Ames:

Tibetan monks have started building a sand mandala in the Memorial Union. An opening ceremony for the creation of the mandala marked the beginning of a four-day series of events that is planned to teach the ISU community about the mandala and Tibetan culture. Before the monks begin work on the sand mandala they must work through a few steps. The first, said one monk, is to examine in the site. In this case, the decision was to build the mandala in the Main Lounge of the Memorial Union. The monks then request per-

mission from the local deities so the monks do not encroach on their territory. The monks then have to dispel obstacles or hindrances through chants and music. Immediately after the opening ceremonies in the MU, the monks began drawing lines for the mandala. According to the monks, the creation of a mandala helps maintain memory and is about meditation and the happier things in life, such as love and the reduction of stress. The monks said the mandala is also about finding the center and essence of ultimate beliefs. The mandala will be completed at 11 a.m. Thursday, and the dispersal of sand will be at 12:45 p.m. The dispersal of sand is the destruction of the mandala, an act to symbolize that all life will come to an end.

Events Tuesday, Sept. 20 Mandala Construction: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Community Sand Painting: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21 Mandala Construction: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Community Sand Painting: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Symbolism of the Sand Mandala: 8:15 p.m. (Sun Room, MU) Thursday, Sept. 22 Mandala Completion: 10 to 11 a.m. View Completed Mandala: 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. Closing Ceremony: 12 to 12:45 p.m. Dispersal of the Sand: 12:45 p.m.

The Iowa State Presidential Search committee announced the two finalists for the presidential search, who will be visiting campus next week for open forums and meetings with Leath student representatives. “I think we are looking forward to very strong candidates coming to campus,” said Dean of Business, Lahb Hira, co-chair of the presidential search committee. “Both are eminently qualified candidates and they are looking forward to being president of Subbaswamy Iowa State University.” After selecting four finalists, Steven Leath, vice president for research and sponsored programs for the University of North Carolina System Chapel Hill, and Kumble Subbaswamy, provost of the University of Kentucky Lexington were left after two of the other candidates withdrew from the search. The two candidates will be visiting campus on Sept. 21 through the 23, and the 22 through the 24 to participate in open forums and interact with ISU faculty and students. “The students will be represented when those groups of elevated leaders meet with the candidates,” said Roger Underwood, co-chair of the committee. “I think that students will be very involved, as long as they participate in the forum.” The open forums will be held in 2019 Morrill Hall Sept. 22 at 3:45 for Subbaswamy, and Sept. 23 and 3:45 for Leath. Students will be able to pose questions to the candidates and interact directly with them. The candidates will also be meeting with the deans of all of the colleges, the GSB leadership, the graduate student body president and representatives for the current president of ISU as well. Although the current president, Geogory Geoffrey, will be missed, Underwood was confident with the committee’s decision. “The committee and I are just excited to bring the candidates to campus. Both candidates have said that they have big shoes to fill,” Underwood said. “We think these candidates are qualified to be the next [president].” Neither candidate was available for comment.

Mascot

Cy takes a tumble at UConn Beloved mascot falls down stairs and breaks arm By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com Cy the mascot just can’t seem to stay away from the limelight. The ISU mascot, who is currently entered in the Capital One Mascot Challenge – a competition in which fans were caught illegally voting for Cy – also was involved in some controversy over the weekend. While the facts are still unclear, what is known is that Zane Brugenhemke, who was the student inside the Cy costume, broke his arm after falling down steps at Rentschler Field during Iowa State’s 24-20 victory against Connecticut. How exactly Brugenhemke fell is what is in dispute. One account says that Brugenhemke, in the costume, tripped and fell, breaking both bones in his left forearm. Another account claims he

Regents

Board meets for funding discussion The Iowa State Board of Regents will be meeting today in Des Moines at the West Des Moines Sheraton Hotel to discuss several items, many of which will directly affect ISU students and programs. One item will be the potential repeal of the Grow Iowa Values Fund and eventual replacement with new business development programs. GIVF was originally a $5 million program, but in response to the continued budget cuts, it has been reduced to $1.5 million. Accordingly, Iowa State has cut $424,000 from the infrastructure allocation and $7,459,000 to the original project allocation. The program itself is designed to build and sustain projects that will lead to increased commercial activity to new and existing Iowa companies. There is also a need to identify and assist new projects that can contribute to Iowa’s economy. Fund cuts have removed the projects to improve existing companies and have left only ones for new companies. They also plan to discuss the Iowa State Recreation fee deferral. The original recreation fee for the current academic year was $321.60. Because of the incompletion of the new State Gym recreation facility, however, the Regents will be considering refunding students $89.95 per semester of activity fees for full-time students. The Regents will also be releasing information regarding the uniform crime statistics for the recent quarter. Daily Staff

“Glee’s” Dot Marie Jones predicted that co-star Jane Lynch would kill it, and the viewers seem to agree: Lynch, although she didn’t win an Emmy, earned accolades from critics as the host of the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards. Salon.com critiques that last night’s Emmys was a “surprisingly non-boring awards show.” USA Today, however, wouldn’t go quite as far as to call it “exciting.” The New York Times, however, found her to be a bit self-conscious. “Lynch occasionally stepped up in an appealing way....[But] A little like the show, she couldn’t be calmed down and made more than one reference to being gay, which didn’t seem that pertinent to the night.” But we’ll have to agree with Salon that her line, “A lot of people are curious why I’m a lesbian. Ladies and gentleman, the cast of ‘Entourage,’” was the best of the night.

Four depart ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ The rumors are true! Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City” is losing four cast members. CNN has confirmed that Jill Zarin, Alex McCord, Kelly Bensimon and Cindy Barshop are not returning for season five. A Bravo spokesperson told CNN: “Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and LuAnn De Lesseps will be returning for season five of ‘The Real Housewives of New York City.’” But don’t mourn the loss of these ladies just yet. McCord is already hinting at a new TV project, emailing People: “Of course Simon and I are sad not to continue with ‘RHONY’ but it’s a friendly decision, and discussions with Bravo are ongoing for other projects.”

By Michael.Craighton @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State University professor of political science, David Peterson, has been selected to serve as the interim director of the Harkin Institute of Public Policy, a nonpartisan center housed at Iowa State that would focus on studying issues in the realm of public policy and public affairs. A Minnesota native, Peterson has been at Iowa State for only three years. Prior to his position at ISU, Peterson spent nine years at Texas A&M. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. “I grew up in the upper Midwest; I went kindergarten through Ph.D. within 100 miles, all around Minneapolis and then moved to Texas,” Peterson said. “I’m glad, though, to get back to [the] upper Midwest. It feels like home in many ways.” Peterson has taught a variety of classes at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and mostly focuses on Congress and state and local government. In the spring, he will teach research design and research methods for undergraduate political science majors. Last year Peterson taught Women in Politics, despite his being the “least unqualified person” to teach the course. “It was a difficult class, kind of outside of my research area,” Peterson said. At the graduate level, Peterson teaches research method and design, as well as a broad class in American politics. His main research area is American politics, including public opinion in elections, but he has also written about Congress, the Presidency, and currently the Supreme Court.

