ISU President search moves to Minneapolis The ISU presidential search committee is heading to Minneapolis on Thursday and Friday to interview candidates. The committee will hold a twoday meeting at the Hilton Hotel from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, according to a news release. Iowa’s Open Meetings Law allows the committee to meet in closed session to evaluate the competency of an individual whose appointment is under consideration if the individual has requested confidentiality, according to the release. All of the applicants have requested confidentiality. Daily Staff

Take off with the Study Abroad Fair The semiannual Study Abroad Fair will be in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union on Thursday. It will run from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. It is “an opportunity for students to get answers to their questions and make comparisons between programs that will help them decide which program best meets their needs and interest,� according to the Study Abroad website. Iowa State offers approximately 250 programs in 50 different countries, and more than 1,200 students study or work abroad annually. Daily Staff

One Ames resident has decided to take a step forward to follow through with his passion: making his own microbrewery. Did we mention that it’s free? More on that later. Bluegrass music drifts out of a small, unassuming white house on a quiet, dark side-street. After knocking several times, a young man who calls himself “Little B� opens the door to a smallish
living room, populated by hideously upholstered chairs and an eclectic collection of ’90s memorabilia including a “Terminator� (the original movie) poster, several pictures of pigs, a lava lamp and an impressive collection of VHS tapes. It’s hard to believe this room has packed in parties of upward of 100 people. On the steps to the basement, one has to duck under naked bulbs and surgi-
cal tubing, climb down the bare wooden steps into the cool chamber purposely chosen because it regularly maintains a moderate temperature between 60 and 70 degrees. This is where the magic happens. There are no boilers, boiling crucibles or beakers of florescent liquids in this laboratory — just shelves of grains, chemicals and kegs
that line the brick walls from the concrete floor, to the naked ductwork in the ceiling. Here, we meet Kelly Blevins, where he can brew as many different original beers as he chooses, but he is holding on to his own flagship beers, a raspberry wheat and an Irish Cream stout. “That’s the big advantage we have over any other brewery out there,� Blevins said. “That we can brew whatever ... we want.�
Dance Marathon
Teal Wheels roll out for fundraising benefit By Sarah.Clark @iowastatedaily.com Bikers are hopeful that blue skies will match their blue bicycles at this weekend’s first annual Teal Wheels bicycle benefit organized by the Iowa State Dance Marathon organization. Along with a bike decoration contest and a tricycle race, the event will include an eight-mile fun-ride throughout the Ames community and the ISU campus. All proceeds from Teal Wheels and Dance Marathon events directly benefit the Children’s Miracle Network locally through the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital, which specializes in children’s health care and meeting the health care needs of children and their families. “The funds we raise from Teal Wheels and Dance Marathon will be used to help a variety of children that are being treated for many different illnesses at the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital,� said Emily Culp, junior in marketing and advertising and director of Dance Marathon public relations. Last year, the UI hospital served more than 160,000 children in clinical visits and received more than 4,500 inpatient admissions. The hospital is ranked in the top 20 best children’s hospitals by Parents magazine and is a nationally recognized pediatric center of excellence. ISU Dance Marathon is hopeful that Teal Wheels will raise even more support for the cause. “Since the main part of Dance Marathon oc-

curs once a year, we’re excited to extend our efforts to another event to benefit our cause,� Culp said. The first Dance Marathon event was held in 1998 and raised more than $20,000. Since then, ISU Dance Marathon has raised a total of $1.5 million for the hospital with more than $180,000 coming from last year’s event alone. Szuyin Leow, president of Dance Marathon, is hopeful that the Teal Wheels event will reach out to a new audience and bring in more support for the Dance Marathon organization. “One of the most exciting things about putting on an event like Teal Wheels is that it is a
The presidential campaign season rolls around every four years, transforming Iowa from a small blot on a map into a national hub filled with major politicians and journalists. Clarence Page, a 1989 Pulitzer Prize winner, said the importance of Iowa relies on the state’s ability to create narratives for the candidates. “A good narrative has all but replaced the need for a party to have a good platform,� Page said. Page, who began his journalism career as a freelance writer and photographer at 17 years old, is a nationally syndicated columnist and a member of the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board. “I have read his articles for years,� said audience member Donald Raker. “I think he is a very thoughtful and intelligent writer.� Page spoke to a packed crowd in the Sun Room of the Memorial Union Wednesday night. His lecture was entitled, “A Campaign Narrative: Why Iowa Matters — or Not!� At the lecture, Page said the news audience today feels entitled to their own facts. “Today’s audiences no longer choose their own news outlets,� Page said. “They choose their own versions of reality.� He said that the positions matter less than what the positions seems to mean. “The rise of narrative can render the positions on the issue almost meaningless,� he said. Narratives have the potential to cause a presidential candidate to go from a superhero to a pin cushion, Page said. He explained that candidates use narratives to negatively define other candidates.

Sheriff Danny McEathron disputed Tareq Salahi’s suspicion that his wife’s phone call with a deputy late Tuesday. A deputy told Tareq Salahi Tuesday night that the department had received a call from his wife saying she was fine and just dealing with some “family issues,” manager Rodriguez said. That assurance apparently was not enough for him. Rodriguez told CNN Wednesday morning that he was concerned the local authorities were not taking her disappearance seriously.

