ISU engineering students flock out of Hoover Hall after class. U.S. News & World Report’s placing put the engineering program 35th overall when compared to all national universities.

Engineering ranked 20th among public universities By Katie.Grunewald @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s College of Engineering has been ranked 20th among public universities. U.S. News & World Report’s 2013 “America’s Best Colleges” ranking have been announced, and the College of Engineering moved up from 22nd to 20th among other public universities who offer a doctorate degree in the highest level. “There are a ton of rankings published, and there are two different rankings that we really pay attention to,” said Ann Wilson, director of engineering college relations. “The undergraduate rankings that come out in September, and the graduate rankings that come out in March.” When compared to all of the national universities, U.S. News ranks Iowa State’s undergraduate engineering program 35th overall — an eight-way tie — an improvement from 39th last year. Wilson explained the process of getting these rankings together and published consists of other deans and college leaders voting.

U.S. News takes all of the numbers and rankings and puts them together to establish the rankings “Some people will say these rankings don’t really matter, and some people say it’s great,” Wilson said. “Look at our numbers this year. We hit a record. Anytime there is a ranking, you obviously want to be ranked high.” In biological and agricultural engineering, Iowa State is ranked fourth among all national universities and fourth among public universities. In materials engineering, Iowa State is ranked ninth among public universities and 15th among all national universities. Gary Mirka, associate dean of undergraduate and graduate educations for the used when recruiting prospective students. “We will boast that we have a high quality undergraduate program that is just not from the state of Iowa, but a regional school that also has a high international student population,” Mirka said. “When we have a publication like U.S. News that’s able to publicize to the world the quality of our college to the

world, its an important recruiting tool.” Wilson agreed, but thinks there are several other tools the college can use when it comes to recruiting new students. “We do a lot of recruiting, and we have this information on our college website, we put that up right away,” Wilson said. “Sometimes, we quote these ranking in our recruitment materials. It’s always something that we’re proud of, but it’s not something that we rely on to promote our college.” When asked what the other deans and other college leaders saw in Iowa State’s engineering program, Wilson described what the college itself was most proud. “We’re really proud of our international reputation, the academics that we offer our students and the 95 percent career placement rate that we have when students when they graduate,” Wilson said. The College of Engineering is not the only ISU college ranked by U.S. News, and the university as a whole has been ranked in the top 50. “This is a really nice recog-

All of these are terms familiar to people who have read the Harry Potter books, which first appeared in the late ‘90s and became a seven book series that has in many ways influenced the generation of students at Iowa State. “Not everybody has read them. Not everybody cares to read them. But, it is surprising what a kind of common denominator the books are,” said Susan Yager, associate professor of English. Yager teaches an Honors seminar on Harry Potter that in the past has been filled in under a minute when registration opens. The series has been challenged several times from many different places, in-

cluding even a challenge in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. According to the American Library Association website, the series ranked in the top-10 challenged book lists in 2001, 2002 and 2003. “Most of the challenges to the Harry Potter series were made when the first several books came out,” Yager said. “Some of those challenges were from people who were culturally, usually religiously, conservative who have a literal reading of some Old Testament passages.” The Harry Potter movies first started coming out in 2001, when most traditional age college students were in elementary school. A total of eight movies were made. “I wanted to learn how to read, so I could learn to read Harry

Chris Biagini, intern for MAMF By Maggie.McGinity @iowastatedaily.com Chris Biagini, senior in journalism and mass communication, will help run the Maximum Ames Music Festival as an intern for Maximum Ames Records. The 130-band, 20-venue celebration of music happening this Thursday through Sunday. Biagini will graduate in December and is interning at Maximum Ames for his required journalism-based internship. How did you get your internship with Maximum Ames Records? I feel like a big part of it for me this time was just being persistent. I know sometimes students are worried about contacting somebody too much. Just being persistent and then like loving music and being passionate about it and about what they do just helped out a ton. That’s what they do, they’re hugely creative guys. What do you do at Maximum Ames? So far, I’ve had to do all kinds of different stuff. We have the festival starting in a few days, so a lot of it has been geared towards that. But things are going to be changing a little bit postfestival. Stuff that I have done and will continue to do is social media things and when people buy stuff off our site, get it out. If people buy stuff in Ames, we actually hand-deliver it. I co-wrote our newsletter, and I’ve done a couple of blog posts and news releases and stuff. A lot of it has also just been street team kind of stuff, going around with posters and handbills

President Barack Obama’s biggest piece of legislation has been the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. This bill was put into place as an attempt to reform the health care system. Many students are already seeing what Obamacare can do. For example, students are now allowed to stay on their parent’s or guardian’s plan until the age of 26. “This is hugely important, especially in this economy, where they may not immediately get a job with health insurance,” said Steffen Schmidt, university professor of political science at Iowa State. This bill prevents health insurance companies from denying coverage to someone with a pre-existing condition. It also requires coverage for pre-

ventive care, like cancer screenings and women’s contraceptives. No longer will insurance companies be able to drop customers without a right to appeal. According to a survey from 2012 by the American College Health Association and National College Health Assessment, and conducted by Thielen Student Health Center’s Prevention Services Department, 93 percent of students already have heath insurance. Starting Jan. 1, every U.S. citizen will be required to have health insurance. If citizens choose not to, starting on March 1 they will be taxed. The tax starts at one percent of taxable income the first year and gradually increases. Since most students already have health insurance, this new mandate will have no effect on them. Students without health insurance will have a number of options.

Beginning Oct. 1 the marketplace, also known as the exchange program for insurance companies, will begin. The marketplace is designed for small businesses, customers without employee insurance or new customers to compare and contrast healthcare plans that fit their needs. The marketplace will be a collection of insurance plans run by insurance companies.The federal government is simply subsidizing health care coverage, so it is more affordable for all citizens. “There will be a bronze, silver, gold and platinum Health Insurance Plans,” Schmidt said. “Each with their own set of deductibles and copays, under the marketplace model.” Platinum would give the most coverage, bronze the least. Many low to middle class citizens will qualify for subsidies on their health insurance, lowering the cost of their health care.

