Cystainability:

When students first go off to college, they have many decisions to make ranging from meal plans, to what classes to take, what clubs to join and especially where they want to live. When it comes to places to live, students can choose from living on or off campus, living with roommates or alone. Many universities, including Iowa State, also have the option for students to live in a learning community.

The University of Iowa recently gained media attention for another living arrangement that will go into effect next year. The university will be offering a residence floor to the Gay,

Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Allied Union community.

According to Kate Fitzgerald, director of Residence Life and Academic Initiatives with the University Housing and Dining Department, the option will be added to the 2012-2013 housing application. The new residence floor is considered a Living Learning Community.

Missouri GOP set March presidential caucus JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri Republicans are bailing out of a February presidential primary that had threatened to throw confusion into the 2012 election calendar.

The Missouri Republican State Committee decided Thursday to use a caucus system to award delegates to presidential candidates, instead of relying on a primary election. The move means the last of Missouri’s delegates won’t be picked until June.

State law set Missouri’s primary on Feb. 7. But National Republican Party rules require Missouri to wait until at least March to hold its presidential contest, or risk losing half its delegates.

Now, half of Missouri’s delegates for the presidential convention will be selected on April 21. The other half will be selected on June 2.

A big problem in college towns like Ames is underage drinking.

Minors who are caught for possession of alcohol will find it can be a problem for them considering the consequences.

“For anyone who is under the age of 21 who is caught with possession of alcohol, it is a $330 fine,” said ISU Police Lt. Elliot Florer. “For a second offense, you will have to make a court appearance.”

The fine for a minor getting caught for drinking is $220. With court charges, it costs a total of $330.

“The surcharge is $70,” said Jim Robinson, investigations commander of the Ames Police Department. “The court charges are $60.”

In terms of whether the case falls under the city or state code depends on the case.

“We can use either code,” Robinson said.

According to the Ames municipal code, under section 17.18 number 2, those who are under the legal age of 21 are prohibited from purchasing any kind of alcoholic beverage unless they have the authorization of the Ames Police Department.

Interior design

Conference will prepare youth for 2012 elections

ISU students take on New York City

By Kaitlyn.De Vries @iowastatedaily.com ISU interior design students and faculty flew to New York City for a senior field study to study the interior design profession such as manufacturers, design studios, showrooms and museums.

The objective of this trip was to expose students to the office environment and highlight issues/approaches to sustainable design in the office setting. Some highlights that occurred during the Sept. 18-21 trip included a memorable and moving experience observing the Memorial for 9/11, the Museum of Modern Art, also known as MOMA, where Picasso, Van Gogh and Monet’s art is displayed, Bank of America Tower — the second tallest building in NYC — and LEED-platinum certified, well-respected architectural firms and the Design Center.

“Having grown up in New Jersey, I am deeply moved whenever I visit lower Manhattan and think about what happened there,” said Amy Mikovec, senior lecturer of art and design. “As we walked the streets between the 9/11 memorial and Trinity Church, we talked about what it would have been like to have been there that morning. I am saddened by the loss so many people had to endure, but am also inspired by the courage and selflessness that so many others displayed that day, and in the years since.”

“I had the opportunity to hear the editor in chief of ‘Architectural Digest,’ Margaret Russell, introducing Special Projects Editor Mitchell Owens speaking on today’s top trends in art,” said Katie Ledin, senior in interior design. Ledin was one of the 55 students who attended. “It was a great experience to explore New York City culture. I liked seeing

the New Yorker’s way of life and their working style,” said Meghan Reichert, senior in interior design. “In comparison to Iowa firms, New York’s space plan within the office differed as office systems seemed more open.”

For the past 10 years, there has been an elective course that has gone to New York City.

This was the first year that the entire interior design class has gone to N.Y.C. “No major issues occurred on the trip; for the most part, it went according to plan,” Mikovec said. “We allowed students free time in the evenings and the morning of our last day, so that they could have some ‘ownership’ in the field trip.”

The only concern the group faced dealt with the size of the group. “Very few firms and offices were able to accommodate more than 20 students at a time,” Mikovec said.

“Increased security kept us from going through lobby areas to look at or photograph the interiors.”

Pam Iasevoli, assistant professor in art and design, said, “Interior design is a major which relies heavily on visual information. While much can be accomplished in the classroom and studio, field trips provide students an opportunity to ‘experience’ space. We typically choose major metropolitan areas, which are rich in innovation as well as historic interiors.”

Students have gone to Minneapolis, Chicago, Las Vegas, Toronto, Canada, Miami and Seattle. Members in the Interior Design Student Association have had the opportunity to go to Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis and St. Louis. Field studies are made possible by the collaboration of the students and faculty.

Student fees are required. The faculty decides on a location based on the studio content and where might be the best location for students to gain insight into the design issues relative to that studio.

Young Democrats will gather at Drake University

By David.Bartholomew @iowastatedaily.com On Sunday, Democratic representatives from college chapters and youth organizations all around Iowa will be heading to Des Moines to attend the College and Young Democrats of Iowa’s first ever fall conference in Alliber Hall at Drake University.

This conference has been a much-anticipated gathering that is meant to prepare the young people of Iowa for the 2012 elections. And with the pendulum of the country’s political ideology swinging every two years, many consider the 2012 elections, especially in Iowa, to be a pivotal tell-all for the rest of the country.

“This conference is a chance to get all of the chapters together, mobilize them and prepare them for the upcoming 2012 election,” said CYDI’s communications director Margaret Murphy.

One key issue for both parties in the upcoming elections is the new congressional redistricting map that came as a result of the recent census.

Iowa currently has five representatives it sends to the House of Representatives, but with population change, the state will be reduced to four congressional districts, which changes the game a bit for congressional campaigns, especially in Ames.

However, the Democrats are very excited about the hopes for former first lady of Iowa Christie Vilsack, running in Iowa’s newly drawn fourth congressional district against likely opponent Republican

“This conference is a chance to get all of the chapters together, mobilize them, and prepare them for the upcoming 2012 election.”

Margaret Murphy Rep. Steve King.

“We are very excited about Christie Vilsack’s campaign,” said CYDI President Austin Frerick, “and Iowa State University is one of our huge priority chapters because of it ... Rep. Steve King is too far to the right.”

The conference is expected to turn out between 30 and 50 representatives from across the state and will be highlighted by speeches from Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Sue Dvorksy and CYDI honorary chair Matt McCoy, a state senator from Des Moines.

Both the Iowa Democratic Party and the CYDI are banking on the efforts of grass-

• Back • Neck • Headaches • Extremities • Acupuncture

roots movements like college students and young people to be a main driving force in 2012 similar to what swung President Barack Obama and Democrats into power in 2008.

“We are definitely trying to get people involved on their campus,” Murphy said, “and our focus is getting a strong showing at the caucus so we are ready to campaign.

Support for Obama trickles down to other candidates.”

One of the main hurdles for the Democratic Party in Iowa has been the extreme split between rural and urban voting patterns. As predicted, rural areas usually vote Republican while urban centers lean Democratic; this causes a headache in predicting a winner.

“The grass-roots infrastructure is already being laid out,” Frerick said. “And Obama’s campaign thinks Iowa, especially Ames, will be a big player in the upcoming elections. The Republicans in the House of Representatives have been pushing through very extreme measures and because of this, I think all four of our congressional candidates [in Iowa] are viable.”

