Latinos are the largest American minority group, making up 16 percent of the U.S. population.

University of Iowa sophomore Jessica Padilla was thinking about college a year before highschool graduation.

“I was so set on coming …” the 19-year-old said. “I wanted my experience to be different, and I didn’t see myself anywhere but here.”

And the UI — like other colleges and universities across the nation — has seen an annual increase of Latino students like Padilla.

This fall, 1,334 Latino students are enrolled at the UI — an increase of 21.4 percent over last fall’s 1,099.

“It’s certainly not a surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention to national demographics

that the Latino population is increasing,” said UI Chief Diversity Officer Georgina Dodge.

“We’re seeing that corresponding tick in collegedegree attainment and completion [here], as well.”

A Pew Hispanic Center study shows a 24 percent increase in Latino college enrollment for 18- to 24-year-old students between 2009 and 2010.

While high levels of immigration and a high birth rate have made Latinos the largest minority group in America, an increased interest in education among the Latino community was also cited for the increase.

Despite spat, City of Lit stays Iowa City remains a ‘City of Literature’ despite the U.S. dispute with UNESCO.

Jones’ attorney says his client was scapegoat Attorneys for Phil Jones, a former University of Iowa vice president for Student Services, argued Tuesday that he and another former UI official were used as “scapegoats” following the UI’s alleged mishandling of a 2007 sexual assault, according to the Press-Citizen.

UI President Sally Mason fired Jones and former UI General Counsel Marcus Mills in fall of 2008, accusing them of mishandling the university’s investigation into an assault involving two Hawkeye football players in a Hillcrest dorm room.

Jones and Mills then filed separate lawsuits naming the UI, Mason, and the state Board of Regents for wrongful termination and defamation.

The Press-Citizen reported the attorneys representing the UI, Mason and regents argued Jones’ case did not have enough evidence to go to trial, but his lawyer disagreed.

“They made Phil Jones the fall guy, the scapegoat to hide the fact that the Athletics Department and the president were acting contrary to the policies of the university,” defense attorney David Dutton said, according to the Press-Citizen. “A jury is entitled to hear what they did and why they wrote what they wrote and decide for themselves.”

But attorneys representing the defense maintained there was no evidence that the Stolar Partnership — a third party hired by the UI to investigate the alleged mishandling — intended to harm Jones, the Press-Citizen reported.

According to the Press-Citizen, District Court Judge Fae HooverGrinde will decide whether to grant a trial or grant a summary judgment.

Iowa City city councilors have agreed to compromise with Occupy protesters on one aspect of their permit restrictions.

After hours of discussion between the two groups during Tuesday’s public hearing, councilors agreed to modify the permit to allow up to two Arctic tents that hold 10 people, subject to approval to ensure compliance with fire codes.

One concern voiced by coun-

Iowa City will keep its title as a UNESCO City of Literature despite the United States’ decision to cut its UNESCO backing.

The United States put a hold on a November deposit of $60 million into the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization accounts after Palestine was admitted as the 195th member state of the organization on Monday, according to a press briefing by the U.S. State Department.

“What we’ve been advised is that the U.S. can still hold the membership in UNESCO for at least two years [without funding the organization],” said Jeanette Pilak, the executive director of Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature.

“In that time, if there is a scenario where the United States loses that membership, we are not aware of any reason that a creative city would lose its title [as a UNESCO City of Literature].”

Christopher Merrill, the director of the University of Iowa’s International Writing Program, said Iowa City will not be financially affected by the funding cut.

“In my conversations with the State Department and the national commission of UNESCO … [the fund cut] doesn’t have any bearing [on Iowa City],” said Merrill, who was a part of the original proposal for the designation. “Iowa City doesn’t receive any money from UNESCO.” He said the Iowa City office is funded by both public and private sources.

Hugh Ferrer, the associate director of IWP,said that overall,virtually no changes will be made in the Iowa City office.

“If, in two years’ time, the U.S. federal government withdraws its membership and divorces itself from [UNESCO], then Iowa City may find itself in an odd position,” Ferrer said. “For Iowa City, nothing has changed. For UNESCO, a big thing has changed.”

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland stated in a press briefing on Monday that due to “long-standing legislative restrictions,” the United States must refrain from financially contributing to UNESCO as a result of Palestine’s admittance.

“U.S. engagement with UNESCO serves a wide range of our national interests on education, science, culture, and communications issues,” she said.

“The United States will maintain its membership in and commitment to UNESCO, and we will consult with Congress to ensure that U.S. interests and influence are preserved.”

Iowa City was selected in November 2008 to be the third of the now five UNESCO Cities of Literature.

According to the UNESCO website, Iowa City was selected due to the city’s “thriving literary culture” and renowned reputation as home to famous writers such as Flannery O’Connor, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., and Wallace Stegner.

The UNESCO Cities of Literature are part of a network of Creative Cities located across the globe. Iowa City and Santa Fe, N.M., are the only two cities in the network located in the United States.

UNESCO Cities of Literature Iowa City is one of five designated “Cities of Literature” worldwide.

Dykstra: I don’t recall

Brian Dykstra and Lisa DeWaard lived with their son for roughly four months before he died.

Brian Dykstra told a jury Tuesday he doesn’t remember what happened after his son passed out six years ago.

Dykstra was charged in 2008 with second-degree murder in connection with the 2005 death of his 20month-old adopted son.

Dykstra testified he witnessed the child vomit and pass out on Aug. 13, 2005.

“I went in there, and he was holding his head,” Dykstra said. “I picked him up and was trying to comfort him, and that’s when I remember the eyes rolling back and he just passed out.”

Assistant County Attorney Beth Beglin asked whether he remembered what occurred when the first responders to his 911 call arrived at his house.

“I don’t remember anything,” Dykstra said. “I remember basically [my son] passed out in my arms and then being driven to the hospital in the back of a police car.”

He focused the rest of his testimony on his relationship with his former wife

Lisa DeWaard — who defended him Monday in her testimony — and the child they adopted from Russia.

Dykstra, a self-described “small-town country boy,” said the time he and DeWaard had with their child was the happiest part of their relationship.

“It was like he was the glue to our relationship … everything we did, we did together,” he said.

Dykstra described how they played with cars and balls, and he said they maintained their “connection” by looks and touch rather than speaking, because the child spoke Russian.

While describing himself, he mentioned he played a number of sports. When defense attorney Leon Spies asked whether he was any good, he smiled and said, “I could play,” which caused some laughter his family.

