By Brian.Keck @iowastatedaily.com With 21 different places to eat on campus plus vending machines, students have many options around campus to get a meal or quick snack. Starting at orientation, ISU Dining helps students begin to understand where they can use their meal plans, meal bun-
dles and Dining Dollars. In addition to the dining centers, ISU Dining provides different services for students, including Cy’s Surprise, online access of Dining Dollars and the cafes located all across campus. “[Cy’s Surprise is] a good idea,” said Lauren Griffin, freshman in engineering. “In my dorm, we don’t have kitchens and can’t make cookies or anything like that.”
This service allows students to transition into college, said Brittney Rutherford, marketing coordinator for ISU Dining. “Students don’t have to cook,” Rutherford said. “They are here to be students and be successful at that.” ISU Dining has expanded its meal and food options this year by increasing places students can get food. ISU Dining has added a new Global Cafe to the Harl
Commons in Curtiss Hall and now allows students to bundle a smoothie and one side at Froots. ISU Dining has created more options of food such as the addition of gyros in the Memorial Union and hibachi to Sushi San’s menu. The MU Food Court has also made its menu more versatile by adding

Iowa State Singers win music award Group takes first place with American Prize in Choral Performance By Delaney.Vierkandt @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State Singers have won the American Prize in Choral Performance. The American Prize awards winning teams at all different levels with a cash prize, professional adjudication and recognition at the regional, national and international levels. The Iowa State Singers won the prize this year after James Rodde, professor of music and director of the State Singers, sent in a 30-minute voice recording of the choir to the organization. “The songs were ready, which
is why it was so easy,” Rodde said. “I got an email along the way saying we were a finalist, along with some other choirs and thought, ‘Well, that’s nice.’ Then I got the email the other day saying that the judges placed us first.” To receive an affirmation from esteemed judges that they think well of the choir is a great honor Rodde stated. “I thought it would be nice to hear some judges comment on my group,” Rodde said. “And that’s really as far as I was thinking.” Members like Kersten Tipping, junior in music, believes that winning The American Prize ensures a tradition within the choir. “It gives us a title to our name that we can show people,” Tipping said. “It’s a morale booster.” For Kelly Lockerbie, senior in civil engineering and president of the State Singers, every day in choir is a joy with the 72-member group.

“It is just incredible. We’ve travelled to many different places. Just to be recognized for this is really exciting for our new members, and for our old members who have graduated,” Lockerbie said. “It’s also really great for our director.” For the State Singers, this is not their first accomplishment. The singers have had a number of accomplishments throughout the years. Rodde said he believes their biggest accomplishment would be performing at National American Choral Directors Association and National Collegiate Choral Organization conventions. “I think we can take a lot of pride in our organization here,” Rodde said.

In his lecture titled “Who’s up, Who’s Down and What’s Really Going On,” Robinson addressed some of the issues currently faced by Washington politics. “In the coming weeks we will see things get considerably worse,” Robinson said. “A government shutdown is likely.” Robinson was introduced by Jared Strong, an ISU graduate working for the Daily Times Herald in Caroll, Iowa. Strong is the 2013 Chamberlin fellow, as presented by the Iowa Newspaper Foundation.

Ames Lab to receive $10 million grant Planned expansion costs $7.42 million for new equipment By Simone.Scruggs @iowastatedaily.com The U.S. Department of Energy Ames Laboratory will be receiving $10 million from the Department of Energy to build a new Sensitive Instrument Facility that will be located at the Applied Science Complex. This lab is not associated with the university. With the exception of some mutual projects, the two are separate operations of one another. The construction for the building will cost an estimated $7.42 million, said Steve Carter, assistant facilities manager and facilities services group project manager. Carter said the construction will take 15 to 16 months to complete and will begin in spring 2014. “The building will house instruments that are extremely sensitive in their nature,” Carter said. “By extreme I do mean extreme. Your heartbeat standing next to the machine could create too many vibrations which can throw off the
“Given the sensitivity of these machines in the space, the foundation and the concrete are very elaborate,” Carter said. “Also each one is contained in its own aluminum box with quarter inch aluminum plate on all six sides; the floor, the four walls and the ceiling.” The aluminum box for each cell is used to eliminate the electromagnetic forces from the machines. An assessment was made of the current lab facilities by the Ames Laboratory, which is another reason why the lab has received federal funding for the construction of the new building. The newest building at the Ames Lab was built in 1961. “Several years ago we assessed our need and the state of the art equipment in the area of characterization materials, and in particular some of the atomic imaging microscopes,” said Tom Lograsso, interim director at the Ames Laboratory. After surveying that space, the next generation of microscopes would not be able to work properly in that area so the new building is greatly needed to stay up to date with research involving the microscopes, Lograsso said. The lab was started after World War II in 1946, on the heels of the Manhattan Project.
calibrations.” The building will be rectangular shaped with offices, conference rooms and other lab building necessities. Carter said the major aspect of the building, which is what makes the building so expensive, are the six “cells” to house the ultra-sensitive microscopes. The cells will be divided up into areas for specific microscopes. Two cells are designed for transmission electron microscopes, which are the most sensitive, Carter said. The building will have two TEM cells that will be set up for future discoveries and use of the TEMs. “We also have scanning electron microscopes, SEMs, that we actually have one or two more of in the lab,” Carter said. “The SEMs are less sensitive than the TEMs.” An undeveloped space is being left in the building for future development of instruments as they are created. The smallest room or cell in the building will be an 18 square feet cube and the largest will be 21 square feet. The entire building is planned to be 13,304 square feet. In addition to the cells, there will be dry and wet labs in the building for additional research to be performed in the lab.

