Business owners, community mem-bers and city and university officials agree: Campustown could use an update.

“I think there is a way to do it, and I don’t think that it needs to cost millions of dol-lars or remove the uniqueness that we have there,” said Chandra Peterson, secretary of Campustown Action Association and senior in political science.

CAA has developed five key goals for the area that can be acted on in the short and long term. For example, the goal of improving cleanliness could be achieved through every-thing from volunteer cleanup events to resur-facing older buildings.

The goals were developed based on the results of a survey conducted last semester. Campustown was viewed as “tired, run-down and dated” by 62 percent of survey respon-dents, but positive attributes such as its con-venience, cultural vibrancy and local shops were praised. Still, 58 percent want to see

Association hones in on improvement goals

President draws fire with State of the Union address

By Kelly Madsen Daily staff writer

Iowa State is hosting “Don’t Follow Me; This isn’t Twitter #StalkingAwarenessPanel” to educate students and commu-nity members about stalking.On Thursday in the Sun Room in the Memorial Union panelists will discuss stalking and how it can affect students, staff and faculty.Panelists from Department of Public Safety, Judicial Affairs and Student Assistance were chosen to share their perspectives on various aspects of stalking.Panel discussions will focus on how students can handle stalking situations, the emo-tional effects stalking can take on students, and how people can utilize campus resources to report and document stalking and harassment.The policies Iowa State has in place for stalking and harass-ment will also be part of the conversation.The Sexual Misconduct Education Committee and the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center are coordinating the awareness panel.This event is part of National Stalking Awareness Month, which aims to empower commu-nities to “know, name and stop” stalking by hosting educational events.Starting at 5:30 pm, this event is scheduled to last approximately one and a half to two hours.

Students will have the chance to gather in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday to learn about their opportunities to study abroad.

Michael Misra’s story:

Since his freshman year of college in 2009, Michael Misra, senior in global re-source systems, has worked as a student travel consultant for the Agricultural Study Abroad office. He has studied in China and Costa Rica and has more study abroad trips in his future.

“I have always been interested in learn-ing about different cultures and trying new things,” Misra said. “What really exposed me to studying abroad, however, was my freshman year of college when I helped to host 30 Chinese and South Korean stu-dents who were visiting ISU. Studying abroad grew to be a good way to see my friends while learning and trying new things.”

Misra emphasized that study abroad has impacted his life in many ways.

“The biggest change for myself is that studying abroad has given me an open mind,” he said. “I try to see policies and other things from both points of view so that I can understand where a person is coming from.”

“Studying abroad also helped to open my eyes to problems that we have in the world,” Misra said. “When you see peo-ple struggling everyday against a prob-lem that you might never face, that be-comes something you can’t simply ignore anymore.”

Misra has had some diverse experiences abroad.

“Some of the things I have had the opportunity to do so far is to climb a mountain in China where foreigners are typically not allowed to go, Mongolian wrestling in a competition, go to the Oriental Pearl Tower, sleep in a yurt, use a machete on a pineapple, swim with stingrays and fish larger than myself, and of course meeting new friends,” Misra said.

Nicholas Morton’s story:

Nicholas Morton, sophomore in environmental science, traveled to Fiji in fall 2011. He says he loved it so much, he hopes to study abroad again very soon.

“Since I’ve been in Fiji, I’ve gained a new outlook on life and learned to ap-preciate every little thing that happens

President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech on Tuesday night drew fire and praise from both sides of the aisle almost immediately after he finished speaking.

Trying to send a message in his final SOTU speech be-fore his re-election bid in November, Obama outlined his accomplishments as president, stressed the importance of economic recovery and set the tone for his campaign.

Going off the analogy of military cohesiveness to stress what he would like to bring to Congress, Obama highlight-ed several key points in his hour plus long speech that he felt needed to be addressed in the upcoming year.

Topics discussed were tax reform, education, housing, immigration, energy, trade and, most importantly, jobs. Obama called for such things as the raising of taxes on the wealthiest Americans to help pay off the national debt as well as tougher standards for teachers, college debt for-

Editor’s note:It has been six months since Lane4 was dropped as the master developer for a Campustown renovation, but the conversation is not over. This series presents a variety of views on the future of the area.Part one focuses on the business owners, especially members of the Campustown Action Association; part two focuses on the role of the city of Ames in Campustown affairs; and part three focuses on the relationship between the university and Campustown.Each stakeholder has unique wants and needs, but there is common ground: a desire for improvement.

Celebrity NewsNotes and events.Vanessa Paradis speaks out on split rumorsAll eyes have been on Vanessa Paradis this week as she has been spotted attending events solo, fueling more gossip that her 14-year relationship with Johnny Depp is on the rocks.On Tuesday, the French singer/actress was asked how she handles the rumors that she and Depp have basically ended their relationship, and she shrugged off the reports.“It depends which rumor,” she said, according to People magazine.“Here, this is one that could hurt my family. After that ... they say that we have 52 houses in France, we separate in the winter, we get married every summer,” she continued. “Me, I’m in my 12th pregnancy.”But more to the point: “Yes,” Paradis said, the rumors “are false.”

because it has a bigger purpose,” Morton said. “When you go to other places, you think it’s just going to be another experience, but it turns out to be so much more.”

In Fiji, Morton danced on national tele-vision, visited a Fijian orphanage, and even swam with dolphins in the open ocean dur-ing his orientation.Many students who study abroad find their trips change their outlook on the world around them.

“Programs are often a maturing experience for students because they must learn to live in another country and integrate into another culture where English is not the primary lan-guage,” said Erin French, international pro-grams coordinator for the College of Design. “Students learn to be more adaptable, handle stressful situations better and develop leader-ship skills.”

French said students benefit academically from studying abroad because they have the opportunity to take classes that are “integrat-ed with the college’s curriculum, thus helping students not to spend an extra semester or year at ISU.”

Brandon Woods’ story:

Brandon Woods, senior in biology, studied abroad in Tasmania in fall 2010.