“I always wanted to be the dad,” he said. “To have a kid and be able to do those things and to be that type of a role model that my dad was for me.”

After the defense rested,

the state presented its rebuttal, which included a testimony from Wayne State University pediatric radiologist Wilbur Smith, who said he specializes in abusive head injuries to children.

Smith, who said he has investigated for the FBI and U.S. Army, said the injuries he observed in the child occurred “somewhere within an hour of his collapsing.” “[The child] may have had a short fall, but the injuries that he suffered on the 13th were from a different trauma — a whole unique different set of trauma,” Smith said.

Spies focused his crossexamination on discrepancies between Smith’s findings and what other investigative officials found in regard to the injuries to the brain.

He asked Smith why he could not tell him the size of an injury inside the child’s brain called a “subdural hematoma” and whether the other doctors’ findings were inaccurate.

“I don’t know how they could have been,” Smith said. “I don’t think anybody

can tell you how large it was.”

Spies then objected to a slide show intended to be shown by state witness Nasreen Syed, a UI clinical associate professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences.

Sixth District Judge Patrick Grady believed the complete slide show would be inappropriate and instead allowed a only a few photographs to be shown.

The photographs showed the child’s eyes, which, Syed said, indicated “retinal hemorrhages,” and they were “most likely a result of inflicted injury.”

After both parties rested and the jury was sent home for the day, Spies moved to dismiss the case, saying the state hadn’t provided sufficient evidence and the case didn’t need to be submitted to the jury.

Assistant County Attorney Anne Lahey argued that the state had sufficiently made its case, and the judge overruled the motion.

Closing arguments are scheduled to take place today in the Johnson County Courthouse.

two men — Jacob Newman, 20, and Christopher Smith, 19, who live at 221 Iowa Ave. Apt. 1912 — with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of drug paraphernalia.

In addition, Newman was charged with permitting the use of a controlled substance in his dwelling, and Smith was charged with permitting a gathering to use drugs.

According to the complaint, police searched the apartment and allegedly located marijuana, a digital scale, money, and drug paraphernalia in the living room of the apartment. In Smith’s bedroom, police allegedly found “multiple bongs,” as well as a gun safe containing a glass jar with four grams of marijuana inside, numerous knives, and three different firearms.

METRO Council considers taxi regulations The Iowa City City Council voted unanimously to tighten taxicab regulations on Tuesday.

Under the proposed ordinance, each taxi company may only charge one rate, and no individual cab can charge a rate different from its company.

The ordinance would also change the definition of a “Certified Calibrator” to an individual who has completed a taximeter calibration course and provides certification. Each time a taxi changes its calibrator, the city must be notified.

Taxis will also be prohibited from charging any fee that is not based on the destination’s distance and/or time it takes to get there.

Each cab would be required to remove any decals advertising the taxi service when not in service.

Students seek tuition town hall UISG begins officials said the initiative, if approved, would likely start in safety campaign Student January.

By KRISTEN EAST kristen-east@uiowa.edu

Student leaders say a new safety campaign launched last week encompasses a handful of the safety goals they’ve been seeking to implement.

“We wanted a term that resonated better with college students,” the University of Iowa Student Government Vice President Brittany Caplin “[The Wingman Safety Campaign] is the idea that you never leave your friends behind.”

A resolution passed by the UISG Senate Tuesday night defines a wingman as “someone who protects a friend in a dangerous partying environment.”

The Wingman Campaign comprises three pillars: a 24hour unisex cab service, the Responsible Actions Protocol, and a partnership with Red Watch Band. The campaign will be promoted with Tshirts, advertisements, and UISG’s website, Caplin said.

UISG is looking into a 24hour unisex cab service that would be free for all students.

The Responsible Actions Protocol states if a student were to help another student who has been drinking, they would not get in trouble.

UISG will also partner with Red Watch Band — a dangerous-drinking training program — again to ensure students are educated about responsible drinking.

UISG members first began working on the campaign over the summer, and it was launched on last month during a UISG Safety Awareness Fair.

However, some UI administrators disapproved of the name, Caplin said, because

they believe it does not reflect the serious intent of the campaign. Still, Caplin said she and other UISG members don’t think students will perceive it negatively.

“It’s a controversial term depending on whom you talk to,” Caplin said, and UISG officials wanted a term that could easily resonate with students. “Some [administrators] think it has a negative connotation.”

Karla Miller, the executive director of the Rape Victim Advocacy Program, said Wingman could be controversial because the word isn’t gender-neutral.

“People try to get into more neutral language that isn’t based on any particular gender,” she said.“Now, instead of saying chairmen, they say chair. [Not] picking a term that can mean both men and women, they could get some criticism for that.”

Miller suggested UISG use the term “wing men and women” instead of “wingman.”

“If they’re presenting it as a concept, it doesn’t mean just men are going to do it,” she said. “I think it’ll be a very positive program.”

Alison Kiss, the executive director of the national program Security On Campus, said UI administrators shouldn’t be concerned about the campaign’s name, and she applauded the campaign’s mission.

“Anytime a campaign draws on bystander intervention or brings in the community as a whole, we view it very positively,” Kiss said.

“The types of programs that are student-run and taking ownership on safety of campus are always successful.”

University of Iowa student leadersintend to sustain outreach efforts to increase state appropriations and are doing so by collaborating with state regent universities.

UISG decided not to back the proposed tuition increase of 3.75 percent for in-state undergraduates and 4.75 percent for out-ofstate undergraduates at their meeting on Tuesday.

The state Board of Regents supported the increase at a meeting on Oct. 27.

To combat the increase, student leaders proposed the concept of a town-hall meeting to the regents on Oct. 27.

“The purpose is for students to step up and directly talk to individuals who support public universities,” said Abhay Nadipuram, the governmentalrelations coordinator for the Executive Council of Graduate and Professional Students. “If students can engage with Iowans and at least show them why universities are effective, hopefully, the community will continue to support the university, and hopefully, the universities will gain even more support.”

Iowa’s public universities have seen a $144 million loss in funding since 2009.

However, one education expert said universities won’t see immediate changes in funding.

Jane Wellman, an executive director of the Delta Cost Project, said changing legislators’ minds is “usu-

State Appropriations The UI has seen a decrease in state appropriations over the past few years.: • 2011: $217.64 million • 2010: $235.48 million • 2009: $276.52 million •2008: $258.01 million • Point Source: University of Iowa Operating Budget

ally not that easy.”

“Building good [relationships] will pay off in the long term even if it doesn’t pay off in the short term,” she said.

