Natural disaster
Quake paralyzes Japan ISU Japanese students share their reactions By Torey.Robinson iowastatedaily.com Powerless is how Shun Yoshida describes the way he feels. Yoshida, senior in aerospace engineering, is one of 12 ISU Japanese international students watching the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in his home country from more than 7,000 miles away. I can’t really give them any help being so far away,” Yoshida said. “I can’t be part of the activities over there that are helping ... I can’t really be a part of the national movement going on over there. It’s frustrating.” Yoshida, originally from Chiba in western Japan, has received the bulk of his information regarding the disaster from American news sources. He first heard of an earthquake in Japan late March 10, and contacted his parents via e-mail to confirm their safety before he went to sleep. Yoshida did not know the magnitude of the earthquake devastation until he woke up Friday morning. “I was kind of shaken up,” Yoshida said. “I tried to reach my friends. I couldn’t reach one of my friends in the northern part [of Japan] that got hit by the earthquake and tsunami, so I was really worried for awhile.” “His mom posted on my [Facebook wall] saying he was OK. That’s the point

Nuclear situation begins to stabilize, but worries remain TOKYO — Workers began to see some success in their battle to cool down reactors at the quake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant Sunday, but Japanese officials said they may need to release additional radioactive gas into the air. The plant’s owner, Tokyo Electric Power Co., said electricity was being supplied to a switchboard in reactor No. 2. But officials said they were monitoring reactor No. 3 to determine whether to release gas to reduce mounting pressure in the containment vessel — the steel and concrete shell that insulates radioactive material inside. Power company officials said pressure was higher than previous readings — but stable — Sunday afternoon. And Chief Cabinet Secretary
Yukio Edano said the pressure increase did not require “an immediate release of the air at this moment.” Still, “even in the best scenario, there will be a lot of bumps ahead,” Edano said. There are six reactors at the nuclear plant, where workers have been struggling to stave off a full meltdown since a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami knocked out cooling systems. Workers have injected steam to release pressure in previous operations. The dual disasters, which struck March 11, devastated much of northeastern Japan. On Sunday, the country’s national police said 8,450

Discuss current policy rather than make hasty decisions By Jessica.Opoien iowastatedaily.com
W
hen disaster strikes, it’s tempting to develop policies based on knee-jerk reactions and a swiftly swayed public opinion. We see it time and time again, from the PATRIOT Act’s post-9/11 approval, to proposed gun control legislation following the Jan. 8 shooting in Tucson, Ariz. Emotions are both strong and unsteady in the wake of a catastrophe, and it’s fair to say policy decisions should not be made during such times of tumult. However, it is this fear and uncertainty that causes us to question the circumstances surrounding a disaster, and if these events that call our worldview into
Student organizations
Clubs provide political platforms
By Hillary.Bassett iowastatedaily.com Participating in one of the 10 political clubs on campus can help a student find more than a political niche, it may lead to a job. Whether an individual wants a career in politics or not, joining a student organization could help him or her stand out from the crowd when looking for that dream job in the future. “I think joining a student organization, political or not, just says ‘I’m a person who is a participant in life,’” said Steven Kravinsky, director of Career Services within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “That, in and of itself, tells an employer that that’s the kind of person you are and that’s the kind of person they want to hire,” Kravinsky said. Students can also gain skills from joining these clubs, which Kravinsky called “soft skills.” This includes building leadership skills, communication skills, interpersonal skills, attention to detail and time management. For students who align themselves with a certain political party, there are three clubs to join on campus that allow for discussion and localized involvement in elections or campaigns.

question don’t lead to a productive discussion about current policy, then we may learn nothing from them. The radiation plume from Japan’s Fukushima reactor will likely be too diluted to threaten the health of Californians once it reaches the West Coast, but the danger the Japanese face is very severe, and it has caused Americans to question the safety of nuclear power within their own borders. We have Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and, most recently, Japan’s nuclear crisis, to remind us that nuclear power does not come

Engineers for a Sustainable World will encourage students on campus to give up a meal Tuesday to donate money for World Water Day. Encouraged by Global Fast, ESW plans to use the money raised from meals donated to address World Water Day, an international observation on the importance of this natural resource. “[Global Fast is] an event being put on nationwide where different universities would get students to pledge to fast something for a day,” said Pasha Beresnev, president of ESW and senior in civil engineering. “We’re choosing students to give up their meals since that’s pretty easy,” Beresnev said. “There’s a lot of leftover meals week to week that students have on their meal plans,” Beresnev said. “A lot of students wouldn’t even see a difference if they donated those extra meals, as opposed to what would go to waste.” The group plans to have students sign a pledge, indicating that they agree to donate one meal. Students can sign up at the dining centers, Hawthorn Market or the Memorial Union, where ESW members will collect the extra meals. The group’s goal is to collect a total of $5,000 toward its water project for World

Rihanna: I’ve found peace Rihanna’s life hasn’t been the same since she was assaulted by her ex Chris Brown in 2009, but the singer says the experience changed her for the better. “It actually gave me a lot of liberation,” she said. “What I mean is, I was able to tap into the personal part of my music. I started to tell stories through my music that were actually my stories. My album before that, there was still a little bit of protection, there was still an innocence to me. And what that time in my life did was kind of wake people up: It’s not all a bed of roses.”

Megan Fox in talks for ‘Knocked Up’ sequel After playing a sexpot in a string of movies, Megan Fox is getting ready to bare her funny side. According to Variety, the actress is in talks to star in a sequel to Judd Apatow’s 2007 comedy “Knocked Up.” Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, who played bickering couple Pete and Debbie in the first film, will headline the follow up. “It is just a story from Pete and Debbie’s current life,” Apatow told HitFlix. “People really responded to their characters and problems. I felt like there was a lot of ground I could explore with them.” Fox will play a supporting role, and Deadline.com reports that comic legend Albert Brooks is also set to appear in the film as Pete’s dad. Apatow has said that both Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen may appear in the sequel, which is slated to begin shooting in July for a June 2012 release.
Christina Aguilera: I wasn’t myself as a young star Christina Aguilera has had her share of negative press lately, being criticized for “Burlesque,” making headlines with the breakup of her marriage and getting arrested with her new boyfriend, who was suspected of driving under the influence. Now, she’s starting a positive chapter in her life as a mentor on the upcoming singing competition “The Voice.” Aguilera will help guide emerging talent, and said she wishes she had someone doing the same for her in the early stages of her career. “I was so green to the business,” she said. “I was so thrilled and excited to get my first record deal that I allowed myself to sort of be molded or get labeled some things that sort of take hold and make me out to be what they wanted [me] to be... I think that you can only shine your best when you are able to be yourself. And that’s what I want these people to be able to do.”

Greek community
Video contest promotes ISU Greek Getaway By Alayna.Flor iowastatedaily.com ISU greek chapters may submit YouTube videos encouraging current ISU students to join the greek community as part of the MORE video contest. The goal is to have more student currently enrolled at Iowa State participate in Greek Getaway, a weekend event in which high school and college students stay within ISU chapters to get a taste of greek life. But the project originated from an unlikely source: a group of five students in a journalism and mass communication course. “We created the MORE video contest in hopes that people will look at the videos and see we are trying to better Iowa State,” said Rachel Gerdes, College Panhellenic Council vice president of communications and senior in journalism and mass communication. “Because Greek Getaway is free to current students, we want to generate more buzz and more interest,” Gerdes said. Working along with Gerdes and four other classmates, Makenzie Heddens, junior in journalism and mass communications, helped make the MORE video contest into a campus-wide campaign. “For class, we had to do a [public relations] campaign and had to research what kind of tactics would work best promoting Greek Getaway,” Heddens said. “Mass e-mailings don’t seem to work. We were trying to find something that’s different that would intrigue people more,” Heddens said.
Want MORE? To view to MORE YouTube video entries, go to www.youtube.com/ moreisu.
The class that sparked this idea is JLMC 424, Public Relations Campaigns. “Its a hands-on real life class where we find a client or an event, and work with the people involved to do research, focus groups and go off of that to help whatever campaign it is,” Heddens said. Each house in the greek community may submit a video for the contest. Each video promotes being greek, Greek Getaway and the benefits. This campaign does not promote the individual houses, but promotes being greek in general. “Greek Getaway a great place to learn about being greek,” Gerdes said. “With Greek Getaway, there are no strings attached and its really fun.” The videos for the MORE campaign are due March 22, and the governing councils will choose the top 10 videos to put onto YouTube. Through promotions, flyers and other campaigning techniques learned in class, the team promoting this event will be raising awareness on campus the week after Spring Break. “We want to get a higher attendance for Greek Getaway, and we wanted to tap into the audience that hasn’t been touched yet, which is current students,” Heddens said. “Lots of people are unaware they can still join even if

