Local, state governments shedding jobs
By MEGHAN HORIHAN
WASHINGTON — Conservative Republicans have long clamored for government downsizing. They’re starting to get it — by default. Crippled by plunging tax revenues, state and local governments have shed more than a half million jobs since the recession began in December 2007. And, after adding jobs early in the downturn, the federal government is now cutting them as well. States cut 49,000 jobs over the past year and localities 210,000, according to an analysis of Labor Department statistics. There are 30,000 fewer federal workers now than a year ago — including 5,300 Postal Service jobs canceled last month. By contrast, private-sector jobs have increased by 1.6 million over the past 12 months. But the state, local, and federal job losses have become a drag on efforts to nudge the nation’s unemployment rate down from its painfully high 9.1 percent. The economy has been expanding, at least modestly, since the middle of 2009. And state and local governments are usually engines of job growth during recoveries. But not now, said economist Heidi Shierholz of the labor-aligned Economic Policy Institute. “The public sector didn’t start to lose jobs right away,” she said. “But then it did as the budget crunch really hit. State governments are not allowed to run deficits. So the private sector is expanding while the public sector is shedding jobs — to the tune of 35,000 jobs a month.” — Associated Press

So UI officials are developing a $14.6 million project to create that atmosphere. The renovation would include more study rooms, an expanded Food for Thought Café, remodeled restrooms, and a Madison Street entrance in the library’s first floor. The project will be funded through the university’s general- education building-repair funds and the university fire- and environmental-safety funds. Chris Clark, the project manager for the Main Library Learning Commons project, said UI students have been involved in several stages of the early planning and design. “We’re presenting basic concepts of what they are trying to do for the Main Library Learning Commons project and finding what students like and don’t like and having them give insight,” Clark said.

The University of Iowa has fallen three spots on the Trojan Sexual Health Report Card this year. But despite the drop from sixth to ninth — based on accessibility to sexual-health resources and information to students — UI health officials said more students are seeking out sexual-health services than ever. Stephanie Beecher, behavior health consultant at Student Health Service, was skeptical about the results. “Trojan is a brand. I would definitely take that study with a grain of salt,” she said. “We run a very comprehensive data set on sexualhealth behavior at the university.” She noted that Student Health observed a 400 percent
increase in the number of students who sought sexualhealth information and services this year. While 730 students visited Student Health from 2009 to 2010, Beecher said, 3,647 students approached Student Health through its out r each i ni t i at i ves t hi s year. Over the last year, Beecher said, Student Health has increased its efforts by offering free HIV testing, setting up information booths that offer free condoms, and talking to fraternities and sororities about sexual health. Beecher also said 155 students took advantage of free HIV testing in April, a rise from 66 in April 2010. Many new entrants in Trojan’s top 10 this year have had a great leap forward in

Gingrich ponders IC office President Obama is the only other 2012 contender with an office in Iowa City. By MARY KATE KNORR mary-knorr@uiowa.edu
DAVENPORT — Iowa caucus candidate Newt Gingrich may soon open a campaign office in Iowa City, he told The Da ily Io wa n a t a t own-hal l meeting Monday, and campus Republicans say that’s a good move. “I think Iowa City is the smartest choice,” said Natalie Ginty, the chairwoman of the Iowa Federation of College Republicans, who met with Gingrich staffers recently. Campaign officials said Iowa City was an attractive location because even though Johnson County is overwhelmingly Democratic, the size of the county means there are many Republicans here. “We just started thinking about [an eastern Iowa office] over the weekend,” said Michael Krull, Gingrich’s campaign coordinator. “Some of the [University of Iowa] College Republicans suggested it would be a great thing

Occupy protester who was present at the assembly. “They’re not really the enemy.” After applying for the permit, several protesters met with city officials and outlined specifications for the temporary structure. The demonstrators are now building the structure to suit the parameters. The initial structure, a skeleton made of 2-by-4inch studs, closely resembled the frame of a house. The problem with the structure, according to protesters, was its size. At 16-
by-16 feet, the frame was outside the limit outlined in temporary-structure guidelines — which limit the size of the building to 120 square feet. But Steve Hoffelt, an Occupy protester and member of the outreach committee, said the new structure measures 10-by12 feet. Protesters said there are minimal plans for the structure beyond four walls and a roof. “That’s as substantial as [it’s] going to get,” said Steve Hoffelt. “We’re looking at stapling tarps to the outside and then using Tyvek on the inside to create a pocket of air to insulate it.” He also noted that each wall is self-contained and detachable from the others, making the frame moveable. He said this will allow the group to include the structure in their biweekly rotation of tents, which

Iowa City police charged a local man with assault after he allegedly pushed a woman and tried to slash her son with a knife. Russell James Barbary, 44, 1015 Cross Park Ave. Apt. D, was charged Oct. 22 with assault use/display of a dangerous weapon, possession of a controlled substance, and domesticabuse assault. According to reports, Barbary called police for assistance involving a fight with his girlfriend’s son. Police later determined Barbary allegedly became intoxicated and went home, violating a no-contact order, and grabbed his girlfriend’s neck before pushing her into a wall. The complaint said when the alleged victim’s son tried to intervene, Barbary came at him with a knife, leaving several abrasions and lacerations. Upon a consent search of a bag on Barbary’s bicycle, police allegedly found synthetic marijuana. — by Hayley Bruce
Iowa City police charged a local man with operating while intoxicated after his moped went down in an intersection. Maxwell Burgard Dull, 20, 1411 Plum St., was charged Oct. 17 with first-offense OWI. Records indicate police were called to the intersection of Iowa Avenue and Madison Street after receiving a report that a moped and rider were down. The report said a bottle of Canadian Mist was lying next to the open moped seat when officers arrived. Dull allegedly blew a .186 on a preliminary breath test; he was transported to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where he allegedly admitted to drinking whiskey and coke earlier in the evening. While on the phone with his father, Dull also allegedly said he was “drunk in front of three cops.” The report said Dull smelled strongly of alcohol and contradicted himself several times when talking to police. — by Hayley Bruce

