Iowa State’s speech code receives red light rating

By Matt.Wettengel iowastatedaily.com Two-thirds of public universities, including Iowa State, have unconstitutional speech codes, said Adam Kissel, vice president of programs for the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.

Kissel presented free speech violations at college campuses throughout the country and highlighted issues within Iowa State policies that restrict university members’ freedom of speech.

The most restricting policies at Iowa State are the discrimination and harassment policies, Kissel said. Specifically, Kissel focused on the examples list of this policy that is included in the policy.

“Harassment may include, but is not limited to, threats, physical contact or violence, pranks, jokes, epithets, derogatory comments, vandalism, or verbal, graphic, or written conduct directed at an individual or individuals because of their race, ethnicity, sex, pregnancy, color, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or U.S. veteran status,” the policy states.

“So here’s the thing with the examples list: Anything that you do or say can be called harassment if you do it severely and pervasively

enough,” Kissel said, proceeding with an example of how simply calling someone enough times after being asked not to can be deemed harassment.

Kissel specified that under Iowa State’s policy, anyone who has ever told a joke about race, ethnicity, sex, pregnancy, color, religion, national origin, physical or mental disability, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or U.S. veteran status, has violated the university’s harassment policy.

This policy also states that sexual harassment “can range from unwelcome sexual flirtations and inappropriate put-downs of individual persons or classes of people, to serious physical abuses such as sexual assault.”

“How do you know it’s unwelcome until you try?”

Kissel asked. “The first time you unwelcomely flirt with someone it’s not harassment. If they tell you to cool it and you keep sticking around ... it’s become a little bit more per-

By Hilary.Bassett iowastatedaily.com In the last couple of years, the nation has faced a recession that has hit many individuals and families hard, but the latest reports show Americans could now be facing a recovery, albeit very slow.

“We know now that it is going to get better, there is no doubt about it,” said Noga O’Connor, research associate for the Iowa Policy Project, a nonpartisan research institute. “It’s really a question of how long it’s going to take and, keep in mind, it’s going to be slow.”

Since May 2008, Iowa has lost around 51,000 jobs, but the first two months of 2011 have shown a growth of about 4,000 jobs each

Total nonfarm employment up 12,000 Mining has stayed the same at 2,100 jobs Construction down 1,100 jobs Manufacturing up 2,400 jobs Trade, transportation and utilities up 4,000 jobs Information down 1,200 jobs

month.

But those studying the trends warn against using these first two months to predict any overarching trends for 2011.

“That’s such a short time period and we really discouraged using too short a time period to figure out whether we’re on any trends or not,” said Mike Owen, assistant director of the Iowa Policy Project.

“But, if it stayed that way for a year, for example, that would be basically the reverse of what happened two years ago.”

While it is generally agreed that a recovery will take time, some say there is still reason to feel optimistic.

“We are seeing job growth in multiple sectors, which is very good and we are also seeing a

growth in our overall size in our labor force,” said Kerry Koonce, communications director for Iowa Workforce Development. “I think there is a more optimistic outlook from individuals as well.”

But others aren’t as optimistic about Iowa’s recovery.

“If I do what I consider an optimistic projection about recovery, I don’t see us climbing out to where we’re posting net job growth from our previous peak until maybe the first quarter of 2013,” said David Swenson, associate scientist of economics. “It’s still a ways out there for me, at least two years out, so they’re more optimistic than I am.”

Swenson said he’s also concerned about an uneven recovery across Iowa.

“The other thing I worry about here in Iowa is that the growth and recovery is really only going to happen initially in a few select places,” Swenson said. “The Des

Gov. Terry Branstad issued an executive order preventing the Iowa Department of Natural Resources from implementing regulations passed the Environmental Protection Agency aimed to limit emissions of diesel electric power generators. Branstad signed Executive Order 72 on Monday, aimed to override regulations that would require retrofitting generators resulting in high implementation costs.

In his executive order, Branstad cited the potential problems with the installation of expensive new catalytic filters that “impose unnecessary and crippling costs on small Iowa municipal utilities” that would transfer to the consumer and lead to a spike in utility rates.

The National Environmental Standards for Air Pollutants would apply to generators that employ Rotary Internal Combustion Engines that utility companies use in order to supply electricity during peak hours when they cannot purchase or produce enough power to prevent brownouts or blackouts.

NESHAP for RICE is intended to limit the production of ozone and smog that comes from burning diesel fuel.

“They’re trying to set a standard so that they can try to make sure that those kind of engines have some kind of performance standard relative to emissions,” said Brian Trower, assistant director of electric services for Ames Utilities.

