Transcript of 4.22.13
Veishea 2013 has come and gone without too many problems compared to past Veishea celebra-tions marred with memories of riots and injury. This year’s celebration was successful and memo-rable for all the right reasons.
“Every one of our categories was lower this year except for criminal citations, which were up from last year,” said Sgt. Brad Baker of the Ames Police.
According to the Ames Police records, arrests decreased from 62 arrests during Veishea 2012 to 43 arrests during Veishea 2013.
Citations, though, slightly increased from 46 people cited last year to 52 this year. The depart-ment also had 346 calls, down from 377 calls in 2012.
The Ames Police started keeping track of their Veishea weekend statistics at 3 p.m. Friday and
went until 7 a.m. Sunday.Baker stated the drop in arrests was due in part
to the proactive efforts of the ISU and Ames Police Departments along with the help of the university.
He also highlighted the cold weather as playing a part in the drop.
“From what I saw, the weekend started out pret-ty busy, but then it slowed down and ended up being a pretty smooth Veishea,” Baker said.
Baker pointed to the two car flipping incidents

The Graduate and Professional Students Senate will be installing the new executive council members at the Monday meeting.
Anna Prisacari, the Senate’s 2013-2014 president, showed interest in the position in November 2012 while she held another executive council position as the chief information officer.
“I really enjoyed working and get-ting involved with university policies and trying my best to help graduate and professional students,” Prisacari said.
Prisacari is a doctorate student in chemistry.
Prisacari will be working closely with Brian Tlach, vice president of Graduate and Professional Students Senate, to improve the organiza-tion. Tlach is a doctorate student in chemistry.
Two main resolutions that
Prisacari and Tlach have for the up-coming term are graduate health insurance and leadership and involvement.
For graduate students, premiums are paid by the department or pro-gram for teaching and research assis-tants, Tlach said.
The graduate health insurance given to the graduate students, how-ever, is not extended to the families of the students.
“The graduate students that are on assisstance-ship have really good health insurance through Thielen [Student Health Center], but unfortu-nately for the families, it is very cost-prohibited to have it,” Tlach said.
The executive council will work with the Students and Scholar Health Insurance Program Office on this resolution.

Anna Prisacari, graduate student in chemistry and president of the Graduate and Professional Students Senate for 2013-14, hopes to address issues such as heath insurance for graduate students as well as leadership.

Michelle Shealy tied for fifth in the balance beam final on Sunday, the highest finish ever by a Cyclone at the NCAA Championships.
Before the individual event finals, Shealy performed in the all-around competition at a semifinal meet on
Friday. She scored 39.05 and finished in 13th place.
Shealy scored a season-high 9.825 on floor exercise at the semifinal meet. She also scored 9.550 on vault and 9.775 on the uneven bars.
Shealy tied a career-high 9.900 on her balance beam routine and came in second place in that event at the semi-final meet. To qualify for the beam fi-
nal, Shealy had to place in the top four of her semifinal including ties.
For the semifinal meet, Shealy added a new skill to her beam routine to make it more difficult. She added a Gaynor — a dismount containing a backwards flip while moving forward — in hopes of increasing her score enough to qualify for beam finals.
At the event final, Shealy scored
9.8375 on her beam routine, finish-ing tied for fifth out of nine qualifiers. Florida’s Bridget Sloan won the beam title with a score of 9.900.
Shealy earned All-America hon-ors by qualifying for an individual event final.
She is the ISU gymnastics team’s first All-American since 2007 and sixth all-time.

ISU locks down 3rd at Big 12
as the ones garnering the most attention during the weekend.
The first car incident took place at the 300 block of Welch Avenue around midnight on Saturday. A group of people were seen rocking a car back and forth until it flipped onto its side.
One person from the Welch Avenue incident has been ar-rested so far. Joshua Ryan of
Spencer, Iowa, was charged with second degree criminal mischief and is not believed to be an ISU student, according to Ames Police.
The second car flipping in-cident happened at 2:25 a.m. at 2035 Sunset Drive, a few blocks from the Welch Avenue incident.