Students explore campus parking options Brian Achenbach/Iowa State Daily
Parking on campus can be convenient but also a hassle because of the number of parking tickets students receive. With more 15,000 permits administered, parking on campus can be scarce.
Parking Division integrates new policies to improve accessibility By Hannah.Lilienthal @iowastatedaily.com There are several modes of transportation for students on campus including CyRide, bikes, walking or the Help Van, but some students still find bringing a car to school beneficial. This, however, is not the case for everyone. Elizabeth Doebel, junior in mathematics from Davenport, Iowa, said the choice to leave her car at home was an easy one. “The biggest thing for me was the CyRide and size of campus,” Doebel said. “Since everything is around 10 minutes away, you don’t really need a car.” Britni Andreassen, junior in civil engineering from Cedar Falls, Iowa, also chose
not to bring a car. “If I had a car, I’d probably be more likely to go out to dinner or shopping or spend more time with people off campus,” Andreassen said. “It would definitely make my life easier, but I don’t think it is necessary.” Andreassen and Doebel said family members and friends are willing to give rides, so getting home is not an issue. Devin Wilmott, freshman in open option (LAS) from Frisco, Texas, said she saw bringing a car to school as the best choice. “I made the decision to bring my car with me because the pros outweighed the cons at the time,” Wilmott said. “I knew that Ames had CyRide, but that just wasn’t enough for me. I don’t like having to rely on others for rides.” For students who live on campus, parking passes are easily obtained, said Mark Miller, program manager of the Department of Public Safety. Parking permits cost $131 per academic year for residence hall parking lots and $91 per aca-
demic year for Jack Trice Stadium parking lots. According to a 2011 report by the ISU Parking Division, Iowa State ranks third in a comparison of 14 similar universities for lowest parking permit cost — nearly three times less than that of the University of Iowa. The report also showed more than 15,000 parking permits purchased in 2011, a number Miller does not see decreasing over the next few years. “The Parking Division continues to look for more parking options for students,” Miller said in light of record enrollment. “Once expansions of Frederiksen Court are finished, we will have more parking options than we did five years ago.” Wilmott said that while having her car at school is convenient, she does not use her car as much as she thought she would initially due to it being parked far away from her dorm. “Parking is like going to a movie theater. Everyone wants to be in the front row,
but obviously not everyone can be,” Miller said. “There are certainly enough parking spaces; it’s just a matter of convenience for those who park on campus.” The Department of Residence website advises students not to bring a car to campus. It recommends taking the CyRide or riding a bike to class. “You have to plan more for things like going to the grocery store or going off campus, but it really just involves more organization,” Doebel said. Miller said the Parking Division is constantly integrating new policies to make parking on campus as accessible as possible, while still being able to provide helpful student services like the Safety Escort and the Help Van. “Parking is a self-supporting entity. We do not receive any allocations or tuition dollars,” Miller said. “Anything we have to pay for including snow removal, maintenance, safety escorts, help vans etc., comes from operating budgets which come from permit sales, fines and special events.”
Statistics show ISU faculty outwork those as other universities Survey shows staff put in extra time to focus on students By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State faculty do more than simply click through PowerPoint presentations in lectures. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average working American worked 44 hours in a five day workweek in 2011. A survey taken of nationwide university full-time faculty members in 2004 showed an average workweek of 55.5 hours. A comprehensive report presented to the Board of Regents showed ISU faculty worked an average of 57.2 hours, the most in Iowa. Each faculty member had the opportunity to participate in the survey and document how many hours they dedicated to university-related work. “At Iowa State, we really enjoy our work; therefore, we’re putting in more hours,” said Faculty Senate President Veronica Dark. “[but] we’re stressed. We are being asked to do more with less.” Activities contributing to the faculty workload include education, research, extension and outreach and service. “Think about [the categories] as four buckets,” said Jonathan Wickert, senior vice president and provost. “[The report ] looked at time in the classroom, time preparing for classes, time advising students, supervising students on research projects and different examples of extension and outreach, etc.” In addition to classroom time, faculty are expected to contribute to their field of study. For example, Dark, professor of psychology, is expected to contribute new insights to the base and understanding of psychology. “Faculty are hired, in most cases, to both educate students and also do scholarly work,” Dark said. “Iowa State is very proud of
Faculty survey A campuswide survey presented to the Board of Regents showed ISU faculty worked an average of 57.2 hours per week in 2012-13, the most hours for university faculty in the state of Iowa. The survey asked faculty to document how many hours they dedicated to university-related work. University of Iowa: 56.5 hours/ week University of Northern Iowa: 53 hours/ week
the students that we produce. We think we provide a very good education. Everyone is hired because we’re supposed to be contributing to knowledge.” The added workload from research sometimes results in faculty members working at home and on the weekends. They might work in their office but also in a lab, library or living room. “A lot of people outside the university and even students don’t appreciate how much effort and time it takes to do the scholarly work. Plus we have to do our educating,” Dark said. “[Educating] is a big part of what we do, but it’s not the only part. That 58 hours a week reflects that it takes a lot of time.” Approximately 43.5 percent of faculty time was spent on class related activities, according to the survey. However, both Wickert and Dark said percentages dedicated to each category differs across departments and individuals. “No two faculty are identical,” Wickert said. “Each faculty member’s responsibilities really reflect their own expertise and the way they contribute most to the university.” Position Responsibility Statements allocate the responsibilities of each individual faculty member in order for that particular member to reach tenure. Dark said most assistant professors don’t do as much committee work as some tenured professors because assistant professors are more focused on educating students and setting up a scholarly

