UI cooperated in Hunnninghake probe, official says University of Iowa spokesman Tom Moore says the UI fully cooperated with the Iowa Board of Medicine’s investigation of former UI medical Professor Gary Hunninghake prior to his settlement.

Hunninghake, 65, of Coralville voluntarily surrendered his Iowa medical license after entering a $10,000 settlement agreement with the Board of Medicine on Oct. 13, according to a press release from the board.

The release said the board charged Hunninghake with viewing pictures of nude children and other inappropriate sexual material on the Internet while in the workplace, having a sexual relationship with a subordinate female staff member, and accessing her medical records without an appropriate medical purpose, violating appropriate professional boundaries with another subordinate female staff member, inappropriately prescribing medications for himself, and filing a false police report in Chicago.

Regents to ask for tuition hike

The driver of a MegaBus transporting people from Chicago to Iowa City and Des Moines has been arrested for drunken driving, according to the PressCitizen.

A complaint from the State Patrol said Carl Smiley, 52, of Chicago, was charged Oct. 21 with second-offense OWI. The complaint said a state trooper observed a bus traveling west on Interstate 80 and allegedly failing to maintain a lane, prompting a traffic stop.

Upon contact with the trooper, Smiley allegedly smelled strongly of alcohol and admitted he had been drinking.

However, City Manager Tom Markus and Parks and Recreation Director Mike Moran told protesters the occupation was no longer deemed “spontaneous” last week and asked them to sign a permit that would allow them to occupy the

University of Iowa Student Government leaders and state officials said students should continue to reach out to their legislators to come up with solutions for rising tuition, following a proposal for further tuition increases by the state Board of Regents on Oct. 21.

The regents propose a 3.75 percent tuition increase for in-state undergraduate students and a 4.75 percent increase for out-of-state undergraduate students. The regents will also propose a 3.8 percent tuition increase for in-state graduate students during their meeting in Cedar Falls on Wednesday and Thursday.

In the 2011-12 school year, in-state tuition increased 5 percent, and out-ofstate tuition increased 6 percent.

And though student government leaders have lobbied legislators heavily throughout the past year for more state appropriations, student officials said Sunday they plan to launch an

Occupy Iowa City demonstrators said they have agreed to sign a permit that would allow them to continue to legally occupy College Green Park.

Though some protesters had previously told The Daily Iowan they had reservations about obtaining a permit to continue protesting, others said they felt they should obtain a permit, because city officials have been

cooperative with them.

“Nobody came here to fight with City Hall. [City officials are] being cooperative with us; we should be cooperative with them, because they’re not really the enemy,” outreach committee member Stephanie Hoffelt said on Sunday. “We didn’t camp here because of an issue with the city; we camped here because we have issues with bigger fish.”

Clinton warns Iran ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Iran should not misread the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq as affecting the U.S. commitment to the fledgling democracy, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Sunday.

President Obama’s announcement Oct. 21 that all American troops would return from Iraq by the end of the year will close a chapter on U.S.-Iraq relations that began in 2003 with the U.S.-led invasion to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

Washington has long worried that meddling by Iran, a Shiite Muslim theocracy, could inflame tensions between Iraq’s Shiite-led government and its minority Sunnis, setting off a chain reaction of violence and disputes across the Mideast.

Rodham Clinton said in a series of news show interviews that the U.S. would continue its training mission with Iraq and that it would

resemble operations in Colombia and elsewhere.

While the U.S. will not have combat troops in Iraq, she said the American presence would remain strong because of its bases in the region.

“Iran would be badly miscalculating if it did not look at the entire region and all of our presence in many countries in the region, both in bases, in training, with NATO allies, such as Turkey,” she told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” about fears of civil war in Iraq after U.S. troops leave, Rodham Clinton said, “Well, let’s find out. … We know that the violence is not going to automatically end.”

She noted: “No one should miscalculate America’s resolve and commitment to helping support the Iraqi democracy. We have paid too high a price to give the Iraqis this chance. And I hope that Iran and no one else miscalculates that.”

In an interview released Oct. 22, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tehran has “a very good relationship” with Iraq’s government and said the relationship will continue to grow.

The timeline for U.S. troop withdrawals had been agreed to by President George W. Bush and Iraqi leaders. Obama had campaigned for the presidency with the promise to end America’s war in Iraq.

For months, the Obama administration negotiated with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and other Iraqi officials to extend the stay of troops and to build permanent bases. Both sides saw advantages to keeping several thousand U.S. troops in Iraq as part of a training mission, but there was also strong opposition in the United States and Iraq for the American troops to stay.

nation.

Greg Forristall, R-Macedonia, the chairman of the House Education Committee said the solution to reducing tuition increases is finding alternative ways to maintain a high level of education without adding cost.

“Raising tuition forever is not acceptable — it has to be affordable,” he said.

“We have to find ways to have an even better education but do it with less money.”

Forristall said students need to approach legislators with innovative ideas rather than ask for more state funding.

Though Markus could not be reached for comment Sunday evening, he told the DI protesters would eventually need to obtain a permit.

“At some point, the spontaneous provision runs out,” he said. “… I think that the average person would contend that after a certain period of time, it’s time to move on to the next stage. The next stage would be a permit.”

Though protesters initially disagreed on the matter — saying it would be pointless to abide by city laws if they were protesting against them —

tors with other innovative ideas for a higher education,” he said. “I want people to be thinking outside of the box.”

Regent President Pro Tem Bruce Rastetter said tuition is continually increasing because the inflation of costs the universities incur to run the institutions, and there are a variety of cost factors.

