The dramatic 2006 showdown between Oprah Winfrey and controversial writer James Frey on her talk show is probably etched into some of our brains, but Frey’s never seen it.

Still, the author of the fictionalized memoir “A Million Little Pieces” says he can vividly recall the experience before, during and after that episode, when Winfrey publicly took him to task for being misleading about some of the events in the book.

That episode “is sort of a personal car crash for me,” he told Winfrey Monday. “I just don’t want to watch it. It definitely wasn’t my finest day, and it wasn’t a day I was proud of.”

“This was my first college experience,” Roberts told the June issue of W magazine. “And the first time I had to speak in front of a classroom, I was apoplectic.

Beloved barber to hang up shears Owner of Monty’s steps into retirement

By Katherine.Klingseis iowastatedaily.com

By Katherine Klingseis, katherine.klingseis@iowastatedaily.com Monty Brown is more than just a barber. He is also a news source, sports commentator and therapist. Recently, he added another label to the list: retiree.

After more than 40 years of being a barber, Brown retired from the business on Saturday.

He hosted a retirement party Saturday morning to thank all of his loyal customers.

“I’ve had people call me that I haven’t even talked to in 20-some years [who] figured out I was retiring, so they called me,” he said. “That’s what means a lot.”

Brown grew up in Henderson, a small town in southwest Iowa. He became interested in becoming a bar-

ber after his best friend decided to attend barber school.

Brown realized that a career as a barber had many of the occupational qualities he was looking for.

“Probably at that time, I had hay fever and allergies and stuff, and I thought, ‘I really can’t work outside a lot in the summer time, it would be difficult, so I need to find an

inside job that I didn’t have to go to college to get,’” Brown said. “Barber school was a good choice — a very good choice.”

Brown and his friend attended a barber school in Sioux City. He explained that the school was in a run-down area of the city.

“It was in the lower fourth of Sioux City — it was kind of skid row,” he said. “So, you

would work on people from skid row.”

After finishing barber school, Brown’s best friend was hired at a barber shop in Gilbert. He told Brown of a job opening in Ames.

“The barber shop [my best friend] was going into, one of the guys was starting his own

The next year, Brown was drafted into the army, where he served for two years. On his return, he began working at a barber shop on West St. After working there six years, Brown decided to move across the street to 2801 West St. to open his own barber shop.

The building that Monty’s Barber Shop is located in has been a barber shop since 1917, Brown explained. He contributes the barber shop’s long-life and success to the presence of Iowa State in the community.

“I don’t know the ratio of guys to girls, but I think there

are about 3,000 new guys in town every year,” he said. “I thank Iowa State for my good fortune.”

Brown explained that the most important part of his job was getting to know his customers.

“There are a lot of great people, a lot of crazy people,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of fun with them.”

After 40 years of serving a countless number of customers, Brown has decided it is time to retire. His decision was made after returning from a vacation in August.

“I came back from vacation last August, and I was like, ‘You know what, I really don’t want to do this again,’” He said. “I just had too good of a time.”

As a retiree, Brown plans

on spending more time with his family. He also intends to travel to a lot of places, including Alaska, Hawaii and the Panama Canal.

“I’ve got a lot of things I want to do,” he said. “Things I haven’t had time to do for the last 40 years.”

Brown’s replacement, Troy Cakerice, officially took over the business on Saturday.

Cakerice has Brown’s stamp of approval.

“I’m going to go to Troy [for a haircut],” Brown said.

“I’m going to come back as a customer.”

As a barber, Brown hopes to be remembered for “doing the best job [he could] do, and just being a fair guy.”

“That will be good enough,” he said. “That’s why they keep

ISU center to battle ISU Alumni Center enters EPA contest

By Ben.Theobald iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State Alumni Center has been selected to take part in Battle of the Buildings, a competition sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star.

The ISU Alumni Center, home of the Iowa State Alumni Association, is one of 245 buildings selected for the competition.

“The whole purpose is to be aware for facilities to save energy and better utilize electricity,” said Gustavo Tello, EPA information specialist.

The 245 buildings taking

part in the competition come from 33 states. The competition started May 4.

“We had to send in an application,” said Carole Gieseke, communications director of the Alumni Association.

“The buildings ranged from retail stores to schools and even hotels. It is just a little bit ofeverything.”

The Iowa State Alumni Center is the second most energy-efficient building on campus.

“We are the only building on campus that is heated with a geothermal system,” Gieseke said. “It is very efficient since it uses the heating and cooling factors of the ground.”