research program. “When you go up to full professor, our tenure document says it will be expected that you have done some important institutional service: contributing to the functioning of the university,” Dark said. In his annual address, ISU President Steven Leath addressed faculty being stretched too thin, in part, because of increased student enrollment. “Every time class size goes up, the workload increases,” Dark said. “[Some] used to assign a short homework assignment that
you could read through in the weekend, but with twice as many students, [they] can’t do that.” Although resources and spaces are pushed beyond expectations, the ISU brand is still of top priority, Dark said, with hopes of continuing student-faculty interaction and more than just lecture classes. As Leath said in his annual address, faculty play a large part in the student experience, and thanked faculty multiple times for their hard work and dedication. Of the 1,446 surveys sent,
Azwan Azhar/Iowa State Daily
1,226 faculty members responded, both part and full-time members. With a response rate of 84.8 percent, Iowa State had the highest between the three regent universities. In total, after removing responses that were incomplete or inaccurate, or responses from faculty members who weren’t available for the entire week, a total of 1,111 responses were taken into account. “When you look across the big picture, I’m very proud of seeing a faculty that’s very high quality that works very hard,” Wickert said. “I couldn’t be more proud with the outcome of the report.”

foods such as chicken cordon bleu and salmon. Increasing food options is not the only way ISU Dining has helped out students, said Nancy Keller, director of ISU Dining. “Dining has not raised [its] prices in two years,” Keller said. With an increase of food price in the economy, ISU Dining has worked with students to offer them a variety of food without making it too expensive for students, Keller said. With all the different options ISU Dining offers, it is possible for students to find it difficult to know where they can use their Dining Dollars and meal bundles. “I was confused at first, but that is because I didn’t know it,” said Elizabeth Gust, sophomore in sociology. “You get used to it as you go along.” With five different meal plans, ISU Dining gives different options for students with all kinds of schedules. The dining center offers online and social media sites alerting students how many meals and Dining Dollars they have left. Gust said she checks these once every two weeks. On average, students can spend $6.94 per meal in the Cyclone meal plan, $8.33 in the Cardinal plan, $11.11 in the Gold plan, $13.88 in the Silver plan and $16.66 in the Bronze plan in order to not run out before the semester is over. These figures include Thanksgiving week. Fall semester Dining Dollars roll over to the spring semester.

The questions he received included topics such as the Republican party, future potential presidential candidates and journalism. “We have to have an operable federal government,” Robinson said. “I wish I had better optimistic views about when we might have one.

