Owners of A.I. Supplements Brandon Amerine, left, and Ian Naber opened in their business in Campustown in late July. The store provides nutritional supplements to students.

Business Week finds student-run companies popping up in Ames AI Supplements offers advice in Campustown By Seth.Young @iowastatedaily.com Every year, Business Week gives students interested in management or ownership-oriented positions the chance to get advice on how to reach their goals with speeches and talks from professionals, as well as a career fair. Two business students are venturing out into the business world on their own. Opening for the first time during the summer, AI Supplements began serving the students of Iowa State. The business provides a wide range of nutritional supplements at prices tailored more to the budget of a health-minded student than

most establishments of its kind. The idea of opening such a venue started with Ian Naber, junior in kinesiology and health. Naber, prior to his time at Iowa State, worked for a similar store in Muscatine, Iowa. As the small shop’s success grew, it gradually contributed to the eventual closing of the local General Nutrition Center. Seeing a need for such a business on campus, Naber sought to seize an opportunity and fill the gap. When he approached his former employer about franchising into Ames, Naber was denied. However, he still saw potential in the plan and continued to explore it. “I knew I could get the [supplements] cheaper,” Naber said. “But the local stores were charging 20 bucks above what my old store did.” Requiring support to make progress,

Naber reached out to another student, Brandon Amerine, fellow Muscatine citizen and high school classmate. Amerine senior in management, and Naber discussed the financial aspects of the startup and what began as a consultation quickly budded into the beginnings of a business partnership. Upon finding a suitable location to open up shop, Naber and Amerine got to work on their brainchild. What followed was a summer of building renovations, extensive planning and various licensing. Naber and Amerine took a chance and found themselves with the beginnings of a business endeavor. “I saw an opportunity and went for it,” Naber said about his new position. “We used the knowledge from our two degrees and put them together.” On July 31, AI Supplements opened its doors to the people of Iowa State,

Ames and even the Des Moines area. The first business of its kind within walking distance of campus, the establishment supplies customers with a variety of nutritional supplements such as proteins, vitamins, amino acids and full body detoxifications. In addition to their extensive selection of products, AI Supplements also provides a unique opportunity to customers in the form of face-to-face support from peers knowledgeable in the field. Staff on hand can help anyone determine whether or not supplements are right for them, and if so, which one is the correct kind for them. “[We are] two students taking what we learned in class, grabbing an opportunity, and making it a reality,” Amerine said. AI Supplements can be found at 2408 Chamberlain St.

Spiral galaxy NGC 3627. Spiral galaxies are the most common type of disc galaxies.

Physics professor explores changes in disc galaxies By Natalie.Whitis @iowastatedaily.com A fundamental question about the evolution of galaxies is the focus of one ISU professor’s work. Curtis Struck, professor of physics and astronomy, teamed up with Bruce Elmegreen, researcher at IBM, to ask: “How do young disc galaxies transform from irregular, clumpy discs of gas to the smooth appearance of the older galaxies we see today?” When galaxies form, they begin as large clouds of gas that are slightly denser than their surroundings. Soon, the gas collapses under its own gravity, combining into stars, which orbit around a central point. These new galaxies have an irregular, clumpy appearance. They lack the smooth profile of older galaxies, which fade in brightness exponentially from the center to the edges. This is due to the large clouds of gas or dust, the fact that most stars in young galaxies have circular orbits

Latino students and graduates at the Marcha de las Banderas, or March of the Flags, represent their countries of origin during Latino Heritage Month on Sept. 15, 2011.

Students celebrate Latino culture By Katharina.Gruenewald @iowastatedaily.com For 30 days in September and October, students celebrate Latino Heritage Month to promote and cherish Latino cultures on campus. The word Latino is often associated with a person who is descended from people in South America, Central America or Mexico. However, to the Latino people, it can mean much more. “Latino to me is uplifting, powerful and I have so much pride and love for it,” said Brian Castro, senior in nutritional science, of Mexican ancestry and former member of the Latino Heritage Committee. “It is part of my identity.” Latino students are the largest ethnic group on campus, said Adele Lozano, adviser for the Latino

So it’s diverse.” Latino culture is not just one culture, it is a combination of the customs of all the Latino countries. “People have a misconception that Latinos are from the same place, but we all come from different countries and we all have different customs,” Velasquez said. “[Latino Heritage Month] is about sharing our cultures and getting people involved.” The four celebrations are spread out over the month and include the “Marcha de las Banderas,”

Tea Party members disapprove of GOP leadership in U.S. Congress

A recent Pew Research Center poll found 71 percent of self-identifying Tea Party members do not approve of the current GOP leadership in terms of too much compromise with the Democrats. “This poll is not a surprise, just a confirmation of what we have been observing and writing about for at least a year,” said Steffen Schmidt, university professor of political science, via email. “The ‘Tea Party’ Republicans are, as the name implies, almost a separate entity and not really Republicans. ... They would be a separate political party running its own candidates if this were Europe, Israel, India or many other countries that have multiple political parties.” Schmidt said the Tea Party is formed by former Libertarian Party members and reinforced by Christian conservatives. This group has now confronted the Republican leadership and the divided party represents paralysis in government. Schmidt said the problem now goes beyond partisan politics and threatens the economic stability of the U.S. with the debt ceiling issue. “Those [Republican] leaders in the House and Senate understand that to

As Iowa law dictates, the ruling he was later faced with called for the maximum sentence of 25 years of imprisonment and registration as a sex offender for life. Recently, Rhoades’ attorneys have disputed his conviction in the argument that he technically did not break the strict guidelines imposed by the Iowa Legislature: He did use a condom. Consenting to sex is a concern in sexually active students for both health and legal reasons alike. In Rhoades’ case, while he argued using a condom was enough

to overturn his criminal charges, the judge decided the law does not focus whether the other partner obtained the virus.

Smaller constitutional government, fiscal responsibility and free markets are the some of the core values for the Tea Party groups. Cummings said he believes all other issues fall within this basic framework. Cummings said it is not true that the Tea Party has declined since the time it started. He says the movement does not have huge rallies it used to have. Instead, it now educating people about its ideals.

