Future farm progress ISU leads presentations at biennial show in Boone

Local music scene rocks Ames venues

Just a few miles away from Ames — at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, to be exact — may lie the key to many future ISU graduates getting employment.

The Farm Progress Show, according to its website, is “the nation’s leading outdoor farm

show and features the most extensive stateof-the art information and technology available for today’s agricultural producers.”

Pioneer is a huge employer for Iowa State, said Julie Kenney, communications manager for Pioneer, so the Farm Progress Show sees a lot of ISU alumni working around the area of their alma mater. According to an article in USA Today: “DuPont Pioneer has been a top employer of College of Agriculture graduates for the past two years.”

Kenney said Pioneer is looking to get an influx of ISU graduates hired within the next

few years.

“There’s a huge talent pool, and we’re looking at hiring 4,000 employees over the next five years, so we’re really looking at Iowa State for all those positions,” Kenney said.

This year, there are approximately 577 exhibitors at the Farm Progress Show.

Exhibitors range from seed producers such as DuPont Pioneer and AgriGold Hybrids Seed Company, to machinery such as John Deere and Case IH, all looking to get the

ISU panel discusses ‘Fifty Shades’

By Frances Myers Daily staff writer A panel will be discussing the best-selling “Fifty Shades of Grey,” by E.L. James, at 7 p.m.

Thursday, Aug. 30, in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

A panel of ISU scholars will be discussing the book libraries in Minnesota and Florida have refused to put the book on their shelves.

Panelists for the panel will include: Brenda Lohman, associate professor of human development and family studies; Dometa Brothers, assistant professor for English; and Lynn Carey, interim director of Ames Public Library.

The communications director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, Veronica Lorson Fowler, will be moderating the discussion.

The discussion is an early part of Banned Book Week which is Sept. 30 to Oct. 6 of this year.

2012 marks the 30th anniversary of Banned Books Week.

According to the American Library Association: “Banned Books Week is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read.”

Books that are featured during Banned Books Week have all been removed or restricted from multiple libraries.

ISU agriculture graduates expect booming business

Academics

Placement rates near 100 percent

By Kayla.Schaudt @iowastatedaily.com The job market has been tough in recent years, making it a surprise when any major has a near 100-percent placement rate after graduation.

However, agriculture business majors have accomplished just that.

In 2012, 55 of the 57 agriculture business program graduates at Iowa State found jobs while the remaining two graduates went on to pursue higher education. These students have been studying the agriculture community from a business angle, such as finance or public relations.

Ron Deiter, professor of agriculture economics, said 15 percent of graduates who got jobs went back to work on a farm, 25 percent went into sales, 15 percent went to management and the rest were scattered across a number of areas such as marketing and insurance.

The students continuing onto graduate school usually study law or economics. Selling and trading seed is a huge part of the sales sector that so many students go into. Seedrelated business is a strong section of the agriculture industry. Pioneer and Monsanto, two huge seed com-

National News Notes and events.

Scientists work to make organs become cyborgs The day may come when transistors in our bodies help us live.

Scientists are working on a futuristic tissue engineering venture to grow better solutions for damaged or missing organs. They published their findings in the journal Nature Materials this week.

The idea is that you could create tissue or an entire organ, implant it in the body, and keep tabs on inflammation, rejection and other health indicators, said Robert Langer, study co-author and professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“This is a way to sort of create an organ and at the same time monitor how well it’s doing with biosensors,” Langer said.

Other groups of scientists have been working on growing organs outside the body. In June 2011, a patient received a synthetic windpipe, which had been made using stem cells from the patient and no donor tissue.

Langer’s group is putting a new spin on the organ-growing concept by using silicon nanowires. These wires, with diameters about 1,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair, have a fine electrical sensitivity, capable of detecting less than one-thousandth of a watt of power.

This research is still in its early stages; it’s nowhere near ready for hospitals. The next step is to try it in animals, and eventually humans. The testing will take “several years,” Langer said.

Making a “cyborg” organ in this way involves constructing a polymer scaffold with silicon nanowires embedded. Cells are then “seeded” on the scaffold, similar to how grass grows from seeds.

When placed in a bioreactor, more cells grow on the structure to form the desired tissue or organ. In this study, scientists successfully constructed cardiac, neural and muscle tissue.

With the cardiac tissue, researchers used the sensors to examine the response to the substance noradrenalin, which can speed up heart rate.

Through the sensors, scientists were able monitor pH changes of the blood vessels that they also grew.

With more technology and research, Langer said, the tissues could potentially be wired to release a drug in response to negative events.

This all may sound complicated, but Langer expects that if the technology becomes commonplace in human patients, it would be cheaper than a heart transplant and the long hospital stays associated with those kinds of procedures.

Search for new dean aims to be ‘all inclusive’

By Elizabeth.Polsdofer @iowastatedaily.com The process of selecting a new dean for the College of Engineering is underway. On Tuesday and Wednesday were forums for students, staff and faculty at Iowa State to express what qualities they would like to see in the new dean.

“We’re in the process of choosing a new dean and I think it’s very important for everyone that is part of the Iowa State community to express the qualities they’d like to see in the new dean,” said Richard Wlezien, professor and chairman of the department of aerospace engineering.

“This is the time to do it.”

Selecting the person who is right to fill the big shoes will be a long and arduous process.

The search committee has been working hard since its creation before summer to find a dean.

“This is a very important search, the engineering college and the work that all of you do is important and so it’s a key priority of this year to name the next dean of the engineering college,” said Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost and former dean for the College of Engineering. “We were able to get a fairly quick start on the process. The search committee was named at the end of springtime, and the committee has been active over the summer in laying a lot of the groundwork so that we can really hit the ground running and make very good progress here in the fall.”

The amount of effort that goes into the search committee is extensive. More than a hundred potential deans have been contacted

Schmittmann, who has been with the college for only six months, said during her interview process she heard consistently the college needs more faculty members, increased salaries to remain competitive and most of all to build an identity for the college.

All three will be key issues during her tenure, she said.

Schmittmann also said she envisions several key research fields that will give it an identity within the academic world.