What can we do about
NATIONAL TRAGEDY? The shooting at the D.C. Navy Yard that occurred Monday is just one more in a list of 62 mass shootings that have happened in the last 30 years. Aaron Alexis’s actions, though individually heartbreaking, were part of a trail of tragedy that has laced itself through American history. The incident left 13 dead and at least eight injured. The location of the shooting may make it seem distant to us Iowans, but it is alarming how close it was to our national headquarters. In any case, 13 families, hundreds of friends and countless unconnected Americans are grieved by what happened on Monday. We as students, as Iowans, and as a nation can’t give a concrete reason for the tragedy. We can’t go back and undo what’s been done. But we can help prevent it from happening again. As mentioned, this was the latest of at least 62 shootings that have taken place in the last three decades. The frequency of disasters such as these is astounding. And though there may not be one singular, allencompassing explanation, many of these cases have something in common. Alexis, the alleged shooter in Monday’s disaster, is reported to have suffered posttraumatic stress disorder. A former member of the Navy, Alexis had an unsteady record of military misconduct. Additionally, he has had two prior shooting incidents though in both of those, no one was hurt. The man responsible for the July 2012 Aurora theater shooting, James Holmes, was confirmed to be insane by a courtordered psychiatric evaluation. This means that he has an “inability to tell right from wrong because of a mental disease or defect.” The tragedy at Sandy Hook last December was perpetrated by Adam Lanza, a troubled young man diagnosed with Asperger’s and sensory integration disorder,
as well as unofficial diagnoses of “personality disorders.” Details such as these are attached to mass murderers or shooters far back in history. The happy, stable, well-loved citizens of our country are not those who decide one day to go to school or work armed and with violent intent. It’s the overlooked. The inconspicuous loner who chooses to be apart or even the friend who says that one thing that gave you pause, but you shrugged it off. We can tell ourselves that it hasn’t happened at Iowa State, or in Iowa. We can tell ourselves that it’s nothing we will ever have to deal with. We can say: “It won’t happen here.” But disbelief is a flimsy defense against a loaded gun. The best defense is a pre-emptive one; in our schooling, work and home, we should be aware of the mental instability or anguish of others. That cousin with a penchant for nervous breakdowns? That friend whose creative writing borders on threatening? These aren’t individuals to be ignored. As adults, we must have the maturity to admit, “yes, I’m feeling lonely.” Or “yeah, I’m pretty sad.” Or even: “I often think of hurting myself or others.” Staying quiet won’t help anything, and as illustrated by the Alexis, Holmes and Lanzas of the world, might lead to harming others. Luckily, resources for emotional or mental help are everywhere. We’ve come a long way from when emotional collapses were met with instant confinement in an asylum. However, our society still stigmatizes mental disorders to the extent that those who need help often aren’t getting it. Before we can get the troubled and downtrodden to the clinics and therapists they need, it’s necessary to assure them that it’s okay to be struggling. And as a country, we need to shrug off the stigma that isolates those with depression, anxiety, schizophre-

Yet every semester, professors do the exact same thing to students who take their classes; professors write textbooks and then have their students to buy them as required reading. I understand that professors need the money from the royalties they earn from their textbooks. It is hard to get by today on only one salary as living costs are increasingly expensive; as a student, I sympathize. But I think it’s more than questionable to get royalties from students who already are paying their professors through their tuition. That isn’t to say professors shouldn’t write textbooks either. The knowledge they have should be shared — and yes, for a little money. We are a capitalistic society after all, and nothing is truly free. I believe in hard work and dedication and the ability to reap the rewards from it. Professors can charge other students to use their textbooks but should not charge their own students. I also realize why professors like to use textbooks. They help keep things organized and everyone on the same page, especially in big, entry-level classes. Textbooks also help students control their own learning, at least to some extent. It gives students the responsibility that is often learned in college to become a wellfunctioning adult. Textbooks, for better or worse, are necessary. But what is not necessary is forcing students to help pay a professor’s supplemental income. Iowa State boasts professors who are experts in their fields, many of whom have written textbooks on the subjects that they teach. I don’t know about anyone else, but as a student, I feel I have come to Iowa State to gain an education from those experts, not from their textbooks. I pay a lot in tuition to learn, so if I wanted to be taught just from a textbook that someone from Iowa State wrote, I could go to a community college that offered the classes I need and use ISU professors’ textbooks
nia or any other disorder. Iowa State has wonderful services for this at Student Counseling Center. From the biofeedback program to individual counseling, the counseling services has many methods of helping students who struggle in any way. With such great emotional and mental support services on campus, the biggest problem is getting those who need those services in the door. So, reach out — to your friends, to your classmates, even to yourself. The best way to ensure that Iowa State’s campus will remain unaffected by these mass killing tragedies is through preventative action. No matter what an individual is feeling, they are not alone. They don’t have to be alone. Again, we can’t give a definitive explanation for these awful occurrences. We can’t bring back those who are killed or comfort those families who suffer. What we can do is work to improve the future, to keep those individuals from feeling that killing themselves and others is the only choice.