“I love traveling, the outdoors and adven-ture,” Woods said. “I chose Tasmania because I wanted to go somewhere that was new and out of my comfort zone. Tasmania sounded like something that was extraordinary and ex-otic to me.”

Woods got the opportunity to go cave spe-lunking, snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, white water rafting and explore the national parks that make up approximately a third of Tasmania.

Benefits of studying abroad:

All three students said studying abroad

benefits students not only in the present but also in the future. Woods’ experiences in Tasmania solidified his decision to apply for veterinary school last fall. Morton’s led him to get a job as a peer adviser at the Study Abroad Office.

“Studying abroad has, if anything, actu-ally decreased the time that I will be spending at Iowa State,” Misra said. “I’m majoring in global resource systems and sociology with a minor in entrepreneurial studies. Normally this would increase my time but because of the credits I have received from studying abroad, it’s been drastically cut.”

Misra said studying abroad has also helped with his grade point average. He also said that studying abroad helps with his future job prospects.

“Many organizations are looking for em-ployees that can work in a global market. Studying abroad can also lead to jobs abroad,” Misra said. “In addition, you gain valuable skills such as patience and the ability to not worry about the small stuff. Plus students can get credits for their experience.”

Misra has an internship in Peru planned for the summer. About 50 ISU students com-pleted internships abroad last year, and the number grows yearly as students realize the benefits that the experience provides.

“Many students find that they can get the benefits of working abroad: exposure to a new culture, learning a new language, getting hands-on work experience in their field of study, [and] making connections abroad that can help them later in finding full-time em-ployment after graduation by doing an intern-ship abroad,” said Susan Posch, work abroad program coordinator for the Study Abroad Center.

Campustown as “vibrant and energetic” in the future.

Since Lane4 was dropped as the master developer for Campustown in June, CAA has hosted cleanup events, so-licited input from the commu-nity and facilitated discussions on the future of Campustown.

“What we’re trying to do now is the much harder route, but it’s the necessary route given the businesses that ex-ist,” said Ryan Jeffrey, vice president of CAA and owner of Arcadia.

Building cooperation

Campustown Action Association is a business as-sociation, not a developer. One of its major goals is to facilitate communication between the many stakeholders involved in Campustown.

“There has to be a meeting of the minds. I really believe that there are a lot of common goals,” said John Haila, presi-dent of CAA and president of Haila Architecture.

Part of the reason CAA con-ducted the survey was to get more people involved, and the

association’s monthly meet-ings are open to the public.

Peterson said the five goals developed are broad because they wanted to emphasize things that everyone could agree on — such as a desire for diverse local business and en-tertainment options.

After the goals have been distributed and discussed, CAA will work on developing action items to implement them.

“The potential is there. It’s just a matter of getting every-one on the same page and cre-ating a plan that’s workable,

affordable and achievable,” Haila said.

Things to keep

“We want viable business-es to succeed,” Haila said. “We don’t want to chase them out.”

Matthew Goodman, Ames City Council member and owner of several Campustown restaurants including The Fighting Burrito, pointed out that Campustown has an in-credibly diverse set of dining options and business owners in just a few blocks.

“For the small space that it occupies, that’s unparalleled,” he said. “I don’t want to see that go away.”

Several people also said the bar scene shouldn’t go away.

“I think that’s what makes Campustown vibrant, is that it really is a focal point for a good part of our population after 9 at night,” said Dan Culhane, president and CEO of the Ames Economic Development Commission.

However, he said the area also needs to be a destination at 9 a.m. and noon.

Missing pieces

“I believe that the commu-nity views Campustown as just an unsafe place, a place where college kids go to get wild,” said Tim Gleason, co-owner of Random Goods and property manager for the Champlain properties. “To me, the big thing is just changing the per-ceptions of what Campustown businesses have to offer.”

CAA has identified creat-ing an environment that is more welcoming to all ages as one of its five major goals.

“I think it needs to be trans-formed into a generally more attractive, more comfortable place,” Jeffrey said.

He said he would like to see more benches, open space and activities — things that in-spire people to just spend time in an area, without needing a destination.

Many CAA members also expressed a desire for more cultural activities and artwork, such as the mural painted in the spring of 2010.

Throughout the Lane4 process, there was a desire

for more national brands and stores that appeal to people of all ages, such as a grocery store, and those desires haven’t gone away.

Culhane said he sees poten-tial for that type of reconstruc-tion at the corner of Lincoln Way and Sheldon Avenue.

Long-term goals

Goodman said he’d like to see a major investment in the Campustown dining scene, such as an upscale pizza place with a microbrewery.

“There needs to be a pretty nice opportunity for people to spend money, eat food and drink beer,” he said.

Haila said his “pipe dream” for Campustown would be to see Welch Avenue and Chamberlain Street turned into a pedestrian mall with plenty of outdoor seating and cultural activities. He was inspired by a recent trip to Europe.

“It just felt alive and vibrant and a place you just want to go, to be,” he said. “And that’s when community happens.”

giveness, a path to citizenship for immigrants and increased American manufacturing, par-ticularly in the area of clean energy.

“The President’s speech was the beginning of the 2012 race for the White House,” said Steffen Schmidt, university professor of politi-cal science. “It was a positioning by Obama on how the Democrats plan to run in the fall. It was also used to help pass certain legislation in the House.”

It is true that the Republicans appear to be gearing up to launch a massive presidential campaign against Obama this year, but so far infighting between candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich has been held up in the pri-maries and reflexively the Republican Party has struggled to unify around a single candidate.

Last night, when he discussed raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans, Obama seized on this opportunity and even made an indirect jab at Romney, who recently showed he only paid 14 percent in taxes last year.

“Obama’s speech wasn’t any more unusual than Bush, Reagan or Carter in their election years’ State of the Union speeches,” said Dianne Bystrom, director of the Catt Center for Women and Politics. “It was an agenda for what he want-ed to accomplish on the campaign trail.”

