The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences currently has 3,298 students enrolled and hopes to showcase its col-lege and attract more students.

The college has received $7,400 in donations this year from outside sources and has already spent most of this money on various projects. They asked for mon-ey to help fund their Ag week. The main issue is getting money for the outdoor tents in case of any unpleasant weather.

The tents will cost $1,012.15 per day and the College of Agriculture is hoping to receive three days worth of money to fund the tents.

Finance director Anthony Maly, senior in political sci-ence, discussed the funding for Ag week and has stressed

ISU journalism pro-fessor emeritus John D. “Jack” Shelley, known as the “Voice of Iowa,” died Wednesday.

Shelley was a staple in Iowa homes, famous for his work in radio and tele-vision broadcasting with WHO from the 1930s to the 1960s, where he an-chored the 6 and 10 p.m. newscasts.

In his time in broadcast, Shelley famously served as a World War II combat reporter. Covering events such as the Battle of the Bulge and first interview-ing the crews that dropped

the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, all while relating his cover-age back to Iowans.

Along with his work in Iowa media, Shelley was also an iconic figure of Iowa State’s journalism depart-ment, where he worked from 1965 to 1982, hav-ing obtained the status of professor emeritus. While teaching, Shelley taught some prominent journal-ists in the field, includ-ing Kevin Cooney, KCCI; Jerry Bowen, CBS Evening News; and Terry Anderson, the Associated Press.

Umair Ilyas spent his 21st birthday in the air.

The first day in September was important to Ilyas — not because it was his birthday, but because he was leaving behind his family, friends and the rest of the people of Pakistan.

The rain started at the end of July. There was normal rainfall, and it wasn’t out of the ordinary for light flooding to occur. No warnings were issued and all the predictions from the meteorologists were wrong; no one saw it coming until it was too late.

“It was a complete surprise to all of us,” said Ilyas, senior in electrical engineering. “My sister was the first one to tell me about it. Water was ev-erywhere, cars were getting stuck. We live on an incline in Islamabad, and that’s when I realized that things were get-ting worse.

“I called my friend who lived in Charsadda, which is fairly close to where I live, and he told me that the water in his house was rising 1 foot every five minutes until his entire house was flooded. He was lucky enough to be rescued by boat because he got on his

The new Biorenewables Research Laboratory claims to have the best view on campus.

Located between the College of Design and Howe Hall, this four-story “green” building houses the Bioeconomy Institute, directed by Robert Brown, distinguished professor of mechanical engineering.

“Biorenewables is the conversion of plant materials, crops, even microalgae

into fuel and building materials,” Brown said.

Around 160 faculty are affiliated with the biorenewables program, rep-resenting virtually every college on campus.

“The main intent is that this is an interdisciplinary building,” said Brent Shanks, professor of chemical and bio-logical engineering.

Flu clinics at UDCC available this monthBy Abigail.Barefoot iowastatedaily.com

Thielen Student Health Center began hold-ing flu clinics Wednesday and will continue through the month.

The events will be held at Union Drive Community Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each Wednesday and Thursday in September.

Flu shots are being offered earlier than in previous years because the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended ev-eryone more than the age of 6 months get the flu vaccination as soon as it becomes available this fall, according to a news release from Iowa State’s News Service.

Students interested should bring their ISU ID when they stop by.

The injectable vaccination will be $20 and the flu mist will be $25 with either charge going directly to students’ U-bills.

The injectable flu shot is a needle injection in the arm containing dead flu viruses.

The flu mist is a spray flu vaccine sprayed through the nose, containing live viruses, said Laura Knowles, Thielen Student Health Center program coordinator.

Thielen Student Heath Center advises stu-dents to go to www.CDC.gov. The site provides additional information on the flu, vaccines, ef-fectiveness of the shot and symptoms.

Lied Rec Center facility re-opens most servicesBy Torey.Robinson iowastatedaily.com

Lied Recreation Athletic Center will open at 6 a.m. Thursday, said Mike Giles, director of recreation services.

The final test came back negative for E. Coli, and the majority of services will be available for students and pa-trons Thursday.

“We will not be able to open the racquetball courts or the turf on the first floor inside the track,” Giles said.

Everything else in the building will be open, Giles said. This includes second and third floor rooms and equip-ment, locker rooms, basketball courts, fitness classes and bathroom facilities.

Giles was unsure whether the building will have hot water. Lied has not had steam since the flooding and will not know until Thursday if hot water will be available.

“We’re excited to get things moving and for students to be able to use the facilities again,” Giles said.

Celeb newsNotes and events

Kanye West:In one year, Kanye West has played the role of both the villain and the comeback kid, but now the music superstar is ready to assume another one: filmmaker.Aside from his rousing dedica-tion performance to Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs, West also released a short preview for his forthcoming film, “Runaway,” during Sunday night’s pre-show. West said the flick will accom-pany his new album.

Taylor Momsen:Waste Tim Gunn’s time, and his response will not be pretty. Gunn, the typically measured host of the show “Project Runway,” didn’t mince words about his experience with Momsen, 17, “What a diva!” Gunn said of the singer/actress, who plays Jenny Humphrey on the series. “She was pathetic, she couldn’t remember her lines, and she didn’t even have that many. I thought to myself ‘why are we all being held hos-tage by this brat?”

Steve Jobs:Steve Jobs is apparently not arming himself for ninja warfare.Apple has found itself in the bi-zarre position of having to deny that this week after a tabloid reported its CEO was stopped at a Japanese airport with ninja throwing stars. The Web, pre-sented the chance to ponder the beloved-or-reviled Jobs along with the iconic weapon of kung-fu movie lore, responded with glee. Apple was quick to dismiss the tabloid tale.

iPhone:Smartphone fanatics have been waiting for months for a Google Voice app to come to the Apple iPhone. Now there’s a new sign that this may happen soon. A developer behind one such controversial smartphone app said he has resubmitted his app to Apple and expects it to be ap-proved in a matter of days.“It’s currently undergoing review, which should last seven to 13 days before hitting the U.S. App Store,” Sean Kovacs wrote on his blog Monday.

