Paul iterates call to end U.S.-Libyan conflict

UI moves to simplify recycling

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential-nomination hopeful Ron Paul said on Sunday the apparent overthrow of Muammar Qaddafi’s regime in Libya does not justify U.S. involvement there and may end up delivering Al Qaeda what he called “another prize.”

The Texas congressman has made his mark in the Republican race as a strict libertarian who would scale back the role of the federal government in domestic and foreign affairs. A recent Gallup poll shows him in third place in the GOP race for the presidency.

Asked on “Fox News Sunday” whether getting rid of Qaddafi was a good thing, Paul conceded that it was but added that Qaddafi’s departure did not mean the long-term result would be good for the United States. He said that getting rid of Saddam Hussein was also good, but that the long-term result in Iraq has not been a success for the U.S. “We’ve delivered Iraq to the Iranians,” he said.

Paul said troops are required to ensure order in Libya and that no one knows who the rebels in Libya represent.

“We have no idea of what’s going to come out of Libya. I’m very skeptical,” he said.

The Advisory Board advises the City Council, and it will be the Board of Directors, members of which may be on the Advisory Board, that make such decisions. The DI regrets the error.

The University of Iowa will paying 5 cents a pound to Waste Management this year, compared with 7 cents last year.

One toss in a tote will soon be all it takes for University of Iowa community members to recycle.

Starting Thursday, the UI officials will implement a new recycling system to help reach their goal of a 60 percent diversion from the landfill by 2020, as part of their Vision 2020 project.

“The new recycling system integrates a user-friendly process,” said Dave Jackson, the

assistant to the associate vice president for Facilities Management.

Contracting with Waste Management, the UI will implement a single-stream recycling system. Unlike the current system, in which students, staff, and faculty must sort their waste materials into separate containers, the new recycling system will allow all material to be placed into one container, Jackson said.

Dockside recycle roll-offs and other CityCarton-provided containers will vanish from campus and be replaced with eight yard containers or a combination of 96- and 64-gallon

tote units.

In addition, labeled recycling containers will be found in all university buildings. Because some materials are nonrecyclable and decomposable, only specific items will be accepted.

Styrofoam and glass will not be accepted, Jackson said.

Student-organized ECO Hawk will assist in the launch of the program.

Not filling the landfill At the President’s Block Party on Aug. 21, sustainability efforts were made to save material from the landfill. All the materials distributed for students to eat on were either recyclable or compostable. Students were required to place their waste in separate bins for recycling, composting, and garbage.

Paper plates and napkins as well as the leftover food entered the compostable bin, and the soy plastic forks were placed in the recycling bin. The recyclable and compostable materials were weighed to document the amount of waste generated. With the help of volunteers and cooperation of students, almost 90 percent of the waste generated was prevented from entering the landfill.

Switching from Guard to UI The UI freshman gained 30 college credits from the National Guard.

By LUCY TRANKINA lucy-trankina@uiowa.edu

As Mike Considine sat in a tank top and sunglasses, calmly peeling an orange at the Bread Garden Market and talking about the past year of his life, it’s not readily apparent where the University of Iowa freshman was one year ago.

The 19-year-old spent his last year enduring basic training camp in the National Guard.

The Sioux City native joined the base in his hometown when he was a senior in high school. Only 60 to 70 high-school students a year are accepted into the program.

After being accepted, he decided to take a year off between high school and college. He spent August 2010 to April 2011 at basic training in Texas.

But though he wasn’t in classes, he said, he learned discipline and earned college credit.

His commanding officer, Col. Stephanie Lt. Samenus, said Considine several displayed admirable qualities.

“Mike always does his best,” she said. “He always volunteers for everything.

He is very responsible.”

After devoting a year of his life to serving in the armed forces, Considine decided to start

college at the UI. College life and the National Guard may seem different, but Considine said the two lifestyles overlap more than many would think.

Ultimately, the expectations are the same.

“You’re always expected to succeed,” he said. “You don’t think you can go as far until you try.”

He said being both a college student and being in the armed forces are excellent learning experiences.

Both environments “push you down and then build you back up,” he said.

He also said that working both alone and with others are important skills people learn in school and in the military.

It’s essential to take care of yourself, he said, but you also have to learn how to contribute to society — bal-

Fellow Air National Guard member Jacob Christiansen said he also knows what it’s like to switch gears and attend college after being part of the Guard. Christiansen said he thinks Considine will fare well in school.

Though he may pull a few all-nighters for classes, Considine said, lack of sleep is unavoidable in both lifestyles. He said he learned to fill his day with as much as possible, whether that be classes or drill routines. And the time commitment is worth it, he said.

“When you find something you want to do with the rest of your life, it’s hard [to be in school],” he said. “Class is at the back of your mind.”

For all the similarities between his time in the military and his time on campus, Considine said, he’s noticed several differences between the classroom and base camp.

After dealing with drill sergeants, he said, “professors are less intimidating,” Therefore, at least for now, college is a bit calmer, he said, and there is more down time between classes and on the weekends.

He joked that he hasn’t yet had to revert to his old tactic to relieve stress while in the National Guard — folding T-shirts.

Considine has around 30 credits from his time in the military, and he is studying business. However, he plans to go back to the military, hoping to be a pilot after graduation.

Man faces contraband charge A local man was charged with possession of contraband after he allegedly snuck marijuana into the jail via his underwear.

Wesley Turner, 23, 1601 Aber Ave. Apt. 8, was charged Aug. 25 with possession of a controlled substance, controlled-substance violation, and possession of contraband in a correctional facility.

Turner was transported to jail and in the midst of processing, officers found approximately six bags of marijuana hidden in his underwear, reports said.

