The UI receives monthly reports on the numbers of citations and arrests.

Officials keep openrecord details secret University of Iowa officials won’t say what they withheld from a recent public-records request, a move not covered by the state’s open records law.

The university recently filled a Daily Iowan request for more than 1,000 emails to and from UI Vice President for Student Life Tom Rocklin. Officials say some documents were withheld to protect educational and personnel information; however, they won’t say which documents were withheld or even how many. Mary Kenyon, a public-releations specialist for the University News Service, didn’t cite any statute or court ruling in support of withholding the number of withheld documents.

A representative at the Iowa Ombudsman’s Office said state code doesn’t directly address whether public entities can keep information about withheld documents private. However, the attorney general advises publicrecords custodians to explain why records are withheld.

“Openness is the rule, and confidentiality is the exception,” Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller wrote in a bulletin. “Public officials and employees may keep records confidential only if authorized by law. If access is refused, people may ask for an explanation, and officials would be well-advised to explain the legal authority that makes a public record confidential.”

CORRECTION In the Oct. 5 story “City Council discusses animal-control operations,” by Asmaa Elkeurti, the DI incorrectly reported that 38 percent of animals in Iowa City’s animal shelter facility were from within Iowa City; 38 percent of animals in the shelter are from outside Iowa City. The DI regrets the error.

with the Rally to End the War in Afghanistan at 4:30 p.m. Friday. Protesters will then march to College Green park at 6 p.m.

One of the group’s main concerns was how quickly they would act. With Friday being the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan, most people who attended the meeting agreed it would be in their best interest to act sooner rather than later.

Fraternities and sororities may soon face consequences for alcohol-related citations and arrests.

University of Iowa Vice President for Student Life Tom Rocklin said he hopes to bring the proportion of alcohol-related arrests and citations among Greek-community members in line with the proportion for the rest of the student body.

If the new policy implemented, Rocklin said, chapters who do not meet this goal could face a loss of social privileges. Chapters that consistently fail to comply could be discontinued.

Rocklin said these new efforts are the result of discussions with the greek community the past few years.

“Many of the leaders of the community have embraced the goal and are eager to meet it now,” Rocklin said. “We want to have a greek community that’s safe and successful so in the unlikely event we had a chapter that couldn’t achieve that kind of compliance, we’d have to discuss whether it belongs on our campus.”

Rocklin said the sanctions would probably stem from the first semester, in which a chapter is considered “out of compliance” and social privileges would be removed if they remained this way for four semesters.

Kelly Jo Karnes, an associate director of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, is also involved in the potential policy changes. She said the UI hopes to hold chapters accountable for their members, noting that the change will be

The University of Iowa has not pulled any food from its dining halls, despite a number of recent produce recalls nationwide.

The first Iowa case of cantaloupe-linked listeriosis — a bacterial infection caused by listeria that can lead to fever, nausea and muscle aches — was reported Wednesday, according to a press release.

The UI has a specific procedure in place in the event that its distributors report contaminated products.

“The first thing we do is to check with our suppliers,” said Gregory Black, the UI director of residential dining. “Then we go from there. If there is some danger, we certainly react to it immediately.

[Our suppliers] are in contact with the growers and manufactures

themselves.”

Black said the UI has not received any information from its vender, Martin Bros. Distributing Co. Inc. in Cedar Falls, of issues with the food it serves in the dining halls.

The UI is continuing to serve all regularly scheduled products, including lettuce and cantaloupes.

However, Iowa State University was affected by the recall.

“We did have three cases of cantaloupe that were part of the cantaloupe recall,” Brittney Rugherford, marketing and communication manager for ISU dining, wrote in an e-mail. “This was disposed of immediately… We were able to get cantaloupe that wasn’t affected by the recall, and we were able to keep cantaloupe on the menu as planned.”

ISU also receives information from distributors about any

“I would always try to put on a little more than my mom said I could,” she said.

But it wasn’t until her junior year of high school that Heller became more passionate and serious about it. She began watching YouTube tutorials and experimenting with her own makeup. Finally, after she received a new eyeshadow palette from Urban Decay, Heller decided to create her own tutorials.

“Now I go back and watch it, and it’s horrible,” Heller said.

She refined her technique since that first video and now knows how to create a comfortable atmosphere between her and her viewers.

“You have to be personable … You have to act like someone’s actually there that you’re talking to, and it helps if you can try to add a little humor into your videos, too,” Heller said.

Trevor Polk, a friend of Heller’s since third grade, said she has long had the personable disposition that

makes her videos appealing.

“I would describe Aubrey as open to make friends, determined in her ideas, and she goes with the flow,” he said. “She’s a spunky little monkey.”

Heller describes her beauty style as crazy and eclectic, saying that she never does the same thing more than once. Most of the looks that she creates tutorials for are ones that she had never attempted before she sat down in front of her camera.

Two of her favorites are the recreation of Emma Watson’s Vogue cover look and a tutorial featuring purple lipstick.

“I like the ones that I do where I realize afterward that this is something that a lot of people needed to see instead of just a video that I felt like making that everyone else has seen like a million times,” she said.

The products Heller uses in her tutorials come from both the high and low end of the price spectrum, which makes them more accessible to a wide audience, she said.

Aubrey Heller has yellow lips. At least she did for a moment before she grabbed a towel off of a stack of drawers filled to the brim with makeup products to wipe off the bright color.

She instead settled for a more natural lip color from the arsenal of tubes standing at attention on her vanity and topped the pinkish color with gloss. She then fluffed her blonde hair with its new choppy haircut and did a final mirror inspection of her peacock-like eyes created with shades of green, purple, blue, and black.

“There’s no such thing as too much makeup,” she said.

Heller is a University of Iowa sophomore and a YouTube beauty guru who creates makeup tutorial videos. She has 432 subscribers to her channel, and some of her videos have thousands of views. She also works as a makeup artist at a local cosmetics counter.

She also knows how to help people create a trendy look that flatters them personally.

“She’s really good with giving advice on how to go about it in a way that reflects the trend but also reflects you as a person,” said Mary Kate Knorr, Heller’s roommate.

Heller said she believes that everyone should try whatever makeup look she wants to, even if she thinks it might look bad.

“Nothing looks bad on you,” she said. “As long as you have the confidence to wear it, it’s going to look good on you.”

The defense filed a motion Monday to dismiss all charges in the Charles William Curtis Thompson homicide trial.

According to court documents, the defense is alleging the prosecution intended to provoke the mistrial, caused by the prosecution failing to remove portions of

a video interview shown to the jury.

Both parties previously agreed portions of the video would not be played.

Johnson County prosecutor Janet Lyness did not immediately return phone calls to *The Daily Iowan* Wednesday.

The defense also called KGAN News Director Scott Picken, whose news outlets recorded the trial, to testify and bring a copy of all video footage recorded in the courtroom, court documents said.

Thompson was charged in October 2009 in the shooting death of Broadway landlord John Versypt. His retrial is scheduled to begin Dec. 5.

A hearing on the motion to dismiss has been set for Oct. 20 at the Johnson County Courthouse.

The National Institute for Pharmaceutical Technology and Education consortium, which includes the University of Iowa and nine other institutions, has been awarded a five-year grant worth up to $35 million.

The grant comes from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; it aims to improve drug manufacturing standards, according to a press release.

The release said improvement of such drug-manufacturing standards could cut health-care costs, improve drug safety and create jobs.

difficult.

“It’s hard to create a culture shift, and that’s ultimately what we’re trying to do — change the behavior of our members,” she said.

“It may take a few chapters receiving a few sanctions to realize, ‘OK, we gotta make some changes.’ ” Karnes said the university wants to work with the chapters noting, “no one wants to see chapters move away.”

Tyler Anthony, who traveled from Waterloo to attend the event, agreed.

“It’s almost a strikewhile-the-iron-is-hot kind of thing,” he said.

The event is intended to follow the format of the protests against Wall Street, which started Sept.

17. The protesters have likened their movement to the Arab Spring or a Tea Party movement, but with a liberal slant. Protesters call themselves “the 99 percent,” with Wall Street and other large business corporations being the 1 percent.