ing the Iowa Caucuses,” Oliver said. “Dave Peterson came up because this is something he just cares a lot about. A lot of his stuff has to do with the politics of opinion.” As a state institution, permanent positions must be made openly available. However, because his appointment is only for one or two years, Peterson was able to be appointed without performing a wider search. “He was the logical choice and willing to do it,” Oliver said. “He was such a perfect fit that there were really no others considered for the position.” A long-term director will likely be sought both from within the university and from outside, but the selection depends significantly on how much money is available. Being the interim and also the first director, Peterson has the responsibility to direct the initial organizational step that will be taken. “There is no advisory board yet,” Peterson said. “There is no charter or set of rules or mission statement.” Part of his job this academic year will involve drafting those and setting the course for where the institute will go in the future. “There really won’t be much in the way of programmatic activities this year. This is really more of an institution building year.” He said that he is hoping the institute will be fully up and running by fall of 2012. “This is an institute designed to support academic research on the areas Sen. Harkin was interested in,” Peterson said. “Harkin’s interests will direct the agenda of the research, but not the content.” The research performed by the center will in no way be partisan, nor will it direct its research to support the views

of Harkin. Currently, Peterson is studying similar institutes at universities across the country, including the Domenici Institute at New Mexico State University, the Dole Institute at the University of Kansas, and the McConnell Institute at Louisville, among others, in order to see what is going well and what is not. He is planning to visit a few of the other centers in the spring. Unlike many institutes at other universities, the Harkin

Institute is not likely to have a separate building. “Buildings cost money,” Peterson said. “My vision is one where the money that’s raised is spent on research.” One of his goals is to support the students and, hopefully, bring in visiting faculty from other universities. An advisory board, to be appointed by President Gregory Geoffroy, will provide oversight, and the Institute will report to the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

Big 12

Military

OU thinking realignment

‘Don’t ask’ no longer

By James Corley The Oklahoma Daily

DUXBURY, Vt. (AP) — When Navy Lt. Gary Ross and his partner were searching for a place to get married, they settled on a site in Vermont, in part because the state is in the Eastern time zone. That way, the two men could recite their vows at the first possible moment after the formal repeal of the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The partners of 11 years plan to get married at the stroke of midnight, just as the ban ends. “We feel that it’s important that as soon as we’re allowed to commit to each other that we do,” Ross said Monday. “It’s important not to hide anymore.” Hours before the change was to take effect early Tuesday, the American military was also making final preparations for the historic policy shift. The Pentagon announced that it was already accepting applications from openly gay candidates, although officials said they would wait a day before reviewing them. Ross, 33, and Dan Swezy, a 49-year-old civilian, traveled from their home in Tucson, Ariz., so they could get married in Vermont, the first state to allow gays to enter into civil unions and one of six that have legalized same-sex marriage. Ross planned to wear his dress whites for the ceremony beginning at 11:45 p.m. Monday at Duxbury’s Moose Meadow Lodge, a log cabin bed-and-breakfast perched on a hillside about 15 miles northwest of Montpelier. The lodge says it hosted the state’s first gay wedding in 2009. Justice of the Peace Greg Trulson was to proclaim the marriage at exactly midnight. “This is Gary’s official coming out,” Trulson said. Pentagon press secretary George Little said Monday that the military is prepared for the end of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” a practice adopted in 1993 that allowed gays to serve as long as they did not openly acknowledge their sexual orientation. Commanders weren’t allowed to ask. Last week, the Pentagon said 97 percent of the military has undergone training in the new law.

The future of OU’s involvement in the Big 12 Conference — and perhaps the future of the conference itself — is now in OU President David Boren’s hands. After more than an hour of deliberation in executive session Monday in Tulsa, the OU Board of Regents gave all decision-making authority to Boren concerning the university’s future conference affiliation. The board was careful to withhold as much information as possible about the elusive Item 28 on the board’s agenda, simply titled “conference realignment,” with a short statement: “No action needs to be taken at this time.” After working in the open on the first 26 agenda items, the board withdrew to discuss in private raises for OU football coach Bob Stoops and OU athletic director Joe Castiglione. The board also discussed the potential offers from other conferences — namely the Pac-12 Conference — and financial or legal ramifications of joining a different conference. The regents announced they would leave the decision up to Boren. Boren addressed a stable of reporters after the meeting was adjurned, saying the most important thing for OU to consider when weighing conference options is long-term stability. “Obviously we do not want to continue to have these kinds of situations where our membership in a conference is still undecided (and) has to be revisited every year, the stability of the conference has to be revisited every year,” Boren said. “We’re still looking very carefully at our options. We’re having conversations with others. Obviously there’s more than one option before us, in terms of considering what to do.” Whichover course of action Boren decides to take, he said OU will work with Oklahoma State. “Whatever we do, we’re going to do it together,” he said. “I think that’s very good news for the state of Oklahoma. It shows the kind of quality of cooperation and unity that strengthens our state.” The Oklahoma State regents have a scheduled meeting Wednesday,

when they are expected to say they are working with OU to determine the best future for the pair and potentially grant decision-making power to OSU President Burns Hargis. Boren said the OU Board of Regents and the OSU Board of Regents are unified in what they should do and the factors they should consider, putting both schools in a stronger position than they would be otherwise. The Texas Board of Regents also met Monday but opted to hold on to decision-making power if the Longhorns wish to leave the Big 12. Despite the more conservative announcement from UT, Boren emphasized the relationship and healthy rivalry between the Sooners and Longhorns. “I think we’re always stronger when Texas and Oklahoma move together,” he said. However, he said it’s still too early to tell whether the schools are moving toward a common decision yet. Boren said the threat of litigation from other member schools of the Big 12 has in no way changed his position. “I can only say I don’t think you build trust and I don’t think you build stability in a conference by the threat of litigation,” he said. “If it takes the threat of litigation to keep a conference together, that’s not the right way to proceed.” Boren also said he would not dismiss the possibility the Big 12 may survive, saying the option to stay in the conference has not been taken off the table. So all eyes are now on Boren, but little has actually changed. OU has been viewed as the one to make a move — if there is a move to be made — for some time now, but there’s a little more of a sense of urgency now. Over the weekend, Big East Conference members Syracuse and Pittsburgh announced they had applied to the Atlantic Coast Conference, and it’s rumored the Big East has since been in talks with the Big 12 about a potential merger with the schools left behind if OU, OSU, Texas and Texas Tech make a move to the Pac-12 and Texas A&M is allowed to join the Southeastern Conference. The dominoes are starting to fall — all that’s left is for Boren to push his.

In preparation for Tuesday’s repeal, all branches of the military have spent several months updating regulations. Lifting the ban also brings a halt to all pending investigations, discharges and other proceedings that were begun under the old law. President Barack Obama signed the law last December and in July certified that lifting the ban will not diminish the military’s ability to fight. Some in Congress remain opposed to repeal, arguing that it may undermine order and discipline. Existing standards of personal conduct, such as those pertaining to public displays of affection, will continue regardless of sexual orientation. There will be no immediate changes to eligibility for military benefits. All service members are already entitled to certain benefits, such as designating a partner as a life insurance beneficiary or as a caregiver in the Wounded Warrior program. But Swezy won’t receive military health insurance or access to a support group when Ross is at sea. Gay marriage is an even thornier issue. A Navy proposal to train chaplains to conduct same-sex civil unions in states where they are legal was shelved earlier this year after more than five dozen lawmakers objected. The Pentagon is reviewing the issue. Ross, a 2002 graduate of the Naval Academy, is a surface warfare officer at the Army’s Fort Huachuca. He expects to return to sea next spring. He met Swezy in early 2000 while Ross was still an academy student. At the time, he didn’t think through the personal implications of the military’s ban on gay and lesbian service members serving openly. But as his relationship with Swezy grew, it became important. Their Tucson home is about a two-hour commute from Fort Huachuca, which is near the Mexican border.

