College welcomes graduates

University of

Cyence

By Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com More than 200 graduate students will be attending the two-day graduate orientation this week, exceeding the initial goal of 100 at this newly reinstated event.

The orientation is a collaborative effort between the Graduate and Professional Student Senate and the graduate college to present students with resources available to them on campus as well as provide a networking opportunity outside of each student’s respective department.

“This is just a really good opportunity for graduate students to meet other graduate students maybe outside of their area of study a little bit, to ask questions and find out more about how they can get involved and what’s going on at the university,” said Judith Strand, assistant to the dean of the Graduate College.

The orientation begins Thursday with a welcome reception and question and answer sessions with representatives from the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching, Parks Library, Student Services, Health Services, Legal Services, Graduate College and student senate at the ISU Alumni Center.

“Graduate school tends to keep you very busy, and sooner or later, any student will find a need for a particular service, so the sooner they know what services are available and where to go and how to get more information, the better it is for the student,” said Anna Prisacari, president of senate. “I think this will give them an excellent opportunity to get this information.”

The GPSS Annual Fall Social, which will be Friday at Brookside Park, has been grouped with the orientation to further the networking available through the program.

This event has been held for several years to welcome graduate students and their families.

New supercomputer expands research at 38.4 trillion bytes

By Charles.O’Brien @iowastatedaily.com A new computer has seized the title as the fastest and most powerful computer ever at Iowa State.

“Cyence,” the new supercomputer, can be found in the basement of Durham Hall and is capable of making 183.043 trillion calculations per second and has a total memory of 38.4 trillion bytes.

One second of calculations that Cyence performs would take a human 5 million to 6 million years to complete.

The computer is used to calculate large computations and to design and generate models to solve problems. It is being largely used by ISU researchers and graduate students.

“The larger amount of computing power gives you better

Enrollment means more online classes Demand grows for 299 courses offered over the Internet

Rule change requires permit for selling food on campus GSB explores solutions for regulation set

By Katie.Grunewald @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State marked its seventh year of growth in enrollment numbers, and with that growth of students comes a need for more ways to learn.

The number of online classes offered at Iowa State has been increasing the last few years.

This fall, 299 classes are offered for students to take in the luxury of their own home.

Thomas Brumm, associate professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering in charge of online learning for the College of Engineering and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, sees demand growing.

“Part of the reason there are so many online classes is because of the demand there is,” Brumm said. “Students like on online classes, and sometimes they prefer to take them over a face-to-face

course.”

Students can enroll in all physical courses, all online-only courses or a combination of both, something not offered at all universities.

ISU students enrolled in a combination of online and physical courses increased by 40 percent during the fiscal year 2012, and the number of students in online-only courses increased by more than 25 percent.

Brittany Uitermark,

sophomore in event management, has taken three online classes since she started at Iowa State.

“I prefer online classes,” Uitermark said. “It’s a lot easier to not go to class and have to sit in lecture when I can just read the lecture online.”

Uitermark had to retake a face-to-face class she had taken before.

She opted to take the course for the second

Although the Government of the Student Body does not yet have much information, it seems students are not able to sell food on campus due to a city of Ames regulation, a change from previous years. Exactly where the change in regulation has occurred is still unclear.

“I’m not aware of it being an issue in the past.

I know that a lot of groups rely on it for fundraising,” said Spencer Hughes, president of GSB. “So at this point it’s something that we’re going to need to look into and see if we can come up with a solution that either continues to allow for student groups or provides an alternate avenue for them to raise funds.”

This issue was brought to the attention of Nicholas Terhall, GSB senator for the College of Engineering, by the Society of Women Engineers when its larg-

est fundraiser, pizza sales on Fridays, was denied

by Event Authorization due to the changes in regulations.

The society has in the past brought in approximately $150 to $200 a week because of its pizza sales.

According to the city of Ames website, a vending license is required any time food is sold on public property. To obtain a license like this, proof that the appropriate State licenses have been granted or applied for must be submitted, as well as acquiring an insurance certificate and an annual fee of $50 must be paid.

Vending licenses are

only valid for one year. “[It] seems like quite a bit for a student organization, in my opinion, a student organization with limited resources,” Terhall said.

Terhall said he contacted Alex Harvey, student liaison for the Ames City Council, on Wednesday to see how GSB could collaborate with the City Council to work around this.

Harvey had no comment at this time.

GSB Senate meetings are Wednesday evenings in the Memorial Union.

Terhall said he expects to have more information regarding the matter by next week.

Studying abroad lets students immerse themselves in a different culture and allows them to interact with people who see the world differently, Nelson said.

“It’s probably the best way for students to understand the world and their place in it,” Nelson said, “The range of activities that a student might get engaged with when they go overseas to study might actually go well beyond merely studying.”

Morton joined a Bollywood dance club in Fiji because the club was looking for more international student participation.

By Michelle.Schoening @iowastatedaily.com Lisa Nolting has returned to Iowa State as the new full-time dietitian for ISU Dining.

Nolting graduated from Iowa State in 2008 with a degree in dietetics and began work as a K-12 school nutritionist Bettendorf. However, Nolting always wanted to work for Iowa State, so when a new position at Iowa State opened up she could not resist.

Nolting grew up on a farm outside of Humboldt, Iowa and always had an interest in food.

“My mom is a great cook and our family eats a lot of balanced home cooked meals,” Nolting said.

Not only was Nolting interested in food, but her interest came for nutrition as a high school student.

“I was involved in cross-country and track,” Nolting said, “So dietetics was the perfect fit for my interest in food and nutrition.”

Nolting began her career in Bettendorf, Iowa as the food service director for Pleasant Valley Schools.

“I enjoyed my job in K-12 school nutrition, but I always knew I wanted to work for ISU because I went to school here, I grew up coming to Ames often … my brother went here.