tant for the group’s public outreach as occupiers transition into colder weather, Stephany Hoffelt said. She said they hope the insulated shelter will be more inviting for passersby to stop and learn more about the demonstration in winter months. “It’s not just about sleeping warm,” she said. “It’s about being here all day. Even just to have people come up and talk to us — people are going to stay a lot longer if they’re not shivering.”
The University of Iowa police charged a North Liberty man after he allegedly broke the window of a patrol car and headbutted an officer. Christopher Robin Ross, 24, was charged Oct. 23 with thirddegree criminal mischief and assault causing injury on peace officers and others. According to complaints, Ross was arrested on charges of public intoxication and interference with official acts; he became angry and head-butted the rear passenger side window of a patrol car during a search. The complaint said the window shattered, causing an estimated $800 in damage. When officers were trying to control Ross, he allegedly refused to get in the patrol car and head-butted and kicked an officer, causing a bump above his left eye. Third-degree criminal mischief is an aggravated misdemeanor, punishable by up to two years in jail and a maximum fine of $6,250. Assault causing injury on peace officers and others is a Class D felony, punishable by up to five years in jail and a maximum fine of $7,500. — by Hayley Bruce
Iowa City police charged a local man with third-degree sexual abuse after he allegedly gave a minor alcohol and performed sex acts on her. Kameron Scott Burnett, 21, 320 S. Dubuque St. Apt. 513, was charged Monday with thirddegree sexual abuse. According to a police complaint, the girl’s father called police to report his daughter was at Burnett’s apartment — where she was found when police responded. Under Miranda, Burnett allegedly told police he committed four sex acts on the girl at his apartment in the morning hours Monday. The complaint said Burnett told officers he provided flavored vodka to the girl knowing she was a minor and that she became intoxicated. Records indicate the girl is four or more years younger than Burnett. Third-degree sexual abuse is a Class C felony, punishable by up to 10 years in jail and a maximum fine of $10,000. — by Hayley Bruce

By MATT STARNS Occupy Iowa City protesters are continuing to construct a 120-square-foot structure at College Green Park after meeting with city officials Monday. Initial construction of the shelter was halted Oct. 21, when Mike Moran, the director of Iowa City Parks and Recreation, sent a memo to members of the Occupy movement. He ordered construction “must cease immediately” until protesters submit a permit application for the use of College Green Park. Moran said in the memo he would consider the appropriateness of a temporary structure if the protesters submitted the application. “We want to give it a fair shake,” Moran told The Daily Iowan Monday. “We’ll react based on what they say their intentions are.” Members of the group met Monday morning with city officials and formally applied for a permit to occupy the park, a decision that was ratified in the group’s general assembly with little resistance — despite initial reservations previously expressed to The Daily Iowan by some protesters. “They’re being cooperative with us; we should be cooperative with them,” said Stephany Hoffelt, an

Princeton University as the top three universities in sexual health resources. UI spokesman Tom Moore said he feels positive about the university’s “top-tier” ranking, because it highlights that students’ health and wellbeing is a top priority at the school. “The UI Student Health is doing an excellent job of communicating information to students both on a wider scale and on an individual basis. It is an excellent resource for students in terms of ensuring that they stay as healthy and safe as possible,” he said.
The Rape Victim Advocacy Program has also seen an increase in the number of students seeking sexualhealth-related information. “More students than ever are discussing issues around sexual health and concern over safety on campus,” said Karla Miller, the RVAP executive director. “There is increase in national attention since the ‘Dear Colleague’ letter was issued from the Department of Education clarifying responsibilities of schools, high-profile cases, and changes on many levels that are working toward improving overall education and especially the responses to victims — both institutionally and individually.” One of RVAP’s most suc-
News cessful initiatives has been the nformed.net, a test that outlines better sexual behavior and is part of a compulsory orientation course for incoming UI freshmen. UI senior Nathan Rogers agrees there is plenty of sexual-healthrelated help available on campus, and he isn’t surprised by Iowa’s high rank in the Trojan report card. “They have free condoms available in a wide range of places, including the dormitories, Student Health Service, and also at many of their events,” he said. “Even though they aren’t the best of condoms, they are free, and many college students wouldn’t want to buy expensive condoms,
‘We run a very comprehensive data set on sexualhealth behavior at the university.’ and therefore it helps a lot.” Beecher also says distributing condoms is merely one step in bettering sexual health on campus. “You can give out as many condoms, but condoms aren’t everything,” she said. “It’s more about education and communication of information to the students that create a safer campus.”