These facts were confirmed by the student mascot in an interview with police,” the spokesman stated That account was contradicted by Brugenhemke on his Facebook account following the game, saying “Fan pushed me out of the stands ... eight foot drop onto concrete.” When asked by the Daily, Brugenhemke declined comment on the matter. Further contrary to the official UConn statement, a fan who claims to have witnessed the incident also took to social media to give his account as to what happened. Scott McDonough, of Urbandale, tweeted with his @MacFloyd44 account to a member of the media that “there is so much wrong with official statement...” and that “Cy did not trip down stairs. He was pushed off opposite side of stairs...off the edge. We have picture w cy where he landed.” McDonough could not be reached for comment. When contacted by the Daily, Enright defended the official UConn statement, saying both UConn and ISU officials were content with the initial investigation at the scene. “ISU [officials] were pleased with the findings of the police,” Enright said. Charges were not filed initally following the incident by Brugenhemke or any other party. No official investigation beyond what happened at the scene has yet to take place.

cus become clear, but “Justin thinks that his beard gives him special powers and is the key to his ability to wield an ax,” Helmich shared. Edwards admits that timbersports can be challenging. “This sport isn’t for everyone,” he said. “It takes time and dedication to really comprehend the disciplines required for correctly using this equipment. There’s a lot to think about in this sport than in many others. When you step up to compete, everything you’ve been working for is reflected through your speed, precision, accuracy, power and repetition. In individual events, there is no one else to depend on except yourself and your time is reflected in how well you’ve practiced, that’s the true competition — practice.” The benefits he has received through his participation in the Forestry Club and in timbersports are endless. “[It] has provided me a unique opportunity to meet and work with professionals, travel and network with other peers, and make lasting friendships in Forestry,” he said “I

By Mary-Kate.Burkert @iowastatedaily.com Justin Edwards, senior in forestry, is a stump above the rest when it comes to timber sports and the Forestry Club at Iowa State. He is president of Xi Sigma Pi, the Forestry Honor Society and secretary of the Student Chapter of the Society of American Foresters. He first got involved with the Forestry club after he transferred from the Des Moines Area Community College in the fall of 2009. “I didn’t know anyone in the forestry department, and it was an easy way for me to get to know fellow students,” Edwards said. “It was also a great way to become an active member of the department.” “I didn’t start training or really competing until this past April, after Iowa State’s Aaron Kienol took second in the STIHL Collegiate Timbersports Series at Purdue,” he said. “Someone had to step up to the plate to take on next year’s competitors. Throughout the summer, Aaron has been coaching me through vigorous weight training sessions, guiding me through a variety of chopping and sawing disciplines. Both of us, along with Laura Helmich, have been working with timber sport professionals and competing at professional competitions throughout the Midwest, from Clinton, Iowa, to Park Rapids, Minn.” Helmich, timbersports chair of the Forestry Club, added, “Training with Justin and

Aaron this summer was great because we all pushed each other to suck less and do better. This was our team motto.” Edwards went on to joke, “I won 25 dollars at Park Rapids, so I can be considered semi-pro!”

When questioned about his favorite aspect of timbersports he said, “The silence before I bring the rain. Once you step up into position to chop or saw and the cadence begins, everything goes silent. The adrenaline flows quickly

through your veins and your focus narrows on one goal: getting the job done as fast as possible. Those three seconds are everything. That is my favorite part.” Not only do Edwards’ adrenaline flow and his fo-

have already seen an improvement in myself and among others who are active members within the Forestry Club and the department of natural resource ecology and management. It has also allowed me to find out about different career paths. In the end, the real benefit from my involvement is the comradery and team building dynamics that result from being involved in such competition.” Edwards is enthusiastic for this coming timbersports season. “The beginning of October marks the beginning of the Collegiate Timbersports season. The timbersports team will be up at Cloquet, MN competing against Minnesota, Steven’s Point, and several teams. According to Edwards, the best competitors will be from Point. “We have a close relationship with [them] and have been competing with [them] over the summer.” The timbersports competitions will be throughout the year at a variety of locations throughout the Midwest and in Kentucky.

Editorial

Come talk to presidential candidates The two finalists for the next presidency of Iowa State were named last night, and they will be on campus later this week. Kumble Subbasswamy, provost of the University of Kentucky, will be here Thursday afternoon. Steven Leath, vice president for research and sponsored programs for the University of North Carolina System, will be here Friday afternoon. Each will give a short presentation and then answer questions in an open forum. If you have any interest at all in participating in the next variety of your university’s administration or in knowing where it’s headed, you should go. On average, presidencies last ten years. Your education here will take up four of those, if you graduate on time. And with more of you graduating in five or six, your stake in having a good president who cares about you and the quality and competitiveness of your education has increased. The amount of time you’re going to spend here should multiply the likelihood that you’ll be getting one of those 74 seats up in Morrill 2019. If you’re dissatisfied with the way Iowa State or any subsidiary aspect of it is run, you should go to these meetings and ask the candidates what they think of the issues confronting you, the students, the people they work for, on a daily basis. The future belongs to the people who live in it: you. The reason is simple math: twenty-somethings probably have 45-60 years left to live; seventy-somethings have 15-20. Sadly, most students don’t care. If they can’t be troubled to vote for the next president, why should we think they’ll take two hours out of their time to impact who will set university policy for the next decade? Voter apathy, particularly among youths, shouldn’t exist. Think of some of the better (and worse) movements in history. From Martin Luther King Jr.’s activity for civil rights in the 1960s to Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign for president to Hitler’s rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany, youths have been at the heart of innumerable political campaigns that shaped or even fundamentally altered their worlds. If you act in the appropriate forum, you can make yourself heard. You can persuade people to agree with you, or you can temper their actions with your own wit and wisdom. You can’t do that if you don’t show up. If you don’t take the afternoon off from your nap on Central Campus, you may find that another section of that vast expanse in the middle of a city has been fenced off. You may be timid and ask by what right should you attend these open forums. You have a voice, don’t you? Editorial Board