The speech on Tuesday night was directed towards mobilizing the president’s liberal base for the election, especially through such rheto-ric as the military analogy, tax, energy and edu-cation reform, but looks to have had less of an impact on right-wing Republicans.

“It was a well-delivered speech,” Bystrom said. “The most powerful part was the open-ing and closing, drawing the military analogies which will hit home with Democrats and inde-pendents. ... However, the economy is the most important to voters. The last couple of economic reports have been favorable to Obama, but the economy still needs to improve for him to so-lidify a victory in November.”

Aside from the election, the other question is how this speech will impact the Republican-

controlled House of Representatives, which has been very defiant towards Obama this past year. Additionally, Schmidt said, Obama may have been too broad with his speech.

“[Obama] kind of went through too many things and was more or less a checklist,” Schmidt said. “Not very many, if any, of his proposals will get through the House. The Republicans have been very successful at blocking anything that will help Obama get the economy moving again. ... He also never really talked about the deficit and spending cuts.”

After the speech, the Republican Party gave a televised response, delivered by Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana, who accused the president of having a “pro-poverty policy” and expanding the national deficit with massive spending.

Since then, there has been talk about bring-ing Daniels into the Republican presidential race to end the campaigns of Gingrich and Romney who seem to be dividing the party rath-er than unifying it.

“The Republican response was the expect-ed one. Mitch Daniels did a good job, though,” Schmidt said. “Many Republicans want Daniels to step into the race. That could make things very interesting.”

Going forward, President Obama’s State of the Union set the tone for the president in the next year as he tries to pass legislation through the House, defend his policies and lock up an-other four years as president of the United States.

One hallmark of Newt Gingrich’s campaign for president has been his contempt for the scrutiny his cam-paign methods and personal past has received from media outlets. After Monday night’s NBC debate, the Gingrich-press antagonism seems stronger than ever.

A debate is not a time for campaign rally activity. Brian Williams, who moderated Monday’s NBC debate, right away admonished audience members against applause. Civic par-ticipation and attendance at meet-ings is a cornerstone of any republic and, if it were not for men who took the time to educate themselves in political issues and act on their opin-ions, our country would not exist.

In response to instructions from the debate’s moderators to audience members that they pipe down and allow the issues as articulated by the candidates to take center stage, Gingrich protested that muzzling the crowd hurt free speech. To date, play-ing off the crowd has been standard practice by the debating candidates. Their applause has spurred aggres-sive attacks. Standing ovations make the debates seem more like speeches than candidates jostling with one another to differentiate themselves.

There is a time and place for crowd participation. A debate is not it. We hold debates for our candidates so we can decide which candidate is best compared to his or her rivals. Campaign debates do not exist so that we can partake in politi-cal theater and slake our thirst for politi-tainment.

Debates are carefully structured, especially this season, around certain important issues. Allowing crowds to alter that structure is distracting if not downright dangerous. Direct de-mocracy imperils any representative system, and the authors of our repub-lican government dreaded the pros-pect of populism and demagoguery.

Republicans often level charges of populism and demagoguery against President Obama, but Gingrich is the worst offender. Typically Gingrich, he asserted that Williams instructed the crowd to keep quiet because of media fears that the crowd would side with the candidates instead of the media.

This is not a free speech issue. The audience of a debate do not attend so they can voice their support for one of the participants or cheer him or her on. Audience members attend so they can educate themselves about which candidate is best for the job.

Politicians need to be prepared to work with one another once they win office. Campaign season is not every year, year-round. The writers of the Constitution rejected annual elec-tions so that elements of democracy would not gain control; regular and frequent elections keep politicians accountable, but limiting the amount of popular participation leaves them free to do their job.

A friend and I recently had a conversation about what we would like to accom-

plish in our futures. I stated law school and a successful career complete with business trips and positions of power. She stated a much simpler dream of living in a small town with children and a loving husband. At first I was put off by this idea. Why would she want to give up everything she has been working for in college? Why would she want to revert back to the idea of women running the home and men working? Then I realized the answer was quite simple: because she can.

Many people have the idea that women who choose to stay home and raise kids are not living up to the opportunities women have fought for in the past. They have this idea that the feminist move-ment was only about creating equal work place environments for women, but the feminist move-ment was also about creating choices.

The idea of the movement was to allow women to have choices in everything they wanted to do with their lives. It was about women having opportunities to be engineers or consumer science teachers. It was about women being able to be passionate about whatever they chose to do with their lives.

Many ideas about the feminist movement have been miscon-strued over time.

The original idea was to cre-ate choices, but wild antics of the past have replaced the ideas of the movement with ideas of women running loose and civil disobedience.

When we start the process of uncovering the true ideas of the movement, we find that it was really meant to create opportuni-ties for young girls to grow up in a world full of possibilities available to them just like their brothers. As Gloria Steinem, an original femi-nist activist, stated the idea of the movement was “to free everyone from the prisms of gender.”

Being a stay at home mom is a choice. Being a teacher is a choice. Being a financial investment analyst is a choice.

All of these choices are avail-able to women because of this movement. Neither one is greater than the other nor is any one choice setting the movement back. Rather, the choices are helping the movement move forward. The choices women make today show they feel comfortable with their identity and have confidence in

their ability to make a choice that allows them to live out their vision of who they are.

To be a woman and admit that you want the picture perfect fam-ily and to be the cookie-making-mom is not a shameful aspiration. The women that propelled this movement would not be ashamed of someone knowing they can do anything they want, but chose to stay home and raise a family. Nor would these women be ashamed at the woman who says she does not want the family and the cook-

ies, but would rather have the career.

The foremothers of the move-ment would be filled with joy to see the legacy of their efforts being carried out in such admirable ways. As Margret Mead said “If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of hu-man potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse gift will find a fitting place.”

The feminist movement has made huge strides in allow-ing these choices to be made confidently.

It is when women feel they are stuck in specific roles that the movement is at risk of moving backwards.