However, Trower was unsure as to whether the regulations had merit because many of the generators do not operate full time.

The legislature’s education budget bill calling for a $39.9 million cut to the Board of Regents general fund was passed Tuesday by the House and now faces the Senate.

Support for the bill in the House largely followed party affiliation, with only two Republicans joining the Democrats in their vote of no.

“I voted no for the bill because it does have those cuts to higher education, which I feel is the wrong direction,” said Rep. Lisa Heddens, D-Ames.

Heddens said she’s been communicating with professors, administrators, college students, families and, for the first time ever, high school seniors concerned about the budget cuts.

“People are recognizing, I think more than ever, the cuts that are going on and the impact that it’s going to have on our educational system and the student budget or the family budget,” Heddens said.

Rep. Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, D-Ames, co-sponsored an amendment that would have brought the Board of Regent’s budget up to last year’s spending, which was what they asked for, but that amendment did not pass.

“One of the things I argued in my amendment was that 57 of the legislators have benefited from higher education supported by our

‘Catfish’ film inspires new MTV reality series Whether or not last fall’s documentary “Catfish” was real or a hoax, this much is certain: the thriller has spawned a new MTV series.

The network is developing a reality show based on the controversial movie, in which New York photographer Nev Schulman falls for a woman on Facebook, travels to Michigan to meet her and is shocked to discover that she’s not quite who she claims to be.

Though the intriguing film is billed as a documentary, skeptics claimed that many of the scenes had been scripted or set up.

The creative team from “Catfish” will be involved in the MTV project, which would likely focus on people who misrepresent themselves online and the fallout that occurs as a result.

Has Simon Cowell found another ‘X Factor’ judge?

One more seat has reportedly been filled at the judges’ table for “The X Factor.”

British pop singer Cheryl Cole will bring her act across the pond as the latest judge for the American version of Simon Cowell’s talent competition.

The rumor is that newlyappointed judge Antonio “L.A.” Reid said that Cole has been tapped to continue the role she currently has as a judge on the British version of the show.

“We’re gonna compete against ‘American Idol’ just fine,” Reid said. “I’m very confident. But along with Simon Cowell and Cheryl, I don’t know who the other judge is.”

Cole, who is a singer/songwriter, knows all about talent competitions. She became a member of the group Girls Aloud via the U.K. reality show “Popstars: The Rivals” and has been a judge on the original “X Factor” since 2008. But according to a rep for Cole, “The stories are all speculation.” The repsaid that “no comment has been made,” and Fox also declined to comment.

Editorial

This could be the next social stigma Providing for a healthy life for children is always a good thing, right?

The U.K. Human Genetics Commission has approved pre-pregnancy tests for genetic conditions, finding there are “no specific social, ethical or legal principles” against it.

But what are the advantages of pre-pregnancy testing for genetic conditions?

Well, conditions that might be passed on to future generations, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell disease, can be caught and decisions for would-be parents can be made as to whether to still conceive in the classic fashion, or perhaps adopt.

But, you the reader asks, that’s the U.K., not the U.S., why should I care?

Because, dear reader, this testing provides for an intriguing quandary: Can information gleaned from such testing be a means of discrimination?

Imagine your significant other was tested and found to have a likelihood of passing on a negative genetic trait — no not red hair — and your one true goal in life was to raise itty-bitty versions of yourself?

With this information, what if you end the relationship, crushing your significant other’s one goal in life of being with you till the bitter end?

Decisions to test for genetic problems are voluntary, so, you ask, why should I be concerned with what someone else decides to do with their life?

Because pregnancy is a two-person undertaking. If one partner wants testing and the other doesn’t, there can be a big problem.

The Generation Xers and Generation Nexters — or whatever label you like — are fueled by using the resources available to them; if you have a new technological advancement that might make life “better,” you bet they will know about it and put it to use.

Knowledge can be a dangerous thing, and if it can generally be found out that a person is in the non-paragon category of genetic contribution, then their life can become a struggle for happiness more hindered than that elusive pursuit of happiness already is.

Ask yourself, would you leave your significant other if you knew they could not provide healthy children?

People already get divorces for infertility, what if before you are about to pop the big question, you get tested and then end it because of the findings.

So ask yourself, do you think prepregnancy genetic testing should be something available to any and all people?

There is no “right” answer, but know that we as a people have found ways to discriminate for nearly every imaginable trait that humans have little to no control over, so how likely is it that genetics could be the next social stigma keeping mankind from living in peace and equality?

Eviction

Curb shopping a-go-go

By Gabriel.Stoffa iowastatedaily.com

The possessions of those displaced are up for grabs Disclaimer: The Iowa State Daily does not endorse the actions described in the following article. It is intended as a hypothetical, and is not being advised by the writer as a course of action; only as an informative story.