Although the meeting’s details are still preliminary, Nadipuram said they would begin in January and visit communities in which there are a large number of public university graduates, communities in which people use university services, and communities in which there is an apparent disconnection with the university. He said the Executive Council would help support students’ travel expenses, and the group hopes to receive support from the regents and university.

Nadipuram said townhall meetings would be a collaboration among people from the UI, Iowa State University, and the University of Northern Iowa traveling throughout the state, showcasing how communities are affected.

“Generally, I believe that contacts with legislators, alumni, and others around the state have been wellreceived,” said Regent

Robert Downer, who noted that people should be open to supporting the regents’ institutions.

Nadipuram said it is no secret that universities have lost state appropriations over the past few years.

“Anytime students can go out and be in the backyard of Iowans and illustrate the value, it’s a great, idea,” said Peter Matthes, the federal-relations director for UI Governmental Relations. “It’s putting a student face on the university and illustrating our students come from every county, river to river and border to border.”

University of Northern Iowa Student Body President Spencer Walrath hopes it will bring the three universities together.

“I hope that it will help

Iowans better understand how the state’s universities have a positive effect on their communities, whether by training outstanding educators or developing improvements in storm-water management,” Walrath said.

Wellman said the meetings would work as a reciprocal relationship between the universities and community members.

“People from universities will learn a lot, and communities will learn a lot, too,” she said. “If it is done well, university people should be listening instead of talking.”

UI student leaders are beginning the planning, and they will present a final proposal to the regents when completed.

Editorial

Maximize UI’s local return to garner state investment As if on cue, the state Board of Regents appears poised to move forward on a proposal that would raise tuition rates at all three of the state’s public universities.

In response, student organizations across the state have said they will step up lobbying efforts in order to postpone tuition hikes or, at the very least, minimize any potential increases. This lobbying effort includes many University of Iowa Student Government members who have pledged to lobby more aggressive than in past years; using such means as town-hall meetings to garner support from the state’s taxpayers.

If the UI wishes to successfully solicit more money from taxpayers, it needs to show it is committed to rewarding its contributions to the fullest extent.

What’s become pre-eminently clear from the response of many state lawmakers (and painfully, even from regents) is that the UI suffers from a perception of community inessentiality. While this perception is debatable, it has also become clear that some of Iowa’s legislators don’t care to listen to students, as evidenced by Republican Sen. Shawn Hamerlinck’s comments in June.

“I do not like it when students actually come here and lobby for funds,” he said. “That’s just my opinion. I wish you guys the best … but this political theater — leave the circus to us.”

It’s clear that the UI administration should attempt to renew its focus on providing state and community offerings in an effort to regain legislative support and state funding to combat rising costs of college attendance.

The responsibilities of any public flagship transcend the mere functions of providing education to students and maintaining fiscal viability. Undoubtedly, publicly funded schools should be expected to contribute to those that help to fund it, first and foremost. While the university’s contribution has been somewhat substantial over the years, problems arise when the taxpayers and legislators consider the actions of higher-level management at Iowa’s regent institutions.

In the case of the UI, it’s easy to see how this has led to widespread disillusionment with institutional policies.

Many wasteful policies — expensive faculty “searches” and the high-cost construction of auxiliary facilities — have resulted in increased costs for Iowa’s student population and the state’s workers who pay into the appropriation pool.

Considering out-of-state students’ vital monetary con-

tribution, the UI should continue to pursue nonresidents while curtailing the expensive recruitment of international students — but what comes after is more important to taxpayer investment.

Iowa’s regent universities should make continued efforts to retain students long after graduation and professional employment begins. Admirable programs like this exist. Legislators must recognize their importance and augment their influence to optimize taxpayer funding. “[Through programs like] Consider Iowa, students can learn about opportunities and careers in the state,” said Angi McKie, the director of marketing and public relations at the Pomerantz Career Center. She emphasized that the organization was a “way to get [graduates] thinking about opportunities here in Iowa as young professionals.”

Endeavors such as this could certainly be aided by legislation eliminating or reducing income taxes for young professionals — a policy that was pursued by state Republicans in 2005. Through UI advocacy and lobbying, a policy of this type might prove quite palatable for both parties, as lower taxes could appeal to Republicans, and economic stimulus would please Democrats.

Simple outreach policies such as this could also net a multitude of positive effects for the UI. On one hand, economic success could, in theory, easily translate into larger state appropriations and a renewed understanding of value in the UI’s programs. Thus, the state would relearn the value of its regent institutions and be reappraise its funding.

While it’s questionable whether the UI has worked hard enough to maintain affordable in-state tuition rates, it’s not hard to understand why state lawmakers have questioned the university’s contribution due to its apparent lack of deference to the state that helps keep it afloat.

University administrators should recognize their responsibilities and reconcile some of their differences in Des Moines, before attendance costs become even more astronomical to the population the institution is meant to serve.

Raising tuition should be the final resort. Lately, however, it seems to be the knee-jerk reaction.

Your turn. Should UI focus to keep its graduates in-state?

SHOULD CAIN AND ROMNEY PRIORITIZE IOWA?

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

Cain, Romney pick money over Iowa caucus-goers ADAM B SULLIVAN adam-sullivan@uiowa.edu

Iowa Republicans, your two favorite candidates are cheating on you.

While a handful of the Iowa caucus candidates are attending a big GOP fundraiser in Des Moines this weekend, Mitt Romney and Herman Cain are skipping out so they can hang out with some fatcat billionaires in Washington, D.C. Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Rick Perry all plan to be at the Republican Party of Iowa’s annual Ronald Reagan Dinner.

Romney and Cain were also invited, but they are snubbing the event and instead going to the Defending the American Dream Summit, Slate reports.

This should be unacceptable to Iowa Republicans. Both these guys — Cain in particular — have built their followings this year on messages of being anti-Washington.

That they would snub a roomful of caucus-goers to rub elbows with East-coast millionaires ought to be insulting to anyone who claims to oppose big-government bureaucracy.

Sure, fundraising at events such as the one in Washington this weekend is a practical political reality. A candidate without some major cash-backing is going to struggle last through the middle and late primary states.

And certainly the eventual Republican candidate will need some bucks to take on a wellfunded incumbent.

However, reaching out to the regular people ought to be a bigger priority.

(But, I mean, in Cain and Romney’s defense, I hear the bros at the Defending the American Dream Summit throw pretty rad parties. They have their Facebooks on lockdown so you can’t

see the pics from their Halloween party over the weekend, but I heard Dick Armey dressed up as … well, you get the picture.)

