Nearly 8,000 miles separate Uganda from Ames, but with the help of the Global Cafe, Uganda is closer than ever.

ISU Dining is sched­uled to open the Global Cafe Tuesday in Harl Commons in Curtiss Hall. The cafe is significant as the only cafe on campus from which students can receive a cup of coffee made with Ugandan beans.

“This will be the sixth type of coffee offered on campus,” said Brittney Rutherford, ISU Dining marketing coordinator. “It will be the first kiosk cafe with plenty of space for gathering.”

The College of Agriculture and Life Sci­ences, the Center for Sus­tainable Rural Livelihoods, Volunteer Efforts in Devel­opment Cooperation and Makerere University ser­

vice students work with the people of Uganda on agri­culture, education, energy and micro financing.

“The partnership start­ed when one of our alums came to us and said … we want Iowa State to go find a place in the world that could use our help … be successful and a place where Iowa State could work and make a contribu­tion,” said David Acker, as­sociate dean of academic and global programs in the College of Agriculture.

The college leads the partnership with Uganda on behalf of the university, but nearly all colleges on

campus have contributed to the program as well.

“If there is one thing we have learned from working in Uganda, it is that you can’t just fix one thing,” Acker said. “You can’t go in and say, ‘OK, if we fix ag­riculture, everything will be fine,’ but agriculture is connected to the economy, nutrition, schools and ev­erything else.”

Fifty percent of the profit made by the Global Cafe will go directly to the Center of Sustainable Rural Livelihoods, which is a pro­gram helping farmers and

A new bar, called Blue Owl Bar, has joined Welch Avenue in the building where the restaurant Golden Wok used to be.

Along with the new bar will be a breakfast diner called Dinky Diner. Michael Roberts and Jason Crimmins, owners of Charlie Yoke’s, created the two new businesses.

“What’s unique about it is that it’s been Golden Wok for a long time,” Crimmins said. “I don’t believe a lot of people have been in the building. I kind of think of it as kind of a hidden gem on Welch. It’s a nice space ... [and

with] the work we’ve done, we’ve made it nice — it’s a clean, com­fortable environment.”

The pair hopes to create a more relaxed atmosphere for college students in contrast with the lively atmosphere of Charlie Yoke’s.

“We’ve had Charlie Yoke’s for a little over a year, and that’s a good­time party — kind of a crazy party,” Crimmins said. “[At Blue Owl] we’re looking for more

of a more relaxed [place to] come out with your buddies, your girl­friends, whatever … to Welch, and you have someplace qui­eter to hang out or to start your evening.”

This development is com­ing at an interesting time for Campustown, since the building Charlie Yoke’s currently occupies may be torn down in the near future by Kingland Systems to make room for office space.

The two owners are still in the process of finding Charlie Yoke’s a new home, Crimmins said, but they are excited about the new additions to Campustown.

“I’m all for revitaliza­tion to the Campustown area,” Roberts said. “The Blue Owl Bar will be a great addition to the Campustown area. It will be more of a chill­out bar that’s off the

ISU Global Programs has been ap­proved to establish an office in Uganda as a nongovernmental organization.

The Board of Regents unanimously, with the exception of absent Regent Ruth

Harkin, approved making the program in­dependent at its June 5 meeting.

“Registering as an independent entity would allow us to do research as Iowa State University,” said David Acker, associate dean of academic and global programs in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “We could operate our own education programs. We use [the] expertise of the university to help people in a rural part of Uganda.”

With Anne Kinzel’s recent announcement of her candidacy for the Ames City Council at-large seat, the position will now pit Kinzel against Amber Corrieri for the seat.

Kinzel announced her decision to run for the at-large City Council on last

Tuesday, while Corrieri announced her candidacy last spring.

Kinzel is one of the program coordinators for CenUSA Bioenergy at Iowa State’s Bioeconomy Institute, and Corrieri is the director of devel-opment at Mainstream Living.

Corrieri believes her past experiences working in the community is some-thing that will set her apart from her competitor.

“I guess that one thing that I think sets me apart from her and from a lot of people who want to run for City Council is that I do have relationships with a

broad cross section of the community,” Corrieri said.

“I feel like I’ve been able to build those rela-tionships through the vol-unteer work that I’ve done, through my job obviously.”

Kinzel highlights her passion for diversity and the quality of life as some of the things that would help her serve as a strong leader in the at-large position.

“I think that one of the things I can bring in is an appreciation for diver-sity, for quality of life as something that drives our economic growth,” Kinzel said.

Kinzel would like to see Ames continue to grow. As an at-large repre-sentative, one of the things Kinzel plans to advocate for is affordable housing in the Ames community.

