TV shows
Escapist fun for the collegiate crowd By Stephen.Koenigsfeld iowastatedaily.com TV shows have many different types of genres and categories. One specific genre is that of the college-based show. Whether they are dramas like “90210” or comedies like “Community,” college shows are all over TV networks. Below is a list of the most recent and popular college-related TV shows:
1. Community
In this quippy television series, a group of community college students are brought together by their study group. All hope to pass their classes and move on with their lives. These characters come from all different points in a spectrum. Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) is an imaginative lawyer who

This TV series is set on the fictional campus of CyprusRhodes University, located in Ohio. Siblings Rusty and Casey Cartwright are the show’s main characters. The series followed Casey and Rusty as they navigated their way through college and the greek system. First aired in July 2007, “Greek” concluded its fourth and final season earlier this spring. The show’s title pretty much says it all. If you’re looking for a silly perspective on the greek system, this show might be for you.

When this series began, it focused on students attending a fictional high school called West Beverly Hills High. The series began with Harry Wilson (Rob Estes), father of Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Dixon Wilson (Tristan Wilds) moving from Kansas to Beverly Hills. Annie and Dixon attended West Beverly Hills High and met several interesting characters. The rest of the series followed these characters as they dealt with high school problems. In the upcoming season, the students will transition to college.

“Hellcats” is a series about collegiate cheerleading. The show is based on the book “Cheer: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders” by Kate Torgovnick. Marti Perkins (Aly Michalka) is the show’s

College in the movies
By Stephen.Koenigsfeld iowastatedaily.com Throughout the decades, movies have been based on many things. From your horror zombie films to your sweet innocent chick flicks, the film industry does quite the job of representing each individual genre. One genre that appeals to a lot of movie fanatics is the college film. Most college films are comedies like “National Lampoon’s Animal House” or “Accepted.” Some, however, can be dramatic like “The Paper Chase” or “Wonder Boys.” Here are five of my favorite college-related movies:
1. Rudy I like to think this drama is perfect for those students entering college believing that their goals of becoming professional football players or NASA engineers are unthinkable. This movie insists that nothing is impossible. “Rudy” is the fact-based story of Rudy Ruettiger. Rudy has the dream of playing for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. However, money problems obtrude, and Rudy’s father can’t afford to send him to Notre Dame. In his junior year, Rudy transfers to Notre Dame and starts working as an assistant groundskeeper for the football team. Does Rudy have what it takes to become a true Fighting Irish player?
2. Accepted
4. House Bunny
This movie is easy to relate to if you were rejected by your first- or even second-choice college. I hope none of you have been denied as many times as Bartleby Gaines, the main character in this film. Bartleby (Justin Long) and his slacker classmates invent a college called South Harmon Institute of Technology to fool their parents into thinking they made it into a prestigious university. The problem that arises in this college comedy is that the band of young rejects attract other college rejects to their pseudo-university.
This comedy is about a sorority house on the brink of losing its chapter status. When it seems all hope is lost for the Zeta Alpha Zeta sisters (Emma Stone, Kat Dennings, Katharine McPhee, Rumer Willis), along comes former Playboy model Shelley Darlington (Anna Faris.) In order to attract new pledges for the sorority, Shelley gives all the sisters beauty makeovers. In return, the sisters donate their expertise in compassion and confidence so Shelley can win over her dream guy.
3. Wonder Boys
5. Old School
In this feel-good drama, Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas) must overcome his struggles with writer’s block, as well as the other trials he faces. Tripp must deal with one of his younger students (Tobey Maguire), as he surpasses him in the writing world. While dealing with all of this, Tripp must handle an affair and parry the advances of another younger student (Katie Holmes.)
With an all-star cast of Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Willson, “Old School” is the movie for all the graduates that never grew out of the hard-partying lifestyle of college. In this somewhat crude comedy, Ferrell and the gang relive the glory days of being in college. The band of middle-aged men creates their very own fraternity and draw in others with their wild ways. This is a movie you can watch over and over, and it never gets less funny.

Bookend your summer with some
great reads
By Katherine.Klingseis iowastatedaily.com Summer is winding down, and the beginning of the fall semester is so close you can almost smell the scent of dry-erase markers in the air. You have only a few precious weeks of freedom left, and you want to make them count. To beat the heat, but still savor the last few weeks of summer, grab a book. Let a book transport you to another place or time — perhaps a place where it’s not so hot and a time when school is not a few weeks away. In no particular order, here are five books to help you end your summer the right way.
“The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald
It’s likely you have either read or heard about “The Great Gatsby.” If you’re not familiar with it, to sum the book up in a few words, “The Great Gatsby” is about love, money and betrayal. The novel is set in New York City during the Jazz Age. The story begins with Nick Carraway, the narrator, moving to the West Egg district of Long Island to break into the bond business. His house is right next to a mansion owned by the mysPhoto courtesy of Scribner terious Jay Gatsby. Carraway’s cousin, Daisy Buchanan, lives with her husband in East Egg, the adjacent district. Through Carraway’s naïve, innocent eyes, Fitzgerald weaves a tale of corruption and greed, which ends in tragedy. He includes no dragons, wizards or vampires, but with interesting, complex characters and strong narration, Fitzgerald keeps his readers turning page after page of his novel.
“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” by Truman Capote
Photo courtesy of Random House
When someone says “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” an image of Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly will appear in many people’s minds. The film is based on Truman Capote’s novel of the same name. Though the both the movie and the book are marvelous, I prefer the book. Truman Capote’s “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” tells the story of a man, the unnamed narrator, who develops a friendship with New York socialite Holly Golightly. Golightly is a glamorous, confi-
dent woman on the outside, but a confused, lost girl on the inside. Throughout the story, the narrator starts scraping away Golightly’s strong front. The relationship between the narrator and Golightly is what really makes “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” the powerful book that it is. Though the narrator and Golightly are romantically involved in the film version, they aren’t in the book. And that’s what makes the book better than the movie. In both the movie and the book, Golightly has many romantic partners, but she never really develops deep feelings for any of them. At the end, although it is never explicitly stated, you can tell that she does have feelings for the narrator, and it’s quite obvious that he reciprocates those feelings.
“Dear John” by Nicholas Sparks
Nicholas Sparks knows how to write popular romance novels. He has written “The Notebook,” “Message in a Bottle,” “Nights in Rodanthe,” “A Walk to Remember” and “The Last Song,” all of which have been made into movies. My favorite novel he has written is “Dear John,” which was made into a film. “Dear John” is narrated by Photo courtesy of Warner John Tyree, a rebellious man Books from North Carolina. When the novel begins, Tyree is on leave from the army at his home in North Carolina. While on a beach, Tyree meets Savannah Curtis, a young woman who is in his state doing mission work.Tyree and Curtis eventually fall in love, but Tyree has to leave in order to finish his tour of duty. When he returns home, he’s soon forced to leave again when planes strike the Twin Towers. Throughout the ordeal, Tyree and Curtis communicate through letters. In large part, these letters are what keep John fighting. While the relationship between Tyree and Curtis is interesting and captivating, the relationship between Tyree and his father is what makes “Dear John” better than any other run-ofthe-mill romance novel. Tyree’s father has an undiagnosed case of Asperger’s syndrome, a disorder that makes it difficult for sufferers to communicate and empathize with others. Due to his father’s disorder, Tyree finds it difficult to understand him. It is heart-rending to read about how both men want to express their love to one another, but are unable to. The delicacy with which Sparks renders their relationship makes “Dear John” worthy of a spot on this list.

