Rival fans join together to fight cancer Both Hawkeyes and Cyclone fans came together at the biggest football game of the year in a show against cancer.

People were sitting and waiting ready for some football when someone in a crowd began to dance. More joined as people in the parking lot watched. This was Random Acts of Dancing’s Take Down Cancer flash mob.

“I just wanted everybody to have a good time and I wanted to make a YouTube video for NFCR,” said Dietz, referring to the National Foundation for Cancer Research.

White had two touchdowns and 35 rushing yards to aid the Cyclones in a 44-41 victory over the Hawkeyes in triple overtime.

Cyclones pull off win in long, tense game

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com Sixty football minutes, three overtimes and one broken Cy-Hawk trophy later, Iowa State left Jack Trice Stadium a winner against Iowa for the first time since 2007.

The Cyclones took home the interim trophy after a 44-41, tripleovertime win Saturday.

“I don’t have trouble finding words very often,” said coach Paul Rhoads.

“But I had trouble in the locker room, and trouble right now, because of the unbelievable performance of not just one team, but two teams out there.”

Iowa State overcame three fumbles and two missed field goals to beat Iowa in what was described by many as one of the best experiences of their football careers.

“This is the greatest game I’ve ever been a part of,” said quarterback Steele Jantz. “Because, for me, the gratification I get is how many people were affected by it, and how many people are so happy about it and how much it means.”

Jantz, who played a lot like a former Cyclone quarterback from California, made several plays in crunch time, racking up four touchdown passes, with 279 yards on 25of-37 passing. He and teammates Kelechi Osemele and Shontrelle Johnson led the Cyclones in a game that will be remembered for years to

“This is hands down the greatest game I’ve ever been involved in,” Osemele said. “It was close the whole way; it was a dog fight. You don’t really get games like that too often.”

Tuftee “pancaked” an Iowa lineman onto him, and said “there was no way I was staying out” after the injury.

Johnson, who rushed for 108 yards on 18 carries, felt a sigh of relief getting the win, as he fumbled with 9:34 left in the second quarter as the Cyclones were driving. The sophomore also expressed the emotion that it was the greatest win of his career.

Photo: Huiling Wu/Iowa State Daily Students light candles to commemorate those who died in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, during the ceremony on Central Campus on Sunday.

Three thousand tiny American flags representing each person who gave his or her life in the attacks lined the sidewalks surrounding the pathways of Central Campus last night for Iowa State’s “9/11 Decade of Remembrance.”

Patriotic music played to a slideshow of the iconic twin towers as students, community members and pets filtered in to remember Sept. 11, 2001. White candles were passed out to all in attendance for lighting at the end of the ceremony.

Megan Wiley, senior in chemistry, was a student in attendance. She said it was “important to remember 9/11 and recognize those service men and women who gave their lives.”

“My dad is in the Army and my fiance is in the Air Force ROTC. I am here to support both of them,” Wiley said.

“Central Campus is a great place to honor those who gave their lives in the attack. Because it is such a central place on campus, it is encouraging for both students and community members.”

The Iowa State University Cyclone Football “Varsity” Marching Band played the national anthem to start the memorial.

“Euphoria” was the top-selling Latin album of 2010. The refreshed collection is due out in November.

Photo: Kait McKinney/Iowa State Daily At 9:10 p.m. attendees of the remembrance event on Central Campus lit candles and had a moment of silence for those who died in the events on Sept. 11, 2001. Those with candles then walked from Curtiss Hall around Central Campus.

>>VIGIL.p1 Dakota Hoben, president of the Government of the Student Body, spoke during the event.

“I still remember where I was on Sept. 11. Still today, we don’t understand why that had to happen,” he said.

GSB Vice President Jared Knight said a few words after Hoben.

“There has not been a day that has evoked more emotion or severed as a greater call to action than that day,” Knight said.

Jesse Larson, campus minster of Collegiate Presbyterian Church, offered a multi-faith prayer for the audience emphasizing that we are all humans serving for the betterment of humanity.

As the evening fell and the memorial continued into the night, two search lights, similar to those that highlighted the twin towers at ground zero in New York City, became more and more apparent to the audience, creating a beautiful triangle with the Campanile in the center.

Memories ranged from being in third grade to 10th and all students urged each other to remember the fallen and understand that it’s not about race, creed or country of origin. Sept. 11, 2001, was a time of great sorrow for the United States of America and the blame should not be focused on a particular group.

Lisa Heddens, Iowa state Representative from the 46th District, started off saying she “did not come to speak about political parties, but as a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, American.” She recounted her experience on that fateful day,

ending by saying, “I hope that we always remember the acts of heroism of 9/11.”

