Signs report, Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, the director of the CDC, wrote that despite the steady reduction in teen pregnancies over the last two decades, “still far too many teens are having babies.� “Preventing teen pregnancy can

Link from OKC bombing raises concerns

By Carol Cratty CNN Wire Service WASHINGTON -- In the aftermath of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI received a tip from an ABC journalist that the FBI viewed as a potential informant, according to a law enforcement official.

But the source denied the FBI actively tried to recruit the journalist as an informant and engaged in “pumping the reporter� to reveal the source behind the information, which dealt with who might have orchestrated the attack. That information did not turn out to be correct.

The story about the ABC newsperson ďŹ rst came to light in a report by the Center for Public Integrity.

The report said the ABC journalist passed along information that Iraqi Special Services was behind the bombing and “contracted seven former Afghani freedom

ďŹ ghters out of Pakistanâ€? for the operation.

According to the Center for Public Integrity, that information and the role of the reporter are contained in a 1996 FBI memo labeled as secret.

Timothy McVeigh was convicted of placing the truck bomb and executed.

The Center for Public Integrity said the reporter’s name is not disclosed in the FBI memo, but it described the person as “a senior official employed by ABC News for over 15 years.� The memo reportedly says the ABC journalist had “multiple contacts� with the FBI from 1995 to 1996 and had been assigned an informant number.

The law enforcement ofďŹ cial said it’s correct the journalist had an informant number but that was done in part to provide a means for the FBI to record the tip information.

The official insisted the FBI followed proper procedures.

journalist had acted out of a concern for public safety.

According to the report by the Center for Public Integrity, the FBI memo suggests the ABC journalist contacted the FBI because the network’s information indicated two other bombings were planned at federal offices in Los Angeles and Houston.

The report from the center included a statement from FBI Assistant Director Michael Kortan saying at the time of the incident there were “strict rules in place to govern the handling of reporters and people in other sensitive professions as sources of information.� Kortan told the center the FBI had no information to suggest those procedures were not followed.

Jeffrey Schneider, a spokesman for ABC News, told CNN he does not believe the journalist still works at the network, but would not identify who the network thinks was involved.

Chris Isham, former investigative reporter for ABC News and currently vice president and Washington bureau chief for CBS News, issued a denial Tuesday after media reports had linked him to the incident. “The suggestion that I was an informant for the FBI is outrageous and untrue,� Isham said. “Like every investigative reporter, my job for 25 years has been to check out information and tips from sources. “In the heat of the Oklahoma City bombing, it

By Terry Frieden CNN Wire Service WASHINGTON -- One day after Attorney General Eric Holder placed the blame squarely on Congress for forcing him to place the 9/11 plot conspirators before a military court in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Congress struck back.

At a congressional hearing dominated by Republican lawmakers and a panel heavy with Obama administration critics, the much-delayed decision was met with derision and accusations of partisan politics. “I ďŹ nd it a strange coincidence that the administration decided to announce this 180-degree turn in policy the day before this hearing, and on the very same day that the president announced his re-election campaign,â€? said Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wisconsin, the House Judiciary panel chairman. “I and many others believe that the security of the United States should not depend upon politics.â€?

First to testify was David Beamer, father of United Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer, who led the in-ight attack on the hijackers of the Washington-bound plane, which crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. His son’s ďŹ nal command “Let’s rollâ€? seemed still fresh in the minds of lawmakers of both parties who repeatedly offered condolences to the father.

David Beamer criticized the president for what he believes was an unnecessary two-year delay in meting out justice. “The policies of this administration cause us all to grieve anew. Instead of swift justice, President Obama worries that a military tribunal will offend the Muslim world. What about the effect of this needless delay on the morale of the American people?� he asked.

Rep. Dan Lungren, R-California, and other lawmakers vigorously applauded Beamer’s testimony. After Lungren was admonished for violating the rules that prohibit such demonstrations, he issued a soft apology. “I apologize for leading the applause after Mr. Beamer’s testimony but it was in my experience here one of the ďŹ nest pieces of testimony that I have heard.â€?

Democratic lawmakers pushed witnesses to acknowledge that a civilian trial could still be a suitable venue for future terrorism trials.

would not be unusual for me or any journalist to run information by a source within the FBI for conďŹ rmation or to notify authorities about a pending terrorist attack,â€? Isham’s statement said. “This is consistent with the policies at every news organization. But at no time did I compromise a conďŹ dential source with the FBI or anyone else.â€?

CBS News said in a statement it “has strict standards regarding the handling of source material and we are discussing the facts of the allegations with Chris. The events in question are a matter between the FBI and ABC News.�

Schneider said the FBI might have viewed the person as an informant but the journalist may not have felt he or she was acting in that capacity.

He said it’s possible a reporter might have told the FBI some information in order to check it out.

If a reporter has important safety-related information, Schneider said, the network’s policy is that the company president should be informed, and the president would then have contacted federal authorities.

Schneider said if the FBI was in fact trying to recruit a journalist it would be “absolutely wrong� and could endanger journalists. “The danger is people might begin to believe we are in league with the government and that could be deadly,� he said.

protect the health and quality of life of teenagers, their children and their families throughout the United States.�

The Vital Signs report looked at data from 1991 to 2009 and found that in addition to the steady decrease in the rate of teen pregnancies, there’s also been a decrease in the percentage of high school students even having sex.

More teens are using contraception too.

The CDC said the percentage of students who had sexual intercourse in the past three months without using any type of contraception decreased from 16 percent to 12 percent while the percentage of students using two different forms of contraception, for example, a condom and birth control pills increased from 5 to 9 percent.

Still, roughly 1,100 teenage women give birth every day. According to the CDC, that means one of every ten new mothers is a teenager.

The majority are Hispanic or African-American, with respective birth rates nearly double that of white teenagers. Combined, all teen pregnancies cost taxpayers about $9 billion a year.

Cultures clash as Oklahoma’s population grows

By Ed Lavandera and Tracy Sabo CNN Wire Service OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Marcelino Garcia’s threedecade journey from illegal immigrant to successful businessman has unfolded against an unlikely backdrop — the deeply conservative state of Oklahoma.

State leaders here have passed some of the country’s strictest immigration laws, including some that go beyond the controversial measures approved in Arizona last year. Latino activists said Oklahoma’s laws drove tens of thousands of Hispanic immigrants away, although an exact number is difficult to calculate.

But that makes the newest U.S. Census ďŹ gures even more remarkable: Oklahoma’s Hispanic population has nearly doubled in the last 10 years, from 179,000 to more than 332,000.

Latinos now account for 9 percent of Oklahoma’s 3.8 million residents, and are the largest minority group, surpassing the number of Native

Americans, who make up about 8.5 percent of the population. While Oklahoma’s population grew about 9 percent since 2000, the Hispanic population grew 85 percent and accounted for about half the state’s overall growth.

Garcia was 14 years old when he walked across rugged Southern California mountains in 1979 and quickly made it to Oklahoma to meet a brother who was already working here. He found a job washing dishes in a small Mexican restaurant. Four years later, Garcia became a U.S. citizen.

He went from washing dishes to working as a busboy, then a waiter and then managed the little restaurant.

Today, Garcia is the head of a small empire of businesses feeding Oklahoma City’s appetite for Tex-Mex. Garcia owns 12 restaurants, two meat markets, a tortilla factory and a banquet hall. He employs hundreds of people and he’s brought most of his 13 brothers and sisters from Mexico to work in the family business. “My dream was to have a little restaurant to work myself and my family,� Garcia

said during a recent lunch rush at Chelino’s restaurant in the popular downtown district, Bricktown. “But I think I passed my dreams 100 times more than I ever dreamed.�

When Garcia ďŹ rst arrived in Oklahoma, he struggled to ďŹ nd other Latinos. He found a Catholic church that had one Spanish-language Mass.

Garcia said his rise to success was often met with suspicious eyes. Some around town, he said, thought he was a maďŹ oso trafficking drugs into the state. “It used to bother me, but it doesn’t anymore,â€? Garcia said.

In Garcia’s 32 years living in Oklahoma, the last few have been the most difficult, he said.