Cain and Romney, of course, are the top two candidates in Iowa, according to a recent poll by the Des Moines Register. Cain has support from 23 percent of likely caucus goers, according to the polling data, and Romney is the top pick of 22 percent.

Political insiders around the state also view the two candidates favorably. The *Iowa Independent*’s nonscientific poll of journalists, strategists, and other observers put Romney and Cain at second and third late last month, trailing Texas Republican Paul.

That the former Massachusetts governor and former pizzachain exec declined the Iowa GOP’s dinner invitation shouldn’t be surprising, though.

Romney’s been to the Hawkeye State fewer than a handful of times in 2011 (one of those times, by the way, he wasn’t even nice enough to pose for a picture with me). Cain’s record is a little bit better, but he’s hardly stepped onto a cornfield since the Ames Straw Poll back in August.

What is surprising is that Iowans have continued to put up with it. The case for keeping the first-in-the-nation presidential contest here always includes a point about how Iowans demand individual contact from their presidential hopefuls. A caucus-goer is asked how she feels about candidate soand-so, the anecdote goes, and she replies something like, “I haven’t made my mind up yet. I’ve only met him once.”

So, Iowa Republicans, I think it’s time you sit down and have a serious talk with your beaus. An ultimatum in lipstick on the bathroom mirror might even be necessary: Come to Iowa and talk about the issues, or we’re through.

Column

A definitive example of the ‘Occupy’ influence SAMUEL CLEARY samuel-cleary@uiowa.edu

Officials at Bank of America announced Tuesday, to the relief of many and to the surprise of a few, that they will drop their plan for debit-card fees after much public outcry.

The timely and concerned reaction of big banks to the public’s response to the fee implementations should be a testament to the efforts and agencies of vocal Americans everywhere. The incident also suggests that perhaps the presence of the

Occupy movement has had a particularly real influence on the actions of corporate America.

Bank of America is one of the largest national banks in America, second only to JP Morgan Chase. Many similar banking corporations had publicly announced intentions to follow suit with similar policies. Subsequently, most of them — including Chase and Wells Fargo — have also announced a change.

The fee, which would have pinned a $5 charge onto each monthly statement, was met upon announcement last month with a great deal of discontent from Bank of America customers.

The retraction follows a raucous backlash from those customers — one of whom, according to the New York Times, even collected 200,000 signatures for a petition against the implementation of the fee.

Maybe we common people do still have some pull with the big guys.

Bank of America’s announcement occurred amid the height of media fixation on the chaos that is the Occupy movement. The peculiar overlay in chronology presents an interesting opportunity for a consideration of the two in relation to one another.

The Occupy movement has been going on for what seems to be nearly a month now, and with exponentially expanding numbers and

intentions, the movement shows no signs of stopping.

But perhaps the members will take a coffee break and indulge in a moment to revel in the headlines.

Bank of America’s actions and the response of the public seem to a tell us a few things. For one, it provides a perfect example of big banks implementing unnecessary and unfair stipulations. That Bank of America announced its intention and then withdrew it so readily demonstrates the plan’s obvious lack of necessity. Clearly, the charge wasn’t a necessary plan vital to the banks’ well-being or a mark of hard financial times, because the bank seemed so quick to save face. The bank’s initial intent seemed to be one

rooted purely in profit.

Bank of America’s retraction is a sign of the times — a testament to Americans (whether involved in “Occupy” or not) still having a say in the comings and goings of the corporations in which they place their trust and their fortunes.

Change seems to present itself in strange ways. Call it selfish, call it lazy, but it’s true: When it comes to things that possess the potential to adversely affect our personal lives — especially our wallets — angry Americans are a clientele (and a force) to be reckoned with.

While individual goals vary from isolated group to isolated group, the movement still prides itself on a mission that remains unde-

niably focused on seeking the attention — and checking — of big banks in corporate America. It seems that the reality of the Occupy movement has dealt out a fair share of pressure to/upon corporations such as Bank of America. The organization has provided a catalyst for distaste and discontent within the American civilian body. In a sense, it’s created — or at least added to — the fire of public agency and the degree to which the masses are vocal.

Whether you’re holed up in a tent in Iowa City, braving the cold weather and lack of running water, or staring angrily at newsprint on a Sunday morning, be proud and press onward.

LATINOS CONTINUED FROM 1

Dodge said. “We have some targeted initiatives for Latino populations instate.”

As an only child to Mexican parents who never sought higher education, Padilla said the UI’s Upward Bound program — which aims at preparing low-income and first-generation students for college — helped navigate her way into college.

“Without them, I don’t know if I would be at the university,” Padilla said. “I spent the last two summers at the dorms here, and that helped a lot with bridging that fear of going to school out of town, and they helped with my parents.

They didn’t have the opportunities, so it was a way for them to get the idea of how it would be if I was to go and study out of town.”

According to the Pew study, Latino student enrollment grew nationally by 349,000 between 2009 and 2010 — outpacing the growth in the number of African-American (88,000) Asian-American and (43,000) students.

Non-Latino white enrollment decreased 320,000 during the same time period, according to the study.

The permit Occupy Iowa City received on Oct. 26 included tent-occupancy restrictions that were not a part of the original permit protesters signed.

The issued permit stated no more than six-person tents were allowed on the green, which protesters stated would be difficult when colder weather approached.

“What we’re going to fight is the six-man tent limitations,” said Occupy representative Tom Hudson, noting that space heaters would be dangerous in smaller tents. “Winter’s going to come up, and

Dodge said the UI is tackling.

She said her office works closely with the Center for Diversity and Enrichment to provide Spanish-language recruitment material as well as the Pen Pal, summer institute, and other school programs focused on Latinos.

Affordability is also key, said Mario Duarte, the head of the UI Latino Council — a faculty-staff organization created to help Latino students.

“The two-year schools are going to be a much better buy than a four-year school,” Duarte said.

UI programs help students financially through such scholarships as Advantage Iowa, Dodge said. “[Admissions] makes an intentional effort to ensure that we identify collegeready students of color and make sure that they know what is available for them at the University of Iowa,” said UI Assistant Provost for Admissions Michael Barron. “At the end of the day, minority students are students first.”

we have to do something to stay warm.”

But some city councilors felt a bigger Arctic tent, which was proposed by occupiers, could breach the category of a permanent structure.

“A permanent structure, a larger tent — what’s the distinction?” said Councilor Regenia Bailey. “If, for example, we went down the road of winter camping and larger, tents what is the distinction between that and a permanent structure?”

Protesters were also at odds with the removed renewal clause; the permit occupants applied for stated that the permit could be renewed at the end of the initial four months.