Obama seeks American unity WASHINGTON — President Obama is calling on Americans to rekindle the spirit of unity that characterized the response to the 9/11 attacks. “It can be a lasting virtue,” he said. “Not just on one day, but every day.”

The president made his appeal during his weekly radio and Internet address, two weeks before the 10th anniversary of the Qaeda plot that turned commercial jetliners into deadly weapons in New York, Pennsylvania, and northern Virginia.

Obama plans to observe the anniversary on 9/11 with stops at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan, where the World Trade Center towers fell, at Shanksville, Pa., where one of the commandeered planes crashed, and at the Pentagon, which was also hit by a hijacked jetliner.

But he cast his plea for good will against the backdrop of the economic challenges facing the country today. Coming in the aftermath of bitter partisan fights over government spending and tough criticism of his administration by Republican presidential-nomination candidates, his remarks were an overt call for greater cooperation.

“Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness, is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11,” he said.

Trading volume was light, a sign that many traders were leaving New York ahead of Hurricane Irene. The storm reached the region late on Aug. 27. A spokesman for the New York Stock Exchange said trading is should open as usual today.

Bernanke announced no new economic-stimulus measures during his speech at a conference in Jackson Hole, Wyo., as some investors had hoped. He did leave open the possibility of more action if another recession looks likely.

Goodnight, Irene NEW YORK — Stripped of hurricane rank, Tropical Storm Irene spent the last of its fury Sunday, leaving treacherous flooding and millions without power — but an unfazed New York and relief that it was nothing like the nightmare authorities feared.

Slowly, the East Coast surveyed the damage — up to $7 billion by one private estimate. The center of Irene crossed into Canada late Sunday, but for many, the danger had not passed.

Rivers and creeks turned into raging torrents tumbling with tree limbs and parts of buildings in northern New England and upstate New York. Flooding was widespread in Vermont, and hundreds of people were told to leave the capital, Montpelier, which could get flooded twice: once by Irene and once by a utility trying to save an overwhelmed dam.

Meanwhile, the nation’s most populous region looked to a new week and the arduous process of getting back to normal.

UI bids paper ‘farewell’ The political-science department no longer prints syllabi.

By ALEX CORDERO alex-cordero@uiowa.edu

In an effort to increase sustainability throughout the University of Iowa, departments in the school are beginning to expand paper policies put into place over the past six years.

As of this year, the Political Science Department has become a “paperless department,” placing the syllabi for classes online as opposed to printing out a copy for each student, giving the student the option to print.

“I believe all of the departments in our university are making the effort to move toward paperless and sustainable practices, some at a faster pace than others,” said UI Director of Sustainability Liz Christiansen.

In addition to posting syllabi online, the department has placed all hiring applications online.

“One thing we are doing this year is moving the hiring process for our department through the electronic systems of Human Resources,” said William Reisinger, a UI professor of political science and the director of undergraduate studies.

“Candidates from outside the university seeking employment will now submit all of their résumés and references through the electronic system to be reviewed.”

From 2005 to 2009, the purchase of paper by the UI has dropped nearly 57 percent because of additional adjustments such as moving the university catalogue exclusively

Paperless alternatives Some of the electronic alternatives adopted include: • Hiring through electronic applications • Putting class readings on ICON • Placing syllabi online • Online student records Source: Liz Christiansen, UI director of Sustainability

online. Previously, a booklet was printed for each incoming student.

“Paper is the most common purchase for universities, and reducing the amount that we consume is not only beneficial from the standpoint of sustainability but from an economic standpoint as well,” Christiansen said.

Although the changes have benefited the UI economically and environmentally and have increased efficiency, not all students are thrilled by the changes.

“I think it’s great that the university is going paperless and trying to be more conscious of the

resources it’s using, but the less paper it uses, the more money it costs me to print,” said UI freshman Kate Wolz.

The suggested alternative to students bringing their own printer also proves to be a costly solution for UI students.

“I brought a printer for my dorm, but the costs of buying ink and paper are even worse than having to pay the 5 cents per page to print in the computer lab,” Wolz said.

With the money that has been saved because of the decreased necessity for paper, the UI has used to further fund electronic alternatives.

“It’s an efficiency effort as well, it’s not just the aspects of time, customer service, and the environment, but it also increases productivity and allows business to move faster and easier online,” Christiansen said. “The funds saved that have been saved through reducing paper purchases has allowed us to strengthen the computer systems and electronic alternatives that have taken the place of paper.”

Reformed UI recycling is substantial, beneficial For those who see recycling as an inconvenience, you just ran out of an excuse. Recycling is about to get a whole lot easier at the University of Iowa.

On Thursday, the UI will implement a singlestream recycling system in which students will no longer have to separate recyclables. Instead, students will be permitted to place all recycled materials into one convenient container.

While the DI Editorial Board has consistently lauded sustainable efforts on and around campus, we see these latest changes being made to the recycling system as some of the best moves the university has made in regards to recycling in recent memory. This is an earnest approach that further simplifies the recycling process for students, faculty, and staff. In doing so, this movement will be a good incentive in encouraging students to recycle more frequently, because it almost effortless. In addition, we commend ECO Hawk and its latest efforts and hope that it will help us work to meet our sustainability goals for 2020.

Liz Christiansen, the director of UI Sustainability, believes that the latest recycling system will help motivate students to recycle more, because it no longer requires the same level of sorting recycled materials needed previously.

“I think that single-stream recycling offers the opportunity for us to capture more materials,” said Christiansen. “We think people will be recycling more.”

Currently, the UI’s goal is to achieve a 60 percent diversion rate by 2020 in order to meet its sustainability target, meaning the goal is to divert 60 percent of waste from traditional waste facilities or incineration to recycling plants or other reuse initiatives.