they are in college. By starting this campaign, we hope this campaign will happen in the years to come,” Heddens said. The idea of the MORE campaign was thought of by a few of the students within the group; and with Greek Getaway within the proper time frame, they decided it would be a great event to promote in a unique way. “We chose the name MORE because by getting involved, it’s saying you want to do more with yourself; do more with being involved,
which helps advance your career and future,” Gerdes said. “What more do students want from [Iowa State]? Is greek life something that can help you get more out of Iowa State?” With the contest created by students, involving students and helping students, this group plans on helping the success of Greek Getaway with the hard work and effort put in to get the job done. “We have been working a lot directly with the Office of Greek Affairs, as well as people from the Interfraternity
Council and the Collegiate Panhellenic Council ... YouTube is a media source that is so easy to use, that’s what helped us decide to use that to promote this event,” Gerdes said. The winner of the video contest will be chosen by Jennifer Plagman-Galvin, director of Greek Affairs, as well as other members of the office staff of Greek Affairs. The winner will receive a gift card to a restaurant in Ames. To view to videos, go to youtube.com/ moreisu.
“We want students to realize there is so much more to being greek, and with the MORE campaign, we want students to become aware of this,” Gerdes said. “Being greek is so much more than being a social tool; it’s also about having beliefs, values, strong academics and involvement in a nationally recognized community.”

the meeting. England said the new website is up and running but is not complete yet. There is a student page on the website that will provide students with information about bike registration and parking tickets. The Government of the Student Body suggested putting a calendar in the website with student-related events. Steve Schainker, city manager for Ames, said that the website could possibly link the student calendar from the university website. Students will be able to sign up for notices they want to receive from the city, such as snow ordinances. The Student Affair Commission was also informed of the online visioning survey that will be online from March 15 to 31. The survey is part of the project set up by Brand Endeavor, a branding company from Marina del Rey, Calif. The city hired the com-
pany to research Ames and its residents in order to determine what the city vision should be. The survey can be taken at www.cityofames.org.
Schainker said it should take around 10 minutes to fill out the survey. The next Student Affairs Commission meeting will be at 5 p.m. April 7.

Libya
US says it won’t go beyond UN mandate TRIPOLI, Libya — Fresh off a “successful start” against Moammar Gadhafi’s air defenses and ground troops, U.S. officials Sunday said they are being careful not to go beyond mandates in the United Nations Security Council resolution. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates warned against widening the current coalition operations to include a direct attack on Gadhafi. Anything that goes beyond enforcement of the no-fly zone and prevention of new military attacks on rebels risks disrupting the “very diverse coalition” that agreed to the attacks, Gates said. The Libyan military called an immediate cease-fire Sunday after allied forces pounded one of its convoys near Benghazi and, U.S. officials said, significantly degraded the regime’s air defenses. “We are not going after Gadhafi,” U.S. Vice Adm. Bill Gortney said at a Pentagon
press briefing. “Regime forces are more pressed and less free to maneuver.” Asked about reports of smoking rise from the area of Gadhafi’s palace, Gortney said, “We are not targeting his residence.” Gunfire could be heard in Tripoli early Monday. Despite Libyan government contentions that women, children and clerics have died in allied attacks, Gortney and other officials said that’s not the case. “We have no indication of any civilian casualties,” the admiral said. The alliance of U.S., European and Arab countries likely won’t rely on the word of the Libyan military, which according to its spokesman Milad al Fuqhi, “issued command to all military units to safeguard immediate ceasefire everywhere.” “As with previous ceasefire announcements, we have to wait and see if it’s genuine,”
U.S. Africa Command spokesman Vince Crawley said. “We urge the Libyan government to do everything it can to demonstrate its sincerity.” Gates said there are other options to assist opposition fighters beyond arming them, including pressuring the government with political and economic sanctions. Arab League SecretaryGeneral Amr Moussa told reporters before an emergency meeting Sunday that what is happening in Libya is different from what was intended by imposing a no-fly zone, according to Egypt’s state-run Ahram newspaper. “What we want is the protection of civilians and not the shelling of more civilians,” Moussa said, adding that “military operations may not be needed in order to protect the civilians.” But Arab League chief of staff Hisham Youssef said Moussa’s comments did not signify a shift by the
organization. “The Arab League position has not changed. We fully support the implementation of a no-fly zone,” Youssef said. “Our ultimate aim is to end the bloodshed and achieve the aspirations of the Libyan people.” U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen said Gadhafi forces have shown little ability to counter coalition firepower. Allied aircraft struck a Misrata area airport that has both civilian and military uses, said Gortney. Three B-2 bombers struck only military positions at the airfield, he said. There was violence across the country Sunday, with Gadhafi apparently shelling rebels in the west while allied airstrikes destroyed one of Gadhafi’s convoys in the east. As of Sunday night local time, the United States and British military had fired a total of 124 Tomahawk missiles at Libya’s air defense sites, Gortney said. Gadhafi had said the strikes were a confrontation between the Libyan people and “the new Nazis,” and promised “a long-drawn war.” “You have proven to the world that you are not civilized, that you are terrorists – animals attacking a safe nation that did nothing against you,” Gadhafi had said in an earlier televised speech. Gadhafi did not appear on screen during his address, leading CNN’s Nic Robertson in Tripoli to speculate that the Libyan leader did not want to give the allies clues about his location. Throughout the address, an image of a golden fist crushing a model plane that said “USA” filled the screen — a monument in Tripoli to the 1986 American bombing of Libya, in which one U.S. plane was downed. At the same time Gadhafi spoke, his regime was shelling Misrata using tanks, artillery and cannons, a witness said. “They are destroying the city,” said the witness, who is not being identified for safety reasons.

He said rebels were fighting back. Sounds of heavy gunfire could be heard during a telephone conversation with the man. There was no immediate word on casualties. Meanwhile, a senior doctor at the medical center in Benghazi confirmed Sunday that 95 people were killed and an unknown number injured in Saturday’s assault on the city by pro-Gadhafi forces. Doctors there also reported a shortage of supplies, especially emergency supplies. French Defense ministry spokesman Thierry Burkhard said the coalition’s aim continues to be support for the civilians. On Sunday, the French forces did not open fire at all because it was not necessary, he said. The previous day, French planes fired and hit four tanks. CNN’s Arwa Damon saw outside Benghazi the remains of a convoy of at least 70 mili-

tary vehicles destroyed by multiple airstrikes Sunday, leaving at least five charred bodies, plus twisted tanks and smashed trucks as far as she could see. Rebels with Damon told her it was a convoy of Libyan troops loyal to Gadhafi coming to attack Benghazi. The no-fly zone is effectively already in place, Mullen said, adding that air attacks by coalition forces have taken out most of Libya’s air defense systems and some airfields. The international military coalition targeted air defense positions near the capital, Tripoli, for a second day Sunday. A spokesperson for the U.K. Foreign Office said that for the no-fly zone to be enforced, it was necessary to target Libyan air defenses. “Unlike Gadhafi, the coalition is not attacking civilians,” the spokesperson said.

Honors class works to change directory By Carmen.Leng iowastatedaily.com The class, Dare to be Aware, is an Honors 322 program that concentrates on educating students about ISU resources, support and ways to get involved with organizations pertaining to personal safety and community care. The course includes an intervention project, and this semester’s class decided to focus on information available on the ISU online directory. As of now, the directory is just like a telephone book. It contains information about every ISU student and faculty member. This includes: full name, phone number, e-mail address, home address, major and classification. The only difference between a phone book and the directory is the easy access online. “We understand that the directory is a very useful tool when it comes to finding a person’s e-mail or basic contact information, but we feel that the directory has some information, such as a student’s address, that some people may not be comfortable with being public,” said Emily Hansen, a sophomore enrolled in Honors 322. Students may not know any unwanted information can be removed by filling out a form at the Office of the Registrar.
Student develops social media for engineering By Erin.Coppock iowastatedaily.com
“The intervention project would like to focus on making students more aware of what options they have available, and we would like to make the process for students easier,” said Bianca Contreras, sophomore in world languages and cultures involved in the honors program. The Dare to be Aware ideal outcome of this project would be the option for students to choose what information the directory could release and make public and the ability for students to make adjustments on Access Plus, Contreras said. Denise Timberland, administrative specialist for records and registration, has already taken the honors program proposal into consideration by adding a “How To” tab on the side of the ISU online directory. This link provides a tutorial on how to go about suppressing and removing unwanted information. “We are trying to figure out a way to best serve the entire campus population by allowing students to make the decision on what information they want restricted,” Timberland said. The changes regarding the ISU online directory will not be made immediately, but the Office of the Registrar and the students involved in the intervention project are working together to find common ground on the issue.

