The UI saw 10 cases of forcible sex offenses on campus in 2011, accord-ing the Clery Report released by UI police. By Lauren [email protected]

As a large group of men walk down the street with red high heels, pedestri-ans will stare.

But perhaps more important than the red high heels are the signs the men are holding. With such statistics as “1 in 5 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetime” and “85 percent of all sexual assaults happen by someone you know,” the signs are what make people turn their heads.

“The purpose of this event is to raise awareness in a unique, creative way,” said Reid Senesac, co-director of the event. “We want to bring up this issue and if we all come together as a com-munity we can tackle these issues a lot quicker and more efficiently.”

Phi Delta Theta and Pi Beta Phi host-ed the second Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event; the men who participated wore high heels to show their support to end sexual assault.

“I actually helped start the event last year,” Phi Delta Theta member Patrick Grimm said. “I was president [of the fra-ternity]; we thought it was an important problem in the community. Obviously,

there’s sort of a pervasive stereotype about the males in the greek communi-ty, and we thought we’d crash that ste-reotype and also raise awareness about a good cause.”

The UI saw 10 cases of forcible sex of-fenses on campus in 2011, an increase from six in 2010 and nine in 2009, ac-cording to the Clery Report issued by UI police last week.

Phi Delta Theta and Pi Beta Phi

wanted to break down the stereotypes associated with greek life dealing with possibilities of sexual assault, especially following a recent report of an alleged sexual-assault.

Iowa City police officials received a report on Sept. 11 of a sexual assault at 302 Ridgeland Ave., the address of the now-suspended fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The report is still under inves-tigation.

While the University of Iowa boasts an impressive pharmacy program, it can’t brag about its facility.

“We’re No. 1 in energy consumption,” said Don Letendre, the dean of the UI Col-lege of Pharmacy. “And that’s not an envi-able place to be.”

Per square foot, the Pharmacy Building consumes more energy than any building on campus. And this is one reason phar-macy-school officials want to see a replace-ment facility in the coming years.

“We have a top-10 worldwide pharmacy program and a bottom-10 facility,” Leten-dre said.

The University of Iowa Counseling Ser-vice saw a 4 percent increase in the number of student visits in the 2011-12 academic year, and officials say numerous factors may have led to the increased intake.

Sam Cochran, the director of the ser-vice, said the increase could be attributed to more students on campus, more knowl-edge of the resources available, and men-tal-health issues facing students.

“Most students and parents are more knowledgeable about mental-health con-ditions and the kinds of treatments and services available on campus and who are willing to advocate and take advantage of them,” he said.

Those with a mental-health condition could benefit from treatment but some do not seek help, and Cochran notes this has been a prevalent issue.

“The more people coming in, the better everyone’s going to be,” he said.

Officials at the University of North-ern Iowa also saw a 3 percent rise in the number of students they treated during the 2011-12 academic year. “It [has] been increasing every year for the last several years,” said David Towle, the director at the UNI counseling center. “In general, there are more students coming to cam-pus with some serious needs.

Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, has served nearly six years in Congress, and he is now facing off against Republican candidate John Archer on several key issues, including un-employment — which stands at approximately 90,000 peo-ple in Iowa — and job creation.

Loebsack believes one of the main obstacles to job creation is economic uncertainty, which is due to a variety of factors, including the expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, saying it “creates a drag on the economy.”

“Everybody is talking about uncertainty,” he said. “Of course, companies want certainty, of course investors want certainty. People who have jobs at a convenience store next year want to know what their income-tax rate will be next year."

John Archer, the Republican candidate for Iowa’s 2nd Con-gressional District, believes his business experience and pol-icies could help unemployed Iowans get back on track, as job creation is one of the key issues in his race against Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa.

“We need to make sure America and the world understands that Iowa is not a flyover community or state,” Archer told The Daily Iowan during an exclusive interview Sept. 27. “We have the ability here in Iowa through our small businesses and farmers to feed, fuel, and clothe the world.”

Archer, who has spent the last 11 years at John Deere as chief legal counsel, said one of the main policies for job cre-ation is repatriation. Archer said companies are stifling job

Students at the Univer-sity of Iowa have an oppor-tunity to head to Las Vegas next semester for spring break, but they won’t spend their time gambling.

Reimagining Downtown, a new class taught by Dave Gould, an associate direc-tor for student professional development for the Col-lege of Liberal Arts and Sciences, will begin in the spring of 2013.

It will meet twice a week during the semester, as do many classes at the univer-sity. However, in this class students will travel to Las Vegas, once during spring break and for a longer peri-od of time over the summer, to create a proposal for the downtown Vegas area.

“This is an opportunity for 20-somethings to build something valuable to a community,” Gould said. “The ideas you have, they won’t fade or go away. With this class you’re leaving something behind.”

