Student faces harassment, assault charges A University of Iowa Student Government senator was charged Sept. 30 with first-degree harassment and assault while displaying a dangerous weapon after he allegedly threatened a friend with a knife.

Rishabh Nath, 20, was reportedly fooling around with friends in his apartment in the early morning hours of Sept. 30 when he allegedly began using a knife as a sword.

According to a complaint by Iowa City police, one of Nath’s friends felt unsafe because of the display and locked himself in a bedroom. Nath then allegedly stabbed and beat upon the door with the knife.

The complaint said the victim then heard glasses and boxes hitting the floor, and he exited the room. Nath then allegedly threatened the victim, putting the knife against his throat and pressing him up against the bathroom sink, verbally threatening him.

The complaint said the victim feared for his life.

First-degree harassment and assault while displaying a dangerous weapon are both aggravated misdemeanors.

Man charged with record tampering A 22-year-old North Liberty man was arrested for supplying officers with different Social Security numbers on separate, unrelated arrests.

Cruz Maximo-Campos, 247 B Holiday Lodge Road, was charged Sept. 19. with tampering with records after he allegedly obtained employment at Panchero’s using a false Permanent Alien Resident card.

He was also employed under a different Social Security number, the complaint said. After investigation, officers found that neither of the Social Security numbers belonged to the man.

Campos may face incarceration and possible deportation if he is found to be an illegal immigrant.

Officials could not confirm if Campos is an illegal immigrant.

The dysfunctional characters on the cult television show “Arrested Development” can teach people about philosophy.

This is the concept behind University of Iowa graduate student Kris Phillips’ book, ‘Arrested Development’ and Philosophy: They’ve made a Huge Mistake, which is set to hit bookshelves this December as part of a series relating philosophy to pop culture.

Executive Producer Mitch Hurwitz announced earlier this month that a new season and movie adaptation of “Arrested Development” would begin next year.

Phillips said the publisher had planned to release the book before Sunday’s announcement was made.

A tragic car accident in 2003 sparked the retired teacher’s passion for photography. nary.”

Heusinkveld’s photography is on display at the Kirkwood Community College’s Nielsen Hall, and it will be the cover art for the upcoming book Perilous Moments, by Russell Noyes of Iowa City.

Photography became a way of coping for Heusinkveld. He started creating images more regularly after coming upon the Amana lily lake frozen in the winter. He said the foliage beneath the ice inspired him, and his photography ballooned from there, acting as a way of communicating with the memory of his son.

“I would maintain that all of my pictures are griefdriven,” he said. “I think there’s a kind of pain in this that I think makes a person much more sensitive.”

An exhibition of Heusinkveld’s and his mother’s work was recently on display at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, titled Like Mother, Like Son. Though the car accident sparked his photography, Heusinkveld had been

interested in the art form for a long time, learning at the knee of his mother who is a well-known civil-rights photographer.

Cedar Rapids Museum of Art Curator Sean Ulmer said he was impressed with the level of accomplishment and sophistication in Heusinkveld’s photographs.

“He has a very different way of looking at the world, and he sees things in the natural world around him that most of us just zoom right by,” Ulmer said.

Carrying two cameras with him everywhere he goes, as well as a list of places he wants to photograph that day, has become a way of life for Heusinkveld.

“I have a lot of fun,” he said. “If it’s not fun, I’m not going to do it.”

Despite the fact that his photographs come from a place of deep sadness, Heusinkveld said he d o e s n ’ t ever take morose pictures. Instead, he said, he wants people to smile when they see his work.

“Without emotion, there are no good pictures,” he said.

Coralville police arrested a homeless man after he allegedly slapped a woman and injured an officer while resisting arrest.

James Shaw, 21, address unknown, was charged Oct. 7 with domestic-abuse assault without intent causing injury and two counts of interference with official acts causing bodily injury.

Complaints said Coralville police were called to a First Avenue residence for a domestic disturbance.

The complaint said Shaw held a woman, whom he was romantically involved with, by her arms to keep her from moving and leaving and slapped the right side of her face.

Shaw also allegedly spit on her several times.

Spending the morning hiking around the Amana Colonies, searching for the perfect scenes to freeze in time with his camera, David Heusinkveld finds beauty in nature: flowers on the Amana lily lake, a grasshopper framed by a leaf, ducks sitting lazily in the water.

“I’m just trying to increase the beauty in the world with pictures,” the former special-education teacher said.

But photography didn’t become a serious venture for Heusinkveld until tragedy ripped away the life he once had.

In 2003, he was riding in the car with 18-year-old son Jordan when another car hit them head on. Jordan was killed on impact, and David was within a minute of dying before his life was saved by a passerby. “[The accident] changed everything,” Heusinkveld said. “Everything was just totally different.”

artery was severed during the accident, the bone protruded from his skin, and he nearly bled to death. His brain was also affected, causing behavioral changes, short-term memory problems, and a form of dementia.

Despite these challenges, Heusinkveld’s mother, Joan Liffring-Zug Bourret, said she admires her son’s transition into photography.

“I’m very proud of him for finding a new career when he couldn’t teach anymore,” Liffring-Zug Bourret said. “His photographs of nature have wonderful composition, and I think they’re extraordi-

METRO/NATION Man charged with assault Iowa City police arrested an Illinois man after he allegedly assaulted another man at a downtown bar.

Robert Gavrick III, 19, Willow Springs, Ill., was charged Oct. 7 with assault causing bodily injury.

According to a complaint, officers became aware of Gavrick on the Pedestrian Mall in front of the Library Bar, 111 E. College St., when he was being shouted at by another male — who told officers Gavrick and two other men approached him while he was in the restroom.

The complaint said witnesses told police Gavrick and the male fought on the dance floor over a female.