The point of the competition is to learn how to be energy-efficient in a certain time period.

“They are telling us that 30 percent of energy is wasted,”

Gieseke said. “We are trying to figure out how to not waste that.”

The Alumni Center staff brainstormed all different types of ways to save energy.

“We have light sensors that turn on when you enter a room and off when you leave,” Gieseke said. “We are trying to do more saving energy with computers and cell phones such as shutting off power sources in walls. That is a huge energy waster.”

Another feature of the building the staff is focusing on is the heating and cooling systems in the Alumni Center.

“It is basic stuff that we are trying to improve,” Gieseke said. “We’re excited being a part of the competition.

The finalists will be announced June 15 and the winner will be announced November 2.

Academics

Students gear up for first-session summer classes Summer classes challenge, instruct

By Katie.Miner iowastatedaily.com As the first session of the summer semester begins, students are gearing up for another round of classes.

“I took calculus [online through DMACC] last summer with a full-time job, and that was crazy. I did not have time to do anything else,” said Kaeleigh Gebard, junior in kinesiology, pre-physical therapy. “I think this summer, working in the evenings instead of all day and still being in the university setting . . . and being here — and having all my friends taking classes as well — will hopefully be a little bit easier.”

Students like Gebard will be taking classes during the first session of the summer semester, which ends July 8. The second session of the semester will begin June 13 and end August 5. Both sessions are 8 weeks long.

“Most of the students who

are enrolled in the first summer session are continuing students,” said Phil Caffrey, senior associate director of admissions. “Most of the students who enter Iowa State during the summer term do not enter until the second summer session, so as we’re admitting new students for the summer, we’re admitting the

vast majority of them for the second session.”

Caffrey also explained the benefits of the second summer session to incoming students.

“We have a summer trial enrollment that we offer to some students who don’t meet our criteria for normal admissions requirements, and those students have to enroll during the second summer term,” Caffrey said. “If they [earn a “C” average] then they are allowed to continue in the fall and they’re no longer on a trial basis, and they’re actually 6 credits ahead of the students who are starting in the fall.”

Undergraduate and graduate students who enrolled at Iowa State for the 2010 summer semester totaled 9,634 — an increase of 515 students from 2009, according to the Office of the Registrar’s Enrollment Statistics.

Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering make up approximately 48 percent of students in the summer. Minority and international students comprise about 26 percent of summer semester students.

Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Registrar Kathy Jones said she believes there is an increase in enrollment for this summer semester.

“We will not have summer enrollment counts until June 24. At this point, the best indication of summer enrollment is the trend for academic year 2010-2011 as compared to the prior year,” Jones said. “Both fall and spring enrollments were up this year, so I would expect that summer would follow the upward trend.”

Caffrey said he thinks several factors attract students to the summer semester.

“The courses meet for 8 weeks instead of the regular 16 weeks a semester, and a 3-credit class that would typically meet 3 hours a week in the fall or spring meets 5 hours a week during the summer term, so the pace is considerably faster,”he said.

“For a lot of students, I think it’s just catching up.

Maybe they took a lighter load in the fall or spring,” Caffrey said.

Sarah Donahue, junior in business and environmental studies, cites similar reasons for taking summer classes.

“When I switched majors

I had to get a lot of my business ones out of the way, and so before I can start my core classes I have to make sure I get all my Business Administration classes done,” Donahue said.

Not only does the summer semester offer students a chance to “catch up” on classes, but also the atmosphere during the summer is something that Caffrey believes appeals to students.

“The summer term is kind of a contrast because while the pace is fast, the atmosphere just seems more relaxed, I think — and I think students like that,” Caffrey said. “Also, when students take summer classes, they don’t normally take more than a couple classes, so it really allows you to focus just on one or two classes instead of taking five classes in the fall, so I think that’s kind of appealing to students too.”

Gebard appreciates the atmosphere of the summer semester, which aids her in focusing in on her courses.

“My mom told me that you should take your hardest classes [in the summer]...and I feel like [my classes] will be easier in the summer, and it’s a good way to stay on top of your schoolwork,” Gebard said.

campus,” Orazem said.

The availability of retail jobs, in particular, is significant to Orazem because parttime jobs with a flexible schedule are key for students who want to leave the university with less debt.

Although a portion of the Ames community is in favor of the city getting more retail stores, another portion disapproved of the new building and its location. While North Grand Mall is accessible by several different CyRide routes, the new mall space was not near any route.