I

t’s that time of year again. Plants are sprouting from the ground, the bitter chill of winter is giving way to afternoons of warming sunshine and students are ramping up to party the night away during VEISHEA. In all of this joy and excitement as the spring semester ends, another interesting event is about to occur: student evictions.

That’s right, those dastardly rent payments that some negligent or forgetful students have avoided paying are about to bite them squarely on the rump.

For those out there unfamiliar with eviction processes in Ames, many apartment buildings will go through their roster of tenants who have received multiple warnings about back rent due, and will go up to their apartments in the wee hours of the morning.

The workers will knock on the door of the unlucky tenant to be evicted, and if the person comes to the door, they are given a short period to pack up their belongings and get off of the premises.

If no one answers the door or the phone call that has occurred many times before from the front office, then the workers enter the apartment and proceed to unceremoniously gather up the belongings of the person/s and dump them into a vehicle. Those belongings are then unceremoniously dumped by the dumpster and/or on the curb of the apartment building.

Here’s where the interesting part comes up.

For anyone that has ever gone curb shopping during moveout periods, eviction day is a shopper’s delight if your moral compass doesn’t mind that the things you are pawing through are likely everything some poor schmuck owns: clothing, shoes, computers, TVs, DVDs, iPod, luggage, prescription drugs, drug paraphernalia, couches, chairs, microwaves, grilles, dishes, the list of possibilities goes on and on.

Everything tossed is open to be taken because, well, the evicted peeps didn’t pay rent for a long time and didn’t bother to try and arrange something with the apartment owners to keep their living quarters.

With all this in mind, it is fairly easy to rationalize grabbing a few free toys. And for those still struggling with the moral problem, well, think about the number of times this evicted person was told about the pending day — well, at least the number of attempts to contact them by phone, mail, email and notes on their door. Based on the evicted’s lack of interest in paying rent as the rest of us have to do, why not have a curb shopping holiday?

To top it all off, for those of you still clinging on to any moral outrage or hesitation, the person who was evicted didn’t even bother with being at their apartment to deal with getting the boot, or they just didn’t bother to respond to any of the attempts to inform them about the pending eviction, which tells me they don’t care about their possessions or are too immature to be allowed to keep things.

OK, fine, the immature argument is really pushing the limit, but still, the person isn’t there and I have little sympathy for someone

that is so utterly irresponsible.

I had a friend a few years back that was evicted in this manner. His roommates — who he did not know, as they were assigned — had not paid rent in something like six months. My friend was behind on his rent by two months, but because of his roommates’ negligence, he was lumped in with them and given the boot.

Their possessions were tossed, but my friend was able to pack up his stuff and went out to the curb with his stuff to sit and wait for someone to get out of class and come get his stuff with a pickup truck.

My friend was at least responsible enough to be there to keep his possessions from the trash bin. The roommates’ stuff was up for grabs; along with many other folks’ personal property.

With this information, many readers out there are likely contemplating the free-for-all curb shopping event of the season without much moral hesitation. The final holdup is the personal pride or possibility of embarrassment in digging through trash bag after trash bag — which is how the workers tend to move the

evicted’s stuff out to the curb — all just to find a few nice baubles or score big with an iPod discovery.

There is little advice that can be given to overcome the fear of being ridiculed by your friends for riffling through what appears to be trash, also the potential judgment from spectators shaking their heads at how “low” you’ve sunk to be picking and choosing among the hard-earned items of another unfortunate enough to be cast out of their residence.

So, to overcome the onlookers, try to rationalize the cool things you might get against the opinions of others. Frankly, I don’t care what you think of me if I score a big win and find a sweet DVD collection, nice electronic or even the grand prize of someone’s secret stash of legally-questionable recreational stuffs.

Maybe this is all still appalling to you, maybe you cannot believe someone would just stroll along and take what belongs to others, but it happens and to a college student — or even your average townie — when something hits the curb, it doesn’t matter where it came from if it’s shiny and expensive.

Ames police

Wrongfully arrested in Ames

By Cameron.Leehey iowastatedaily.com

O

n Saturday, March 26, I was arrested for a crime I did not commit.

Late in the evening, Ames police arrived at my apartment with a warrant for my arrest on the grounds of Nuisance Party Violation. They did not ask permission to enter, nor did I give it, but they walked right into my apartment the moment I opened the door.

My arresting officers informed me that the party they claimed I had hosted had been dispersed by an Officer Rivera around 11:40 p.m.