Des Moines, he said. “I think, on the whole, it’s a good thing,” said Tim Hagle, a UI associate professor of political science. “Just to the extent that he is willing to open up an office in the state, that is a good sign.” This move, Hagle said, is a sign that Gingrich is returning to a more traditional campaign strategy. Johnson County Republican Caucus Chairman Bill Keettel said putting an office in Iowa City would be an excellent geographical choice. “Johnson County has outstanding access to interstate highways,” Keettel said. “No other town has as good a road network as we do. That might be a very good reason to locate here.” In June, numerous members of Gingrich’s staff abandoned his campaign, which forced the former speaker of the House to take a nontraditional approach focusing less on staff and volunteers.
Newt Gingrich speaks at the Figgie Art Museum in Davenport on Monday. The former speaker of the House’s 2012 Iowa caucus campaign may open an office in Iowa City. (The Daily Iowan/Jacklyn Couppee) “That’s really not going to be how you’re going to win caucuses,” Hagle said. Hagle said reaching out to voters and volunteers is what will help candidates win in the upcoming caucus. “People are still looking to key in on who it is they really want to support in the caucuses,” Hagle said.
“People are taking a second look at him.” John Twillman, the president of the UI College Republicans, said students will likely be receptive to Gingrich’s campaign. “He could get a lot of students that are really behind him in more ways than just voting,” Twillman said. “It will be nothing but positive for his campaign.”

out the planning process, said President Sunny Kothari. UI sophomore Nick Rolston, a member of the Advisory Committee, said the panel attended a meeting with library staff last fall to discuss the early stages of the project. He said other universities have used library facilities as a “central hub” for studying and student life. He said he noticed many students prefer to use the IMU as the main study area on campus. “A lot of people don’t use the library right now because it’s not studentfriendly,” Rolston said. “To me, it feels really confusing.” Rolston said that after speaking with Clark, architects hope to make the first floor feel more open by putting in places for group study, individual study, and for students to congregate. In addition to the committee, Clark said, officials have used student focus groups for more input. Clark also said the UI has looked at numerous other learning commons across the country as a model for the new developments.

If approved, Kothari said, construction would likely begin in the summer of 2012 and be completed by the fall of 2013. Kothari said having student feedback is an important aspect of the project, because students largely utilize the library. “Committees such as ours are instrumental in the development of a university project,” Kothari said. “The Main Library is a building for the students, and likewise, it’s important to take what the students want into consideration.” If approved, Kothari said library users will still be able to work in the space once construction begins. UI officials will seek approval for the reconstruction at the state Board of Regents meeting Wednesday and Thursday in Cedar Falls.

UI should aid displaced Linn County mental-health patients

With recent changes in Linn County, the University of Iowa must try to extend its mental-health resources more than it does. The Linn County Board of Supervisors’ approval of the first round of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities cuts will result in an influx of patients developmentally and mentally disabled patients in nearby Johnson County. Mental-health services are invaluable, especially to those who don’t have the financial means to ensure their own treatment. Iowa City and the university must make efforts to accommodate any displaced patients at prices they can afford. This first round of cuts, approved by the county’s Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Advisory Board and totaling $2.3 million, mostly affects residents of Marion’s Abbe Center for Community Care. The plan will necessitate the shift of nearly 100 residents from the care facility to smaller, local group homes such as the Abbe Center. “There just isn’t any more money, so Linn County is simply looking for other services that could cut down” said Stephen Trefz, the executive director of the Community Mental Health Center in Iowa City. “When people are moved out of a care facility to smaller units, the cost is shifted from the county dollar to the federal dollar.” Along with the cuts to mental-health facilities comes an altered state of supply and demand. While there will be fewer programs facilitating treatment, less funding for care provisions, and a subsequent decrease in efficiency and capability, the number of patients seeking care will most likely remain relatively constant. This trend will create a system of prioritization — in which wealth will become a deciding factor in who can be treated and who cannot. Budget cuts in the department will ultimately mean not enough — or not equal — treatment for everyone. Creating a system in which a lack of available funding places limitations on health treatment for those with less financial success isn’t only a temporary solution to an issue, it’s also un-American. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 22 percent of American households include at least one child with special mental-health needs. Of this number, low-income and minority families account for higher rates of children mental health disabilities. In a study of Midwest cities, the agency notes that of those with mental-health needs, 98 percent receive, at some point, mental-health treatment.
It’s important to realize, when examining this particular issue, that mental illnesses are biologically based disorders of the brain. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, mental-health illnesses “cannot be overcome through ‘will power’ and are not related to a person’s ‘character’ or intelligence.” To force the displaced residents of the affected facilities to find alternative care on their own would be an ignorant and callous contention. “It’s just unfortunate that the clients are the ones that must experience displacement or discontinuity of care,” Trefz said. Cuts to the Abbe Center would significantly lower not only the number of residents but also jeopardize the centralized care and quality of care for the residents, for those remaining and for those displaced. By sending residents of the facility to small group homes, the risk of malpractice and insufficient care is greatly increased, due in particular to isolation of cases and the reduced patient-caregiver ratio. Lack of care today for the mentally and developmentally disabled could mean more time, effort, and money expenditure in the future. The lack of a centralized, county-funded facility for the management and rehabilitation of these patients could not only decrease the efficiency of the program, resulting in more long-term spending, but also, in turn, increase the severity of resident-specific mental and developmental ailments because of a lack of effective care. Ultimately, cutting spending on such a delicate scale will do more potential harm than good. With such a substantial number of people in need of mental and developmental health care, it seems socially irresponsible and neglectful to implement budget reduction in Linn County. The question then comes down to a struggle between the ideals of a communal ethics and the concern of expenditure. As an accredited medical-research institution, the University of Iowa can help minimize the detrimental effects of Linn County’s unfortunate budget cuts. The UI can better facilitate unabridged, centralized care than almost any facility in the state. Sacrifices have been made and will continue to be made. Until mental health care is prioritized to the extent deserved, the experts in the field will be looked toward to carry the burden of care. The UI has as many of experts as any institution in the state. Your turn. Should mental health be promoted more at the UI? Weigh in at dailyiowan.com.