Heidi Ebert isn’t your typical aerospace engineering student. As one of the few in the major with a minor in journalism and mass communication, Ebert didn’t have to stray far from her natural interests to begin her new project: the development of a new social media website for the Department of Aerospace Engineering. Ebert’s main goal for the project is like that of any other social media websites that exist today: to bring people together. However, the project itself is very different than the websites individuals use on a daily basis. This new website will allow students to communicate with other students, faculty, administration, professionals and alumni in the aerospace engineering and will solely be used as an education tool. “The project’s design is going to be set up as something different than anything else out there,” Ebert said. “It won’t be like Facebook, the most popular social website, for a couple reasons. First of all, it won’t be as personal of a site. With Facebook, students put up pictures and inCyRide is jointly funded by formation that they don’t rethe city of Ames, Iowa State ally want their professors and and GSB. other professionals to see.

Council to vote on CyRide real-time tracking technology By Kayla.Schantz iowastatedaily.com CyRide could soon have bus tracking technology that will allow students to receive real-time arrival information via smartphone, website and automated telephone system. The City Council will vote Tuesday to approve a contract with bus tracking vender NEXTbus to implement such technology in CyRide. Besides making arrival information available via electronic sources, NEXTbus will also have arrival signage at four locations on campus: Kildee, Bessey, Friley and Student Services. NEXTbus is used by the University of Iowa in Iowa
City and the company offered the same prices to CyRide. High cost estimates have prevented implementing bus tracking for CyRide in the past. However, with the recent affordable prices, as well as a $1 million GSB trust fund for CyRide, the project is now feasible. The bus tracking system proposal was approved by GSB on Feb. 2 and by the Transit Board of Trustees on Feb. 17. The $428,390 contract includes implementation and three years’ service. The Transit Board will decide on further contract costs at a later date. City Council will also vote on a new CyRide transit service agreement at the meeting.
Provost
Equity and Diversity position created to provide leadership By Alli.Kolick iowastatedaily.com
A new position will open up in the Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost office for an equity and diversity coordinator. “It’s a newly conceived position,” said Dawn BratschPrince, associate provost. This staff position was created to work with BratschPrince regarding matters of equity and diversity at the staff and faculty level on campus. In the past there were different individuals at Iowa State that were in charge of pieces that are included in
the responsibility of this new position. “We’re pulling together some different responsibilities into this position, and I think it’ll be a very coherent grouping of those responsibilities,” Bratsch-Prince said. This position is an attempt to provide the support needed to provide leadership to diversity. “We’ve consolidated diversity efforts to this office,” Bratsch-Prince said regarding diversity programming. One of the responsibilities is leading the Merging Leaders Academy, which is a leadership training program for fac-

panies and other businesses who may be seeking students for internship or jobs to gain access to the site. By connecting employers and professionals with students, it gives aerospace engineering students the chance to stand out and be noticed in a way that the engineering department does not, Ebert said. “The engineering department does do a good job of trying to connect students with employers, but their only way of doing it is with the career fair,” Ebert said. “Although helpful, it’s very competitive because you’re not only competing with students in your department, you’re competing with students in all the departments of engineering.” “This website will give Aerospace students a kind of an edge on other students by giving them opportunities to appeal to companies in different ways.” Ebert is employed by the Department of Aerospace Engineering, specifically under Richard Wlezien, professor and chairman of aerospace engineering. “Dr. Wlezien is very interested in using social media as a way to improve the department,” Ebert said. “He has expressed to me how rarely he associates with professionals and old colleagues of his within the field of study, so he’s excited for this project as a way for students to communicate with not only each other, but with other professionals and alumni as well.” Heidi is also hopeful this project could help the Department of Aerospace Engineering with its continuing problem of low retention rate of students.

by allowing student feedback within the site as well as having students share experiences, tips on classes, projects and other things related to the curriculum as well. “I think what’s happening is freshmen come in their first year and do a lot of computer programming and loose site of the big picture really easily,” Ebert said. “They think that if they’re not good at or really interested in computer programming, aerospace engineering isn’t right for them. That’s something the department is working on, and I know Dr. Wlezien is excited for the project because he is always appreciative of student feedback. “Because it is a big department, he doesn’t get the opportunity to talk to all of the engineers,” she said. “This website could help this problem, which could ultimately help the retention rate. It also will offer lowerclassman the opportunity to receive advice and gain insight of some upperclassman within the department, which could help them get through some tough projects and classes.” Although the project is designed specifically for individuals involved in aerospace engineering, it offers an opportunity to other students outside of the department, as well. Ebert’s development team for the project is open to all students of all majors and interests. She is looking for current students enrolled at Iowa State with interests in public relations, graphic design, communications, advertising and writing. Students involved in the project will help with development. “I really want students to be a part of it because being here at Iowa State,” Ebert said. “I have been given the opportunity to do a lot of things I never thought I’d have the opportunity to do. Iowa State gives students opportunities that are a little out of their league, but I feel that students can surprise not only themselves, but others as well.”

>>STUDENTS.p1 where I felt really safe. All my friends and my parents and my family were safe.” Internet connections such as e-mail and social media has been the primary mode of communication between ISU students and friends and family in Japan. Citizens are asked to minimize phone usage to free the phone lines for emergency use, Yoshida said. This can make it difficult for Japanese students to know exactly what is going on in their country. “We could only see the fire burning around cities [on the news March 11],” said Yuki Kojima, graduate in agronomy and international student from Nagoya, Japan. “The TV said still there were some aftershocks and tsunamis, but we could not see anything except the fire.” “I couldn’t believe it was the sight in Japan. I couldn’t concentrate on studying and working that day since I had been worried about Japan and the people living there.” Like Yoshida, Kojima’s friends and family confirmed they were safe. But that doesn’t take away from his concern for Japan. “The most concerning thing is the nuclear plant,” Kojima said. “It is still under crisis, and nobody knows what will happen next.” “Also it is not a current problem, but I worry about Japan’s economy after this disaster. I hope it won’t be so bad and will be restored as soon as possible.” But the students have not been dealing with their concerns alone. “[The Japanese in Ames] have communicated with each other, had a dinner together, and talked a lot to relax,” Kojima said. “Also my supervisor, members of my research group and many friends have been caring for me.” The university has also reached out to the affected students. The International Students and Scholars’ Office, which is the primary point of contact between international students and professionals once on campus, sent out communication following the tsunami to ensure the students were aware of available resources, said James Dorsett, director of International Students and Scholars. Following an unforeseen situation, the office will work to ensure each international student’s individual needs are addressed, whether it be mentally, financially or academically. “There are a variety of things that can be done to help the students,” Dorsett said. “Not every student will need the

same set of services, and we try and meet the needs of each individual. What we try and do from the very beginning is let them know from the very beginning there are some resources available.” This support is important for the students’ well-being, Dorsett said. “If you have this crushing burden on your mind, you’re not going to be able to think very well and do your studies and concentrate,” Dorsett said. “I really appreciate them caring for us,” Kojima said. Yoshida, president of the ISU Japanese Association, said he has received words of encouragement and support from other student organization leaders. “They’ve also asked if they can help in a fundraising opportunity,” he said. The Japanese Association does not know what its plan to help Japan will be yet, but a project is in the works. “We’ve been gathering information,” Yoshida said. “It’s up to all the members for us to decide what we’re going to do ... our plan is to hold a fundraising activity, which is primarily for raising awareness. International Student Council is planning on holding a candlelight vigil at the end of March for Japan, Yoshida said. The ISU Japanese Association also hopes to plan an event for April. But the effort is not just among the ISU Japanese population. “I have some Japanese friends studying at other universities in the U.S.,” Kojima said. “They have already started discussing what they can do for Japan at each university. And I heard some of them have already started charity events and fundraising.” Kojima said ISU support doesn’t solely have to be directed toward Japan. “There are also some countries having severe earthquakes such as China and New Zealand,” he said. “I would like students to be concerned about these disasters and the people who have suffered from disasters.” Money isn’t the only way members of the ISU community can aid those abroad. “It doesn’t have to be a donation,” Kojima said. “There are other things they can do for these people. They can send words of encouragement. Or they can join some charity events.” “We have different people from different cultures and different races [on campus], and there are things going on that need our help,” Yoshida said. “You can be a part of the help.”