Friday, Jan. 28. They claimed that I resided on Stanton Avenue, the location of the nuisance party, even as they were arresting me inside my apartment on Hunt Street. As I was being cuffed and taken to the Story County jail in Nevada, I had absolutely no idea how this was happening to me, but I knew I was innocent and I knew I could prove it.

I later found out that when Rivera dispersed the party in question, two people clearing out stereo equipment provided the name of the party’s host; not my name, but a similar sounding one. The police then called the property managers, discovering that a person with a name similar to mine had been evicted from the apartment where the party had been held, but had never turned in his key.

Rather than asking for a spelling clarification or a social security number — both of which the property managers could easily have provided — the police simply typed the name they heard into a database and came up with me.

In other words, the Ames police made

The case of mistaken identity in“The Big Lebowski” bears similarities to Leehey’s story: The Dude: “Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I’m the Dude, man.” Blond Treehorn Thug: “Your name’s Lebowski, Lebowski.” Courtesy Photo: Sleeper Cell/Flickr

absolutely no attempt to verify the identity of the person they sought to arrest, even though the information to do so was right at their fingertips.

The first thought that ran through my mind as I was being hauled off to jail was that I had a paper due Monday morning, and I was relying on being able to write it Sunday.

Fortunately, I have some amazing friends, and they came to Nevada and bailed me out immediately. Thanks to them, I was able to turn in my paper on time. I am also lucky to have a lawyer in the family, which is likely the only reason the Nuisance Party Violation charge was dismissed.

But what if the Ames police had wrongfully arrested someone with fewer resources than I? My arresting officers did not speak to me as though I were a defendant; despite the fact that neither of them had been present for the dispersal of the party, both of them kept using phrases such as “you were there,” and “the party you hosted.” My guilt had been presumed, and yet there was not a shred of evidence against me.

Even when the police were presented with an irrefutable alibi for my whereabouts at the time this nuisance party was held, they maintained that I must have hosted it. Finally, a county prosecutor made the verifications the police should have made in the first place, discovering that it was not my name on the Stanton apartment lease but some other person’s with a similar name.

It is absurd enough that I was forced to prove my innocence because the Ames police presumed my guilt, but the fact that I had to do so because of their sloppy procedure is disturbing. How many other people will be wrongfully arrested, I wonder, before the police officers of Ames are forced to actually collect evidence against the accused before dragging them off to Nevada?

Advice

Get a passport, embark on an adventure

By Lauren.Hayward iowastatedaily.com

I

f there is one piece of Australian advice I could dispense, it is the vital need for the human psyche to travel and experience different cultures.

We often describe life as a journey; however, with fewer than 40 percent of Iowans owning passports it would appear this adage has slipped into metaphoric vernacular as opposed to a literal life lesson.

Living in Australia we are severely geopolitically isolated, but, it would seem that there is an inferiority complex that comes with being a western nation located in Asia that closely follows the Canadian multicultural policies: We see second-hand culture, but crave to experience it ourselves.

Australian culture prescribes international travel at a young age. The concept of a “gapyear� of European travel and backpacking is a rite of passage and was the catalyst for Contiki Tours — those wild and debaucherous bus tours across Europe, and now the world.

Many high school graduates take a year off before beginning tertiary education to save up cash, living with mum and dad before traveling Europe for several months, taking in obligatory experiences such as La Tomatina in Spain, Oktoberfest in Munich, and “coffee shops� in Amsterdam.

Closer to home there are more overseas travel options, New Zealand is to Australia what Canada is to the United States.: ďŹ lled with adventure sports, incredible skiing and beautiful scenery. Meanwhile, Asia is the equivalent to the Caribbean and Central America: cheap, wild, tropical and dangerous.

Australians love to travel to the U.S. as well, citing the shopping, cultural inuence and more recently the fact that our dollar is stronger than the U.S. dollar, as strong motivators to pay a visit to the land of the brave and home of the free.

All this globe trotting has one thing in common: the ownership and frequent use of a passport.

A passport enables you to truly have an

adventure, and for those who are older than 18, it lasts for 10 years, and is relatively cheap and easy to obtain.

In honor of Passport Day on April 9, here is a step by step guide to obtaining your ďŹ rst U.S. passport so that you too may be able to travel the world and dispel those rumors about Americans overseas.

Getting a passport: You’ll want a passport and passport card. It costs $140 plus a $25 application fee. Yes that might seem a little steep, but really it’s $16.50 a year to have the honor of holding one of the most coveted documents in the entire world.

Fill it in: Complete the DS-11 form. Thanks to the great American invention of the Internet, it’s all digitized and online now, but if you want to go old school, you can ďŹ ll it in by hand too.