The movement was mostly decentralized with various local groups. “These self-proclaimed conservatives are working with [Barack] Obama in legislation,” said Jonathon Laudner, president of ISU College Republicans at Iowa State. “They are giving too much in compromise and have thrown up the white flag.” Laudner said the rising dissatisfaction means that a lot of current Republicans would not be in leadership positions in the future. The incumbents would see more conservative candidates standing against them in the primaries. Talking about the College Republicans, Laudner said the organization has people from the far right as well as slightly right of center. “A third party won’t work at this time.

Shutdown looms as House votes on funding bill By Zoë Woods @iowastatedaily.com

The U.S. government is on the precipice of doing something it hasn’t done since 1995: shut down. Congress currently is mulling the decision to take action and prevent a shutdown on Oct. 1. The House of Representatives met Friday, to address the issue of the debt ceiling. The House voted on whether to pass a funding bill that will continue to fund the federal government. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, said he is appalled the Republican House leader “brought a bill to the floor to make a political point that has no hope of doing what we need to get done.” Braley said he wishes the events had gone differently. “We need to stop playing political games and do the work the people of Iowa sent us up there to do,” Braley said. “And that’s to solve these tough problems and provide predictability for the American people.” Steffen Schmidt, university professor of political science, agreed the House is playing political games. “I think the Republicans are playing a game of chicken and, at the last minute, will pass something,” said Schmidt. The bill was passed in the House on Friday and now is expected go to the Senate on Tuesday, Sept. 24. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said he predicts the Democrat majority in the Senate will not pass the bill. Grassley said that even though it will probably create some problems for some members, the Democrat majority does not want to defund the health care law. He said he believes they will amend that portion out and send it back to the House.

Government shutdown ■■ The federal government has shut down in the past. In 1995 the government experienced a period of three months of inactivity.

The House will be faced with a clean continuing resolution bill, which means that discretionary funding could reach approximately $988 billion, Grassley said. In order to do that, 100 percent of next year’s sequester spending cuts for nondefense programs and services and about 60 percent of the automatic defense spending cuts would have to be endorsed by Congress. “I think that we have the capabilities of finding a bipartisan agreement like we did in August 2001, and like we did after Christmas last year, and I think we will find that,” Grassley said. Braley said last Friday that the Senate is likely to “strip

Braley vacates 1st District seat as 8 candidates vie for U.S. House By Zoë Woods @iowastatedaily.com Nov. 4 of next year is a significant date for all Iowans living in the 1st Congressional District. Rep. Bruce Braley will be vacating his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, a position he has had since 2007. Braley, D-Iowa, is stepping down in order to seize the opportunity to run for a U.S. Senate seat left open by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who is retiring after 30 years of service. In the early stages of the primary for the 1st District, five Democrats and three Republicans are in the race. On the Democratic side, Dave O’Brien, Pat

Murphy, Monica Vernon, Swati Dandekar and Anesa Kajtazovic are running for the seat. On the Republican side are Rod Blum, Steve Rathje and Jason Welch. Braley said he believes it will be a good race. Being a Democrat himself, he said he has high hopes a Democrat will fill his seat. “I think there are a lot of great candidates,” Braley said. “The voters of Iowa’s 1st District, the Democratic primary voters, are going to get a chance to hear each one of them, make their case on why the can be the best representative and fill my seat when I leave.” For this article, two of the eight candidates were avail-

able for comment. Dandekar, of Marion, Iowa, said she has the desire to run for office because she wants every child to have the same kind of opportunities she had and gain a good education. “When you have excellence in education, you have excellence in [the] economy, because great education creates great jobs, and then we as a country are very, very successful,” Dandekar said. Dandekar said she has always worked tirelessly with the citizens of her district. She plans on doing the same if elected to the House, she said. “When I do all [of] the right things, I will be at the

out the provisions that attempt to defund the Affordable Care Act and pass a continuing resolution that will continue to pay for the federal government.” Braley also said he is confident the House Republican leadership will shut down the federal government unless something of a dramatic change were to happen. If the federal government were to shut down, a ripple effect would occur. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said that in the case of a government shut down, a good amount of economic activity will slowly start to erode. For Iowans, everything from Social Security to farm committees to meat factories will shut down. The people who work for the federal government will lose income. “I think that nobody wants to shut down the government, and there will be solutions and compromises found,” Grassley said.

Animal science raises $7.1 million for agriculture learning center By Delaney.Vierkandt @iowastatedaily.com Money has been in the process of being raised for the construction of a new student learning center the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Maynard Hogberg, professor of animal science, has been raising money for the learning center since 2006 along along with others. $7.1 million later, the Jeff and Deb Hansen Agriculture Student Learning center was born. The vision for this project started about 15 years ago and has been tossed around back and forth ever since. The center was funded through private donations and was sometimes hard, Hogberg said. A major contributor to the project was the fraternity, Alpha Gamma Rho. An alumnus of the fraternity, Marvin Walters, who

recently passed away, was a large benefactor for the facility. Dakota Lueken, president of the chapter, said he believes that the center is an all around state of the art facility. “The learning center can provide a lot of things for the agriculture students, especially animal science,” Lueken said. “It’s going to provide classrooms that students can get some hands-on learning, it can also just give the students another place to go and learn.” With four classrooms, a large atrium and an even larger arena, students are guaranteed a good learning experience. Currently, the center is under construction and it is expected to be finished around late November or early December. Classes in the new building will begin this spring semester.

Editorial

Francis shines new light on faith Pope Francis, who is currently head of the Catholic Church, has made history for quite a few reasons. First and foremost, he was elected last March while his predecessor was still alive. Beyond that, Francis was the first Jesuit pope, the first to have come from the Americas and the first to have come from the Southern Hemisphere. Despite all of these reasons why Pope Francis is unique, he has also become widely recognized for a series of remarks that some hope have opened the Catholic Church to change. Perhaps the best-known example of these developments is the pope’s comments regarding homosexuality. He was quoted last July as saying: “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” This is a significant development for the leader of the world’s Catholics, as the previous papal response continually rode along the lines of calling homosexuality an “intrinsic moral evil.” It should be noted these recent remarks are not a total 180-degree change on behalf of the Catholic faith. Homosexual acts are still seen as sins, but the idea of being sexually attracted to a member of the same gender is starting to be painted in a different light. Pope Francis isn’t giving the OK for the gay community. The tenets of Christianity still label homosexuality as wrong. However, he is practicing yet another aspect of Christianity: forgiveness, and the idea that only God may judge. In addition to being more open on those matters, Pope Francis has also made statements regarding the expansion of roles for women in the church, a discussion on priests’ celibacy and increased communication with the leaders of other faiths. Across the globe, this change in attitude toward social issues is seen by many as much-needed progress for one of the most prominent religious institutions in the world. What many of these supporters have in common, however, is more than a little shocking: They are not Catholic. Yes, there is considerable support for Pope Francis from Catholics; a Pew poll in early September found that in the United States, 79 percent of Catholics view him favorably. There are also those who support the comments made by the pope, even though they do not practice Catholicism. Of course with any public manifestations of that faith, such as when a group’s religious beliefs seep into

