Burning Man Festival challenges art students

By Katherine Klingseis Daily Staff Writer A ticket for the Burning Man Festival reads, “You voluntarily assume the risk of serious injury or death by attending, and release Burning Man Festival from any claim arising from this risk.”

Even with that warning, 50,000 people travel to the middle of the desert to attend the 7-day event.

This summer, 12 ISU students will be traveling to the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada to attend.

The Burning Man Festival is an annual event that begins the week before, and ends on, Labor Day. The event is a mixture of studio and performing arts.

The festival attendees make an entire town in 7 days, and when the festival ends, they destroy the town and leave no remains. The whole event is about giving away one’s artwork or destroying it completely.

The students are in Samantha Krukowski’s, professor of architecture, summer class Shifting Sands: Transient Architecture in the Desert.

“I give them a tabula rasa, a blank slate,” Krukowski said.

“I’m asking them to dig deep into their own interests.”

Krukowski has been to the Burning Man Festival two times.

Although she just became a professor at Iowa State in January,

the College of Design allowed her to begin a class that will eventually go to the event.

“It’s the first time design students will be going to [the Burning Man Festival],” Krukowski said. “It’s amazing.”

All of the students are working on projects to take to the festival. Neena Hayreh, nondegree graduate from Drake, is currently working on a quilt.

“All materials have been found or donated,” Hayreh said.

“Even though I am the one making the quilt, it’s more of a collective effort.”

Elizabeth Kief, junior in architecture, is creating a pair of 10-foot towers with a door separating the two. Hannah Fischer, fifth year architecture, works nearby on an 8-foot pyramid.

At the event, Megen O’Toole, fifth year architecture, will be collecting things. Although it took her a while to figure out what she wanted to do for her project, O’Toole is now very excited for it.

“My project is about how you collect things that aren’t tangible,” O’Toole said. “It’s going to be an active participatory experience.”

Etienne Blanc, senior in integrated studio arts, is creating a restaurant. Blanc believes the most important thing about a meal is the people who are at it, not the setting or the food.

Because of this belief, Blanc has

painted everything white.

“I really want to focus on the social aspect of the meal,” Blanc said. “I want to see if anyone writes or draws on [the tables].”

Emily Broderson, graduate student in landscape architecture, and Evan Duyvejonck, senior in architecture, are creating a project that will look like a weeping willow tree. Broderson is welding steel trees while Duyvejonck works on hanging ropes.

“We got a lot of inspiration from nature,” Broderson said.

“We asked for a quieter, darker place at the festival.”

Cristian Reyes-Pintor, senior in dairy science, and Casey Alexander, non-degree seeking in design specials, are also working on peaceful, quiet projects.

Reyes-Pintor is working on building a structure with multiple hammocks hanging from it. Alexander’s idea is to build a structure people can lay on the sand and looking up at the sky.

“It’s a place to get away from the craziness,” Alexander said. “I think it’s about a personal journey as much as it is about going crazy.”

Tracy Bear, junior in integrated studio arts is focusing on the freedom the event offers to its participants. Bear is creating animal masks for participants to wear.

Organizations

4-H youth join College of Human Sciences

By Abigail Barefoot Daily Staff Writer The ISU Extension 4-H youth program is joining the College of Human Sciences.

The arrival of Nancy Franz as the new associate dean for ISU Extension and Outreach for Families and 4-H Youth has lead ISU Extension 4-H Youth Development to formally join the College of Human Sciences.

Franz will serve 4-H as an academic matchmaker, which means she will originate partnerships with people and programs within the college as well as across the campus.

While the idea of officially joining the College of Human Sciences happened before Franz was hired in May, she said that in the past 4-H worked closely with consumer and family sciences, and this joining is “going back to their roots.”

What this means for 4-H and the college With 4-H a part of the College of Human Sciences, the youth program has increased access to research, program evaluation and outcome assessment, which allows for better documentation of both the quality of 4-H programs and the impact 4-H activities have on youth and communities, Franz said in a news release.

Franz has five goals for the merger of 4-H and the College

KCI

of Human sciences.

The first is recruitment, for both parties, through volunteering Franz and students activities.