Either way you’re going to have to print it out.

This form has all sorts of information that tells you what is required of you to obtain a U.S. passport but essentially all you need is a certiďŹ ed U.S. birth certiďŹ cate, driver’s license, recent passport photo taken at a drugstore or retail outlet and to ďŹ ll in the gaps regarding your personal information including what you look like — height, hair color, eye color — your social security number and your parents’ names.

Don’t be put off by the question regarding future travel plans, you don’t need to have any, and many people obtain passports for all sorts of reasons other than overseas travel including extra ID or to prove that they are indeed a citizen of the U.S. for work purposes.

Free speech

Speak out against hateful views when confronted

By Claire.Vriezen iowastatedaily.com

I

t is not an uncommon sight: A slightly older man standing outside the Parks Library, a worn and aged book in hand, speaking loudly to people passing by about God, Jesus, and the faith of Christianity.

While most tend to continue on their way, occasionally someone will stop to ask questions, argue or just listen to those that preach.

Normally, if time allows, I stop and listen to campus preachers. I ďŹ nd it interesting to see the perspectives of different preachers as well as the variety of reactions they elicit from their audiences. Occasionally I become involved in the discourse, but normally there are enough other vocal members of the audience that I needn’t bother.

There was a particular traveling preacher a few weeks ago who took a rather unusual and extreme stance on the Bible and some of its teachings. In my opinion, he truly ďŹ t the stereotype of the “crazy preacherâ€? that stands on sidewalks condemning students to Hell.

During the course of several hours, this man stated that non-Christians have no way to tell if an action is moral or not, non-Christians have no reason to oppose imperialism, and “slavery’s not all bad� — referring to biblical indentured servants. He later said that beating a disobedient indentured servant was acceptable as well.

When discussing religious conicts or wars, he claimed that Christians under attack should be paciďŹ sts and essentially let themselves be killed “as a lamb led to the slaughter,â€? an extreme version of turning the other cheek.

Oh yes, and when a woman who had served in the military informed this preacher that she had lost her faith in the war? He told her “you shouldn’t send women to war.�

Apparently women shouldn’t be allowed to volunteer to protect and defend their country alongside men.

They’re probably supposed to be home taking care of the children or something, rather than have a courageous and seless sense of patriotism.

Later in the day, when talking with members of the Atheist and Agnostic Society, someone asked this man if he lived in Old Testament

Biblical times, would he stone adulterers, homosexuals and obstinate youth as God commanded? In his mind, “[he doesn’t] think it’s unreasonable at all.�

It wasn’t just the skeptics, non-Christians or atheists that objected to many of these statements. While I stood and listened, there were other Christians in the crowd that were appalled at his blatant judgment of the audience and his extreme claims.

Many simply objected to his condemnation of the audience, saying that Christianity should be focused on acceptance and love. At one point, a young lady spoke up, saying that she was pro-choice, supported gay rights, and was also a Christian. Without asking for her reasoning or further information, the preacher immediately declared her ideas to be wrong and moved on.

Not only did this particular preacher show himself to be homophobic, sexist and judgmental, but he also showed

complete closed-mindedness to the differing views of his fellow Christians.

I can appreciate valid, thoughtful philosophical discourse, but when people refuse to take an honest look at the ideas of others, I take issue. When people accept Bronze Age ideas about stoning adulterers due to their religion, I take issue. When people tell me that morality can only come from a Christian standpoint, I take issue.

Given that Christianity only makes up 33 percent of the world’s religions, it would seem that this man views the remaining two-thirds of the planet’s population as immoral nonbelievers.

Remember folks, this means that Gandhi was immoral too.

I could be wrong, but last I checked, most people thought Gandhi was a pretty nice, upstanding guy.

This man was promoting his views in a public place dedicated to free speech and censoring certain views does

nothing to promote honest discourse, and there is nothing to prevent people from continuing to preach this way.

I hope both believers and nonbelievers alike can listen to people like this and see some clear errors in these views.

This particular man was spouting hate and judgment, presuming to know the hearts and minds of those listening. The next time students have the opportunity to listen to someone like this, regardless of their faith, I

would hope they still speak out against views that may promote violence, oppression and inequality. While this nation allows for the freedom of speech and religion, we needn’t let messages such as his go unchallenged.

Softball

Gophers sweep Cyclones Extra-inning, one-run loss gives way to 11-3 defeat

By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com The Cyclone softball team dropped both games of a doubleheader Thursday to the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

The first game was a 10-inning marathon that ended with Minnesota picking up a 1-0 victory. The Cyclone offense was anemic throughout the game, amassing just seven hits while striking out a seasonhigh 15 times.