While the idea is still in its infancy, suggestions for the areas of focus are complex

About the search As of Wednesday, Wickert said 127 persons have been contacted as potential candidates Wickert, former dean for the College of Engineering, went through a simliar process before becoming senior vice president and provost of Iowa State All ISU students, faculty and staff are encouraged to give input on qualities they would like in the new dean Nominations are still being considered for the dean for the College of Engineering

by the search committee with the numbers expected to grow as the search committee continues to receive nominations.

“As of yesterday, we’ve had 127 names that the search committee has already been in contact with,” Wickert said. “One of the real messages that I and the search committee want to get out to you, and in turn ask you to carry out ... is right now the name of the game is to build a pool.

Schmittmann said ideally all of the programs within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences would participate in the program by encouraging students and scholars to contribute to the proposed areas; however the five specific areas are still up for debate.

After the event, Schmittmann said that her first six months have been “a great experience and a real challenge.”

Among the most challenging aspects, she said, was dealing with the sheer size of the college.

“Names, faces and personal stories take a while [to

memorize],” she said. “I tell people I’m on this spiral, and each time I go around I get a little bit deeper.”

After the state of the college address, Arne Hallam, the college’s associate dean, introduced and welcomed new faculty. This year the college has a net gain of 11 new tenured or tenure-track positions.

This is welcome relief for the college as the past two years have seen net losses of 20 positions in 2009 and 29 positions in 2009.

Finally, awards were handed out for various achievements including acknowledgements for outstanding teaching, endowed chairs and research achievements.

successful.”

In finding his successor, Wickert has emphasized the proactiveness required in the search for the new dean for the College of Engineering.

“I’ve made it very clear to the search committee that the search is important and their charge is to search,” Wickert said. “It’s not a screening committee that is passive, that sits back and waits for people to apply, but we know that the outcome of searches is the best when it is proactive and the top individuals in the pool are

usually strongly recruited to apply and strongly recruited to come here.”

Wickert and Wlezien strongly emphasized that the culture of Iowa State is to encourage input from all parts of the Cyclone community.

Persons who are interested in giving their input on what characteristics they desire in a dean are welcome to put their opinions forward.

“We’ve got a long tradition here of being very inclusive, allowing faculty, students and staff to participate in the decision-making process,” Wlezien said. “We always have all three groups represented on our search committees.

When I came here the search committee that interviewed me had participation from all these groups. ... If people want to influence the process they have got to weigh in their needs and their concerns.”

“Whether we’re in a recession or not, we still have to eat, and the demand for food will always still be there,” Gaul said. “Because of this, the students that get in are going to have the chance to climb the corporate ladder a lot more quickly than any other generation out there. All of that out there is just going to really ignite the need for students in this field.

>>PROGRESS.p1A word out about their innovations to potential customers.

Kenney said one of the finer points Pioneer was pushing at this year’s Farm Progress Show was in regards to the drought that has farmers in high stress mode about their crop production.

“One of the big things that [Pioneer] is showcasing is, obviously 2012 was a very tough growing season, so we’ve got Optimum Aquamax products on the market today, which provide drought tolerance, so we’re catching a lot of attention from farmers seeing the conditions they’re facing this year,” Kenney said.

Kenney said Pioneer’s agronomy team was at the Farm Progress Show helping customers figure out what to do for the 2012 season and how to prepare for 2013’s growing season. The Farm Progress Show is one of Pioneer’s biggest trade shows they attend.

“It’s an opportunity for us to meet with customers, help answer questions, give them a glimpse of some of the experts,” Kenney said. “It’s a nice opportunity to have all those people in one place so if anyone has a question, it’s really helpful and it also has people start thinking about 2013.”

Visitors come from all over the United States as well as abroad to experience everything the Farm Progress Show has to offer.

According to The Des Moines Register: “The biennial Farm Progress Show will attract more than 200,000 visitors from the U.S. and 40 foreign countries.”

Iowa State’s College of Design was also present at the show, showcasing the Smithsonian Folklife Festival Exhibit.

The Farm Progress Show was the last stop for the exhibit, which was also displayed in Washington during the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in late June and early July, as well as the Iowa State Fair Aug. 9-19.

“We’ve definitely been seeing a lot of people,” said

Bobbi Kruckenberg, program assistant in the design administration at Iowa State. “I was not there when we displayed it in Washington, but I was at the Iowa State Fair. It’s a little

different crowd because we’ve been seeing a lot of foot traffic, but it’s more people just passing through and not stopping to explore the exhibit so much.”

Iowa State’s Beginning Farmer’s Center booth was right next to the Smithsonian exhibit. David Baker, extension program specialist for the College of Agriculture, spoke

with visitors who were interested in what the Center was all about.

Unlike many of the visitors in Boone, Baker did not have the opportunity to grow up on a farm. Yet he was one of the many farmers who traveled from near and far to attend the annual Farm Progress Show.

“I grew up a ‘town boy,’” Baker said. “I got involved in 4-H and FFA, though, and I wanted to be a farmer. Now I’ve been one for 35 years. I fought the odds.”

“You don’t have to grow up on a farm in order to become a farmer,” Baker said. “You just need to have the drive to get through the rough spots and to compete.”

The Beginning Farmer’s Center was started in 1994, developing from a series of discussions with legislators and extension personnel, as well as many other people concerning what could be done to encourage new farmers, according to its website.

“The Beginning Farmer’s Center really focuses on

farmer succession,” Baker said. “We work with farming families to help them prepare their children to be successors. We have a lot to do with Iowa State students as there are quite a few who come from family farms or live in rural Iowa and have interests in pursuing farming.”

Baker said the Beginning Farmer’s Center has multiple programs dealing with farming such as the Ag Link seminar, as well as a newer program, Farm On, which matches older-generation farmers with beginners.

Baker described Farm On as a database in which information about retiring farmers who do not have any heirs to carry on the family business, is compared to the information put into the database about beginning farmers who might have a desire to pursue farming but lack the financial means.

Baker also said there are usually students who are interested in Ag Link, which is a seminar for ISU juniors and seniors who have an interest in joining their family farming operations after they graduate.

“Last year we had about 12 students and their families join us for the seminar and we help them figure out how they want to enter into the operation,” Baker said.

