There will be no more closed doors for the Iowa Board of Regents if a proposed bill by a Democratic sena-tor is approved.

A bill entitled “The Regents Accountability and Transparency Act” created by Sen. Jeff Danielson would direct the Board to a more pub-licly engaged direction when making decisions.

Some of the Regent’s latest, and most controversial, issues, such as Sen. Tom Harkin’s refusal to donate his papers to Iowa State and a re-gent member doubling as a Regent lobbyist and an ISU public lobby-ist, were all lacking community in-volvement, Danielson told the Des Moines Register. That gap between the people and the panel gave spark to Danielson’s document.

The suggested legislation would outlaw a conflict of interest in a lob-byist that served as a regent from working as a lobbyist for any school or program under the Regents’ gover-nance within the same two years.

Any proposal in front of the board

Theta Delta Chi has been known to the general public more commonly as Thumpers for a long time.

In 1933, Frank Thomas, who was part of Disney’s team of animators known as the “Nine Old Men,” sent a drawing of the character Thumper

from the animated classic Bambi. Thomas was the creator of the char-acter for the film, and one of the first 250 employees ever employed by the company.

Thomas, who had been a Theta Delta Chi during his college years at Stanford University, was contacted by the ISU chapter of the fraternity and he came through with a drawing

that contained a message.“We basically reached out to him

and asked him for a drawing,” said Mike Nilles, junior in kinesiology and president of the ISU chapter. “Only a few other chapters of Theta Delta Chi, including Stanford, are known as Thumpers.”

The members of the fraternity have embraced the nickname over

the years within the greek commu-nity and to many students on campus, “Thumpers” is how they identify the chapter.

“When I came for Greek Getaway a few years ago, I asked around about how to get to Theta Delta Chi, and nobody seemed to know,” said Josh

Failing a college class is avoidable if the right steps are taken.To evaluate what the most failed classes are at Iowa State University, one

has to refer to the DFW list. This list shows the percentage of students who get a D+, D, D-, F, or who

withdraw from the course after the first week.According to the DFW list, in the Fall of 2011, there were five math cours-

es in the top 10 alone with a 45 to 68 percent success rate. Skipping forward, in the Fall of 2012, there was only one math course in the top 10 with a 53 percent success rate.

The math department has made many changes in order to achieve suc-cess, drop the amount of math classes on the DFW list and raise the percent-ages of passing students.

“What we had to do was look at all of the 100 and 200 level courses. We tried to figure out if these were the right courses we should be offering, if we had the right professors teach-ing these courses and if the students are being placed in the cor-rect classes,” said Wolfgang Kliemann, chair of the math-ematics department.

Kliemann explained that redesigning the content of the math courses is very important.

For example, he mentioned that College Algebra, Math 140, was a class that was always on the DFW list. The math de-

Members of the Democratic Party are happy with Rep. Bruce Braley’s recent an-nouncement to run for the senatorial spot recently held by retiring Sen. Tom Harkin in 2014.

“Bruce Braley is someone who’s go-ing to stand up for the middle class, work across party lines just like Sen. Harkin has,” said Michael Hunt, communications director for the Iowa Democratic Party.

“He has worked hard for veterans and the middle class and people in agriculture and I think he’ll absolutely carry on the tradition that Harkin has set for us.”

That tradition, Hunt said, includes be-ing an “absolutely legendary figure and someone who has a proven track record on countless issues, particularly health and human services and fighting for the middle class every day.”

“Sen. Harkin’s been there so long, he remembers a time when Democrats and Republicans worked together,” said Hunt.

Braley himself said he has much in common with Harkin.

“We both grew up in Iowa. We both went to Iowa State University and we both grew up in modest, working class families. Those are some of the things that we share that define why we work so hard helping the middle class.”

The two have also worked on similar issues in Congress.

“One of the things that I’ve worked on in my six years in Congress are simi-lar things that Tom’s worked on: access to health care, serving on the Health Subcommittee; energy, serving on the Energy Commerce Committee and mak-ing opportunities for renewable energy in the state of Iowa,” Braley said.

Braley also cited education as an im-portant issue for both himself and Harkin.

“Education has been a huge priority for both Sen. Harkin and me. It’s personal to me because my mom’s been teaching in Iowa since 1948 and my wife is a teacher at West High School in Waterloo,” said Braley.

“A lot of the things that I’ll be work-

ing on are continuing [Harkin’s] legacy of try-ing to promote policies that strengthen and ex-pand the middle class,” Braley said.

Braley said his goals and focus won’t change if he becomes senator.

“We have seen, as the economy has recovered, the economy itself has grown stronger and our Gross Domestic Product has increased, but earnings for people in the middle class have been stagnant,” Braley said.

“These are the cornerstones of eco-nomic opportunity and development in the state of Iowa, and those are the things I’ll be promoting at the United States Senate.”

Braley has already received much support and endorsements from other Democrats.

“Braley has talked to Harry Reid, and the rest of the Democrat majority leader-ship are behind him. He’s talked to the Iowa Democratic Party, they’re behind him. He’s gotten endorsements from [former Rep. Leonard] Boswell and [Rep. David] Loebsack,” said Tim Nelson, soph-omore in political science and member of the ISU Democrats.

