It wasn’t the opener they had hoped for, but the Cyclones got the result they wanted Saturday night with a 20-19 win over Northern Iowa.

While the win leaves Iowa State 1-0, it also leaves the team with plenty of work to do before the Iowa Hawkeyes come to town this Saturday.

“We’ve absorbed and learned a lot since Saturday night,” said coach Paul Rhoads. “Now it’s time to take that knowledge and improve our football team.”

The Cyclones squeaked by the No. 7 FCS team in the nation in the Panthers, as quarterback Steele Jantz had a lackluster first three quarters of the game.

The City College of San Francisco transfer entered the fourth quarter 12-of-25 for 74 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions. Northern Iowa also was ahead 13-7 after sus-taining a 22-play, 90-yard drive that ate up 10:26 of game time in the third

quarter.But in crunch time, Jantz got the

job done. He marched the Cyclones down the field, tossed a despera-tion touchdown to Josh Lenz, then rushed for a touchdown after an 80-yard touchdown pass from UNI quarterback Tirrell Rennie.

“It was fourth down, so it was do or die. I saw Josh and I gave him a shot and he made an amazing play,” Jantz said after the game. “I had too many nerves in the beginning. I need to settle down more. One thing I learned about our team [is] that they never give up.”

Jantz gave the fans what they came to see in the final quarter, pass-ing for 113 yards, the touchdown to Lenz, and seemed to shake off the self-described nerves when it came to crunch time.

“I wouldn’t say I shut my mind off, but as a team, as an offense we were just focused on executing,” Jantz said. “We were taking it one play at a time. We were able to get some momentum going.”

Rhoads, along with every player and coach that has addressed the

media following the game Saturday night, expressed that while they picked up the win, there’s plenty of work left to do.

Coaches and players studied film part of Sunday and found things they need to address before the Hawkeyes come to Ames.

“There was an overall lack of ex-ecution in the first game by our foot-ball team,” Rhoads said. “[Iowa has] played really well against us. I think we’ve gotten manhandled at the line of scrimmage in both [of the last two] years, and if we’re going to change the outcome, that’s where it’s going to start.”

Rhoads addressed both offen-sive and defensive lines, saying he believes players like Ethan Tuftee and Tom Farniok played well but that there’s “always room for improvement.”

As for the players, they know they’ve got their work cut out for them, and executing their game plan will be the key to having any kind of success against the Hawkeyes.

“It’s a black and blue, blue collar ... it’s a down and dirty game,” said

running back Jeff Woody. “There’s a game plan, there’s plays you need to execute exactly how you practice it and it’s not any different than any other game.

“Iowa is not a complex defense. We know exactly what they’re going to do. It’s just a matter of executing better than they do.”

Above all, every player and coach who talked did so about working on things that need to be fixed, and needing to do so to win more football games. What they will not be worried about is what trophy they’ll carry off the field on Saturday if they win.

“No,” Rhoads said about the tro-phy with a laugh. “I’d just like to take it home with me, that’s all.”

Addressing 1,500 rain-soaked tea partyers at a rally to restore America in Indianola, Iowa, on Saturday, Sarah Palin revealed her five-step plan to a better America but didn’t mention if she plans to joins the 2012 presidential race

“My plan is a bona fide pro-working man’s plan,”

NASAlaunchingmoonprobestomeasuregravityCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Four decades after landing men on the moon, NASA is returning to Earth’s orbiting companion, this time with a set of robotic twins that will measure lunar gravity while chasing one another in circles.By creating the most precise lunar gravity map ever, scientists hope to figure out what’s beneath the lunar surface, all the way to the core. The orbiting probes also will help pinpoint the best landing sites for future explorers, whether human or mechanical.Near-identical twins Grail-A and Grail-B — short for Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory — are due to blast off Thursday aboard an unmanned rocket.Although launched together, the two washing machine-size spacecraft will separate an hour into the flight and travel indepen-dently to the moon.It will be a long, roundabout trip — three to four months — because of the small Delta II rocket used to boost the space-craft. NASA’s Apollo astronauts used the mighty Saturn V rocket, which covered the approximately 240,000 miles to the moon in a mere three days.NASA’s Grail twins will travel more than 2 million miles to get to the moon under this slower but more economical plan.The mission, from start to finish, costs $496 million.The moon’s appeal is universal.“Nearly every human who’s every lived has looked up at the moon and admired it,” said Massachusetts Institute of Technology planetary scientist Maria Zuber, Grail’s principal investigator. “The moon has played a really central role in the human imagination and the human psyche.”Since the Space Age began in 1957, 109 missions have targeted the moon, 12 men have walked its surface during six landings, and 842 pounds of rock and soil have been brought back to Earth and are still being analyzed.Three spacecraft currently are orbiting the moon and making science observations. A plan to return astronauts to the moon was nixed in favor of an asteroid and Mars.

Palin said.She said her first step is to

enforce the 10th Amendment.Second, Palin said, is to

repeal “Obamacare,” “reign in burdensome regulations that are a boot on our neck” and let the private sector grow.

Palin said she wants to see unused stimulus funds canceled.

America needs to “have that come-to-Jesus moment, when we own up to our debt and have entitlement reform,” she said.

She said either the govern-ment needs to fix the capital markets or the world capital markets are going to “throw it down our throats.”

Palin said it must be done in a way that honors a com-mitment to the esteemed el-ders today, and said the elderly are entitled to their money because they’ve been putting their money into the govern-ment for years.

“For the president to say we may not be able to cut their checks, well, where did all their money go?” Palin asked.

Palin’s last concern

was for America to have robust and responsible domestic en-ergy production.

“Drill here. Drill now. Let the refineries and pipeline be built,” Palin said.

Palin said lawmakers need to stop kowtowing to foreign countries and dictators, ask-ing them to ramp up industry and production and promis-ing, “Oh, we’ll be your greatest customer.”

She said a hardcore, all-of-the-above energy policy will bring real job growth, and en-ergy and prosperity is the key to security.

A portion of her speech was spent criti- ciz-ing the Obama a d -

ministration.“They spend, they print,

they borrow, they spend more, then they stick us with the bill, then they pat their own backs and say they solved the debt crisis,” Palin said.

She referred to liberals as “crony capitalists” and said nothing is getting done because they have, “a lot of mouths to feed,” referring to lobbyists and special interest groups.

She said Obama wants to create jobs through solar pan-els and high-speed trains.

“All aboard Obama’s train to bankruptcy,” Palin said. “The only future Barack Obama is trying to save is his own re-election.”

Restoring America

“Al Gore’s liberal rain hasn’t run us away yet.”

Tea Party Charlie yelled the statement to the crowd before Palin took the stage.

Several radio per-sonalities made their

political posi-tions known

before Sarah Palin took

the stage.M o s t

discussed how to achieve a bal-a n c e d

budget and the threat of the liberal leftists. The speakers also repeated Barack Hussein Obama’s full name several times throughout the event.

Sam Clovis said the Senate should pass a balanced-budget amendment and send it to the states for ratification.

He added that in order for the economy to balance out, the United States would need to see at least a 5 percent in-crease in jobs, and it would still take eight years to balance out.

Tony Katz, a radio per-sonality out of California, dis-cussed ad campaigns aimed at the tea party.

He said maybe the reason companies such as Kraft and why Madison Avenue is tar-geting the tea party is because, “we’re the ones who have jobs.”

As for the Democrats, he said, “They will be crushed. They will be replaced in 2012.”

Political comedian Eric Golub also directed most of his comments toward leftists.

“Why [does] the left hate our guts? It’s because we’re alive and breathe air. That’s it,” Golub said.