Pope Francis is widely liked by people of not only the Catholic faith but of other religions of the world. The pope has made comments on homosexuality that would never be expected from such a high-standing member of the Catholic Church.

government actions or policies which affect all citizens, there will certainly be an issue of civil rights for violated groups. It can be tempting to try to impose the dominant views of society on religious minority groups, especially when the views in question are those of tolerance, acceptance and equality. Those temptations, though, are an affront to religious freedoms. And the Catholic Church, as an individual body, has managed not to infringe on people’s rights. However, its followers or believers, as in any religion, might sometimes interpret the sacred canon to allow for open hate and intolerance. What Pope Francis has done, with his recent statements and expressions of his views, is reduced the tendency for prejudice and opened the doors to Catholicism to people from all walks of life. In Pope Francis’s hands, the Catholic Church seem to communicate what Christianity is supposedly all about: love and acceptance. Though he and his church still follow the tenets of the Bible and of their Catholic religion, Pope Francis has made the Catholic Church even more of a global leader through his accepting, open-minded system.

Tinder is an application that is taking college students by storm, though the app is met with opposition. Columnist Hailey Gross argues Tinder is not a dating app but a “hook-up” app.

Tinder ignites dating scene By Hailey.Gross @iowastatedaily.com

inder: the dating app that is sweeping across campuses across the nation. Available for both iPhone and Android, Tinder has grown exponentially from the day it launched. Unlike other dating apps or websites, Tinder relies on matches purely based on location and looks. “Matches” appear and a Tinder user flicks the strangers’ photos either right or left, depending on whether they appeal to the user in that instant. If a user whom you have “approved” of similarly approves of you, the app enables the two of you to chat and, presumably, meet up. The rate at which this application has spread shows it is immensely popular, but it hasn’t escaped derision and scorn from all parties. Some are quick to say that the way the app shows only pictures as a form of identification objectifies the women who use it. However, it does the same exact thing to men who use it, with women being similarly able to discard potential mates with a swipe of their thumb.

Yet another argument could be made that it isn’t safe to randomly meet people who you don’t know. That’s very true — but it holds for all dating sites and applications. Whether you know that a match shares your interest in 19th century Russian literature or all you know about them is the color of their hair, it isn’t safe to meet them alone. A more common criticism is that there is no possible way to get to know someone with just a name and a face. On other dating sites, you can find mutual interests and look at a computed “compatibility rating,” though whether or not that is actually accurate is another matter. On Tinder, users make a splitsecond decision on the compatibility of a stranger based solely on looks. Doesn’t sound like much of a dating app, does it? That’s because it isn’t. The purpose of Tinder is not to meet interesting, complex individuals who want to take you to dinner and slowly woo you with charm and wit. You and your Tinder match ups are unlikely to share a bottle of wine over

According to their mission statement, Chipotle “promotes food with integrity, serving the best sustainable food and using ingredients that are raised with respect for the animals, the environment and the farmers.” Recently, however, Chipotle has, in this humble farmer’s eye, lost their integrity and is sending the wrong message. As some of you know, or perhaps do not know, Chipotle is coming out with a new game for smartphones called “Scarecrow.” In this app, the main character is a Scarecrow who can no longer do his duty of scaring off birds from a cornfield. With his old job gone, he must now work in a “factory”, producing processed food made from the “farm.” The point of the game is to work against the “factory farm” to provide an “alternative to the unsustainable processed food” in which his world is run by. To go along with this game and as a message of where it stands on agriculture, Chipotle made an animated video as promotion (this video is available on Chipotle’s website). In the video, there are three features that are not only untrue and damaging to farmers, but they show the misguided ideals that the leadership of Chipotle has bought into. In the beginning of the video, it shows a modern, dark, dirty city filled with factories surrounded by a barren landscape. Nothing is green, no houses are visible, and it looks like a desert. This says the company believes farmers are harming their environment and decimating the Earth. While I admit, some farmers are better stewards of the land than others, let’s look at it this way: If a farmer makes his living by feeding people, and his land is what makes this possible, then why would he not care for it? It is his livelihood, and

without it, life as we know it wouldn’t exist. The second is a rather disturbing scene, showing two robots injecting a chicken with a syringe full of what is assumed to be growth hormone, as after the chicken is injected, it doubles in size. What they are showing, then, is illegal. It is illegal to use growth hormones on poultry in the U.S. And even if they were legal, there would be no reason to use them. According to the University of Georgia, they ”would have negative growth impacts, negative health effects and would simply not be effective.” Then why, Chipotle, is this shown in your video? The third is the Scarecrow himself. The Scarecrow is made to represent the average American Farmer. The farmer is no longer portrayed as he is now: a hardworking, honest, family loving man. He is shown as a factory worker, punching in his card, boxing up prepackaged food and destroying the very environment he loves so much. Is this how Chipotle sees farmers? Better yet, is this how the world sees farmers? I would like to think not. When it comes to keeping their word, Chipotle is beginning to lose track of honesty and integrity. Just this year, they began to serve beef products made from cattle that received antibiotics. They cited that the high costs of “organic” beef and the low availability of such livestock drove them to this decision. Farmers who raise livestock organically incur huge expenses. This is due to the high cost of raising cattle on grass, which is hard to find and not very efficient. So, Chipotle, how are you meeting your mission statement and your goals? Is your video showing “factory farms,” a barren landscape and illegal injections of chickens helping farmers? Is it so wrong that farmers wish to keep their animals alive and well through the use of antibiotics, when it’s the same purpose we use them for? I think it’s time Chipotle started helping farmers instead of hurting them.

