ISU students and the Ames community can test their bravery while being philanthropic at Lambda Chi Alphaâs annual Gorevile Manor haunted house from 7 p.m. to midnight Thursday through Saturday at 203 Ash Ave. Tickets will be sold at the door for $5 and all proceeds go to ChildServe, a convalescent home that helps families with disabled children in Johnston. âThe Gorevile project was created in the late â70s and was originally set up in a church gym with hanging sheets. Since then, it has relocated to our actual house featuring a working drawbridge, moat, gallows and five skit rooms every year,â said Brad Drennan, co-chairman of the philanthropy and junior in history. âAlso, every hour on the hour, we have a mock witch hanging.â The construction of Gorevile Manor is time consuming but significant, said Nick Studer, co-chairman and junior in interdisciplinary studies and psychology. âEach room is generally headed by one person that has an idea of what they would want to use to creep out or scare people; this year I had been brainstorming ideas for the maze two weeks prior
By Katelynn McCollough Daily staff writer Carolyn Cutrona is one of five finalists for the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and she will make a presentation and answer questions at an open forum Thursday. Cutrona received her bachelorâs degree in English from Stanford University in 1973.

Cutrona will speak at an open forum Thursday. The forum will begin at 3:30 p.m. in 1951 Food Sciences. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend and ask questions. One dean finalist, Albert Boggess, was on campus earlier this week. The other three finalists will present next week, each with a separate open forum.

to building and then started heading up a small skit room incorporating the boiler room,â Studer said. âThis will be a surprise for the people going through.â Besides the shrieks and squeals, Gorevile Manor hopes to raise funds and awareness for a commendable cause. In the 1980s the fraternity started fundraising for ChildServe. âTo date, we have raised over $99,000. This year we are hoping to break the $100,000 milestone,â said Sean Van Osdale, president of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. âThe money that we raise buys wheelchairs, funds events, supports physical therapy sessions and takes care of the childrenâs specific needs. This allows them to not worry about struggling to overcome something; rather it lets them have that covered so they can focus on whatâs really important â being a kid.â The event also give members of the fraternity a deeper idea of what children at ChildServe go through. Drennen said, âAn element of the partnership [with ChildServe] includes us making a trip to Johnston to participate in their âWelcome to our Worldâ program where the guys get a feel for what it is like to have a disability of sorts, and how it affects a personâs everyday routine.â âThis leads into the building phase of Gorevile and gives us the motivation to turn our house into a castle

Student groups celebrate in green By Meg.Grissom @iowastatedaily.com Various shades of green lined a semi-circle of tables, all staffed by people brought together for a common cause. The green color scheme was probably enough to clue in the casual passer-by of just what the
cause was: the environment. Nearly 20 student organizations and local businesses gathered Wednesday to educate their peers and raise awareness in honor of National Campus Sustainability Day outside of Parks Library. The day is observed all over the country in different ways. At Iowa
State, student organizations and local businesses were invited to set up a booth to inform visitors of their green practices and projects. âSustainability is easy to forget about,â said Kelsey Pieper, public relations director for the student organization Green Umbrella. âSo this event is a good way to remind stu-

Dorsett presents programs to GSB Welch bars drink pink for cancer
By Charles.OâBrien @iowastatedaily.com James Dorsett, head of the International Students and Scholars Office and interim dean of students, spoke to the Government of the Student Body at its meeting Wednesday night. Dorsett spoke mostly about international students and the challenges they face. âInternational students coming to Iowa State have a variety of issues they have to deal with,â he said. âThe three main problems they face are cultural stress, academic stress and immigration regulations and requirements.â To help counter these problems, the office has set up a student services program to help international students adapt to life in the U.S. âWe help international students learn how to buy a car, lease an apartment, adjust to the cold and teach them how to write American-styled papers,â Dorsett said.

Besides teaching international students how to adapt to living at Iowa State, the offices offers students a welcoming environment and immigration policy advising. âIn the last three years, we have
had a record numbers of international students here at Iowa State,â Dorsett said. âCurrently there are 3,424 international students at Iowa State and the majority of them are from China.â
Colleges Against Cancer and Welch Avenue bars are partnering to raise awareness that there is hope in the battle against cancer by hosting the Drink Pink Bar Crawl on Thursday. Proceeds raised by Colleges Against Cancer go to the American Cancer Society to find a cure. âThe idea for Drink Pink Mug Night actually fell into my lap through friends and contacts I had made last year as I fundraised like crazy in honor of my momâs 10th year cancer-free,â said Jill Wedeking, team recruitment co-chairwoman for Colleges Against Cancer and senior in dietetics. âI got a call one night from a friend who manages Cyâs Roost, Melvin Evans Jr.,