The Primetime Emmys are Sunday, and “Mad Men” star Christina Hendricks knows exactly what lucky fellow she’ll walk the red carpet with. The 36-year-old actress, who’s nominated for an outstanding supporting actress in a drama series Emmy, told NYMag’s Vulture that she’ll be attending the ceremony with a 19-year-old Make-A-Wish participant. Hendricks added that her husband, Geoffrey Arend, her father and her father’s girlfriend will also join the two. Hendricks, who has not one but two films (“Drive” and “I Don’t Know How She Does It”) in theaters this month, will next bring her talents to Chris Colfer’s coming-of-age comedy, “Struck by Lightning.” Colfer, known for portraying Kurt Hummel on “Glee,” has been branching out in TV, film and children’s publishing. Colfer wrote “Struck by Lightning,” and will star along with Hendricks. “Chris wrote this really great script,” Hendricks tells Vulture. “I was really honored and proud to be a part of it. Chris is doing some really great stuff, so I was honored to be in his first movie.” The adoration flows both ways: Colfer told the Hollywood Reporter that Hendricks is “one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. She’s literally a Disney princess in human form.”

UNIVERSITY: Geoffroy presented with award Youth and Shelter Services of Iowa presented ISU President Gregory Geoffroy and his wife with awards for their outstanding contributions at the Richard O.

>>BEER.p1 and, of course, the exceeding demand for his beer that he can barely keep up with. Blevins isn’t exactly a traditional image of an entrepreneur, but somehow, as this former ISU student sits back lazily on the couch and he rolls a cigarette, it’s hard not to admire someone that manages his own business between his two fulltime jobs. “It all kind of started from the bottom. We started with little parties and grew from there,” Blevins said. “It’s ridiculous how fast we’ve grown when people started to drink our beer. It just got out of control.” Because Blevins does not yet have his liquor license, however, he can’t legally sell his product. His solution? Give it away for free. “We can’t make money, so what we’re doing is just getting our name out there.” Despite his relaxed attitude, Blevins is passionate about his work. His close friend and fellow beer-enthusiast, Little B, found his passion for beer through his friend’s pursuit of produc-

ing a great product. “I have a lot of respect for people who brew their own beer. Anyone can do it. That’s one of the really awesome things about it,” said Little B over the intrusive bluegrass music. “If he doesn’t like it, he’ll just dump it, which is good. He’s pretty perfectionist when it comes to his beer.” Little B attributed part of the success to the growing microbrewery scene in Iowa due to a relaxing of regulations on beer. “Right now its really starting to take off,” B said. “ I know people that have never had an interest in beer that are brewing it now. A year ago, you wouldn’t be able to find half the labels you can at Hy-Vee or Cyclone [Liquors].” Fortunately for Blevins, his efforts so far will culminate in an event Thursday at DG’s Tap House at 9 p.m. in which he will partner up with the bluegrass band, Mary and the Giant, for a night of free beer, music and revelry. “What I’m trying to present is that none of the Boozetime or Mary and the Giant really strived for this,” Blevins said. “It’s just been kind of viral.”
the opportunity to participate in a brand new Dance Marathon event.” Last year, Dance Marathon’s main event, which takes place in January, had more than 900 student participants. Shelby Miller, special projects director of Dance Marathon, is setting an optimistic goal for Teal Wheels’s attendance. “It’s rough to estimate exactly how many students and community members will attend our event,” said Miller, senior in pre-diet and exercise. “But we hope for as many riders as there are bikes on campus.” Dance Marathon is hopeful that Teal Wheels will become an annual event that continues to gain support for Dance Marathon and the Children’s Miracle Network. “There aren’t many bike

Page explained the reason why narratives are so important is because 90 percent of politics is perception. “Narratives shape our perception,” he said. “Campaigns are like trials: They’re a contest to see which side can sell the most appealing and persuasive vision of itself.” As the first state to hold a major voting event, Iowa “sets the stage for what narratives are made and remade,” Page said. According to Page, the emerging narrative for the 2012 presidential campaign is anger.
rides across campus, so we hope that this unique event will continue in the upcoming years as not only a Dance Marathon tradition, but also as a strong event for the Iowa State community,” Culp said. Teal Wheels will be Saturday and is open to students, faculty and members of the Ames community. Check-in begins at 9 a.m. at Hilton Coliseum and the ride follows at 10 a.m. The ride will conclude at noon at Hilton Coliseum followed by a picnic for the miracle families at Brookside Park. Prizes will be given to the winners of the tricycle race and to the riders with the most “tealtastic” Dance Marathon spirit. Registration is $20 and includes a T-shirt. Registration can be completed online through the Dance Marathon website.
“The big question for Republicans has become which candidate can express the anger of the party’s conservative base,” he said. Political coverage has become more like a horse race, Page said. He explained that candidates’ words are merely decorative. He said those words have become only about how they will affect other candidates. Page said the rising prominence of narratives should be a warning to the public. Voters should not automatically assume that a good candidate will make a good president. “We enjoy our free press and freedom of speech,” he said. “Candidates spend hundreds of millions of dollars to drive their campaign narratives. The press and the people can and must do all we can to take [our freedom] back.”
A forgotten culture. “We were hidden right in front of the whole world. People did not know that these people exist, that this island exists.”’ Who are these Gullah/Geechee people? Queen Quet Marquetta L. Goodwine spoke Tuesday about the cultural oppression and human rights violations exacted on her people by the U.S. government in the island nation of the Gulla/Geechee people the coast of the American Atlantic southeast. Goodwine began her lecture speaking in the native language of the Gulla/Geechee people, called Gullah, after a slideshow and music showcasing the people and cuisine. Although many people have taken an interest in the Gullah/Geechee culture, Goodwine described the deplorable efforts by the media to portray their culture and way of life. She also discussed her people’s interaction with American culture from slavery through missionaries and finally to their contemporary struggles with displacement, miseducation and disenfranchisement.
After winning their freedom and purchasing heir own land, the Gullah/Geechee had their land taken away and were then robbed of their lands via land auctions and taxation. She also was critical of the missionary efforts in the area by people who did not invest time to learn about the Gullah people. The missionaries also introduced corporal punishment as a deterrent for speaking and maintaining Gullah culture to teach them what Goodwine called “the right way.” “It was supposedly civilizing us, making us assimilated to society,” Goodwine said. “The same people who said that some people were nay three-fifths of a human being.” Despite their conditions, the U.S. has not allocated funds to help her people preserve their culture. Goodwine, however, is optimistic and just wants to keep her culture through living it and speaking the language. “When we feed one another, we don’t just do it with food but with spiritual food, or what you call intellectual food. We are here to share about our community and our culture,” she said. Goodwine also has a YouTube channel called Gullah/Geechee TV.