It just so happened that Iowa State is the only place in Iowa that has a Dietetics program,” Nolting said, “it is an outstanding institution located in a great community.”

Nolting reflects on the traditions she took part in as a student of Iowa State and now as an employee being able to be a part of those traditions but in a different way.

“People who go to school here, want to come back here and work, that says a lot about the university,” Nolting said.

If Nolting could choose her favorite class as an ISU undergraduate it would be food lab and the Tearoom [restaurant run by culinary science students].

“Those were really fun, mostly because we got to eat,” Nolting said.

Nolting’s position as ISU Dining program coordinator allows her to reach a variety of student’s nutritional needs on campus.

“I work with students who are on meal plans and require special diet accommodations,” Nolting said.

“I meet with the student and go over their different option by looking at the menu with them.”

Nolting doesn’t just work with the student but works collaboratively with various campus departments and student organizations to promote nutrition and wellness opportunities on campus.

“When you live on campus … there is a spot to check if you require an accommodation which will flag for the Department of Residence to ISU Dining to say that this student has a food allergy and requires an accommodation,” Nolting said.

“So a lot of times those students want to be housed on [the west side] of campus to have close access to the special diet kitchen,” Nolting added.

Nolting will be at the various dining centers throughout the month of September educating students on how to use Net Nutrition and give students a chance to get to know her.

“The field of nutrition, food and dietetics is constantly changing, nothing ever stays the same,” Nolting said.

Brittney Rutherford, marketing coordinator for ISU Dining, sees Nolting as a great asset to the ISU Dining team and who can offer a wealth of knowledge, information

and education to students.

“Learning how to eat in a way that is sustaining and can help build a healthy style is something can stay with them long after they leave Iowa State and ISU Dining,” Rutherford said.

Nolting brings to ISU Dining the ability to educate students more effectively on how to live a healthy lifestyle and understand the importance of nutrition.

“Lisa is a phenomenal person, wonderful to talk with and very approachable,” Rutherford said.

“I believe students are really going to enjoy talking with her and learning about the services she can offer.”

Duckworth got to experience the culture first hand.

“We sort of had to get together our knowledge of what we learned from our random Google searches before we took the trip,” Duckworth said.

The Study Abroad Center, located in the Memorial Union, can help students who wish to study abroad but have concerns about cost or how a program might affect their coursework.

“Students that study abroad actually graduate in four years at higher rates than students who don’t,” Nelson said.

There are also exchange options that allow students to pay Iowa State tuition; Morton’s semester in Fiji was one of these exchange programs.

Students are gaining new experiences in study abroad programs through Iowa State, whether it’s for a semester or just a few weeks.

“Students who have studied abroad, typically are a bit more independent, better able to deal with uncertainty and more appreciative of other cultures,” said Trevor Nelson, director of the Study Abroad Center.

Nicholas Morton, senior in environmental science, studied in the Fiji Islands from July to December 2011.

He took classes in geology, ocean law, pacific history and the Fijian language.

“I’ve gained a lot of new perspectives on the world, and I’ve gained a whole new way to deal with others,” Morton said.

Morton said he hopes he can use the things he learned to help with the environmental problems the country will face someday.

“Studying abroad offers a lot of classes and opportunities that students can not get if they spend their four or five years in college on Iowa State’s campus,” said Luis Duckworth, senior in aerospace engineering.

Duckworth participated in a nine-day spring break program in Florence, Italy, in 2012. There he took introductory courses in Italian language, architecture and art restoration.

“People that walk around Ames, they know where they’re going or they know where they’re at,” Duckworth said. “Over there you sort of have to talk to people. Get out of your comfort zone.”

Communication and teamwork played a big role in getting around the city. Duckworth said the locals were always happy to help them

ROTC program shows dedication on campus

By Delaney.Vierkandt @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s ROTC program is being named one of the most prestigious ROTC programs in the nation.

The ISU Army ROTC program is the top in the state of Iowa and one of the top in the country, said Lt. Col. Richard Smith, professor for military science and tactics.

“That means we’re one of the number one programs, not only regionally, but in the country,” Smith said. “Honestly, it’s because of our cadets.”

The ROTC program is run by the cadets and the group’s seniors run the day-to-day operations according to Master Sgt. Benjamin Pingle.

This year’s seniors are expected to face new experiences and a larger load.

“It has been kind of a culture shock to our new seniors this year to come to the understanding of ‘wow,’ how much work they have to do,” Smith said.

Pingle said the senior cadets are key to having a successful program.

Smith said the formula for success is that each class wants the class below them to be better than they were.

“It’s really them taking ownership of the program and ownership of the duties and responsibilities associated with that to train the underclass[men],” he said.

Pingle said he also believes part of it is the history the program has had.

“The program has been successful for many years,” he said. “Therefore, it attracts a lot of quality cadets. So when you bring in quality cadets, your standards are raised automatically.”

Members of the ISU Army ROTC wear their uniforms Wednesday on campus. Iowa State’s ROTC has been named the top program in Iowa and among the top programs in the nation.

Each class wanting to be the best in a great program like this is the key, Smith said.

“The culture of success, the culture of excellence, just permeates the entire program,” Smith said.

“They want to win, they want to be the best.

And they know that in the last years, those that came before them, have been the best.”

Students participating in ROTC learn multiple skill sets that benefit them once their careers in the military are over.

“It is the best leadership course you can take,” Smith said. “It’s not just ‘I’ll

performance and makes the models you are using more realistic,” said James Davis, vice provost for the Information Technology Services.

Davis used the example of a weather modeling to explain the type of models that could be performed with Cyence. Different types of storms can be created using the supercomputer, which allows the researcher to see inside the storm as a more detailed model.

Cyence is also faster than the other high performance computers the university has used in the past. Research can be sped up since the parameters of a model can be changed with greater ease and multiple results can be generated quicker.