Capitalism is greed A local Service Employees International Union staffer quoted by The Daily Iowan recently said, “We’re not opposed to capitalism, just against greed.” Labor misleaders just do not get it. Capitalism is greed and alienates us from our humanity. I am opposed to capitalism, and so are many conscious workers of the world.
The spirit of the Occupy Wall Street movement cannot be pursued at the ballot box or through collective bargaining. Worker actions such as Occupy Wall Street are proper agitation that will foster conscious dialectic among the 99 percent. When a sufficient proportion of the 99 percent has a revolutionary platform, what the 1 percent thinks and does is of
minor concern, because the major battle will have been won. David Smithers UI alum

Good news for college tipplers: George Washington’s estate, which we know as Mount Vernon, has decided to reissue our much-revered first president’s recipe for rye whiskey. Whoopee. Yes, our first president was a distiller, according to NPR (damn liberals, always looking into things that are none of their business), of some freaky good whiskey. That probably accounts for his famous rye sense of humor. Good news for the anti-drinking UI administration: A bottle of Washington’s rye whiskey costs $185. Bad news for college tipplers: Yeah; $185, dude. Oh, well. It’s the thought that counts. (Just judging from experience, I suggest that college dudes never but never try that line on a woman.) Besides, I suspect most college-age tipplers don’t tipple rye whiskey unless it’s named after the shortstop traded for Ozzie Smith, and even then, most college-age dudes don’t remember Ozzie Smith. (Hint: Think backflips on the diamond.) No, it seems that older dudes are the ryewhiskey tipplers (I keep using that word because I like the sound of it and because it also means a method of screening and loading coal, which always reminds me of Mitt Romney.) Rye whiskey is so cardigan sweater. In a thoroughly unscientific study (which is the kind Republicans appear to prefer, just going by what they say), I’ve discovered that older dudes don’t actually employ the word “dude” all that often. C’mon, older dudes. Get with the program. Washington’s Mount Vernon, by the way, is not to be confused with the One Hill of a Town north of us on the terminal moraine, more or less. Yes, I know; these are very confusing times. But you think these times are confusing — how confusing was it 12,000 years ago when the glaciers decided to give up their southern vacation, turn around, and go home, leaving behind all these terminal moraines? What were people supposed to think? The Ice Man goeth? And what were
they supposed to do with all those damn terminal moraines, which, quite frankly, are hard to climb? The good news is, these days, we don’t have to worry about terminal moraines because we have petroleum-fueled vehicles, so we can zip up that terminal moraine as if it weren’t there — thus achieving our goal of getting to Mount Vernon. (Why that was our goal I’m not sure, but luckily, we still have the freedom to do so.) The bad news is, we have petroleum-fueled vehicles. On the other hand, the good news for all the various Occupiers is that 59 percent of Americans support the movement, if that’s what it is. That’s courtesy of a National Journal poll — whose data, Harold Meyerson of the Washington Post tells us, matches that of a Time magazine poll. Yes, I know — there are some mumblers and grumblers out there who contend that the Occupy This and Occupy That don’t have a coherent message. Really? It seems to me they have a quite coherent message: They’re against the big banks and the growing corporatization of America, more or less. That Occupy Wall Street isn’t exactly on Wall Street — or that the big financial institutions aren’t located on Wall Street, either — is kind of beside the point. Everything in America these days is symbolism. And that’s why even the floor of the New York Stock Exchange is mostly just for show — the majority of stocks traded are done electronically. I think the computer banks are located in New Jersey. (Yes, that New Jersey, which, so far as I know, is not a terminal moraine. More’s the pity. It would give a whole new meaning to terminal moraine.) The other good news is, Gail Collins of the New York Times managed to slip in a reference to Mitt Romney strapping the family dog to the top of the car on a vacation to Canada in her Oct. 19 column. That always makes me smile. (Not that I’m in favor of strapping dogs to the tops of cars. The back of a pickup truck always works out better.) Makes you wonder, though: If Romney becomes president, will he strap the family dog to the roof of the White House? And will that make the White House a terminal moraine?
Guest opinion
UISG fighting sexual abuse and other dangers Just over a year ago, a woman said she was raped on the Pentacrest. The reported assault didn’t occur in a dark alleyway or behind the closed doors of an apartment or dorm room as we often imagine. It apparently happened in the open and in front of at least one witness. The witness later reported the alleged rape to a police officer, and, thanks in part to the information he provided, the alleged rapist was apprehended six months later. I wish the witness had been able to prevent the alleged rape, but I am glad
that he decided to do something about what had happened. The person charged may never have been caught if he hadn’t. In a story published in August, The Daily Iowan reported that three alleged sexual assaults or attempted sexual assaults have occurred on campus since that incident. Two of them were in residence halls and the other at the Finkbine Golf Course following a football game. These types of assaults can happen anywhere and can happen to anyone. National statistics approximate that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men will
be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. This is why education and other preventative measures are so important and why the University of Iowa Student Government has made student safety such a large part of its agenda. For example, UISG has worked with cab companies in the hopes of providing safe transportation for students 24 hours a day, in addition to the services offered by Nite Ride. UISG will also host the first-ever UI Safety Awareness Fair on Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the IMU second-floor ball-
room. University offices and departments as well as student and community groups will offer information and resources about safety of all kinds, especially bystander intervention. The Red Watch Band program will hold two alcohol bystander intervention and CPR training sessions during the fair, and groups such as the Rape Victim Advocacy Program, the Domestic Violence Intervention Program, and the Women’s Resource and Action Center will be there with information on how to prevent and avoid sexual assault. These groups work
with both men and women in their safety-education efforts. There will also be groups available to discuss other issues, including fire safety and motorcycle and moped safety. MidWestOne Bank will be there to tell students how to keep themselves and their money safe from fraud. The fair will conclude with a room-burning in Hubbard Park. Two sideby-side rooms will be constructed, one with fire sprinklers and the other without, and then set aflame to show the importance of fire safety and pro-
tection. It will also demonstrate how the Fire Department responds to and extinguishes fires. UISG will send out an email to all undergraduate students announcing the event. Please refer to the email for more information about participating groups and how you can win an iPad or Hawkeye gear from the University Bookstore at the fair for attending. It’s up to all of us to help make our campus a safer place. Jon Swearingen is a University of Iowa student and the UISG safety advocate.