Additionally, Catherine Scott of the Ames Smart Growth Alliance, said a retail store off the interstate might also attract fewer drivers into the city of Ames.

“Because of where Ames is, we’re not going to attract a lot of people who are just driving by. We’re between Minneapolis and Des Moines

and those places are famous for their retail,” Scott said. “I think we have a lot of amenities inside of Ames. If people would come into town, then they could experience all of Ames and not just some retail on the interstate.”

Instead of using the space for retail, Scott said the land would be better for industrial use because the city of Nevada is “moving toward Ames with their industrial area.” But Scott said the decision on the land’s future use is still up in the air.

“It’s possible that some other person would purchase it. It’s possible we’ll have trouble selling it that way,” Scott said. “It remains to be seen what actually happens with the land.”

Dan Culhane, president and CEO of the Ames Economic Development Commission, could not be reached for comment.

O n M o n d ay morning, the land originally set for the new mall founOrazem dation was given over to Regions Bank.

James “Bucky” Wolford, the developer who purchased the land in 2007 never signed any leases with retail stores and incurred debt to the bank. Wolford had purchased 800,000 square feet of land at the intersection of Interstate 35 and East 13th Street. The space would have been made into the new retail mall called The Shops at East Prairie.

The foreclosure hearing was set for this morning at the Story County Justice Center in Nevada. No one appeared to represent Wolford at the hearing.

Despite the foreclosure, City Council member Peter Orazem wants the City to continue planning to use the space for retail.

“I would prefer to have frontage on the interstate that would be retail. We don’t have any retail currently directly on the interstate and I think we may be the only city in the country that makes this little retail dollars on the interstate,” Orazem said. “We would like to be able to have something that looks more inviting coming off the interstate than the National Animal Disease Lab.” Orazem wants the area to remain a retail space because it provides more job opportunities for ISU students.

“Clearly, Ames needs to provide part-time opportunities for students to be able to afford to go to Iowa State, especially with budget cuts that have limited, more so than in the past, the availability of work-study and other jobs on

Editorial

Avoid academic pitfalls for a productive, fun summer Most young Americans see the summer months as a time for fun, others, like the ISU students who began attending summer classes this week, see them as an opportunity to continue their studies.

Summer semesters are shorter. To some, attending a summer class for a few short weeks seems to be the best thing since sliced bread.

Students can work on gradu-

ation requirements, graduating early, or simply personal enjoyment.

Students can immerse themselves in a subject without the danger of confusing material from other classes. But with this immersion comes the risk of falling behind.

Many college students like to go out and party with friends and stay up until the

wee hours of the morning.

With extended daylight hours and gorgeous weather, the urge to embark on fun-filled adventures can frequently be too tempting to resist.

Daily readings for summer courses can easily be cast aside. What’s the harm in skipping one day’s worth of reading?

What you may or may not realize is that, in a class that

meets for only a few weeks, one day of not reading is equivalent to skipping a week of normal class readings.

That’s right — a week.

Many students in fall or spring semesters can often get away with skipping classes for a week or more because they know they can cram before an exam.

Skipping readings or class entirely for a day will lead to

so much falling behind that stress will begin to fill your summer months.

We suggest caution to any student partaking in summer study options at Iowa State. Having been there and done that, we know that being forced to cram for a summer course is not the way to go.

Enjoy your summer, be studious and don’t let yourself fall into bad habits.

Elections

Candidates, shut up and run already

I

t seems like politicians — Republicans, this year — constantly declare their interest in running for the Presidency.

This time around the list of “candidates” is enormous. To name a few of the declared candidates, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, John Davis, and Fred Karger have thrown their hat in the ring. Prospective candidates range from Donald Trump to Herman Cain to Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney.

This ambiguity — is he running, is he not running, if he’s not running what is he doing on every Fox News talk show? — should frustrate you to no end.

The Presidency of the United States of America is a job. It is a public service. The man (or woman) elected on November 6, 2012 will swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, defend it and look after the interests of the whole body of American people protected by it.

And that is a weighty charge.

But we continually — with increasing frequency — allow public figures to bandy about waving their arms, trying to get as much attention as possible before the arrival of the short months that precede caucuses and primaries. The first step in a run for the

presidency, in this “enlightened” modern age of ours, is to form an exploratory committee.

Why anyone would give any money to a person so he can “explore” a run for president is beyond me. Candidates should devote the two years before presidential elections to convincing the American people why they should cast their votes for them. They should be spent drumming up popular support for a potential presidential administration rather than “testing the waters,” trying to determine whether enough support for a viable run has already accumulated.