Editorial
Improvement requires investments There is little dispute that the United States is in a bad situation. More than 15 percent of us are now below the poverty line, the official unemployment rate is above 9 percent, retail sales have flatlined, stocks continue to struggle, we’ve lost our AAA credit rating, and all in the midst of Europe’s financial crisis. We are in a bad situation, but we are not without hope. It’s a situation that demands that we act rationally, investing our resources in the most promising regions for economic improvement. The official poverty line for a family of four is $22,350, which isn’t much spending power, and it’s considered to be the point at which individuals can no longer afford to support their family. With 15 out of every 100 of us making less than that, we’re in a bad way. We need a solution that puts money back into their pockets. The unemployment rate is 9.1 percent, and this doesn’t include those who work part time — unable to find full-time employment — or those who simply quit looking for work. The real unemployment rate may be higher than 16 percent and there’s a strong possibility that those unemployed are the same as those impoverished. We need a solution that provides jobs. The U.S. stock market has been struggling since July, but most experts would say it never really recovered from the housing bubble in 2008. We need a solution that builds things, real physical things. Financial markets and speculative investments will not lead us, as a country, out of the economic problem. We need a solution to pool investment into production. It would move a trade deficit toward a balanced relationship. It should give those in poverty money to spend, give the unemployed full-time jobs and give investment to American industries. We’ve lost our AAA credit rating. Sadly, it wasn’t even due to economics, it was due to politics, and investors have lost their faith in our political system to adequately fix our economic troubles. We need a political solution to show our competence. We can’t keep pumping money into our economy and hope that it works, we need to target it, we need to work together, but we need to figure it out. The Fed is running out of tools, and bailouts are losing their effects. We need government guidance of our markets to build new industry and new production. It should help those in poverty, providing them with money to spend. We need control over markets and political assurance that we will pay our debts and work out our troubles. It’s a bad situation, but the outlook is hopeful if we can work and compromise together. Editorial Board

I didn’t vote for Obama in the last election by any means, but I still would by no means classify him as a socialist. In fact, he has spoken of his desire for a free market, something at which socialists would cringe. Socialism is a classless society in which resources are controlled either through the state or cooperatively. A free market is exactly the opposite, a market that isn’t controlled. Granted, things like bailouts for companies don’t exactly promote a free market, but it’s still a far cry from being controlled by the state. Theorists whom many are familiar with include Marx, Engels
By Jessica.Bruning @iowastatedaily.com and Lenin, as well as Robert Owen, who preached of a utopian socialism. Socialism is actually a precursor to communism. Socialism is a society in which the proletariat (or the working class) bring down the dictatorship of the capitalists (or bourgeoisie) and replace it with their own rule in which production and resources are realized through socialization. It is only after the realization of socialization and revolution (preferably violent) that communism can be achieved in which society exists in a classless and stateless state. Some countries such as China, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Hungary have established semi-socialist states in which production is under the control of the government. However, despite whatever label they choose to put on their government, no truly communist
(classless and stateless) state has been achieved. Socialists may sometimes argue that their theory seeks to fully utilize our labor and technology to make society as efficient as possible without the concentration of wealth or power. Welfare is something that stems from this, as socialism does tend to strive to provide for the most needy. While people go about doing this differently, I would argue that this is more out of compassion than political theory. It stresses cooperation rather than competition, providing for the neediest, and criticizes private property. Because the government has control of production, it is able to take whatever profits it received and (theoretically) divide them among the people. Socialism and communism are two –isms that are especially prone to misuse because they are difficult to understand, especially in a country where they aren’t in practice. This is a brief overview, and people from Albert Einstein to Che Guevara have voiced their opinion on the subject. Each theorist has his own take on it because it is purely that, theory. The problem comes when peo-
ple use the word for the pure sake of name-calling. The theory itself isn’t really that repulsive. I mean, the end goal is a utopia. Sounds fair enough to me. The problem is in the implementation and, in my personal opinion, the need for human beings to have personal motivation not just motivation for the public good. So there we have it. A brief overview of the –isms most commonly distorted, maimed and beaten over the head with a stick by both Democrats and Republicans alike: conservatism, liberalism, socialism and communism. Instead of throwing around words we don’t understand and condoning people for their political theories, take a minute to truly look at the politician and criticize the specific policies you don’t agree with instead of the general theory. Each has its positives and its negatives, and it’s up to us as a supposedly informed public to get past the petty name-calling and actually look at the content.

