The greek community changed things up this year in the way they do Greek Week pairings. Instead of choosing pairings, there was a random drawing.

Greek Week is an annual tradition at Iowa State. With this tradition, each chap-ter gets paired with one or two other chap-ters as a team. The overall objective is to gain the most points and win Greek Week.

Before this year, the chapters had an option to choose who they wanted for their pairings. Small fraternities would seek a larger fraternity, and then the large fraternity would find a sorority.

The three would then become a pair-ing, as determined by the Greek Week chairs. Maggie Gerhls, co-chair of Greek Week, said that they chose to change the process this year due to difficulties in the past.

“After difficulties with how the pro-cess worked in the past, we decided to create this randomization system to even the chances for all house be paired with various chapters over the years,” Gerhls said. “This system will also take the pres-sure off of chapter co-chairs trying to line up pairings.”

Some people think this change is detrimental to their chances of winning, while others think this method is more fair.Cade Kiddoo, freshman in mechani-

There have been 51 burglaries in Ames, the major-ity of which were residential burglaries. Ames police of-fer tips for students on how to avoid having their homes broken into.

Most of the residential burglaries have been in the north and northeast side of Ames, something that Ames Police Investigations Commander Geoff Huff said was unusual. Laptops, TVs, smaller electronics like iPods and iPads and purses are some of the items stolen.

Some of the recent burglaries were “walk-ins” where burglars enter through unlocked doors, but windows and doors have also been broken in recently burglarized homes. Huff said the Ames police department is work-ing on quite a few leads and will hopefully have a break before students leave for winter break.

“I think time of year does play a role in it,” Huff said. “This is the time of year where people are out shopping, they’ve got brand-new stuff in the house and makes for a good target. ‘Tis the season to buy electronics, and that’s a lot of what’s been taken.”

Patrick Farrell’s house on the corner of Knapp and Stanton Ave. was broken into over Fall break.

Farrell, sophomore in advertising, said that three TVs, 40 dollars worth of cans, change and a brand new set of golf clubs were taken. He said all three TVs to-

gether were worth nearly $1,000, and the set of golf clubs were worth almost $1,500.

The burglary happened in less than 24 hours be-tween the time one of Farrell’s roommates left Tuesday morning and another returned Wednesday morning. Farrell said the company that was doing repairs on their rental house did not lock the house up Tuesday night, which is how burglars got inside.

“I was amazed that our house got broken into while we had workers here because we had the windows and the roof done over break,” Farrell said. “This 65-inch TV is not a small TV; it takes two people to carry it and we live on a main street. I was just amazed that no one saw two people taking a TV out.”

Farrell said that one of his neighbors’ screen door was tampered with, and someone tried to enter through another neighbor’s window.

Farrell and his roommates usually keep the house locked and shades drawn, something Huff said is helpful

in preventing burglaries.“It’s probably reasonable to believe they’re probably

walking around, they see something laid out on a table or a counter, and they’re coming in and getting it and getting out,” Huff said about the burglars.

Besides making sure deadbolts and windows are locked, Huff said students could benefit from getting to know their neighbors before break.

If any neighbors are going to be in town over break, they can help keep an eye out for suspicious behavior. Huff said it is also important to make sure that nothing valuable like electronics are visible from the outside.

“Small items are expensive, but a lot of people don’t know serial numbers, makes, models and stuff like that,” Huff said. “If there’s stuff you’re not going to take with you, take the time to figure out what you actually own. If we have that information, there’s a better likelihood that we are going to recover it.”

Farrell said that he and his roommates are going to lock their valuables in their individual rooms over winter break to ensure that their belongings will not be stolen again.

Anyone with information about the burglaries can call the non-emergency Ames police number at 515-239-5133 or the anonymous tip line at 515-239-5533. Reward money may be available for anonymous callers who call in to Story County Crime Stoppers.

Twice a year, the Memorial Union puts on a used magazine sale in order to attract students to the underused browsing library on the first floor.

The MU browsing library staff puts on this semi-annual event, which is held in the Memorial Union brows-ing library. Catherine Clark, a clerk in the student activities center, heads the event, and has been doing so for seven years.

The event has been going on for years, however, predating Clark.

“My understanding of this event is an awareness thing,” Clark said. “We want to bring people into the brows-ing library, maybe people who have never been there before. So we hold this special event hoping to catch peo-ple’s attention, and bring them into this room in Memorial Union.”

At the sale, there are several ta-bles of used magazines that are sold for $0.25 a piece. These magazines are donated mainly by the staff of the MU.

Clark says she thinks people don’t go into the browsing library much is because it’s small and tucked away, and it isn’t very promoted.

At this time, there are no other promotional events for the browsing library. However, Clark says she hopes this will change.

“When I was doing the materials for the magazine sale, I said, ‘why don’t we make signs that talk about some of the neat features in [the library], and make them undated?’” Clark said.

Some of the features in the library include a chessboard, a jigsaw puzzle area, a computer lab with a printer, comfortable furniture, a music stand

looking phone charging station in-cluding five or six phone chargers and even a small chapel.

All of the services in the library, with the exception of printing in the computer lab, are completely free to students and staff.

The magazine sale will be set up on three tables, where the donated magazines will be sorted into various categories.

To prepare for this event, Clark sent out an email a few weeks before-hand, asking anyone to donate their unwanted magazines. A couple weeks before the sale, her and her six-man staff hung 280 posters around cam-pus to advertise the event. The library was also given a good cleaning for the visitors.

Trevor Dammon, senior in math-

ematics, has been working in the library for two semesters now and helped by putting up flyers and setting up books for the event.

“This room is really cool, and I don’t see a lot of people come in usu-ally,” said Dammon. “Something likes this draws people in. More people come in during that week.”

Clark says that the magazine sale isn’t necessarily a huge money maker, but she does notice a change in the flow of traffic the week of the event.

Proceeds from the event go to-ward renewing the subscriptions to the magazines that are currently avail-able in the browsing library.

The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Dec. 9 to Thursday, Dec. 13 and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday.

A historic US-Iran agreement aims to halt Iran’s nuclear advances in making an atomic bomb while gradually reliev-ing the nation’s economic sanctions.

The deal was signed on Nov. 24 in Geneva’s Palace of Nations after sev-eral rounds of talks. The Guardian reported secret meetings between both the parties, running along with the official negotiations played a part in reaching the deal. It releases Iranian assets in frozen accounts and lifts trade restrictions on gold, petrochemicals and other goods.

In exchange, Iran has agreed to dilute its stock of enriched uranium, not commission its heavy-water reactor and accept more inspections from the International Atomic Energy Agency among oth-er restrictions on nuclear development.