When I first talked to last year’s Opinion section editor about writing as a columnist for this paper, he asked me, “So, do you want to write for us?” My reply? A noncommittal “Sure.” He looked back at me and said something like, “No, do you want to write for us?”

“Gotta want it?” I asked. “Gotta want it,” was the reply.

We should say the same to every man who has even the slightest aspiration to be President. The office is far too important and far too powerful to be left to a man who is either indifferent to its power or who would rather passively wait for the voting public to, unprompted by some show of ability, bestow

upon him their confidence.

Mike Huckabee, like Mitt Romney a candidate from 2008, recently stated he was not going to run for President in 2012.

Nevertheless, he also told Politico that he “would have made a fine president.”

If that’s true, why not run? If he would be a good president to lead this country, why shouldn’t he run? Perhaps unlike marathons or other athletic races, the presidential race — political races in general — are not meant to be run solely so the competitor can win.

Instead, maybe the object of running in a political race is to run in a political race, or at least keep the other candidates honest about themselves and the constituency’s problems.

Only by running the race can a candidate — or athlete — discover, find and demonstrate his true abilities.

Who are the People to say whether or not a person should be running or not? If they have any authority to decide that question it will be exercised at the ballot box, on a night in early November that falls every four years.

Interested politicians should concentrate on interacting with people and creating support, instead of observing them, waiting for their support to materialize.

Election

Social media continues to transform campaigns

By Caytlin.Hentzel iowastatedaily.com

C

hange. Many fear it. Others hope for it. It happens with every movement of the hands on a clock. We do not realize subtle change, but when it occurs on a drastic level, our adrenaline pumps and our eyes go wide. Embracing it can bring huge rewards.

One word, one man and one vision influenced how presidential campaigns are run today. That man is president President Obama, that word is “change” and that vision was realized using the Internet.

In the 2008 election, Obama’s campaign used social media and the Internet to go farther than anyone imagined, revolutionizing campaigning by posting videos, maintaining multiple websites and reaching out to donors.

Direct mail and online communication are quick, convenient, cost-effective and accessible to a wide audience.

In 2008, there were approximately 100 million users of Facebook and 3 million users of Twitter. Mobilizing these user bases was crucial to the Obama campaign’s success.

I was stunned when I read a 2008 MSNBC article that said an estimated 22 to 24 million

young people voted in that election — a 2.2 million increase over the youth turnout for the 2004 election, according to the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE). Today, we learn more about what is happening on the political level online and through Facebook (which now connects 600 million people) and Twitter (now carrying the tweets of 200 million individuals).

On May 11, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich announced his presidential candidacy not on TV, through an interview, or at a public function, but via Twitter. Tim Pawlenty announced the formation of his exploratory committee through a video on Facebook, which only members who “liked” the page could view immediately. If you visit the websites of Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and President Obama you will find, within seconds, links to popular social media outlets to impel you to stay connected. Their goal is to reach out on our level. They aren’t just trying to sway teenagers; they also want to reach working adults on the cutting edge of technology who now have children. These vot-

ers look at voting in a different light, due to their concern for the people they are leaving behind.

Candidates are adapting to change. They know that each computer keystroke represents a shift from the classic television, newspaper and radio efforts to steer the vote. This is a positive shift. The Internet plays a huge role in our lives. Most of the information we read or hear about in the news causes us to flock to our phones, text friends for their opinion and otherwise spread the word. Social media continually evolves; this is just the beginning. But change doesn’t free candidates from the responsibility to appear publicly or answer questions.

By using the Internet, voters can get written, visual and interview evidence to support their decision. By searching “President Obama” on Google, I got over 64 million hits; on YouTube, I got 23,300 video results that included interviews and speeches. That alone is a plethora of information at one’s fingertips. All of it can be used to formulate an opinion about whom to support. More information in the hands of voters is vital because so many people in the past were uneducated. People now will be

able to look up voting records and see if their own views align with a particular candidate’s and can also watch countless interviews and speeches they would never be able to attend personally.

By these embracing technologies, candidates are taking a step in a positive direction. Such technologies will allow them to reach more people and influence their choice of whom to support in the upcoming 2012 elections.

Cyclones end season with pair of losses

By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com The ISU softball team (2128, 3-15 Big 12) ended their 2011 campaign by dropping both games of a doubleheader this Saturday at No. 6 Missouri (46-7, 15-3 Big 12), which locked up the conference championship with the wins.