He calls the anti-immigration laws racist. And yet, he said this state is home. “I’m Mexican, but I feel like Oklahoma City is my city,� Garcia said. “I belong to Oklahoma City.�

Republican state Sen. Ralph Shortey said he’s not surprised by the increasing number of Latino residents; Oklahoma can be a comfortable, prosperous place to move, legally or illegally, he said.

He has pushed tougher im-

migration laws he said will remove incentives for people to come to the state illegally and slow smuggling of humans and drugs through Oklahoma City.

A bill in the state Legislature now would allow law enforcement authorities to seize illegal immigrants’ property and vehicles.

Culturally, Shortey said, Oklahoma isn’t changing.

Latino residents “are not assimilating and enriching the culture of Oklahoma. They are invading the culture,� Shortey said. “Oklahoma is not the melting pot ... [Latinos are] not doing their culture any favors when it’s shoved into Oklahomans’ faces.�

David Castillo, president of the Greater Oklahoma City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said the state is going through “growing pains.�

He remembers sitting in his elementary school class with only two other Latino students; in recent years, he was a member of the city’s school board. In 2009, the Oklahoma State Department of Education reported 41 percent of Oklahoma City’s students were Hispanic.

He often testiďŹ es at Oklahoma’s Capitol, urging lawmakers not to alienate a booming segment of the population.

According to the Hispanic Chamber, there are more than 5,000 Hispanic-owned businesses in Oklahoma. Four hundred are members of the Hispanic Chamber. Castillo said the economic buying power of Oklahoma Hispanics has reached $5.8 billion. “The boom has just been incredible,� Castillo said. “It is the fear of the unknown, but the Latino population is growing across the nation, so it’s just reality.�

Documentary ďŹ lmmaker George Adams is chronicling the effects of these rapid demographic changes in Oklahoma.

Adams lives in Oklahoma City and directed the ďŹ lm “Panic Nation,â€? which is critical of state lawmakers’ efforts to pass anti-immigration laws.

He said Oklahoma has long enjoyed a unique relationship between Native American and Anglo cultures. “It’s deďŹ nitely a melting pot, but it’s always been a little backwards in its think-

ing,� Adams said of Oklahoma. “We’re a country of immigrants, but we really don’t like immigrants.�

Adams said he believes the latest U.S. Census ďŹ gures would have shown an even more dramatic jump in the state’s Hispanic population, but some immigrants weren’t willing to ďŹ ll out the census form. He said it’s not uncommon to ďŹ nd families made up of citizens and noncitizens, which makes all of them live in fear. “These people are used to living in the shadows,â€? Adams said. “They rarely go to the stores alone. They’ll go with their families.â€?

Garcia doesn’t live with that fear anymore. These days, he worries about sending his ďŹ ve children to college and keeping customers at his restaurant happy. He smiles when asked how a young kid from Aguascalientes, Mexico, ends up thriving in a city on the southern plains of the United States. “The climate is bad, the city isn’t very pretty,â€? Garcia said, “but it’s been a great place to raise my family.â€?

FBI seeks information Google builds undersea power spine along coast from Libyans in US

By Carol Cratty CNN Wire Service WASHINGTON — The FBI has begun interviewing Libyans who are living in the United States in a hunt for any possible threats to Americans, according to a law enforcement official.

The official described this as a “proactive effortâ€? spurred by the revolt in Libya and said the FBI has no speciďŹ c intelligence to indicate Libya is planning terror attacks. “We are making contact with Libyan visitors to determine whether there is a threat to Americans here or abroad,â€? said the source, who was not authorized to speak on the record. The FBI would not comment.

The FBI began conducting interviews this week and will concentrate on the parts of the United States with the highest population of Libyans.

The official said the FBI is seeking voluntary cooperation from Libyans in the United States and thinks ultimately the FBI could talk to thousands of people living or visiting here.

The FBI’s initiative was ďŹ rst reported by

the Wall Street Journal, which said investigators also hope to gather intelligence that could be helpful to allied military operations. The law enforcement official could not conďŹ rm that, but said if during the course of the interviews Libyans offer information that could be helpful to the coalition the FBI would willingly accept it.

While meeting with Libyans the FBI also is going to inform them of their civil rights “in case they feel threatened because of their ethnicity� during this time of war, according to the source.

The official said the FBI has not received any such reports so far.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations reacted to the FBI interviews by issuing a statement reminding American Muslims they are not required to talk to the FBI absent a legal subpoena.

CAIR did not tell Muslims to refuse to speak to the FBI, but suggested they consider having an attorney present.

CAIR also told Muslims if they are aware of any criminal activity going on in their communities it is their “religious and civic duty to immediately report such activity to local and federal law enforcement agencies.�

By Steve Hargreaves CNN Wire Service LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. — Google is helping build a massive undersea power cable along the East Coast that’s designed to ferry clean power from offshore wind farms to the country’s most populous region.

Starting off in southern Virginia and ending in northern New Jersey, the cable would lay on the sea oor some 10 to 20 miles offshore. It could carry up to 6,000 megawatts of clean electricity, enough to power nearly 2 million homes. “It’s a piece of what could become the interstate highway system of the electrical grid,â€? Bill Weihl, the company’s energy czar, said during a panel discussion at Fortune’s Brainstorm Green conference Tuesday. “It will make it easier for people to site offshore wind.â€?

Backers of the project hope the high voltage, DC-current cable will attract wind farm developers to construct farms off the East Coast.

But it’s expensive, and there are currently no commercial offshore wind farms in the United States. “It’s a bit of a chicken or an egg thing,� said Weihl, responding to critics who say that Google is getting ahead of itself by building a power cable where there’s currently no power production. “We see the opportunity to both make money and do some good.�

Google is an investor in the project, which is run by the transmission company Trans-Elect.

It has a 37.5 percent stake in the cable. Google ďŹ rst announced its involvement in October.

No word on when construction might begin, as Weihl said they are still in the design and permitting process, but added that it’s possible work could start within the next 12 months.

Forces loyal to Gbagbo lay down arms, surrender After days of heavy ďŹ ghting, forces loyal to Ivory Coast’s Laurent Gbagbo laid down their arms Tuesday, and the self-declared president was negotiating the terms of his surrender, his foreign minister said.

Calm was reported Tuesday afternoon in Abidjan, the West African nation’s largest city and the center of the battle between Gbagbo’s military and those loyal to his rival, Alassane Ouattara, who is recognized internationally as the legitimate president. “We must now do what we can do to have lasting peace,� said Alcide Djedje, the foreign minister, who participated in talks at the French ambassador’s residence in Abidjan.

Two of Gbagbo’s generals were in “the process of negotiating a surrender,� French Prime Minister Francois Fillon told parliament Tuesday. A U.N. official said Gbagbo asked for U.N. protection for himself during the negotiations.

Ouattara’s camp said it was sticking to a demand it has made all along: that Gbagbo recognize Ouattara’s victory at the polls, said spokesman Patrick Achi. “I think it is something very important,â€? Achi said. “The military ďŹ ght is almost over. As soon as he surrenders, all the ďŹ ghting will stop.â€?

French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said Ouattara wants Gbagbo to sign a letter saying he recognizes his rival as president.

Another key question is whether Gbagbo will remain in the Ivory Coast, said Choi Youngjin, head of the U.N. mission in the country. “Gbagbo had many options after the election, but he squandered his opportunities,� said Choi, who has been speaking with Ouattara as well as Gbagbo’s advisers. “I don’t know what options he has now.� “I think he [Gbagbo] knows everything is over for him,� said Youssoufou Bamba, Ivory Coast’s ambassador to the United Nations. “His military forces have been defeated. He is alone now.�

Bamba said Gbagbo should go on trial “because he has committed so much crime� against civilian and peaceful demonstrators.

But Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who served as the African Union’s main negotiator in Ivory Coast, said Ouattara and others should consider allowing safe passage for Gbagbo to Angola, South Africa or another country.

Choi said the combat is over and that only a few elements were out on the streets. An American resident of Abidjan, who did not want

to be identiďŹ ed, said she could hear sporadic gunďŹ re from her apartment but the heavy shelling and mortars had stopped.