Also, multiple research groups can run models on the computer at the same time instead of just one group which speeds up research.

“This is very important to the research enterprise to have this [Cyence] to carry out large scale research models,” Davis said.

“This really shortens the time to discovery.”

The process to bring Cyence to Iowa State began in 2010 with Arun Somani, associate dean for electrical and computer engineering, and his team who then wrote a proposal to the National Science Foundation in 2011. The foundation found Somani’s proposal compelling, and it decided that it was necessary to fund the computer. The computer was installed in Durham at the end of June 2013.

The foundation gave $1.8 million for

one in the fall and one in the spring, and last year, approximately 600 people attended, Prisacari said.

The orientation was designed to address the fact that not every department has an orientation for its incoming graduate students.

“If your department doesn’t do anything for new graduate students, and they don’t get involved right away with GPSS, it may take them a while to find out about the resources that are available to them here on campus,” Prisacari said.

Planning for this event, which will include speakers including Jonathan Wickert, provost and senior vice president, and Tom Hill, senior vice president of Student Affairs began in June.

The Graduate College is providing the funding to support the program, which is available to the graduate students for free.

This year Smith is especially excited for the class that is about to take control.

“It’s not about individual cadets, and this is something that I’m really excited about this year, these guys are a team,” he said.

“These guys, and I mean the [Military Science Level 4] seniors, it’s not about the individual achievements of each one, it’s ‘Wow, look what we did as a team, as a program, as a unit,’ and that’s why we’re so successful, it’s these

“This was a joint venture between the three colleges, which was very unique because you do not see this type of partnership at most universities,” said Somani.

Somani stated that even though Cyence is the most powerful computer to ever exist at Iowa State, it would not crack the top 500 list of most powerful computers in the United States.

Both Davis and Somani see Cyence as a source of pride for ISU students due to the research findings that will come from the machine.

John Pleasants, adjunct assistant professor of ecology, evolution and organismal biology, who teaches four courses this fall that are offered as online-only, but he has previously taught them in the classroom also.

“Online courses are popular, and I offer the same advice at the beginning of each course: Don’t procrastinate,” Pleasants said. “My students tend to do better in the online sections. I’m not 100 percent sure why, but you can be successful in the online section when you don’t procrastinate.”

One of the main benefits of online classes for students is getting immediate feedback from professors on their assignments.

Brumm teaches one class with two sections this fall: one face-toface and one online.

He puts in extra time to make sure the students in his online courses do not miss out on interacting with him just because they are in the online section.

The college previously had orientation events similar to this but eventually ceased having them due to low attendance.

In 2012, Iowa State increased the number of online classes it offers for undergraduate students by 30 percent and increased the number offered for graduate students by three percent.

Today, Iowa State offers 20 different online master’s degree programs and 15 graduate certificates, something unique to the university.

Enrollment is expected to be about 32,000 students this fall.

Official numbers will be released on Sept. 11 and is expected to break the record set last fall.

In addition to offering more online courses, the new Troxel Hall has been established as a brand new lecture hall for classes, and the Student Experience Enhancement Council was created.

“We created the Student Experience Enhancement Council a little while ago,” said President Steven Leath earlier this semester. “They are looking at all aspects related to the experience: classrooms, seats on the CyRide buses, etc.”

Students interested in enrolling in online classes can do so just like any other class offered at Iowa State.

“Online classes are not the only tool that us professors have at our disposal, but they’re a great one,” Brumm said.

Editorial

Textbooks burden all students In a 200-level introductory class full of mostly freshmen and sophomores, the professor began his lecture to an audience of students with notebooks open and pens crooked, ready to take notes. On the corner of nearly every desk sat a short stack of neatly piled textbooks.

In a 400-level class that contained mostly juniors and seniors, with a sprinkling of sophomores, the professor began class by reading through the syllabus. When she reached the section on required readings, she looked up and asked, “how many of you have your books already?” Not a single hand was raised.

Most upperclassmen have learned from experience not to buy textbooks the moment the complete list is released. After a year or two of spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars on textbooks, students are more cautious.

Each semester, students dread the high costs of textbooks. Whether purchased through the University Book Store, Amazon or some other retailer, the total can reach into the hundreds of dollars.

Though we cannot lower textbooks prices with a snap of our fingers, both students and professors can work together to make textbook prices more manageable on an individual basis.

Textbooks are not always absolutely necessary for a course. Often, a professor’s lectures completely overlap the reading material, rendering it more supplementary than essential. Students would be better able to prioritize their textbook purchases if there was differentiation between what is necessary and what is merely beneficial.

As of right now, textbooks are listed as either “required” or “optional.”

Unfortunately, the only books that are ever categorized as “optional” are alternative or online forms. Books that are truly optional (not necessary to the core points of the class or not used in test material) should be labeled as such by professors.

Students do not always have the money to buy all books at once and being told what is important and what isn’t would help alleviate some of the stress of financing each class.

An additional way that professors could aid students is through more careful selection of texts.

Some textbooks are sold either with or without the option of a disc that provides additional online materials. Choosing the book without it immediately drops the price of the textbook. The University Book Store is likely to stock the book with the disc and the higher price.

However, professors who know they do not plan to use the disc could choose the less expensive option, saving students money.

Finally, being able to buy the materials for a class is a student’s obligation. Purchasing all books straight out of the University Book Store is rarely the most financially sound option.

As an individual becomes more immersed in their major, they have more and more contacts who have taken the same or similar classes. By networking with friends and other students, many people are able to buy used, affordable copies of textbooks at a more manageable price.

Though experience might have taught upperclassmen not to buy their textbooks right away, we should all still be thinking about our books ahead of time. By taking the time to shop online or talk to friends who may have a copy, a student can find the best price out there for each of their textbooks.

Professors can be more careful about textbook selections and prioritization, but it’s ultimately up to the student to manage college finances.