In order for this to happen, the UI will need to double its current rates. “We think these changes will help us achieve that goal,” Christiansen told the Editorial Board.

Desire Christensen, the vice president of ECO Hawk, appeared very optimistic about the 2020 sustainability target as well.

“I believe we will exceed our goal of 60 percent

waste diversion from the landfill,” she said.

The traditional antagonist to recycling efforts at the UI has been, and will continue to be, apathetic college students — a demographic that can have trouble keeping in mind what is due in class the next day, let alone how current actions will affect the environment of our future leaders. This is where this reformation succeeds the most, by making recycling increasingly effortless. By improving the infrastructure of the recycling process, the university is making it inconvenient not to recycle.

Unfortunately, that same climate of convenience does not currently exist in Iowa City residences. This is why local eco-activists cannot be content with this admittedly dramatic improvement. There is a lot more work to be done.

However, Christensen believes the new contract with Waste Management will have positive, far-reaching effects in our area. “Many opportunities have opened up for ECO Hawk to educate the UI community through this partnership. Our interactions with the Waste Management team have been engaging, and we have been able to bounce a lot of ideas back and forth,” she told The Daily Iowan.

And according to recycling-revolution.com, college campuses that make a collective effort can make a difference on the environment when recycling properly.

For instance, just one year of recycling at Stanford University had the ability to save “the equivalent of 33,913 trees and the need for 636 tons of iron, ore, coal, and limestone.”

Other schools, such as Drake University, have implemented the new system, and Kirkwood Community College plans to do so in September.

This new system should be viewed as somewhat of a prototype, to be applied in public areas, buildings, and residences. The benefits will ultimately be unprecedented.

Because hey — it doesn’t get much easier than this.

Your turn. Will the new recycling system have a substantial impact?

Don’t publicize biases, please I was taken aback when reading Adam B Sullivan’s “guest” opinion, “Taking Tips from President Rudy Giuliani.” First, because of the clearly loose definition The Daily Iowan holds as a “guest” opinion. Can an editor-in-chief really be a “guest” of the publication he or she edits? But I digress.

I was most surprised at the admission of your editor-inchief donating to and caucusing for Rudy Giuliani. Surprised

because, last I checked, student reporters at the DI are strongly discouraged from even listing political affiliations on their Facebook pages. Why, then, should the editor-in-chief promote his political affiliations, past or present, in his paper? I appreciate the DI’s efforts to report this election season to the very best of your abilities, but please refrain from reporting your political biases in the future.

Bar-scene dress codes are racist I have read about, learned about, and have had the “rules against” racism embedded in me since I first went to preschool and was taught that my first black friend, Carrington, was completely equal to me.

And yet, as a 20-year-old, tonight, I saw racism firsthand in downtown Iowa City, and it forced me to look into the bar scene’s ugly, racist rules.

My personal experience tonight was very obvious racism — my boyfriend and I entered the Union without problem but

watched the black man behind us get shut out because of “dress code” issues (my boyfriend was wearing the same thing as him: a shallow V-neck and jeans.) However, I tonight I learned that much of the time, racism is discreet.

As I lamented the hatred I just witnessed, I began to assess the basic Iowa City bar scene’s dress code, and I quickly realized that this dress code was actually a race code. “No jerseys, white T-shirts, or straight-bill hats,” seems a bit parallel to “No black culture.”

DO YOU THINK THE CY-HAWK TROPHY SHOULD BE CHANGED?

Read today’s column, and e-mail us at: daily.iowan.letters@gmail.com.

Iowa Corn went way too far MATT HEINZE matthew.heinze@gmail.com

Mere weeks from now, Iowa and Iowa State will meet on the gridiron to battle it out in this year’s installment of the CyHawk Series. Thankfully, they won’t end up playing for a Precious Moments trinket.

Last week, the Iowa Corn Growers Association announced it would overhaul its newly released abomination of a Cy-Hawk Trophy, garnering intense criticism and allowing Iowans the opportunity to vote on the replacement design in the process. And although the majority of the nation probably doesn’t care a lick about the trophy, many Iowans do.

For those who don’t know, the Cy-Hawk Trophy is an award given annually, more or less, to the University of Iowa for dominating whatever incoming freshmen Iowa State found stupid enough to put pads on and march onto a football field.

The trophy had long been criticized for being outdated and overly simplistic, so the decision was made to field a replacement.

The story of the trophy has since managed to become something of urban legend in the span of only a few short weeks. After years of sponsoring the oftannual sporting event, Hy-Vee relinquished sponsorship of the big game, opting to move on to the greater potential of the IowaNebraska series. Seeing an opportunity, the Iowa Corn Growers Association picked up sponsorship and in the process, seemingly commandeered every aspect of the design process.

The initial replacement design stands as a wonderful example of what not to do when fabricating a trophy.

The design, at least in concept, serves to accurately refer to our state’s significant contributions to agricultural production by depicting a young farmer showing a bushel of corn to his family.

Unfortunately, the design captures an unpleasant equilibrium of “wholesome” family values and direct advertisement.

So it should come as no surprise the trophy received intense criticism by hordes of Iowans, in addition to making our state the laughing stock of the rest of the nation.

Sportswriters across the nation ate it up, often considering the trophy the ugliest in all of college sports. In fact, the trophy was so ugly that both Gov. Terry Branstad and Iowa football great Hayden Fry chimed in to note how ridiculous it was.

Now listen, Iowa Corn Growers Association: I don’t mind you trying to promote yourselves with a sense of subtlety, but please don’t suck the fun out of my favorite sport. Sponsorships in college football (as well as in most other college sports) have been gutting tradition for years, and it’s really starting to wear on me. While I understand there’s money and fame to be had, there’s also a sense of tradition, history, and sincerity to be retained.