Some protesters stressed that Iowa City feels the effects of large corporations.

recalls … I look at foodsafegynews.com—it tells you about foods they’re having issues with before the actual recall happens.”

While Ohio State did not have to pull any of the recently recalled products, Newton said, a romaine-lettuce recall roughly two years ago required the university to pull that produce.

Black said he could not recall any instances where the UI has pulled products.

Independent food-safety consultant Warren Gilbert said the specific batches of tainted foods can be tracked to be effectively pulled if need be.

“It’s usually very farmspecific,” he said. “We can trace a head of lettuce from the day that it’s picked all the way to the table.”

Gilbert advises immediately sending recalled items back to the manufacturer.

He also suggested consumers wash all products, regardless of recall status.

Listeriosis The first Iowa illness from listeriosis, a bacterial infection, was reported Wednesday.

cited,” she said.

Rocklin submitted his plan to the Interfraternity Council last week. The council, led by Austin Popham, is working on a proposal including the members’ suggestions and recommendations for the plan to be presented to Rocklin next week.

Popham said officials assembled an action committee a few years ago but didn’t implement its goals very well. Now, part of the new plan will include providing more nonalcoholic greek events at the Field House, Campus Recreation & Wellness Center, and the IMU. “It’s not really a matter of educating people,” Popham said. “It’s a matter of getting them away from those

high-risk situations.”

He also said the greek community is “on board for lowering the rates.”

“It’s not the greek community against Rocklin,” Popham said. “We want this

University of Iowa teaching assistant Michael Sears said corporatism is not just an urban or metropolitan issue, and Iowa residents are affected by large corporations.

“As a rural state, and because it is so vital to the electoral process, I think Iowa and Iowa City have every reason to support and stand in solidarity with the protesters who are occupying Wall Street,” Sears said.

The group hopes that students support and join the movement.

“It’s important to get undergraduates involved,” UI Student Government Chief of Staff Navi Bajwa said. “Once you get students involved, this is going to take off.”

Sears said college students should participate because this movement represents their future.

“Too many college students are being promised jobs that just simply don’t exist and likely never will under the current system,” he said. “College students are being saddled with student-loan debt that will unfortunately be with them for the rest of their lives.”

The October2011 Coalition in Washington, D.C. — which aims to bring attention to the same issues as the Occupy Wall Street Protests — also encourages college-age students to get involved. The movement, which kicks off today, will take place in Freedom Plaza.

Maria Allwine, a volunteer coordinator for the October2011 Coalition, commended the UI students and Iowa City citizens for joining the nationwide movements.

Editorial

New ISU president’s research policies should be heeded Mentioning Iowa State University on this campus is usually met with a jumble of hisses, moans, and often a self-deprecating jab concerning football. But with the recent selection of a new and innovative president, University of Iowa students and faculty should put the rivalry on hold and consider the value the future ISU president is proposing to create.

Steven Leath was recently chosen by the state Board of Regents to be the next president of ISU, succeeding Gregory Geoffroy, who announced his retirement in March is supposed to take office in February of next year.

Leath has fresh ideas regarding scientific research, and with it, an optimistic outlook of future private-sector opportunities in the volatile economy. During his tenure as University of North Carolina vice president for research and sponsored programs, Leah reduced investment restrictions while streamlining university research to private companies. These policies should be closely examined and implemented at the UI. The UI is nationally recognized as a premier research institution. It ranks 11th among public universities in grants provided by the National Institutes of Health. By facilitating communication between university researchers and the private sector, the UI could reduce its reliance on federal money and augment the quality of its research. More often than not, innovation leads to growth. The U.S. needs to start growing, and this state should do its part to push forward.

Leath headed the development of a project called REACH-NC, a portal for private and public sector researchers to share their expertise with students and allows for more fluid interaction between “real world” professionals and the efforts at the public university.

This program now has more than 12,000 members and includes faculty from Duke University and Wake Forest University, and was funded by external funds raised by Leath.

Before Heath took office, North Carolina investors were forced to wait six to 12 months for research to be privatized. Today, the school’s faculty can start companies within 30 days of their research.

In his acceptance speech, Leath was asked about his ability to raise funds so quickly, especially from outside sources not connected with the public sector. He stressed the need for an better interaction with both local individuals in the public and private sector, explaining that fundraising, “is not about asking for money, this is about relations.”

Having something of a budget crisis on its campus, UI could take a look at the way Leath raises funds and handles investments from both governmental and private funds, creating relationships between sister schools and formulating lasting bonds in the community. He looks at running a university like a corporation of learning, as contributors and parents invest in the education of Iowa’s students, which in turn is investing in Iowa’s future economic stability.

He also stresses open lines of communication between fiscal programs and patrons of education explaining, “Most of the tough decisions involved personnel or budget allocations, and because we’re in this world of limited resources, you can’t do all of the things you want to do and you can’t even fund all of the projects you want to fund. You have to make choices, and you have to deliver that message.”

In a speech given in Morrill Hall in Ames, Leath not only challenged ISU to become greater, he challenged the state of Iowa.

“When the students come to us and say we’re not nimble enough, we’re not forward-thinking enough, or we’re not instituting the new degree programs they want to make an employable future, then we need to react,” he said.

The universities of the state of Iowa can take a page out of the book of Leath and begin to foster more growth and force the community to invest more in students that make them unique. Maybe then our universities can take our rivalries off the field and into academic and economic success.

Your turn. Should the UI streamline research to private firms?

Support Hayek for City Council On Oct. 11 and again on Nov. 8, I will cast a vote for Iowa City Mayor Matt Hayek for Iowa City City Council.

He has shown strong leadership during his first-term on the council. From dealing with the aftermath of the 2008 floods to working on ways to improve economic development in Iowa City, he has shown that actions do speak louder than words. His experience will be an asset as the council deals with the future budget challenges facing Iowa City.

I believe that the traits embodied by Matt are unique and refreshing in a person of his stature. He is a person of sound judgment, humility, hard work and common sense. These characteristics complement his strong commitment to public service. Matt has proven to be a dedicated community leader that the people of Iowa City can be proud of.

Please join me in supporting Matt Hayek for another fouryear term on the Iowa City Council.

Mitch Meis Iowa City resident

Support Patel for City Council I support electing Raj Patel to the Iowa City City Council.

Patel has put in the time and energy necessary to be aware of the issues important to the Iowa City community. When I first met Raj, he was an 18-yearold student already committed to public service and interested in learning as much as he could about becoming a leader.

From reaching out to members of the community to serving as the council liaison for the University of Iowa Student

Government, he has taken a path that has given him knowledge of municipal services and an awareness of community issues that has sparked a desire to serve as a councilman. For the last few years, he has put in the time and energy in the community to make sure that if elected he would serve us well on the City Council.

Patel has the leadership, work ethic and judgment I look for in a civic leader. I ask you to join me in supporting his public service to our community.

It started with crowds surrounding a golden bull. On Sept.

17, protesters marched into parks and roadways near Wall Street, the seat of power in America’s financial sector, to fill the area in a movement called “Occupy Wall Street.”

One such area was Bowling Green Park, home of the famous golden “Charging Bull” statue that has come to symbolize the stock market and the banking industry.

Subsequent mistreatment by the police, a compelling narrative, and a message that is easy to identify with has caused the movement to gain traction nationally. UI students should try to get involved in Iowa City.

Unofficial organizational websites have been created that enable people who are interested in organizing in their area to “occupy” locally. One such site is Occupy Iowa City, which held its first assembly last Wednesday. This decentralized movement represents student interests better than any candidate.

That mainstream media figures are unable to identify the protesters’ message shows how disconnected they are from reality.

Glenn Greenwald’s analysis of the media’s attitudes toward the movement has been especially (and characteristically) perceptive.

In a recent column, Greenwald writes about the New York Times’ financial columnist, Andrew Sorkin, and Sorkin’s take on the events in Zuccotti Park. Greenwald noted that Sorkin failed to visit the protest until his friend, “the chief executive of a major bank,” called him to ask if the bankers should be worried for their safety. Sorkin then wrote a condescending piece about the protests, concluding they “weren’t a brutal group — at least not yet.” Sorkin’s column is just one among many attempting to frame the movement as a collection of lazy, unstable

youngsters whose angst stems from their sense of entitlement.