In Miyagi prefecture alone — one of the hardest-hit areas — police said the death toll could climb to 15,000. Amidst the gloom came a ray of hope Sunday when medical officials in the Miyagi city of Ishinomaki said they had rescued an 80-year-old grandmother and her 16-yearold grandson, who had been trapped inside their house for nine days. Police were searching for survivors in the vicinity, Kadonowakimachi, in the southern part of Ishinomaki near the coast.

radioactive iodine have been detected in tap water in Tokyo and most prefectures near the Fukushima plant. The health ministry said levels of radioactive iodine three times greater than the regulated standard were found in drinking water in a village near the Fukushima plant and asked residents not to drink from the tap, Kyodo News reported Sunday. The government has banned the sale of raw milk from Fukushima prefecture due to the radiation level found in samples exceeding levels set by law. The prefecture has also restricted sales of vegetables grown in the area, saying that they can only be sold within the prefecture, the country’s Health Ministry announced Sunday. The Japanese government has also banned the sale of spinach from neighboring Ibaraki prefecture due to radiation levels over government limits, the country’s Health Ministry announced late Sunday. Edano said the contaminated milk detected in Fukushima prefecture had not been distributed or sold. On Saturday, officials said tainted milk was found 18 miles from the plant, and spinach was collected as far as 65 miles to the south, almost halfway to Tokyo. A person who consumed the tainted food continuously for a year would take in the same amount of radiation as a single CT scan, Edano said Saturday. That’s about seven millisieverts, or double what an average person in an industrialized country is exposed to in a year, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “Even if you consume the spinach in question for a long time, it will not pose an immediate threat to your health,” Edano said Sunday. At the plant itself, workers from the power company and firefighters helping douse reactors with water are taking on the risk of far greater radiation exposure. Firefighter Yasuo Sato told reporters his family was well aware of the risk – and proud that he was taking it. When he sent a text message to his wife telling her he was heading to the troubled nuclear plant, he said her reply
was simple: “Please become a savior for Japan.” Six members of an emergency crew working to restore electricity at the plant have been exposed to more than 100 millisieverts of radiation per hour. Officials say regaining electrical power could bring cooling systems back online – a key step in curbing the further emission of radioactive material and preventing a full nuclear meltdown. A meltdown occurs when nuclear fuel rods get so hot that they melt the steel and concrete structure containing them, spilling out into the air and water with potentially deadly results. The earthquake and tsunami Friday knocked out regular and backup cooling systems at the plant. It was unclear whether the cooling system in reactor No. 2 was working after power was restored Sunday. The plan is to get power up and running for the Numbers 1, 3 and 4 reactors soon. Cooling systems at the Numbers 5 and 6 reactors – the least troublesome of the group -- have already been restored, Kyodo News said. Japan’s nuclear agency said workers were spending about five hours installing electrical cables Sunday before water spraying operations resumed. Radiation levels at the plant declined during that operation, Japanese public broadcaster NHK reported. On Saturday, authorities set up a new system to spray seawater continuously on the troubled reactors for extended periods of time. Previously, firefighters, soldiers and electric company workers had manually done the same in brief intervals to avoid prolonged radiation exposure. Water was directed at the No. 3 reactor’s spent fuel pool on Saturday in order to cool it and prevent the emission of more radioactive material into the atmosphere. Authorities have also started spraying the No. 4 reactor and continued efforts there Sunday. Speaking during a trip to Brazil on Sunday, President Obama said, “The people of Japan are some of our closest friends, and we will pray with them, stand with them and rebuild with them until this crisis has passed.” — CNN’s Junko Ogura and Yoko Wakatsuki contributed to this report

Alumna returns Buffalo Wild Wings to open doors Monday to Des Moines, begins project By Ben.Theobald iowastatedaily.com
By Micaela.Cashman iowastatedaily.com Hillary Brown co-owns the music marketing firm On Pitch in Des Moines while maintaining a fulltime job at Lava Row, a social media consulting, strategy and education company, as a social media strategist. She said On Pitch is “more of a passion project” for her and co-owner Jill Haverkamp. Brown hosted a panel Thursday at South By Southwest Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas. What was your major at Iowa State? My major was advertising with an emphasis in pop culture. What were you doing before On Pitch? Before Jill Haverkamp and I launched On Pitch, I was just working at Lava Row full time and doing a lot of volunteer work with the Greater Des Moines Music Coalition. Jill and I were doing so much music marketing work on the side that it only made sense to legitimize our efforts and turn our passions into a real company. I moved back to Des Moines in 2008 from Los Angeles, where I lived for six years. How did you learn about music marketing? I learned about music marketing in Los Angeles. While I was there, I gained music marketing experience through a variety of music and entertainment marketing companies, including a youth marketing agency called A.D.D. Marketing + Advertising that focused on entertainment clients — film, music and video games — and Passenger, a social media software company, where I also worked with several entertainment-focused clients. What exactly do you and your partner do for your clients? What kind of clients do you have? We provide a full range of marketing services for our clients, including media relations, social media, online marketing, grassroots marketing and integrated marketing. Our client base ranges from DIY artists to bands to music venues and music festivals. We also work with a few local businesses, which we categorize as lifestyle companies. Why did you decide to start this business in the Midwest? Jill and I started our business in the Midwest, specifically Des Moines, because we saw a huge opportunity and a need for it. We both left Des Moines and moved to bigger cities — Los Angeles for me and Chicago for Jill — and decided to move back, bringing our experience with us to grow our careers here in the Heartland. Jill always wanted to start a music marketing company, so she was really following her dream. Music has always been a passion of mine and marketing my profession, so us teaming up seemed like a perfect fit. How did you get involved with South By Southwest? I first got involved with SXSW in 2009. This was my first year attending the conference, but I did not attend SXSW Music that year; only Interactive through my full-time job at Lava Row. In 2010, I returned for my second year of Interactive and first year of SXSW Music with Jill; her first year too. We actually launched our company and website at SXSW Music last year. How did you get selected to be a moderator? Jill and I submitted our idea through SXSW’s PanelPicker last June. The PanelPicker is an online system that allows the SXSW community to have a significant voice in programming Interactive, Film and Music conference activities: panels, presentations, discussions, demonstrations, etc. Jill and I first submitted a proposal for our idea, and then the SXSW community got to rate which of these proposals they think would be a good fit. Public voting accounted for 30 percent of the decision-marketing process, along with SXSW staff [30 percent] and an Advisory Board [40 percent]. Our panel was selected, and thus I get to moderate it, which includes selecting the panelists, planning the panel and moderating the live panel on March 17. How did you get the panelists to participate? When we created our panel idea, we also created a wish list of music industry professionals we wanted to be speakers on our panel and share their experiences, insights and advice about their career paths and how they launched their careers in the Midwest. As soon as we found out that our panel was accepted into the programming for SXSW Music 2011, we started to reach out to them to see if they would be interested in participating. Fortunately, all of our top picks were available, and we ended up with a rockstar lineup; literally. What questions do you plan on asking? We’ll be asking a variety of questions specific to our panelists’ career paths and experience, and in doing so we hope to answer the following questions: Do I have to move to the coast, a big city or a music mecca to have a successful music career? What do I need to know to determine where I should launch my career in the music industry? What are the key ingredients for musicians or music industry professionals to be successful in a small to mid-size city? What are the benefits of launching your music career or business in a small to mid-size city? What challenges will you face launching your career in a small to mid-size city and how can you overcome them?