Editorial

Fiscal crisis is Greece’s newest epic Europe’s current fiscal crisis is the worst international crisis Greece has given us since the Iliad. Countries retract from trading internationally, and ultimately states such as Italy and Spain face prospective default.

This is an epic story, one which ultimately includes us and a lesson we can learn.

The Sparknotes version of Greece’s fiscal troubles starts on Dec. 8, when Greece’s rating was cut down to BBB+ by The Fitch Ratings, the first time in 10 years it was rated below investment grade. Because of speculations that Greece’s austerity programs would not save its economy, it was deemed unworthy of investment. As a result of increasing debt, the international community lost faith in Greek bonds and investments.

The result of the cuts cost countries holding large numbers of Greek bonds to panic. Suddenly pitched into the center of a crisis, Spain had to amend a plan and save 50 billion euros it would have lost in Greek investments, including spending cuts totalling 4 percent of GDP, continuing the problems of a stagnant economy.

The European community needed to act quickly to prevent a Pandora’s box of debt from crushing the euro.

In April, they approved a 30-billioneuro aid for Greece, which Athens declined. The same month, April 27, Standard & Poor’s dropped Spain’s rating because of poor prospects of growth; they marked Greece’s credit status as junk, below any investment level.

Something had to be done, so as a first assault the EU and IMP created a bailout in exchange for 30 billion euro of Greek cuts. Fifty thousand Greeks responded by rioting, unions staged a 48-hour strike and civilians died in the burning of a bank. Other countries such as Portugal faced similar riots as they cut government programs.

Both Spain and Italy began making cuts in fear. On May 25, Italy made a 24-billion-euro budget cut, reducing their stagnant GDP even more. Spain’s private debt was at a 10-year high, and Germany unilaterally banned short selling of shares.

On May 13, Portugal was forced into another 9.4 percent cut. As a lastditch effort, European policymakers installed a 750-billion-euro safety net against the Greek crisis, but was it too late?

It is an epic crisis by definition, with huge actors, monumental disasters and an important lesson.

We should take the Greek experience as a lesson not to let fear rule the economy.

In times of economic trouble, states left to laissez-faire style government loses control.

Legislature

Photo illustration: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily Armor-piercing bullets had caused debate between Democrats and Republicans about the safety and legality of banning of such ammunition.

Columnists Peterson and Snell face off about the issue.

Gun law: Safety v. liberty Amendment giving right to bear arms written because of reasonable threats

Fear-generated potential regulations can rob civilians of hunting recreation

’m not a “liberal” by any means, but after independently thinking through guns and ammunition, I tend to agree with the liberal “side.” The right to bear arms and load up on explosive or armor-piercing ammunition is not necessary for private individuals.

In this age, I find a lack of threats to justify personal assault rifles, armor-piercing bullets, incendiary bullets or bullets with depleted uranium for an explosive impact.

Back in 1791 when the Second Amendment was drafted, there were legitimate threats close to home: We had the Native Americans, the British and the French along all of our borders.

Today it’s a bit different. You can argue for the need to protect your private person, but until a British battalion tries to steal your jewelry, such an argument excludes .50-caliber rounds and ammunition designed to pierce concrete walls.

Besides, if the British ever did try to take your rings, you might want to consider letting the U.S. military handle them. We have that now, an excellent, well-trained, well-armed army.

They have all the armor-piercing, explosive, incendiary and frangible bullets they need to deal with the British. I don’t see much need to carry a .50-caliber rifle through the streets of Ames, Iowa. After all, isn’t that why we went into Iraq, to keep our streets safe?

I’m sure that any federal marshal would agree that the forms of armament available need restrictions. Hollowed bullets and armorpiercing bullets seem to have little use except in combat settings. You can’t eat a deer that’s been gruesomely scattered across the woodland floor or thrown into the canopy. I’d prefer to keep such destructive power in the hands of officers and experts rather than turn such dangerous ammunitions against them.

Maybe the term “armor-piercing” bullet needs more qualification. Take this as a separate issue from assault rifles, .50-caliber bullets or explosive bullets. I defend that those are combatoriented and a danger to have in the hands of average citizens who are untrained to use them and have no adequate reason to carry them. Some bullets, however, have legitimate purposes for citizens. For example, I would never want to ban hunting rifles or sports rifles. Coming from Minnesota and being immersed in a hunting family, I understand the use of a rifle to feed your family and enjoy the wild.

Hunting rifles may be armor-piercing, but are they designed with a “hardened penetrator built into a copper or cupronickel shell” that seems to be the composition of specific armor-piercing shells?

I think we’re intelligent enough to parse the term and ban parts we see fit while allowing for others. We can keep armor-piercing bullets such as ammunition used to hunt or shoot for sport, while banning others. The key is to look at the issue critically and ask what’s the purpose of the bullet.

It’s true, we need to define our terms of use. Bans on armorpiercing bullets, if we decide to make them, need to be maneuvered so that we don’t eliminate all arms. I want safer streets, I want safer gun holders, but I also want the right to hunt and shoot for sport.

New questions must be raised, what type of armor does the term “armor-piercing bullet” apply to? If it’s a basic nylon vest, we may eliminate most arms. How are specific armor-piercing bullets designed differently from ammunition for a hunting rifle? Generally, what is the purpose for this specific type of ammunition? We can decide these questions.

No issue is so simple that we can make conclusions solely based on what we think we know. When it comes to armor-piercing bullets, let’s hear the whole argument out and take it one by one. There may be some armor-piercing bullets we don’t want to do away with.

Simply because most bullets pierce nylon vests is no reason to illegalize them all. Lucky it doesn’t have to be one or the other. I think we can ban armor-piercing bullets, but keep our hunting, too.

any individuals do not understand why the NRA would be against banning armor-piercing bullets. Most liberals are generally in favor of various gun control schemes, including bans on assault weapons and armor-piercing ammunition. This anti-gun sentiment was especially prevalent in the mid1990s during the Clinton administration, which is the setting for our armor-piercing ammo dilemma.

In 1995, President Bill Clinton said “[if] a bullet can rip through a bulletproof vest like a knife through hot butter, then ... we should ban it.” On the argument’s face, this sounds reasonable, but the problem arises from misconceptions about what bulletproof vests and bullets can and can’t do. As always, a little knowledge can help us figure out this issue.

First, the term “bulletproof vest” is pure Hollywood and political b.s. No vest is bulletproof. Police and military personnel typically refer to it as “body armor.” Like a knight’s armor in the Middle Ages, which could deflect a sword blow yet was vulnerable to arrows or a spear thrust, today’s body armor is also resistant to certain types of attacks but vulnerable to others.

The body armor police officers wear is made up of Kevlar or a similar material.

Kevlar is a type of thread with a high tensile strength, woven into a sheet of fabric with an extremely tight weave. To make a vest, layers of the fabric are stacked on top of each other and each vest contains at least a couple dozen layers. The Kevlar stops bullets essentially by acting as a really tough net, catching the bullet as it passes through. However, Kevlar is vulnerable to projectiles of certain velocities and shapes. Logically, high velocity bullets with a more pointed design will penetrate Kevlar easier than slower bullets with blunted noses.

Herein lies the problem: Pretty much any common rifle round intended for hunting or target shooting will punch through soft body armor like Clinton’s “knife through hot butter.” Handgun bullets, on the other hand, are typically stopped cold by soft body armor.