Clarification

Monday, the front page of the Daily incorrectly listed the date as Oct. 14. It was, of course, Sept. 14. We didn’t mean to scare anyone — it’s not that close to midterms yet!

ClarificationIn yesterday’s story, “Gay rights support addressed as Iowa midterm elections loom,” Carolyn Jenison said of the voters who vote, only 61 percent actually flip the ballot over to vote on whether to retain jus-tices. Of those 61 percent who do flip the ballot over, 25 percent vote arbitrarily not to retain justices. Neither of these stats reflect how the voter feels about gay marriage.

Religion|Eidul-Fitr

Malaysian Muslim community gathers for 3-day celebration

The month of Ramadan ended Thursday, and it marks the beginning for Eid ul-Fitr, which goes on for three days.

Two days later, the Malaysian Muslim com-munity gathered at the SUV Community Center to celebrate Eid ul-Fitr.

People from Iowa City, Des Moines, Polk City and other different parts came to Ames for the celebration.

Nurhidayah Azmy dressed her daughter, Nur Fatimah Ahmad, in new clothes and new shoes Saturday morning.

The Malaysian Muslims wore the tradition-al Malay outfits for the celebration.

The traditional Malay outfits are usually col-orful and have a lot of details in it.

They are also usually worn during religious

occasions.Usually before meals, events or celebrations

begin, it is a traditional thing for them to pray. Known as “doa” in Malay, they ask for blessings from God.

All sorts of traditional Malay food like renda-ng ayam — a spiced dish using blue ginger, gin-ger, garlic, cili and lemon grass — were served.

A lot of Malaysians enjoyed the taste of au-thentic Malaysian food.

It was also a time for people to catch up with each other. When they see each other, they greet each other with a hug or a light handshake.

Traditionally, men and women do not shake hands with each other.

A Malay man greets another man with a light handshake using their right hand that’s more like a light clasp.

They will then bring their hands toward the heart, meaning “I greet you from my heart.”

roof.”The United Nations esti-

mated that more than 20 mil-lion people have been affected and 2,000 Pakistanis have been killed by floods that rav-aged Pakistan in August.

Almost one-fifth of the country is under water and continues to wreak havoc, es-pecially on the northern part of Pakistan, as well as the rest of the nation, with the growing threat of water-borne diseases and the lack of food, clean wa-ter, medication and proper shelter.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Pakistan said that 160,000 km — an area larger than England — has been damaged; 1.8 mil-lion homes and at least 10 mil-lion Pakistanis are without shelter because of the flooding.

“I will never forget the de-struction and suffering that I have witnessed,” said Ban Ki-Moon, UN Secretary General. “I have visited the scenes of many natural disasters around

the world, but nothing like this. The scale is so large: so many people, in so many places, in so much need ... these unprece-dented floods demand unprec-edented assistance.”

The flood hasn’t been the only disaster Ilyas has experi-enced while living in Pakistan. Pakistan suffered a magnitude 7.6 earthquake in October 2006 that polarized the coun-try and its people. Ten hours after the earthquake occurred at the epicenter in northern Pakistan, Ilyas went to the site where a 10-story building col-lapsed in his city. After seeing the chaos that ensued from the earthquake in 2005 compared to the flooding of 2010, Ilyas said with confidence that the current conditions are much worse than in 2005.

He feels very lucky that his family and home weren’t extremely affected by the flooding; Ilyas’ family owns 64 acres of now-flooded agricul-tural land of bananas, peanuts and fish and dairy farms in Sanghar, Sindh, a province of Pakistan, that is 13 hours away from Islamabad.

Ilyas, his parents and two older sisters are just happy that they are safe and said they know others have lost much more.

“My father has visited the bad areas,” Ilyas said. “He said there is no safe drinking water and that people are drinking dirty water in order to survive. The infrastructure is down. Women are having miscar-riages and premature births. I cannot stop thinking ... how are these people going to sleep, how are they going to eat, how are they going to get their medicine?”

Ilyas and six other Pakistani ISU students make up the Pakistan Student Association. The PSA is do-ing everything in its power to help support the effort in rais-ing awareness of the flood and how people and students can help the victims from miles away.

With a goal of $28,000 — $1 donated for every ISU stu-dent — the PSA has started a fundraiser for the people of Pakistan by setting up a booth selling Papa John’s pizza and select beverages in front of

Parks Library on campus. Although many people pass by the booth in the afternoon and either ignore or donate to the effort, Ilyas said that even $1 can buy three meals for a fam-ily in Pakistan.

Converted to 85 rupees — now 86 because of rising costs on meat and other products — the American dollar is more valuable to those in Pakistan than in America, and Ilyas as-sures that those who visit the booth have the power to save multiple lives.

With the small number of people, the PSA hopes it can garner support from other in-ternational groups and the rest of the student body.

“The more help the better,” Ilyas said. “People have been donating their items, time and money to organizations such as the Red Cross and UNICEF. We want to show people that we, ourselves, are taking the initiative and that we are doing this, and they should join in.”

After arriving 10 days late into this semester on his birth-day because of the flooding, Ilyas immediately began plan-ning the pizza fundraiser for the PSA that would help the victims of the flood when he left the Pakistani ground. With help from the others in the PSA, Ilyas contacted James Dorsett, director of interna-tional students and scholars at the Memorial Union.