Legislation
Illegal immigrants benefit more “All we have is another mistake in the system ...”
I
n the swings candidates are taking against President Barack Obama to gain support, the issue of finances has been one of the most solid punches. Alongside finances, illegal workers is another of those body blows Obama has had to suffer. Put the two together and you don’t necessarily have a knockout punch, but in the eyes of the people, the two could bring on a judgement against the current commanderin- chief, be it warranted or not. So, here is the lowdown: A report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration offers up the information in an audit that undocumented workers laid claim and collected $4.2 billion last year, compared to five years ago when the amount was less than $1 billion. How is this massive sum of money coming into play? Well, it stems from the Additional Child Tax Credit, which is the result of vague U.S. law compounded with tax credit in
By Gabriel.Stoffa @iowastatedaily.com stimulus legislation. Even if no income taxes were paid, one of these workers could go ahead and profit by claiming. “The payment of federal funds through this tax benefit appears to provide an additional incentive for aliens to enter, reside and work in the United States without authorization, which contradicts federal law and policy to remove such incentives,” according to the report. How this loophole has persevered over the years I do not know, and it is probably too convoluted to discover the reasoning — I would venture the guess of mere oversight due to the confusion and time delays assessing taxes can entail, but that might be me being generous — but to be certain, it is something that needs to be remedied. Apparently even those people who are not authorized to work in the U.S. are still expected to pay IRS taxes; personally, I don’t understand that logic either. Because those immigrants that aren’t supposed to be working
still do, but do not have Social Security numbers, they are issued Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers. Yep, we all understand they are breaking the rules, but we still want our cut. Now, I don’t see any way in which to stop the flow of undocumented workers any time soon, but measures to cut back on paying money to those not following the rules is something most voters would probably support. Whether or not this is really Obama’s fault isn’t the issue, so much that it makes for an influential sound byte to sway some folks as the competition for the highest office continues to play out. But back to the actual notion involved, isn’t there a little bit of a question as to why we are allowing the benefits of proper citizens to those who are not? The immigration status of any legal immigrant that works without authorization would be in violation, so why did the system allow for the undocumented workers to benefit so much in the first place? This isn’t an attack so much on illegal immigrants and the like, but on the holes in our system that allow for billions of dollars to flow out of the coffers unnecessarily. The IRS did agree in a

statement with the advice of the report that future payments of this sort should not occur, and it is great to plug this hole, but what is going to be done about the damage done? The money cannot be taken back, so really all that is left to try to make amends is for some savvy politicians out there to get back on pushing agendas to deal with immigration and taxes. So, where do we stand after all of this? Well, not
really anywhere. We have another sucker punch to bring to the presidential ring, but other than that — and I doubt it will even be utilized — all we have is another mistake in the system that most Americans can examine and just hope that no bigger errors are lurking behind the red tape.

Obama’s lack of experience hurting America P
resident Barack Obama stormed the White House in 2008, riding the wave of “hope” and “change” and a public that was tired of President George W. Bush and his party. His election inspired millions across the globe, particularly in Europe, that America was turning a new leaf. He even received the Nobel Prize for it. To be sure, expectations were high. Within two years, the president had accomplished something that no other president had ever done, though several had tried: He succeeded in reforming health care insurance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. It is the most substantial social policy reform since Social Security and Medicare (thank you, FDR). It was highly controversial at the time and continues to be. It gave him the appearance of being a strong leader and, depending on who you talked to, made him either a savior or the anti-Christ. However, he was and still is no stronger than your average freshman legislator, and he has beaten a hasty retreat from any sort of confrontation with the opposition party. The newly reinvigorated Republican Party, riding a wave of their own (the tea party), has seemingly controlled the direction of the country since the midterm elections of 2010, despite holding only marginal control in the House and being in the minority in the Senate. When you look back on what has transpired, it is hard to see how we missed it. President Obama, when he was elected, had served only one session in the Senate, holding no elected position beforehand. He is a skilled orator, for sure: his speech to the Democratic National Convention in 2004 was something special; even
By Craig.Long @iowastatedaily.com
though I considered myself a staunch Republican at the time, I was impressed. While there is no constitutional requirement for holding the office of the presidency other than being a natural-born citizen aged 35, there is a reason we have historically looked for those with extensive prior experience in government. The years of negotiations, fights and the daily grind of writing law have toughened them. Experienced leaders know how to stand their ground, and when and where to make concessions in negotiations. They learn this at lower levels of government, where the legislation (or their participation in it) is not as vital. However, President Obama is having to learn at the highest level possible. It would be like if I had never played chess and was forced to learn against World Champion Viswanathan Anand. The first evidence of President Obama’s inability to lead and negotiate on the level required of the president actually came during his crowning achievement, the health care insurance reform. He was in favor of a public option for health insurance, to ensure that everyone had equal access to it, regardless of that person’s economic standing. However, despite having a super majority in the Senate and control of the House, he was unable to get a bill passed with that clause. In passing it without the public option, he lost one of the main ways to ensure the population is insured, and as a result, his law is missing the common denominator that underlies nearly every top-ranked health care system in the world. In the most recent manufactured crisis to face the country, he failed as well.