Sen. Jack Whitver recalled that he was preparing for the big Iowa-Iowa State game the week of 9/11. He shared that “it is a much bigger world, than ‘the big game.’ On Sept.

11, there were no Democrats, no Republicans. We were Americans.”

City of Ames Mayor Ann Campbell thanked the students for involving the city in such a momentous event. She shared that this night was a time to “take a break for everyday and to take time to sit back and reflect mentally and emotionally.”

“In Ames, 9/11 did and still does have an impact,” Campbell said.

She mourned the death of Ames’ Tim Haviland, who was killed in the attacks.

Terry Mason, assistant vice president for student affairs, remembered that “even those in Iowa felt the shock.”

He recalled that the number of visits to the counseling center increased after the attacks, explaining that in “such an un-

precedented event like 9/11, it takes time to make sense of it all.”

“It is significant that this Day of Remembrance is run by students. Most of the undergraduates don’t remember a time when there were no troops on Iraq, there was no Homeland Security, and this may feel like the norm,” Mason said.

The keynote speaker, Col.

Craig Bargfrede, commended all the students who shared their personal experiences with the audience.

“The events changed our country. Sept. 11 has shaped our lives and ourselves,” Bargfrede said. “I believe that what shocked us the most was that our way of life was attacked.”

He explained that our way of life that allows us to have dif-

ferent religions and freedom of speech was attacked.

Bargfrede closed by asking, “Let us resolve to never forget and to remain true to freedom and democracy.”

The program ended in silent remembrance. Students held lit candles and followed the American flag path through Central Campus as taps was played.

Editorial

Football win teaches how to compete Today the Daily congratulates the members of the ISU football team for their win Saturday. The 44-41 victory in triple overtime — the first overtime incident in the Cy-Hawk football series’ 59-year span — was truly inspiring.

The last time Iowa State won against Iowa was in 2007. We did so without setting foot in the end zone, but rather kicking an impressive five field goals. This time, our offense was able to finish its drives at the goal line rather than the 15-yard line, as we did in 2007. Between 2007 and 2009, we did not score one touchdown against the Hawkeyes. On Saturday, we scored six.

Kicking five field goals just doesn’t feel the same as earning six well-executed touchdowns. Kicking a football over a crowd of black-and-gold linebackers doesn’t deliver the same effect as scoring six touchdowns by outmaneuvering, outpassing, and outmatching the play their defensive line offered.

We can all take a lesson away from Saturday’s game. Our economy may not be growing, unemployment may be stagnant, graduates may find it harder to get a job, and voters might be turned off by polarized politics and politicized patriotism.

But if we show up, if we compete with those people that try to get the better of us, if we give the struggle our best effort, we’ll win.

Victory requires action. It is not nobler to suffer the slings of arrows and outrageous fortune in your mind only. The sea of troubles can be ended by taking up arms against them, by opposing them. Plans and ideas must be put into practice to take any effect. We should be bold, choosing to chance a touchdown in triple overtime instead of preferring the safer field goal.

Iowa State is a university. We learn here. Our campus is where companies and government agencies run experiments with new, bold, determined ideas. Our football team’s boldness and skill can be applied to any of those ideas. With that boldness and skill come success.

We all have a stake in the solution of our world’s problems. Sorting out the economy isn’t something we should leave solely to high financiers and economists. Restoring political honesty shouldn’t be left to political science majors. Use your talents, whatever they are. Harness your energies for something beyond your own gratification — solutions will neither present nor carry out themselves.

Show up on the field, and play the game. And if you go into overtime — keep playing, whether you’ve been there before or not. The struggle is the glory, and the achievement increases with the effort you put in.

Liberty and justice for all?

Detaining of combatants after 9/11 ignores US law

F

ollowing the events of Sept. 11, 2001, fear became the driver for the United States military’s actions. The nation and the military wondered, “Who are these foreign men who would kill themselves in an attempt to murder thousands of Americans?”

“Are there more of them?” “How can we stop them?”

In an attempt to gather as much information as possible as quickly as possible, the Pentagon and the White House decided that any valuable individuals they captured in Afghanistan and other areas abroad would be labeled “illegal combatants” rather than “prisoners of war” — allowing the military to argue that the Geneva Convention protections for prisoners of war do not apply.

They quickly set up and began using a camp on the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in southern Cuba to hold and interrogate prisoners captured abroad. The base was designed to specifically be outside of the jurisdiction of the United States court system, where the military could use an executive order from George W. Bush that prevented mainland courts from hearing Habeas Corpus writs (legal demands to be taken before a court) from prisoners and the base’s remote location to hold prisoners indefinitely.