Once news of the flooding hit Ames, Dorsett immediately contacted all of the Pakistani students and spoke with them about their safety, attempted to console them and tried to tell them how they could help the people of Pakistan recover.

“In the past, during times of natural disasters, we have tried to help out the internation-als students by working with the accounts receivable office and treasurer’s office and offer other support services to help with their financial burdens,” Dorsett said. “If they had oth-er issues where this impacts their studies then they could reduce their course load and

work with their departments, and we ultimately help them from a financial, academic or mental health standpoint. These are all things we do to help out students.”

Ilyas later spoke with PSA about what the next course of action should be. Dorsett sent out a mass e-mail to more than 3,000 international students, and Ilyas still hopes that num-ber will grow rapidly and even-tually reach all students.

Dorsett received several replies back to his e-mail, ask-ing how they could help with the flood relief efforts and responded by linking sites for Oxfam, UNICEF, the Red Cross and other organiza-tions aiding in the flood relief. Dorsett said he was apprecia-tive of the international stu-dent community helping out other international students.

In addition to the PSA’s efforts, the International Student Council on campus is working in coordination with the PSA to host programs during International Week in November that will support the flood relief effort.

“Several avenues of the campus are responding which is a very good thing in times of trouble that we are reaching out and are able to help one an-other,” Dorsett said.

Although the PSA has only hosted two pizza sales, Ilyas said they are trying to raise their profits and espe-cially the awareness about the catastrophic conditions back home.

Using the PSA’s funds to buy the first event’s pizza for $111, the organization made a profit of $268 which went di-rectly to the Red Cross.

Ilyas and the PSA hope more people can become aware of their organization, but he still feels as though the attention to this disaster is a little less than it should be.

“Yesterday, I went to the Red Cross, and the guy was comparing the flood to the Haitian disaster,” Ilyas said. “We all got the impression that the response to the flood was weaker than that in Haiti. One of the reasons I’ve thought of is that Pakistan, being a Muslim country, people perhaps are more reluctant to give their money because they think they are aiding a terrorist

organization.“There are issues with

transparency. We want every-one to contact the organiza-tions directly if they feel more secure doing so, so that they know that their money is going to the right place. It’s unfortu-nate, but the image of Muslims is not portrayed in a very good way in America.”

As soon as Ilyas landed in Des Moines, he was picked up by other Pakistani students from Iowa State.

The drive up to Ames was filled with conversation about what was happening in Pakistan and how the PSA could help the flood victims.

“We just received good news this morning,” said Alex Gomez, customer service rep-resentative for UNICEF in a phone interview Wednesday, Sept. 15. “The water levels are receding a little. This is good news because we know that fevers are not going to spread as much as well as other diseases.”

Gomez also spoke of UNICEF’s efforts to assemble temporary recreational cen-ters for victims of the flooding. Approximately 200 centers are housing more than 20,000 children, and each center is getting a “School-in-a-Box” kit that contains pencils and other supplies as well as build-ing blocks for the younger chil-dren to play with.

“The building blocks were included because they’re still children,” Gomez said. “They need to learn, but they still need to live.”

Selling pizza for the second time in front of Parks Library on Wednesday, Raja Imtiaz, graduate student in electrical and computer engineering and member of PSA, stood next to a board with pictures of the flood victims as he struggled to find the right words to express his feelings for what he and his organization were trying to accomplish.

“This picture of this wom-an with her bowl waiting for food ... this very well could have been me, you know?” Imtiaz said. “I feel like I owe some-thing to these people. They’re my countrymen, and being here provides a good oppor-tunity for me. All of this is for the sake of humanity ... it could happen to any of us.”

Dallas police charge 3 officers in alleged beatingJeff CarltonThe Associated Press

DALLAS — Three Dallas police officers, including one who was fired, will face criminal charges for their alleged roles in the beating of a suspect, which was caught on video by dashboard cameras, the police chief said Wednesday.

Andrew Collins, 28, suffered bruising and blood clots earlier this month after being struck by officers, who hit him about seven times with their fists and batons. The alleged beating lasted about 14 seconds following a chase.

The video, which the department distributed to reporters, shows one of the officers moving the dashboard camera so that it does not film the incident.

“This won’t be tolerated,” police Chief David Brown said. “This is not indicative of the Dallas Police Department. No one incident defines our character.”

Of the 22 officers who responded to the scene, one was black, Brown said. At least two were Hispanic, and the rest were white. Brown said there is no indication that race was a factor and no racial slurs were heard on the radio transmissions or recordings.

Officers Kevin Randolph and Paul Bauer will face misde-meanor charges of assault and official oppression, Brown said. The two men, along with Officer Henry Duetsch, also each face a felony charge of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.

Randolph, who was still on probation after being hired in March 2009, was fired Wednesday, Brown said. The other two of-ficers face internal affairs investigations.

I.Wouldn’t it be wonderful

if we could involve as many as watch the Fourth of July pa-rade or attend an ISU athletic event in an effort to make Ames one community — a communi-ty where all would have fair and adequate employment, safe affordable housing and be able to provide their own food and other necessities? Let’s make Ames No. 1 on the 100 Best Places to Live in America for all in our community. You may think I am a dreamer. Maybe I am. But there are already big steps in that direction.

Many youth in our com-munity are setting examples as they work in community gardens; interact across race, ethnicities and backgrounds in music; debate; sports and volunteer groups; swing ham-mers for Habitat for Humanity; raise money to go to Uganda to

build a girls’ school; volunteer at care centers food pantries, the hospital and the library; participate in faith-based work groups in other locations; work at Food at First; and make deci-sions for Story County Youth Philanthropists. All these further peace and justice.