Currently, the Ames Police have no suspects related to the Sunset Drive incident or addi-tional suspects for the Welch
Avenue one.The police have released a
picture retrieved from a social media site that shows the peo-ple flipping the car on the 300 block of Welch Avenue. Ames Police are asking for the com-munity’s help in finding the rest of the individuals respon-sible for flipping the two cars as they continue their ongoing investigation.
Kyle Dirks, Butch’s Auto and Towing Services em-
ployee, said the company dealt with the two incidents and flipped the cars back onto their wheels.
Dirk said the car on Welch Avenue had scratches on the side along with a line down its side caused by the flip.
“It was a pretty simple re-covery that took a little over five minutes to do. It was just drunk people who flipped it over,” Dirks said.
Baker stated overall, this year’s Veishea was tamer compared to some years’ past celebrations.
“It was a pretty unevent-ful weekend. Arrests were down and besides the two car flipping incidents, everything went pretty smooth,” Baker said.

in pursuing and securing leadership roles and opportunities while still in the gradu-ate and professional programs.
“Every graduate student must partici-pant in some level of involvement, prefer-ably some leadership position by the time they graduate,” Tlach said.
The resolution is to prepare students and create a more leadership-oriented in-dividual who will either go into academia or industry life, Prisacari said.
The two resolutions will be presented at the Graduate and Professional Students Senate meeting on Monday for approval to be worked on during the upcoming sum-mer months.
The addition of a graduate research conference is another idea that the presi-dent and vice president are looking to add to the program.
“We want to promote more network opportunities and collaborative opportu-nities for grad students. We know a lot of students, for example, come from multi-
disciplinary programs so that one of the other reasons why we wanted to create a graduate research conference,” Prisacari said.

E a r t h Day might
have been a holiday created to celebrate our environment, but
it’s also a box on the calendar that should have you reevaluating your choices, especially when shopping.
And, with song lyrics espousing thrift shops full of alligator shoes and velour tracksuits, there has never been a better time to get into vintage.
Anything But New on Ames’ Main Street isn’t all just the old knick-knacks or dusty fine china as it looks from the outside. Tucked into the front corner of the antique shop is
a vintage clothing section full
of hand-p i c k e d
items from as far back to the 1940s.Beyond the 70-year-old prom
dress cascading in pink ruffles and evening dress in red pleats, there are some unique, wearable items that could make quite the statement in any modern wardrobe.
A selection of inexpensive silk scarves are an easy entry point for the first timer, and the store stocks them in every pattern imaginable.
We saw a great blazer with just the right eighties edge in a blue check. At one point in its life, it was probably part of a career woman’s power suit, but now it can stand alone any Friday night with a chunky necklace over a pair of black leggings. And, that is part of the beauty of vintage shopping. The art is in the mix and match, and the rules all fly out of the window.
Dresses from every time period — store-bought, tailor-made, or home-sewn — all have delightful period details and silhouettes, and each one reminds us that for all the selection of vintage-inspired clothing that a mod-ern Forever 21 has, it doesn’t come close to the character of the real deal.
Nothing says vintage like hats and those old-timey accessories we’ve all somehow forgotten about, and this store doesn’t skip on the dramatics in the headwear department.
Made exclusively of dyed feathers, beads or even mock-croc, here there are arguably hats for every occasion and probably a lot of occasions that don’t even exist anymore.
The best ones are unwearable in this age, but if the British and their fascinators have taught us anything in these Kate Middleton-worshiping days, it’s that a statement hat makes
any event a spectacular occasion.Anything But New is not limited
to only a women’s selection, however; menswear fills its own corner haber-dashery, and it is every bit as interest-ing. Some pieces are mystifying, like an all-in-one men’s undergarment that defies real description, but oth-ers are ripe for the picking.
A recent shipment of hats are a definite highlight with everything from conservative black driving caps to a show-stopping beaver fur Stetson hat. Macklemore and his “Thrift Shop” don’t have anything on this.