Faculty read from banned books By Bernice.Liborio @iowastatedaily.com “Harry Potter,” “Catcher in the Rye,” “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” were just a few of the books read aloud outside of Parks Library as part of Banned Book Week. “I think it’s important to highlight this, because really only a small number of books that are challenged come to public notice,” said Tobie Matava, librarian of human science and humanities at Parks Library. “There’s a lot more books that are removed from library shelves with little being said.” This is the 31st year that Banned Books Week is being celebrated by libraries and schools across the country, Matava said. “It’s important that everybody have the right to chose what they want to read,” Matava said. “Other people don’t chose for you what you’re able to read.” A select number of university leaders, staff and free-speech advocates from Ames read aloud to the public, just outside of Parks Library Wednesday afternoon. The members chosen were to select a banned

book that has been challenged in Iowa libraries due to it containing or mentioning topics such as sex, homosexuality, swear words, suicide or drug use. Each reader had limited time to read an excerpt from the book they had chosen. “I think the public should be exposed to these books,” said Pamela Anthony, dean of students. Anthony read from the book “Go Tell It on the Mountain” by James Baldwin, published in 1953. This book talks about a negro family and their experiences with church, Anthony said. “I grew up in church, and my parents raised me in church,” Anthony said. “So there’s some fundamental things in the book I appreciated.” The excerpt she read was based on a regular sunday morning service. The main character is proud for being a christian but at the same time he is nervous about being a christian, Anthony said. The book was banned due to its violence and sexuality in the church. Anthony said people in church do not want to talk about the context of the story, because there’s peo-

ple who have a perspective of what church is and is not. Banned books do not affect the library business, because people across the country are still reading books, Matava said. Banned books have more of an effect in K-12 libraries, due to their school districts decisions on curriculum.

As a university, Iowa State does not have any complaints on book content, and everything the library contains is available to all students on campus, Matava said. “You decide what is too much for you,” Matava said. “You limit your reading or television watching based on what is acceptable to you.”

Staff contributes to Iowa State’s title of research institution By Mackensie.Moore @iowastatedaily.com ISU professors do more than just lecture their class, they are also researchers. As a research institution, Iowa State looks for professors that are devoted to a specific line of research. When Elizabeth Stegemoller, assistant professor of kinesiology, was hired, that is exactly what they got. After being hired in August, Stegemoller is already working on three different research studies. Her interests lie in how music therapy can help patients with Parkinson’s disease. “One of my roles as department chair is to help recruit people,” said Philip Martin, professor and department chairman of kinesiology. “People who have the potential to be good teachers, good research scholars and good citizens to the department and the university.” One of the first steps professors must take to begin research is to fill out an application to be approved by the Institutional Review Board. Before the board sees the application, the department chairman must sign off on the application, checking to make sure all documentation is there. This is done in order to reduce the possibility of protocol getting delayed in the review process. After getting the approval of the department chairman, the application is sent to the Institutional Review Board. This organization is made up of not just faculty members, but also community members who help determine if research ethics are being met. Essentially the board is in place to protect participants. They determine if the risks are reasonable compared to the benefits and to make sure that the research is addressing a valuable question for the research community. “It’s a sophisticated organization in order to cover the various types of research that go on on campus,” Martin said. Stegemoller currently has two studies waiting for

approval from the board. While this process can be timeconsuming, there are other parts of the research process to be concerned with. During this time, professors are simultaneously researching forms of funding for their projects. Funding can come from the federal government, the university or private corporations. While Stegemoller’s third study is currently waiting on funding, her previous post-doctoral work has helped her understand the process and where to look for funding. Iowa State has a start-up support system that is offered to new professors.This is used to make sure that they have the funds they need and to help jumpstart the professor’s research.

As Stegemoller is in the final steps of her waiting process, she is waiting for the day when she can begin collecting data. “It’s really exciting to be here, to be able to finally have the opportunity to do what I’ve always wanted to do,” Stegemoller said. “I get to do what I want to do and see what I can find, I want to start right now.”

Professor takes over genetics chair in agronomy By Caitlin.Deaver @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa Corn Promotion Board Endowed Chair in Genetics, a new endowed faculty position in genetics in Iowa State’s agronomy department, will be Patrick Schnable. Schnable is an agronomy professor, director of ISU’s Center for Plant Genomics and a Charles F. Curtiss Distinguished Professor in Agriculture and Life Sciences. “This is really a recognition of the entire research team,” Schnable said. “But I’m very thrilled. It’s a real honor and also opens up some new opportunities for me.” The position was publicly announced during a luncheon on Monday, Sept. 23, in the Scheman Building. Faculty from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, members of the Iowa Corn Promotion Board and Schnable’s graduate student researchers attended the event. The promotion board invested a total of $2 million in the faculty position and its research. “We want to ensure this research continues to truly unlock the potential of the corn plant and share this knowledge with corn farmers in Iowa, in the United States and worldwide,” said Bob Bowman, president of the board. $1.5 million directly funded the endowed chair position. The other $500,000 was invested in the research involved with understanding the functioning of corn genes, and that

understanding will then be applied to improvements in corn production. “This investment is important to Iowa corn farmers because demand for corn will continue to grow,” Bowman said. “This research is critical to produce the necessary supply of corn to meet this growing demand for food and fuel.” Research on the corn genome will also improve sustainability efforts in growing the crop. Farmers’ environmental footprints will be smaller due to less pesticide use and increased efficiency of crop nutrients. “I’m a firm believer that research pays off in the long term,” Schnable said. “What we’ve discovered, my friends in the economics field tell me, is that when society invests in research, it pays off in the long term in a significant way.” In order to survive weather, pests and disease, the crop must be as durable as possible. “We need to be able to breed crops that will be more resilient,” Schnable said. “We are researching ways to advise corn breeders how to build that resilient crop.” In 1995, the board began discussing how to sequence the corn genome. The first result of the corn genome sequence was published in 2009 as an effort between Schnable, Iowa State, the promotion board and various other organizations. “Here at Iowa State University, we’re very proud of our relationship with Iowa Corn, especially for the vision we share in the future of research that seeks to delve

of permanence,” Wintersteen said. “By having an endorsement, you know the funds are being invested to continue growing the size of the endowment. There is a focus on continuing to keep the endowment at a financial level that will be meaningful in the future.” This permanence will give Schnable and his team of graduate students the resources needed for future research on the corn genome. “I think this is a wonderful example of the vision behind the landgrant university system, where individual growers band together for the betterment of themselves and society as a whole,” Schnable said.

deeper into the genetic code of corn,” said Wendy Wintersteen, dean of the College of Agriculture. “We do this for the benefit of Iowa corn growers.” Schnable was the leading author in the genome’s first publication. “This is an investment in the future of Iowa corn, there’s no doubt about it,” said Kendall Lamkey, chairman of the agronomy department. “[Schnable] is a visionary leader in the application of corn genomics and corn improvement.” The endowed chair position also presents itself as an investment in science and moving forward. “Endowed chairs bring about a sense

