News:
Fett pleads not guilty to charge of bike theft Collin Fett, senior in kinesiology and health, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of stealing 40 bicycles from Iowa State’s campus and selling them on Craigslist. Fett was charged with second-degree theft after Iowa State’s Department of Public Safety conducted an investigation and found 40 stolen bikes at his home.
On July 9, Fett pleaded not guilty. “Theft is a charge that, by level, is based on value,” said Stephen Holmes, Story County attorney. “Fett is accused of stealing property which is greater than $1,000 in value. Theft is a statute that you can aggregate offenses.” Back in May, ISU Police had received a total of 16 stolen bicycle reports. An investigation began, and five listings of bicycles were found on Craigslist. Some of these bicycles matched the descriptions of those stolen from Iowa State’s campus.

One-on-one with Soren Prell By Aimee.Burch @iowastatedaily.com ISU professor Soren Prell was present for one of the biggest announcements of the century. He presented his findings at the conference where scientists announced recent findings concerning the Higgs boson particle. Prell talked about this momentous occasion with the Daily.
How did you get to go to the conference? What was it like to be there during this momentous occasion? [laughter] I presented results there for one of my experiments. And the other one of my two experiments was one of the two experiments that announced the discovery of a new particle in the search for the Higgs boson. It was when the conference started on July 4, and that was also when they had the famous press conference at CERN. And it was streamed into the auditorium there

in Melbourne, [Australia]. So after we had registered there — I think there were some 700 plus people there or so — it was pretty exciting because we didn’t know exactly what would be presented. ... There was a little bit of a hint that there would be something but not enough to say conclusively, and so we were all hoping that this wouldn’t go away as a statistical fluctuation but rather be more substantial. And indeed this was exactly what happened. I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to look a little bit into the media at what has been said, and this is quite a big thing because people have been waiting for this for more or less 40 years to happen. I’ve not been involved that long in high energy
physics, but some people there in the auditorium were — even the person who this particle was named after, [Peter Higgs,] was there, so he was quite excited as well.
What was the atmosphere like after the news conference was over? Were a lot of people jumping up and down? The organizers had a welcome reception, so we had a glass of champagne, and we were discussing things. But the results... I mean, sometimes the results are not that convincing. There’s a lot of discussion if there could be a different interpretation of the of the data. But this, I think that the results spoke for themselves. There’s clearly something there. ... But we do not yet [know] whether it is indeed the Higgs boson. One person in this talk said it could be an impostor. It looks like the Higgs boson, [laughter] but it may not be the Higgs boson.
Above the rest because we’re the best.

Find heaven in the fields of Eastern Iowa By Frances.Myers @iowastatedaily.com “If you build it… they will come.” “’Is this heaven?” “No, it’s Iowa.” If there is one movie that has made Iowa famous, it’s “Field of Dreams.” This movie was filmed right here in Iowa, in a field in Dyersville, to be exact. Due in large part to the film starring Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones, Iowa has been put on the map especially when referred to as heaven or in regards to baseball. For this week’s road trip, the Daily explored Dyersville and its attractions. We
checked out the Field of Dreams, the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier as well as the food from Country Junction Restaurant. Driving down the main drag in Dyersville, it’s hard to miss the towering steeples of the St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church. Walking through the doors, a visitor would see the 64 stained glass windows and transoms, 10 of which contain the pictures of the life of Christ and his saints with the rest made up of geometrical designs. With walls and ceilings the inside is a sight to see full of religion and history. A few minutes out of town is the esteemed “Field of Dreams” movie site, the very field surrounded by cornfields with the white house nearby. Between the field and the house is a small shop
where visitors can buy souvenirs and pick up pamphlets. Currently the field is under contract to be sold, according to its website, but is not anticipated to change ownership until the fall of 2012. According to the official movie site’s website: “Once the field has actually been sold, everything will remain the same with little or no interruption to our tourists and daily schedule. The actual movie site is not in any way being altered. Quite the contrary: It will be preserved for generations to come.” On our way out of town, we stopped by the Country Junction Restaurant, a family-style restaurant with a barn-like structure. With a table full of bread, chicken pot pie and chicken fried steak, it was hard to find complaint within the group.

