By Daniel.Bush @iowastatedaily.com The Conservation Club has started to roll out plans to volunteer at Praeri Rail Trail for fall 2013. Katie Rutledge, freshman in agricultural business and club member, said they are focused on getting more members to participate and get the “ball rolling” on the project.

“As soon as we can, while the weather is nice, we want to get out there and work on the park,” Rutledge said. The organization will be responsible for multiple duties. “We will be working on removing invasive species, litter cleanup, the bluebird housing, making new trails,” Rutledge said. “Just making it

The Graduate and Professional Student Senate addressed concerns regarding a new resolution that would impact future and present graduate and professional students at Iowa State. The executive council presented the Senate Resolution S13–14, which is the promotion of graduate involvement and leadership, at the final meeting of the year on April 22. The resolution was taken both negatively and positively by the senators. The senators voted to table the resolution until fall semester. The purpose of the resolution is to encourage senators to be more involved in leadership positions and make it required for senators to hold a leadership position during their time in the graduate programs at Iowa State. Anna Prisacari, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Senate Executive Council, was involved in the start-up of the resolution. She said she was pleased with the reaction and discussion from the senators about the resolution. The comments from senators will help her to reevaluate the resolution until the fall semester when the resolution will be addressed again by the new senators. Prisacari said the “senators did not disagree with the main idea.” Some senators disagreed with the idea of making leadership positions and community involvement a “mandatory” requirement for

Bombing:

New suspects await hearing, sentencing On Wednesday, three suspects were arrested in connection with the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings, in which three were killed and hundreds injured. Brothers, Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev have been accused of setting off the bombs. Dzhokhar, the surviving brother, is being treated for gunshot wounds. Three new suspects, Dias Kadyrbayev, Azamat Tazhayakov and Robel Phillipos, were classmates of Dzhokhar’s. All three appeared in court on Wednesday and were charged with attempt to obstruct the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombing, according to the New York Times. They were accused of disposing of a backpack filled with fireworks that belonged to Dzhokhar. According to CBSNews, Phillipos was charged with lying to investigators. Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov could face five-year prison sentences and fines of $250,000 if found guilty. Their next hearing is on May 14.

Was Ethos stolen, thrown out? Cover story stirs controversy, possible trouble By Tedi.Mathis @iowastatedaily.com Racks with hundreds of Ethos magazines have been emptied following the week of them hitting campus. Speculations have been made, but no one is sure as to who is behind the act. “Huge stacks of them, full boxes of them were disappearing within minutes, which I would love to say is what usually happens, but it’s not, that’s not what usually happens, they don’t get picked up that fast,” said Devon O’Brien, editor-inchief of Ethos. O’Brien said that the magazines were put out on the evening of April 24 and by the afternoon of April 25, they were being thrown away. She speculated that the magazines were getting thrown out because people do not always agree with its content. “This is probably not the best on our part ... It was just coincidental, that the magazine came out the day before Take Back the Night, which is an event for sexual assault

was not supposed to focus on “that night,” even though she said it is a big part of who he is today. The article in question does not contain any information from, or about, the woman who filed the sexual assault charges against Palo. O’Brien and Gilman both said this is because the name was not released to the media. At this point in time, Dennis Chamberlin, faculty advisor for Ethos, said they

are working to find out what happened to the magazines. “They’re planning on pursuing it,” he said. “The police refused to get involved, even though there have been several successful prosecutions for newspaper theft and magazine theft on campuses across the country.” Ethos has worked to figure out how much money the publication takes to create and how much is being

thrown away. Dan Rediske, financial director for the Government of the Student Body, said that for the 20122103 school year, Ethos was allocated $19,128. “I think it takes about $5,500 or $6,000 to print 2,000 copies,” Gilman said. “I think we all estimate that well over 1,000 [copies] were thrown out or taken off campus, off the stands and done whatever with, so that’s probably about $2,500 at least.”