Golub said his dad was a Holocaust survivor, which taught him that no hardship was too difficult to overcome.

Golub said he once strug-gled with is social studies, so he told his dad. His father re-plied, “Did the teacher try to shoot you?”

Ryan Rhodes, an ISU alum-nus and an Iowa tea party lead-er, was introduced as Iowa’s

version of Joe the plumber.“How do we negotiate with

someone who isn’t negotiating with us in good faith?” Rhodes said.

He said the left believes the right is a group of terrorists to

their agenda.“God forbid for someone

to make it ... Spread the wealth around to us ... That’s not the American dream,” Rhodes said, referring to the Obama administration.

On Monday, under a breezy picnic shelter sur-rounded by Malaysian flags, more than 100 ISU Malaysian students gathered at Brookside Park in Ames to celebrate the first New Merdeka-Raya. The event was highlighted by Malaysian cuisine, games, mingling and group photographs, but un-derneath all this, the day rep-resented much more.

Recently, a Chicago-based organization known as Education Malaysia, which oversees Malaysian students studying in the Midwest, de-cided to help the Association of Malaysian Students at ISU organize and carry out the first New Merdeka-Raya. The phrase “new Merdeka-Raya” has three separate meanings that made the event possible.

First, the word “new” is meant to draw in all new Malaysian students who are in their first year at Iowa State. Merdeka is the Malaysian word for indepen-dence; the country just cel-ebrated its 44th anniversary Wednesday. Finally, Raya, or Eid, refers to the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan that is celebrated by 60 percent of Malaysia’s citizens.

Together, all three of these words and their meanings coincide for the Association of Malaysian Students at ISU to set up a gathering to bring Malaysian students at Iowa State together.

“This is the first time we have gathered all three races of Malaysia,” said the event’s director Laila Ali, graduate student in human develop-ment and family studies. “In Malaysia there are Malay, Chinese and Indian popula-tions. But today we are all Malaysian.”

During colonization by the British, large amounts of Chinese and Indians were brought from the mainland to Malaysia to work and eventually became part of the Malaysian culture, despite their ethnic differences.

“All of the Indian, Malay, Chinese students have a close connection to their home culture, but they all celebrate together. All of us are united. We all consider ourselves

Malaysian,” said Malaysian student Ariff Muhamad, sophomore in aerospace engineering.

Muhamad explained how many of the Indian, Chinese and Malay students who come to Iowa State, despite all being from Malaysia, are usually drawn to only mingle with other Indian, Chinese and Malay students. However, the timing of the beginning of the school year,

Malaysian Independence Day and the end of Ramadan all culminated into the per-fect excuse to bring all three groups of students together to meet other Malaysian stu-dents, show their Malaysian pride and celebrate together.

“We are one Malaysia,” said Gordon Chua, AMSISU treasurer and senior in me-chanical engineering. “I am definitely looking forward to it next year.”

The future president of Iowa State and the future dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are expected to fulfill expectations and deliver excellence both in leadership and academics. The univer-sity’s prospective leaders hail from both coasts, and some from Big Ten and other Big 12 schools, in hopes of being a Cyclone.

The committee in search of the dean for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is actively searching. Last spring, it participated in two open forums in which faculty, staff, students and alumni were present to provide goals and issues to address and the characteristics they hoped to see in the future dean. After advertising in online and print media, nominations and ap-plications came flooding in. Out of 35 nominations, 25 ap-plications were sent in to Iowa State.

“The dean is responsible for recruiting, retaining, and advancing,” said Jonathan Wickert, dean of the College of Engineering. “[The dean] has to understand that the strength of the college comes from all aspects and programs. It is im-perative that the future dean brings together and builds up the diverse programs.”

Iowa State is one of the nation’s leading land-grant institutions, and in regards to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, with 7,400 students in 22 departments, it is the university’s largest college.

A clip of the expectations and qualifications determined by the dean search committee, according to the official job de-scription, reads, “Candidates are expected to have fiscal and administrative experience in a complex academic organiza-tion and the skill set necessary to be a strong and effective fundraiser on behalf of the college.”

Wickert added, “We have a strong pool of applicants. This position is desirable because the college is nationally known for its excellent programs. The top people have applied, and I am very excited by it.”

As for the presidential search, 30 applications have been received.

“We have a very strong diverse group,” said Labh Hira, dean of the College of Business. “Some are from Big Ten schools, others from Big 12. Applicants are coming from the East to West Coast for this position.”

There are three categories included in the search process: interviews, further discussion and no further consideration. The presidential committee, which was appointed by the Board of Regents, consists of 18 members. All committee members will attend and par-take in an open discussion af-ter all applications have been reviewed.

“The pool of presidential candidates is of very good quality,” Hira said. “I am look-ing forward to the committee discussions and to the hour-long open forum, which will be held on campus as the final decision-making draws near. Students, faculty, staff and alumni are encouraged to at-tend, and details about the forum will be announced in advance.”

ISU students commemorate common heritage

By David.Bartholomew @iowastatedaily.com

Editor: K. Warnock | news@iowastatedaily.com | 515.294.2003 Tuesday, September 6, 2011 | Iowa State Daily | NEWS | 5

The University of North Dakota has been at the center of a heated controversy lately over an issue with its mascot, the Fighting Sioux. Having had the name since 1930, there has been strong criticism of its representation and possible offensiveness to the American Indian community in the last several decades.

Finally in 2005, the quar-rel between those in favor and those against the Fighting Sioux mascot was brought to the national stage when the NCAA decided to impose sanctions on schools with trib-al mascots that were deemed “hostile and abusive.”

The university decided to counter the sanctions by con-sulting with the state’s attor-ney general, who eventually gave the go-ahead to sue the NCAA.

By October 2007, UND and the NCAA came to a settle-ment in which the university was given three years to gain the approval of the two main Sioux tribes in North Dakota of Standing Rock and Spirit Lake.

“The Spirit Lake commu-nity eventually gave permis-sion to the school to use the name and logo, but Standing Rock did not,” said University of North Dakota professor of Indian Studies Sebastian Braun.

Braun, who has covered the event very closely, went on to mention how many of

the American Indian students who attend the University of North Dakota have become increasingly frustrated with the mascot and want to see it removed.

“The passing of the law in-fringes on their right to a fair education and reinforces an unwanted stereotype, and the name [Fighting Sioux] gives people a chance to offend oth-ers,” Braun said.

Most recently, a group of six American Indian students filed a lawsuit against the uni-versity on these grounds.

As of today, the University of North Dakota still has the Fighting Sioux as its logo and nickname, and ef-forts to change the mascot have been further curtailed by a bill passed last March by the North Dakota state Legislature and signed into law by the governor effective-ly ordering the university to keep the Fighting Sioux nick-name and logo.

Piling onto the frustration, the NCAA officially began placing sanctions against the school on Aug. 15 that puts further financial strain on the University of North Dakota.

“The economic issue is up in the air,” said Christina Gish Hill, ISU assistant professor of anthropology. “It is going to cost UND quite a bit of money to get rid of the mascot; all the while, with the NCAA sanc-tions, UND cannot host post-season play, display the logo, and its bid to join the Big Sky Conference is in jeopardy. Economically speaking, it is going to be negative on both sides.”

To demonstrate its seri-ousness in ridding UND of its current mascot, the NCAA

also has pulled UND mer-chandise with the Fighting Sioux name and logo from its w e b -site.

Another issue sur-rounding the mascot change is the hockey arena that the university’s sev-en-time national champion men’s hockey team has played in since 2001.