>>DEVELOPMENT.p6 Other new businesses are Kohls, T.J. Maxx, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Aspen Dental. Also, some Ames businesses are expanding. “Theisen’s out on Dayton [Avenue] is expanding, and then we’ve got some other companies that are expanding, too,” Culhane said. “United Supplier is going to be moving their corporate headquarters here to Ames from Eldora, Iowa. A company out of Mountain View, Calif., Solum Technology, is opening an operation here in Ames and is opening 25 to 40 pretty significant employment opportunities.” Culhane also said the renovations being performed on North Grand Mall is encouraging as well. “North Grand Mall has a long history in this community and has some wonderful tenants in the mall but is in need of real revitalization,” Culhane said. “Fortunately, we’re seeing some of that now with the T.J.Maxx store and Kohls store under construction.” Part of Culhane’s job in the Chamber of Commerce is working to bring new businesses to Ames, implementing new plans and looking at businesses that will bring meaningful employment opportunities to Ames. “Under the Chamber of Commerce fall several affiliate organizations,” Culhane said. “The Ames Economic Development Commission, the Main Street Cultural District, Campustown Action Association and then the Ames Seed Capital Fund. Our role here is to call on companies, retailers, restaurants, industries of all kinds to talk to them about the attributes of being in Ames.” Culhane said the amount of economic development occurring in Ames is very encouraging. He believes the new intermodal facility will help generate a lot of new business, espe-

cially in Campustown. “The intermodal facility in Campustown, we think, is going to be a huge, huge benefit to Campustown,” Culhane said. “Campustown is a unique shopping district yet it has room for additional shopping opportunities and food opportunities, things of that nature. We think with the opening of the intermodal facility, that will generate more interest in that part of the community. You look around the rest of the community, you have Deery Brothers planning to break ground on a new car dealership this fall and Theisen’s is expanding; Wilson ToyotaScion is expanding right now.” Culhane said the level of construction in Ames currently, is a good sign of the times ahead. “There is an enormous amount of construction going on within the community,” Culhane said. “And if you look at the rest of Iowa or ... the Midwest, you won’t see that level of investment right now. You will in some pockets, but we’ve got almost three-quarters of $1 billion in construction going on right here in Ames, which is pretty significant for a market this size. “ Culhane said Ames is a very attractive spot for businesses, due largely in part to the university. “It starts with Iowa State,” Culhane said. “Ames is a highly vibrant place, and the driver is Iowa State. A lot of towns are deemed company towns. You get Milwaukee — they say Milwaukee is a beer town. You go to Forest City, Iowa, and you’d see Winnebago Industries is there. Well if we’re a company town, our company is Iowa State. We’ve got a lot of really cool, vibrant private sector companies here, too, but the real driver of the Ames economy is Iowa State. “The university is a driver not only of the vibrancy of the community; it’s also a driver of the human resource side that is so important to helping those businesses grow and survive.”

Editorial
‘Study drugs’ give unfair advantage Like steroids for students, Adderall cheats academics Pressure. “Pressure” is one word that singlehandedly unites college students from all walks of university life. All students have felt it, whether from their parents and peers or within their major. There is pressure to keep up, to slow down, to stay focused, to stay current and, most of all, to succeed. This push for excellence has brought many to their breaking point. Everything students once achieved in high school all of a sudden just isn’t good enough anymore, and the pressure to do something about it can be overwhelming. Finding themselves in this situation, many students believe they’ve found a way to push their excellence to its limit using one, or sometimes two, pea-sized pills that send their mind into a utopia of concentration. Out of all this pressure a new “study drug” is born, and its name is Adderall. Adderall is a combination of two drugs, dextroamphetamine and amphetamine, and is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivy disorder, more commonly known as ADHD. Those who struggle with ADHD have trouble focusing and holding attention Editorial Board

Therefore, those students who do not in fact have ADHD, but still take Adderall to get that extra push of focus to help them academically, should be considered cheating when they pop that pill. Like steroids are illegal for athletes to help increase their performance levels, Adderall should be considered a method of cheating when it comes to performance in the classroom, especially at the college level. Many ISU students have this nasty cheating habit. Some use it daily and some only when large tests or Finals Week arrive, but most have the same reasons for wrongly boosting their brain power. One student said: “It motivates me to study longer and be more focused, and [it] makes other activities feel

uninteresting, like Facebook and Twitter. I feel like it makes me zone in on whatever I’m doing.” Another argued it allows them to retain the information they study better: “I’m able to read through an entire textbook in one sitting and remember every word I read.” Although taking Adderall as a study drug has its benefits when it comes to test time, it administers some scary, health endangering side effects while being used. Studies show symptoms of Adderall include suppressed appetite, dehydration, sleeplessness and rapid
mood swings. Students who have taken the drug attest to such side effects while on the pill. “I have spent a 14-hour day in the library before with nothing but a water bottle and a sleeve of saltine crackers. Some people forget to eat because they are so focused.” Even too much focus can make one lose focus. Another using student explained: “One morning I was waiting for the Adderall to kick in, and I realized I had been brushing my teeth for 10 minutes. It’s powerful stuff.” If it’s not the unnatural side effects that make students more cautious about using Adderall, it should be their conscience. Taking this pill to academically advance your performance is the same as copying someone else’s work during a
test to get ahead. According to university guidelines, any kind of academic misconduct is punishable by earning a failing grade in a class, receiving community service, and even being expelled from the university. If classes are proving themselves challenging, take more time to study using your nondrug-induced brain. If you’re feeling like there’s not enough time in your day to get everything done, then close out of Facebook and learn better time-management skills. It’s not worth ingesting chemicals through your body just to turn into a mood-swinging, cheating zombie. Get up, get motivated and study with what you have, because cheating is never the right way to excel academically, especially when you have to abuse drugs to do it.