“While today’s an-

nouncement is just a first step, it achieves a great deal. For the first time in nearly a decade, we have halted the progress of the Iranian nuclear program, and key parts of the pro-gram will be rolled back,” President Obama said in an address after the deal.

Defending the deal, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said nuclear de-velopment and economic progress were both impor-tant to the nation. Israel termed the deal as a histor-ic mistake as it allows Iran to continue critical com-ponents of its nuclear pro-gram and is not required to dismantle Arak, Iran’s heavy-water reactor.

“Any light we see at the end of this tunnel, it is seen as a positive step,” said Sina Safayi, postdoc-toral research associate from Iran at the College of Veterinary Medicine. He added the deal was largely seen positively back home.

Safayi said that he sees a couple of positive aspects to the deal. The taboo of

having talks with the oppo-site side has been broken down. Another aspect of this process, he said, was using diplomacy as a tool rather than economic or armed threats. He added he hopes extremists from both the countries do not derail the deal in the future.

Over the years, eco-nomic sanctions on Iran have heavily impacted oil production, the main source of revenue for the nation. After the sanctions, value of the Iranian rial has plunged and contrib-uted to inflation, about 40 percent.

“The deal is a disaster because it hasn’t imposed any serious conditions on Iran to force it to stop its nuclear program. We are already giving them some-thing for nothing,” said Mitchell Bard, executive director of the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise based in Maryland. “There is no re-quirement for Iran to stop enriching Uranium, which is a requirement for United Nations Security Council resolutions.”

Safayi said he did not agree with the criticism of the deal as it is largely based on fear mongering.

Bard said the deal as-sumes the required would be done by Iran and gives it time to develop its nuclear weapon. He added that the only “remotely positive” aspect of the deal is that it revives hope in diplomacy with Iran.

Ideally, Bard said the deal should have asked Iran to completely stop nu-clear enrichment, destroy its current centrifuges and existing nuclear stockpiles. He said the alternatives would be impose tougher sanctions to compel Iran to stop its nuclear program or take military action.

Some questioned the validity of Israel’s position on Iranian nuclear devel-opment when Israel itself is widely believed to have built nuclear arsenal and refusing to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Bard said the posses-sion of nuclear weapons by Israel is not dangerous as it hasn’t threatened to use them. He added that the Iran issue is more compli-cated than the nuclear is-sue as various geo-strategic interests are involved.

“Any progress or breakthrough in opening doors in and out of Iran increases the exchange be-tween Iran and the world. That exchange helps to open the eyes of those who don’t know anything else than what they have been told in schools and cen-sored public media,” Safayi said.

The deal releases Iranian assets in frozen accounts and lifts trade restrictions on gold, petrochemicals and other goods in exchange for restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program.

Researchers at Iowa State University are work-ing on creating a nationally recognized center for de-veloping nanovaccines.

Balaji Narasimhan, professor of chemical and biological engineering and the leader of the project, said that nanovaccines have great potential to pre-vent and treat many differ-ent types of illness.

Most vaccines today are liquid solutions con-taining either whole vi-ruses that have been killed or just the parts that the immune system recog-nizes. They can be injected into the body or inhaled through a mist.

A person’s body re-sponds to the pathogen in the vaccine and develops antibodies against it. The next time you are exposed to that particular patho-gen, your immune system recognizes it immediately and destroys it before it can do serious damage.

Nanovaccines are sim-ilar to regular vaccines, but they are more advanced. They consist of the same inactivated pathogen, but instead of being suspend-ed in liquid it is contained in a synthetic particle a few hundred nanometers in diameter.

This means research-ers can design nanovac-cines that are much easier to transport and store than traditional vaccines.

“The World Health Organization has esti-

mated that about half the cost of the vaccine goes into making it cold,” Narasimhan said. “So the particles are designed to have thermal stability. You don’t need to refrigerate them before use.”

He also explained that nanovaccines are much easier to administer.

“Using needles means the possibility of infec-tion, adds to the cost and you need a professional to administer it. If you can self-administer with nee-dle-free technology, such as patches or inhalers, then there is the ability to improve patient compli-ance and reduce the drop out of patients from mass immunization programs,” Narasimhan said.

The technology isn’t just limited to vaccina-tions. Implications range from reducing infant mortality in the develop-ing world to reducing the side effects of traditional medicine.

One example of a medicine that could be im-proved by nanotechnology is to prevent malaria.

M i c h a e l Wannemuehler, profes-sor and chair of veterinary microbiology and preven-tative medicine at Iowa State’s College of Veterinary Medicine, described how soldiers are affected when they travel to parts of the world with malaria.

“These guys either have to take a 21-day regi-men of Doxycyline, or they have to take enough doses to get two to four milligrams

in total of the drug. But it makes them sick. They get nauseous. If we could put it in a particle to slowly re-lease over time, they would only need to take it once,” Wannemuehler said. “These kids don’t want to take it everyday. They say, ‘I feel fine,’ and two months later they break out with malaria.”

The team is using a “systems” approach to de-sign nanovaccines. While

they develop a vaccine or medicine, they examine where and how it will be used. They incorporate this knowledge into the design of the vaccine, mak-ing it more effective. This is much faster than the tradi-tional method of develop-ing medicines.

Due to this system’s approach, a wide range of people are involved in the project. They are from 13 different departments

and five different colleges across campus. Also, many people are involved out-side of Iowa State, includ-ing industry researchers.

This is all pos-sible due to Iowa State’s Presidential Initiative for Interdisciplinary Research, which was established by Iowa State President Steven Leath.

The nanovaccine team is one of four teams that won a three-year, $4.5 mil-

lion grant.“Our goal is to create

a center scale which will have a national presence, and that will enable us to work with the companies, regularity agencies, nation-al labs, funding agencies, to really carry out what we call in our field translation research. We don’t want our research to just sit in a journal paper or on a web-site. We want it to go to the people,” Barasimhan said.

The temperature was a mere nine de-grees a little after 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6 but not even the freezing weather put a damper on the festivities of the 7th Annual Andy Albright Memorial Jingle Jog.

Students and community members dressed up in their most creative holiday outfits, as well as their long johns, and braved the elements to make this year’s Jingle Jog another rousing success.

Kellie Richardson, sophomore in event management and special events co-chair-woman for the Freshman Council, pro-vided a final tally of the number of partici-pants, as well as the money raised for the scholarship the Jingle Jog funds.

“We had 728 runners total, which means we raised about $9,000 for the schol-arship fund,” Richardson said. “It was not quite enough to endow the scholarship, but it puts us in a great position for next year to be endowed.”

In the hours leading up to the race, a parade of students in colorful costumes ranging from Cindy Lou Who and the Grinch to Santa and his elves ascended the stairs of the Memorial Union to the Pioneer Room to register for the Jingle Jog.