As long as women feel empow-ered and know they have choices,

the movement will continue.Women should never be

ashamed of what they want, for it is when we feel ashamed that we are reversing our foremother’s work.

Women should not begin to look down on one another for wanting a family or not wanting a family, for wanting a career or not wanting a career, because each choice is as honorable as the next one.

The women who started this movement would be proud of the women of today and would be proud of the choices we are mak-ing and the way we are moving forward.

Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Jeff Bezos, Reed Hastings. I’m hoping at least a few of those names

sound familiar, but how about Jim Balsillie, Mike Lazaridis or Thorsten Heins? Yeah, same here. I had no idea who they were until recently, when it came out that Research in Motion, the company that makes BlackBerry smartphones were changing their leadership. RIM was operating with two CEO’s, Balsillie and Lazaridis, who are stepping down while the current COO, Heins, taking their place. Both are staying with the company but are go-ing to play different roles as RIM tries to breath new life into their slowly dying smartphone division.

My opening question was to raise the point that just because you have great leadership doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily create great products, not to mention sell them.

As far as tech companies go, we’ve had Bill Gates with Microsoft, which made popular the Windows operating system; Steve Jobs, with not only making Apple computers success-ful but doing so twice; Mark Zuckerberg with Facebook; Sergey Brin along with Larry Page and Eric Schmidt with launching Google; Jeff Bezos with his Amazon empire; and, in case you didn’t know, Reed Hastings, the man behind Netflix.

All of these CEOs were successful and are known around the world for their various management tactics and leadership.

But if it wasn’t for the successful products and how their companies sold them, they’d have gone completely unnoticed by the public eye.

And I think that’s the problem for RIM. BlackBerrys used to be one of the best smart-

phones you could buy before the “Jesus Phone,” aka the iPhone, came to be.

RIM has ended up in the same boat as Microsoft with Windows Mobile, losing marketshare as well as brand recognition to the consumer masses, who are purchasing smartphones at an incredible rate.

The difference being Microsoft has stepped up their game as they not only revamped the once-dull-looking Windows Mobile, but they’ve made several partnerships with vari-ous phone manufacturers, most notable being HTC and Nokia, which have cranked out some amazing phones.

RIM, however, has been slow to the punch with upgrading not only their phone hardware but their operating system too.

Last April, RIM launched the BlackBerry PlayBook, a tablet set to compete with the iPad, and although it wasn’t terrible, it was missing basic features users had become acustomed to. It had to be synced to a BlackBerry phone to get to certain apps, which was not only kind of limiting if you didn’t already have a BlackBerry, but extremely short sighted of the RIM devel-opment team as they launched a product that was essentially missing apps that were crucial to the device’s success.

RIM has been criticized for its slow response to external market forces as that’s

becoming a more crucial characteristic of all technology companies.

With it’s upcoming release of BlackBerry OS 10, perhaps some of these shortcomings can be cleared up. The issue with RIM is that they’re stuck in the past.

Yes, people love their BlackBerry phones, and I know I still have a little spot in my heart reserved for the BlackBerry Tour I used to have, but with less developers making apps for the BlackBerry App World, you have to ask, “What gives?”

Drastic changes must be made if RIM wants to remain relevant in the smartphone market.

This could be done in several ways, the first being to pull a Microsoft and to focus exclusively on enterprise customers. RIM offers a great lineup of features and services to their enterprise customers and could focus exclusively in that realm as a successful enterprise services firm. Even better would be to team up with Microsoft, and put Windows Mobile on BlackBerry phones, furthering their enterprise-only venture.

The other option would be to abandon the BlackBerry OS and put Android on their phones. It’s a valid option and has appar-ently been on the minds of RIM developers as BlackBerry PlayBook owners can run a virtual Android OS on their tablet already. Either way, they’re going to do something fas. Maybe their new CEO be able to make the drastic changes to get back into the game.

Speech

Strength of First Amendment comes from the people

Photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State DailyHigh school students and their adviser, Gary Lindsey, from John F. Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids recite the First Amendment on the steps of Beardshear Hall after completing the First Amendment Day Freedom March on Thursday, April 7, 2011.

Power of free speech comes from students and faculty, not ‘red-light’ rated policies

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education recently released its yearly report on campus speech codes. FIRE

reviewed the policy of 392 colleges and univer-sities and gave each a red-, yellow- or green-light rating for First Amendment standards. Of the 392 schools, 65 percent of them received a red-light rating, including the University of Iowa, University of Northern Iowa and Iowa State. Only 14 schools received a green light for their speech code and school policy.

As president of the ISU chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, I was asked to comment on the university’s red-light classification for a story in the Ames Tribune. This got me thinking about speech codes on our campus and how they are perceived.

FIRE looks specifically at university harassment policies, free-speech zone policies, Internet usage policies and advertised commit-ments to free expression.

Iowa State received a green light for recog-nizing the constitutional right of students in the student disciplinary regulations policy.

A yellow light was received for the code of computer ethics and acceptable use policy, which prohibits the sending of unsolicited emails without approval and harassment via electronic means. A yellow light was also given for the facilities and ground use policy for defining the area allowed for public forum and requiring a notice of intent to use the area under certain circumstances.

The red-light rating comes from the harass-ment policies at Iowa State. According to FIRE, this is the policy that is most commonly abused for regulations that are too broad. According to a post on FIRE’s website, Iowa State “policies explicitly reserve the right to punish protected speech.”

I don’t think the strength of the First Amendment on a college campus comes from policy. It’s found in the attitudes of the faculty and students who exercise those rights on campus.

According to the First Amendment Center’s 2011 State of the First Amendment survey, 30 percent of Americans cannot list any of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. Before coming to Iowa State, I did not know about those constitutional protections and how they relate to public policy. Now, as I sit in the Iowa State Daily newsroom writing this, the five freedoms hang on the wall behind me.

I learned the First Amendment in my journal-ism classes and I know that I am free to express myself at Iowa State.

Iowa State has a tradition of honoring the First Amendment, teaching it in classes, exercising it in many student publications and organizations across campus and celebrating it each year on First Amendment Day.