The delivered permit, however, states that protesters will have to reapply for a permit in February.

No changes were made to issues of permit renewal at

Padilla said such scholarships enabled her to attend a four-year college, unlike many of her Latino peers in her community.

And many organizations, such as the UI Latino Council and Center for Diversity and Enrichment, work to provide opportunities for Latino students to further encourage increased participation on college campuses.

“I’ve been concerned about the numbers [of students participating] being low,” Duarte said. “We need to have Latinos working in all fields.”

But the increase shows minority attitudes toward education have changed, Duarte said.

“I think most people understand the importance of a four-year college education,” he said. “It’s part of the whole makeup with the country. It’s part of our whole value system. I think that’s filtering through all … [ethnic] groups.”

Sergio Murillo, 20, junior, Chicago College was an expectation for Sergio Murillo. “[My parents’] whole thing was that they wanted something better for me,” said the computer-science major.

Hudson believes this will be an issue for protesters, because their presence at College Green Park will extend past the four months.

“I fully anticipate us to still be here Feb. 26,” Hudson said. “It’s a huge concern because with a renewal, it’s a pretty automatically updated thing. Applying for another permit could provide us with a whole new permit with new restrictions and regulations.”

Though not all issues with the permit were addressed during Tuesday’s public hearing, councilors and occupiers agreed they needed to continue communication.

“I would like to see the movement and the city continue on in productive dialogue,” Hayek said.

siblings, which then led to me.”

A part of the Sigma Lambda Beta fraternity, Murillo said, college could be hard for some Latinos, because of the change in demographics.

“I was pretty taken aback by how few Latinos there are out here,” he said. “I was not really used to that.

I was always used to being around minorities, and that’s the one thing that really changed when I came here.”

Isidro Talavera, 21, senior, Elgin, Ill. Until high school, Isidro Talavera thought his only career options were to join the military or work in a factory.

“My older brother went into the military,” the UI senior said. “[He] didn’t have the option to go to school, so that was the only other option where [he] could have a steady income …”

But after doing well in school, a teacher told Talavera to apply to college. Now, he is proud to be the first male in his family to go to college.

“At first, I didn’t really think much of it, but it’s challenging, because usually you look up to people and you aspire to be like what they are, but in my family it seems like it’s flipped,” said the computer-science major. “People are starting to look up to me. So it’s kind of hard because you carry the weight … you’re always worrying not to mess up.

because I am the first.”

Talavera said he believes Latino students who make it to college know the value of hard work.

“They’re probably the cream of the crop, the top of their class, the ones who actually made a difference …” he said. “They are the ones who got out and were actually given an opportunity to get out, because they worked hard.”

Jessica Padilla, 19, sophomore, Muscatine Jessica Padilla wants to help students like herself see the value in higher education.

That’s why the 19-yearold is considering a career path in student affairs as a counseling specialist for

retention on campus and environment — her dream career.

“I’m really passionate …” she said. “I try to put myself in organizations that will help get me there.”

Being involved with many UI programs, such as the Center for Development and Enrichment, Iowa Edge, and Association of Latinos Moving Ahead, have helped in realizing her passion.

“I just fell into place with where I want to go,” said the UI sophomore. “Being here has helped me to get a different view and that there are many other diverse cultures that are worth trying to reach out to and get to know.”

FEMA collects building input Ballroom dance flashes its groove

FEMA will take comments via email for 30 days.

By AUDREY ROEN audrey-roen@uiowa.edu

Iowa City residents may have the final say on whether several University of Iowa buildings damaged during the 2008 flood will be demolished.

Following a request from the UI in 2009 to have the buildings demolished, Federal Emergency Management Agency officials said they want input from the UI students, professors, and the public on the historic structures during a Tuesday meeting.

“The original Arts Building constructed in 1936 is of primary interest to me and to many interested in historic preservation of the college campus,” said UI Archivist David McCartney. “It’s a symbol of an era of great dedication to the university.”

In order to avoid demolition, FEMA’s plans include mothballing a section of the Art Building that the University would be able to find a use for later on, creating a book describing the architectural history of the buildings, and a documentary film reflecting the important history of the original Hancher Auditorium, Voxman School of Music,

Hancher, Voxman Music Building, and Clapp Recital sit in the Iowa River floodwater on June 16, 2008.

(The Daily Iowan/File Photo) and the Art Building.

FEMA historic preservation specialist Teri Toye said the organization will take comments from the public for 30 days via email. Toye also said the group will speak with any other interested parties.

“When there are adverse effects to historic properties, we take steps to minimize effects,” she said.

FEMA hopes to hear from people such as art Professor Emeritus Joseph Patrick, who taught in the building for 39.

“We need to understand that history of community, and our culture is some-

how symbolized and embodied in the buildings of which history happens,” Patrick said.

As a result of reconnaissance survey findings, it was determined the historic river valley — where these buildings reside — was eligible for a memorandum agreement that will preserve the buildings as much as possible.

Patrick said he hopes others in the community think critically about the future of the area.

“I would urge the people who make these decisions to consider not just the building but also the psy-

chology of what can be done to the better or what might be done to its detriment,” Patrick said.

Local Iowa City business owners urged Iowa City officials to support a proposed tax district plan.

“I don’t know of any other way I could pay so little — just a few hundred more than my Downtown Association dues — and get so much value, especially with such strong support from the University of Iowa,” said Bill Nusser, the owner of Hand’s Jewlers, 109 E. Washington.

After hearing from representatives of downtown, the Iowa City city councilors unanimously agreed upon a 4-0 vote regarding Self-Supporting the Municipal Improvement District on Tuesday.

The council held the second of three public hearings required to pass the tax, with Councilor Terry Dickens absent, and Councilors Matt Hayek and Connie Champion abstaining because of conflicts of interest.

Many business owners believed establishing a such a tax district, which would tax businesses at a rate of $2 for every $1,000

in taxable value, would greatly benefit downtown and the North Side Marketplace. The University of Iowa also agreed to annually contribute $100,000 to the district.

Money from the levy would then go to improvements and marketing for downtown and the North Side, said Wendy Ford, the city’s economic-development coordinator. A majority of the revenue would allow the district to hire a business development manager and an assistant business manager.

“I think this is going to be a win for downtown Iowa City,” said Councilor Mike Wright. “This has my wholehearted support.”

The tax alone would generate $240,000 a year for the district, not including the university’s involvement, Ford said.

Karen Kubby, the chairwoman of the Downtown Association’s tax-district committee, appealed to the council in support of the district.