It is clear that the Occupy Together movement is much more than that. Their message is clear: They are protesting a culture that privileges a small percentage of wealthy Americans at the expense of the vast majority.

As President Obama begins to mobilize his behemoth campaign apparatus, many Iowa City residents who voted for Obama in 2008 will be receiving faux-personalized emails signed by the candidate asking them to donate and volunteer. Many of them may be on the fence for a while about whether to do so. Many of them may decide that while Organizing for America may be an effective and ground-breaking campaign organization, it has turned into a group composed mostly of members who are fighting toward very different goals than their candidate.

Obama swept into office on a wave of what seemed to be a national revival of progressive populism. The charismatic young senator from Illinois painted himself as the candidate that would fight for the exploited and subdue the oppressor.

The subsequent few years have been full of corporatism, higher costs of education, and a disdain for civil liberties that do little to distinguish Obama from his predecessor and have done nothing to empower the majority of Americans.

The problems our generation faces won’t be wholly solved by Barack Obama or any other mainstream politician. The greatest threat to our democracy now and into the future is corporate influence and income inequality. Most of the today’s media does a poor job of exposing policies supporting a plutocratic status quo for what they are, but robust public demonstrations enable citizens to voice their concerns and hold their government accountable.

Movements suchOccupy Iowa City are the best way for students to effect change on the institutions that are shaping their future.

Guest opinion

Prepare for changes in state Legislature During this week and next, the University of Iowa community will see organizers from the Campaign to Organize Graduate Students (COGS), the union for employed graduate students, meeting with graduate assistants about the state of affairs in Iowa.

COGS is Local 896 of the United Electrical, Radio, and Machine Workers of America, a national union run democratically by its rank and file members.

There’s never been a more important time to be a COGS member. The substantial gains we’ve won in our most recent contract, outlined below, are under attack by the Iowa Legislature. Last spring, the Iowa House of Representatives passed a bill that would

have decimated the abilities of public employee unions to bargain fair contracts (similar to the Wisconsin anti-union bills).

For example, it would have quadrupled the amount a single graduate assistant pays for health care by requiring all public employees to pay at least $100 per month in healthinsurance premiums, without regard to the fact that COGS, like many other Iowa unions, has bargained for our health insurance in exchange for other contract language.

This legislation failed in the Iowa Senate because of a two-vote Democratic majority. However, that majority is now in question pending the results of a Nov. 8 special election in

Marion to fill a Senate seat recently vacated by a Democrat. If the Democrats lose that seat, the Senate will be tied, putting in jeopardy a variety of progressive legislation in Iowa, from collective bargaining rights to marriage equality.

Whether you’re a graduate employee who can join COGS, a nurse who can join the Service Employees International Union, an administrative assistant who can join AFSCME, or a public-school teacher that can join the Iowa State Education Association, the solidarity of Iowa’s public employees to protect our rights has never been more necessary. If you believe that workers’ rights are human rights, regardless of whether or not you have a

union, join COGS and other community members on the Pedestrian Mall at 9 a.m. Friday as we rally to demand more quality jobs for Iowans.

In addition to engaging graduate employees in our political conversation, COGS organizers are excitedly discussing the fantastic contract we have with the university, which went into effect July 1 and will cover our bargaining unit for two years. In our negotiations last spring, we won 100 percent tuition scholarships at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences tuition rate (a 15-year battle), a 2 percent wage increase bringing the minimum half-time salary of graduate assistants to $16,908 this academic year,

and preserved our excellent health-insurance package.

This compensation and benefit package is wonderful for those of us on campus now, but it is also an important recruitment tool for attracting the most qualified future graduate students to the UI. COGS has been able to bargain this great contract through the strong support of our members in departments across campus.

Iowa is a “Right to Work” state. This means the employees that are covered by our contract have to decide whether or not to be a member of our organization. Only those who are members have a say over our priorities at the bargaining table and over voting on contract ratification.

It is because graduate employees must decide whether or not to be a union member that we engage in public organizing campaigns. Every year, we lose dozens of members to graduation, and while we’re proud they’ve been successful in their graduate studies, it is also important that we rebuild our membership so that we can ensure our continued success.

If you’re a graduate employee, please give our organizers a moment of your time and consider joining your member-run union.

Kari Thompson is president of COGS and a teaching assistant in the University of Iowa Department of Religious Studies.

LOVE, SEX, & RELATIONSHIPS

Delving into masturbation

By DEBBY HERBENICK Q: I am a young female without a sex partner, so I would like to know how to achieve my most intense orgasm during masturbation.

A: Masturbation is something that many women and men, whether single or in a relationship, enjoy as part of their sexual experiences. There are many ways to enjoy pleasurable masturbation experiences.

However, let’s start with why you want to have one.

I mention this only because I sometimes find that I meet people — especially women — who are masturbating and trying to have orgasms during masturbation only because they feel that they “should” or that it’s something that most women their age do.

In fact, some women and men never masturbate.

Other people masturbate at some points in their lives but not others. If you’re not particularly interested in masturbating, you might reassure yourself that you don’t have to in order to be normal or like other women.

If, on the other hand, you’re interested in masturbating and/or you enjoy it and would simply like to explore various ways to spruce it up, there are a number of ways to do this.

A key way to enhance your masturbation is to engage your mind. Try to think of something that you find sexy. This varies from person to person. For some people, it’s thinking about having sex with one

or more women. For others, it’s thinking about sex with one or more men. In the realm of sexual fantasies, anything is possible. You might fantasize about being dominant, submissive, stripping, engaging in oral sex, engaging in anal sex, dressing a certain way, having group sex, having sex with a stranger, kissing an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend, being sexual with someone you always wanted to, seeing a celebrity naked, and so on.

Other times, people engage their mind by watching porn. You can do these things alone or you can do them while masturbating with your hands and/or a vibrator. Keep in mind, too, that there are many ways to masturbate.

While some women predominantly stimulate their clitoris, others focus stimulation on their labia (vaginal lips). Some women stimulate their own breasts, perhaps with lubricant or lotion to make it feel more sensual. Other times, women stimulate the area around their anus, or they insert something inside their anus and rectum for stimulation.

Dr. Debby Herbenick is a sexualhealth educator at the Kinsey Institute, a research scientist at Indiana University, and the author of Because It Feels Good: A Woman’s Guide to Sexual Pleasure and Satisfaction, The I Love You More Book, and Read My Lips: A Complete Guide to the Vagina and Vulva.

Cookbook spices up run Ron Paul and family connect with voters through their stomachs

By ALLIE WRIGHT allie-wright@uiowa.edu

Ron Paul likes his wife’s recipe for peaches and chicken.

It’s an easy recipe. Simply cover chicken breasts in flour, salt, and pepper and brown them in butter and oil. Next, coat the chicken in orange juice, vinegar, brown sugar, basil, and nutmeg and bake for one hour. Last, place half of a peach in between each chicken breast and bake again for 15 minutes.

Through this recipe and hundreds of others, the family of the current Republican Iowa caucus hopeful has connected to voters across the country in a nontraditional way.

Carol Paul wanted to find a way to make her large family relatable to voters.

She wanted to come up with an idea that would connect herself and her husband of more than 50 years to the American public without involving talk of foreign policy, the economy, or the death penalty.

Carol Paul is the creative mind behind perhaps the most unique — and tasty — grass-roots campaign effort in years.

At first, Ron Paul was skeptical about the cookbook as a campaign tactic, but she persuaded him it would be a good idea, she said.

“We thought people will get a [campaign] card, and look at it, and throw it away,” said Carol Paul, who lives in Lake Jackson, Texas. “But someone would

have a little harder time throwing away an 11- or 12page cookbook.”

The Ron Paul Family Cookbook was first published in 1996, the 75-yearold said, when her husband decided to run for Congress after a more than decadelong hiatus. Carol Paul said she hopes to release the newest edition around Thanksgiving.

The cookbook consists of family recipes, photos, Bible verses, and a foreword from her titled “The American Dream,” in which she talks about how she and Ron Paul grew up and shares other family stories.