Hunt also cited a strong Democratic party backing for Braley. “Those people have served with Braley in office. They know his records, they know his ability to deliver for Iowans and uphold the values that Iowans hold dear,” Hunt said.

Both parties know that the race for the Senate seat will draw national attention while also giving both a good chance to win.

“The reality is that this is going to be one of the high-profile races in America in 2014,” Braley said.

Steve Bierfeldt, the Iowa Republican Party executive director, agreed that this will be an important race. “I think it should be a competitive race. It should be a very good opportunity for Republicans to pick up a seat,” said Bierfeldt.

This is a race that ISU students will also be keeping a close eye on.

“It’ll be one that’s heavily watched, and it’ll be a tight one for sure,” said Abhishek Vemuri, president of the ISU Democrats. “I know ISU Democrats will work hard for

him when the time comes.”Even though there will still be a pri-

mary to actually select the Democratic nominee, it looks unlikely that anyone will challenge Braley.

“In my opinion, no one’s going to run against him, unless they like losing,” said Nelson.

The Democratic Party is happy with Braley’s recent announcement to run for the retiring Harkin in 2014.

“We’ll have a very good Democratic candidate, whether it’s Bruce Braley or anyone else, for both Senate and to replace him in the House,” Hunt said.

Hunt went on to say that most Iowans feel comfortable with the idea of Braley in Senate, stating that “he has a very clear understanding of what everyday Iowans care about, and it’s not the social issues, it’s much more practical stuff; its pragmatic issues, such as getting the economy going and finding a job.”

Both parties know that the race for this Senate seat will draw national attention while also giving both a good chance of winning.

Loebsack and Boswell have both en-dorsed Braley on Facebook.

In Boswell’s endorsement, he said “I’ve watched you fight passionately for Iowa’s small towns, big cities, and working fami-lies for the last six years in the U.S. House. You’ve been a tireless advocate for Iowa’s veterans. It’s time we got you elected to the Senate so you can be an even more effec-tive voice for Iowa.”

Braley is receiving more than just this Facebook support from Republican Party members.

“I think it should be a competitive race. It should be a very good opportunity for Republicans to pick up a seat,” said Steve Bierfeldt, Iowa Republican Party execu-tive director.

Carritt, junior in computer engineering and the chapter’s new member educator. “When somebody asked if that was the same chap-ter as Thumpers, then there was a collective, ‘Ohhhhh’.”

The chapter house pays tribute to both Thomas and the character Thumper in two ways.

On first floor in the dining room, there are framed pictures of Thumper lining the walls. However, the real monument comes in the basement. There, a large painted mural of the character watches over everyone.

“I think one thing that is great about our nickname is that every year when Greek Affairs comes out with a Fraternity Guide, there is a section for nicknames,” said Dennis Groth, senior in kinesiology. “You see FarmHouse, Delts, some names that are pretty easy to draw from the letters. Ours is Thumpers, so you know there has to be a story behind that.”

The fraternity has run into a few obstacles while trying to pay tribute to the character over the years.

“Back in the 1980s, we got into some legal copyright trouble with Disney,” said Travis Frazier, senior in mechanical engineering and vice president of Thumpers. “We made a bunch of T-shirts that had the picture of the Thumper on it, and Disney wasn’t too happy about that.”

Although they have a unique nickname, the ISU chapter of Theta Delta Chi tries to stand out in several other ways.

“We are all about brotherhood, and we like to be really involved in Greek Week and Homecoming events,” said Peter Ampe, sophomore in political science and the chap-ter’s scholarship chair. “This house is also over 100 years old, and the longest standing greek structure at ISU.”

The nickname means tradition for many members.

“We pride ourselves on being really tra-ditional, and this just feeds into that,” Nilles said.

partment had to look at how it was being taught and what was causing this.

They fired and rehired the pro-fessor to get the right fit and teach-ing style for ISU students, gathered a new team to construct and teach the class and put in to place Math Help.

Math Help is a department-based study tool that is offered for free every afternoon of the week. This allows students to get one-on-one time with upperclassman who have successfully completed the math courses.

“These changes alone raised the percentage of success by 30 percent,” Klienmann said.

He also explained the changes happening with introduction to probability and matrices, intro-duction to mathematical ideas, trigonometry and trigonometry and analytic geometry, which took on the same process of reevaluat-ing and redesigning.

Kliemann also talked about a new study the math department is currently in the process of con-

ducting with the calculus class lectures.

“We have split the lectures in to two groups. For one semester, one of the groups will use clickers and the other will not. The next semes-ter we will flip-flop those classes, so the professor who was teaching with the clickers before will teach without them,” Kliemann said.

He explained that this will help determine how much of the suc-cess is from the clickers and how much of the success if from the dif-ferent professors and their teach-ing styles.

“By making these changes and giving the changes time to have a full effect,” Kliemann said, “my hope is to get all of the 100- and 200-level courses up to a success rate of [80 percent to 85 percent].”

Math, however, is not the only failed class at Iowa State. Essentially, any class can be failed, but there are many resources of-fered to students to help prevent this from happening.

The Academic Success Center is a resource that provides many different options for learning. They not only offer tutoring, but

also supplemental instruction, ac-ademic coaching, and a one-credit Psych 131 class that helps teach students how to set goals learn study strategies and gain time management skills. This course is mainly for first year students.

Tutoring is a campus wide option that is offered for many classes. An undergrad that meets the qualifications meets two times a week with a group of two to four students.