for much less. The professors that are renowned in their fields should teach a lecture-style class. For example, I have one professor who doesn’t require textbooks in any of the classes he teaches. He writes down important names and terms on the board, and they are accompanied by slides with pictures regarding those names and terms. He then gives verbal lectures that students take notes over. After every lecture, students then take six-point quizzes. I have a lot of respect for this professor. He knows his subject very well and has an organized system of teaching students. He gives points for attendance, which are the six-point quizzes, he makes students review what was covered in class and all of the test material comes from those lectures as well. This works in all classes regardless of lecture hall size. If a professor wrote a textbook with someone else, that professor still has the legal rights to the book and can use material that they have written to teach. I have another professor who gave us his book online for free. Everything that we need to know for that class is on a website that he made just for his classes, thus benefiting students who are already paying for his class. There really are no good reasons why professors make their students pay royalties. If you don’t take a certain class, you won’t graduate. Sometimes you can only take a class with a certain professor to fulfill a graduation requirement, and for someone to take advantage of a student who is already paying so much to be there in the first place is wrong. Unless people — professors and students alike — start caring, things will not change. Professors earning textbook royalties from students will continue to be a problem unless it is spoken out against.
W
e have all noticed the immense number of students traveling through campus these past few weeks. Iowa State’s enrollment this year is at a record-breaking 33,241; that’s 2,106 more students than the student enrollment in 2012. Record enrollment looks great for the university, but how are housing, dining centers and classrooms going to hold this overload of students? “The dining centers are too crowded,” said freshman Hannah Haler. “The lines are too long, and they should just build another dining center.” Three out of five students I randomly interviewed were not impressed with the Iowa State’s dining centers, most saying that they are too crowded and they had trouble finding a place to sit. The same overwhelming feeling can be observed in the classroom. Another standard problem of a large university is walking into a lecture hall of 400 students, which can be nerve-wracking for new students, but what makes it worse is when there are too many students in the hallways to even get to class on time. In some of the classes I have been to, the seating has been so limited that I’ve had trouble finding a seat if I was not early. There have been times so far this year where I have had to leave my house at least a half an hour before class just to get to class on time, and I live on campus. Walking to class, it’s hard to get around the “slow walkers” when the sidewalks are flooded with students. Additionally, consider the university paid upperclassmen to move out of the dorms at the beginning of the year to make more room for the incoming freshman class. This record enrollment is no surprise with Iowa State having students from every
county in Iowa and from at least 100 countries, but how do these numbers affect the students’ everyday lives? The buses are often where the number of students on campus is most noticeable. Students sometimes have to wait for several buses to pass by before actually getting picked up; when they do get on the buses there is most likely standing room only, and it can be hard to squeeze through the throngs to catch the stop you need. We walk through a sea of people to the bus stop that wades us through the crowd, and then we are thrown back into the ebbing and flowing tide of students rushing to class. When we actually get to class, we are so overwhelmed by the vast number of students that even focusing in class can be a challenge. Larger class sizes mean more distractions in class, and the lines at the testing center continue to grow with each passing week. In order for Iowa State to accommodate all of these students properly we will need to expand. Progress toward new dining facilities, more proctored testing centers and new on campus housing are things the university should consider. Iowa State is on the right track, however, in having built new buildings on campus to offer more classes and building new residence areas, such as the new apartments in the Frederiksen Court area. But Iowa State just cannot possibly keep up in architecture with the amount of students rushing in every semester. Students need to make their needs heard. Attending faculty and council meetings to express their feelings about what adjustments need to be made so the university knows what the students want. After all, this is a university full of students; we need to rise up and take charge. Any changes made by student voices or ISU leaders will be slow. In the meantime, it’s ultimately your responsibility to make it to classes on time, regardless of obstacles. Next time you head out the door to class, give yourself some time to catch the bus and plenty of time to walk so you will make it on time. Make sure you get to class early in order to grab a seat, because from the looks of it, student enrollment is only on the rise.

Festival explores art styles By Patty.Clark @iowastatedaily.com For the 43rd year, the Octagon Center for the Arts will bring in a cavalcade of styles, from woodworking to photography to Photoshop painting, to its Annual Octagon Art Festival. Robert S. Wallace, president of the Board of Trustees for the Octagon Center and an associate professor at Iowa State, will demonstrate at the festival the art of woodturning, “specialized type of wood working,” he said. Wallace has attended the festival for about seven to eight years demonstrating woodturning, “where the piece of wood is mounted on a piece of machinery called a ‘lathe’. It is spinning wood on a lathe. You can make different shapes and some hollow vessels,” he said. He is one of nine members of the Board of Directors for the American Association of Woodturnings. His first encounter with woodturning was in seventh and eighth grade wood shop, “but years ago, I started turning again after my daughter was born,” he said. “I could go home and work in the shop and not wake her up. Woodturning is relatively quiet.” Wallace said he enjoys being involved with the Octagon as well as the festival. “I was very active with the rest of the board in directing the financial and fiscal operation of the Octagon,” he said. “But, at the same time I enjoy going out on Main Street and demonstrating wood turning and making a little bit of a mess and nobody yells. “My activity with the Octagon has been very positive both on the demonstration side of the art festival to actually running the organization and making sure that it’s in good shape,” Wallace said. He has encouraged students that,

