Daily scoop
Freddy Court death ruled a suicide The autopsy of the visiting student found dead in Frederiksen Court has revealed the cause of death to be hanging, with the manner of death determined as suicide.
The female body was found at 3 p.m. July 23 in 31 Frederiksen Court. According to the ISU News Service, a welfare check was requested by the university when the woman did not show up for class, which was unusual for her. Aaron Delashmutt, captain of the ISU Police Department and the lead investigator on the case, said the woman, a participant in a program through the College of Design, was found in 3128 Frederiksen Court. The ISU News Service is not choosing to release the name out of respect for the deceased.

Health fees for 2012-13 not set to increase
The proposed student health fee for ISU students will not be increased this academic year, according to a presentation handout from Michael Giles, director of recreation services, during a July 31 meeting of the Special Student Fee and Tuition Committee. For the past three fiscal years, the student
health fee for ISU students has been $98 per semester for the fall and spring semesters and $49 during the summer term. It will stay the same for the 2012-13 school year. The highest recorded student health fee in the Big 12 Conference is recorded at $105 per semester. The lowest is recorded at $73 per semester.

Three charged in sexual assault
Three suspects, one adult male and two juvenile males, are being charged with sexual assault in the second degree, according to a news release from Paul Fitzgerald of the Story County Sheriff’s Office. According to the release: “At 2:43 p.m. July 26, the Sheriff’s Office received an 911 call from Tana Tesdall of Ames, who stated she was at Peterson Park when a woman came out of the woods stating she had been raped. Deputies made contact with the 17-year-old victim, who said she had been abducted from her Hamilton County home by three males and taken to Peterson Park where she was assaulted by all three of the males. Through further investigation, deputies were able to locate the three male suspects.

One-on-one with Elizabeth Beatty By Frances.Myers @iowastatedaily.com Elizabeth Beatty, senior in animal science, has been involved with the Iowa State Fair since she was 11 years old. Beatty has specialized in showing horses and dogs. She sat down with the Daily to talk about her experiences of showing at the Iowa State Fair and how far she has come.
How did you get involved with showing at the fair? 4-H — I started showing my dogs and horses when I was in fifth grade — and the Cowgirl Queen contest. It’s been something my sisters and mom and I always do. We camp in a tent starting the Monday before the
fair starts up until Friday when the queen contest is.
Have you always shown horses and dogs, or were there ever years when you differed in what you showed? No. It’s always been horses and dogs, although last year I was part of the Shining Stars Percheron Hitch, which was different for me because I normally show stock type horses.
Do you have any favorite memories of showing at the fair? The first year I took my bottle colt, Indigo, up to the fair was fantastic. He was

go. My gelding can be a little crazy sometimes, so I am always thinking about what might make him nervous or jittery and what I can do to counteract that. Beforehand I do lots of warming up and just memorizing patterns.
What’s it like when you’re in the show ring? What goes through your head? Is there anything you do to prepare beforehand?
Do you have any goals you’d like to achieve this year?
I have a new 3-year-old mare, Kenya, that I would like to have ready for showmanship and halter this year at the fair. My paint gelding Indigo is recovering from a trailering accident, so most of my plans are moot. With Ulysses, my German shepherd, I would like to get a 190/200 in the pre-novice [class] at the open show.

ISD road trip: Springfield Live Lincoln’s life or try a horseshoe in Springfield By Aimee.Burch @iowastatedaily.com This summer, the Daily has taken our readers on an incredible journey throughout Iowa. We drove to many incredible destinations, stopping or, at the very least, driving through many of our employees’ and readers’ hometowns. One of our writers even sent us correspondence from overseas in London. But there are a few places much closer to Ames we did not visit. One of those places happens to be a place I am quite familiar with, seeing as I called it home for close to 20 years. Springfield, Ill., is filled with history. It is the state capital and the place where our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, spent much of his life. Because of that, Springfield proudly displays his name and likeness everywhere around town. One of these places is the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. Opened in 2005, it is a treasure trove for researchers, history buffs and average citizens alike. The museum features two theaters with regular showings of “Mr. Lincoln’s Eyes” and “Ghosts of the Library.” Full of special effects and interactive features, the shows tell of the purpose these libraries and museums serve as well as giving visitors insight into what life was like in the Lincoln-era White House. The two “journeys” tell visitors of Lincoln’s prepresidential life as a child and later Springfield lawyer and legislator as well as Lincoln’s White House years. One of the most powerful parts of the White House journey is the