Gavrick allegedly grabbed the male around the neck and slammed his head against the wall.

The complaint said the male had corresponding marks on his neck and a red lump on the back of his head.

North Liberty police arrested a Colorado woman after allegedly finding 11 pounds of marijuana in her vehicle.

Alexandra Owens, 27, was charged Oct. 6 with failure to affix a drug tax stamp.

The complaint said officers pulled Owens’ car over on I-80 near the 238 mile marker because of a non-functioning headlight.

Owens allegedly appeared to be nervous and shaking when approached by officers and denied officer’s consent to search the vehicle.

Hayek has experience I have known Iowa City Mayor Matt Hayek since he was an intern for Rep. Dave Nagle for whom I worked when Iowa City was in the 3rd Congressional District of Iowa.

I have watched and been very pleased with Matt’s progression from that less-than-affluent status to Iowa City mayor and city councilor.

He has taken on some very tough issues such as the 21ordinance and banning Information tables on the Ped Mall, and he works with the University of Iowa to jointly commission a market study for downtown working-space options with the Iowa City Area Development Group. The city, university, and private sector are hoping to establish a public-private partnership to combine the music-school facilities with taxable projects such as commercial and residential condominiums.

He wisely chose Mary Kate Pilcher as his wife and partner in establishing another Hayek family, which includes three lovely young children to keep Iowa City growing and maintain strong family roots for the future. His leadership and strong support for high-quality education and safe schools is another area of Matt’s interest and commitment.

Iowa City is more than lucky to have Matt Hayek at the helm of our local government. We all need to work together to keep honest, superior individuals such as Matt in office. I am proud to endorse Matt and encourage individuals who do not know him to review his history and accomplishments and support him for re-election.

Patel embodies American Dream Last week, I had dinner with UI student and City Council candidate Raj Patel, and something he said to me has resonated since.

“Jacob,” he said. “This campaign, everything — it’s not that I only want to do it — but it’s, as if, I feel I have to do it.”

He then went on to explain how his parents immigrated to the United States for its hope of opportunity and — after working in a Snap-On tools factory upon their first entrepreneurial endeavor — couldn’t afford a home. Living in the 15bedroom motel they ran for their sole source of income, they kept their spirits up and

their work ethic strong, and they progressed. And, after all the setbacks and naïveté of coming to a new country, they were able to provide all three of their children with what every parent strives for: college educations and opportunities for success.

I’ll vote for Raj because, combined with a precocious wisdom of the area’s politics, he represents a visceral connection to what made this country what it is.

He’s not a local business owner looking to have a say in the politics affecting his financial investments; he’s a resident of Iowa City who has learned enough about Iowa City politics (serving as student liaison to the City Council this past year) to know what needs to be changed. He speaks with a voice that benefits the people of Iowa City, and not his own bank account.

Raj fully realizes the blessing it is to be an American, and if elected, could become a source of opportunity and optimism for the city of Iowa City.

J a c o b L a n c a s te r Iowa City resident

Hayek cares, has served I support Matt Hayek for reelection to the Iowa City City Council.

Matt believes in the seemingly old-fashioned ideas of public service and volunteerism. I first met him 20 years ago in a UI classroom when he was learning Spanish to prepare for a two-year Peace Corps assignment in Bolivia. His public engagement continued upon his return to Iowa City. He was recognized by the state bar association for his pro bono legal work for less fortunate Iowans. He served on the board of the Englert Theatre for five years, including as president. He’s been active in and has led numerous city commissions and task forces. For the last four years, he has worked hard and served us well on the City Council.

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

J oa n B u r n s Iowa City resident

Hayek knows Iowa City I am writing to endorse Matt Hayek for re-election to the City Council.

I view Matt as a consistent advocate for responsible city

planning. He is genuinely committed to policies that respect and indeed encourage the many diverse neighborhoods and communities that make up our city. He has a deep knowledge and respect for the history of Iowa City that he combines with a worldly outlook and an enthusiasm for new ideas and perspectives.

I encourage voters to support Matt in the primary election on Oct. 11.

Eric Gidal Iowa City

Patel reaches out Raj Patel is a born leader.

I have watched him grow from “Just Another Student” candidate to a well-qualified, well-spoken candidate for City Council. He has taken the time to become extremely wellinformed on the issues, as well as put in the work to make sure the community is aware of his efforts.

I have heard him tell me numerous times how he has spent time in the community, knocking on doors and listening to the people and their concerns. He has reached out to our low-income neighborhoods as well as the student populous. It’s this type of commitment and work ethic that we all desire in our elected officials, and Raj personifies that.

His qualities as a business person allow him to better understand the troubles Iowa City has in attracting new businesses, and his status as a current student allow him to better connect with a portion of our population that is typically underrepresented.

I encourage you to take the time to read his well thought out positions and interest in the community as posted on his website, PatelCityCouncil.com, to learn more about him and what he stands for.

He is not only a great person but also a great leader. I ask you to join me in supporting him for a City Council term and believe that he has the youth, vision, and dedication to lead Iowa City moving forward. Please vote for him Oct. 11 and again on Nov. 8. Thank you.

L u k e S c hn e i d e r Iowa City resident

Hayek is a leader We support Matt Hayek in his re-election campaign for City Council.

Matt is a demonstrated leader who has been a key contributor to many of the

major milestones within the Iowa City community over the past several years, including economic development, health and safety initiatives, and productive partnerships with entities such as the University of Iowa.

Matt is deeply committed to Iowa City — to maintaining its stature as a vibrant city while also supporting the health and safety of its diverse residents.

He is a collaborative partner, willing to consider problems from numerous perspectives before choosing a course of action. Matt has provided excellent leadership on the Council.

Join us in voting for Matt Hayek so that he can continue to bring his considerable experience, insight, and skill to the council’s important work.