“4-H also connects ISU students and alumni to volunteer and career opportunities. And Iowa 4-H’ers are potential [ISU] students,” Franz said.

The second is to create better programs for education on both sides to help the College of Human Science teach and to reach members in 4-H. The third goal is to create better professional training for the leaders of 4-H and for the faculty and students in the college. This training will allow both programs to create the next generation of leaders.

Franz’ fourth goal is to develop research. 4-H can see if programs are working, or how they could improve them, while the college can use 4-H programs for experiments.

“Having 4-H be part of the college connects 4-H staff and volunteers more directly to Iowa State’s research base. [ISU] students, faculty and staff are potential collaborators who can help develop the educational resources that are key to 4-H hands-on learning experiences,” Franz said.

Finally, collaboration between the two parties would allow alumni of 4-H who go on to Iowa State, and the ISU alumni who move on, to become leaders in 4-H to better connect.

About the Iowa 4-H Youth Development Program Iowa State is a “Land-grant University” which was the prod-

uct of Hatch Act of 1887. This act established the foundation for experiment stations for discovering agricultural knowledge.

This allowed for the development of 4-H. 4-H is the nation’s largest youth development organization, serving more than 6 million young people across America with programs in leadership, citizenship, communication and life skills.

In 4-H youth learn skills by doing projects designed to fit their needs at different ages.

In Iowa, 4-H Youth Development is headquartered on ISU campus. ISU Extension research shows Iowa youth credit their 4-H clubs with making them better citizens, leaders and communicators.

In Iowa, more than 124,000 young people, 24 percent of Iowa youth, are involved in 4-H, with more than 10,000 adult volunteers, according to the 4-H website.

‘Fiske Guide to Colleges 2011’ lists Iowa State as a ‘Best Buy’

Bank employee robbed, two men charged with felony

By Abigail Barefoot Daily Staff Writer

By Abigail Barefoot Daily Staff Writer

ISU students are getting their money’s worth when it comes to education, as Iowa State was recently listed as a “Best Buy” school in the new “Fiske Guide to Colleges 2011.”

Fiske named 45 institutions, 21 public and 24 private, as Best Buys. The Guide shows that price and quality of a university don’t always go together.

Best Buy schools fall into the inexpensive or moderate price category with four- or five-star academic ratings. Institutions are not numerically ranked, but rather assessed based on academic quality, social life and quality of life.

The Fiske Guide is authored by NewYork Times education editor Edward B. Fiske. The guide features more than 330 of the “best and most interesting” colleges and universities in the United States, Canada and Great Britain.

“Love for Iowa State runs as deep as its Midwestern roots,” according to the guide. “Strong programs in engineering, business and agriculture attract students from around the globe ... these days, though, the liberal arts are just as popular, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the largest of [Iowa State’s] seven colleges.”

Other observations about Iowa State include: “history and tradition prevail,” and “professors teach most classes”.

Two men have been charged with robbery in the first degree related to the investigation of armed robbery of an employee outside the Exchange State Bank in Ames.

Eugene Barney, 27, and Benjamin Sanchez Styles, 27, have both been charged with the class B felony of robbery in the first degree.

The robbery occurred at

7:43 a.m. June 30. A female bank employee was approached by a man described as black, approximately 6-foot, 180 pounds, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, sunglasses, blue jeans and tennis shoes.

The suspect showed a handgun and robbed the employee of an undisclosed cash amount before leaving on foot.

The woman was left uninjured.

Police said eyewitness accounts led them to the apart-

ment. After a search warrant was issued for the apartment, Barney and Styles were arrested as felons in possession of firearms.

Police are also looking at the two in connection to other crimes; including a similar attempted robbery in December at the Greater Iowa Credit Union when a man with a handgun met a female bank employee, robbed her and left.

The two men are currently held in the Story County jail.

Technology

Scientists discuss Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

By Abigail Barefoot Daily Staff Writer Eighty scientists from across the United States and other nations will meet July 10-13 at Iowa State to discuss the first ever heavy ion collider located in New York.

The scientists are members of the PHENIX Collaboration, a group of about 450 scientists doing experiments using the PHENIX detector sys-

tem at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York.