“It is more expensive to manage the universities and to continue providing excellence in education,” Rastetter said, adding that he encourages students to lobby and support the regents’ plans.

protesters said they decided to sign after much consideration.

“We had a long debate with the city manager and the director of parks,” said UI sophomore William Kresse. “We met with them many times, and we discussed in great detail, and that was passed, we will get a permit.”

Protesters said city officials will deliver the permit to College Green at 9 a.m. today to be signed by participants.

Once the permit has been signed, protesters said, it is undetermined how the protest will proceed.

“Basically, we now just need to figure out what that permit will allow us to do, what constraints the permit might put on us, if

Iowans why the university is important to all Iowans and their daily lives and can help create economic and quality economic opportunities for Iowans across the state,” he said.

Appel said students want to pursue more education to in turn help provide the state with more services, but they face challenges with incurring debt and loans.

“Any type of engagement that students can engage in such as coming to us and telling us your story so we can put them in contact with a legislator to show how the University of Iowa truly affects the state of Iowa,” he said.

OMG Herman Cain

Does Ron Paul’s plan to eliminate the Education Department have merit?

Yes So what reasons could there possibly be for shutting down a federal department that helps kids get an education?

This was one of the topics U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, RTexas, spoke on in the IMU on Oct. 21.

Paul turned heads last week after he announced his deficit plan, which would cut $1 trillion from the federal budget and eliminate five federal departments in his first year in office. One of them is the U.S. Department of Education, which has caused big-government liberals dramatically flip out, crying over the poor little children who will be stupid and ill-prepared for the real world, and all because of those evil Republicans.

What has the Education Department done for you lately? Basically nothing, unless you consider wasting billions of taxpayer dollars an accomplishment.

The department’s budget has exploded to six times its original amount from its inception in 1979. At the same time, scores in reading, math, and science have flatlined.

For some reason, $79 billion in just fiscal 2011 didn’t do the job. It is unfathomable how the argument for increased federal education spending is a logical one.

An analysis of the department’s budget by the Cato Institute shows that 97 percent of its outlays go back to the states as aid. Why must there be this shell game, just to have a small portion taken off the top for the 4,400 people employed and their unions?

And consider this: A family friend of mine (just trust me, please) is a former School Board member of the Dubuque School District. In one of our conversations, I had asked him what the influence of the Education Department was like on his day-to-day decisions. I was expecting some response as to how its claws restricted them from having any freedom in their choices for their schools, but what I got surprised me. “It has no influence at all,” he told me.

The department is entirely superfluous bureaucracy.

I must admit I was shocked. It led me to do some more research on the topic and watch some great documentaries like Waiting for Superman. The data back up the position of abolition.

The states already have the infrastructure to absorb an elimination of the federal department. Return the authority to the states, and you will see a positive change.

— Joe Schueller

No The U.S. Department of Education, while currently flawed, is an invaluable tool in maintaining national curriculum standards and facilitating affordable higher education student-loans. Education experts are skeptical about Rep. Ron Paul’s plan to eliminate the Education Department, and it’s easy to see their point.

First and foremost, the department manages the logistics behind many subsidized student-loan programs. While many might ideologically and fundamentally detest this practice of government assistance, others will see an ever-growing need to make higher education an affordable offering through the form of government intervention. Thus, the department aids in making school loans more affordable, most specifically through Stafford Loan programs.

Perhaps more importantly, though, the department guides a loose set of national curriculum standards.

While individual states are granted some freedom in setting curriculum and governing performance standards, the Education Department maintains a core national standard which prevents gross imbalances.

This model guarantees that students in generally underachieving states still receive a quality education and at least a basic set of curricula.

Although the department clearly has its merits, it’s still in dire need of reform and reorganization. Like many federal departments and agencies, the Education Department is bloated and muddled in meaningless bureaucracy. And while the existence of proficiency standards tests is presumably necessary, it’s important we as a nation don’t come to rely only upon them to gauge what young Americans need. This is eminently clear and remains a particularly glaring note for the Education Department, after years of pursuing a willfully ignorant policy under the misnomer “No Child Left Behind.” Still, revile and revision would accurately reflect the dues owed to the Education Department rather than straightforward abolishment.

Clearly, there’s a rational basis for discussion over the Constitutionality of the Education Department. This discussion, however, represents something of a Pandora’s Box to a writer and simply cannot be argued succinctly neither for nor against. Put simply, make your own informed decision.

In any case, as it’s now structured, the Education Department does exactly what it’s supposed to do: make access to education easier for Americans of all ages.

Unfortunately, it’s just not as efficient as it should be at this point in time.

— Matt Heinze Your turn. Should the Education Department be abolished?

A critique of Occupy Iowa City coverage The Daily Iowan is hurting its image and losing credibility by its continued sensationalized coverage of the Occupy Iowa City movement.

What first made me scratch my head was the decision to include a nationwide map with Iowa City labeled as the hub of the

Midwest for the protests.

Really? When an interested but uninvolved citizen drives by College Green Park and sees fewer protesters than drunk students outside of a mid-tier bar on a Thursday school night, it really makes one wonder what agenda the DI is trying to push on its readers.

Comparisons with Vietnam protests that numbered over 3,000 protesters con-

tinue this biased trend to make the Occupy movement appear to be on a scale that it is clearly not.

Look, many readers sympathize with the movement and would agree it deserves a reasonable amount of coverage. But to hype it up to be something that it is clearly not gives the impression that the DI has a distinct political agenda.