“The recipes include things you have on your shelves and things that always work,” she said.

“When [people] cook things, they didn’t have to worry, you know, if [the recipes] would work.”

Initially, the family only planned one cookbook, but as a result of lots of public interest, they’ve published 11.

“It’s been very successful,” Carol Paul said. “It’s a non-political way of letting people know about our family. It’s all there in black and white.”

The Paul family gathers for huge family dinners – Ron and Carol Paul have five children, 18 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren – as much as possible and the recipes are ones the family often eats together. “[The cookbook] is just something to let the people know that we're real people just like they are and we have to cook every day,” she said.

Carol Paul collects the recipes from her family and puts them together for each cookbook.

Ron and Carol Paul’s sister-in-law has also been very involved with the fam-

ily project.

“I love to cook and was delighted when [Carol] asked me to help,” said Donna G. Paul, who lives in Avinger, Texas.

Donna G. Paul said she has submitted approximately 12 recipes over the years, three of which – Quick Company Carrots, Easy Carrot Cake, and Simple Salad — appear in the 2007-2008 edition of the Ron Paul Family Cookbook.

Donna G. Paul, who calls herself the “original Ron Paul groupie,” met the physician in 1968 when he came to work at the practice where she was a nurse.

Eventually, Donna G. Paul said, the current presidential candidate bought the practice.

“He got stuck with me as his nurse,” the 67-year-old said. “I helped deliver lots of those 4,000 babies [that Ron Paul reportedly delivered].”

Donna G. Paul worked with Ron Paul for 12 years, she said, and during that time, she met his brother, Wayne Paul. The two were married in 1982.

Donna G. Paul said the Paul’s are a “very close fam-

ily” and relatives also help out Ron Paul on the campaign trail.

But family members aren’t the only ones who submit recipes for the cookbooks.

“In 2007, I had a pacemaker put in [in Des Moines], and the nurse who took care of me sent a recipe,” Carol Paul said.

“People get interested in [the cookbooks.]”

Although the cookbook is a hit within the family, Democratic Party officials said they are skeptical about the campaign “gimmick.”

“Is [a cookbook] going to sustain him once he gets into office?” said Terry Dahms, the chairman of the Johnson County Democrats.

Dahms said he is uncertain of the effectiveness of more personal campaign strategies and said he sees them as an act of desperation on behalf of the candidate.

“I think voters see through that,” he said. “I think more people relate to a how a politician speaks and what he says and how he says it.”

For Yale Cohn, Public Access Television is a channel dedicated to the Iowa City community but not enough use it as a local resource.

Cohn hopes to change that.

“PATV has a lot of opportunities for the community to learn about filmmaking, editing, and even provides an access to starting their own television program if they have the creative intent,”he said Cohn, an associate member of PATV’s Board of Directors and a serving member on PATV’s outreach committee, is one of the members helping to organize the film contest titled I Love Iowa City Film Contest, which encourages local filmmakers to make a short film of varying genres about Iowa City and submit it to the contest.

Cohn said the success of the organization’s screening events during the Iowa City’s Summer of the Arts festival inspired him to arrange a filmmaking contest.

The contest has been in the planning stages for roughly two months,he said,and PATV officials are beginning to reach out to local businesses for underwriting and sponsorship.

The deadline for submissions were initially set for Oct. 3, but because of a lack of submissions, that -has been extended to Oct.22.

Cohn said PATV had expected to be swamped with submissions, and officials had thought they would need more time to screen submissions and make decisions about winning entries. So far, PATV has received around a dozen submissions, and officials hope to receive more in the coming weeks.

PATV is also partnering with a local venue to hold the screening.

‘I love Iowa City’ film contest PATV is organizing a filmmaking contest to promote community involvement.

Details: • Deadline for submissions: Oct. 22 • Date of event: Nov. 6 • Venue: Mill, 120 E. Burlington • Submission fee: $5 • Entry fee: None/Free Source: Yale Cohn, associate member of PATV Board of Directors-

Andre Perry, the executive director of the Englert Theatre, 221 E. Washington St., helped PATV secure the Mill, 120 E. Burlington St.,as the venue for the event. Perry also handles event bookings for the Mill.

Filmmakers must pay a $5 submission fee to participate, which Cohn said covers handling, processing, and screening the submissions as well as added pay for PATV staff who will contribute extra time and effort to the contest.

John Richard, a local filmmaker and photographer and the owner of Bocce Ball Multimedia Studio,is one participant who said he heard about the contest on Facebook.

“I am excited to see what people come up with, and I hope people will find more creative ways to describe why they like Iowa City in a short film,” he said. Richard’s film is a conversation between two people that he was able to film and edit his submission in a single afternoon. He used a digital SLR camera to make it look more professional.

The event is open and free to the public,and it will showcase participating and winning movies at the Mill at 6 p.m.

on spot.

That kind of rejection is “something that Nardo carries with him,” Nielsen said.

“He has a chip on his shoulder. That’s kind of the mentality and attitude he plays with,” Nielsen said. “He came in here and busted his ass for four years, and he’s finally getting a shot to get out there and prove himself on the field. He’s done a great job.”

It’s clear after only a few moments that Nardo isn’t one to broadcast the chippiness that Nielsen spoke about so passionately. He comes off as soft-spoken and succinct. He sticks to the company lines.

“I’m just trying to help the team and work my hardest,” he said after the Monroe game.

But when asked if any players mentored him earlier in his career, he’s more outspoken. Nardo immediately mentions Karl Klug, who is now with the Tennessee Titans after graduating last year.

Lynx poised for WNBA title MINNEAPOLIS — Seimone Augustus, her left knee sore and looking exhausted from an allaround effort, lifted the Minnesota Lynx to the brink of their first WNBA title.

She’s not ready to relax just yet. There’s still some work to do.

Augustus scored 36 points to lead Minnesota’s second-half surge, and the Lynx beat the Atlanta Dream, 101-95, in Game 2 of the league championship series on Wednesday night.

“The legacy isn’t complete until you’re holding the trophy,” Augustus said.

Jessica Adair added 13 points in 18 minutes in a reserve role for the Lynx, who took a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-five matchup by overcoming 38 points by the Dream’s Angel McCoughtry, who broke her own record for a WNBA finals game set last year.

Game 3 is set for Friday night in Atlanta.

McCoughtry had 24 points in the first half, but she shot just 2for-13 after halftime and shook her head in disgust afterward at what the Dream complained was an unfair discrepancy — 33-23, Atlanta — in the foul calls by officials Sue Blauch, Lamont Simpson and Kurt Walker.

“Let us battle out. Let us scratch and claw to the end. It’s entertainment. That’s what people want to see,” McCoughtry said, a scowl on her face.

Coach Marynell Meadors was just as outspoken.

“I just really don’t understand a lot of the things being called,” she said.

With veteran center Taj McWilliams-Franklin on the bench with a sprained right knee suffered late in the third quarter, WNBA Rookie of the Year Maya Moore sitting for most of the game in foul trouble and fellow All-Star Rebekkah Brunson having a quiet game, Augustus took over.

their volleyball skills under control, they’re now trying to get the whole team’s performance up to par by helping the underclassmen focus.

“Doing well and accomplishing your job doesn’t necessarily mean you’re benefiting the team the most you can,” Husz said.

“Being a leader is your ability to help all of those around you. Volleyball is a team sport, so we need leaders rather than statistical excellence.”

The Hawkeyes are now tied with Indiana for last place in the Big Ten. Husz said she feels responsible for some of that, despite

tallying 15 kills in the last three games.

“I don’t attribute playing well unless the team wins,” Husz said. “A leader has to take responsibility for [a team’s failure]. If we lose, that means there was something that I didn’t do to help the team and I should have done more.”

Husz said she’s going to focus more on using every opportunity she can to help the young Hawkeye team grow.

“I remember there was one time when Alex Lovell was struggling a little bit in practice,” Husz said. “I just looked at her and took a deep breath. She did it

“They haven’t had those experiences.”

Over the first three tournaments this fall, Iowa’s average stroke difference between its lowest

scoring round and the third round is 15 strokes.