Miley ruins tween status, but stop slut-shaming her By Zachary.Neuendorf @iowastatedaily.com

even years ago, Disney fabricated a tween generation’s role model, and now, seven years later, the face of that character has become a target of relentless criticism and slut-shaming. Of course, the character is Hannah Montana and the face belongs to Miley Cyrus, who recently has twerked her way into headlines and the mind of every media-aware being in the country. Not only is it reprehensible that more Americans could lecture on about their personal opinions on a 20-year-old pop star than serve up a few key points on the Syrian conflict — but those opinions are orbiting around a central theme of bullying and mockery. Let’s start at the beginning of this Disney pop-star turned faux hip hop-star fairy tale: Miley, at the youthful, mistakeridden age of 13, was cast as an average teen who moonlighted as a singing sensation and led a normal life starting in the morning. With a strong work ethic, respectable family values, Miley Stewart/ Hannah Montana, and consequently Miley Cyrus, filled the void of the parentapproved role model for tweens everywhere. Soon, Cyrus evoked controversy that Stewart wouldn’t even fantasize about in her naughtiest day dreams — including a snapshot of her budding sexuality spread across Vanity Fair. Almost a year later, a photograph of Miley pulling her eyes apart doing “Asian eyes” showcased Miley’s questionable racial sensitivity. As a result of these incidents, parents everywhere began loathing the way their children’s role model was growing up. All of a sudden, Cyrus switched from tween-idol to the poster child for child-gone-awry. Basically, she was being branded as light version of Lindsay

>>TINDER p4 fine food at a restaurant, discussing favorite films. You’re unlikely to learn each other’s middle names, mother’s names or, frankly, even last names. Though the company that created Tinder claims it has produced 50 marriage proposals, that’s a slim percentage of the 2 million matches that happen on average every day. The Tinder application isn’t made for those two people who are fated to be together but kept apart through day-to-day complexities and twists in destiny’s chain. Tinder is made for people looking for more temporary, more instantly gratifying relations. Tinder isn’t a dating application: It is a hook-up application. Let’s stop pretending that it is so bad users are judged by a picture alone when it is all about the physical, the instantaneous. Whether it’s a one-night stand or a series of bedroom

Lohan, yet even more terrifying because this coming-of-age transformation was frighteningly realistic for little girls everywhere. After TV show and pop-star Hannah Montana ended, Cyrus took predictable and safe stepping stones throughout her career to maintain a position in the peripheral of the public eye. Occasionally, pictures and rumors of Miley doing drugs would sprout from sleaze-sites, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this inspired a few moms to check their kids’ drawers to ensure their children weren’t growing up sipping that Lohan-lite. With a few snips and hair dye, Miley no longer danced on the outskirts of attention, but strutted to the forefront of the world’s eye with a hair cut that screamed: “I’m a rock star. I’m edgy. I’m a bad girl.” An uproar of opinions came hurling in Miley’s direction declaring her ugly and crazy, all while the daggers of slut-shame were being sharpened by the harshest mud-slingers. Amid the “We Can’t Stop” phenomenon — first, the song with lyrics about strip clubs, then the video with imagery of a happy tongue and booty-shaking via Miley, and the already-engraved-in-VMAhistory performance that spotlighted Miley’s sexually explicit writhing negativity and the scorning of Miley’s twerking and attention-hungry antics became a norm among anyone with a voice on the internet (aka everyone). When the current generation of little girls witness grown-ups and the media dehumanizing Miley in a regular, sexist manner, what says they won’t take the persistency as the OK to go treat each other in a similar fashion. The oversexualization she bleeds shouldn’t be ridiculed or embraced, for either direction could falter into the very shallow territory they are criticizing. I’m not saying the

romps, most Tinder users are looking for the same thing: sex. In our current society, it is easy to jump to the conclusion an app selling sex is bad, evil or immoral. But think for a moment — sex isn’t a rarity in college towns, and Tinder is perhaps an enabler but by no means a creator of promiscuity. In a college community where weekends are dominated by short skirts, bar crawls and dollar draws, sex is hardly an uncommon goal. All Tinder does is offer yet another avenue for individuals with that goal in mind. It is more discreet than going out to the bars with all of your skin showing, yet simultaneously more effective as your name and face get more views than they ever would at Welch Ave. Station or Thumbs. For those who argue that it is immoral or wrong for an app to promote casual sexual relations, there is a fairly simple solution: Don’t use it. If you think

subject should go ignored but suggesting it be viewed under a more critical, larger picture lens. Let’s flip the coin of controversy and focus more on the underside, the twerkless messages she doesn’t intend on sending and the buried issues that should be most relevant in culture. For example, the drug references (“dancing with Molly” and “doing a line in the bathroom”) Miley croons in the “We Can’t Stop” verses go uncensored on most radio stations. Probably the most distressful issue is put in full throttle within her video and VMA performance — her restless racial appropriation. The way the pop star uses black women as props of sexual acts — particularly that time she lodged her face into the rear of a black woman on stage. The topic of her seemingly-purposeful placement of black women around her for her own selfish attention-grab never sees

a headline because it’s easier to call Miley ugly, crazy and a slut. It is indisputable that Miley aims to ruin her young tween idol status, but slut-shaming, open-ridicule and hate aren’t a solution and only serve to confuse children. The storm of slut-shaming brewed again with the release of her “Wrecking Ball” video, which captures Miley swinging to and fro in the buff atop a — spoiler alert! — wrecking ball. Sledgehammerlicking and her melodramatic-acting also co-star, but why do we care so much? Maybe it is because the cultural chorus of criticism is as catchy as her signature pop hits, or maybe because the media has fallen too in love with escapism from real-world issues or maybe it is because we continue to accept and fuel sexism by way of rude slut-shaming. Whatever the reason, we can stop, and we should stop.

it is wrong or bad that people out there are hooking up without knowing a single thing about each other, don’t be part of it. Real dating sites, coffee shops, dance classes — there are endless opportunities for more traditional relationship creation. Chances are, if you’re the type to disdain Tinder and its users, your future spouse will be too. If you’re looking for love and romance, wooing and swooning and long

walks on the beach, it is probably best to avoid Tinder entirely. But if you’re looking for sex, entertainment or even just a bit of an ego boost, then there’s no reason not to download the application now. Just be aware that you might run into more than a few creeps. As long as you really understand the intent of the app (and the intent of those who use it) Tinder can be fun, even if it is just for a laugh.