ISU students join debate Cyclones discuss impact of Guth’s ‘lifestyle’ remarks By Meghan.Johnson @iowastatedaily.com Sen. Dennis Guth has asked Sen. Matt McCoy to get lunch, hoping to put his remarks against gays behind them. Guth made remarks against the “homosexual lifestyle,” on the Iowa Senate floor. Guth’s main concern is the health issues that go along with gay relationships. The information he used to back up his opinion was based on statistics available from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. McCoy, who is openly gay, is willing to get lunch with Guth and suggested they go to Des Moines’ East Village. He even suggested walking past Blazing Saddle, a gay bar. “As of today, I am still wait-

ing for Sen. McCoy to personally respond to my offer,” Guth said. Guth’s comGuth ments gained a great deal of backlash from reporters and other senators. L G B T members McCoy on campus have also put in their two cents about the whole ordeal. Sarah Miller, the Education and Outreach Chair of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Ally Alliance, said “His testimony on the Senate floor was an attempt to mislead Iowans through red herring fallacies and fear-mongering under the guise of providing impressionable youth with a complete version of the ‘facts’ regarding same-sex relationships.” Sarah suggested Guth’s

information was taken out of context “in order to characterize same-sex relationships in a negative light.” Another big question about this issue is, should the topic of gay rights and situations like this even be involved in politics. “I think that it is important to talk about sexual orientation and gender identity within the sphere of politics provided that the focus is kept on the diversity of individuals within a given political constituency,” said Blake Miller, treasurer of Beta Lambda Chapter and president-elect of LGBTAA. “And not on winning political points for supporting the cause of one group over another within the plurality of interests in our political process.” While having nearly the same opinion about Guth’s testimony about gay marriage, Sarah and Blake had different opinions on how the situation has been dealt with. “I applaud Sen. Guth for attempting to start a dialogue

and for his willingness to sit down and have a mutually educational dialogue. I applaud Sen. McCoy for living openly and for continuing to represent the interests of LGBTQQIA individuals in the state of Iowa,” Blake said. “His willingness to sit down with an individual whose statements and viewpoints are diametrically opposed to his own illustrates his character as a human being and his value as a legislator who advocates for the equality of all people in the state of Iowa.” They do agree that Guth and McCoy meeting for lunch could be beneficial in many ways. “The lunch invitation from Sen. Guth was an attempt to improve his image after some incredibly inflammatory remarks,” Sarah said. “However, I think it can only be beneficial that our representatives engage in conversations on diversity and make connections with the Iowans they represent.”

Resolution S13-14 Resolution: Graduate students must hold a leadership position during grad schooling. ■■ GPSS resolution will be reevaluated for fall semester. ■■ New senators will be appointed for fall semester. ■■ Resolution goal is to allow graduate students to experience leadership opportunities prior to working.

>>RESOLUTION.p1 all Graduate and Professional Student Senate members. “We want our students to take advantage of these unique opportunities, so regardless where they end up after graduation, they can successfully take the role of a leader in their new communities,” Prisacari said. Sen. Scott Paja, doctorate student in higher education administration, said he thought one of the challenges during the meeting with the resolution was the mandated aspect of holding a leadership position. “Using the word ‘mandate’ is what scared a lot of folks,” Paja said. Paja’s dissertation topic is in leadership development in adult learning, so leadership opportunities are important to Paja. He said he supports the resolution but voted to table it until fall semester to work out details for people to feel comfortable with. “One of the challenges at any level, graduate or undergraduate, is getting passed the idea of leadership as a position,” Paja said.

File photo: William Deaton/Iowa State Daily Jose Eliseo De Leon, then vice president, opens up the start of the last Graduate and Professional Student Senate meeting on April 22. This fall, the Graduate and Professional Student Senate will vote on the updated resolution once again.

Dustin Dalluge, doctorate student in mechanical engineering, biorenewable resources and technology, also did not agree with the term mandate being used in the resolution presentation. “I think many of the senators were under the impression that this was a senate bill and everyone would suddenly be forced to take on leadership responsibilities before they could graduate,” Dalluge said. Dalluge said he agrees with the resolution to have graduate and professional students hold leadership positions prior

to graduation. There is a difference between the leadership positions for undergraduate students and graduate students, Dalluge added. “After graduation, whether in industry or academia, former graduate students will be expected to be a leader in some way or another,” Dalluge said. The resolution will be reevaluated in the fall semester with changes made over the summer months by Graduate and Professional Student Senate executive members.