The Farm Progress Show will be in Boone again from Aug. 26 to 28, 2014. It is always hosted the Tuesday through Thursday the week before Labor Day.

Country

President’s campaign is lacking Nothing can dash the hopes of winning political office like political realities.

The landmark national election of 2008, which saw the election of Barack Obama as the first black president, also saw the largest voter turnout in the under-30 demographic since 1960. Approximately 131 million Americans overall turned out to vote, which was about 5 million additional voters over the previous presidential election in 2004, most of whom were comprised of minority demographics.

Lots of folks have cranked the numbers since then, from the Census Bureau to nonprofit political think tanks like Brookings, and the general consensus is that more than threequarters of registered voters aged 18-29 actually did vote. CivicYouth. org claims that 87 percent of college students voted in 2008.

For all intensive purposes, virtually everyone who was of traditional college student age voted in 2008.

President Obama had an historically fantastic grassroots campaign that was rivaled only by Republican challenger Congressman Ron Paul.

Obama’s campaign was based on the cliches of “hope” and “change,” but ultimately was about an idealization of the American political process that appealed to a lot of disillusioned Americans who were sick of war and runaway government spending.

But what about this year?

A recent Gallup poll suggests only 58 percent of registered voters in the 18-29 category intend to vote, down about 20 percent from 2008.

Maybe that’s because this is the lamest campaign, totally, like, ever.

So far this year, the Obama campaign has made a patchy record of getting back to us. Interestingly, on a conference call with college journalists after his appearance here, no Iowa State Daily journalist got a chance to ask a question of him. Four years ago the slogan was “Hope and Change,” and today it is a stale “Forward,” no matter how disorganized or haphazard that movement may be.

The electricity of his campaign is gone. Thousands of students packed Central Campus on Tuesday, but the fact is that he is now forced to campaign on uninteresting micro-issues.

What else can we call speeches about Pell Grants and student loan interest rates? Ideals and policy are almost never the same, and ideals are much more motivating than the minutiae of specific policy proposals.

To be sure, he may defeat Mitt Romney in November. If he does, though, it will probably be by default: Romney as a person fails to inspire many people, and his rhetoric fails to unite big ideas with eloquent words that sound good. On the other hand, Obama himself fails now to do that.

There is no place like home Cities excite, but country life always belongs in our hearts

By Randi.Reeder @iowastatedaily.com

ecently, I had a conversation with someone where the fact that I grew up on a farm came up.

“Argh, the country. ... I just don’t understand why someone would want to live out there,” this particular person said. “It is sooooooo dark and sooooo quiet. I feel like a scene from Capote’s ‘In Cold Blood’ is going to unveil.”

At this I had to smile and laugh. That’s how I feel while living in the city, except for the opposite reasons: It’s not dark enough, there’s too much noise, and I feel like I’m in Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” with all the damn crows that live in Ames.

I’m more than just your average homegrown farm kid. I’m not one of those “yeehaws” that never got off of the farm. I went to a 1A school and a 4A school. I have lived in Ames off and on and I spent the fall semester of my sophomore year in London, one of the largest cities in the world, with a population of nearly 8.1 million people. My verdict? Living in town does not measure up to the country.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I have always enjoyed the city and what it has to offer. After graduation I thought I’d move to the Big Apple for a job since that is where most of the good jobs are for my degree. What I didn’t realize is that growing up out on the farm affects you more than you think. After a semester in the largely populated city of London, I learned that

the country runs through my blood.

Unlike the person who described being terrified by being so far away from society the one night spent in the country, I am more terrified being in town with my neighbors across the hall than I am being all by my lonesome out on our family farm. I’d rather walk alone on my gravel road in the pitch black dark than walk on a busy street with lights in Ames — although I will say one time a raccoon who also went for a midnight stroll turned my walk into a run.

Maybe it’s not better, but it takes a certain kind of person to live on their own in “the middle of nowhere.” Certain talents are needed such as entertaining yourself and being able to rely on only yourself most of the time.

I find that I am more independent than my city counterparts. If something needs to be done, then I go ahead and do it whether I want to or not because of growing up on the farm.

Maybe you don’t feel like getting up in the morning with the dew still on the grass to feed the cows, or combining into the wee hours of the night, but no one else is going to pick up the slack for you and most won’t complain about it either like the city folk do.

There are challenges and things that are undesirable with both types of living situations, it just depends on what you want to deal with.

For instance, smells.

I would rather deal with the smell of ma-

R

nure, or what a lot of country folk like to refer to as “the smell of money” than of the stench from plants like the one Des Moines is currently upset about.

Noise.

In London, the noise never stopped. Ever. It did get quieter, but I still heard the trash truck come by while in my sleep — and every night in my sleepy daze I thought it was my dad coming into the drive back home with the combine.

Lights.

Never was there a time of pure darkness.

Stars? Nope. Forget ‘em. Oddly enough, to avoid my crowded street after class in London at night, I would go on this poorly lit street, without anything but a couple of bars with a few locals and business professionals still in their ties and heels having a beer after work. I didn’t realize how dark it was until some fellow ISU students were walking with me. They were terrified someone was going to jump out from the shadows. I didn’t get that feeling. It was quiet, there were less people, and it gave me a chance to gather my thoughts.

Both options have their own pros and cons and although I’m giving my shout-out to my fellow country folk, I know that it also takes a certain type of person to love the city life. For me, being in the city all day is fine with me, but when the day is done, the country road will take me home — and like the song, that is the place where I belong.

Knowledge

Much more than ‘just a theory’ N

o, it’s not just a theory. The word “theory” is one of the most misused words in the English language. This argument stems from the religious argument about evolution, but far too many people, university students even, throw the word “theory” around as if it stands on the same ground as “opinion.” My recent column about warfare was not a theory; it was an opinion. I make this statement because by university students and associates of professors and scientists, “theory” must be respected.

The National Academy of Sciences defines “theory” as: “A comprehensive explanation of some aspect of nature that is supported by a vast body of evidence. Many scientific theories are so well established that no new evidence is likely to alter them substantially. For example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the Earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales (the theory of plate tectonics). One of the most useful properties of scientific theories is that they can be used to make predictions about natural events or phenomena that have not yet been observed.”