Obama has been much more of a follower than a leader.” The recent negotiations on the proposal to raise the debt ceiling represent a colossal loss by the Obama administration over something that has historically been something of little consequence. He let the Republicans bring the fight to his doorstep and lost horribly. When the opposing lead, John Boenher, emerges from negotiations saying that he got “98 percent of what he wanted,” it is an unequivocal defeat. If those negotiations were a poker game, Obama lost his house, car and wife, and walked to the homeless shelter shirtless.

Granted, letting the country default on the debt would be catastrophic. However, like all negotiations, it was bound to go down to the wire. Unfortunately, Obama didn’t just blink — he covered his eyes and cowered in the corner. The damage done by defaulting temporarily (after default, there is no way that a more balanced plan wouldn’t be approved within a few short days), could be drastically less than the damage done by improperly cutting programs without even attempting to raise revenue. Beyond that, this was an absolutely constructed problem, designed to throw the government into chaos (hint: it succeeded), as the government has raised the debt ceiling 74 times since 1962 without much fanfare. He did not need to back down;
he needed to fight, and he failed to do so. Even if you take that the country defaulting is too important to play the political game with (apparently not the position of the GOP), he’s retreated from even modest resistance this past week. Last week, he proposed that the EPA impose more restrictive regulations on greenhouse gas emissions. This week he retracted that proposal, simply because of a little modest opposition and fears this could harm the economy. While economic policy ranks high on the president’s to-do list, he didn’t even attempt to negotiate a middle ground, he simply retreated to the standard that Bush (obviously, our most ecoconscious president) had set. Again, this is all coming from the man whom we
elected to lead the country. However, Obama has been much more of a follower than a leader. You would not expect a freshman legislator to hold his own in negotiations against the experienced leadership. However, it is imperative for the system to work that the president holds his own. But he has failed us. Perhaps, at some point in the future, he would be the right man for the job. He would be able to stand for the truly important parts of his own proposals, and would refuse to be bullied by those in Congress. But he didn’t give himself enough time to learn, and now politics is suffering as a result.

Woodson fined $10,000 for punch GREEN BAY, Wis. — A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that cornerback Charles Woodson has been fined $10,000 for throwing a punch in the Green Bay Packers’ season opener against the New Orleans Saints. The person requested anonymity because the fine has not been announced by the league or the team. Woodson was called for a personal foul in the third quarter after throwing a punch at Saints tight end David Thomas. He was not ejected. After the game, Woodson admitted he did it out of frustration after “the guy was holding me a little longer than I wanted.” Woodson expected a fine. The Associated Press
NFL:
Vick facing Falcons as Eagles starter FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Michael Vick isn’t about to declare the Georgia Dome his house, even though he’ll surely hear plenty of cheers and see plenty of No. 7 jerseys Sunday night. Vick will be returning to Atlanta for the second time since his release from federal prison. Unlike two years ago, when he threw for one touchdown and ran for another in a backup role, he’s now the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Speaking on a conference call Wednesday, Vick was asked if he would follow the infamous lead of Deion Sanders in declaring the Dome “my house” when returning as a visiting player. Vick graciously declared, “That’s Matt Ryan’s house. I’m just a visitor.” Ryan took over as the Falcons quarterback after Vick went to prison for running a dogfighting operation. The Associated Press

After a frustrating meeting with NBA owners on Tuesday, Hunter’s not sure whether players considering stints overseas should hold off in hopes of a new labor deal soon or take their chances. With less than three weeks until training camps, players and owners are still divided over the salary cap, and no further meetings are scheduled. NBA owners also are scheduled to meet Thursday, and Stern has said there won’t be any decisions to cancel training camps at that session in Dallas. The lockout began July 1. The Associated Press

Cyclones hit the road By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com
A shortened week for ISU football will be met with a rematch of a game that has been 10 years in the making. Iowa State (2-0) will take on Connecticut (1-1) on Friday night in East Hartford, Conn., in a game that was scheduled in a two-part installment with the first installment having resulted in a 37-20 loss at Jack Trice Stadium on Nov. 23, 2002. For a school that is typically known for its men’s and women’s basketball programs, the UConn football program typically flies under the radar in the arena of college sports. “As far as football goes, I’ve never really seen them play,” said linebacker A.J. Klein. “My first [time] actually seeing them play was watching film [Sunday], watching their offense and how they did against Vanderbilt.”
Iowa State is 1-2-1 all-time against Big East teams, with its only victory coming against Pittsburgh in a 37-29 Insight.com Bowl victory in 2000. UConn is coming off winning the Big East title and a coaching change that saw Paul Pasqualoni take over for the program’s pioneer Randy Edsall. The Huskies have utilized the play of three different quarterbacks in its first two games, which has made preparation for the Cyclones difficult. “That was a great deal of the work that Wally [Burnham] and [the defensive] staff were doing last night,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “They ran out of grease board space trying to figure out the different plans because of that.” The numbers between the three — Johnny McEntee, Michael Nebrich and Scott McCummings — do not stand out very much, as the trio has combined for less than 50 percent
The Cyclones’ matchup against the Huskies also will be broadcast on ESPN2, an occurrence that is uncommon for one of the smaller members of the Big 12. “It’s a big deal to some of the kids,” said junior linebacker Jake Knott. “It’s not as big a deal as it used to be, but that’s in the backs of people’s minds.” Last year’s 48-20 loss to Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl by the Huskies as the Big East’s lone representative has generated discussion to the ongoing dialogue regarding a change to the BCS system. Rhoads, who served as defensive coordinator at Pittsburgh from 200007, said to the contrary that Big East teams should not be taken lightly. “It’s very good,” Rhoads said of the quality of play in the Big East. “I’ve always felt that [the criticism] was unjust ... It is high-quality football with great coaching and plenty of talent.”