And, if that hat shows the store has a bit of a sense of humor, then a very heavy suit straight out of the ‘70s takes it to another level. If the suit were not a sensory overload on its own, its past owner pinned a grainy photograph of himself in the suit from back when it was brand new.
Where the men’s section really shines, however, is its smaller acces-sories. The displays of tiny tie clips and tie tacks have all the charm of a vintage period pieces but with none of the costly dry cleaning bills.
Luckily for the customer, the hus-band-and-wife owners keep the costs in mind, pricing most of their vintage clothing selection under $30 an item. And sure enough, even the most ex-travagant of pieces in the store, like a wedding gown, clock in somewhere around $120.
The stock constantly changes depending on who is selling to them, and unlike any store you might find at a mall, the inventory can shift dra-matically in the course of a few weeks, meaning every time you come in, you’ll have a very different experience.

Reformation key to growth
Task force aims to build transparencyTransparency for colleges
has become a very impor-tant thing. When scan-
dals pop up, the media obsesses over it until somebody is held responsible.
Due to these scandals, such as the sex abuse scandal at University of Pennsylvania, or in 2009 when the University of Illinois gave some prospective students special consideration for admission due to political connections, it has become even more important for colleges and universities to be as transparent as they can be to the public.
Iowa State is no exception. Recently, the university found out that some athletic staff have pushed the boundaries of permis-sible contact for athletes they are recruiting. The guidelines for per-missible contact are set up by the the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Between 2008-2011, coaches and staff called and texted prospective athletes during peri-ods when no contact was allowed.
In response to this discovery, the university conducted an investigation and reported their findings to the NCAA and issued a public statement. The University
found that 1,484 impermissible calls were made from 2008 to 2011 across 18 sports.
The Athletics Department reported that they will not say anything about this matter until the NCAA makes a decision about what they will do about it. The incident “constitute(s) a major infractions case as a whole.”
Iowa State did a great job of handling this matter with the NCAA, however, their censor-ing of the information they gave out to the public is inadequate. Hopefully, as things move forward, Iowa State will step up their game and give the public more information.
Just as this happened, the new Transparency Task Force that was created by the Board of Regents because they would like the state universities to become more trans-
parent, came into operation.They have two goals: to recom-
mend the best way to respond to public information requests and to recommend the best process for further access to public informa-tion that is of interest to Iowans.
This new task force met recently for the first time. Each public university had the oppor-tunity to present how they make information available to the public through their website and how they respond to questions from the media. The task force plans on holding a series of public forums across the state to get a response from the public on how the univer-sities can be more transparent.
Iowa State reported that during the 2012 calendar year, there were about 1,500 media contacts and around 300 news releases. They reported that Iowa State aims to be transparent while being respectful of sensitive information.
For a large institution that is funded with state money, transparency is a very important thing. That being said, we do need to remember that there is some information that is not supposed to be made public.
A few weeks ago, it was
discovered that the University of Iowa was giving out federally protected student information to the sheriff’s office to determine who can and cannot receive a permit to carry a weapon. The information includes details about a student’s academic performance and any disciplinary issues with the university.
That information cannot be used by the sheriff to determine if an individual can receive a permit. In this case, the university should keep that information to themselves.
As that case shows, it is im-portant for the public universities to closely work with the Board of Regents to know where the lines should be drawn. This is some-thing that all colleges and universi-ties will constantly be having to monitor. There is no one-time answer. Knowing which and how much information to give out can be a very hard thing to decide and must remain a priority for public institutions
In the aftermath of Veishea 2013, students traveling across Central Campus might notice the poor condition of that serene, picturesque, award-winning lawn. Unfortunately, the past several months of renovating Curtiss Hall has turned formerly — and precariously — grassy parts of the lawn around Curtiss and Ross Halls into dirt. Although there are several dam-aged spots around campus, that part in particular looks like a small-scale no-man’s-land between entrenchments at the Battle of the Somme.
The lunches on Central Campus during Veishea, like those held during Homecoming, also damaged the integ-rity of the lawn. Although the cold spell of weather that has persisted until late April has certainly not helped the grass thrive, it would be an untenable posi-tion to deny that hundreds of human feet walking over the same path day after day or standing in lines has been the main cause of stunted growth.