And it’s not as if one bad round has created a slanted average; the difference in the first tournament

was 12 strokes, the second 19, and the third 14.

Whatever the cause, the team is aware this trend needs to be reversed if improved tournament fin-

ishes are going to occur.

“Maybe there’s this attitude of trying a little too hard on the last day trying to win, and I don’t think that leads to good scores,”

Brant said. “I think if we can just play relaxed and have as much fun in the third round as the first two rounds, it will lead to better success.”

to work hard, like he always did,” Nardo said.

Nardo apparently succeeded at it. Teammates gush when asked about him, and fellow senior lineman Mike Daniels specifically likened him to Klug for his similarly quiet, yet diligent approach.

“He’s quiet,” senior corner Shaun Prater said.

“But the way he plays, he’s so loud.”

With glowing reviews of Nardo’s tenacity in practice, one might wonder what took him so long to emerge.

Never mind his initial walk-on status; there were

good defensive linemen in front of him, including NFL draft picks Klug, Adrian Clayborn, and Christian Ballard.

“It’s a little tougher to break into the lineup,” Ferentz said. “But that being said, even in August it wasn’t obvious to us that he was a starter —

otherwise we would have started him in that first game. It’s a real tribute to Tom, his work ethic, his perseverance. And once he got the opportunity, his performance has been really good.”

Despite Iowa volleyball’s 0-4 Big Ten record, seniors Mallory Husz and Megan Eskew have done well.

But having the seniors play well isn’t enough.

Iowa lost, 3-0, to Michigan on Sept.

30 and by the same score to Michigan State on Oct. 1. The two seniors tallied 33 kills in those games — more than 62 percent of the entire team’s total.

Volleyball, soccer to go ‘pink’ The Iowa volleyball and soccer teams will hold their annual “pink” matches this weekend in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

In addition, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics’ Holden Cancer Center. Admission is $3 for adults, free for Iowa students and those 18 and younger.

Wolverines were tied nine times, as Iowa repeatedly made up lost points.

Michigan led 23-20, near the end of the first set, but two-straight kills from senior Tiffany Nilges kept Iowa alive a little longer.

In the second set, two Husz blocks and a kill from Eskew gave the Hawkeyes an early 8-6 lead — but that fell apart when the rest of the team couldn’t maintain the seniors’ momentum.

Sophomore setter Nikki Dailey sees every kill the seniors take, and is said she’s affected by their “contagious” eagerness.

that from the seniors.”

Although the seniors lead by example on the court, they said they’re now focusing on helping the freshmen adjust to the rigors of the Big Ten schedule.

Dingman said one of the reasons the underclassmen performed poorly in Michigan was because they don’t know how to handle traveling and road trips.

“Being a leader is a lot of information-sharing, just as much as it’s about how they perform on the court,” she said. “We hope our leaders can help by what they say in the locker room, what they say on the sidelines, when they’re watching film, when they’re in the hotel.”

Tom Nardo made a decision five years ago that confounded Kirk Ferentz.

The defensive lineman’s only scholarship offer came from William & Mary of the Football Championship Subdivision. He turned it Nardo down and instead defensive lineman traveled the 900plus miles from his hometown of Lancaster, Pa., to Iowa City to walk on as a Hawkeye.

“I still can’t explain that,” Ferentz said. “… And if you had given me truth serum when he was here, my thoughts were, why is this guy turning down a scholarship at William & Mary?”

Now a redshirt senior, Nardo’s 24 tackles are the fourth-most by a Hawkeye through four games this season.

“I was kind of perplexed by the whole thing, but for whatever reason, it was in his mind to come here,” Ferentz said. “We are glad he did.”

Nardo introduced himself to Hawkeye fans with a 12-tackle performance against LouisianaMonroe on Sept. 24, only his second career start. That earned him Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week.

Linebacker Tyler Nielsen said he expects another big game from Nardo against Penn State, a school that didn’t even offer him a walk-

Golfers try to shake 3rd-round blues The Iowa men's golf team has consistently been posting its worst scores in the final rounds of events.

By BEN SCHUFF benjamin-schuff@uiowa.edu

Iowa men’s golf coach Mark Hankins said he doesn’t like talking about Iowa’s third-round performances.

That’s because they’ve been less than ideal.

The No. 22 Iowa men’s golf team has posted its highest score in the final round of each of its three tournaments this fall.

Compare that with last year — when the Hawkeyes’ high round came on the last day in only four of their 11 tournaments throughout both the fall and spring seasons — and it becomes clear this is an occurrence Hankins wants to stop.

“We have to learn how to have that killer instinct and want to go out and figure out how to relax [and] figure out how to score and post a good number,” he said. “That only comes with experience, and that only comes

Hankins and members of the team have been quick to point out the youth of this year’s Hawkeyes, and a lack of experience could be a simple answer to Iowa’s third-round woes.

In its first tournament at Minnesota, Iowa’s two highest third-round scores came from a pair of Hawkeyes playing in their first Division-I event.

The same could be said for the third round at last weekend’s Rod Myers Invitational. The two highest scoring rounds again came from sources

of inexperience: Brian Bullington, who was playing in his first college tournament, and Ian Vandersee, playing in his third.

“We got three new guys on the team who are kind of still getting their feet under them,” senior Barrett Kelpin said following the team’s third round at the Rod Myers Invitational on Oct. 2. “Once they get more comfortable and get more experience, I think our final round scores will be more consistent.

“I know I felt a lot of pressure, too, when I was starting out, to play well on the last day. Once they

calm down a little bit, I think they’ll be just fine.”

Fellow senior Chris Brant expressed similar feelings about thirdround play at the college level. Brant said it took him “a few tournaments” his freshman year before he was comfortable during the final 18 holes of play in an event.

When asked if the problem could simply be nerves, Brant said, “Could be, yeah. Definitely.”

“I think the nerves are elevated in the final round for some of the younger guys just SEE GOLF, 7A

Englert rockets to 99 The Englert Theatre will celebrate its 99th anniversary this weekend with musical performances and arts-related discussions.

By SAMANTHA GENTRY samantha-gentry@uiowa.edu

Iris DeMent, one of the performers in the Englert’s 99th anniversary, said she hopes this weekend will be one of many opportunities to play at the venue.

“I hope the Englert is still around when I’m 99,” DeMent joked. “I plan to be needing some place to play; do you think they’d be willing to put me on the schedule 49 years in advance?”

For the Englert Theatre, 221 E. Washington St., entertaining the Iowa City community has been its job since 1912. The the-

ater has been a home to passionate performers for almost a century.

To help celebrate the venue’s 99th anniversary, a three-day event starting tonight and continuing through Saturday will take place at the Englert. Admission ranges from $5 to $25 depending on the performance.

Englert history The iconic performance space appears the way we see it today because of William and Etta Englert.

The theater’s marquis lends a retro feel to Washington Street

in downtown Iowa City. The yellow sign with flashing lights and bright pink script letters that read “Englert” welcome community members to the richly decorated venue.

Inside, visitors enter a theater with around 1,000 seats in front of a red velvet curtain. Many of the seats are marked with dedication labels from community members who made donations to show how they value the theater’s work throughout the years.

Back to the orchard UI theater students will put on a dramatic and humorous performance of The Cherry Orchard this weekend.

By JULIA JESSEN julia-jessen@uiowa.edu

One hundred seven years is an almost implausibly long time for something to remain relevant in our society, mostly because we continually ache for the exciting and new. It is an especially long time for a play, which at first glance appears to be written by a stuffy old Russian man, to stay exciting.

However, The Cherry Orchard, by Anton Chekhov, will open at 8 p.m. today and run through the Oct. 15 in the Theatre Building’s Mabie Theatre, and cast and crew said the play is as poignant today as it was in 1904.

“Right now in our society, there’s so many black and white points of view — like you have to be this way or choose sides,” said director and UI Professor Eric Forsythe. “Chekhov is the one who’s all about nuance and the humanity of human compromise … I think it’s an appeal that we’re making for humanity in the face of very difficult transitional times.”

The Cherry Orchard fol-

lows an aristocratic Russian family as the members deal with the changing times and personal strife as their estate and its cherry orchard face foreclosure. Forsythe said that the play is both tragic and humorous and that the complex mixture of tones was Chekhov’s interest.