The committee originally intended to implement the tax until fiscal year 2013, but will now move

forward with plans this January.

“We pledge to work hard and ensure success, but we need your votes to make it happen,” Kubby said.

A petition signed by 40 percent of business owners within the district was submitted to city council in August, going beyond the required 25 percent required for consideration.

The Planning and Zoning Commission voted in favor of the proposal midSeptember after the required petition signatures were collected.

The Iowa City Chamber of Commerce also supported creating the tax district.

“Our downtown is right for more development, retail, and owner occupied housing,” said Rebecca Neades, a member of the chamber.

The next hearing will be held on Nov. 22 with the final hearing taking place Dec. 6. Opposition has been voiced against the ordinance, and a counter petition was filed by the City Clerk Oct. 27.

Roughly 17 percent of business owners have petitioned against the tax

district, Ford said, and they own 21 percent of property values.

In order for the proposal to be dismissed, a protest petition must be signed by 40 percent of property owners with 40 percent of the assessed value and is submitted before the ordinance passes.

If passed, the tax would be tried for four years. If the levy proves successful, it may be renewed after the initial period.

The Daily Iowan sat down with Chris Dunlay, the treasurer for the Hawkeye Ballroom Dance Company, to talk about the UI’s ballroom-dance organization.

The Daily Iowan: What has changed within the Hawkeye Ballroom Dance Company in the past year?

Chris Dunlay: I definitely think that we have brought in a larger crowd.

Most of the people were beginners last year and now have started an intermediate class. A lot of people who were beginners last year can take these classes and keep improving — I would say everybody has definitely improved. If anything, it has gotten a whole lot more fun, because we have gotten to go to competitions and I feel like we have kept things pretty well professional and are being recognized by the university. The more we improve, we can represent the university better and will be recognized as a vital student organization on campus.

DI: Members of the company recently returned from the Badger Ballroom Dancesport Classic in Madison, Wis. Can you tell me a bit about that experience?

Dunlay: We had 20 dancers go and compete in Madison last weekend. We competed in all of the American ballroom styles for newcomer and bronze categories of the competition as well as some of the international styles. There are many levels of skill within the competition.

Right now, we are still playing around with the newcomer and bronze levels, and at Wisconsin, a lot of us were called back for quarterfinal, semifinal, and final rounds. We did the Iowa Dancesport Classic last semester, and a few more of us went, because it was closer. But with this trip it was different. It was the University of Wisconsin’s first competition that

it has ever done, so it was a way to support other schools who are still starting up with ballroom competitions.

DI: You have a trip to Ohio coming up for the Ohio Star Ball — How is the group preparing for its first national collegiate competition?

Dunlay: Practice has been a little more intense.

We are getting instruction from local dance instructors at Dance New York, who just opened up a studio in Coralville and they’ve been a great help. They have a lot of experience with competition and know what judges look for. We look at them like advisors.

Normally, we only practice one day a week, aside from our lessons, but recently I have worked on getting more time for group to practice, so we have additional practice time on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The collegiate portion of the competition will be on Nov. 19th. There’s going to be 17 of us for this trip, and we will make the drive to Ohio together on the 18th.

DI: The Haweye Ballroom Dance Company also plans dance events on the UI campus. Tell me about the event you will host tonight.

Dunlay: In addition to all of the competition, we don’t want to limit the group to just people who want to compete, but we also want to create opportunities for the people who want to do this socially. We try to have two social dances per semester. The first one was a Welcome Week dance in August. The Masquerade Ball tonight has a sort of Halloween theme, except it is a little after Halloween because of the competition we had last weekend. This is a great time for students to come and pick something up.

Coming to these social dances is a time to see that there isn’t a lot of pressure.

It helps build skill, and you can meet a lot of great people and make friends through dance.

but I didn’t. So that’s the way it goes.”

Minnesota recovered its onside kick with 8:22 remaining in the game.

Quarterback MarQueis Gray ran for a touchdown 12 plays later, putting the Gophers up 22-21 — the game’s eventual final score.

The closest Iowa player to the kick was Jason White, who said Tuesday he’d “never seen a better executed onside kick.”

White said coaches told the return unit to be aware of a possible onside attempt, but Iowa wasn’t in an ideal lineup to cover such a play.

“It was in the back of my mind at the time,” White said. “When they lined up it was kind of different, so as they were approaching we kind of knew something was up … At that point, we were not prepared.”

SOCCER CONTINUED FROM 10 has outscored its past two opponents (Northwestern and Wisconsin) by 8-1.

DeMoss netted three of those goals.

But Michigan State is one of the better attacking teams in the Big Ten, Rainey said.

The Spartans rely heavily on two players, senior Laura Heyboer and junior Olivia Stander; the two have scored 29 of the team’s 38 goals. Heyboer has 18 goals and nine assists on the season, and Stander has contributed 11 goals and nine helpers.

The Hawkeyes will need to remain calm and relaxed before the postseason and

GOLF CONTINUED FROM 10 under 212 for the two-day event. The senior’s firstround score of 4-under 67 was his best round of the fall; Kelpin birdied four holes and parred the other 15. He was also the only Hawkeye to post a subpar round in Dallas.

Iowa’s failure to recover the ball wasn’t its only special-team gaffe against Minnesota. Mike Meyer missed two field goals in the first half, one from 24 yards away and one from 43.

The sophomore is now 12-of-16 this season, tied for the second-most field goals in the Big Ten. “Mike Meyer is a good kicker,” Ferentz said. “We all have games like that.

The best miss them. Things like that happen. He’s not the best yet, but he’s got a

Sports chance to be a really good player here.”

Though Iowa “didn’t get what we needed out of special teams” against Minnesota, Ferentz said, he has been pleased with the season’s progress after specialteam hurt the squad for most of 2010.

“I think we’re gaining ground, quite frankly,” Ferentz said. “That’s one of the things I’m optimistic about.”

Ferentz, players weigh in on Hawkeye fan senti ment Iowa’s second loss in as many years to Minnesota has drawn plenty of criticism from fans. Ferentz responded to the topic by saying he’s more focused on his players’ frustration.

“I don’t mean to sound callous. My No. 1 responsibility is how our players are feeling and how they’re reacting to things and responding to things,” he said. “… That being said, we don’t ever want to dis-

appoint our fans. We appreciate our fans. Nobody’s got better fans than us, home or away.

“The people that are pulling for us, I’m sure they’re all dying a thousand deaths, just like we do. It’s tough to lose.”

Defensive tackle Steve Bigach said such reaction comes with a loss.