Cyclones near finish of successful season

ISU hits peak in time for NCAA Central Regional By Lauren.Hedrick @iowastatedaily.com

The weather is getting warmer, the class list getting shorter and the anticipation of a heavily desired summer is evident. But with the end of the spring semester comes the end of the successful ISU women’s golf season. Throughout the 2012-13 season, the No. 22 Cyclones recorded several accomplishments. They recently tied the second-lowest 54-hole score in school history at the Marsh Landing Invitational with 865 and went on to place third at the Big 12 Championship. “We have gotten better and better toward the end of the season. Coach says that we are in our peak right now and it’s the perfect time with all of the NCAA tournament toward the end of the spring,” said Punpaka Phuntumabamrung. The Cyclones not only had team success, but success individually as well. Phuntumabamrung acquired a leadership role from an early start as the lone senior and short-game prodigy. Her season performances continued to reflect her determination to improve. “I feel pretty good; I feel like I played solid and I’m excited because it’s my last season,” Phuntumabamrung said. Throughout the season, Phuntumabamrung posted

several top-10 finishes, tallying 12 total in her career thus far. She posted the lowest score of her career with 213 strokes, matching the lowest 54-hole score in school history. “I have a better mental-set going into tournaments and it seems like it keeps improving and gets better and better each time,” Phuntumabamrang said. “It keeps my score consistent.” Phuntumabamrung recently finished the Big 12 meet in second place with 221 strokes, her fourth top-10 Big 12 Championship finish in her four-year career at Iowa State. She will graduate ranked individually in the top 100, according to Golfstat. “My scores are seeming to get lower and lower throughout each tournament, and my rank is moving up as an individual,” Phuntumabamrung said. “I’m excited to finish in the top 100.” Although its team leader may be graduating, the talent of the women’s golf team is not in short supply. All five non-seniors have competed in every tournament this season, each averaging a round score between 74.2-75.6 to rank them all in the top-225 individuals nationally, according to Golfweek. “We are only going to lose [Phuntumabamrung] and we are getting two new players,” said junior Prima Thammaraks. “Both of the girls are going to fit in really well, so we’re feeling really good, our roster is really strong.” The team still has some time together, as the season is not completely over yet.

Cyclones have recently qualified for the NCAA Central Regional in hopes of shooting for their first-ever spot in the NCAA finals. Thammaraks said expectations are high for the upcoming tournament. “I think we’re going to go and play our best now that we’re peaking at the right time and how good we can be and how low we can go as a team,” Thammaraks said. “I think that it doesn’t matter what the result is as long as we do that we will all be pretty happy.” The Cyclones will head to Norman, Okla., on May 9 for the NCAA Central Regional.

The ISU softball team fell to Iowa 8-3 on Wednesday night in Iowa City in this season’s installment of the Iowa Corn CyHawk Series. The loss put an end to the short two-game winning streak the Cyclones (21-30, 4-11 Big 12) had started after beating UMKC twice on Monday afternoon. Both teams got their bats going early Wednesday’s game, both scoring runs in each of the first three innings. The Hawkeyes (27-23, 5-15 Big Ten) were able to jump ahead of the Cyclones early, however, leading 6-3 after three innings. Iowa junior Brianna Luna added a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth to make it 7-3 Hawkeyes. Sarah Hawryluk went 3-for-4 for the Cyclones on Wednesday and was one of three players on the team with multiple hits. ISU junior Taylor Smith started in the pitcher’s circle for the Cyclones, going just 2.2 innings, while allowing six earned runs on 10 hits. The pitching staff has struggled for Iowa State this season; Smith’s 5.12 ERA going into Wednesday’s game was the best on the team. Senior Tori Torrescano took over in relief of Smith in the third inning, putting in 3.1 innings of work and allowing two earned runs on three hits and three walks. Hawkeye junior Kayla Massey got the start for Iowa, pitching her way to a complete game victory while allowing just two earned runs on nine hits and two walks. The all-time series between the two rivals has been fairly even overall, with the Cyclones now leading by a slim margin of 38-36-1. Iowa was just 3-11 at home this season prior to Wednesday’s game, but still managed to get going enough offensively to put Iowa State away early on. The Cyclones will take their brief in-state road trip to Cedar Falls on Thursday to play Northern Iowa at 6:30 p.m.