U.N. official praises Iowa
The Daily Iowan - Iowa City, Iowa - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - 5
AT THE MEMORIAL
Aaron Sherinian says Iowa is one of the most globally minded places in the 50 states. By CHASTITY DILLARD chastity-dillard@uiowa.edu
Geographically, Iowa is landlocked.But one U.N. official said Iowa plays a key role in international issues. “Everyone is listening to Iowa today, and Iowa cares about the U.N.,” said Aaron Sherinian, the vice president of communications and public relations at the United Nations Foundation. “That is a powerful connection.” Sherinian said Iowa’s interaction with political figures and caucus coverage often puts a spotlight on the state from an international perspective. “There’s something about Iowa that is a great ambassador of our country to the world,” he said. In celebration of the creation of the U.N. charter on Oct. 24, 1945, Sherinian spoke to a crowd of roughly 20 as part of the UI’s first event to recognize the day. Monday, Sherinian told the crowd how citizens across the nation and in Iowa can continue to play an important role in the United Nations. Sherinian cited a recent report conducted by the Public Opinion Strategies and Hart Research Associates that said 86 percent of Americans support the United States maintaining an active role with the United Nations. “If world leaders or if American leaders and elected officials don’t realize that 86 percent of America supports a strong U.S. leading role in the United Nations, then they haven’t done their homework, and someone has to tell them that,” he said. It is crucial for Americans to continue to remind leaders and fellow citizens about the importance of awareness of global issues, he said.
Hosted by the UI United Nations Association and the Iowa United Nations Association, local and UI organizations held the event to demonstrate how the community can get involved with world issues. Ed Flaherty, the president of the Eastern Iowa Veterans For Peace, said the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights focus on freedom from starvation, oppression, and war meshes with his group’s mission. “The United Nations does have its problems, like any other large institution,” he said. “But the U.N. is an indispensable force for peace in the world.” Students Abolishing Slavery member Lakshmi Kantamneni said the UI organization focuses on global peace and human rights. “Basically, I feel like we fit into the overall picture of wanting to help bring peace and bring the idea that every human should have the equal opportunity to be free,” the sophomore said. But Sherinian said raising action is just as important as raising awareness. And the U.S. economic questions make involvement with the United Nations more essential, he said. “We are not living in a time where our economy will thrive if we sit and stare at our belly buttons,” Sherinian said. “Our economy will only thrive if the world economy is healthy, and the U.N. does that every day.” Sherinian said the United States was built on the premise that everyone has a chance to make it. “But none of us is going to make it if our world is falling apart,” he said.

House nixes EU emission plan By JIM ABRAMS Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The House voted Monday to exclude U.S. airlines from an emissions cap-andtrade program that the European Union plans to impose on all airlines flying to and from the continent beginning next year. With the legislation, which passed by voice vote, lawmakers joined the airline industry and the Obama administration in opposing the EU Emissions Trading Scheme scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 1. The bill now goes to the Senate, where there is currently no companion legislation. The measure directs the Transportation secretary to prohibit U.S. carriers from participating in the program if it is unilaterally imposed. It also tells other federal agencies to take steps necessary to ensure that U.S. carriers are not penalized by the emission-control scheme. The EU program began in 2005 with the capping of carbon-dioxide emissions from power plants, refineries, steel mills, and other industrial producers. Next year,
it extends to airlines, which are said to be responsible for about 3 percent of greenhouse gases. Under the program, similar to the cap-and-trade concept that President Obama unsuccessfully tried to move through Congress, each airliner is issued permits to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide. They can buy extra credits if they emit more than their allowed limit or sell credits if they emit less. Payments would be made to the EU country to which they most frequently fly. The EU says the costs to airlines will be modest and will have minimal effect on passenger fares. The U.S. aviation industry says the cost between 2012 and
2020 could hit $3.1 billion. It says it is unfair that a flight from the United States, for example from Los Angeles, would have to pay for emissions for all parts of flights to Europe, including time spent over the United States and the Atlantic. “It’s a tax grab by the European Union,” Transportation Committee Chairman John Mica, RFla., said. “The meter starts running the minute the plane departs from any point in the U.S. until it reaches Europe.” In 2009, American, United, and Continental Airlines and the Air Transport Association of America filed suit in a case now before the European Court
of Justice, arguing that the unilateral imposition of emissions rules violates international aviation agreements. They received a setback earlier this month when the court’s advocate general, a legal adviser, in a nonbinding statement said the EU emission-trading scheme is compatible with international law and urged the court to reject the U.S. challenge. That drew fire from Krishna R. Urs, the U.S. deputy assistant secretary of State for transportation affairs, who repeated the U.S.’s “strong legal and policy objections to the inclusion of flights by non-EU carriers” in the EU program.