“We probably should have beat that team,” Bigach. “We didn’t play well, and they played well enough to beat us. We got what we deserved. But we’re on to this week, and all that’s behind us. We have Michigan coming in — we have a chance to redeem ourselves.”

Keenan Davis’ availabili ty unclear Wide receiver Keenan Davis did not play at Minnesota after leaving Iowa’s game against Indiana on Oct. 22 with a sprained ankle. The junior said he’s feeling “better and better,” and he returned to practice in a fuller capacity on Tuesday.

concentrate on playing good team defense, said senior Morgan Showalter.

“We came out fired up ready to play that game and came out a different team than what they were expecting,” Showalter said about October the win against Michigan State.

“Our defense has gotten better every game — we held Wisconsin to three shots on goal last weekend.

“Going into the tournament, we’re not going to get [many] shots on goal so we need to finish the few that we get. To help [our offense], we’ll need a shutout.”

The majority of the Hawkeyes on this year’s roster will experience postseason play for the first time, but DeMoss said that could be an advantage

The Big Ten announced its all-conference teams on Tuesday, and Showalter was named second-team All-Big Ten. Showalter switched from midfield to defense at the start of the season; she has started every game in her

career. She’s Iowa’s all-time leader in assists (29), including nine this season.

Freshmen Cloé Lacasse and Katie Brown were recognized when they were named to the league’s AllFreshman team. Lacasse leads Iowa in scoring with 12 goals and six assists, giving her 30 points on the season. She is three goals and 6 points shy of former Hawkeye Sarah Lynch, the school record-holder for points and goals in a single season.

Lacasse and fellow freshman Mel Pickert were also recognized by TopDrawerSoccer.com as members of its 2011 Women’s Freshman Top 100. Lacasse is No. 22 on the list, and Pickert is No. 77.

round marked the first time this fall season in which Kelpin fired Iowa’s low score at a tournament; he had been the team’s second-lowest scorer at the previous four events.

Chris Brant was able to post a few decent rounds after struggling at the Rod Myers Invitational and the U.S. Collegiate Championship. Brant carded rounds of even-par, 1-over, and 2-over, tying for 30th.

“At times, I was good. I

just didn’t convert on a lot of opportunities this week that I had in front of me,” Brant said. “I hit a lot of good shots close to the pin and didn’t roll in enough putts.”

Iowa’s two other scorers were Ian Vandersee and Brad George, who ended play at 218 and tied for 43rd.

Vandersee shot two rounds of 1-over 72 and 3over 74 in the second round. Part of the redshirt

freshman’s success in the final round was thanks to his birdies on all three of the course’s par-5 holes.

“I’ve never been a short play off the tee, so being able to hit a fairly lengthy tee shot helped with the par-5s out there,” he said.

“My misses [with my driver] were in places that were very easy to manage from, so I was able to make birdies on the par-5s fairly easily.”

because of a desire to make a good impression on the rest of the conference. “[Rainey] has told us everyone has the same record now, it’s all 0-0,” she said. “We have to go out and prove to everyone we’re here for a reason and that we should end up on top. We play with a chip on our shoulder — some teams still doubt us because of last season, and we’re hoping to prove a lot of people wrong.”

MINNESOTA 71, BEMIDJI STATE 58

Gophers hold off Bemidji

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Tubby Smith knew Trevor Mbakwe and Ralph Sampson III would be way too much for little Bemidji State in the paint.

What the Minnesota coach really wanted to see was how the many new faces on the Golden Gophers handled their first game in the Maroon and Gold.

They were shaky at best, allowing the Division-II school from northern Minnesota to hang around a lot longer than anyone really expected.

Mbakwe had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and Sampson scored 15, leading Minnesota to a 71-58 exhibition victory over Bemidji State on Tuesday night.

“They looked a little nervous,” Smith said about the second unit. “They didn’t play well together, didn’t shoot it well, didn’t do a lot of things well.”

Rodney Williams added 10 points for the Golden Gophers, who outrebounded Bemidji State 45-23.

David Berthene had 21 points and James Ellisor finished with 12 for the Beavers, who didn’t look intimidated by the big school in the big city. They hit 10 3-pointers to keep the

deficit under double digits for much of the game.

“It being a Big Ten team, the University of Minnesota, is a special deal for all the kids from Minnesota,” said Bemidji coach Matt Bowen, who has six players from the state on his roster.

“It means a lot for exposure, the game will be on Big Ten Network [Wednesday], that’s the only time we will be on national TV.” The Gophers weren’t able to really put the game away until a 14-2 run gave them a 19-point lead with under 7:30 to play. They turned the ball over 14 times and struggled when their starters went to the bench.

A group that included freshmen Joe Coleman, Elliott Eliason, and Oto Osenieks and sophomores Maverick Ahanmisi and Chip Armelin were outscored 8-2 during an early portion of the first half and 11-2 midway through the second half to allow the Beavers to hang around.

“I think we all were kind of nervous,” said Mbakwe, a senior. “I had a little jitters.

This is the first game, and when you get fans you want to play your best, especially when it’s your first game.”

Smith said he wanted to see his team play a faster, more uptempo brand of basketball after being limited

to mostly half-court play because of injuries and defections at the point guard position last year.

Freshman Andre Hollins got the start at point guard and tried to push the action as much as possible, leading out in transition for long outlet passes. He had eight assists to go along with six points and four rebounds; junior-college transfer Julian Welch missed the game with a sprained ankle.

Missing one of their top shooters, the Gophers scored just 30 points in the first half. The Beavers hit four 3-pointers in the first half to hang around and were down just nine at the break.

“We certainly gained ground on the second group,” Bowen said. “I thought [the performance was] more encouraging than discouraging for us, by far.”

Smith hardly looked pleased at times, ripping into his second unit in the second half when Eliason didn’t get back on defense and allowed an easy lay-up for Ellisor that made it 4233.

“Those guys really haven’t been on the court,” Smith said. “I thought they all looked a little nervous.”

Once the starters came back in, the Gophers took

control. They outscored Bemidji 14-2 over a threeminute stretch to take a 6143 lead. Mbakwe and Sampson each had putback dunks, and the bigger Gophers overpowered the Beavers in the paint to earn several trips to the freethrow line.

“It starts on defense,” Mbakwe said. “I think we just got caught out of position a couple times. I think probably just mentally and playing hard. We lacked the intensity at times. When we picked it up, we were able to extend our lead a little bit.

But we kept them in the game.”