Editorial:

Sexuality in sports needs further action Jason Collins, center for the Washington Wizards of the NBA, made waves this week when he announced he was gay in a Sports Illustrated cover story, becoming the first active professional male athlete on a major U.S. sports team to come out publicly as gay. “I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay,” Collins said in the story. Once the story broke, several public figures voiced their support for Collins. In a press conference Tuesday, President Barack Obama said he talked to Collins Monday and said he, “couldn’t be prouder” of him. Former President Bill Clinton said in a statement Monday, he hoped everyone “extend to him their support and the respect he has earned.” Many current and former NBA players also publicly announced their support for Collins. Kobe Bryant, shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, stated on Twitter he was proud of Collins, and tweeted, “Don’t suffocate who u r because of the ignorance of others.” NBA Commissioner David Stern explained in a statement how widely respected Collins is and that the NBA was proud of his stance on this issue. While Collins is the first active male professional athlete to publicly come out as gay, he is not the first active professional athlete to do so — there have been many female professional athletes to have publicly announced they were gay in the past. For instance, Billie Jean King and Martina Nvratilova, professional female tennis players, came out as gay in 1981. Since then, several other female athletes in tennis, golf, soccer, basketball, etc. have also come out as gay. More recently, Brittney Griner, No. 1 pick in the 2013 WNBA draft, came out as gay in an interview with Sports Illustrated on April 17, 2013. While Griner and Collins are both professional athletes on major U.S. sports teams, Griner’s announcement received relatively little publicity, while Collins’ announcement has become one of this week’s most-popular stories. Why have so many female athletes publicly announced they are gay, while so few male athletes have done so? The answer to questions such as these are because of stereotypes of gender and sexuality, not so much with professional sports or its players. Stereotypical characteristics for females are: weak, bad at sports and subordinate. Male stereotypical characteristics are: strong, good at sports and dominant. However, when a person announces he or she is gay, the traditional characteristics associated with the person’s gender are often reversed, with males being seen as weak and bad at sports and females being viewed as strong and good at sports. Encouraging more professional athletes to come out as gay is not as simple as changing the culture of professional sports. To help athletes, and others, feel comfortable in publicly coming out, the stereotypes associated with gender and sexuality must be changed. Society, not just professional athletes, must rid itself of stereotypes associated with gay males and females. Collins’ announcement is a huge step in the right direction for gay athletes. Still, many more steps must be taken, not to change professional sports, but to change mind-sets.

Safe as we have ever been

Courtesy photo With crime rates lower than ever, recent tragedies have lead us to assume we should be taking action, which may be an overzealous response.

Crime rates at all-time low despite recent tragedies

andy Hook, 20 children and seven adults murdered, plus injured. Virginia Tech, 32 students and faculty murdered and 23 injured. Aurora theater, 12 movie patrons murdered and 58 injured. Town Center Mall, two shoppers murdered, plus injured. Binghamton School, 14 murdered, plus injured. Fort Hood, 13 murdered and 30 injured. Boston bombing, four murdered and 298 injured. In between all of the aforementioned violent crimes, more than 105 others were killed and more than 64 injured due to other random killing sprees. Undoubtedly, violent crime is on the rise, given this death spree toll is only five years running. And with everyone today holding a third eye in their pocket, streaming video, picture and text at the speed of light, everyone in the world can be a witness and sit shoulder to shoulder with every news anchor in the world. You might find it interesting that we are at an all-time low in violent crime in more than 40 years and a massive drop since the

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com mid-1990s, according to the FBI’s data collection. In 1992, the United States incurred more than 750 violent crimes per 100,000 people with a murder rate of 9.3 per 100,000 people. At the end of 2012, our nation had a violent crime rate of 377 per 100,000 people. In the last two decades, the rate has only increased between two consecutive years — 2005 and 2006. The murder rate for 2012 was down to 4.6 per 100,000 people, half that of two decades ago. Included with the decline of violent crime and murder, we have seen a decline in nearly every other category: rape, robbery, aggravated assault, property crime, burglary, larceny and motor theft. These drops weren’t marginal, either. The drop ranges from 30 percent for burglary to nearly 65 percent for motor theft in the last two decades. It’s impossible for me to marginalize crime statistics as sig-

nificant as these; it may appear I am attempting to marginalize the massacres we have experienced recently. In a certain light, I am. While it would probably be a bad idea to leave me alone in a room with the Boston bombers or the Newtown shooter (if all were still alive), objectively, we need to realize that while things appear to be getting worse, they are actually getting better. Even if you draw the timeline back a few centuries, on average, crime rates have always been on the decline and societies have continually improved. Renowned Harvard psychologist, Steven Pinker, said in a Ted Talk you can find online, “In fact, our ancestors were far more violent than we are. Violence has been in decline for long stretches of time, and that today, we are probably living in the most peaceful time in our species’ history.” With the advent of modern communication, dramatized reporting and easy access to traumatizing and gory digital media from around the world, it’s easy to see how the nasty gets emblazoned into the brains of the common and are therefore none the wiser to the increased number of people dying of old age and happiness. Dramatization of media has