Flyer injury taints win
Philadelphia Flyer captain Chris Pronger puts his hand over his eyes as he heads for the locker room after being struck in the face with a stick during the first period against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday in Philadelphia. (Associated Press/Tom Mihalek)
By DAN GELSTON Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Flyer defenseman Chris Pronger left the game after taking a vicious stick to the face, leaving Philadelphia concerned over the health of their captain after a 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.
Pronger and Toronto’s Mikhail Grabovski sprinted for a loose puck in the circle after a rebound off Flyer goalie Sergei Bobrovsky on Monday night. Grabovski slapped at the puck, but his stick connected with Pronger’s and the blade shot straight up into the defenseman’s face.
Pronger screamed in agony and instantly clutched his face. Hunched over, he skated straight to the bench, his hands over his eyes, and went to the dressing room with 8:02 left in the first period. Jaromir Jagr and Scott Hartnell each scored their first two goals of the season for the Flyers.

Pronger did return after the blow that hushed the crowd. Between periods, Danny Briere said the Flyers hoped Pronger would be OK. Hartnell called Pronger one of the “biggest warriors” in the NHL. Pronger may have been struck in the right eye. He does not wear a visor. The protective piece is not
required in the NHL, though several players have had their careers prematurely end after blows to the face. Grabovski was not penalized for the play because it came on a shot. He was whistled for highsticking only 28 seconds into the game when he nailed Claude Giroux in the face on a faceoff. “It seems like they’re swinging their sticks like crazy,” Hartnell said. Pronger’s injury overshadowed Jagr’s first NHL goal since April 6, 2008. Jagr left to play three seasons in Russia before signing a one-year deal with the Flyers. He split defenders on a breakaway, courtesy of a sweet feed from Giroux, and flipped the puck past Jonas Gustavsson late in the first for the power-play goal. Jagr removed his right glove and saluted the crowd and his teammates. Flyer Wayne Simmonds leapt into Jagr’s arms and the rest of his teammates mobbed him as if he had scored the winning goal. Jagr has become an instant team leader and fan favorite, even as concerns over his scoring slump lingered. Not any more. Hartnell put the Flyers ahead 2-1 in the second on a great second effort. He shot at close range from one knee, then fell to both to pound in the rebound for his first goal of the season. Briere had the assist for
his 600th career point — a big number for a 5-foot-10 forward once deemed too small to play in the NHL. Hartnell added the insurance goal in the third, helping the Flyers snap a two-game losing streak. The Flyers and goalie Ilya Bryzgalov allowed nine goals over two-straight home losses. Bryzgalov got a breather Monday, and Bobrovsky was solid in net. Bobrovsky won 28 games as a rookie last season, but the Flyers felt they needed a proven veteran winner to get them to the Stanley Cup finals. The acquired Bryzgalov from Phoenix, and Bobrovsky was relegated to the bench. He was beaten by Phil Kessel early in the first period for his NHL-best ninth goal. Kessel fired from the circle and scored on Toronto’s first shot of the night. Bobrovsky was perfect from there until David Steckel beat midway through the third that cut Philadelphia’s lead to 3-2. Jagr put any thought of a late-game collapse to rest when he got all alone on a breakaway for the easy score — and one more salute. Bobrovsky beat Gustavsson in the battle of the backups. Gustavsson got the start with James Reimer out with a neck injury. The game also had brothers playing against each other: Philadelphia’s Brayden Schenn vs. Toronto’s Luke Schenn.