If you take the time to read some of the 20,000-word part III of the Geneva Convention relative to the “Treatment of Prisoners of War,” you will quickly realize that a number of these “minimum requirements” for the treatment of prisoners, including restrictions on close confinement and transportation from a war zone for starters, have not been applied to prisoners at Guantanamo. And these are just the minimum requirements.

Have we, as a nation, stooped so low in our fear that we are not using humane requirements above those of the convention, but instead figuring out the best legal ways around this cornerstone of international law?

Former President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney had no problem supporting the detention of illegal combatants at Guantanamo

By Rick.Hanton @iowastatedaily.com Bay without trial as a way of preventing terrorism, and it seems President Barack Obama is following suit today. After initial campaign calls for the immediate closing of Guantanamo, Obama made strides toward removing unnecessary inmates from the prison, but approximately 200 prisoners remain.

Obama’s attempts to move the remaining inmates to federal prisons on the mainland were foiled by Congress, which eventually passed legislation expressly barring him from using any funds to move the prisoners from the base in Cuba. That legislation was tied to a defense authorization bill, so like the debt-ceiling debate, Obama was forced (blackmailed, some might say) to sign the bill including the Guantanamo provisions or else the military would not be paid.

In my mind, while there are many choices the government could make to deal with Guantanamo, there is only one correct choice.

That choice is to evaluate all detainees and set court (or military tribunal) dates for any inmates that have sufficient evidence against them. If there is not enough evidence, which is the case for many of the prisoners, then there is no choice but to release them. If we actually believe in the rule of law and the power of the courts — there is no other choice.

Of course, we can try to keep the “bad ones” on a leash and use all the resources at our disposal to keep them under surveillance to then later re-capture and prosecute them for anything we can prove. But until that time, we simply cannot hold them indefinitely without trial or due process and sleep soundly at night.

Just consider it for one minute. What would you feel like if, guilty or not, the U.S. government one day snatched you from your home and stuck you on an island in an 8-by-

7-foot cell with as little as 2 hours of exercise time outside per day? Then they held you there with no hope, no hope of release and no hope of escape — perhaps because they think you’re a terrorist but don’t have enough evidence to prosecute you for your crimes — so you live in limbo.

This is not just a fictional idea. I found interesting accounts about Majid Khan, a legal U.S. resident who has been held at Guantanamo Bay since he left the U.S. to visit his wife in Pakistan back in 2003 due to his family ties to purported terrorists. He has been held in detention without trial for eight years now. Eight years! For college students like us, that seems like a lifetime — and perhaps it is.

Khan, now 31, has been held in prison by the CIA and U.S. military since he was 23. In the next eight years of my 23-year-old life, I’d like to get a good job, get an apartment or condo, spend quality time with friends, perhaps get married, maybe have kids — and this man, who is not so different from me, has had only the prospect of a small cell and little human contact for years.

Who are we? What did we do with the pre-terrorism United States of America that believed in the rule of law and the justice of the courts? Are we so afraid of these 200 men that we must create a level of hell here on Earth and leave them there with no way out until the end of the endless war on terror?

Some may have done bad things, made bad decisions based on skewed religious beliefs, but they’re not animals to be kept in cages at the zoo — too dangerous or changed by captivity to be released back into the wild. They’re humans like us, they’re men like us, and they should be treated as such.

So do me a favor and call or email your representatives and remind them of the facts of the matter. This is not what we do to our fellow man. We should be apologizing profusely to the 775 men held at the prison rather than writing new laws to imprison the remaining few forever. I hope Obama can follow through on his promise to close Guantanamo, as it has hurt our country’s image too much already.

Sept. 11

Ten years later, remember we still stand united

A

decade ago, our country was devastated, we mourned as a nation, and now we unite and remember. The repercussions will not only be felt once a year or even once a decade, but will occur every day and every time we look to the skyline of New York City.

Whether it is by word of mouth that memories be passed down to our children and grandchildren, or through textbooks, pictures and video documentaries, our country will forever be reminded of a single action that not only broke our hearts, but helped us grasp the hands of our neighbors and send a message back to the world: United we stand.

Everyone can remember with vivid detail when a traumatic event happens. To our parents, ask them about where they were when Kennedy was shot, to your grandfather, ask about one event: Pearl Harbor.

Watch as their face changes, then without hesitation describe their clothes, what they were thinking at that moment, what they might have been eating or doing.