“I’d like to be sure that there’s a strong voice on the council for affordable housing, young families, strong neighborhoods, that kind of thing,” Kinzel said.

Corrieri said she’d like to see continued develop-ment in Ames, as well as making sure the commu-nity is getting the resourc-es it needs to grow.

“Some of my areas, or I guess priority areas, are continued land develop-ment and housing, exam-

ining our social services ... making sure that we’re meeting the means of the community, and really just enhancing our quality of life here,” Corrieri said.

Both candidates agree that it is important for the community to get in-volved in the decisions the council makes.

“It’s a better commu-nity when both the gov-ernment and the citizens are involved with each other, and that way the decisions have a better chance of being good de-cisions for the vast major-ity of people.” Kinzel said.

“I want to see every-body at the table, I want to see students, I want to see families.”

City Council elections will take place on Nov. 5th from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Students can vote on cam-pus at the Union Drive Community Center.

Parks Library has changed its weekly hours for the new academic year. The library will remain open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, two hours later than they have been in previous years.

“The library hours has been a concern of students for many years now. There has been interest in having the hours extended,” said Olivia Madison, dean of the library.

Finals Week last spring was used as a “guinea pig” to test the idea of having later hours at the library.

“We did a pilot project in the two previous semes-ters where we extended our hours during Dead Week and finals and the numbers were significantly higher,” said Evan Anderson, the management librarian at Parks Library.

Madison said the cost of keeping the library open two hours later was a con-cern. This item has not been at the top of the list in regards to the library’s budget.

A portion of the Parks Library’s funding comes

from the general library funds.

The library has hired two full-time night posi-tions along with student proctors who will help monitor the library at night.

There is a library ad-visory committee that consists of faculty from each college on cam-pus and three student representatives.

“The student repre-sentatives have been great over the years,” Madison said. “They were never shy about giving their opin-ions, which is exactly what we need.”

Those three represen-tatives were also involved with arranging for the new library furniture that is in the front entry. The stu-dents stayed highly moti-vated on issues.

“I spoke to [the Government of the Student Body] and ended up having a really good conversation on the next item of interest, which is to extend library hours,” Madison said.

Originally the plan was to have the library open 24/7, however the li-brary committee felt that if it were open until 2 a.m.,

it would meet most of the needs.

Student voices were a huge impact on this project.

Anderson said the li-brary received a number of comments indicating that students wanted the li-brary to extend their hours.

“The students we worked with realized that they were really listened to,” Madison said.

Students have already

put the new library hours to use. This past week, li-brary officials estimate that about 45 students each night have made use of the new 2 a.m. closing time.

“My expectation is as the semester goes on and more and more people learn about it and get used to the idea that the library is open later, we will see an increase in traffic,” Anderson said.

2 run for at-large City Council positionAmber Corrieri, Anne Kinzel prepare for Nov. 5 elections

When both the government and the citizens are involved with each other ... the decisions have a better chance of being good decisions.”

Anne Kinzel, candidate for at-large City Council member

President Barack Obama spoke from the White House on Saturday to announce officially that while he has chosen to take limited action in re-sponse to a Syrian govern-ment chemical weapon attack in Damascus, he will wait for approval from Congress.

“After careful delib-eration, I have decided that the United States should take military action against Syrian regime tar-gets,” Obama said. “This would not be an open-ended intervention. We would not put boots on the ground.”

Obama said U.S. mili-tary action would be de-signed to limit the time there and influence. The United States’ capacity to execute his plan is not time-sensitive, but it is ready to go at any time.

“I will seek authori-zation for the use of force from the American peo-ple’s representatives in Congress,” Obama said.

Obama said he met earlier Saturday with four congressional lead-ers, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Speaker of the House John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who all agreed to schedule a de-bate and vote immediately after Congress is back in session on Sept. 9.

“While I believe I have the authority to carry out this military action with-

out specific congressio-nal authorization, I know that the country will be stronger if we take this course and our actions will be even more effective,” Obama said.

ISU political sci-ence professors, James McCormick and Richard Mansbach, both believed Congress would pass the resolution for presiden-tial military action against Syria.

McCormick sees Iowa’s senators, Chuck Grassley and Tom Harkin, as being difficult to predict for which side they will vote for.

He wrote in an email that both had voted against the resolution to use force in 1991, the first war against Iraq, and vot-ed for the Iraq resolution in 2002.

McCormick said he predicts Harkin will side with the “for” side and Grassley with the opposition.

Mansbach believes both senators will vote for the use of force unless they believe an attack would be a lose-lose situation.