The PHENIX Experiment is the largest of the four experiments that have taken data at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

The primary goal of PHENIX is to discover and study a new state of matter that is called the Quark-Gluon Plasma.

Iowa State’s Role As well as hosting the event, Iowa State has several faculty members involved: John Hill, John Lajoie, Craig Ogilvie and Marzia Rosati, all professors of physics and astronomy; and Alexandre Sasha Lebedev, assistant scientist of physics and astronomy.

Iowa State scientists play an important role in PHENIX. The team is responsible for the operation of the Level-1 Trigger, which is a complex

electronic subsystem that allows PHENIX to sort through 10 million collisions per second.

ISU scientists designed and built the trigger a decade ago and now are upgrading the trigger systems.

How the RHIC works The RHIC is the first machine in the world capable of colliding heavy ions, which are atoms which have had their outer cloud of electrons removed.

The RHIC collides two beams of

gold ions head-on when they’re traveling at nearly the speed of light. The beams travel in opposite directions around the RHIC’s 2.4-mile, two-lane “racetrack.” At the six intersections, the lanes cross, leading to an intersection.

When the ions collide at such high speeds at the right conditions the collision “melts” the protons and neutrons and liberates their constituent quarks

Movie Review

Gru and two of his minions from the new film “Despicable Me.” Voices of villains Gru and Vector are portrayed by actors Steve Carell and Jason Segel. Courtesy photo: Universal Studios

Animated villain film reaches all ages Children’s movie ‘Despicable Me’ deals with villains, crime while still finding a way to show humanity, love

W

hen I was a kid, I discovered Mad Magazine’s: “Spy vs. Spy.” I still like it today.

Then came the previews for “Despicable Me.” Despite being targeted to kids, I was interested because it reminded me of those crazy spies.

“Despicable Me” involves the a villain that is competing with another villain to be the best badguy in the business. This is so very “Spy vs. Spy” I couldn’t believe it.

The main villain, Gru, is voiced by Steve Carrell, while his nemesis, Vector, is voiced by Jason Segel. Two very funny actors whose voices lend talent, but weren’t utilized to their fullest for the movie; but it was still fine.

As to the actual content, the film has a solid line-up of over-the-top characters to keep the audience laughing, as well as three of the cutest, spunkiest orphan girls since “Annie,” which the movie happens to reference.

Unfortunately, there are these little yellow minion things that work for Gru. I don’t know what they are. All I can determine is whoever created these things — be it the writers or producers or some other executive — thought they would be cute and help the movie.

They are sorta funny in that classic lackey way, but they could have been people instead and

Gabriel Stoffa is senior in communication studies and political science from Ottumwa

have been a lot better. I assume the yellow things were added to appeal to toddlers. On the plus side, if you watch the movie a second time, they do some funny things in background shots.

Which brings me to my biggest disagreement with the movie: The needless bit of pandering to child audiences.

“Despicable Me” is a fairly dark movie. It is about bad-guys that steal things and want to wreak havoc upon people for their own personal pleasure.

They have no qualms with killing others or destroying property. They are villains. To make Gru more lovable, he has to adopt three little orphan girls in order to succeed with a cockamamie plan to steal a shrink ray from Vector.

I am completely fine with his ludicrous plans akin to Wile E. Coyote’s attempts to capture the roadrunner. I am completely fine with the won-

derfully classic cartoonish results from explosions and blunt-force trauma. I am completely fine with his blossoming adoration for the orphan girls.

What I am not fine with, are the instances where the movie could have kept its dark setting and still been funny and appealing to children — Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies did it for years — but instead became too childish ... nah, I’m only kidding. I just felt odd not having much to complain about.

There really aren’t any logical complaints I can make about this movie. It didn’t really pander, and it is great for all ages.

I have been and always will be a huge fan of the old-school cartoon stylings where violence is portrayed because it can be funny, and doesn’t give in to the attention-grabbing parent groups that want to blame TV instead of themselves.

Many of those groups try so hard to eliminate exposure to violent images for children, that they prevent a great deal of classic creative material from seeing the light of day.

Thankfully, “Despicable Me” made the cut — though I expect there is very much more dark version of the script kicking around on someone’s computer.