It is amazing how as a na-

I had on my plaid jumper, and I walked in and saw a TV in the corner zoomed in on smoke. I thought a tornado had happened again, possibly in Oklahoma. I asked him what happened; he simply brought me over and told me that it wasn’t a tornado, but a plane in a building in New York.

At that moment, my heart sank. I couldn’t comprehend the entire thing; I had never seen the twin towers before, until I saw another plane fly into it, now engulfed in a blazing inferno. It was almost slow motion, and then I saw it enter the second tower.

The whole day we watched the TV. Nobody did anything productive in class; multiplication tables and spelling exercises were forgotten.

From that day, citizens were

terrified, beaten and broken, and yet rays of hope started to bring us out of the dark place that surrounded us — stories of brave men and women who were from the New York City Fire and Police Department, and volunteers who helped find survivors.

It has been 10 years, and our men and women in the military

are still fighting a war in order to stop terrorism, to ensure that the world is safe and no other nation or child has to remember when their own form of a tower crashes down.

ISU players arrested Two ISU players were arrested Sunday morning, according to the Ames Police Department.

Early Sunday morning, the Iowa State Daily reported ISU receiver Donnie Jennert had been arrested for public intoxication on the corner of Knapp Street and Stanton Avenue.

New developments have surfaced, as the Iowa State Daily has since learned that running back Walker Woods also was arrested shortly after Jennert’s arrest. Woods, a redshirt sophomore, was charged with public intoxication and simple assault at 1:25 a.m. on Sunday morning Jennert, a Saint Cloud, Fla., native, was deemed academically ineligible in mid-August.

NFL:

New rule leads to more touchbacks The NFL’s new rule that moved kickoffs up five yards this season produced a huge number of touchbacks during the opening weekend.

The league moved kickoffs up to the 35-yard line hoping to address safety concerns, and that produced nearly triple the number of touchbacks from last year, according to STATS LLC. Heading into Sunday night’s game between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets, 49 percent of kickoffs (63 of 129) were touchbacks. Last season only 18 percent (24 of 137) were not returned the opening weekend.

About the only surprise on opening weekend was that three kickoffs were returned for touchdowns — up from one last year.

second-largest attendance in ISU history.

“That kind of support is important to the kids because of the hard work they put in year-round,” said Rhoads, whose Cyclones had been outscored by Iowa by a combined 70-10 the past two seasons.

The story of the game for the Cyclones, who improved to 2-0 for the first time since 2006, was rooted in the play of ISU quarterback Steele Jantz, who completed 25-of37 passing for 279 yards and threw for four touchdowns in the game against the favored Hawkeyes (1-1) in just his second start in an ISU uniform.

White steps up in Cyclone victory Running back scores winning touchdown

By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State took a big step as a team by beating in-state rival Iowa for the first time since 2007.

Before taking that step, however, ISU junior running back James White first needed to take 15 steps from the Iowa 4-yard line to the end zone on the game’s final play to give the Cyclones the 44-41 victory in triple overtime.

White’s final stride over the goal line triggered a roar from the standing-room only crowd of 56,085 followed by an exodus of ISU fans onto the field at Jack Trice Stadium.

“I kind of can think about when I was in high school with a gamewinning touchdown, but it’s just different,” White said. “It’s different, it’s college football. It’s a better atmosphere and it’s the Hawkeyes.”

The 5-foot-8-inch, 184-pound White isn’t known as one of the more vocal players on the team, but he’s been praised by his coaches and teammates as one of the hardest workers in the weight room and on the practice field.

“He’s a guy that deserves to play a bunch,” said ISU offensive coordinator Tom Herman. “He’s usually going to do the right thing and be in the right place at the right time, and you can count on him for the most part in protection, so his stock keeps rising, which is good.”

The ISU running back corps bounced back after rushing for only 62 yards against Northern Iowa on Sept. 3 to combine for 151 rushing yards on Saturday. White accounted for 35 of those yards and two touchdowns on only 13 carries.

“James White, since I’ve been here in practice, he’s shown a lot and they finally gave him a chance to play in the games,” said ISU wide receiver Darius Reynolds. “He’s a hard worker. I’m glad they’ve finally given him a chance to play, and he’s taken advantage of those chances.”

As a true freshman in 2009, White battled through the bumps and bruises that came with imitating the running back of Iowa State’s opponent each week and at the end of the year was named the offensive scout team player of the year. With Alexander Robinson, the fourth-leading rusher in program history, having graduated, White now has the chance to showcase his talent not just on the practice field but on Saturdays in the ISU backfield.

“He definitely showed what he can do out there,” Robinson said.