Editorial

Consent with ‘yes’ has power Iowan Nick Rhoades was arrested and charged for exposing a sexual partner to the HIV which he carried. In a recent trial dispute, Rhoades’ lawyers claim that having used a condom to ensure that his HIV did not spread, Rhoades is not at fault. If they had won, Rhoades would have escaped the maximum 25-year jail sentence and life-long label as a sex offender. However, the judge of the trial ruled that the crime was not in actually exposing HIV to his partner, but in failing to inform him that he carried the potentially deadly virus. This ruling reinforces Iowa legislation that insists upon individuals being told of their partners’ HIV or AIDS. The decision, following predetermined law, was not groundbreaking in any way. What’s interesting about this case is that Rhoades tried to argue against his charges in this manner. His (or his lawyers’) mistake was that he is not being punished for spreading the virus but for lack of informed consent. Rhoades’ use of protection might have been a well-intended attempt to keep his partner from contracting the HIV he carried, but it just wasn’t enough. Without the consent of a partner who had full knowledge of his condition, Rhoades was still committing a crime. Consent is the buzzword of the decade — posters, public campaigns, publications and organizations all push for consent in sexual relations — and for good reason. Nonconsensual sex, even if the partner doesn’t explicitly say “no,” is rape. But that question (do you want to have sex or not?) doesn’t fully define consent. Informed consent is knowing the full potential consequences of having sex with a certain individual. You might consent to having sex with an attractive stranger, but if he reveals after the fact that he has more STDs than he can count on one hand, you might feel some regrets. The “yes” of consent may seem like an absolute answer, but it depends on context. Providing context, whether it be personal details, criminal history or STD admission, is important in ensuring that the consent you get from a partner is truly meant. For an individual with HIV, AIDS, herpes or any other sexually transmitted disease, sex with a stranger is just that temporary excitement, the physical satisfaction of the act. But for the uninformed partner who might have just contracted an STD ranging from mildly irritating to fatal, that moment is a little more significant. Those who have an STD may have been dealt an unfair hand, and it can seem easy to ignore the ways that they can hurt other people. But having experienced the pain or isolation that HIV, herpes or any other disease brings should be enough to deter someone from spreading their condition to another. Telling a potential partner about your imperfections might decrease the chance of you actually getting into bed with them. Regardless of how unfair that may seem, 30 minutes of sexual enjoyment isn’t worth a lifetime of regret. If Rhoades did make one good decision, it was his use of a condom — an equally necessary step once all STD details have been disclosed. After you’ve divulged all pertinent medical history, have gotten the necessary consent from your partner and have undergone some form of protection to deter the spread of STDs, then and only then should you (insert sex euphemism here).

Fraternities and sororities have specific requirements that students have to meet to live there. Fraternities and sororities are specifically exempt from state regulations that govern rental agreements by the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Law (of Iowa Code).

City does not need to inspect housing in greek community L

ast week, the Ames City Council had a discussion over how fraternities and sororities are not listed as being exempt from the Rental Housing Code (Ames City Code Chapter 13). Because these chapter houses have not previously been kept to such standards, meeting the specifications of this code now would require their organizations to invest substantial resources. In response, members of the greek community filled City Hall to capacity on Sept. 17 to communicate that they support an exemption of the code for fraternities and sororities. For the sake of full disclosure, I will mention that I was at that City Council meeting representing my fraternity with several of my brothers. I attended the meeting because as the president of our chapter, I am very keenly aware of the tremendous effort that would be necessary to follow these regulations. So why would the Ames City Council consider fraternities and sororities separately from other types of rental properties in Ames? What is the difference between a fraternity or sorority and other rental properties? The most obvious disparity is that greek houses are not made available to the general public for occupancy, because only persons affiliated with their organization are allowed as tenants. These organizations are allowed to discriminate to the point that the overwhelming majority of the city’s residents are not allowed to live in their facilities. In 2010, the Ames population was 58,965; the average membership of chapters with houses was 65. For each chapter, essentially 99.9 percent of Ames residents will never be able to consider their house as a possible place to live. The people who compose the remaining 0.1 percent must already be

By Alexander.Maxwell @iowastatedaily.com members. The process of becoming a tenant requires them to bound themselves to the laws and authority of the organization that oversees the operation of the chapter. They must also have agreed to follow the rules set forth by the Office of Greek Affairs and their chapter’s respective governing council. It is obvious that these houses are not public rental properties. It does make sense at first to apply a Rental Housing Code to a facility that issues rental agreements, but the fact that a facility enters into rental contracts should not be the determining factor in deciding that a facility should be required to meet that Code. In fact, fraternities and sororities are specifically exempt from the state regulations that govern rental agreements, the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Law (Iowa Code 562A). Their exemption from rental regulations demonstrates that even though rental agreements are issued, the state government does not consider these facilities to operate in the same way as those that are for rent to the general public. Even if chapters do not need to meet the housing code, there are many other regulations that these fraternities and sororities must continue to meet. Each is governed by its respective international or national organization, which includes risk assessment evaluations on at least an annual basis, including inspections of its chapter facilities. They are also required to meet their hosting organization’s insurance specifications and are inspected regularly to determine compliance with safety

standards set by the agency. As stated by members of the City Council themselves, the ISU Office of Greek Affairs also requires each chapter to meet standards to remain open. Because they are residential buildings, fraternity and sorority facilities are already governed under the residential building provisions of the City of Ames Municipal Code Chapter 5 — Building, Electrical, Mechanical and Plumbing Code. This code is what the city of Ames uses to make sure buildings in Ames are safe for its residents. Many rental facilities have landlords who are responsible for the conditions of the housing they provide. Respectively, members of each greek chapter are designated by the corporation or organization that owns their facility to constantly ensure it remains in acceptable condition and respond promptly to any issues the residents may have with the facility. Clearly, fraternities and sororities have many systems in place separate from the housing code. There is not any genuine need for Ames to place these organizations’ facilities under the same regulations as other rental properties, because they are fundamentally different and are already being held to high standards by multiple authorities. Fraternities and sororities at Iowa State have a general history of operating successfully, in many cases for more than 100 years. The same is true in many areas of the country, which the City Council used to gain perspective. They conducted a survey of 13 other college communities and found that only two performed these types of inspections, neither of which were located in Iowa. Here at Iowa State, it is apparent that we, too, do not have any reason to conduct them.