Thinking ahead about where to get textbooks prevents students from purchasing last minute at the bookstore and from emptying already low bank accounts.

Video games as art?

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

With the constant changes in technology, video games have become nothing short of amazing in the last few years. The graphics are visually stunning, but there is something to be said about traditional games as well, posing the question: Should video games be viewed as art?

T

he Eiffel Tower. An 8-yearold’s finger painting. “Mona Lisa.” A hastily scribed poem.

Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5.

“Bioshock Infinite.” Which of these are art, and which are not?

Traditionally, art has encompassed paintings, music, sculpture and literature. In more modern times, film and animation have been added to the list. But another form of entertainment and expression has arisen and remains uncategorized: video games.

Video games are ridiculed by many as the stuff of children, a pastime that should die with a teenager’s fading acne. Despite that reputation, gaming is a form of entertainment that thrives across many age groups. But are they the cultured expressions of creativity that we general accept as “art?”

As in any medium of expression, the answer is, sometimes. Each painter and sculptor looks upon various works with a different eye. To some, a work might be a masterpiece; to others, trash. Movie critics praise works of particular beauty but denounce directors or actors who accept “paycheck roles” as opposed to more cultured work.

Similarly, it can be argued that some video games, created for the beauty of animation, storyline or soundtrack are artistic works while others are not.

Although we categorize many modern games as creative art, it has not always been so. Many would say modern role-playing games, played on a top-of-the-line gaming PC, fit the ticket of creative expression; few would say the same of 8-bit games of

By Hailey. Gross @iowastatedaily.com the 1980s.

In video games’ beginning, from the simplistic “Pong” to classic arcade games such as “Pac-Man,” technology wasn’t advanced enough to push games into the visual category of “art.” On top of being visually clunky, soundtracks and effects were chirpy and cartoonish. As exciting as these blocky, pixelated games were at the time, they didn’t compare to other art media: fine arts such as paintings, animated or live-action movies or highbrow literature. The technology just couldn’t keep up.

In the current decade, technology is at the point where the graphic quality of some games successfully mimics reality. Additionally, the music that accompanies gameplay is fluid and beautiful, more comparable to movie soundtracks than the screechy sounds of yesteryear. Each year, we see new game releases that inspire awe with the complexity of their graphics, storylines or soundtracks.

However, just because technology is at a point where it can come close to if not exceed the beauty of “real life,” that doesn’t mean that “art” is the intent of all games.

Online flash games and games made specifically for smartphones or tablets (think “Angry Birds”) hardly classify as art. Gameplay complexity is minimal; plot is usually nonexistent; graphical quality is only as high as it needs to be for the casual player to be entertained.

That isn’t to say that there is something inherently wrong with “Temple Run” or “Fruit Ninja.” Their main purpose is to entertain during short periods of time, and they do it well.

Other games, though larger in scale and with bigger budgets, could be argued are made solely for entertainment. Popular first-person shooters such as the “Battlefield” or “Call of Duty” lines both have much more enticing sound and visual effects than does “Angry Birds,” but they still fall far from what people would call “art.”

First-person shooter games have storylines and single-person gameplay that many enjoy, but with generally predictable plotlines and a gameplay focused on online player-versus-player competition, these games are more of an outlet for competitive spirit than they are a model of culture or emotional expression.

These “blockbuster” games are no less an example of the industry’s success than are more artistic creations, they simply entertain a different audience. Video games are similar to the movie industry: Some productions are made for the consumers of cultured, high-brow film where other, equally large-budget works are made for entertaining the masses.

Traditionally in the last decade, games that many would say fit the bill for being works of art are those within the genres of “sandbox” or role-playing games. These large-scale games are as much about the experience and atmosphere as they are about the end goal.

For example, a gamer could spend 100

Do not tolerate passivity on injustice

G

ender equality, feminism, racism and classism are all issues this generation has grown up with and been immersed in. For the most part, these ideas are mainstream. And while significant achievements toward equality have been made in the public and private spheres, these issues still remain.

Some may argue that these minority groups are fighting a battle that has already been won — women and men alike from all backgrounds, ethnicities and classes have seemingly equal access to education and jobs.

Others understand that this is a false sense of equality, yet accept these injustices as the norm. From my experience, inequality in regards to gender, race and class still exists and is still a problem our generation faces.

This inequality might not be as blatant as it was in the past. This past week, I was part of a discussion in a women’s studies class that addressed issues of inequality in education. In an article published in 1978 titled “Taking Women Students Seriously,” essayist and poet Adrienne Rich writes about her experiences as a woman in the classroom and her work with marginalized minority

By Kristen. Daily @iowastatedaily.com students in inner city schools.

Rich supports women’s empowerment and the need for women and other minority groups to be recognized as individuals with talent, passion and intellect.

This idea of self-empowerment is key to understanding her message. For example, Rich said: “In teaching women, we have two choices: to lend our weight in the forces that indoctrinate women to passivity, self-deprecation and a sense of powerlessness … or to consider what we have to work against, as well as with, in ourselves, in our students, in the content of the curriculum, in the structure of the institution, in society at large.”

I never have considered myself to be a passive feminist, but during the class discussion, I realized how easy it is to distance ourselves from these issues. Here are two concrete examples of how gender inequality is still present today. One, women are in the classroom and are allowed to speak their thoughts freely, yet at times their voices are limited by men. It might be unintentional, but sometimes precedence is given to male students and their opinions,

furthermore, racist and sexist comments can still be heard in the classroom.

Another issue, one that is not small, is the fear of rape that women face. Please do not scoff at this. I know that Iowa State is a generally safe campus, but I also know a lot of women who are afraid to walk alone at night. Even if the act of rape is not a reality, the fear of rape is enough to stifle women’s potential and their access to equal education.