“To wit, an air at-tack won’t change the outcome in Syria. If one is even modestly cynical one might conclude that Obama isn’t really in favor of ousting Assad because it would risk a jihadist regime….And a congres-sional vote affords some modest legitimacy for a president who has neither our closest ally Britain, NATO nor the U.N. pre-pared to act,” Mansbach said in an email.

Obama’s own cred-ibility has been called to question during this Syria conflict.

Some are stating, in-cluding McCormick and Mansbach, that Obama’s indecisiveness and failure to offer a clear plan for

Syria has hurt his cred-ibility on the national and international stage.

Congressional sup-port of the resolution for military action could re-store some credibility for the president. Ultimately, the regaining credibil-ity will be when Obama’s policy is carried out and whether the policy ac-tion has any tangible ef-fect in Syria or the region McCormick stated.

“I believe that the indecisiveness in handling this matter and then his change in course at the end of the past week surely hurt President Obama’s credibility.”

— James McCormick, professor of political science

“The conflict is a mess. U.S. interests are peripheral as long as the violence doesn’t spread. It would be nice to get rid of Assad [Syrian government] and thereby erode the position of Iran and Hezbollah in the region, but it would be catastrophic if a jihadi regime acquired toxic weapons and/or if the violence engulfed Israel and Iran.”

— Robert Mansbach, professor of political science

Jen Hao Wong/Iowa State DailyWith the constant coverage of war on television in recent history in the U.S., many Americans have become desensitized to the effects of war.

Since the introduction of the silver screen and even earlier, entertainment has always been

a healthy and much-needed supple-ment to the perpetual bustle of our daily lives.

A weekly trip to a movie theater or a family night gathered around the television for a favored show have proven to be effective methods of relaxing and temporarily forgetting about the stress of real life.

In the earlier days of enter-tainment, we would break up long work days with occasional games of solitaire or hectic weeks with family “game nights.”

However, entertainment today of-ten goes past the point of supplemen-tary and becomes an alternative to “real life.” Movies, TV shows and video games of late fit into the category of escapism — something used to avoid real life problems.

When our favorite shows were only seen as they aired each week, our “escapes” were short and extremely temporary. The pixelated graphics and corny story lines of video games’ ear-lier era didn’t virtually remove us from our living rooms as modern games do.

This escapism in video games was accompanied with the early cries of “video game addiction.” And there were, here and there, cases of young people so glued to their computer monitors that they deprived them-selves of food.

“World of Warcraft” — as the all-time most successful massively multiplayer online role playing game — provided an entire new world into which players lost themselves com-

pletely. With entire virtual continents and millions of fellow gamers, it was a seemingly endless outlet for people of all ages and locations. For many, “WoW” was not just an occasional distraction but an entire way of life.

Even single player games such as “Skyrim” or “Dark Souls” offer worlds more enormous than anything we could have imagined decades ago. Challenges such as area bosses or quest lines are surmountable through weapon upgrades or steady leveling, making them far preferable to real life obstacles such as homework, unem-ployment or relationship troubles.

Video games might be the most interactive forms of escapist enter-tainment but they definitely are not alone. When Netflix became available to stream from home televisions, “binge television” was born. Now, instead of sitting and watching one or two shows a night, individuals can consume an entire season or series in one sitting.

We sympathize with TV charac-ters who deal with their own life prob-lems, and we enjoy watching them perhaps because they aren’t issues that we personally need to solve. For once, we can sit back and let others do the work. Watching our favorite actors tackle challenge after challenge as we finish off yet another sleeve of Oreos can be ultimately satisfying. At times, it’s easier to hit the “play next episode” button than it is to take responsibility

for the stresses of life.So, who’s to blame here? Is it en-

tertainment itself and the technology that has brought it so far?

Hardly. Though vehement cries for the “dangers” of television and video games are often heard in the media, it is ultimately the responsibil-ity of consumers to prioritize their time.

It can be argued that “real” life is difficult. Whether the stress is re-lated to school, jobs, relationships or money, it can be too much at times. But our checking accounts won’t be replenished by bingeing through four seasons of “Breaking Bad.” Upper management won’t stop breathing down our necks because we spent a day as an unstoppable level 80 shadow priest.

These slothful activities can be a great way to unwind over the weekend or on vacation. But the entertainment is not the one to blame when we can’t seem to uproot ourselves from our oh-so-comfortable couches, it’s own lazy natures.

Escapism entertainment can be a dangerous outlet if we don’t learn to prioritize appropriately. But with the realization that problems are still out there waiting to be dealt with, it’s okay to kick back and make your way through Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black.” It’s just fine to log eight hours on “Killzone.” And no one’s stopping you from spending an afternoon wip-ing the floor with your opponents on “NBA 2K13.”