After finishing Saturday night on a positive note at Startup Weekend Des Moines, the team came back together Sunday morning to wrap up and prepare for the presentation that night. The team switched direction from creating a functioning prototype to presenting a mock screenshot of Locusic, feeling the audience and judges would understand how the concept of a live streaming radio of purely local music would work. Jake Kerber, who presented the original idea for Locusic, spent the greater part of the March 5 afternoon practicing the pitch. “I think I was quite happy with it,” said Adam Reineke, senior in software engineering. “I knew we had a decent idea and presentation. I wasn’t presenting so I wasn’t nervous.” Groups were given five minutes to present their ideas and accomplishments with discussing what problem their new venture was solving and how the idea would be monetized. “I thought [Jake] did a really good job,” Reineke said. “He stuck to the script and handled the questions well.” After 10 ideas were presented to the judges, the judges left to deliberate which three teams would place. At this time, Reineke had to leave and return to Ames for previous engagements and would miss the awards ceremony, but the presentations and ceremony were streamed online. When the judges announced the winners, they announced that Locusic won third place, but

Reineke wasn’t surprised when he watched the awards ceremony later that night. “I knew already because I saw it on Twitter,” he said. “It was already spoiled.” After Startup Weekend ended, it was up to each individual team to decide if it should continue the project or not. Kerber decided to take on the project of Locusic and proceed with it alone. In an e-mail Kerber sent out to the team, he said later on he would hire the best candidates as jobs and money become available: “I’d like to avoid any misunderstanding and would appreciate your thoughts about this decision,” he said. “I know at least some of the team has other commitments and/or had different ideas for what the project should be or would have liked to see it go in a different direction but I would really like to stay true to the vision I discussed in the final presentation.” The team has been very understanding, he said. “It’s fine with me,” Reineke
said. “It was his idea. I think he’s probably right for now to work on it alone, there’s not a lot of stuff to do for development.” Other team members felt the same way and felt the company had potential. “I think, at its core, Locusic is a really pure idea and is well poised to fill a gap in the market,” said Matt Crawford, team member. “I’m personally really looking forward to seeing how the idea is executed.” Kerber has not taken a break on Locusic since Startup Weekend ended. “I plan to build a prototype system and get a working product released as soon as possible,” Kerber said. “Related marketing efforts will be focused on the Des Moines metro area to start with. Ultimately, I’d love Locusic to be a household name. I think it could do a lot to help bands and music fans while strengthening local communities in the process.” Currently Kerber is working on cost and revenue projections. “I’m doing additional market research,” Kerber said.
“I’m developing proofs of concept for the various technical aspects of the system. I’m meeting with attorneys and business coaches. I’m talking to local designers, marketers, and developers who I may end up working with. I’m seriously considering looking for outside seed funding so I can get things moving more quickly.” Even though the team is no longer involved in the project, all is not lost for them. “I had a blast at Startup Weekend and would definitely do it again,” said Aaron Hoffman, team member. “For me, Startup Weekend wasn’t ever about quitting my job come Monday, but the experience of creating a product, under pressure, in a weekend, as a team.” Reineke agreed. “I went there with my idea I didn’t know how it would go,” Reineke said. “I knew if people did pick it, it’d be awesome, and if they didn’t, I would still have a good time. We built a business. I learned a lot. I met a lot of cool people.”

Alpha Copies to open second store By Nicole.McIntosh iowastatedaily.com Alpha Copies opened its second location March 14 at 512 E. Lincoln Way. It was formerly Midwest Copies and Printing. The second location will allow Alpha Copies to expand its customer base and offer a convenient second location for its customers. The different locations will offer basically the same services. Having both locations open will make the turnaround even faster for printing jobs. The new location will offer offset printing, which is a service that transfers the ink from plate to blanket to paper instead of directly from plate to paper. It’s an older technology, but it can be more affordable at times. It also allows for easier reprinting for letterheads and other things that are reprinted at home or in the office. Alpha Copies currently does vehicle graphics, but they will be able to expand this department of their store. They can do anything from a simple sign to a full vehicle
wrap. The new location will give them a controlled environment to be able to grow this part of the business. A number of computers are in the stores, with Adobe and Microsoft Word software, to open your projects; they also have an online system to upload your project online and pick up in the store. The online service allows people outside the city of Ames to utilize Alpha Copies. The current location has been a convenient location for students, and the span of hours is compatible with the college lifestyle: open seven days a week. The new location will only be open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., but one of the advantages of Alpha Copies is their free delivery service to anywhere in central Iowa. “We think we have services, pricing and staff that accommodates a lot of different customers’ needs. The one thing we want to make sure is the customer that has a choice between this store and that store misses nothing. They can do the same
thing at either place,” owner John Crawford said. “It’s highly important that our customers can count on either location.” Crawford’s role as manager of the original location will be changing as well. He will be moving into more of a sales and business development role in the company. He has been in the retail and customer-based industries since 1973. Crawford said he would also like to help other similar-sized towns start their own printing shops with local owners that know their towns best. They will provide the tools to get started and call it Alpha Copies but have local ownership. Crawford and his wife opened Alpha Copies in September of 2005. They have grown and expanded the business to offer any kind of solution to printing needs, vehicle signage and outdoor signage. They also started Omega Marketing, which helps with brand identification for needs such as apparel, pens or other merchandise for individuals or businesses. “You would want to be treat-
ed like your customers want to be treated, so make sure you give high integrity in the work that you do, high quality in product, and you are sensitive to customer’s needs,” Crawford said. “That’s probably how our business has grown the best is by sticking to those standards and those beliefs.” Katie VanderLey is an Ames resident with a home business. She has been going to Alpha Copies for the past four years and has relied heavily on them for her printing needs. “I come here all the time to print, whether it’s midnight when my kids go to bed or 7 in the morning,” VanderLey said. “I can e-mail them everything and then run in quick and pick everything up without throwing my kids’ schedule off.” When asked why she doesn’t have her own printer at home, she said the delivery, the quality and especially the customer service keeps her coming back. Alpha Copies will be at the Ames business-to-business expo March 24 and are available online at alphacopies.com

Editorial
Is the US in Libya for the right reason?
It seems inevitable: Each time the United States becomes even tangentially involved in an armed conflict in the Middle East, collegiate and other reliably liberal institutions emerge on the scene with the familiar “No blood for oil” rhetoric. In the wake of Operation Odyssey Dawn such prescripted rhetoric is bound to dominate the long series of sound bytes sure to follow, and we will be tempted to permit these hackneyed arguments to go in one ear and out the other. Oversimplified and biased as such rhetoric may be, and indeed usually is, we would be remiss in dismissing the possibility that the current U.S. military involvement in Libya’s civil war is motivated primarily by economic interests. The narrative of the day, the one from President Obama as well as the U.N. Security Council, is that Odyssey Dawn is a humanitarian mission. Muammar Qaddafi is a monstrous tyrant and unforgivable oppressor, but his government is merely a single member in a sizable club of unapologetically inhumane regimes. Were humanitarian intervention genuinely the principle aim of Sunday’s bombing in Libya, it stands to reason that a similarly severe policy would have been applied to the regimes in Dubai, Sierra Leone, Rwanda and the various other human rights offenders of recent vintage. Moreover, until Qaddafi’s recent inability to guarantee a consistent output from Libya’s oil fields due to the rebel uprising, the Western world did not find him remotely as objectionable. So, other than this hiccup in Libyan oil production, what has changed under the iron fist of Qaddafi’s rule? The shutting-off of utilities in rebel-held areas has been the toe over the line that apparently mandated a military response, but that action is entirely characteristic of a despot whose rule has spanned decades. The chief difference between the previously tolerable Qaddafi regime and the currently intolerable one is opposition, i.e. the rebellion. Perhaps the Western world’s economic interests in maintaining a reliable flow of oil from Libya are compelling enough to justify something like Odyssey Dawn, but that rationale is going to be impossible to gauge if it is not even examined by policymakers. The last thing the U.S. needs right now is an obscure, open-ended involvement in Libya sold to us on dubious grounds. If it truly is in our best interest to be involved in yet another foreign conflict, so be it, but if we accept this “humanitarian mission” narrative at face-value, we may find ourselves collectively wondering why we ever injected ourselves into Libya in the first place as our involvement inexorably deepens.