Learn steps to stay safe on campus, protect self against sexual assault

fter your Wednesday night chemistry exam, you are walking home alone. It is dark and cold and beginning to rain. You are in a rush to get back to your warm residence hall room when you hear footsteps quickly approaching. You take longer strides and pull your roommate’s number up on speed dial. Just as the dark figure throws his arms around you. You see it is your best friend Dave coming from the same test. What a relief… Although Iowa State might feel like a home where you are always surrounded by your best friends, it is not always so safe. In fact, 80 percent of sexual assaults are committed by acquaintances of the victims. As a woman, there have been nights where I have felt uneasy walking home alone in the dark. During my

By Katie.Titus @iowastatedaily.com freshman year, I was in an unfamiliar place, and I did not trust anyone. Over my years of attending Iowa State, I have found ways to protect myself from on campus predators. According to Sarah Lawrence College’s Statistics on Sexual Assault, one in four women are sexually assaulted on college campuses every year. Although this is a shocking statistic, women have many ways to help protect themselves from sexual assault. The buddy system works. After going out on a Friday or Saturday night, walk home with a friend. Statistics on Sexual Assault states 50 percent of sexual assaults happen after the consumption of alcohol and

74 percent of assaulters have consumed alcohol before sexually assaulting someone. Going home from a party with a group of friends or taking the Help Van can deter predators. The best way to defend yourself from sexual assault, however, is to try your best to stay out of harm’s way. When I am in a situation where I absolutely have to walk home alone in the dark, I talk on my cellphone with my dad so that if something goes awry, he is the first person to know. Though these are good things to do in an emergency, pre-emptive preparation is always a safer bet. Iowa State offers many helpful courses such as Yong Chin Pak’s self-defense class. Kickboxing, judo and taekwondo classes can be taken at State Gym. Additionally, when I have to walk alone at night, I will sometimes put

my keys between each of my fingers so I know that if I have to throw a punch that it will make an impact. For men, there is sometimes a gray area determining whether or not a women is consenting. The simple rule of “only if she says yes” could save many men from being charged with sexual assault or harassment when that is not what they were meaning to do at all. Since 2006, there have been 267 sexual assaults on women reported to the Sexual Assault Response Team, and there have been eight assaults on men. Though the number of reported assaults might be surprising, many sexual assaults go unreported every year. Many women and men feel that sexual assault is something that is taken lightly

Use proper grammar to display intelligence in daily conversations By Hailey.Gross @iowastatedaily.com

our, you’re. To, two, too. There, their, they’re. These word variations, and so many others, were drilled into our heads over and over from age 6 to 16. Elementary school taught us these spelling and grammar lessons initially, but when they failed to stick, we were corrected again and again by teachers in our later years. Red marks on papers and tests denoted our grammar deficiency. However, whether it was in elementary, junior high or high school, most of us eventually got the hang of it. Unfortunately, what we did not learn is why grammar and spelling are important. As far as we were concerned, the only use for grammar was to pass English in seventh grade. As soon as we left the classroom, we reverted to our old ways — shortening words, making contractions out of uncontract-able words and ignoring punctuation completely. It is easy to think that grammar does not matter, that everyone makes mistakes, and it is not going to affect you if you conjugate your verbs incorrectly every once in a while. And for the most part, it is true — most people will not even recognize the mistakes you might make in everyday speech. However, some people will. Those few people could be individuals who have

enormous impact on your future. For example: You are on a date with someone whom you have never met. Things are going well; your date is stunningly attractive and seems genuinely interested in what you have to say. The conversation moves to movies and the blockbuster that came out last week. Your date asks you if you would like to go, and in response you say: “I already seen it.” Suddenly your date becomes distant and fidgety. When the dinner comes to an end, he or she does not mention a second date or seem interested in sharing a cab. To some, being thrown off of a love interest by a simple grammar slip might seem ridiculous, but it is not all that rare. What might seem like an innocent mistake to you might be a glaring beacon of your lack of intelligence to someone else. Maybe it is a quick judgment, but sometimes that is all we have. Here’s another scenario: You are at a job interview. Whether from strength of your resume or desperation on the company’s end, you’ve made it this far. You are becoming comfortable with the interviewer, settling into the rhythm of question and answer. You give your potential employer a few work samples, which he scans. One small mistake, one misspelled word in your sample, and it might be the end for you. In that moment, the employer may decide that because you do not know the proper spelling of the word “definitely,” there is someone else out there who’s a better fit for the job. Such an assessment is necessary when decisions must be quick.

Illustration: Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily

Correct grammar should be used no matter what someone is writing. Developing this habit is a good way to show intelligence and potential to classmates and future employers.

Whether it’s the love of your life or the career that carries you to wealth and fame, these opportunities can be missed through what seems like an innocent mistake. Granted, there is no reason why you can’t drop casual speech and terminology in a conversation among friends. The important thing is to know when grammar, spelling and punctuation matter: in first-impression situations. We are creatures of quick thinking and as such, generate conclusions based on our first set

of facts, whether we like it or not. Do not give an employer, a potential lover or even a stranger on the street a reason to think you are less intelligent than you are; nothing will hurt your perceived intellect as much as a grammar slip. Bad grammar might be a hard habit to break, but it matters. The little differences it will make and the people who will think just a little better of you can really add up in the end.

>>ASSAULT p4 and does not need to be reported. As long as predators go unreported, they could be doing the same thing to someone else. It is important that victims communicate their encounters. Men are also vulnerable to sexual assault. Sexual assault does not only happen on the party scene. Sexual assault in the workplace is something of which people of both genders should be aware. Though it would seem that professionalism would reign in the workplace, that isn’t always true. At the office, sexual assault can be something as apparently small as an unwanted sexual comment or light touch on the shoulder. If you are sexually assaulted, it is very important that it is reported. Medical examinations and follow up

appointments are free whether you choose to report the events or not. The Sexual Assault Response Team right here at Iowa State is ready to help. If a friend comes to you about having been sexually assaulted, it is important to listen and help them take the right steps to getting help. Both women and men should know what sexual assault is and how to defend themselves from attackers. As freshmen, we all watch the “Unless There’s Consent” video but actually applying that video to everyday life to steer clear of sexual assault is something we should all consider. Do everything you can to keep out of potentially dangerous situations. Iowa State is our home, but it is not always 100-percent safe, which necessitates that we be cautious and prepared for on-campus assault.

