White House calls for punishment of Assad GSB

By Charles.O’Brien @iowastatedaily.com The possibility of war is on the lips of the international community as tension between Syria and the United States and its allies has continued to increase.

Syrian rebels claim nearly 1,300 Syrian citizens have died in a chemical weapon attack

exercised by the Syrian government last week. The United Nations has been investigating the claims.

President Barack Obama and his administration currently are preparing for military action, which the White House is calling a “punishment” for the Bashar al-Assad ran government. Obama has stated that the action taken would not include

soldiers on Syrian soil.

The administration is calling the punishment a very limited attack, which Richard Mansbach, professor of political science at Iowa State, said would mainly consist of long range airstrikes and missile strikes against airfields and chemical factories in Syria.

Obama said a year ago that a “red line” was drawn with Syria

over the possible use of chemical weapons. Many are saying that the line has been crossed when Syria allegedly issued a chemical attack against its own citizens.

James McCormick, professor and chair of political science at Iowa State, said he believes Obama’s credibility is at stake if

GSB, City Council seek shared student input Campustown development project brings out opinions

Members of the Ames City Council talk with a student at WelcomeFest. The recent new of the Kingland Systems project in Campustown has prompted more discussion on the City Council and students working together and sharing input.

hen it comes to the redevelopment of Campustown, the Ames City Council, and the Government of Student Body said they shared a responsibility with Iowa State students to have an informed student body.

The recent news of the Kingland Systems development project had several students surprised and taking to social media the past few days, but this was not “new” news.

“This case started to come before council back in March, long before the students left,” said City Council member Jami Larson. “Our previous liaison on the council, I think she had taken it to GSB, but this kind of happens every summer when we have a turnover of GSB and within the student population.”

The most recent discussion of the project was at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.

Alexandra Harvey serves as the student liaison on the Council, a unique position that many college cities do not offer.

Harvey is a student at Iowa State and a nonvoting member of the City Council.

“The key is making sure Alex tells us about issues,” Larson said. “She’s told us recently about lighting issues on Mortensen Road, issues related to the greek houses and now this issue in Campustown related to the new development, so she’s dong a good job.”

GSB Sen. Zach Bauer said he sees Harvey’s position as being unused by ISU students.

“Most people don’t even realize that we have a student that sits on City Council, and the students don’t really care that much about City Council,” Bauer said. “They just come to school, and I don’t think that’s really doing their part.”

The Campustown development project seems to have come out of nowhere for a lot of students, and the blame for that has been pointed at several different groups, organizations and people.

“There’s no one place to point the finger. There’s lots of different ways students can get information about what’s going on in the city,” said GSB President Spencer Hughes. “Part of the responsibility lies with the students themselves to figure out what’s going on.

waits on accounts

By Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com

When a deficit in the Government of the Student Body’s capital projects account was made public in August, GSB had to begin the process of figuring out how it would cover the balance it needed to bring the account back from the negative.

The balance of the capital projects account currently could not be reported by GSB. “Basically, we’re finishing up the fiscal year, and our accounts haven’t been finalized by the final reviews,” said Finance Director Dan Rediske, referring to GSB’s inability to report a final balance. As of last week, however, the capital projects account was reported to be less than by $102,286.50.

Last week, some members of GSB assumed the situation, which appears to be caused by a miscalculation of enrollment numbers in the allocation process of spring 2012, would be resolved immediately at the first Senate meeting of the year by transferring the balance of its investment account into the capital projects account.

The GSB Senate met for the first time on Wednesday evening at Memorial Union, but a transfer of the money, which would require a twothirds vote approval from the senators, did not appear on the agenda.

“Now that Dan [Rediske] has worked more with the Campus Org Accounting Office to get more information about the situation ... we understand that the numbers are still a little fluid at this point,” said Spencer Hughes, president of GSB. “So Dan has chosen to wait until we know what the numbers are before acting.”

Hughes added that waiting would not affect GSB operations.

The transfer of money from the reserve account to the capital projects account would relieve the debt in the capital projects account. Reclaimed money would further replenish the capital projects account.

“I was just as surprised as most of us,” said Khayree Fitten, inter-fraternity council senator. “We worked with the facts that we had, and so at first I felt a little guilty because I did push and author some of the more expensive expenditures that we had the last fiscal year.”

The meeting included a visit from Anna Prisacari, the president of the Graduate and Professional Student Senate.

Students establish their own majors Combining programs could make new degrees Delaney.Vierkandt @iowastatedaily.com ISU students are establishing their own majors, ones apart from the list that the university already offers.

According to Jane Jacobson, program director of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, students are able to go through a process to receive an interdisciplinary major in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

“If there are students who find that they have a particular interest that cannot be accomplished through the standard majors that we have, or the combination of majors and minors, they can propose an

interdisciplinary studies major,” Jacobson said.

If students decide to create their own major, they need to contact Kathleen Timmons, academic adviser in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Students start in a meeting with her where she explains the process and helps them get started.

“Then they are expected to identify faculty people here at Iowa State who might have a similar interest or can kind of understand the goals of the student,” Timmons said.

Timmons explains that this major incorporates coursework from several different disciplines, but they are all related in a particular way.

Once an interdisciplinary major, women’s studies has become an offered major at Iowa State.

“In the past, that’s how women’s stud-

During the summer, some students may experience a brain drain: Losing retention of knowledge and falling behind right off the bat.

Professors and students sometimes come across a steep learning curve every fall, especially underclassmen and new students.

Professors, students witness post-summer knowledge gap Students start dusting off their craniums, firing up their brains Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com Students are once again dusting off their cranium cobwebs and firing up their brains for the new school year.

For some students, it has been 113 days since encountering ISU classrooms, professors or tests and homework.

While some managed to continue taking courses either at the university or online, others took time off from their learning habits.

Andrew McCrea, senior in journalism and mass communication, said his philosophy on the quantity of knowledge retained during the summer somewhat resides with professors.

“If they’re teaching you correct-

ly, you should be invested enough in what you’re learning that you’ll want to practice it over the summer,” McCrea said.

From a educating perspective, Bob Corey, lecturer in English, said he sees a certain trait as students move through their years at the university level.

“There’s that sense of maturity,” Corey said. “When you’re a freshman, you’re just coming out of high school ... but when you’re a junior or senior, that sense of maturity kicks in.”

Corey said there’s a less likelihood of knowledge drop-off once students are older, because classes and overall education become more important to them.