POINT/COUNTERPOINT
Who will win the World Series? St. Louis Cardinals The Cardinals will win the World Series because they have more consistent resources on which to rely in pressure situations than the Rangers. St. Louis can count on its nearly unhittable bullpen to keep it in the game in a high-stress situation; so far this postseason, Texas has relied on late-inning home runs to steal runs when struggling. The Rangers won two ALCS games thanks to 11th-inning homers by Nelson Cruz. Texas struggled against the Tigers’ dominant pitching in Game Two, until Cruz homered in the seventh to put the Rangers on the board. He struck again in the 11th with a walk-off grand slam that won the game. The
Rangers won with an 11thinning Cruz home run again in Game Four. But the Cardinals won the National League pennant with their bullpen — especially in the NLCS, in which St. Louis starters repeatedly failed to last longer than five innings. Cardinal relievers maintained a collective 1.87 ERA in 28 2/3 innings against the Brewers and only allowed 14 Milwaukee hits in six games. This pattern has continued in the first four games of the World Series, although it was less extreme. While the Cardinals’ bullpen weakened to allow 11 hits and six runs in 16 2/3 innings — which is still pretty good — the Rangers continued to use homers to score runs and
kick-start their momentum when the offense was flat. In Game One, Texas’ Mike Napoli hit a long-ball off red-hot Chris Carpenter. In Game Three, when the Cardinals exploded to score four runs in the third inning, Texas responded with homers. The Rangers used a sixth-inning threerun Napoli blast in Game Four to put the Cards out of striking distance. Strong pitching habitually trumps strong batting, and relying on the craft and skill of the pitching staff is a more stable bet than relying on the luck and brawn of power hitters. The Cardinals’ pitching excellence will shine through. — by Molly Irene Olmstead
Texas Rangers The Texas Rangers were within three wins of a world championship last year; now, one year later, 2011 will be the year for the Rangers. The Rangers’ offense has carried the club this close to a championship for the second-straight year, and the bats will carry them the rest of the way. The Rangers will need to win in St. Louis to claim the title, but the Rangers are quite capable of accomplishing that task. Manager Ron Washington’s club proved they can win at Busch Stadium in Game Two. It doesn’t hurt that Texas’ Game Two starter Colby Lewis, who has a 2.22 ERA in seven postseason starts, is scheduled to pitch Game Six in St. Louis.
FOOTBALL
coach Lester Erb tells his unit before each game. “He always tells us, ‘Be ready because you never know when your number is going to be called,’ ” Johnson said. Johnson said the murky depth-chart situation isn’t frustrating, though, because “you really show what you can do in practice,” and that’s primarily how the distribution of carries is decided. For Coker, it’s not so much who else is getting the carries as long as it’s not always him. The 6-0,
230-pound bruiser admitted he appreciates the occasional breather. “I hate to come out,” Coker said. “But getting that break and that breath, it definitely helps. Then I come back fresher.” Even more help could be available for Coker on Saturday at Minnesota. Ferentz said true freshman Mika’il McCall may be ready to go. McCall was in uniform on Saturday against Indiana for the first time since breaking his ankle in the season-opener against Ten-
nessee Tech. He still ranks as Iowa’s fourth-leading rusher this season after recording 61 yards on nine carries in his only game. “I don’t know what they’re going to do with him in the future this season, but he’s looking good,” Johnson said. “He can definitely make a run for it. He definitely always wants to play. I talk to him every day, he’s always like, ‘Man, I want to get back out there.’ I guess we’ll see what happens.”

Thompson smiled as the spiked the ball over the net, putting the Hawkeyes back within striking distance. But despite tallying eight more kills following Thompson’s momentum shift, Iowa lost the third set — and the match — 25-18. The Hawkeyes are struggling to find anyone who
Big Ten honors McNutt Senior wide receiver Marvin McNutt was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, two days after breaking the all-time Iowa receivingtouchdown record in the Hawkeyes’ 45-24 win over Indiana on Oct. 22. McNutt caught six passes in the game for 184 yards and three touchdowns. The first, which came with under a minute left in the first quarter, pushed the St. Louis native ahead of Tim Dwight and Danan Hughes on the Hawkeye list. McNutt was tied with the pair for a week with 21 scores; he now holds it outright, with 24 and counting. Both McNutt’s yardage and touchdown totals were careerbests, and the 184 yards is the eighth-most in a single game in

can play consistently from game to game. As result of the current losing streak, Iowa is starting to use its nonstarters more. Defensive specialist Grace Burns had only played a total of three sets in Big Ten play before getting in on two sets against both Nebraska and Northwestern. She became Iowa’s go-to defensive specialist off the bench after the team’s other defensive specialists were ineffective; Kari Mueller was injured, and Allison Straumann struggled on the court. Now, Burns enters the game when the opponent’s serving is beating Iowa’s back-row players. Burns said her job is to stop the competitor’s serving run and, by successfully return-
ing serves, help the Hawkeyes start a run of their own. “We’re just searching for anyone who can be consistent at this point,” Straumann said. “We’ve gone through a lot of bumps throughout the road, and we’re just trying to see what’s going to work. Nothing is definite at this point; it changes week by week.” The nonstarter’s success hasn’t been enough to lift the Hawkeyes out of their doldrums, though, and Iowa is still searching for its second Big Ten win. “All of us as a whole are struggling, so we’re just trying to work hard because that’s what we know how to do,” Thompson said. “We’re all in a rut right now, so we’re just try-
ing to figure out how to get out of it. That’s the most frustrating thing — we don’t really know why we’re struggling.” The inability to perform well in conference play is the fault of the whole team, Burns said — so as a result, the entire team is trying to scrape together enough consistency to manage a win. “We’re all working for the same goal; we have to remember that we’re all on the same page,” she said. “All we want is a win for Iowa, so it doesn’t matter who’s on the court … We’ve had a lot more downs than ups recently, but we’re sticking by each other, trying to just get it done.”

Should the Series reach the first Game Seven since 2002, neither team will have one of its top pitchers on the hill. This favors an offensive-minded team such as the Rangers. Because both teams’ aces — St. Louis’ Chris Carpenter and Texas’ C.J. Wilson — threw in Game Five, the series will come down to offense. The Rangers have plenty of it; with such hitters as Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltre, Mike Napoli, and ALCS hero Nelson Cruz, the Rangers are wellequipped to put runs on the board. Save for a spectacular outburst from Albert Pujols in Game Three, the Cardinals’ offense has not been as strong.
Nothing against St. Louis, of course; the Cards made a magical run to the World Series after being down 10 1/2 games out the National League wild card on Aug. 26. But if the Rangers refuse to let Pujols beat them single-handedly and continue to produce runs themselves, that magic will end and they’ll hoist the Commissioner’s Trophy as a symbol of the first World Series win in franchise history. — by Ryan Murphy

Life in the Hawkeye lane After careful research, nomenclature has now determined there are five different types of Hawkeye fans. Here are the five people you meet at Kinnick.