Jessica Speck, freshman in elementary

education, came dressed as Santa Claus and voiced what was a common sentiment amongst this year’s Jingle Jog participants as to what drew them to the event.

“We were most excited about dressing up,” Speck said. “This is all just really fun. Although, Santa ate a lot today so we’re go-ing to do a mix of running and walking for the 5k (5,000 meter race).”

After registration, Jingle Joggers ven-tured down the hall to the Gallery Room to participate in a number of special events leading up to the start of the race.

Kristen Mancosky, junior in diet and exercise and peer advisor to the Freshman Council, participating in her third consec-utive Jingle Jog spoke of the festivities and their evolution over the last few years.

“Each year has gotten a little bigger and a little better,” Mancosky said. “The activities keep improving now with the pic-ture booth, the face painting, and of course, the costume contest.”

Some participants who had extra time before the start of the Jingle Jog also voluntarily helped to create holiday cards

that will be distributed by the Freshman Council to children in local hospitals who can’t be home for the holidays.

As 6 p.m. approached, the costume clad students migrated up to Beardshear Hall for the speeches preceding the start of the 5k. Because of the cold, the speeches were moved indoors to the second floor common area inside Beardshear.

Morgan Bobb, senior in nutritional science and co-director of Winterfest, in-troduced the speakers.

“This year our speakers were Dean Pamela Anthony, as well as Bethany Olsen,” said Bobb. “Bethany is a senior in agricul-ture and an excellent representation of a student athlete as well as someone involved in leadership and Iowa State traditions. She spoke very well about the importance of tradition for students and the community, which is exemplified by the Jingle Jog.”

The speakers were preceded and fol-lowed with songs sung by the Kappa Pellas and Tau Beta Singers, a student a cappella group comprised of band members from the University’s traditional band fraternity, Kappa Kappa Sci and sorority, Tau Beta Sigma.

Drew Barker, senior in instrumental music education, formed the group and led them in renditions of “Barbara Ann,” “Let It Snow” and “Mr. Grinch,” among others.

“I started this group because some of us didn’t have a chance to sing anymore be-ing so heavily involved with band,” Barker said. “We usually just sing for other band people, so this was great.”

A little after 6p.m., the runners gath-ered outside to view the lighting of the campus Christmas tree, which signified the start of the race.

Nicholas Herbert, freshman in aero-space engineering, didn’t run the race but came out to view the tree lighting ceremony.

“The tree lighting was great, like a thousand different colored fireworks jump-ing off at once,” Herbert said.

Katie Carver, junior in agronomy, is a past participant in the Jingle Jog and con-tinued support the event this year.

“The Jingle Jog is my absolute favorite tradition at Iowa State,” Carver said. “Not enough people know about it.”

After the tree was lit, the colorful hoard galloped off into the night, undeterred by the cold.

“I am so extremely proud of what my committee as well as the Freshman Council was able to create this year,” Richardson said. “Without them this annual race would not happen, and watching the whole event come to life was all worth the hard work this semester.”

On Saturday, a large group of students devoted their energy and lack of sleep to a good cause – to raise money for children with cancer.

Every year, Iowa State stu-dents gather at the State Gym for “Up ‘til Dawn.” Their goal is to raise money and awareness for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“St. Jude is a research hospital that treats the sickest of the sick children,” said Matt O’Shea, St. Jude representative. “We primar-ily cover cancers, different blood disorders or other catastrophic diseases.”

Because of their business model, the hospital depends on funds and donations to exist, O’Shea said. St. Jude costs $1.9 million a day to run since they cover their patients’ treatments.

“We don’t charge families for any of the treatment they re-ceive or for housing, travels or meals. The main focus of the par-ents should be the wellbeing of their children, not the finances,” O’Shea said.

For this year’s “Up ‘til Dawn”, students raised over $62,000 be-fore the event, which is four times the amount of last year.

“That makes ISU the No. 2 fundraising university out of 105, only topped by another ISU, Illinois State University,” O’Shea said. “That’s nothing short of amazing.”

Around 1,500 students par-

ticipated in the fundraiser. On Saturday, they stayed in the State Gym from midnight to 6 a.m.

“The motto of St. Jude founder Danny Thomas was that no child should die at the dawn of life, so for this, students stay up until dawn out of solidar-ity,” said Candice McKay, St. Jude representative.

To avoid that the students accidentally fall asleep, the event team decided to keep them awake with multiple activities. With the incentive of prizes to win, the students painted team flags and competed in various challenges.

“The challenges are trying to simulate what many of the chil-dren are going through at the hos-pital,” said Clayton Long, event coordinator and senior in kinesi-ology and health.

For example, the losing limb challenge involved finding objects blindfolded, trying to get dressed with one arm tied behind their backs and a three-legged race with a partner. Another challenge had them painting with nothing more than syringes at their disposals.

Catherine McClurg, fresh-man in design, said she enjoyed the energy and atmosphere of the night.

“Everyone is really support-ive and it makes for a really good time,” McClurg said.

McClurg raised $260 for the cause, mainly via emails and reaching out online.

“I don’t think that staying up all night is going to be a problem for me, as a student, I am kind of trained,” McClurg said.

Three ISU football players agreed to shave their heads for “Up ‘til Dawn” as a sign of solidar-ity with cancer patients.

“My family has had a history with cancer, so I totally under-stand where their families and friends are coming from,” said Lucas Knott, sophomore in sup-ply chain management.

Knott said he thought shav-ing his head was just a great way to give back to people who have gone through that struggle.

“Staying up one night for a cause like this is totally worth it re-gardless of the upcoming finals,”

Knott said.“Up ‘til Dawn” also had a St.

Jude patient, 17 year old Shiloh Carroll, talk about her experienc-es. Carroll said that in 2004, she was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Fortunately, her brain sur-gery at St. Jude went well and she was able to walk out without any disabilities.

“It is awesome seeing all these people come out here and doing so much for the great cause and saving lives like mine,” Carroll said. “It’s so inspiring and I simply love the university.”

Carroll said there were a lot

of times when she had to stay up until dawn herself.

“I had four rounds of chemo-therapy, so during that time I of-ten couldn’t sleep, simply because I didn’t feel well or was in pain,” Carroll said. “It was really tough.”

At 6 a.m., the students could finally walk out of State Gym and head into their beds. O’Shea said that Iowa State has become a champion for St. Jude.

“The students have collec-tively taken the hospital under their wings,” O’Shea said. “We don’t know what we would do without their passion and efforts.”

In his recent column, “Put a Stop to Wasteful Military Spending,” Anthony Bader makes several key assumptions, leading me, at least, to entertain the possi-bility that his column stems more from politics than from a careful consideration of facts.