Free safety Jacques Washington celebrates during the season opener against Tulsa in 2012. Washington has been trading tickets to ensure that his relatives will be at the game on Thursday.

Cyclones hit the road in search of 1st win By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Jacques Washington knows how to make a deal. When Iowa State plays Tulsa on Thursday in the Cyclones’ first road game this season, Washington will have plenty of tickets for his friends and family to attend. “Iowa tickets are very valuable,” Washington said with a smile. “You can get one Iowa ticket for about four road games. Those are very valuable.” Washington has been busy trading his player ticket allotment with teammates in recent weeks, including ones from the Cy-Hawk game, to assure that about 30 or so guests will be in attendance in Tulsa, a mere 10 minutes from where he played high school football in Owasso, Okla. The Cyclones (0-2) have a rare battle in front of them. Thursday’s game against the Golden Hurricane (1-2) will mark the third matchup between the two teams in

13 months. Iowa State won it at Jack Trice Stadium last September, but Tulsa outdid the Cyclones at the Liberty Bowl in December. “It’s the first time in my career that I’ve played somebody this often,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “I think there’s good in that and I think there’s bad in that. You can chase tendencies too strong; you can chase ghosts a little bit too strong.” While some of Tulsa’s roster has seen turnover, two familiar faces remain on its offense. Golden Hurricane quarterback Cody Green is 2-1 all-time against the Cyclones, which includes his time with Nebraska before he transferred. Meanwhile, running back Trey Watts, who also lines up at receiver, possess a threat for the ISU defense with 2,406 rushing and 913 career receiving yards. The ISU offense, with quarterback Sam Richardson’s ankle still improving, expects the same blitzes it saw last season even while the Tulsa defense looks differ-

ent from what Iowa State saw in the bowl game. “We’ve got a grasp of what they want to do on defense just because we’ve played them so much,” Richardson said. “We’re going to get a lot of the same looks we’ve been getting. It’s new guys, new personnel, but kind of the same look we’re going to get.” Through the first four weeks of the college football season Iowa State has seen the field just twice. Thursday’s game will put the team’s second bye to rest and begin a stretch of 10 consecutive weeks with games for the Cyclones. With just two games under its belt and no wins to show, Rhoads’ team might be getting antsy. “A lot of teams have played four games. We played our first game on Aug. 31, and it’s Sept. 22 and we’re still preparing for our third game,” Rhoads said earlier in the week. “Yeah, I’d say there’s a lot of antsy-ness about that.” There is plenty of motivation for

the Cyclones after the bowl loss, but for Washington, family is important, too. Washington said his father, who is a manager at an airplane company in Oklahoma, has heard plenty from Tulsa fans since Iowa State’s bowl loss. Aside from everything else, Washington sees that as good motivation. “I’ve got to get bragging rights for the family,” Washington said.

Nonconference play prepares women for Big 12 By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com When the ISU soccer team packed up to travel to California for matchups against now-No. 20 Santa Clara and No. 2 Stanford, the team was 4-2 coming off a 4-0 win against North Dakota. When the Cyclones returned to Ames from that trip, they were 4-4 and lost by a combined score of 8-2. Yet ISU coach Wendy Dillinger’s smile was a little bigger and she was even more positive when speaking following the losses. Two games later, the Cyclones were 6-4 with two shutout wins. Suddenly, the eyesore on the schedule appeared to be a blessing in disguise heading into Big 12 play. “Our trip to California definitely helped prepare us,” Dillinger said. “I think it showed some things that we needed to work on. ... That was kind of the point of going out there, was to see where we are and see what we needed to do heading into conference play.” Last season, the Cyclones headed into their Big 12 schedule with a 7-3 record, losing to two ranked teams and in-state rival Iowa. This season, Iowa State has lost to two ranked teams, Iowa and top-20 RPI Minnesota.

Coincidentally, last season’s squad was on a two-game win streak heading into a home conference game against a Texas team. The result was a 4-0 loss to Texas, but Dillinger is looking for no repeat of last season. “I’m confident,” Dillinger said. “We have quite a few seniors on the field and our youngsters have gotten good experience thus far.” Senior defender Jessica Reyes is one of those senior leaders that has seen the young team grow. As the only senior on the back line, Reyes often plays alongside a constantly rotating line of freshmen and underclassmen. With four shutouts recorded this season and three assists and a goal in the stat book for the back line, she believes the rotation is working. “We have a really large and talented freshman class,” Reyes said. “There is a lot of speed. There are a lot more options to put on the field, so we know no matter who comes off the bench, we are going to have a solid team.” Freshmen Kourtney Camy and Madison Ott have played significant minutes defensively this season. Ott, standing at 5

feet 6 inches, recorded an assist earlier this season and has played in eight games so far. Camy, on the other hand, is all of 5 feet 10 inches and has played in nine games this season with eight starts. Aside from being a long-legged defender, Camy launched a shot over the goalkeeper’s head against

Northern Iowa that sealed Iowa State’s win. Heading into conference play, Dillinger sees Camy as an important piece to win games and improve on last year’s 1-7 conference record. “She naturally fits into the Big 12 just because of the level of experience she has had through

her youth programs,” Dillinger said of Camy. “She’s also big, physical, dynamic and a good defender, so I think if you combine all those elements together you have a good fit for this league.” The Cyclones will take on Texas Tech at 7 p.m. Friday at the Cyclone Soccer Complex.

ISU preps for USA champions Series information

By Jared.Stansbury @iowastatedaily.com

■■ North Iowa (3-0-0) vs. Iowa State (4-0-0)

Cyclone Hockey will hope to continue its winning ways this weekend when the junior national champions, North Iowa Bulls, come to ISU/Ames Ice Arena. Through the first two weeks of the season the Cyclones are 4-0-0, with two wins against Waldorf and the professional Huntsville Havoc. Despite the Cyclones holding an undefeated record, ISU coach Al Murdoch said there are areas for the team to continue to improve upon. “I consider it still early, so we aren’t in the condition we will be in down the road,” Murdoch said. “We just need to become more precise in all areas.” For Cyclone goalie Scott Ismond, there is one stat that has really stuck out to him through the first several weeks of the year. “We are getting a lot of blocked shots for this stage in the year,” Ismond said. “I think that shows the chemistry that we have on this team; we have never really had that before.” North Iowa comes to Ames with a 3-00 record. Last year, the Bulls won the USA Hockey Tier III National Championship. The Bulls are led in scoring by Timothy Santopoalo, who enters the series with six points. Jared Schletty has been the primary goaltender for North Iowa, playing 120 minutes and allowing only three goals. The Cyclones and Bulls faced off last year with the Bulls coming away with a 5-2 victory.