“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson
>>BOOKS.p14 “Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger
“Catcher in the Rye” is about Holden Caulfield, a young man who is terrified of growing up. Of course, he has no idea that he has this fear. Instead of trying to make his fear subside, he rebels against everything and everyone. The novel is narrated by Caulfield, but he tells his story sometime after the events in it take place. The story he tells begins with him attending a prep school. However, he is expelled from the school. Photo courtesy of Little, Brown Caulfield decides to explore and Company Manhattan before returning home. While on his journey, he desperately wants to have sex. When he hires a prostitute for this purpose, he becomes uncomfortable and tells her to leave. “Catcher in the Rye” is about a young man who is caught between adolescence and adulthood. He is interested in becoming an adult, but he is also terrified of everything that comes with adulthood. As college students, we are on the brink of adulthood, and many of us share his fears.
The first installment of a trilogy, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” by Swedish author Stieg Larsson is a suspenseful thriller that takes its readers on a raw, uncensored journey through a world of violence and corruption. “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” tells the story of Mikael Blomkvist, publisher of the political magazine “Millennium,” and his attempts to restore his credibility after losing a libel Photo Courtesy of Alfred A. Knopf case against a rich industrialist. When a rich CEO of a company asks him to find out who killed his niece, Harriet, Blomkvist begins investigating her death. Throughout his investigation, Blomkvist is assisted by super hacker, Lisbeth Salander, who is the girl with the dragon tattoo. Salander’s appealing boldness is one reason Larsson’s trilogy has done so well. We learn that when Salander was 12 years old, she set her father on fire after seeing him beating her mother. Because of her traumatic past, Salander developed a tough, antisocial personality. Although Blomkvist is the main character in the beginning of the book, Salander quickly outshines him, becoming the novel’s undisputed star.

Young backs vie to fill Robinson’s shoes
Johnson, Woody likely to split backfield carries By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com
While much of the buzz around the ISU football team centers around the Woody quarterback position, whoever gets the carries out of the backfield may hold just as much of the team’s Johnson fate in his hands. Alexander Robinson, the fourth leading rusher in school history and the man affectionately known to Cyclone fans as “A-Rob,” left some big shoes in the backfield to fill when he graduated. Sophomores Shontrelle Johnson and Jeff Woody look like the leading candidates to inherit some of Robinson’s carries. “Everyone wants carries but the thing that matters more is, how are we going to get wins?” Woody said. As far as running backs go, these two could not be much different in terms of running style and what they each bring to the table. Johnson, a 5-foot-9, 187-pound speedster from DeLand, Fla., relies on his ability to make quick cuts and his breakaway speed. He has carried the ball 35 times as a Cyclone for 218 yards and two touchdowns, while also averaging 23.4 yards on 25 kick returns last season. Johnson was also named a fourth-team All-Big 12 unit

kick returner. On the other hand, Woody, a Pleasant Hill native, is a 6-foot, 235-pound bruiser who can pick up tough, physical yards for Paul Rhoads’ offense. He ran for 191 yards and a touchdown last year, while earning an average of 4.1 yards per carry . “You just have to work with what you’re given and try to develop those skills,” Woody
said. “My skill set kind of dictates that this is what I do, and I work on developing other skills to complement that as a counter-move to the ‘straight crash’ style.” The players different styles may dictate which one of them gets the carries in certain games, “If it happens that in one game Shontrelle gets 30 carries and we win, and I get none,

to me it’s a W,” Woody said. “And vice versa, if I get 30 and he gets none, it doesn’t matter as long as we win.”

Volleyball
Team hopes to bounce back, improve By Brian.Spaen iowastatedaily.com Last season ended with heartbreak after the Cyclones lost a five-set game to Creighton in the NCAA tournament. Members of Iowa State’s volleyball team will try to rebound and continue their success this season. The Cyclones went 20-9 overall last season while going 13-7 in the Big 12 conference. The American Volleyball Coaches Association had Iowa State ranked ninth overall in the nation when the season began. The team fell to 16th going into the postseason. In the final poll, it dropped to 25th after losing to Creighton in the first round in Minnesota.

Softball
Young team battles in tough Big 12 Zabriskie’s graduation lets fresh players shine
By Darrin.Cline iowastatedaily.com The 2011 season marked the end of one of the greatest softball careers in ISU history. The growing legacy of Rachel Zabriskie lit up a season of broken records and ever-apparent potential. “She allowed me to be better,” said catcher Amandine Habben. “Her confidence, her swagger and her approach to the game allowed me to do what I do. It was really nice to be able to catch for her.” Zabriskie continued her crusade through the Iowa State and Big 12 record books. Her 14-18 record belies an eye-popping stat that has become the trademark of her skills. Following four dominating seasons at Iowa State, Zabriskie now ranks 10th in the Big 12 all-time standings, with 815 strikeouts. Her appearances in 38 of her team’s 49 games last season catapulted her to seventh in appearances in conference history. While the season may have ended with a 21-28 record and only three victories in conference play, the team found building blocks that can be used going forward. “It’s pretty cool to see how much we progressed. You don’t want to admit it but we are a pretty young team,” Habben said. “We had 11 freshmen — and a lot them playing a big role on our team. We played our best competition at the end of the season and we hung right with them so that’s good to see.” The strength of the Big 12 showed throughout the spring. Seemingly every time the Cyclones took to the field, they were playing a ranked opponent. Seven of the 10 conference programs finished the year ranked in the top 25, with Baylor, Missouri, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State qualifying for the College World Series. “People always talk about the Pac 10 and how the SEC is up-and-coming. People thought the Big 12 was falling off the radar and this year it showed that we are a tough conference,” said Cyclone pitcher Lauren Kennewell. The power hitters often stole the head-

lines for the squad this season, and with good reason. First basewoman Erica Miller and designated hitter/outfielder Tori Torrescano had an unofficial longball contest that propelled both to the top of the stat books. “I don’t think people realize that we broke or tied six offensive records and we only played 49 games,” Habben said. “We had Tori and Erica battling for home runs. Give us seven more games [and] I know they would have broke more records easily.” Both California crushers ended the 2011 campaign with 11 dingers apiece. Miller led the team in RBI’s with 40. While Miller and Torrescano topped the power categories, the quick feet of Heidi Kidwell contributed just as much to their team’s offensive output. Kidwell and Torrescano both tallied 51 runs, with Kidwell leading the team with 34 runs. Kidwell stole 15 bases last season — a higher total than that of all her teammates combined

Zabriskie being the lone senior on the team, younger players were thrown into the fire and asked to perform. Though this trial by fire may have caused a few reverses this season, the team is hoping the experience will pay off in future seasons. “I’m just excited for next year. We have a lot of players coming in, and our now-sophomores will still be young, but they know what the Big 12 is all about,” Kennewell said. Despite the hardships and obstacles of a losing season, the optimism of the players gleamed until the final inning. An all-time Iowa State great may be gone, but the remaining Cyclones are set to follow her example and blaze their own paths to greatness.

Soccer
After strong season, ISU sets sights high By Darrin.Cline iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s program is not known as a soccer dynasty. It has only been around since 1996, and has only turned in five winning seasons up to the present. However, the 2011-2012 squad will be fueled by young blood, and its members are ready to strike in the Big 12. “We ended off the spring season really well. We had some good wins and we all improved quite a bit. I feel like for this upcoming fall it’s only going to continue, and [we’ll] definitely get more wins and get to the Big 12 tournament,” said forward Jennifer Dominguez. The Cyclones, who went 8-10-2 overall and 3-7-0 in Big 12 play last season, will return their top five goal scorers. Emily Goldstein, a sophomore from Orange County, Calif., made the most of her first year on campus. Goldstein led the team with six goals
and 17 total points. Goldstein and her fellow first-year teammates pleasantly surprised coach Wendy Dillinger and her staff. Brittany Morgan, Theresa Kucera, Caitlin Graboski and Dominguez rounded out the ranks of the top five scorers. All will be returning this season. “It’s really positive, because we know that in years to come we will continue to get better because we still have those scorers coming in,” said sophomore midfielder Graboski. “That’s why it’s good for this year, because they are sophomores and juniors, so then we will still have them for next year.” Netminder Maddie Jobe will also be returning to the goalie box. Jobe, a former Minnesota Ms. Soccer, started in seven of the team’s eight wins, allowing opponents an averge of 1.54 goals. Inconsistency on both ends of the pitch kept the Cyclone women from adding games to the win column. Overall, the
SOCCER.p34 >>
squad allowed 1.4 goals per game, while only retaliating with 1.3 on the season. Heading into conference play, the Dillinger’s team had a 5-3-2 record. Once Big 12 games began, Iowa State fell in seven of its first eight games, before turning the tide and winning its last two. Graboski points to the team’s youth as a possible explanation, but not something it can use as an excuse going forward. Graboski and her cohorts stood at the bottom of the Big 12 in nearly every statistical category. However, the two-game win streak at the end of last season gave the women momentum they aim to carry into the coming season. “I would say the biggest goal is to get into the playoffs and not be on the edge like we were last year,” Graboski said. “We will definitely get in and not be done so early.” Adding to this fury will be a full crop of talented freshmen. There are 11 rookies who have been added to the roster. The class is highlighted by three Iowa preps,