“What you see is what you get with him. He’s going to play hard, he’s smart and he’s not going to miss his assignments.”

Since Robinson’s departure, the backfield now features three running backs with White, Shontrelle Johnson and Jeff Woody all carrying the ball in Iowa State’s first two games.

“We’re the wolf pack,” Johnson said. “We’re a unit, we work together, we all had a good game collectively as a unit, but it came down to him and

he made the plays, so I was happy for him.”

White’s pair of late-game scores may have overshadowed Johnson’s 108 yards on 18 carries on the score-

board, but the entire group of backs understands that any day could be their day in the spotlight.

“It’s a great experience. Like I told Shontrelle Johnson, ‘Next week

you might be the guy, you just never know,’” White said. “It could be Jeff Woody, Duran Hollis, it could be any back. They just called my number today and I just executed.”

Flaska leads way for Iowa State in win ISU soccer pays tribute to 9/11

By Cory.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com

When freshman forward Kaeli Flaska woke up Sunday morning, she didn’t expect she would be leading the Cyclone offense to a 4-0 win over Loyola-Chicago that afternoon at the Iowa State Soccer Complex. In fact, she’s never had a hat trick ever, that is, until Sunday.

“No I don’t think so; not recently anyways,” Flaska said of if she had ever recorded three goals in a game before. “So this was a really good feeling and hopefully it can happen again sometime.”

Her first goal of the season came 27 minutes into the match, when senior forward Amanda Cacciatore found Flaska with a pass up the middle with Flaska putting it over the opposing keeper’s hands in the top right corner of the net.

Nearly the exact same play happened six minutes later as well and Flaska finished the play for her second goal of the game. She said she didn’t expect the opportunity to happen again so quickly.

“I kind of was surprised that their defense didn’t change it up,” Flaska said.

Flaska’s hat trick is the first by a Cyclone since Kristina Baumann did it in 2002 against Texas Tech, also as a freshman.

Prior to Flaska’s back-to-back goals, senior captain Mary Kate McLaughlin found the back of the net for her first of the season as well, scoring on a header off a corner kick from sophomore midfielder Emily Goldstein. McLaughlin said it was a relief to get the first one out of the way.

“It was hard bouncing back from a big loss at Iowa on Friday, but it was nice to come out here and get a goal.

Photo: Tim Reuter/Iowa State Daily The Cyclones celebrate after making a goal against Loyola on Saturday in the first half. ISU defeated Loyola-Chicago with a score of 4-0 on Sunday, Sept. 11.

[Emily] Goldstein played a great ball in and I’ve been trying to get one all season, and she put the ball right out there for me,” McLaughlin said.

On Friday, Iowa State lost a lopsided battle against Iowa in Iowa City, but the defense made the necessary adjustments to answer back with a shutout Sunday.

“We talked a lot about discipline Friday night after the game and we were kind of lacking that during the

game on Friday,” McLaughlin said.

“Discipline and just playing together as a back line, I wouldn’t say it was any one person defensively, but we worked together as a back line and defensively all over the field we worked together as a team.”

Iowa State out-shot Loyola 23-8 on the day, leaving the Ramblers with few scoring opportunities, but the ones they did have, the Cyclones were able to clear the ball out of the box to help

freshman keeper Andrea Swanson record her first career shutout.

“Andrea [Swanson] did a great job. She came up big with a one-onone save, and again it’s a team effort,” McLaughlin said. “One person clears it out of the box, but it goes through three or four defenders; people tackle at different times, so I’d say it’s just a team effort and we were just very disciplined and hungry for the ball and hungry to get it out and keep a shutout for this game.”

Coach Wendy Dillinger said the team also played much more physical and aggressive, contributing to the winning effort.

“I thought Friday against Iowa, there were a lot of times that we were just running back into our box before they were really even dangerous, just playing timid and hesitant defensively,” Dillinger said. “Today I thought we came out, and we were aggressive attacking the ball, challenging, sliding, winning tackles, which we didn’t do on Friday.”

Senior captain Emily Hejlik saw her first game action of the season this year after being sidelined for the first seven games with an injury. Dillinger said the team plans to work her in gradually and get her in as much as possible.

Iowa State has another home game this Friday night against South Dakota State before heading to Ohio to take on Toledo on Sunday afternoon. ™

Patriotic music rang out during the pregame warmups and a table stacked with T-shirts adorned with “Thank You” and “God Bless” written on them sat inside the ISU Soccer Complex prior to kickoff.

Fans could decorate the shirts with messages to be sent to local police, fire and EMS stations.