Youth gravitate to risks and challenges. Video games, extreme sports and military service present risks and challenges. Stepping out in support of clean energy initia-tives, working on behalf of those who are treated unjustly, educating for peace whether here in Ames or Uganda or Washington, D.C., is also a risky endeavor. Working and speaking for peace with justice

doesn’t require legislation, out-rageous sums of money or free hand-outs, but rather personal involvement.

Let’s challenge our youth to bring along one or two adults, maybe some Gen Xers, Baby Boomers, internation-als, members of “The Greatest Generation.” Youth, challenge us to “see each other” as one community where perceived barriers of race, class, back-ground, age fall away. Show us the way. That would be a giant step toward building peace with justice.

II.A key element in this

process is awareness. When crises arise, we must sit down

and build an understanding to-gether through sharing points of view. Only after sharing and listening can we accurately assess the injustices of the world to create a plan of action to cultivate peace. I have seen this formula work to solve local problems in Tororo, Uganda.

In a community where men are accepted as leaders while women are to stay at home, there is a school working to bridge the gap between gender roles. Young women in Tororo work cooperatively with the faculty at the Tororo Parents’ Girls’ Secondary to fully understand this injustice. By listening to what everyone has to offer, the community moves toward peace.

In group efforts to accept and to create understanding, in order to formulate a plan of action to correct unjust situa-tions, together we attain peace.

Unwillingness to debate results in voter apathy

Editorial

Several years ago, a buddy of mine got drunk in a bar. When the bar closed, he stumbled outside to journey

home. The door locked behind him, neon signs went dark, and this friend realized he needed to urinate. He found an unlit alleyway behind the bar, found a secluded area where a Dumpster met a brick wall, and discreetly began to relieve himself.

Mid-stream, he felt the firm hand of an officer clutch his shoulder. He was arrested for public urination, public intoxication and indecent exposure. Later, he was con-victed on all counts.

His punishment for public urination and public intoxication were modest fines. The penalties for indecent exposure were having his child taken away by Human Services and being listed as a sex offender in a national database — alongside violent rapists and child molesters.

A couple days ago, I walked into a flores-cent-lit room. I approached a ceramic bowl on the wall and, between a grown man and a young boy, liberated my genitals from my boxers and groaned as I emptied my blad-der. Across the room, a man was changing an infant’s diaper. No one spoke. When I was finished, I unabashedly strolled over to a sink and rinsed my hands before leaving. I was not arrested.

There’s an adage I’m sure you’re fa-miliar with: “When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go.” The idea behind it is that bodily functions are obligatory, not optional. We frequently use the euphemism “nature’s call” to express this concept when we refer-ence the irresistible compulsion to urinate or defecate.

In almost any social setting, we find it acceptable for someone to suddenly scurry away to answer this call. The understand-ing is universal.

I am not against a disincentive for performing bodily functions in locations unequipped for human waste disposal. A fine would likely prove adequate, but any greater punishment is excessive.

It is not unreasonable to have a desig-nated area to excrete whenever possible — “possible” being the operative word. But to vilify someone for addressing a necessity is absurd.

What I am against is an association between public urination and indecent exposure that renders the two charges es-sentially interchangeable. Urination is not in and of itself a sexual act. Its goal is not exposure. Otherwise, I would be rotting in prison right now for my use of a public rest-room while others were present. If we can

observe a distinction between urination and exposure in a restroom, we can observe it in an alley as well.

It is tremendously degrading to force a person to inform new neighbors of sex offender status, and that ought be reserved for those who genuinely deserve it— flash-ers, for example.

Think about it: In a moment of despera-tion, you might slink casually into a thicket only to wind up in the same league as pe-dophiles. We owe it to ourselves to be more sensible than that.

Share justice to share peace11 Days of Global Unity

Part I is written by Jan Beran, who is an active Presbyterian Christian who has worked abroad for 15 years. Part II is by Kate Dobson, who is a student at Ames High School and a member of Amnesty International and an activist for human rights.

Earlier this summer, David Rozga, an 18-year-old teenager from Indianola, Iowa, committed suicide after smoking a substance called K2. This substance is a synthetic form of cannabis, which can be legally purchased in many Iowa stores, as well as many online sites, such as Amazon.com. The incident prompted the Iowa pharmaceutical board to place an emer-gency ban on K2, rendering it illegal for the time being.

It is indeed a sad story, and my condo-lences go out to the Rozga family.

However, let’s forget for a moment that any drug, whether it be alcohol, codeine or Cialis, can cause a negative reaction in certain human bodies — my girlfriend becomes violently ill from codeine.

Let’s forget for a moment that the mother of one of Rozga’s friends said Rozga had been depressed for months and previously spoke of suicide, and that K2 probably exacerbated the situation.

Let’s forget for a moment that this 18-year-old had access to a firearm, which he ultimately killed himself with, and that the firearm had as much to do with Rozga’s death as K2.

Let’s forget all this for one moment and ask ourselves a few questions:

Why has there been so much attention

given to this substance and this case — so much so that the substance is now illegal, when alcohol causes more crime, violence and death than K2 ever has and ever will? Why was there no uproar to make alcohol illegal after the death of ISU student, Raven Gileau? Why is there no uproar when drunk drivers kill innocent bystand-ers? Why is there no uproar when an intoxicated father beats his family?

In Iowa, and probably in other states, alcohol causes more crime than all other drugs combined — according to page 121 of the 2008 Uniform Crime Reports for Iowa. Look it up. To say there is a double standard is putting it mildly.

Our country has serious inconsisten-cies about what it will allow to kill you. We ban drugs such as cannabis and K2 — drugs that you cannot overdose on, that do not cause physical dependency, and that would cause fewer deaths and even be less of a factor in deaths that it contributes to, than alcohol — but we allow alcohol and guns.