Track and Field
Young sprinters blaze with potential By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com Edward Kemboi and Dani Stack electrified the final month of the 2011 ISU outdoor track and field season. At just 17 years of age, Kemboi, a freshman, placed fifth in the 800-meter run at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. The top-eight finish earned him a spot as an All-American in the event, though he participated in it after less than a year of collegiate competition. “Physically, I was feeling good,” Kemboi said. “But I missed making my move at the 600-meter mark and couldn’t catch up in time. It was a very fast race, and I’m very happy with fifth.” Kemboi also ran a school record time of 1 minute and 46.06 seconds in the NCAA semifinals, breaking David Korir’s 1980 record of 1:46.3. “He was aggressive and he went after it,” said ISU track and field coach Corey Ihmels after Kemboi ran in the NCAA
finals. “That’s going to pay dividends in a couple years when he gets a little stronger, a little older [and] a little more mature.” Kemboi believes there is even room for improvement, as he is still learning to become an 800-meter runner. Before coming to Iowa State in January, Kemboi was a 400-meter runner who often practiced at an airstrip near his hometown of Eldoret, Kenya. “I’m excited about what he can do the next three or four years,” Ihmels said. Stack, a sophomore, also left the NCAA championships with her first AllAmerican honors in the 10,000-meter run. She earned a fourth-place finish. Running alongside fellow Cyclone Betsy Saina, Stack flirted with taking the top spot for much of the race. When Saina dropped out of the race with 2,000 meters remaining, Stack made a move and led the field with 600 meters to go. “It was kind of a surreal experience, leading a group of such talented runners,”

Stack said. After a huge final kick by Duke’s Juliet Bottorff that broke the field wide open, Stack held on for fourth, clocking a time of 34:32.38. Stack also competed in the U.S. Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore. Finishing 12th with a time of 33:04.17, Stack was the first collegiate runner to cross the finish line.

Runners hope to become NCAA champs By Brian.Spaen iowastatedaily.com It was a season of ups and downs for the men’s cross country team last year. Today, members try to build on their lateseason success in 2010-2011 and make it to the NCAA Championships in the coming season. One of the athletes on the team, Josh Heitkamp, participated in a few events last season (his freshman year on the team), but was injured through most of the season. He shared in his teammates’ disappointment about not making nationals — especially after nearly qualifying for them during the regionals. “We ended up being two spots away from making it to nationals,” Heitkamp said. “Towards the end of the season we were getting better.” Heitkamp plans to have a healthier season this year. He has already had some experience on the college level and will continue to

Jenson and junior middle blocker Jamie Straube. Jenson is a solid all-around player. She had 319 kills last season, earning herself an average of about three kills a set. She also had one of the highest serve percentages, at 92.9 percent with 24 aces. Straube, a solid middle blocker, is also returning. She had a total of 110 blocks last season, including 16 of the team’s 41 solo blocks. Hahn will undoubtedly add to effectiveness of her team’s defense. “A few of my strengths are reading the hitters defensively, communicating and playing with pressure,” Hahn said. Looking ahead at the schedule, the non-conference slate is solid. The team will face a tough opener against Cincinnati on a neutral court. Before the Big 12 season begins, it will play a tough five-game stretch all on the road. Opponents during this stretch will include Florida (which lost only two matches last year), North Dakota State, Northern Iowa (which finished 14th in the AVCA rankings) and national powerhouse Nebraska (which is no longer on the conference slate).
This season Rico Loy and Martin Coolidge will be runners to focus on as well. Loy, a sophomore last season, just missed nationals by one place. Coolidge was his team’s top freshman runner last season. Heitkamp said head coach Corey Imhels expects the team to be a top 10 contender. The team generally had younger members last year; they will bring a lot more experience to bear on their races in the coming season.
The women’s team will also try to build on its success from last season. During the season, the women’s team never finished below third place in its events. It finished in first place in the NCAA Midwest Regional and gained an automatic bid for the NCAA Championships. They would eventually finish in eighth place as a team. Imhels said the women’s performance at regionals may have been the best he’s seen at Iowa State. The average age of members of women’s team was lower last year.

Choose the right workout site By Lea.Petersen iowastatedaily.com
When it comes to working out, most students have a routine: Workout clothes? Check. Workout shoes? Check. However, the location of your workout is just as important. Panteleimon Ekkekakis, associate professor of kinesiology, explained that while the venue of a student’s workout is purely a personal choice, both working out in a gym and exercising outdoors have their benefits and costs.
Outdoors Positives:
While indoor gyms offer climate-control, outdoor workout sites offer changes of scenery. Photo courtesy of Thinkstock
* More opportunity for attentional distraction * Scenery changes Varying terrain * Ability to work out without others watching
“Working out outdoors might offer more opportunity for attentional distraction, such as scenery to look at, which is associated with a lower sense of fatigue and higher enjoyment for many people,” Ekkekakis said.
Negatives:
* Excessive Heat * Humidity * Higher temperatures lead to higher discomfort “If the temperature and humidity are too high, any possible advantage is wiped out,” Ekkekakis said. “Higher ambient temperature and humidity are strongly associated with lower ratings of pleasure and enjoyment, and higher ratings of discomfort, exertion, and fatigue.”

Take a trip down Iowa’s many trails By Stephen.Koenigsfeld iowastatedaily.com As summer ends, more and more students will be out and about looking for something to do. Luckily, there are quite a few bicycle and running trails in and near the
city of Ames. Listed below are just a few of the more wellknown trails that run through or around the city.
Chichaqua Valley
This 20-mile trail runs through Jasper and Polk County. The trail is for both runners and bikers. The trail is also wheelchair accessible. The trailhead is located just southwest of Bondurant. You must travel about a third of a mile down some gravel to get to the trail, but if you’re looking for a trail to g e t
away from the world on, this is the trail for you.
Heart of Iowa Nature
This is another walking, running and biking trail that runs right to the south of Ames. The trail is 32 miles long and stretches from Melbourne to Slater. The trail’s surface is made up of crushed stone and dirt, so most users prefer running on it to biking on it. The trail is fairly scenic, as it crosses the Union Pacific railroads and the Skunk River.
High Trestle
One of the more wellknown trails in this area is the High Trestle Trail. What used to be called the “Ankeny to Woodward” trail is biker and runner friendly. There is a wonderful 13-story, half-milelong bridge that overlooks the Des Moines River. The trail is 22 miles long and has a surface of asphalt and concrete. Travelers say to keep an eye out for the farm with buffalo along the way.
Ada Hayden
The Ada Hayden Trail wraps around the Ada Hayden
Lake, which is in the northern part of Ames. You can run near the water, and it’s quiet and peaceful. The trail is part of the Shared Youth Path System, it attracts a mix of runners and bikers. “One of my favorites would be the Ada Hayden Trail,” said City of Ames Public Relations Officer Susan Gwiasda. “I prefer to run in the morning, but that’s just me. Also, there’s a lot of wildlife.”
Ames bicycle
Ames also has 22 miles of bicycle trails running through the city. A map of these trails can be picked up at Ames bike shops or at the Ames City Hall. “I like to use the trails to sometimes get to the Aquatic Center, but you can use them to get to parks and other places as well,” Gwiasda said. Traveling on these trails is a great way to stay in shape, blow off some steam, or just take a little personal time. You can use these trails whether it’s to get from point A to point B, or just to take an afternoon stroll.
Ames’ many trails run through parks, along arterial roads, close to campus buildings and through wooded areas. The scenery is far from monotonous. Photo: Victoria Haradji/Iowa State Daily

At the gym Postives:
* Climate controlled * Less humid * Access to various types of exercise equipment “A cooler and less humid environment is both safer and more easily tolerable,” Ekkekakis said. “It is important to keep in mind that the human body has relatively limited tolerance to high heat and humidity.”
Negatives:
* Stressful for many people who feel that their bodies are on display * Presence of mirrors * Prevalence of tight clothing “Exercising in a gym has been found to be stressful for many people who feel that their bodies are on display and are worried that they might be negatively evaluated by critical observers,” Ekkekakis said. “The presence of mirrors and
prevalence of tight clothing make the gym environment even more intimidating.” Ekkekakis said that the social environment is as important as the physical environment when regards to workout locations. “Exercise takes place not only within the physical environment but also within the social environment, “ he said. “Sometimes, the social environment may be a facilitator, such as having support and encouragement from an exercise buddy, and sometimes it may be a deterrent, as in the case of the self-conscious person avoiding exercise in public.” Regardless of the social environment, the safety of the physical environment is what really matters, Ekkekakis said. “As long as the physical conditions are safe, the decision on whether to exercise indoors or outdoors will depend on social factors.”