Put Japan into perspective By Claire.Vriezen iowastatedaily.com
Examine your life in the Midwest, appreciate it
S
ince Japan was hit by the world’s fourth strongest earthquake in more than a century March 11, the headlines have been filled with news of destruction, devastation and death. The 9.0 magnitude earthquake has been followed by tsunamis, aftershock and a climbing body count. The official death toll was reported to be more than 8,000 on Sunday, with more than 12,000 reported missing. This doesn’t even begin to factor in the millions displaced, injured or those unfortunate enough to reside near the nuclear reactors. Looking through the headlines after a major disaster such as this seems to put our lives in blunt perspective. When skimming through the headlines listed at DrudgeReport.com, all but a handful of stories are on some aspect of the crisis in Japan. Other headlines listed, such as “‘Stalker’ seized in Madonna’s mansion,” seem shallow and irrelevant in comparison. The recent unrest in Wisconsin is quickly forgotten. Even turmoil in Egypt has taken a backseat as the world watches Japan fight its way through the aftermath of the quake. Safe in the Midwest, we have little to fear from extreme natural disasters like massive earthquakes or tsunamis. We just have to hope that the Yellowstone caldera doesn’t erupt anytime soon, but otherwise, our worries are limited to mostly floods and tornadoes. While our own natural disasters are lifealtering, and deaths sometimes occur, few of us can begin to comprehend the tragedy that has struck Japan and the Pacific Islands.
>>POLICY.p1 without its safety risks. Coal and natural gas both pose dangers, especially in the form of pollution. Even renewable energy isn’t perfect, but we have not explored its possibilities enough to reduce our reliability on our less efficient options. President Obama has ushered nuclear energy under the umbrella of clean energy, reinforcing his support for nuclear power following the disaster in Japan, but to call nuclear power “clean” is a glaring misnomer. Whether it’s acute radiation syndrome or cancer caused from the ingestion of contaminated food, nuclear disasters are lethal. And they’re far from impossible in the United States. The Indian Point Energy Center, about 30 miles from New York City, has the highest risk rating for earthquake-related damage, according to the U.S. government — and the liner of the plant’s refueling cavity has been leaking since 1993. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the federal agency charged with enforcing the safe operation of U.S. nuclear plants, chose to ignore the problem, according to a recent Union of Concerned Scientists report. That report also noted that at Diablo Canyon, a plant close to four earthquake faults in
Is it because of where we live that we might find the situation hard to take in? This is quite likely. The closest thing I can recall to a Midwest disaster is the Minnesota I-35 bridge collapse in 2007. Though not a natural disaster, 13 people died in the collapse, and for us, it was tragic. Japan, on the other hand, sits right on the borders of three tectonic plates. This makes the country susceptible to frequent earthquakes, the consequences of which are usually tsunamis. There is quite a history of deadly quakes and waves that have taken many lives. To provide a bit of context, in the recent disaster, it would be as if more than half of the ISU campus was gone; either dead or missing, half of us would vanish. I don’t think we can truly understand the comparison. Yes, we may be able to sympathize with those in Japan, but how many of us can empathize with them? Is it because most of us are unable to empathize that we can easily read news story after news story without so much as a tear shed for those in Japan? I know I was able to. I have never had to face the destruction of my home, my city, the death of all my family and friends. It is unimaginable to me. In my bubble of security, I can look at Japan’s headlines and feel sadness for the crisis, but ultimately, I will return to my life and continue living. Joseph Stalin once said, “A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.” To us, our sparse fatalities are tragedies. We can name each person that died and tie them into a community and to a life. However, when the numbers become great, deaths cease to hold personal meaning to the
California, “the reactor operated for nearly 18 months with vital emergency systems disabled.” “What this calls for is a reassessment of what we have regarded as safe in this country,” said Bob Deans, spokesman for the Natural Resources Defense Council, in a CBS News story. “We can’t sit back and be complacent and say, ‘Well, we’re not them.’ No, we are.” The same CBS News story said that of the 104 commercial reactors operating in the U.S., 23 of them are the same aging GE Mark 1 model used at Fukushima. In addition, four reactors are near seismic fault lines in California alone. The effects of a nuclear disaster in the U.S. might not be as catastrophic as the effects Japan faces, but the severity of the situation in Japan is good enough reason to take a close look at the state of power and energy in the U.S. Dennis Chamberlin, assistant professor in the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, spent several days in Japan. He arrived shortly after the quake for a previously planned work trip. Safe from environmental damage, Chamberlin spoke with locals in the city of Nagoya and picked up on several cultural differences. Chamberlin said people initially trusted that the government would take care of the
public. We cannot write about each and every story behind a face. Perhaps we don’t even know who all the faces are. The faces become a number. It is probably a combination of this fact and our own lack of familiarity with true disaster that allows us to read over the headlines and then put them out of sight and mind as we click on an article about the next interesting thing. It is not that we are uncaring or cold-hearted toward those suffering in Japan, it is that we simply cannot find a way to take the situation and put it in the context of our own lives. There is no comparison that we can make to understand Japan’s troubles. Most of us will probably never have a scenario in our lives that will enable us to understand disasters of this magnitude. We should be thankful that we can’t. We remain safe in the central United States. Our worries consist of union rights and education funding. We need not be preoccupied with radiation exposure or total destruction of our cities. But the next time we start to bemoan the state of our lives, let’s put it in perspective. Whenever I start to have a pity party regarding the state of my life, I play the song “Keep’n It Real” by Shaggy. The lyrics I focus on remind me “no matter how you’re sad and blue, there’s always someone who has it worse than you.” My day might have sucked, that test might have gone badly, but when I think about how well off I am compared to some, there is nothing I can complain about. Yes, we may be facing budget cuts at Iowa State and there continue to be tuition increases, but if this is all we can complain about, life isn’t all that bad.
situation; an attitude we would be hard pressed to encounter if a similar situation erupted in the U.S. However, by the end of the week, even the most upbeat people Chamberlin had met were beginning to lose confidence in the government’s ability to handle the nuclear disaster. Japan has no other source of natural energy, Chamberlin said, adding, “The country would collapse if they shut the others [nuclear power plants] down.” No matter how the government ultimately handles it, it’s clear this will have a longstanding economic impact within Japan — and, by extension, globally. Chamberlin said businesses are not notified when they will be hit by Japan’s energy-conserving rolling blackouts, so as a result, many are forced to close indefinitely in anticipation of the power loss. We are fortunate that, in the U.S., we are not forced into this kind of dependence on such a volatile source of energy. However, we are too complacent when it comes to our current energy situation. When Japan announced it would implement rolling blackouts, the blackouts began 12 hours later than scheduled because of citizens’ conservation efforts, Chamberlin said. I find it incredibly unlikely that the same attitude would prevail
in a similar situation in the U.S. People could hardly be bothered to give up their showering routines for a day or two when it flooded in Ames in August. I’m not saying we need to cut down to one shower per week or start doing homework by candlelight, but it’s time for conservation to become less of a scary word in the U.S. And it’s time we become pioneers in renewable energy. Iowa is already first in the nation in its percentage of total electricity produced from wind power, and second in overall wind energy production, according to the American Wind Energy Association and the U.S. Wind Industry Annual Market Report. But why leave it at wind power? The Staples Center in Los Angeles has 1,727 solar panels installed on its rooftop. Why not do the same with Hilton Coliseum or Stephens Auditorium? Iowa State is a university of science and technology, by name. Let’s lead the way in reducing dependence on nuclear power, coal and natural gas, and further the nation down a clean energy path. Now is not the time to push through reactionary legislation. An intelligent conversation and frank debate about this country’s energy sources needs to occur, and the most innovative suggestions should come from the bright scientific minds on this campus.