The late multi-millionaire, casino kingpin and UND alumnus Ralph Engelstad donated $110 million to build the arena and stated that as a condition for UND to use it, the university must keep the Fighting Sioux name and logo.

In an effort to secure that condition, Engelstad had the arena brandished with more than 2,000 images of his be-loved school’s logo, includ-ing a 30-foot granite logo on the floor of the main con-course, the wood floors in the 20,000-square-foot weight room, every cubby and locker in the locker rooms and a gold-plated logo at the end of every row of seats.

Essentially, Engelstad made it nearly financially im-possible for the school to re-move the logo, despite NCAA regulations that the logo not be visible at all.

It should be mentioned that this mascot issue is not anything new to the NCAA. Beginning as early as the

1 9 8 0 s , many schools be-

gan to change their nick-names and logos before any NCAA sanctions were put in place.

For example, the College of William and Mary, whose nickname is The Tribe, re-cently changed its logo from two tribal feathers to a griffin in an effort to avoid any NCAA sanctions and not offend any Indian communities.

However, the most no-torious examples have to be the University of Illinois and Florida State University, both of which went in opposite di-rections of each other.

Looking first at the University of Illinois, known as The Fighting Illini, the logo and mascot for many years was Chief Illiniwek, who was

represented as an elder American Indian chief with a large feather headdress.

The logo and mascot drew deep criticism from many of the faculty as well as the American Indian community in Illinois, and Chief Illiniwek was finally retired in March 2007.

On the other side, Florida State University, the Seminoles, took a different ap-proach to the controversy over its mascot.

“Florida State made an agreement with the Seminole community to keep the mas-cot. They agreed on how it was presented ... it was a collabora-tive effort,” Hill said.

Now it is North Dakota’s turn.

Aside from one of the Sioux communities in North Dakota voting down the mascot, some

in the Sioux community have pointed out that despite some problems with the mascot, overall it is beneficial to the Sioux community and keeps its cause visible.

“I’ve seen editorials by Sioux people who do not want to change the mascot because it makes their community rec-ognizable. Without it, many people wouldn’t know that there is a Sioux community in North Dakota,” Hill said.

Within the coming months, North Dakota is going to have to make a decision.

The reconvening of the Legislature in the fall gives hope to mascot critics that the state will reverse its initial de-cision to keep the mascot, but it seems bleak during a legisla-tive session that is going to be dominated by debate over the fiscal crisis.

Apple

Sanctions

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco police officers helped Apple Inc. investiga-tors look for a missing iPhone prototype that was left in a city restaurant in July, the police chief said. This is the second time in two years the com-pany has lost an unreleased smartphone.

Police Chief Greg Suhr told the San Francisco Chronicle that four plainclothes officers accompanied two Apple inves-tigators who searched a San Francisco home for the iPhone prototype.

Apple employees who con-tacted the department asking for help finding a lost item con-ducted the house search after asking the resident’s permis-sion, and the officers did not enter the home, according to police.

Apple tracked the smart-phone to the home using GPS technology, but the gadget wasn’t found there, said Lt. Troy Dangerfield.

Apple officials have de-clined to comment on the case.

The company is reportedly planning to release a new ver-sion of its iPhone this fall.

The SF Weekly newspaper reported that Sergio Calderon, who lives in the home, said he believed all six people were police officers and would not have let the two investigators inside if he knew they worked for Apple.

Suhr said he didn’t know how the Apple employees presented themselves to Calderon.

“The reason we do civil standby is to make sure there isn’t a problem,” Suhr told the Chronicle. “Whatever con-versations the employees had with the resident, I can’t say.”

Suhr said it’s not uncom-mon for San Francisco po-lice officers to help private investigators.

There was no record of the officers’ involvement in the search because Apple did not want a lost property report created, which was within the company’s right, Suhr said.

Last week, two men were charged with misdemeanors for selling a lost Apple iPhone 4 they found in March 2010 in a Redwood City, Calif., bar. That phone was sold to the gadget blog Gizmodo.com for $5,000, prosecutors said.

Research

CHICAGO — A study of college students’ reactions to shootings on their Illinois campus gives fresh insight into how genes may influ-ence the psychological im-pact of traumatic events.

The researchers found that symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disor-der were more common in Northern Illinois students who had certain variations in a gene that regulates levels of serotonin, a brain chemical linked with mood.

The researchers say the results could lead to new treatments for PTSD, and also could help predict who will develop the condition.

Other variations in the same gene and in other genes have been linked with PTSD in previous research. But the new research was unique

because it involved 204 un-dergraduate women who by coincidence were taking part in a campus study that measured stress before the shootings on Feb. 14, 2008 — so before-and-after informa-tion was available.

The shootings occurred in a crowded lecture hall on the NIU campus in DeKalb, about 65 miles west of Chicago. A former NIU stu-dent opened fire, killing five and wounding about a dozen others before killing him-self. Most study participants were on campus at the time.

Overall symptoms simi-lar to PTSD were found in almost half the women in the weeks after the shootings, and in nearly all the partici-pants who were in the hall. These symptoms included flashbacks, nightmares and

extreme jumpiness.Information on stress

symptoms in the women that was gathered before the shoot-ings helped the researchers better assess what role their

genetic makeup might have played in how they reacted to the violence, said Dr. Kerry Ressler, the study’s author.

WikiLeaks’ power lacks responsibility

Editorial

The fiasco with WikiLeaks back in November 2010 led to an increased global discussion about open govern-ment. Recently WikiLeaks released 251,287 U.S. cables online. The bad part? All of the cables leaked were uncensored.

Newspapers who previously col-laborated with WikiLeaks on the publication of censored information have since decried the leak of new ca-bles. While one can argue either way about the transparency government owes to its citizens, there are clear dangers when organizations such as WikiLeaks allow exceptionally sensi-tive information to be accessed by anyone with a computer.

WikiLeaks deals in information; it deals in secrets. With great power, comes great responsibility.

WikiLeaks may hold that it has a public responsibility to report on gov-ernment operations. But WikiLeaks, and every other organization like it, also has the responsibility and obliga-tion to protect the anonymity of those that might come to harm if personal information is leaked.

Some leaked cables contain infor-mation regarding victims of sexual assaults, details of alleged war crimes, potentially identifying details about informants, and thousands of other cables with sensitive material.

For an operation like WikiLeaks to be effective, it must take care to protect the delicate relationship it holds with its informants as well as those that seek to publicize the infor-mation it gathers. Those who desire to provide information anonymously to WikiLeaks often do so with the understanding any personal details be sufficiently removed to protect involved individuals from injurious backlash.

News publications supporting WikiLeaks have done so with the understanding that some informa-tion will need to be censored and that WikiLeaks will maintain jour-nalistic integrity. This relationship crumbles when this trust is broken, when uncensored information surfaces through an insecure system. Informants may be more hesitant to come forward with information, and news sources are far less likely to support WikiLeaks.

Naturally, we tend to oppose cen-sorship. Knowledge and information are not something to be feared.

But a WikiLeaks that is self-cen-soring and takes seriously its role of publicizing information will do much more good than a WikiLeaks that publishes anything and everything it obtains. “Secret” information must be treated carefully and cautiously. Hopefully, in the future, WikiLeaks will take greater care to ensure the information it releases is free of iden-tifying phone numbers, locations or source names.

We are on a boat, and we have been at sea for a very long time. Some

passengers have passed away, oth-ers have boarded, and through the generations we’ve forgotten where it was we’re going. We’ve forgot-ten politics, the republic and our freedom. Along the way, we were hijacked by pirates who convinced us that surrender to private enter-prise would lead us home.