“We believe in peer interaction. Sometimes it helps to have other students there who voice their questions, because sometimes a student doesn’t know what they don’t understand,” said Wendy Stevenson, Learning Student Services specialist.

Stevenson said she believed that though a student is still work-ing with other students, the added pressure of a large lecture hall is gone, making it more comfortable to ask questions and learn.

Another campus-wide op-tion is supplemental instruction. Supplemental instruction is for mainly 100- and 200-level courses that have had a high failure rate

historically at Iowa State.“We hire [supplemental in-

struction] leaders that meet the requirements, and then they actu-ally go to the class they are helping with and sit in on the lecture. They also then hold study sessions three times a week,” said Susan Rhoades, coordinator of the Academic Success Center.

Rhoades explained that it has been proven that the more regular-ly a student goes to the extra study sessions, the grades have shown a half to a whole letter grade raise compared to the students who don’t go as regularly or at all.

Academic coaching is another option that offers a more one-on-one kind of interaction. It helps students figure out what is getting in the way of their learning, figure out a solid schedule and make a plan of action.

“We try to work with faculty to recruit students for all of these po-sitions that would make a good fit,” Rhoades said.

Though classes can get tricky, there are many changes happening on campus and many ways to help do well with any and all classes.

dealing with $100,000 or more would have to go through public readings at two board meet-ings before any momentum on the pitch could initiate.

Public forums in at least six different loca-tions would be necessary each quarter and 30 minutes of the beginning of each board meeting would be dedicated to public commentary.

In an 8:30 a.m. Iowa Senate subcommittee meeting on Wednesday, the bill underwent its first hearing.

According to the Des Moines Register, the Regents were “harshly criticized and strongly

defended,” but no decisions were made.Creator Danielson said, “I believe the bill is

needed because transparency and accountabil-ity are the bedrock of public decision-making processes.”

Sheila Koppin, Regent communication officer, said via email that the board had “no further comment beyond the remarks made

[Wednesday] morning by the Board’s State Relations Officer, Keith Saunders.”

A transcript of Saunders’ comments was unavailable, but notes provided by Koppin from his statement indicate that the Board welcomed the idea of the bill.

Keep studies first in Iowa universities

In another bout of controversy, a state legislator has said that Bruce Rastetter, the president pro tem of the Iowa Board of Regents, has threatened academic freedom at the University of Iowa. State Sen. Herman Quirmbach, of Ames, said as much after learning about an email sent by Rastetter to the president of the University of Iowa, Sally Mason, after being contacted by the renewable fuels industry about an article published by a professor there.

The executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Monte Shaw, emailed Rastetter about that article, written by professor Jerald Schnoor. In his email, he said: “You may have seen this ridiculous story about a U of Iowa professor calling for an end to ethanol production in Iowa due to water use. The guy is an embar-rassment to the regent university.” After receiving that email, Rastetter forwarded it to Mason, saying, “Sally, the industry would appreciate being able to provide factual information so this professor isn’t uninformed. Is there a way to accomplish that.”

Mason’s chief of staff forwarded that to Schnoor, who called Shaw twice but was unable to talk to him. Schnoor told the Des Moines Register, “I didn’t think the request was unusual, and I’m happy to talk with the Renewable Fuels Association.”

This controversy follows (mostly negative) news about ties between a company Rastetter used to own (AgriSol) and its plans for land development in Tanzania. Even more recently was the controversy over Iowa State’s Harkin Institute and whether it would have to publish papers related to agricultural policy after another in-stitute, the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development, approved them.

The Board of Regents is not a play-ground for economic battles between “big business” and “sustainability.” Their job is to select the men and women most qualified to manage the state’s universities and serve as a check on haphazard growth and potentially bad decision making (buying land, building facilities, adding majors).

In the case of the Harkin Institute and the email from Shaw, both aca-demics involved - Iowa State professor David Peterson, interim director of the Harkin Institute, and Schnoor - have said, in their view, academic freedom is not implicated. Without a smok-ing gun, Peterson and Schnoor, who say these are not issues of academic freedom, have to be believed.

Playing games of partisanship, in industry and government, with higher education, is wrong. One notices a trend, in all three recent instances of controversy with the Board of Regents, of Democrats falling on one side and Republicans on another.

Iowa recognizes that education is the key to an independent, comfortable life. When the United States Mint had the state quarters program, Iowans chose the Iowa quarter to have a design that featured a schoolhouse with the words “Foundation in Education.” Everyone knows that the education of a society’s youth is the foundation upon which its success — economically, po-litically, intellectually, and every other way — grows.

The Regents are responsible for en-suring that Iowa has a good tomorrow. They need to avoid getting involved in the small contests of today, and we need to let them.

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio’s re-sponse to President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech included a

bold assertion concerning the recent global financial crisis: “This idea – that our problems were caused by a government that was too small – it’s just not true. In fact, a major cause of our recent downturn was a housing crisis created by reckless government policies.”

It has become something of a banality for the Republican Party to blame the recession on just two culprits: Government Sponsored Enterprises (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) and the Community Reinvestment Act.

The claim is derived from Peter Wallison’s dissention on the Federal Crisis Inquiry Commission (which, at the time, was com-

posed of six democrats and four republi-cans). His argument is that reforms to the affordable housing goals for Government Sponsored Enterprises caused lax lending standards. Wallison claims that Community Reinvestment Act forced banks to dole out high-risk loans to low and moderate income borrowers.