The Colt Walkers perform at the Octagon Art Festival on Sept. 23, 2012. This year, the festival will be Sunday and feature displays of arts such as woodturning and alternative photo processing. The event on Main Street in Ames is free to attend, with some items up for sale.
“No matter what your major is everybody should have an appreciation for the arts. What you’re seeing is current artists creating current art.” Also at the festival, Naomi Friend, a recent ISU graduate in integrated studio arts, will show an alternative photo process from the 1840s called cyanotype, which requires less dark room equipment. Friend described the process as having the, “unpredictability of old and the control of the new.” She said the process involves using a “digital negative and then [a] printing process ... and then I use Photoshop, which gives me control.” Once the print is done, Friend draws or paints, typically with watercolor, on the print to create a full picture. “It’s history combined with imagining what was there or could be,” Friend said. “I do Midwest art, farming [and] old buildings.”
Friend has been at the festival as an attendee in previous years, but now said she’s ready to have her own work on display. “I just participated at the Okoboji Art Festival, so it gave me sort of a resume portfolio to use for my application process to participate in the Octagon Art Festival,” she said. “Students who consider themselves professionals should come out. It is a good way to make a little money and learn how to price your work. You have to consider what the audience wants but also don’t sell out. “It would be great if more Iowa State University art students had a presence at the festival; they could organize a booth and start showing their work.” The Octagon Art Festival is this Sunday on Main Street in Ames, is a free event with different types of art pieces for sale, from jewelry to paintings to clothes.
The festival is for all ages and will also have live bands and live performances throughout the day. The festival is also an opportunity for people to buy gifts or is just “a good thing to do with a special someone and an easy way to have fun and get the benefit of appreciating some new art,” Wallace said. The Octagon Center, a nonprofit organization, has been operating since 1966. The festival used to be called Art in the Park until the mid-1990s, when it was at Brookside Park. The Octagon Art Festival yearly welcomes about 14,000 people. More than 100 different artists from across the Midwest and even Florida will have displays this year. It also has about 200 volunteers from different groups and organizations on and off the ISU campus.
Mobile phone apps gain traction; Nintendo keeps top gaming spot IOS, Android games threaten future of handheld market By Felipe.Cabrera @iowastatedaily.com Despite the heavy sales and popularity of IOS and Android market phone game, the Nintendo 3DS has dominated in sales against the Xbox 360 and PS3, according to a recent report by NPD Group, a North American market research company. Nintendo dominated the handheld console market since it debuted the original Game Boy in 1989. For nearly 25 years, Nintendo has held off any challenger who has since entered the handheld arena, outselling competitors whose handhelds boasted better hardware, mainly with Italian plumbers murdering turtle-men, and renegade children battling monsters for large sums of money. Nintendo has the handheld consoles in a vice, overcoming Sony’s attempts of touting the PSVita as an alternative handheld; but an alternative does indeed exist. Mobile gaming on IOS and Android platforms presents a threat to the future on of dedicated handheld gaming consoles. “I’d rather emulate old Game Boy games on my phone than a new handheld,” said Luke McDonald, junior in computer engineering. “Phones are just way more accessible. Everyone has a phone; it’s easier to buy a game on the app market and download to your phone than carrying around a handheld console.” A typical quest in “Monster Hunters 3 Ultimate” on the 3DS can take up 30 min-
utes to complete depending on the player’s skill level — much longer than most CyRide commutes on campus. Imagine playing the 3DS version of “Resident Evil: Revelations” with the Game Pad Plus attachment on a packed, elbow-to-elbow bus ride. It is more convenient for the average person to load up a game. The free side-scroller “Jetpack Joyride” has claimed 50 million downloads on Google Play and can easily entertain a commuter during a five-minute session before a lecture begins. “I only play games on my down time, so there’s no reason for me play games everywhere I go,” said Ian Knight, student in computer engineering. The price of handhelds consoles and their games has been an intimidating factor shying people away from handheld consoles. Most 3DS games can empty wallets with titles launching between $30 to $40, while an app game can be found on the Google Play Store for the price of hitting “download and install.” “I can see the appeal of mobile games for smart phones and iPads, though,” Knight said. “It makes more economical sense for parents to keep their kids busy by letting them play games loaded on their smart phones and tablets when they drag their kids out of the house. Let’s face it; handhelds are expensive and kids tend to break things.” Not everyone sees the handheld market going the way of the Dreamcast player. “The biggest thing is quality,” said Damon Viner, employee of the video game retailer Pixel in Ames. “Nintendo offers games you can’t find anywhere else, and that’s important to core gamers. Mobile games