Rich captures this in the following statement: “The undermining of self, of a woman’s sense of her right to occupy space and walk freely in the world, is deeply relevant to education. … If it is dangerous for me to walk home late on an evening from the library, because I am a woman and can be raped, how selfpossessed, how exuberant can I feel as I sit working in that library?”

This article is more than 30 years old, but it reads as if it were published today. It is still relevant and vital to the change that needs to happen if true equality is ever to be achieved.

The most concerning response I am met with in the face of these issues is passive acceptance. On several different occasions when I have spoken with female friends,

co-workers and peers I am met with the same defiant, proud attitude that some women are just above catcalls, petty comments and sexual harassment. This is not okay.

I often hear gratitude from women who have men in their lives (i.e. male friends or boyfriends) who wholeheartedly respect them. And this is truly great, I am not trying to undermine this. I myself am thankful to have a great group of male friends and a boyfriend who respect me and do not undermine my gender.

But truthfully, this is not the case for all women and minorities. Many individuals face marginalization, racism, sexism, classism and disrespect. So even if you are not personally facing these obstacles, there are still people who are. And until equality is achieved, we cannot be passive observers of these injustices.

Whether this means becoming an activist or simply speaking up against sexism and racism that you encounter, you can be a part of the change. Value and respect are vital to eradicating inequality in the classroom and in society at large. As students at Iowa State who are actively learning, we cannot tolerate passivity in the face of continued injustice.

Warfare opens dialogue to what U.S. represents Obama follows checks, balances

By Phil.Brown @iowastatedaily.com

I

f you have been following world news at all in the last few weeks, one country has surely caught your attention: Syria. While this may just seem like another rebellion halfway around the world to be forgotten as soon as the next one pops up, it has afforded a unique view into how we here in the United States deal with such conflicts.

For the many who are unfamiliar with countries that don’t start with “U” and end in “America,” Syria is a country in the Middle East that has been led by Bashar al-Assad since 2000.

Syria is in recent news because of chemical weapon attacks that have been perpetrated against its citizens. U.S. intelligence has confirmed that the attacks were carried out by Assad’s regime.

The latest of the chemical attacks killed more than 1,400 individuals, including over 400 children, said Secretary of State John Kerry. This revelation comes in the wake of continuing debate over the extent to which the U.S. should be involved in the conflict.

The knowledge that Syria’s government used chemical weapons against its people has raised an important question: Now that we know what happened, what do we do?

The White House has made their intentions clear from statements given by President Barack Obama and Kerry. In Kerry’s words: “This is not the time for armchair isolationism. This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter. Neither our country

nor our conscience can afford the cost of silence.”

Those opposed to the idea that the United States should involve its military in conflicts that pose no practical threat to our national security, such as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., have a few valid points.

Why should American military resources and personnel be used and risked to defend those who are not American? Why should we favor one militant group over another? In a much broader sense, why should we be the world’s policeman?

One might think that since this is just another Middle East conflict, like all of the others that the United States has been involved in over the preceding decades, the same arguments are being aired out once again.

In reality, this is a fairly different situation. Unlike our entanglement in Iraq, there is not a perception that Syria has the capability to endanger our nation’s security with “weapons of mass destruction.”

Also unlike the more recent conflict in Libya, in which we used military force against Moammar Gadhafi’s regime, there is no global support for military intervention — yet.

So far, France has declared itself “ready to go,” but the United Nations and NATO, two of the world’s most powerful international coalitions, have not officially supported military action. The parliament of the United Kingdom has even voted to stay out of the conflict as of yet.

This puts the United States in a position we have been in before: We are contemplating taking global action all by ourselves.

There is a significant development this time, though.

are able to take military actions without congressional approval, although only on a short-term basis.

While the Obama administration has claimed that it would have the legal authority to proceed with military operations whether or not Congress gives its approval, the fact that the White House is asking first certainly means something.

To some, it means that Obama has all but given up on being a political powerhouse in the global stage. His request of Congress can be seen as accepting the notion that he does not

have the power former presidents enjoyed, or even that he does not want it.

I choose to see the White House’s actions as something different.

Perhaps Obama’s request of Congress is an example of precisely what our system of “checks and balances” intended — cooperation between branches of government.

By asking Congress to officially give their thoughts on military action, the President is acknowledging that he is not the only one leading this country.

Such an acknowledgement is far

too rare an event in politics.

Instead of blindly charging forward with the ideas of his administration, Obama has shown the country that he will at least be taking into account the opinions of a Congress that has often been directly at odds with the executive branch.

Whatever actions the United States takes regarding Syria, it has opened an important dialogue about who we are, what we stand for, and how our government decides what we, as the most powerful nation in the world, will do.

Sigh of relief Freshmen step up, stretch winning streak to 4-0

By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com CEDAR FALLS, Iowa — The ISU volleyball team held off Northern Iowa in the fifth set after dropping two straight to the Panthers.

No. 11 Iowa State (4-0) extends its winning streak to four straight matches this season after the win against Northern Iowa (1-3) on Wednesday. “[I’m] thrilled to come out with a win. We were looking really rattled there for a second,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “I didn’t know if we could calm it back down and gain our composure. We did find that toward the end of four, and I thought five we played pretty composed.”

Iowa State started out strong with a 25-13 win against Northern Iowa in the first set. The Panthers’ offense picked up in the second set, but the Cyclones won it 25-20.

The momentum changed when Northern Iowa got off to an early 3-0 lead in the third set.

The crowd was on its feet as the Cyclones were unable to come back. The Panthers won the

set 25-21.

“I think they did adjust their block. They started digging a lot of balls, and the ball would come over and I don’t think we were quite ready for them to make that spectacular dig,” Johnson-Lynch said.

The fourth set was a tight one. Iowa State led 3-1 before Northern Iowa knotted it at four.

The fourth set had two lead changes and was tied on seven different occasions before the Panthers were able to win.