Democrats call bullets that defeat body armor “cop killer bullets.” They replaced reason with fear and asserted in fact and reality that every hunting and target rifle, including grandpappy’s rusty old gun collecting dust in dad’s closet, is a cop-killing machine. Now, arguments against hunting aside, if that sounds absolutely absurd to you, that’s because it is.

The NRA opposed Democrats’ cries to ban armor-piercing ammo because darn near every rifle cartridge in existence would have fallen under the proposed ban. If Democrats had gotten their way, they would have made essentially all ammo used for legitimate, non-cop killing, purposes illegal. Even the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agreed that the Democrats’ definition was far too vague and encompassing.

The NRA worked with Democrats to refine their definition of armor-piercing ammo, resulting in a portion of the Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 that outlawed the sale of ammo specifically designed for barrier penetration, which is standing law today. Therefore the NRA’s opposition wasn’t aimed at defending any and all types of ammo as liberals claim, but rather ensuring that law-abiding citizens weren’t turned into outlaws by an ignorant, gun hating, fear-fueled stroke of Bill Clinton’s pen.

This is a case of Democrats creating a horrible-sounding label (“cop-killer bullets”), falsely applying it to a legitimate thing to get it banned out of fear, then demonizing anyone who opposes the scam as horrible people because they must want cops to get killed. What’s worse is the media that eats it up and regurgitates it back to an ignorant public who depends on said media for information to form reasoned opinions. Regardless of one’s political ideology or position on guns, everyone should be upset that our legislators and media treat us like idiots and try to purposely manipulate us.

Society’s obsession with Facebook: A tragic love story Site is like significant other you never knew you had

T

his last week of redesign and added features on Facebook was summed up by one image that was making its way around the net. It was a picture of Xzibit with the caption “Yo dawg, I heard you like Facebook, so we put a Facebook in the upper right of yo Facebook so you can Facebook while you Facebook.” (If you aren’t familiar with that meme, Google “yo dawg” in Google Images and you’ll be quickly brought up to speed.) It brought perspective to what apparently was a stressful day for the users of the Internet.

Facebook changed, again.

I’ve used Facebook since Feb. 24, 2007 (you can download all of your old statuses, in case you didn’t know), and I feel as if I can comfortably come out and say I’m a Facebook whore.

Although I’ve never played any of the Facebook games and only have 300 friends, I could present a lineup of witnesses attesting to my addiction.

That being said, I’ve stuck with Facebook through thick and thin. Through all of the privacy issues, redesigns (that I’ve never actually minded), the launch of Facebook apps and games, and even through the emergence of Twitter and Google+, I’ve stayed true to the blue-and-white-themed social network.

The recent addition the mini-feed and the proposed conversion of profiles to “time lines” have caused quite an uproar. Of course these changes are completely unprovoked, confusing and for the most part unwanted.

I think however, that if I can explain Facebook in such a way that we’ll all understand, you’ll be able to cope with these changes, and even decide if Facebook is still the social network for you.

Now, ladies, take no offense to the following analogy as you might agree yourselves that the following is the truth.

Facebook is like the significant other you never knew you had. Way back in high school, she was that cute girl that was more fun, more attractive and even smarter than your last love affair (MySpace).

You check her out, but as rumor has it, she only dates college guys. So you wait it out a bit, and eventually she changes her mind, a bit of flirting and you’re in!

The first date is a bit awkward, a bit confus-

By Heath.Verhasselt @iowastatedaily.com ing and she even pokes you a few times. You’re not quite sure what to think, but stick with it anyway.

You keep dating, meet each others’ friends, start to bump into each other more and more.

Eventually you find yourself hanging out with her all the time, until one day she tells you she’s going to cut her hair. OK, fine, that’s not a problem, and it proves to be a good idea.

But then a few months later she gets another haircut, this time not as pretty.

She starts telling all your friends about all you, including all your secrets. Once you get her to stop, she does it again, this time to people you don’t know. She then decides that what you need in your relationship is more entertainment, how about some browserbased games? How about we join some groups? Why not tell each other where we are at all times with the GPS in our phones? And it doesn’t stop there.

She knows all your buttons, but pushes them at the wrong time. Single? Meet singles in your area. Dating, buy some engagement rings!

Unemployed, get a job!

Not to mention she’s always trying to sell me her “Star Trek” DVDs. This girl is officially all up in your business. And to top it all off, after you’ve come back from summer vacation, you find that she’s gained 20 pounds, got herself some nasty piercings, and has decided that she only wants you to talk to your “favorite friends” and to shun the rest by forcing you to scroll down to see them.

Last week, she told you that she wants to start scrapbooking with you, a time line of your time together. And I think it’s at this point you realize you’re dating a crazy, and that you need to get out. A clean break, go cold turkey.

You want to, but can you?

Midwestern research staple to be shut down

By Amelia.Johnson @iowastatedaily.com

Millions of protons and antiprotons fly in opposite directions in a large circular

collider, smashing into each other at high speeds. These sorts of experiments are done at the Tevatron, a high-energyparticle collider at Fermilab in Batavia, Ill., about 42

miles west of Chicago. But on Friday, this giant collider will shut down after a little more than a quarter of a century of colliding.

The Tevatron is “the world’s highest-energy proton-antiproton collider” according to the Fermilab. “It’s both an accelerator and a collider. It accelerates protons and antiprotons to very high energies, and then stores them in a ring, and they counter rotate and collide head on,” said John Hauptman, a high-energy physicist and professor in the department of physics and astronomy at Iowa State.

Protons are injected into

the Tevatron from the Main Injector Ring. They begin to build up more and more speed, and at one point antiprotons are injected.

“The higher the energy of the incoming particles, the more detail we can see,” said E. Walter Anderson, a professor who works with high-energy physics in the department of physics and astronomy at Iowa State.

These particles fly in opposite directions and collide.

These collisions are recorded by data collaborations on the Tevatron.

Tevatron. One reason is because of the newer European collider, the LHC, Large Hadron Collider, at CERN. The LHC is running at a higher energy than the Tevatron is now. “If we want to study the most fundamental particles we can get our hands on, we need higher and higher energy,” Anderson said.

The LHC is also producing more data. “It’s a huge volume of data, it’s an avalanche of data. You don’t try to compete with that. There’s no sense in duplicating things you can learn. And there’s already two big experiments at the LHC. Two’s enough, you don’t need four, two’s enough,” Hauptman said.

Another reason is that it’s costly to run a particle accelerator. It would cost millions just to run the Tevatron for another year. “It’s a losing game

to keep an accelerator running forever,” Hauptman said.

Fermilab and CERN are not the only ones to use accelerators either.

“Industry uses accelerators a lot,” Hauptman said.

For instance, the Iowa State University Meat Laboratory uses a linear accelerator, using an irradiation process, to decontaminate the meat that passes through, processing 500 pounds per hour, according to the Linear Accelerator Facility at Iowa State University website.

Although Fermilab’s biggest energy collider will be shutting down, experiments using other lower energy accelerators, and other fields will continue. The data collected from the Tevatron’s two major data collaborations, DZero and CDF, will be analyzed as well over the next few years.

>>UNDERAGE.p1

“If a minor is involved, there can be a conference with the parents,” Robinson said.

“We also check to see if they are on probation. If they are on probation, then they violated the terms of their probation.”

The common arrests for underage drinking in Ames usually tend to fall under the between the ages of 18 and 20.