We were once in charge of the government, designed to be under our control, but now we are part of a corporate world that none of us can control. Once we had a tyrannical king to revolt against, now we have the invisible hand of market forces we cannot even locate, much less control.

With decisions such as Citizens United and their continu-al talk of the evil of all government, Republicans and corporation attack ads have commandeered our ship.

They have hijacked us in part through media. In policies that al-ways favor big business over pub-lic interests, corporations such as Clear Channel have consolidated the power of media sources like pirates hoarding booty. Clear Channel now controls Twentieth Century Fox, HarperCollins, The Wall Street Journal, with a self-serving voice in almost every form of media; from newspapers, to radio and television. You can be sure that for a $30 billion invest-ment, it and other corporations like it expect high returns.

As we sit in the hull of our ship,

we know something is wrong, but they have convinced us that it’s our ship that’s causing problems. Instead of steering, they have convinced us to follow. Instead of standing on deck where we can sail our vessel, we would rather wallow beneath the gallery. It’s corporate totalitarianism that plumes the sails.

They have made us niche consumers through their political and commercial manipulation. Corporations spend more than $421 billion a year in advertise-ments, while, according to an A.C. Nielson study, the average child will watch 20,000 ads a year. Between super PACs and private donations, big business has taken command of politics, allowing them to dictate the actions of our ship.

The business model of govern-ment locks the citizens in the hold of their own ship while it steers a course of endless profiteering for the captains of industry. Once an expression of civic participation for mutual benefit, citizenship re-quired activity on deck, diligence in the crow’s nest and examina-tion in the chart room.

But now, corporate interests

have transformed it into expres-sive consumption. Instead of elected officials, we are being captained by corporate moguls totally unaccountable to the public. When we raise our voice in protests, Republicans like State Sen. Shawn Hamerlinck tell us to “go home,” and we do! It’s the greatest hijacking of history.

Corporations are no longer content as fellow passengers. Through mutiny, they have become pirates. Their corporate speech overruling public interests is unprecedented in American history. Writing is public speech, speaking is public speech and they involve public concerns. In Citizens United, the five Republican-appointed Supreme Court Justices privileged the voice of a select and powerful few in their aims and tactics that keep the rest of us silent. Because they granted such power to corpora-tions, there is little hope for citizens to exercise their political rights on our own vessel.

It is the rights of citizens that need protection. Corporations do not need us to rush to their defense. Given corporate lobbying and advertisements, we are the ones in danger.

They have scammed us. We de-mand limitations on our govern-ment, which in principle and in fact puts limitation on ourselves. As Lincoln said, this is a govern-ment “of the people, by the people, for the people.” We opt out of our free speech, our right to congre-gate, our individuality and expres-

sion. Not only have we forgotten where it was we were sailing, we blindly accept the change in course; we are convinced it’s the ship, not the pirate crew, who enslaves us. Instead corporations have sacrificed our government to Fox News and “American Idol.”

Everyone loves a conspiracy theory involving the govern-ment, but what about corporate conspiracy? Why are they exempt from examination? Is it pos-sible that our government could actually be a good thing, the last protection for its citizens against a total corporate take over? What a conspiracy that would be: Corporations convincing us to de-stroy the tyrannical government for their own profiteering!

We once sailed this ship and understood where it was going. We had a government that we were part of. Our founders tried to warn us: Federalist 10 tried to state the dangers of private inter-ests in public affairs, but that story has been lost. Corporations mu-tinied and took the helm. None of us can control Exxon, T-Mobile or Clear Channel; none of us are part of these corporations like we are a part of our own government. And yet, we are the ones calling for the demolition of that government; because they have convinced us that our success depends upon their rule.

Stormy deals force state into dire straitsGovernment

Sarah Palin is still very much a tease. That’s one of the things I learned this weekend.

Or so you’d think, after her speech Saturday in Indianola. She spoke before a crowd of an es-timated 2,000 people at a Tea Party of America rally for 40 minutes. In doing so, she laid out a “five-step plan to a better America.” But aside from the perennial issue of whether she wants to be president or not, the ideas she proposed deserve comment.

Her plan consists of enforcing the 10th Amendment, which states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” How that enforcement is to be done is beyond me, unless she means that somehow she’ll compel people to give a damn and do things for themselves rather than rely on other people to do them.

The second point is to reduce regulations of private businesses, including repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. Don’t know what that is? If I’d called it “Obamacare” you’d probably get the idea. We need to repeal that piece of legislation, since it’s apparently throttling all private sector economic growth. Because, you know, trying to do a humanly decent thing and prevent giant insurance bureaucracies from taking advan-tage of elderly, sick people is less important than making more profits. So much for storing up your treasures in heaven.

Palin’s third point is to prioritize and cut spending, and cancel unused stimulus appro-priations. Maybe they should be canceled, if we were supposed to spend them already. But part of the stimulus was to spend money over a span

of years so we wouldn’t run out of money for those jobs within a year or two. Part of its aim was to create lasting growth in this country in industries we haven’t yet invested much. We certainly should re-evaluate the programs on which we spend our money, but we can’t just cut indiscriminately. Part of knowing what government shouldn’t do is knowing what it should do.

That includes honoring our commit-ments to the elderly, namely Social Security. But while I’d hate to think I’m robbing my grandparents, Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system that was never intended to replace private retirement accounts or give benefits to anywhere close to the number of elderly we support today.

Drilling for oil absolutely everywhere seems to be her fourth point. Granted, it wouldn’t hurt for us to produce more of our own energy. But there’s only so much crude oil within American territory, and only so much of it can be removed from the earth without damaging the environ-ment in which we live.

Whether we invest in alternative fuels or renewable energy sooner rather than later, there is only a finite amount of fossil fuels on this planet. Should we risk our unique landscapes simply to delay the progress that

will be inevitable on that front? I’ll let you open up a copy of “National Geographic” and let you decide after seeing its photographs yourself.

Last on her list is to eliminate corporate income taxes and “balance the loss of revenue by eliminating corporate welfare, bailouts, and tax loopholes.” Does that mean she’s conceding that cutting taxes leads to a loss of revenue? We’re in the middle of a serious cash flow prob-lem. Maybe we should leave taxes where they are and eliminate those benefits and loopholes.

Either way, her keenness on this point dem-onstrates what is probably the worst misun-derstanding of this country’s purpose. America - the Constitution - does not exist so people can profit without regulation. They can do that in any Hobbesian Leviathan state. What they can’t do there, though, is participate in politics and have a hand in guiding the ship of state as it navigates a treacherous world.

As we choose our next president, we should think about whether people and how they in-teract with one another is more important than the profits that can be made from their work. Are we interested in making a living, or are we interested in making a difference?

Since the field is far from solidified, we should take time to vet each candidate care-fully, slowly, over a period of many seasons. We should at least take as much time as it takes our annual corn and soybean crops to go from seed bags to grain towers as we search for the candidate who truly believes there is a time and place for everything, and that discretion is the better part of valor.

With the tablet market re-ally heating up in the tech world lately, they’ve got to

be the future of reader consumption. We know the iPad can play games, create or edit music and movies and surf the Web. And we know Amazon’s Kindle is one of the best e-readers to this date by offering a huge library of books at an affordable cost all with ease-of-use.

Just imagine not having to do price comparison, finding places to rent a book or wait in lines to be later ripped off by the phenomenon of textbook pricing.

I’m not saying the day is coming. I’m saying the day needs to come where we can have the ability to purchase fewer physical textbooks. Instead we would find a textbook and have it saved to our Kindle or iPad. Certainly, math and science books are still ones that would be favored as a physical book, and they are usually the most expensive.