Choi said Gbagbo was hunkered down in the basement of his Abidjan residence with his family. He said there were still guards posted around the house, but not many.

U.S. President Barack Obama called Tuesday for Gbagbo to “stand down immediately.â€? “Tragically, the violence that we are seeing could have been averted had Laurent Gbagbo respected the results of last year’s presidential election,â€? Obama said. “To end this violence and prevent more bloodshed, former President Gbagbo must stand down immediately, and direct those who are ďŹ ghting on his behalf to lay down their arms.â€?

Ouattara’s forces entered Abidjan on Thursday after an offensive that swept across the country. When they arrived, the sporadic post-election violence that had plagued Abidjan for four months escalated into war.

By Tuesday, they had surrounded the presidential palace. “We do not see why he shall not surrender,�

Achi said earlier, adding the new government may seek trial for Gbagbo in the International Court of Justice.

An Abidjan resident said state-run television, which has served as a powerful mouthpiece for Gbagbo, went dark Monday, a sign that Ouattara’s forces had overrun the building.

Gbagbo’s forces suffered a setback Monday when U.N. helicopters ďŹ red on one of its camps to prevent the use of heavy weapons against civilians and U.N. peacekeepers.

Djedje, the foreign minister, said the U.N. attack prompted Gbagbo’s forces to stop ďŹ ghting. “Since there was no more ammunition and weapons, they decided to lay down the arms and negotiate a cease-ďŹ re,â€? he said.

U.N. peacekeeping director Alain Le Roy told reporters the United Nations was not taking sides in the conict, but had to act after three days of ďŹ re from Gbagbo’s forces left four U.N. peacekeepers seriously injured. “We are shooting at heavy weapons. We are not shooting at the presidency,â€? Le Roy said.

The political chaos and violence has claimed hundreds of lives in Ivory Coast. In one of the bloodiest incidents yet, the International Committee of the Red Cross reported the killings of 800 people last week in the western cocoa-producing town of Duekoue.

Americans survive week in Syrian jail Family members, friends welcome home Radwan

By Ivan Watson and Mohamed Fadel Fahmy CNN Wire Service CAIRO, EGYPT — It was the happiest of homecomings.

Ecstatic family members and friends embraced Muhammad Radwan when he emerged

from Cairo International Airport safe and sound.

They laughed, cried and even danced to the music of a traditional Egyptian band outside the airport doors.

For an entire week, Radwan’s loved ones tried to ďŹ ght off fears of torture or worse after he made an unexpected appearance on Syrian state television in what appeared to be a videotaped interrogation. The anchorwom-

an called it a “confession� by a foreigner who had been “paid to destabilize Syria.�

In the report, Radwan sat frightened on a couch, telling an interrogator standing offcamera that he had traveled to Jerusalem and that he had communicated via e-mail with a Colombian journalist who offered him the equivalent of $18 for photos from Syria.

Within hours of Radwan’s television appearance, his father Abobakr rushed to Syria to plead for his son’s release. “Knocking on the doors of the Syrian officials, whoever they were ... asking anything about Muhammed. And it was total darkness,� the elder Radwan recalled.

Houston-born Radwan is

not the only American citizen to disappear into Syria’s repressive security system during a bloody crackdown on anti-government protesters that has led to the deaths of more than 100 people.

Pathik Root, 21, spent 15 days in a Syrian prison recently. “They originally picked me up because they saw me with my BlackBerry out about a hundred yards from what ended up being a protest,�

Root said in an interview on Monday with CNN’s Elliot Spitzer, after he returned to the United States from Syria last weekend.

The Middlebury College junior had been studying abroad in Damascus, a popu-

lar destination for foreigners seeking to learn Arabic.

Instead, he witnessed torture carried out against other prisoners in a crammed detention facility. “About 75 percent of the other prisoners I met were beaten pretty brutally to the point that I caught a glimpse of blood-soaked rags once,� Root said. “One person’s foot was beaten till their toenail fell off.

There were brutal interactions between the guards and the prisoners, including electrocution and who knows what else,� Root said.

Though packed with at least 15 other detainees in a 10-by-12-foot cell, Root said he was probably spared any beat-

ings thanks to his American citizenship.

However, he was also denied any communication with the outside world. “You’re supposed to be able to call your consulate and actually have consular visits, neither of which they offered to me,� Root said.

The U.S. Embassy in Damascus conďŹ rmed there is another American male missing and currently believed to be in Syrian custody. “The Syrian government has not given official notiďŹ cation of his detention or his consular access, and in this they are violating the Vienna Convention on Consular Access,â€? wrote embassy spokesperson Angela Williams in an e-mail to CNN. Human rights groups report more than 100 people have been killed in Syria since anti-government protests ďŹ rst erupted there last month.

According to the New Yorkbased human rights monitor organization Human Rights Watch, more than 500 people, almost all of them Syrians, have been detained during this period.

At least 150 of those detainees have been released, said Nadim Houry, Human Rights Watch’s Syria researcher. “Syria’s security services regularly hold detainees incommunicado — cut off from all contact with family, a lawyer or any other link with the outside world — for days, months and in some cases, years,â€? Human Rights Watch wrote in “A Wasted Decade,â€? a recent report on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s ďŹ rst 10 years as president.

The report also documented “a frequent pattern of torture and other ill-treatment

by Syria’s security services of political and human rights detainees as well as criminal suspects.�

Muhammad Radwan, a 32-year-old dual national Egyptian-American citizen, said he was not physically abused during his weeklong detention.

But at dark moments, he admitted to wondering whether his parents would still be alive if and when he was released. “You think about worstcase scenarios when you have a lot of time,� Radwan said, glancing at his father. “What could happen if I eventually get out of here and not everyone is around?�

Speaking to CNN after his return to Cairo, Radwan downplayed his incarceration. He personally thanked al-Assad for intervening to ensure his release, describing the entire experience as a “misunderstanding.�

Radwan was fortunate. Supporters organized “Free Radwan� protests at Syrian embassies in the U.S., Great Britain and Egypt.

High-ranking Egyptian and American officials also worked hard and intervened on his behalf.

Hundreds injured, six killed in Yemeni protest Yemeni protesters and military and pro-government gangs clashed in several areas Tuesday, with at least six killed and hundreds more injured as the future of President Ali Abdullah Saleh remained uncertain.

The United States has no intention of stopping its military aid to Yemen, despite the unrest, Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said Tuesday. The aid, in support of Yemeni counterterrorism efforts, continues to be essential because of the “real threat” from al Qaeda in the country, he said.

In Sanaa, the capital, eyewitnesses and field medical teams told CNN that security forces and anti-riot police used batons to attack protesters among 40,000 people marching on Zubairy Street Tuesday evening. In addition, pro-government gangs attacked protesters on Tuesday near a military base.

Four people were killed -- three pro-government demonstrators and one anti-government demonstrator. Windows were shattered on an ambulance carrying some of the 56 injured protesters to a hospital, witnesses said.

“The government forces are killing us,” said Abdullah Salem, a youth activist who was at the protest. “Saleh and his militia will not succeed and every blood spilt will be accounted for in international courts.”

In the city of Taiz, meanwhile, at least two anti-government protesters were killed when security forces and Republican Guards fired on protesters, according to medical teams.

Hundreds of people were injured, 55 of them from gunshot wounds.

The security chief in Taiz denied his forces fired on demonstrators.

“Security forces did not attack protesters,” said Abdullah Qiaran. “We were dispersing pro and anti-government protesters after we saw that both sides were clashing.”

An estimated 30,000 demonstrators marched near the presidential palace in the port city of Hodeida Tuesday evening, witnesses said.

The violence comes as the United States is helping to mediate a transition out of office for Saleh, who has been facing popular protests for weeks, according to two Yemeni officials.

The timing is delicate, officials said, because they want to avoid any steps that could further destabilize Yemen or interrupt counterterrorism efforts in a country that U.S. officials believe is home to some of the world’s most active al Qaeda operatives.