Iowa State Daily

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Senior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe saves the ball during the Sept. 1 game against Minnesota at the Cyclone Sports Complex and helps break ISU’s shutout record with 18 in a row.

Jobe cements legacy with 18 career shutouts By Beau.Berkley @iowastatedaily.com ISU soccer coach Wendy Dillinger placed her chin on her fist and paused for a moment, trying to think of an answer. Her team had just returned from California after a weekend in which it lost a 5-1 match to Santa Clara and a 3-1 match to No. 3 Stanford. Dillinger was sifting through her thoughts for any signs of hope from the trip. The question seemed hard, yet her answer was simple. “Maddie Jobe.” Jobe, senior goalie out of Eden Prairie, Minn., has spent the last four years at the helm of the ISU defense as goalie. This season is her final go-around and she is beginning to see her four years of hard work pay dividends. With the 2-0 victory against Northern Iowa on Sept. 20, Jobe not only earned her 17th career shutout, but she also took sole possession of the record for most shutouts in a career. Two days later against Saint Louis, she upped her total to 18 after another 2-0 ISU victory. However, this feat is not the first time Jobe has etched her name into the Cyclone record books. Jobe’s 0.79 goals-against average in 2011 is the highest in the program’s history for a single season, as was her 86.7 save percentage. “She’s been steady and consistent per-

former throughout her career,” Dillinger said of Jobe. “Even when she was a freshman, to step into the Big 12 Conference is a tough challenge for a freshman, and she did a great job with it.” ‘They do everything I can’t’ The goalkeeper position has the potential to be a lonely one. Secluded from the rest of the field, the goalie seldom leaves the confines of the 18-yard box. When called upon, a goalie has tremendous power in preserving a lead or swaying the momentum of the game. When the going gets tough, sometimes, most of the fingers are pointed towards the end of the field. With all of her success, it could be said Jobe earned her accolades on her own, but that is something that will seldom, if ever, come out of her mouth. “It was pretty cool to beat it [the record], but I can’t really take all of the credit,” Jobe said. “[The defense does] everything that I can’t. Blocking shots from the 18, denying crosses from outside. It’s really helpful to have them there and blocking all of that so they don’t get through and get a quality chance off of it.” Senior Meredith Skitt has accompanied Jobe on the field for the last four years and has just as much appreciation for Jobe as Jobe has for the rest of the defense. “I have a lot of confidence in Maddie and know that if we make a mistake it will

be okay because she’s always there to make the big saves and pick up our slack when we do something wrong,” Skitt said. “It’s very reassuring to have her back there.” Watching, waiting Even with the amount of success Jobe has experienced, her career has not been without setbacks. During a 2-1 victory against UWMilwaukee last season, Jobe came off of her line to win a ball and collided with an opposing player in the process. As a result, Jobe suffered a separated shoulder and also received stitches above her right eye. Jobe had never experienced a setback of an injury like that before. However, sitting out for four games gave Jobe a different perspective. “That was the first long-term time I’ve been out, but it was definitely a learning experience watching from the sidelines, which was actually kind of nice because I could see how the defense worked from a different angle and view things from the sidelines,” Jobe said. A shoulder injury for a goalie can be devastating. Diving, reaching, throwing and punching are crucial elements in a goalie’s repertoire, but much to her team’s delight, Jobe has not lost a step. “She’s definitely stronger, and she doesn’t want to miss a second of play,” Dillinger said. “I think just knowing what it was like to sit out and watch the team

Health of QB, center remains key Coach Rhoads sees Richardson, Farniok as both ‘improved’

for those four games knowing she couldn’t help … not that that changed anything because she’s still very aggressive.” Jobe’s days as a Cyclone are winding down, but as her last first conference game nears, Jobe has found that her mental growth has surpassed her physical growth. “I’ve always kind of had the athleticism, and I think I’ve grown with actual technique and everything, but I’ve definitely grown mentally,” Jobe said. “Freshman year, you get scored on, and it’s the worst thing in the world. This year and last year, you get scored on, and you just have to move on because you only have so many more minutes to play.”

Foster sits near top in VCU Shootout By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com One week after falling to 0-2 record for the first time under ISU coach Paul Rhoads, one simple thing remains a priority for the football team — health. Two of the most important players on offense — the center and the quarterback — are the ones who welcomed this unconventional second bye week as a time for recovery. Sophomore quarterback Sam Richardson is still getting back to full strength from a right ankle injury he suffered at the end of a weekone loss to Northern Iowa. Junior center Tom Farniok, who suffered a sprained MCL against Northern Iowa is also expected to start against Tulsa on Thursday after missing practice and games for a third consecutive week. “Both remarkably improved,” Rhoads said at his weekly news conference Monday. “Tom will start. [He] practiced yesterday and reported this morning with minimal pain from yesterday’s workout. Sam will be much better than he was in the Iowa game, but he’s far from healthy. It’s a lingering type of injury that may bother him throughout the course of the season.” Richardson played the entirety of the game against the Hawkeyes on Sept. 14, but was visibly not 100 percent there in terms of health. He finished the game with only eight total carries for 12 yards. That mark is down from a healthy week one performance of 21 carries for 74 yards. Through two games, Richardson is averaging 2.9 yards per carry, which is nearly half of last year’s 5.7 average. “This is a physical sport. Quite honestly, there aren’t many guys, once you start playing games, that are playing 100-percent healthy,”

Richardson runs downfield during the Iowa State vs. UNI game on Aug. 31. The Cyclones are focusing on being able to play 100 percent for upcoming conference games including Thursday’s away game against Tulsa .

Rhoads said. “He’s certainly more noticeable because he’s touching the ball every snap, and our quarterback has to be involved in the run game. “It’ll be a decision that we’ll utilize moving forward. If that can’t be a viable part of our offense with him in there, then we’ll look to adjust.” Speaking with the media after the 27-21 loss to the Hawkeyes, senior running back Jeff Woody called the offense “handcuffed” with a lack of Richardson’s mobility. On Monday, Rhoads referenced the first

play of the game, that with a healthy quarterback, could’ve gone for a score. “Obviously after the game he was sore and everyone knew he was hobbled,” said ISU senior wide receiver Justin Coleman. “There might’ve been a few more balls in there on the read-option where he might’ve pulled through I would imagine.” “He makes a lot of people miss in the open field but I don’t know if he felt 100-percent confident in that against Iowa.”