A theory is the outcome of a successful hypothesis. Saying “it’s just a hypothesis” is an acceptable yet cautious statement; saying “it’s just a theory” doesn’t even make sense. The order of the process of the scientific method is as follows: ask question, do research, create hypothesis, experiment, analyze results. If the results back up the hypothesis then you have a theory; if not, then you must return and reconstruct your hypothesis.

We have the theory of medicine, the theory of gravity and relativity, and the theory of evolution by natural selection, to name a few examples. A scientific law is not the same thing as a theory — and we certainly do not promote laws from theories. Laws are principles used to substantiate theories. An example of a law would be that of a formula, such as Bernoulli’s Principle of fluid dynamics. Both theories and laws are considered to be scientific fact. For example, Darwinian natural selection is the

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com theory to the law of evolution. Natural selection explains through testable and replicable experimentation and scrutiny the principal fact of evolution.

This falsity of words is so prevalent that it’s even found on biology textbooks. Selman v.

Cobb County School District was a 2006 court case involving warning label stickers placed on all biology textbooks. The stickers read: “This textbook contains material on evolution.

Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered.” The original ruling was this violated two areas of the Constitution, citing religious reasons but also because it was

logically false. The case was appealed and eventually settled out of court in favor of Selman.

As a well-established science and technology institution here at Iowa State, we must pride ourselves on upholding the fundamental underpinnings of the scientific method. Not only is it important in our future careers, but it’s important in everyday understanding of the world with which we live.

While most of the above was an argument against the falsifying of the word “theory,” I also argue that we must be careful how we use it in regular language. It is an important word as far as humanity is concerned, and using it poorly only perpetuates its misconception.

Theories literally are what we know about anything. All knowledge we have about the universe is in theory. Theory is the ultimate goal in science, it is the end game every scientist strives for.

Theory is the spire of human intellect continually piercing the atmosphere of knowledge.

Relationships

Love has changed in society’s view Original intents get lost in shuffle of modern speech

A

fter sitting through a church sermon about the qualities of love and forgiveness, I began to notice the way people act toward one another.

From this sermon, I learned that love is willing to wait instead of demanding. Love doesn’t hate. Love doesn’t brag. Love isn’t stuck up. Love lets others have their turn. Love doesn’t insist on getting all the credit. Love doesn’t lose its temper. Love doesn’t hold grudges. Love doesn’t keep thinking over and over again about how someone hurt you. Love looks out for the interests of others.

Love keeps on expecting the best. Love doesn’t give up.

Society has compromised

By Devin.Edds @iowastatedaily.com these views on love. On a college campus, the hardest thing to do is accept everyone you meet.

Coming from a small town, I know that judging others comes more than easily to us as human beings. We are attracted to those most similar to us. We seek out likenesses in the world around us. These likenesses or commonalities we find are what cause us to form friendships, relationships, acquaintances, etc.

This trait of judging those we meet continues with us as we make our way into the world on our own. While universities bring together people from all different aspects of life, it is solely the individual that must choose to accept the differences we find.

The traditional definition

of love used to entail a “strong affection” or “admiration” of another — the “unselfish concern for the good of another.”

In today’s world, Society has created a new view on love. This is the definition of “attraction based on sexual desire” or the very act of “copulation.”

Love no longer means peace, friendship, hope, faith and trust — all emotional things. Love now is presented in an ultimately physical way.

Love used to mean doing things out of the kindness of our hearts in order to help those around us. Love fostered tolerance. Love understood that people are unique — each of us in our own way.

Society today claims that love is now the act of engaging in physical matters rather than matters of the heart.

What is it that has created this change? A shift in our standards as human beings?

A decline in the importance of religion on our daily lives? A complete revision of the way we think and view ourselves?

Whichever way, there has been an immense loss of love in our society.

Where has the love gone?

Will it ever return?

The word has become easier to say, but has lost all meaning. The media has changed the way it portrays the very sense of the word.

This occurs in commercials, the values presented in common TV shows, the stories reported on the news, and the press coverage we all see on a daily basis. The public and society would rather hear about the latest sex scandal than the latest heroic deed. These are common facts we all experience in our daily lives.

When looking out into the world, one should expect diversity, and one should look forward to such diversity.

There has been an immense loss of love in our society. Where has the love gone?

Will it ever return? The word has become easier to say, but has lost all meaning.

Instead, we form cliches; we hate, we outcast. The world is full of people who come from all different backgrounds, adversities, and challenges. So why should one judge based upon appearance? Upon social or financial stance? Upon race, creed, nationality, gender, or beliefs?

Why must we despise someone just because they are different? Why must we even acknowledge the mere fact that someone is different?

It’s psychological. The way we’re programmed — scientifically speaking; we search for others like us. On a moral stand; we do so because society wants us to. We live to

find meaning. We live to have purpose. How can we have purpose without this Love?

Love must find a way back into our hearts. Love must allow us once again to accept those around us, because, without this love, our successes as a species would have been all for nothing. Love is for each individual to decide.

However, without the traditional sense of the word, our world would fall into utter chaos. Thus, leaving us wondering if there ever were love to begin with.

Letter to the editor

Religious beliefs inevitably affect our votes Faith and politics not so easily untwined While I understand and respect the assertions of Gabriel Stoffa’s recent column, “Don’t let belief in God co-opt your voting decision,” I believe there were some flaws in his, and for that matter, many people’s rationalizations on religion and politics.

Stoffa argued our religious beliefs should not affect American politics, on the basis that our founding fathers laid down a constitution separating religious and government institutions. As such, politicians and voters should not let theology enter into the current discussions on ethics and justice.

I do, to a certain degree, sympa-

linguistics.

thize with this viewpoint. Theocracy restricts freedom of thought and expression, and religious institutions should not be in complete control of the government.

However, completely separating religion from politics is as impossible as separating opinions from politics.

Religion is not simply an identity, like a race or a flag. It is not simply a private ritual performed to make people feel warm and fuzzy, nor is it a community for the sake of a community.

A religion is a belief system that deeply affects our appreciation and rationalization of the world.

A religion is a belief system that deeply affects our appreciation and rationalization of the world. A religion is a basis for defining, explaining and giving purpose to reality. Everyone believes something.