But the escape isn’t permanent — remember your responsibilities when you rejoin the “real world.”

Politics might not be dead in the United States, but they have cer-tainly been beaten into a coma

from which there appears no obvious sign of life.

If we are to look for the culprit for this crime against our nation, we need look no further than those who would be top suspects on any detective’s list: Those who would benefit the most. As it turns out, the ones who benefit the most from a total lack of politics in this country are also the ones who we think of as the faces of our politics: American “political” parties.

At this point, I should probably explain: Politics, as they have been defined since ancient Greece, refer to individuals acting in the world amongst each other. As Newton cor-rectly surmised about matter and energy, so will every political action have a reaction (albeit not necessarily equal or opposite).

Those actions and reactions, in order to have any significance, need a place in which they can be practiced and observed. In Greece, this was the Polis, the very heart of a city-state. In Rome, this was the Forum, where Senators spoke to one another and their public. In the U.S., our Polis, our Forum, is our government, consisting of the three branches we all (hope-fully) learned of in middle school.

In addition to a place in which to practice politics, politicians need the freedom to act as they see fit. By definition, if a person is restricted in

what they can say or do, their capacity for practicing politics is diminished.

In some cases, a restriction manifests as law or rules of behavior. For example, some legislators in the United States are prohibited by law from divulging certain information to the general public or to the media.

In other cases, a restriction manifests as an ideology, or a strict adherence to a predetermined set of values, judgments, and otherwise arbitrary ideas. An example of this is the Americans for Tax Reform’s Taxpayer Protection Pledge. In short, this pledge is signed by potential or current elected officials and states that they will not, under any circum-stances, vote to “raise taxes.”

That may seem fine, and even preferable to an electorate who de-sires, in general, to keep their money to themselves. The pledge does, how-ever, undeniably restrict the possible actions of our elected officials. It can be easy to say higher taxes are never what we want, but it becomes much harder to say, straight-faced, that higher taxes can never, ever be the best alternative.

Political parties likewise restrict the possible actions of the politi-cians that owe allegiance by setting a platform and punishing those that differ on significant or highly-viewed

subjects.Punishment for acting out of

turn may come as decreased party resources in the next election, less-than favorable committee assignment recommendations, or in other, far more obscure ways. In addition, pun-ishment might not come at all if the actions in question do not significant-ly affect the party’s agenda, or if the punishment itself would garner more attention than the voting discrepancy.

This allows for some wiggle room with our elected officials, although not much. According to OpenCongress.org, the average House Republican votes with his or her party more than 93 percent of the time, and the average Senate Democrat votes with his or her party more than 94 percent of the time.

Here in Iowa, our six members of Congress have an average votes-with-party rate of almost 93 percent.

Those statistics do not by them-selves tell us that Congress is currently an overly partisan institution, but they, along with the political rhetoric that we all hear day after day paint a surprisingly clear and ugly picture.

These belie the total disregard for politics found in American gov-ernment today. Instead, it appears the two biggest organizations in Washington D.C. have made a busi-ness of leading our nation, and that business will continue as usual so long as true politics are not awoken from their slumber.

American politics: Comatose but not deadBy Phil.Brown

@iowastatedaily.com

We all remember where we were the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when four airplanes went down, strategically killing 3,000 Americans and other global citizens. Much of Iowa State’s student body was still on the better half of a decade old but without a doubt the national sentiment was to go and find out who would commit such an atrocity and then go and imprison them, if not kill them.

Americans are now tired of war; as we approach the 12th anniversary to the attack on our soil, Americans have been largely separated from the battles our soldiers have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, including any conflict in other places of political and civil unrest.

Of course, we are aware of the war through what the media tells us and what our soldiers tell us when they come home, but largely, we are disconnected.

This disconnection easily widens when the citizens of our nation don’t need to worry about a draft via the se-lective service registration that all men ages 18 to 25 are required to sign. With plenty of brave men and women willing to volunteer their lives for the safety and freedom of the United States, most American citizens can have the luxury of not worrying whether or not they’re going to be bombed today or tomorrow.

War lingo — KIA, MIA, POW, death toll, casualties and injured — becomes unfortunate numbers on screens, letters on paper and conversations in coffee shops. After many exhausting years of conflict overseas, having seen or par-ticipated in none of it, Americans have become desensitized.

Syria has been in civil war since 2011 when President Bashar al-Assad ordered the quelling of protesters by use of deadly force. In July 2013, the United Nations reported that the Syrian death toll had surpassed 100,000 with over half of those being civilian. Again, these are just numbers to us — but that would be equivalent to leveling half of Des Moines.