“Morgan Kuhrt said in the huddle right before we went out for the fifth game she said ‘I think we’re playing a little tight. Everyone’s shoulders are up near their ears. Everyone needs to relax. We need to have fun,’” said senior libero Kristen Hahn. “We smiled and we said: ‘You got it.’”

Northern Iowa held on in the early part of the fifth set. Iowa State managed to pull away after a kill by redshirt freshman Natalie Vondrak to put them up 6-3. The Cyclones won the fifth set 15-9.

“We kind of got a little timid there in

three and four but knowing that we still have an opportunity to win a 15 point, and I think we knew we had the energy to do that,” Hahn said.

Hahn had a season-high 34 digs while sophomore setter Jenelle Hudson had her second straight match with 50 or more assists.

“I honestly don’t even look at the stats,” Hudson said. “It’s not about that for me.

Just making my hitters really successful and watching them get that kill, that’s all I need.”

Before the Northern Iowa match, freshman outside hitter Ciara Capezio averaged 1.8 kills per set. She made 6 kills in the first set.

Capezio led Iowa State in total kills against Northern Iowa. She finished the match with 22 total.

“I think this is the first time, maybe, the fans perhaps saw what [Ciara’s] going to be able to do,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She’s still learning like most freshmen, but you got to see flashes of what she could be, and she’s pretty spectacular at times.”

Students ready, take aim, fire off hunting club

By Will.Musgrove @iowastatedaily.com For Iowa State’s recently formed hunting club, it is open season on member recruitment.

At the end of the spring semester last year ISU students Jason Dykstra, junior in animal ecology and club president, and Andrew Weber, senior in industrial technology and club treasurer, decided to form the hunting club to help students who enjoy hunting come together under one roof.

“I just wanted to get a group of guys together so we could talk about hunting, maybe share ideas and hopefully go out together and enjoy it,” Dykstra said.

However, the club can’t start hunting just yet. Before the first rifle is fired, the club must get approval from Iowa State’s Office of Risk Management.

In the Office of Risk Management’s policy, any student organizations wishing to use firearms must fill out the Firearms and Other Weapons application and meet with a risk management official. This process is in place so the university knows the weapons will be used safely and responsibly.

Once the club is a permitted to use

firearms, it wants to use university property that is off campus for hunting.

“We want to have a sanctioned hunt on university grounds that are around Ames or outside of Ames,” Weber said.

“They have a lot of research farms outside the city limits of Ames, like corn fields we could use for goose hunting.”

The club might not be hunting at the moment, but it hopes to offer members other activates related to the sport, such as safety courses and guest speakers related to the topic.

“We are going to start having speakers come in, like the Turkey Federation,” Weber said. “We would also like to have the DNR speak to us about ethics.”

How to hunt won’t be the only thing that members of the club will learn, as conservation and game management are important concepts to the organization.

“As far as the conservation aspect goes, we want to create good, livable habitats for the animals,” Weber said. “If Iowa State wants to get into it, it could be tied into their forestry and ecology programs.”

The hunting club may be in its early stages, but the club founders are excited about its future.

“I’d like [the hunting club] to be to an organization were we could go out and

hunt together,” Dykstra said. “Eventually, if we got the funds, I’d like to see the club lease a piece of ground. So when kids

come up to Iowa State, not knowing anybody, they could have a place just for club members.”

Green scores as goal getter

By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com As Erin Green stepped off the field after a 2-0 win against Western Illinois University earlier this season, there was no wiping the smile off her face.

The senior midfielder scored her second goal of the season in Iowa State’s third game, eclipsing her personal record of one goal in a season.

The answer for how she was feeling was a simple one.

“It felt really good,” Green said with a laugh.

It is a feeling Green is hoping to get used to this season as a senior and team leader.

After appearing in 56 games through her junior season, Green has tallied three goals during her ISU career with one coming in each season. In her freshman and sophomore seasons, Green’s scores were game-winning.

Going into game five of her senior season, she is one goal from doubling that total, with her three goals coming in the team’s first four games.

“This year is a little different,” Green said. “I realized it’s my last chance to do anything I want to do for the team.”

ISU coach Wendy Dillinger also noticed the change in Green, and she has no problem with it.

“The biggest thing with Erin is that she has matured on the field,” Dillinger said. “I think she has finally arrived to that point in a number of areas, not just in scoring.”

The increased production from Green sets her apart as one of the many senior leaders on this season’s squad.

One of those leaders knows Green more than just about anyone else.

Senior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe has known Green since high school, with both Cyclone stars playing on the same club team. The connection changed the players from teammates to friends to now roommates of three years.

Brian Achenbach/Iowa State Daily

Senior midfielder Erin Green attempts to pressure the Minnesota defense during Iowa State’s 1-0 loss to the Golden Gophers at the Cyclone Sports Complex on Sunday. Green said she wants to push the team to reach all of its goals in her final season.

“We didn’t talk for a long time,” Jobe said with a laugh.

“One day we just started talking and it was just jokes and everything and now we are roommates.”

Although the two work in different roles on the team, they find ways to learn from each other.

Jobe said using Green’s perspective as a midfielder helps her better defend against opponents while in the net.

Off the field, Green described herself as laid-back, which was a theme among coaches and friends.

“She’s a laid back goof,” Jobe said of Green. “She’s a very unique person and I think that’s why I get along with her very well. She’s focused and a good overall person.”

Captains run tight ship

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com A new wave of leaders is stepping in to take the reins.

Senior Samantha Bluske and juniors Maggie Gannon and Katy Moen are three veteran runners on the ISU women’s crosscountry team and have been named this year’s captains.

This is the first season in recent history that team captains were named, something ISU coach Andrea GroveMcDonough feels is an important aspect of any team.

“Being named a captain really establishes respect within the girls, and gives that extra sense of leadership within the team,” Grove-McDonough said. “It’s an honor for the girls to hold that status.