The White House said in a statement Tuesday it “strongly condemns the use of violence by Yemeni government forces against demonstrators in Sanaa, Taiz and Hodeida in the past several days. The Yemeni people have a right to demonstrate peacefully, and we remind President Ali Abdullah Saleh of his responsibility to ensure the safety and security of Yemenis who are exercising their universal right to engage in political expression.”

“The United States strongly supports the Yemeni people in their quest for greater opportunity and their pursuit of political and economic reform that will fulfill their aspirations,” the statement said. “President Saleh needs to resolve the political impasse with the opposition so that meaningful political change can take place in the near term in an orderly and peaceful manner.”

Riots

On Sunday, the state-run Saba news agency reported clashes there caused the deaths of 10 people and injured a number of other demonstrators. According to Saba, witnesses said the opposition had deployed armed militias in the city.

Taiz Gov. Hamoud al-Soufi said protesters had attacked the governor’s building and the presidential palace in Taiz, and that he was forming a committee to investigate the incident.

“We express our deep regret for the deviation of peaceful protests,” he said.

The U.N. human rights office on Tuesday called on Yemen to halt the use of force against protesters, citing more than 100 deaths since the protests began.

British Foreign Secretary William Hague also said he was appalled by the reports of further deaths this week.

“In early March, President Saleh promised to maintain maximum restraint in the use of the Yemeni security forces in controlling peaceful demonstrations. We strongly urge him to keep that promise,” he said.

Earlier, an Obama administration official told CNN that the U.S. has been working behind the scenes, trying to determine the best way forward.

“Whatever timeline they develop, we can accept -- but it needs to be worked out. That’s the problem that’s making people anxious,” he said.

“There has to be a path forward, it can’t be a situation where he thinks that, week to week, he can sort of continue to hold on without making some kind of accommodation.”

Saleh offered to step down by the end of the year after constitutional reforms and new

elections, but the opposition, led by the Joint Meeting Parties bloc, is demanding he leave immediately. A plan unveiled by the bloc Saturday called for Saleh to hand over all authority to Vice President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi in the interim. But Saleh is not offering any further concessions, and protests by the opposition continue.

U.S. officials said various groups, including al Qaeda and secessionist elements, are exploiting the political turbulence and splits within the military and security services for their own gain.

The rapidly deteriorating situation presents a major problem for the Obama administration.

Saleh has been in power since 1978 and has been a staunch U.S. ally in the fight against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Saleh argues he should remain in office because he is the only one who can effectively continue that fight against terrorism.

One U.S. official said Yemen presents a serious challenge for the administration, as the government is “preoccupied with political unrest” and little is being done on the counterterrorism front.

A counterterrorism official said there is concern over Yemen’s pursuit of terrorists. “The ability of what’s left of the government to manage internal security which includes (al Qaeda) is in question,” said the official. A weakened security system in the country “provides an opportunity to be exploited” by al Qaeda, the official said.

Islamists protest women’s Medical trial looks into rights in Bangladesh brain injury treatment

By Farid Ahmed CNN Wire Service DHAKA, Bangladesh — Dozens of people were injured in Bangladesh as riot police clashed with thousands of Islamists protesting women’s rights, authorities.

The protesters damaged buses and cars Monday, setting several on fire, while police used clubs and tear gas to disperse the Islamists, who were wearing skullcaps and burial cloths.

“We’ll die for the cause of Islam, but [will] not allow the government to disrespect [the] Quran,” one protester shouted during the demonstration near the national mosque in downtown Dhaka.

The government recently announced its National Women Development Policy 2011, which ensures women expanded rights in property and education. The protesters said the policy is against the Quran.

Fazlul Huq Amini, leader of a coalition of Islamic groups called the Islami Oikya Jote, asked his followers to take to the streets to pro-

test the policy. Amini said the Quran defines how much property a woman should inherit, and the government should not allow women more than that.

Thousands of students in madrassas, or Islamic schools, carried sticks and logs as they marched the streets. Protests also took place in the southern port city of Chittagong and several other areas. Business activities ceased, and schools remained closed because of fears of violence.

“We had sufficient security measures to avert any violent incidents,” said Benazir Ahmed, Dhaka’s police chief.

The government said it had done nothing against the Quran. “Amini is misleading the people,” said government spokesman Mohammad Shahjahan Miah.

Earlier on Monday, a madrassa student was shot to death in western Jessore district when police opened fire on the protesters.

Amini, a former lawmaker, said the protests will continue until the policy is scrapped.

The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party lent support to the protests.

By Jennifer Rizzo CNN Wire Service A military medical research trial looking into an experimental treatment for traumatic brain injury was improperly conducted, the Pentagon’s Inspector General recently stated.

The military’s IG review found the “management and conduct of the trial were inconsistent with military standards for human subject medical research.” The report stated concerns of “possible substandard patient care” as well as flaws in the review and approval process of the research.

The trial researched the effect of the over-the-counter antioxidant supplement,

Peace Corps - 50 Years of Promoting Global Peace & Friendship

N-acetyl-cysteine, on the hearing and balance functions of troops diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury after being exposed to a blast, according to the Bureau of Navy Medicine.

About 80 service members, 57 of them Marines, participated in the trial, which was conducted between December 2008 and March 2009 by a Navy doctor at Camp Al Taqaddum in Iraq.

The Army was responsible for oversight of the medical research, according to Inspector General spokesman Gary Comerford.

The Defense Department’s investigating arm received a hotline complaint about the study by a senior military medical officer in January 2009, Comerford said, and started probing in June 2009.

Details of the findings have

not yet been released to the public, but recommendations have been made to the Navy and Army, including ensuring procedures are in place to protect troops from being coerced into participating in research studies.

The U.S. Army Surgeon General is currently conducting an investigation into the management and conduct of the clinical trial, according to Comerford. He would not comment further on whether there was evidence of coercion.

The review also recommended health assessments be done to determine if any participating service members suffered “adverse effects.”

The Bureau of Navy Medicine is in the process of conducting health assessments for identified Navy and Marine Corps service members involved in the study.

Editorial

Speech zones skirt line of free speech When most students look at Iowa State, they figure the First Amendment is well and good and free speech is welcome all over.

But in reality, the ISU campus is not open to free speech everywhere.

There are certain locations on campus labeled as “free speech zones” by the college where students and the community must confine their voices.

The reasons for these free speech zones are easy to understand and by all immediate evaluation are in place to help students. The zones make it more convenient for students’ messages to be heard, as well as promoting diversity and active learning environments, rather than interrupting activities.

The catch to all this is, Iowa State doesn’t want you parading around campus possibly prohibiting movement of students to classes and activities because your message could be distracting. Stopping violent protest or events where groups are inciting violence are absolutely fine to stop; the Supreme Court has made certain of clarifications to free speech involving “fighting words” and violence in their rulings.

But the college, based on the actions they have taken against peaceful protests and the underlying context of their rules, doesn’t seem to think speech should be entirely free on the university property.

It can set the rules for time, manner and place for free speech. The university wants to ensure that the other events and activities are not hindered by protests. Such as in 2009 when a group tried to protest by the fountain at the Memorial Union. The university broke up the group, threatened police action and the group moved to a free speech zone.

In the university’s defense, the group could have applied for permission to protest in a non-free speech zone and their request could have been evaluated by the Event Authorization Committee.

But really? A committee is going to evaluate requests? Why does a committee need to evaluate the protest areas and times. There are numerous Supreme Court rulings to use for a system of evaluation for if an area should be protest-free or if a protest needs to be ended.

Why does a committee need to look at these situations if their rulings are going to be fair? It seems more as if Iowa State does not want prospective students, their parents or Alumni to be bothered with the protests of a group, based on its prohibiting a group from protesting peacefully outside the Memorial Union.

Know your rights, and ask yourself why the university feels the need to restrict free speech. Question the powers that be, and challenge their answers. Don’t settle for simple statements, find the rationale and evaluate it for yourself. Use your voice.

Rape

Columnist Barefoot believes the movies, television shows and other media portray rape in a humorous light downplaying the seriousness of the issue.

An inebriated no is still a no

By Abigail.Barefoot iowastatedaily.com

Society’s view of alcohol, rape turns issue into a joke

I

t’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month, so this entire month you should be bombarded with the simple idea that “no means no and yes means yes.”