Sarah and Scott Hansen Iowa City residents

Hayek listens There are many reasons to vote this Tuesday for the election of city officials. We are facing serious economic and social problems at local, national, and global levels that are tangible, particularly at the local level. The election of strong public officials is critically important at this time.

We encourage you to support Matt Hayek for the City Council. He is very effective in leading our City Council as mayor, having been elected and recognized for leadership to the post by fellow members of the council. Matt has the skills combined with personal integrity to lead us through difficult times.

As a small-business owner in downtown, Matt understands the fiscal operations and incentives for economic development. As a past president of the Englert Theatre and Peace Corps volunteer, he understands the value of the arts and social development. Matt Hayek continues to work through tough decisions for balancing our city budget. He listens carefully to students and long-term residents alike by hosting public hearings in creating bar-entry and other ordinances that improve our city.

We need intelligent, caring, and strong leadership now.

Please vote this Tuesday for Matt Hayek, Iowa City City Council.

M. Zuhdi Jasser is not a household name when it comes to foreign and religious affairs, but it ought to be.

The Navy veteran and medical doctor with a practice in Arizona took part in the University of Iowa’s Lecture Committee series on Oct. 2 and tackled one of the hotly contested topics in international issues: separation of mosque and state.

Jasser founded the American Islamic Forum for Democracy in 2003 after the events of 9/11 in order to establish a MuslimAmerican voice favoring the ideals and principles of the U.S. Constitution, freedom, and liberty. He feels that political Islam has perverted the peaceful nature of the Islamic religion. He wants Muslims to be able to practice Islam in an environment that protects their rights or for them to have the ability reject it at their discretion.

Achieving these results is as difficult as it sounds.

Among the forces in the Muslim community, American politics, governments, and radical Islamic groups, Jasser says, “we have become anesthetized about the discussion of religion.” Beyond the scope of Islam, the mere mention of religion when it comes to political matters attracts inflammatory opinions about the separation of religion and the state.

In fact, those words aren’t mentioned in the Constitution but are usually the layman’s interpretation of the First Amendment. Religions of many types played an influential role in the founding of America and her guarantees of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, including Islam.

“Islam?” you might be asking. “Were there Muslims in America at that time?”

There were some, but only a few were prominent in our founding. One of them was Ayyub Ibn Sulaiman, who was a citizen of Maryland who helped George Sale with the first English translation of the Koran.

Interestingly enough, the first printed copy wound up into the hands of Thomas Jefferson.

Jefferson requested a copy of the Koran in the early 1800s because he needed it for intelligence research for America’s first war following the foundation of the new federal government.

The Barbary pirates along the coast of Africa were radical Wahhabi Muslims who held no allegiance to any nation, and they were ransacking merchant ships. The first Marine Corps fought these precursors to our modern-day Al Qaeda and won.

With this in mind, it should be known that the principles of religion and liberty go hand in hand, although the state should not dictate what the accepted religion should be.

Jasser made it clear in his lecture that “radical Islam is a byproduct of brutal dictatorships” such as that of Bashar alAssad and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. These nations are among the many in the Middle East that combine Islam and the mosque with the state, resulting in an oppressive society dominated by sharia, fundamentalism, and terrorism.

“Sharia is a manmade concept,” and it is the center of repression of freedom and women in the Islamic world “as delegated by history.”

Jasser uses this to explain the radicalization of Muslims by the various terrorist cells in the Middle East and how America’s efforts through military force are only exacerbating the problem. Our “Whack-A-Mole program” of killing Islamist terrorists and dictators fuels Muslim clerics’ radicalization of individuals against the philosophy of American liberty.

America’s only response is to then kill or capture those people when they become a significant threat.

It’s a vicious cycle that won’t end unless we change our tactics.

We must focus on de-radicalization in the earliest stages by promoting the ideals of Americanism, selfidentity with God, and individualism in the Middle East without involving our military.

“We don’t need an umma anymore,” he said.

“The Islamic state should have died with the Prophet, and it didn’t.”

ing the opinion that we don’t want to perpetuate a system the way it’s been running.”

The Occupy Iowa City protest began at 6 p.m., with a “general assembly” — a collective meeting of the group — at 7 p.m., in which organizers proposed an agenda and facilitated a vote on a preliminary statement of intent.

The occupation is still underway, and organizers say they will be staying indefinitely. So far, organizers said, they have seen a lot of community support for their efforts. Protesters have received donations of food and supplies from over 20 individuals, most of whom choose to remain anonymous.

The assembly also estab-

lished committees in charge of specific aspects of the occupation, including security, medical, community outreach, and sleeping committees.

Despite previous questions about whether they would be able to assemble at the park without a permit, Iowa City officials said last week the group was permitted.

Protesters said as the event moved into the night, police came to ensure the safety of the group.

“We’ve been notified by the police that they will be here but only to protect us from possible drunk students walking by,” said Michael Sears, an organizer.

UI alumna Carolyn Scherf told The Daily

Iowan about the outreach committee.

“We’re talking about forming connections with other organizations in town, talking about how we’re going to target populations that are underrepresented right now.”

During another assembly, the group decided it would accept donations,but not from politically motivated groups, wishing to remain independent.

“We want support, not sponsors,” said Alison Clark, a Kirkwood student and member of the occupiers’ food committee.

Food donations have been so abundant that the protesters have extended an open offer to those in need — daily dinners at 6

p.m. are open to anyone who is hungry.

And some locals are impressed with the demonstration.

“The value of what is happening here is that people are educating themselves, and educating other people,” said Iowa City resident Tom Hickey. “They’re analyzing the situation and seeing things that can be improved.”

To the 72-year old Vietnam veteran, there is a familiarity to the occupation.