Save time, workout at home By Lea.Petersen iowastatedaily.com
With summer ending and the fall semester beginning, most students will find themselves preoccupied by a countless number of thoughts. One of these thoughts may be how they’re going to stay in shape, or how to get in shape for the coming semesters. Iowa State has a few recreational facilities right on campus, but if you would prefer to exercise at home, the best way to do so would be to make a home gym.
Benefits:
First of all, you pay no membership fee for a home gym (unless you count rent.).
Also, you have the freedom to work out at whatever time that is convenient for you. If you feel like working out at 2 in the morning, you don’t have to worry about your gym being closed. Having a gym at home also saves you a lot of travel time. You don’t have to waste time going to the gym and back home every time you want to work out.
What you need:
Making your own home gym is not difficult at all. Listed below are some fairly inexpensive items you can buy to make your home gym:

Expert advice:
Dumbbells:
Nora Hudson, recreation services program coordinator, has some advice for incoming freshmen. “One of the most important things to keep down is a balanced workout,” she said. “Push-ups, sit-ups and dips are great.” It is essential that you don’t over-do your workout in the first couple months. Keep a balanced workout and do it consistently. “Thirty minutes a day and doing one day [of] cardio, then the next strength is a good balance,” Hudson said. A myth about college is that if you exercise excessively, then you won’t gain that “Freshman 15.” Hudson called this the leading cause to repetitive injuries that she sees. “The main thing I would say to stay in shape is to keep the muscles active,” she said. “But also have fun with what you’re doing.”
These are easy-to-obtain free weights that help tone the arms and back. They are easy to store under a bed or in a closet. These are the most commonly used components of a household gym.
Bench:
A bench press setup with different weight plates is also a good addition to a home gym. The bench could just be one you purchase at a Home Depot or one you have already have in your apartment. You may only have to buy the weights and the bar.
Resistance bands:

These are cheap, easy-tostore pieces of equipment that can help you tone almost any part of your body. Some easy workouts you can do with these are assisted pull-ups, push-ups against bands and mobility exercises.

By Stephen.Koenigsfeld iowastatedaily.com Before school starts, most students will be looking for fun ways to spend their last weeks of freedom from school. Many students will be going outdoors to savor the nice weather. Here are a few places to which you can escape:
Ada Hayden Ada Hayden is a park located on the north side of Ames, near Highway 69. The area has two lakes, a picnic area and a boat dock. Patrons may fish off of the boat dock, but may not dive from it. Also located in Ada Hayden Park is a 3.2-mile trail for walkers, runners and cyclists. The location features numerous birds including sandhill cranes, loons, pelicans and even a few bald eagles. Check out the city of Ames Parks and Recreation site for more details.
Skunk River The Skunk River doesn’t have as many amenities as Ada Hayden Park. However, there are still a few outdoor activities you can try there with your family or friends. For instance, there are many fish in the Skunk River. You are bound to catch at least a couple. There are places for tubing along the river. There are also many places to go canoeing on the river trail.
Seven Oaks At Seven Oaks, you have a few different activity options. Some of the more popular activities visitors do are mountain biking and tubing. The resort also provides paintball every day of the week and river floats along the Des Moines River. There are campgrounds that allow you to spend a couple of days at the facility. Seven Oaks is a located in Boone, which is only about 15 minutes from Ames by car.

First Aid
Preserve your health naturally By Lea.Petersen iowastatedaily.com Students have been packing during the last days of summer and boxing up every piece of clothing that might be needed for the upcoming school year. But two items that should be in all their cars as they trek back to Ames are a mini first aid kit and a portable version of Mom’s medicine cabinet. Greg Yeakel, chief staff pharmacist at Thielen Student Health Center, said that there are many ways students can care for themselves. “There are many medicines that are safe and effective that students can administer themselves. Overthe-counter drugs such as Tylenol, aspirin and Aleve are great for minor aches and pains,” Yeakel said. Most students are on a budget. They can’t always af-
ford to run to the doctor for every ailment. Fortunately, Yeakel has some first-aid tips for students who have to watch their expenses. “For cuts, cleaning the wound is the most important. Adding ointment such as triple antibiotic will help with healing,” he said. “In the case of mild burns, immersing the burn in cold water and not putting any ointment on the burn at first is the best plan of action.” As always, if students have any health-related questions, or experience worsening health conditions, they should see a physician. “If students have any questions about how to treat a wound ... they are encouraged to call the Student Health [Center] number. There is always a nurse who will answer,” Yeakel said. “Also, students can come into the pharmacy and talk to a pharmacist. We might be able to prescribe a topical treatment.”

Food
Grab groceries at these stores By Katie.Paulson iowastatedaily.com As a college student, especially one who lives on campus, you might not find it necessary to know about all the grocery stores available to you in Ames. As soon as you’re off campus, though, you might find yourself in need of a little guidance. Read the guide below to learn which one is right for you. Aldi Aldi is a hidden gem that not many people know about, but if you want to save money, going there is a must. Aldi carries the most inexpensive milk in town, and it offers a great selection of generic-brand items like cereal, chips, cheese and

chocolate. It also has daily specials. Make sure to take a bag with you because Aldi doesn’t provide bagging services.
Hy-Vee Of course, where there is a helpful smile in every aisle, you can’t go wrong. Check out its
website for Hot Deals, recipe ideas and special diet information. Whether your need is for basic ingredients or something exotic like saffron, Hy-Vee can fulfill it. Also, if you come in between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. you can usually catch the chef or the Simple Supper Solution crew handing out free samples and demonstrating great recipes that are easy to prepare at home. Hy-Vee offers just about anything you might need and it has two locations. Fareway This is the store where the men or women in the meat department delight in giving

Wheatsfield Cooperative This local co-op, a community-owned grocery store, offers a variety of bulk products if you need to stock up on food, or if you just feel like purchasing a handful of your favorite trail mix. Wheatsfield provides a wide range of locally grown and organic foods and serves delicious prepared foods in its deli. Keep your eye out for educational opportunities, too. Wheatsfield hosts classes throughout the year on a wide range of topics related to sustainability, cooking and preparation methods. Dahl’s Dahl’s is the newest grocery store in Ames. The store is located in the same building that Cub Foods was housed in before it closed last year. In addition to having grocery store staples, like produce, canned food and a meat counter, Dahl’s also has a deli, a bakery and an adjoining dining area.

Food Safety
Avoid germs in your kitchen Ensure the safety of your food and the soundness of your health by following these simple guidelines By Lea.Petersen iowastatedaily.com The dining halls at Iowa State have a lot to offer, but sometimes students don’t have time to rush in and grab a bite, don’t have a meal plan or want to try out a new recipe. While cooking yourself a homemade meal is rewarding, there are a few precautions that students should take first. Lakshman Rajagopal, assistant professor in apparel, educational studies and hos-
pitality management said that there are four main areas of concern in food safety: poor personal hygiene, cross contamination, time-temperature abuse and improper cleaning and sanitizing. Wash hands “Students can prevent many of these problems by washing hands with soap and warm water (100F) for 25 seconds,” said Rajagopal.