Heading into Tuesday’s final round, the ISU men’s golf team is in a position to win its first tournament of the year. After two rounds at the VCU Shootout, the Cyclones are in second place with a score of five-under-par, a total of 567. Iowa State is two shots behind defending champion, Virginia Tech. “Overall, I saw a lot of good things out there,” said ISU coach Andrew Tank. “I’m excited for Collin [Foster] shooting the rounds that he did. I feel good about the position we’re in going into tomorrow, and I’m excited to get out there and see how it plays out.” Foster, a redshirt sophomore, sits near the top of the leaderboard after firing rounds of 69 and 72 to sit at three-under-par heading into the final day. His play Monday was good enough to put him in a tie for second place, where he stands four shots behind Virginia Tech’s Scott Vincent. “I credit the work he’s done with [assistant] coach [Peter] Laws on his short game the past few weeks, that’s really been a point of emphasis,” Tank said in regards to Foster’s improvement from last week. Iowa State’s other four starters all finished in the top 30 and only seven shots separated the team’s best and worst score. Junior Sam Daley carded rounds of 71 and 72 to finish the day at one-underpar. Daley, currently in a tie for seventh place, was in first

place after shooting a 32 for his first nine holes in round one but fell off after later recording a double-bogey, which preceded an inconsistent final 27 holes to finish the day. Junior Scott Fernandez, also held a share of the lead Monday after making a birdie on his 11th hole in round two to reach four-under-par. A triple-bogey on his fourteenth hole, however, erased his lead, and he went on to shoot a pair of even-par rounds of 72. Freshman Ruben Sondjaja also finished at evenpar after carding rounds of 70 and 74. Sondjaja shot no worse than a bogey on the day and sits in a tie for 11th place with Fernandez. Fellow freshman Nick Voke recorded rounds of 77 and 71 to finish at four-overpar and in a tie for 30th place. Voke’s score does not currently count toward team scoring as only the top four out of five individual scores are considered. Freshman Jack Carter also competed as an individual, where he stands at seven-over-par and in a tie for 43rd in his first collegiate tournament. Unlike many collegiate tournaments, the course featured a few scoreboards, so players had a sense where they stood. “Most of our guys were aware that we were playing well and that we had the lead at one point,” Tank said. “That’s a good thing, that’s the kind of experience that I want the guys to get, to see Iowa State on top of the leaderboard and be able to relish that opportunity.”

Cyclones push hitting percentages for Big 12 start Iowa State prepares for ranked teams as conference play begins By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com The end of September is near and the nonconference slate for the No. 25 ISU volleyball team has come to an end after a 3-1 victory over Iowa last Saturday in Iowa City. The Cyclones (6-4) will begin Big 12 play this Saturday against Baylor (7-8) at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones had a strong start going 4-0 to begin the season but are just 2-4 in their last six matches, and they have yet to defeat a ranked opponent. ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said they looked fatigued against Iowa despite the four-set victory and a week between their last two matches, so they will be taking a few days off this week. “I think we kept pushing last week,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We played a lot of matches, and last week, we gave them a little bit of time off Monday but not much, and so I’m not surprised.” Out of 10 matches this season only three have been at home and the Cyclones have a 0-2 record at Hilton Coliseum this year. Johnson-Lynch said “it’s great” to be opening the conference slate at home. “We’ve been on the road a lot, so I think that will help quite a bit,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We’ve only played two home matches in Hilton, so it’ll be nice to get back and get comfortable in our home gym again. And we’ve been really good at home in the past and we did not open the season well at home so we need to find that again.” The Cyclones are young this year with just two seniors, Kristen Hahn and Tenisha Matlock, and two juniors, Victoria Hurtt and Taylor Goetz. While Johnson-Lynch said the team is making strides, but she also said she hoping they would be a little further along than they are now. “One of the biggest numbers that sticks out to me is what our opponents are hitting on the season. They’re hitting for a very high percentage,” Johnson-Lynch said. “How can we do that and what can we do to affect that, what can we do to lower that number? And there’s lots of ways. There’s serving tough; it’s blocking well; it’s playing good defense; it’s transition. There’s a lot that goes into that number, but that number we’ve got to figure out a way to get lower. It’s just too high right now.”

Grace Steenhagen/Iowa State Daily

ISU volleyball players listen to advice from coach Christy Johnson-Lynch during the Iowa State vs. Iowa 3-1 victory on Saturday in Iowa City. The Cyclones are focusing on their hitting and blocking game in prepping for Big 12 Conference matches.

Johnson-Lynch said that sometimes it is hard to pinpoint why their opponents are hitting as well as they are. “I don’t have the best answer for that because we’re serving so tough so you would think that we’re putting a lot of pressure on opponents but for some reason that number continues to be too high,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think we’re just trying to find answers and figure out where do we need to improve and how will that affect our opponents hitting percentage and keep that down a little

bit.”

Baylor is eighth out of nine in the Big 12 in hit percentage so far this season, with a .210. The Cyclones rank fifth with a .241 percentage. When it comes to serving tough so far this season, sophomores Caitlin Nolan and Tory Knuth are tied for second among Big 12 players in service aces with 0.39 per set. That is just behind Texas Tech’s Breeann David who has 0.46 service aces per set.

New coach to bring professional experience, victorious strategy Jason Fairman looks to earn doctorate while assisting team By Will.Musgrove @iowastatedaily.com As a young kid in the upper peninsula of Michigan, Jason Fairman first learned how to skate on ice, which was the first step to his love for hockey. Fairman brings this love for hockey to Iowa State, as he was named Cyclone Hockey’s new assistant coach of the Division I team and cohead coach of the Division III team in the offseason. “I think he is a great asset,” said team captain senior Mark Huber. “He knows a lot about hockey and has a lengthy hockey resume.” This hockey resume starts with Fairman’s playing career. He played collegiate hockey for Cornell University and Denver University and played a season of pro hockey in Norway. After his playing career was over, Fairman coached several hockey teams, ranging from NCAA Division I to high school.

Suhaib Tawil/Iowa State Daily

Cyclone Hockey players listen to advice from coach Al Murdoch during a break at one of the seasons’ opening games.