Iowa State faces game of redemption Iowa State ‘out for blood’ against Jackrabbits By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com

pass completion and has thrown only one touchdown pass to four interceptions in the two contests. Regardless, all three remain a concern for the Cyclones. “They have different attacks, different abilities for each one,” Klein said. “One’s a passer, one’s a runner and the other does both, so it’s going to be a challenge for us to change up our defensive schemes to handle all three of them.” For ISU quarterback Steele Jantz, maintaining a level of consistency can be a task in itself in his first-ever road game as the Cyclones’ starting quarterback. “He showed after two games that he’s capable of [playing well],” said junior receiver Josh Lenz. “I think a lot of it is just natural for him. He’s just a natural quarterback and he just has a knack for making plays when he needs to and that’s what he’s been doing.”
File photo: Tim Reuter/Iowa State Daily Forward Amanda Cacciatore moves the ball down the field against Loyola-Chicago on Sunday. The Cyclones will face South Dakota State at 6:30 p.m. Friday.
After a dominating performance against LoyolaChicago on Sunday, the ISU soccer team will take on South Dakota State in a game of redemption. Last season, the Jackrabbits (4-4-0) defeated the Cyclones (4-3-1) by a score of 2-1 in Sioux Falls, S.D. This season, however, Iowa State will be the one working to make sure that it comes out on top. “We definitely want revenge and will definitely be out for blood,” said senior forward Amanda Cacciatore. Coach Wendy Dillinger said the team “has to finish”
and maintain its aggressiveness in order to continue to have success this season. Cacciatore “ L a s t year, we had a number of quality opportunities and just didn’t finish,” Dillinger Dillinger said. “We had a breakdown on a corner kick [last year], so the first thing we have to do is try not to give up the corners. They are a dynamic team, so we have to do a good job defensively and stay organized and communicate. “We are going to get chances, but we have to finish them.” Against South Dakota State, the Cyclones will look to
be the aggressors in the contest instead of being the reactive team. Cacciatore said the team needs to “take it to them” like it did against Loyola-Chicago instead of “playing on their heels like [we] did against Iowa.” “There was a lot of things we needed to fix, a lot of it was discipline and movement off the ball,” Cacciatore said. “I think on Sunday we did a lot better with discipline and our dynamic movement created a lot of scoring opportunities that we capitalized on.” Iowa State will continue to strive for consistency in practice because that is what will prepare the team for in-game situations, Cacciatore said. The match between the Cyclones and Jackrabbits is scheduled for Friday at 6:30 p.m. It will be at the ISU Soccer Complex in Ames.

Iowa State bounces toward invitational By Mark.Schafer @iowastatedaily.com Summer may be cooling off, but for the ISU tennis team, that just means it is time to warm up for the upcoming season. Like other spring sports, the tennis season does not officially begin until spring semester. However, the schedule presents plenty of chances for the players to warm up for the 2012 season. “The results in the fall are not as important as they are in the spring, so it should help us get rid of some of the nerves when we play,” said coach Armando Espinosa. “We get to compete and incorporate new things into our games.” For the Cyclones, the first chance for them to play as a team outside of practice will be this weekend. The team heads up to Minneapolis for the Gopher Invitational, hosted by the University of Minnesota, on Friday through Sunday. Last season, the Cyclones had mixed results and finished the year with a 10-16 record. Of the 16 losses, eight came in the final eight tournaments of the year, including the season-ending Big 12 championship matches. In order for the team to avoid another eight-match
pectations for this year’s team. We combine a lot of experience from the returners and add three freshmen that hopefully will be able to contribute,” Espinosa said. “We should have the maturity from four seniors and three juniors.” Two of those returning seniors, Tessa Lang and Maria Fernanda Macedo, are ones the coaches hope will help improve the performance of the squad. Lang and Macedo were the top performers last season. They were also the No. 1 doubles team a year ago and have experience together that could prove valuable, Puebla said. “Maria Fernanda Macedo and Tessa Lang played together last year, which always helps, knowing how your partner plays,” Puebla said. “That is something you can’t teach.” Espinosa is hoping a great season from the two as well. “We are expecting big things from them in their last year,” he said.

“One bad drive caused a poor decision for the second shot. It was more decision-making, which cost us some strokes.” Even with the mistakes made, each of these players had their shining moments. All of them had at least a round of 72 strokes or better, including Scott Fernandez, who had a 69 in the third round, the best round of any Cyclone. “They did not play anywhere near their potential,” Tank said. “Nate did not make any double bogeys or worse. If they had limited their mistakes to just a bogey, it would have saved them 19 shots.” California finished in first place, ahead of Baylor by a commanding 12 strokes.