With tensions and deaths ris-ing over the past two years, President Barack Obama said the line was just crossed when al-Assad dropped chemi-cal weapons on his own people, killing nearly 1,500 civilians.

Maybe justly so, many Americans are crying for Obama to not do anything with Syria — or at least wait for the United Nations to come to a collective decision.

Of course nobody wants war; Obama was elected in part to end war. But we can’t let our disconnection and desensitization effect our opinion of the moral implications of a leader commit-ting genocide through (the feared term) weapons of mass destruction.

Whether or not you have an opin-ion on America’s potential involvement with Syria, it looks as if our government is leaning toward us getting involved to some extent, pending congressional approval. As a nation, we have a respon-sibility to keep up with the world’s hap-penings. We can’t let the lack of a draft, the lack of media and political transpar-ency and excess nationalism desensitize us from the reality of the Syrian conflict and its relation to the United States and global interests.

Iowa State simply never found a way to finish.

That was the overriding thought by the Cyclones on Saturday after they lost to in-state rival Northern Iowa 28-20 to start the season. What Iowa State does next is simple.

“We find the safety on the gun that shot our foot off,” said ISU running back Jeff Woody. “We made a lot of mistakes to ourselves. We missed tackles all over the place. That’s something that we will get corrected.

“Offensively, we just need to finish. We left 20 points out on the board.”

UNI running back David Johnson made the lack of finish-ing tackles evident, breaking free on a 37-yard run in the first quar-ter to put the Panthers on the board first. Johnson also broke free on a 27-yard run in the sec-ond quarter.

Iowa State was never able to

find a way to contain the UNI ju-nior as he carried the ball 23 times for 199 yards and two touch-downs on the ground. Johnson also had four receptions for 41 yards and the Panthers’ other two scores through the air.

“He had a great night, and he’s a great player. He’s a Big 12-talented back; there’s no ques-tion about that,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “He bounced to where holes were, and a lot of times those holes were where our guys were supposed to be — and they weren’t.”

ISU quarterback Sam Richardson put the Cyclones on the board in the first quarter when he connected with Justin Coleman in the middle of the field for a 59-yard touchdown. Iowa State trailed 21-14 at halftime.

The Cyclones, though, never found a way to capitalize on oth-er opportunities.

Kicker Edwin Arceo missed field goals from 48 and 54 yards in the first half.

In the second half, the

Cyclones twice settled for Cole Netten field goals — once when the ISU offense stalled at the UNI five and another time following a fumble recovery at the UNI 20 — leaving points on the field.

“I feel like we have to do a better job on first and second down to put yourself in position to get first downs and keep mov-ing the ball,” Coleman said, of ways Iowa State can fix its sea-son-opening problems. “We can’t be kicking field goals and being third and long a lot.”

Had Iowa State pushed the ball into the end zone instead of settling for a field after recovering a UNI fumble in the third quarter, it would have taken a 24-20 lead.

“It would have been nice to get a touchdown to really take momentum,” said defensive back Deon Broomfield, who recovered two fumbles in the loss. “Anytime you get a turnover like that you want to capitalize off it, and we just didn’t capitalize off it.”

Instead, Northern Iowa held onto the lead and extended it to

eight with a Johnson touchdown in the fourth quarter. Johnson fumbled at the 1-yard line going into the end zone with 1:44 to play, giving the Cyclones one fi-nal opportunity.

That drive stalled after Iowa State gained 18 yards, leaving the Cyclones wondering what could have been had they finished.

“You can’t base your living off ifs and buts, but we need to fix the mistakes that caused those

issues,” Woody said. “Once that happens, we’ll be fine.”

Iowa State has a bye before facing in-state rival Iowa on Sept. 14 at Jack Trice Stadium. The Cyclones have won that matchup the last two seasons.

“Every game is extremely important,” Rhoads. “Right now we’re one in the hole and we’ll worry about the next one and try to get a victory in it.”

Iowa State unable ‘to finish’ in season-opening loss to UNIBy Alex.Halsted

@iowastatedaily.com

Slow offense against Minnesota stems from lack of ‘luck’

The heart of the ISU offensive line took a hit Saturday when center Tom Farniok left the game in the Cyclones’ 28-20 loss to Northern Iowa.

The redshirt junior, who has started 27 consecutive games on the offensive line, was aided off the field early in the second quarter after what was later determined to be an MCL strain.

Farniok was later taken out of the stadium on a cart and did not return to the game, being replaced by Jamison Lalk.