“I was here 40 years ago, this is the same thing,” Hickey said. “I think that this whole thing is about a return to democracy, 21stcentury style.”

because we [will] become a powerful economic country again,” he said.

Still, Ingram noted there are merits to restrictions on business.

“In general, there are times when you want regulations in the economy when the market isn’t going to do what’s needed,” she said. “Businesses even want regulations to make sure no one commits fraud.

It creates a broad playing field.”

Deregulation has been a hot topic in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Free-

market proponents — mostly aligned with the Republicans — have pushed for less regulation, including in the financial sector.

The Heritage Foundation, for instance, charges that the Obama administration’s over-regulation is a job-killer. Heritage’s Mike Brownfield wrote last month, “ During President Obama’s first 26 months in office, his administration imposed 75 new major regulations, with reported costs to the private sector exceeding $40 billion.”

Left-leaning economists, though, say deregulation would increase instability in the economy. Liberal blog Think Progress, for instance, points out that financial institutions are bringing in big profits in spite of the Dodd-Frank regulations financial approved by Congress last year.

Perry’s message was well-received by those in attendance last week in Tiffin.

“You think about it — the most friendly states for business — they are states

that have fewer taxes, less regulation,” said University of Iowa freshman Sahan Thenuwara. “And mostly, Republican governor-run states.”

Perry said more jobs would be created by lowering corporate and income taxes, and concluded his speech with a vow he’s made to several audiences during his campaign.

“I promise you one other thing,” he said. “I’ll get up every day to make government as inconsequential in your life as I can make it.”

Unions fight for jobs COGS members have fought for improved benefits for UI graduate students.

By AUDREY ROEN audrey-roen@uiowa.edu

Members of the Campaign to Organize Graduate Students and local union members marched last week in support of better graduate student compensation.

COGS leaders say fair job opportunities and guaranteed benefits remain an important cause and a continued fight for students.

“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 publicschool teacher that can join the Iowa State Education Association, the solidarity of Iowa’s public employees to protect our rights has never been m o r e n e c e s s a r y,” s a i d Kari Thompson, the COGS president, in a recent DI guest opinion.

Thompson and roughly 50 others from COGS and local union workers gathered wielding signs bearing the slogan “This is What Democracy Looks Like” and chanting on the Pedestrian Mall Oct. 7.

Local union members also participated in the march, encouraging Iowa legislators to pass job-creation programs.

“What we do is bargain collectively for all workers to have a better standard of living,” said Jana Smith Carr, the executive coordinator of the Communications Workers of America.

“We are here to try to show the community that we

Daren Seip and other protesters and union members stop near the railroad tracks by the Adler Journalism Building on Oct. 7. (The Daily Iowan/Christy Aumer) absolutely have to have jobs.”

And with the actions of numerous unions, students, and other groups organizing across the country, the stakes are high, said Rep. Mary Mascher, D-Iowa City, “The stakes are all or nothing now,” she said.

“They have to keep moving toward a collective goal and realize that if changes aren’t made, they will lose the battle and lose their rights.”

Protesters continued their march to the Iowa Avenue railroad bridge.

The group was also prompted by similar protests taking place that day, including the local “Occupy Iowa” movement.

Though COGS didn’t “formally endorse” the movement, Thompson said, the two organizations have similar principles — including more accessible health care and equal job opportunities.

“We all have one vote, and we are all one,” Thompson said.

Last year, COGS pressed to improve contractual agreements for University of Iowa graduate students that included increased salaries for teaching and research assistants and 100 percent coverage for tuition.

Audrey Altman, a UI grad student and COGS member, said it was her first time participating in a group demonstration.

“I wanted to help send out a public message [and] encourage people to march,” Altman said.

Smith Carr said the Communications Workers is a national union with approximately 700,000 members across the country in all different industries.

“What we know is that all of us cannot work against each other, we have to all work together,” Smith Carr said. “It’s going to take 99 percent of us to effect any change in the system.”

Iowa’s poor offensive execution against one of the nation’s best defenses spells doom for the Hawkeyes in Happy Valley.

By JORDAN GARRETSON jordan-garretson@uiowa.edu

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A visibly frustrated Marvin McNutt did his best to maintain his usual stoicism in the aftermath of defeat.

The senior receiver offered a grounded perspective after Iowa’s 13-3 loss at Penn State (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) on Oct. 8.

“We know we have a lot of

Field hockey wins 2 No. 17 Iowa defeated Ohio, 2-1, on Sunday in Athens, Ohio.

The win pushed the Hawkeyes to 10-3 overall. The Bobcats fell to 113, ending their five-game win streak.

Ohio’s Marissa Higgins put the Bobcats on the board first with a goal in the 27th minute, but the Scraper Hawkeyes were forward quick to strike back. Sophomore Kim Scraper scored unassisted just a minute later — her teamleading 16th goal of the season.

Brewers rally in NLCS MILWAUKEE — Needing a rally in the NL Championship Series opener, Milwaukee turned to its power duo of Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder, then got a clutch hit from Yuniesky Betancourt to beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 9-6.

Braun launched a two-run, 463foot homer in the first inning and added a two-run double during a six-run burst in the fifth. Fielder hit a two-run homer, and the typically light-hitting Betancourt added a two-run homer to cap the big comeback.

The atmosphere was tense even before the first pitch, as La Russa was showered with boos during pregame introductions. He calmly tipped his cap to the crowd.

Starter Zack Greinke struggled, but reliever Takashi Saito got Cardinal star Albert Pujols to ground into a key double play in the seventh. Francisco Rodriguez pitched a hitless eighth, and closer John Axford threw a hitless ninth for a save.

homer off Greinke in the fourth, and the Cardinals led 5-2 in the fifth.