■■ Friday: 7:30 p.m. @ ISU/Ames Ice Arena ■■ Saturday: 7:30 p.m. @ ISU/Ames Ice Arena

“We underestimated them last year,” Murdoch said. “I thought we should have beat them, but obviously they scored more goals than we did.” There are several keys to getting a win this time around. “We need to play our style, use our ability to be physical in all three zones and to counter attack quickly,” Murdoch said. “I also think our goaltending is much improved from last year with Matt Cooper and Scott Ismond.” Ismond said one of the keys will be to not treat these games any differently than other games on the schedule. “Being from only North Iowa they will probably bring down a pretty good fan base,” Ismond said. “We just have to treat this like any other game though.” Another thing that Murdoch will be keeping his eye on this weekend is Bulls players with hopes that some might end up in ISU uniforms. “The Junior A guys from all over the world are the players that we recruit,” Murdoch said. “So we will be looking at these guys looking for players that could be prospective students and athletes for us.” The Cyclones’ series with North Iowa starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the ISU/Ames Ice Arena and continues through Saturday.

By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com The ISU women’s ultimate frisbee club is in the midst of a building season as the team prepares to make another run at nationals in the spring. After losing key seniors from last year’s squad, the club is searching for new talent. Success of past teams has come from hard work, dedication to practices and goals of competing in nationals. The strive to be the best has been passed down from team to team now for the past several years. “The teams from when we first started making nationals were committed to practice and working harder,” said Lana Seiler, one of the team’s three coaches. “They had the goal of wanting to make nationals and knew that they would have to work harder and commit to practice.” The club has already filled many of the voids left from last year’s seniors but is still searching for newcomers. The goal is to teach the rookies about the game in the fall, so they are ready to compete at a higher level come spring.

The team will allow students to sign up as late as the start of the spring season. “We’re adding a lot more depth to our roster, so we’ll have multiple people who understand multiple positions and play them very well,” said junior co-captain Janani Ragothaman. “That’s what we’re trying to do in the fall, so that we’re ready for the spring season.” Junior Kelly Schiro learned the basics of the game last fall and by spring was ready to compete competitively with teams from in and around Iowa. In order to compete at the same level of intensity as teams of previous years, the club has to be willing to put in the time and effort in each practice and improve each week. “We have fantastic coaches, so we’re just going to use what they teach us,” said sophomore Brittnee

Grimshaw. “We’re still practicing with the same level of intensity. We’re learning new plays and strategies, and we’re all working together to stay a strong team.” Expectations for the team remain high among players after the recent success they have had. “We want to be a really strong, consistent team and qualify for nationals,” Grimshaw said. “Hopefully we can still be one of the top teams in the nation.” Players on the team all look forward to the spring season when they finally get the opportunity to prove themselves in tournaments in an attempt to make nationals. “You get to compete with your team more and you get to see how far you’ve all come together,” Grimshaw said. “You also get to spend a lot of time with your friends and meet new people.”

Award-winning pianist to perform in Ames By Devin.Wilmott @iowastatedaily.com

Soyeon Kate Lee is not just any piano player but a pianist who has the ability to capture the attention of her audience and leave them wanting more. As a young child, Lee would come home from kindergarten and play songs she heard in the classroom on her toy xylophone. She would play by ear, the notes coming to her as if they were second nature. “[To me] music is the essence of life,” Lee said. “It is not to say that it is the most important thing in my life as I have so many things I love, but music teaches me about life through the lens of not only great works of art, but by struggling and working to become a better artist. Music is an outlet through which every human being can meet, young or old, rich or poor, educated or not — it holds the power to ‘move’ the heart, for reasons sometimes we cannot understand, and can take you to places where it can be of the greatest inspiration, solace, joy and friend.” Lee always had a connection with music, and that connection has brought her to win the highly prestigious Naumburg International Piano Competition in 2010. Besides being extremely gifted in her craft, Lee has a love for what she does. This love for music has brought her to earn both bachelor’s and master’s degrees

from The Juilliard School in New York, and has lead her to perform internationally in various settings. Lee has also been featured on the cover of SYMPHONY magazines “Emerging Artists” issue in 2006, and has received the Young Artist Award from the Classical Recording Foundation in 2009. A Naxos recording artist, her third album featuring Liszt opera transcriptions will be released in January 2014. Lee serves as a faculty member at The City College of New York, and makes sure students know “that one cannot deny the discipline and hard work it takes to hone their art.” She shares that loving music is not enough to build a career, and in order to overcome and master one’s self, it takes hard work and dedication. Lee as well finds a great interest in playing for college campuses and says she finds them very inspirational for her attendees. “I think that college students are at a time in their lives where they can be inspired, excited and changed, and there is an energy about a learning environment which sharpens our senses and that excites me,” Lee said. The Ames Town and Gown Chamber Music Association presented its first concert to the public on Nov. 26, 1950, and has brought outstanding music to the Ames and academic community ever since.

Six concerts are presented to Ames each season, all of which feature artists of international renown. Ames Town and Gown is very excited to present Lee’s solo piano performance to the Ames community. “I was interested in Ms. Lee because, as a winner of the prestigious Naumburg International Competition, she would be one of the most outstanding young pianists of her generation,” said Paula Forrest, artistic director of Ames town and Gown. Ames Town and Gown enjoys presenting solo pianists to the Ames community. Forrest shared that solo piano recitals have always been popular among their audiences. In addition to hearing a rising star in the piano world, the audience will hear music of familiar composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Janacek and Scriabin. “The music will range from deeply moving to technical virtuosity of the highest kind,” Forrest said. The concert is at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, in MarthaEllen Tye Recital Hall in Music Hall. Ames Town and Gown strives to introduce young people to the joys of fine music by providing free concert tickets to students of all ages. Concerts are free to all students with a valid student identification card. Tickets are $25 for nonstudents and will be sold at the door.