But let’s not let that stop those textbook publishers from innovat-ing their teachings and pursuing the

tablet functionality by transforming the textbook into an interactive app.

Not an Apple or iPad fan? No worries, Amazon is currently in the process of making its very own tablet that will run on Android.

Once the actual device is bought and paid for, we certainly hope we will save money in the long run by reading our required textbooks on a tablet device.

Textbook suppliers and publish-ers certainly cannot get away with charging just a slight fraction less than their physical versions. I would say that no more than $50 for any textbook (other than maybe math or science) as a tablet or e-reader ver-sion would be suffice.

Recently, I purchased an online version of a book at the cost of $75. That is certainly ridiculous, but it was better than spending almost $200 for the physical version. Consumption of text and learning is going to happen more often on a tablet-like device,

and in return this should cut down the costs of purchasing our next needed textbooks.

Amazon just reported that this year it actually sold more copies of Kindle-version books. Pleasure read-ing is certainly fit for consumption on these devices, but will textbooks

make it? I hope they do, not only for our bank accounts, but also to have the opportunity to enhance our learning. These technologies can en-hance the way we learn and interact with the material.

The only problem is that the text-book publishers and even the stores

are on this realm of control and power, and neither want any change. Just look how long it took for renting textbooks to come to our bookstore after Chegg already had started the concept.

Our money should be spent more toward the quality of learning from the textbooks and less on the text-books themselves.

Sure, the future for fewer physi-cal textbooks looks dreary, but the advancements in this technology will enhance our ability to learn from the material created.

Textbooks don’t always have to come in the same form. They can be transformed into an interactive app, but only if the publisher sees app development important for its future. If a company doesn’t see the material becoming the interactive type, then I would highly suggest it move away from the physical format.

The 1960s. Just saying it brings about instant reactions, for few

decades in American history bring up such immediate emo-tions, whether they are good or bad.

The Space Race, Vietnam, the Civil Rights movement, hippies, Goldwater, rock ’n’ roll, Students for a Democratic Society; the ‘60s were a very turbulent time in our country’s history, and by far the most politically active.

For perhaps the first time in our history, the American people were actually informed and realized they had a voice when it came to the policy of this country. And at the epicenter was us: college students.

College students of the ’60s demanded that a war come to an end. Whether it be marching on campuses nationwide or even to the gates of the White House itself, the generation of college students in the late 1960s created public spaces everywhere in which political action was inevitable. The “New Left” was a force to be reckoned with in this country.

Since then, however, col-lege students have become less and less politically minded. The New Left of the ’60s gave rise to the College Republicans of the ’70s with Karl Rove lead-ing the charge. The political movement was to essentially undo that which was brought about in the ’60s. The College Republicans aided greatly in the election of Richard Nixon in 1968, and again in 1972.

Then along came the 1980s and the so-called Reagan Revolution. What did college students have to rebel against in the ’80s? There was no great war, no great struggle like pre-vious generations had and the market of mass entertainment was only just getting tapped. The rise of private economic enjoyment and the bourgeoisie lifestyle had suddenly become more important than fighting for justice and equality.

The 1990s were more or less a continuation of the eco-nomic happenings of the ’80s. Administrations changed, and we had a short conflict in Iraq, but otherwise peace had largely endured in America and most things stayed the same.

Then we move to the times we are currently experienc-

ing, which make me long for students that were as politi-cally active as those of the ’60s. I know I do not need to go through the myriad problems this country is facing, as they are on the news nightly. “I don’t have to tell you things are bad, everybody knows things are bad,” as Howard Beale would say.

And what is it that college students are choosing to do these days? Are we using the Free Speech Zone to express political action? Are we challenging the policies, both foreign and domestic, of this country? Are we demanding that the intertwining of corpo-rations and government cease? How about on a more local scale? What about the state of education in this state, and the complete lack of legislation to combat the huge problems we face?

The college students of the ’60s, whether or not you agree with their ideology, were put-ting their own interests aside for the greater good.

They saw the atrocities committed in Vietnam, the persisting racism and inequal-ity of minorities, and did something about it. The public concerns were more impor-tant than their own interests, the way political action is sup-posed to be.

I know what some of you may be thinking by now. “What about the tea party? They’re protesting policies of the government, and you don’t

Each year Labor Day comes and goes with-out any consequence

or intentional recognition. For many, Labor Day symbolizes the ceremonious exchange of white couture for a wardrobe laden with plaids and rustic fall colors. The holiday serves merely as a reminder, which prevents a most unfortunate fashion faux pas.

We as Americans have been acculturated in a climate of disconnect from the origins and roots of meaningful traditions like Labor Day. Admittedly, I have “observed” labor in ignorance my entire life, not realizing its deep-rooted history in American expansion. The evasive gap in time from the roots of Labor Day observance have ironi-cally privileged the privileged of today’s society, not the intended “working man.”

The beginnings of Labor Day observances arose in the tail end of the 19th century with a man named Peter J. McGuire, who was a co-founder of The American Federation of Labor and also the secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. It was reported he was one of the first people who proposed a bill that honored, “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.” Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, was the first celebration of Labor Day. Held in New York City in accordance with the planning of the Central Labor Union, it marked the expansion of the public recognition of the working class as the “working-men’s holiday” in America.

With the growth of labor organizations throughout America, it was celebrated in many industrial centers across the country by 1885. It was not until June 28, 1894, that Congress passed an act recognizing Labor Day as a national holiday on the first Monday of September each year. However this legislation was not as noble as one would think, it served as a political Band-Aid more than anything.

Arising for the drastic cuts in wages, the Pullman strike was a nationwide conflict between the labor unions and the railroad companies of America consisting of nearly

126,000 workers. After the rail companies began hiring replacement workers during lockouts, the labor unions grew angry and began rioting. Led by Eugene V. Debs, there were a reported 6,000 rail workers that participated in the uprising in Chicago. United States Marshals and some 12,000 United State Army troops were sent to break up the riots and killed 13 strikers and wounded 57.

The Pullman Strike of 1894 was the catalyzing force in passing the legislation. President Grover Cleveland wanted to appease the labor movement in fear of future civil unrest. After the riots, Debs was arrested and jailed. However, after his release in 1895, he became one of the leading socialist figures in America, running for presi-dent in 1900.

Now that we have a little more historical context through which we can reflect on the meaning of Labor Day, I can bet you are a little confused. America has tried so hard to leave us in the dark about the roots of Labor Day and its true meaning. Why are we not educated about the Pullman Strike and how labor unions played such a vital role?

It seems that political interests have played an active part of veiling the history. In my opinion, the people who currently benefit the most from Labor Day are the salaried employees who are integral parts of American bureaucracy — not the “work-

ingmen” it was supposed to celebrate.

We as members of the edu-cated and privileged elite have a paid holiday while hourly wageworkers are tied to their minimum wage jobs. A day’s wages for some is the differ-ence of making ends meet or not. For them, Labor Day is an untouchable luxury that many will never enjoy. So what started as a positive practice for members of unions who worked hard labor has evolved into one that benefits some of the bureaucrats who rally against the “workingman’s” right to unionize. Ironic? Yes.

So in the future as you sit in your lawn chairs, grill-ing and drinking your beer, remember the holiday came with the price of blood. It was the blood of unionized work-ers that created a proletariat uprising, the blood of Marxists laborers who fought for their rights. That, my friends, is American. Viva la revalucíon.

Remember origins, roots of unions in your celebration

give them any credit. What gives?”