Robinson said the largest number of arrests for minors in possession and possession of alcohol under the legal age come during the first two weeks leading up to class, home football games and Veishea week.

The Iowa Code Section 123.47 also states that those who are under 21 are prohibited from purchasing or attempting to purchase alcohol.

“Our offices are able [to use] either the state code or the city code,” Robinson said.

“The fine will be the same for that first offense.”

Possession of alcohol under the legal age means those who are between the age of 18 and 20 are arrested for possession of alcohol. Minors in possession are those who are younger than 18.

By Ashlee.Clark and Meg.Grissom @iowastatedaily.com A small group of people gathered at Ada Hayden Heritage Park at 9 a.m. last Saturday. The park, named for an ISU graduate who was dedicated to prairie preservation, seemed an appropriate meeting place for this event. But this group was rallying for a different kind of preservation: the preservation of our planet.

This event, also known as Moving Planet, takes

place on the same date every year in more than 175 different countries around the world. What is the purpose of these gatherings?

According to ActivUs vice president Rivka Fidel, graduate student in agronomy, the goal is to cease the use of fossil fuels and reduce the amount of CO2 in the air.

Also, the participants in Moving Planet hope to bring this issue to the attention of politicians. “[With] more [than] 350 events happening around the world, the more we convince politicians that this is what people want and what we need,” Fidel said.

Fidel explained it is important for politicians to

know that the public does take plans for sustainability into consideration when voting, and it is essential that they make strides in improving the quality of the air.

ActivUs, a student group on campus that focuses on environmental and social justice, urges students to get more involved in social issues.

So, naturally, they joined the Local 350 chapter and community members that morning at the park.

Around 15 people — and two dogs — participated in the walk around Ada Hayden Heritage Park.

Although it was a small group, community member Ellen Johnsen described them as “one more

voice in a choir.” The walk took place from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday morning, so participants could walk at their own pace and enjoy the crisp morning air.

When they were finished, they had the opportunity to write a letter to a politician, another way to communicate the urgency of the situation.

According to 350, the organization responsible for Moving Planet, the safe upper limit for the amount of CO2 in the air is 350 parts per million. The current amount of CO2 has been measured at 391 ppm.

Eventually, this number will reach the point where damage is irreversible. But, Fidel explained, the number still can be brought

back to the safer level if the proper actions are taken.

In order to accomplish this task, fossils fuels must be reduced in favor of renewable energy sources, sustainable agriculture techniques should be used more frequently, homes need to take precautions to use less energy and, finally, a community must practice the three Rs — reduce, reuse and recycle.

Saturday was a day when people could gather all over the world to speak out against fossils fuels to better the condition of our planet, but you can make an effort to do your part every day. Check out some recycling efforts you can do for your campus and community.

President approves solar loans The Energy Department on Wednesday approved two loan guarantees worth more than $1 billion for solar energy projects in Nevada and Arizona, two days before the expiration date of a program that has become a rallying cry for Republican critics of the Obama administration’s green energy program.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the department has completed a $737 million loan guarantee to Tonopah Solar Energy for a 110 megawatt solar tower on federal land near Tonopah, Nev., and a $337 million guarantee for Mesquite Solar 1 to develop a 150 megawatt solar plant near Phoenix.

The loans were approved under the same program that paid for a $528 million loan to Solyndra Inc., a California solar panel maker that went bankrupt after receiving the money and laid off 1,100 workers. Solyndra is under investigation by the FBI and is the focal point of House hearings on the program.

SolarReserve LLC, of Santa Monica, Calif., the parent company for Tonopah, is privately held.

Project aims for green economy University initiative will be built on 4 platforms

By Ashlee.Clark and Meg.Grissom @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State University, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa are working together with community colleges, private colleges and K-12 schools to conduct the research of Iowa’s capacity in renewable en-

ergy and energy efficiency.

Dr. Robert C. Brown, project manager, said he hopes to build capability in a young staff to equip labs and conduct work in the future for students.

The project will be an ongoing learning experience for all of the staff and faculty involved.

However, over the course of five years, Brown hopes to see young faculty take this research to build their careers.

To assist faculty in the research process, there is a program called Future Leaders in Advancing Renewable Energy. This program

will help develop careers of junior faculty in renewable energy fields and increase the participation of women, under-represented minorities and first-generation college students. The goal is to initially meet the needs of Iowa’s visible desire to become a green economy.

FLARE will be built on four major platforms: bioenergy, wind energy, energy utilization and energy policy.

Two of the platforms, bioenergy and wind energy, will have research assistance through outdoor labs.

Brown went on to explain

their goals of moving from the geosphere to the biosphere, harnessing energy flows. Their only worry is damaging the surface of our earth.

“We are obviously going to affect the surface, we just want to be sure we have a positive effect on Earth’s surface to be successful in our research,” Brown said.

Other goals include wind monitoring. They want to be able to see how often it blows, average intensity, what types of wind gusts could damage wind turbines and attempt to predict when the wind will blow.

Cyclones gain confidence to win Sunday’s doubleheader The ISU softball team is preparing for a doubleheader this Sunday against Kirkwood in Ames.

The Eagles are coming off an impressive 54-11 season that saw their season end four games into the 2011 NJCAA II tournament in a 1-0 loss to East Mississippi Community College.

“Kirkwood had a great year last year. I watched them play quite a bit in the national tournament; they’ll be very competitive and scrappy,” said ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler.

The Cyclones are trying to bounce back after a difficult loss to Drake last weekend at the Iowa Big Four tournament.

After beating Northern Iowa, 6-2 and run-ruling Iowa, 9-1, on Saturday, the Cyclones came out flat in a 9-0 loss to Drake on Sunday.

“Saturday we played at our best and Sunday probably one of our worst games,” said Cyclone catcher Evan Folks. “If we played perfect all the time, we’d just be here practicing going through the motions, so now we know what we need to work on.”

Gemeinhardt-Cesler hopes that the loss was a wake-up call for her team and said it will serve as motivation through the remainder of the fall schedule.

“More focus and the idea of knowing what we need to do and what we need to work on. Those are the good things that come from losses,” GemeinhardtCesler said.

“It’s pretty clear that if we play like we did Saturday, we’re going to have a lot of success. If we play like we did Sunday, we’re not.”

The Eagles have a talented but young team after losing all five of their Louisville Slugger/NJCAA Division II All-Americans from last year’s squad including ace pitcher Amanda Lambrecht.

Lambrecht had a 1.00 ERA last season, good for third-lowest in the nation in Division II and registered the most strikeouts in Division II with 305 on the season.

The Cyclones are more concerned about righting their own ship right now and getting back into the win column.

“We need to get our confidence back up and play with more focus this Sunday,” said Cyclone right fielder Anna Cole. “You always want to win and you want to beat the other Iowa schools and show who is the best in Iowa but it’s also good see where we are as a team.”

The Cyclones will open their doubleheader against Kirkwood on Sunday at 2 p.m. in Ames at the Southwest Athletic Complex, with the second game scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.

Sticking to what works

Cyclones will focus on ‘assignment football’

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com

The book on the ISU defense prior to this season has always been that it’s a bend-but-don’t-break, turnoverforcing squad.

But through three games, the Cyclones have only forced five opponent turnovers, while giving the ball away 10 times. Instead of over-emphasizing a focus on creating those takeaways, coach Paul Rhoads and his staff haven’t changed from their normal focus. “[We haven’t done] anything different than we normally do,” Rhoads said. “We talk about protecting the ball, making the right decisions, catching the ball. You can over-coach the heck out of that, and it can create more of a problem than it does if you’re coaching the same things and the right things specifically.”