Politics

Dangerous ideas of facism

y colleague Jessica Bruning did an excellent job portraying conservatism, liberalism, and socialism in her series on ‘-isms’, but I feel that one more must be concentrated on before settling the matter. And that final ‘-ism’ is perhaps the most dangerous to the human condition: fascism. When first thinking about fascism, two historical instances that come to mind are Nazi Germany and Italy under Benito Mussolini. Both of these states were totalitarian in nature and were under constant oppression. But what is fascism? It is sometimes hard to define because it has been rather isolated in occurrence and because it is such a recent phenomenon compared to other political theories. The first and most important institution of fascism is unity. More specifically, the unity of the group. This is where the totalitarian mindset first arises. A common misconception of totalitarianism is that there must be a single ruler. Totalitarianism is merely the adherence to a single mentality by everyone - there does not have to be an authoritarian figure to have totalitarianism. It certainly facilitates the situation, as the leader is able to have sway over the actions of the group, but a leader is not always required. Unity creates a system that not only opposes anything that is ‘other’ but seeks to either convert or eliminate them. Other political parties must not be allowed to continue; they must be dismantled. Compromise is forbidden, as it shows weakness on the dominant group’s behalf. Enormous propaganda campaigns are undertaken in order to discredit other viewpoints and portray them as not only wrong, but evil. A common symbol of fascism is the fasces, which are a bundle of wooden sticks that are tied together, complete with an emerging axe head. This symbolizes that the individual sticks, like the individual person, are weak and unimportant isolated, but gain power only when combined into a group. If you have ever been to Washington, D.C. or watched C-SPAN, you have probably seen this symbol. It is present on the Lincoln Memorial and in the House of Representatives. However, in the American scheme, the fasces symbolizes that the pluralist collection of unique individuals acting together is the art of politics, a key foundation of this country. Another important aspect of fascism is a very intense form of patriotism that coincides with xenophobia and ethnocentrism. This links back to that fear of the ‘other’ and the drive to either force assimilation of other cultures or bar them from entering the dominant culture to begin with. Other characteristics that go along with this powerful form of nationalism is an obedience to the state and militarism. ‘Freedom’ turns into being completely submissive to the authority, with the eradication of the private realm. Betrayal or a sense of victimization was rampant in the formation of Nazi Germany. After World War I, Germans felt uneasiness after the Treaty of Versailles, a concern that a young demagogue named Adolf Hitler was quick to exploit. By blaming the loss of the War and the hyperinflation that soon followed on groups other than Germans, the Nazi Party went from a handful of meetings at beer halls to the verge of conquering Europe in a matter of years. Treating yourself like a victim implies that enacting ‘revenge’ on those who mistreated you is justice, no matter what the outcome.

By Jacob.Witte @iowastatedaily.com Anti-intellectualism is also rampant within fascist cultures. Because fascist regimes forced themselves onto the masses, they obviously had to cater the lowest common denominator to attract as many as possible. Thus, intellectuals were not trusted, institutions of science and higher learning were abolished, and the exodus of intellectuals ensued. This hatred was in light of intellectuals being able to resist tyranny; they were aware of what was happening, and had the capacity to speak out against it. But they were merely a small boat trying to paddle against a torrent of volatile waters; it is only a matter of time before something has to give, and the water is very strong. Artists were also included in this, as musicians, actors, poets, artists and the like were intimidated until they either con-

formed or emigrated, or worse. A complete distrust and revulsion of higher culture led to a single civil society that was controlled by the state; so interwoven was the state and civil society that the difference between the two vanished. On the economic front, Mussolini described fascism as a ‘Third Way’ between capitalism and socialism. Where capitalism led to the pursuit of huge gains by a few, private individuals, socialism led to the inevitable class struggle - both scenarios pitted society against itself. It came to be that a corporatist state soon emerged, a state where corporations and government were linked in such a way that they were indistinguishable. Unlike the political theories covered before by Ms. Bruning, fascism is itself not a political theory; it is rather the absence of rational political thought. It is merely a reactionary force that stems from xenophobia, ethnocentrism, intense nationalism, obedience to the state, militarism, and fierce anti-intellectualism. Sound familiar?

School

Clickers scheduled expulsion from class

tarting next year the university has recommended all professors to discontinue the practice of grading with the use of clickers. Oh, how I do wish that these actions by the university were true because currently, clickers don’t teach us students anything other than the results of technology not working. Some might like the use of clickers because they like the participation or ability to get easy points, but should those be the right reasons for college learning? In the past, and still somewhat today, professors take note of those who participate in class. Now, and more prevalent today, professors might notice who asks more questions, but your participation is ultimately measured through the use of clickers. Participation should never be used to just reward those who answer a usually easy quiz question through the use of a very simple, but overpriced, device that we have to buy. Participation should instead reward those who participate in the discussion and advancement of learning in all of our classes. If you don’t feel like raising your hand or participating, then you

By Derek.Jensen @iowastatedaily.com should not be rewarded for your negligence. I see clickers as just testing to see if we are all on the same page and paying attention, and this is really unnecessary when we already take quizzes and tests outside the days of learning new material. When professors, with these clickers in mind, write their syllabus for a specific class, the use of clickers receives too much focus. Rather than focusing on the quality of the curriculum and activities, the focus is put on what percentage of your grade is of clicker points, what those clicker questions are going to be, when will the questions be asked, and answers to what happens if someone’s clicker fails to work. When looking at a syllabus for a class, I want to see a majority of it just to be the schedule and requirements to complete the class rather than all the details, guidelines and

rules to ensure the clickers are used properly and, if they aren’t, what repercussions should I be aware of. Recently in a class that uses clickers, a discussion began to arise questioning how these clicker points would be measured and affected in our grade. If we didn’t even have to worry about these clickers, in this specific class, we could have been learning more. Again, I know some that don’t mind all of this temporary frustration or waste of time and find the use of clickers to be rewarding, but their reasons are really just poor excuses. Think about the days before the use of clickers. I’m sure students were engaged in the material, and I will argue that they were even more so engaged. Yes, we have many more distractions these days and very short attention spans, but bettering the way our curriculum is presented and rewarding those who participate to strive for learning can be and often is done without the use of clickers. Both professors and students are getting lazy, and this is when technology needs to stay away from the classroom environment. Many professors think

that, because we use so much technology today, clickers would please us. The scary truth is that they do please some of us, but they are for the wrong reasons. It’s time to get back to the way that learning in college should be. Hopefully more students will realize the importance of putting more effort into their education versus their ability to just locate the answer in their notes or PowerPoint slides and then press a number on a keypad. And if there must be clickers in a classroom for interaction purposes, then I hope professors use them for either bonus points or non-graded participation. No clickers for grading equals more attention to the quality of our learning and realization of how hard students want to try to succeed at a college level. Clickers can still be used, but only to enhance the material being learned instead of just rewarding participation and allowing students to gain easy points.