Mulching the most high-traffic areas and placing broad particleboard pieces on the ground for people to walk on has not helped, nor has the univer-sity’s practice of allowing motorized vehicles, such as golf carts and gators, to drive on the particularly vulnerable grass that abuts the sidewalks.
As the Veishea and Homecoming committees surely are already plan-ning next year’s events, a good thing to consider would be their environmen-tal impact on the areas immediately surrounding us all, that Iowa State takes pride in and that the Office of Admissions shows off to prospective students. Like the buildings around campus that provide places to study and socialize, Central Campus is an investment.
Unlike buildings, however, which are not made of living things, ensuring that Central Campus is a grassy, tree-accented green space is a more time-consuming proposition. Additionally, destroying the work that goes into maintaining Central Campus is a much easier task than creating it.
One possible resolution to this problem that has resulted from envi-ronmental unconsciousness could be a simple repositioning of the tents used to host the lunches.
Instead of pitching the tents on either the north or south side of the sidewalk that connects Beardshear and Curtiss Halls, the Veishea and Homecoming committees might con-sider placing the tents over the side-walks. If the tents straddled a walkway that was already paved and the tables used to serve lunch were right up to the sidewalk, some of the damage would probably be mitigated.
There might be a couple concerns with that simple solution. One could object that people needing to cross Central Campus would find their way obstructed. There are, however, several routes across Central Campus, all of which are easy to find. Additionally, there is nothing wrong with blazing one’s own trail across, taking to tread-ing on grass rather than cement.
Or, one could say, there is some uni-versity policy that governs the location of the tents or prohibits putting them over the sidewalk. If that is the case, administrators and other parties re-sponsible for making that policy should consider changing it or making exemp-tions. If Iowa State is going to continue to take pride in Central Campus, com-mon sense must rule over policy.
Hannah Dankbar is a senior in political science and Spanish from Johnston, Iowa.
“It is a legacy item for [President Barack Obama],” said David Axelrod, former top advisor to Obama, about the proposed im-migration reform bill.
“Legacy” is right. However, this bill the Gang of 8 is proposing does not put immi-grants on a smooth path to citizenship. If Congress would pass a bill with more liberal reform, there will likely be a boost in eco-nomic output and a drop in unemployment rates, but their current proposal is much too conservative. Marco Rubio, charismatic GOP leader (R-Fla.), even said, “[This bill] will make it harder, longer and more expensive for the millions of immigrants living illegally in America to achieve legal status.”
In this column I will discuss some of the things the Gang of 8 should implement into the immigration reform bill to improve the U.S. economy.
One common argument against immigra-tion reform is, “These immigrants are taking U.S. jobs!”
However, a study done by Giovanni Peri confirms a different outcome. His research revealed that long-term effects of increased immigration are positive, showing that jobs many Americans found undesirable based on their educational background were taken by low-skilled workers who had immigrated from another country. Furthermore, Peri’s study found there was an approximate in-crease of $5,100 in the United States per year in average income for his control group.
This seems to defy logic, but Peri explained, “As young immigrants with low schooling levels take manually intensive construction jobs, the construction compa-nies that employ them have opportunities to expand.
This increases the demand for construction supervisors, coordinators, designers and so on.” This expan-sion of jobs in the private sector is not exclusive to the construction industry.
Those arguing against immigration reform based on the idea that the U.S. gov-ernment should first take care of its own citizens do not have a strong argument. The numbers show not only a decrease in unemploy-ment rates but also an in-crease in average income
per worker, and job opportunities for skilled positions requiring education are in higher demand because companies are expanding and more positions are opening up.
Furthermore, keeping immigrants out of the United States is costly, taxing citizens to enforce border security.
Since 1992, the United States has increased spending on border security by in-creasing the U.S. border patrol budget by 714 percent (from $326 million to $2.7 billion).