But Milwaukee made it tough on Cardinal starter Jaime Garcia, who left after giving up Fielder’s homer. Garcia, who hit Fielder with a pitch earlier in the game, gave up 6 runs and six hits in four-plus innings with three walks. He took the loss.

Greinke earned the win despite his uneven outing, giving up 6 runs and eight hits in six-plus innings.

He left the game to a standing ovation after giving up a leadoff single to Rafael Furcal in the seventh.

The Cardinals took a three-run lead into the fifth before Garcia allowed a leadoff single to Corey Hart and a double to Jerry Hairston Jr. Braun hit a two-run, ground-rule double to right and with the crowd still saluting him, Fielder hit the first pitch from Garcia deep to right for a two-run homer, giving the Brewers the lead.

Fielder then showed off his repertoire of celebrations, giving the team’s “Beast Mode” gesture upon his arrival at home plate and exchanging mock knockout blows with Braun as he trotted back to the dugout.

That was it for Garcia, who left with no outs in the fifth.

goal in the second quarter marked Iowa’s only score.

The anemic 3-point output was the school’s lowest in a Big Ten game since a 31-0 loss to Illinois on Oct. 14, 2000. That was Kirk Ferentz’s second season as Iowa head coach, and the Hawkeyes finished 3-9.

Iowa entered Beaver Stadium boasting the Big Ten’s best passing offense, at 281.2 yards

per game. It left with 253 yards of total offense.

“I think it’s frustrating any time you only score a field goal.

We know we have to do more than that,” said quarterback James Vandenberg, who finished 17-of 34 for 169 yards.

His two interceptions were twice as many as he had thrown all season.

U N I V E R S I T Y PA R K , Pa . — T h e 2011 Iowa football team is still pretty damn difficult to evaluate after five games.

Iowa’s offense showed an explosiveness for one quarter against Pittsburgh and for four quarters against Louisiana-Monroe that hypnotized many.

For just a while, many thought they had these guys figured out. The Hawkeyes were a squad with an uncharacteristically high-powered passing attack. A squad that didn’t need to rely on lockdown performances from an inexperienced defense, but simply on timely stops when necessary.

Then Oct. 8 came, and so did a 13-3 loss at Penn State.

Quarterback James Vandenberg never found a solid rhythm. His receivers — the team’s most consistent group this season — couldn’t catch a pass when he needed it most. And too many times, the offensive line’s pass protection withered against unrelenting Penn State defensive pressure.

So just how good — or bad — are these Hawkeyes?

A poor second half causes the Hawkeyes to fall against the Gophers.

By CODY GOODWIN cody-goodwin@uiowa.edu

The Oct. 8 Iowa soccer game was a tale of two different halves for the Hawkeyes, who lost to Minnesota, 2-1.

Iowa (10-2-2, 2-2-2 Big Ten) overmatched Minnesota (5-7-2, 2-2-2) in the first half, using precise passing and a stout defensive effort to hold the Gophers scoreless through the first 45 minutes of play.

The Hawkeyes cap-

tured a 1-0 lead going into halftime with the help of a penalty shot in the 35th minute. Senior Morgan Showalter dribbled from midfield into the Minnesota box before she was tripped up for the foul.

“I saw Leah [DeMoss] making a run — she made room for people, and Cloé [Lacasse] ran across, ready for a pass,” Showalter said. “If I could’ve gotten to the endline and crossed it back, it would’ve worked — but

[the defender] got me a little sooner than that.”

Showalter placed the ball high in the center of the net for the goal.

That was the last time Iowa rejoiced on the soccer field — the second half was an entirely different story.

“We just didn’t come out exactly like we wanted to,” Showalter said.

“We came out with words, saying we wanted to [compete with Minnesota], and it just didn’t come

out. We talked and didn’t do.”

Iowa’s defense continued to play well against the Gopher’s offensive attack, contesting each of Minnesota’s 14 shots in the game. But lack of communication on the field led to miscues and mistakes for the Hawkeyes early in the second half.

The Hawkeyes will begin their Big Ten season on Oct. 20 at Madison.

By BEN ROSS benjamin-d-ross@uiowa.edu

This past weekend marked the beginning of the men’s swimming and diving season, when the swimmers competed in the team’s annual Black and Gold intrasquad meet. The Gold side earned bragging rights, defeating the Black squad, 108-91, in the Campus Wellness & Recreation Center.

The meet — which serves as a warmup to the regular season — has plenty of competitive spirit among the swimmers — the teams are selected by captains Ryan Phelan, Paul Gordon, and Kyle Noser in schoolyard fashion. Phelan combined with Gordon to choose the Gold team, and Noser picked the Black.

The meet consisted of 11

events, with both the men and women competing in alternate heats. Even though the meet only serves as a preseason exhibition, head swimming and diving coach Marc Long said he believes the performance his swimmers gave is a solid indication on how the team will fare throughout the season.

“It’s a good reflection of how our team is coming together,” the eight-year head coach said. “It’s [still] early — I mean, the divers aren’t even diving yet. But it’s definitely an indication of our enthusiasm and how the team is coming together. It’s a long road, and this is a great start.”

Phelan, one of four Hawkeye All-Americans, competed well for the Gold squad. He set a pool

record in the 50 freestyle — an event he was runner-up in the Big Ten in last year — with a time of 20.20.

Sophomore Manuel Belzer was the star for the Black squad; the native of Germany led his team to victory in the 500 and 1,000 freestyle with times of 4:32.49 and 9.28.35, respectively.

Phelan said he was excited that he and other teammates set pool records at the event but noted that there is a larger task at hand.

“Times don’t mean a lot now,” the senior said. “It’s just the fact that we are racing … it’s great that progress was made today. A woman on our team [Becky Stoughton] broke three records today, which is pretty nice to see this early

on, but there are bigger goals towards the end of the year that we are really looking at.”