video “The Civil War in Four Minutes,” where visitors see the toll taken during one of our nation’s darkest times. The museum also features special exhibits depending on the time of year. A short walk away from the museum is the Lincoln home and Old State Capitol. No visit to Springfield is complete without stopping for a horseshoe. What is a horseshoe, you ask? It is a piece of Texas toast with some sort of meat or sometimes veggie topping, covered by a pile of French fries and drizzled with cheese sauce. Being the place where this sandwich apparently was created, Springfield knows how to make these indulgent sandwiches right. One of the more legendary places to go for a horseshoe in Springfield is D’Arcy’s Pint. An Irish pub featuring both Irish and American classics, it is one of the top places to go in Springfield. Another popular horseshoe stop is the Dublin Pub. You really cannot go wrong getting a horseshoe at either location. While I love life in Ames and Iowa State, Springfield will always have a special place in my heart. Enjoy this brief introduction to a great place.

Editorial
Say goodbye to taxes on textbooks
Updated policies foster student responsibility In a time of ever increasing education costs, it’s nice to get some good news for a change. On top of tuition set-asides going away now, which we learned about earlier this summer, ISU students have even more good news for this fall. As of July 30, students shopping for their books and supplies at the University Book Store will no longer be charged Iowa sales tax. That’s right Folks, read our lips: No more textbook taxes. This comes after the decline and fall of Campus Book Store, located right across from the Memorial Union on Lincoln Way. The Iowa tax code has had the provision for not charging taxes on educational materials for years, but according to Warren Madden, ISU senior vice president of business and finance, Iowa State had an agreement with Campus Book Store to continue charging taxes on textbooks to allow the two stores to remain competitive. Now, with Campus Book Editorial Board

now allowing students to charge their textbooks on their U-Bills, right at the register. With no need to pay for their books up-front, students can now take advantage of any extra student loans they have taken out. Student debt, however, is an increasingly serious problem. In America, student loan debt is over $1 trillion as of this year, making it higher than national credit card debt. And up until now, a student could load his or her CyCash account with up to $500 (and pay for it by sending it to his or her U-Bill) and use the money to pay for extra things the University Book Store stocks, from iPads to Xboxes. To address that concern, though, the university has curtailed the ability of students to spend money in such a way by limiting CyCash accounts to $50. These measures should ensure students use their financial resources in more responsible ways, a skill that cannot be overvalued and which is increasingly essential as students seek financial independence.

Patriotism
Country music, hard work and the love for a nation
A
s I sat on an old flowered bed sheet that my family had laid down on the grass while we listened to a local country cover band for the Fourth of July, I was engrossed by the connection between patriotism, summertime and country music. What is it about the summer’s heat that brings out a sense of patriotism? What is it about country music that amplifies the feeling of summer? How does that patriotic feeling inspire a country song in a summer setting? Why do these all connect, not only for me, but for the other hundreds of people that have gathered for the same experience? In so many country songs the lyrical setting is a farm or small town. For many Americans, there is a connection between a farm and the United States. A farm is a place of where so many hours have been spent, so many summer days have been sweated out bailing hay and just hard work getting done in general. Most of this hard work is done during the summer months, which is why we associate the hard work on a farm and summertime. There’s just not that same gratification of hard work when the day has been spent in an office pushing paper. There just isn’t.
By Claire.Yetley @iowastatedaily.com So is country music just a chance for us all to remember that feeling of a hard day’s work? Could be, but it could also be a chance to correlate America’s past achievements with the hard work of each individual. That individual standing upon the merits of their own labor is traditional liberalism, the philosophy upon which America was founded. Before the boom brought on by the industrial revolution, a majority of Americans lived and worked on farms. Our ground was fertile and nutrient rich; the agricultural possibilities were amazing. The Native American people farmed here before the settlers farmed the land but only to the extent that there was enough to feed their tribe. The settlers however saw the opportunity to overproduce enough crops to sell to the country and the world. There was so much land and room for everyone to have a piece of the American Dream. We hear that term “American Dream” tossed around in conversation, but what is the American Dream? Is it a house, a steady job, a family to come home to? Maybe a car? Maybe it was and could still be to many people, but more and more of our under-30 generation is choosing