To be clear, I am not proposing we outlaw alcohol or guns; I believe in liberty

and education. These substances need to be legalized and regulated the same way as alcohol and guns. Each substance needs to be studied and thoroughly explained to the public; and the specifics of each law need to be adjusted according to the specifics of each substance, just as laws regulating guns differ from laws regulating alcohol.

When you start to look at the facts about U.S. citizens — with one in 31 adults in the corrections system, more than one in 100 adults in jail and more people in federal prison for cannabis offenses than violent offenses — about 60 percent of all federal inmates are incarcerated for drug-related offenses, and Iowa alone spent $44 million on cannabis prohibition in 2000.

When you look at what we are subject-ed to, you would be remiss not to shudder.

The saddest part is that nothing will likely change as long as we allow legal bribery in the form of political action committees, and as long as the alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceutical lobbies, which consider these substances their competi-tion, remain powerful.

The only way reason will triumph is if we hound our politicians and media. It may take a long time, but as long as we cherish our liberties, fiscally sound budgets and principles, the fight will be worth it.

Disparate substance policies flawedLetter

One of the few guarantees that can be made in an election year is political theat-rics, something of which 2010 has had no shortage.

With America still reeling from the ef-fects of the recession, politicians have the opportunity to cast the shadow of economic woe over everything from illegal immigra-tion to government spending. Mix that with the requisite finger-pointing and a healthy heap of anti-incumbent sentiment, and you’ve got a recipe for a volatile mid-term election.

Now, whether or not fingers can, or should, be pointed in any particular direc-tion isn’t what we’re concerned about. Instead, what we do find interesting is the trend best summarized by Republican strat-egist Mark McKinnon:

“Refusing to debate is a tired but tradi-tional tactic employed by almost every po-litical incumbent in American politics. The standard scenario: 1. Challenger calls in-cumbent to multiple debates; 2. Incumbent claims busy schedule serving voters he or she represents; 3. Challenger keeps pressure on, suggesting incumbent is afraid to show up; 4. Incumbent finally agrees to single debate held on a night and station no one watches; and 5. Incumbent wins reelection. We can only hope voters have become hip enough to the game that they demand their representatives debate early and often.”

How bad is it this year? Regrettably, we don’t even need to look out-of-state for examples: Iowa’s favorite senator, Charles Grassley, has been accused of ducking chal-lenger Roxanne Conlin, who has challenged the incumbent to 12 “Lincoln-Douglas-style debates.” Grassley has — surprise — cited his obligations as a senator when asked about the lack of response to Conlin’s request. Both fielded questions on IPTV’s Sept. 10 edition of “Iowa Press,” but Grassley has yet to agree to further debates.

House Representative Steve King, on the other hand, hasn’t debated a congressional opponent since his election in 2002. Our own Tyler Kingkade detailed the ongoing debate over, well, debating, between King and challenger Matt Campbell, who showed up at a King town hall meeting requesting a debate be scheduled. King dismissed this as a “fraternity prank,” and now refuses to debate Campbell.

Iowa State’s own political science pro-fessor and IPR political analyst Steffen Schmidt pointed out that incumbents tend to frown upon debating challengers because it serves little or no political benefit to them.

Therein lies the problem: Debates aren’t meant to benefit the politician. We have no shortage of commercials to watch or speech-es to attend, and finding a politician’s voting record or stance on a particular issue is easy.. So why do we have debates?

Maybe we’re interested in seeing how candidates respond: Do they skirt the ques-tions with rhetoric? Were their answers pre-planned or reactive? Are their demean-ors toward opponents those of courtesy and gratitude, or are they callow and dismissive?

We’re of the opinion that if someone is too busy to debate, he or she simply refuses to make time. Candidates can tell us why we should vote for them until they’re blue in the face, but the debates are where people shine, where ideology and execution finally come together.

An incumbent declining to debate solely to better his or her chance at election is ex-actly what the term voter apathy was coined to describe.

This summer, an Ames-based Ultimate team made up mostly of ISU alumni competed at the World Ultimate Championship in Prague, Czech Republic.

And they won.A first place finish at the World

Championship is an impressive feat, but what makes this “farmer-tanned team” so unique isn’t the gold medal; it’s how they got there.

It’s the story of Chad Larson.The Chad Larson Experience began in 2003

on our very own campus.A young man by the name of Chad Larson

had an itch for the game of ultimate frisbee that needed to be scratched.

Intramurals provided Larson with the

chance to perfect his game, and a love affair be-gan between him and his flying disc.

Larson earned his diploma in 2003 and de-cided to try his luck living in Texas, and although he left Cyclone country behind, he never lost his love of Ultimate.

Weeks passed, and Larson had yet to find a group that shared the enthusiasm for his favor-ite sport. So, he decided to form a team of his own.

One day at practice, Larson and his team-mates were discussing what to call their new found frisbee family.

“We should call it ‘Chad’s Team,’” Larson said at the time.

Amongst the group was a man named Bob Burns, former director of the governing body of U.S. Ultimate.

“Chad, no team named after you will ever be good,” Burns said.

News traveled back to Kevin Seiler, friend of Larson and captain of the ISU Ultimate club. The Frisbee-throwing Cyclones decided to hon-or their friend and former teammate.

Cyclones lose on the scoreboard not in defense despite imposing size of multiple Nebraska hitters, blockers

After slow start, junior Jenson reaches all-time high, leads in matchup against Nebraska, improves hitting

Cyclones disappointed by loss, not disappointed about team’s play against fourth-ranked Big 12 rival Cornhuskers

They certainly had their chances to get the job done.