“The goal is to win the turnover battle, but at the same time, you’ve got to have a Wallace short-term memory and put that play in the back [of your mind] and keep going.”

Rhoads has notched three signature wins now at Iowa State — a win at Nebraska in 2009, a win at Texas in 2010 and now a win against Iowa.

He was nearly overcome with emotion at the postgame press conference.

“Our football team overcame unbelievable adversity,” Rhoads said. “You don’t turn the ball over three times to one — twice inside your 10-[yard line] — miss two field goals against a program like Iowa and win too many times unless you have the resolve of the young men that I coach.”

The resolve Rhoads talked about was most evident on third- and fourth-down situations. The Cyclones were 13-of-20 on third-down plays and converted both of their fourth-down tries.

Players also took to Twitter following the game to express their excitement over the win.

Jacques Washington tweeted: “Thanks for all the love fans! I told yal we were gonna bring it home to Ames!”

The win clearly meant a lot to Rhoads, who said he was glad to get a big win at home in front of the Cyclone fans.

He also said he thought this was the best win he’s been a

“The best,” Rhoads said of the win.

“Because it happened today.”

>>JANTZ.p5 A week removed from a shaky performance that saw him completing less than 50 percent of his passes and throwing three interceptions, Jantz said the biggest change for him was that he managed to learn from his performance last week.

“When I do things [badly] and I make mistakes, I try and make it the last time that’s going to happen,” Jantz said.

“I’m the type of guy that really learns from mistakes. I am sure that there were a lot of little mistakes from this game that I will learn from.”

After the game, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz was humbled by the Cyclones’ play and the game in general. “[Iowa State] played a heck of a football game today and clearly deserved to win this football game,” Ferentz said. “They did a great job and we’re disappointed.”

Iowa quarterback James Vandenberg also got his first start in a Cy-Hawk rivalry game, with numbers that held up on their own. The Keokuk native went 16-of-28 with 207 passing yards and two touchdowns, but could not make big enough plays in crunch time.

“I was just trying to concentrate on the next series,” Vandenberg said. “Their offense and defense played great all day. Our guys battled as hard as we could, we came up just a little short.”

The Cyclones outplayed the Hawkeyes in nearly every facet of the game, having the edge in all but four statistical

Iowa State remained undefeated after a trip to Fargo, N.D., having played and won two matches against North Dakota State, one on Friday (25-20, 25-14, 25-21) and one on Saturday (26-28, 26-24, 18-25, 25-17, 15-12).

This is a school-best start for No. 17 ISU volleyball now that the team is 9-0, surpassing the mark of the 1997 team that made it to 8-0.

Saturday’s win marks the third time Iowa State has won in a five-set match.

In Friday’s match, five Cyclones hit above a .400 clip, including sophomore libero Kristen Hahn who recorded the first kill of her career on match point.

Senior Carly Jenson led the Cyclones with 13 kills, seven digs, two aces and a block assist on the day. Freshman Hannah Willms also had a solid performance with seven kills, nine digs and an ace.

On Saturday it wasn’t quite as easy for the Cyclones. categories — fumbles, penalties, time of possession and red-zone scoring.

Jantz T h e biggest difference for the Cyclones between this week’s win and last week’s 20-19 victory over Northern Iowa was the approach they had taken going into this game.

“We just came with a different attitude, we just came out with a different mentality,” said senior left tackle Kelechi Osemele.

“We got challenged, we didn’t like the way coach Rhoads said we didn’t perform well, we just kind of played with a chip on our shoulder. We just responded as a unit.”

The ISU offense’s “jet tempo” was more clearly executed against the Hawkeyes than it was in last week’s win, as the Cyclones went on to out-gain the Hawkeyes 473365 in total offense.

“Last week, we didn’t get a chance to get the offense in a flow,” said running back Shontrelle Johnson. “Once we got flowing and the offense started gelling together, passes [were] being completed and a couple runs here and there, the crowd was able to see what our offense was capable of doing.”

Johnson, a true sophomore at running back, eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the first time in his collegiate career, rushing for 108 yards off 18 carries while av-

The Bison took Iowa State all the way to five sets before falling to the prevailing Cyclones.

Jaime Straube led Iowa State with 19 kills, three digs, three block assists and one solo Jenson block in the five-set match.

Hahn also added her second 30-plus dig game of the year, recording a careerbest 35 digs.

Jenson continued her strong play by adding 17 kills, 20 digs and a block assist.

This was Jenson’s fourth double-double of the season.

The Bison had a combined team effort with four players with double-digit kills. Brynn Joki and Chrissy Knuth each had a double-double; Joki had 15 kills and 17 digs, and Knuth finished with 16 kills and 18 digs.