A religion is a basis for defining, explaining and giving purpose to reality. All world views, “religious” or not, seek that same goal: figuring it all out.

Everyone believes something, even if it’s simply the superiority of objectivity and empiricism, and all of our beliefs, whether or not faith in the supernatural is involved, are go-

ing to affect our view on morality.

No matter who you are, your views on the origin and meaning of life are going to define your views on marriage, abortion, the death penalty, incarceration, money, health care, immigration, war and the general role of government. That’s going to effect how you vote. There’s no getting around that.

When our founding fathers forbade Congress from making laws regarding the establishment of religion, their purpose was to prevent the government from controlling religious belief and practice.

Allowing people to vote based on the morality dictated by the beliefs they already have is not theocracy; it’s democracy.

If 60 percent of American citizens believe in a certain moral

principle established by a common religious belief, that’s going to inevitably affect legislation. Democracy becomes theocracy when those who disagree with the majority are no longer allowed to voice their disagreement without fear of punishment.

Romney and Obama feeling obligated to share their religious views can be a good way for the average citizen to know if they can trust the moral systems their leaders follow.

It’s not theocracy.

When Congress passes laws requiring membership in certain religious institutions or actively silencing those who protest laws that are ethically and philosophically controversial, then we have a problem with the separation of church and state.

Armstrong still says he’s 7-time Tour de France champ MONTREAL — Lance Armstrong introduced himself as a seven-time Tour de France champion at a cancer conference on Wednesday.

“My name is Lance Armstrong.

I am a cancer survivor,” he said to open his speech to the World Cancer Congress.

“I’m a father of five. And yes, I won the Tour de France seven times.”

Armstrong announced last week he would no longer challenge the U.S. Anti Doping Agency’s drug charges against him. USADA threw out his competitive victories dating to 1998, which would include all seven Tour wins.

Armstrong, who has maintained his innocence, focused on his experience as a cancer survivor and the work of his charitable foundation.

He said he struggled to get enough information following his diagnosis in 1996.

“After I left the doctor’s office, I was grabbing every pamphlet and flyer I could off the wall,” he said. “You know what we did after that? We went to the bookstore — remember those things.”

Armstrong also announced his foundation would donate an additional $500,000 to a joint initiative aimed at increasing access to cancer care around the world.

Triclones gear up to race

By Mark Specht Daily correspondent There is excitement among ISU Triathlon Club members as they begin a year that is guaranteed, by schedule alone, to be different from past years.

“It’s a very exciting year; I’m very much looking forward to this year,” said Kristopher Spoth, club president and senior in electrical engineering.

Spoth, who is in his fifth year with Triathlon Club, said the club typically competes in one or two events in addition to the Collegiate National Championship each year. But this year, they will have more races to compete in.

“This year [the Midwest Collegiate Conference] has started a new thing where our conference has a series of races through the summer and early fall,” Spoth said. “This year

I think we’re planning about four or five trips to races.”

The club, nicknamed the “Triclones,” currently has approximately 30 student members. Because the Triclones are a club, members are not required to attend practices, which take place throughout the week.

“We typically set up several practice times for each sport — swimming, running and biking — a week, and we try to get multiple times in so it works with people’s schedules,” Spoth said.

In conference races, only the top four male and female finishers from the school are scored, but there is no limit to the number of entries the team can have.

The Triclones are planning to put on three fundraising races this year: the CyMan sprint triathlon in the fall, the InCYdeman indoor triathlon in

late January or early February, and the Doughnut Run 5K in early April.

The club is open to any student who wants to join, although Spoth does admit that the sport of triathlon can be expensive for those who are interested in competing. Spoth said the club is supportive of those who want to get involved.

“I’ve got to admit it’s not for everybody, but we try to accommodate people of all abilities,” Spoth said.

“We understand that some people are just there to stay fit. Some people are interested in maybe becoming elite athletes.”

The Triclones have resources for those who may shy away from joining because of the financial cost.

“There are a lot of people who wouldn’t be able to do [triathlon] because they couldn’t afford a bike,” said Seth Long, senior in kinesiology and health. “We have club bikes that

aren’t top of the line; they’re not highend, but they’ll get you from point A to B on the course, and we let you train on them.”

Long said the club also provides wet suits for its members as well as transportation to conference meets.

Team members also have access to a 25 percent discount at Bike World as part of the store’s sponsorship of the team.

Kyle Weis, senior in chemical engineering, said the Triclones do take time off the sport every month for a nontriathlon-related social events.

“We’ve done bowling trips; there is talk about doing paintball,” Weis said. “There is just all sorts of stuff.”

Last Saturday, the Triclones competed in the Maple Grove Triathlon, where they took the top male and female spots. Their next race, the Hy-Vee Triathlon, will take place this coming Sunday in Des Moines.

Secondary seeks out similar success

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com Jansen Watson is fast. In fact, he is very fast.

On Tuesday, ISU defensive coordinator Wally Burnham said the redshirt junior is most likely the fastest cornerback the team has ever had in the Paul Rhoads era — even faster than his predecessor Leonard Johnson.

“He can fly and he’s faster than Leonard and because of that, potentially he’s got more upside,” Rhoads said of Watson. “Leonard was a very good cornerback, Jansen’s becoming a good cornerback but because of that speed; he’s got a chance to be better.”

Watson will get his first start on Saturday, Sept.

1, in the team’s game against Tulsa for the first time without four-year starter Johnson, who is currently on the roster for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Without Johnson, and strong safety Ter’Ran Benton, many questions have arisen regarding whether the ISU secondary will see similar success.

Johnson and Benton were key contributors to the defensive production, helping the team’s pass defense (73rd) rank higher than the rush defense (95th) or overall defense (98th) in 2011.

“I think we’ve improved just like everybody in the program has improved,” said junior safety Jacques Washington. “We’re faster, stronger, and I think we’ll make more plays than the DBs did last year.”

Washington and cornerback Jeremy Reeves are the returning starters for the unit, having combined for 160 total tackles last season.

Ninety of those tackles were tallied by Washington, who has taken more of a leadership role on the team in the transition to this season.

“He’s taking the game more seriously right now,” Burnham said. “Last year was his first year starting and playing a lot. I think he’s tried to carry his game to the next level.”