Continuity between certain classes was something Corey said professors struggle with.

At the high school level, students are taking core classes that relate to each other from semester to semester.

However, when entering uni-

versity level classes, it’s only in early freshmen, who haven’t found that sense of maturity or the sense of continuity it takes to retain knowledge.

While McCrea said he puts a lot of emphasis on students holding professors accountable in their teachings, he recognizes it isn’t always easy practicing certain physical skills during summer vacation.

“I feel that in some cases where the equipment is not available for you to practice your skills, like a chemistry lab, you can’t really use that over the summer,” McCrea said.

“But, you should do supplemental learn to ease the transition.”

As students dive in to their first week of classes, Corey said he is foreseeing a way for students to bridge the brain drain gap.

“The emphasis and push is to continue your reading and continue being current in your field,” Corey said. “Especially for seniors getting ready to graduate, it’s important for them to read articles as they get ready to get into the workforce.”

Facebook group helps students to sell, trade items Where to look

Bethany.Benes @iowastatedaily.com ISU students are adopting a new way of buying and selling their possessions for reasonable prices.

Instead of using popular websites such as eBay or Craigslist, these students have joined a Facebook group that allows them to sell their unwanted possessions at whatever price the buyer agrees. It also allows students looking for a bargain to take advantage of some great deals and even find some items for free.

Members post a description and asking price of the item they are trying to sell, and interested buyers can contact the seller by sending them a Facebook message.

The Facebook group is strictly for ISU students and can be accessed by “liking” the Iowa State Facebook page.

The group will then be available for students to join.

Virtually anything can be sold within the group, from clothes and furniture to electronics and textbooks; several students say they have seen it all.

“I’ve seen animals be sold on there — really random stuff — but also useful stuff at the same time,” said Jenna Petersen, sophomore in graphic design.

Petersen has been using this Facebook group to buy and sell her possessions for about a year now and believes this method of exchange is safer and more reliable than Craigslist or eBay. “[It is] definitely better than Craigslist,” Petersen said.

Petersen said her experience with the group has been a fairly easy process but thinks there are a few flaws within the

>>CONFLICT p1 “This is a moral issue at stake,” McCormick said. “This brings to question how credible the U.S. is. It could even affect our credibility against Iran’s nuclear program. ... [But] even if you take action, the U.S. doesn’t have a coherent plan for bringing about change in Syria. The ultimate policy is not clear to me of what the administration’s plan is for the Assad government.”

Mansbach sees a war in Syria as a nowin situation and as being very unpopular with the American public.

“There is no way you could win by getting involved in this,” Mansbach said.

“It is a hard task to try to shape domestic and internal politics of another government, especially in a declining government like Syria.”

Mansbach also said the United States would have trouble deciding who to side with in the Syria conflict. Assad’s govern-

system.

“Usually they say if you’re going to add a lot of stuff, make an album. Some people just post pictures separately, and it can get really crowded,” Petersen said.

She also suggests turning off your notifications from the group because members are constantly making posts.

ISU student Nick Meier, senior in psychology, discovered the Facebook group when he was looking for a mini-fridge to purchase.

His friends told him about the group, and ever since, he has been using the system.

“I had a guitar, actually, that I bought last semester,” Meier said. “Somebody offered it for $200, I offered them $150, they went up to $175 and I gave them $180 for it.”

Meier also said he later discovered the guitar was worth $300.

Bargain prices are not the only deals that can be found on the Facebook group; members often offer their unwanted possessions for free.

“I’ve gotten some clickers for free,” Meier said.

He also believes that the Free and For Sale Facebook group is less of a hassle

Talks within the U.N. Security Council between the U.S., the United Kingdom, France, China and Russia, pertaining to a draft resolution authorizing “all necessary measures” to protect Syrian citizens has continued with China and Russia showing opposition of immediate action.

Russian officials are calling it “premature” to make a decision until the U.N. weapon inspectors have delivered a report about the chemical weapons attacks alleged by the Syrian rebels.

The United States, United Kingdom and France are considering taking action without U.N. authorization.

“If action is to be taken, Obama needs to go to Congress. He should get them to approve the kind of actions that will be taken,” McCormick said. “He would get the approval and would be much more in line with the constitutional system then.”

than eBay would be.

“You don’t actually have to try to bid for things,” Meier said. However, he believes the method is actually very similar to Craigslist.

A full list of rules posted by the group’s administrator Christopher Waters can be seen on the website to serve as a guideline on how to use this resource.

The Facebook group has gathered nearly 2,600 members during its existence and continues to grow as students learn about this new way of selling and exchanging items.

Similar groups such as Ames Clothing Swap, ISU Ticket Exchange and Textbook Exchange can also be found on Iowa State’s Facebook page.

In a news release sent out Wednesday, Aug. 28, U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, condemned the apparent use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government against its own people.

“An American response to this grotesque act is appropriate,” Braley said in the release. “However, Congress should be a part of deciding the proper use of American force and ensuring that, before we take action, there is a plan for the aftermath of any military intervention. ...

Congressional involvement not only will add credibility to our actions in the international community, it will send a stronger message to the Syrian regime that America stands united against its despicable acts.”

Alcohol Edu educates students on risk Health Center addresses issues of risky drinking among new students Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com The Thielen Student Health Center is working to improve prevention centered programs by targeting incoming students.

Alcohol Edu, along with it’s partner program Haven, were put into practice three years ago, meaning nearly every student at Iowa State has been through the educational program.

“The intended audience is incoming freshman to correct misperceptions they have about alcohol use,” said Lauri Dusselier, manager of prevention services at the Health Center, who explained that the incoming students are expected to take Alcohol Edu before the school year begins.

International students are also included into the program, but do not have to go through the materials until after they arrive at Iowa State.

Alcohol Edu addresses the issues involved with high risk drinking, which is defined as five or more drinks in a sitting, once or more in the past two weeks.

Frequent high risk is drinking five or more drinks in a sitting three or more times in two weeks.

Dusselier explained that about 38 percent of students at Iowa State are shown to engage in high risk drinking, with 12 percent who engage in high risk drinking frequently.

Material in the program explains effects alcohol has on the body, as well as what student’s need to know about identifying and reporting alcohol poisoning.

The program takes two to three hours to complete and is taken on AccessPlus.

Alcohol Edu is meant to educate the hazards of heavy alcohol consumption. Thielen Student Health Center is working to stay up with new information and research prevention programs. The material in the program helps students know how to identify and when to report alcohol poisoning.