While Rhoads said there hasn’t been any extra attention paid to them, turnovers have clearly been a trademark in several key wins for the Cyclones (3-0) in his first two years as coach.

Flash back to Oct. 24, 2009. On that day, the Cyclones went to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the Cornhuskers.

Iowa State hadn’t won at Memorial Stadium since 1977.

Eight turnovers and one desperation touchdown heave later, the Cyclones had upset Nebraska 9-7, vaulting them to an eventual and exciting Insight Bowl win against Minnesota.

A year after that, Rhoads took his team to Austin, Texas, to face thenNo. 22 Texas, having never beaten the perennial college football powerhouse in program history. The Cyclones forced four turnovers en route to the 28-21 victory.

“Opportunities will come; they always do,” said ISU linebacker A.J. Klein. “It’s just a matter of being in the right spot at the right time. By playing assignment football, we can increase those chances of getting those turnovers that [will] help us win the game.”

The No. 17 Longhorns (3-0) come to Ames on Saturday in a matchup of undefeated teams — something not many people predicted. Texas comes into the game having forced eight turnovers while committing five.

While Klein said assignment football would lead to turnovers and that there wasn’t any guaranteed way of forcing a turnover, he did acknowledge that there are some things the defense can control.

“It’s a lot about creating, too,” Klein said. “We have to get pressure

up front and force the quarterback to make bad decisions and throw the ball away. I know against Connecticut we did that. We got pressure with [defensive end Jacob] Lattimer off the edge.”

The focus of the turnover margin has been mostly on the defense’s lower number, but the Cyclone offense has given the ball away at a high rate so far this season. Players on the ISU offense know ball security will be paramount if the Cyclones hope to repeat

their performance of a year ago.

“You look at the [turnovers], you identify it and you go, ‘This cannot happen anymore,’” said ISU running back Jeff Woody. “Coach [Ken] Pope has done a good job of focusing us on what we have to do. It’s more of an attention problem where if you start to let everything else get to you, you lose focus on what’s necessary.

“Taking care of the ball is the most important part of football.”

The game is scheduled for Friday.

No. 8 Texas poses challenge

By David.Merrill @iowastatedaily.com They’re big, tall and fast. No. 8 Texas provides Iowa State with one of the toughest challenges of the season when it comes to Hilton Coliseum on Sunday.

Freshman outside hitter Haley Eckerman is a player the Cyclones (11-2, 2-0 Big 12) are going to have to keep an eye on. She averages 3.13 kills per set. Freshman middle back Khat Bell is also a solid contributor at 2.58 kills per set.

While those kill numbers are something to watch, Texas is second overall in the Big 12 in blocks.

The Longhorns (8-3, 1-0) average 2.91 blocks per set and have 116 total on the year.

“They run their backs really well,” said setter Alison Landwehr. “Texas is always big, too, so blocking-wise, we need to make sure we hit hard against them.”

Senior middle back Rachael Adams leads the Big 12 in blocks with 1.52 per set for the Longhorns.

Texas has won the last three meetings between these two teams. Iowa State’s last victory came in the second meeting of the season during the 200910 season when the Longhorns were No. 2 in the nation.

The Cyclones went 27-5 that season and 17-3 in conference play.

“Beating Texas when they were No. 2 at the time, fans storming the court after the fifth game, all that is what you love about college sports,” said

coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “It was one of the highlights for me personally since I’ve been at Iowa State. Hopefully we can match that and have the same type of atmosphere.”

The match is going to be televised by ESPNU. Iowa State has played well under the spotlight, having beat Florida and Missouri in its two previous televised matches.

Not surprisingly, Texas is back with another strong team. The Cyclones know an average performance will not cut it.

10 team, very athletic, we will have to play some amazing ball to beat them,” Johnson-Lynch said.

Iowa State has improved in the blocking area over the past two weeks. That will need to continue for the Cyclones to compete with the Longhorns.

Statistically the numbers don’t look all that significant, but to Johnson-Lynch they are. The coach said the Cyclones were averaging just more than two blocks per set before conference play. After the first two conference games, they are averaging just more than three blocks per set.

Iowa State has the advantage in the digging department. Sophomore libero Kristen Hahn leads the Big 12 in digs so far this year.

“I think we just need to play our defense like we do,” Hahn said. “We need to pass well and serve well. I think if we serve really tough then that will get their passes off the net and that will limit their ability to get balls set tight to the net.”

Cyclones are scheduled to play Texas at noon Sunday at Hilton Coliseum.

Men’s golf

Performance centers allow winter practice

By Brian.Spaen @iowastatedaily.com When the winter months come through Iowa, many of the sports become indoor-based or become an indoor activity.

Sports such as football, soccer, and golf become unplayable when temperatures hit below zero.

For many, golf is handicapped when pushed indoors. Only the short game and putting can be worked on. If that were the case, then the Cyclone men’s golf team wouldn’t be as competitive as it’s been.

Andrew Tank, ISU men’s golf coach, talked about one of the facilities here at Iowa State that helps them practice all aspects of the game.

“We have the Cyclone Golf Performance Center, which is a permanent structure that’s right at the

driving range,” Tank said. “The performance center has four stalls to hit out of with the ability to putt. It’s more convenient for us.”

Tank Previously when coaching at the University of Minnesota, Tank used a similar structure but not as permanently placed.

“It’s common to find performance Datz centers in the last five to 10 years,” Tank said. “A lot of schools have been investing in these facilities. They have the heated bays and short game areas.”

As the growth of these performance centers continue, additions

and upgrades will be a big part of the game.

“It’s not just for the Midwest,” Tank said. “Schools further down south are building them as well. It’s pretty common, most schools in the Big Ten and Big 12 would have something similar.”

Assistant coach Patrick Datz likes what the performance centers do for the golf team as the weather turns colder.

“The performance center is great,” Datz said. “Being able to practice year-round is really important especially being in the Midwest when the weather isn’t always great for golf. Practicing year-round is a big benefit.”

The University of Michigan will be opening a facility in less than a month with heated hitting bays.

Men’s golf coach Chris Whitten talked recently about the upgrades

that will be seen in these performance centers.

“They’re starting to build facilities to swing indoors but see the ball flight outdoors,” Whitten said. “The technology going into those spaces with launch monitors and video equipment is much more sophisticated than what it was five years ago. That’s helping the performance. The heated bays are providing facilities to use that technology.”

Performance centers help golfers and coaches study ball flight, an important part of the game to help driving and accuracy.

This is something that helps when they are in the three-month hiatus and get ready for the spring portion of the season.

“We come out in the spring and we are ready to go,” Datz said. “We aren’t flat; we are able to see the ball flight during the winter.”

Women’s golf

Thammaraks sees success Sophomore among top ISU performers

She has been one of the most consistent players week in and week out.”

Pina Gentile

By Mark.Schafer @iowastatedaily.com Success, as defined by the Webster’s New World College Dictionary, means the gaining of wealth, fame or rank. For the ISU women’s golf team, success has come from an outside source.

That outside source isn’t a booster or a corporate sponsor, it is the players that play on the team. Half of the team has come to the United States from abroad to Iowa State to play golf collegiately.

Four of the eight players come from the southeast Asian country of Thailand.