Those three really do deserve it.”

Bluske, a fifth-year senior, is a transfer student from Illinois State. She joined the Cyclones in 2011 and redshirted that season.

“The main reason I transferred to [Iowa State] was because I wanted to be a part of a program that was bigger than myself. I wanted to experience things like winning Big 12 championships,” Bluske said.

Last season Bluske earned secondteam Academic All-Big 12, finished ninth at the Big 12 Championships and was among the top Cyclones to finish at the NCAA Championships.

Since it is Bluske’s fifth and final season, she has high hopes for herself and for the team.

“I really want to finish my career with no regrets. That’s my motto this year,” Bluske said. “I think that’ll just come by devoting myself 100 percent to this team and what we want to accomplish. If we can have fun and work hard, I know we can accomplish anything we set out to do.”

Gannon and Moen bring a lot of experience to the table as well. Moen finished

When it comes to play on the field, Dillinger is hoping to see improvement in getting the Green ball, whether it’s attacking the net or being there to assist the team because of her threat as a scorer to begin her senior season.

Dillinger hopes Green can become more vocal when she is open and demand the ball more often.

With only one more shot to make a difference before graduating, Green is giving it all she has.

“I want to make a difference throughout the whole year in every game,” Green said. “I want everyone reaching our goals so I’m going to do everything I can to help with that.”

14th at the Big 12 Championships last season, and finished in the top 30 at the West Regional meet.

She was also named to the Academic All-Big 12 first-team.

Gannon finished in the top 40 at the Big 12 Championship meet and has been named to the Academic All-Big 12 firstteam two years in a row.

While the runners all say being named captain is a huge honor, Moen knows she and the team need to stay focused and not let the title change anything.

“Honestly it’s just a title. It doesn’t change who I am or who the team is,” Moen said, about being named captain.

“I’m still expecting the team to show up and compete every day and really put their hearts in it.

“Hopefully that can take us where we want to go by the end of the season.”

Stay cool.

Be cool.

Wally Burnham turned on the tape from last season’s Iowa game and showed linebacker Jeremiah George an older version of himself.

George saw a player playing fast, explosive and not second-guessing himself.

He saw a player that looked different from the one that started in Iowa State’s season-opening loss to University of Northern Iowa on Saturday.

“I didn’t do that during the game,” George said, referring to playing fast and explosive. “I don’t know if it was me trying to live up to all the hype or whatever and just not zeroing in on what I do best as Jeremiah George.”

When Burnham and the defense watched film Sunday, certain mistakes stood out. There were missed alignments and missed tackles that plagued the group.

UNI running back David Johnson broke free on two long touchdown runs Saturday, one a 37yard dash and another a 27-yard rush.

“If you don’t line up right, if you don’t tackle, it

doesn’t matter how good or how bad you are,” Burnham said. “You’re not going to win a football game.”

The defense started the season with inexperience in the front seven, and replaced junior linebacker Jevohn Miller in the second quarter with redshirt freshman Luke Knott. Knott, the brother of former linebacker Jake Knott, played the remainder of the game, finishing with six tackles and a pass breakup.

The first film session Sunday was a new experience for many on the defense.

“All the linebackers in that room are hard on themselves because we all strive to be great players,” Knott said. “When you see yourself mess up on film — usually you know, too, when it happens — you’re like, ‘Ah, shoot, I have to watch this play?’

“But it’s going to make you a better player.”

As the players watched a breakdown of the first game, taking notes along the way, Burnham saw his players humbled.

Burnham said that with more experience, improved coaching, bet-

ter tackling and the correct alignment, the defense can get where it needs to be.

“I think they were in shock that they did so badly,” Burnham said. “I hope they were embarrassed and disappointed and come back with good intentions of getting better.”

George recorded only two tackles in the loss Saturday.

The leader of the defense sat with Burnham Sunday, looking back to last season.

He also spent time talking with his coach, wondering what went wrong. “‘Coach, I don’t know,’” Burnham said George told him when they met. “I said: ‘I dang sure don’t know. You don’t practice that way.’”

With a bye week, the Cyclones have time to move forward, and George said they already are.

“We have a 24-hour rule around here,” George said. “Within those 24 hours, it was very frustrating. You look at the mistakes, and you’re like, I can’t believe I did this after working three weeks in training camp trying to master my craft.”

‘Dear Esther’ creates new world Game blurs lines, perceptions of art vs. entertainment

By Levi.Castle @iowastatedaily.com You know those games, movies or books that you experience that have you feeling light-headed from how pure they are? In other words, the form of entertainment you’re dealing with has such a phenomenal way of gripping you that you are at a loss for words? I got that feeling when I played “Dear Esther,” and the reasons why are significant examples of how to effectively tell a story in a video game.

But is “Dear Esther” a video game? Some people like me are torn on the issue. Others sway heavily one way or another, either certain that it can’t be called a game or else positive that it has to be.

The debate comes from what “Dear Esther” brings to the table: a simple, two to three hour story that only has the player holding the “w” key to move forward. When described like that, it doesn’t sound like much of a game. But after playing through “Dear Esther,” I was so invested in the story and visuals that I had no problem with how little input control I had.

“Dear Esther” tells a story that you’re likely to not understand in just one round through the four chapters. I’ve beaten the game four times and still don’t completely get some angles. I feel like a large part of the story is for the player to link together themselves.

The whole island you’re trapped on has an enormous amount of mystery within its rocks and shores, and it does a great job of making you feel as awestruck and uninformed as your slow-moving character

probably does.

Put simply, the island is meant to have the aura of an afterlife, or at least that’s how I felt about it. I came to that understanding because of what I took away from the story. As you traverse the island’s hilly cliffs and cavernous trenches, an English-accented voice gives you the background story of an incident that directly involves multiple characters that keep being referenced, such as a man named Donnelly or Esther herself.