However, there is no evidence whatso-ever that suggests that either Government Sponsored Enterprises or the Community Reinvestment Act caused the housing bubble. It is a myth that has been proven wrong time and time again by the Financial Crisis Inquiry

Commission, 16 separate case studies per-formed by all 12 Federal Reserve banks, and countless independent studies (it has took me weeks to read through them all).

Though Government Sponsored Enterprises like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac engaged in risky subprime lending, it was done at a very late stage in the bubble. Federal data shows they had little impact on the recession. This doesn’t mean they are justified in their ac-tions. Government Sponsored Enterprises lost up to $230 billion during the crisis.

Still, Republicans place blame on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to soften the criticism aimed at private sector lending – their con-


If you enjoy great food and love to explore cooking as a foodie, you don’t have to break the

bank to do so. Cooking on a college budget can be hard, both finan-cially and in regards to time.

I understand that it can be tempting to order a pizza, grab a burrito and pick up sandwich, but too much of this on-the-go eating is unhealthy. And in the long run, it’s more expensive than cooking at home. I’m not advocating that you completely cut this out of your routine, but I recommend rethink-ing how you shop and eat.

As a vegetarian and foodie, conscious eating and cooking is important to me. When I say “conscious eating” I mean know-ing where your food comes from, which means trying to buy locally if you can and thinking of paying attention to reducing food waste. In addition to this, it means think-ing about how healthy the food is for you. I am no calorie counter

and certainly enjoy sweets and other rich foods, but I do try to pay attention to eating a good variety of foods, plenty of fruits and vegetables, fiber-rich grains, and healthy a source of protein.

In order to help you rethink how you grocery shop and eat, I suggest several articles. Some helpful, concise resources I’ve found include the following articles: “Eat Like a Foodie at Home, Without Breaking Your Budget,” “29 Smart and Easy Tips to Reduce Food Waste,” and “12 Fruits and Vegetables That Last for Months”.

“Eat Like a Foodie at Home,

Without Breaking Your Budget” offers some practical tips for how to make your dollar go further for food. One of the biggest con-cerns they offer advice on is how to make your protein cheaper, because protein is normally the biggest expense.

If you’re not a vegetarian, that’s okay — there are other ways to cut down on meat prices. However, one of the best solutions is trying to eat less meat in your diet. Like meatless Mondays, or only having meat at one meal a day.

In addition to this, there are several other cooking tips the contributing chefs and food writ-ers had to offer. These include slow cooking, braising, and salting meat. These cooking techniques allow you to buy cheaper, tougher cuts of meat that will taste the same as a more expensive cut when prepared. When you save on meat, it leaves extra money for you to buy spices, sauces or other meat

seasonings that can make your meat dish gourmet.

Also consider trying to buy locally when buying meat . Often you can buy your meat, especially beef, straight from the farm. This typically means buying a side of beef, which is quite a large por-tion. If you have freezer space or friends to split the meat and cost with, this is a great option.

As I have mentioned earlier, switching to vegetarian options is ultimately the most cost and time effective option. Beans are cheap, and they can be incorporated into virtually any dish.

Chickpeas are one of my favorite protein sources because they are so versatile. Toasted chickpeas tossed with olive oil are a great snack as well as wonderful addition to soups and salads. They are also great in hummus and many chickpea salads, which are a


During his State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama called

for an increase of the minimum wage from $7.25 per hour to $9 by 2015 and indexing it for infla-tion (so workers actually make more money). This is sure to lead to another long Congressional debate, but is whether raising the minimum wage is actually a good idea? Let’s actually look at the is-sue objectively.

As for the “pros,” to begin, minimum wage is lower than it used to be. It is not indexed for inflation; as the price of goods goes up minimum wage has not. In the late 1960s, minimum wage was worth about $10 an hour at the current value of the dollar. This makes it harder for families to make ends meet. Obama’s new proposal would index for inflation. This would allow for minimum wage to “increase” more often; the dollar amount would change, but when inflation is controlled for workers would actually be making the same amount.

Another reason we should increase the minimum wage again is because we can. The wealth gap

has grown ridiculously. People are no longer impressed by mil-lionaires; we have moved on to billionaires. While the richer are getting richer, plenty of families still suffer from the recession. As a nation, we have backed each other up; will big business vs. the rest of us end that?

Also, some people argue that the market should set the minimum wage. When there is a demand for workers, they will be paid better. The market may does not know best. Right now our market is set up to benefit those at the top of the labor chain. Maybe the people who actually make minimum wage wouldn’t mind some help from the government.

As for the “cons,” there are some valid arguments as to why now may not be right time to raise the minimum wage. With

ObamaCare starting to kick in, the extra costs may actually be too much for some businesses to handle. Our economy is still frail, even though it is recovering, add-ing an increased minimum wage with Obamacare costs (companies have to provide health insurance to full time employees) could be disastrous for businesses.

perfect lunch option. Recipes for these can be found in the article.

Melanie Pinola, the author of this article, sums up basic guidelines for getting the most out of your dollar and cooking gourmet foods, saying:

-Buy from less conven-tional/mass marketplaces. Explore different markets, and grow your own if you can.