to give that up for other opportunities. Some social commentators are calling this generation the “global generation” as our age group chooses to, for example, travel abroad and gain life experiences rather than settle down as fast for steady things such as a house or a career. The American Dream is not only changing with each generation, it changes with ethnicity and background as well. I overheard a conversation where a man was asked
what song embodies the American spirit most to him. He answered “Buscando America” by Ruben Blades, which won a Grammy in 1984 for Best Tropical Latin Performance. The song speaks of coming to America, the land of freedom, justice and opportunity. That’s what my own ancestors were seeking when they came to America to start a farm, and now new Americans are looking for opportunity just the same. People like to feel as if they are
a part of something. If by claiming Iowan roots you feel you are associating yourself with the great agricultural history of this state, then more power to you. When I claim that I am Iowan it means we value our land, not only agriculturally but also our prairie grass, lakes and rivers as well. To each person there is a different meaning, based on different experiences and different teachings of Iowan or American history. There is only one history but many different ways to perceive, learn or teach it. Country music is a connection to our agricultural history, and some of that history is what brought all those people out to the band’s performance. It’s important to remember the history of our country. People not only acknowledge the importance of our heritage but feel a sense of pride in being a part of America’s achievement, even if for some, the part is a simple acknowledgement by listening to country music. And what better time to celebrate American agricultural history than the summer during the busy season for farms?

Sports
Athletics places emphasis on facility redevelopment By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Dirt still connects the fields, and workers continue diligently on the finishing touches. Yet with each passing day, the thought of events at the Cyclone Sports Complex becomes closer to reality. Since the Board of Regents approved the new facility in October 2010, the ISU
athletic department has worked to secure funding and lock down details on the 22acre, $10.7 million project that will bring new soccer and softball fields, as well as a new track and throwing areas. The project is one of many ongoing developments for the athletic department, as they also continue working on a new football facility and a golf performance facility, as well as remodeling the wrestling practice room at Lied Recreation Athletic
Center. The enhancements help push Cyclone athletics forward. “It gives… I don’t know if the right word is ‘hope,’ but it fulfills to our constituents what we said we were going to do,” said Athletic Director Jamie Pollard. “They’re proud of that and excited by it, because when they were here, we didn’t have that,
FACILITIES.p9 >>
>>FACILITIES.p8 so they feel like they were the pioneers to make it happen.” When Pollard was hired in 2006, he had a plan. Much of it involved the facilities in Ames, and previous enhancements have included the addition of the Sukup Basketball Complex for the men’s and women’s teams and a new scoreboard and sound system at Jack Trice Stadium. “We had a vision of things that needed to happen,” Pollard said recalling his plan when he first arrived. “Part of it was we needed to sell more tickets; we needed to raise more money. ... If we could do that, we showed what we would do to reinvest that.” Now they are acting on those plans and reinvesting. The money has flowed in during Pollard’s tenure, and it has been spread across many sports. When the Cyclone Sports Complex and the new football facility are finished, more than $100 million will have been invested in facilities since Pollard arrived. While the football facility will aid recruitment for football and help progress that program, Pollard is particularly excited about the Cyclone Sports Complex. The new facility lies about 1 mile east of the Southwest Athletic

Complex, the current home of Cyclone softball. “It’ll help in recruiting significantly because it gives us a front door for those programs,” Pollard said. “For those student athletes that are here, it gives them a better place to train and to become the type of student-athlete they all want to be.” The ISU soccer team has played at the ISU Soccer Complex behind Lied since the team’s inception in 1995. The softball team has played at the Southwest Athletic Complex since 1980. Both facilities have sufficed for their respective teams during those periods. But after the soccer complex was flooded in 2010 — the land it is built on is in a flood plain — it was clear it might be time for improvement. Both the new soccer and softball fields will seat approximately three times as many fans, said Chris Jorgensen, senior associate athletic director of facilities, planning and management. As of publishing, an official opening date for the new complex has not been set. Jorgensen estimated the new complex is about 90 percent completed but said the soccer team will now begin its upcoming season at its old home behind Lied. “Soccer will begin practic-

the softball field ready for practice use when the team returns later in August. And the complex will provide something for the track and field team, too. While Pollard does not anticipate an abundance of
schedule additions with the new outdoor track, he said Iowa State will now be able to host the Big 12 Championships once every 10 years and better prepare for outdoor meets. Pollard said the complex would not be possible without
several factors contributing to its development, particularly the involvement of the Big 12 Conference. “It wouldn’t have been possible if we didn’t have the

