Set-aside program gives financial aid for others

By Morgan.Fleener @iowastatedaily.com Iowa universities are requiring students to pay an average of 22 percent of their tuition to help provide financial aid that the universities can use to help attract prospective

students Under this policy, the universities in Iowa have set aside a portion of students’ tuition for scholarships and financial aid for other students. The set-aside money goes to need-based and non-need-based aid for both instate and out-of-state students. “When dealing with the tuition set-aside program, I believe students should be most aware of exactly how much of the tuition increases

about which they complain is being used not for their education, but instead to subsidize others,” said Representative Chip Baltimore. An ISU undergraduate resident is expected to pay a total rounded cost of attendance of $18,520 after spending money on tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and anticipated personal expenses. Baltimore believes the ability for Iowa State to provide students with

Financial literacy

Group helps students budget By Charles.OBrien @iowastatedaily.com $29,455. This is the average amount of student debt an Iowa State graduate owes, a combination of rising tuition rates and poor financial literacy on the part of students.

A new student organization on campus called CyGold has a mission to help students learn how to become more financially literate. The idea for CyGold was spawned by former Government of the Student Body President Dakota Hoben and Vice President Jared Knight (who now serves as GSB president) during their campaign last spring, eventually becoming a reality during their

term this year. The group uses peer to peer interaction style instead of a financial adviser to help students. CyGold president Gregory Hunt, freshman in finance, explained there are several programs around the country that promote financial literacy, but Iowa

Crafty quilt inspires school spirit

Tom Short comes back to Iowa State By Katelynn McCollough Daily staff writer Tom Short, who describes himself as a “campus evangelist,” will be on campus sharing the gospel and answering students’ questions on Monday and Tuesday. Short will be located in front of the Hub in the Free Speech Zone. In the past, Short’s visit to campus has drawn those who either support, protest or wish to debate the subjects presented. Short is expanding to university students in both Europe and India. Short has also written a book titled “Five Crucial Questions about Christianity” and two evangelical magazines “The Truth Test” and “Why Jesus.” Short will be continuing on to Omaha after his visit to Iowa State.

financial aid allows a positive outcome when providing the university with numbers of students and students able to pursue an education. Looking at an adequate way in using a financial aid program, Baltimore feels Iowa State will continue to strive in developing a program that will not put the full burden of the program on the shoulders of young students.

There is nothing more picturesque in summer than a good beach on a sunny day. No matter what the water type, studies show that Iowans, given the chance, are flocking to water sources more and more

for recreational purposes. A study involving the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development and the Department of Natural Resources shows that in 2009, Iowans spent a total of $824 million in order to pursue recreational activities near water sources. Of that $824 million,

it is estimated that $130 million resulted in personal income for Iowans. “I think DNR was very interested in this [study] in terms of some guidance on what investments have the most payoff,” said Dan Otto,

Every Thursday afternoon, a small group of women gather to work on the coziest of crafts: the quilt. Before cutting fabric squares and stitching seam lines, however, they are adding an extra, cutting-edge step to the process. Using a state-ofthe-art printer, they have custom designed fabric, emblazoning their quilt with icons of Iowa State past and present in vivid color photographs. “It’s amazing what it can do,” said Carli Johnson-Scott, senior in apparel merchandising, design and production. Lecturers Tina Denekas and Sarah Bennett worked together to develop the class, TC