-Buy what you can whole and unprocessed.

-Learn how to preserve your foods (e.g., how to store food properly or food preser-vation techniques).

-Use all parts of the food if possible. Use chicken bones to make stock, et cetera.

-Splurge on items that will enhance the rest of the meal and where a little will go far.

The article “29 Smart and Easy Tips to Reduce Food Waste” is fairly straightfor-ward. It is great source and outlines some specific sugges-tions for reducing food waste

both when you shop and at home. But the most important tip is to be a careful shopper. Plan your meals for the week and buy only what you need.

Finally, “12 Fruits and Vegetables That Last for Months” highlights a variety of fruits and vegetables that are generally inexpensive, filling, healthy and last for a long time. It not only profiles the benefits of these fruits and veggies but also offers tips for storing them in order to make them last.

Conscious eating on a college budget can be done. It requires effort and being intentional but it is worth it.

Not only can you eat better tasting, better quality food in the present, but cooking like this offers you health benefits for your future. Good food and healthy cooking is an impor-tant investment to make.

stituents. We call this “denial”.All of this evidence is contrary to

Rubio’s agenda. But he needs to sell his product, and if history doesn’t like his product, all he has to do is rewrite history. By rewriting history, Rubio may bolster himself as a prospect for presidential nominee.

Why do we allow politicians to practice illegitimate revisionism? History is a source of identity, and when historical revision is used for ideological gains rather than for scholastic means, that identity is lost.

Revising the events leading up to and causing the Great Recession

is dishonest, but belief in the purity of free market capitalism is at the foundations of the Republican Party. The recession revealed the flaws in private sector lending (and the failure of government oversight), and in so doing unearthed weaknesses in the Republican platform.

Nevertheless, Rubio’s attempts exemplify the marketing involved in politics nowadays. Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of fab-ricating a false sense of demand for their political expertise. It seems that both parties stimulate this demand by casting the opposite side as tyrannical.

By doing this, the public places an

unrealistic value on the warrior who will fight the tyrants for us.

In Rubio’s case, the tyrannical democrats caused the recession and we need him to defend us.

French sociologist Jean Baudrillard describes this demand as “need creation” in his work “For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Sign”. Baudrillard contends that needs are constructed, rather than innate. We attribute value to objects that stimulate production. The “ideo-logical genesis of needs” precedes the production for those needs.

Ideological marketing sets in mo-tion the genesis of needs.

Thus, political entities create

value in their platform by displaying themselves as the mega-superhu-mans ready to save the world. To establish demand for this, there must be a villain. To Marco Rubio, “more government is going to limit our op-portunities”, therefore, government must be the villain. With no villain, why would we need our Florida hero?

For the decade leading up to the collapse, the Federal Reserve, under both Chairman Greenspan and Bernanke, “failed to stem the flow of toxic mortgages” (FCIC). The banks enjoyed 30 years of deregulation on the shadow banking system and the over-the-counter derivatives market. Not to mention that the govern-

ment bought up all of those toxic loans, instead of allocating capital to depository banks.

So, who needs a hero? The taxpay-ers who had to pay for an irresponsi-ble government that failed to regulate a reckless out-of-control market.

Rubio can make the government his villain, but not based on the myth that it created the recession, rather that it allowed for the recession to happen. But, first Rubio has to admit the flaws in pure capitalism.

This weekend, two of the most decorated line-backer’s in ISU history will be attending the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

Both A.J. Klein and Jake Knott have been in two different places since the ISU loss to Tulsa in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31, 2012, and both have taken two different roads to get to this year’s combine. But both have a common goal: Impress scouts.

The difference be-tween the two at the com-bine, is that Klein will be doing all the tests — men-tal and physical — Knott

will do his interviews and mental tests and save all of his physical tests for Iowa State’s pro day.

Klein and Knott will be a part of Group No. 9, the linebacker group at the combine. The group ar-

The fast and the futile

WreStling:

Gadson’s fourth honor this seasonKyven Gadson’s name just keeps coming up, as he was named Big 12 Wrestler of the Week for the fourth time this season.This is the third consecutive week in which an ISU wrestler has earned the award. Gadson earned it two weeks ago and Tanner Weatherman earned it last week.

—Jake Calhoun

Edward Kemboi is fast — fast enough, he believes, that other runners in the Big 12 will be racing for second place as he cruises through the finish line.

Kemboi has the fastest time recorded in the Big 12 Conference this season in both the 800-meter dash and the 1,000-meter run. His attitude could be seen as cocky, but the sopho-more carries it as a calcu-lated confidence.

“It’s not going to be tough at all. Looking at the standings; the closest guy is three seconds behind my time,” Kemboi said about the upcoming Big 12 Indoor Championships. “It’s not going to be hard at all.”

The time difference between Big 12 leader Kemboi and his closest competition, Oklahoma’s senior Frezer Legesse, is 2.58 seconds to be exact.

After only two years, Kemboi broke two records at Iowa State in the two races he holds the best times for in the Big 12. There is always room for improvement.

“He’s running slower this year than he was last year,” said assistant coach Travis Hartke on Kemboi’s early abilities. “You could see it immediately with him with his workouts. As a freshman, he ran a 1:46 and broke our school record, so it was pretty immediate.”

