“Two teams that just hung around, persevered, waited for the opportunity to win a football game. No. 20 decided to go win the football game.” — Paul Rhoads

IOWA CITY, Iowa — With enough drama and anxiety to inundate and captivate an entire state, Jake Knott made a statement. With the Hawkeyes threatening to take the lead with one minute until the end of regulation, Knott, a senior ISU linebacker, picked off James Vandenberg to put the icing on the cake of a 9-6 CyHawk victory for Iowa State — its first since 2002 — on Saturday. “Who knows how high he

Lecture: Video games dissected into ‘5 Dimensions’ On Monday, Douglas Gentile, associate professor of psychology, will discuss the effects of video games on child development. The lecture called “The Five Dimensions of Video Game Effects on Players,” will take place at 7 p.m. in the Gold Room of Ames’ Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. Gentile believes his research will “allow people to get beyond the typical ‘good–bad’ dichotomous thinking ... to provide testable hypotheses for future research.”
Expert challenges Congress election modern teaching in hands of Ames By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com Every student at Iowa State has had the obligation of sitting or sleeping through a large lecture class. That is just part of college. For years, college education technique consisted of the “teacher-sponge” method where a professor would stand in front of a class, speak for an hour or so, and expect the audience to cling to every word. Students were the sponges of information consumption, assumed to absorb all the information thrown at them during lecture. This digital day in age, however, possesses new prospects for learners to participate in class promoting production. This is the point that Andrea Lunsford, Director of the Program in Writing and Rhetoric at Stanford University, was determined to emphasize at her presentation “Teaching in the Digital Age: What’s Collaboration Got to Do With It?” As a part of the 2012 Goldtrap

This year’s race to Congress between Christie Vilsack and Steve King could be decided by college students in Ames. “There was a political scientist from Drake University who was recorded in a National Public Radio series, and he said Story County, and specifically the college town of Ames, could determine the outcome of the race,” said Madeline Becker, senior in political science and the president of Cyclones for Vilsack. The fight for the 4th district in Iowa is starting to heat up as the two candidates take to debates. Their policies showcase the different directions they feel Iowa and the country need to go. “Iowa State has some of the highest debt in the country, and Congressman King has supported cutting programs that would help keep education more affordable,”
Becker said. “For example, he supported the Ryan budget, which would cut Pell Grants for students already struggling to pay for school, where Christie has promised to support the Pell Grants and has also pledged to stand by all measures that would make college payment more affordable to all struggling students.” While King does want to cut Pell Grants in the budget of Mitt Romney’s running mate Paul Ryan, he feels the best way to help college students is after graduation. “The biggest thing to help students pay off their debt is to find and create jobs,” said Jimmy Center, the communications director for Steve King for Congress. King plans on doing this through a four-point plan. “The first point would be the 100 percent repeal of Obamacare,”