“Despicable Me” is a marvelous animated

movie that kicks back to the cartoons from days of yore. There are great references for those with a love for noticing tiny details.

The violence is fun and just dark enough to not become stupid like most current cartoons not on “Adult Swim.”

Best of all, the messages are simple and efficient; worthwhile advancements of characters in an animated film.

This is one of those rare times I would advise anyone and everyone to go out and watch this movie: If you’re an older adult, you’ll remember getting up early for Saturday morning cartoons that weren’t lame like the later “Pokemon” or “Yu-Gi-Oh!” cartoons. If you’re a younger adult, you’ll likely appreciate the light mature references much like those made in “The Muppet Show” and even “Muppet Babies.” And if you’re still young but barely considered adultish, you’ll still love “Despicable Me” and marvel at how cool an older style of cartoons can be — and hopefully gain the interest to look back into some of the older shows mentioned in this article.

This summer you’ve been given an opportunity to get away from the mega-blockbuster franchises to see something stand-alone entertaining.

So, just go see “Despicable Me.”

L

indsay Lohan makes the news again; surprise, surprise, it’s in a negative way. This time, it’s for crying in court when a California judge sentenced her to 90 days in jail. I would feel badly for her if her prior offenses had gotten her a slightly stiffer penalty.

The life of a celebrity is one of perks and perils; sometimes they get off easy, other times the jaws of the public sink deeply into them.

Initially Lohan had received a get out of jail free card. After being convicted of two drunk driving charges and a reckless driving charge, she spent a grand total of 84 minutes in jail, ac-

Jason Ryan Arment is a senior in English from Grimes

cording to the BBC. If you know anyone who has appeared in the police blotter, there’s a good chance you know someone who has spent more time in a jail than 84 minutes. They may have spent more time in transit and being processed.

If I were really famous, would things really be that easy for me? Even going to jail for some serious things isn’t that bad. There’s a chance my stay would be shorter than some movies.

Then again, the other side of the coin for celebrities is their private matters are public, and they get hammered for them.

Tiger Woods had his personal life under a magnifying glass when distasteful things were afoot.

Would I wonder why people cared so much about my personal life?

Would my thoughts be taken seriously, or would I be just another celebrity?

Granted I’d probably be pretty wealthy, but I’m not sure if that wealth makes other celebrities have happy lives. I’d definitely have a bunch of cool stuff like expensive toys and clothes.

In our search for something to occupy our time as a society, we turn to many things. The emphasis of our cultural thought often falls toward sports, celebrities, pornography and material things.

Celebrities are nothing new to humanity, but the intensity of our attachment is stronger than ever. In our need to live out a life of meaning, we vicariously live through others. We

study them in tabloids and on the Internet, there simply isn’t enough access to them to satisfy the public’s hunger.

Lohan’s 84-minute jail stint for serious offenses reflects an inability to separate our thoughts of her being a celebrity from her as a person. Celebrities will start being treated normally when people stop projecting them into their roles as entertainers when they aren’t doing their jobs.

That’s not really fair to them or to us. Placing them above ourselves is a weird way of saying we don’t have enough going on in our own lives to be interesting to ourselves.

Everyone is a journalist. Everyone has power.

That’s something I’ve learned during my stay at the Daily.

Now, I plan to put that power to use. To live my life the way I want it to be lived. To, as corny as it sounds, begin my pursuit of happiness.

But what about you? What are you going to do with your power?

By Tim Reynolds AP Sports Writer

By Jim Litke AP Sports Columnist His long national nightmare is coming to an end, LeBron James will no longer be homeless.

This occurred shortly after 9 p.m. ET Thursday, and more convenient still, on live TV, as part of an hour-long ESPN special.

This much attention for a guy who has yet to win a championship — let alone a game in the finals — is wrong on so many levels that it’s hard to know where to begin.

Thanks to inflation, 15 minutes of fame has become an hour. Even that might have been bearable, if not for the buildup.

“I’m tired of hearing about all that, to be honest with you.

It’s overblown, and we’ve been talking about it for two years,” said New Orleans Hornets coach Monty Williams.