Senior theater student Maggie Blake, who plays the role of Anya, describes her character as light and whimsical, motivated by what she anticipates her future to be. Blake had some trouble connecting with Anya’s lightness, she said, but the characters are all very true-to-life people going through immense transition.

“All the characters have their own stress they have to deal with because of their world coming to an end, or just beginning, or becoming something else,” she said.

Graduate student Kendall Lloyd plays Lopakin, a man who has worked his way up from low social standing to become the richest character in the play. He said that although people think of Chekhov as writing in a stilted Russian

style, his work is very accessible to a modern audience.

“It’s very real … There’s a lot of talk and people not necessarily doing anything, much like we are in real life,” Lloyd said. “I think it sort of examines human nature in that way.”

The Cherry Orchard features a mixture of both undergraduate and graduate acting students. The cast said having this opportunity was beneficial for both groups.

“I think it promotes a sense of family amongst the cast, and that’s been really cool,” Lloyd said.

“There’s a mutual respect whether you’re a grad actor or an undergrad.”

The play gives the students a chance to work with theater that has long-standing tradition — and for Forsythe, the world of Chekhov will never get dull.

“It kind of recharges your spirit going into that world,” he said. “So I’m hoping a lot of people will come and get their spirits recharged, because it happens to us every night. You can feel it.”

A documentary film directed by Michael Rapaport follows the story of one of the most influential music group in the hip-hop industry, A Tribe Called Quest.

As a musical group, it has produced five gold and platinum albums in the span of eight years. The group’s success in the music industry made it an icon in the hip-hop world, and its breakup in 1998 shocked not only the industry but the group’s fans as well.

OF THE WEEK The Cherry Stout A wise roommate once told me “don’t fruit the beer,” and since that day, I have abided. But this week’s beer of the week challenges my roommate’s adage and proves him wrong.

The Cherry Stout is a full-bodied stout brewed at Bell’s Brewery in Kalamazoo, Mich.

At first whiff, the brew carries a strong cherry aroma. But delve deeper, and you’ll find notes of roasted malt and a hint of roasted coffee.

The beer’s taste mirrors its aroma.

There is a strong taste of roasted chocolate and coffee, but the Cherry Stout is a well-balanced beer; the tartness of the cherries counteract the sweetness and provide a great balance.

“This is a big beer,” said Joe Hotek of John’s Grocery, 401 E. Market St. “It could be served by itself. It’s also very decedent and would go great with chocolate cake.”

There’s no place in the world to get better cherries than Michigan, and there’s no better place in the world to get a better cherry beer than Kalamazoo.

Cheers.

ENGLERT CONTINUED FROM 1B

tion in 1912, when they hoped to redevelop part of downtown.

As soon as the building opened on Sept. 26 of that year, vaudeville acts started performing at the theater, and locals and students filled the house. In addition to live performances, the Englert had a projection screen to show three-reel films.

Eight years later, William Englert died of a cerebral hemorrhage, and the future of the Englert was endangered when a fire in 1926 nearly destroyed the building.

The blaze caused $125,000 in damage, but that didn’t discourage Etta Englert and her new husband, James Hanlon, from rebuilding.

From then on, the Englert went through many renovations and many owners, and in 1999, the theater’s owners decided to close the then-cinema and sell the building.

When a bar owner bought the property to turn the space into a nightclub, the community protested and asked the city to purchase the theater and hold it until funds could be raised to purchase it and renovate it.

On Dec. 3, 2004, the community’s hard work paid

off, and after 60 years, the Englert reopened for its first live performance.

Today, the Englert strives to be a historic home for the arts.

“The iteration of the Englert is a young organization, and now, I think it’s just starting to become part of its own and is developing its own identity in the community,” said Englert Executive Director Andre Perry, who has worked with the company for a little more than a year.

This weekend’s events An International Writing Program reading at 5 p.m. today will kick off the celebration. Admission is free and open to the public.

Three of the best foreign writers, Perry said, will hold a reading of their new works or works in progress.

“We wanted to have an acknowledgment for different art forms in Iowa City,” he said. “There are a lot of writers, theater folks, and musicians, so we wanted to be able to honor all of those different forms.”

After the reading, a performance by the Poison Control Center will begin at 8 p.m. with a set specifically created for the event.

Admission is $5.

The five members of the band from Ames consider Iowa City to be their home away from home.

Patrick Fleming, the guitarist and creator of the band, said he likes playing in Iowa City because it’s always been a “rad” place.

Playing at the Englert for the anniversary is a

special experience for the musicians, and their goal is to change the world one chord at a time. They aren’t just performing for the free beers, Fleming said.

“We’ve played at Gabe’s and the Mill a ton of times, and all these places are centered on downtown, so you see the Englert every time you’re there,” he said.

“Playing the Englert is something that you shoot for, and it’s a goal for a band to play venues like that.”

At 8 p.m. Friday, DeMent will take the stage. Admission is $25.

Bo Ramsey, an Iowa City musician who will produce DeMent’s next record, will open for her.

DeMent plans on going to Nashville to create a record that will be an example of her gospel and country style.

“Bo Ramsey is a wonderful musician, as most folks, particularly in Iowa, already know, and he’s produced some fine records,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to seeing what we can do together.”

On Saturday, there will be two panel discussions, which are free and open to the public. The Theater Arts in the Cultural Corridor discussion will begin at 1:30 p.m., and the members will discuss how to get people more excited about the theater arts.

At 3 p.m., there will be an independent-artist discussion in which three artists will talk about what it means to be an independent artist in Iowa and how

they create their art.

At 8 p.m., Pieta Brown will perform with Alexis Stevens. Admission is $15.

This show will be the début performance for the release of Brown’s new record, Mercury, and she looks forward to being able to play in the Englert’s intimate space.

“I think as an artist having lived around Iowa City and calling it my home, it feels good to be supported by the community and to also support the community with my music,” she said. “It’s an honor to be a part of something that is a community event.”

Still shameless after 25 years

Write on, Hancher interns encourage Hancher’s interns have created a writing contest for the students about their favorite performing-arts experiences.

By SAMANTHA GENTRY samantha-gentry@uiowa.edu

If you’ve worked with a music teacher who had a great influence on you, went to a dance performance that took your breath away, or saw a musical that made you cry with joy, Hancher wants to hear about it.

To stick with the theme of Hancher’s current season, “Can’t Contain Us,” it is providing another outlet for students who are more creative on paper than on stage.

Graduate or undergraduate students who want to participate should tell Hancher about a powerful performing-arts experience they have had either as a performer or observer.

Hancher wants pieces that are thoughtfully written and imaginative in 500 words or fewer. The deadline for the fall semester is Oct. 31; students will have a second chance to participate in the spring semester with a deadline on Jan. 31.

UI sophomore Amelia Peacock, who was hired as a Hancher summer intern in marketing, got together with the other interns to create a writing contest that was similar to the design contest Hancher provides for art students.

The interns worked with the School of Journal-

No Shame Theater celebrates its 25th anniversary this weekend.

By HANNAH KRAMER hannah-kramer@uiowa.edu

The University of Iowa’s student-run No Shame Theater has only three rules.

One: pieces must be five minutes or less in length.

Two: the piece must be original (none of that Shakespeare or Broadway nonsense). Three: the performance cannot harm the audience, stage, or any other materials involved with the piece.

“I [am] really impressed

by No Shame because it has such a free atmosphere,” said freshman participant Aubrey Christensen. “You don’t have to worry about being embarrassed because everyone is going up there and performing.”

For the past 25 years, actors, comedians, musicians, poets, prose writers, and many other imaginative community members have teamed up to share ideas at the open creative forum.

This weekend, members of the theater will host a series of shows to commemorate the work of the theater since its first performances given from the back of a cofounder (with Stan Ruth) Todd Ristau’s pickup truck in the Theatre Building parking lot in 1986.

The first shows will be at 11 p.m. today and Firday in the Theatre Building’s Theater B. Admission is $1. The final show at 11 p.m. Saturday will be a “Best of Best of No Shame,” which will review some of the performance highlights from the theater’s archives.