ISU researchers use ultrasounds to
give pig farmers an inside look By Frances.Myers @iowastatedaily.com
Photo: Megan Wolff/Iowa State Daily Colin Johnson performs an ultrasound on a pig at the Story County Fair on July 22. Ultrasounds are performed on pigs to determine the quality of meat of the pig.
The word “ultrasound” is commonly used when referring to a woman’s pregnancy. Many people do not think of it as being used with animals. However, that is precisely what Iowa State has been using ultrasounds for since the 1990s. “Real-time ultrasound has been around since the 1970s,” said Chad Yoder, graduate student in animal science. Yoder has been involved with the program since June 2010. “The equipment is similar to what is used in hospitals for pregnancy ultrasounds, and we actually use hospital equipment (though out of date) for ultrasounding. Iowa State began the county fair ultrasound program in the early 1990s.” Yoder works with Colin Johnson, extension program specialist with the Iowa Pork Industry Center, to perform the ultrasounds on swine being shown at many of the county fairs in Iowa. Ultrasounds are often performed at county fairs on swine, as well as sheep and cattle in some organizations. Thus, it makes for a busy summer for the team. Yoder also has to balance ultrasounds at the county fairs along with research projects for his graduate program. “It is quite hectic to try and fit in research projects for graduate school and all of the county fairs, which leads to many long days, but fortunately, Iowa State does not ultrasound all 99 counties,” Yoder said. “Not all counties request this service, and there are several companies in Iowa that provide this service as well. Also, most county fairs occur during the same three-week period in July,
which would make it impossible for us to do them all since Iowa State currently has three certified technicians. Iowa State was scheduled to ultrasound at 36 county fairs this year as well as the state fair.” Yoder said the main use is as a tool for genetic improvement within the swine industry. “Ultrasound was developed as a tool to measure traits on a live animal that could previously only be measured on the carcass post-mortem,” Yoder said. “For example, in pigs we can measure the amount of back fat the pig has, a measure of its leanness; how big its loin muscle area is, a measure of muscle or lean tissue in the pig; or intramuscular fat, the fat within the muscle that provides the flavor, also known as marbling, which is also used as a measure of pork quality. Now we can measure them on the animal and select the animals to be parents that excel in these traits so their progeny have higher genetic potential for these traits.” When going to the county fairs, it typically takes a few hours for Yoder and Johnson to perform the ultrasounds on all the swine. “Each pig only takes about a minute,” Johnson said. “[But] most fairs have anywhere from 20–150 pigs for ultrasounding.” Fair exhibitors are often in charge of taking their pigs and corralling them into the chutes for ultrasounding. “First, we have the exhibitors get their pigs up here, and one pig at a time is placed in the chute,” Johnson said. “Then we pour a little bit of vegetable oil on the pig’s back, and then we place this transducer on the pig’s back. We want to try to measure in the space between the pig’s 10th and

>>ULTRASOUND.p10 11th ribs.” Yoder said it can be difficult to figure out where those ribs are, but it’s made much easier once the ultrasound transducer, or the “probe” used to see the muscle and fat, is put on the pig’s back. Once this is placed, it can be adjusted slightly in order to find the space between the 10th and 11th ribs. “Once the transducer is on the pig it can be adjusted slightly to find the space between the ribs. The reason we chose that location is because there are landmarks inside the pig’s muscle that tell us we are in that exact location and not too far forward or too far backward.” Yoder said they try to find the same place on every pig so the comparisons are accurate. “Finding it is not as difficult as it may seem,” Yoder said. “If I were to be too far forward — at the ninth rib for example — there would be an extra muscle in the picture — the spinalis muscle — and the shape would be different than it should look. If I were too far back — at the eleventh/twelfth rib — then the shape would be very distorted, so we know what to look for every time.” Once the ideal image is received, a button is clicked to freeze it. Then the pig is let out of the chute and returned to its pen. Next the image is traced to determine loin muscle area and fat depth. The machine calculates the area and depth. “The main reason we go to county fairs is to educate exhibitors,” Yoder said. “We want the exhibitors to understand what we are doing, why we are doing it and what the value is to the commercial swine industry. These are measures of interest to the entire
for 6% to 8% of total electricity use. Over the past decade, advances in the design of major home appliances has
substantially reduced operating costs. EnergyStar-qualified appliances incorporate advanced technologies that use 10% - 50% less energy and water than standard models.

swine industry, just at the fair level there are awards for it. The point of these measures at the fair is to relate what the exhibitor has done with their animal to what is occurring in the commercial swine industry and mainly as an educational tool to prepare the exhibitors that may want to eventually pursue a career in the swine industry.”