Haven addresses sexual misconduct and the importance of bystander intervention.

Michelle Hendricks, director of the Health Center, helped create and start Alcohol Edu at Iowa State.

“The goals of a program like this are re-

ally broad,” Hendricks said, who explained that there are many factors involved with judging the progress of the program.

Hendricks, who has worked in college health for 16 years, said the one reason behind the start of the program was “to help address complex, high risk issues.”

One goal is that the program encourages student’s to report incidents and that they feel “empowered and willing to call for help,” Hendricks said.

Hendricks explained that the Health Center is working to stay up with new information and research on prevention programs.

Student leaders on campus have been provided with a password to the online program as well so they can be aware and up-to-date in order to help other students with these topics.

Dusselier said any student or faculty member interested in taking Alcohol Edu can receive a password from the Health Center.

“You need to first look around at what the university has to offer you, and start identifying what ... majors ... are at least associated with what you want to do.

graduated in the summer of 2013. She said she believes that there were many benefits by creating her own major.

“One of the benefits was that I was able to become closer to my professors, which opened up a lot of doors into the professional world that I was entering,” Sveum said.

Creating her major and working toward it took a lot of time management skills, which was another big thing she said she benefitted from.

However, there were some fallbacks.

“You’re kind of setting yourself up. Instead of having one independent study, I had three,” Sveum said. “Also, a lot of the work was mostly nonprofit, so I’m still trying to find a professional position.”

Despite the fallbacks, Sveum said, choosing an interdisciplinary major greatly pays off.

>>DECISIONS p1 “I think GSB could have done a better job at letting students know what was going on, the city could have done a better job at engaging the student body and the Campustown organizations that were engaged in the project could have done a better job of bringing in more students who were not necessarily residents of Campustown but who do go there.”

When Harvey told GSB that the project had returned to the council’s agenda, Hughes immediately took action.

“When Alex brought that to our attention, I felt like students who have opinions on the project weren’t as aware of the project as they wish they would be, so that’s why I wrote a letter asking city council to delay action on the project and allow an opportunity for students to really get engaged,” Hughes said.

The City Council meets with GSB once a year to discuss items on both their own agenda, and what the GSB is planning the upcoming year. Council member Larson suggests students talking to a GSB member as one of the ways to have their voice heard.

“They can certainly follow us on Twitter; they also can participate somewhat in the council meetings online by going to CityofAmes.org, and they can live-stream the council meetings on Tuesday nights,” Larson said. “They can also either talk to their GSB representative or their dorm floor representative to help get the word to Alex.”

When it comes to the redevelopment project moving forward, Larson said nothing will happen until more student input is collected by the council and the developer.

Hughes wants students to realize the importance of local government and how much of an impact it has on ISU students’ life.

“The more local the government is the more if effects you and you don’t realize it, typically,” Hughes said. “I know that all the council members are accessible, by email and their emails are publicly available on the city’s website.”

Hughes and Larson agree that the responsibility of having an informed student body relies on the city council, GSB and the students.

Any student who wants to contact any GSB or City Council members can visit each respective organization’s website.

ISU needs to focus on global work For five weeks every summer, ISU students can be found winnowing amaranth, building tip-taps, and digging sweet potato mounds in the fields and gardens of Uganda, fostering an appreciation for agriculture without borders.

The Uganda Service Learning Program is second to none at Iowa State, providing students and faculty with the opportunity to work alongside undergraduates from Makerere University, in the Kamuli District of Uganda. Students have been making the trip for nearly eight years, promoting intercultural understanding between Iowans and Ugandans and nurturing unique binational projects between two outstanding universities.

All while being 100 percent donor-funded.

This is an experiential learning program Iowa State should be proud of, as it puts into practical use the technical skills the university takes particular pride in emphasizing.

Iowa State needs to place more focus on the Uganda Service Learning Program and begin to fund other similar experiential programs, as it not only empowers students to actually use their newly developed skills in agriculture, but reflects the university’s passion for development and dedication to sustainable agricultural practices.

According to Global Professor and coleader of the program Gail Nonnecke, the Uganda Service Learning trip has two main purposes.

First, the program is designed to enhance agricultural knowledge among young people living in the Kamuli district.

These young Ugandans typically have a very negative view of any agricultural work, and many consider it to be a sign of poverty to work as a farmer or gardener. It is the job of ISU students to show them that agriculture can be a great business opportunity — and a livelihood to take pride in.

And who better to share their wealth of agricultural knowledge than ISU students?

These students act as teachers and leaders of agriculture in Uganda, and for them, the benefits of the program are equally as tangible.

Students participating in the trip have the opportunity to actively practice in development work, using their technical skills in a slew of agricultural topics, from agronomy to food science.

This is an opportunity which Iowa State should not ignore; the university needs to begin providing financial support for this program, as well as offer more publicity for similar programs throughout the university, in order to truly provide the experiential learning education from which students will benefit the most.

Working with tropical agriculture to solve problems of sustainability, from local farming projects to school gardens, results in “unbelievable” improvements in students’ ability to problem-solve, Nonnecke said, as well as dramatic increases in technical knowledge and skill sets.

By the end of the program, Nonnecke said, “students are able to independently provide solutions to complex problems regarding sustainability” and have made impressive transformations into being more globally oriented people.

Growing in size from fewer than 20 participants to more than 50 students and faculty members in total, the Uganda Service Learning Program has proven to be a great experience for students wanting to supplement their theoretical knowledge with unparalleled hands-on experience and international exposure.

But because it is entirely funded by financial gifts, the program is unlikely to expand to other countries anytime soon.

“We’d be so happy to have similar programs in different parts of the world,” said Dorothy Masinde, co-leader of the program, “but the main concern we have is financial resources.”

As a world leader in agriculture, and an institution which emphasizes the development of practical skills in fields of science and technology, there is no question that this is the kind of hands-on program in which Iowa State needs to provide more publicity, as well as increased financial attention.

Find patriotism in

selfless service Jonathan Krueger & Azwan Azhar/Iowa State Daily

Being a member of the armed forces is not the only way to be patriotic. Any selfless service strengthens the nation as a whole.

Patriotism can be expressed through different acts of service Service to one’s country is a great thing. It signifies that one is willing to sacrifice some part of one’s life, and in extreme cases, one’s life itself for a cause greater than any person. In serving a country, state, or municipality, one serves all members and wards of such governments. That selfless service is at the heart of patriotism in the United States of America.