One of those players, Prima Thammaraks, has been a stable member of the Cyclones for the last two years and has helped in the team’s achieved ranking of No. 30 in the nation.

“She has been one of the most consistent players week in and week out,” said assistant coach Pina Gentile. “So it has been nice to see her perform and improve at the tournaments.”

Last year, Thammaraks was one of the top-performing golfers for the Cyclones. At the end of the year, she finished as an All-Big 12 selection and totaled three top 10 showings, including two runner-up finishes.

Thammaraks

Gentile

Photo courtesy of ISU Athletics Prima Thammaraks has a 14th-place finish and 42nd-place finish in this season’s two tournaments.

Through the first two tournaments this year, she has finished 14th at the seasonopening Dale McNamara Invitational and tied for 42nd at the Dick McGuire Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M. “She has had ups and downs in her career, but she always seems to stay focused on the next tournament,” Gentile said. “Her success from last year should carry over to this year.”

Thammaraks said she believes her success has come from her knowledge of the sport and willingness to improve to continually reach the next level.

“I do my best at every tournament and still practice every day with the team,” Thammaraks said. “Every tournament is a new opportunity to improve.”

While her short career already has plenty of highlights,

it is the three holes-in-one that are the most memorable to Thammaraks.

“Every hole-in-one has been the most memorable part while playing golf,” Thammaraks said. “Each one has been special to me, and I want to get some more.”

For Thammaraks, the next tournament on the schedule, the Windy City Classic, was the sight of her first secondplace finish from a year ago.

“She knows she can do well there,” Gentile said. “It’ll be good for her to return, since last [tournament] wasn’t her best.”

The tie for 42nd in the last tournament was the lowest she had finished in a fall tournament.

Thammaraks hopes to continue to bring Cyclones success in tournaments in the future.

>>LIVING.p1 University of Iowa’s housing application this year, it is not the first time the idea has been proposed. “The idea for this type of housing started six years ago,” Fitzgerald said.

In November 2010, the idea of the Spectrum House was introduced, and since that time the university has worked on implementing it. According to the University of Iowa Web page, the Spectrum House is “a living-learning community dedicated to promoting inclusion and awareness for individuals across the gender and sexuality spectrum in a safe and supportive environment dedicated to change.” All students gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and their allies are permitted to live on this residence floor.

In order to make this floor possible, it needs to house at least 26 students. “If the community expands beyond the 26 we will relocate it to a better physical location that can accommodate the interest,” Fitzgerald said.

Quentin Hill, UI freshman, is a member of Iowa’s GLBTAU Executive Board.

“In addition to a safe environment, the LLC would allow students who believe in achieving greater equality whether they are gay or straight to come together and work for a common cause,” Hill said. “It is not about segregation as many people seem to think. There are ethnic-based LLCs on campus which would be no different than the LLC or Spectrum House we are starting.”

rently have a residence floor for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Ally Alliance community. However, the option has not been ruled out, and there is and has been discussion on the idea.

“The desire is to provide a welcoming environment for students all across campus,” said Pete Englin, director of residence for Iowa State. “It has not been a direct need or desire from community members to establish a LGBTAA residence option.”

However, the department has discussed the idea, and also works routinely with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Student Services to assist students.

When any student is having an issue feeling welcome, the Department of Residence works with the student oneon-one and in a supportive manner, which Englin said has worked well. “Our highest and number one priority is creating a safe space for everyone; we want all students to feel safe here,” Englin said.

Every year, the DOR looks at the interests of all students and accommodate according

to student interest.

“There have been some discussions about adding a residence floor, but it has not been fully pursued yet,” said Anna Howie, president of Iowa State’s LGBTAA. “We haven’t ruled it out, but we are still looking for a better housing setup.”

Howie also sees many benefits to having a residence floor or option for LGBTAA students. “I feel it could be very beneficial to students in the future and help develop a sense of community,” she said.

While Iowa is adding a residence floor for their GLBTAU community, that is not the only option.

“There are many different options, including genderneutral floors, Living Learning Communities, and many others,” said Brad Freihoefer.

Freihoefer, LGBT Student Services Center Coordinator, believes student interest in this type of residence option has different realms.

“It is important to look at what the goals are and what we want to accomplish,” he said.

“We are focused on students and where they want to go.”

randomly selecting the use of the sequential or simultaneous procedure. In each procedure, there was one suspect, or person known to be guilty through the experiment, and five fillers, or persons known to be innocent.

In the sequential procedure, witnesses were shown one picture at a time.

The witness had to choose if the person shown was or was not the suspect before proceeding to the next picture. They also gave all of their answers verbally, which was recorded by the laptop. In the simultaneous method, witnesses were shown all of the pictures at once and then asked to verbally make a selection.

According to the results released by the American Judicature Society, an organization that works to protect the honor of our justice system, in the simultaneous procedure witnesses correctly identified the suspect 25.5 percent of the time.

In the sequential procedure, witnesses correctly identified the suspect 27.3 percent of the time. This is considered “not statistically significant.”

However, the same report also showed that the choosing of a filler, or innocent person, in the simultaneous procedure occurred in 18.1 percent of the identifications compared to the 12.2 percent with the sequential procedure. This is considered, “a statistically significant difference.”

“This shows how often witnesses are clearly making an error,” Wells said. “I

think this study will help show those with reservations that this method is a true improvement.”

Those “reservations” come from police departments that feel that the studies are unreliable because the people used are not real eyewitnesses to serious crimes. “They believe real witnesses would be too cautious to make errors,” he said.

To solve this issue, the study was conducted with the help of four separate police departments in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, N.C., Tucson, Ariz., San Diego, Calif., and Austin, Texas. At these locations, witnesses did not know that they were taking part in a study.

“We want to try to get police departments on board to change their procedures ... make [eyewitness identifications] more reliable,” said Danielle Mitchell, project manager of the American Judicature Society Center of Forensic Science and Public Policy.

Wells hopes to continue his research by looking at “how certain the witness was on their own at the time they make the identification.” This will be done by listening to the audio recordings, studying the certainty of the answer given by each witness and comparing it to if the witness did or did not select the correct suspect.

Race, quality of view when witnessing the crime, amount of time passed between the crime and the time of identification, and if a weapon was involved, also will be researched in the future studies.

The embodiment of Cyclone football Lattimer takes leadership role on ISU defense

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com Jacob Lattimer is a success story of sorts.

The senior defensive end is not a flashy guy who does a celebration dance after each sack or tackle for loss he records out on the football field.

Rather, the long-haired Cyclone, who describes his style of play as “balls out,” has become synonymous with the blue-collar demeanor that has been adopted by the ISU football team.

“He is who we are,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “He’s a blue-collar guy, he loves to work hard, he loves to play hard, he’s not flashy, he doesn’t have all these different pass rush moves and he’s not 6-foot-6 and so forth.

“He plays the game hard, he plays the game disciplined and guys around him feed off that.”

With time, the Fort Scott, Kan., native has become one of the leaders of a Cyclone defense that often has been touted as the workhorse of the team. “[Lattimer] pretty much gets us going when Coach is not around, and he leads by example,” said freshman defensive end David Irving. “Some guys, they’ll tell you what to do and they won’t do it themselves, [but] he actually does it

Jeremiah Davis, sports editor (20-8)

Texas — Mack Brown once coached at Iowa State. That does not mean he has fond memories of the Cyclones.

He might run away forever if the Longhorns lose Saturday.