slide, Espinosa said, the Cyclones must continue to improve on their game and the gains they had made in the previous weeks and during practice. “[We need to keep] improving. We have accomplished a lot of things as a team in the past few years, but we need to continue to do the right things,” Espinosa said. “This time we need to do them better so we can continue to improve.” Assistant coach Rodrigo Puebla agreed. “If the team can continue to improve week in and week out, we will have a good season,” Puebla said. As the season progresses, the team will try to use its mix of both new and returning players to help the Cyclones stay competitive. The experience of the players as well as the schedule will provide a nice jumping in period for the team, Espinosa said. “We really have high ex-
It was not the outcome it wanted, but the ISU men’s golf team found things to improve on going forward this season. “Overall, we have a talented group of players,” said coach Andrew Tank. “I am disappointed with where we finished on the scoreboard, but we learned a lot of things that we could improve on. The mistakes came from inexperience.” The Cyclones finished in eighth place at the Wolverine Intercollegiate, their first tournament of the season, at 872 strokes. Nate McCoy led the way carding 71 in each round, which is even par for the course, and finished at 213 strokes. McCoy finished in the top 10 individually. “I played all right,” he said. “I didn’t make a lot of big mistakes, but I didn’t make many birdies either.” While the things McCoy worked on came into fruition, he just could not make the putts he wanted. “My short game was sharp, which is what I practiced all week,” he said. “My lack of putting cost me a few birdies I should have had.” The four other players for Iowa State participated in their first NCAA tournament event. A consistent theme was trying to force things too much on the course. “It came down to strategy,” Tank said. “When they hit a poor shot, they tried to do too much on the next shot instead of accepting what they had. It turned into a double or triple bogey when they could have walked away with just a bogey.” McCoy noticed the same thing during all three rounds . “The mistakes were compounded,” he said.

By Sean Flack Ames247 Writer The department of horticulture is one of Iowa State University’s oldest departments. But after the next few months, the department will be known for more than just plants and flowers. Sarah Grant is an artist based out of Des Moines. Grant and her art company, Sticks, have been responsible for many of the art exhibits students see every day on campus. Most recently, she installed new art sculptures in the small animal clinic for the College of Veterinary Medicine. When the department of horticulture contacted her with a proposal to create new art for their building, Grant jumped on the opportunity. “I love flowers and plants. They’re very fun to draw. I like the subject matter,” Grant said. “On top of it all, the people in this department are very nice and interested in what we’re doing.”

Grant is creating a mural to be on display when students and faculty walk through the atrium. The mural will represent horticulture’s history on campus, Iowa State’s influence on horticulture, and various symbols of what horticulture means to the students and faculty. There will also be brief paragraphs providing additional information. “It would be beautiful to have the story surround you when you walk in,” Grant said. Grant and her crew have been in the planning stage, which is where they gather information and plan where they want certain paintings to go. If one would walk into the horticulture atrium, they would notice all the walls are wooden. This is because after the planning process is finished, Grant and her group of artists will draw everything on the wooden wall with pencil. Following the drawing portion is the wood burn line drawing, and finally, the painting portion, which Grant estimates will take place on

Shades releases new album online By Vincent Geerts Ames247 Writer Though it started as a high school project between drummer Gavin Moore and guitarist Grant Parker, Shades has evolved into a self-described “space rock” five piece; and the release show for the band’s second record is Saturday. “It was natural to land on that sound, based on all of our preferences,” said lead vocalist Chris English. “It’s very much a fusion of genres,” Moore added. “If you’re really listening you can pick out the different influences.” The group calls itself Shades to reflect the variety of influences represented by
Release show When: Saturday at 5 p.m. What: Shades release show with Modern Day Satire and Rebel Creek. Admission is $5. Where: Vaudeville Mews, Des Moines each member of the band. Moore and Parker met guitarist Jon Driggs after moving from their hometown, Ankeny, to attend Iowa State. They were subsequently
introduced to Jon’s brother and Shades’ current bassist, Alan Driggs. While Moore and Parker have a diverse alternative rock background, the Driggs brothers have a heavier metal-influenced style. English met the band through Craigslist, and they were going by the name Shades by December 2008. The band’s first release came in May 2010, a self-titled, 10-track album. The new six-track record is titled “Cities Like Circuits,” and it incorporates more electronic elements than its predecessor. Parker said the release will be “less fractal” than their first album, and flow together more smoothly.
“We spent a lot of time listening to it, making sure it sounded good,” English said. “The music is for everyone else as much as it is for us.” Shades performs a stylized and original cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” for the new record, featuring Liana Prudencio on vocals. She also provides vocals on the track “Just a Glimpse,” which will be the first single on “Cities Like Circuits.” “We’re really pleased with how natural the songs are on the stage,” Moore said. “We went through three or four draft-type tracks for each song, and some even more.” The band will share all tracks from the new record and some old favorites
in an all-ages show at the Vaudeville Mews beginning at 5 p.m. The show also will feature performances from local bands Modern Day Satire and Rebel Creek. Though “Cities Like Circuits” will be released on the date of the show, no physical copies will be available to the public. Instead, the band plans to distribute the digital version of the album on their bandcamp.com Web page, with a price to be set by the consumer upon download; much like Radiohead’s release of “In Rainbows.” English said though the release is not a full album, “it has all the energy and work you would put into one.” “It’s some of our best work to date,” he said.

Theater
stud spot ent light Jocelyn Ascherl
to pursuing my career.
By Basil Rain Ames247 Writer
A: The French singer Natalie Dessay, she’s a soprano and she is amazing.
Q: Who is your favorite opera singer?
Jocelyn Ascherl is a fifth-year senior in vocal performance. She was the winner of the Ames chapter of the Des Moines Metropolitan Opera Scholarship.
Q: When did you start singing opera?