You should know by now, if someone says “no,” you do not have sex with them. If they cannot give consent because they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you can’t have sex with them.

The last part is the one I find interesting. It seems that no matter how many times someone hears it, some people don’t get it. Rape gets turned into partying too hard, a mistake that shouldn’t have happened. But not rape, because rape is a dirty, four letter word that people don’t want to be associated with. Instead it becomes something else, and it becomes taken less seriously.

Take for example the movie, “Superbad,” that everyone seemed to find hilarious. While some parts are funny, overall, the film is rather sinister. The whole premise of the movie is that dorky Michael Cera and Jonah Hill attempt to buy some alcohol so that they can get a girl drunk enough so that she doesn’t know what she is doing and will sleep with one of them.

That, my friends, is rape.

Not once does the movie acknowledge that it’s rape, and while their plan ends up failing, it doesn’t address the issue. Instead, the issue of taking advantage of someone when he or she is under the influence is portrayed as hilarious rather than serious.

Another example is the pilot episode of both the American and British versions of “Skins.”

The entirety of the episode deals with Tony manipulating his friends for the purpose of helping Sid lose his virginity. How does Sid lose his virginity? He does it by tricking some girl to sleep with him through the use of drugs. Again, this is rape, and yet it is perceived to be comedy.

While these examples are just on a glowing screen, and we claim to be smart enough to know the difference from reality and fiction, examples such as the ones above impact our decision making; we know the issue is serious, but we take it as a big joke.

We use the term rape as a joke: we “raped” a math test, we get “raped” in a “Call of Duty” game. What’s the point of using language that exploits the horror and trauma a rape victim must deal with? Losing a video game and having sex against your will are on two entirely different levels.

Rape is also jokingly used on the site Texts From Last Night, in which people submit texts anonymously that deal with being under the influence. These texts are perceived as funny, even when they deal with alcohol and sex.

While you don’t get the full story in a text message, some of these messages give the vibe that alcohol is being used to have sex.

Here’s one example “510: I was gonna f*ck her but then she started eatin sushi from her purse. i really need to raise my standards” or “313: My overnight senior got drunk and hooked up with Kaylee on Sunday. I checked Facebook and he already put down his deposit for next year. This school should pay me a commission.”

Alcohol should not be used to make some-

one loose enough to have sex with you willingly.

If someone needs to be under the influence to sleep with you, it is not truly consensual. It clearly falls under the rape category.

At least 80 percent of college students who had unwanted sex were under the influence of alcohol, according to a study by the University of Southern Illinois in 2003. That’s a high number for a society that knows that it’s still rape if someone is under the influence.

Already, rape is one of the most under-reported crimes, for various reasons. One big reason is that the victim often blames themselves for what happened: they were dressed “sexy,” they went into the room or they were drunk.

Regardless of the circumstances, it is not the victim’s fault; he or she didn’t make it happen, the rapist made it happen.

When we throw alcohol into the mix, people believe it’s their fault. They shouldn’t have been that drunk or should have known what was going on. Maybe we should look at how much the rapist was drinking, instead.

Numerous studies have shown a connection between rapists and alcohol. Forty percent of convicted rape and sexual assault offenders in state prison said they were drinking at the time of their crime, according to a study done in 2001.

Sex, alcohol, and bad decisions usually all work together, but we fail to see the serious problems. Rape is written off as mistake, sometimes even mixed in with a walk of shame. We laugh it off and say we shouldn’t have done it.

We need to see these events for what they are: simply rape. Alcohol is not a freebie pass to have sex. We know this, so let’s actually follow through.

Romance

Love is more than pop culture

By Sean.Flack iowastatedaily.com

What you’re like, not what you like verifies connection

T

here was once a girl who was responsible for how I perceived love. Prior to her, the girls I had been with were great, but never really shared my core passions. This girl was different, though. She loved video games, weird humor and great music. This girl was geeky, sarcastic and the first girl I ever loved.

Of course like most relationships, it didn’t last. The breakup shook me to my core, and as a result, I started unfairly comparing every girl I met to my old love. All of a sudden, romance had a statistics sheet. New romantic prospects would be put through a checklist of whether or not they liked certain pieces of entertainment and shared certain personality traits. This led to a long drought of loneliness on my part because no one could compare.

This happened for a long time. And, in fact, it wasn’t until recently that I learned an important lesson: Love is more than just someone’s favorite movie.

All of us have a type. It can be as general as “I want a girl who’s nice” to “I want an emotionless mathematics major with no personality and a $6 haircut.” But for some of us, it’s specific items. I’m sure there are a lot of you out there who couldn’t date someone who liked country music. That’s fine, and I’m totally in agreement. But if we’re on a date and someone said that they haven’t seen “Arrested Development,” then we shouldn’t completely write them off as being undateable.

It’s good to have standards, but we can’t expect every girl to match 100 percent to some silly ideal in our head. This past month has been interesting for me in how I’ve started to see love. I’ve learned that what truly matters is the little day-to-day stuff.

For me, at least, I feel like the older I get, the fewer people I have a connection with. And that connection is what matters. It’s not the sex or what they like to do on a Saturday night; it’s about whether or not you can talk to them about whatever. That’s the best part about love: being able to text the person at noon about what you just ate for lunch, or having someone to vent to about that kid you hate in class.

Honestly, no one cares about our lives.

We’re all self-absorbed brats. But when you feel those water bed ripples deep inside you, when you honestly and fully care about what’s going on in that other person’s life — well, that’s important. And if they care about all your boring day-to-day stuff, then you shouldn’t close your eyes to the fact just because of some stupid TV show.

All the stuff we like in life is just personsalt; extra flavor that make us who we are. We shouldn’t fall in love with that. We should fall in love with people and who they are and what they mean to us. That feeling of caring about another person is extremely rare these days.

Look at your life and think of a person you couldn’t go a day without. Even if they don’t match up exactly to whom you thought you’d fall for, take off your blinders anyway, and give them a chance.

I love Wes Anderson films as much as the next guy, but don’t make something as shallow as that your criteria for love. There are far more important things. In the end, the person you can fart in front of and talk about stupid stuff with is the one you should be with.

Nostalgia

Indulge, relish spring semester

By Clare.Schwager iowastatedaily.com

Take time to enjoy the great outdoors, other treats

I

was going to write a scathing column about embryonic stem cell research as a follow up to my piece on snowflake babies. At 8 p.m. I had a bit of research done, and two paragraphs written. So I decided to take a break, make some tea, Facebook spy on my brother — that sort of thing.

Soon, I was enjoying molten chocolate cake with some friends, and the column had been abandoned.

I, being the nerd that I am, spent the weekend hanging out with my sisters and digging around in the woods near our house. Despite spending entire summers in the woods as a kid, the coolest thing I ever discovered was a pocket watch and some pottery shards.

Yet Saturday, my little sisters managed to unearth a 70-year-old tricycle, several milk jars, a crusty old boot, two tables and a pumpkin. The pumpkin was disgusting, but hey, they were excited.

I’m no archaeologist, but there’s something exhilarating about lugging a shovel around and digging up remnants of

the past. Some little boy or girl must have loved that bike all those years ago. And this got me wondering just what else might lie under the moss and brambles of those woods, and how it came to be there.

I know Ames isn’t exactly known for its former ancient civilizations, but a surprising amount of local knowledge can be gained just by exploring a nearby ravine or park.

Maybe I’m giddy from all this refreshing spring air, but I’ve been feeling very “Into the Wild”-ish lately. Which I suggest you watch and/or read sometime, if you haven’t already. I’m sure every kid went through that “My Side of the Mountain” stage, where you dream of filling a backpack with canned pork and beans, grabbing a walking stick, and marching off into the great unknown to survive on mushrooms, berries and the labor of your hands.

I even practiced wielding a bow and arrow one summer, but in my enthusiasm, I shot the hell out of those arrows and never saw them again. I checked out survival guides

from the library and slept with a pocket knife under my pillow; in hindsight, I’m not sure why.

I planted a garden and lugged a sledgehammer over to my grandpa’s maple tree to harvest maple syrup. It didn’t work. My sister and I dedicated a whole two weeks to teaching ourselves the art of karate plus quarterstaff fighting plus pole vaulting.