Furthermore, it also sets up

interested people for severe disappointment when they discover how far apart the reality of the movement in Iowa City is from the coverage it is receiving.

Occupy Iowa City has a chance to become big, but don’t misguide readers into believing it is an international hub of protest on the same level as Wall Street.

CHRIS STEINKE csteinke25@gmail.com

I was walking behind the personification of Iowa Republicans — decent butt, 6 out of 10 — yesterday and I saw it drop a piece a little piece of paper. I would’ve surely returned the document if I wasn’t a perpetual ass, but I am, so I read it.

It was mostly chicken scratch and was sprinkled with hearts and other cutesy doodles.

Written at the top of the page, in big bold letters, was “OMG I’m so hot for Herman Cain.”

So I kept reading. I found it touching, disturbing, and bit scandalous. I’m sure you will, too. Here is the .html version: “OMG I’m so hot for Herman Cain.

Why won’t he talk to me more?

At the beginning of the year, I was like, ‘So he’s just like, a black [Sen.] Rick Santorum with extra pepperoni?’

But now I think he’s the cutest candidate running. [According to a poll by the University of Iowa] 37 percent of me wants him grab the White House by the throat and get deep inside, like, now.

I think I like him more than [Gov.] Mitt Romney. He’s at 27 percent. He acts like I don’t even exist. I think he’s super attractive, but I don’t think he likes me back. You know what? He can go hit on New Hampshire skanks all he wants.

I’m sure they love his stupid health-care plan, which is basically Obamacare, anyway.

At 12 percent, [Rep.] Ron Paul’s my third favorite. He’s super old, though. Plus he won’t pay for my ethanol, which is a huge turnoff. Plus he’s super old.

I do love his no-abortions-ever-allowed pickup lines. He’s so old, though. I need a man that will mount my podiums and toss me around like a rag doll.

Herman Cain can do that. I love that ol’-time Southern drawl he has.

If I was ordering pizza and I heard his voice on the other line, I would ask for extra, extra meat.

He used to be the CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, which is a pretty big deal. He will know exactly how to negotiate peace with enemy foreign leaders because he correctly priced a buffet for a mid-grade Midwestern pizza chain. He’s done lots of political stuff for the restaurant industry.

You know how restaurants make tons of money from alcohol sales? Yeah, that’s why he lobbied to keep the drunk driving BAC limit at .10 instead of .08 in 1996.

And you know all those wannabe-parasites from Mexico? He wants them to die, one way or another. So hot.

Herman Cain won’t let little-girl things like morality and human lives get in the way of leading this country to greatness.

Greatness is never surrendering to stupid terrorists. He knows that establishing limpwristed timetables for the withdrawal from Iraq is basically the same thing as surrendering. He said so in 2007 lots of times.

What else is greatness? Greatness is super simple tax plans like 9-9-9. This one’s a no-brainer. I’m surprised nobody has ever thought of this.

[Editor’s note: It was the default tax system in SimCity 4]. The current tax system is so stupid. It’s as if it wasn’t based on extensive research of historical indicators at all.

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to notice him. Maybe it’s ’cause he’s playing hard to get. Before he was slobbering over me almost as hard as Santorum’s desperate ass, but now he is scheduled to hit on me only two more times this year.

Sure, I have a crush now, but if he wants me to get him off, um, to a good start, he will have to show me that he’s interested.”

Personification of Iowa Republicans, if you’re reading this, I have some advice for you.

Right now, Cain isn’t that interested because you have low standards — Mike Huckabee?

C’mon.

Make sure you look deep into his heart, his platform, and make sure it’s not absolutely batshit crazy.

Also, squats.

Guest opinion

Iowa City is favoring the wrong businesses Iowa City is not conducive for new business startups. The primary reason for this, as I have studied over the past two years, is the local business community’s complacence in supporting innovation. We have only ourselves to blame.

After graduating from the University of Iowa with a master’s in industrial engineering, I started a company for helping startups through business planning and engineering design. For the past two years, I have not been able to find sensible space in the Iowa City downtown for any of my clients. Whether a client intended to set up a linguistic institute or a design firm, the rents

demanded by landlords have been exorbitant. Only bars can afford such rates.

Many landlords are disinterested to even make basic improvements to upper floors so that the space is sanitary, accessible, and upto-code. Lost rent because of vacancy is negligible to what the bars rake in.

There is simply no business in downtown that is concerned with innovation through community building. This image certainly isn’t inviting for tech and creative startups.

I’ve been negotiating for an entire year with a number of landlords for a media production lab with a performance/gallery space for coworking called Mon Studio (French for “My Studio”

so that all artists can claim it to be theirs). I haven’t been able to persuade them to have compassion for persons with disabilities and the elderly even when I will take care of funding, design, and construction of an elevator. Such abject lack of empathy or even sympathy for human beings while purporting to be a heritage to the city or being “for the people” is the simple reason local citizens are rightfully disgruntled.

The argument has never been against capitalism, nor the concept of governance, but against the deep-seated emptiness in the hearts of those “esteemed’ individuals who make their enormous profits off our hard-earned sav-

ings while deceiving us into believing that they are truly in our service. Such apathetic people who hold power are not unique to Iowa City or Wall Street or the United States. Such individuals are dispersed across the world. No institution can make such individuals erudite and ethically responsible.