Controversy
Let us put Obama’s birth issue to rest
By Brandon.Blue iowastatedaily.com
W
hat’s the deal with “birthers”? Suddenly they’re back in the news. Barack Obama played Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” at the Gridiron Club a few weekends ago. He cracked a joke at the White House’s St. Patrick’s Day lunch. Now Donald Trump, in what I perceive to be an attempt at splitting the Republican ticket, has come out with his own uncertainty about Obama’s lieu de naissance. While I do admire the wit with which our commander in chief handles the issue, it should really be addressed once and for all. The pejorative term “birther,” which conjures images of a 9/11 “truther,” is just that: derogatory. Thanks, mainstream media. In the end, both the birthers and the truthers are wasting their time. History has passed them by. Obama was elected president. The Iraq War and the War on Terror are ongoing. Whatever validity their arguments once had, if any at all, are lost. Even so, in these hyper-partisan times, it’s easy to dismiss someone’s point of view just because they inspire in you the same feeling the words “Sarah” and “Palin” do for our liberal friends when they’re juxtaposed. Thanks again mainstream media. For the so-called birthers, there are two unavoidable obstacles. Firstly, the certification of birth provided by Obama’s 2008 campaign is of the type generally accepted by the State Department when applying for a passport. If you need to prove you’re a U.S. citizen, this little sucker will get you through the door. So in my mind, if it’s good enough for the State Department, it’s good enough for me. Secondly, and more toxic to the birthers’ cause, is that on Aug. 31, 1961, a time-traveling intern from Obama’s campaign put a birth announcement in the Honolulu Advertiser. Only it wasn’t a time-traveling intern. And there’s really no sensible conclusion that I can reach as to why someone who knew the Obamas would put a fraudulent one in the paper. So, essentially, a birther would be working against both history and the State Department. I certainly don’t envy their position. The natural question here is: Why? Why are there still people who believe this, given mountainous evidence to the contrary? It all seems to hinge on one little sentence in the U.S. Constitution — Article II, Section I, specifically — that states that no one “except a natural-born Citizen” is eligible for the job. So what could an “unnaturally born” citizen of the United States possibly be? Theodore Olson, former solicitor general, points out that a natural-born citizen is born to two American parents on American soil. Let’s not forget the rumors in 2008 that John McCain was ineligible for the office given his Aug. 29, 1936, birth on a naval base in the Panama Canal Zone, which was at the time controlled by the United States. So, by Olson’s definition, McCain is a natural-born citizen,

and our current president is not. No, I didn’t just come out as a birther. I view the issue thusly: If the Supreme Court were to review the matter, it would be far more likely to specify that one need not be born to two American parents for a natural birth than it would be to depose a sitting president. I assume this because it is not an unnatural occurrence in this country for an immigrant to have a child. As we are all immigrants or descendants of immigrants, I fail to see how it is unreasonable that having a single American parent, as in Obama’s case, would invalidate one’s natural birth. Most optimal would be
a court ruling to determine, once and for all, what are and are not eligible conditions for being a natural-born citizen. All of that being said, one point remains: Questioning the official story is never a bad idea. As Jefferson’s popular attribution goes, “A well-informed citizenry is the only true repository of the public will.” How better to be informed than to question? That’s the entire reasoning behind the Fourth Estate, the press. A healthily skeptical electorate is democracy’s multivitamin. It is only when that skepticism blooms into conspiracy theories that the pill becomes a suppository.

Cyclones fall in first round after another slow start By David.Merrill iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s trip to the NCAA Tournament ended earlier than the team has become accustomed to on Saturday. The No. 7 seed Cyclones fell victim to the No. 10 Red Foxes of Marist, 74-64 in the first round in Durham, N.C. Sophomore center Anna Prins and senior shooting guard Kelsey Bolte led the way for Iowa State (22-11). Prins poured in 25 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Bolte added 18 points, seven rebounds and dished out five assists. Iowa State, as has been true all season long, stumbled in the first half while Marist created some space on the scoreboard via the threepoint shot. The Red Foxes (30-2) shot 41 percent from behind the arc in the first half and took a 40-25 lead into the locker room, but Prins and Bolte led the ISU comeback in the second half. The Cyclones cut the Red Fox lead to six with 4:26 remaining in the second half, but were unable to catch up completely. Rebounding in the second half also gave Iowa State a chance at the end. The Cyclones grabbed 17 offensive rebounds to Marist’s four and out-rebounded them 48-29 over the course of the game. Forward Katie Oliver led Marist with 16 points and grabbed five boards, but she had plenty of help. Marist had five scorers in double figures. Guard Elise Caron and forward Brandy Gang shot 3-4 from 3-point range. The Red Foxes extended their winning streak to 27 games in a row, while Iowa State was eliminated in the first round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. Bolte’s 18 points in the loss gave her 1,639 career points, good for sixth all-time at Iowa State. This is the earliest exit the senior has faced during her time at Iowa State. Prins and Bolte put up strong scoring numbers, but didn’t receive enough assistance from teammates scoring. Chelsea Poppens was the only other Cyclone adding more than five points, finishing with seven points and 12 rebounds, including nine on the offensive end. Marist, a small liberal arts college from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., committed just seven turnovers in the game and added 21 assists. The Cyclones gave the ball away more than they used it to assist a score, with 17 total turnovers. “The better team won the game,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly in a statement from the postgame news conference.

PHILADELPHIA — Jon Reader’s final stand was made at the top of the podium Saturday night. Iowa State’s senior wrestler won the 174-pound title at the NCAA Championships, defeating Stanford’s Nick Amuchastegui in a 10-3 decision, to finish off his perfect season and become the 68th national champion in ISU history. “I don’t like giving guys breaks, I wanted to be in his face,” said Reader, who is the 11th national champion for Iowa State in the past decade. “Last night I was disappointed with the way I performed. I was a little anxious and excited to wrestle, but I came out tonight and made Iowa State proud.” Reader’s title comes as redemption one year after losing in the first round and falling one match shy of All-America status in the wrestlebacks at 165 pounds of the national tournament. “I had an embarrassing tournament last year,” Reader said. “But this year I spent a lot of time with the Paulson’s and coach [Kevin] Jackson this summer just really sharpening my skills.” For a team that was going through a major rebuilding year, Reader was the epitome of the coachable athlete for Jackson and his staff. “You just can’t ask for a better kid,” said former ISU wrestler Travis Paulson, one of Reader’s training partners and mentors. “He does everything right, gets enough sleep every night, isn’t going out partying, he just lives the lifestyle. And when you do that, you’re going to improve the way he does.” Reader is now Jackson’s third NCAA champion after Jake Varner and David Zabriskie captured titles at 197 and heavyweight to cap off a third-place finish at last season’s tournament. Finishing his senior campaign 39-0 drives Reader’s career record to 124-23, tying him with Jim Gibbons for eighth in all-time victories in ISU history. “I think it’s great when you get guys that are on top of the podium,” Reader said. “We were

Cyclones falter early, PSU tops ISU struggles as Sanderson’s squad shines By Jake.Calhoun iowastatedaily.com PHILADELPHIA — After sending the maximum 10 wrestlers to the NCAA Championships for four straight years as the only team to do so, Iowa State traveled to this year’s tournament with lighter luggage. The Cyclones lost its three All-Americans from 2010 and qualified only five wrestlers for this year’s national tournament, which was at the Wells Fargo Center in Southern Philadelphia. Penn State won its second Division I wrestling title and first since 1953 as it had three wrestlers — Frank Molinaro (149), David Taylor (157) and Quentin Wright (184) — in the finals, one of whom won. “I’m really, really proud of these guys,” said PSU coach Cael Sanderson, who previously coached at Iowa State for three
seasons. “It’s just a gutsy performance from some real tough kids. And that’s what it takes, it’s ups and downs.” Cornell, which began the season ranked No. 1 in the nation, finished second with 93.5 points, while Iowa saw its three-season streak of winning the national title come to an end as it placed third with 86.5 points and failed to produce a single national champion for the first time since 2006. Senior Jon Reader, who was the No. 1 seed at 174 pounds, was crowned national champion at that weight and was also the only All-American for the Cyclones. This was the first year Iowa State had had only one All-American since 1953 when Bob Wirds took third at 177 pounds, and was also the first time since 1948 when Iowa State had one All-American who won a national title when Glen Brand won it at 174 pounds. Both those years, the tournament was held in Bethlehem, Pa., and State College, Pa.