ISU coach Paul Rhoads said the next couple weeks will be “just a matter of rest” for Farniok, but he will be doubtful to return for the Cyclones’ game against in-state rival Iowa on Sept. 14.

“[We’re] looking more for a return for con-ference play. That would be conservative,” Rhoads said in the Big 12 teleconference Monday. “There’s a possibility he might be back for the Tulsa game, but I think he’s probably doubtful for the Iowa game.”

— Dylan Montz, Daily staff writer

Tom Farniok ‘doubtful’ against Iowa

Nine shots were not enough to pro-duce a goal for the ISU soccer team.

Iowa State came up short Sunday against Minnesota, losing 1-0. Despite the score, chances were abundant for both squads.

The nine shots the Cyclones were able to get off were three less than the Golden Gophers produced. While Iowa State only put three of its nine shots on goal, Minnesota was able to put six of its 12 shots on net.

ISU coach Wendy Dillinger said the lack of offensive production against the Golden Gophers came down to one thing: luck.

“I just think we need a little luck,” Dillinger said. “We had chances where we were in the right spot at the right time, but we just didn’t put it away.”

The lone goal came in the first half after a Minnesota corner kick deflected off an ISU defender and slipped past the reach of goalkeeper Maddie Jobe. Despite the setback, the defense remained poised as it thwarted off the Golden Gophers at-tack throughout the second half.

“Defensively, I thought we did really

well. We were matching up perfectly, but it was just an unfortunate goal,” said mid-fielder Alyssa Williamson.

“I love the girls that we are working with. We’re working well together, under-standing each other’s tendencies with shifting and moving as a group.

“We’re being steady with our job. We know as long as they are getting chances and we aren’t letting them get the ball in the net, we have a chance at least. If they don’t score, we can’t lose,” Williamson said.

Iowa State was also plagued by the whistle and the flags.

Forward Jennifer Dominguez was given a yellow card in the 80th minute, just 30 minutes after defender Kourtney Camy was given two yellow cards within a min-ute, resulting in a red card and automatic ejection.

Aside from fouls, Iowa State was also caught offside five times during the match, several of which came in the second half while the team was down 1-0.

“We started to see more [offsides] in the second half. We were trying to get that goal back, and we were looking to get in behind them, but there was a tough space behind them, so we started to get a little impatient,” Dillinger said.

“Our forwards just need to do a little

better job timing their runs, and that was the game plan later in the game.”

The ISU women’s soccer team will at-tempt to reverse its fortune and get back

on the winning side Friday in a Cy-Hawk matchup when it faces in-state rival Iowa in Iowa City.

Many have seen “The Devil Wears Prada” and heard hundreds of intern horror stories; fashion in-dustry intern myths can discourage even the most driven fashion or journalism students from apply-ing for a life-changing experience.

The global fashion industry is worth more than $450 billion, but it is still relatively new and can be largely misunderstood by someone on the outside looking in.

One myth many are faced with is that big named companies don’t take interns from small Midwest universities; several ISU students proved this to be untrue.

Last spring, students all across campus — both men and women — applied for summer intern-ships that took them all over the United States, as well as abroad to places such as Ghana, China and England.

Shannon Bauer, senior in creative apparel design, interned for Marie Claire magazine in the fashion closet. She said she believes internships are given to the person that shows passion and persistence.

“I sent two emails to the fashion assistant who was in charge of hiring interns,” Bauer said. “She emailed me back after the second email, and we set up a time for a phone interview.”

The phone interview was short. Bauer sent a thank-you email and, a week later, another follow-up email.

“Following up was crucial to getting this in-ternship,” Bauer said. “I needed an internship for

this summer and when this opportunity presented itself I did everything I could to make sure Marie Claire was where I completed the experience.”

ISU graduate Kayla Clawson interned for Kleinfeld Bridal but originally wasn’t sure she would even receive an interview.

“Kleinfeld Bridal is a pretty well-known com-pany because of the TV show ‘Say Yes to the Dress,’” Clawson said. “After doing some research and read-ing blogs and articles from people that have done the internship, I knew it would be a great fit for me.”

Many believe a job as a fashion intern consists of only running errands and getting coffee, but it can be much more than that.

Jordan Callahan, senior in creative apparel design, interned at Nanette Lepore in New York City. Nanette Lepore is smaller than some brands, so interns work on a lot of hands-on projects.

Callahan was given a lot of different responsi-bilities such as sourcing fabrics, trims and beads for samples from local shops in the garment district.

“Myself and other interns were in charge of cat-aloging and organizing Nanette’s vintage archive,” said Callahan. “My biggest project was creating a textile print repeat design in Photoshop for an upcoming line.”