That patriotism can be expressed through many avenues of service, despite the overwhelming tendency to associate service to our country with military service.

Indeed, the terms “servicemen and servicewomen” are often used to reference our military personnel, and the term “the service” is colloquially used to mean the military.

This is somewhat of an understandable, albeit simple view of service to our country. Certainly no other form of service has been historically more likely to result in paying with one’s life, and few services could claim to take Americans so far from home for so long in service to their country.

To be clear, military personnel absolutely provide an important and necessary service to our country, but theirs is not a monopoly. Teachers, police officers, diplomats, elected officials, medical professionals, and dozens of other groups all provide services that help make this country what it is.

These groups may not be resources that literally defend and

By Phil.Brown @iowastatedaily.com protect our country or its interests abroad, but all services are integral in making and protecting the United States. It cannot be doubted that we as a country are far more than our borders and all the land between them.

After all, the United States was not founded solely by people with guns. It was founded mainly by men and women who recognized a difference in ideas about politics, freedom, liberty, and justice between themselves and the then-sovereign country of England.

Soldiers certainly defended the newly independent nation, but it is exceedingly important to separate the two events.

To suggest otherwise, to suggest that the soldiers were the ones who founded our nation, belittles our forefathers to nothing more than citizens of a country that took what it wanted simply because it had the physical strength to do so. The military of the United States is comprised of defenders, not creators.

Their duty is to defend that which they and the rest of the United States have created: an idea that goes beyond the physical world.

That idea, and service to it, is what makes a patriot.

For example, demonstrators who participated in the 1960s Civil Rights movement were no less

defenders of the idea of the United States of America than our military personnel are defenders of the physical United States.

Seemingly, some would disagree. During the past 4th of July celebrations, Lady Gaga made somewhat of a stir when she altered the words to our national anthem at a Gay Pride rally to end with “a home for the gays.”

Former U.S. Representative Allen West, a veteran of the army branch of the military, called Lady Gaga’s action “reprehensible,” saying that “This young lady should be taken to Ft. McHenry and given a history lesson as to why Francis Scott Key wrote those incredible words.”

While many of us have heard the story of Key writing the words as a prisoner aboard a British ship while watching an overnight bombardment of Fort McHenry, we have also heard about how Abraham Lincoln never told a lie, Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity by flying a kite during a thunderstorm, and that George Washington was ten feet tall.

Certainly West has the right to maintain and voice his opinion, but if he is implying that our national anthem is a tribute only to our military and not our nation as a whole, perhaps he needs the history lesson.

It is all types of services, be they military or otherwise, that strengthen the intangible as well as physical portions of the United States.

Set standards against necrophiliacs As of 2007, there were nine states that had no explicit laws on necrophilia. Effective at the beginning of this year, Illinois pushed a law governing the taboo topic with a vote 114-0 in favor of: “Creating the offense of abuse of a corpse. Providing that a person commits the offense if he or she intentionally engages in sexual conduct with a corpse or involving a corpse.” The penalty for committing this crime is up to seven years in prison.

Interestingly enough, there is no current federal law governing the topic either. In other words, the state you live in determines whether you get off the grotesque act scott-free or (in the case of Nevada) spend the rest of your life in jail. In Iowa, the act is a class D felony with a potential fiveyear jail sentence.

My question is why is this extremely offensive act punished in such a bipolar manner across the United States? The taboo nature of the act prevents discourse on the topic.

I think the answer lies within the moral philosophy of whether or not dead bodies have “rights.” According to all state laws, acts of sexual deviance are only governed for living bodies that aren’t classified as “human remains.” According to most laws, it is a victimless crime, though potentially the most offensive of actions.

One might think that it is obvious this should be illegal, but upon closer inspection it becomes more convoluted. The seemingly only “victim” of the act is the family of the deceased, and their unlivable terror that such an act may cause. But should an

By Jonathan Krueger @iowastatedaily.com act of extreme insult or offense be considered criminal? According to the Constitution, no.

Obviously those that are more religious might be more inclined to demand for a greater punishment, because the contamination of a “soul” is involved.

Even though the supposed soul of the deceased might no longer be with the body, it still could be taken as a desecration to the soul in heaven.

This sort of logic wouldn’t stand in the legal system as it is on a religious basis. Although, “unnatural intercourse” is illegal in Mississippi — take that as you will.

The University of Minnesota’s Dr. John Troyer, who specializes in “technologies of the human corpse,” said: “Human corpses and the laws that govern the use of dead bodies are uniquely positioned to cause legal discrepancies since the dead body is a quasi-subject before the law. This creates a constant problem where the deceased body is no longer a living person and therefore not covered by the laws that regulate sexual deviance.”

He goes on to say: “I’m not proscribing more robust law enforcement but it certainly begs the question — how willing are people to examine the legal rights of dead bodies and the sexual desires of individuals deemed ‘human deviants?’” This is the question I pose to you.

My stance on any issue is that

insults cannot be criminalized.

Offense cannot be given, only taken.

I also agree that in the eyes of the law, necrophilia is a victimless crime with the exception of the amount of psychological damage a family or friend might undertake upon learning of such atrocity to their deceased loved one — and therefore warrants some level of punishment for harming the “property” of the family.

Minimally, the supposed necrophiliac should undergo psychological evaluation. If this person is found sane, then I believe a hefty fine should be put in place, based on the percentage of their income. Jail time should exist, but only for minimal terms (no more than five years) that increases per repeated offense. The sentencing would also include the prohibition from employment at morgues, graveyards, and the like, as well as a no-contact order with family and friends of the deceased.

Why do I find this topic necessary to talk about? It’s because I don’t like the fact that circumstances in America exist where someone could either be put to prison for life or walk the streets only labeled as a creep, simply on the basis of in which state someone lives.

“To legislate against this kind of abject behavior means acknowledging its existence, which some authorities may find difficult to deal with,” said Troyer, which means breaking the taboo is necessary to create public discourse of this controversial topic. If we are unwilling to even address the topic, consistency in its punishment will never be achieved.

Makeup works as superfluous tool for feminine identity Cosmetics cause women to seek cultural ‘ideal’

By Claire.Yetley @iowastatedaily.com

As far back in history as ancient Egypt, men and women wore a substance similar to eyeliner called kohl. It might have been the start of makeup as we know it, and it certainly wasn’t the end.