even worked its way into the political realm. It has facilitated the cry of the people to be loud enough that now, of all times, our government needs to introduce weapon control laws. This isn’t an argument about whether weapon laws will be good, bad or moot. This is an argument about how easy it is for the advent of easy access, instant communication and media drama to suade the people (and thus the government), regardless of the actual statistics and state of society. Of course, so long as there is murder, violent crime and the like, we should make every effort as a society to prevent it, even if it’s at an all-time low. That’s different than allowing the media and the public to lead you to believe your safety is in jeopardy. Only a few minutes after every massacre, news networks scrolled fear mongering lines such as, “How safe are your children?” and, “Are terrorists taking over America?” The answer to these questions are, “As safe as they have ever been,” and, “I’m more afraid of spiders.”

Entertainment

Films fail to match books’ grandeur Movie studios borrow plots, rarely satisfy

ext week, “The Great Gatsby” comes out in theaters. This movie is a remake of an older movie that is based on the classic book. Going off the preview, it looks like the main point of this movie will be to impress the audience with Gatsby’s over-the-top parties and not the actual plot of the book. As a self-admitted bookworm, I think making any book into a movie is risky business, especially classic books such as “The Great Gatsby.” I don’t think I will ever be completely happy with seeing a movie based on a book. I usually try to read the book first and am always disappointed. I think it is because I get way more attached to characters in the book. It takes me longer to get through the book than to see the movie, and I don’t think the movie ever does the characters the justice that they deserve. Sometimes the character in the book that I have an image of in my head is not General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

By Hannah.Dankbar @iowastatedaily.com the same person portrayed on the big screen, and that is where my disappointment begins. Unless the movie matches the world I have created in my mind, I will not be satisfied. It’s not that all movies based on books are completely horrible and not worth seeing (for example: “Water For Elephants” wasn’t too bad of a movie). It’s that this type of movie is very hard to “do right.” They cater to a specific audience (people who love to read and students who don’t want to read the book), and it’s hard to fit everything in. By nature, these people (the people who like to read anyway) are going to be disappointed, because no matter how hard Hollywood tries, they will never be able to top the worlds bookworms can create in their heads.

and bigger productions. It seems every movie has a sequel now, and too frequently, they are making more movies than there are books in the series. This is unnecessary. Everybody should know the ending, and if the company has the money to make a long movie, they should. Splitting up the “Harry Potter” and “Twilight” books into more movies seemed unnecessary to me. In the last installment of each series, it seemed Hollywood was trying to show off all their fancy special effects. It seemed they were saying, “We recreated one of your favorite stories given to us by one of your favorite authors; now let us show you what we can do.” It’s obnoxious. Aren’t there writers in Hollywood who can come up with some original ideas? I will go see “The Great Gatsby” because it is one of my favorite books. I have read it more than a few times, and I am sure I will pick it up a few more times in the future. I hope this movie is done well and not all about Hollywood trying to impress me.

Ames’ own worship band, Anthem, will play a free show at Cornerstone Church on May 3 to hopefully more than 1,500 attendees. Anthem originally started in 2002 as a worshipping event at Cornerstone Church. Through time, Anthem became a group of songwriters and musicians to write songs for today’s worshippers. Anthem has been a band of the Cornerstone Church since its birth and as well as the band’s home; the band’s goal stays the same through time: to spread the word and message of Jesus Christ and glorify

God. The band said this message has kept well despite the many line up changes the group has faced. “Anthem itself is to twofold. One aspect of Anthem is the event which we hold once a semester, and the other is the songwriting component where we write, produce and record our own music,” said singer and guitarist Jesse Antelman. Antelman said the goal of the group is to affect the next generation to love, follow and worship the one, true God. “Our music is a declaration of what we believe and a cry to God to work in and through us. We aim to edify the local church with original music and are vitally involved in the life of Cornerstone Church of Ames which includes The Salt Company which is the College Ministry of Cornerstone. “Being apart of a local church