Elected bodies do play a key role in setting public policies and ensuring that ideals and values sifted through rigorous reasoning prevail in our society. However, I feel that individuals play a more important role than civic institutions in constructing a society, because each individual is an institution within heror himself. It is our respon-

sibility to freely accept our role in society and work toward shared prosperity and peace that emerges from the concerted efforts of able, meritorious individuals. What can any of us gain by being self-centered misanthropes?

The movements gaining momentum across the world are a welcome sign of restoration, a restoration of ideals embedded in the welfare of humanity while denouncing gains made through pretense. They are also a sign of innovation, a contemporary model for using web-enabled technologies to promote a sense of community and collaboration. It is sad that such ideals would seem too grand and burdensome to

so many bars, banks, etc., who provide a gleaming image of how their business is in the true service of local citizens.

It is a shame that we keep getting hoodwinked by their marketing. The fact that many of us are drunk and doped off their product could explain our subservience and even our paralysis to do something genuine about our hapless situation.

Our first steps should be to let our conscience, free of intoxicants and toxins of indifference, wholly occupy our being before we march toward occupying any physical setting.

TAKING IN THE TRASH

(THE DAILY IOWAN/RICKY BAHNER)

Students gather in Hubbard Park to participate in a large water-pong tournament Sunday. The game, dubbed “Trash Ball,” divides players into two teams throwing basketballs into large trashcans. The tournament featured four divisions — a sorority, fraternity, Dance Marathon, and open division.

Proceeds from the winning sorority and fraternity were donated to a charity of the winning team’s choice. Pi Kappa Alpha members Keaton Rickels and Nevin Vijh said they created the game while playing with basketballs. Rickels said the two hope to make it an annual event.

Marcus Coker reeled off a 41-yard run during the second quarter, establishing a new season-long run for the sophomore.

Jordan Bernstine returned a kickoff 62 yards in the third quarter for Iowa, the Hawkeyes’ longest return of the season.

With members of the Indiana secondary confused by Iowa’s crossing routes on second down late in the first quarter, James Vandenberg found Marvin McNutt all alone scampering down Kinnick Stadium’s east sideline. No Hoosiers came within 10 yards of McNutt as he strode 80 yards into the end zone, passing Tim Dwight and Danan Hughes as Iowa’s all-time leader in receiving touchdowns.

Marvin McNutt had already caught two passes for touchdowns as the first half neared its end, but he added a third 16 seconds before halftime. McNutt ran a fade route to the end zone and beat Indiana’s one-on-one coverage, and James Vandenberg sailed the ball in to let McNutt leap up and grab it. The ensuing extra point let Iowa enter the locker room with a 35-14 lead.

Recap

ded

T

he fourth-quarter magic Iowa needed to beat Indiana in 2009 and 2010 wasn’t necessary in 2011. The Hawkeyes reached the end zone on all five of their first-half possesions, distancing themselves early from the Hoosiers before eventually winning by the 45-24 final score.

All eyes were on senior receiver Marvin McNutt, whose 80-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter put him past Tim Dwight and Danan Hughes as Iowa’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions. The St. Louis native added two more before the first half ended, completing scoring plays of 24 and 29 yards, respectively.

McNutt finished with a career-high 184 receiving yards.

As much as McNutt and the Iowa passing game shredded Indiana’s defense, the running game was equally hot. Marcus Coker netted 139 yards and two touchdowns on 23 carries, and backups De’Andre Johnson and Jordan Canzeri added 26 yards apiece.

“I think we just wanted to keep that balance,” quarterback James Vandenberg said. “We knew if we were able to run the ball, that opens everything up, and that was the case today.”

DIANA GAME BALL E ROBERSON

erson became the first true freshman in ory to ever start at the quarterback for Hoosiers on Oct. 22, and he performed irably — on his 19th birthday, no less. erson gave the Hawkeye defense trouble both his feet — he ran for 82 yards on arries — as well as his arm, throwing for yards and a touchdown.

THUMBS UP Offensive explosion. The Hawkeyes racked up 456 yards of offense and scored touchdowns on each of their first five possessions. The 45-point output marked the second-straight week in which Iowa scored at least 41 points and the sixth time this season in seven games, something Iowa hasn’t accomplished since the 2002 season.

THUMBS DOWN Lack of defensive stops. Iowa has known for weeks it needs to shore up its defensive inefficiencies, but improvement has lagged. The Hawkeyes lost the time of possession battle for the second-consecutive game, and Indiana ran 71 offensive plays, averaging 5.8 yards per play.

LOOK AHEAD

SCHEDULE

The Hawkeyes (5-2, 2-1 Big Ten) will head to TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis to play Minnesota (1-6, 0-3). With the Big Ten’s 12th- and 11th-best offense and defense, respectively, the Golden Gophers don’t appear to be a formidable challenge for Iowa this year. But Kirk Ferentz and Company only have to go back to last November to remember how Minnesota shocked the Hawkeyes with a 27-24 upset.

Paul touts budget cuts The lawmaker from Texas came to Iowa City last week to give a speech on liberty and U.S. military policy.

By SAM LANE samuel-lane@uiowa.edu

Iowa caucus hopeful Ron Paul’s proposal to eliminate the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as part of a $1 trillion federal budget cut could have a “huge impact” on Iowa City, one local housing official said.

And an urban-development expert said doing away with the department would take away programs that are “absolutely essential” to some communities nationwide.

Paul touted his deficitreduction plan — as well as his standard message of liberty and limited government — during a visit to the University of Iowa campus on Oct. 21. Paul spoke to a standing-room-only crowd of about 1,000 at the IMU shortly after the school’s Homecoming Parade.