Bader repeats the often-used figure that the United States spends more on the defense department than the next 10 largest spenders combined. While not neces-sarily inaccurate, Bader’s use of this figure lacks the neces-sary context. The next 10 countries on any list of mili-tary expenditures, typically including China, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Japan all lack the extensive range of global military commit-ments the United States has.

American bases across Asia, Europe and the globe bolster the defense of our partner nations, often with the effect of allowing the host nation of an American military presence to spend far less on its own defense than might otherwise be the case.

Take the case of Bader’s vaunted health care systems in Sweden, France and the United Kingdom, for in-stance - the American pres-ence (and subsequent cost

to the American taxpayer) in these regions during the Cold War acted as a shield of sorts against potential war with Russia, allowing such nations to expand their welfare states in the shadow of the American military.

Simply stating that the United States spends more than the next 10 nations combined, then, ignores the pivotal role the United States has come to play in ensuring global safety and security for far more than our own citizens.

Mr. Bader also makes much of the (admittedly deplorable) levels of student debt in the United States, noting, correctly, that such debt exceeds $1 trillion.

However, Bader ignores the sad reality of defense budget cuts - in the event of cuts beyond the already extensive “sequestration,” the brunt of the blow will not fall on necessary upkeep of machinery or maintain-ing a force prepared for the current global security situation.

Instead, the benefits, pay and educational oppor-tunities available to millions of Americans will be gouged.

Already, the availability of tuition assistance pro-grams for Lance Corporals and below in the Marine Corps (representing 47 percent of the force, and the bulk of first-term enlistees), for example, has been cut,

denying individuals who might not otherwise be able to pay for college classes the opportunity to gain valuable opportunities for profes-sional advancement and a successful transition to a civilian career.

I would invite Anthony Bader to speak with the average enlisted soldier, sailor, airman or Marine and ask them about the “lavish” benefits they are receiving, debt-free lifestyles and state-of-the art equipment they are sent into combat with. Bader might find the results illuminating.

While I wholeheartedly agree with Bader that every-one should have a shot at an

education, those who have actually been shot at in the defense of us all, including Bader, deserve a chance to advance professionally, be fairly compensated for their service and take advantage of the educational opportu-nities made available in their own country.

Bader, it seems, would prefer that the defense budget be gutted, impairing America’s ability to defend its citizenry and keep faith with its uniformed person-nel, instead shoveling funds into a massive welfare state already rife with the same type of accounting abuses and fraud Bader condemns in the Pentagon.

Visitors to the Chinese city of Shanghai may not be able to see the buildings looming half a mile in front of them, but they may see countless residents streaming past them with air-filtering masks adorning their faces. In the first week of December, flights were delayed, workdays cancelled and children were forced indoors as a result of dangerous levels of pollution.

The pollution in China’s major cities is by no means breaking news, but pollution levels in Shanghai have no gotten so bad that they are literally off the chart. A chart on the Shanghai’s government’s monitoring website displays various levels of air pollution and their potential danger to those who breathe the air.

On Dec. 6, a reading taken in the city produced a level of 503, which goes beyond what Shanghai’s index even predicts. For some perspective, levels of about 300 are considered severely harmful to a person’s health and in fact, levels above 20 are not recommended by the World Health Organization.

Until recently, China had notori-ously bad air pollution and emissions regulations, leading to undue smog and pollutants filling the air. Chemical plants and factories belch foulness into the air at all hours of the day, and until the last few years, all this went unhindered.

Growing protests from environ-mentalists and even common citizens struggling with breathing problems led to action. In June of this year, China enacted a number of new air quality measures to decrease factory emissions across the entire country.

Unfortunately, these new laws (and the growing severity of their punishments) may be too little, too late.

As China continues to grow at an alarming rate, cutting back emissions will do little in the grander scheme. A goal set by the Chinese cabinet is for each unit of economic output to produce 30 percent less polluting emis-sions by 2017.

An article by the New York Times points out that this may not be enough: “if the economy grows 7 percent or more a year, as forecast, the decrease in total pollution will be modest.” Even that estimation is modest, as China’s economic growth has been between 8 and 14 percent since 2001.

It’s easy to disregard this informa-tion, categorizing high pollution rates as “China’s problem.” Unfortunately, despite being separated by vast geo-graphical distance, it is in the end the same air that we breathe. It may be Shanghai citizens that are wearing the air-filtering masks today, but tomorrow, next month, next year, it could be us. Reports of China’s pollution affecting the United States are seen more and more frequently with each passing year.

A report by Discover magazine illuminates the dangers of China’s pol-lution, stating that China now pushes more mercury into the atmosphere than Europe, the US and India all combined. Due to the extreme rate of expansion and development in China, the pollution has gotten completely out of control.

Problems caused by these emis-sions are not limited to global warm-ing, abnormal weather or the melting ice caps. We can expect that these levels of pollution will produce more immediate outcomes within our own generation. The list of problems that

chemical pollutants cause is longer than can be listed in this column. It includes prenatal brain development problems, asthma, emphysema, and forms of cancer.

The mercury in the air is the biggest problem, and some evidence seems to state that this level of mercu-rial exposure can cause Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases - not a fate that anyone wants.

When the consequences are decades or even centuries away, as is commonly thought of global warming, we feel comfortable leaving the solu-tion to the next generation.

However, it is our generation who will be struck with the health problems that result from air pollution. We will be the ones with lung cancer, severe asthma, or even dementia as the years pass because we didn’t step in.

Obviously there is no direct way we can influence the government of China’s decision. However, they’ve shown that they are not unwilling to work against pollution, and we need to make sure that continues.

Don’t assume that factories in Asia don’t affect you, they do. We must speak, loudly, to enact the necessary change and save, if not our future gen-erations, at least ourselves.

There are countless distances and differences between China and the US - geographical, lingual, cul-tural - but we share one atmosphere. Pollution-related illnesses and disease will affect us, not our grandchildren or their grandchildren. Maybe the onset of these illnesses will spur action, as well they should.

As stated by atmospheric chem-ist Dan Jaffe in Discover magazine’s article, “There is no Planet B. We all live downwind.”

Letter to the editor

The winter wonderland has officially made it’s way to Iowa State. Nearly every inch of Ames and campus has been blan-keted in the fine white powder that signals winter is here to stay.

Many of us woke up on Sunday morn-ing to find our cars and sidewalks buried in several inches of snow and frozen solid in frigid temperatures. The flurries mean snowmen, snowball fights and many an ‘Instagrammed’ photo of rough-housing in the snow. But this beautiful winter wonderland also means dangerous driving conditions that many students, faculty and staff will have to encounter on their way to class - or even on their way home after finals.