Iowa will return to action on Oct. 20, when it travels to Madison to take on the Badgers. Senior AllAmerican Duncan Partridge said he was happy with the team’s overall results at the intrasquad meet, and that he thinks the attitude his team showed bodes well for the rest of the season.

“I feel really good,” the Lake Forest, Ill., native said. “I’m really happy with everybody’s times. We set a lot of records today. We did a lot of fast racing; it was really fun and enjoyable. I feel really good going to Wisconsin — if we can carry that attitude throughout the season, it will be a big help.”

Frosh shines in Black & Gold Freshman Becky Stoughton sets three pool records in her college début.

By TORK MASON tork-mason@uiowa.edu

It was a record-setting weekend for the women’s swim team.

Three pool records were set by the Iowa women’s swimming and diving team, all by Black team freshman Becky Stoughton. Her efforts weren’t enough for her team, though, as the Gold Team took the meet by a 108-91 score.

The Peoria, Ill., native set records in the 1,000, 500, and 200 freestyle and did so in dominating fashion.

In the 1,000 freestyle, she finished nearly a full lap ahead of fellow freshman Hillary Weigland. Her time of 9:59.02 was the fourth-best in school history. She followed that performance in the next race by posting Iowa’s ninthbest time ever in the 200 freestyle. Her time of 4:53.42 in the 500 freestyle was also good for fourthbest in school history.

“It’s great. It’s outstanding,” head coach Marc Long said. “It’s definitely encouraging and exciting for the future.”

The answer lies between the hyperbole.

Iowa’s offense isn’t nearly as inept as the Nittany Lions’ defense (No. 4 nationally, allowing an average of 250.8 yards game) often made it look on Oct. 8. But don’t expect to see the dynamism that gleamed in Iowa’s 21point comeback against Pittsburgh, or in its 35-17 drubbing of Monroe, on a weekly basis.

“In our program, none of us have claimed that we’ve done anything significant,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said following Saturday’s loss at Beaver Stadium. “We haven’t climbed any mountains yet.”

The Hawkeye defense — though inexperienced — isn’t exactly built from papier-mâché, though it looked that way in a 44-41 loss at Iowa State last month.

For a group that lost four players to the NFL draft along with other 2010 starters, it has progressed steadily from the embarrassing performance in which it surrendered 473 yards to the Cyclones.

Still, Iowa won’t end the season with a defense ranked anywhere near the nation’s top-25 units, like it has in each of the past three seasons.

If that much wasn’t already clear before the Hawkeyes visited Happy Valley, it was after Penn State running backs Silas Redd and Curtis Dukes both registered new single-game career-bests in rushing yards (142 and 60, respectively). “[Redd is] a good back, and I’m trying to remember the last time Penn State didn’t have good backs. Nothing different there,” Ferentz said. “We have some things we have to get better at, clearly.

Just fundamental things, defensive tackling is a big thing.”

Fortunately for the Hawkeyes, they’re not the only Big Ten team with issues to address. The crucial part will be which teams can correct their respective issues first.

“The sky isn’t falling. There are seven games left,” linebacker Tyler Nielsen said. “There’s not a team on our schedule that we can’t compete with and can’t beat. There’s a lot of football left. If we clean things up, we’ll be all right.”

“It’s just little things that we have to clean up,” he said. “Missed throws, missed assignments, dropped passes, they all add up. We were just too inconsistent today, starting with my play.”

In the team’s first two drives, yards looked as though they would be much easier to come by. Iowa gained 119 yards on 23 plays, chewing up 10:51 of clock.

The Hawkeyes ran 41 more plays during the game, tallying only 134 yards. They crossed into Penn State territory only once in the second half.

While Vandenberg and Company noted their poor execution, they also made sure to dole out plenty of praise for the Nittany Lions’ defensive showing.

McNutt said they simply “brought the intensity and made plays when they needed to.”

Penn State’s defense is allowing 250.8 yards a game, the fourth-best mark in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

“I think it was a lot more of what they were doing,” Vandenberg said. “… They did a good job of mixing up coverages and taking some stuff away from us that maybe we were used to getting. Their whole defensive scheme was good, and they tackled well all day. That makes it hard.”

The challenge of facing a seemingly impenetrable Nittany Lions defense — a staple of the 45-plus seasons Joe Paterno has served as head coach — was nothing new to Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz.

Ferentz was 11 years old during Paterno’s first season as Penn State head coach in 1966.

“They’ve been playing good defense since at least the late-60s,” Ferentz said. “… They’re aggressive, they’re a tough group, and they really make you earn it.

That’s exactly what we experienced today, and we weren’t good enough to finish some drives.”

DAILYIOWAN.COM Log on for an exclusive photo slide show and multimedia piece from Iowa’s 13-3 loss to Penn State.

head coach Ron Rainey said. “I don’t think we sat back, but in the second half, we allowed them to attack us. Then we made a couple of crucial errors that led to chances for them.

“We got the one-goal lead, and instead of continuing to attack and playing with confidence, I feel like we got concerned about defending it.”

One mistake Rainey pointed out proved extremely costly in the 50th minute of the game.

Poor passing by the Iowa defense resulted in a turnover, when Minnesota freshman Taylor Uhl — the Gopher’s leading scorer this season — stole the ball

and took it right down the field to tie the game.

Another error gave the Gophers the lead In the 68th minute. Minnesota freshman Becca Roberts stole another poorly passed ball from the Hawkeye defense, and some fancy footwork aided her journey down the field to net the goahead goal.

Iowa had a chance to punch in the game-tying goal in the 78th minute, when Minnesota goalie Cat Parkhill came out of the goal to attack the ball.

Lacasse chipped the ball over Parkhill and watched the ball roll toward the net, but Gopher junior Marissa Price chased it down and kicked it away from danger just before the ball crossed the goal line.