In addition to criticizing U.S. military policy and the Federal Reserve, the Texas congressman lauded his own plan as a way to “get serious” about cutting the country’s debt.

“Our problems will get much, much worse and will be more chaotic if we don’t do something about it,” Paul told the rowdy audience.

But the plan itself could spell problems — at least initially — for areas such as Iowa City.

Iowa City Housing Administrator Steven Rackis said the city’s Hous-

(The Daily Iowan/Jacklyn Couppee) ing Authority receives roughly $7 million a year from HUD. The authority doles out more than $6 million of those funds to around 450 local landlords, helping finance a portion of rent for families based on their income.

The city also owns 81 public-housing units, so officials pay some of those federal dollars to private companies which perform maintenance on the units.

“I’d lose my job, but that $7 million [plus additional economic impact from that money] coming into this community would have a huge impact on the community … Not only would Mr. Paul have national associations to contend with, but how many businesses would he be affecting with the proposal?” Rackis said.

Entities separate from the city also receive HUD funds. In August, The Daily Iowan reported local organizations — including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Johnson County — will receive $5 million from HUD this year, an increase from the $1.7 million the

groups usually receive.

Last year, Iowa City more than received $600,000 in Community Development Block Grants from HUD as well as nearly $600,000 more in HOME Investment Partnership Program funds.

But Paul contends eliminating HUD — as well as five other Cabinet departments, including the Department of Education — will help the country in the long run.

The deficit plan, Paul writes in the proposal, will provide “Major regulatory relief, large spending cuts, sound monetary policy, and a balanced budget.”

According to Paul’s proposal, the Congressional Budget Office’s fiscal 2013 baseline budget for HUD allows for $46.3 billion in discretionary spending. But with the elimination of the department, the federal government will save more than $190 billion between fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2016, according to the plan.

However, at least one expert said he can’t see the positive long-term effect of

Paul’s plan.

Richard Funderburg, a UI assistant professor of urban and regional planning, said departments such as HUD are intended to address regional inequality, and regional inequality needs to be approached on a national level.

“What [Paul is] suggesting is unproven,” Funderburg said. “Most mainstream economists disagree wholeheartedly.”

He said the idea of reaching an economic growth equilibrium by only reducing expenditures and taxes is based on a perfectly competitive market. To think the United States’ market is perfectly competitive is “an absolute fallacy,” he said.

Programs such as the Community Development Block Grants are “absolutely essential in empowering communities and bettering lives,” Funderburg said, noting funds from the agency are particularly important for places such as Iowa, where the money has been used for floodrecovery efforts.

Most GOP hopefuls back abortion ban

By KRISTEN EAST kristen-east@uiowa.edu

DES MOINES — Most of the Iowa caucus candidates in the state over the weekend said they’d use the office to push for more restrictive abortion rules.

Some of them said they’d even pursue a Constitional amendment to effectively overturn Roe v.

Wade.

Six Iowa caucus candidates took the stage to answer several questions from Iowa Energy Forum and Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition officials over the weekend in Des Moines.

And though several candidates said they would support introducing a Human Life Amendment — which would outlaw abortion nationally — activists maintained former efforts have been fruitless.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn, said she would support a Constitutional amendment to make abortion illegal.

“I would be fully supportive of a federal Constitutional amendment to define life from beginning of conception,” she said. “I will support all pro-life language that comes across my desk.”

According to the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment, more than 330 Human Life Amendment proposals have been introduced in Congress since 1973.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., agreed with Bachmann, noting that he had cosponsored several pieces of anti-abortion legislation while serving in the Senate in the 1990s and 2000s.

“This is a human life from the moment of conception,” Santorum said.

“We will not differentiate what is an illegal and biological fallacy that a human life is not a person, that a human life is different because it’s located in the womb as opposed to outside.”

Though businessman Herman Cain main-

tained he was pro-life during the forum, he was criticized by Republicans earlier this month for being unclear on his stance during an interview with CNN last week.

“It comes down to it’s not the government’s role or anybody else’s role to make that decision,” Cain said. “Second, if you look at the statistical incidents, you’re not talking about that big a number.

So what I’m saying is it ultimately gets down to a choice that family or that mother has to make.”

Emily Sullivan, the president of the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance at the University of Iowa, said a woman’s right to choice should not be taken away.

“Most of the current Republican presidential candidates won’t ever have a uterus for which to make that very personal choice,” she said. “That is why it is very important to get more prowomen women involved in politics.”

Maggie DeWitte, the executive director of Iowans for LIFE, said she was pleased to hear support from the candidates.

“That’s been a mission of Iowans for LIFE for many years,” DeWitte said. “We all deserve rights, and for a presidential candidate to acknowledge that, that is definitely a step in the right direction.”

But even pro-choice women’s organizations don’t believe the legislation is likely.

Jean Classon, the president of the Iowa National Organization for Women, said she doesn’t think it’s likely a Human Rights Amendment would ever be enacted.

“There’s been no change in this issue since 1973,” Classon said.

“They’re always going to try to overturn [Roe v.

Wade], and if they can’t do that, they’re going to chip away at abortion rights with one way or another.”

My plans will create millions of jobs, Cain says

By MARY KATE KNORR mary-knorr@uiowa.edu

Clad in a red, white, and blue Hawkeye sweatshirt, one Republican presidential caucus candidate said his economic plans would benefit college students.

Georgia businessman Herman Cain said his plan would help expand the job market and increase wages for job-seeking students following graduation.