Immigration

I have a dream of a DREAM Act Illiegal minors deserve betterment

irst introduced in 2001, the DREAM Act, short for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, has been bounced back and forth between the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and repeatedly failed. The bipartisan bill was drafted to create an avenue for children brought to the United Sates before the age of 16 obtain permanent residency, by serving two years in the military or attending college within six years of high school graduation. An estimated 50,000 to 65,000 undocumented children graduate from US high schools only to find themselves with out any options to better themselves. Because they are undocumented, they are not eligible to: get driver’s license, register to vote, attend college in some states, qualify for in-state tuition in states that allow attendance, apply for financial aid for college, or even apply for a job. Most of these children have no recollection of the country they were born in They speak fluent English and, if asked where they are from, would respond the United States. Even though they have spent the same amount of time in the United States as myself, a U.S. citizen, their reality is tragically different. The lack of citizenship forces so many into an underground labor market that constructs an inequitable underground economy. Not only do undocumented immigrants work in this underground economy, but also they live in constant fear of deportation because of harsh immigration laws in states like Arizona and Georgia. Without the proper identification, undocumented workers can be deported for simple things like traffic tickets. Laws and practices like these have innate issues of racial profiling and are incredibly racist. Undocumented youth should have every right to access higher education and citizenship as I do. Why should I receive the right to higher education because my parents were born in the United States? These students had no say in where they were born or in moving to the United States, so why should the U.S. prevent them from obtaining the “American Dream”? They lived an American childhood and grew side by side with us. Why are they treated differently? This is a daily reality for nearly 65,000 undocumented youth that graduate from high school each year. Many of these students graduate at the top of their class, yet because of their legal status, they are barred from higher education, barred from obtaining any glimpse of

By Elliott.DeVore @iowastatedaily.com the “American Dream.” This blatant injustice is infuriating and brings me to tears. It is hard for me to understand why the DREAM Act repeatedly fails to pass. It’s a reality everywhere in the U.S. and we need to start paying attention. The 2010 census data shows that of over half of the population growth in the last decade consisted of Latino/a people. It addition it reported that 23 percent of the total U.S. population are Latino/a. With such a large percentage of the United States’ youth being Latino/a and possibly immigrants we see how directly the DREAM Act impacts not only their futures but also the future of the U.S. as a whole. In Iowa, it has been reported that six percent of the labor force is undocumented workers, and many of them work hard labor or factory jobs, such as meat packing facilities. Iowa has a huge need in labor positions and unskilled work, and undocumented workers are often those who fill them. There has been a history of spotlight on undocumented workers throughout the state, especially in the meat packing industry. Federal raids on many plants in Marshalltown and Potsville, Iowa have deeply impacted the meat packing industry, causing the loss of employees. During the raids many employees were found to be in the U.S. illegally, with others to have committed identity fraud to obtain employment. Because so many employees were removed, such raids have ceased. It is very possible that many of those employees were brought to the U.S. as minors and took employment because they legally had no other options. Though Iowa has had negative images surround immigration, a state-level DREAM Act was proposed in 2004. The Iowa DREAM Act passed in the State House of Representatives, but unfortunately the Senate did not even consider it. Currently undocumented youth can attend Iowa State University, but they must pay out-of-state tuition, which costs several thousand dollars more than in-state tuition, even if they grew up in Iowa and attended an Iowa high school. Doesn’t seem fair, does it? Not only do undocumented youth have to pay out-of-state tuition at Iowa State, they also can’t apply for scholarships or Federal Pell Grants or loans through the FAFSA. If you are like me, it would be impossible to attend college with out Pell Grants,

scholarships and loans. Now let’s revisit the statistic I gave earlier, if 6 percent of Iowa’s work force is undocumented, think about how many of those workers have families. A percentage of those families’ children won’t be able to obtain an education because it is not a financial reality, or obtain a living wage job because of their legal status. If the majority of Iowa’s job market is in the agriculture and meat industry related, which typically has had a higher percentage of undocumented workers, why are we disenfranchising productive community members from obtaining an education because of legal status? Fall 2011 enrollment of Iowa State Students that were categorized as “Hispanic/ Latino, of any race” was 993 which is roughly 3 percent of the total student population. Remember, the census said that 9 percent of Iowa youth under 18 were Hispanic. I wonder if there is any correlation to current practices with undocumented youth. If the DREAM Act were to pass, it would allow undocumented youth in Iowa and across the nation to qualify for in-state tuition, federal loans, Pell Grants and scholarships, and eligibility for the armed services. This is would provide a larger percentage of our nations youth a means to obtain legal residency. Further, if someone is a citizen you can tax their income, which means more tax revenue for the government! The DREAM Act is crucial for the future of Iowa and the Nation by securing opportunities for a better life. It’s important that we stay informed and write our representatives to pass the DREAM Act. I applaud the Iowa

Representatives who voted to support the DREAM Act : Sen. Harkin (D), Rep. Boswell (D), Rep. Braley (D), Rep. Loebsack (D). Those who voted NO on the DREAM Act were: Sen. Grassley (R), Rep. King (R), and Rep. Latham (R). I will be vocal, will you? Take action, and demand that your elected officials vote YES on the DREAM Act. The Statue of Liberty reads, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” I believe the undocumented youth of America are the “American Dream”. Its time to realize that and give

Big 12:

Texas gives authoity to prez for new conference AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — University of Texas regents have given president Bill Powers Jr. the authority to negotiate a move out of the Big 12 to a new conference. Before the vote, Powers told the regents that the school should be able to explore options, which he says could include staying in the Big 12. Any move to a new conference would have to be submitted to the regents for final approval. Regents at Oklahoma made a similar move earlier Monday, giving President David Boren the same decision-making authority.

So he smiled, blew a kiss to the crowd, and then doffed his cap as cheers washed over him following the record 602nd save of his career. “Oh, my God, for the first time in my career, I’m on the mound alone,” Rivera said. “It was priceless. I didn’t know it could be like that.” Rivera pitched a perfect ninth inning, striking out Chris Parmelee on what appeared to be his signature cut fastball to end the New York Yankees’ 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Fans from the smallest crowd in the Stadium’s three-year history stood and shouted from Rivera’s first pitch to his last as he retired Trevor Plouffe, Michael Cuddyer and Parmelee in order and broke Trevor Hoffman’s mark. They even roared in the bottom of the eighth when Nick Swisher grounded into an inning-ending double play — and drew a loud cheer from fans who wanted to see history made at the ballpark for the second time this summer. In July, Derek Jeter got his 3,000th hit at home. “These guys are into it,” Rivera thought to himself. It’s a remarkable achievement, considering the slender righthander throws mostly one pitch. Opposing hitters have seen it for years, but still haven’t figured it out. “It’s amazing,” Cuddyer said. “You’ve got a 99 percent chance of knowing what’s coming, and he still is able to go out there and dominate.” The Associated Press

By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com With an offense that has yet to score a point in the first quarter and has scored 45 of its 68 points in regulation in the second half, the ISU defense has been relied upon heavily to keep games close as the Cyclones have squeaked by with a trio of wins that have all been decided by four or fewer points. “They’ve tackled overall pretty well,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads in a teleconference on Monday. “[They] haven’t given up a lot of big plays, and when you’re not giving up big plays and getting beat fast, you’ve got a chance to just keep your football team in the game and that’s what they’ve done.” Defensively, the Cyclones may have had their

best game so far this season on Friday night against Connecticut. They allowed their fewest yardage total on the season (343), forced three turnovers after forcing only a single turnover through the first two games, and halted a final drive by the Huskies to secure a 24-20 victory. “I think the number one thing that I’d say about them is they’ve just been sound,” Rhoads said. “I think [defensive coordinator Wally Burnham] and the coaches and the players have a good feel for what they’re capable of, they haven’t tried to do much.” The ISU defense was especially effective on third down as the Huskies converted on only five of 17 third down opportunities on Friday and only one of six in the second half.