It is ironic the U.S. government spends billions of dollars to keep immigrants out when they could actually be gaining money by allowing them to come in. This is because in the labor market, employers who hire unauthorized workers for lower wages cause others to follow suit in order to compete.
If these illegal immigrants were given cit-izenship and the full rights of workers, there would be a dramatic increase in production and economic output. As Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda put it, “Higher wages translate into more tax revenue and increased consumer purchasing power, which benefits the public treasury and the U.S. economy as a whole.”
However, there are many flaws in the Gang of 8’s proposal.
The proposal for more strict border security will not help the economy, because it does not allow for eager, hard-working im-migrants to seek a better life for their family in the United States. Thus, expanding tax revenue and consumer purchasing, which would also improve business, who is selling their products to this broad-new market.
We tend to forget immigrants are not just workers but taxpayers and consumers,too.
It is amazing how economists who re-searched how immigration reform affected the economy
in the 1980s and 1990s found that the economy improved as a result of more immi-grants, because the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 allowed for 3 million new citizens. The act also enacted stricter border control and made hiring illegal immigrants a crime.
If the Gang of 8 would enact more liberal legislation, allowing for an easier path to citizenship and open borders, the economy would most certainly improve. However, they are not making it much easier for illegal immigrants currently in the United States to become citizens and are tightening down on border security.
In conclusion, giving citizenship to cur-rent illegal immigrants and granting citizen-ship to new immigrants who pass a criminal background check, would greatly increase economic growth in the United States.
The historical evidence is there: The IRCA raised worker’s wages, increased con-sumption, created more jobs and increased tax revenue, resulting in an improved economy in many aspects.
This immigration reform bill could be what Obama needs to get the economy up and going again.

RHODES, Iowa — Although the typical Iowa weather conditions were nothing short of merciless, the ISU women’s golf team was still able to lock down a successful finish at the Big 12 Championship on Sunday.
The No. 28 Cyclones battled through wind and rain to finish in third place at the conference meet. Scores were high across the board in both the first and third rounds, but ISU coach Christie Martens said she is pleased with how her team played.
“We wanted to be in contention the last day, which we were,” Martens said. “They showed a lot of heart to-day even though conditions were re-ally tough.”
Iowa State tallied a 912, posting its highest-placing finish in a Big 12 Championship in school history.
Punpaka Phuntumabamrung, se-nior, paced the Cyclones throughout the entire meet en route to earning Big 12 All-Tournament honors for the third time in her career.
She finished the meet with 221 (77-68-76), placing her second over-all to record the highest finish of a Cyclone in school history. She has placed in the top 10 in all four of her Big 12 Championship tournaments for Iowa State.
“Big 12 is the tournament that everyone is looking for,” Phuntumabamrung said. “I’m glad that I did a pretty good job this year
since this is my last year, too.”Martens acclaimed
Phuntumabamrung’s performance, saying that her play was impressive.
“[Phuntumabamrung] is such a great pressure player, and she showed that today,” Martens said. “She feels comfortable that she can play with anyone in the country, and she is what you need as a senior leader.”
Like all scores, Phuntumabamrung’s first round was 11 strokes higher than her second and as consistent as the Thailand native is, the extremes of the weather con-ditions is adamant. She said it is im-
portant to keep mentally focused and confident when facing these threats.
“The most important thing is you just go shot by shot and really focus at all times,” Phuntumabamrung said. “You have to have a plan at all times and be focused.”
True freshman Casja Persson carded a three-round score of 226, firing a 72 in the final round of play en route to All-Tournament honors and a tie for fifth. Persson said she is very pleased with her performance.
“It’s so fun to be out here on our home course,” Persson said. “I feel like I played solid the whole weekend.”
Persson’s cumulative perfor-mance featured nine birdies and 31 pars. Persson said her confidence re-ally helped in her success.
“I think that I played solid with confidence, and you always hit bad shots. You just have to take it in a good way and keep going,” Persson said.
No. 17 Oklahoma State took home first only two strokes ahead of No. 23 Baylor. Baylor’s Lauren Taylor, the 2012 British Amateur champion, was the individual medalist with 213.