Well, the very nature of the tea party seems to be at odds with the basic reason the students of the ’60s were demonstrat-ing. The main concern of the tea party is all about self-interest. Their express demands are to lower taxes and curb (or if your name is Rick Perry, eliminate) regulations in order for businesses to thrive.

Self-interest is not political. It is in fact the absence of politics. To be “political” in order to promote private agendas is not being political at all, it is merely a pseudo-form of political action.

So what is to be done about the lack of political action on college campus-es? Has the party culture of college so enveloped students that recovery is unlikely? Is college football more important than social justice? Do bars and clubs take priority over nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Whatever your cause may be, get political about it. This country was founded on the notion of citizens fighting for their rights, so why should it stop with you?

College students of the ’60s certainly knew how to be political and, after all, we are college students too, are we not?

Colts say Manning doubtful for opener

The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning’s consecutive games streak could be history by Sunday.Team officials said Monday the four-time league MVP has been told by doctors not to practice and he will be listed as doubtful for the season opener against Houston. He is still undergoing tests, but no additional surgery has been scheduled.“As a result of the most recent development the doctors have decided that Peyton will not practice,” said a Colts statement. “His participation therefore, in Sunday’s game versus Houston will likely be doubtful. We will update his playing status as required by NFL policy as the week goes on.”Manning started training camp on the physically unable to per-form list as he rehabilitated from neck surgery in May. He wasn’t activated until last Monday, when he returned to practice, albeit with limited work.When Manning experienced soreness in his back, team of-ficials originally thought it was simply part of the normal rehab process. But over the weekend, the statement said, doctors re-evaluated Manning and told him to stop working out.“At the conclusion of the diagnostic process, if there are any new developments in the prognosis which we outlined for Peyton at the start of training camp we will report them,” the team said.

The Associated Press

Patrick Neal was asked to fill some pretty big shoes Saturday night in Iowa State’s 20-19 season-opening victory against Northern Iowa.

The redshirt senior, who weighs in at 250 pounds at right defensive end, started at defen-sive tackle to shift Jake McDonough to nose guard in the absence of Stephen Ruempolhamer, who was recovering from surgery on his meniscus eight days before kickoff.

“I obviously wasn’t used to D-tackle,” Neal said. “It was my first time playing it since playing it my senior year of high school ball.”

Ruempolhamer, a se-nior co-captain and start-er at nose, saw limited action as a substitute for McDonough on Saturday in his attempt to return from surgery.

R u e m p o l h a m e r ’ s

struggles were coupled with the absence of second-string lineman Cleyon Laing, who did not suit up due to viola-tion of team rules, ISU coach Paul Rhoads said Saturday after the game.

For Neal, lining up in a different gap in a different position was an adjust-ment in and of itself.

“Everything happens a lot faster,” Neal said. “You’re dealing with big-ger guys in there since you’re not dealing with a tight end, you’re dealing with a tackle and a guard. So it’s just a lot more weight, it’s just a lot more physically draining.”

Even through his ad-justment was on the fly, Neal was still essential to the defensive line’s performance.

“Without him, we would have struggled as a defensive line,” Rhoads said of Neal. “We had to have him in there from a depth standpoint, from an experience standpoint.”

Overall, Neal played 61 snaps at the defensive line spot, which was roughly equivalent to the amount of snaps McDonough and left end Jacob Lattimer

played at their respective positions Saturday.

“He got pushed around a little bit for the most part,” Rhoads said of Neal. “He held his gap, he allowed us to play with a veteran group, which was much needed in this opener.”

On the new depth chart released Monday, Neal is listed as the starter at right end in place of Roosevelt Maggitt, who sustained a significant knee injury in the second quarter of Saturday’s win. An MRI is pending to de-termine the extent of the injury.

R u e m p o l h a m e r , though, is slated to start at nose for Saturday’s game against Iowa.

“He’s fine now, he’s doing a lot better,” Neal said of Ruempolhamer. “We expect him to be fully healthy this week.”

Woes at running back

The ISU running back corps was outshined by Steele Jantz’s scrambling on Saturday, as the quar-terback out-rushed the three running backs — Shontrelle Johnson, Jeff

Woody and James White — combined, 80-62.

While a majority of Jantz’s runs resulted from getting flushed out of the pocket by the UNI de-fense, the juco transfer had two more carries than the three backs combined.

“You’ve got to give credit to [Northern Iowa],” said running backs coach Kenith Pope. “I think they did a good job up front making it tough for our guys to find creases in the defense.”

Northern Iowa’s domi-nation in time of posses-sion, nearly 12 minutes more than Iowa State, was partly to blame for the running backs’ lack of carries.

“We got a good diver-sity of who was on the field at certain times,” Woody said. “If there wasn’t a 12-minute drive that went in the third quarter and we were forced to throw in the fourth, I think we probably would have had a few more carries.”

Even though Johnson got the majority of the car-ries with nine for 27 yards, White had the best perfor-

The annual Iowa-Iowa State football game has been one that be-gins and ends with the play of both teams’ offensive and defensive lines.

Unfortunately for the Cyclones, injuries are plaguing both units as they head into Saturday’s showdown.

ISU coach Paul Rhoads an-nounced Monday that junior defen-sive end Roosevelt Maggitt will not play Saturday and could be out for the entire season with a “significant knee injury.”

“We do not know the extent of the knee injury yet at this point, but he will not play this Saturday,” Rhoads said.

Maggitt went down after the first play of the second quarter of the Cyclones’ 20-19 victory over Northern Iowa, clutching his left knee, and wore a large brace at Sunday’s team dinner. He will have an MRI on the knee this week to confirm the extent of the injury.

Another knee injury hamper-ing the ISU front four on Saturday was that of senior defensive tackle Stephen Ruempolhamer, who had surgery on his meniscus just eight days prior to Saturday’s game. Ruempolhamer did not start and played sparingly Saturday.

“The doctors were confident he had an opportunity to be ready,” Rhoads said. “Courageously he tried, but he just wasn’t up to speed.”

On the other side of the ball, se-

nior left tackle Kelechi Osemele is nursing a sprained ankle, which kept him out at different points through-out training camp and Saturday’s game.

“It’s manageable, I can play through it,” Osemele said Sunday. “It’s not too bad, I can’t complain.”

Rhoads expects the 6-foot-6, 347-pound Osemele to not quite be back at 100 percent this week, but hopes that he’ll progress throughout the season.

“His ankles are ones that you can’t tell if they’re swollen or not [since] the guy is so big,” Rhoads said. “We have two more games, then an open date. I would not think he would spend the whole year limp-ing around on that.”

Morgan, Darks, Hicks, Laing available for Saturday

Redshirt freshman linebacker C.J. Morgan, who was ejected during the third quarter of Saturday’s game after an illegal hands to the face pen-alty, will be available for the entire game against Iowa.

Morgan recorded four tackles and one pass breakup before he was ejected.

A pair of missing offensive start-ers, senior wide receiver Darius Darks and senior offensive lineman Hayworth Hicks, and junior defen-sive lineman Cleyon Laing all will be back Saturday after not playing against Northern Iowa due to un-specified violations of team rules.

The Associated Press

Luckily for Steele Jantz, football games are only 60 minutes in length.

For the first 54:23 of Saturday’s season opener against Northern Iowa, Iowa State’s offense was stag-nant. Jantz completed only 13-of-31 passes for 91 yards and threw a trio of interceptions, two of which offensive coordinator Tom Herman said were “something you learn as a second-grader playing quarterback.” Jantz did pick up 55 yards on the ground and a touchdown to end the first half.