Let’s be clear: James is plenty good. He isn’t the two-time reigning Most Valuable Player by accident. Further, he’s been just about everything you could ask for from the game’s reigning personality — polite, accessible, generous with his time

Dream Team hopes still alive for Miami

online and money — except a winner.

Yet Kobe Bryant, despite being every bit as heralded a prodigy and a five-time champion besides, never kicked up this kind of fuss. But James is determined to draw this out, either because all the adulation still isn’t enough, or more likely because he knows he can’t win it all without help.

Either way, some good is guaranteed to come out of waiting almost two more days, then sitting through 60 minutes of what sounds like an afterschool TV movie about James to find out which it is. The proposal his representatives pitched to ESPN apparently included an offer to bring along their own sponsors — think:

Nike — and then donate the proceeds to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

That just isn’t like LeBron.

He’s been trying so hard to please his various constituencies since he came into the league that you have to wonder whether even James knows what he wants anymore. The one thing he’s consistently said is that winning tops his list of priorities, but for all the ways he’s been selfish, that’s the one topic about which he’s been the least persuasive.

Boozer likely to leave Jazz, join Bulls

By Andrew Seligman AP Sports Writer CHICAGO — A person familiar with the negotiations said former Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer is headed to the Chicago Bulls.

The person said to The Associated Press that the two-time All-Star forward agreed to

a deal Wednesday and is leaving the Utah Jazz after six seasons.

The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the contract doesn’t become official until Thursday, did not reveal the terms.

Boozer becomes the latest chip to fall on a day when Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh confirmed they will play in Miami

next season.

The jewel of this star-studded freeagent class, LeBron James, is still out there waiting.

While everyone awaits his announcement Thursday night, the Bulls at least know they’re not coming away completely empty-handed after having landing Boozer.

DAVIE, Fla. — Dwyane Wade had already decided that if he were to stay with the Miami Heat, he would have either LeBron James or Chris Bosh as a teammate.

He got Bosh.

He might get both.

Ending months of speculation, Wade and Bosh made their decisions official Wednesday, saying their trip through the world of NBA free agency would end in Miami. Wade is staying, Bosh is coming and now they’re waiting — like the rest of the league — to see what LeBron James will do Thursday night when he unveils his plans in a special to be televised on ESPN. “I’m so glad it’s over,” Wade said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I had to do what was best for me. And I know I did that.”

Wade does not know what the terms of the next contract he’ll sign with Miami will be, nor when he’ll sign the paper. Bosh doesn’t have terms of his next deal done either. It’s all contingent on what James says Thursday night, and Wade insisted he knows nothing about what the two-time MVP will say or where he’ll be saying it from.

“I won’t speak to him again until he makes his decision,” Wade said in the AP interview. “And when it’s over, I will congratulate him.

But I will be watching.”

Durant’s extension quells early rumors about free agency

By Murray Evans Associated Press Writer OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant didn’t go for a spectacle in announcing where he’ll be for the next five years.

Instead, Durant simply posted an update Wednesday on his Twitter page that read he’d agreed to a five-year contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Durant can’t sign the deal until Thursday and team spokesman Brian Facchini said he could not confirm the deal under NBA rules.

“Exstension for 5 more years wit the thunder....God Is Great, me and my family came a long way...I love yall man forreal, this

a blessing!” Durant tweeted.

Another post soon followed, presumably about the contract: “First time i cried n a while ...

RIp Chucky, we doin wat we dreamed about..i swear i love all my bros!! yessir!!!” [sic] “Chucky” is one of Durant’s former coaches, Charles Craig, who was shot to death in Maryland in 2005.

The reigning NBA scoring leader is signed with the Thunder through next season under his original rookie contract, which would pay him $5 million next year.

Oklahoma City, a team that is well under the salary cap, could offer Durant more than two times that much, depending on where the cap is set for next season.

Despite the threat of torrential rain Sunday afternoon, The Workshy branded their 80/35 performance a success. They left with optimism and experience, which they hoped would help them find new opportunities.

“I felt really great after the set.

Everything went really well and we pulled it off without a hitch,” said guitarist Danny Kratzer.

The band was happy with their performance, and couldn’t complain of any major technical difficulties.