The Cyclones will be back in ac-tion at the NCAA Regional on May 9-11.

Iowa State ends up with loss, recordsAfter two close games — a 6-5 win on Friday and a 6-4 loss on Saturday — Iowa State (19-24, 4-8 Big 12) lost 15-5 against Texas Tech (29-21, 3-9) on Sunday.With the loss coming after four pitching changes and two five-run innings, ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler was not pleased with her team’s performance.“We’ve got to throw strikes; we can’t walk people like that,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “Once we actually do throw strikes, we have to make the play behind them. I mean that is just ridiculous.”After four innings of struggling offensively as well, Erica Miller helped her team score three runs in the fifth to keep the Cyclones in the game momen-tarily. With her 45th RBI of the season, Miller set a new ISU record.“It’s really nice, but it’s a team record,” Miller said. “It helps me a lot when people get on base, and all I have to do it hit a single to get them in. I just try to put the ball in play as much as I can no matter what the situation is.”Another record set on Sunday was the team’s steals re-cord with 71 in one season. Freshman Brittany Gomez stole two bases on Sunday to seal the record for the team.“It’s not just me. It’s everybody in general that has that many steals,” Gomez said. “It just hap-pened to be me who was the one who broke it.”Although the records — individu-al and team — were broken, the coaches and the players could not ignore the feeling of the loss after the game was over.“If we play like we played today, then we’re not going to win a lot of games,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “We’ve been playing well at home, and we have a great crowd, and [the way we played Sunday was] embarrassing. We can do a lot better.”

On an intense last day of spring practice for ISU coach Paul Rhoads, his arguably deepest position on the team was one he was most pleased with: the running backs.
Redshirt sophomore DeVondrick Nealy grabbed Rhoads’ attention in Saturday’s spring game be-cause of his 142 yards and two touchdowns with his longest run coming on a 20-yard scamper.
“DeVondrick Nealy [is] certainly running like we thought he was capable of and going into his third sea-son,” Rhoads said. “[It is] very encouraging to see.”
Even though Nealy was pleased with his perfor-mance, he said he needs to start trusting in his offensive linemen more than he has.
With Iowa State’s imple-mentation of the pistol of-fense into its playbook, trust-ing the linemen may be more important this season than it
was before.“It’s still a lot of things
that I need to get better on, running my track and trust-ing my offensive linemen [that they’re] going to get the job done and just doing the things I need to do to be a better runner,” Nealy said. “Actually, it’s just me just trusting, trusting, trusting, trusting and that will make it much better.”
While Nealy gained the most yards of any running back on Saturday, he was not the only one who stood out. The ISU backfield will also be returning redshirt seniors James White and Jeff Woody, redshirt sophomore Rob Standard and junior college transfer Aaron Wimberly.
Senior Shontrelle Johnson will also join the position group when he is re-habilitated from an ACL tear that he suffered near the end of last season.
“James White is James White — runs hard, smart, knows everything about the offense and certainly is tough,” Rhoads said. “Aaron Wimberly, I think you saw enough of him to understand our excitement and certainly why we recruited him. Rob
Standard is not the athlete that the other group is, but he’s productive every time we play.”
Now that he has com-pleted his first spring with the Cyclones, Wimberly said he has been able to adapt well to the pistol offense and rec-ognizes how useful it will be with the number and talent level of running backs on the ISU sideline.
Wimberly finished with
87 yards on the ground with his longest run on the day be-ing a 13-yard burst.
“We’ve got a whole bunch of playmakers,” Wimberly said. “We could spread the field out with just running backs; we’ve got a lot of tal-ented running backs in the group. So, coach tries to use it as much as he can.”
Redshirt sophomore quarterback Sam Richardson also took notice to the level
of play of the running back position.
“It’s a huge part of our of-fense, and it’s only going to make our job easier as a quar-terback. So, it’s being able to balance and run past or even maybe a little bit more around than past,” Richardson said. “But obviously, the play-ac-tion off of that is looking to be a huge part of our offense. So, it’s nice having those guys back there.”