In the past year, I have observed students gathered on campus to celebrate the death of Osama bin Laden, to protest the observance of Columbus Day and to march in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street protesters. None of this could take place if students did not feel they had the right to express themselves on Iowa State’s

campus. We have seven student publications, a tele-

vision station and a radio station, and students from all across the university express them-selves through these mediums every day.

I believe ISU students and faculty feel they can express themselves at Iowa State despite the red-light rating given by FIRE.

That does not mean the red-light rating should be ignored. I think my friend and past president of SPJ Jessie Opoien said it best in an email to First Amendment Day committee members last week regarding the red-light rating.

“A red-light rating should energize the First Amendment Day committee, not deflate us. It makes what we do that much more important,” Opoien said. “We should use this as a tool to draw more attention to our efforts and try to get even more students, faculty and staff involved.”

This year is the 10th anniversary of First Amendment Day at Iowa State, which I think is a great platform to encourage university leaders to look at the policies that chill free speech on campus and work toward a green-light rating in all categories. I would love to see the red-light ranking and university policy changed to reflect how the First Amendment is embodied on campus, but despite that, I also encourage stu-dents to keep celebrating the First Amendment at Iowa State. Submit something to the Daily, join a new club, occupy, go to church — or not. Stop keeping your opinion to yourself and, most importantly, express yourself.

Poppens fuels Iowa State to second-straight Big 12 victoryThe Cyclones grabbed their second-straight Big 12 win on the road at Kansas State last night, 66-57.

The Cyclones (11-7. 2-5) were lead by forward Chelsea Poppens who tied her career-high in points with 23 and added nine rebounds to nearly give her the ninth double-double of her season.

Behind Poppens in scoring was senior guard Laurne Mansfield. She continued her hot streak scoring in doble-digits for the second-straight game hitting three 3-point shots on the night and total-ling 15 points.

Iowa State had a 58-51 lead with1:58 left in the game before a Nikki Moody layup, along with a combined six-straight made free throws from Moody, Poppens and Manfield, iced the game to give Iowa State the win.

The Cyclones try to extend their win streak at Texas A&M on Sunday. Tip off is set for 1 p.m.

Redshirt freshman Hannah Willms and sopho-more Hannah Johnson will not return to the Iowa State volleyball team in 2012, ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch announced on Wednesday.

Willms, a native of Waterloo, Iowa, will focus her athletics full-time on the ISU women’s track and field team while Johnson, an Ankeny, Iowa na-tive, will take a medical hardship during the final

two years of her eligibility for the Cyclones.Willms said that she made the decision to leave

the team over winter break and discussed it heav-ily with her family and came back to Ames to have a meeting with the coaches to let them know of her decision.

She also said that while the decision was a dif-ficult one to make, it was the right choice for her.

“I don’t think that I lost my love for the game [of volleyball], but my love for track grew more,” Willms said. “I think [track] is more of my passion

and it wasn’t going to work to do both; there just weren’t enough hours in the week to do both so I just made the choice.”

Over winter break, Willms and Johnson-Lynch discussed what practice times might be for spring volleyball. Willms said Johnson-Lynch told her the schedule with volleyball and outdoor track would be a lot to handle.

File photo: Tim Reuter/Iowa State DailyRedshirt freshman Luke Goettl wins against Virginia Tech’s Zach Neibert on Jan. 13. Goettl has added to his wins in recent weeks, improving along with fellow teammate Michael Moreno.

Wrestling

Newly found successIt took defeat and disappointment, but the

losses have finally yielded success for two redshirt freshmen.

Michael Moreno and Luke Goettl are just two of nine freshmen that have taken the mat in ISU sin-glets this season, and both have walked off the mat with disappointment — Moreno started his season 0-6 in dual action, Goettl began 0-4.

As the team’s starter at 157 pounds for the opening meets in Boston, Moreno quickly ran into trouble with injuries in his first two matches. Those injures put an early halt to his Cyclone career.

“Having to battle through two separate injuries in the first dual of the year was a mental damager to me,” Moreno said. “It was hard to come back and it’s a tough schedule. Mentally I just don’t think I was attached to what I needed to be attached to.”

For Goettl, injury opened the door for his en-

trance into the lineup. While wrestling Boston, Max Mayfield suffered a concussion. After R.J. Hallman had one opportunity at 141 pounds, Goettl stepped in.

It was not a happy beginning for Goettl though, as he was pinned in his first match and dropped his next three against highly ranked opponents, includ-ing No. 1 Kendric Maple of Oklahoma.

Last Friday when the team traveled to Norman, Okla., to face the Sooners, both Moreno and Goettl continued their newfound success as Moreno de-feated No. 14 Matt Lester and Goettl topped No. 1 Maple.

The success for Moreno and Goettl has come following their first dual victories. Since Moreno won at Arizona State, he has gone 3-2 on the mat while Goettl has a 9-4 record since his loss against Minnesota.

ISU coach Kevin Jackson said those victories have helped the young wrestlers turn the corner this season.

“I think anytime you can get a win when you’re the starter at a Division I university it helps your confidence,” Jackson said. “Confidence is a key part of our sport and getting a win is very important so you can recognize that you are capable.”

With so many freshmen on the team, Moreno does not feel unique in his early season struggles and he thinks he is finally headed in the right direction.

“Some freshmen are able to get right into it, they’re able to jump that mental hurdle right away,” Moreno said. “I think my problems aren’t unique to just me, I think it’s definitely a freshman thing. Some people are just better at [handling it] than others.”

As his first regular season nears its end, Goettl is figuring it out too.

“Sometimes it just clicks one day, and you de-cide you have to do everything right instead of just some things,” Goettl said. “If you do everything right, you’re going to win.”

Track and field

Teams ready for invitational

After hosting the ISU Open with more than 30 teams competing, the ISU men’s track and field team will return to Lied Recreation Athletic Center on Thursday, Friday and Saturday to host the Bill Bergan Invitational.