Women in the renaissance era would apply white powder that often contained arsenic to their faces to look as if they have never spent a day outside. The sun-tanned look that is coveted by some in our culture today was actually a symbol of low social class. French women were the first to pull off bright reds on their lips and cheeks. This was so extreme and dramatic at the time that other cultures questioned the French’s makeup culture.

Cosmetic surgery has a history that dates back to ancient India in 800 BC., where they performed skin grafts. But in fact modern day plastic surgery started to develop during World War I when soldiers would return home with serious and deformative wounds on their face.

As our society’s demand for physical labor decreases the purpose of gyms is less about sports and recreation than it is about personal fitness. Yes, it is healthy

to work out but there is such a thing as excessive exercise. Being toned and muscular is actually becoming more and more unnecessary for most lifestyles where people work at a desk, drive a car, and are not required to do any amount of heavy lifting unless they want to.

But people still work out at gyms nonetheless. If a limb is blown off or a face disfigured in battle, soldiers will do what they can to attain normality. Women still wear blush and mascara even though today people recognize it as makeup instead of a natural face.

Why is our culture so obsessed with appearance, and more specifically, why are women drawn back to makeup day after day?

There is the common argument that it’s enjoyable to put on makeup. That makeup is an opportunity to express one’s self and be creative. The face a woman chooses to show reflects her personality in some ways.

But this all begs the question: To whom are they being expressive?

Psychologist Lauren Suval said: “Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, the desire for validation is one of the strongest motivating forces known to man.”

Whether women say they wear makeup for themselves or to look beautiful, the ultimate reason is because humans seek approval, and makeup validates their identity as feminine in our society. The raw truth is that we as a society wish to look attractive to others.

As a result of this cultural trend, the cosmetics industry jumped from $300,000 in sales in 1927 to $3.2 million in 1930, correlation: the silver screen.

Jean Harlow was considered one of the first movie “stars” in America, with platinum blond curls, red lips, and signature giggle-like trait she did in movies. With her and other actresses’ prominence, women began to compare themselves to these female models of beauty and grace instead of their fellow, ordinary women.

The evolution of makeup has been closely tied to the evolution of media. More movies are produced, and billboards pop up on highways. Women and men see beautifully made-up actresses on the screen and wish to look just like that. The television moves the media inside the home, making it accessible every day. The advertising industry booms, filling every print media with glossy pictures. It is no longer just movie stars but also commercial girls that attach their beauty to products.

Appearance has always been important to men and women, and the careful application of makeup each morning is not a new trend.

However, as technology and the media expand and grow, there are more outlets through which women compare themselves to others. The critical nature of the media causes women, in turn, to be critical of themselves.

Because makeup has been in our human culture since

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Beauty practices across the ages dictate cultural ideals and standards for women. Makeup is a tool that can be used to define femininity.

ancient Egyptian times it is now accepted in most places around the world. But the drive for validation and acceptance only grows with each generation of

women. Makeup, so essential to some women’s lives, becomes more and more of a tool with which women shape themselves to a cultural “ideal.”

Letter to the editor

Upperclassmen should offer support, not ridicule, to freshmen Khayree Fitten is a sophomore in political science and global resource systems As the largest freshman class in university history has flooded campus, I have taken note of our new students. It then comes as a surprise to no one that I have observed a sea of red drawstring backpacks, Iowa State lanyards, white T-shirts that contain the school fight song, and a plethora

of faces hidden behind maps.

More importantly, I have observed the attitudes and actions of upperclassmen peers towards the incoming class. Again, I’m not making any news by reporting the disparaging comments and ridicule of “freshmen” shirts or bags, and statements like “don’t look like a freshman just because you are one.”

I served as a Cyclone Aide during new student orientation and Destination Iowa State over

the past months, and as someone who’s job it is to speak positively and reassuringly about transitioning to college and the “Iowa State experience,” I find it disconcerting to find such animosity and hostility toward freshman.

I don’t believe it speaks highly of our student populace that as soon as new students arrive on campus, we initiate an informal process of hazing. During the most critical and formative weeks of their college experience, they

are subjected to indifference from those who are supposed to help guide them through this journey we call college.

I especially take offense to this, because I know everything that goes into Orientation and Destination Iowa State programs.

Thousands of hours of manpower are sacrificed towards the benefit of freshman just to be unraveled by upperclassmen as soon as they arrive in Ames.

I’m under no illusion that

when 6000 new people arrive in the dorms that rainbows will fill the sky and unicorns will carry the new students to CyRide stops.

However, I do encourage everyone to consider the words of ISU Alumni Association President Jeff Johnson in his remarks to new students at Destination Iowa State, “Forget right now that you’re new. Forget that you’re freshman. All you need to think about is being a member of CyclONE Nation.”

SENIOR SUPPORT Senior players serve up advice for underclassmen

By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com Seniors Kristen Hahn and Tenisha Matlock have taken on a new role for their final year at Iowa State.

The ISU volleyball team’s roster is made up of 10 underclassmen and only four upperclassmen this season. As the only two seniors on the team, Hahn and Matlock have become mentors to the younger players this year.

“When you’re beginning, you’re along for the ride and your head is kind of spinning,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “As you mature you want to be caring about your teammates and thinking about them more. I think that’s something we’ve been asking more and more of [Hahn].”

Iowa State graduated All-American setter Allison Landwehr along with outside hitter Rachel Hockaday and middle blockers Taylor Knuth and Jamie Straube

following last season.

Hahn and Matlock have been preparing the other players this preseason to take over those positions. “[Hahn and Matlock] are really helpful during practice, pushing us along and encouraging us and stuff,” said freshmen outside hitter Maria Fruechte. “They’re really good players to look up to and learn from.”

Hahn has experience mentoring. She worked on leadership and communication skills at the USA Volleyball A2 program and helped at kids’ volleyball camps this summer.

With her experiences mentoring this summer and preseason, Hahn said she has a “less about me and more about them” attitude. One day, she hopes to turn that experience into a coaching career.

“I think if I have the opportunity I would love to [coach]. I’ve been working a lot this summer at camps and stuff and I just find myself connecting well with little girls,” Hahn said. “Christy [JohnsonLynch has] been a huge role model for me and I’d love to do something like that.”

Midwest competition For only the third time in the last 20 years, the ISU volleyball team will have away games against three of its biggest nonconference rivals.

Iowa State will travel to Northern Iowa, No. 5 Nebraska and Iowa all in September. The last time that happened, in 2009, the Cyclones won every regularseason away match against the rivals.