Despite holding leads of four of more points in each of the final three sets Wednesday night, the ISU volley-ball team just couldn’t get the ball to

roll the right way in its Big 12 opener.In a wild back-and-forth match

against Nebraska, the Cyclones saw numerous opportunities slip through their hands in a tough 3-1 (25-22, 24-26, 25-23, 28-26) loss to the fourth-ranked Cornhuskers (9-1, 1-0).

“I thought everyone had a lot of fight in them, but just a few points here

and there went the wrong way,” said sophomore setter Alison Landwehr. “It’s really frustrating, but that just makes us want to practice harder and get those points next time.”

No. 11 Iowa State (7-2, 0-1) stormed back after facing two set points in the second set to win the fi-nal four points, but let an 18-12 lead in

set three and a 24-20 lead in set four go by the wayside.

Even with the loudest capacity crowd of the season at Ames High on hand and five chances to send the match into a fifth set, the Cyclones still couldn’t get themselves over the hump.

With what is obviously a painful

loss, coaches and players were still able to find several bright spots after running step for step with one of the perennial powers in the country.

“We played really well,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “This is one of the best teams in the country and I felt like we gave them the best shot we

Heartbreak

Normally a jersey number doesn’t reflect the talent of a player, but the number one on Carly Jenson’s back accurately described the outside hitter’s performance Wednesday night against the Cornhuskers.

The Omaha, Neb. native faced her biggest test of the season so far in the Cyclones’ Big 12 opener against No. 4 Nebraska at Ames High School. Despite the loss, she can not only be named MVP of the match, but most improved as well.

She began the match with an abysmal -.143 hitting percentage and two kills during the first set that went to Nebraska. She needed some en-couragement from coaches to stay in the game.

“After that first half of the set I was saying ‘Stay aggressive, you’re a great player,’” said

coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “I think she was just nervous. This was a huge match for her and she hasn’t been in this position very often.”

It wasn’t until halfway through the second set that Jenson managed to kick it up with a kill streak that helped the Cyclones take the set. By the time the end of the third set rolled around, Jenson had done a one-eighty, with a total 14 digs, 13 kills and a hitting percentage of .258.

The other side of the net held the biggest challenge for Jenson throughout the match, as she faced a huge right side block. Both Lindsey Licht and Morgan Broekhuis, the right side hitters for the Cornhuskers, measure in at 6-foot-5-inches.

Jenson said the block looked “really big” from her side of the net. During the first few sets, she expressed frustration on the court about the size of the block.

“I think at first I was just intimidated by their big block,” Jenson said, “but I think eventually I got past that and played my own game.”

Eventually Jenson did manage to play her own game, finding ways around the blockers. She started to find the holes and began hitting higher and with more confidence.

With 21 total lead changes and 38 tied scores, the match on the court was as tight as the seating off the court in the hot and humid Ames High gymnasium.

Iowa State had a chance to put the match into a fifth set with a 24-20 lead late, but the Huskers rallied and took advantage of a few Cyclone mistakes to pick up a win (25-22, 26-24, 25-23, 28-26).

“Just a few points here or there and we would have been right there,” said sophomore setter Alison Landwehr.

Coach Christy Johnson-Lynch agreed. “We had little opportunities here and there, we just didn’t quite convert.”

Defense (almost) wins rivalriesWith four players above 6-foot-3-inches

in the Nebraska front line, including a pair of 6-foot-5-inch right side hitters, the Cyclones had their work cut out for them on defense.

With the ISU offensive efforts coming up short in the 25-22 first set loss, the Cyclones turned to their defense to help them gain momentum.

“I thought at times we just played really nice defense,” Johnson-Lynch said. “And obvi-ously when we start playing some really nice defense we can transition it and make some runs.”

Outside hitter Victoria Henson made a pair of amazing saves which highlighted the defensive effort for the Cyclones.

With the match at 20-19 in favor of Nebraska, Henson nearly hurdled the Cyclones bench to save an errant dig. In the third set, Henson traveled out of bounds onto the Nebraska side to preserve the volley. Both saves transitioned into multi-point runs for Iowa State.

“There were some stretches there where we ran three, four or five points just because we kept digging the ball,” Johnson-Lynch said.

“I think our defense came with just wanting it so bad,” Landwehr said. “We were just trying to get after as much as we can, we had some girls make some amazing plays tonight and I think

that’s what kept us in there.”The Cornhuskers may have come out on the

winning end of the scoreboard, but defensively the Cyclones out-dug the them 73 to 48.

“It’s great that we can say that defensively,” Jenson said. “I think it takes them out of their

rhythm, so if we keep outdigging them it just frustrates them more and more.”

Jenson was second on the team with 17 digs behind senior libero Ashley Mass, who had 18. Landwehr finished with 12 and senior outside hitter Victoria Henson and junior defensive spe-cialist Caitlin Mahoney ended with 11 apiece.

Cyclones struggle on the right sideJohnson-Lynch has lauded junior right side

hitter Kelsey Petersen following numerous matches this season, and for good reason. The Kearney, Neb., native was hitting .333 heading into Wednesday night’s match and had hit above .500 in five of eight matches this season.

However, early on in the Nebraska match, Petersen struggled, hitting -.222 in the first set. Johnson-Lynch credited Petersen’s slow start in large part to the right side hitter’s expecta-tions of herself coming into the match.

“I think these kind of matches are always tough for someone from Nebraska,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Sometimes you want so badly to play well that you try too hard.”

Matlock entered for Petersen after her strug-gles in the first set. Following Matlock’s first kill, chants of, “She’s a freshman,” echoed from the student section.

“I was pumped and it really got me going because I was scared and skeptical at first,” Matlock said.

Petersen re-entered the match at 15-13 in fa-

vor of the Cornhuskers in the third set but didn’t get another chance to swing at the ball. Johnson-Lynch spoke with Petersen following the match for a few minutes as the coach stressed to just “play within herself.”