Although he may be a bit slower, his mind is quicker than ever. At the New Balance Invitational in New York City, one of

the largest indoor events of the year, Kemboi led a race from start to finish — a feat only possible with a large amount of maturity.

“He’s grown and ma-tured,” said coach Corey Ihmels. “Last year at this time he would have had the ability, but he wouldn’t have had the maturity to lead start-to-finish. He’s a stronger runner.”

As Kemboi recalled the events leading up to the race, he said sometimes in a race where he takes the lead, his body may not be able to keep up the pace throughout the entire race, but after Ihmels told Kemboi he can’t get behind, he was more comfortable.

“I’m just going by coach,” Kemboi said. “Last year I focused on workouts, but this year I just go by

Linebackers ‘combine’

With roughly three weeks until the Big 12 Duals and Championships, the ISU wrestling team is taking time in the wrestling room to perfect some things and build on the success it has had so far this season.

The Cyclones (9-4, 1-2 Big 12) have been red-hot the past two weeks, winning three dual meets by a combined score of 92-22, including shellacking Eastern Michigan 39-0 Sunday.

Iowa State picked up bonus points in almost 74 percent of the matches it won during the three-meet tear.

what coach tells me to do.”As a student of the sport, the sophomore

studies his competition, which allows him to beat certain opponents more easily.

“Last meet I had a guy from Minnesota,” Kembo said. “I knew he was really good, so I needed to focus. I didn’t care about anything but my key, and my key was that guy. If he takes a lead, I need to stick to him. I have to prove it to myself sometimes.”

Ihmels reiterated that message and said as a coach, it is his responsibility to prepare his athletes.

“You have to know what’s going on around you,” Ihmels said. “When you toe the line at the Big 12 meet or the national meet, everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. You have to know how everybody is going to approach the race and he has to be ready for a lot of dif-ferent scenarios.”

Kemboi’s maturity and scouting only adds to his natural abilities as an athlete.

“He’s very talented and he is probably go-ing to be a professional after he is done here,” Hartke said. “For him, he has to put it into per-spective because he doesn’t have to work that hard to run what he is running.”

“He has a lot of range — he almost made cross-country nationals. No 800[-meter] run-ner in the country [in the final last year] even runs cross-country.”

Ihmels took Kemboi’s range a step further, saying Kemboi is ready to run the mile with the talents he has, but that he may have some different opinions on that.

“I did a lot of cross-country training,” Kemboi said. “I have a mental thing where I

don’t like the mile. It’s too far, but coach tells me I would be good at the mile.”

With Kemboi’s ability to run the 800-me-ter dash, the 1,000-meter run, compete in the 4x400 meter relay and also have the skills to race in the mile, the opportunities Kemboi has in his third year are insurmountable.

At the Big 12 Championships, Kemboi will be running for first place, so his competition may have to settle for a second place battle.

start developing scar tissue and all that in there to make it more stable,” Knott said.

While his team prepared for a Liberty Bowl appear-ance on New Year’s Eve, Knott worked to get his shoulder’s full mobility back.

“There was more build-ing up that intense rehab just about every week and chang-ing it up,” Knott said. “Still not having your full mobility back and all that, I wasn’t able to work out at the intensity I wanted to.”

This week is the four-month mark for Knott since his surgery, when Dr. Gordon Nuber of the Northwestern Orthopedics Institute oper-ated on his shoulder. Nuber is the current team physician for the NFL’s Chicago Bears.

It took Knott until now to be back to almost his full strength, but he still isn’t there yet. He kept his strength up during rehab doing things sta-bility exercises and push-ups.

Right now if Knott did the bench press at the combine, which consists of bench-pressing 225 pounds as many times as possible, he believes he’d hit “somewhere in the mid-20s” in terms of reps.

The difference between performing this weekend at the combine and waiting for Iowa State’s pro day is signifi-cant, however.

“I’d probably put up any-where from 5-to-10 more reps at my pro day than I would now and that’s a big difference,” Knott said. “I’d probably drop another tenth or two tenths on my 40, even from what I can run right now, versus what I can run after training and cre-ating that muscle memory and all that for it.”

Knott knows most of the questions he’ll face from other teams’ executives will revolve around the injuries he’s dealt with throughout Iowa State.

When asked if his shoulder was healed, he had a definite answer: “Absolutely.”

Klein’s training

Opposite of Knott, A.J. Klein has been in full health while training for the NFL Combine.

Klein has been working at the Athletes Performance Facility in Pensacola, Fla., for more than a month and has been able to operate at full strength while preparing.

“I’ve just been focusing on strength and speed and break-

ing down technique and trying to shave seconds or tenths of seconds off times and overall improvement,” Klein said.

Klein’s health also per-mitted him to participate in the East-West Shrine Game, which took place on Jan. 19.

Klein, who was one of the 23 defensive players who all saw snaps, finished the game third in tackles by a linebacker with two total tackles, with 1.5 tackles for loss.

Along with the experience of playing in another game, Klein got more experience with the interviewing at the game, much like what he’ll see at the NFL Combine.

Klein said, “I’ve already gone through interview pro-cesses at the Shrine Game and everything, so I’m really not nervous or anything about interviews.”

While both of the former ISU linebackers have taken different paths after the season concluded, both have stayed in contact with each other.

“I’ve been in contact with [Knott], he was down here for a week visiting with the doctors and everything,” Klein said. “We’ve been talking about ev-erything and I know we’re both anxious and ready to get down there to Indy.”