“It’s a lot of pressure. Those are all very tough places to play. They are all great rivalries,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “We have a pretty daunting schedule again, but I think our players have come to expect that.”

wanted to spend time with the freshmen outside of practice. Matlock showed the freshmen their new community by taking them to hand out tickets around Ames.

“This year we’re focusing more on our team culture,” Matlock said. “We’ll take them to go shopping for whatever they need in their dorm room or we’ll take them out and let them see what Ames is like.’”

Golf club enters national competition

By Jared.Stansbury @iowastatedaily.com The fall of 2013 will bring huge changes for the ISU Golf Club. For the first time since the club’s creation in 2010, it will compete against schools around the country.

The club will begin its first campaign in the National Collegiate Club Golf Association on Sept. 21 to 22, in Blue Springs, Mo., in the first of two Central Region tournaments.

“The NCCGA will be something new for the club,” said club president Adam Moline. “Hopefully it works out for us.”

Up until this year the club had been purely for recreation.

“Every week we would meet on Thursday and play nine holes,” Moline said. “We would keep score and then give prizes out to the players with the top scores the next week.”

The NCCGA, which was created in 2006, will grow to nearly 150 schools in the fall of 2013. The process of joining the NCCGA was a simple process for the club.

“We contacted the president of the association directly,” said Chase Russell, the club public relations representative. “They really took care of everything for us after

that.”

Eight players will be allowed to play in each tournament. Of those eight scores, five will be combined into an aggregate team score. It will be a process for the club to narrow down to the eight players that can play competitively.

“We will have a range day to see which guys have the potential,” said Brant Mosley, club vice president. “We will then look at who wants to play and narrow it down to 40 players for a tryout.”

The biggest goal for the club will be to field a competitive group of guys, while not getting away from the recreation side.

“We just want to find a solid eight guys, while still focusing on the other side of the club: having fun on Thursdays,” Moline said.

Another goal for the club will be to make the national tournament Nov. 16 to 17 in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Teams can qualify for the national tournament by winning their region outright, but there also is a wild card system allowing other teams to qualify. The top-10 players from each region will also qualify for the national tournament.

“I think we have a strong group of guys,” Mosley said. “We can put a good team together and get the ball rolling for the years to come.”

Western Illinois goalkeeper Laura Atkinson is one of the best in school history, holding multiple school records for the Leathernecks.

But the Cyclones gave the senior more than she could handle Tuesday night as the ISU soccer team defeated Western Illinois 2-0 in its home-opener. Iowa State is now 3-0 to start the season.

The Cyclones attacked Atkinson early and often, with six shots-on-goal in the first half and a barrage of offensive pressure throughout the game. The result was 26 shots (10 shots-on-goal), two goals and a shutout.

“The fact that we were able to hold the ball on their end, especially in the first half, it just gave our backs a break, so it made a big difference,” said ISU coach Wendy Dillinger.

The offensive attack also gave senior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe a quiet but productive night, recording three saves and her first shutout of the season. The shutout is Jobe’s 15th in her career, which is only one away from tying Ann Gleason’s alltime ISU record of 16.

Jobe credited the offense for keeping the Leatherneck defense on its heels, allowing for a steady attack.

“It starts from the front and works to the back,” Jobe said of the offensive attack. “If [our] forwards put a lot of pressure on their defense, they cough the ball up in the midfield a lot more and our defense can push up a lot more. It is a lot more organized.”

The organized attack was led again by the seniors. Midfielder Erin Green got the Cyclones on the board in the 13th minute with an assist from fellow senior Jennifer Dominguez.

Dominguez sealed the deal in the second half, scoring in the 67th minute with assists from seniors Emily Goldstein and Margaret Powers. The senior leadership was apparent with the group accounting for nearly 70 percent of the Cyclones’ shots.

Dominguez is the team’s clearcut scorer, but Green is tied with her in goals this season with two each.

Last year, Green finished with one goal in 19 games.

“It’s about time,” Dillinger said of Green. “She’s a great playmaker and that’s something she has always done well for us is create for other people. Something we really focused on in the spring with her is to start taking those chances for herself.”

The Cyclones hope to use their senior leadership to continue their undefeated streak. Using offense as defense and allowing its seniors to have breakout seasons, Iowa State has no shortage of leadership.

“It would be a bad thing if we had nine seniors and no leadership,” Jobe said. “It’s a team mostly made up of mainly seniors and freshmen, so we need to play a role and play hard as well as lead the team. I think we have been doing that the past two games or so.”

Next game

Busy summer prepares men’s golf for fall season New Performance Center facilitates Cyclone success

By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com An event-filled summer offseason for the ISU men’s golf team has bridged the gap between the spring and fall seasons.

From the opening of a new practice facility to the individual achievements of several Cyclone golfers, much has been accomplished in preparation for the team’s first meet at the Gopher Invitational on Sept. 8 to 9 in Independence, Minn.

“Everyone’s just so excited for a new year and the new facility is just incredible,” said coach Andrew Tank in regards to the new Cyclone Golf Performance Center.

The Cyclone Golf Performance Center, which opened this summer, has been an asset to players as they prepare for their five meets this fall.

“You can practice just about any type of shot here, you have so many options,” said redshirt sophomore Collin Foster. “It’s great, you almost never want to leave.”

Aside from the new facility in Ames, the ISU golf program has made a global impression in recruiting, with two of the three freshmen hailing from overseas.

Ruben Sondjaja, of Australia, and Nick Voke, of New Zealand, join Jack Carter, of Columbus, Ohio, on this year’s freshman class.

Quick hits The Cyclone Golf Performance Center opened this summer. The year-round facility has heated driving range stalls, an indoor putting/short game area, and an 800-yard driving range fairway, among other amenities.

Peter Laws has been added as an assistant coach.

In his collegiate career, Laws was voted first-team all-Mid American Conference three times at Kent State University, and was voted co-player of the year after his senior season.

Laws competed in the RBC Canadian Open, a PGA Tour event, in July.

“They’re all adjusting really well so far; they’re very excited to be here,” Tank said. “Nick and Ruben, even though they’re freshmen, have a lot of international experience.”

Sondjaja and Voke carry on the recent trend of international Cyclone golfers in joining New Zealanders Duncan Croudis and Sam Daley, as well as Scott Fernandez of Spain.