Nebraska — I was in Lincoln last weekend, and I was threatened twice by Bo Pelini: for not playing the mini-golf course fast enough, and for implying his rage will kill him.

Arkansas — The Razorbacks will give the Aggies a good glimpse at their future. Bets on how quick A&M begs the Big 12 to take it back?

Alabama — Where’s Tim Tebow when you need him? Oh, that’s right.

Church. And in Denver.

Virginia Tech — Clemson beat an FSU squad that gave Oklahoma fits, but can they go into Blacksburg and win? I don’t think so.

Baylor — No, Bill Snyder, your eyes aren’t that bad (OK, maybe they are), Robert Griffin is in fact that quick.

LSU — Cannot deny that I’d be perfectly happy if we all got this one wrong.

Jake Calhoun, assistant sports editor (17-11)

Iowa State — “Iowa State will never beat Texas in my lifetime.” — Professor David Bulla last year the day before Iowa State beat Texas. But seriously, we miss you, Bulla.

Wisconsin — The lamb that Bo Pelini brutally sacrifices before this game won’t do the Cornhuskers any good.

Texas A&M — Mike Sherman’s players have finally stopped asking him what Brett Favre is like in person.

Alabama — Will Muschamp will get as red as Bo Pelini when the Crimson Tide rolls the Gators like the waves of Hurricane Saban.

Clemson — The Tigers looked impressive in taking down higher-ranked Florida State last week, but can they do the same on the road? I still like Dabo’s chances.

Baylor — Bill Snyder’s expedition of auditing retirement homes in Miami went better than expected, but RG3 will end his good mood ... That is, if Snyder can stay awake.

LSU — I always forget Kentucky is in the SEC.

Dan Tracy, senior sports reporter (20-8)

Texas — UT nearly buried the Big 12 and they’ll bury Iowa State if the Cyclones don’t limit mistakes and score points early and often.

Wisconsin — Fun fact: “Jump Around” was actually written about the movement of Bo Pelini’s forehead veins.

Texas A&M — Hog + Aggie = Hoagie. A&M’s offense is bread for success, the Razorbacks’ defense meats their maker Saturday and this pick was cheesy.

Alabama — Trent Richardson is the best player in the SEC since Tim Tebow, and Tim Tebow is the best human being in the world since Jesus.

Clemson — I know a certain Mr. Jantz is the favorite No. 2 in this town, but my favorite college player right now is Clemson true freshman wide receiver Sammy Watkins.

Kansas State — Drinks are on Billy Boy at the Manhattan Bingo Hall after the game.

LSU — I have no desire to watch Kentucky football unless 6-foot-3-inch, 288-pound former Wildcats quarterback Jared Lorenzen has some eligibility left.

Jake Lovett, editor in chief (22-6)

Texas — If Steele Jantz pulls this one off, you’ll see his statue going up outside Jack Trice Stadium within the week.

Wisconsin — Camp Randall Stadium will be loud enough, Taylor Martinez won’t be able to hear Bo Pelini’s yelling.

Arkansas — These two could soon rule the SEC. You know, when ‘Bama and LSU stop being, well, ‘Bama and LSU.

Alabama — This will be Gainsville’s darkest day A.T. (After Tim).

Virginia Tech — Beamer’s club is too tough in Blacksburg. Tigers aren’t ready for two straight big wins.

Baylor — Bill Snyder is old enough to be RG3’s greatgreat-great grandfather.

LSU — This is my upset spec ... Haha. Did you see that? I couldn’t even say it. No, but seriously, not even close.

Austen Arnaud, Guest Pick of the Week

Iowa State — Tough environment for young QBs from UT, especially against a tough ISU defense.

Whatever teams runs the ball better is the factor.

Wisconsin — Another shame on ABC for having this “Game of the Week” (LSU vs. WVU), Wisconsin has its way with a suspect Nebraska defense.

Texas A&M — A&M will establish the run early and often. Aggies will make the Hogs squeal Suuhh-WEEE.

Alabama — This game will be an old-school SEC defensive football game; tougher team in the trenches wins. Roll Tide.

Virginia Tech — First true road test for Clemson.

It’ll be a close one, but Tech wins. Beamer Ball (special teams) will be the difference.

Baylor — K-State will slow down RG3, but Baylor has too much offensive power in this conference opener.

No place I HATE more than the Little Apple.

LSU — Kentucky’s loss at home against UF was a bloodbath. Now they play LSU and next week South Carolina ... good luck. Is it basketball season yet?

>>LATTIMER.p2 himself, so it’s pretty cool.”

Lattimer’s story of success has been rooted in his time as a junior college transfer, having to change positions to eventually step his way into a starting role at Iowa State after a big performance in one of the program’s most iconic victories.

In the first start of his Division I career, Lattimer recorded seven total tackles — two of which were sacks for a cumulative loss of five yards, two of which were tackles for loss for a cumulative loss of 10 yards — and one forced fumble in the Cyclones’ 28-21 victory against Texas last season, the first ever in program history.

“I was really amped up, excited to have my first start of my Division I college career,”

Lattimer said. “I play hard as I can every play, give it all effort until I’m completely drained and have to sub out.”

The effort given by Lattimer against the Longhorns caught the attention of many, as he went on to be named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

The 6-foot-3-inch, 247-pound defensive end hopes to emulate his effort against the Longhorns this time around, as Iowa State (3-0) hosts No. 17 Texas (3-0) at Jack Trice Stadium at 6 p.m. this Saturday.

Lattimer went on to start the Cyclones’ four remaining games last season after the win against Texas, compiling 39 total tackles and 6.5 tackles for loss. He also led the team in sacks with four, making him a convincing choice to begin the 2011 season as a starter at de-

fensive end.

“He’s one of those mad men out there,” said junior linebacker Jake Knott. “He’s going to go out there and he’s going to give it everything every single game.”

After transferring to Iowa State from Hutchinson Community College in Hutchinson, Kan., Lattimer eventually transitioned from his familiar position of strongside linebacker to defensive end as part of a mutual agreement between him and the ISU coaching staff at the beginning of spring practice last season.

“A few games into [last] season, I was still kind of iffy about it,” Lattimer said of playing defensive end. “After about the third game, I was really comfortable and I was way

more comfortable with a three-point stance than I was before.”

Becoming one of the leaders of the ISU defense was also met with trouble for Lattimer, though.

Last March, Lattimer was arrested and charged with one count of assault of a peace officer and one count of interference of official acts in Campustown, which led to an indefinite suspension from the team.

“We are looked at differently compared to the general public,” Lattimer said of being a leader on the football team. “Everyone makes mistakes, and I could wish and wish and go back to that day and take it back, but I can’t.”

Lattimer was reinstated in time for fall training camp in August, assuming his starting spot at defensive end in time for the Cyclones’ season-opening 20-19 victory over Northern Iowa on Sept. 3.

Through three games this season, Lattimer

is tied for the second-most total tackles among defensive linemen on the team with 12 — eight of which are solo tackles — with 0.5 tackles for loss and two pass breakups.

However, Lattimer said he is frustrated with his play so far.

“Your worst critic is yourself, I think,” Lattimer said. “The reason why I’m frustrated is that I feel like I could be making more of an impact than I have been.

“But we’re doing great as a defense, so I shouldn’t be dwelling on how I’m not doing as good. As long as we’re doing great as a defense, then that’s all that matters.”