Officials from both the University of Iowa and Iowa State University have repeatedly asserted that the final release of the new Cy-Hawk Trophy was not the result of Iowa Corn exerting too much influence on the design process. To believe their assertions, however, would be utterly narrow-minded.

As far as I’m concerned, there’s a sense of hallowedness still present in college football, which is what makes it so darn appealing. Yes, I realize there are shady things going on behind the scenes (see Ohio State, USC, Miami, Auburn, etc.) and yes, I see corporate America’s fingerprints all over the BCS structure, but with tremendous effort, I can still see past those sore spots.

With Iowa Corn’s new Cy-Hawk Trophy, though, it’s different.

The presence of such a blatant advertisement serves to undermine the pageantry of college football, along with any sense of tradition.

A trophy may not be the penultimate decider in a rivalry’s worth, but it’s certainly a worthy stand-in for the rivalry’s symbol. In the case of the Cy-Hawk Trophy, it’s also a stand-in for the state of corporate sponsorship in college sports.

It would appear the sanctity was spared, at least for now.

Column

Life in the weird end of the pool DEAN TREFTZ dean.treftz@gmail.com

With summer ending, it is once again time for the nation to start remembering that Iowa exists even when our rivers aren’t swamping our cornfields, VFWs, and tractor pulls.

That’s right — it’s caucus time! Like the Olympics, it has already been four years, and there’s something you have to pay attention to even though we’d all really rather talk about

Ronnie finally jacking Mike on “The ’Shore” last night.

Except this year’s isn’t the usual crop of six or seven Evan Bayhs (who?) and one or two slightly less-boring dudes who actually have a chance. No sir, this year we’ve got some downright fascinating characters.

You see, our grandparents seem to think our current president is going around replacing every Norman Rockwell painting with Maoist posters of tractors or something, so they decided to take the opportunity to freak the F out.

This has allowed the current Republican field to become flat-out nutty.

That’s where we come in. We have tons of creative, interesting people with too much time on their hands here in Iowa City. If folks are going to be going around the state proclaiming the laws of physics, biology, and economics null and void, we have to get in on this shit.

Folks, there’s no way around it; we have an obligation to ourselves to get weird on these mofos. One of the best moments of the 2007-08 caucus cycle was UI Associate Professor Kembrew McLeod dressing up like a robot and demanding Bill Clinton apologize to Sista Souljah.

Here are a few ideas

to start: • Gov. Rick Perry, who seems to have decided to take whatever George W. Bush was smoking and inject it into his femoral artery every morning, very well may have allowed an innocent man named Cameron Todd Willingham to be executed and then fired most of the subsequent investigation panel right before it could announce its findings. We need to get a dozen people in Cameron Todd Willingham masks and T-shirts saying things like, “We’ll just have to agree to disagree” and “I think I looked guilty, too” to show up at a Perry rally.

• Rep. Michele Bachmann is, among other things, married to a Christian counselor who practices gay-conversion therapy. What better welcoming committee than a drag show in which all the queens are wearing sequined straitjackets and singing to the dance remixes of “Doctor, Doctor” and “Patsy Cline’s Crazy?”

• Mitt Romney, the frontrunner-in-hiding, is relatively normal. His biggest quirk is that he seems to only be afraid of himself, which is either an accurate reading of the quality of his opponents or a surprisingly deep statement on the human condition. Specifically, he is terrified of himself circa 2006

when he signed a bill remarkably similar to “Obamacare” in Massachusetts. We need to dress a bunch of bros up in Red Sox gear, get them to learn Southie accents, and have them no-homo-closed-fist hug Romney during an event while saying stuff like “Brah, you saved mah cousin Tawmy from a wicked medical bahnkruptcy.” Make sure to watch carefully on this one, because you will never again see a man run so fast in a suit and tie.

These are just so-so starters. You creative types get working on this, and we can really have some fun with these guys. Beats thinking about them as potential presidents.

“Iowa has a strong community-college system,” said Joe Hand, Loebsack’s communications director.

“And the act would help in educating and preparing individuals for more manufacturing jobs.”

Chris Schwartz of Working Families Win spoke about the importance of creating jobs, stressing the necessity for job creation through infrastructure planning.

“I don’t know what to tell these students who are tens of thousands of dollars in debt, graduate with their master’s to work in Starbuck’s,” Schwartz said. “We need a really aggressive infrastructure plan which puts people directly into jobs.”

gressman’s No. 1 priority and putting a big focus on manufacturing jobs, as well as closing tax loopholes that allow corporations to move overseas with no consequences, was a way to help foster job creation.

“This is about jobs,” Loebsack said. “The 2010 election was about jobs, and not enough has been done.”

However, he said, the investment should be made in the private sector instead of the “failed public sector.”

“Stimulus programs that dump money into government versus stimulating the private sector would be a continued failure,” Anderson said.

Joyce Hermanstorfer, an Alliance for Retired Americans regional board member, and fellow affiliate Norm Sterzenbach of the Linn County Democrats said the meeting was an opportunity to get more community members engaged and informed about legislative decisions and the possible cuts affecting older community members in the wake of deliberations with the supercommittee.

Congress’ supercommittee is designed to make cuts in federal spending in hopes to alleviate some of the national debt.

DES MOINES — In the first Iowa multi-candidate event since the Ames Straw Poll earlier this month, Texas Gov. Rick Perry stole the show Aug. 27 at the Polk County Republican Picnic.

Perry made a grand entrance to country music before about 380 people at Jalapeño Pete’s Cantina at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

He later captured the attention of both the audience and the media as he shook hands, took pictures, and made himself available to the media during Michigan U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter’s speech.