do have an impact on the sales of handheld games. The market will shrink, but it won’t go away.” Viner believes that the way for the 3DS to compete with the mobile games market is through the Nintendo eShop. The eShop offers classic Nintendo handheld games for a modest price and titles exclusive for download only. If Nintendo keeps a constant flow of titles moving through the eShop, it could be their answer to app stores on mobile devices. “Nintendo has the more kid friendly 2DS on the way soon. Also, the new Pokémon X and Y versions are coming out next month,” Viner said. “A big release like
that will have gamers clocking in time on their 3DS, and encourage a boost in unit sales from people who’ve been waiting to buy the 3DS for this title.” One thing is for certain for the gaming industry: For Nintendo and Sony to survive in the current portable gaming culture, they must adapt and cater to the needs and life styles of the consumers of today. With a new console generation on the horizon, console manufacturers in both the handheld and home console markets have to get in touch with their consumer base for video games to continue to be a juggernaut in entertainment.
Theater students make preparations for senior seminars By Liz.Cleaveland @iowastatedaily.com Students in Iowa State’s performing arts program are given their biggest test during their final year: creating their senior seminar. Each student’s product is then judged and graded by the Jane Cox, director of the program. One student, Ethan Peterson, is ready for the task. “The point is to showcase what you’ve learned. It’s an application of your skills, and it’s got to be a substantial amount of work,” Peterson said. “With my
project, I’m trying something kind of different.” He quickly assembled a cast of 12 people of varied with dePeterson grees of experience and specialties in the theater department. “The plan is to use improv and scene study work to write it instead of sitting around a table saying, ‘What’s best here; what’s best here?’” Peterson said. “There’s no real story line. I want to find out what this collection of people thinks is a story worth
telling.” In his second semester at Iowa State, Peterson joined the improv group Grandma Mojo’s Moonshine Revival, a studentrun improv troupe that performs in the Maintenance Shop. He even spent this past summer studying improv with the Improv Olympics during a five-week program in Chicago. Improv has been a strong influence to Peterson, helping him manage his theatre and personal life. In his words, it is “the study of being present.” “People think that with improv you have to be witty or
clever, but it’s really just being there,” he said. “Which you’d be surprised with how needed it is and how not there it is at the same time.” Because a senior seminar can be quite the undertaking, Cassilyn Ostrander, junior in psychology and performing arts is helping Peterson as an assistant director. “This is a two-part project,” Ostrander said. “For the first part, I’m mostly helping Ethan with organization and doublechecking that what we’re doing is on track with the end product we want.”
A transfer student from the University of Tulsa, Ostrander is experienced in the short-form type of improv, similar to what can be seen on “Whose Line is it Anyway?”. “I joined Grandma Mojo’s Moonshine Revival [because] we focus on long-form improv, which is very scenic based,” Ostrander said. “It’s less about gags and jokes and more about exploring a story or scene.” The second part of Peterson’s production will be the product of the improvisation in first part. Peterson’s project will be finished for the spring semester.

4 Cyclones find global competition in summer USA Volleyball programs By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com Leading their team to a 22-8 record and the Sweet Sixteen last season was not enough for some members of the ISU volleyball team. Instead of spending the summer in Ames, four returning Cyclones went on to compete in USA Volleyball development programs after their 2012 season. The Cyclones competed against other elite volleyball players from across the country and around the world. “They ate it up. I felt like they really got a lot out of that,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “Any time you do something like that I think you come back a little more confident player. You’re playing a little bit higher level than maybe you had been.” Sophomore defensive specialist Caitlin Nolan made the USA Women’s Junior National Team this summer. She practiced at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, N.Y. Nolan traveled to the Czech Republic to compete in the Women’s Under 20 World Championship. The United States won one of its four matches in pool play in the tournament. The United States finished in 17th place in the tournament. Nolan led her team in digs with nine in its final match, a 3-0 win against Puerto Rico. Although the team did not advance to tournament play, Nolan said she learned from playing with athletes other than her teammates at Iowa State. “It was just a really good experience. Definitely playing with girls that I’ve never played was good just to learn how to adapt,” Nolan said. “I think it’ll help a lot, definitely just getting my hands on the ball over summer. [It’s] just more reps that I probably wouldn’t have gotten.” Three other Cyclones competed in the USA Women’s National Volleyball A2 program during the summer. Senior libero Kristen Hahn, junior outside hitter Victoria Hurtt and junior right side hitter Mackenzie Bigbee all were selected for the program.

ISU volleyball had four players attend developmental programs during the summer. Caitlin Nolan, Kristen Hahn, Mackenzie Bigbee and Victoria Hurtt all spent the summer honing their skills from all across the country and even across the ocean to the Czech Republic.
The program was a training camp combined with a tournament held in Dallas. In total, 47 volleyball players attended the program and Iowa State was one of six schools with three or more players selected. “I learned how to connect with different girls from all over in a very short period of time,” Hahn said. “Some people need encouragement. Some people need
you to get on them. I think if you can figure those things out, then you can put a team together really quickly.” The players were divided up into four different teams. Bigbee’s team won a silver medal in the tournament while Hahn and Hurtt’s team came in fourth place. Bigbee had two kills in her team’s final win in pool play. Hurtt led her team
with 17 kills and two blocks in the bronze medal match while Hahn totaled 12 digs for their team. “You learn different coaching styles, how to play with different people on the spot,” Hurtt said. “It’ll help me realize that you have to work with different people all the time and you have to adjust. You have to be willing to adjust at any point in time.”
Capezio makes big impact in freshman season Hitter proves worth with 2.67 kills per set By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com Every year, college volleyball teams have freshman players come in and hope to be able to contribute even just a little bit to their teams in their very first season at the Division I level. ISU freshman Ciara Capezio, however, has been a big presence for the Cyclones so far this season. The outside hitter from Williams Bay, Wis., has been putting up big numbers with 2.94 kills per set, which ranks second on the team behind Mackenzie Bigbee, who has 3.16 kills per set. She also has 2.26 digs per set, which ranks third behind Jenelle Hudson (3 kills per set) and Kristen Hahn (5.47 kills per set). “I knew what she was capable of,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “It’s very difficult for a freshman to come in and do that because it’s an overwhelming process your first year, so I think she’s been amazing. She’s really just a nice allaround player. She’s a great server, a really nice passer. “I couldn’t be more pleased with what she’s doing, honestly.” After a strong debut against South Dakota State on Aug. 30, where Capezio had 12 kills, she had only four against North Dakota and two against Texas A&M in the next two matches and was averaging 1.8 kills per game after the first three matches of her collegiate career. Four days later, she showed signs of dominance with 22 kills in Cedar Falls, Iowa, against Northern Iowa and raised her average to 2.67 kills per set. “In the beginning, it was rough for my game, but now that the season’s going on it’s getting better,” Capezio said. “I’m hoping to get way better by the end of the season.” Senior libero Kristen Hahn said she has seen a lot of “resilience” out of Capezio