In short, growing up in the country was the best part of being a kid; although I suppose my measly social skills are a direct result. But I digress.

With the end of the semester fast approaching, and that smell of dirt and grass and rain in the air, I guess you could say I’m feeling a bit nostalgic about all those summers spent running wild. I know I can’t be the only one to have loved Gary Paulsen’s works, “The Swiss Family Robinson” or the “Tarzan” series.

Maybe I was a nerd, but I sure had fun being one. Being a nerd is good for the soul. And so is molten chocolate cake.

So go ahead and indulge yourselves. It’s worth it in the end.

Advice

Use spring as a time to reinvent, improve life

By Molly.Sturgis iowastatedaily.com

Warmer weather brings energy to pursue ventures

I

’m not saying its spring, because as a Minnesotan, I know the moment people start rejoicing in spring is the moment Mother Nature drops a giant blizzard on everyone’s heads. But if, hypothetically, it were spring, that would make me happy, because spring is awesome.

I love spring for reasons you probably don’t suspect. Winter is the same thing every single day, blah blah blah. When you step out the door on a spring morn you don’t know — unless you’re no fun and watch the weather — if it’ll be gorgeous or snowing. Winter makes people stagnant and lazy, whereas spring is chaotic and people are energetic.

Spring is the time to do everything you wanted to do in winter, but never actually did.

Maybe you’re unhappy with yourself right now.

It’s a sad fact that lots of people are unhappy with themselves. You do not have to be one of them.

The thing about college is that whatever you

were in high school, prom queen, football star, or nerd, does not limit you anymore. Anybody can change, especially when no one here, or at least very few people, know your history.

It doesn’t matter what you want to be, in a college of more than 28,000 students, you can find some friends.

The following is my list of spring recommendations: Try something different. Something maybe you don’t think you’ll like. Never had sushi?

There’s no time like today to try. Wish you could ride a unicycle or juggle? There’s an entire club that I’m sure would love to teach you, the Juggling and Unicycling Club. Wish you were Indiana Jones but know nothing about anthropology? There’s a club for that too, the Anthropology Club. If your hero is Paul Bunyan, maybe Forestry Club is for you.

There are hundreds of clubs on campus with a comprehensive list located at: http://sodb. stuorg.iastate.edu/list.php. You have no excuse, so go for it. The worse that happens is that you know for sure it’s not for you.

Meet new people. If you really go after the first recommendation, then this should just naturally happen. Go out and talk to people you

normally wouldn’t. If you’re from a small town in Iowa and have never traveled, go meet some international students. Perhaps you’re very religious; go talk to someone not so inclined.

Listen. Understand. Nobody is saying you must agree. Only good things can happen when you decide to open your mind.

Start exercising. If you’re unhappy with yourself, doing what you’ve always done is not going to change that. If exercising is not something you do often, please let me remind you of a few of the benefits: more energy, higher metabolism and general health.

Perhaps you’ve attempted to work out before and you cannot stick with it or be productive, or you prefer to work out in an unconventional method because running, ellipticals and, stationary bikes are boring.

I suggest either assembling a group to work out or join an existing group. That way there is a routine to stick to and people expecting to see your shining face. Maybe you walked into Cyclone Martial Arts Club and watched a practice and felt slightly intimidated. Maybe you thought, “I can’t do that,” for whatever reason. You’re wrong; redefine yourself and your boundaries. It’ll be good for you.

Become a good student. I think during the winter we all get a little lax on our studies. It happens because school can sometimes be boring and little to no fun. But with just a few weeks left we need to suck it up and put on our big boy and girl pants.

Go to class, do your homework and study, so that later you can do fun things like get a good GPA, get out of school and not have to flip burgers for a living.

Maintain a positive mental attitude. Sounds dorky, I know, but it actually works. If you’re feeling down, smiling will actually make you happier; even if it’s a fake smile. Laughter can actually increase your life expectancy.

The more you smile and laugh tends to mean the less stressed you are in life, and stress is actually quite hard on your body, mentally and physically.

Try some of this out for a few weeks. Even if you’re completely happy in life, you don’t know — you might be missing your life’s calling. Spring is a time for change, so try out new things and expand your world. Life’s waiting, so do some spring cleaning and dust those cobwebs off. It’s now warm enough to go outside and pursue it.

Everyone deserves a second chance at free speech The First Amendment allows citizens to state opinions without recrimination, to stand up for what they believe in

E

ditor’s note: This essay is the second of two runners-up in the 2011 First Amendment Day High School Essay Contest.

Christensen will receive a $100 prize provided by the Iowa High School Press Association, which will be presented April 7 at the Feast on the First Amendment on Central Campus. The first runner-up’s essay was published April 5, and the winning essay will be published April 7, on First Amendment Day.

Desiree Christensen is a student at Davenport Central High School

What if you got only one chance in the world?

How far would you get in life?

But what if you got a second chance? Would you use your chance wisely? Most people would at first, but would they stick to it forever?

I believe that everyone deserves a second chance at anything. Everyone should be given the opportunity to be forgiven. We all make mistakes; nobody is perfect. As a journalist, I make mistakes all the time, but they can easily be corrected. While I make mistakes when I write, people around the country make mistakes when it comes to the First Amendment to the Constitution.

People make mistakes by addressing the nine areas of unprotected speech the wrong way.

Those nine areas are obscenity, defamation,

fighting words, incitement to imminent lawless action, child pornography, perjury, blackmail, true threats and solicitations to commit criminal acts, according to the First Amendment Center.

Most people don’t know what all nine are. I believe if the people are accidentally mistaken while addressing the nine areas of unprotected speech, they are not taking one of their life chances. Rather, they are simply making a mistake, unless you approach it the wrong way to the wrong person.

Some people take offense when you approach a touchy topic in the wrong way, such as talking about child pornography or politics. It can get you into a lot of trouble.

Would it be a chance you have to sacrifice? You

have to stand up for what you believe. Whether you are against child pornography or sensitive when politics are discussed, you are allowed to state your opinion in public.

The First Amendment offers us a second chance, allowing us to be free and state our opinions without recrimination. On the other hand, you can approach anything negatively to the public, and you may not receive a second chance. Even though we all make mistakes, we should be forgiven and given the second chance at making things better than before.

We can rely on the First Amendment to support our thoughts and ideas, but in the end you decide if you should earn a second chance at anything, because you have to work for what you want.

It’s 2:30am. Your project is due at 8am.

Track and field

Koll unlikely to run at Drake Distance runner sets focus on California

By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com One year removed from winning her third and fourth NCAA titles as a distance runner at Iowa State, Lisa Koll will not be a participant in the running of the 2011 Drake Relays held later this month in Des Moines.

“I would love to race Drake, it’s just probably not the best timing for me,” Koll said in a phone interview Monday.

The timing of the Relays plays the biggest factor in Koll’s decision, being that she’s already scheduled to race May 1 at the Payton Jordan Invitational in Palo Alto, Calif.; the weekend after the Drake Relays.

Whether she was to run in Palo Alto or in Des Moines, both venues hold special meaning for the 23-year-old.

Koll set the NCAA record in the 10,000 meter run March 26, 2010, at the Stanford Invitational in Palo Alto, finishing in 31 minutes, 18.07 seconds, breaking the mark of 31:25.45 by former NCAA champion

Sally Kipyego of Texas Tech, who set it in 2008.

“Stanford is hard to beat, the track is great, the weather is great and there are always great fields assembled,” Koll said.

“There’s definitely some personal attachment to the track there, every time I step on that track I feel comfortable.”

A two-time Drake Relays champion, Koll is also a Fort Dodge native, which would give her the opportunity to come home for only the third time since moving out to Portland, Ore., to train with Nike distance coach Jerry Schumacher in July, 2010.

“I feel like Drake is my home track,” Koll said. “I always feel so supported when I run there and it makes me feel excited because I always try to put on a show.”

The nine-time All-American at Iowa State also picked up her first National Championship victory on the blue track at Drake Stadium in the 10,000 at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Championships.