“It is time for change,” Perry said on his second visit to Iowa since throwing his hat into the Republican presidential-nomination contest Aug. 13. “And I’m not talking about the rhetoric of change, I’m talking about the record of change.

And I’ve got that record.”

Perry, who has emerged as the front-runner in the race to become the Republican nominee for president, rattled off statistics about Iowa that he said shows President Obama has worsened the economy. He said one in eight Iowans are on food stamps. He also said Iowa has lost 12,100 jobs since Obama’s stimulus package was approved in February 2009.

“That is a testament to

In contrast, Perry touted that Texas, where he serves as governor, is responsible for 40 percent of all jobs created in America since June 2009. He said Texas created 1 million jobs since he became governor in December 2000, while the rest of the country lost 2.5 million jobs.

The Aug. 27 event was also Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul’s first return to Iowa after a strong second-place finish at the Aug. 13 Ames Straw Poll.

Paul portrayed Perry as another “establishment” candidate who has actually helped his poll numbers.

“It hasn’t been a negative for us,” Paul said about Perry’s entrance into the race two weeks ago. “All the other candidates, I believe, represent much more of the status quo. And I want to change things. I want to change our foreign policy, bring our troops home, talk about changing the Federal Reserve, and making our dollar backed by gold.”

Paul stuck to his campaign themes at the Aug. 27 event. He said he’ll keep touting his message of freedom, free markets, personal liberty, and less government.

“I don’t have to change my message,” he said. “My message stays the same, but the country is changing. The country becomes more ready for what I’ve been saying. It all becomes more appropriate because the country keeps getting in worse shape.”

Stressing visibility Radio host may enter council race

By KRISTEN EAST kristen-east@uiowa.edu

With the University of Iowa Executive Council of Graduate and Professional Students still only a few years old, President Kelli Todd and Vice President Michael Appel said the group’s visibility is of high importance. “[The Executive Council] is ay o u n g organization,” Todd said. “We are in the Todd era where president it is known around campus and with the administration, but it’s not k n o w n within our Appel own con- vice president stituents.

So we’re trying to expand our p r e s e n c e, our visibility.”

With plans to continue last year’s lobbying efforts, the Executive Council and UI Student Government will be visible in both Des Moines and Washington, D.C., this school year. Both groups plan to make many trips to Des Moines and to attend the Hawkeye Caucus in Washington in October, Appel said.

UISG Vice President Brittany Caplin said the incentive behind traveling to Washington is to “show how great Iowa is.”

“It’s going to be a great opportunity,” she said. “[Lawmakers] are already in their element.”

Todd has the same view as Caplin, emphasizing the importance of UI officials maintaining connections with elected officials.

“We have strong ties

with a handful of [elected officials], and we want to continue that and build upon that because every year there are different challenges, and we want to make sure that we address that with our friends at the Capitol,” she said.

Only four or five people from UISG are expected to attend the Hawkeye Caucus in October, while anyone who is willing may attend the state Board of Regents Day in the spring.

Both events allow groups such as UISG and the Executive Council to show lawmakers how the university provides great resources for the entire state, Caplin said.

With plans for the Hawkeye Caucus still in the beginning stages, Appel was unable to comment on the specific budget for the trip.

“The budget is still undetermined,” he said.

“It depends on who comes.”

If only Executive Council executives attend, the funds for the trip will be taken solely from its budget. Only executive members are expected to

attend, Appel said.

Todd said this year’s full budget is still being determined.

Besides lobbying in Des Moines and Washington, the group plans to make itself more visible through two marketing campaigns, Appel said. Those campaigns include publicizing its general services and helping students receive grants.

Officers will maintain the organization’s Facebook and Twitter accounts as well as creating a new website to keep students informed. “[The current] website was originated when the organization originated, so when you look back, it doesn’t reflect who we are today,” Todd said. “We felt it was very important to redesign and recraft our website so that it reflects who we are and whom we represent.”

Its new website, which the Executive Council is planning to launch in several weeks with the help of IMU Marketing and Design, will feature three or four students on the homepage each week to highlight student accomplishments.

Todd and Appel stressed that the Executive Council’s main focus is assisting graduate and professional students.

“We hope in their reaction that they want to become involved,” Todd said. “It’s up to them to really push where they want to see this organization to go. It’s up to our member governments and our constituents to determine how they would like the Executive Council to be leaders in what capacities and in what ways.”

Steve Soboroff

Making students and others in the Iowa City community feel more welcome is the focus of one potential candidate for the Iowa City City Council.Steve Soboroff, the host and owner of KCJJ radio, said he intends to file for an official candidacy, once he is sure he has the “necessary signatures.”

“People have to feel welcomed, and people have to want to be welcomed,” he said.

He said his focus would be on the whole community, not just the downtown. He also wants to see change in property taxes, which he calls “the easy way out.”

“You gotta have a city that opens its arms to business,” he said.

Another area of focus for Soboroff is improving the Southeast Side, where, he said, he feels crime is not sufficiently addressed. He feels housing laws need to be more strictly enforced and considers the police substation in the southeastern part of the city to be ineffective. Soboroff said numerous residences have been broken into in the past month, and he is dissatisfied with the level of police involvement after the break-ins.

City Councilor Connie Champion, said the Southeast Side has improved thanks to increased Crime Stopper participation, as well as the police substation, and the implementation of a curfew.

If he officially files as a candidate, Soboroff will be the sixth candidate to run for City Council: • Before buying KCJJ, he worked for 20 years on KFMH in Rapid City, S.D. • Is both the owner and program director at KCJJ. • Is referred to as “Captain Steve” while on the air.