RAGBRAI
rides across another year
File photo: Manfred Brugger/Iowa State Daily Riders dip their tires in the Mississippi River at the end of the 2010 RAGBRAI in Dubuque. Each year’s trip starts in a Missouri River town on Iowa’s western border and ends at the Mississippi on the opposite side of the state.
By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com “Banana on!” Not your normal term that a you might hear from a cyclist on RAGBRAI. However, when you work instead of ride the Register’s Great Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa — RAGBRAI for short, much shorter — you hear some of these quirky stories. Trevor Mannella, junior in economics at Iowa State, works as a serviceman on RAGBRAI for his local bike shop. And each year, Mannella comes home with interesting and memorable moments.
“The most memorable was at one of the towns we were stationed at,” Mannella said. “A guy had come in with his wife — and we usually try to talk to them — but he was all the way from New Zealand.” Mannella said seeing the people who come from all over the state, nation and world are what really makes RAGBRAI a memorable experience. “It gave me a good perspective on how big, how popular RAGBRAI is,” Mannella said. And RAGBRAI is all about the perspective. Being a serviceman along the trek is only half of it. There have to be cyclists to give the repairmen the
work. One cyclist who has endured RAGBRAI for five years, coming up on his sixth, is Bruce Babcock, professor of agricultural economics at Iowa State. Babcock said he, too, has had those memorable trips where it seemed like the day would never end. He said the memories that really stick out the most to him are the days when the ride is the hardest. “We were riding into Spencer, and it was an 83 mile day,” Babcock said. “It was just blaring hot, and it was really nice to get to the end. It was a
flat, hot day, and it was one of my first RAGBRAIs.” Babcock went on to explain he probably wasn’t as experienced as some of the other riders and underestimated the heat and mileage it took to complete a day like what he encountered. For most, the thrill of finishing the seven-day excursion across the state of Iowa would be enough to keep riders coming back for more each year. But for Babcock, his outlook is a little different each year. “Seeing the small towns where the students come from
and seeing the small towns where agriculture really happens, it’s really interesting,” Babcock said. “It then helps me be a better agricultural economist and agricultural professor as I know more about the state of Iowa.” Babcock said he has been doing the trip for only five years and can’t imagine what it would be like if he had been doing RAGBRAI for 20 years, and he is excited for what he will learn in the years to come. For Babcock, it’s the small town feel and economies that bring him back each year. For Mannella, he said what

brings him back each year — besides his job — is expo day. “Expo day is where a lot of the representatives will come out, and they’ll have all the bikes you can test ride,” Mannella said. “So I’ll take a half hour or hour off and walk around and test ride some of the expensive bikes.” Mannella said it’s tough being a repairman sometimes and looks forward to the end of the week some of the time. But he also said it is nice to feel needed and respected on the

one of the largest organized bike rides in the country. “You’re really needed and people really appreciate what you do,” Mannella said. “A lot of people understand you’re out there every day of the week just repairing bikes nonstop. The coolest part is the appreciation you get from the riders.” Mannella and Babcock both shared their everlasting moments that will always stand out in their minds. And each had their own way of remembering
what makes RAGBRAI so prominent. “RAGBRAI is just a bunch of moments strung together, because every day, you’re going to get something you’re going to remember,” Mannella said. “Like a guy rolling by pulling a giant stereo-system ... or you’ve got guys who ride tandem bicycles who put a giant banana around it.” “You’ve always got those crazy people who you’re going to remember. It’s the different people who go on RAGBRAI that make it interesting.”
The facts on RAGBRAI Major magazines such as Time, Reader’s Digest, Sports Illustrated, Ford Times, Smithsonian, Saturday Evening Post, National Geographic’s Traveler, Shape, Bicycling and many others have covered RAGBRAI. The ride has become so popular RAGBRAI officials now limit the number of weeklong riders to 8,500 in order to maintain a sense of control and ensure fewer injuries. Since its inception, more than 275,650 people have ridden at least some part of the 40 RAGBRAIs. Nearly every corner of Iowa has been touched by the 16,907 total miles covered by RAGBRAI since 1973. In 40 years, RAGBRAI has passed through 780 Iowa towns, spent the night in 125 different overnight towns and, after the 25th ride in 1997, has gone through all of Iowa’s 99 counties. RAGBRAI has been through 80 percent of Iowa’s incorporated towns. All information is courtesy of RAGBRAI.com.