Iowa State will travel to Cedar Falls this Tuesday and try to keep its undefeated streak alive as it will take on in-state rival No. 14 Northern Iowa. The match will start at 7 p.m. at the McLeod Center.

eraging six yards per carry.

“He ran hard; he feels sick about putting the ball on the ground and acknowledged that at halftime to his teammates,” Rhoads said of Johnson.

“He’s a very violent runner for his stature, he runs hard.

He’s got great balance, a quick step, but he just was a driving force for our football team today.”

This was the first time in Cy-Hawk series history that a game went into overtime, a task that was physically draining for both teams on both sides of the ball.

“When it came down to it, to execution, a lot of guys can execute, but doing it while you’re tired is a different story,” Johnson said.

“That jet tempo, those guys were tired toward the end of the game.”

As for the interim CyHawk trophy, it turned out to be the last thing on the minds of the Cyclone players after a sentimental victory like that.

“I thought they just made it [of several pieces],” Osemele joked. “By the time I saw it, it was already in pieces.”

Regardless of the jesting that followed with the interim trophy, the victory still meant the world to an ISU team that had not had much recent success against its archrival.

“The Cyclone nation showed up to help share in that victory,” Rhoads said.

“The opportunity to share [the victory] with our kids and to have their hands on that trophy and bring it back home to Ames, it is a joy difficult to describe.”

Anatomy of a Midwestern startup company

Career tip:

Join with a professional organization Joining a professional organization can provide opportunities to get involved on campus, meet other people within your major and learn more about your chosen field.

“It gave me a great opportunity to know people around campus,” said Megan Augustine, senior vice president of Delta Sigma Pi. “This semester, we are focused on trying to improve our chapter.”

Delta Sigma Pi, the professional business fraternity at Iowa State, is entering its 18th year on campus, and hosted an informational meeting Thursday evening. The fraternity is open to all business and economic majors on campus who still have at least three semesters of school remaining at Iowa State.

The organization promotes school networking, community service on campus and the Ames community, and preparing members with a better feel of the business world.

They participate in various community service projects throughout the school year such as Hilton cleanup, hosting the annual Clean Gerdin event and cleanup along Highway 30.

The fraternity’s main goal is to benefit members by providing real-world business experience while giving back to Iowa State and Ames at the same time.

Delta Sigma Pi currently has a membership of just more than 70 students. The organization is led by an executive board containing 20 different positions, offering multiple ways for members to further their involvement. For more information, contact President Anne Sydness at asydness@iastate. edu.

Not a business major? To see if your major has a professional organization open to students, check with your career services department. Many organizations offer discounted memberships to students.

Google buys Zagat in push for local market NEW YORK — Google is throwing significant muscle into its new focus on local businesses: It has acquired reviews behemoth Zagat for an undisclosed sum, the company said Thursday. “[Zagat’s] iconic pocket-sized guides ... were ‘mobile’ before ‘mobile’ involved electronics,” Marissa Mayer, Google’s head of local and location services, wrote in a blog post announcing the deal.

Zagat, founded in 1979, rates restaurants on a 30-point scale based on consumer reviews. Its guides include short paragraphs culled from those reviews, and it operates in 13 categories and more than 100 cities.

“Zagat will be a cornerstone of our local offering,” Mayer said, adding that Zagat content will enhance Google search and Google Maps.

Zagat, based in New York, put itself up for sale in 2008 but couldn’t find a buyer. The company raised $31 million in venture capital in 2000. In their own blog post, Zagat founders Nina and Tim Zagat said they will remain active in the company.

Google has made ramping up local initiatives a priority this year. After its failed bid to buy daily-deals wunderkind Groupon, Google embarked on a slow but steady march into the local ads and content space, launching Google Offers in a few cities and introducing “Latitude” check-in deals.

Three new, local apps make big splashes

By Sarah.Binder and Mackenzie.Nading @iowastatedaily.com With new apps and businesses launching every day, “startup” has become a huge buzzword.

“Technology has definitely changed things,” said Judi Eyles, assistant director of the Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship. “It has [sped] things up, and it makes things easier, and I think there’s a lot of sharing that goes on.”

Although Iowa and the Midwest may not be seen as a technological

hub, several startups are starting to make a splash.

Sam Schill, co-founder of Shoplr, said all the companies that make up the “silicon prairie” are cheering each other on and hoping for a big success story.

“Once you start researching who’s doing what, it’s a pretty small community,” he said.

The risk factor Eyles reminds students that any new venture includes elements of risk, but taking the plunge with a company no one has heard of yet can seem especially intimidating.