Source: Steve Soboroff

“I think we’re addressing the crime situation in the Southeast Side of town,” she said. “I think people are learning that if you do things over there, you’re going to be found out.”

University of Iowa Professor Emeritus Jim Throgmorton, who served on the council in the ’90s, announced his candidacy for a councilor position in June, and he has also included the demographic shift on the Southeast Side among his top issues along with affordable housing.

“We’re lucky to be living in a lovely city, Throgmorton told The Daily Iowan in June. “But we will face some significant challenges over the coming years. I believe my combination of experience, knowledge, skills, and vision can help us respond in a way that enables us to make it an even better place.”

Supporters of Soboroff ’s candidacy were present on the UI campus on Aug. 26, collecting signatures from students eligible to vote.

UI freshman Kevin Cronin was one student to

sign Soboroff ’s petition, though he said he wasn’t given a background on Soboroff before signing.

“It seemed innocent enough to me,” Cronin said.

“Looks like there’s some political plans, some political campaigning going on.”

Soboroff currently hosts local 1630 AM radio station KCJJ, which he describes as an “entertainment show more than anything else.”

Lyombe Eko, a UI associate professor journalism and mass communication, said Soboroff’s intention to run for the council while being a radio host was a “conflict of interest” and a calculated risk.

“Legally speaking, there is nothing that can prevent him [from running],” Eko said. “… Generally, the airwaves belong to the public.

If he is using the airwaves to advance his political career, he should allow equal time to other candidates. Once he gets into a race, the fact that he owns a radio station will be a matter of public interest.”

Eko said if Soboroff does not provide equal representation of the other candidates, he runs the risk of people complaining to the FCC, which could result in a loss of license for his radio station when his license is up for renewal.

So far, five other candidates are running for the council, whom Soboroff feels are “removed from what’s really going on.”

“I think there’s a constant fight between what this community is and what they want it to be,” he said.

ARIES March 21-April 19 Don’t take a back seat when you should be engaging in worthwhile conversations that allow you to promote one of your ideas. Reworking an old goal to better suit the economic climate will draw attention that you couldn’t drum up in the past.

Professional gains are apparent.

TAURUS April 20-May 20 Say little; do a lot. The busier you are with work and accomplishing your goals, the better. Not everyone will agree with you, but if you focus on what’s important, you will make substantial gains. Love is in the stars.

GEMINI May 21-June 20 You may be in the mood to explore new avenues, but before you travel down a path that may also lead to unforeseen trouble, do your research. A problem with children or your lover is likely to distract you.

CANCER June 21-July 22 Say what is on your mind, and clear the air before someone gets the wrong impression. Romance is highlighted, and the opportunity to meet new people is present if you participate in an event you believe in.

LEO July 23-Aug. 22 Look to expand a business prospect or to apply for a new position. Opportunities are available, but if you are looking to start at the top, you may end up disappointed. You can get ahead, but you have to prove your potential.

VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 You can learn a lot if you observe what others do and say. There is room for change, and with the right combination of hard work and detail, you will make a good impression on someone who can influence your future.

LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Do what you can to stabilize your financial position. A third party may put a damper on your plans by referring to the price or authenticity of something you are considering buying or selling. Leave enough room to make last-minute changes to a deal.

We cover every Hawkeye sport Get sports alerts straight to your phone

PENN STATE CONTINUED FROM 12 tice, spending the last seven games of the year coaching from the press box. And last season, he spent more time in the press box while battling a yearlong intestinal illness.

But Paterno had apparently recovered, and he said at Big Ten media days in July that he was the healthiest he’d been in two years.

The collision with Smith in practice may have changed that, but Paterno remained optimistic. He said he “absolutely” will coach from the sidelines at the Nittany Lions’ season opener.

“Physically, I feel great outside of that,” Paterno told reporters from a golf cart. “In about eight or nine days, I should be able to do everything without having some guy driving me around.”

Their coach’s health isn’t the only concern facing Penn State this season, though.

The team must replace running back Evan Royster, the program’s alltime leading rusher, and guard Stefen Wisniewski.

Penn State recorded just 17 sacks last season and has no proven defensive ends.

But the biggest issue facing the team is an unsettled quarterback situation.

Rob Bolden started the team’s season-opener last year as a true freshman.

But following a concussion, Bolden was benched in favor of Matt McGloin.

Then a junior, McGloin

Iowa cornerback Micah Hyde and former safety Brett Greenwood tackle Penn State wide receiver Justin Brown on Sept. 2, 2010, in Kinnick Stadium. Iowa has beaten the Nittany Lions in each of the last three years. (The Daily Iowan/File Photo) played well early on but struggled down the stretch and threw five interceptions in a 37-24 loss to Florida in the Outback Bowl.

After the season, Bolden asked to be released from his scholarship and allowed to transfer. Paterno refused. The team enters the 2011 season with both quarterbacks, plus redshirt freshman Paul Jones, competing for the starting job.

Senior receiver Derek Moye said he hopes to see the competition settled soon.

“I’d definitely like to have the same quarterback for

the whole season,” Moye said at Penn State’s media day. “But at the same time, the coaches are going to do what puts the team i n t h e b e s t p o s i t i o n .”

Paterno took the blame for the team’s disappointing 7-6 campaign in 2010, but he said he is hopeful for the upcoming season.

“I think we have a chance to have some people who can play well,” he said at Big Ten media day. “I don’t think we played very well last year. I don’t think I did a very good job coaching last year. I’ve got to do a better job.

“Everybody’s got to do a better job.”

IOWA 6, WESTERN ILLINOIS 1

Soccer wallops W. Illinois Sophomore Leah DeMoss had two early goals as Iowa rolls to victory over the Leathernecks.