“There were several key third down situations where our guys were just located in the right places and gave us a chance to get off the field,” Rhoads said. “We’re running better and getting off blocks better overall as a defense than we did the two previous seasons.” Although his team has trailed in the fourth quarter of all three of their wins, Rhoads has seen an unwavering confidence from the Cyclones who are 3-0 for the first time since 2005. “In three games I’ve never seen the confidence waver that we could win the football game,” Rhoads said. “I’d like to stop having to do it game after game after game, but if that’s what it takes to win, then that’s what it takes.” Iowa State, who is one of 27 3-0 teams in the na-

tion has inched closer to their first ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 poll since week four of the 2005 season when they were ranked No. 23. The Cyclones received 19 votes this week, the sixth highest in the Big 12. “We’ve got five teams in front of us that are ranked and maybe another three or four that could be closing in on getting ranked so we’ve got a big task ahead of us, and that begins with Texas next week,” Rhoads said. Following their bye week, Iowa State will host Texas in a rematch of last year’s 28-21 victory for the Cyclones, their first against the Longhorns in program history. Kick-off for the game on Saturday, Oct. 1 is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Jack Trice Stadium.

Conference could face another big realignment

Iowa State, other Big 12 teams talk change By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com The ISU administrative office and athletic department both declined comment regarding a recent ESPN.com report that Iowa State had reached out to the Big East in the case of the demise of the Big 12 conference. Steve Malchow, associate athletic director for Iowa State, told the Iowa State Daily on Monday that he could not verify the legitimacy of the report. “I think we’ve been quiet on all those various rumors that have been circulating the last several months,” Malchow said. “I think we’ll stay [in] the stance that we have.” John McCarroll, executive direc-

tor of university relations, told the Iowa State Daily on Monday that ISU President Gregory Geoffroy will not comment on any report for the time being. “The president and the athletic director [Jamie Pollard] have not offered any comment on these reports,” said McCarroll, who was quick to note he was not authorized to speak on the matter. “There’s so many reports, the situation seems to be changing daily, and they simply have not offered comment.” At the Big 12 football coaches’ teleconference on Monday morning, UT coach Mack Brown said that Texas and its administration is bent on keeping the Big 12 together. “I want us to stay in the Big 12 because it’s about our players and our players’ parents have a better chance to see them play if we’re in a region-

al conference and our high school coaches have a better chance to see them play,” Brown said. “That’s where my concerns would be, but I know Texas would love to see the Big 12 stay together.” OU coach Bob Stoops, however, did not share the same sentiments during the teleconference. “I think everybody that has been here the last couple of years was for all that as I was,” Stoops said. “But at the end of the day, as landscape changes, you have to change with it and there’s a lot to consider, which our university officials are considering.” On Monday, the Oklahoma Board of Regents granted OU President David Boren the official authority to seek a possible new home for the university.

BIG 12.p9 >>

Despite what many might have believed possible, the ISU football team is 3-0 to start the 2011 season. Even the ISD Sports Editorial picked Iowa State to start the season 2-1. But now, with the doubters forced to be silent in response to Iowa State’s best start since 2005, the Cyclones enter a bye week to refuel and retool for No. 19 Texas. The Cyclones beat the Longhorns for the first time in the program’s history last year, as we’re sure you well know. And the rest of the schedule doesn’t get any easier right away for the Cyclones, as they travel to Waco to face No. 17 Baylor the week following the Texas matchup and No. 8 Texas A&M on Oct. 22. So with the daunting schedule ahead of them, it’s hard to tell what the 3-0 start means exactly. The Cyclones are undefeated despite a ratio of 10 turnovers to five takeaways - 113th of 120 FBS teams - and 30 penalties for 256 yards, which ranks 119th of 120. Iowa State also has won all three games by a combined eight points, which is only one of three times an ISU team has done so (1960, 1978). The last three times an ISU team has started 3-0 — all under former coach Dan McCarney — the Cyclones have reached a bowl game. In the most recent season that Iowa State started 3-0, 2005, the Cyclones managed to finish 7-5 (4-4 in Big 12). They followed up the first three wins with three straight losses — two in overtime — then four straight wins. The Cyclones only faced two ranked opponents that entire season, beating both No. 8 Iowa and No. 22 Colorado, both at home. They ended that season with a loss to TCU in the Houston Bowl. Prior to that, in 2001 the Cyclones started 3-0 under new quarterback Seneca Wallace. They also finished 7-5 (4-4 Big 12) that season, but lost both matchups with ranked opponents, losing to No. 4 Nebraska — who would go on to play in the national championship game — and No. 21 Colorado. That season also featured a regular season-ending win against Iowa, which was rescheduled due to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. The Cyclones’ bowl game that season was an Independence Bowl loss to Alabama. The 2000-01 season was the most successful of the McCarney era, and was the first time since 1978 that a Cyclone team won more than six games. The Cyclones went 9-3 (5-3 Big 12) with losses to both ranked opponents they faced. In Sage Rosenfels’ final season, they lost to No. 2 Nebraska at home and No. 19 Kansas State on the road. The Cyclones also got the program’s first-ever bowl victory that year, a 37-29 win over Pittsburgh in the Insight.com Bowl. So what do those 3-0 starts tell us about the 2011 version of the Cyclone football team? For one, that the task for this year’s team to emulate the finishes of any of the three is daunting. Each of those teams faced only two opponents that were ranked at the time they played. At this point, the Cyclones are set to play five: the previously mentioned Texas, Baylor and Texas A&M, and added to that No. 7 Oklahoma State at home and No. 1 Oklahoma in Norman, Okla. For another, the quarterback play isn’t something fans or coaches can be sure about, unlike in 2000 with Rosenfels. The play of Steele Jantz — coupled with the play of the offensive line — will be the biggest factor. His turnovers are the bulk of the Cyclones’ total, and if they hope to reach a second bowl in the Paul Rhoads era, that has to change. Ultimately, starting 3-0 is a trend that reveals decent but far from guaranteed success for Iowa State.

Vollyball

New playing style presents new challenges

File Photo: Rebekka Brown/Iowa State Daily Libero Kristen Hahn bumps the ball to her teammates during the Iowa State - Arizona State game held Friday, September 2, at Hilton Coliseum. Hahn gave 22 digs to help the Cyclones defeated the Sundevils 3-1.

By Zach.Gourley @iowastatedaily.com The ISU volleyball team is coming off back-to-back road losses last week, both of which were three-set sweeps at the hands of the No. 14 Northern Iowa and No. 10 Nebraska. In the wake of the disappointing performances by the No. 16 Cyclones (9-2), one particular stat popped out at ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch as her team prepares to open Big 12 play. Between last Tuesday’s in-state showdown with the Northern Iowa and last Saturday’s match with the Cornhuskers, the Cyclones have out-blocked 26-5. “We got exposed and I think we have to find ways to increase our blocking numbers. I’ve just been really disappointed in those numbers,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We’ve watched a lot of tape, and we really feel like we’ve got to get back to some fundamental blocking.” This season, the Cyclones have switched their team blocking technique from a standard block, in which the blockers keep their arms up at all time, to what is called a “swing block.” A swing block requires a blocker to keep their arms at their sides and their shoulders facing the direction in which they are moving.