Sorting through ashes after a fire
Photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily Tenants of 301 S. Fifth St., one of the South Meadow Apartments, move their belongings out on to the streets on July 16, the day following a fire that caused significant fire and water damage to the building. Friends and family of some of the residents were also there to help tenants move.
South Meadow residents recall morning of the fire, begin picking up the pieces By Frances.Myers @iowastatedaily.com At first he did not believe there was actually anything wrong. It was a quarter after 6 a.m. at the South Meadow Apartments, and Satya Mohan Vamsi Andalam was asleep with his wife when they heard a knocking at the door. “This guy was in a panic and was saying there was smoke,” said Andalam, graduate in electrical and computer engineering. “We didn’t think there was actually anything wrong. We thought maybe someone had burned something while making some food. There were no smoke alarms
We came outside and ... as we got closer to where the fire was, I remember just thinking, ‘Oh my God.’” Satya Andalam so we didn’t really think anything of it.” Andalam and his wife grabbed only their cellphones, leaving everything else, including their documents and passports from India. “We came outside and saw that there was actually fire at the farther side,” Andalam said. “As we got closer to where the fire was, I remember just thinking, ‘Oh my God.’ It looked like it was a small fire, though, so we thought surely the firefighters would get it out soon. We just felt guilty that we hadn’t thought to grab our documents.” As the hour progressed, the fire progressed as well, even more quickly than before. This was due to the lack of firestops, said Fire Captain
Richard Higgins. According to the National Insulation Association, firestops “are products specifically designed to stop smoke, toxic fumes, superheated gases and fire from migrating from one room to another or from one floor to another. Firestops are used to restore the entire structure, via each individually penetrated partition, to its original fire-rated integrity.” Higgins said the fire was able to spread more quickly through the building than it normally would have because of the lack of firestops. “The fire started down below in the parking garage underneath,” Higgins said. “There are no doors on the garage, so the fire came out of the garage and worked up the vinyl siding and got into the overhang of the roof. Once it got up into the attic, the attic doesn’t have what is called a firestop or actually a draft stop. So there’s no drywall or anything to keep it [from] running the distance of the attic around all three sections of
the building. So what we try and do is we try and get ahead of where the fire is at. With there being no fire stops in there, that made it difficult for us to stop that fire itself.” Approximately 38 firefighters were at the scene and working to control the fire, Higgins said, which is more than usual. “We got as many firefighters there as we could,” Higgins said. “That’s not typical for a fire to have that many. It was a large fire so we had as many people back there working.” While many residents discovered their belongings were completely destroyed, Andalam and his wife, who lived in an apartment on the upper floor near where the fire created the most damage, were fortunate to find their documents were salvageable. “We kept our documents in our closet near the top,” Andalam said. “Fortunately, only the

But the important things were OK. So we were really happy.” In the days since the fire, Andalam and his wife have been staying with friends. “The emotional support from friends has helped a lot,” Andalam said. “Now I’ll be looking to finish up my thesis for my Ph.D. My laptop is destroyed so I’ll be trying to get back my work. I’ll also be looking for a job. I’m sure I can get a job, especially since I have my documents.”

Who could it be?
Answer: Giorgio de Chirico
This surrealist painted The Red Tower, in which the scene visible from between two buildings shows a partly visible equestrian statue, in addition to Gare Montparnasse (The Melancholy of Departure).
This figure once eluded the amorous affections of a river god by using white mud to hide her own face. During the conniving uprising of Otus and Ephialtes she killed Gration, but during Typhon’s revolt she fled from her
7/20/12
home in the form of a cat. In another episode, the Cyclopes Brontes tries to rape her, which led her to rip a handful of hair from his chest. She ruthlessly tried to kill the mother of Arcas, but Zeus intervened and placed Callisto among the stars. Ovid
Three college professors were driving down the highway at a very slow speed. A policeman pulled them over and explained that driving so slowly on the highway could be hazardous. The driver pointed out the sign that read “20.” He explained that he was going 20 mph because of the sign. The policeman pointed out that the sign indicated they were driving on Highway 20. Somewhat embarrassed the professor apologized and promised to be more observant. As the policeman turn to walk back to his car, he noticed the other two professors on the floor ...looking scared to death!