Minnesota ace pitcher Sara Moulton baffled the ISU hitters for much of the game by taking advantage of the umpire’s wide strike zone and painting the outside corners of the plate.

“The freshman pitcher [Moulton] was really impressive, and I think she did a good job of throwing to the strike zone that was there, and in return we need to do the same thing,” said ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler.

“Offensively, you need to be aware of the strike zone as well and adjust to that in order to execute,” she said.

Zabriskie pitched all 10 innings for Iowa State, giving up nine hits on 42 total batters faced.

The Cyclones had opportunities to take the win, specifically in the bottom of the seventh inning.

“It was frustrating because I got up to bat with the bases loaded in the seventh and I started secondguessing myself, and I missed a pitch that I could have gone the opposite way with, and I could have won the game,” ISU third baseman Dalyn Varela said.

“It’s really frustrating when you know you’re not helping your pitcher,” Varela said.

After the ninth inning was complete, the international tie-breaker was enforced, which automatically places a runner on second base to begin the inning.

The runner placed on second base is the last batter from the previous inning, unless a pinch runner is used.

In the top of the 10th inning, Golden Gopher second baseman Dannie Skrove was on second due to

the rule change, when Minnesota catcher Kari Dorle came to plate. Dorle drilled a double to center field that brought Skrove home, and ended up being the game-winning run.

In the second game, the wheels came off for the Cyclones in an 11-3 loss.

Lauren Kennewell started the game for Iowa State, but only lasted 1 1/3 innings before being replaced by Bree Holliday, who was later replaced by Tori Torrescano.

None of the pitchers fared well as Kennewell and Holliday each gave up four runs a piece, while Torrescano gave up three.

The Cyclones’ lone runs came in the bottom of the third when Varela smacked a three-run homer to left field.

“In the second game, it was something that we’ve been talking about where when you make one mistake, you can’t make another one,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “We just didn’t throw well, we didn’t defend well and we didn’t hit well.”

The Cyclones will be back in action this weekend to face Texas Tech at 2 p.m.

Saturday in Ames.

Among elite company ISU to face Red Raiders Zabriskie enters Big 12 conference strikeout top 10

By Darrin.Cline iowastatedaily.com A brief glance at the ISU softball record books reveals Rachel Zabriskie’s name etched atop nearly every pitching category.

However, her performance against Minnesota on Thursday placed her in the pantheon among the Big 12 elite. Zabriskie struck out nine Gopher batters, elevating her career total to 764. With this number, Zabriskie now stands 10th all time in the conference.

“I knew that I was getting close, but I wouldn’t say I was gunning for it,” Zabriskie said. “But now that I have it, it’s some weight off my shoulders.”

Despite the team’s loss to the Gophers, Zabriskie pitched all 10 innings of the overtime thriller, only allowing one run.

Zabriskie has been a force since stepping foot in Ames.

She holds the school record for single season and career strikeouts, career wins and innings pitched.

She set the bar for career totals in strikeouts and wins in just three seasons at Iowa State.

Courtney Dully, ace for the

word!

Cyclones in the mid-1990s, is second on the school’s all-time strike out list with 495, nearly 300 less than Zabriskie.

Stading at ninth, Zabriskie is poised to maintain her place among the Big 12’s greatest.

She is the only active pitcher on the list and stands 81 K’s away from eighth place. The top spot belongs to former University of Texas great Cat Osterman, who fanned a mind boggling 2,265 batters in her career.

Zabriskie said she was honored to be in that elite company.

“It’s nice to know that I’m on that list,” Zabriskie said.

“It’s really nice to know that I’m on that list and made an impact not only for my team but also the Big 12.”

With a bulk of rivalry and conference games on the horizon, the Cyclones will be looking to their strike out stalwart for guidance from the mound.

A seven strike out per start average Zabriskie not only gives the team a chance for success, but will almost inevitably cement her place in school and conference history.

Coach cites good practice to prepare for game

By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com The Cyclone softball team is preparing to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders this weekend in Ames.

“We need to come back and just play much more like we played on Tuesday. Texas Tech is a good team with a lot of wins,” said ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler.

vs.

Texas Tech (36-6, 1-5) Where: Southwest Athletic Complex When: 2 p.m. Saturday, 11 a.m. Sunday Notes: Iowa State is coming off of getting swept in a doubleheader by Minnesota by a combined score of 12-3.

Texas Tech went 35-1 in non-conference play, including playing 25-straight home games before Big 12 play started.

“With anyone in the Big 12 from here on out, we’re going to be in the same boat. It’s important that we come on Friday and have a good practice and we get ready to play,” she said.