“Sometimes it’s for Vic [Henson] some-times its for Carly [Jenson] sometimes its for Kelsey [Petersen] so we feel like at some point she’s going to have to come and make a contri-bution,” Johnson-Lynch said of Matlock. “We don’t know where we are going to need her but we know we’ll need her throughout the season.”

Serving into the netHenson led the match in kills with 19, but at

the end of the match, with the score knotted up at 26, it was the senior who would be relied on at the service line, not at the net.

The Cyclones had already given up a set point at 24-20 and at 25-24 but following a ser-vice error from Nebraska’s Sydney Anderson, Henson had a chance to give the Cyclones the match.

Unfortunately for the returning All-American, her serve came off on the wrong part of her hand, falling into the net and giving Nebraska the eventual final serve of the match.

There was a total of four serve errors within the last nine points, two each for both teams.

“It’s alright. I mean, you miss serves, but you just have to brush it off and go into the next game and just not worry about it,” Henson said.

The ISU men’s basketball team announced Wednesday that transfer Darion Anderson has received a waiver from the NCAA, making him eligible to play in the 2010-2011 season.

Anderson, known as “Jake,” transferred to Iowa State in May from Northern Illinois.

He will be a senior this season.“Words can’t express how I feel right now,” Anderson said.

“It was a long process, and I kept my faith and I am just happy to be able to continue my collegiate career as a Cyclone. I want to thank the NCAA for allowing me this chance. I really did not have a backup plan, so going through the waiting process was really tough.”

Anderson was the MAC Freshman of the Year in 2007 and av-eraged 16.9 points and 5.4 rebounds in 2009.

had. I know we’ve got a little more in us, and I’m disappointed that we lost, but not disappointed with how we played.”

Iowa State’s outside hitters turned in anoth-er quality match despite a having a slow start, as Victoria Henson led all players with 19 kills on a .282 hitting percentage, followed by Carly Jenson’s 17 kills on a .289 clip. Jenson also add-ed 17 digs, giving her career highs in both kills and digs.

But no matter how efficiently the Cyclone defense and transition set up their offense, they had one of the biggest set of blockers in the na-tion waiting for them at the net.

With four of their seven hitters standing above 6-foot-3-inch, the Huskers owned play at the net all night, tallying 17 blocks in the process.

“They’re huge,” Johnson-Lynch said. “They’re such a big physical team, and there’s not a spot where you can look across the net and say ‘They’re terrible blocking there, let’s go after them.’”

The Cyclones also found difficulty in creating a successful block of their own, as Nebraska’s tricky 6-2 offense gave them fits on several occasions.

With three hitters in the front row at all times, it wasn’t uncommon for one of Nebraska’s powerful hitters to get a one-on-one with an ISU blocker.

And with a hitter like Nebraska’s 6-foot-5-inch opposite Lindsey Licht, it’s hard to get a stop when you’ve only got one pair of hands above the net. The Cornhusker senior had a team-high 15 kills in the match.

“She’s a great player and hard to prepare for,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She’s a senior and was their go-to, and she stepped when they needed her.”

The first conference road match of the sea-son now awaits the Cyclones on Saturday after-noon as they travel to Columbia to face Missouri (9-2, 1-0).

The Tigers swept Texas Tech (2-8, 0-1) on Wednesday night. First serve for Saturday is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Last year, 10 freshman were handed digital cameras and in-structed to document their first year at Iowa State.

The freshman photographed everything from the ISU cam-pus, to their friends in the year they participated in Fresh Fotos. The result can be seen at the Fresh Fotos reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday in the Memorial Union gallery.

The reception is a chance for last year’s freshman photogra-phers to showcase their work, and to introduce the new group of freshman who will have the opportunity to document their fist year at Iowa State.

The photos will be on display in the Union gallery until Oct. 11.

The name Jack Trice is familiar to many ISU students and alumni. It is spelled out in large letters along the outside of the football stadium. Plaques and a statue at the stadium entrance commemorate the story of Iowa State’s first black athlete. Now, John Arends hopes to share Trice’s story by writing a play about the athlete’s life and controversial death.

Arends, a 1977 ISU graduate, presented his play, “Trice - The Jack Trice Story,” Wednesday, Sept. 15, in Chicago, Ill.

The year Arends returned to Iowa State for a degree in creative writing, the stadium was named after Trice. He became interested in the football player’s history, and wanted to learn more about the life of Jack Trice.

“[Jack Trice’s story] is one of classic pro-portions,” Arends said. “It’s a moving underdog story ... it really got in my blood.”

Arends’ play was recently submitted to the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting, a na-tional competition sponsored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. After be-

ing judged, “Trice” placed in the top 30 of more than 6,000 scripts.

The play follows Trice’s journey from his home in Ohio to his final year at Iowa State. The show is written in a screenplay format, where a narrator describes the actions taking place and some of the performance includes the show’s 20 actors reading from their scripts.

While it is mainly about Trice’s football days, the play also focuses on the issues of segregation and racial violence.

When Trice was killed after injuries he re-ceived during a game in Minnesota, there was speculation Trice’s death was not accidental, but an intentional beating.

Though Arends believes Trice’s death could have been due to racial violence, he said the play was “a work of fiction,” but the story is “some-thing the nation should know about.” “It’s a story about a man and a university,” Arends said. “It’s something for Iowa State to be proud of.”