After hearing about Zaarly at Austin’s South by Southwest, Sarah

Zaarly

Davidson, an ISU graduate, moved to work for the company within a week.

She is now Zaarly’s marketing and communications coordinator.

“It was a big risk, coming from a secure job that I actually loved,” she said. “I just thought the idea and the concept was so unique and exciting.”

The rewards “I absolutely love my job,” Schill said. “It’s stretched me a long way in developing different skills.”

He said he applies those skills to his day job — few startup founders have the luxury of giving up steady paychecks right away.

“It’s not for everyone. You have to be willing to be 100 percent dedi-

Shoplr

cated to what you do. It’s not a clockin, clock-out job,” Davidson said. “But with high risk comes high reward.”

She said she would recommend getting involved right out of college, when a personal life can take a back seat.

Adam Hofmann, director of marketing for Zaarly, said most startups would be willing to create an internship for students if they were willing to work for free.

He suggested researching companies of interest, and reaching out to them with specific, actionable questions.

“When you’re young, why not give it a try,” Eyles said.

Here’s a look at three startups appearing in the area.

Locusic

Zaarly was named after the tradition of outdoor bazaars, where anything is for sale if the right price is offered. The app puts the buyer in control of the agreement.

“Basically, if you’ve ever thought, ‘I’d pay blank for blank,’ Zaarly is for you,” Davidson said.

The app, available on iPhone and Android, can be used to secure almost anything legal — everything from textbooks to late-night food from a place that doesn’t deliver. Davidson said a KU student offered $20 to ride around campus in a car with loud speakers.

Davidson said so far, about 40 percent of requests have been for services, 43 percent for stuff and 17 percent for access to events or experiences.

The buyer just has to specify what they want and what they’re willing to pay, and they can get offers in real time from people nearby. Would-be sellers aren’t allowed to offer anything up, but can quickly make money by fulfilling requests.

After the idea was pitched at LA’s Startup Weekend, the app launched nationwide on May 18 — taking Zaarly from concept to launch in less than 90 days.

Zaarly representatives are scattered around the country, but the marketing team is based in Kansas City. They also have “campus CEOs” creating more focused groups at 20 universities nationwide, and Iowa State may soon be added to the list.

“I keep thinking, gosh, when I was in college, this would’ve been amazing,” Davidson said.

Shoplr is an app that allows users to find deals at nearby businesses and share their favorites.

“We’ve made it really simple for folks to broadcast and share with people the things they like,” said co-founder Nathan Haila. The app can sort offers by most recent, most popular or closest to the user’s geolocation.

The co-founders said Shoplr stands out because it is convenient for the user. They don’t have to purchase a coupon in advance, wait for it to download or remember to bring it along. And they don’t have to check every day to see what the offer is, since the app shows what offers are available at that exact moment.

Haila, an ISU graduate, said he wanted to find a way to give small and midsize businesses quality advertising options. With Shoplr, the businesses are in control of what offers they send out, compared to sites like Groupon, which require discounts of 50 percent or more. Nearly 20 Ames companies such as Fighting Burrito, Dogtown University and Wheatsfield Cooperative have signed up.

“Many businesses don’t have a mobile strategy,” Haila said. Shoplr allows them to send out offers within five minutes. “If you can do email, you can do this.”

Several ISU students are working with the company on everything from marketing to logistics to computer science. After a larger launch in Ames, the company hopes to expand to Ankeny and Des Moines by late fall and farther after that.

Headquartered in Des Moines and set to launch on Oct. 15, Locusic is a music-streaming service dedicated to bands within the area of the listener.

“It’s basically Pandora for local bands,” said CEO and founder of Locusic Jake Kerber.

Locusic has a simple purpose: to get local bands noticed.

“I’ve been a fan of local bands for a long time and I was frustrated, as were some of the bands, because they weren’t getting bigger and things weren’t going as well as they hoped. Even though everyone says how great the bands were, they weren’t getting any action or listeners,” Kerber said.

Locusic is designed for people who don’t have time to go check out the music scene themselves.

Now instead of going around to different bars, coffee shops and open mics, listeners can go to a website and have the new music of their area streamed to them.

“One big goal of mine is to help a local band really make it big or at least expand regionally or nationally,” Kerber said. “The other thing is to increase the general public’s awareness of local music. Since I’ve been working on this project, I’ve been surprised how many local people don’t realize how much music is being made locally.”

Their launch will include all areas within 50 miles of the city, including Ames.

After the Des Moines launch, the company will expand to the Twin Cities area and then Austin, Texas.