Fernandez, the 2012-13 ISU male athlete of the year, has made an international impression of his own, placing third in the European Amateur and competing for Team Europe in the Palmer Cup. “I think that was probably the most exciting experience for me,” Fernandez said. “I remember on my first day, I had Arnold Palmer right behind me on the first tee. That was a memorable experience.”

Scott Fernandez, junior in pre-business, practices on the new golf facility. Teammate Collin Foster said: “It’s amazing, the options you have. ... You can practice almost every shot.”

and Europe, Fernandez helped secure two points for his team en route to one of the more successful records for Team Europe, who went on to lose 20.5-9.5.

After the Palmer Cup in May, Fernandez competed in the European Amateur tournament in July. He placed third in a field filled with many of the world’s top amateurs.

The next week, Fernandez traveled back stateside to compete in the United States Amateur, where he would miss the cut to advance to the final match-play

rounds.

“It was a lot of travel, a lot of back and forth, but it was a good experience,” Fernandez said.

Several other players competed in tournaments nationwide throughout the summer to keep their games sharp, many of which resulted in top-10 finishes.

“I love the fact that the guys are out there playing and competing,” Tank said.

“I want them to come into the fall season and just have it be a continuation of the summer and just keep on going.”

Optimism soars in light of successes at NCAA regionals

By Trey.Alessio @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State Daily

Prima Thammaraks tries to gauge the distance to the hole during the Big 12 Golf Tournament. Thammaraks returns to the team as one of three seniors for the fall season.

This season, the ISU women’s golf team will have to find a way to seek the improvement it needs after the departure of last year’s senior leader Punpaka Phuntumabamrung.

The Cyclones are coming off of a season where they went to their fourth consecutive NCAA regional competition.

Phuntumabamrung led the Cyclones last season in the NCAA Central Regional, where she posted a first round score of 71. It was the lowest score ever by a Cyclone in NCAA regional play.

“The team is go-

ing to work really hard,” said ISU coach Christie Martens. “We want to get better than we are now and improve by May.” Seniors Sasikarn On-iam and Prima Thammaraks represent two of the three seniors on this year’s roster. Oniam and Thammaraks have been in the lineup before and will contribute to the team’s leadership.

“Anyone can lead our team,” Martens said.

This season’s team will mesh their leadership with the new talent from the addition of two freshmen.

“The three seniors will teach what we know, and we can learn from [the freshmen], too,” On-

iam said.

Expectations are high this season after making the NCAA regionals and finishing third at the Big 12 Championships last year — its best-ever finish at Big 12. But even with the recent success, the women golfers just want to continue to improve as a team as well as individually.

Thammaraks’ goals include going to nationals and winning some tournaments as an individual.

A goal for On-iam is to win every tournament as a team.

“We’re going to go out there and do our best,” Thammaraks said. “I think we have the potential to be one of the best

teams in the country.”

The Cyclones began practicing at The Harvester Golf Club in Rhodes, Iowa. Conditions have been hot and windy, but the players relish the opportunity to get back out on the golf course.

On-iam said each player had a green to themselves, which allowed everyone to work on all of their skills.

“It felt so good to get started,” Thammaraks said. “I think we all feel really ready to get going.”

The women’s team will appear on Friday, Sept.

20, in The Dick McGuire/ Branch Law Firm Invite in Albuquerque, N.M., for its first tournament of the season.

EXTRA POINTS Editor’s note: Extra Points are items of interest on the ISU football team and will run throughout the season.

By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com Tuftee waits his turn to see the field After 15 consecutive starts on the ISU offensive line, Ethan Tuftee will have to wait for his name to be called in the rotation.

The redshirt senior was relegated to secondstring at the strong guard position behind redshirt sophomore Jamison Lalk.

“It’s more that Ethan missed some days with a charlie horse above his knee and didn’t get the practice opportunities to beat those guys out,” Rhoads said of why the change was made.

“Jamison Lalk is right on pace with where a player would hopefully be in his third year in the program.”

Rhoads said he expects Tuftee to play Saturday against Northern Iowa.

Warm weather forecast for Saturday’s game Typical Iowa weather in August will be ever-present at Jack Trice Stadium on Saturday.

The weather forecast calls for a temperature of 91 degrees at kickoff with slight wind.

Rhoads said the warmer weather has been some-

thing the Cyclones have gotten used to in the week leading up to the game.

“We had a little burst of it last week so it’s not like this week is completely new to us,” Rhoads said.

“The positive of a month like this is our first two opponents — which extends over a three week time period — have been practicing in the exact same weather.”

Rhoads expects the weather to nonfactor when his team takes the field.

Todd Blythe back on the sideline, but not for ISU Todd Blythe will set foot on the field at Jack Trice Stadium once again Saturday, but will be sporting different colors.

Blythe, an ISU receiver from 2003-07, will come to Ames as a member of the UNI coaching staff as the wide receivers coach.

This will be his second season as a member of the Panthers’ staff.

“Going back to Ames, it will be a lot of fun. I’m excited just to get the first game going,” Blythe said of his return. “Obviously it will be a little different being on the other side compared to my playing days. It will be fun though. I have a lot of great memories from there, been a part of a lot of good football games and I’m thinking I’ll be a part of another one [on Saturday].”

SAFETY THROUGH

CYBERSECURITY

Photo Illustration: Riley Eveleth /Iowa State Daily

By Levi.Castle @iowastatedaily.com As new students pour onto campus, many new devices are introduced into the college ecosystem. Smartphones, tablets and PCs are only becoming more popular, and as with anything worth stealing, their safety may be in more danger than ever.

It’s called “cybercrime,” or as one ISU employee called it, “any crime that has been committed using computer technology.”

Andy Weisskopf, information security officer at the university, said that “cybercrime” is a vague term, much like “cyberwar”, and that it can be broken up into individual illegal activities such as ransom ware, identity theft or bank account hijacking.

“The offense could be as simple as someone using a computer they aren’t authorized to use, someone gaining access to someone else’s accounts, or phishing scams,” Weisskopf said.

With the university getting more connected every year with services like Eduroam and Blackboard, Information Technology Services has a lot of traffic to manage and protect.

“Any given day, we block 200 to 500 off-campus threats that are attacking university systems.

We receive roughly 30 reports a day that require a response from the security team. Threats can range from spam messages to major compromises or attacks going on,” Weisskopf said.

According to Weisskopf, one of the most significant threats the university received was in the form of a virus nearly 10 years ago.

The virus was fast-spreading and managed to shut down campus networks until Weisskopf and his coworkers could get things running again.