>>SAFETY.p49 Avoid cross-contamination “Avoid touching raw meat and fresh fruits or vegetables using unclean hands. Always wash hands between two different products and never leave food out on the counter,” Rajagopal said. Use clean utensils “Wash, rinse and sanitize surfaces and utensils. You can use a dishwasher to clean dishes and sanitize them because it uses hot water. If not, students can add 1 tablespoon of chlorine bleach to one gallon of warm water to sanitize cooking items,” Rajagopal said. Pay attention Certain foods require more attention than others, such as raw meats, dairy products and frozen items. “Refrigerate foods right away after they bring it from the grocery store. After cook-
ing food, any leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator right away. When reheating, reheat it completely and consume. Any food left out for more than four hours should be discarded. Most vulnerable foods are those foods that are rich in protein and/or carbohydrates. “Protein-rich foods include meat, tofu (soy), milk and milk products, and seafood. Carbohydrate-rich foods include rice, potatoes and pastas. Some foods, like peanut butter, keep well at room temperature, but always follow instructions on labels. For an example, organic peanut butter needs to be refrigerated immediately after opening it,” said Rajagopal. For more information on food safety, please visit www. iowafoodsafety.org,
>>HEALTHY.p45 fries or other starch-packed offerings. The five healthiest items available are the FiletO-Fish sandwich, the 6-piece box of Chicken McNuggets, a single hamburger, the Southwestern Grilled Chicken Salad and the Grilled Chicken Ranch Snack Wrap. Arby’s Known for its roast beef sandwiches, Arby’s has other menu items that are equally healthy. In fact, most of its salads (when paired with the right dressing) and hot hamand-cheese sandwiches can be healthier than the roast beef sandwiches. The latter are usually loaded with cheese and bacon. Taco John’s Taco John’s soft-shell chicken tacos and crispy tacos each have lower fat content than any comparable taco or burrito in town. Sour cream
and guacamole, although very tasty, add calories to these meals, so use them sparingly. Subway Many of Subway’s dishes are healthier than those offered by other fast food chains. In Ames, they’re also — at least in some cases — more widely available, as Subway has seven locations in the city. Choosing meat like lean turkey, putting it on wheat bread, piling on vegetables and staying away from sauces like mayonnaise and sweet onion sauce makes your sandwich nutritious and yummy. Panera Bread Located on South Duff Avenue, Panera Bread has amazing whole-grain breads and fresh fruit every day. Ordering a hot Panini sandwich paired with any of the available fruit (instead of a cinnamon roll or bagel) will let you avoid hundreds of calories from carbohydrates.

Decorating Interior Design
CUT THE COST of furnishing YOUR SPACE By Joy.Wessels iowastatedaily.com Moving into a new apartment or house can be hectic. Between meeting new roommates and getting used to your new environment, the whole move-in process may be both emotionally and physically draining. Furnishing your new “crib� may also drain your wallet. To keep your losses to a minimum, remember these houseware-hunting tips.

Garage sales, which are advertised in the newspaper, offer cheap furniture. If you negotiate with the person who is running the sale, you may even get the item for a lower price. Photo courtesy of Thinkstock
>>FRUGAL.p55 Ask around
If you’re OK with not having brandnew furniture, then I’d recommend checking with extended family members who might have some old things lying around. You’ll probably find that they have a kitchen table stashed away or a couch that has a small hole in it. Furniture like this often has the advantage of being free — a benefit few college students can afford to overlook.
Buy used
If you don’t have much luck getting free stuff from your family, consignment stores like Goodwill and The Salvation Army are excellent places to check out for incredibly low-priced items that are still in pretty good shape. They have everything from lamps for less than $10 to kitchen tables for $30. Their chairs typically range from $25 to $100. These types of stores often contain hidden treasures that can actually make your apartment look pretty good. Add a vintage patterned couch to your living room or funky-shaped chairs to your kitchen table. Your visitors will be sure to envy the flair they add to your decor. Other good places to buy used furniture are garage sales. In a city as big as Ames, there are garage sales happening all the time. They’re usually advertised in the
newspaper listing items for sale as well as the location of where you can rummage. While prices at Goodwill and Salvation Army aren’t negotiable, they definitely are at garage sales. Things are already pretty cheap, but with a charming smile and a “poor college kid” sob story, you’ll be sure to knock off a few more bucks. If there isn’t a garage sale going on, don’t be afraid to try Craigslist. People are in such a hurry to get rid of big bulky furniture that they’ll probably give you a good price for it.
for less than $50. Walmart and Target locations will usually stock coordinated furniture and accessories as well. If you like things to match closely, buy a couple throw pillows for less than $20 that go with the design on your lamps. Don’t make moving into your apartment or house this school year a hassle or let it burn a hole in your wallet.
Try retail stores
While consignment stores and garage sales can sometimes be hit or miss, Target and Walmart are pretty reliable when it comes to having good deals on greatlooking furniture. As the school year approaches, both places open up their dorm life sections. Dorm life sections offer a lot for apartment- and housedwellers. Lamps range from $15 to $60 in price. Side tables can be found

Roommates who

STAY together Address problems, conflicts honestly to keep a peaceful room
By Krupali.Desai iowastatedaily.com The start of the school year is nearing. When it begins, some of you might be living in places you will share with fellow students for the first time. Others of you might be familiar with sharing your place. Whatever your experience is, applying the expert tips below will guarantee you a great time. Talk it out While you share a living space, your relationship with your roommate affects your and your roommate’s experience. Like any relationship, the one you have with your roommate requires a lot of communication. Susan Lammers, hall director for Schilletter and University Village, suggests you determine in advance who will clean what, how you feel about guests in the space, how you might share and split food, and how cleaning duties might be shared. If done with consideration and openess, communication
will make your relationships with roommates uplifting and natural. “Discuss past roommate experiences and what you all expect from one another,” said Quiana McKenzie, gradu-

I certainly recommend being open and agreeable to helping your roommates pick up — Molly Slattery senior in kinesiology and health and community adviser for Frederiksen
ate in educational leadership and policy studies and assistant community director at Frederiksen Court. “When I meet with students, it’s often because they did not have this conversation and the tension between them has become intolerable.” McKenzie said roommates need to address their problems head on. “Maybe your roommate does not know how to fill or use the dishwasher. Maybe your roommate had a really rough

day and did not remember to empty the dryer,” she said. “Honest and polite communication is invaluable in any roommate situation.” One of the great things about living in college town like Ames is that you get to hang out and chill with friends and neighbors. Before you plan one of your pleasant gatherings, however, it is a good idea to talk about it with your
roommate. “When considering guests, think about creating a calendar on which everyone can list their major papers and exams,” McKenzie said. “It may not be a good idea to have guests over when you know your roommate will be stressed about a big paper or exam.” Keep it tidy “The independence [afforded by living in apart-
ments] is exciting,” said Molly Slattery, senior in kinesiology and health and community adviser for Frederiksen. “But be prepared that you may have to spend time on chores you hadn’t in the past.” A clean apartment or house not only keeps colonies of germs at bay, but it also makes your place welcoming

Keep your space organized and looking and smelling nice. This will help you find your items more efficiently. “Make sure that the chores alternate from roommate to roommate each week,” McKenzie said. “No one wants to get stuck cleaning the bathroom all year.” Planning and talking about cleaning duties is also important. One roommate may assume the other will clean something at a certain time, but he or she may not know that. Unless all involved parties communicate, there can be discord. “I certainly recommend being open and agreeable to
helping your roommates pick up as this is a friendly gesture and makes your roommates more likely to help you in the future, too,” Slattery said. “Ultimately, however, it’s important to take responsibility for any messes you make.” Balance spending time with friends and studying As you watch your favorite shows together, go on shopping trips and play video games, school sometimes may slip lower on your list of priorities. Don’t forget to schedule some dedicated study time. “The hustle and bustle [of communal living] has never bothered me, but it can be distracting when you’re trying to get some things done,” Knust said. “Don’t be afraid to use all of the study spaces offered on campus and local churches.” You and your roommate (or roommates) can actually inspire each other to do better in school. If you manage not to get too distracted by non-academic

matters, studying together can help you more than studying alone. Sometimes watching your friends studying nearby can motivate you to follow suit if you’re not in the mood to concentrate.
Make the most of your shared living experience You will only get to live with fellow students for a few years. Why not make those few years enriching by developing relationships? Knust suggests branching out and meeting as many people as possible.

Make your space your own at low cost
By Kaitlin.Miner iowastatedaily.com With the summer heat setting in, many students are seeking an oasis in the form of an air-conditioned apartment or a residence hall room. However, transforming these living spaces into areas that are fit for an escape from the heat isn’t always easy. One of the best ways to improve your living space is to add color. Doing so in a small space and on a college student’s budget may seem like a daunting task, but after heeding a few tips, you can start enjoying a little more color in your own space.