As for Saturday’s Big 12 opener against Texas, Lattimer will try to shake his frustration with a repeat performance against a hungry UT team.

“If there’s a guy who can’t control him, he’s going to be making big plays,” Knott said of Lattimer. “Hopefully that happens this year, but he’s going to give us 100 percent and I think he could have another really big game for us.”

Editorial

Texas game could be biggest ever for Cyclones Three years and so far three signature wins for the ISU football team under third-year head coach Paul Rhoads. In 2009, it was an 9-7 win at Nebraska, last season a 28-21 road win at Texas and just 20 days ago a 44-41 triple-overtime win over in-state rival Iowa.

Putting aside the effect of how recent the Iowa win came, the most surprising of all three was the win against Texas in 2010.

The Cyclones (3-4) had been completely outplayed in the two weeks prior, a 68-27 home loss to Utah and a 52-0 shutout loss at Oklahoma. Texas (4-2) on the other hand entered the game following a rebound win at No. 5 Nebraska following losses to UCLA and Oklahoma.

Iowa State jumped out to a 28-6 lead and held off a late Texas comeback as players doused Rhoads in another YouTube sensation post-game celebration (See: 2009 win over Nebraska) and fans gathered at the Bergstrom Indoor Practice Facility awaiting the first ISU squad to beat Texas.

What followed for Texas was a 1-4 finish to the season, its first losing season since 1997 and no bowl invitation after a 13-1 season and national runners-up finish in 2009.

Did many people give the Cyclones a chance in Austin after being throttled by Utah and Oklahoma? Not many, if any. However, as the two teams prepare to square off this Saturday in Ames, Iowa State won’t be flying under the radar.

What was a game between a 3-4 and 4-2 team in 2010 will now be one of six matchups in college football this weekend that pits undefeated BCS conference opponents against each other as both teams are 3-0. Both teams are also coming off of bye weeks during which they were able to rest key injured players as they gear up for the Big 12 Conference schedule.

The Longhorns enter the game ranked as the No. 17 team in the nation, but the Cyclones are knocking on the door of a top 25 ranking.

Iowa State hasn’t been ranked since week four of the 2005 season, two weeks after beating No. 8 Iowa 23-3. That was the last time Iowa State beat a ranked team in Jack Trice Stadium, another accomplishment that lies ahead for the cardinal and gold on Saturday.

Coming into the season, hardly any — including us — prognosticators had Iowa State undefeated going into Texas. But now, 4-0 isn’t far out of the realm of possibility.

The last time Iowa State started a season 4-0? The 2000 season in which the Cyclones went 9-3 (5-3 Big 12) and finished third in the Big 12 North behind only No. 9 Kansas State, 11-3 (6-2 Big 12) and No. 8 Nebraska, 10-2 (6-2 Big 12).

Not to over-hype, but this very well could be one of the biggest games ever for the ISU football program.

According to a news release from the ISU athletic department, the game Saturday is a sellout, which marks the third in a row at Jack Trice Stadium, something that’s never been done before. The department also said the three-game attendance record will likely be shattered, the previous best being approximately 154,000.

They anticipate that number hitting 166,000 after the Texas game.

On top of that, the Cyclones could legitimize their 3-0 start and quiet, at least for a time, many critics and people who couldn’t ever consider Iowa State as being in Texas’ league.

Even Texas didn’t have much respect for Iowa State before last year. In all, 24 players on the roster from the state of Texas, and 131 total, weren’t recruited by Texas in any fashion. If last year was a “look at us now” game for those players, then this year could be the exclamation point at the end of that sentence.

Excitement surrounding this team has not been higher in quite some time. If Iowa State beats Texas on Saturday, you’ll see a bigger party than any Veishea has ever seen.

Committee names Larsons 2011 Cyclone Family of Year

By Katherine.Klingseis @iowastatedaily.com The Larson family of Newton has been named the Cyclone Family of the Year.

“I’m very humbled by the award,” David Larson said.

David attended Iowa State as an undergraduate student and earned his doctorate in veterinary medicine in 1977.

“I’m grateful for what Iowa State has done for me,” he said.

David and his wife Diane have three daughters, all of whom attended Iowa State.

“My daughters were brought up that Iowa State was the place to go,” David said.

“They understand where my wife’s and my loyalties are.”

David and Diane’s daughters are, from oldest to youngest: Carrie, Stephanie and Angie. At Iowa State, Carrie earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in accounting. Stephanie and Angie are both current ISU students. Stephanie is a fourth year student in veterinary medicine, and Angie is a first year graduate student in food science.

“We grew up around Iowa State. Our parents were such avid fans,” Angie said. “I always wanted to go to Iowa State.”

Angie said she and Stephanie had applied for the Cyclone Family of the Year award in the past and had not been chosen to receive it. She said they decided to apply for the award because of their family’s loyalty to the Cyclones.

“We felt that we were such huge Cyclones fans and it was such a huge part of our lives,” Angie said. “We felt that we always have been around Iowa State and we were deserving of the award.”

Angie said that, in order to apply for the award, each family must write an essay and go to an interview. This year, Angie and Stephanie decided to go to the interview together.

“My sister and I were comfortable since we had such common ground with the interviewers,” Angie said. “We just of kind of had some random conversations about Iowa State, like from the 90s.”

In late April, the week before her graduation, Angie was notified that her family would be the 2011 Cyclone Family of the Year, she said.

“I was surprised and excited and honored to be picked out of all the families,” Angie said.

Photo courtesy of Angie Larson The Larsons have been named the 2011 Cyclone Family of the Year. In front, Eric James, Diane Larson and David Larson. In back, Carrie James, Angie Larson and Steph Larson.

Angie explained that she only told her sisters, not her parents, about receiving the award.

David said he didn’t know that his daughters applied for the award until his family received it. He said his daughters presented the award to him and his wife when their family was at Aunt Maudes celebrating Angie’s graduation.

“We were giving Angie all her graduation presents, and they handed one to Diane and myself,” David said.

The present was an ISU picture frame with a certificate announcing the Larson family as the 2011 Cyclone Family of the Year, David said.

“It took about 30 seconds to sink in for what it meant,” David said. “I knew it was a big deal. I was like, ‘Is this for real?’”

During family weekend, the Larson family intends to travel to Ames and spend time with extended family, Angie said. She said her family will also be announced as the Cyclone Family of the Year at halftime of the Iowa State - Texas football game.

In addition to attending family weekend events, David also has a fraternity reunion, he said.

“A bunch of old friends are flying in,” David said. “It’s going to be fun, a lot of fun.”

The ‘Best-Ever Potato Salad’

By Lauren Ingebrand AmesEats Flavors Writer Mayonnaise salads make great tailgating side dishes. They are easy to make ahead of time and will travel well in a sealed container. Emma Grinde, junior in culinary science, described one of her favorites. “I'm not the world's biggest fan of potato

salad, but my great aunt Roxie's potato salad is something special,” she said.

“When I asked my great aunt for the recipe, she told me it is more of a method than a recipe, not giving measurements but just recalling the ingredients,” she said.

Grinde’s aunt keeps her recipe simple and doesn’t clutter the

recipe with complicated ingredients. Just some chives and a little salt and pepper is all the potatoes need. Even without mustard, the potato salad has a “beautiful pale yellow color,” Grinde said.

Thanks to Grinde this recipe has been decoded and recorded, so now we can all enjoy the “BestEver Potato Salad.”