Depending on the internship, the first day on the job can be stressful or very laid back. Callahan’s first day was more of a laid-back feel.

“I arrived at my internship way too early and waited for what seemed like forever,” Callahan said. “I was introduced to the other interns, with whom I quickly bonded.”

Callahan only had one errand that day, but when Nanette needed an intern in her office to

remove the trim off of a dress, Callahan was the only one available.

“She handed me the seam ripper and said: ‘Don’t ruin the fabric’,” Callahan said. “I was so ner-vous that it took me way longer than it should have, but I didn’t want to mess up.”

Starting her internship at Marie Claire the day after a photo shoot, Bauer was put to work on her first day.

“We spent the next 12 hours organizing and returning garments from the shoot,” Bauer said. “There is no such thing as 9-5 in the fashion industry.”

Bauer believes one of the most difficult aspects of her internship was learning to prioritize. She ex-plained that many editors will give interns a long list of things to accomplish and expect them to be done as quickly and efficiently as possible.

“It is up to the intern to figure out what is most important to do first and get everything done to the highest possible standard in the shortest amount of time,” Bauer said. “A fashion magazine is a high stress environment and navigating the different personalities and expectations is not always easy.”

No matter the workload or the internship, all three women had similar advice for students applying.

“Enjoy your time at your internship,” Callahan said. “Never take an opportunity for granted — you are going to miss it when it’s over. So disregard the myths, be persistent, make yourself stand out in positive ways, network as much as you can and the last, and possibly the most important piece of ad-vice, don’t wear heels as an intern,” Callahan said. “Your feet will never look the same again.”

Finding a balance between style and comfort is criti-cal on a large college campus — you want to be comfort-able heading to your 8 a.m. lecture hall. The key to success is the right pair of shoes; here are the top five pairs that boast style and comfort.

Sperry Top Siders: Not just for boats anymore, Sperry shoes can be seen all across Iowa State’s campus. Why? They look great and you’ll never have a more comfortable walk to class. For ex-ample, the Women’s Authentic Original shoe has “shock absorbing EVA heel cup for added

comfort,” according to the Sperry website. This heel has a foam layer that will comfort each step taken across cen-tral campus. Not to mention, Sperry shoes look great and the boat shoe may help bring a little summer into the fall semester.

Keds: A classic: There is a pair of Keds to match every outfit. Keds currently have lines from Kate Spade New York and Taylor Swift, as well as a Comfort Collection and a Fall Collection. According to the Keds website, the Champion Classic shoe has a “cushioned insole,” “soft

breathable lining” and “flexible, textured rubber outsole.” Whether you’re feeling stripes, polka dots, laces or lace-less shoes, Keds has an option for you.

Toms: Toms are a comfortable, lightweight shoe good for casual walks to class. According to the company’s website, Toms shoes have a suede insole with cushion for comfort, a latex arch to add support, a one-piece outsole for flexibility and durability and an elastic V-shape to make

taking the shoe on and off easier. Not feeling the classic canvas? Toms also has crochet or glitter shoes to spice up any outfit and are available in many colors and prints.

Lucky Brand Emmie ballet flats: Flats can dress up any outfit, and Lucky Brand flats hold a sim-ple, classic comfort and style. Specifically, the Lucky Brand Emmie ballet flats have a stretchy back and a rubber heal to cushion your step. The Lucky Brand website says “Comfortable

and easy, our Emmie ballet flats combine a vintage vibe with timeless design for truly creative casual.” The Emmie ballet flats come in many different colors and prints.

Your favorite sandal: It might be September al-ready, but if it’s still warm, why not rock your fa-

vorite gladiator sandal? The key is to make sure the shoe is comfortable when walk-ing long distances, and able to move quickly in when you have ten minutes to make it across campus.

Welch Avenue scene.”The co-owners put

the bar together on short notice after learning the Golden Wok space would be available for lease. Crimmins said it took about 10 days to get the bar up and running, but there’s still work to be done.

“We’re about 90 per-cent done,” Crimmins said.

The ongoing renova-tions will be completely finished by Sept. 15, the weekend of the Iowa-Iowa State football game.

In addition to put-ting finishing touches to the building, Crimmins and Roberts will be play-ing around with different specialties such as a wine night or martini night, and putting together a drink menu.

“I like to think of it as a bar with a drink menu,” Crimmins said.

The name Blue Owl Bar is loosely based on an

old social club called the Mysterious Order of the Night Owls, or the Mono Clan. It was a club for young businessmen in the early 1900s in Ames.

“I just kind of like the imagery of the night owl — that’s kind of where it came from,” Crimmins said.