“Drake was fun the first couple years I was in high school because I just wanted to make it, then I wanted to be in the top 10, then to win my

first national title there, it was special,” Koll said.

After the Payton Jordan Invitational, Koll will gear up for the 2011 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships that will be June 23 to 26 in Eugene, Ore., just more than 100 miles from Portland.

“I’m looking forward to getting back on the track and seeing how fit I am,” Koll said. “You never really know how fit you are until you get back on the track.”

The next two events for Koll beyond that will be the 2011 World Championships in late August in Daegu, South Korea, and then the U.S. Olympic Trials for the 2012 Summer Olympics, which will be in London.

“Qualifying for the Olympics and representing the U.S. would be a dream come true, that is definitely on the radar,” Koll said.

Although the next few months of running are planned out for her, Koll wouldn’t rule out a future appearance at the Drake Relays.

“You have to plan each year differently, maybe next year it would fit in better,” Koll said. “For this year it’s a little sad, but there are big goals that I have and I have to take the path

that will help me run fast when it counts.”

Without having to attend college classes, Koll has had more time to adjust to her new life on the West Coast and to help her body recover from her rigorous workouts with 2008 Olympic Bronze medalist Shalane Flanagan.

“Shalane’s been so helpful as a training partner and as a friend,” Koll

said. “It’s been great, I’ve really gotten settled and I have a good routine going now.

“I had an amazing support system at college with my family, the university and really the entire state.

Now I have a support system here, [Portland is] really starting to feel like my home away from home.”

The Drake Relays will be April 28 to 30 in Des Moines.

Cyclones get revenge Team finds its stroke Iowa State defeats rival in a mere five innings

By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com The Cyclone softball team only had to wait six days for a chance to exact revenge on the UNI Panthers after a 4-2 loss last Wednesday.

They did precisely that behind a powerful offensive performance, highlighted by four home runs.

“Coming off a weekend like we had at A&M where Saturday was really tough and then Sunday we competed, we played much better and we were definitely in it, we just came ready to play today,” said ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler.

The Cyclones hit the Panthers out of the game in an 11-3 run-rule victory that lasted just five innings.

“We owed them one and we all knew it,” said Cyclone

word!

SPORT: Softball

pitcher Rachel Zabriskie.

“There was definitely a revenge factor, especially after getting beat the way we did last Wednesday.”

In the bottom of the first inning, ISU first baseman Erica Miller welcomed the Panthers to the Southwest Athletic Complex with a towering three-run homer over the scoreboard in right-center field.

Iowa State manufactured another three runs in the bottom of the second inning to take a 6-0 lead.

“It was great that we came out and attacked against a team that beat us last time,” said Iowa State’s designated hitter Tori Torrescano.” But it was also frustrating at the same time to see us hit so well this time, when we know we could have done it last time too.”

The Panthers answered in the third inning with a pair of solo home runs by Mackenzie Daigh and Rachel Gerking to bring the score to 6-2, but

Torrescano then answered back with a solo home run of her own to get the Cyclones back on the board in the bottom of the fourth.

With an 8-3 lead in the bottom of the fifth, Miller stepped to the plate with two runners on base and hit her second home run of the game, giving her five RBIs on the day.

Torrescano then ended the game two pitches later with another solo home run, giving the Cyclones an eight-run lead, enough for the game to be called after just five innings of play.

“I think everybody went in with the mindset of revenge because we weren’t on our game last week and it wasn’t okay with anybody,” Torrescano said. “We wanted to prove to them and to ourselves that we could beat them.”

The Cyclones will be back in action at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Southwest Athletic Complex with a double-header against Minnesota.

Offensive power leads to quick victory over UNI

By Dan.Cline iowastatedaily.com For the first time in nearly a month, the ISU softball team finally found its stroke. Weeks of latent work from the plate ended during the team’s debacle of rival Northern Iowa.

The Cyclones had not scored more than nine runs in a game since they put 10 up against Wichita State on March 12. Without the offensive firepower, the team had struggled to find victories.

Iowa State was 3-5 during that span and scored no more than seven runs in any game.

Northern Iowa was the unfortunate recipient of the onslaught Tuesday, but the Cyclones are unapologetic about beating up their in state rivals.

“I think it was little insulting for them to throw the

same pitcher at us and I know a lot of people were not happy about their performances last week, including myself,” said Tori Torrescano, referring to pitcher Jaye Hutcheson, who only allowed two runs in the first meeting, but only lasted 1 1/3 innings Tuesday.

Torrescano and Erica Miller fueled the fire. Miller opened up the Cyclone rally with a towering three-run homer in the bottom of the first. With one swing, Miller was able to surpass the run total of the team’s first outing against the Panthers.

With the team already solidly ahead with a 6-2 lead, Torrescano added her own dose of punishment. The Cyclone designated hitter hit the first of her two solo shots in the bottom of the fourth inning.

Her second solo home run in fifth inning put the game out of reach, as the run rule went into effect.

However, Miller was dedicated to keeping pace in the home run race.

Just two batters earlier, Iowa State’s hottest hitter connected on her second four-bagger. Miller finished the day going 2-for-3 with two runs and five RBI’s on top of her two home runs.

Miller and Torrescano led the way, but a series of sluggers contributed to the offensive up rise. The top three hitters, Heidi Kidwell, Sara Davison and Dalyn Varela each scored two runs and put themselves in positions to help the cause.

“Everyone was really excited today and we have to get that same intensity and same mentality for every game,” Torrescano said.

The afternoon’s accomplishments also put the team in the ISU record book. It was the first time since 2008 that an ISU softball player had a multi-home run game. With Torrescano and Miller collaborating for two home runs each, it marks the first time in school history that there have been four or more home runs in one game.

Sports Jargon of the Day: Run-rule DEFINITION: A rule that ends games when a team is up by eight or more runs after five innings.

USE: Iowa State pounded their way to an big win that ended via run rule against Northern Iowa.

Baseball

Students lead in absence of coach Elections serve as a way to elect new club leaders

By Nate.Ryan iowastatedaily.com Spectators at an ISU club baseball game might notice something unusual from the typical athletics event. That’s because the team is not managed by a coach.

The team is managed by club president Tyler Strub and vice president Jeff Peterson.

The two of them take care of the lineups, pitching rotation and anything else a baseball coach would typically do.

The answer to why the baseball team does not have a coach is not that complicated.

“We can’t afford one,” Strub said. “It’s a lot of time for someone to be putting in for free.”

There is only one team in the Mid-America Conference’s north division that has a coaching figure.

That team is rival Iowa, who is coached by Jamie O’Meara.

Strub said O’Meara is a gradu-

ate student that has stayed with the team to manage.

“I don’t think a paid coach makes that big of a difference,” Strub said. “As long as you have good leadership on a team, I don’t think a coach is necessary.”

Entering his fourth season with the team, Peterson had enough experience and leadership skills to be elected vice president for this season.

These elections have always been the style for selecting leaders on the club team.

“It’s always been studentrun,” Peterson said. “I really like that system at a college club level, because it keeps it informal and fun, and that’s really why we’re out here.”

Finding advantages to not having a full-time paid coach may seem difficult, but Strub didn’t waste time mentioning the obvious one.

“We have more fun,” Strub said. “We can make our own decisions as far as when we want to practice and how long we want to practice.”

Strub acknowledged that sometimes with the team making its own decisions it

could be a good or bad thing, but he isn’t worried about his teammates this season.

“We have a really motivated team this year, so it’s really not an issue,” Strub said.

Sophomore Joe Nettleton said even though it is more laid-back, there isn’t any slacking.

“The competition is still there,” Nettleton said. “We all push each other to get better, but it’s not quite as strict.”

The club team format also allows a unique aspect of the game — playing alongside the coaches.

“I kind of like it,” said Chaska, Minn., native Brad Hallman. “You can relate to them better.”

Hallman also said he likes not having a coach in club baseball and sees a difference between teams that do have coaches and Iowa State.

“I feel like if they have a coach, then they are too legit and trying to stretch it out to be something they’re not,” Hallman said. “It’s just club, it’s just fun. Get out there and play baseball, that’s what I’m here for.”