Admission is $3.

“No Shame Theater has always kind of flown by the seat of its pants,” said UI graduate student Spencer Abbe, a member of the Board of Directors. “[That] gives it an organic feel.”

At every show, hosted at

The UI’s student-run No Shame Theater celebrates its 25th anniversary with three shows at 11 p.m. in Theatre Building’s Theatre B this weekend.

11 p.m. on Fridays, the No Shame group, usually composed of 50 to 75 members, puts on a series of 10 to 15 short performances. Anyone is welcome to attend, regardless of theater experience, and piece submissions are accepted until 30 minutes before the show. “[The timing] does give the show a very raw feel,” Abbe said. “You’re bound to get some gems in there, but there’s also a lot of subpar pieces — there is always something good to see.”

For her first No Shame show this fall, Christensen said she wrote a song on the ukulele about baseball pants and asked a member of the audience to preform an interpretive dance in front of her while she played the song. Abbe said the performance was a crowd pleaser.

“The hardest part for me is nerves, because there are people who have performed there for so long,” she said.

“And those people are extremely hilarious and good at what they do.”

Bryan McIntyre, another member of the Board of Directors who studies theater at the UI, sees No Shame as a different type of outlet for his talent.

No Shame Theater When: 11 p.m. today, Friday, and Saturday Where: Theatre B, Theater Building Admission: $1 for Thursday and Friday shows, $3 for Saturday show “There’s a lot more freedom with creativity,” he said. “It’s more laid-back and about having a good time.”

Abbe said he believes this weekend’s anniversary performance will be a testament to the theater’s success, and he hopes that a lot of alumni will return to recreate some pieces from past shows.

Since No Shame’s beginning in the mid-80s, other universities have taken the UI’s lead and started their own No Shame chapters, performing in this openended improvisational style across the country.

“I hope after this board moves on the theater can continue,” Abbe said.

“We'd like to be back for a 50th — that would be swell."

ism and Mass Communication, the Division of Performing Arts, and the English Department to reach a wide range of students.

“We thought it would be a great way for the students to get published and also experience the arts of Hancher,” Peacock said.

Rob Cline, the Hancher director of marketing and communications, is excited to see what will happen with the project.

Many of his interns are interested in the writing portion of marketing, so they started talking about how Hancher can be a part of the literary community, he said.

“If there is one thing that we try to provide with the intern program, it’s that we try out the ideas of the students and try real projects with real stakes,” Cline said. “When they thought this was a good idea, we wanted to support their initiative, and because the design contest works very well, I can’t see a reason this writing component won’t.”

Cline and Peacock are interested in the ways students will portray their arts experiences in their entries.

While they value wellwritten and thoughtful essays, they also hope for something that will surprise them.

“I’m looking for some

kind of piece that has eyegrabbing language or tells the story in a unique way,” Peacock said. “It needs to present the performing arts in a very bright and flattering light.”

The Hancher interns will read the submissions and select the winners.

The number of winners selected will depend on the amount of free space in the Hancher playbills this fall; the first will appear for the big holiday event Hancher will produce right after Thanksgiving break.

Hancher employees believe this will be a great way for students to get their work published and possibly provide them with internships with the venue.

“We are very proud of our playbills, so the writing in them is already of a fairly high caliber,” Cline said. “Plus those 15 minutes before the lights go down, you need something to do.”

He and his team hope to continue the project in the years to come. They want students to know that Hancher isn’t just about the performing arts.

“I’m very excited to see what happens with the final product and how this turns out,” Peacock said.

“I’m very receptive about it, so hopefully, the students will be, too.”

A different guitar ethos NYC going

By JORDAN MONTGOMERY

Southern

jordan-w-montgomery@uiowa.edu

There is only one Russian Guitar Festival in the world — right here in Iowa City.

This weekend, the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area will welcome international artists to perform and teach about this rare and forgotten instrument.

The festival is hosted by the International Academy for Russian Music, Arts, and Culture. The event will bring Russian guitar virtuosi from across the globe for performances and teaching seminars.

The Russian guitar flourished during the first half of the 19th century, but it has since lost popularity. The Russian Guitar Festival works to both preserve the early tradition of the instrument and to revive the instrument by performing recently composed works.

“I spent 15 years searching the Russian archives searching for [music]” said Oleg Timofeyev, a cofounder and artistic director of the International Academy for Russian Music. “All of it is in my basement, here in Iowa City— that’s the preserving part of it. We also perform new pieces, trying to show the Russian guitar with the variety of gypsy music, Russian music, and folk music, there are many traditions associated with this guitar.

The festival this weekend will take place at a number of venues in Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.

Admission for shows is $12

The world’s only Russian Guitar Festival will be held in the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids this weekend to honor the rare instrument. for the general public, $8 for students and seniors.

Timofeyev, originally from Russia, holds a Ph.D. in early music performance, has recorded albums featuring him on both guitar and lute, and he was awarded the Fulbright Scholarship twice in the past 10 years to support his research.

“It is true that not all old music is immediately appealing,” he said. “But in this case it is very interesting. There is a full-blown Russian guitar tradition as large as the Spanish guitar tradition. There are very sophisticated uses of the instrument, and very interesting techniques.”

UI Associate Professor Sabine Gölz, a cofounder and executive director of the International Academy for Russian Music, explained that six years ago, when the festival was

in its first year, it was nothing more than a seminar in experts in the field were given opportunities to teach about this rich and forgotten tradition.

Eventually, the concerts became as, or perhaps more, important.

“Our Russian musical tradition is quite interesting in many directions, from classical to folk, and I think the American people should be more familiar with it,” Russian-Roma guitarist Vadim Kolpakov, an artist who will travel to Iowa this weekend to perform. “Americans should know that there is such a thing as the Russian sevenstring guitar, which is a musical instrument with a large repertoire, equal to the American national guitar that we admire in folk music and jazz.

Gölz recognizes the strong musical tradition

with the guitar in the United States, but she explains that the two instruments have a very different style.

“Many artists play the guitar like a machine gun, incredibly technically polished,” she said. “But the Russian guitar is a completely different ethos. It’s a softer, more romantic, more expressive way of playing guitar. It’s a different style, a different tuning, and it has different possibilities.”

While Gölz and her colleagues understand the importance of the Russian guitar, they want others to value what it can offer to the music world.

“People say, ‘We already have a guitar — why do we need this other guitar?’ ” Gölz said. “Well, because it’s sort of like ecology in the world. There are different species we need, like the horse and the zebra.

It’s about variety.”

NEW YORK — The South will rise again — at least on the New York City restaurant scene.

According to the 2012 Zagat guide to city dining, Southern food tops this year’s trends, thanks to such newcomers as Marcus Samuelsson’s celebrity magnet Red Rooster and the Cardinal, an East Village eatery dishing up okra, smothered pork chops, and fried green tomatoes.

Other trends include onsite gardens providing roof-to-table ingredients, according to the guide released Wednesday.

This edition is the first New York guide since Zagat Survey LLC was acquired by Google last month. Tim Zagat, who founded the company with his wife, Ina, said readers won’t notice the difference.

“The survey was largely completed before the deal closed,” Zagat said.

The survey is also the first since New York City’s letter-grade system for sanitation forced every restaurant to post an A, B, or C in its window. The letter grades were just being rolled out when the 2011 guide was published.

More than four out of five surveyors said they approved of the grading system, and 35 percent said they would eat only at A-rated restaurants. Zagat said that creates “a huge pressure on the restaurant

to maintain its high grade.”

The most popular restaurant was Le Bernardin, Eric Ripert’s French seafood temple.

Surveyors said its “starchy” service, “reverential” crowd, and “civilized” milieu combined for an “unforgettable” experience.

They contended that the $70 lunch is a relative bargain.

The guide is indexed by categories including Gluten-Free Options, College Centric, Critic Proof, Hipster, Offbeat, Quick Bite, Stargazing and Tough Tickets.

The Zagats started their survey in New York 32 years ago and have since expanded to more than 100 cities.

A total of 2,111 restaurants were reviewed by 41,604 surveyors for the 2012 New York survey.