The guys were surprised by how comfortable they felt onstage and how easy it was to adjust to the new venue: the biggest stage at the festival.

They said they had a good time, for the most part, and learned a lot from the experience; having the opportunity to reach out to a broader, more diverse fan base, as well as treat the fans that followed them there.

“We learned a little bit about how

much production goes [in], because it was the first time we had to deal with stagehands. We’d dealt with sound guys and stuff, but we’d never really been a part of something like that before,” said bassist Jiho Han. Overall, 80/35 offered many smaller bands the opportunity to participate in a major venue and get the exposure they work hard for. Other featured bands with Ames roots were Omega Dog and Christopher and the Conquered.

Music went on practically nonstop during the festival. At least one of the three stages had a performance going the entire weekend, even if the other stages were in-between sets.

The Greater Des Moines Music Coalition put forth effort to be green this summer. There were free 80/35– branded water bottles and refill stations that provided free, reusable hydration for attendees and even provided a complimentary bike valet

Gesture Recognition

New technology impacts dance Vdancer allows the body to be the instrument, sounds represented by computer

By Kaleb Warnock ames247 writer Valerie Williams, workspace instructor and artistic director of Co’Motion Dance Theater, has been experimenting with a new gesture recognition technology called the Vdancer.

“The Vdancer is a small wireless system for measuring motion, rotation and orientation with a triple-axis accelerometer and triple axis gyroscope,” Williams said in an e-mail.

“An on-board computer pro-

cesses the measurements and transmits them via a Bluetooth radio with a range of 10-15 meters.

The Vdancer is fully self contained, with batteries, sensors, computer and radio all fitting within a 2-by3.5-by-0.5-inch packet — approximately credit card sized — that fits comfortably on the inside of the dancer’s arm.”

The Vdancer is a result of a convergence of aspects of the CGI field and synthesized music, which results in such new age genres like biomusic. Biomusic is different because it involves sounds produced

only in a biological way without assistance from technology, but it also embraces the idea of creating music through the movement of the human body.

“The dancers will make a gesture, the software will memorize that gesture, and each time the dancers perform that gesture, the synthesizer plays the sound associated with that gesture. Again, the dancers’ movements initiate sound, but this time, the stimulus goes directly to the synthesizer, which plays the sound associated with that gesture,” Williams said.

It works directly with the synthesizer through Steve Holland’s direct Bluetooth to MIDI, which can play associated sounds that range from percussive and discrete sounds, to as far as manipulating chord progressions.

This is a unique form of musical expression because of the instrument it uses: It is interfaced with the human body just as a keyboard is interfaced with a synthesizer. In other words, the Vdancer allows the human body to be the instrument itself, with its sounds represented by a computer.

Song Premier

Simon Estes to perform at World Cup finale concert

from PAGE 12 service.

Among the other attractions, were a few nonprofit organizations like Avoid the Stork — who made an appearance on the main stage — local churches and of course, merchandise stands.

80/35 also offered other experiences for attendees, ranging from foods, do-it-yourself crafts and other booths, which included giveaways and

even a Japanese acupressure specialist.

A soft and somber monologue of rolling thunder preceded the headlining performance

by Modest Mouse on Sunday. As the intermittent rain sliced through the colored spotlights, the crammed bodies of the pit pushed closer and closer as the show charged through the night.

Almost everyone in the crowd was standing; perhaps due to the waterlogged lawn, or perhaps as a sign of the shared experience of a summer music festival.

Simon Estes, the internationally renowned bass baritone from Centerville, Iowa, will be featured at the Grand Finale Concert of the FIFA world cup 2010.

The concert will support the international United Against Malaria campaign.

Estes will be premiering a song entitled “Save the Children, Save their Lives.”

He will be accompanied by singers from the Simon Estes Music School, which was established in South Africa in 1997.

Musical accompaniment was arranged by Michael Golemo, chairman of the ISU music department, and recorded by Mike Giles, lecturer in music and theatre, and Jonathan Sturm, associate professor of music and theatre.

After Estes returns to Iowa on July 17, the song will be made available on a CD.

CyRide began selling a 2002 E-450 transit cutaway bus Tuesday night on eBay. The bidding will stop at 11:43 a.m. Tuesday.