Tattoo trends change from year to year By Kelsey.Johnson @iowastatedaily.com Every fad has a trend, but in most cases the repercussions of following along are not permanent. The tattoo industry has become much larger, stronger and, most importantly, accepted in recent years. With the growing industry, comes a learning process that both artists and customers must go through. According to the National Post, 23 percent of Americans have at least one tattoo. Of that percentage, 17 percent regret their tattoo. Every customer’s worst fear is to dislike what they have put on their skin. Many times, it can be avoided by putting research into artists, image designs and placement of the tattoo. Campustown has three shops located on Welch Avenue: The Asylum, Jaded Angel and Lasting Impressions. All three locations agree that the most tattooed design this year has been the infinity knot symbol with variations having a single word placed in the knot. “Lately this season, infinity symbols with words. Whatever word you want, pick a word,” said Bob Parr, of Jaded Angel. “It’s almost to ad nauseum, where you’re like sick of it. Next time someone asks for an infinity symbol, I’ll just be like

Brandon Kolb, a tattoo artist at Lasting Impressions, comments on how there are tatoo trends that have never existed before such as white ink.

really?” Clint “Hot Rod” Sletten, of the Asylum, said that script will never go out of style as it holds the most meaning in a simple way. Some other common designs are feathers or trees breaking away into birds, anchors, dream catchers and simple swallows. “Script has always been popular and always will be,” Clint said. Another style that has been popular this last year is black light ink. Black light ink was approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1995, but it has not been common until the last

couple years. It is a difficult type of tattoo to keep looking fresh, but it is good for highlights on an already existing tattoo, Sletten said. Placement is an important element of any tattoo design, and Sletten will not tattoo palms or the bottoms of feet. His reasoning behind refusing to do so is because of the fading process. Sletten has a tattoo on his palm that he received within the last six months, and and already parts of it have faded out entirely. Parr and Sletten agree that social media has a huge effect on trending tattoos.

Sletten said that every day someone comes in with an image off of Pinterest. “Everybody gets tattoos on their ribs,” Sletten said. “I have refused to do tattoos in certain places or without changing the artwork somewhat to make it look better.” “The artistic value of tattooing is sky rocketing. People are expressing themselves, and it pushes it to a new level and it’s becoming more accepted,” said Brandon Kolb of Lasting Impressions, on the industry growing. “You owe it to yourself to do your research and find what’s right for you.”

‘Grand Theft Auto V’ provides alternate reality for gamers By Levi.Castle @iowastatedaily.com In my 35 hours with “Grand Theft Auto V,” I have done things I did not think I would be able to on this console generation. I have seen things that I can not explain and laughed at things that would merit horror in real life. Every time I play GTA V, I feel like I’m part of the world. And let me tell you, it is a world I have waited years to revisit. San Andreas, a huge map that is bigger than anything Rockstar has done in the past, offers what the same-titled GTA game did way back in the glory days of the PlayStation 2: an overwhelmingly well-blended mix of country and city chaos. Two-thirds of the map is a vast desert, but most of the land is anything but barren. The game is one massive rip on pop culture. Parodies are everywhere, as we come to expect

from Rockstar games. Our main characters, Michael, Franklin and Trevor, each have different cellphones that mock Apple, BlackBerry and Windows phones. The radio plays frighteningly satirical product commercials, and with such a large part of the game focused on Hollywood (or, in GTA V’s case, “Vinewood”), the amount of parody fodder you get to experience will have you simultaneously laughing and realizing that it is actually not that far-fetched from the world we live in today. The game does something that very few others have attempted to, in that you can play three very different people any time you want. The system is called SWITCH, and it is groundbreaking. Not only did Rockstar deliver a visceral experience in which I cared about my character, they did it three times. Michael is the rich, retired bank robber who dislikes his family and just wants to find meaning in his settled life. Franklin is a

rookie criminal; young compared to the other two, he is just getting in to making large amounts of money for less-than-ethical tasks. On the topic of ethics, there’s Trevor. Now, I have heard claims that Trevor is too violent for video games. If the Internet didn’t jade me years ago like it has, I’d maybe support that claim. But as someone who appreciates just how wacko the human race is capable of being, I found Trevor to be just as sobering as he was hilarious. The guy is a psycho, and it is made very clear the first time you meet him. This is not a game for kids, and quite frankly I’m very surprised Rockstar got away with an “M” rating instead of “AO: Adults Only.” The way Los Santos (the city portion of the map) and the rest of San Andreas operates makes every play session feel like I’m heading out for a productive day with my character of choice. I found myself roleplaying the different characters when I played them. When I felt like be-

ing a jerk, I would always equip Michael with a black suit and classy shades and then creep around the rich neighborhoods just looking for someone to rob. Franklin would always be my car guy, having his garage stocked full of the best tuners I could customize. Trevor was my stressreliever; his quotes alone make him the best choice for going on rampages. Graphics? All you need to know is that they rock. Pop-in are inevitable with this console generation, but this is not going to get better until the game is ported to new hardware. But, who cares when your jaw is constantly on the floor from the stunning attention to detail? There is just one complaint I have. I feel it is way too easy to die in GTA V. Even with armor, you cannot take more than around 20 to 30 shots anywhere in the body before you are dead. That might sound generous, but it is really not compared to other games. I refrained from revisiting

the glory days of 5-star shootouts just because I could not stay alive more than 20 seconds to enjoy them. It really hurts the experience of causing mayhem, which is something I have always enjoyed the series for. Yeah, there will be a health cheat code. But it is not out yet, and as of now, being wanted is more of a pain than a thrill. And, even when it is out, you cannot access the cheats via cellphone any more. You have to go back to the slow button-press combinations of the past, a step backwards in my opinion. Maybe they will patch it later. My time in San Andreas has only just begun. I have rarely visited the same place twice, always enjoyed the missions and have had so much nostalgia that I sometimes forgot to breathe while playing. Rockstar has delivered one hell of a way to close this console generation, and with it they have also delivered what I think deserves to be Game of the Year.