has allowed us to invest into musicians who are in our ministries and when someone has to leave because of work or other reasons, we are able to pull up the next guy who has been raised up,” Antelman said. The band has seen multiple line up changes due to members leaving for jobs as well as the band’s home church planted a new church in Iowa City called Veritas Church. This led to four members of the band leaving to help with that church. “God was faithful to bring even more talented musicians and songwriters into Anthem after the members who left for Veritas left,” Antelman said. Being part of Ames, Anthem said it feels that the group does not face competition with the many acts throughout the music scene. Instead it aims to getting their mu-

sic and message out. Anthem remains true to its hometown of Ames, but has also played for other events in Des Moines, Kansas, Omaha and Minnesota and even opening up for other Christian acts such as Phil Wickham and Shane & Shane. “At our core, Anthem is all about worshipping God. We are not trying to do something completely out of the box or super distinct. Our goal is to aid people in their pursuit of worshipping God with all they are,” Antelman said. “This means writing songs that, while relevant and original, are able to be used in a corporate setting where people are able to connect and engage as they sing with us.” Fans of Anthem or those who would like to attend can see it for free from 8 to 10 p.m. May 3 at Cornerstone Church.

Technology

Eduroam gives new way to connect internationally By Levi.Castle @iowastatedaily.com Students who love being connected, but dislike connecting to multiple access points, can now rejoice. In a collaboration between Information Technology Services and a worldwide connectivity company, students and faculty can be connected to Iowa State’s servers — no matter where they are. Eduroam, or “education roaming,” is a “secure, worldwide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community,” according to IT Services’ “Connect to Eduroam” page.

With approximately 100 supported locations in the United States and thousands more in Europe, a student visiting another campus would have the connectivity of home. After signing in via the instructions on the webpage, the device used will connect to Eduroam whenever it is detected. Once connected and in a supported location, users have a secured connection that should span the entirety of the supported region. Because logging in requires a Net-ID and the NetID password and logging in once will grant access wherever in the world Eduroam is

supported, users who travel abroad no longer need to find the passwords to local Wi-Fi networks. Just as an ISU student or staff member can log in anywhere in the world, any member of a different participating school can log in to Iowa State’s Eduroam with their credentials. It is a twoway street for all travelling Eduroam users. Brenda Kutz, academic adviser at Iowa State, set up her Eduroam connection prior to leaving the country for Scotland. Because her device was already connected to the global network, when she arrived at the University of Edinburgh she was imme-

diately able to bypass all connectivity steps. Kutz’s international wireless experience was unaltered in spite of her hotel’s local connectivity issues. “I thought it worked very well. I was able to connect even before I checked in at the hotel and was able to connect when the hotel had server issues and during the day while on campus,” she said. Eduroam resulted from

the efforts of Internet2, a global education service group, which is also the provider of Iowa State’s new CyBox cloud storage service. Shelton Waggener, senior vice president of Internet2, said Eduroam expands on an idea that was first only available in Europe but now serves universities worldwide. “It is a huge benefit for students and faculty visiting other institutions,” he said.

TV: ‘Go On’

Game: Oculus Rift

Movie: ‘Big Wedding’

By Maia Zewert

By Devin Pacini

By Carly Van Zomeren

Hello, my name is Maia Zewert, and I am a “Friends” fanatic. There’s one friend I’ve been rooting for above others: Matthew Perry. I fell in love with Chandler and Perry is a great actor. “Go On” was love at first punch line. Perry plays Ryan King, a sports talk show host trying to overcome his grief over his wife’s death. King’s boss forces him to attend therapy sessions before allowing King to work again. The show has a fantastic case; I wish they would utilize everyone more. I hope to see it move past the group setting. Some of the best plotlines have come from other people hanging out. When Anne and King team up, I silently cheer, especially when they bring back a friend. Maybe Matt LeBlanc can break from “Episodes” to reunite the bromance of Chandler and Joey?

The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality headset being developed. The development kits are out, and I got to try one out. I was unsure what to expect. Lots of different virtual reality headsets have been made over the years, and they all end up not working well or not working. My first experience was with “Slender: The Awakening.” The game isn’t made for the Oculus Rift but you can get it running. It was more immersive than a monitor, but the resolution wasn’t the best. The game was great, but I had to stop because my eyes felt strained. Next, I tried an Oculus-ready game, “Team Fortress 2.” I had an advantage looking around myself without moving my gun’s aim. I’m excited about the Oculus Rift. It’ll have a better display resolution and the list of Oculusready games will be longer.