The Cyclones will have fewer teams to race against but will, per-haps, face better competition.

“It’s a great opportunity when you have teams like Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Dakota State [come to the invita-tional],” said coach Corey Ihmels. “They are all solid teams, and I think every event is going to have some pretty good talent, so it is an oppor-tunity for us to get on the track and run against some of the best.”

Redshirt freshman distance run-ner Brandon Barnes, who competed in three events at the ISU Open, said that while last weekend was a suc-cess, he wants to build on that and

put himself in a good position to do well in the Big 12.

“We have been doing longer strength workouts, nothing too drastic,” Barnes said. “We are just going to kind of keep that going and build onto that a little bit later down the road toward Big 12 season.”

Freshman jumper Teddy Lampkin, who will be competing in the long jump, said he is excited about competing in his first colle-giate meet at the Bill Bergan.

“I will be able to prove to myself that I can jump with college ath-letes. It’s my first time doing that, so I’m excited about it,” Lampkin said. “I just want to compete as hard as I can, jump as far as I can and run as fast as I can and hopefully help this team win a conference championship.”

Ihmels said workouts have been going well during the week and that the kids may be tired, bu it will pay off by the Big 12 Championships.

“If we can put ourselves in some situations this weekend that mimic the Big 12 and score some points and try to beat the guy ahead of you, I think we will accomplish what we need to accomplish,” Ihmels said.

For the second time in two weeks, ISU men’s and women’s track and field will compete together at home. Coming off the official season opener, athletes and coaches are prepared for the meet.

“This is the second week of our cycle so I think everyone is going to come off of [the meet] a little more energetic,” said redshirt sophomore Hayli Bozarth.

The women’s team managed to stay healthy coming out of the Iowa State Open this past weekend. The coaches did not report any injuries.

The women are preparing for a few things before their meet this weekend to see their progress.

“Keep building,” said redshirt sophomore Tressa Borchardt on the team’s goals. “I would like to be con-sistently building, not just here and there. I just want to keep building off of last week’s performance and build-ing in practice.”

Bozarth agreed with Borchardt on how consistent performances will help create progress.

“Everyone’s goal each meet is to set a new [personal record],” Bozarth said, “but if you can’t do that, then I’d say consistency is the next best key.”

After last weekend’s performanc-es from the athletes, coaches will get an early glance at what some athletes will be able to do down the road.

“We’ve got some kids that should be able to run close to the national qualifying times,” said coach Corey Ihmels. “Other individuals might be a little further away, but we really try to be ready to roll at the Iowa State Classic.”

The ISU track and field teams will host the Bill Bergan Invitational starting Thursday and ending Saturday evening.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — With students, alumni and fans lining the streets, Joe Paterno’s funeral procession drove slowly Wednesday past Beaver Stadium and through the town where the longtime Penn State football coach lived and worked for more than 60 years.

Thousands of mourners waited on the sidewalks, four deep and more in some places, for a glimpse of the electric-blue hearse carrying Paterno’s casket.

The convoy also included buses filled with Paterno’s family, former players and other guests.

As a silent crowd looked on, the procession passed a library that bears Paterno’s name on its way to Pine Hall cemetery, the final resting place of the man who led the Nittany Lions to five unde-feated seasons.

Experience and leadership are two traits of-ten seen as coinciding and interacting with each another, especially in athletics.

It is through unfamiliar ventures that mis-takes are made, lessons are learned and leader-ship is bred.

ISU swimmer Dani Harris is certainly no ex-ception to this formula.

Harris, a junior at Iowa State (3-2), has stood out in each of her first three seasons as a Cyclone, earning more than 35 wins and 60 top-three finishes during that span.

Her strong performance has earned her sev-eral awards, including Most Valuable Swimmer (2010-11) and Iowa State Newcomer of the Year (2009-10).

“She’s just a fierce competitor,” said head coach Duane Sorenson. “When she puts her mind to something, there’s no stopping her. She’s a very good leader by example.”

Harris has seen continued success this sea-son, currently holding team-highs in 100-meter backstroke, 200-meter backstroke and 200-me-ter individual medley.

“She’s always been a racer,” said assistant coach Kelly Nordell. “She’s like a bull in a china shop. She just will not be stopped.”

Harris’s time at Iowa State has also allowed her to grow in experience as both an athlete and a person.

“I’ve definitely learned to be really tough,” Harris said. “I’ve faced a lot of adversity being here, but there’s definitely always a silver lining. I’ve always come out of it stronger, and I have my coaches and teammates to thank for that.”

Harris’ teammate and roommate, junior Tiana Wollin, has had the opportunity to wit-ness this growth first-hand.

“We’ve gotten a lot closer over the past two years,” Wollin said of her teammate. “It’s always helpful to have a roommate who’s on the team because you can talk to each other, you know what everyone’s going through, and there’s al-ways someone there.”

Harris was a four-year letterwinner at Valley High School in addition to being an integral part of a four-time state championship team.

“We knew we had a pretty special person coming in,” Sorenson said.

Harris’ high school accolades also include seven individual state championships, four-time All-America honors, and a slew of state and national records.

“High school was definitely a lot of fun,” Harris said. “I definitely grew as an athlete then and learned that I really wanted to do this.”

Nordell said she has been coaching Harris from a young age and has very much enjoyed watching her development.

“It’s been nice to watch her grow and cer-tainly become one of the best in the Big 12 in her events,” Nordell said.

“She’s a great coach,” Harris said. “She’s al-ways gotten me to where I need to be. I have a lot to thank her for.”

Harris is a student in Iowa State’s Greenlee School of Journalism and Mass Communication and was a member of the Academic All-Big 12 first team in 2010-11.

She said she loves design and writing and is focusing on “visual communications and photojournalism.”

Sorenson said the work in the classroom has definitely translated to the pool.

“She’s a very intelligent young woman who works hard in the classroom just like she does in the swimming pool,” Sorenson said. “She’s a very driven person and wants to excel in every-thing that she does.”