Beginners gymnastics class now offered to ISU students By Katie.Grunewald @iowastatedaily.com A gymnastics class for college age students is now being offered to ISU students. “Cardinal College Class,” offered by Cardinal Gymnastics Academy, is open to any student between the ages of 18 and 22, who has a valid ISUCard. Iowa State’s gymnastics coaches and husband and wife, Mary and Jay Ronayne, own Cardinal Gymnastics Academy. The idea came to Mary over the summer after a number of students had asked her if there was an opportunity for college age people to work on their gymnastics skills. “I sat down with my husband, we both own the club together, and we talked about it, and I said why don’t we just give it a trial basis and open up a college class for 18- to 22-year-olds, so that’s what we did,” Mary said. The class they offer is structured is not simply an open gym. Coaches are stationed at different “events” around the gymnasium and students are able to rotate through them as they please, after doing a 15 to 20 minute structured warm-

up with the coaches at the beginning of the class. The class is offered every Wednesday night from 7:30 to 9 p.m. on the second floor gymnasium in Beyer Hall. For students interested in taking the class, there is a $20 registration fee, and an additional fee of $10 per class. Students can register in the Gymnastics Office, 2304 Beyer Hall, which is open Monday through Thursday, 4:30 to 7 p.m. The class has been offered for two weeks, and approximately 25 students attended the first week. “We had a variety of girls and guys, it wasn’t half and half, but it was pretty close,” Mary said. “We had no idea how many people would should up, there could have been two, there could have been 100, we just had no idea how many would show up. I thought it was a good success, and we’ll work with whatever numbers come in.” In order to be able to offer this class, the Ronaynes had to make sure their insurance company would cover students older than 18. “We worked with our insurance company to make sure we could do it with the age range going all the way up to 22 years old,” Mary said. “Our age range use to be

just to 18 and that’s why our club is just 18 months to 18 years old.” The class is available for any skill level. Mary said students who cannot even do a forward roll can be taught, and her husband Jay is there for anybody that would need a bigger spot. “I would love to keep this going, its just a great way to give the Iowa State stu-

ISU Dining looks to increase retail Providing students with plentiful food options is main goal By Brian.Voss @iowastatedaily.com The Government of the Student Body’s Senate meeting on Wednesday was headlined by Nancy Keller, the director for ISU Dining. Keller touched on an increase in transactions this year due to the growing school enrollment. “There is more demand for food,” Keller said. This year, campus dining services has a thousand more transactions a day compared to the same time last year. To help handle the increased enrollment, a cafe has been added in Curtiss Hall. Keller said that the space, the Global Cafe in the Harl Commons, has been under-utilized at this time. “That is the model of some of the things I’m looking for,” Keller said. Keller expressed an interest

to have more retail on campus, but stated that she does not want to overextend ISU dining. “The reality is we need some seating,” Keller said. Keller said the prices for meal plans have not increased for this year. She said this is partly due to the high number of students on meal plans. ISU Dining also had an accomplishment this last year when it was voted 10th for the best food services in the nation by CAPPEX. Keller expressed wanting to be even higher than 10th. “Ten is great, but I have a boss that was in the Olympics,” Keller said, referring to Tom Hill, senior vice president for Student Affairs. GSB Sen. Adam Daugherty asked what happens with the food that goes unused. Keller said the small amount of food that goes unused is taken by a local Kiwanis club and delivered to Food at First, a local meal program. Keller said, however, that catered items can only be served for four hours due to food safety. Keller also encouraged attendance at the Oct. 10 Food

>>BOOKS p1 Potter,” said Katie Thielmann, sophomore in materials engineering. “The last movie came out when I was a senior in high school. It was just kind of my whole childhood was Harry Potter.” Jill Krygowski, sophomore in kinesiology and health, started reading the books at a young age. She said the Harry Potter series has also changed some people in different ways. “I think it’s influenced people just through, like, friendship and knowing the values of love and family and being a good person and doing what’s right,” Krygowski said. Harry Potter has also impacted the ISU community and taken a life of its own. For example, Quidditch, a sport played on broomsticks in the books, is an Iowa State recognized athletic sports club. “Really the only thing Harry Potter’s done for us is given us the sport, basically,” said Andrew Folkmann, president of the Quidditch Club. “People are starting to see us as more athletic than

Committee Meeting. The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. in Conversations in Oak-Elm and is open to all students. In addition to Keller’s presentation t the meeting, two new GSB Supreme Court justices were seated, as well as a senator representing Human Sciences. Caytlin Hentzel, senior in event management and political science, was unanimously confirmed as chief justice. Hentzel expressed interest on seeing the judicial branch of students better utilized. “I definitely plan on trying to put things into play so people know we’re here,” Hentzel said. Katherine Geneser, senior in political science, was unanimously confirmed as an associate justice. GSB President Spencer Hughes expressed interest in seating both justices to obtain a quorum in the court. He said the remaining three court openings will be filled on later dates. Laura Alexander, junior in kinesiology and health, was unanimously approved as to fill the open Senate seat for Human Sciences.

You can afford to go; you’ll enjoy being there, and you’ll be able to see a mix of bigger bands and then a whole ton of upand-coming bands from Iowa. Would you recommend interning with Maximum Ames to your fellow students? In terms of internship stuff, I had a ton of problems getting a [Jl MC] 499 internship. Things would always just fall apart or I wouldn’t come up with anything. But this summer, I got offered three, this was one of them, and I turned the other two down for this one. If people are looking for an internship that have some experience and they enjoy music, definitely check these guys out. They won’t turn people away. People should keep them in mind, email them, and it’ll probably pan out.

Somebody might want take a study break and come put and flip a little bit. We would love to continue it if all goes well and we have the numbers, even into next spring.”

>>BLEYER p1 brother Keith Bleyer, former sports anchor for Fox Sports’ Net Rocky Mountain in Denver, Colo., had just landed his first job at a local new station in, Plattsburgh, N.Y. Bleyer observed his brother and the amount of fun it seemed he was having and the law of attraction began to take its toll. Because of this, Keith decided to change his major from engineering to journalism and set out with a goal. “I set out to be a real journalist,” Bleyer said. “[I saw] my brother explode into the scene. ... I started watching him and that’s when I decided I want to be like these engineers or do I want to be like [anchors]?” Shortly after his decision, he had his news debut with NPR.

merous career opportunities writing and producing from some of the biggest political shows before he landed with “The Daily Show” in 2005. “Satire is telling the truth without really saying the truth,” Bleyer said. Bleyer’s book, “Me The People,” will be the primary focus of his lecture today as well as the connection between satire and political reporting. In his book, he takes a satirical sword and shield wielding approach to exposing the Constitution and all of its flaws and aims to shed light as well as offer a completely new rendition of the Constitution. “I didn’t quite know I would find this many flaws,” Bleyer said. “I was shocked by how many loopholes were in the thing.” Bleyer’s lecture will begin at 8 p.m. and is all part of the Constitution Day keynote.

In many ways, this has proved true in the real world, but Yager said she does not believe that will be true for long. “I think Harry’s time has passed,” Yager said. “Give it another two or three years … and it won’t be cool anymore. That’s what I predict. I mean, everything comes and goes. I think his star will set in another couple of years.” The final Harry Potter book was released in 2007. The final movie came out in 2011.