According to the survey, the average cost of a meal was up 4.1 percent to $43.46 from $41.76 last year.

The average cost of a meal at the city’s 20 most expensive restaurants was $163.34.

Zagat said there were 135 notable restaurant openings and just 68 closings in the past year. “The restaurateurs are betting on the future, because they’re spending millions of dollars to open these places,” he said.

Enter laughing Getting hitched

By MADISON BENNETT madison-bennett@uiowa.edu

Comedians Jermaine Fowler, Rory Scovel, and Nick Thune have opened for major comedy acts and appeared in blockbuster films, and this weekend, they will bring their funny business to Iowa City for a show full of laughs.

The University of Iowa Campus Activities Board will host Comedy Central on Campus in the IMU Main Lounge. Doors will open at 9:30 p.m. Friday; admission is $5.

Comedy Central on Campus brings rising stars to campuses across America.

“We chose Comedy Central for this show in particular because we thought it would be well-known throughout the student campus,” said Kyle Allen, the Campus Activities Board comedy director. “We knew we would be able to market it really well.”

Kenan Thompson of “Saturday Night Live” kickstarted this year’s Campus Activities Board events, and the show was so popular it sold out.

“It was a free show, and

we actually ended up having to turn people away because we were at capacity,” said Kathleen Kuhar, the president of the Campus Activities Board. “Word about these shows seems to spread like wildfire on campus, and we have high hopes for this Comedy Central show.”

Board members think the excitement about the Thompson show will set the tone for the following shows, Allen said.

“We’re trying to just go off that and bring in another big crowd for this event,” he said.

The show will be set up with Scovel and Fowler performing for around 20 minutes before Thune takes the stage as the main act.

Scovel has opened for such comedians as Louis C.K., Daniel Tosh, and Nick Swardson. Audiences may remember Thune from his appearances in Unaccompanied Minors, Knocked Up, and License to Wed. “This show is a lot different from what we normal do,” said Campus Activities Board adviser Molly Golemo. “I think it was impor-

tant for us to diversify and provide students with a different type of comedy.”

In addition to the three performing at Iowa, other standup comedians featured on the Comedy Central on Campus tour include Rachel Feinstenin, Anthony Jeselnik, Mo Mandel, Joe DeRosa, Jessie Klein, Kyle Kinane, and Julian McCullough.

The Campus Activities Board produces around four big-name shows each semester. The remaining performers for this semester are Heather McDonald, best known from her appearances on “Chelsea Lately”, and Dave Coulier, best known from his role as Uncle Joey on “Full House.”

The major shows for spring have yet to be booked, Allen said, but the organization expects to put on a multi-performer event similar to Comedy Central on Campus.

“You know how giddy the Pillsbury Doughboy is when he gets poked and giggles,” Kuhar said. “Multiply that by 10, and that’s how pumped I am for this show.”

Language moving naturally

By JULIA JESSEN julia-jessen@uiowa.edu

Travis Nichols and Lily Brown are both inspired by reading. While the two writers listed other things that also inspire them, reading work by authors whom they admire is a uniting factor.

“It’s often in that experience of the mind wandering away from the book, of sort of the imagination getting set to work, that inspires poems for me,” Brown said.

The two will read at 7 p.m. today at Prairie Lights Books, 15 S. Dubuque St. Admission is free.

Brown, a native of Massachusetts, lives in Athens, Ga., and she is working on a Ph.D. in English and creative writing at the University of Georgia. She will read poems from her book that came out at the beginning of the year, Rust or Go Missing.

Her work is influenced by nature and visual art, and she said she strives to create poems that move naturally.

“I think of poems in general, or at least poems that I admire, as sort of complex entities that hopefully represent the way that thought moves and the way that we negotiate interior thought experience and exterior experience, particularly our experiences with other people in the world,” she said.

Rob Schlegel, who organized the reading, said the way Brown uses language creates an enjoyable reading experience.

“Brown’s poems reward the careful, deliberate reader,” he said. “The more you read them, the more they give. There is a subtle music at work in Brown’s diction and syntax.”

The other author, Nichols, will read from the three books he has published: Iowa and See Me Improving, which are books of poems, and Off We Go Into the Wild Blue Yonder, a novel.

Some of his work is inspired by memory and how the way that people remember things is not entirely accurate. Nichols was also inspired by the feeling he gets by reading other authors’ work.

“You may not understand it or be able to describe exactly what’s going on, but it triggers something within that makes you also want to explore thoughts and feelings,” the Iowa native said.

Nichols begins by writing all of his pieces out longhand, continuing to add to or refine them until he types them on the computer in final revisions.

“A huge part of writing is tricking yourself into

believing that someone will at some point care,” he said.

“So writing things out longhand, I’m able to conjure up the idea that someone might care because it looks pretty. If I get to the typing point, then I’ve thoroughly fooled myself into believing that someone might care.” describes Schlegel Nichols’ work as very engaging and a true-to-life look at the world we live in.

“The poems are sad,

funny, and terrifyingly accurate in their representation of our generation’s collective anxieties,” Schlegel said.

For Nichols, writing is a simply daily activity.

“It’s something where no matter what happens during the day, if I wrote something that felt like it worked out a particular problem, then that day was a success,” he said.

in a virtual world

NEW YORK — As her grandfather sat pleasantly perplexed at her wedding, Lauren Barnes reached into the recesses of her strapless white gown, whipped out her iPhone, and accepted her groom’s Facebook relationship change to “married.”

“Nothing’s official,” she said, “until it’s Facebook official.”

In today’s $78-billion-ayear business of getting hitched, those wacky viral videos of whole wedding parties dancing down the aisle seem positively 2009.

Social media, mobile tools, and online vendors are abundant to offer the happy couple extra fun, savings, and convenience, though most of the nation’s betrothed aren’t ready to completely let go of tradition.

Some send out video save-the-dates, include high-speed scannable “QR” barcodes on invitations, live-stream their ceremonies for far-flung loved ones to watch online, and open their party playlists to let friends and families help choose the tunes.

They invite guests to live tweet the big day using special Twitter keywords, called hashtags, and create interactive seating charts so tablemates can chat online

ahead of time.

One couple featured a “guest of the week” on their wedding blog. Another ordered up a cake with an iPad embedded at the base to stream photos at the reception. A third Skyped in a “virtual bridesmaid” who couldn’t make it, so she was walked down the aisle by a groomsman via iPad. As for the Barnes and James Williams nuptials held Sept. 3 on the grounds of the Long Beach Art Museum, their officiant and friend Andrew Pachon used an iPad for the ceremony, but that and the Facebook fiddle to “married” was about it in the way of tech flourishes.

Williams and Barnes, a 29-year-old physician from

Long Beach, had Pachon explain toward the end of the ceremony that the couple wanted to share the moment with their 400plus Facebook friends.

Before the ceremony, Williams had sent his bride a Facebook request to change his relationship status to “married to Lauren Barnes.” Once they were hitched, she accepted using her iPhone — at 5:48 p.m. to be exact. There was a flurry of “likes” from gathered guests and the masses in cyberspace.

Re-examining a few more wellknown sayings: • “God never gives us more than we can bear.”

Except for the things that kill us.

• “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you.” Unless you’re a mosquito. Also, if you are a mosquito: I hate you, and congratulations on learning how to read.

• “Let’s get down to brass tacks.” It’s gotta be easier than getting down the Brass Tax. What’s that at now? 15 percent? Government.

AMIRIGHTORAMIRIGHT ?!

• “No news is good news.” Unless all of the world’s news outlets have been destroyed.

• “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” As does falling down a flight of stairs.

• “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” If it ain’t broke, take an English class.

• “The camera adds 10 pounds.” They’re very high in trans fats.

• “When push comes to shove …” Then you weren’t paying attention during your childbirth classes.

• “The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world that he didn’t exist.” That, or a Double 1260 McTwist.

• “There’s no accounting for taste.” If there were, my closet would be Enron.

• “A picture is worth a thousand words.” An exaggeration. This column is about 250 words. If I just put one quarter of a picture in this space, you all would think I was just being lazy.

(And possibly funnier than usual.)

• “There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” There are, however, zero good ways to explain your basement full of skinned cats.