Burnham said Washington has improved in not getting beat by receivers as well as his open-field tackling heading into this season. Washington said his main goal is to make more plays on the ball, having nabbed one of the team’s 11 interceptions last season.

As for the cornerbacks, Reeves and Watson are

Recruiting trails

Tulsa ties

Coach Paul Rhoads said he began recruiting Jansen Watson in 2008 when he was a defensive coordinator at Auburn.

“Coach Rhoads offered me when I was in 11th grade,” Watson said. “Then when he moved to Iowa State, I got an offer from them but then I found out he was the head coach. It was weird, but then I [saw] he had a lot of trust in me.

“It just felt good that he was the type of coach that stayed with me throughout the whole process.”

Safety Jacques Washington was recruited by Tulsa out of high school having hailed from nearby Owasso, Okla.

Current Tulsa coach Bill Blankenship had his eye on Washington from his time as the coach of Union High School, which played Washington’s Owasso High School regularly.

“I like the school, it’s a good place and it was about 10 minutes away from home, but I really wanted to get out of the state,” Washington said. “There was a chance I could go there and it’s a pretty good school academically and football-wise, but I’m here at Iowa State and happy about it now.”

at a disadvantage in terms of size. Reeves stands at 5-foot-7, 176 pounds — 1 inch shorter and 11 pounds lighter than Watson.

However, Burnham said timing and technique are just as important as size when it comes to defending the pass.

“I’ve been working my butt off for over three

years playing behind Leonard,” Watson said. “But you just sit back and get all the information, make sure technique is right. ... So once you go out there, you’re ready to play.”

Soccer

Battle continues for starting goalie

Photo: Huiling Wu/Iowa State Daily Goalies Andrea Swanson and Maddie Jobe push each other toward improvement on their goaltending for the ISU soccer team.

By Morgan.Fleener @iowastatedaily.com As the 2012 season unravels, sophomore Andrea Swanson and junior Maddie Jobe continue to prepare themselves for answering the lingering question: Who will be the first person to step foot in the goalie box to start each game?

Breaking down the 2011 season, Jobe was the team’s No. 1 keeper by just two matches with nine starts to her name. Swanson was able to make her mark, starting in seven matches.

Jobe, native of Eden Prairie, Minn., has been able to accomplish a variety of new marks in Cyclone history, tying with the school record with seven shutouts. She set records for future Cyclone goalies to break in goals-against average with 0.79 and had a save percentage of 867 in the 2011 season.

A former goalie at Valley High School from Clive, Iowa, Swanson joined the Cyclones in the 2011 season to see 803 minutes of action to kick off her first year as a collegiate athlete.

At only a year behind, Jobe said she believes Swanson has helped her both physically and mentally in individual preparation for fulfilling her job and duties of being the current starting goalie.

“She’s definitely the biggest competition I’ve ever had on any team I’ve played for, and it’s fun to compete against one another,” Jobe said. “Day after day, we don’t know who’s going to have the starting job so we know that we have to show up ready to do our best every single day.”

Having recorded a season-high of seven saves against No. 2 Oklahoma State in 2011, Swanson is back for the 2012 season with her one year of experience. She said that experience has helped her continue providing essential strengths in the goalie box.

“It’s definitely always a competitive environment at practice, and we just go out there every day to push each other so we can be the best no matter who’s on the field,” Swanson said.

Coach Wendy Dillinger said it has been both a competitive and supportive connection made

2011 player statistics No. 32 Maddie Jobe Starts: 10

No. 00 Andrea Swanson Starts: 8

Playing time: 907 minutes Saves: 52 Shutouts: 7 Goals-against average: 0.79

between the two, as they are both fully committed and invested into the program and their position. “[Jobe and Swanson] are very talented with different strengths to bring to the team,” Dillinger said. “The battle is very even, and it’s an interesting spot as we can only put one of them on the field.”

Jobe believes the Cyclone defense overall has progressed significantly since the beginning

Playing time: 803 minutes Saves: 35 Shutouts: 2 Goals-against average: 1.68

of the season, where she feels the team had a bit of a slow start.

“So far, the highlight of my season has definitely been being able to finally watch our defense come together, especially after the Virginia Tech game,” Jobe said.

The capabilities of Swanson and Jobe will continue to carry on as a major role in how far the Cyclones will progress as the 2012 season continues.

These artists all need venues to showcase their talents, and Ames has them.

Music

Local artist gets chance of lifetime

Midnight

By Dominic.Spizzirri @iowastatedaily.com For Patrick Fleming, performing is just another part of his everyday routine.

But on Tuesday, Aug. 28, the former Ames resident found himself playing for thousands of Iowa State University students who went to see Obama on central campus.

The 31-year-old rocker got a call about a week ago and received the offer of a lifetime to play as an opening act before Barack Obama took the stage on Tuesday.

“A friend who is organizing this was asking if there was a person who could pump up the crowd,” Fleming said. “My name got tossed around and Barack’s people called me.”

Fleming had to go through a background check before being allowed to officially open the show.

“I got numerous calls from Washington, D.C. and the head committee for Obama in Iowa. Everything came down to the last minute,” Fleming said. “The whole thing took about a week.”

Fleming was given a 20-minute solo acoustic set to pump up the crowd before Obama appeared. His set consisted of songs from both his band, The Poison Control Center, and his solo project, Gloom Balloon. And despite his bandmates being scattered across the United States, Fleming said they were with him in spirit.

Fleming said his songs were meant to inspire people to be a part of Obama’s campaign and to be excited to possiblly have him as president for another four years.

Fleming said he hopes Iowa is a state that follows Obama.

Gamers queue up for latest releases Photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily Patrick Fleming, of The Posion Control Center, performs on Tuesday on Central Campus before Barack Obama’s speech.

Fleming’s bands are not unfamiliar to political crowds, though. The Poison Control Center played for a John Kerry event in 2004, as well as other large crowds.

Fleming said he is also an avid Obama fan, having voted for him in the last election.

“I’ll always remember my first Obama moment. I was playing in Chicago when Iowa gave him the caucus,” Fleming said. “We stopped the show just to announce and celebrate.”