Deciding the feeling you want from your room is the first step in knowing what colors will suit your space best, said Jihyun Song, assistant professor of interior design. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing, calming refuge or a bold, energizing area, different colors will fit different effects better. For a relaxing, calming effect, cool colors like blues, greens and violets are most appropriate. Warm colors like reds, oranges and yellows are best for a bold, energizing effect.
If you’re unsure about what direction you want to take in your area, Cigdem Akkurt, associate professor of interior design, recommended looking to nature for inspiration. “What I suggest to students is to look at nature, especially now. When you look at nature, in general, you can look at the sky, the green grass right now, the lush grass and the flowers in it .... So nature is important,” Akkurt said. “You don’t have to look at nature as the big picture either; take a flower, for instance, and look at it.” Akkurt also believes having a main piece, “like a couch you adore or something else of sentimental value,” can aid in developing the ambience of the room. Whether you have an inspiration piece that is guiding your color choices or you’re looking toward nature to inspire you, Akkurt believes it’s
about discovering what you like about the colors around you. “You don’t really have to know about the science of color, like the color wheels and stuff. It’s a personal reaction. If you know that something is speaking to you, then you stop and listen to it ... or you look and see it,” Akkurt said.
Consider the context
Knowing the context of your color is also key, Akkurt said. The form, light and materiality will determine how the color will look in a room. Form is important because it allows you to really think about where you want the color to be in a room. When looking at the materiality of a room, you should look at the structure of the room, whether it’s made of
mostly concrete or is framed by a lot of woodwork. Certain reactions accompany each material, such as the warmth that is evoked in a room with a lot of woodwork. Considering the light in the space is the most important thing in understanding the context of color, Akkurt said. Knowing where color will appear in a room and how much light will be in the room will help you see how certain colors will actually appear in a room
Mix and match
“It is important to establish early on that it’s not about a color. It’s about the relationship of colors .... A punch of color can be used in a simple way that ... can make an impact,” Song said. Being able to bring different colors together in a space can actually help make a small space appear larger, or vice versa.

>>COLOR.p61
Warm colors appear to be closer to us than cool colors, so a room with a cool color palette appears more spacious, Song said. Contrasting warm colors with cool colors can actually make cool colors appear cleaner and crisper, evoking a feeling of calmness. “Using warm colors in the foreground and cool colors in the background enhances the perception of depth. Cool colors in a background are frequently used to set off areas of warm colors. In a college room, since it’s usually a small room, you can give accents with warmer colors on pillows and other accessories while you’re setting a larger surface area with cool colors.” It’s also important to use patterns in playing up the size of your room. If you’re working with a small space, using light colors and tones with smaller patterns helps the space appear larger, Akkurt said.
Find your focus
Akkurt believes that even
in small spaces it’s important to have a focal point. A fireplace or other design feature can serve as a great focal point. Centering the furniture around a focal point in a way that stimulates conversation helps emphasize the focal point, Akkurt said. Once you have a focus, color can be used to help you add focus to that area. In many college residence hall rooms and in many students’ apartments, the television serves as the focal point in a room. Surrounding a television with other visually interesting items helps add interest to this area. Using bookshelves with books or some form of greenery are good techniques, Akkurt said. Books add a personal touch to the room and elicit a certain response from the reader. Greenery, when placed near a window or in a visible area rather than tucked in a corner, helps connect the outdoors and indoors, and helps break that boundary between the room and the outdoor space. Just make sure it’s a plant
that requires minimal effort or one that can be easily maintained to ensure that it will stay green. Posters and artwork can also add personality and interest to a room. Akkurt believes original artwork can serve as meaningful focals. Photographs can also serve as a personal focal point in a room. Using color, such as one bold wall in a room balanced by cooler colors in the rest of the space, is a good way to draw attention to a focal point, Akkurt said. Song believes that using a monochromatic color scheme can also help students save money. Picking one hue to decorate in a room and using various tones of that hue helps keep cohesion in a room, and can be easily done if you have a
majority of accessories in one color.
Color doesn’t have to be complicated
Akkurt believes testing out a color in your space with different accessories or easily changeable pieces, like slipcovers or rugs, allows you to experiment with what feeling and colors you want to have in a room. Remember, it’s your space, and, as Song said, “The most important thing about the colors in our room is that it be a reflection of you.”

Make a bead necklace
Simple craft is a great gift for friends, relatives By Katherine.Klingseis iowastatedaily.com Making jewelry is one of the most rewarding crafts you can do. When you finish making your jewelry, you can either keep it for yourself or give it to someone as a gift. Regardless of who ends up with the final product, making jewelry is a lot of fun. Here is a list of materials and a set of instructions to help you make your own necklace:
Materials: 1. Beads 2. Beading thread 3. Needle
4. Clasp 5. Pliers 6. Nail polish
1. Buy supplies First, decide what you want your necklace to look like. If you are making the necklace for yourself, you can pick any beads you like. If you are making the necklace for someone else, you should take that person’s tastes and interests into account. For example, choose beads that are that person’s favorite color or charms that represent activities and objects that that person is interested in. You will also need to buy beading thread, a needle, a clasp, pliers and clear nail polish.

2. Decide length of necklace
5. Finish your necklace
Necklaces come in a variety of lengths. If you want to make a choker necklace, the length of your beading thread should be between 10 and 13 inches. Most necklaces range between 17 and 20 inches in length. Determine your ideal necklace size and cut your beading thread accordingly. Additional tip: Everyone has a different-sized neck. In order to make the best-fitting necklace, measure the neck of whoever will wear the necklace.
If you are satisfied with the placement of your beads, your next step is to tie the other end of your beading thread to the other side of your clasp. Using a needle, thread your beading thread through the clasp and begin to tie a knot. Before pulling the knot tight, place another needle in the open space created when you began tying your knot. As you pull the second needle near your last bead, begin to tighten the knot by pulling the first needle away from the last bead. Essentially, you want to make the knot the closest it can be to your last bead. Once you accomplish this, pull the second needle out and pull the knot tight. Use nail polish again to secure the knot and cut off any excess thread.
3. Prepare your thread
After cutting your thread, you need to take your clasp and tie your thread to one end of your clasp. To secure the knot, dab a bit of clear nail polish on the knot.
4. Thread your beads Once your clasp is secure, begin threading your beads. If you decide to have a pattern, make sure to keep track of it as you thread your beads.
6. Wear your necklace or give it to someone else
Once you finish your necklace, you can immediately put it on. If you made it for someone else, you can put the necklace in a nice gift box and give it to him or her.

Add mystery with a mask Conceal your own face with a plaster cast of it By Katherine.Klingseis iowastatedaily.com People around the world love to wear masks. Masks let their wearers escape the scrutiny of others. They give people the confidence to act however they want. They are also quite easy to make. Here is a list of materials and a set of instructions that will help you make a mask.
Materials: 1. Plaster cloth 2. Petroleum jelly 3. Water 4. Scissors 5. Newspaper 6. Acrylic paint 7. Card stock 8. Sand paper
Lay out materials before making your own plaster mask. Be sure to keep your work space clean. Photo: Jordan Maurice/Iowa State Daily
1. Buy supplies
You’ll need water, scissors and newspaper, which you’ll probably be able to find lying around the house. If you don’t have petroleum jelly, you can buy it at a retail store or drug store for less than $5. You will have to go to a craft store to buy plaster cloth, which will cost you between $5 and $10.
2. Prepare work space
Making masks can be kind of messy. You will want to cover your work space with newspaper to prevent damage to it. It is also a good idea to wear old or cheap clothing.
3. Decide what kind of mask you want Masks come in all shapes and sizes. Before you start making your mask, you need to decide what kind you want. For instance, you can make a mask that covers your whole face, or a masquerade mask, which only covers a portion of your face.
4. Apply petroleum jelly to your face After you decide how big you want your mask to be, begin applying petroleum jelly to your face. Cover the areas of your face
that you want your mask to cover. Additional tip: Make sure to coat your face well. If you don’t put enough petroleum jelly on your face, mask removal will hurt. Cut your plaster cloth into strips. Dip two strips into water,
5. Place plaster cloth on your face and place these strips in an “X” formation, allowing the two strips to cross in the center of your face. Continue to dip strips of plaster cloth into water, and place these strips around your face, linking the “X” together. Coat your face with two or three layers of plaster strips.
6. Let plaster dry You should let the plaster strips dry until your face begins to itch.
7. Remove mask In order to remove your mask, you will need to stretch the skin of your face. You can do this by lifting your eyebrows and lowering your chin. As you do this, slowly pull your mask away from your face.