By BEN WOLFSON benjamin-wolfson@uiowa.edu

Prior to Iowa’s game against Western Illinois on Aug. 26, coach Ron Rainey described the matchup as an “early season test” for his squad.

Rainey was able to get the best effort from his Hawkeyes, and they controlled possession for much of the first half of a 6-1 win.

The Leathernecks barely had the ball in Iowa’s half for the first 45 minutes, and it showed on the scoreboard as Iowa (3-0-0) managed four goals in that time.

Sophomore Leah DeMoss scored her first two goals of the season in the third and

N. Carolina knocks off field-hockey Hawks The No. 23 Iowa field-hockey team lost to No. 2 North Carolina, 2-0, on Sunday in Ann Arbor, Mich. The loss dropped the Hawkeyes to 1-1 for the season.

North Carolina, last season’s NCAA runner-up, scored five minutes into the game for an early 10 advantage.

Iowa was never able to recover, and the Tar Heels added another goal in the 67th minute.

“We played well,” head coach Tracey Griesbaum said in a release. “Our game plan was followed in both halves. North

13th minutes, and she nearly had a third score later.

“We’re coming off a bad weekend [versus Southeast Missouri State on Aug. 21], and Coach came up to us today and said, ‘Let’s prove them wrong,’ ” DeMoss said. “I had that fire and energy in me and wanted to prove to [the Leathernecks] that we’re better than them.”

Senior Morgan Showalter said the DeMoss quick start midfielder was a key to success for Iowa.

“We just came out … wanting to prove we’re playing at a higher level now than we have been,” she said. “It didn’t take us long to get into a rhythm, and we put them away a little faster than we anticipated.”

Rainey had changed the practice schedule leading up to the game with Western Illinois (1-1-0) so that his practices were shorter

but had a more intense and focused effort.

Up four goals at halftime, Showalter said the team stressed not allowing a score and maintaining its focus in the second half — something Iowa had struggled with in its previous games.

After the Leathernecks scored in the 48th minute, Iowa’s defense regrouped and didn’t allow another score.

“To us on the back line, it was kind of upsetting that we let one in like that,” Showalter said. “I think we responded well, played a little more like we did in the first half, and put it away from there.”

With a comfortable lead against Western Illinois, Rainey didn’t hesitate to get his bench players some playing time.

Sophomore Katie Nasenbenny came on and had an immediate effect, scoring her third goal of the season, tying her with freshman Cloe Lacasse for the team lead.

Rainey also was able to get his two young goalkeepers playing time after taking out senior Emily Moran after the first half.

Freshmen Caitlin Schnorbach and Kiley Beck split time in goal during the second half.

The blowout victory was encouraging to the team as it prepares to travel to Washington, D.C., to play George Washington on Friday and American University on Sept. 4.

“I like how the team played; we were able to get a lot of people minutes,” Rainey said. “We keep talking about [scoring] goals that will score against anybody we play against, and those [tonight] were definitely like that.

“We challenged [the Hawkeyes] to be more focused than they were last Sunday, and I think they responded well to that.”

Carolina has strength in every line, and we did a good job of staying in the play.”

The Hawkeyes finished off this year’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge with a 1-1 record after defeating No. 11 Wake Forest, 32, on Aug. 27.

Iowa will play its home-opener on Friday at Grant Field against Kent State. The game will begin at 5 p.m., and Griesbaum said the Hawkeyes’ participation in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge will serve as excellent preparation for the match.

“Our forward and backfield lines played really well this weekend,” she said. “We will need to keep an attacking mentality in order to be successful next weekend.”

D-LINE CONTINUED FROM 12 line … if you don’t, you leave them out to dry.”

Aside from the veteran pair, senior defensive end LeBron Daniel is the only projected starter who has received significant playing time. Senior Thomas

Nardo, sophomore Dominic Alvis, and redshirt freshman Carl Davis — all competing for the remaining tackle spot — have a combined 10 games played between them.

Additionally, true freshman Darian Cooper, a highly recruited tackle out of DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, Md.), is expected to have an opportunity to play.

Sports “[Binns and Daniels] look like the two most experienced guys,” head coach Kirk Ferentz said after Iowa’s open practice on Aug. 13. “After that, we have a bunch of guys who are working hard. Some good competition there, so we’ll just see how it goes …

We’ll probably play six to eight guys. Cooper might be in the mix; he’s done some good things [in fall camp].”

VOLLEYBALL CONTINUED FROM 12 However, Lovell and Yanny did make some “freshman mistakes,” but they were ones that can be easily fixed.

“They like to bang a lot,” sophomore setter Nikki Dailey said. “They don’t really like to test out the other side’s defense with tipping shots; they just like to hit it hard. In high school, you can get away with that — just bang, bang, bang — but in college, you have to work on your shots. But … when they had one-on-one, it was a kill every time.”

The freshmen also had to tackle their nerves, which they seemed to accomplish with the support of their teammates.

“Obviously, there was a lot of pressure, and it was kind of intimidating, but I feel like I put myself in a position to make more plays [against Marquette] than I did earlier,” Yanny said. “I definitely know what I need to work on now. I will keep working on those things in practice and pounding that into my head so that when I am in a stressful situation during a game,it will just come naturally.”

Sophomore Nikki Dailey rises for a kill against St. Louis in the Hawkeye Challenge on Aug. 27 in Carver-Hawkeye. Dailey had 38 assists in the 3-2 loss to the Billikens. (The Daily Iowan/Adam Wesley) Overall, the Hawkeyes s a i d t h e y a r e p l e a s ed with how much the freshmen improved over the weekend. The team witnessed its youngest members make d ra s t i c ch a n g e s i n co n fi d e nc e and skill over the three games.