“I think we’ve been wrestling pretty well,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson. “We’re excited about get-ting better. We’ve got three weeks to really peak before the Big 12 Championships and the NCAA tour-nament, so I think it’s an ideal time for us to be at our best.”

After the Cyclones finished last season with only four wins, few thought they would have as much success as they have had this year.

Since starting this season 0-2 and losing 32-3 at Iowa on Dec. 1, 2012, the Cyclones have bounced back from the worst season in program history.

“To be where we are now is some-thing pretty special,” said ISU red-shirt sophomore Michael Moreno. “It’s important that people know we’re still Iowa State, we’re still going to strap on the head gear ... and we’re still going to scrap with you regard-less. ... We finally have that instituted into our heads; it’s starting to click.”

Now that things are clicking, the Cyclones want to keep it going in practice until Big 12s, which can

be difficult with such a large gap be-tween competition.

The primary focus is going to be on keeping wrestlers well-rested and healthy, Jackson said. He also wants to add a “razor-sharp” edge to their performance, which he said can be difficult while also trying to keep the wrestlers rested and healthy.

“That’s a fine line, because we do want to put them in some very, very tough situations from a train-ing standpoint, from a conditioning standpoint, from a live-wrestling standpoint,” Jackson said.

Coaches and wrestlers are opti-mistic about the remainder of this season. The Big 12 Championships are going to be a good indication of how far Iowa State’s young wrestlers have actually come this year.

“I think we’re heading in an awe-some direction,” said ISU redshirt se-nior Max Mayfield. “All the stuff our coaching staff is doing — with coach Jackson and Troy [Nickerson] and Travis [Paulson] — they’re helping us out in all of our individual areas and getting us where we need to go, so I see us going nowhere but up.”

Tabitha Jamerson, junior in advertising, is a late night DJ for KURE 88.5 on Mondays from 10 p.m. to midnight.

Q: How did you get started in KURE?A: I first heard about it when I was a freshman, and I just kind of listened to it. I really liked what I was hearing so the next fall my best friend and I got DJ appli-cations, then we actually ended up doing marketing and stuff for the radio station.

Q: How does it work, working the late shift?A: Every DJ is assigned a shift – you only have to do it for a minimum of one hour a week. Our current show is two hours, every Monday from 10 until midnight and that’s the only time that we are on the air just because there’s so many DJs and everybody needs their time throughout the week.

Q: What is your show?A: My show is called “Staircase Whit.” Like I said, it’s shared with my roommate. Our DJ names are DJ

Revelry and DJ Penumbra. I’m DJ Revelry.

Q: What kind of music do you play?A: Generally indie and alternative type stuff, we tend to get a little dance-y occasionally, because we’re later at night, I feel like we can get away with that. We oc-casionally toss in 80s and 90s music, kind of what ever we’re feeling. A little bit of everything.

Q: Does your show get a lot of attention?A: On occasionm, yeah, if people call and ask us about songs and requests maybe every once in a blue moon. We have a Facebook page a lot of people will talk to us on [it] and like our stuff. And that’s where we get most of the people from conversation-wise.

Q: Does DJing affect your schoolwork?A: Time commitment-wise its not really that bad. Because you’re only here two hours a week, and I typically put my playlist together the day of my show. How we do it is we just divide up each hour. I do one hour, and then Molly will do the second hour, and it takes me about an hour to put a playlist together, so that doesn’t really take that long. And then just being involved with the station, I’ve met a lot of cool people. One of my really good friends is the programming director. It’s a good way to meet people, and you get free music.

Sometimes, people who want to design games don’t get to until they are lucky enough to get hired by one of the many companies that excel at it; and even then, they’d be hard-pressed to get the position they want. With ISU’s Game Development Club, or GDC, students can now see what it’s like to make real games for real people before they even graduate.

The ISU GDC was originally formed last spring with the goal of providing access on a higher level to information and experience about game development. The club began when two groups happened to find out they had the exact same idea: Start and manage a club meant for game developers and enthusiasts. Immediately, the groups started working together and, before long, a constitution was defined.

Now, a year later, the club has lots of events and accomplishments un-der its belt and on the calendar. Last November, a game development chal-lenge called Nanogademo was held, which challenged students to create a full game by the end of the month. GDC is also in constant contact with Microsoft and Google, as one of

their goals is to demonstrate to these companies how skilled its students are. Some members of the group al-ready have internships lined up with Microsoft and the companies are in-terested in getting more resumes.

This year at Veishea, the group will show off its most ambitious en-deavor yet: to create and develop the best-polished games they’ve made in the course of the semester and dem-onstrate and display them during the annual ISU celebration.

Also hosted by GDC this year will be a Game Jam — sometimes called a “Hackathon” — in which participants are given a weekend to design the best playable game they can. Winners with the highest-quality game will re-ceive a prize.

The group also has plans to get a guest speaker from the game develop-ment industry to talk on campus for the university.

GDC President Wallace Davis, senior in computer engineering, was one of the students who helped origi-nally form the GDC. Davis ran for president with the understanding of what the club should be, and what it would need to achieve to get there.

“As a group, the club exists to provide resources and a community for game development here at ISU,” Davis said. “We are a multi-disci-plinary group, and we have a pretty decent number of different majors represented.”