Either the Elks Club or the Moose Club eventually absorbed the club, because liquor was prohibited in the Mono Clan, Crimmins said.

Roberts and Crimmins hope both the restaurant and bar will be bringing something unique to Welch Avenue.

“I think both locations provide a missing service to the Campustown area,” Roberts said.

The co-owners have not officially decided the hours of Blue Owl, but the Dinky Diner will be open in the mornings as well as serving late night food Thursday through Saturday until 4 a.m.

is used to support children, preschoolers, primary school kids, scholarships for students to go to a university and support to farmers,” Acker said.

The commission raised will be given on an annual ba-sis, Acker said, not in just one specific area, but multiple areas to address the needs of Ugandans of all ages.

Dylan Clark, senior in global resources and environ-mental studies, has been to Uganda twice with the service learning program and worked directly with Ugandans.

“I’ve been able to interact with farmers and really de-velop an amount of respect for the work they do,” Clark said. “The pressure they have to feed their family from cul-tivating the soil and work long hours to do that ... they have hope and see progress for the future which is inspiring and motivates you to help them in any way.”

Students like Clark work to educate the Ugandans on how farming is the backbone to the economy.

“We work with a primary school garden program there, to encourage the students to see agriculture as a good thing to do,” Clark said. “Many see it as the lower tier of society and hope to become a doctor or lawyer but unfortunately they don’t have the opportunity to do that really to. They need to see the benefit of doing agricultural.”

Since 2006, The Service Learning and School Garden Program of Iowa State has partnered with Volunteer Efforts in Development Cooperation, a program that only works in Uganda. Working in the Kamuli District, the groups combined their efforts to help improve the liveli-hoods of rural families.

“That would include income, food, security, child survival, education and everything that it takes to create a stable and fulfill-ing life,” Acker said. “This is a very poor part of Uganda. We picked it because it had big challenges. We wanted to be able to work in a place where the needs were very great.”

Before becoming a separate establishment, Iowa State had to work en-tirely through the Volunteer Efforts program because Iowa State was not permit-ted to operate as Iowa State.

“What we want to be able to do is continue to be able to work with that part-ner,” Acker said. “But we want to be able to establish ourselves in Uganda as a nongovernmental organi-zation, so we can operate independently.”

Talk of indepen-dent registration began in 2010. Acker said he and other faculty did research throughout 2011 and 2012 to determine the Ugandan requirements and Board of Regents requirements in order to proceed to re-questing registration.

“When we presented the recommendation to the Board of Regents, we had really done our home-work,” Acker said. “We knew legal aspects, finan-cial aspects, the risks, the rewards. It took a lot of time for people to figure out how to do this.”

Since approval, Acker said the group has collected documents and hopes that in a month or so, they can submit an application to the NGO board in Uganda.

“They’ll review [the ap-plication] and see that Iowa State has been a good part-ner with VEDCO … and has a good reputation,” Acker said. “It’s very likely they’ll approve our application.”

Acker said if the appli-cation is submitted in the next month, it will probably take two or three months to hear back from the NGO board.

Funding for the proj-ect is primarily provided from alumni and ISU friend

donations.Each summer, the

program has taken under-graduate students from Iowa State to the Kamuli District for five weeks to conduct research projects, teach local primary school students, mostly ages 7 to 15, and work with Makerere University students.

ISU students, along with students from Makerere University, Ugan da’s largest university located in Kampala, form a team working with nu-trition education centers, rural development and student-chosen projects.

Examples of past proj-ects include bee produc-tion, water collection and the concept of live fencing where trees are planted close together to grow to-gether to keep cattle away from plants.

Students began getting involved in 2006 with six students from the College of Agriculture. Acker said interest is growing, with this past summer hav-ing about 13, including students from other ar-eas such as the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communications and the College of Engineering.

Students would teach a few lessons while in the gar-den, then go to the schools to teach and after lunch by the Nile River, would return to working in the gardens with students to learn and interact with them.

ISU President Steven Leath had the opportunity to visit the Ugandan site this summer to witness the students at work.

“It’s a great program. I was very impressed to see the program first hand. The student interest in global resource management, in-ternational agriculture and sustainable agriculture is as high as we’ve ever seen it,” Leath said. “It makes sense to push this program forward because there’s tre-mendous interest.”

Acker said the main focus for the program is to sit down and do strategic planning to be able to oper-ate independently.

“[Working] with the Makerere students and the children of the schools, I think [ISU] students find it very rewarding to build relationships with those students and transcend the cultural and socioeconom-ic gaps by understanding each other better,” Clark said. “There’s definitely a cultural exchange from both sides, which is really cool.”