Missouri boasts one of the top pitchers in the conference in Chelsea Thomas, who currently holds a 27-5 record, with a 0.81 ERA. In the first game of the series on Saturday, the Cyclones lost an 8-2 decision to the Tigers in what would be the final start of ISU ace pitcher Rachel Zabriskie’s collegiate career.

“With Chelsea Thomas, obviously she’s a great pitcher, but I thought that we had some really good at-bats against her,” said ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Celser, a former two-time all-conference softball player at Missouri.

“Obviously we just weren’t able to hold down their offense.”

Both teams were held scoreless until Missouri’s offense woke up in the bottom of the third inning on a twoout, three-run home run to right field off the bat of Ashley Fleming.

It was the 12th homer of the year for Fleming, who leads the Tiger offense with a .372 batting average and 55 RBI’s.

The Tigers struck again with another three-run inning in the bottom of the fifth, highlighted by a Princess Krebs two-RBI double.

Missouri padded their lead by manufacturing two more

runs in the bottom of the sixth off of Cyclone reflief pitcher Lauren Kennewell.

“I still thought that at times, Rachel threw really well. I mean, they’re a great team, and that’s why they won the conference,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “I felt pretty good about the way that we competed with them.”

The lone highlight of the game for the Cyclones came in the top of the fourth inning when ISU shortstop Sara Davison blasted her second home run of the year to make the score 3-1.

Cyclone freshman pitcher Bree Holliday garnered the eighth start of her career in the second game of the doubleheader, starting strong before being lit up in the third inning by the explosive Missouri offense.

“I thought she came out and threw really well in the first two innings and then she struggled in the third,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.

“It was just hard to get back on track because our defense made some mistakes behind her, which has been an issue that we have struggled with all year.”

Holliday gave up six runs in the bottom of the third, with most of the damage coming from home runs by Fleming and Abby Vock.

Vock would homer again in the bottom of the fourth to give Missouri an 8-0 cushion.

The Cyclones’ lone run came in the top of the fifth when Anna Cole scored on a fielding error by the Missouri first baseman.

Pitcher Zabriskie exits

By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler’s ISU softball team saw their season come to an end on Saturday after it dropped games of a doubleheader to Missouri on Saturday.

For their leader on and off the field, senior pitching ace Rachel Zabriskie, it was not just the end of the season, but the end of a celebrated collegiate career.

“Afterwards, I just told her thank you, because I think she has been great for our program,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said of the lone senior on her team. “I mean, she is a great softball player but she’s an even better person. So I just told her that I appreciated everything that she had done — all of her hard work — and I wish her the best.”

Zabriskie finished the season with a record of 14-18 and a 4.28 ERA. The Austin, Texas native will leave Iowa State

as the all-time leader in wins (67) and strikeouts (815).

Those 815 strikeouts put Zabriskie at 10th all-time in conference history for strikeouts in a career.

In the 49 games the Cyclones played this season, Zabriskie made 34 starts, highlighted by the dethroning of two nationally-ranked teams in Oklahoma State and Baylor, both of which were ranked 17th at the time the Cyclones played them.

The leading candidates to inherit Zabriskie’s starts next season will be freshman Bree Holliday and junior Lauren Kennewell.

Holliday posted a 3-5 record this season with a 5.88 ERA while Kennewell had a 2-3 record and a 6.59 ERA, with most of her innings coming in relief work.

As the Cyclones prepare for the postZabriskie era, Gemeinhardt-Cesler sees the past season as one of growth, but also knows there were some missed opportunities.

“There were definitely times when I thought that if we could play like this all the time, then we are going to have a lot of success,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.

“Then I think we could look back at some games that we should have won, and I think those really hurt us.”

The Cyclones’ roster this past season held 10 freshman, several of whom were put into roles that required major contribution. Shortstop Sara Davison and right fielder Anna Cole were both full-time starters this past season, along with several other freshmen who started sporadically throughout the season.

“I think we had a couple good conference wins and the big thing I thought is that we showed a lot of promise at times, but at the same time we showed our youth and we struggled with consistency other times,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.

The Cyclones end the 2011 season with a 21-28 record overall a 3-15 record in conference play, good for a ninth place finish in the Big 12.

Cyclone women exit Big 12 championships in sixth place

By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com The Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships wrapped up on Sunday for the Cyclone women’s track and field team.

Iowa State’s women’s team finished sixth in the rankings with 60 points, with Texas A&M winning the conference crown by racking up 146 points.