The Iowa Department of Transportation states that the five-year av-erage number of winter season precipita-tion days for Iowa is 53. This means there is a lot of days where the driving conditions are less than ideal. If you choose to drive this winter season, it is your responsibility to be prepared and drive safely.

Braving the winter chill early in the morning may be a less than desirable task, but clearing off all of your windows before hitting the road is important to driving safely. This doesn’t just mean creating a small hole of visibility right in front of the driver’s seat of the windshield, but fully scraping off the ice and snow in order to see not only other vehicles but also pedestrians.

When driving in the ice and snow it is also important to be courteous of other drivers who may not be as comfortable in the driving conditions as you.

The Iowa Department of Transportation suggests that winter drivers reduce speeds, avoid using their cruise control and give themselves plenty of time to brake before their wanted stop. Accelerating at a green light can also be a tricky task on the ice and snow. Giving yourself extra time to reach your destina-tions will make driving during this time of year less stressful and lead to fewer accidents from trying to rush in less than ideal conditions.

Being considerate and cautious around snowplows is also key to surviving the winter driving months. Pay attention to snow ordinances and move your car to the correct parking spots so that the road can be cleared more easily.

Drifting and purposefully parking incorrectly in the commuter lot may seem like harmless fun, but not only are these seriously dangerous activities, they can also be really cumbersome and stressful for others trying to deal with the weather.

Navigating and finding a parking spot in the commuter lot is a difficult task to begin with. There are times when the lines of the parking lot are not visible, but drivers should still use common sense in parking during those times. Boxing others in, parking in the wrong direction or mak-ing the driving areas between the rows so narrow that other cars can’t pass through is inconsiderate and easily avoided. Always check to see how you have parked, and be sure to correct your parking mistakes.

Driving in the winter months is stress-ful and annoying for everyone. Be consid-erate and take the time to prepare yourself - and your car - before you hit the streets.

The most important thing to remem-ber this winter season is that it’s always better to be late and alive rather than driv-ing dangerously to make it on time, risking your life and the lives of others.

Following these simple guidelines can help ensure that we all make it home safely to our families this holiday season.

Road-tripping out west over Thanksgiving break got me thinking about geology and

climate more than ever before. The trip took my car over Iowa and Nebraska plains, through the Rocky Mountains and into Arches National Park in the middle of no-wheresville Utah; Onward to Zion National Park and then Yosemite Valley in California.

The Iowa-Nebraska plains that lead upwards to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains are the direct remnants of the Great Ice Age that began 2.5 million years ago. Technically it isn’t over be-cause Greenland is still covered by a thick sheet of ice that is a re-sult of the beginning of The Great Ice Age. Once the thick ice over Greenland melts, The Great Ice Age epoch will be terminally over.

The Great Ice Age smoothed over the Midwest plains af-ter ice, miles thick, descended down from Canada and into the region of the United States that was between the Rocky and Appalachian Mountains. The ice began receding and melting, flat-tening the contour lines of the Midwest even more. The Great Lakes and Minnesota’s “Land of 10,000 Lakes” is also a direct re-sult of glaciers carving out land and melting into the remaining space.

In between this Great Ice Age are what’s called “intergla-cials,” cycles of relatively warm and cool periods that cycle on a consistent 100,000 year loop. We can accurately record the average global temperature from nearly a million years ago by examining bubbles inside cores of ice from Antarctica.

Using the same method, among other methods, we can also examine the air quality

from nearly a million years ago. According to NASA and NOAA, the rise and fall in average global temperature every 100,000 years fits the rise and fall of carbon dioxide in the air every 100,000 years like a glove.

According to where we are in the glacial cycle, we are overdue for a period of cooling.

With Earth behaving nor-mally, provided it continues the consistency of at least half a mil-lion years, we should soon ex-perience a relatively quick drop in global temperature. Not “Day After Tomorrow” quick, but quick over the course of 1000 years. This interglacial drop in tem-perature, like the last half million years, should roughly be about ten degrees celsius, or 50 degrees fahrenheit, on average.

Twelve thousand years ago we spiked in warmth, as we should have, but have yet to drop as we should have. At every tem-perature spike over the last half million years, the level of CO2 in the air is nearly always around 270 parts per million and has never been higher than 300 parts per million in the time we have been capable of recording.

In 1950 we were at a CO2 lev-el of approximately 280 parts per million, according to NASA, and today we are almost 400 parts per million and rising exponen-tially. That’s 100 parts per million higher in the last 60 years than has been recorded in the last half million.

It is an undeniable fact that CO2 levels correlate with global temperature levels; that’s not the argument. It’s also an undeni-able fact that Earth is warming, when it really should be cooling right now, but that’s also not the argument.

The argument is to what ex-tent are humans responsible for CO2 and temperature change.

In 1880 the global tempera-ture was on the decline and hit a low in 1910, a low as per the last 130 years. Not surprisingly, the industrial revolution for many nations was beginning around that time, and the temperature has been increasing since.

Ice has been melting and wa-ter levels have been rising. This is something that is expected to happen as part of a regular cycle. The issue that we have is the rate at which the waters are rising and the ice is melting. It’s a rate that we can’t keep up with, a rate that is too quick for people of espe-cially poor areas in the world to relocate - a sad reality, given that these poor areas in the world are usually the least responsible for CO2 production.

The extreme height and rate of CO2 in our atmosphere is al-ready causing immediate and measurable problems. I’m not talking about predictions; I’m talking about current measure-ments like ocean acidity, the breaking of large portions of the ice caps, droughts and failing agriculture, the health of people and animals and unnatural rate of ocean rise to name a few.

The realization of our posi-tion is a sort of double-edged sword. On one hand, the amount of CO2 currently in the atmo-sphere is preventing the Earth from cooling in the cycle that it has for the last half million years.

That takes the burden off our shoulders of having to deal with another ice age, which would be the most catastrophic natural di-saster the world has ever seen.

But now we must deal with the effects of high atmospheric CO2.

The latter is much worse. It’s an unpredictable experiment we are running, with our entire spe-cies in one boat. Much like what was said about nuclear warfare, “we don’t have another planet in which to run the experiment.”

Regardless of the extent in which humans are responsible for the extreme levels of CO2, we should treat it as if it is our prob-lem. If we’re wrong, we’re wrong. If we’re right and do nothing about it, we die pathetically.

The rise in temperature and CO2 in the world literally needs to be America’s and the rest of Earth’s number-one priority. Not the economy, which is a never ending kerfuffle. Not foreign pol-icy; everyone can’t ever be happy at once. Not even civil rights, as nasty as that sounds and goes against nearly everything I say. This issue is a matter of preserv-

ing our species, which is the pin-nacle of all human goals.