Davis said that individual projects are not governed by anyone in the group and everyone is free to learn and develop what they please. Since every game that gets developed has rights that belong to the owner, that student may choose to turn it into an “indie” (independent) title or perhaps an App Store game.

Brittany Oswald, senior in com-puter engineering, is the secretary for the GDC. As one of the original found-ing members, Oswald said she too has a particular interest in ensuring the club’s success and longevity.

“We are trying to create a positive, fun atmosphere by hosting interest-ing club meetings which are enter-taining and meet the needs of our members,” Oswald said. “The purpose of the club is to provide team building opportunities and introduce mem-bers to the tools, tutorials and tech-niques used for game development.”

Oswald is also part of the International Game Developers Association and the Iowa Game Developers Friendship Club, through which she has met ISU alumni who have worked or are currently work-ing for game development compa-nies like Electronics Arts, or EA, as well as “indie” game developers. She was also selected to attend the Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco in March.

Because of her love for creativ-ity, Oswald has created a multitude of

interactive games. Her favorite is the aptly-named Dinosaurs Game that she made for her 3-year-old nephew. She said it was difficult to implement and learn the balance of challenge, fun and playability that a game for a toddler requires.

“At first I had to redesign the whole interface of my game to make it easier for him to navigate and use. It was so much fun to design the game with him in mind and to see him enjoy the game I created for him,” Oswald said. She has plans to integrate 3D mechanics into her Dinosaurs Game, which might even integrate the Xbox 360’s Kinect sensor.

Both Davis and Oswald said the club does a very good job of helping overcome inevitable challenges that game designing brings, in addition to increased contact with potential employers. The group encourages students interested in game develop-ment to take classes that will even further help them succeed in the field.

Davis said that the club accepts all applicants, “because if they were interested enough in game develop-ment to find out club page and apply, then they will feel right at home as a member of our club.”

Anyone interested in being a member of the GDC can apply online at the club’s Student Organization page, http://www.sodb.stuorg.iastate.edu/view.php?id=1946 , by clicking the “Request to Join” link.

By Levi Castle

Jumping into the Xbox 360 “Crysis 3” beta, which was live from January 29 to February 12, I immediately could tell that it was going to be similar to “Crysis 2.” What I didn’t anticipate was how right I would be.The beta was online multiplayer only, which is no surprise as Crytek wanted to get major bugs out of the way. While I know this was a beta and not necessarily representative of the final game, I couldn’t help but feel that Crytek got lazy with this one.Allow me to clarify: the game feels like a clone of “Crysis 2” with a few adjustments: new maps and a new weapon. Everything that made the series famous is here, from the nanosuit to the exceptional graphics, but all of my problems with the last iteration are also present in this one.Killcams are still horrendously buggy, hit detec-tion is sub-par, and the lack of weapon variety is, quite frankly, shocking at this point in the genre.Once again, I know it was beta, but this scares me because these problems were in the full ver-sion of “Crysis 2” and never got fixed.In all, this is definitely a GameFly title for me. I will not be purchasing it, but I do want to see if Crytek supports it better than the last one. Also, the series’ campaigns have always been awe-some, so there’s that.

When Quentin Tarantino attaches his name to a movie, you automatically know one thing: There will be blood. All of his movies are higher on the violence scale, and “The Man With The Iron Fists” is no exception. However, this movie is only presented by Tarantino, and it is actually directed by RZA, more well known as the “leader” of the Wu-Tang Clan.“The Man With The Iron Fists” is a gritty martial arts movie, bringing back elements that are lacking from more modern movies. Set in Jungle Village, China, a local clan leader is assassinated, causing uneasiness and strife in a town filled with sin. An eclectic mix of fighters and weaponry are bought in to both save and burn the village, including the son of the clan leader, the usurper, mercenaries, Brit-ish diplomats, the madam of a brothel and the local blacksmith.The creativity that goes into the movie’s fight scenes and weapons is a refreshing sight. While the fighting is choreographed, it looks a bit less polished to give the movie a natural feeling. However, some unnecessarily slow plot points seem to have been thrown in the middle of the story, and really take away from the rest of the movie. RZA himself is a bit too calm to carry the re-sponsibilities of the leading man, but the rest of the actors in the film make up for it.

By Maggie McGinity

A wise man once told me that the point of singing a song is to tell a story. Coheed and Cambria take this idea to the extreme: All of their albums are concept albums, following the story line of “The Amory Wars,” a saga written by the band’s frontman Claudio Sanchez. “The Afterman: Descension,” and its prequel, “The Afterman: Ascension,” tell the story of Dr. Sirius Amory, the storyline’s namesake.This musical science fiction novel starts out sounding a lot like Pink Floyd. It’s solid rock throughout, sometimes with a more progres-sive sound. The band’s admitted influence of Led Zeppelin is especially heard in parts of “Iron Fist,” a refreshingly slow and quiet song which starkly contrasts its intense lyrics. It turns almost poppy at the end, almost seeming to do so in jest.Musically, there’s little bad or wrong in this album. Coheed and Cambria has a very specific sound they’ve been assembling for years, and their hard work shows on this album. Parts of the album are repetitive and a few scream-type vocals seem out of place, but the way Sanchez modifies his singing voice to portray different “Amory Wars” characters more than makes up for it.