Just looking at the cast, I knew it would be a winner. It was full of favorites for everyone. Being a little bias, due to currently planning my own wedding, I really enjoyed this movie. It was everything: funny, witty, interesting, a little action and a good date movie. This movie is about a wedding, but the dynamic is pure wit. This modern family tries to make it through a chaotic weekend of drama and dysfunctional family relationships. The cast includes big-names like Robert DeNiro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton and Robin Williams. This romantic comedy was a hit. The actors fit their roles so well, I’d think they were typecasted. Even if they were, this film kept my attention with the witty and yet, a little raunchy humor throughout, and that alone makes a movie so much more enjoyable to sit through.

What to wear: ISU graduation regalia

Tassel color, gown design, decoration vary depending on student’s program By Saige.Heyer @iowastatedaily.com

Graduation is just around the corner and graduating students are preparing to get their caps, gowns and tassels. Some students will also be getting distinction cords or honors medallions. Here is a look at what this year’s graduates will be wearing.

Bachelor’s Degree

Students receiving their bachelor’s degree wear black robes with pointed sleeves. The tassels on their caps vary in color depending on the college from which they graduate.

■■ Agriculture and Life Sciences: Maize ■■ Business: Drab ■■ Design: Brown

■■ Engineering: Orange ■■ Human Sciences: Maroon ■■ Liberal Arts and Sciences – Bachelor of Arts or Liberal Sciences: White ■■ Liberal Arts and Sciences – Bachelor of Music: Pink ■■ Liberal Arts and Sciences – Bachelor of Science: Golden yellow ■■ Veterinary Medicine: Gray

The College of Veterinary Medicine also holds a white coat ceremony for new veterinary medicine student. This is in August at Stephens Auditorium. This ceremony shows the importance of entering the program. Students arrive in professional attire and can be coated by either a veterinarian of their choice or a faculty member.

With Distinction and Honors Program

If a student is graduating with distinction, he or she will receive either cardinal or gold cords, or both, according to his or her distinction.

150 Welch Avenue Ames • ames@copyworks.com • 515.292.3630

■■ Summa Cum Laude (cumulative GPA of 3.9-plus): Cardinal and Gold ■■ Magna Cum Laude (cumulative GPA of 3.70-3.89): Gold ■■ Cum Laude (cumulative GPA of 3.5-3.69): Cardinal

Students graduation from the Honors Program receive a medallion. On the front of the medallion is an ‘H’ and it says “Iowa State University Honors Program.” The back of the medallion says “In Recognition of Outstanding Scholastic Achievement and Excellence.”

Master’s Degree and Doctor of Philosophy

Those receiving their master’s degree or doctorate wear black tassels. They may also be awarded for Teaching or Research Excellence and receive cardinal and gold cords for this. In May 2008, Iowa State adopted their own custom gowns and hoods for those receiving their doctorate. Only these students wear hoods, which are dark blue on the outside and cardinal and gold on the inside. The gowns also have emblems on the front depicting the Campanile.

Fun Facts Most teddy bears are manufactured with a neutral expression on their face so that children can project their own emotions onto the creatures. “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Francis Scott Key was originally a poem titled “The Defense of Fort McHenry.” James Dolan, CEO of Cablevision and owner of the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers, also fronts the blues band JD and the Straight Shot. Morse Code was made for letters, not numbers. In fact, signaling the number “one” requires five dots and dashes. C-3PO and R2-D2 visited Sesame Street in 1980. They played games, sang songs, and R2-D2 fell in love with a fire hydrant. To the Kikuyu tribe of central Kenya, the number 10 is considered bad luck. In fact, “10” is so feared that no one speaks it aloud; they just skip that number when counting anything—especially people, since it’s thought to be particularly bad luck to count humans. At launch, around 300,000 gallons of water was released beneath the Space Shuttle’s engines as a noise suppressant. In Mobile, Alabama, they ring in the new year by dropping a giant MoonPie.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black Today’s Birthday (05.02.13) Between now and June 25, a barrier dissolves and ushers in new career opportunities. After that, community, home and family responsibilities busy you for the rest of the year. Teamwork magnifies efforts. Education and networking for positive impact inspires. Balance work with abundant play. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 9 -- Consider the money, but don’t get stopped by lack of it.

It’s not a good time to travel yet, but you’re lucky now. Handle that main obligation first. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is a 9 -- Stick to practical issues, especially if controversy arises. Gather information for an expanding project, and include important details. Make minor repairs. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 9 -- Take on more work this week. You gain in popularity.