“We need to generate more chances if we want to

score that second goal,” Rainey said.

Iowa goalkeeper Emily Moran was saddled with only her second loss of the season, but she recorded five saves to push her season total to 59.

She admitted the Oct. 8 performance wasn’t the team’s best.

“We just have to try to defend the goal a little more,” she said. “We just have to keep working as a team and pushing through.”

Despite the mistakes, Moran remained optimistic the team will learn from the loss and continue to move forward.

“We’ll work on [passing] in practice,” she said. “We can make those passes, and we know that. We’re going to be fine.”

QUOTED ‘Crisis? Like a tsunami or a hurricane or a tornado?

Nobody got killed out there, right? I think we’re safe.’

— Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz when asked if the Hawkeyes have an identity crisis.

‘I don’t know. We just couldn’t get anything done. We obviously have stuff to work on.’

— Iowa kicker Mike Meyer on the Hawkeyes’ lack of offense.

‘We tried to play Iowa like every other game. We tried not to make it a personal match. But you know what — I think everyone in the back of his mind was thinking, “We’ve got to beat Iowa for the past couple of years. They really rained on our seasons.” It was a big game, not only for this season but for what they’ve done the past seasons to us.’

— Penn State linebacker Glenn Carson.

T

he Hawkeyes entered Happy Valley on a threegame winning streak against Penn State, and it had won eight of the last nine meetings. But a physical Nittany Lion pass defense, combined with a mediocre showing by the normally high-powered Iowa offense, slammed the brakes on the streak. Penn State only scored one touchdown, but that was more than enough to win, 13-3.

Iowa’s only points came on a second-quarter field goal from 23 yards out.

The Hawkeyes accumulated 119 yards in their first two possessions but managed only 134 the rest of the game. James Vandenberg was picked off twice and sacked five times. Iowa’s defense couldn’t stop Silas Redd and the rest of the Penn State running game from wracking up 231 yards on the ground. The Black and Gold’s most productive player was punter Eric Guthrie.

Following the game, Penn State linebacker Glenn Carson — who had made headlines by calling Iowa a “wrestling school” — said the win provided a sense of retribution for Iowa’s past domination of the series.

“Everyone in the back of his mind was thinking, ‘We’ve got to beat Iowa for the past couple of years.

They really rained on our seasons,’ ” he said. “It was a big game, not only for this season but for what they’ve done the past seasons to us.”

Penn State shredded Iowa’s defense on a 90-yard march down the field in the third quarter and faced a third-and-five at the Hawkeye 6-yard line. Quarterback Matt McGloin dropped back to the 15 and lofted the ball toward 6-5 receiver Derek Moye on the left side of the end zone, but 6-1 cornerback Micah Hyde boxed out the big wideout and came down with the ball. At the time, it seemed as if Hyde’s third interception of the season would turn the tide in Iowa’s favor.

Iowa crossed midfield following Hyde’s pick and resulting touchback but faced third-and-long after a James Vandenberg incompletion. The Hawkeye quarterback took the snap out of the shotgun, but offensive linemen Matt Tobin and Riley Reiff failed to block blitzing linebacker Gerald Hodges. The junior knocked Vandenberg down from behind and the ball popped loose; the Nittany Lions recovered easily and used the short field to score the only touchdown of the game.

PENN STATE GAME BALL MATT MCGLOIN Coach Joe Paterno has toyed with the idea of using two quarterbacks all season long, but McGloin emerged as the clear favorite to earn the permanent spot with a 12-for-19 performance. While the rushing game carried the Nittany Lion attack, McGloin threw for the only touchdown of the game — and all three of fellow quarterback Rob Bolden’s completions came after the ball was tipped in some fashion.

THUMBS UP Eric Guthrie. The Hawkeye punter was called upon four times and averaged 39.5 yards per punt. Two of his boots went for 49 yards, and two of them landed inside the 20-yard line. None of them went for touchbacks.

THUMBS DOWN The offense. James Vandenberg threw two interceptions, fumbled once, and was sacked five times — three of them coming in Iowa’s final drive of the game — to erase what would otherwise have been a nice day on the ground. Marcus Coker ran 18 times for 74 yards, about half as many as Penn State counterpart Silas Redd. Marvin McNutt was targeted seven times but only caught four passes.

LOOK AHEAD Iowa will try to rectify its offensive issues by the time it takes the field against Northwestern on Saturday. The Wildcats have defeated the Hawkeyes in three-straight years, although they are 0-2 in Big Ten play this season.

The Northwestern defense picked off Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson three times in the first half on Oct. 8 but didn’t show up after halftime and lost to the Wolverines, 42-24. The game was the second in a row that the Wildcats have coughed up large leads in the second half despite the best efforts of quarterback Dan Persa (42-for-58, 454 yards, four touchdowns in two conference starts this year).

NO. 11 PURDUE 3, IOWA 0; IOWA 3, INDIANA 2

V-ball notches Big Ten win

Golfers seek consistency The Lady Northern Intercollegiate will provide a sneak peek into Big Ten action for the women’s golfers.

The Iowa volleyball team is pleased with its first Big Ten win and low number of hitting errors but disappointed in the number of service errors over the weekend.

BY MOLLY IRENE OLMSTEAD molly-olmstead@uiowa.edu

The Iowa volleyball team tallied only 29 attack errors in eight sets this weekend but committed 16 mistakes on services.

The low number of hitting errors boosted the Hawkeyes (11-8, 1-5 Big Ten) to their first Big Ten win, defeating Indiana on Oct. 7, 3-2 (25-14, 20-25, 2521, 16-25, 15-13). But service errors knocked Iowa down the next day, and the team lost, 30, to No. 11 Purdue on Oct. 8 (19-25, 13-25, 21-25).