Imagination is key to experiencing “Dear Esther.” While a lot of the story is explained via the voice, the island doesn’t directly reflect what’s being told to you. If the spoken story were to be omitted, someone who didn’t explore the island to its fullest would have no idea that the mentioned incident the story revolves around ever even happened.

This separation between the story and the environment would hurt most games, but it brings something special to “Dear Esther.” Certain parts of the monologue only trigger when particular parts of the island are walked through, and these change within each play-through. On my first time playing, I heard different parts of the story than I did on my fourth time. This, too, lends to the notion that it’s up to the player to make story links and conclusions as they progress.

My favorite part of “Dear Esther” is its visual presentation.

I know in the past that I’ve hailed many games for being some of the best visual experiences I’ve ever seen, but none come close to how I felt when I played “Dear Esther.”

The game is based off of Valve’s Source engine and is one of the very few titles I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing on the platform. Let me tell you, if the next version of Source is any

“Dear Esther” breaks the mold by grabbing gamers attention for a chilling ride through creepy caves and waterfalls. Reviewer Levi Castle calls the game “an unusual adventure” and “quirky but [with] brilliant storytelling.”

better than what “Dear Esther” looks like, it’ll probably look better than real life itself.

The graphics of the game are astoundingly detailed without requiring a lot of computer hardware to render them. My gaming PC is dated and had no problem maxing out “Dear Esther”’s visuals, which included superb foliage and water effects/detail.

Caves literally glow with different colored light; waterfalls sound like you’re right there and moonlight reflections on a shipwrecked shore feel so real that I sometimes didn’t realize the narrator was talking. It’s about as immersive as you could ask for, and the complete lack of a user interface on screen helped that feeling.

The sound design is also

fantastic. In addition to the aforementioned waterfall and ambient noises, the songs that play while you explore give such a creepy, yet angelic feel to the game. The soundtrack came with the game when I bought it, and I highly recommend looking into it if you enjoy instrumentals combined with a woman who possesses an outstandingly beautiful voice that’s full of atmospheric emotion.

My jaw still drops every time I walk through the island that “Dear Esther” is set upon. I still don’t completely understand the story, and holding “w” for three hours can get bothersome, if just for my sore middle finger (luckily, it supports a 360 gamepad, so control schemes can be remedied and you’ll get carpal

‘Orange’ has twisted humor

Avenged Sevenfold keeps on rocking

By Jordan.Mains @iowastatedaily.com The concept of a comedic drama that takes place in women’s prison is probably not very appealing to most, but the Netflix original series “Orange Is the New Black” definitely delivers.

The Netflix exclusive TV series has been available for instant streaming since July 11, 2013. It stars Taylor Schilling, Laura Prepon and Jason Biggs. The show was created by Jenji Kohan, who is also the creator of “Weeds,” a which aired from 2005 to 2012 on Showtime.

The show begins by showcasing the lives of the recently engaged couple of Piper Chapman (Schilling) and Larry Bloom (Biggs). It is early on in the show that we find out that Piper has been convicted and sentenced to 15 months in a federal prison for a crime that was committed more than a decade ago. While she didn’t actually handle any drugs, she did transport the money for her drug-dealing girlfriend, Alex Vause (Prepon). Piper didn’t expect her role in the drug ring would come back to bite her later on, but it happened.

Piper’s fiancee Larry goes through some stressful times as he waits for Piper to be released.

During Piper’s time in prison, she

“Orange is the New Black” is a Netflix series that brings comedy from a women’s prison. Its success comes from its mix of comedy and drama.

struggles to find her place where she belongs.

Her main struggle is because she doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the women who are very illtempered and maniacal.

Piper is very frightened her first few days in the prison because she really doesn’t know what to expect. She eventually does make a few friends and connections along the way. The show lives up to its genre of a comedy-drama because it is a funny series that takes many sudden twists and turns each episode.

tunnel a little slower than using the keyboard).

But the enormous amount of positivity I came away from “Dear Esther” with easily trumps the few odd things about it. I got the game when it was $2, and it was so worth it. Because there’s a good chance it’s not the game for you, I’d wait for it to go on sale in Steam, which it does frequently.

“Dear Esther” is an unusual adventure. It’s quirky but brilliant storytelling, bar-raising visuals and overwhelming sense of mystery catapulted it into an instant classic for my game library. In my mind, it deserves every award it got.

Another concept that makes the show interesting is that we get to follow the stories of how many of the other women also ended up in prison.

“Orange Is the New Black” has already been renewed for a second season and is currently being filmed.

It has not yet been confirmed when exactly it will be available for streaming, but stay tuned to find out.

Avenged Sevenfold’s name is a reference to Cain and Abel, found in Genesis 4:24, and like many of their previous albums, the lyrics of “Hail to the King” are dark and fantastical using many terms found in modern church vernacular.

They read like the religious text of a cult.

Musically, this album is solid. Almost every song has at least one guitar solo worthy of ending up in a “Guitar Hero” video game, if any more are ever made.

Unique to this album is the integration of their new drummer, Arin Ilejay.

Much of his drumming is less intense and elaborate than the drumming of their original drummer James

“The Rev” Sullivan, who died in 2009.

The drumming on this album is one of many ways “Hail to the King” is a departure from and part of an evolution from Avenged Sevenfold’s old sound. This album features much more accessible metal/hard rock.

The songs would be perfect for anything from an intense study session to the soundtrack of an action/ sci-fi flick to a mosh pit.

What keeps this good album from being a great one is its repetitive nature. One song blends into another to the point where it’s hard to tell most of them apart, excusing the two slower love ballads “Crimson Day” and “Acid Rain.”

There are a few surprises on this album, including tolling bells, low brass and a Latin choir, but they aren’t enough to break the monotony in the middle of this album.