31,000 Admissions
Enrollment, retention continue to grow and reach record rates By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com It has been estimated that just more than 31,000 students will call Iowa State and Ames their home for the 2012-13 school year. This estimate will mean another record breaking year in student enrollment at the university, which already boasted the fall of 2011 as a re-
and counting...
cord breaking year with 29,887 students enrolled. “It’ll be a squeeze this year,” said ISU President Steven Leath, who has met Leath with directors across the university and feels they are “well prepared” to handle the incoming numbers. A large incoming freshman class is not the sole contributing factor to the large student body this fall semester. “We’re doing a better job retaining our students, which is great, but it does mean that your numbers are larger,”
Leath said. Leath; Pete Englin, director of the Department of Residence; and Phillip Caffrey, interim director of Admissions, all attribute rising retention rates to the increasing size of enrollment. “When our enrollment gets really big, people automatically attribute that to the fact that we’re bringing in larger classes,” Caffrey explained. “But retention plays a really big part in this growth that we’re having.” Retention in both returning students and students who wish to remain in on-campus housing has grown over the last year.
With more students wanting to live in on-campus housing, the DOR is expecting about 400 students will be living in dens at the start of fall semester. In the fall of 2011, only 175 students temporarily lived in dens around campus. “We hope it’s a very temporary situation and that it won’t happen in the future,” Leath said. In August, there will be a request to the Iowa Board of Regents to add 650 to 700 new living spaces to Frederiksen Court in order to help facilitate the growing student population.
ENROLLMENT.p15 >>
Thursday, August 2, 2012 | Iowa State Daily | COVER STORY | 15
>>ENROLLMENT.p14 “Ideally for us, we would not want to use dens and would like to start the year with a vacancy rate of about 3 to 5 percent because today’s students really like to have choices,” Englin said. “The reality is, the initial assignment may not work perfectly, so it’s nice to have some flexibility.” This year there will be more than 10,000 students living in on campus facilities. However, Englin predicts between 800 and 1,100 students will leave on-campus living from fall semester to spring semester. Englin said if there is approval to add on to Frederiksen Court, then they hope to begin building as soon as possible and that less plans will be required because they expect to use the same floor plans with only a few minor modifications to rooms.
“I think we’re believing … Iowa State will continue to attract strong and large classes, and we need to be prepared,” Englin said. “That means not requiring anyone to be on campus, but having the right kinds of places for the mix of students so they ultimately graduate. “We need to adapt and do it quickly.” The Office of Admissions will continue to recruit new students up until the first day of classes. This year’s official student enrollment will be documented on the 10th day of classes. So far, Caffrey believes the university has seen growth in both in- and out-of-state students for this upcoming semester. Caffrey said the continuing recruitment of students makes it impossible to predict the actual enrollment because students are constantly
“jumping in and out” before school officially starts. “We’ve not been given any signals that we should slow down or keep the numbers lower. We have a lot of positive momentum here at the university,” Caffrey said. “We’ve never been this successful. … The product we’re selling is so good that it makes it really easy.” Caffrey and Englin both discussed the “brand” of Iowa State and how it makes it so easy not only to retain students but to have more want to join the community. Caffrey attributed the beautiful campus, academic programs and social atmosphere on and off campus as to why so many students are choosing Iowa State. “We’ve put some real effort in advising and in keeping students engaged,” Leath said as to why he feels student retention and enrollment continue
to grow. The use of the polling device MAP-Works was also given credit for helping to understand what is and is not working for students. Leath believes the university will begin to “level out” in terms of student enrollment during the next couple years, but he also expects next year’s enrollment will be a little larger once again. Admissions has already begun recruiting and admitting students for the 2013-14 school year. “Our administration is sort of analyzing, right now, what Iowa State’s capacity is,” Caffrey said. “At what point is any further growth detrimental?” He also said that though larger classes aids in tuition revenue, there also comes a point when students will struggle to find available classes, times meet with their adviser or places to live.

And as Pollard named off the many things on the department’s current slate, he paused, looking toward his window that faced Jack Trice. “Of course we’ve got everybody’s popular south end zone project that at some point we’ll have to kind of re-fire up,” Pollard said. Yet another project that only seems like a matter of time. “Hopefully it’ll be done someday — it’s just a major undertaking,” Pollard said. “That’s just one you don’t embark upon lightly, because you don’t want to put the program at risk by over leveraging it. “We’ll do that when we feel we can properly fund it without crippling the rest of the programs.” For now, they will focus on finishing what they have already started.