A barrage of 3s from Berthene, Ellisor, and Jake Schalow followed, but it was too late for Bemidji to pull off what would have been a stunning upset.

Berthen went 5-for-11 from 3-point range, and Schalow was 4-for-7 on his way to 12 points.

Minnesota finished with just 12 fast-break points and went 1-for-7 from 3point range. Smith said this is the best outside shooting team he’s had in his five years at Minnesota, but replacing career 3-point leader Blake Hoffarber may be more difficult than it first looked.

Austin Hollins had the lone 3-pointer on Tuesday night.

dailyiowan.com for more sports Davis ranks second among Iowa receivers with 30 catches for 463 yards and four touchdowns this season.

“I don’t know if he’ll be good enough to play Big Ten football Saturday,” Ferentz said. “We’ll see how the week goes.”

McNutt a finalist for receiving award Iowa wide receiver Marvin McNutt was named a finalist for the FRS Receiving Performance of the Year award on Tuesday for his performance in Iowa’s Homecoming win over Indiana two weeks ago.

The senior caught six passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns in the 45-24 win. The first of those scoring grabs — an 80-yard scamper down the sideline after shimmying away from four Hoosier defenders — pushed McNutt ahead of Tim Dwight and Danan Hughes to become Iowa’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions. The old mark was 21; McNutt now has 25.

The award for which the St. Louis native is now a finalist is a fo u r - m o n t h competition in which fans McNutt vote on indi- receiver vidual performances by week week. McNutt advances to the finals with his win; voting will open on Jan. 16 and run through Jan. 22 on the award’s Facebook page. The winner will be announced on Feb. 3.

McNutt is Iowa’s leading receiver thus far this season, with 48 catches for 858 yards and nine touchdowns. His 107.2 yards per game is the secondmost in the Big Ten, and his nine scores are the most of any conference wide receiver.

Women’s golf slips The Iowa women’s golf team took a step back on Tuesday at the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational.

The Hawkeyes shot a combined 25-over 313 and fell from

kick was “a great call on their part.” The execution was “outstanding.”

During his Tuesday press conference, Ferentz changed his stance. The

13th-year Hawkeye head coach put most of the blame on his shoulders.

making his approach, I almost called time-out. I’m standing next to an official.

a tie for seventh place at the start of the round to 13th by the end of the day. The performance came one day after the team posted its best single-round score of the season, a 9-over 297.

When asked what was different between the two rounds, head coach Megan Menzel said the players let bad shots stay in their minds for too long.

“We just mentally got in our own way today,” she said.

“Shelby [Phillips] obviously had a nice round again today, but for the most part, everyone else struggled out there a bit.”

While the team struggled on Tuesday, Phillips put together a solid round at the University of Texas Golf Club. The freshman fired a 3-over 75, which put her in a tie for 13th place.

“She’s looking very confident. I was really proud of her,” Menzel said. “She finished with three really good pars today. I don’t think it came as easily [Tuesday] as it did [Monday], but she really managed to stay with it and finish strong.”

Senior Chelsea Harris is in a tie for 39th place after shooting a 77. Freshman Lauren English is tied for 46th after a 79, and junior Kristi Cardwell is tied for 55th place after carding an 82.

Gigi DiGrazia rounded out the Hawkeyes’ card with an 82; she sits in 78th place.

Menzel said the Hawkeyes need to refocus as it prepares for the final round of action.

“We have to get back to what we know works: playing one shot at a time,” she said. “A couple players had a bad hole today; we have to get better about letting it go and looking at the shot in front of us instead of continuing to let the bad shots stay with us and pull us down.”

The team will tee off the final round this morning in Austin.

In return, the Hawkeyes got average results.

Iowa finished the Royal Oaks Invitational on Tuesday tied with Tulsa for ninth, posting a score of 11-over 863. The Black and Gold placed one stroke behind both Lamar and Houston, which tied for seventh in the 14-team field.

The average 18-hole score over the three rounds played at the par 71 Royal Oaks Country Club was 72.52. The average score for Iowa’s five golfers was 72.47.

Iowa head coach Mark Hankins said the team’s poor second round prevented it from finishing higher overall, especially after the Hawkeyes got off to a good start in the first round.

“About midway through the second round, I just feel like we got impatient,” Hankins said. “I don’t know if we got fatigued, or we just got frustrated with not making enough birdies, or

what. But we made some poor choices down the stretch [in the second round], and it basically cost us most of the tournament.”

Hankins’ squad was tied for second following the first round on Monday morning.

But after a less-thanstellar second round score of 11-over, the Hawkeyes ended day one in 10th.

“We were playing with a Texas A&M team that was playing very well, and I think the guys kind of just got out of their own zone let Kelpin and their sursenior roundings affect them a little bit,” Hankins said. “We had a good round in the morning, especially from Barrett [Kelpin], but [Monday] afternoon, it was just the opposite extreme. “[We] probably played about as poorly as we could play.”

Kelpin was a highlight of the Hawkeyes’ play in Dallas, tying for 19th at 1SEE GOLF, 8

The Iowa soccer team finished the regular season 13-4-2 — 5-4-2 in the Big Ten — and was rewarded with an invitation to the Big Ten Tournament. No. 6seeded Iowa will face No. 3seed Michigan State.

The other teams compet-

ing, in order of seeding, are Penn State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio State, and host Northwestern.

The Big Ten reinstated the postseason tournament after a two-year hiatus for this season; the last tournament was in 2008 at the Iowa Soccer Complex. Iowa played in that tournament because it received an automatic host bid rather than because of its 3-6-1 conference record.

“The reasoning was to stretch the regular season out so there would be a little more rest for teams,” head coach Ron Rainey said on why the conference

put its postseason on hiatus. “I’ve always been a proponent of the tournament, but I understand how a stretched-out regular season will have fewer injuries and a higher quality of games.”

Iowa was coming off its first loss of the season when it first faced the Spartans, on Oct. 2 in Iowa City; Michigan had beaten the Black and Gold two days earlier, 1-0.

The Hawkeyes struck early against the Spartans, though. Junior Dana Dalrymple scored in the seventh minute on a goal assisted by freshman Cloé Lacasse and senior Alyssa

Cosnek.

That score proved to be the difference — the defense shut out the Spartan attack and held the lead for more than 80 minutes of play.

“That was one of our best games of the year, when we played [Michigan State],” sophomore midfielder Leah DeMoss said. “The result we got against them showed we were a better team, and I believe we’re the better team now. We all gelled together [in] that game, and our team really took off after that.”

While Iowa scored only once in that game, the team SEE SOCCER, 8