“The part [of my campaign] that should be most appealing to college students is my economic growth and jobs plan,” Cain told The Daily Iowan. “If you’ve got 14 million people out of a job… when [stu-

dents] get out of college, they’re not going to have a job.”

The former CEO of Godfather’s pizza visited with Hawkeye tailgaters before the Oct. 22 football game.

Earlier this month, Cain unveiled his 9-9-9 plan, which aims to level out taxes with a flat 9 percent business tax, a flat 9 percent individual tax, and a 9 percent national sales tax.

The plan eliminates the current tax code and replaces it with a simpler system, according to Cain’s campaign.

“If we don’t boost this economy, people coming out of college are going to be in a world of hurt,” Cain said.

“Look at [my] economic growth and jobs plan because that represents your economic future opportunities.”

But some doubt whether the 9-9-9 will be as effective as Cain claims. Patrick Barron, a University of Iowa adjunct lecturer in economics, said Cain’s policy fails to address a more important issue.

“I’m not that impressed with it because it really doesn’t address spending,” he said. “I’m not saying [the plan is] bad, but has he thought the whole thing through?”

Cathy Grawe, a volunteer on Cain’s Iowa campaign committee said his

plan should especially appeal to students.

“His policies will help getting back a little prosperity so these kids can get jobs when they do get out of college,” Grawe said.

And Cain’s financial experience as CEO of Godfather’s Pizza proves he can deal with tough economic situations, said Lisa Lockwood, communications director for Cain’s Iowa campaign.

“Our federal government is hemorrhaging money, [and] if it were an organization, it would already be bankrupt,” Lockwood said.

“I would love to see him take his skills and abilities that he has used in the real world and apply them to our government.”

With the 9-9-9 plan, Cain would be able to “expand GDP by $2 trillion, create 6 million new jobs, increase business investment by one

third, and increase wages by 10 percent,” said former Reagan Treasury official Gary Robbins on Cain’s website.

But Barron said although the 9 percent income tax is appealing, Americans’ taxes could actually increase over time.

‘This is how all taxes begin,” Barron said about the low rates. “But they all go up.”

NORTHWESTERN 3, IOWA 0

Volleyball falters again The Iowa volleyball team struggled to focus and work together on Oct. 22, falling to the Wildcats.

By MOLLY IRENE OLMSTEAD molly-olmstead@uiowa.edu

The Iowa volleyball team lost its fifth-straight match and 15th-straight set when the Hawkeyes lost, 3-0, to Northwestern on Oct. 22 (16-25, 11-15, 18-25). Iowa (11-12, 1-9 Big Ten) has won only four of 35 sets in conference play this season.

Iowa’s problems weren’t hard to pinpoint against the Wildcats: Breakdowns in the team’s focus, communication, and execution led to the loss.

“It was a really disappointing performance,” head coach Sharon Dingman said. “We made a bad choice to come out as flat as we did.”

Dingman said her team didn’t make smart decisions in the way it mentally and physically prepared for the game, and those mistakes affected Iowa’s ability to focus.

“This was a team choice, the way we started,” she said. “There wasn’t a player out there who was ready to compete — not a single player at the start of the match.”

The Hawkeyes’ lack of focus led to an inability to communicate, as balls repeatedly dropped onto Iowa’s court with no one attempting to make a play.

Northwestern’s blocking proved troublesome for the

grams like Alabama, Florida, Stanford, and Miami.

But he wore a redshirt last year as Ricky Stanzi put the finishing touches on an NFL-worthy career, and he appeared destined to ride the bench this year as James Vandenberg’s backup. He had two appearances this season, both in garbage time, and completed 3-of-6 passes for 30 yards.

He dropped out of the quarterback depth chart entirely earlier this month, when Ferentz suspended him for two games after he was arrested for public intoxication and criminal mischief. Derby said the time off helped him realize he isn’t bigger than the team.

“Stop being stupid, stop making mistakes, and try to focus on the team and do what’s best for that,” he said when asked about lessons he took from his suspension.

Considering Vandenberg will likely start for another year and the Hawkeyes have USA Today highschool Player of the Year Jake Rudock waiting behind him, Ferentz decided it was best for the team

Field hockey takes two The No. 11 Iowa field hockey team shut out Pacific, 4-0, on Sunday at Lakeside Field in Evanston, Ill. Iowa raised its record to 13-3 overall; Pacific fell to 2-12.

Iowa took a 1-0 lead into halftime after sophomore Kelsey Mitchell put the Hawkeyes on the scoreboard with a goal in the 21st minute.

The Black and Gold added three goals after the break, the first coming off sophomore Marike Stribos’ stick in the 49th minute.

Scores by sophomore Aubrey Coleman in the 61st minute and freshman Corinne Allen in the

Hawkeye frontcourt. When Iowa failed to hit over or around the block, the ball deflected into the Black and Gold court and fell to the ground at the feet of the Hawkeyes hitters and blockers. The Wildcats tallied 12 blocks, compared to Iowa’s one.

Sophomore libero Bethany Yeager said she noticed communication errors in the backcourt as well.

“We need to get mentally prepared before every game, every practice,” Yeager said. “We need to get ready to work, and we’ve got to know that when we’re practicing it’s not just for skills — we’ve got to work on communication, our mental aspect.”

In addition to a lapse in Iowa communication, struggled to collect kills and managed only 29 spikes and a .046 attack percentage. In contrast, Northwestern tallied 42 kills and a .231 percentage.

Freshman Alex Lovell played in all three sets but recorded a negative hitting percentage in each. She finished with an average of negative .079; Lovell also hit negative against Nebraska on Oct. 19.