8. Decorate mask After you remove your mask from your face, you can start to personalize it. You can do this by adding more plaster, painting it and adding embellisments. If you want to paint it, first remove all rough spots by rubbing sandpaper on your mask. Then, apply a coat of clear acrylic paint. After the clear paint dries, begin painting your mask with the colors of your choice. When the paint
dries, you can glue on additional decorations such as ribbons, jewels and pipe cleaners onto your mask.
9. Wear mask After allowing everything to dry, slip on your mask and enjoy your anonymity.

Scrapbooking

Preserve your past
By Katherine.Klingseis iowastatedaily.com Scrapbooking not only is a fantastic means of expressing your creativity, but also a great way to preserve memorable moments. Here is a list of materials and a set of directions.
Materials: * Lots and lots of photos* Stationary or colorful paper * Photo album
* Tape * Glue * Scissors * Paint * Markers * Stencils * Glitter * Buttons * Stickers * Ribbons
1. Take many photos
The most important aspects of a scrapbook are its photos. In order to make a good scrapbook, you must take a lot of photos — the more the better. These photos should be of important events, people, places and animals (among other things). The photos should be personal and mean something to you. They should also be vibrant and engaging. You should store these photos in a safe, dry, climate-controlled place.

* Additional tip: Kodak.com recommends taking close-up shots to help you remember the details of what was occurring when the photo was taken.
2. Keep memorable items Mementoes such as ticket stubs, airplane tickets, greeting cards and invitations also add sentimental value to your scrapbook. If some item is important to you, consider putting it in your scrapbook. * Additional tip: According to MarthaStewart.com, anything can be potential material for a scrapbook. The website explained that even business cards can be used in a scrapbook to help you remember stores, hotels, restaurants and other locations.
3. Pick a theme Play the
Every scrapbook needs to have a theme. Ideas for themes range from holidays to vacations to births. If you have a wide variety of pictures from different events, don’t be afraid to make multiple scrapbooks. In order to add as much detail as possible to your scrapbook, you need to narrow its focus. Placing photos from too many events will make your scrapbook seem scattered and confusing.
4. Buy supplies 10 days - August 5 - 14 Match each back-to-school sign in participating stores and drop your game sheet in the entry box in center court for a chance to win. Participating Stores: American Eagle Outfitters • CJ Banks Christopher & Banks • Cookies, Etc.

2801 Grand Avenue, Ames | www.northgrandmall.com | (515) 232-3679
If you want to make a quality scrapbook, your supplies should reflect your theme. For instance, if the theme of your scrapbook is a birth, then you may want to choose pastel-colored paper, paint and markers. If you are making a vacationthemed scrapbook, you may want to choose supplies that remind you of a particular vacation spot.
5. Plan each page Like many things in life, scrapbooking is best done after you’ve done some planning. Planning doesn’t necessarily mean having to measure each picture and drawing out a rough draft of each page — although doing either wouldn’t hurt — but it does mean that you should think about what you want on each page. After you figure out what you want on a page, you should lay these objects on the page without gluing them to see how they look in relation to one another.
6. Begin gluing your photo and mementoes onto paper
Following your previously made design plans, start gluing your photos and mementoes on to stationary, colored paper, or other kinds of decorative paper. Matting your photos against colorful paper will help make the photos “pop.” This will also be the time to add embelishments such as buttons, ribbons and glitter. Make sure to not make your pages too busy. If you add too many items to a page, you won’t be able to focus as well on a particular photo or memento. * Additional tip: Disney’s FamilyFun website advises writing funny quotations, stories and jokes on your scrapbook.
SCRAPBOOK.p73 >>
Wednesday, August 3, 2011 | Iowa State Daily | CRAFTS | 73
>>SCRAPBOOK.p72 The website also recommends drawing cartoons and doodles to keep your pages unique and engaging.
8. Allow glue to dry After allowing the glue to dry, shake your pages to rid them of any excess material, then slide them into page protectives in your photo album.
9. Store your scrapbook
Making a scrapbook is a lot of fun. Looking at your scrapbook years after you made it is an even more enjoyable experience. To prevent damage to your scrapbooks, you should store them in a secure spot. Also, don’t be afraid to share your scrapbooks with others, especially those who are in your scrapbooks.

Materials: Clothing item Fabric ink Embroidery hoop Mod Podge glue Curtain fabric Sponge Paintbrush
1. Choose an item to screen print on
You don’t want to screen print for the first time on an expensive item, because you may mess it up. A cheap t-shirt is an ideal choice.
2. Decide design and colors

ters. Using a limited number of colors will also help prevent errors. One you decide on your design, draw it on a plain piece of white paper. Additional tip: You should understand that many logos, designs, symbols and artistic works are protected by trademark or copyright laws. To prevent being fined, avoid copying someone else’s work. Creating your own design is more fun anyway.
Place your design in the center of your screen, and trace the design onto the curtain fabric. Using a paint brush, apply Mod Podge over any space on which you do not want paint to appear. Allow the Mod Podge to dry for a few hours.
6. Apply paint
3. Buy supplies
One of the most important tools for screen printers is a screen. Buying a screen made specifically for screen printing can cost you $30 or more. To save some money, you can make a screen by using an embroidery hoop, which you can buy at Hobby Lobby for less than $5, and curtain fabric, which is available at Hobby Lobby for less than $10. The next thing you want to buy is some fabric ink, which usually ranges from $5 to $20 in price. You also need to buy Mod Podge, which you can find at craft and fabric stores. Mod Podge is about $8. You will need some paint brushes and a sponge.
Don’t forget to cover the surface you’re working on with old newspaper or the like to prevent paint from getting on the surface. Jordan Maurice/Iowa State Daily
4. Prepare your screen
Unscrew your embroidery hoop and separate its two loops. Then, take your fabric curtain, and stretch it over one of the loops. Place it on the other loop to secure the fabric. Cut around the hoop to get rid of any excess material.
WISH YOU COULD
FLY?
Before you apply any paint, make sure to place a piece of cardboard inside your tshirt to prevent ink from soaking through to the back of the shirt. Then place the screen on your shirt wherever you want your design to be. Use your sponge to apply the fabric ink to large areas, and use your paint brushes to apply the ink to small areas. After you finish painting, lift up your screen. Finally, place your t-shirt in a safe location and allow the paint to dry overnight. Additional tip: Don’t throw away your stencil, re-use it!
7. Wash and wear
After the paint dries, wash and dry your t-shirt. As soon as it’s dry, try it on!

Be a fall fashionista Autumn brings chance to sport bold new looks
By Ian Laughead ISD Style Writer Three weeks from now you might be back in your sweatpants-and-hairband wardrobe, but for now, here’s what you could be wearing this season. Go long So, you like wearing your skirts hiked up to your crotch on Friday nights? We’re not judging you. For the daytime, though, you might consider skirts that cover not only your upper thigh, but also your knee and the areas below. From the catwalks of Milan and Paris
to the Forever 21 at the mall, skirts are getting longer, and legs are getting warmer. You don’t have to go for the full-on maxi dress, but if you try on a skirt with a little extra length, it could make you look sophisticated and chic Plaid to the bone This isn’t your hipster’s plaid shirt. While the pattern might have become the mark of the countercultural crowd lately, they certainly don’t own it. This fall, wearing some plaid won’t make you underground anymore. Since it’s showing up at most stores in the mall at this point, plaid is clearly for everyone. But don’t think it has to be in the form of that ubiquitous plaid shirt. Experiment with it on leather-trimmed bags, jackets and even scarves. However,
the No. 1 rule of this pattern is important to note: moderation is key. Nobody wants to go to a party where everyone is wearing the same plaid shirt. Leather, rubber and vinyl — oh my! Unlike plaid items, these materials are something your closet may lack. Sure, you’ve got the basic black leather bag, or the patent belt, or the rubber rain boots, but do you have the pleather skirt? What about the vinyl jacket? Are rubber bracelets more your style? Fabrics once prefered by more fetishists than fashonistas are blowing up this season. As wardrobe choices, they’re definitely risky (and more than a little risqué), but if you’ve got the self confidence to pull off a piece in your outfit, why not wear it?