“Going into the match [against Indiana], I thought the team with the most kills at the end would win,” head coach Sharon Dingman said.

“But I was wrong. I didn’t anticipate us only having 16 errors. The difference was hitting percentage, for sure.”

Iowa hit .231 against Indiana and .229 against Purdue, the team’s two highest per-

centages in its Big Ten season.

No. 6 Nebraska is the only other team to hit over .200 against the Boilermakers.

“That’s why we had a chance in the first and third set — we were low-error,” assistant coach Jason Allen said. “We were making them play a lot of volleyball and got them on their heels a lot. I don’t think they expected that; they were thinking we’d be a lot more high-error.”

Sophomore outside hitter Rachel Bedell contributed heavily to Iowa’s high percentage against Purdue.

Bedell only played in the third set, but she dominated at the net with nine kills and no errors. She finished with a .562 attack percentage.

“She became a go-to player right when she came off the bench,” setter Nikki Dailey said. “Lately, Rachel’s been coming off the bench really strong, so I knew from the start

she was prepared. Her first swing, she had high hands and scored, so I just knew I was going to her again and again until they stopped her.”

Bedell said the team has practiced being consistent at the net and lowering the number of hitting errors in each game.

“Our main point is if you just make a lot fewer errors, it’s harder for the team to come back,” Bedell said.

“We’ve been focusing on not giving away points to the other team. It’s something we’ve been working on all season, so it was great to see it work on the court.”

Although pleased with the few hitting errors and highattack percentage, Dingman said she was disappointed with the number of service errors over the weekend.

Iowa lost its final set to Purdue by 4 points but made five errors while serving.

“In a set you lose by 4 and you error five times behind the service line on balls that you’re really not going after that hard, that’s pretty disappointing,” said Allen, who works with the team on serving. “To be that close, we just couldn’t build anything. We couldn’t get any momentum because we couldn’t keep the ball in play.”

Dingman and Allen said they were disappointed because the service errors made weren’t the result of aggressive serving but “egregious” errors — hitting into the net or far out of bounds.

“Clearly, our inability to stop Purdue — not even stop, we couldn’t even slow Purdue’s offense down — that was a real problem,” Dingman said. “Part of that goes back to serving. We didn’t serve aggressively, and we had a lot of service errors … We just got eaten up there.”

The Iowa women’s golf team will start the home stretch of its fall schedule today at the Lady Northern Intercollegiate tournament in French Lick, Ind. The tournament will host seven other Big Ten teams and Iowa State.

Head coach Megan Menzel said she feels the tournament will provide a good test for the team and hopes the Hawkeyes will continue to build on the success they’ve had this season.

“I feel very good about where we are — I think we definitely haven’t played our best golf yet,” she said. “We’ve had some good rounds and individual performances at times, but I don’t feel like we’ve put it together as a team. I’m hoping we get stronger in that area, starting this week.”

Menzel said the team needs Menzel to focus on its short game in head coach order to make those improvements occur. She said it’s an area that will make a team more consistent, even when the players are not hitting the ball well.

Junior Gigi DiGrazia and freshman Shelby Phillips have demonstrated the idea. Phillips ranks seventh nationally in average putts per round; DiGrazia is ranked 23rd in putting average, 26th in up-and-downs, and 36th in total short game.

The Hawkeyes have third- and 12th-place finishes to their name at the midway point of the season, and DiGrazia said she and her teammates feel they have something to prove to their conference foes this week.

“We definitely want to compete in the Big Ten, and this is the preview for what we’ll see in the spring,” DiGrazia said. “So we definitely want to go out and show the rest of the Big Ten what Iowa is all about. It’s a new team and a new year.”

Junior Kristi Cardwell said she felt it’s been an “awesome” season so far, although it could have been better. Senior Chelsea Harris agreed, noting that he team left several strokes on the course at the Dick McGuire Invitational last month in Albuquerque, N.M. Harris said she wants the team to commit to every shot this week and that Hawkeyes should finish well if they play to their potential.

DiGrazia said she expects that to happen soon.

“I know our best golf is yet to come, which is exciting because we’ve put up some good numbers,” she said. “We shot a round under 300 — but that’s not even our best yet.”

We hold these truths to be self-evident (and a little nerdy): • Somebody really needs to explain the concept of infinity to Buzz Lightyear.

• The Justice League of America will always be able to edge out the Avengers in heavy traffic because the League has the Green Arrow.

• “Hoboken” sounds not so much like a city as it does a martial art honed to perfection by generations of the destitute.

• I like Ultimate Frisbee because there aren’t nearly as many continuity issues as there are in the original Frisbee.

• Paramount missed a golden opportunity by not marketing its Chris Pine Star Trek reboot as Star Trek: Control+Z. • Far too many people think ligers are cooler than tigons, and it’s simply not true.

• Ever wonder if Clark Kent is circumcised? I’m guessing he’s not.

• How does Obi Wan know the Sand People are easily startled? I like to imagine him stalking the desert wastes of Tatooine with a balloon, a sewing needle, and a rakish grin.

• You know who would win in a fight between Alien and Wolverine? It doesn’t matter. Because, consider this: despite his adamantium skeleton (just go with me here, fanboys), Wolverine’s floating ribs could allow for a chestburster to grow inside and exit his body through his lower ribcage; but Wolverine’s healing factor means that, probably, seriously, Wolverine could actually LIVE THROUGH A CHESTBURSTER, then FIGHT THAT ALIEN a little while later. And that’s so cool it doesn’t even matter who would win. How has this crossover never happened!?

Monday Oct. 10 — by Eugenia Last

ARIES March 21-April 19 Impulsive action will not bring good results. You must avoid arguments. A relationship may be on the line if you cannot bring yourself to compromise or to see both sides of a situation you face. Now is not the time to make a drastic life change.