Senior outside hitter Tiffany Nilges also hit negative (-.400) for the match, five of seven and Hawkeyes recorded a kill hit below their season average.

The Hawkeyes and Wildcats battled in a long rally in the third set with Iowa down 23-18, a rally in which the ball traveled to each team four times. But instead of finishing off the rally with a strong kill, Lovell hit out of bounds to the back corner of the that Derby move to linebacker.

The 20-year-old said Ferentz called him into this office on Oct. 18 to discuss the switch. He accepted the idea after he spoke with his father, John, who was an All-Big Ten linebacker at Iowa from 1988-91.

And while everyone from Vandenberg to linebacker Christian Kirksey admitted they were surprised when they learned Derby would line up at outside linebacker, no one seemed concerned about his transition.

“He already has the size to be a linebacker — he’s bigger than me — and I just looked at him and said, ‘I know you’re going to be a good player,’ because he’s so athletic,” Kirksey said. “… He automatically focused in and tuned in to linebacker. He did pretty well.”

Derby probably won’t see any snaps with the defense for a while, but he got off to a good start against Indiana; he said he enjoyed smacking Wynn on his special-teams tackle after spending the early part of his career wearing the quarterback no-contact shirt in practice.

“It was good to get some contact out there and make a tackle,” he said, laughing.

“I haven’t hit anybody since I got here — which is weird — so it was kind of fun.”

65th minute put the game out of reach for the Tigers.

The win came a day after Iowa took care of No. 20 Northwestern, 5-2, in the Hawkeyes’ final Big Ten matchup of the season. The Black and Gold finished 4-2 in the Big Ten; Iowa was winless in conference games last year. Iowa used a pair of goals from Jessica Barnett and single scores from Niki Schultheis, Coleman, and Mitchell to put away the Wildcats.

The match then ended with two more successive Wildcats points, from a kill and a stuffed block.

Lovell said her errors weren’t necessarily coming from an attempt to make harder and more complex plays but instead grounded in “focus and execution.”

“You’re sort of aware of [hitting poorly] during the game, but definitely once the game is over and you see you hit negative, you start to look at w h a t y o u d i d w r o n g,” Lovell said. “Sometimes you can get better by fixing just one shot, but sometimes it’s a bigger problem like not being prepared.”

COMMENTARY

season can be largely credited to its offense, which is averaging 34.3 points a game (fourth in the Big Ten) and is maybe the Hawkeyes’ best since 2002.

Even more problematic is that the Hawkeyes still have games remaining against the second- and third-best scoring offenses in the Big Ten, Nebraska and Michigan. Even Michigan State and Purdue — which Iowa also still has to play — are averaging better than 28 points a game.

So Iowa can’t necessarily bank on simply out-scoring all of those teams.

The Hawkeyes are going to need to get more defensive stops.

Oh-so-simple yet oh-sonecessary.

“In some aspects we’re improving, but it’s not as a collective group,” Alvis said. “When the offense improves like they did today — they showed up and did a great job — the defense needs to come along. All 22 guys that are playing just need to be ready to go.”

falo, and Hawaii.

That 406.7 average, if not improved, would be Iowa’s worst since a 2000 season when the Hawkeyes surrendered 444.92 yards per game.

Iowa finished 3-9 that year, in Kirk Ferentz’s second season as coach.

Yikes.

Granted, the Hawkeyes are dealing with a rash of injuries: James Morris, Tyler Nielsen, Tom Nardo, and Anthony Hitchens are just a few of the players who have gone down. To be fair, Iowa is still 5-2 and controls its own destiny in the Big Ten Legends Division.

But as senior end Broderick Binns said, Iowa can’t use its injuries as an excuse.

“The guys that played today, they practiced all week and knew the game plan,” he said. “… We just have to play better.”

Ihm is in fourth place individually after he recorded five birdies and one bogey during day one.

Indiana quarterback Tre Roberson scrambles against Iowa during the Hawkeyes’ 45-24 win in Kinnick Stadium on Oct. 22. The Hawkeyes let Roberson run for 82 yards and throw for 196 more, and they gave up 414 total yards. (The Daily Iowan/Ricky Bahner)

Iowa is allowing more than 400 yards a game for the first time since 2000.

JORDAN GARRETSON jordan-garretson@uiowa.edu

The Iowa defense needs to improve. Quickly.

It’s simple, and it’s not anything we didn’t know a few weeks ago. But the need has become more glaringly obvious with each game — none of which have been against teams that are offensive juggernauts.

Oct. 22 was just the latest

Molnar advances to finals Iowa senior Sonja Molnar advanced to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Region Championships finals with two singles wins on Sunday.

The tournament’s No. 2 overall seed, Molnar defeated Tulsa’s Anastasia Erofeeva (6-4, 62) in the quarterfinals and b e s t e d N e b r a s k a ’ s Molnar M e d e l e i n e tennis player Geibert (6-2, 63) in the semifinals. Molnar’s progression into the quarterfinals came after defeating Minnesota’s Julia Courter (6-0, 6-1) on Oct. 22 in Tulsa, Okla. Molnar is 5-0 at the tournament.

“Sonja worked very hard today for those wins,” head coach Katie Dougherty said in a release after Molnar beat Erofeeva and Geibert.

Men’s tennis has mixed results The Iowa men’s tennis team finished play in both the Wildcat Invitational in Evanston, Ill., and the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Regional in Tulsa, Okla., on Sunday.