Fairman’s most recent coaching gig, prior to one at Iowa State, was with Buffalo High School in Buffalo, Minn. Coaching at Buffalo wasn’t his full-time

job, though. He worked as a bank investment adviser for Merrill Lynch. But when Fairman saw the ad for the Cyclone Hockey coaching job, he

believed it was a chance to return to the time in his life when he was happiest. “I felt like I was just spinning my wheels at Merrill Lynch,” Fairman said. “I’ve been in finance just short of a decade. And I just thought: What do I want to do? So I looked back on my life, and I was happiest in an academic environment.” Luckily for Fairman, one of the requirements to be the new assistant coach for Cyclone Hockey was that the applicant had to be getting a graduate degree. So Fairman won’t just be coaching hockey at Iowa State, he will also be a student at the university. He will be attempting to get a doctorate degree in higher education and leadership. The impact that Fairman will have on Cyclone Hockey is still up in the air, said ISU coach Al Murdoch, who thinks it is too early to tell what effect his new assistant coach will have on the team. “He has a good resume,” Murdoch said. “But it’s too early to tell.” To Huber, though, Fairman’s impact has already been felt. “It is good to have him around,” Huber said. “He has been really stressing that everyone is on same playing field. So guys aren’t

getting away with stuff, like being late. I think he is doing what needs to get done to keep guys focused and to keep the guys working hard.” Fairman isn’t sure what affect he is having on Cyclone Hockey this early,

stating that he is just trying to share his knowledge of hockey with the program. But he is excited for the chance to do so. “I’m excited about this opportunity,” Fairman said. “It is going to lead me down a different path in life.”

The Salon, located in Downtown Ames on Main Street, has worked with student organizations, such as Trend magazine, offering their expertise on hair and makeup. The Salon also offers high-end makeup and hair products to purchase such as Smashbox or Bumble and bumble. We interviewed Alan Randall, a stylist at The Salon in Ames, to tell us about what The Salon in Ames has to offer. Q: How long has your business been open for? A: The Salon has been open for three years in the Ames area. Q: What are some popular services you offer that students will ask for? A: Really we do anything that has to do with coloring, haircuts, styling, makeup or up-dos. Our business does not offer any-

thing with nails or massages. Q: What are some benefits or discounts you offer ISU students? A: Students and ISU alumni that come into the salon with their Iowa State student ID card, will receive 20 percent off of their service. Q: What sets your business apart from the competition? A: I would say the style and the atmosphere. We have a pretty modern and high-energy atmosphere that isn’t too overwhelming for the customer. Leedz Salon, located on Lincoln Way in Campustown, offers students a convenient location for hair care services and eyelash extensions, as well as makeup services for special events.

A: We have been giving services to our customers in the Ames area since 1990.

Professionals offer advice on preventing hair damage Specialty shampoos, oils rejuvenate lifeless locks By Mariah.Wellman @iowastatedaily.com Repairing hair damage left behind by summer is more affordable and achievable with the help of special products, services and treatments offered at salons in Ames. Sunday Shampoo, known for removing residue, is by Bumble and bumble is frequently used for hair repair at The Salon in Ames. “The shampoo helps break up the chlorine that is on the hair,” said Michelle Golden, stylist at The Salon in Ames. The Salon in Ames does an in-salon service with the Bumble and bumble line they carry where a client sits under a dryer to help the treatment soak deeper in the hair; the treatment can also be purchased for at-home usage. One of the most popular summer ac-

tivities that can negatively affect hair is swimming; chlorine can create dull and lifeless hair, but Doug Ziminski, owner of Leedz Salon on Lincoln Way, says a simple Moroccan Oil Clarifying shampoo can wash chlorine out pretty quickly, without breaking the bank. Ziminski came to Iowa State in pursuit of a chemistry and pre-veterinarian degree after receiving a license of cosmetology in New York City. “One good thing about my chemistry background from Iowa State is that I have a good understanding of how the chemicals we use work,” Ziminski said. “So we keep hair in pretty good shape when we use bleach, relaxers, color with NH3 or when we’re getting out chlorine or rust. “Moroccan Oil has tetra sodium EDTA, which is a chelator for chlorine and bromine. This means it is attracted to negatively charged chlorine and binds with it, and can then be shampooed out.” Abigail Braida, sophomore in family consumer science educational studies, has taken home shampoo, conditioner and oil treatments to use on her own time.

Q: What are some popular services you offer that students will ask for? A: We do a lot of long hair conditioning Moroccan oil treatment. It is definitely trending right now. This is especially most popular amongst our foreign clients. We still do a lot of ombre — however, not as aggressive as in the past. Q: What are some benefits or discounts you offer ISU students? A: We offer a 20 percent discount for students through the university. Also, every Tuesday and Wednesday, we offer a Facebook discount to our customers. This could include a complimentary highlight or color with a regular hair cut price. Q: What sets your business apart from the competition? A: What sets us apart is our consultation services. Before we do anything we do consultations to listen to the client and see what they want, and we follow up with sharing our portfolios. The only full service salon in the Ames area, Studio 7, offers everything for a day of pampering. Besides hair care services, Studio 7 offers massages, pedicures, manicures, waxing, facials and tanning. Studio 7 works with The Fashion Show at Iowa State, as well as community fash-

“I started using Moroccan Oil because no other product made my hair as soft or as shiny,” Braida said. “I’ve even noticed a difference in length. I wouldn’t use anything else.” Leedz Salon also offers a Moroccan Oil treatment for summer hair damage. The hairdresser mixes together four tablespoons of Moroccan Oil, eight tablespoons of Moroccan Oil hydrating treatment and eight tablespoons of Moroccan Oil repair treatment, and then the stylist applies it to a client’s freshly shampooed hair. After using a brush to work from the ends of the hair to the scalp, the stylist then wraps the hair in cellophane and sets it under heat for 20 minutes before rinsing it out. To maintain hair health and to guarantee a healthy scalp throughout the year, the hairdressers recommend wetting hair and putting a small amount of conditioner in before going swimming. They also recommend using the right products and seeing a hairstylist regularly to maintain a manageable hairstyle. “Your hairstylist should recommend the best product for your hair type to bring hair back to a healthy state,” Golden said. Cost can be a big factor on whether or not one decides to splurge on a special hair treatment throughout the year; if you do decide to get a salon treatment, many are reasonably priced, some even have a

ion shows in the area and is located in Northridge Parkway on Ames. Krista Wrage, owner of the business, gave us a glimpse into the wide array of services offered at Studio 7. Q: How long has your business been open for? A: We have been open in Ames for six years. Q: What are some popular services you offer that students will ask for? A: We offer everything from hair, skin, nails, massages and tanning. During Spring Break we will get a lot of students coming in for waxing, and we also see a lot of color and cuts as well as brow waxes. Q: What are some benefits or discounts you offer ISU students? A: We offer discounts for students through campus specials, and we do 20 percent off of your first service with a coupon in the Iowa State planner. Q: What sets your business apart from the competition? A: We have great customer service and we strive to make sure that everyone is satisfied with their service. We also do a lot of education here, and we are constantly working to update our services to make them even better. We would love to gain more student clientele as well.