There are only two reasons for doing nothing. Number one, you don’t believe we can do any-thing about the fact the CO2 and temperature levels are rising well above their expected rate. And number two, you think we don’t have a right to mess with God’s plan.

Both reasons are silly and will lead to our demise if the problem doesn’t reverse on its own, which is unlikely.

Iowa State strives towards being a “green” campus, which is all fine and dandy, but it’s not enough to just put in LED lightbulbs, use wind power and recycle.

Engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs need to work to-gether and implement new tech-nology, from the ground up, that dramatically reverses our carbon footprint. That’s our only hope to solve this problem.

Take an active role in mak-ing this happen; don’t fight it be-cause you’re afraid of something new. Embrace what it means to actually be green.

Whenever we encounter someone new

on campus, one of the first questions we ask is, “What’s your major?” In my case, I respond that my major is journalism and mass communication. Depending on the answer to this question, a certain unconscious response is generated from the questioner. I often receive a response along the lines of “Journalism? I bet that’s easy.” No matter what the intentions of the speaker, the implication is often that I, or others with that major, are less intelligent than others.

We have it in our heads that if you aren’t an engineer or math major, you are taking an easy career path. This is com-pletely false. Each major, in its own way, can be considered difficult.

As humans, we are each granted with a special set of skills. These skills in-fluence our interests and, eventually, what career path we decide on. We take classes that enhance our knowledge within our skill set and stay away from those that do not. It’s wise to acknowledge strengths and weaknesses; college is just a way of honing strengths.

When we enter into our chosen major, we are each greeted with differ-ent challenges that make our program difficult for each of us. But, our major is constantly compared to other majors determining whether or not it is “easy.”

The way that the dif-ficulty of a major is viewed by society is all due to relativity. When comparing journalism to an engineer major, of course journal-

ism seems “easier.” But, after thinking about the set of skills needed and the work that goes into being successful in that program, both have different char-acteristics that make each program difficult.

While math and sci-ence majors are spending their time solving problem after problem or spending long hours in the lab, jour-nalism and English majors are writing paper after paper and art majors are spending hours perfect-ing their projects. All are doing something that they possess a strong skill set in, and all tasks are equally arduous.

There’s a reason why I chose to be a journalism major and not any major that has to do with math. I am terrible at understand-ing math and all of the rules that go along with it. I can understand enough to get me by in life, but ask me to solve some lengthy equation and you might have better luck asking someone in high school.

Instead, my skill set is in writing and communi-cation. I love typing words on a page and sharing information with others through this medium. Even though this may be easy for me, my major still requires me to take cours-es that I find challenging.

Challenges in pro-grams like English, art, and history, are most often overlooked. When called “easy,” it makes it seem like that members of these ma-jors are not as inherently smart as those who are in a “difficult” major.

Einstein said, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” But, if you were to place this fish into a body of water, it would be much more successful than a tree dwelling monkey. College is the time to discover and pursue our own body of water.

In the business world, one degree is not

completely relied on for the operation of a huge corporation to be success-ful. Instead, people of all different skills and back-grounds work together for one goal: success. A company run entirely by engineers, math majors, English majors or journal-ists would fall most likely

fall apart.Successful businesses

rely on employees with a variety of different majors and backgrounds.

Employee skills are matched to the appropri-ate role or job within the organization.

The next time that you feel the urge to comment

on someone having an “easy major,” stop and think what that program may be like for them.

Maybe you can solve extensive calculus equa-tions, but with what ease would you construct a 15 page research paper? You could be unintentionally putting down something

that someones passion is in.

In the end, we are all working towards a common goal - graduate and be successful in our chosen profession.

And in order to reach that goal we all must overcome challenges, no matter what our major is.

DES MOINES — Melvin Ejim didn’t expect it to happen the way it did.

With 1:30 left in an over-time game against in-state ri-val Northern Iowa, the Cyclones were ahead 79-75. Deandre Kane had just ballet-tip-toed his way through the lane and missed a contested layup. Dustin Hogue snatched a rebound and sent it back out to Ejim at the top of the key, standing all alone.

With 1:23 left in the game, Ejim had the chance to back it out and milk another 35 seconds off the clock, cutting the game’s life in half.

Instead, Ejim sunk his fourth 3-pointer of the half and second in the last two possessions. That’s what you do when you’ve scored your 20th point of a single half. You don’t think, you just do.

“That’s one of those no, no, no, no, yes deals,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg of the play.

Ejim finished the game with 22 points and seven rebounds, 20 and five of those coming in the second half and overtime, lead-ing Iowa State (7-0) to a 91-82 overtime win against UNI (3-5) at Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday.

“I played a little bit harder, tried to get a little more rebounds and that kind of sparked my en-ergy and we started going,” Ejim said.

It was an entire team’s trans-formation in the second half that turned the game around, though, after UNI had jumped out to a 42-29 lead at halftime.

The disciplined attack and tempo of the Panthers limited Iowa State to just 41 percent shooting and three assists in the first half, cutting the legs out from underneath the transition offense the team thrives on.

After the Cyclones had 28 as-sists on 33 buckets nearly a week prior against Auburn, they had totaled only three assists on 12 made shots in the first half and had an assist/turnover ratio of three to seven.

In the second half, a slow start had UNI ahead 49-31, Hoiberg

called a quick timeout, laying into Naz Long who gave up the basket.

From there Iowa State out-scored UNI 60-33 to finish the game. In the second half, they tal-lied 13 assists on 18 made buck-ets and only five turnovers, while forcing 10 from UNI.

“Once we really started de-fending, getting active hands, getting turnovers, you look at our first half I think we had [three] as-sists,” Hoiberg said. “That ain’t us. We get that ball moving.”

The game nearly didn’t go to overtime. If Kane makes his sec-

ond free throw at the end of regu-lation, UNI forward Seth Tuttle doesn’t bank in a 3-pointer to send it to an extra period.

It’s not the first time this team has experienced a gut-wrench-ing play to extend the game, a-la Ben McLemore at Phog Allen Fieldhouse last year. But during overtime, this team showed its resolve even with Georges Niang and his 22 points fouled out.

Iowa State out-scored UNI 20-11 in the extra period, mak-ing 5-of-7 shots from the field and eight of nine free throws.

“We’ve been down in that spot where guys have hit buzzer-beaters on us for the past two years,” Ejim said. “We’ve been there, but just being down with a whole new group of guys, we were able to show our resolve and come back.”

SECOND HALF SURGECyclones surpass 18 point deficit to beat Panthers in overtime

By Dean.Berhow-Goll@iowastatedaily.com

Riley Eveleth/Iowa State DailySenior Melvin Ejim flies down the court against Northern Iowa on Saturday at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Ejim scored 20 of his 22 points in the second half against the Panthers as Iowa State erased its 18 point deficit.