Harris and the Cyclones hit the road and return to the pool this weekend at Nebraska-Omaha on Friday in Omaha and Nebraska on Saturday in Lincoln.

Junior leads by example, offers experience in the pool

right now so [Johnson-Lynch] expected me to be there for every practice which would interfere with outdoor track,” Willms said. “That made me think a lot about the decision. I’m definitely going to miss everybody [in the volleyball program] but [track] will be a better fit.”

Johnson-Lynch said that she was not necessarily sur-prised with Willms decision to leave the team because she knew that there was a possibil-ity for the beginning of Willms’ career that it could happen due to the time commitments for each sport.

Johnson-Lynch, agreeing with Willms, said that there are no hard feelings between the two.

“I love Hannah, and I will go to track meets and support her,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I loved to coach her because she is very giving and selfless. We are going to miss her ... and I

wish we could work something out, but I don’t blame her at all. She has huge potential in track with maybe the Olympics in her future. I just love her and am sad to see her go.”

Willms was a redshirt freshman in volleyball plan-ning on being at Iowa State for five years, and that has not changed.

Willms redshirted outdoor track in the 2011 season and will redshirt the 2012 indoor season giving her three and a half years of eligibility left for the Cyclones.

Willms said that she has started training for the hep-tathlon because of the time she is now able to devote to track and field.

She also said that she hopes to compete at the high jump at the Iowa State Classic and that the coaches are very pleased with how much time she is able to spend doing track workouts.

“They were really excited,” Willms said. “I can’t really

get to my full potential ... un-less I’m completely devoted to one or the other. So I just don’t think that I would have reached the peak I could have at either sport, so now, just choosing track, I can see what I can accomplish and they’re pretty excited.”

The Cyclone volleyball team will also have to do without the play of Hannah Johnson, who was forced to quit for health reasons due to her struggles with an auto-immune disease that doctors diagnosed her with over win-ter break.

Johnson said she has been dealing with this issue for the last couple of years and has been really affected by it in just the last year.

“I didn’t make the decision to leave as much as my health made it for me,” Johnson said. “My doctors said that there is a great risk of obtaining a more life threatening disease if I continued to do all of the things that are required from

Division I athletes.”Johnson-Lynch said she

knew the decision was not an easy one but that it was the necessary one with the given circumstances.

“It was a really hard deci-sion for her,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It’s hard for an athlete to realize the possibility of not going to practice everyday, and it’s hard for her to imagine life without the sport. She talked to a lot of people; doctors and family and everyone around her felt the same.”

Johnson described the whole process as kind of a whirlwind.

“It was really hard, and I didn’t see it coming,” an emo-tional Johnson said. “When you find out that you have a life-long disorder, you want to get to a point where you can get it under control. It’s just hard to go with and not being able to play everyday is really hard.”

Johnson said everything has happened kind of fast for the team hearing about her departure as well as Willms, but they have been supportive every step of the way.

“The team has been very supportive of Hannah and my decisions,” Johnson said. “And they realized that I had to make this decision for my health and Hannah had to do what was right for her.”

This spring semester has many new and ongoing art activities to offer from University Museums.

To kick off the new semester, the Brunnier Art Museum opened the “Relationships: Spheres of Influence” exhibit, a semes-ter-long production fea-turing art from Iowa State faculty.

The “Relationships” exhibit has been divided into several parts, and the “Spheres of Influence” is the current portion on display. The exhibit includes the work of four studio arts fac-ulty members, who are also collaborating with different professors and colleagues across campus.

There are six to 12 pieces of artwork that will be mixed together in the exhibit to present a certain idea. One portion of the “Relationships” exhibit, titled “Inquiry: Perception, History and Making,” is being presented by Brent Holland, associate profes-sor of art and design, along with Eric Cooper, associate professor of psychology.

The basic theme that will be presented is about how people perceive things with visual cognition through the arts and sciences and how visual art can cross many boundaries, physically and mentally.

Ingrid Lilligren, profes-

sor of art and design, has described the experience as being great because it high-lights not only what the fac-ulty artists do but also the work of the colleagues that they get to collaborate with.

“It gives not only our stu-dents a chance to see what they like to do in a ‘non-dig-ital’ format, but it also gives the opportunity for other students on campus and is great because all students get interaction,” Lilligren said.

Lilligren also said that people get a lot out of what is shown at the exhibit “no matter how small or big it is”.

The “Relationships” exhibit will feature more faculty art throughout the semester. Other portions include:

Local band Ladysoal is back on the scene in the New Year with big plans.

In the next month alone, front woman Sharika Soal is organizing a benefit concert for Charlie Poulson’s chest reconstruction surgery, starting her own comedy/horror miniseries and playing alongside 49 other bands during a 15-hour nonstop music marathon.

Poulson, junior in graphic design, has been working to raise money for a gender reconstruction chest sur-gery since last fall. Poulson has been selling bracelets made from his old, ill-fitting clothing in the Sloss House in an effort to help raise the $5,900 the surgery will cost.

“I didn’t think anyone would want to work that hard just to help me,” Poulson said. “But I couldn’t raise the money for the surgery by selling bracelets alone.”

Though he has made more than a thousand dollars selling bracelets, he has less than half of what he needs to pay for the expensive surgery.

He was stunned by how quickly Soal responded to his plans for a ben-efit. Only 10 minutes after sending her a message on Facebook, the two were working together to organize the event.

“The LGBT community is very dear to my heart,” Soal said. “Not only is the benefit a good way to raise mon-ey, but also to bring the community together and show awareness.”

This 21+ event will feature a drag show with surprise performers, as well as the living canvas of girls from Body by Svec, and live music from Ladysoal, Hath No Fury and Morning Sex & the Good Weed. Poulson’s hand-crafted bracelets will also be available for purchase.

The benefit is not the only object of Soal’s attention, however. Filming for her next project starts Sunday. The new miniseries focuses around Soal’s character, who is a shut-in ob-sessed with Facebook. She plans to release the episodes to her YouTube channel.