guarantee on the products. “We understand that money is tight for clients,” Golden said. “The difference between our products and drugstore products is that we guarantee our products and if something doesn’t work for them they can exchange it for another product that does.” The Moroccan Oil Treatment at Leedz Salon can be scheduled at any time, and can have a great impact on the damage done to hair during the summer, while still being a relatively low cost. “It’s only $20 without a blow out, or an extra $20 with a completely surface,” Ziminski said. “If you give up one coffee drink, or one less drink at the bar, you got it.”

Velasquez said she is pleased that a lot more student organizations are hosting events within the Latino Heritage Month this year. The Student Union Board has set up a Latin American Film Festival, and the student dance organization “Descarga” sets up salsa dance lessons. “Awareness is going to grow,” Lozano said. “The number of Latino undergraduates has risen quite a bit every year and there are more Latino student organizations.

BIRTHDAY | BASH

Jen Hao Wong/Iowa State Daily

In honor of the Memorial Union’s 85th birthday, the union’s staff hosted a family-friendly birthday bash from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Sun Room.

>>GALAXY p1 and to the presence of dark matter. “We wondered whether this was a general kind of scattering phenomenon, not unique to one kind of thing doing the scattering,” Struck said. “And if so, could the clumps that form in early galaxies play a role in their own destruction?” Struck and Elmegreen discovered that this was exactly the case. Large objects with high gravity affect the orbits of smaller stars. They slowly shift them into elliptical orbits at various distances from the galaxy’s center, smoothing out its appearance. Before the two focused their research on this area of galaxy formation, theories abounded about how galaxies make this transition. Most only provided explana-

tions for one type of galaxy, but Struck and Elmegreen’s data explains how this process occurs in every galaxy. Steven Kawaler, professor of physics and astronomy, said the two’s results are very significant. “It’s been a mystery for 40 something years now,” Kawaler said. “But through the numeric they saw this process unfold, going from very complex to very simple over time and that gave them the tools to understand the physics.” Struck said one of the most fascinating aspects of astrophysics is the ability to literally see back in time to the early days of the universe. Although light travels extraordinarily fast, it is no match for the vast reaches of space. When telescopes such as the Hubble focus on distant stars and galax-

Vernon, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, said she feels like she can get things done in Congress by brining what she likes to call a “three-legged stool” to the race: government service, community service and market research know-how. “I think what I have is the ability to pull people together, solve problems and get stuff done,” Vernon said.

ies, they see light that has been traveling across the universe for billions of years. This allows scientists to compare the clumpy formation of young galaxies to the smooth profiles of older ones. However, due to the time period required for a galaxy to evolve from one stage to the next, it is impossible to simply watch galaxies to see what caused the change. To solve this problem, Struck and Elmegreen used computers to model various types of galaxies. Because they were focusing on a particular process, they could

distribute to upon request.” While condom distribution alone presents a strong effort in reducing transmission of STIs, the department also offers supplementary online advisory programs in safe sex education that deter health risks on campus. Sexual Misconduct Education is a program within the prevention services department featured online to students that aims to “educate students about the elements of healthy relationships and the importance of sexual consent,” according to its website. For more information about the various programs prevention services offers to all ISU students, visit www.health.iastate.edu/prevention. Vernon said that if elected to office, she will go in with democratic values, believing strongly in civil rights and human rights, as well as access to health care, education, jobs and the economy. Finally, she plans on bringing a comprehensive immigration plan and plans regarding the environment and sustainability with her if she were to win the election.“I feel passionate about making a difference for the people of Iowa, and I just feel passionate about all of the possibilities for Iowa,” Vernon said. Braley said he has faith the voters will “elect the candidate that they think would have the best opportunity to represent ... in Congress.”

use relatively simple desktop computers. This is a common method in astronomy, because trying to observe a galaxy evolve would take billions of years. In the future, Struck and Elmegreen plan to add more detail and depth to their computer models. For now, however, the results have wide implications. “When you look at galaxies on that kind of a scale you can’t ignore the impact of things like dark matter,” Kawaler said. “Watching this pattern unfold within the broader context of dark matter’s influence on galaxy evolution is important for us to figure out the major back piece of the universe. … It’s a mystery of our galaxy that seems to have finally yielded, but at the same time it gives us extra information on the components of the universe as a whole, and how they interact.”

>>CENTER p3 A large part of reason the center is being built is for recruiting purposes Hogberg stated. “There will be also be some youth activities here, like statewide 4-H and FFA activities,” Hogberg said. “So one thing it will do is serve as a recruiting magnet to bring students to Iowa State from all over the state, as well as other states around us.” Classes in the new center will be laboratory type courses, where students will be working with animals. Students will be able to learn in the classroom, then walk over to do hands-on learning in the arena. The four classrooms have moveable walls, allowing for the transformation of two larger rooms. Hogberg stated that the arena can be used for many different purposes, such as banquets and shows, but it will mainly be used for the study of animals. “The primary benefit is so students have a student and ani-

mal interactionary here,” Hogberg said. “So if you’re looking on working how to work safely and humanely around animals, that can be taught here.” Another benefit will be being able to work with animals during the winter months, when there would normally be snow and ice on the ground. Branden Zuck, senior in animal science and president of Block and Bridle, feels that the center will be very beneficial for students. “The Learning Center will host many events for the Department of Animal Science, as well as the Block and Bridle Club,” said Zuck. “As the departmental club, the Block and Bridle Club provides students with hands-on opportunities to learn about the livestock industry. Additionally, the classroom space will be utilized by animal science classes, as well as other classes within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.” The agriculture center will be located north of the Iowa State ice oink, on the south side of Mortenson Road.