With 3:41 left in the second half, Iowa State had just jumped ahead to a 63-59 lead. UNI’s Chip Rank pulled up for a 3-pointer on the left wing and Georges Niang blocked him.

Then Niang corralled the rebound, stood on his tip-toes to avoid the out of bounds line and saw Melvin Ejim streaking towards the bucket and flung a one-handed pass to the other end of the court.

“I saw Melvin, AKA Usain Bolt, jet to the

basket. I figured I’d try my best Tom Brady impression and get him the ball,” Niang said.

Ejim jumped in front of Dustin Hogue and caught it before laying it in and giving Iowa State a 65-59 lead.

“It was lovely,” Ejim said. “I took two steps and it was in. It was a heads-up play by Georges knowing that he was falling out of bounds to get it up ahead.”

Niang’s Tom Brady impression

Kelby Wingert/Iowa State DailyISU senior Hallie Christofferson attempts to score against Cal State Fullerton on Sunday, Dec. 8, in Hilton Coliseum. Christofferson scored 33 points in the Cyclone’s 79-52 win over the Titans.

Bill Fennelly took an opportunity to write his own headline Sunday.

The ISU women’s bas-ketball coach was quick to point out Cal-State Fullerton out-played and out-coached Iowa State in the first half of the Cyclones’ 79-52 win Sunday in Hilton Coliseum.

“Iowa State sleepwalks through first half, on fire in the second half,” Fennelly said of what his headline for the game would be.

A big part of Iowa State finding that fire on offense in the second half was be-cause of forward Hallie Christofferson. She record-ed a career-high 33 points in the Cyclones’ (8-0) win.

Fennelly saw Christofferson’s poise when things weren’t falling in fa-vor of Iowa State and will-ingness to not pass on the responsibility of being a go-to player for her team.

“If Hallie doesn’t do what Hallie does today, I don’t know that we lose, but it’s a different game,” Fennelly said. “But that’s what great players do. Great players pull their team to another level on any given night.”

After a first half where Iowa State was 0-for-9 from 3-point range and being outrebounded by the Titans (1-7) by a 23-19 margin, the

Cyclones decided to switch up defenses in the second half and play man-to-man. Without starter Brynn Williamson — she was out with a head injury sus-tained in practice — floor spacing proved to be an is-sue early on for the offense.

“We were just do-ing it to ourselves,” Christofferson said of the early struggles. “We know that we can play better and we’ve played better in the past. We just wanted to come out in the second half and we were lots more en-ergized and ready to go.”

Iowa State came out in the second half and went 7-of-9 from beyond the arc en route to the win. The team also talked about using ball screens differ-ently in the second half to get Christofferson the ball as well as get some easy jumpshots.

Fennelly said he felt

Cal-State Fullerton was very effective in the first half in taking away Christofferson’s ability to make cuts and move on offense, but better court spacing led to a differ-ent result on for Iowa State in the second half.

“The thing about Hallie is she’s hard to guard because she can do things in space,” Fennelly said. “She can go to the 3-point line, she can post up, she can come off a ball screen, she can come off a handoff and she doesn’t miss many free throws.”

With another career performance in the books for Christofferson, her pro-ductivity on the court isn’t shocking anyone anymore, including her teammates.

“It’s Hallie,” said point guard Nikki Moody. “I’m not surprised, but I expect it. I expect the best from her every game and that’s what she did.”

‘Iowa State sleepwalks through first half, on fire

in the second’By Dylan.Montz

@iowastatedaily.com

ISU coach Bill Fennelly took a moment in his post game news conference to recognize the fans after his team’s 79-52 win Sunday against Cal-State Fullerton.

Fennelly’s son, Steven Fennelly, is in his first year as an assistant coach with the Titans, and it was his first time being on the op-posite sideline of his dad as well as his brother, ISU assistant Billy Fennelly.

“I want to thank the fans for the very nice ovation they gave Steven when his name was announced,” Bill Fennelly said. “That’s something he’ll remember his entire life and certainly mom and dad will remember it too. It just shows amazing class and dignity and support that our fans give our program. But they know Steven is a Cyclone to the bone so on behalf of Deb and I, I want to thank everybody for that.”

When goalie Matt Cooper is away, goalie Scott Ismond comes to play.

With Cooper, who had started all but four games this year for the No. 6 Cyclones (21-5-2, 8-2-0 CSCHL), was off play-ing in the Winter World University Games in Trentino, Italy, Ismond got the nod to start the two-game series against No. 14 Lindenwood University (6-12-2, 4-4-2 CSCHL).

And following the series against Central State Collegiate Hockey League rival Lindenwood, where the Cyclones won both games 3-1, ISU coach Jason Fairman said Ismond was able to step up and fill the role.

“[Ismond] did very well,” Fairman said. “He was very clam back there, and he didn’t get rattled. So he had a fantastic series this weekend.”

This series consisted of Ismond blocking 51 of 53 shots on goal.

The two goals that he did surrender to the Lions he said he credits to a break down in the

Cyclones defensive zone.“I think was just a lit-

tle defensive breakdown in our zone,” Ismond said. “With both of those goals, the guy got the puck in slot, which is a high scor-ing area.”

With the two games against Lions under his belt Ismond has started six games this season.

When he has been on the ice he has been effective.

In his 408.48 minutes

of playing time this year, his goals-against average is below two, and he has .931 save percentage.

Even though he knew he was going to suit up as a starter, Ismond said he prepared for the se-

ries against Lindenwood University just like he does every game.

“This whole year I just put my head down and keep my tail up,” Ismond said. “I’m just trying to work hard in practice. I

know this was date on the calendar I had circle as an opportunity to get in, but it’s the guys in front that kept everything simple and made it easy for me.”

But defensemen Alex Stephens said it makes it easier on him when Ismond is in front of the net.

“Izzy was awesome,” Stephens said. “It is kind of cliché to say, but I do think we have two great goalten-ders. One just happens to be a backup. As a D-man, it’s nice to know I have that last line defense.”

Cooper may be the starting goalie for the Cyclones, but Fairman said Ismond brings just as much to the team.

“No question,” Fairman said. “If we have either of those guys [Ismond and Cooper] playing, we have a chance to win the game.”

MINNEAPOLIS — After a promis-ing start to the NCAA tournament, Iowa State saw its season come to an end after Colorado dominated the final three sets of the match.

The Cyclones (18-10, 11-5 Big 12) were defeated 3-1 by the Buffaloes (18-13, 9-11 Pac 12) in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

“I think we were passing well, we were in a nice rhythm, we were keeping the ball in play,” said ISU head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch of the first set. “I thought Colorado looked off; they looked how we looked the rest of the time. They were mak-ing a lot of hitting errors, hitting the ball into the net and out of bounds.”