Obama is more than just the right candidate for Fleming, however; he is also an essential part of his and his wife’s lives. Fleming’s wife, Ashley Tape Fleming, has

Type 1 diabetes, and Obama’s healthcare plan has been a big part in helping her.

“His health care plan that he has presented to the Senate has helped us a lot,” Fleming said.

Fleming said he hopes to see ISU students come to see Obama the same way he does, and he said he was honored to play for a president he is proud of.

“I don’t expect to meet him or anything, but if that happened, that would be awesome,” Fleming said Monday night. “I just hope I can do my job to pump up the audience.”

Both The Poison Control Center and Gloom Balloon are planning releases in 2013.

Early launches of video games entices players

By Levi.Castle @iowastatedaily.com

Midnight struck and the gamers flocked. GameStop’s Monday night release of several major titles had nearly 50 video game enthusiasts inside its store on Lincoln Way. As tends to happen at midnight video game launches, gamers were arriving as early as 10:30 p.m. at the store. Passing the time at a launch can be difficult for some gamers, who just can’t wait to get their hands on the newest entry, but early arrivers Monday night had the pleasure of discussing their favorite pastimes among themselves while the clock

counted down.

Quinn Koch, sophomore in religious studies, was at the launch to obtain his copy of “Madden 13,” a yearly NFL title that is widely known as the most popular pro football video game franchise.

“I’ve known the game since about 7 o’clock this morning. It’s an impulse buy,” Koch said.

Despite his spontaneity that night, Koch has been gaming since the days of the Super Nintendo. He even attends numerous midnight launches in Marshalltown’s GameStop as well as Ames’.

“I try to make it to as many as I can,” Koch said. “I love being a gamer because it lets me escape into any role that I play.”

Taking on the role of someone or something could be applied to almost any game, but another that

launched Monday night in particular actually revolved around that concept. “Guild Wars 2,” the highly-anticipated sequel to the original, was released to all who didn’t already have early access.

As two lines formed in the store when 11:50 p.m. rolled about, “Guild Wars” and “Madden” fans separated into queues spanning the entire floor. Cheers and exclamations sounded through the crowd as midnight crept closer and anticipation mounted. When the clock hit midnight, the lines began to move as each gamer received their copy; most having paid beforehand during pre-order.

Leaving the store significantly faster than they entered it, the relieved crowd left the parking lot not five minutes after midnight, eager to get home and play what they’ve been waiting for.

Culture

Campus museums offer escape Photo: William Deaton/Iowa State Daily The Christian Petersen Art Museum, located in Morrill Hall, showcases both permanent and changing exhibits. The museum’s admission is free, though a donation is suggested.

By Patty.Clark @iowastatedaily.com The museums on campus are places where students can relax, enjoy art, hang out with friends and get in touch with history at Iowa State.

Iowa State has five different facilities on campus that make up University Museums. Opened in 1975, the oldest is the Brunnier Art Museum, which is within the Scheman Building. It offers annual and seasonal art events and exhibits.

Every Sunday, it hosts a game day, where anyone can relax in the museum, play games and spend time with friends.

The annual events are during the winter season, starting in November, and features holiday exhibits within the museum. Another annual exhibit is in March, titled “Brunnier in Bloom,” where local florists come

into the museum, pick out a piece and then create an interpretation of that particular piece through a floral arrangement.

The second location is the Farm House Museum, which opened up to the public as a museum in 1976, although it was built in 1860 and is the oldest structure on campus. Before becoming Farm House Museum, it was a home to Adonijah Welch (first president of the college), James Wilson (secretary of Agriculture under President McKinley) and Charles Curtiss (dean of Agriculture from 1902-32). In 1940, it was given the name “Farm House” and was used as a practice home for the home economics department for women.

In 1976, it was restored back to its original state and then used as a historical museum. An annual event called “Haunted Iowa State,” happening this year on Oct. 24, involves

the Farm House Museum. It is one of the main sites that becomes haunted, and the willing can explore history in a frightening way.

The third museum is not in any particular building. The Art on Campus Collection is “the largest collection of public art on any university in the country, housing 650-plus major works,” said Nancy Girard, educator of visual literacy and learning at University Museums.

The collection includes all of the art work and murals inside buildings, as well as sculptures outside. Monthly art walks give tours of all the pieces of all the pieces on campus while telling their stories. These walks are focused on galleries inside buildings, murals and outside art.

The fourth facility is the Christian Petersen Art Museum, which is located in Morrill Hall. It opened in 2007 and is named after the Danish-

American artist Christian Petersen, who was the first permanent campus artist-in-residence at Iowa State.

Petersen taught classes and sculpted at Iowa State from 1937-55. The museum has a mixture of permanent and changing exhibits in the galleries.

One of the current galleries is titled “Post-Pop-Redux,” which features the artwork of Andy Magee, a contemporary artist from St. Louis.

The pieces are made from unusual objects. “He likes to deal with social issues, politics, religion, war and pop culture, but overall, how much we as a society consume,” Girard has said.

On Sept. 27, there will be a reception for the exhibit where Magee will do a temporary installation out of toast. Magee will speak at 6 p.m. for the free event, and the reception will continue until 8 p.m. The exhibit will end Dec. 14.

The fifth and final location is

the Elizabeth and Bryon Anderson Sculpture Garden, which includes all of the sculptures surrounding Morrill Hall. It opened in 2008, and its purpose is for gathering and the enjoyment of art and nature. The garden was given to Iowa State by Elizabeth Anderson in memoriam after her husband Byron died.

Another form of art featured in the garden is the Artful Yoga class.

The free yoga class is cosponsored

by Recreation Services. It takes place at 5:20 p.m. every Wednesday starting Sept. 12 and continues until Thanksgiving.

Whether you are looking for relaxation, games, receptions, yoga classes, or just want view art and learn about some history, University Museums has it all.

For museum hours, exhibits or other information, contact University Museums.

Jacob Fritz

By Levi Castle Ames247 Writer Jacob Fritz, a junior in the animal science program, is just as busy in the virtual world as he is in the real one. As one of the presidents and founders of Iowa State’s very own “Minecraft “Club, Fritz’s passion for the extremely popular video game has helped the club’s servers become a hangout that fosters creativity and fun for any interested students.