OLD FASHIONED to plan your day No need for a smartphone or tablet to stay on track By Ian Laughead ISD Style Writer Day planners: What a charming, old-timey way to keep track of your schedule. I guess at one point they were useful for people planning jaunts in jalopies, disco dates or power lunches, but today we have smart phones to take care of our

needs. One thing you miss without a nice pen — make it a gel pen for old time’s sake — is the satisfaction of crossing each item off as you finish it. iPhones and calendar programs are great for the basics, but when you need to know more than when your classes are, it helps to have a physical reminder that your 10-page paper is due tomorrow morning. This reminder should be written in bright yellow highlighter, naturally. The only real issue with day planners and organizers is how ugly most of them are. They probably look great

if you’re stuck in a cubicle all day, but for the rest of us, they’re a little stodgy. Plenty of companies, fortunately, have created stylish alternatives. Available in a nice, paperback-book size and in colors like orange, pink, and green, Franklin Covey makes a planner perfect for a college student. It even has a back pocket for those random half sheets of paper you somehow accumulate during the day, which is definitely a feature to look for when planner shopping. It’s important to note that these specialized notebooks aren’t just a girl thing. In fact, there’s nothing more masculine than a camouflage organizer from Mead for less than $20. It closes with a zipper, so it can be thrown around. Be careful, though: Taking it hunting may be a little rough on it. If you want something luxurious that will last a lifetime, prepare to spend a pretty penny — or pound, as the case may be.

Far Eastern cream makes styling far easier By Elizabeth Krugler ISD Style Writer Spending countless hours blow-drying and styling your untamable hair can be a pain. It’s not a problem during the lazy summer months, but
when school starts it might take more time than you can spare. If there’s one thing you can do to ease this transition, it’s using MoroccanOil hydrating styling cream. The cream uses pure argan oil to hydrate your hair. Using it before you blow-dry your hair can cut your drying time by 40 percent. If you choose to put it on your hair once it’s already dry, it will eliminate frizz. The styling cream also

The hair care line has a vast number of products (ranging from an intense curl cream to hairspray) and a variety of hair treatment products. The cost of the products can be as low as $14.95 or as high as $40. They can be found at most salons or ordered online from MoroccanOil sellers. If you are looking for a product to reduce frizz, provide luster, save you some time in the morning and even give your hair a refreshing scent, try the MoroccanOil hydrating styling cream. It just might make your hair care routine a little easier.

Cut your hair short
Shorter styles like the pixie cut have been huge with starlets during the past couple of seasons. Emma Watson, to give just one example, has sported a sophisticated yet fun cropped cut lately. This style is great for a bold new look. Before you try out a look like this, however, remember you may eventually need to grow that mane back out. Plan accordingly.
Go for a bob
Not quite ready to take the plunge on a pixie? Go for a bob. Stars like January Jones and Jessica Alba have been seen rocking this more versatile cut. It’s perfect if you want to keep the comfort and convenience of a ponytail but want something new and edgy. This cut comes in a range of lengths, so there’s a bob to suit every facial structure.
Try a new color
If shedding your locks isn’t for you, a new color is the way to go. Ombré highlights are all the rage and are easy to maintain. Ombré hair-dyeing techniques keep your roots dark while lightening the ends. Celebrities such as Lauren Conrad and Sarah Jessica Parker are fans of this laid-back look.

In with the work boots Trade in your cowboy kicks for some more contemporary footwear
By Ian Laughead ISD Style writer Fashion is a fickle mistress, and just when you think you have the most stylish accessories, they always change. Boots provide this season’s clearest example of fashion flux. Cowboy boots have their place. At one point in time that place was on your feet at a cool party. This time around that’s not the case. Before you throw those out, remember you can save them for the next time you’re herding cattle in the Southwest. In the meantime, check out the work boot. Whether they’re stylized heel work boots from a trendy designer, a genuine set of boots from a company with a reputation for toughness or durability or neutral-colored ankle boots with plenty of laces, work boots are all over the place. Of course, the boots are sturdy and wear-resistant, but they’re also versatile. Pair them with a jacket and jeans for a cool look, or wear them with a jersey dress for a sexy night ensemble.

Learn pet policy before moving By Kaitlin.Miner iowastatedaily.com College marks many students’ first experience of living on their own. Apartments are the sites of many of their first forays into independent living. If they want pets to accompany them on this journey, they usually have to heed a few rules. Below are some ways to learn what those rules are and how to abide by them. Find out whether your property management company allows pets. Some property owners have strict policies forbidding pets, while others welcome them. Some vary their policies from one building to the next. Some places will advertise their policies, but most will ask you to list any pets you own on lease forms. These forms generally outline the pet policy for your apartment. Different property managements have different policies, so knowing what you are agreeing to is important. Mike Meehl, sale manager for The Grove Apartments said The Grove offers pet-friendly apartments. Cats and nonaggressive breeds of dogs that weigh less than 50 pounds are allowed. Any other pets are subject to the approval of the general manager before being allowed to live in an apartment. When signing a lease with The Grove Apartments, residents are told they must make The Grove aware of any pets they have. If they bring a pet or buy a pet, they must inform The Grove of its presence, and accept the fees that pet owners incur. Some property managers require certain vaccinations and other treatments for pets before they’re allowed to live in apartments. Gary Hunziker, owner of Hunziker Property Management, said that different Hunziker apartment buildings have different policies for pets. For instance, some allow cats, others allow dogs and a few are completely pet-free. Most that allow cats and dogs allow caged animals, as long as the latter are reasonably sized. Dogs have a size limit of 35 pounds, and all pets must be reported and approved by managers. Pets are also required to have vaccinations. The vaccinations and other necessary preparations are outlined in a pet addendum provided to lesees, Hunziker said. Professional Property Management, Inc., allows tenants to keep animals in apartments only if they’re service animals. However, these property managers allow

them to keep a broader selection of pets in satellite properties such as duplexes. Karen Popelka, rental consultant supervisor with Professional Property Management, Inc, explained this policy in detail. Cats and dogs are allowed in these satellite properties, but they must be spayed or neutered. To keep them in such properties, their owners must have proof of inoculation. Cat owners must remove their pets’ claws. Tenants can only house pets they already own in their rental units; a new pet cannot be bought while a tenant lives in one, Popelka said. Smaller dogs are also preferred. Popelka explained that residents are asked up front if they have pets, and, if they say yes, property managers request references for and photographs of the pet. The Grove Apartments require a nonrefundable pet fee of $250 to cover any additional wear and tear, as well as an additional $30 a month for pet rent, Meehl said. A one-time fee is commonly required, and a one-time fee of $300 must be paid to have a pet, Hunziker said. Professional Property Management, Inc. charges a time payment equivalent to one month’s rent, but this is subject to change at the request of property owners. (Professional Property Management, Inc. manages properties it doesn’t necessarily own.) Hunziker said the best way to ensure

a good experience for yourself and your pet is to know what’s required of the two of you. “It’s probably a good idea, wherever you’re at, to talk to your landlord first.”

furry pets like dogs, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and mice. It also has a wide variety of fish, as well as pythons, turtles and small lizards. In addition, it carries accessories for different pets including food, cages and toys for dogs and cats. The Ark is another place in the Ames area that offers different kinds of pets. The Ark is located on 118 Hayward Ave. near Campustown. This little pet store is unique in that it offers a wide variety of fresh and saltwater fish. Although fish are its specialty, The Ark also has smaller animals, reptiles and amphibians. As well as finding animals for sale, the Ark’s owner also offers grooming to all breeds. Ames Animal Shelter, located on 325 Billy Sunday Road, offers a pet adoption service. By going to the City of Ames’ site for that purpose, you can look through a list
of cats and dogs available for adoption. Once you’ve found a pet you’d like to adopt, you can apply to do so. You can fill out adoption papers once your application is reviewed. If you’re still on the fence about getting a pet, just go out to the animal shelter to walk and play with the dogs and cats available. Spending some time with the animals might help you decide whether you want to become a pet owner. Although there are many good places in the Ames area to find pets, you should check your property management company’s pet policy before getting one. There is usually a small fee that such companies assess pet owners for each month, but this is a small price to pay for a little companionship. Once you’ve done some research, the perfect animal for you is sure to be waiting at one of Ames’ pet stores or animal shelters.