>>BIG 12.p8 granted the same authority to UT President Bill Powers shortly afterward, with one of the options to remain a part of the Big 12. Baylor coach Art Briles was also asked about the possible breakup during the teleconference but negated to speak on the matter since his opinions “doesn’t have any bearing on what’s happening.” Baylor was the other school along with Iowa State that was reported to have reached out to the Big East in the possible collapse of the Big 12. Since Malchow and McCarroll were contacted by the Daily on Monday afternoon, newly developing reports have surfaced via the Associated Press about the possible merger of the Big 12 and Big East conferences if Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech depart for the Pac-12. Those reports, however, have yet to be verified by school administration as well.

one kill to Mass, who never registered a kill in her four-year career as a Cyclone. She had the match-deciding kill against North Dakota State when her dig landed between two NDSU defenders. Hahn has also tallied two 30-dig matches. Her first was against Northern Illinois early in the season, which made her the ninth player in ISU history to record 30 digs in a game. That same week, Hahn was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week. With Hahn being able to play with Mass, she was able to learn from her throughout last season. Mass was more of the quiet leader, and while Hahn is not too vocal herself, she lets her voice be heard on the court. “She’s very quiet, so she helped me realize you can be great and not have to say much,” Hahn said. “I’ve always been loud with my height. Just watching her in practice and seeing what she did and how

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com To say that sophomore libero Kristen Hahn has some big shoes to fill would be a bit of an understatement. Last year, Iowa State lost one of its most accomplished player in school history with Ashley Mass. She shattered Iowa State and Big 12 records in digs and holds both records to this day. At this point in the season, after 11 matches, Hahn is averaging 5.65 digs per set. During Mass’s senior campaign, she had a .981 dig percentage, while Hahn is at the .944 mark so far this year. “[Hahn is] a spark plug. She’s high-energy so I think she adds that,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “That’s what you want in a libero, someone who is intense and high-energy.” Mass is the current holder for most career digs with 2,294 and is the only player to eclipse the 2,200 mark in Big 12 history. She also holds the record for most digs in a single game with 42 and most digs in a single season with 646 with a 5.01 average per set. One category that Hahn has the advantage over Mass in — attacks. Hahn has

calm she was really helped me out.” Hahn’s teammates have noticed too, that she can be a leader not only vocally, but also with how she plays on the court. “She brings fire. She’s a fireball,” said senior Carly Jenson. “We tell her not to try to do anything outside herself or try to fill into Mass’ shoes and be herself.” Hahn knows that she is vocal on the court, but she knows that actions speak louder than words alone. “As a sophomore, it’s more so I lead by my work ethic and my performance in games,” Hahn said. Johnson-Lynch mentioned that Hahn is “doing everything she needs to do to become a great libero for us,” and is pleased with how she’s doing this year. “She’s got some natural leadership ability,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She’s very vocal. That’s what you want in a libero and that’s her natural personality. We tell her ‘keep that energy up and keep going.’”

Team moves to improve blocking style in game

When the player begins their block jump, they will swing their arms up in order to square their Johnson-Lynch bodies. “We made the move because I felt like the last couple years I would almost Matlock describe our blocking as stagnant. It wasn’t as dynamic as I thought it could be,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I felt that with the athletes we have now, it would be a good move for us because we were a very good blocking team in the spring, and the swing block was really helping us.” Cyclone middle blocker Tenisha Matlock is not only new to using the swing block, she is also still adjusting to her permanent position as a middle blocker. “It’s suppose to make you jump higher and use all your momentum to get up, but I don’t know; I’m still trying to adjust to it,” Matlock said. “I’d say for us to get more blocks, we really need to go with our instincts instead of think. [Assistant coach] Trudy Vande Berg says you hurt the team when you think, because if you think about it too much you mess up everything.” The Cyclones are preparing for their Big 12 opener this Wednesday in Ames at Hilton Coliseum as they face the Missouri Tigers at 7 p.m.

Bachman says vaccine retardation claims not hers a manufacturer in Waterloo. “I relayed what she said. I wasn’t attesting to her accuracy. I wasn’t attesting to anything.” During the debate, Bachmann accused Perry, the governor of Texas, of abusing his authority by signing a 2007 executive order requiring school-age girls to be vaccinated against human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted disease that can cause cancer. After the debate, she described an encounter with a woman she says approached her. “There’s a woman who came up crying to me tonight after the debate. She said her daughter was given that vaccine,” Bachmann said on Fox News. “She told me her daughter suffered mental retarda-

By THOMAS BEAUMONT, Associated Press WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) —

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said Monday she was not arguing that a vaccine intended to prevent cervical cancer caused mental retardation when she repeated the scientifically unfounded claim last week. The Minnesota congresswoman said she was relaying what a distraught woman told her after a GOP presidential debate in Florida in which Bachmann criticized rival Rick Perry for ordering the vaccine in Texas. “All I was doing is relaying what a woman had said,” Bachmann told The Associated Press after touring

tion as a result. There are very dangerous consequences.” Perry said he erred by not seeking legislative approval but stood by the aim of preventing cancer. Campaigning in Iowa last week, he said Bachmann’s comment after the debate was unwise “when she had no scientific backing, to say the very least.” Bachmann has criticized Perry in recent weeks, in hopes of reviving her struggling presidential bid. His entry into the race in mid-August halted her ascent after she had won the Iowa Straw Poll, an important test vote. The state’s presidential caucuses begin the nominating process.

Bachmann criticized Perry’s opposition to building a fence on the U.S.-Mexican border and his support for in-state tuition benefits for children of illegal immigrants. “I do not believe that American taxpayers should be subsidizing benefits for people who are in this country illegally or for their children,” she said. Bachmann was visiting manufacturing plants in northern Iowa to emphasize the issue of jobs. She found herself answering questions from reporters about comments by her former campaign manager, Ed Rollins. Rollins said Monday that Bachmann had little capacity to compete beyond Iowa.

The advisory board will be appointed over the next six to eight weeks, Geoffroy said. “I hope to have the board appointments finished by the end of the semester.” Peterson will serve as the director until a suitable, permanent replacement has been found. The search for that replacement, however, has not started yet. “We won’t start the search until the funding is sufficient to appoint a permanent director,” Geoffroy said. Currently, the university is working to raise the necessary funds for such an endeavor. The fundraising goal, in order to reach the amount needed to support an endowment, is $10 million. The budget for the institute will come out of that endowment. Geoffroy said that the univer-

sity is hoping to have brought in $3 million by the end of the year. The level of funding needed to begin the search for a permanent director is such that it’s possible the search won’t begin until the new university president has been named. “Of course,” Geoffroy joked, “if someone donated $10 million, we’d start tomorrow.” It is still unclear where the search for a permanent director will begin, or what specific qualifications will be sought. “That will shape itself as the process goes along,” Geoffroy said. “Right now it’s premature to give too much clarity.” Geoffroy did say that whoever is considered for the position will be someone of high national and international reputation as a scholar in the public policy field.