so far this season. “She bounces back. She might not have the best game but she’s able to … just dust it off her shoulder and come back and have a killer game,” Hahn said. “When we remind her to hit high, she does exactly those things, or go after the ball, she does those, so as teammates we just have to keep encouraging her and let her know that she can do everything.”
Since Capezio has shown what she can do on the court, Johnson-Lynch said the expectations for the freshman player are a little different than if she wasn’t capable. “I think we’ll keep expecting more on her because she’s capable of it. If she wasn’t capable we’d give her a very limited role,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We’re having her serve; we’re having her pass. … We’re expecting her to score. We’re expecting a

lot because what I’ve seen so far.” The former back-to-back Wisconsin high school state champion said the “mental side of things” has been the biggest challenge in making the transition from high school to college volleyball. “Practicing all the time, 100 percent all the time,” Capezio said. “I had days where I couldn’t even walk because I so sore, but I just had to find a way.”

Despite woes, soccer sees improvement By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com To a casual fan, the state of the ISU soccer might be less than favorable position heading into a matchup against instate rival Northern Iowa. But don’t tell that to ISU coach Wendy Dillinger. The Cyclones (4-4) might have a 1-4 record in the month of September, and Iowa State has had its fair share of nonconference challenges. Yet even after being outscored 8-2 in games against Santa Clara and Stanford, Dillinger has seen improvement. “The thing that was encouraging for our team was scoring first against Santa Clara,” Dillinger said. “Heading into Stanford, knowing they were ranked third in the country, just to be able to stay in games with teams of that caliber was very encouraging.” There has been no shortage of talent on the nonconference schedule. Iowa State’s four losses come to teams with a combined record of 24-3-1. Despite being outscored 3-0 in the second half against Santa Clara, the Cyclones stayed competitive for much of the game. The now No. 22 Broncos capitalized on a few ISU miscues to pull away in the second half. Even more encouraging was the performance against now No. 2 Stanford. After a hard-fought first half, ISU forward Jennifer Dominguez scored in the opening 15 seconds of the second half to tie the game. Stanford was able to outscore Iowa State and hold on to a 3-1 win. The Cyclones were helped by strong performances from goalkeeper Maddie Jobe and Dominguez. Jobe recorded 10 saves in each game in Iowa State’s trip to California. “Maddie Jobe was phenomenal against Stanford,”
Dillinger said. “She’s been a steady, consistent performer.” Dominguez cemented herself as the team’s offensive leader, leading the team in points through eight games into the season. She currently ranks third all-time in ISU history for points scored. However, in a team led by a strong senior class, an outlier is paving the way for the future. Freshman forward Koree Willer is turning heads and is second on the team in scoring behind Dominguez. “I’m definitely thankful for the opportunities I’ve had,” Willer said. “I couldn’t have obviously done it without the team. I wanted to make as much of an impact as I could and it’s been good so far.” Heading into the final two nonconference games, Willer has two goals and an assist. Both goals she hit home ended up being game-winners. Willer is one-of-six Cyclones hailing from Fort Collins, Colo. All were coached in club soccer by ISU assistant coach Tony Minatta, who is in his second year of coaching with Iowa State. While Willer’s impact has been noticeable on the field, she said she has to work on being a leader in the future before the senior class leaves. Even with Willer’s current success, Dillinger sees untapped potential in the freshman. “She is talented,” Dillinger said of Willer. “But recognizing and realizing that she can change the game at will, that’s something she will gain through experience. “She is a scoring threat every time she gets the ball and she needs to realize that.” The Cyclones have a prime opportunity to head into the conference schedule on a high note, facing two teams with only one win each with those against Northern Iowa (1-7-0) and St. Louis (1-6-1). The Cyclones are scheduled to face the Panthers at 7 p.m. Friday in Waterloo, Iowa.