“The nature of that virus was that it propagated faster than the system could handle, thus shutting it down,” Weisskopf said.

If a staff member or a student were to ever be affected by

any computer-related criminal activities, Weisskopf said that the necessary actions would be determined by the severity of the activity.

“If they consider it to be a threat to health, safety or security, the ISU Department of Public Safety can do an investigation,” Weisskopf says. “To prevent these things from spurring, students can buy Kensington locks for their computers and install Microsoft’s Security Essentials, to start.”

Weisskopf said that even though the campus network is secured, it shouldn’t be connected to as a safe haven.

“It’s still the Internet. It’s ultimately up to the user whether he or she puts themselves at risk.”

According to Weisskopf, email phishing, the act of sending out fraudulent emails with links to bad websites in an attempt to steal information, is the most common issue and that it happens on a continual basis.

“It’s the bane of our existence right now,” he said. “My general advice is to be suspicious of things you receive by email if you’re not certain of their source.”

Kevin Simon, junior in graphic design, had some advice for people who use the Internet as much as college kids tend to.

“Putting your personal information out there, using the same password too many times, not having everything collective; they’re all things that give people that many more chances to grab information about you,” Simon said.

“Google Chrome can tell you if sites are safe or not, but there’s also general intuition on whether or not a site is sketchy,” Simon said. “I’ve never had any big issues with cybercrime, because I own a Mac. A lot of guys that make trojans don’t really aim toward Mac because their programs are more written for PC.” Simon suggested that using different passwords and common sense would be the best ways to ensure and maintain cybersecurity.

Mumford’s Nate Logsdon rocks the 2013 Maximum Ames Music Festival. The band is set to return for this year’s festival.

Ames plays diverse music scene

By Cole.Komma @iowastatedaily.com To some, Ames is a small town, but this small town has a large music scene that can make any newcomer to Ames feel right at home.

Some new students believe that Veishea is the only time of the year when music can be heard in Ames, but with research one can find that there are concerts almost every weekend for little to no cost.

Nate Logsdon, Maximum Ames Records owner and new manager of local bar and venue, DGs Tap House, states he has had many life-changing moments while attending Iowa State through music.

“It definitely changed my life,” Logsdon says. “When I went to Iowa State, I was studying literature so I was gearing my life to having a more academic career, but putting on shows, going to shows, knowing musicians and being in bands. … Now I have a job in the music industry in town and am professionally employed so it completely changed my life … and it was just through meeting musicians and going to shows that’s all it was.”

Logsdon also is co-founder of the annual Maximum Ames Music Festival, which this year will bring in bands such as the Zombies, the Meat Puppets and Murder By Death. In addition to the larger acts, many lo-

cal bands will be returning to play Maximum Ames, such as Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt, Mumford’s and H.D. Harmsen.

Chris Ford, director of Maximum Ames Records and frontman for local Christopher the Conquered, also states similar experiences while attending Iowa State.

“It was my entire life really, it was a huge part of my life. It kept me connected to the outside community rather than being isolated in the ‘ISU bubble,’” Ford said. “ISU really does have a bit of a bubble because you could really go to school there [and get] your entire education career and never walk off campus even. But it’s really much more enriching and valuable to be a part of the community, and be a part of something that is larger than yourself.”

Ford found a personal stress reliever in the music scene.

“In terms of my school, it definitely helped me keep things in perspective, Ford said. “People of all different ages, from different places in life and a lot of people that weren’t going to school express themselves creatively.

And to be a part of that creative and progressive piece of culture in our community, it helped give me a lot of perspective and not get super stressed out.”

Logsdon and Ford both believe it is very important for ISU students to

attend local shows.

“Demographically [it’s] a really important part of Ames. Half of Ames is Iowa State just populationwise,” Logsdon said. “It’s also really important because students come to Ames to go to Iowa State, and if they have amazing cultural experiences here and they have amazing entertainment experiences here. … They will always associate Ames not only with the little town they went to school that was kind of cute, but also has a very unique culture that people outside of Ames probably don’t know about it at all.”

For those looking for shows on weekends, Logsdon says they have to be prepared to look.

“You have to be someone who wants to have those experiences and if you do want to have those experiences and love music, and having unique experiences with other people through music, art and culture, [then] there is a whole world of culture in Ames,” Logsdon said.

“If you’re wrapped up in that bubble of school you kind of lose sense of your priorities. I think you do better if you have a little more of a world view, it really helps you stay balanced,” Ford said. “That would be my advice to anyone that’s going to college is to find a way to do something that’s not connected to the school so that you can keep that perspective and have some balance in your life.”

After Kendrick Lamar, Chance the Rapper and J. Cole turned in popular narrative albums this past year, Big Sean finally joined the party.

Chronicling his exponential rise in popularity, “Hall of Fame” uses superior producing, mainly

by No I.D., and thoughtful song syntax to create a catchy, cohesive album that downplays his usual, depthless lyrics.

Big Sean, who is from Detroit and signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music Records, announced “Hall of Fame” in January, but the eagerness for perfection delayed the release until Aug. 27. Audiences were compromised with several single releases and a tour, causing patient lust for his second studio album.

All that longevity could have been for naught if Big Sean let out a dud, but by putting his kooky spin on the typical cliché story of turning dreams to reality he avoided the sophomore slump fans are accustomed to hearing from young vocalists. Using catchphrases like “boi,” and “d-town,” Sean refuses to shy away from his bizarre modus operandi, but he also steps into new light and tells a story in the album that intrigues purist rap fans.

While select songs are grossly simplistic such as “10 2 10” and “World Ablaze,” the album functions well and is far better than his debut album release “Finally Famous.” In the song “Ashley,” featuring Miguel, Big Sean’s strength of capturing the sexual and emotional appeals of love shines. But the clear highlight of “Hall of Fame” comes from “Nothing is Stopping You” and “Fire” which happen to be the first two tracks of the album. Maybe it’s because of the struggle he endured in Detroit, or because of the way his inspirational mind works, but either way, Big Sean can illustrate the grind of becoming successful better than any other rapper. “Nothing is Stopping You” depicts the nervousness of undiscovered rappers searching for their big break, and “Fire” truthfully portrays glimpses of the fear of being forgotten.

For Sean, “Hall of Fame” has been his best project. His growth is eminent, and while lyrically Sean remains far from genius, he immerses himself in his grind and his goofiness, his two best subject matters.