Set construction begins at Fisher By Kegan Luczycki Ames247 Writer
In the theater world, there are many jobs to be done in order to have a successful show. Not only are the actors vital, but so are those who help backstage. Work on ISU Theatre’s sets, lighting and costumes begin long before the actors even set foot in Fisher Theater. The set work begins on the lower level of Fisher Theater. Derek Hisek, lecturer and technical director for ISU Theatre, is in charge of set construction. Hisek’s main goal is to take the designer’s drawings and use them as directions during construction. “I get to do all the fun projects and I don’t get bored because there is a next show,” Hisek said. “There’s always another problem I need to solve, so once I get them solved and the show is up, I’m on to the next one.” Hisek is also in charge of overseeing students involved in the set construction. Students can either volunteer to help with the production, or help the set workers to get credit for some of the theater classes. Although Hisek is busy building sets for the productions, he said he tries to give each student as much help as he can. Kiah Kayser, sophomore in performing arts, works at the scene shop in Fisher Theater. Kayser has an emphasis in technical theater and said she is mostly interested in the painting aspect of the productions. “I just fell in love with [painting]. As long as you’re passionate, you can do anything here,” Kayser said. Once the paint colors have been selected for the set, a whole new project begins. Kelly Schaefer’s job as the costume designer is to make sure the colors of the set won’t blend in with the characters’ costumes. Schaefer, lecturer and costume designer for ISU Theatre, also talks with the director about what themes could be used so she can base her designs off their ideas. “I kind of thought of how I could twist [the design] a little bit to show more personality
A: When I got into college, my voice teacher really started pushing on working on opera stuff. Since then, I just fell in love with it.
Q: What award did you win? A: The Des Moines Metropolitan Opera has tons of guilds all over the state. The Ames chapter chose a scholarship winner. I’m their second scholarship winner. Basically, it’s money toward working to get a master’s degree, or traveling fees for auditions. It’s helping me out
Q: How do you memorize the languages? A: Well, I have taken French and German; between romantic languages, Italian is really similar, so I have a general understanding of grammar and everything. It’s easier because I have an understanding of the language.
Q: What do you think about Iowa State’s music program? A: We really have a gem of a program here. Most music schools that are the bigger names have graduate schools and doctoral programs, so undergrads kind of get swept under the rug a bit. Here, we have professionals who have been working in the industry for a really long time and a community core program. I think that the program is expanding so much and we’ve got so many opportunities that most undergrad students don’t even dream of having.

Downtown studio makes music for local bands By Cole Komma Ames247 Writer

of the people coming through the costumes,” Schaefer said about her costume work for the upcoming show, “Hedda Gabler.” “Hedda is very snippy with a lot of issues going on, and so I wanted to show her personality by using a lot of angles.” Along with costuming and set construction, lighting design is another significant part of putting together a show. Jim Trenberth, lecturer and light designer for ISU Theatre, explained lighting is key to capturing a “perfect moment for the audience to see.” “I figure out where I need to light before rehearsal starts. Some stuff may change as they rehearse, but I know the tricks of the building. I’ve done it so long that it is nothing new to me,” Trenberth said.
Trenberth said he enjoys working in the theater department and even when rehearsals get crazy, “it’s all worth it in the end.”
In downtown Ames, in the basement of Rieman Music, creation is taking place. Alexander Recording Kompany is the brainchild of Dennis Haislip, musician and employee of Rieman’s. The studio opened on March 19, 2010, and Haislip said the idea came up in a conversation with Rieman’s manager. “I was just joking around with the manager at the time about how cool it would be if there was a studio in the basement,” Haislip said. “It became this community effort.” Soon after that conversation, the studio became a reality, and Haislip, along with friends, co-workers and bandmates began to construct what soon would become ARK. Rudy Miller, ISU student and also an employee at Rieman, began helping Haislip in the studio his junior year of high school. “I help Dennis set up the sessions and help with the recording,” Miller said. ”I love the atmosphere of the studio and the people I get to meet.”
Photo: David Derong/Iowa State Daily The Sun Company, a local jam band, plays during a live recording session at the Alexander Recording Kompany studio.
Haislip has recorded various local bands from the Ames and greater Des Moines areas such as Bombardier, Chaos Saints and Sim Sek. Haislip said there are only two rules in ARK: Performers are not allowed to play or record “hate music” and all deposits are non-refundable. ARK charges musicians $35 an hour for recording sessions while some other studios may charge $100 to $300. The studio is well-
equipped with Protools 9 digital recording and editing software, which can house 24 tracks at once. ARK is also equipped with a plethora of microphones ranging from the classic Shure Microphone to a Neumann Microphone which, according to Haislip, costs more than his car. Haislip said if any student needs music recorded, ARK is willing to help out. The studio is ready to assist any and all budding music artists.

>>MURAL.p8 and off over the next couple of months. “I think it’s a good idea. It’s wonderful to have a mural instead of boring walls everywhere,” said Len Voo, senior in horticulture. The creative process, including planning, drawing and painting, for the mural is all happening on-site. Typically, an artist will create at home and then bring the finished project to campus. With this exhibit, anyone who wants to come by can see it any time. While Grant joked that sometimes it makes her feel like an animal on display, she said creating on-site has many benefits. “A lot of people show up
and have their own thoughts, opinions, or are just curious. Everyone’s ecstatic. They’re seeing everything in action,” Grant said. Students and Grant aren’t the only ones who are ecstatic about the mural. The department of horticulture faculty has been fully behind the project since meeting with Grant over the summer. “A lot of social functions take place in the atrium. We have great confidence and are excited to see how it turns out,” said Jeff Iles, department chairman for the department of horticulture. Grant encourages people to stop by the horticulture building during the process to see the project slowly come to fruition.