When the Cyclones got the ball back with 5:37 remaining on their own 39-yard line, Jantz showed a sense of urgency. After an incomple-tion on the first play, he found Aaron Horne for a 10-yard pickup, then completed a 25-yard pass to Josh Lenz. Finally, on fourth and 10, Jantz threw across his body on the run to a sliding Josh Lenz in the back corner of the end zone for a 26-yard touch-down that will likely go down as one of the most memorable moments of this young season.

ISU fans sensed a comeback.Jantz showcased his maneuver-

ability outside of the pocket, throw-ing on the run and picking up first downs with his feet.

So, with that, here are five obser-vations we made from Steele’s debut on Saturday.

He likes to make plays with his feet.

Jantz admitted he spent too much time outside of the pocket in postgame interviews, but aside from the three interceptions, he kept plays alive and kept the fourth-largest crowd in Jack Trice Stadium history on its toes.

He’s not afraid to stick his nose into the pile.

Rather than feed it to short-yardage back Jeff Woody, Jantz ran the ball six out of eight times when the Cyclones were in the red zone. That included two touchdowns from one yard out — one on the final play of the first half and the other to give the Cyclones a 20-19 lead with 40 seconds remaining.

He likes to play fast.The jet tempo the Cyclones

wanted to implement seems to fit Jantz well.

The quarterback was at his best in the final minutes when things were happening quickly. Focus on just the task at hand and the next play serve him and the offense well.

He must learn to check down to running backs or tight ends when under duress.

A designed shovel pass to Woody and a swing pass to Shontrelle Johnson were the only two comple-tions that Jantz made to running backs on Saturday, and tight end Reid Branderhorst had only two catches as well. To end the first half, Jantz threw the ball to the 6-foot-4, 242-pound Branderhorst five times, completing two and drawing pass interference penalties.

He needs more time to throw.Clearly Northern Iowa’s front

seven presented challenges for Iowa State’s offensive line in week one, and don’t expect the Cyclones’ next opponent to be any easier. Under de-fensive coordinator Norm Parker, the Iowa defense has year in and year out been one of the best in the Big Ten and in the last two seasons has stifled Herman’s offense.

In the last two seasons, the Iowa defense has forced eight intercep-tions by ISU quarterbacks and has allowed an average of only 289 yards per game, 155 of which were through the air. Jantz will need to establish an early rhythm for himself and for the offense if the Cyclones are to have any chance of snapping their three-game losing streak to the Hawkeyes.

Iowa has outscored Iowa State by a combined score of 42-3 in the first halves over the last two seasons, so a slow start could spell trouble for Jantz and Co.

If Jantz can play the way he did in the final 5:37, the Cyclones could have a chance in Saturday’s game. If he and the offense perform as they did for the first 54-plus minutes, Jack Trice Stadium will once again be a playground for the Hawkeyes.

In Minneapolis, Iowa State allowed its first goals of the season as well as suffered its first losses at the hands of No. 22 Milwaukee, 2-0, on Friday and Georgia, 2-0, on Sunday.

Despite being almost evenly matched with their opponents in all statistical categories, the Cyclones (3-2-1) did not come out with a sense of urgency to win.

Sophomore midfielder Emily Goldstein said one of the team’s focuses will be to come out and compete every time the Cyclones take the field.

“We just didn’t come out hard from the start,” Goldstein said. “We just kind of came out too relaxed and we didn’t play like we did last weekend against Washington. We weren’t win-ning the 50-50 balls and we weren’t moving the ball or playing our game. We had our chances, but we just weren’t able to finish them.”

The area of improvement for Iowa State this week will be putting pressure on the ball be-cause that was the weak spot of the team. Iowa State’s opponents each scored two goals against the Cyclone defense. Members also will focus on coming out every game and having a mindset to win.

“We just need to learn to come out and com-pete every game,” said ISU assistant coach Ben

Madsen. “Teams won’t just roll over for you, you have to come out and make it happen. It has to be for the full 90 minutes, too; it can’t be just in spurts, especially against good teams.”

Goldstein also added the team will have a week to get refocused and gain back some confidence in preparation for archrival Iowa on Friday.

“We all know that we need to play a lot better than we did this last weekend,” Goldstein said. “We have some tough competition this weekend and we just need to get refocused and go work hard at practice.”

For now, Goldstein and her teammates feel they need to focus on making themselves better for when the Hawkeyes come to town.

Being able to do so can right the ship, and put the team back on track.

“We just need to make sure that we work on the things that we saw this weekend that weren’t as good as they could have been and put that into our games for this weekend,” Goldstein said.

Iowa State will take on the Hawkeyes on Friday at 7 p.m. in Iowa City. The match will be a part of the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.

Cyclones pass test, defeat No. 9 Florida in 5 sets

Iowa State passed its first true test of the season with flying colors.

In Gainesville, Fla., on Monday, the No. 19 Cyclones upset No. 9 University of Florida in five sets (25-19, 29-27, 17-25, 18-25, 16-14).

A number of Cyclones (7-0) had a pro-ductive day against Florida. Senior Kelsey Petersen led Iowa State with 15 kills, Jamie Straube had 13 and Hannah Willms had the best game of her freshman campaign, record-ing 12 kills and 12 digs. Six Cyclones had at least five kills.

On the defensive end, Iowa State recorded eight total blocks. Kristen Hahn had 25 digs and Carly Jenson recorded 15 as well. They were two of the five Cyclones who had double-

digit digs.Iowa State started off strong, winning the

first set and battling back from an 18-22 defi-cit in the second set to come back in dramatic fashion and take the set, 29-27.

Florida then regained momentum, win-ning the next two sets. In set four, the Gators held Iowa State to a .229 hitting percentage while tallying three blocks. Florida dominated the fourth set, holding the Cyclone hitters to a .060 clip.

In the fifth set, the Cyclones capitalized on Florida’s mistakes. The Gators had five service errors and nine errors total. Kelly Murphy, Florida’s returning first-team All-American, had three errors in the final set, including the game-deciding attacking error that gave Iowa State the win.

This weekend, Iowa State will travel to play two games against North Dakota State.

mance of the three.“I was pleased with James White,”

Pope said. “That was basically his first time playing when it counted in a game early on. He got some early-on reps, he had one explosive run that he

did extremely well.”The Dallas native rushed for 32

yards on five carries for a team-high rushing average of 6.4 yards per carry.

“It’s just me doing me,” White said. “I practice hard, play hard and you know when the game gets here, I try my best to execute. So I feel like

practice had prepared me to do what I do now.”

Scott impresses in debut

Willie Scott made the most of his debut in the ISU defensive line rota-tion, notching the third-most tackles

on the team with nine, including five solo and 0.5 for loss, on Saturday.

“Willie Scott, he’s a tremendous athlete,” said junior linebacker Jake Knott. “He’s got tons of speed, great explosion. He’s been a playmaker all offseason. He makes plays and having a guy like that on the defensive line,

it’s nice to have.”Scott, who is listed at 223 pounds

at second string at left end on the depth chart, also recovered a fumble in the closing seconds of the game after a failed hook-and-ladder by the Panthers in a last-chance effort to win the game.

NCAA

By Stephen HawkinsThe Associated Press

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is willing to play wherever his school’s president and athletic director de-cide is best, even if it means a move by the top-ranked Sooners could trigger the nation’s first 16-team su-per conference.

“It seems that’s the direction the world’s going,” Stoops said Monday. “So if it is, so be it.”

Stoops stopped short on specu-lating what might happen or saying what he prefers.