Countering size with technique, speed ISU defensive ends progress through spring

By Jake.Lovett iowastatedaily.com Standing at 6 feet, 240 pounds, Patrick Neal doesn’t exactly look like a Big 12 defensive end.

Guys like Willie Scott — 6 feet, 2 inches, 215 pounds — and Roosevelt Maggitt — 6 feet, 2 inches, 243 pounds — don’t really look the part, either.

The thing is, those are the guys that ISU defensive ends coach Curtis Bray is trying to turn into Big 12 defensive ends, and guys he’s counting on to pressure opposing quarterbacks this fall.

“We can fool ourselves all we want, say we’re going to get four-man pressure a lot,” Bray said.

“Our guys are about 245, 250 and the tackles we’re playing are about 325, 320. We’re going to have to keep mixing it up.”

During the first eight practices of the spring season, Bray said he’s working with his group on finding different ways to get to the quarterback.

While ISU coach Paul Rhoads said he wants his defense utilizing more blitzes to create pressure, Bray said there are techniques the defensive ends have been working on to get in the backfield, as well.

“We’ve got to be speed oriented,” Bray said.

“The biggest thing, for us, is going to be getting off of the ball.”

Neal is easily the most experienced of this group of ISU defensive ends after spending last season as a starter.

Maggitt played part time and was, as Bray put it, the most productive of the unit last season.

But, Bray said the two of them were only productive for their first 30 plays on the field, something the coach is hoping will be helped by the increased depth at the position.

“That’s why we need four or five guys to play,” Bray said.

“That’s what we’re working to.

Hopefully we can keep their production up and limit their plays.”

Even though 35 to 40 snaps can wear on smaller defensive linemen, Neal said he thought the conditioning of the group wasn’t the culprit that slowed their productivity on later plays.

Instead, he said the group lost some of its focus as the game wore on.

“That’s a lot of plays to stay mentally into the game,” he said.

“Being focused and mentally sharp throughout the game, that’s the thing we can improve on.”

Neal’s the only senior among the five ends listed on the ISU depth chart, but he said despite that experience he still had a lot to learn.

Neal said the unit not only has to improve its pass rush, but improve in stopping the run as well.

All the while going up against 320-pound offensive linemen.

“They’re always going to be bigger than you,” Neal said. “You’ve just got to counter with quickness and good technique.”

CULTURE | GOLDEN DRAGON ACROBATS The Iowa State Union Board and GSB presented a performance by the Golden Dragon Acrobats on Tuesday at Stephens Auditorium.

The Golden Dragons nationally recognized performance features a number of physical feats and balancing acts, including the use of chairs, ladders, balls, plates and hats.

The Golden Dragons have honed their skills in this tradition that is more than 25 centuries old.

The performance featured more than mere juggling. Many of the performers are as deft with their feet juggling as other jugglers are with their hands.

Israeli-Palestinian peace process debated

era of Yasser Arafat and now,�

Makovsky said. “Hopefully the Israelis will see that Salam Fayyad wants to build a relationship from the ground up.� “I think David has it right; it’s a question of human dignity and respect,� Murray said.

However, Israel and Palestine have sat down many times in the recent past to try and come to some sort of peace agreement, though no such agreement has been met at this point. Murray continuously came to the same conclusion about why the two countries cannot come to an agreement. “That’s a radically different departure from what we saw before,� Makovsky said.

David Makovsky and John Murray debated the IsraeliPalestinian peace process Tuesday.

With maps of Israel and Palestine as well as a map of the Middle East, Makovsky, Ziegler Distinguished Fellow at the Washington Institute and director of its Project on the Middle East Peace Process, and Murray, former external adviser to the Palestinian Negotiation Support Unit, provided context for the audience.

Makovsky explained why there is a lack of agreement between the two countries. He said both Israel and Palestine have narrowed their issues, which gives him some hope. “Too much history and too little geography,� Makovsky said.

However, this is also the foundation of many people’s worries, Makovsky said. “I believe that there is a real paradigm shift between the

The scale ranks programs on one, the lowest, to ďŹ ve, outstanding.

The six graduate programs to make the top 20 were no surprise to David Holger, associate provost for academic programs and dean of the graduate college. “It certainly is meaningful if colleges across the country say this program is one of the better ranked programs,� Holger said.

Mark Imerman is the director of recruitment services.

He believes that by having higher ranked graduate programs we attract better graduate students and the graduate programs don’t go unknown. “Having highly ranked graduate programs isn’t something we should just yawn at and say well it’s great research,� Imerman said. “It’s what makes better undergraduate programs possible,�

Imerman said.

Although the ranking of the six graduate programs is rewarding, Imerman and Holger agreed that Iowa State has a handful of great graduate programs across the board. Some of those programs may have not made the top 20 graduate programs.

In addition to the ďŹ ve professional disciplines ranked annually, U.S. News also periodically ranks programs in the sciences, social sciences and humanities, the health

The Fashion Show 2011

BY EMILY MILLER ISD STYLE WRITER

Heather Dickinson

Library Boots with shorts is a definite no!

COLLECTION: MILK AND SUGAR

Campus Lovin’ the shorts, flip flops, skirts, and the absence of Uggs!! About time it’s spring!

Inspiration for collection: The fineness and fullness of evening wear from the18th century.

Process from concept to garment: After research and inspiration, Heather sketched numerous ideas until she found one that felt right. The evolution of a design includes many steps such as making the patterns, creating a sample of the garment out of Muslin, and revising and adjusting all the small details of the design until it is just right.

EVENTS

Feeling she wishes attendees of the Fashion Show to have: Heather is very excited to see her thought process and detailed work walk down the runway and hopes that viewers appreciate the final outcome as much as she enjoys it.

April Yoga Class When: 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. Every Wednesday in April Where: Windsor Heights Community and Events Center Windsor Heights $5 per student

So, is she nervous for Saturday?

From a designers standpoint? No, not really. She’s just going to focus on not tripping as a model.

Can You Walk the Walk?

When: Noon Wednesday Where: In front of the library Strut your stuff for a chance to win two tickets to the Fashion Show 2011.

Matthew Christopher Lecture When: 5 p.m., Thursday Where: Great Hall, Memorial Union Guest lecturer shares his experiences of designing “from small-town Iowa to New York Fashion Week.”

Flat Mary Scavenger Hunt When: Noon Friday Look out for Twitter and Facebook updates for clues to find Flat Mary.

The first to find her will win a prize package from the Fashion Show 2011.

The Fashion Show 2011 When: Exhibition at 6 p.m., show at 7 p.m., Saturday Where: Stephens Auditorium Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com or at the Cy Stephens box office.

Kylie Van Cleave COLLECTION: WALKING A FINE LINE Inspiration for collection: Minimalist Architecture.

Process from concept to garment: Kylie knew she wanted to outfit 30- to 40-year-old professional women. She decided to strategize a simpler look that is more intricate than it appears. She incorporated chevron shapes into her pattern.

Feeling she wishes attendees of the Fashion Show to have: Classy. Simple. Clean. She hopes that people will notice how flattering the designs are to the body.

So, is she nervous for Saturday?

As a designer? No. As director of set tech? Yes.

For more information check out: facebook.com/ISUFashionShow and isdstyle.com

Colleen Pokorny COLLECTION: REFLECTIONS ON THE INDUSTRIAL MAN

CHECK IT OUT

Second year in show Inspiration for collection: Working men of the 1930s and the watercolor paintings of family friend Wendell Mohr.

Process from concept to garment: She was looking through a variety of pictures and the paintings kept catching her eye. Wendell died due to cancer, so Colleen decided to digitally print his work on the back and in the lining of the vests in tribute to him.

Feeling she wishes attendees of the Fashion Show to have: She expects viewers will be surprised when the models expose the back. She also hopes they enjoy the industrial edge to the classic menswear look that she has designed.

So, is she nervous for this Saturday?

Although 21 tickets have been purchased from close friends and family, Colleen is currently caught up in the preparation for Behind The Scenes Day that she and her team have been preparing for. This event shows prospect students the workings of the apparel deptartment and includes them at the dress rehearsal for the fashion show.