“We got better with every match,” Dingman said. “[Against Central Michigan] — boy, that was just as ugly as a volleyball match as one could possibly watch. Then [against St. Louis], we saw glimpses of what we think this team can be.”

Make no mistake, though: Daniels will be the one to anchor the group, Ferentz noted.

Linebacker James Morris agreed.

“Fierce would be a good word to describe Mike,” the sophomore said. “He’s a fun guy to play with. The energy he brings, I think that has an effect on everybody else on our defense.”

Similar to his predecessors, Daniels will likely get

dailyiowan.com for more sports his opportunity in the professional ranks. Heading into the Hawkeyes’ seasonopener this Saturday, the NFL draft is far from his mind, however.

“I’m just trying to do the right thing all the time,” he said. “The [defensive line] will come together. Our team is as good as it wants to be.”

THE DAILY IOWAN MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 2011

Daniels anchors D-Line Amid the uncertainty surrounding the defensive line, tackle Mike Daniels has developed into Iowa’s most consistent pass-rusher.

Continued questions about coach Joe Paterno’s health and an unsettled quarterback situation are among the challenges facing Penn State.

By MATT COZZI matthew-cozzi@uiowa.edu

Mike Daniels had never been listed on Iowa’s two-deeps prior to last season.

The Blackwood, N.J., native was in the defensive-line rotation, but it was rare to find his name in the box score.

But under the tutelage of current NFL rookies Adrian Clayborn and Karl Klug, among others, Daniels emerged as a consistent pass-rush threat in 2010.

The senior defensive lineman recorded 40 tackles — including 11 for a loss — and had four quarterback sacks last season, and he is poised to lead the Hawkeyes’ defensive line this year.

Defensive end Broderick Binns, who was in the same recruiting class as Daniels, said he wasn’t surprised by his teammate’s breakout season.

“Mike’s a beast. He works hard [and] gives 110 percent every down,” Binns said at Iowa’s media day on Aug. 5. “I think he’s a guy who I thrive off and the whole team can thrive off.

He’s out here, excited, gets everyone else going.

“It’s good to have a guy like him on your team.”

With the departure of Clayborn and Klug, Binns and Daniels are now the veterans.

Daniels said he understands he’ll have to step into a leadership role, both on the gridiron and off it.

“You just have to be honest with people, because if you’re not, they can’t be honest with themselves,” he said. “I’m not the first guy in the program who’s done that, but it’s learned behavior. The older guys taught me to speak up and put people in

Penn State seeks to bounce back

As he enters his 46th season as Penn State’s head football coach, Joe Paterno insists he feels fine.

With one small catch.

“I feel great, except I’m in a lot of pain,” he told reporters at the team’s media day on Aug. 16.

Nine days earlier, while Paterno was taking notes at practice, Nittany Lion receiver Devon Smith accidentally leveled the 84year old coach while running a route.

Paterno spent two nights in Mount Nittany Medical Center with arm and hip injuries — but not before standing up and finishing practice.

Smith said he was amazed at his coach’s toughness.

Paterno “I think he’s a great head coach coach, a tough coach,” the 157-pound receiver told PennLive.com. “Somebody who’s his age, who can take a hit like that and come back on the field — that’s a tough coach.”

The injury was just the latest incident in what has been a painful last five years for Paterno. In 2006, he cracked three ribs when he was run over in practice by a Nittany Lion tight end. The same year, Paterno broke his left leg and damaged a knee ligament when a Wisconsin linebacker ran into him on the sidelines at Camp Randall Stadium. He missed the final two games of that season.

In 2008, Paterno injured his hip attempting to demonstrate an onside kick in prac-

Hawkeyes a ‘shoein’ for recruit For the latest Hawkeye football recruit, it’s gotta be the shoes.

Ruben Lile used a creative method on Aug. 27 to declare his college choice. The Detroit native donned a pair of custom cleats in Tech Cass High’s season-opener that read Lile “ F u t u r e recruit Hawkeye.”

Lile, a 6-3, 200-pounder, is listed as a three-star athlete and the 10th-best recruit in the state of Michigan by Rivals. He plays defensive back and wide receiver for the Technicians, and he

recorded 46 catches for 460 yards and four touchdowns — along with 42 tackles and two interceptions — as a junior in 2010.

“Ruben puts his size to good use, catches the ball with his hands and at its highest point, and shows a very good vertical, timing, and anticipation,” MaxPreps.com’s Tom Lemming wrote. “He also has the speed to run with the swiftest of defenders, does a great job of putting his body between the ball and the defender, and can create after the catch.”

His prep teammate, linebacker Laron Taylor, committed to Iowa earlier this month.

Lile also received offers from Purdue and Wisconsin, among other schools.

Challenge in the seasonopener.

Iowa defeated Central Michigan, 3-2, on Aug. 24 ,but fell to St. Louis, 3-2, and Marquette, 3-1, on Aug. 25. The Hawkeyes walked away from the tournament with a 1-2 record.

Lovell tallied 23 kills in three games. She hit a team-leading 14 kills against Central Michigan,

including the match-winning kill to defeat the Chippewas.

Yanny gathered 19 kills over the weekend.

Despite the early success from the Hawkeyes’ newest outside hitters, the rookies have big expectations to fill. Head coach Sharon Dingman said she was “very pleased” with their performance,but also said she needs to see improvement.

“Alex did some really nice things, and there’s a lot [she] has to learn,” Dingman said. “She did some really good things for us — obviously, getting that match-point kill. I said to [assistant coach Ben Boldt], ‘Well, Alex is going to eventually develop into our go-to player — let’s see if she has it now.’ ” SEE VOLLEYBALL, 10