The band took a short break in December after releasing its third music video, and Soal intends to stay away from the medium for a while.

Instead, Ladysoal is booked for many live performances in the com-ing months. The next time to see them live is late in the evening during The Space for Ames’ fourth-anniversary show, for which 50 bands will keep two stages filled from noon until 3 a.m. the following morning.

Soal said she has already written five songs for her next album, and that

her style has matured from “bluesy” to a more “hardcore rock”. Expect the new album late this year, or early 2013.

Apart from solo work, Soal will also be collaborating with various artists like Longshadowmen and Peace, Love, and Stuff. She has also “joined forces” with Mumford’s front man Nate Logsdon in an effort to cross-promote.

“We’re working with everyone this year,” Soal said. “I’m going to hone my skills into an actual business.”

Another exhibit that is currently showing is the “Working Over Wood: Recomposing the Grant Wood Murals,” and Thursday, guest artist Jennifer Drinkwater will be holding an interactive presentation where she has recreated Grant Wood’s work on panels with magnets, where people can rearrange the magnets to create their own meaning and interpretation of the art works.

When Woods’ paintings were commissioned in 1935, funding was cut. Six pieces left were intended to feature the Iowa State fine art programs. After learning about the unfinished work online, Drinkwater decided to create steel panels and painted magnets that will be the unfinished murals.

“I would love for as many people as possible to come and not only see what’s been done, but also participate and paint on the magnets,” Drinkwater said. “It’s a way for people to create their own [art] verses being like ‘Hey, I’m an artist, here’s my work.’ It’s a chance for people to play with the art.’”

Drinkwater described the ex-perience for herself as a way of “putting the fine arts back into Iowa State.” Drinkwater will be in the gallery from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Friday, where students can talk with her about the murals.

Sean Roper, senior in art and design with a minor in psychology, teaches a basic draw-ing class in the Workspace, a studio space lo-cated in the basement of the Memorial Union. Roper hopes to later utilize his talents in a ca-reer in art therapy.

Q: What does drawing do for you and what does it give you?A: I kind of think of drawing as intellectual discovery, kind of working through a prob-lem and either doing some research to figure out how to fix that problem or just working through a situation.

Q: What do you teach in the Workspace?A: I basically teach the very, very fundamen-tals. I first teach them how to make texture

on a surface, and then I teach them how to make shapes. Then I teach them how to put those shapes into space. And after learning perspective, they can basically do whatever they want.

Q: Why do you think it is important for students to have a space like the Workspace?

A: I think it’s really good for students who are just trying to learn something new but they don’t want to go through the hassle of spending a lot of money on a larger course. [It] kind of puts your foot in the door, I guess.

Q: What have you learned from teaching in the Workspace?

A: I’ve learned more about how important it is to talk to people and ask them what they think and what they are doing. I used to be really shy in front of people, and I guess learning more communication skills in front of people.

From the land of sandy beaches and sunny days comes Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds, an alternative/ reggae band hail-ing from Hermosa Beach, Calif., who will perform at the Maintenance Shop Thursday at 8 p.m..

Formed in 2004 by lead singer Moises Juarez, gui-tarist Sean Chapman and guitarist Matthew McEwen, Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds plans on releasing a new album in the near future and the band has assured fans the “details of the release are coming soon.”

The band exhibited a very positive attitude towards being raised in the state of California.

“We wouldn’t have it any other way,” Juarez said. “We are blessed enough to get to travel around the country [and] world doing what we love and see so many amaz-ing places and people. There is nothing like coming home to the beach in southern California though.”

Being around the music scene of southern California

also has led to a diverse musi-cal influence.

“We are all influenced by way too many to list,” said Chapman. “Our music is all over the place from reggae, punk, hip hop, blues, R&B, electronic, etc.”

This is the first time Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds will be playing the M-Shop, and they said they are very excited to perform for a college crowd.

“It’s always fun for us to play in front of new fans or people that have not heard of us yet,” Chapman said.

“We booked Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds because they have a really unique blend of sound,” said Connor Nolan of the

Student Union Board. “We had a big crowd including quite a few people who had never been to the M-Shop before when we had Passafire this

past fall, so we were happy to bring Tomorrow’s Bad Seeds and hopefully get some of that crowd from Passafire back into the M-Shop again.”

BLACK AMERICAN GOTHIC

Planting Urban Roots in IowaDocumentary & Discussion

Thursday, January 26, 20127PM - Great Hall Memorial Union

Independent filmmaker Carla Wilson tells the story through the experience of Iowa City residents, both old and new, black

and white. She looks specifically at how changing demographics in the community have affected low-income housing, public schools, and law

enforcement. A discussion will immediately follow the 50-minute film.

Cello and piano often-times go hand-in-hand in music. The cello, a string instrument played with a bow made of wood and horse hair, is usually best for pro-ducing melodies. The piano provides accompaniment to compliment the melody and provide balance. On Saturday, this musical pair will play together once again in the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall for the George Work Concert.

“When string players talk to their students, they’re al-ways telling the string play-ers to sound like singers. And when voice teachers talk to their students, they’re always telling their singers to sound like string players,” said Jodi Goble, vocal lecturer and pia-nist for the concert.

George Work, professor of music and cellist for the concert, has collaborated this concert with Goble for three years. He has chosen music with a mix of new and old styles.

The two players began re-hearsing together in October, said Goble.

The concert will feature pieces by Debussy, De Falla,

Dutilleux and Dohnanyi.Although the anecdotal

theme for the concerts has been to play music from composers whose last names begin with a certain letter, such as last year’s “C” com-posers and this year’s “D” composers, the musical con-tent is more important than sticking to the theme, said Work.

“I can guarantee we won’t have an ‘E’ concert next year,” said Work. “There just aren’t enough composers whose names begin with the letter E.”

The Dohnanyi work will take up the second half of the concert. Work said the piece is “very sonorous, rich, spontaneous.” It is the type of piece people attend cello concerts to listen to, he said.