INTERNSHIPS

FULL SKIRTED DRESSES

By Lauren Lindeman ISD Style Writer

An unexpected yet lovable fashion trend this season is the modern look of full skirts. This was noted to be a very popular trend throughout this years MercedesBenz Fashion Week in New York City. After seeing so many designers showcasing this trend, stores everywhere took off and used this classic look as an inspiration for their collections. Full skirts are a wonderful way to add a chic twist to the dresses and skirts of this coming season. This retro-inspired trend is especially popular and is especially loved by several Fashion Week designers because it is a style that looks absolutely stunning on just about any body type. Full skirts are extremely flattering to curvy figures. The fit and flare shape of a full skirted dress creates a very sexy hourglass silhouette. Full skirts also work well for a slimmer figure. The only rule for the smaller figured ladies is to make sure not to wear a dress or skirt that is too long; this will overwhelm her slim frame. The best way for a women of this shape to strut this look is to find a full skirt that hits right below the knee. Anyone can look like they stepped right off the runway with this fresh new trend that we love. This look can be found anywhere from the ready to wear line of Cynthia Rowley to stores such as Forever21 or TopShop. Keep an eye out for all the fun, full skirted dresses this season so you can channel your inner fashionista with this ever so popular trend!

intern advice Hayley Maisel, Senior Apparel Merchandising and Design Marie Claire, New York City “Always be willing to go above and beyond what is asked of you. It’s what gets you recognized and makes you stand out from the rest.”

Cassy Dittmer, Junior Apparel Merchandising and Design Diane Von Furstenburg, New York City “One of the best things about my internship is the experience and confidence it gave me in the industry. Even though I am a merchandiser, I got experience in production, PR, and design departments. Internships give you real life experiences that cannot be replaced with classroom instruction.”

Mallorie Sheldahl, Senior Apparel Merchandising and Design, Journalism and Mass Communications Nordstrom, Seattle “Take advantage of every single opportunity. Your internship experience is what you make it.”

Chelsey Twedt, Senior Apparel Merchandising and Design BCBGMaxAzria, Los Angeles “It’s all about who you know, so make connections and don’t be afraid to ask questions!”

Lisa Bradshaw, Senior Apparel Merchandising and Design JCPenney headquarters, Plano, TX “Ask lots of questions and absorb as much information as you can. Also, be confident in yourself and be aggressive in your internship hunt.”

Katie Tomlinson, Senior Communication Studies O, The Oprah Magazine, New York City “Don’t be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone by leaving Iowa for an internship. Living in NYC and working at O this past summer was an unforgettable experience.”

Arielle Willis, Senior Apparel Merchandising and Design Kohl’s Corporate Buying Office, Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin “Take charge of your life and when in class be a professional. What you do in class shapes your character in the career world. Practice good work ethic, it will be apparent in interviews that you take your work seriously and are ready to work hard! I would also say don’t be scared to ask questions!”

Network to secure that dream internship

Active pursuit pays off in career experience By Sara Schlueter ISD Style Writer

Finding an internship in today’s world is key to having a successful career. While it can be a challenge for college students to find the perfect internship, there are plenty of ways students can prepare themselves to have a successful internship. One of those ways is to actively look for an internship that is of interest to you. “Many times people will wait on internship searches and take a passive approach,” said Kim McDonough, program and internship coordinator in the journalism

and mass communication department. “To get a fulfilling experience, look for organizations that you are interested in.” Many times organizations or companies won’t post internship opportunities available, and students should contact them and ask in this situation. “Sometimes companies can create an internship opportunity if a student has expressed interest in working for them,” McDonough said. Having experience before you apply for an internship and building a portfolio is helpful in letting companies or organizations know of your experience level. Debra Gibson, clinician and Meredith Professional in Residence, illuminates: “In the magazine industry you need clips to get an internship. They are giv-

ing the most notice to students who have been involved.” Getting a foot in the door in your area of interest for a career choice can be accomplished through the success of an internship, as well as testing out the waters to see if this career is what you want to do. “Many organizations like having young professionals they can train, since they were students once,” Gibson said. “You also make professional and personal contacts at an internship that can help you throughout your career experience.” “It’s so important because it shows that you have hands on experience in the field and to show a work history,” McDonough said. “It is also an issue of professionalism, and employers will then know you have worked in an office setting.”

AESHM Week kick starts DOs & DON’Ts career hunting for students of interview attire By Ainsley Chapman ISD Style Writer

The pressure of finding and securing an internship weighs heavy on the shoulders of today’s college student, especially when the job market is at an all time competitive high. So how exactly does one stand out? Ann Thye, academic advisor for apparel merchandising and design has a few words of wisdom for those students starting the daunting internship hunt. “We [the AESHM department] work to provide all students with the tools they need to have a successful internship and career,” Thye said. “However it’s up to students to actually make it reality.” “You can’t expect it to come on a silver platter, you have to work for it if you want it.” The annual AESHM Week in the fall helps to prepare students in apparel merchandising and design, events, and hospitality management, prepare and search for internships. This year AESHM Week kicks off on Sunday, Sept. 25, with Project Runway ISU at the Memorial Union. Events are held each night of the week at various locations across campus. The events include

the AESHM Study Abroad Fair, the AESHM Internship Fair, the Career Fair, AESHM Entrepreneurs Lunch and Learn, and the Scholarship Luncheon for students who earned departmental scholarships. Each event is geared to helping students get as much help as they need to get a head start on a successful career. All apparel merchandising and design students are required to do something outside of Iowa. “Whether that is an internship, study abroad or the field study tours,” Thye said. “It’s important for students to get a full understanding of the industry.” Thye said attending AESHM Week events is the first step for students searching for an internship and aren’t sure where to begin. Thye recommends doing what she calls a “career workout” at least three times per week. “It’s just like you need to do a workout for your body, you need to spend time working out your networking skills and building your knowledge of the opportunities in your field.” For more information on events and resources offered by the apparel merchandising and design department contact Ann Thye at annthye@ iastate.edu, Chris Wise at clwise@iastate.edu or Dawn Fiihr atdmfiihr@iastate.edu.

What you wear to an interview is just as important as what is in your resume. It’s been said that 55 percent of a first-impression comes from non-verbal cues; proper appearance is vital. Create an image you will want employers to remember you by, think of it as branding yourself. Scored an interview? Here are some dos and don’ts to help you dress for success to seal the deal during the interview. DO: Wear hair back and pulled away from the face DON’T: Overdo jewelry; keep it simple with one set of earrings or a statement piece. Chandelier, hoop earrings and large beaded necklaces should NOT be worn. DO: Wear clothing that flatters your skin tone and in-season. Touches of color around the neckline help add to plain suits, jackets and skirts. DON’T: Wear sheer pieces, trendy clothing, or show significant amounts of skin. Anything that resembles a nightgown is NOT appropriate. Make sure cleavage is covered, especially during Skype interviews. DO: Don a well-fitted jacket. Make sure sleeves are proper length. Monochromatic colors like grey, navy blue, brown, taupe and camel are favorable choices. DON’T: Wear open toe heels, sandals or boots. Up to 3 inch heels are best height. Bags and shoes should match. DO: Get a manicure before the interview. Nails should be neatly manicured, medium length, and if painted, have subtle colors. Chipped polish, decals, sparkles or other decals are unprofessional. DON’T: Overdo makeup. Just mascara and lipgloss help make a professional appearance. Lots of eye shadow, bronzers or blushes are not flattering or tasteful. DO: Be confident. Whatever you wear, make sure it frames you.