Teenager at Alcatraz

T h e C l a r e n c e C a r n e s S t o r y

Clarence Carnes, an Oklahoma Choctaw, was the youngest man ever sent to The Rock, and was a key player in the historic Battle of Alcatraz, when armed prisoners seized control. Native American storyteller Tim Tinge reconts Carnes’s story based on several hours of recorded interviews with an elderly prison inmate who accompanied Carnes on his Oklahoma crime spree. Tingle, an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, is known for bringing American folklore to life in lively historical, personal, and traditional stories. He plays the mouth harp, drums, and sings Choctaw hymns to complement his narratives. He is the author of six books, including Spirits of Dark and Light, the children’s book When Turtles Grow Feathers, and Crossing Bok Chitto. Tingle earned his MA in English from the University of Oklahoma, where he currently teaches the storytelling course, “Oral Literature of the Southwest.”

LAS VEGAS — Does Lady Gaga run the U.S. Senate?

A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid said Tuesday that a vote to re-peal the military’s ban of open-ly gay and lesbian soldiers had been planned for next week.

It was planned before the singer made waves with a plea during a popular daytime talk show.

The pop star known for flashy performances and ec-centric style called on Reid to repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy during an interview with host Ellen DeGeneres. That interview

aired Monday.Reid’s campaign and

Gaga traded talking points on Twitter after the lawmaker an-nounced the vote.

Reid told Gaga that repeal-ing the measure would be the right thing to do.

Campaign spokesman Kelly Steele said Reid does not take cues from Gaga

TORONTO — Bruce Springsteen figures his first three albums, including the classic “Born to Run,” were a prequel to the rest of his career.

He really started to find a purposeful working life with his fourth record, 1978’s “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” the subject of a docu-mentary that had its world

premiere Tuesday night at the Toronto International Film Festival.

After the enormous suc-cess of “Born to Run” three years earlier, Springsteen had been kept out of the studio be-cause of a legal dispute with his former manager.

When he finally began re-cording again with the E Street Band, a deluge of songs poured out, stories of anguish and doubt in an America mired in hard times and disillusioned after the Vietnam War.

On a personal front, Springsteen was struggling to preserve a connection with his working-class New Jersey roots amid his own good fortune.

Directed by Thom Zimny,

who made a similar making-of documentary about “Born to Run,” ‘’The Promise” blends new interviews with Springsteen and his band mates.

The documentary airs Oct. 7 on HBO, then will be includ-ed in a CD and DVD boxed set release of “Darkness on the Edge of Town” due in stores Nov. 16.

The set will include live shows on DVD from the “Darkness” era and two CDs of songs Springsteen recorded but left off the finished album, which includes such tunes as “Badlands,” ‘’Racing in the Street,” ‘’The Promised Land” and “Streets of Fire.”

Band mates say in the doc-umentary that Springsteen

wrote about 70 songs that were considered for the album.

During a year of recording, the band worked obsessively to hone them, only to have Springsteen then set them aside and move on to some-thing else.

At the start of their chat, Norton told Springsteen that fans had so embraced his songs that “I don’t even know if they’re yours anymore. People own them, and they’ve become part of the tapestry of their lives.”

“The way we did it was so hard that it often felt like we were doing it wrong,” Springsteen said. But “we weren’t doing it wrong. We were just doing it the only way we knew how.”

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Hootie & The Blowfish is getting a monument in South Carolina’s capi-tal city.

The State newspaper reported that a large steel and black granite art piece will be unveiled Oct. 21. It will be in Columbia’s Five Points neighborhood, blocks from the University of South Carolina.

The newspaper reported the monument is expected to be about 20 feet long, 10 feet wide and at least 12 feet tall.

The Southern rockers sold more than 16 mil-

lion copies of their debut album, “Cracked Rear View,” released in 1994.

The band hasn’t played together much re-cently. They celebrate their 25th anniversary next year.

Lead singer Darius Rucker has enjoyed a re-surgence in country music, releasing his second solo country album next month, “Charleston SC 1966.”

Three native Iowa artists will preform Saturday to help raise money for autism research.

The benefit concert will be held at Zeke’s, 3329 Lincoln Way, and will fea-ture popular folk singer William Elliott Whitmore, The New Bodies and Christian Brown.

Proceeds from the concert will ben-

efit the New York-based Autism Speaks organization.

Christopher Byrd, junior in animal sci-ence, spearheaded the benefit concert and began talking with Autism Speaks, an or-ganization dedicated to raising money for autism research, last semester.

He teamed up with Autism Speaks U, a branch of Autism Speaks geared toward college students, to realize the event.

“I find autism to be an extremely inter-

esting condition,” Byrd said. “It’s some-thing that’s becoming more prevalent as time goes by.”

Byrd mentioned a cure for the condi-tion has yet to be found and was interested in helping fund research.

Tickets for the event are $6 at the door and $5 if purchased online at www.au-tismspeaks.org/u.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the first artist will perform at 6:30 p.m.

Works created by fourth-year architecture students while they were in Rome are now on display in Gallery 181 in the College of Design building.

Fifty-six students contributed work in-spired by Rome’s architecture, ranging from

sketchbooks to photographs. The gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on

weekdays and the exhibit will be on display until Friday.

A young woman goes into the doctor’s office for a checkup. As she takes off her blouse, he notices a red “H” on her chest. “How did you get that mark on your chest?” asks the doctor. “Oh, my boyfriend went to Harvard and he’s so proud of it that he never takes off his Harvard sweatshirt, even when we make love,” she replies.

A couple of days later, another young woman comes in for a checkup. As she takes off her blouse, he notices a blue “Y” on her chest. “How did you get that mark on your chest?” asks the doctor. “Oh, my boyfriend went to Yale and he’s so proud of it that he never takes off his Yale sweatshirt, even when we make love,” she replies.

A couple of days later, another young woman comes in for a checkup. As she takes off her blouse, he notices a green “M” on her chest. “Do you have a boyfriend at Michigan?” asks the doctor.

“No, but I have a girlfriend at Wisconsin. Why do you ask?