After early success in the match, Iowa State looked poised to advance to the sec-ond round of the NCAA tournament for the third year in a row.

The Cyclones did not trail at any point in the first set and kept Colorado to a .000 hitting percentage en route to a 25-17 first-set win.

Colorado posed a tougher challenge in the second set. The Buffaloes jumped out to a 17-8 lead and never trailed during the set.

Middle blocker Natalie Vondrak and defensive specialist Taylor Goetz, who did not play in the first set, entered the game to try to provide a spark for the Cyclones, though Iowa State would eventually fall 25-16, tying the match 1-1.

Vondrak received additional playing time, in part, due to starting outside hit-ter Victoria Hurtt being ruled out for the match due to illness.

“We really felt at a certain point we were going to need [Vondrak] and certainly without Hurtt this weekend, we knew were going to need her on the left side,” said Johnson-Lynch.

Goetz subbed in for Jenelle Hudson throughout the final three sets and record-ed four digs and an ace in the match.

In the third set, the Buffaloes picked up where they left off, jumping out to an 11-5 lead that propelled them to a 25-19 win to go up 2-1 on the match.

With their season on the line, the Cyclones were on the ropes once again for the duration of the fourth set. Down 17-9,

Iowa State was able to claw back to with-in two at 20-18, but saw its season-saving comeback fall short, losing 25-18.

Senior libero and captain Kristen Hahn reminded her teammates that Colorado would come out with a response after a lackluster start by the Buffaloes.

“I told them, ‘Be ready for them to be more composed, to come full attack,” Hahn said. “I think Colorado did a great job serving and receiving. They just kept the ball in play and I think we got a little timid and that affected us. No matter how hard we try to push and drive, Colorado just had an answer.”

Iowa State’s loss to Colorado was the

team’s third loss in a row, and fourth out of five matches.

Despite a tough closing stretch, Johnson-Lynch remained optimistic about the season.

“I think to get back to this point [the NCAA tournament] was a good achieve-ment,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We had a lot of new people out there on the floor to-night and players that had never been in this environment before.”

The match also served as a learning experience for the team’s younger play-ers, including redshirt freshman Morgan Kuhrt, who has earned additional playing time in substituting for starting outside hit-

ter Ciara Capezio.“I’d be lying if I said there weren’t any

nerves — there were,” Kuhrt said of her first NCAA tournament match. “Last year, red-shirting gave me experience but not the ex-perience to actually go out there and play.”

Hahn expressed disappointment in how Iowa State’s season came to a quick finish, but said she was thankful for her ca-reer as a Cyclone.

“I would not be the person I am today without my coaches and teammates and these experiences,” Hahn said, fighting back tears. “I’m just trying to celebrate all the things I’m going to take away from this program.”

In the 2012-13 season Scott Ismond played in 20 games, 19 of which he started, and had a goals-against average of 2.59 and a .919 save percentage in 1179.27 minutes.

ISU falls to Colorado in NCAA tournament

Ismond steps up as goalie in series against LindenwoodBy Will.Musgrove

The ISU track and field teams got their first taste of ac-tion this weekend as they hosted the Holiday Classic. The event was the only meet before winter break, with the team’s next action not coming until January 18.

With the event being so much earlier than the rest of the season, the Cyclones focused on getting back into the groove of things instead of scores and times.

“There is always good and bad in any track meet with so much going on, but mostly positive today,” said ISU as-sistant coach Andrea Grove-McDonough. “I thought people showed some heart in the races and that’s what we want to see at this time of the year.”

The relaxed atmosphere allowed the team to work on

technique and to ease back into competition mode after doing nothing but practices and work-outs up to this point.

“It’s an opportunity, after working since early September, to see the hard work we have put in and where we are at right now,” said ISU assistant coach Fletcher Brooks.

Finding out where the team is at now is vital. All the time in between the first and second meet of the season will be used to continue training and working on specific technique things that the coaches noticed in the first meet.

“The technical mistakes that we have been working on getting rid of in practice tend to show up in the early meets,” Brooks said. “As much as anything [the meet] reveals what still needs to be worked on.”

Kelly McCoy, who won the women’s high jump event, said that the team will continue to

improve as they get a chance to work on their technique and con-tinue hitting the weights.

“We have only had a couple technique practices so far, so I’m looking forward to getting more technique days in and continue to work in the weight room be-cause that will really help us,” said McCoy.

The month break allows plenty of time to fix any tech-nique issues that need to be cor-rected, as well as another month of training before the indoor sea-son really begins to intensify.

Jan Jeuschede, who won the men’s shot put event, noted that the opening meet can be difficult, because the team is still in the process of training for the season.

“I wasn’t satisfied at all with my throws,” said Jeuschede. “We are still training hard for the sea-son and my technique was off, so there is plenty to work on.”

While the team was happy

with 11 first place finishes in the meet, they know they have plenty to work on before the Big Four

duals on January 18.“Overall, I thought it was a sol-

id start,” said Grove-McDonough.

cal engineering and member of Theta Delta Chi, said this method is more fair, because “otherwise pow-er houses could choose to pair with other power hous-es, and dominate Greek Week and homecoming.”

Tim Goldrick, freshman in jour-nalism and mass c o m m u n i c a -tion and member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, wishes things would have stayed the same.

“It would have been nice to keep the same method for this year so it wouldn’t be so up-in-the-air and random,” Goldrick said. “It also would have been good to have been paired with bigger houses to have a better chance to win.”

On Sunday there was a “Pairing Selection Day.” Large and small fraternity co-chairs attended this event. The large fraternities were drawn out of a hat

to determine the order that they will draw the sorority’s names.

After this pro-cess, when all large chapters were paired, small fra-ternities went from largest to small-est and drew their pairings from a hat.

Once the pair-ings were deter-mined, the fraterni-ties serenaded their new sorority.

This new pair-ing system may also bring about some not-so-posi-tive changes.

“The nega-tive effects are that some houses may be paired together that may not par-ticularly get along, and problems may arise because you will always have long lasting rival-ries between hous-es,” Kiddoo said.

This change is expected to have new win-ners that aren’t as predictable.

“Now I think that the winners will be more evenly dispersed instead of the same houses dominating Greek

Week each year,” Kiddoo said. “You have more of a chance to be with a different partner. Before, there would be power houses that would tend to win it every year.”

During Greek Week, there are ac-tivities such as lip-syncing, softball, and karaoke. Some events score more points than other activities. Small

chapters want to be paired with big-ger chapters so that there is more di-versity within their pairings.

“When you’re with a bigger house, you have more chance of having people that are good in differ-ent areas,” Goldrick said. “Which is why the bigger pair-ings tend to always win.”