Texas Tech feasted on a weak, non-conference schedule, getting off to a 35-1 start that included playing 25-straight games in the comforts of home at Rocky Johnson Field in Lubbock, Texas.

Since starting Big 12 play, the Red Raiders are 1-5, with their only win coming over Oklahoma.

Saturday’s game in Ames will be Texas Tech’s first true road game of the season, as all their games have been played either at home or neutral sites.

“The big thing is that any time you get off to a 35-1 start before you enter Big 12 play, you will have a ton of confidence, and you always play better when you feel confident,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.

“They’ve had some pretty good wins, and I think they’re tough,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.

Junior college transfer Cydney Allen leads a powerful Red Raider offensive attack with a .437 batting average and 11 home runs.

The Red Raiders have hit 47 home runs so far this season and have a team batting average of .368.

Texas Tech also has a deep pitching rotation led by freshman Brittany Talley (11-3) and junior Kelsey Dennis (112), while freshman Kermitria Ward (5-1) has picked up three saves while compiling an ERA of 1.62.

“Everybody can hit in the Big 12, so we need to be ready for that and be able to hold our own on offense and on defense and not make our pitchers do everything,” said Cyclone third baseman Dalyn Varela.

“In the Big 12, anybody can beat anybody on any day. We know that because we beat Oklahoma State.”

The first game will be played at 2 p.m. Saturday at the Southwest Athletic Complex in Ames. The second game will take place at 11 a.m.

Sunday at the same location.

Golfers regroup Cyclones hope to get back on track at invitational

By Dean.Berhow-Goll iowastatedaily.com

The Cyclone men’s golfers head to the Adidas Hoosier Invitational this weekend in hopes to turn around their recent high scoring.

Courtesy Photo: ISU Athletics

After a horrendous last tournament, the ISU men’s golf team had some soul searching to do.

Each player tried to do so by working on his own game through individual workouts over the last week. “This gave us a chance to get out and play a few more holes this week by ourselves,� said junior Tom Lathrop, “and prepare in our own way, which was really nice.�

The team heads into the Adidas Hoosier Invitational this weekend a bit rattled.

After setting the ISU 54-hole record score, the team has ďŹ nished 12th out of 17 teams, and then 10th out of 12.

A possible reason for why the team has struggled so much as of late could be conďŹ dence.

The Cyclones’ struggle to get back on track and regain that conďŹ dence was demonstrated through the previous two tournaments.

In those two tournaments the Cyclones saw their team’s stroke average per round go from 76, 75 and 79 at the First Tee Collegiate to 78, 78 and 84 at the University Club Collegiate. “As we’ve got to tougher golf courses, our weaknesses have been exposed,� said assistant coach Patrick Datz. “So we’re just trying to get back to basics for this weekend,� he said.

A few changes were made in the lineup for this week-

Iowa State faced seven top 100 teams last week.

end’s meet. In place of Michael Wuertz and Jacob Aaholm, senior Nathan Leary and sophomore Josh Bruder will be starting. Bruder, a Lakeville, Minn. native, will be making his ďŹ rst collegiate start for the Cyclones.

Bruder wasn’t available for comment, but said in a text message he is “excited to get some experience under his belt.�

A notable difference in this weekend’s meet compared to the last two is a weaker ďŹ eld.

At the First Tee Collegiate, there were seven teams in the top 100, and then at the University Club Collegiate, there were six teams ranked higher than Iowa State, including No. 12 LSU and No. 13 Iowa.

This week the ďŹ eld features 15 teams, only one ranked higher than the Cyclones in No. 34 Indiana. “The guys just need to go and handle business, because things can’t keep going the way they have been,â€? Datz said. “So if we get back to the way we played earlier this spring, we’ll be ďŹ ne.â€?

Undersized tackles strengthen other facets Linemen rely on momentum to make up for size

By Jake.Calhoun iowastatedaily.com The interior linemen are regularly left to do the dirty work for the defensive unit, which can become a daunting task against heavy opposing offensive lines.

Despite not having even one defensive tackle eclipsing the 300-pound mark, the Cyclone interior line has been working on strengthening other facets of its game to prevent itself from getting pushed around when the season starts in the fall. “We play get-off defensive, we get off the ball,� said senior nose guard Stephen Ruempolhamer. “So we work with our momentum to have success up front,� he said.

The interior line has been showing signs of improvement in getting off blocks, better than it has in the past, said defensive tackles coach Shane Burnham. “In the past maybe we’d get in our gap, we could hold a block,â€? Burnham said. “But they’ve done a better job ďŹ nding the football, getting off the block and playing with their eyes.â€?