Oklahoma president David Boren said just before the season’s opening weekend that the Sooners would decide within the next three weeks, if not sooner, if they would leave the Big 12 for another conference.

“As long as we get to play, I’ll go play wherever,” Stoops said during the Big 12 coaches’ weekly confer-ence call. “I’ve got great faith in (the president and AD), so for me to say what I’d prefer wouldn’t be right to do.”

With half the Big 12 heading into an off week, after all 10 teams won their openers at home, there are more questions about the future of the league.

After trimming down to 10 teams with the losses of Nebraska (Big Ten) and Colorado (Pac-12), the Big 12 hadn’t even opened its new sea-son before Texas A&M last week formally announced its intention to leave the league.

The Aggies are expected to apply

for membership to the Southeastern Conference, as early as this week when they are one of the teams with an open date.

“I did not think it would come up again,” Texas coach Mack Brown said about questions of the Big 12’s future. “I thought it was over for at least 10 years.”

There had been interest from the then-Pac-10 last summer of Texas and Oklahoma, along with Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, heading West as potentially part of a 16-team league.

Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said Saturday before the Oregon-LSU game in Texas that schools have reached out to his league recently. Scott wouldn’t say who they were, but said he was listening even though he wasn’t recruiting new members for his league.

Stoops said his focus is on play-ing sixth-ranked Florida State on Sept. 17 after an open date. Brown is getting his Longhorns ready to play BYU on Saturday.

Of course, those powerhouse teams will be fine no matter what happens.

“It seems like there’s about five different scenarios out there that everybody thinks are guaranteed to be the case,” Brown said. “I’ve got my hands full with Brigham Young on Saturday night and I know we’re in the Big 12 until the end of the year.”

There is more uncertainty for teams such as Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor and Iowa State should the Big 12 crumble.

Brown acknowledged that he feels sorry for some teams that may be left scrambling if there are changes, but pointed out that last year things were “all over the place” before Texas and Oklahoma decided to stay put.

“We were told last year we could join any league in the country we wanted to if it changed. We’ve been told we could go independent, so there’s going to be something re-ally good for Texas at the end of this,” Brown said. “Our school will be OK regardless of what happens, and that’s not the case for everybody. ... We’ll end up where we want to end up.”

Second-year Kansas coach Turner Gill insists he is not too con-cerned and has confidence in Big 12 leadership, including the presi-dents and chancellors of the league’s schools.

“I believe that the Big 12 Conference will be standing strong at some point in time,” Gill said. “How it all shakes out, I don’t know, but I do have confidence that there will be a Big 12 Conference.”

Two days after Oklahoma State billionaire booster Boone Pickens said he didn’t think the Big 12 will last much longer and believes the Cowboys eventually will end up in the Pac-12, coach Mike Gundy said he hopes that’s not necessarily the case.

“I would hope that our league could somehow stay together and survive. I guess it doesn’t look like that that is going to happen,” Gundy said.

It’s date night. Instead of going out to the same old song and dance, you’ve de-cided to cook dinner. While it’s enough stress to produce a well-rounded meal, the table setting shouldn’t have to be an added worry. Here are a few attain-able solutions and tips to get the ideas pumping.

First, decide what you’re underly-ing theme will be. We don’t mean an outlandish setup of rodeo or carnival-themed plates and napkins found at birthday party stores. Instead, imagine where you would most like to be enjoy-ing this meal.

It might be on a breezy summer porch in the middle of nowhere, a very romantic take on a simple meal for two. An antique approach might consist of basic white dinnerware and silver flat-ware laid upon a burlap table runner. Follow through with simple napkins and centerpieces. The centerpiece doesn’t imply a professional floral ar-rangement. Instead, find some small, bare branches and stack them in a vase or old soup can. Use old canning jars as your drinking glass, and gather more rustic things from around your space.

Maybe you went the other direc-tion and envisioned this happening on the rooftop terrace of a metropoli-tan loft. An easy way to put a modern, funky style into your setup is by mixing and matching patterns and colors. Pick up some trendy geographical printed plates like these from Target. Place them on a variety of brightly colored

placemats. Be careful not to end up with a smorgasbord of prints. Simple varia-tions on a certain color is an easy to keep relevance in your layout.

Lastly, look in affordable places for unique materials. A few simple dried flowers or limbs bring a sense of nature into your home. Craft stores offer many easy placemat-esque materials such as felt squares or chalkboard paper. While

there, pick up some ribbon that can be tied around the napkins or silver-ware. Antique stores will probably have small knickknacks that can add to your arrangement, such as these random Scrabble letters we found at JB Knacker used instead of a name card.

Take these ideas and run with them; make the table arrangement reflect both of your personal styles.

Tired of the same old dinner and a movie fevery date night? Can’t afford to drop $50 this weekend? Here’s a few fun, af-fordable ideas.

Reiman Gardens is a great place to take a romantic stroll or have an afternoon picnic. The award-winning, 14-acre site is one of the largest public gar-dens in Iowa and is free for ISU students. The gardens are open 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.

For something more adven-turous, head out to Ada Hayden Park just north of Ames. The park has walking paths and a paved bike path. The water is stocked if you or your date is a fishing fan and there are grills available to make a tasty dinner.

Want to see a movie, but don’t want to spend almost

$20 for your tickets? Check out Cinemark North Grand 5, where tickets range from 75 cents to $2. The Student Union Board shows movies for free on cam-pus most weekends during the semester as well.

The Ames Animal Shelter houses a few dozen friendly animals in need of adoption. It’s a great place to take your date for a playful afternoon. Stop by to cuddle with the kittens or play with one of the dogs. Who knows, you might find a new best friend to take home, too.

The newest frozen yogurt hot spot in Ames, Orange Leaf, opened late this summer and offers several flavors of frozen yogurt and endless options of toppings. You and your date can try your hand at fro-yo combina-tions and enjoy a delicious snack in Orange Leaf’s bright, energet-ic environment.

It doesn’t matter if your date takes you to a movie and a dinner or to the Animal Rescue League. If he is a real soft-hearted guy, these looks will be sure to knock his socks off. These outfits are perfect for both day dates and nights out on the town.

For the weekend afternoons you spend with that special someone, a coral-colored mid-length skirt paired with a light denim jacket and boots is always a great look. It’s both comfort-able and stylish.

Denim and boots are always a great staple combination for a casual day date. The third look shows a pair of skinny jeans, a blouse-style top and some knee-high riding boots.

Now for those nights out on the town, this first look takes a classic-style dress and give it an edgy feel by adding a cropped leather jacket.

For fashionistas, the royal-blue suede pumps will add a pop of color.

And ladies, when in doubt, pull out that little black dress and spice it up with some red strappy heals and some gold ac-cent jewelry.

These fun looks will be sure to catch his eye!

POOF POWDER

Teasing hair can be a tease if it falls fast. Creating the “perfect poof” can take several minutes. Tease queens spend as long as 20 minutes sculpting masterpiec-es. However, precious moments can be wasted time if hair loses its fluff. Longer and thicker hair has been known to col-lapse quickly, but for teases that tumble a cure exists.

Kevin Murphy has created an “instant poof in a jar.” Powder Puff is his weight-less hair product that creates volume and body. Powder Puff is sure to become a fa-vorite because it morphs hair into styles that hold and hold and hold. The powder is also fail-proof; just sprinkling a few taps of Powder Puff into hair creates a “presto poof.” Another thing to love — it not only gives lift, but it also duals as a dry shampoo.

Hairspray gets messy and sticky, so take hair to new heights and replace that old aerosol can with Powder Puff. Powder Puff sells for about $25 and can be found in most salons.