Team sweeps Wichita State, games canceled
IA • (5
By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com The ISU softball team improved to 14-8 last week, before having their next seven games canceled due to weather. The Cyclones traveled to Wichita, Kan., to play a trio of games against the Wichita State Shockers over a twoday stretch March 12 and 13. “I thought we played well, and we were consistent in areas that we haven’t been recently,” said ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler. “It was a really good opportunity to get some people more experience,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. The Cyclones run-ruled the Shockers on March 12 in five innings in the first game of the series with a 10-2 victory. Rachel Zabriskie got the start for the Cyclones and dominated in her four innings of work, giving up no runs on just three hits before being relieved by Lauren Kennewell. The Cyclone offense manufactured those 10 runs on seven hits as six different players got hits, led by designated hitter Tori Torrescano. Torrescano went 2-for-3 at the plate, scoring two runs. The second game of the day found the Cyclones needing a five-run seventh inning to solidify a 10-5 victory. Kennewell got the start for the Cyclones, giving up one run on seven hits before being relieved in the fourth inning by Bree Holliday, who was later relieved by Zabriskie for the final two innings. Heidi Kidwell had a big game on offense for the Cyclones, going 3-for-4 at the plate with five RBIs, while also scoring a pair of runs herself. Freshman Kelsey Enslin got her first two hits of the season, while getting her second start in left field. Enslin is one of several inexperienced players who will be competing for starting

positions in the outfield after starters Carleigh Berry and Bianca Lopez were dismissed from the team last week for violating team policy. The Cyclones completed the series sweep of Wichita State on Sunday with a 7-2 victory in which freshmen Enslin and Sara Davison each hit for two RBIs. A doubleheader against the University of Kansas City-Missouri was cancelled Monday due to rain.
The Cyclones then returned home for some practice before leaving Thursday for the Louisville Slugger Classic in Stanford, Calif. The tournament was eventually called off after rain prevented any games on Friday or Saturday. The Cyclones will be back in action Tuesday with a doubleheader at home against Creighton. The first pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Southwest Athletic Complex.

victory of the day. Espinosa said she was more determined to win because she has played Constantinescu every year she has been at Iowa State. “I thought that she believed a little bit more that she could win and certainly play to that level and she did,” Espinosa said. The Cyclones dropped all three doubles sets, 8-7, 8-5 and 8-0. In the No. 1 match, Espinosa said they were down quite a bit and fought their way back, and it came down to a tiebreaker. “We had our chances, we just didn’t finish there,” Espinosa said. The Cyclones have two Big 12 road meets this week: at Missouri on Friday and at Colorado on Sunday. The team’s next home meet is April 1 against Kansas.

Belova and Meghoufel in a 9-7 decision and also the tiebreaker in a 10-8 decision. “We’ve won a lot of doubles points lately,” Espinosa said. “It came down to the wire, and we were just a little bit tougher than they were.” Espinosa said they had the momentum after winning the No. 1 doubles match. The weather was chilly and breezy Saturday when the Cyclones took on Oklahoma. This was the Cyclones’ first home match outdoors this season. “It’s kind of a neutralizer for everybody,” Espinosa said. “Unfortunately it didn’t work that way. They were a lot more prepared than we were playing outdoors.” Karonis defeated AnaMaria Constantinescu from Oklahoma 6-2, 6-2 at No. 1. This was the Cyclones’ only

The ISU tennis team started conference play this weekend with losses to Oklahoma State and No. 19 Oklahoma. They were defeated by Oklahoma State (4-7, 1-0 Big 12) 5-2 and Oklahoma (11-2, 3-0 Big 12) 6-1. Junior Maria Macedo defeated Sasha Belova from Oklahoma State 6-0, 6-4 at the No. 2 spot Friday. “She’s been pretty solid all year,” said ISU coach Armando Espinosa. “The fact that she was able to close the match against Oklahoma State that fast on Friday was a good momentum boost at that point. Unfortunately, we were not able to capitalize on it.” That was the Cyclones’ only singles win against the Cowgirls. Senior cocaptain Erin Karonis was defeated by Nataliya Shatkovskaya in a long match 7-5, 4-6, 6-1. The Cyclones did capture two doubles victories against the Cowgirls. Junior Tessa Lang and Macedo defeated Kanyapat Narattana and Shatkovskaya in a 9-7 decision. Karonis and sophomore Simona Cacciuttolo defeated

He then lost a close match to No. 6 Micah Burak of Penn, 2-1, to drop to the consolation bracket. In his first match after the loss, Ward utilized a deceptive single-leg attack to defeat North Carolina’s Zac Bennett by a 14-5 major decision to advance. After advancing and earning his second victory of the year against Boston’s John Hall in the next round, Ward only needed to beat Iowa’s Luke Lofthouse for a second time this season to earn All-America status. However, Ward fell in a 3-1 decision to Lofthouse, failing to execute an attack until the third period’s final minute, which went for naught as the clock expired to end the Evergreen Park, Ill., native’s junior season.

In the match, Simonson was beaten by No. 7 Rasing again by the same score to drop to the consolation bracket.

Water Day. The money raised will support two water wells which will then supply about 8,000 people with fresh water in India, Beresnev said. Engineers for a Sustainable World hopes to host a water walk some time this week, and have students carry water jugs for a certain distance; an awareness toward the struggle to collect fresh water. “We’re so privileged, particularly here in Iowa, in that we really don’t have to worry about turning on our facets in the morning and having water come out and for that to be clean water that we can drink,” said Merry Rankin, adviser of Engineers for a Sustainable World and ISU director of sustainability. “Unfortunately, even farther places in the U.S., and certainly places around the world, there’s not an adequate supply on an ongoing basis or a clean supply that everyone can be assured of,” she said. Raising awareness as Rankin stresses is an important motive for Engineers for a Sustainable World, including possibly the showing of a documentary about World Water Day. “This group has been engaged in bringing awareness and even looking for ways to bring resources domestically and even internationally in many different ways,” Rankin said.
standing with Republicans and basically, we’re out there to let people know there are actually Republicans on university campuses.” Similar to the ISU Democrats, the ISU College Republicans also focus on elections, work with Republican candidates and host speeches and workshops at the school. This semester, ISU College Republicans will also host the conservative coming-out week. There will be a different event every day, from hearing politicians speak to a barbecue. The ISU Libertarians is the last group advocating for a certain political party on campus, working to educate students on what exactly it means to be a Libertarian. They also sponsor talks with people such as Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico, and help promote Libertarian candidates on the ISU campus. The group is also planning to participate in First Amendment Day activities by setting up a deficit clock to show how much the debt is increasing. But being involved in a political group on campus doesn’t mean a student has to associate with a party. There are also several groups on campus that endorse a certain cause or issue that it feels is important. The Vagina Warriors is a group that promotes women’s equality through involvement in such events like The Vagina Monologues, which in the past, has been its main event. This semester the group is hoping to revamp and be-
gin hosting and participating in more events such as No-Makeup Mondays, Ask a Feminist Booth and Take Back the Night in April. The group is also looking to publish a magazine soon that wants to redefine the standards of beauty. UNICEF @ ISU is an organization whose goals are to advocate, educate and fundraise on behalf of UNICEF, which is a national organization headquartered in New York. Each semester, the group decides on an issue to focus on, and this year that focus has been water sanitation. So far, its members have raised money for the wash fund and sponsored an awareness event. Students involved in the club may also get an important opportunity to participate in a leadership conference at the headquarters in New York, which is scheduled for October. MEDLIFE ISU is a newer organization on campus that is a part of a national organization that started five years ago. “We want to get the message across that there are people in need in the world,” said Eduardo Maldonado, president of MEDLIFE and junior in biochemistry. “We essentially want to slap people in the face with a cold, hard dose of reality.” This is a group for everyone to join, but is especially appealing to students looking at medical school after Iowa State because MEDLIFE examines how medicine is used globally, particularly in South America. Another fairly new organization on campus is Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. The group’s primary func-

tion is “to raise awareness and advocate for people who are licensed by the state of Iowa to be allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus for their protection,” according to its constitution. For students who want to be more environmentally active, ActivUS encourages both the administration and students to become more sustainable through two grassroots campaigns per year. This year, those campaigns include Beyond Coal, advocating the phasing out of burning coal at the campus coal plant, and Beyond Plastic, promoting the reduction of plastic consumption on campus. ISU Students for Life is an issue advocacy organization on campus promoting “the sanctity of human life,” according to its constitution found online. The group provides the information regarding such issues as abortion to students so they can become more educated and make a decision on his or her own. “It has helped in finding a purpose in my life,” said

Rachel Peller, president of ISU Students for Life and junior in women’s studies. “It gives more value to what I’m doing here rather than just going to class, because you are actively trying to make peoples’ lives better.” The One Campaign aims to fight extreme poverty and preventable diseases, predominantly in developing countries through political advocacy, fundraising and awareness. The group has raised both awareness and funds for the
national organization through events such as a benefit concerts. “If students are going to be good global citizens, they have to know about these issues, whatever their political background or whatever their belief system is, they need to know about the various issues that impact them,” said Shelley Taylor, the faculty adviser for The One Campaign and program coordinator of the global agriculture program. “Joining a club is a great way to do that.”