Iowa State’s Stephen Ruempolhamer tackles Kansas State’s Daniel Thomas during the Cyclones’ game Sept. 18, 2010, at Arrowhead Stadium. The Cyclones lost 27-20.

Junior Cleyon Laing’s transition to the interior line from defensive end brings the athleticism of an end that Burnham felt is ideal for helping with the inside pass rush.

However, Laing still needs to work on defending the run. “It’s a little noisier on the inside than it is on the edge, and I don’t think he’s used to the noise yet,� Burnham said. “I’m trying to get him to embrace that noise, but I don’t know if he has yet,� Burnham

said.

In contention with Laing for the starting spot at threetechnique is junior Jake McDonough, who has seen much improvement from last spring. “My pad level is the main thing that has improved a lot from last year,� McDonough said. “I’m starting to be a little more explosive off the ball from where I was last year,�

McDonough said.

McDonough also credited Director of Strength and Conditioning Yancy McKnight for his improved agility and an improved hip exibility that has helped lower his pad level. “I told my guys, ‘If Jake McDonough can play with pad level, then anybody can play with pad level,’â€? Burnham said. “Because he might have been the most high-hipped guy I’d ever come across.â€?

Students either graduating in May or those just looking for a summer job could face more prospects this summer com-

pared to the last few years. “I believe it should be better because, compared to last year and even the year before, more ďŹ rms are thinking about what they’re going to be doing in the next couple of years versus just trying to hold things together,â€? Swenson said.

In most instances, diesel-powered generators are used less than an hour a year for testing and maintenance, but some function more frequently.

Unlike in the city of Ames, excessive use is especially prevalent in smaller communities that purchase their electricity from larger entities and are generally more dependent on backup generators.

The regulations were later amended to exclude generators that operate less than 15 hours per year in order to spare other facilities. “We stand at the opposite end of things,� said Leland Searles, air quality program director of the Iowa Environmental Council. “The council feels that these are necessary with a few ex-

However, Searles was skeptical as to whether the executive order would be effective. He stated that, because the original regulations were imposed by the federal government, they would simply be implemented at a later date through federal, rather than state entities.

Searles, is also much more concerned about the potential health risks associated with the pollution from the burning diesel fuel. He was unsure as to whether the initial costs of the generators would outweigh the potential health costs that result from the smog.

Branstad did not reference the health problems, but was conďŹ dent in the ďŹ nancial beneďŹ ts of vetoing the RICE standards. “This administration is serious about removing burdensome regulations,â€? Branstad said in a prepared statement.

Daily Horoscope : by Nancy Black and Stephanie Clements

Virgo: Keep Communications Clear

Today’s Birthday (04/08/11). It’s all right to question your purpose, which will certainly be an interesting inquiry. Choose projects that are close to your heart, and go for them. You have much to gain, and nothing to lose. Give it a try.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Rules simplify things. You and a distant colleague see eye to eye. If you stumble, get up again. Don’t fret about the money.

Two heads are better than one to resolve an issue.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Old, high-quality standards show their value. Ask for recommendations, and keep a stash in reserve. It’s not a good time to travel or to try a new trick. Grab happiness from a glimmer, and focus on it.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Accept a generous offer. Get the facts to the right person. Reaffirm a commitment.

Slow and steady does it. Keep focusing on your goals, even if they if they seem as far away as ever. Heed the voice of experience.

Level: medium INSTRUCTIONS: Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every number 1 to 9. For strategies on solving Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Accept a generous offer. Count an awkward moment as another learning experience. Don’t let a minor disagreement mess up all your plans.

Compromise.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Pay attention to kitchen or plumbing care. Solutions and new opportunities get revealed in conversation with others. Fulfill your promises, and money comes in.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Avoid making the mistakes of another.

Romantic misunderstandings could occur, so avoid tooting your own horn and focus on listening. Keep communications clear.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Even with all of today’s distractions, concentrate on providing good service.

Play by the rules, and accept another assignment for a bonus. This boosts morale.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Accept well-earned acknowledgment.

Prepare for more than you think you can cover in the allotted time. This is the stuff that’s been winning that recognition.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Keep quiet about finances, but don’t go into debt. Use your whole mind and body.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Keep planting those seeds and nurturing the soil for a plentiful harvest.

Postpone travel plans. Shift things around. Keep the focus, even for others easily distracted.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- Practice playing by the rules. It pays off. Don’t be too demanding in love today.

Listen in and to the silence. Work behind close doors for efficiency.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Today is not a good day for travel or work. Expand in the direction of least resistance. Get support from the group.

Imagine the future. Enjoy peaceful moments.