After one day of competition, the Cyclones were in third place behind the duo of Dani Stack and Betsy Saina, who ran a strong 10,000-meter final. Stack and Saina paced the race for the majority of the 10K before Oklahoma’s Jessica Engel made her move at the end, winning the

race with a time of 33:42.11.

Stack placed second in the 10,000-meter, clocking a 33:48.63, while Saina finished fourth in a time of 34:12.92. The two combined earned the Cyclones 13 team points in that race alone.

Jordon Andreassen, a junior from North Polk High School, started the heptathlon strong on Friday, finishing third 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.07, a personal best. Andreassen also posted personal bests in the 200-meter dash (25.40) and the shot put (40 feet, 8.75 inches).

Day one ended with Andreassen in third place in the heptathlon after four of the seven events were completed.

On Saturday, Andreassen picked up right where she left off the previous day. That day’s

Men get tenth place at meet

By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com The ISU men’s track and field team finished 10th this weekend at the Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships with 34 team points, edging out Kansas State by a single point.

Josh Koglin garnered a second-place finish in the hammer throw with a personal best of 197-02, which came on his last throw of the final round of the event. The throw of 197-02 puts Koglin in third on the all-time list of Iowa State outdoor track and field performers.

The second day of competition was a busy one for the ISU men hoping qualify for final events, which would take place on Sunday.

Ian Warner placed ninth in his prelim of the 100-meter dash with a personal best time of 10:50 to qualify him for the final the next day.

Freshman Edward Kemboi also qualified for the final of the 800-meter run after running a personal best time of 1:49.58, good enough for fourth in his prelim.

Warner matched his personal best on the previous day with another 10:50 time in the 100-meter dash final, earning him a fifth-place finish. Oklahoma’s Mookie Salaam won the event with a time of 10.23.

The 17-year-old Kemboi was then able to improve his time from the previous day, clocking a 1:47.90 in the 800-meter final, good enough for a second-place finish.

Hillary Bor, of Eldoret, Kenya, was able to continue his domination of the 3,000-meter steeplechase on Sunday posting a season-best time of 8:52.11. That was good enough to defend his title as Big 12 steeplechase champion.

Bor, the three-time steeplechase all-american, garnered 10 more points for the ISU men with that steeplechase title.

Two relay teams also contributed to the team points total, with the 4x100-meter relay team of Amara Sama, Ian Warner, Bryce Colston and Clint Martin finishing seventh with a time of

highligh was a javelin throw of 123-07, good for fourth in the event. Andreassen finished the heptathlon with a total score of 5,233, earning a third-place finish overall and picking up six team points.

Andreasson’s 5,233 points currently rank him third all-time at Iowa State for most points in a multi-event competition.

Through two days, the Cyclone women were in fourth with 27 points.

The meet’s final day was highlighted once again by the duo of Saina and Stack in the 5,000-meter final. Saina and Stack worked together and took control of the race with 2,000-meters remaining. Saina captured the 5,000-meter title with a time of 16:06.05, while Stack finished second, in 16:08.23.

Kianna Elahi picked up six more team points when she finished third in the 400-meter hurdles in a time of 57.44.

Monty’s Barbershop, a time-honored Ames establishment, will soon be no more — in name, that is. Meet Troy Cakerice, the newest owner of the business.

Cakerice, an Ames native who previously cut hair in Story City, has had his eye on Monty’s since barber school.

“Basically, this is the spot I’ve always wanted . . . it’s one of the busiest spots in the state,” Cakerice said.

At the beginning of each school year, new potential customers arrive in Ames — many

of whom remain loyal decades after graduation.

“If I can keep [up] what [Monty] had, things will go well,” Cakerice said.

Cakerice began cutting hair about seven years ago at the urging of Al Thompson, the first owner of the Head Shop on Welch Ave. “I was a student at Iowa State in [physical education] and basically it wasn’t really for me,” Cakerice said.

“I always had an itch to get into barbering and the rest is history.”

Cakerice described himself as a “people person”, a quality essential to the creation

of the unique barbershop atmosphere.

He regards his customers as friends, and offers reasonable prices for services rendered.

Cakerice said he will wait a few months before changing the name decal in the window to allow his new clientele time to get used to the change in management.

“I’d like to thank Monty for giving me the opportunity to buy his business,” Cakerice said.

“This is the spot . . . . If I could do what he did —live up to his standards — why, I’d have a good business here.”