Can you talk a little about what the “Minecraft” Club is?

The ISU “Minecraft” Club is a group of students who like to play the game “Minecraft.”

“Minecraft” is an open world building/sandbox game; I often call it Legos for adults.

And that’s essentially what it is; you can take all these different sorts of blocks and create structures. We’ve had people create skyscrapers on our servers, we’ve had people make cathedrals, we’ve had people dig out huge caverns and make these secret underground laboratories.

“Minecraft” is only limited by the imagination of the person playing it.

Can you tell me how it came to be that you are the president of the club?

The other president, Keith Abel, first introduced me to “Minecraft”; I had no idea what it was until the fall of 2010. We lived in the same residence hall; he came up to me and said “Dude, you’ve got to check out this game called ‘Minecraft’!” He showed me the game from there.

Last fall, Keith had built a server for people that could get on and play “Minecraft” together, and we kind of started talking about the idea

Know a student who would make an interesting profile?

Let us know at ames247@ iowastatedaily.com

of “Hey, ‘Minecraft’ is a pretty popular game, why don’t we see if there are other people on campus who share this interest?”

So, we started sending out messages to people about the first meeting, for which about 25 people showed. Quite a few of those people have stayed with us through this first year of the club.

So far this year, I’ve had two freshmen join.

With ClubFest coming up, I hope that number just skyrockets.

Do you have any current projects you’d like to talk about?

Right now, our server has 8GB of RAM; we’re currently maxing that out. We can’t really have any big projects right now, as we are maxing out our system with 20 people. However, one of our big projects that we’ve always talked about was recreating campus inside this video game. Not quite 1:1, but more of a feel. A feel sort of based on if you’re walking and say “Oh, I’m actually walking next to Gilman,” or “I’m actually walking next to Curtiss Hall.” We’ve already decided we’re not doing any of the halls because they would literally be 2 by 3 rooms with 2 beds in them; that’s all it’d be. But that’s one of our big projects.

Another we’ve thought about doing is — as it’s an open-world zombie survival that comes with mods — getting a few different servers up once we have the funds so people can jump on and play with the people they want to.

What are some requirements to be in the club?

One requirement is that you need to have some interest in “Minecraft.” We are more than open to people who have even the slightest interest.

Other than that, there’s the university’s minimum GPA of 2.0 to be in a student organization. We have club dues ($10 a semester), and attending the meetings every once in a while is important.

Album review

Schoolboy Q’s new album feels ‘smoky and viscous’

By Samuel.Abrahms @iowastatedaily.com “Habits and Contradictions,” the prequel to 2011’s “Setbacks,” was released earlier this year but received little recognition. The album is several months old, but don’t let that turn you off as it is deeply rooted in outwardly superficial yet inwardly multifaceted themes that go deeper than the audible message.

Born Quincy Hanley, known to all as Schoolboy Q, this rapper seemingly jumped into my peripherals after his collaboration with A$AP Rocky on “Brand New Guy,” a cut off of Rocky’s most recent street album, “LiveLoveA$AP.” While his discography already spanned a few mixtapes (“Schoolboy Turned Hustla & Gangsta & Soul”) and an album (“Setbacks”), his sound has been relatively unpredictable, shifting between smooth funk, throwback hip-hop and trippy drug hymns.

Ultimately, “Habits and Contradictions” serves the purpose of revealing why the German-born rapper has had so many “setbacks.”

As “Sacrilegious“ begins rising through the speakers, I find the ruminating and tormenting production alluring.

The darkness of the track as a whole is quite memorable and a first half stand out in my mind.

The deeper theme is evident and is pretty refreshing and unique. This is an impressive opener.

Label mates Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, and Ab-Soul make appearances, but it’s A$AP Rocky who steals the spotlight on the “Hands On The Wheel.”

Sampling Lissie’s cover of “Pursuit of Happiness,” the song unintentionally angered some by coming across as an endorsement of drinking and driving.

Jump back to the idea of this album being a prequel to “Setbacks” and it becomes clear that the apparent “meaning” of the track is not as obvious as it may seem.

Alongside Q, Dom Kennedy and Curren$y hop aboard “Grooveline Pt. 1” and sensually express their openness as to how they treat women over a Marlena Shaw sample. It’s a slower track, but there’s nothing wrong with a laid-back easy-listen every once and a while in my book.

“Nightmare on Figg St.” and “There He Go,” as well as a majority of the other tracks, have a somewhat menacing smokiness that viscously

Photo: Courtesy of Interscope Records

seeps through the pauses in between each verse. Hanley’s tone on ‘There He Go” is oddly sarcastic (maybe even mocking), and yet I find it very invigorating to the senses.

During an interview with Global Grind earlier this year, Hanley admitted that he isn’t one for following rules when it comes to music.

To him, music becomes something else as soon as you begin following a set of guidelines for making records.

It’s not an atypical method of thinking about composing music, but it’s quenching to hear an artist put it at the forefront of his message.

The themes may be rough to some, but I support what it means to Hanley. Feel free to pick up this record and let me know what you think.

Fun Facts The poinsettia is named after former congressman and ambassador Joel Poinsett, who introduced the plant to the United States in the 1800s.

The Harlem Globetotters were originally a Chicago based team (1927).

They did not play a game in Harlem until the 1960s.

It Happened One Night (1934), One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) and The Silence of The Lambs (1991), are the only films to grab all 5 major Oscars (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay) at The Academy Awards.

The third most-used language in the United States is American Sign Language.

When you crack a whip, the tip is moving faster than the speed of sound. That is why it “cracks” instead of “wooshing.”

Gremlins was one of two movies to influence the start of the PG-13 rating. The other was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

The poinsettia’s red petals are actually leaves.

Of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, 3 fell due to earthquakes, 2 due to fires, 1 probably never even existed, and only one stands today—The Pyramid of Khufu.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black Today’s Birthday (08/30/12) The last decade has taught you what’s truly important. This year launches a new creative era, in which your community and collaborations provide resources, and where your career reaches new heights.

Pay it forward, and grow the love.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7 -- Who are you going to listen to, your doubts or your dreams? If you hear the music, dance, even if others question your moves.

Finish up old projects today and tomorrow.