Three Hawkeyes — senior Chris junior Speer, Connor Gilmore, and sophomore Michael Swank — finished with 2-1 singles records in Evanston.

example. Sure, the Iowa offense put up big numbers yet again, and the Hawkeyes ultimately rolled to a 45-24 victory over Indiana. But the big numbers Iowa surrendered to the Hoosiers were troubling.

Indiana recorded 414 yards of offense, including 218 rushing.

This is a Hoosier team that entered the Oct. 22 game 10th in the Big Ten in total offense.

Second-to-last in rushing offense.

Second-to-last in scoring offense.

Yet, all too often, the Iowa defense couldn’t get off the field.

Indiana put together five drives of nine-plus plays, four of which lasted for more than five minutes. The Hoosiers

“The scores don’t show it, but she played two very good players and had to play great tennis to beat them. [The finals] will be another test for her; she’s playing like the senior leader she is and outworking people.”

Molnar’s next match is in the finals against No. 4-seed Samantha Vickers of Tulsa at 9 a.m. today.

Molnar also paired with Iowa freshman Shelby Talcott in doubles, and they recorded wins over Wichita State’s Delia Damaschin and Montse Blasco Fernandez (8-3) and Tulsa’s Caroline Beaulieu and Isaura Enrique (8-2). The Hawkeyes then lost to Erofeeva and Ewa Szatkowska, 9-7, in the quarterfinals.

Talcott was eliminated from singles competition on Oct. 21 by Minnesota’s Natallia Pintusava, (7-6, 3-6, 5-7). She had previously beaten Szatkowska, (6-2, 1-6, 6-3).

Jonas Dierckx won his first two matches at the regional tournament in Tulsa and advanced to the tournament’s round of 16 before losing to Vlad Oklahoma State’s Bondarenko.

Chase Tomlins fell in both of his matches, and the duo lost their lone doubles match to Oklahoma’s Costin Paval and Dane Webb. The Cowboy pair had split two matches earlier in the season with Iowa’s top doubles team of Will Vasos and Marc Bruche.

The Hawkeyes will finish the fall season at the Hawkeye Tennis & Recreation Center for the Big Ten tourney beginning Friday.

The need for improvement is no secret to members of the Hawkeye defense. They’ve been asked about it nearly every week, and each week, they’re straight-forward about it. They know they have to get better.

Hell, defensive end Dominic Alvis almost sounded embarrassed when asked to assess the unit’s performance against the Hoosiers.

“With all due respect to Indiana — they came out and played great — that’s not the effort that we’re looking for,” said Alvis, a visible battle wound on his forehead representative of the uncharacteris-

tic battering the Iowa defense has taken at times this season.

“We have a tradition here with the Hawkeye defense. We really didn’t live up to it today.”

The tradition, most recently, is Iowa ranking among the nation’s top 25 in total defense six times in 10 seasons from 2001-2010, including each of the last three years.

Instead, Iowa currently allows 406.7 yards a game.

That’s ninth in the Big Ten and 79th in the 120-team Football Bowl Subdivision, meaning the Hawkeyes trail defensive stalwarts like Duke, BufSEE COMMENTARY, 10

Iowa’s special-team players streaked downfield on a third-quarter kickoff, surging toward Indiana kick returner Shane Wynn in a mass of black shirts.

But all eyes in Kinnick Stadium were on the player leading the charge in a No. 17 jersey. That player was seeing the first special-team action of his career. That player was A.J. Derby, who was a backup quarterback until early last week.

The 6-4, 232-pound redshirt freshman lowered his shoulder as he approached Wynn, drilled the Hoosier in the chest, and drove him down onto the 15-yard line.

And so ended Derby’s career as a gunslinger — at Derby least for now. Head coach linebacker Kirk Ferentz said the physically gifted athlete will spend the rest of his Iowa tenure at linebacker, barring injury at other positions.

“Nothing seems permanent around here right now with injuries and what-haveyou, but [linebacker] is what we’re going to focus on … the rest of the way,” he said after the Hawkeyes’ 45-24 win over Indiana on Oct. 22. “We saw him on kickoff coverage today; it was excellent. We’ve been searching for guys there, [and] he went down and made a real nice play.”

Derby was a four-star prospect from City High and was ranked the best player in the state after his senior season. He was recruited as a dual-threat quarterback, but he also played receiver, linebacker, and defensive back with the Little Hawks — and punted well enough that he holds the school record for the longest kick, a 70yarder. He had scholarship offers from proSEE DERBY, 10

IOWA 6, NORTHWESTERN 1

Soccer rolls over ’Cats The Hawkeyes receive contributions all across the board, and four different players scored goals.

By BEN WOLFSON benjamin-wolfson@uiowa.edu

Prior to the start of Sunday’s game against Northwestern, the Iowa soccer team’s six seniors — Morgan Showalter, Emily Moran, Rachel Blakesley, Sarah Langlas, Gabby Tinner, and Alyssa Cosnek — were honored for Senior Day. Their teammates decided to honor their seniors in a different way — the Hawkeyes poured on the offense in a 6-1 victory over the Wildcats.

The victory was the 12th on the season for Iowa, which moved to 4-42 in conference play.

The team was coming off a 1-0 loss against Nebraska in overtime and was suffering through a goal-scoring slump; prior to Sunday, Iowa had scored two goals in its past three games.

The team went 1-2 in those games, with the only win being a 1-0 victory over Ohio State.

Iowa’s frustration fueled the team, Showalter said.

“The push everyone had today [stood out]” the Cedar Rapids native said.

“People were going harder to the ball and wanting to