A renewed focus on establishing the running game is making life easier for the Hawkeye offense. By JORDAN GARRETSON jordan-garretson@uiowa.edu
Iowa’s running game is looking more like, well, the Iowa running game again. The Hawkeyes handed the ball to their backs 33 times in last week’s win over Indiana. That was the most since Iowa backs ran the ball 35 times in a triple-overtime marathon against Iowa State in Week Two.
More importantly, Iowa ran the ball well and early. As coach Kirk Ferentz said, “We wanted to get Marcus [Coker] going, get the [offensive] line going.” The team did just that — Coker runs accounted for the Hawkeyes’ first five plays and nine of their 14 first-quarter plays. In doing so, he helped open things up for James Vandenberg and the passing game.
Molnar falls in finals
Men’s golf falls to 10th
Iowa senior Sonja Molnar suffered a loss on Monday in the singles final of the Tennis Intercollegiate Regional Association Championships in Tulsa, Okla. The (6-1, loss 6-1) came at the hands of T u l s a ’ s Samantha Molnar Vickers, the senior tournament’s No. 4 seed. Vickers was ranked No. 98 in the tennis association’s preseason poll. She is the fourth player in Tulsa history to win the regional title — the first since 2002 — and she qualified for the National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships in New York next month. Molnar’s loss dropped the Canadian senior to 5-1 in the tournament, 11-2 in singles this fall season. It was her first singles loss since Oct. 4. Molnar and head coach Katie Dougherty will return to Iowa City and prepare for the Purdue Invitational, which begins Nov. 4. “Sonja had a great tournament,” Dougherty said in a release. “She got five quality wins and was working through sickness the entire time … Sonja couldn’t quite get it going. Sonja has had a very good fall season that we’ll look to continue with the rest of the team at Purdue.” — by Con ra d S w a ns on
The Iowa men’s golf team improved its play by two strokes in the second round of U.S. Collegiate the Championship on Monday. Iowa shot a 3-over 291 and was one of seven teams in the 14-team field to lower its score from day one. The improvement wasn’t enough compared with the rest of the field, though; head coach Mark Hankins’ squad fell two spots and were in 10th place at the end of Monday’s play in Alpharetta, Ga. The Hawkeyes are 8-over through 36 holes. Barrett Kelpin and Brad George led the Hawkeyes on day two, each shooting 1-under 71 in the second round. Kelpin and sophomore Steven Ihm are the furthest up the leaderboard through two rounds — both are tied for 16th. George’s play was vastly improved from his performance in round one. After recording two double-bogeys, five bogeys, and two birdies on Sunday, the senior played his second-best round of the year. George fired four birdies and three bogeys during secondround play en route to only his second subpar round this fall. Senior Chris Brant struggled on Monday, posting a 78. The Hawkeyes’ No. 2 golfer carded his second-highest round of the fall season. Host school Georgia Tech leads after two rounds at 10under. Only five of the 14 teams hold under-par scores heading into today’s final round. Brant will be the first Hawkeye to tee off this morning, starting at 8:50 a.m. Kelpin will be the last Iowa golfer to tee off, at 9:30 a.m. — by Ben Sch u ff
The junior quarterback was 2-of-2 for 96 yards in the first quarter. In the second, he was 6-of-8 for 115.

Student Genus: Chicago Suburbanite (Ragius Keystoner) The marching band’s rendition of “On Iowa” signals a nomadic time for those from Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, or some other two-word town that is somehow also Chicago. Whether it’s the arrival during the national anthem or the halftime departure during any game not within 8 points, the suburbanite is particularly aggressive on game days because of its pregame diet.

V-ball turns to nonstarters As the Iowa volleyball team struggles to find a win, the team’s nonstarters shine for the Hawkeyes with increased playing time and success on offense and defense. By MOLLY IRENE OLMSTEAD molly-olmstead@uiowa.edu
The Iowa volleyball team is stuck in the middle of a five-game, 15-set losing streak. So head coach Sharon Dingman has turned to her nonstarters to enter the game to “start a fire or put a fire out.” Iowa’s offensive leaders — outside hitters Alex Lovell, Megan Eskew, and Tiffany Nilges — struggled offensively in the past four games. Lovell, the team’s kill leader to date, has hit negative in three of Iowa’s last four games. Nilges played only four of the six sets and hit negative in two games. Eskew hasn’t hit over .200. But middle blocker Chante’ Thompson started her first Big Ten match against Wisconsin on Oct. 16, and she has collected 18 kills in 11 sets. Thompson continued to start against Nebraska

She started again against Northwestern, and collected the second-most kills of any Iowa player. “When we first put Chante’ in … we just felt we needed her spark of
personality, [and] then all of a sudden, she’s playing really well, too,” Dingman said. “When we’re in the midst of a pretty serious losing streak and Chante’ can still bring that personality to the floor, that’s critical to where we are right now.”
Iowa struggled early against Northwestern and lost the first two sets, (25-16, 25-11). The Black and Gold started the third set in much the same way, and trailed by at least 2 points all the SEE VOLLEYBALL, 8