Gould partnered with Zappos Chief Executive Officer Tony Hsieh to help fund the class, as part of Hsieh’s initiative, Down-town Project — a program to reinvigorate downtown Las Vegas. Hsieh will pro-

vide room and board for the students in Las Vegas, as well as a $50,000 grant to the final proposal the class comes up with. Gould says the only part of the project that still needs to be covered are the tickets to Nevada.

“The plan is to give stu-dents scholarships to cover [airfare],” he said. “But we can’t guarantee that yet. Students may be responsi-ble for airfare and inciden-tal costs in Vegas.”

Garry Kline, the assis-tant director of academic programs and assessments at the Pomerantz Career Center, said the class is unique at the UI.

“[Reimagining Down-town] is a great opportuni-ty for a group of people to see a proposal happen,” he said. “I see it as Extreme City Makeover.”

Reimagining Downtown will require applications for the course and will only enroll 10 to 20 students. However, Gould hopes to have a wide variety of ma-jors represented.

“The goal is to cre-ate an interdisciplinary group that can all take its strengths and work togeth-er in a workshop environ-ment,” he said.

While the students will work together throughout

the process to create the final proposal, there is a competitive aspect: only one idea will be selected. However, Gould said the class isn’t focused on that approach.

“It’s about doing social good with entrepreneur-ship skills,” he said. “It’s not a competition; every-one plays a role in making the idea.”

Kline said the selection process is good for students.

“We think often students don’t get a chance to fully develop and defend their ideas and have to create implementations for them and be held accountable,” he said. “From a career preparation standpoint, that’s very valuable.”

Reimagining Downtown opens for student applica-tions today, and the dead-line is Oct. 26. The course is only open to juniors and seniors at the university, and Gould will make the final application decisions.

UI senior Andrew O’Ble-ness said he plans on ap-plying for the class and has met with Gould to brain-storm ideas for it.

“We’ve got this oppor-tunity to do something special and really make a difference,” he said. “It’s about so much more than building a résumé; you

have to be responsible and committed to a project. By the end, we’ll really have our fingerprint on it.”

O’Bleness said he hadn’t heard of any other students that plan to sign up for the course yet and thinks the time commitment could be an issue for some.

“For seniors, it’s tough to make commitments with graduate school looming,” he said.

Gould hopes to continue Reimagining Downtown beyond the first course in spring. However, Kline said, he wants to see how the semester will play out.

“We see it as a pilot,” he said. “We’ll learn a lot, regardless of what hap-pens, and we’ll find out if a course like this is possible in the future.”

Man faces theft, forgery charges

A local man faces numerous charges after he allegedly forged 14 checks between May and Au-gust of 2012.

According to a series of Iowa City police complaints, Samuel Rainey, 1100 Arthur St. Apt. N4, was charged after the victim dis-covered 14 unauthorized checks written on his account. The com-plaints said all 14 checks had forged signatures, and 13 were made payable to Rainey.

According to the complaints, the checks were written from four different checkbooks, and the numbers on the checks indi-cated they were pulled from the middle of each book. The com-plaint said the victim was a cur-rent resident of Windmill Manor nursing home in Coralville and only kept only one checkbook with him at the home. The rest

of the checkbooks, according to the complaint, were kept at the victim’s apartment, which Rain-ey allegedly had access to. The complaint said Rainey admitted to forging the checks and cashing them, as well as having access to the victim’s apartment.

The complaint said the total amount of the theft was $4,285.

Rainey is charged with sec-ond-degree theft and forgery, both Class-D felonies.

DM man faces numerous charges

A Des Moines man was charged Sept. 29 after he allegedly tried to take a police officer’s firearm out of its holster.

According to a series of Iowa City police complaints, Erik Span-grud, 21, was charged after offi-cers were dispatched to 500 S. Riverside Drive after receiving a

report of an upset subject threat-ening self-harm. The complaints said Spangrud was located under a parked vehicle. He allegedly re-fused to come out from under the vehicle and had to be pulled out by officers. Spangrud became in-creasingly violent and refused to put his hands behind his back to be handcuffed, according to the report. An officer sustained a lac-eration on his knuckle and pinky finger during the struggle.

Spangrud allegedly grabbed the grip of an officer’s handgun and violently twisted it, partially releasing the gun. The complaints said officers used a Taser to gain compliance from Spangrud.

Spangrud is charged with dis-arming a police officer, a Class-D felony, and interference with offi-cial acts causing bodily injury, an aggravated misdemeanor.

Archer: What we have to do is create the environment for private

businesses to go out and invest and create

desperately needed jobs here in southeast Iowa

and across America.

Loebsack: We’ve got to build things in America again, and rebuild our manufacturing base in America again.

ONTHEISSUESJobCreation

TradeagreementsArcher: These three

trade agreements were a good thing. We compete

globally, and for Con-gressman Loebsack to

not understand that is a crying shame.

Loebsack: I’ve heard from a lot of people who would be hurt by this. There are ways to deal with trade issues in more productive ways that don’t hurt workers in Iowa and America.

RepatriationArcher: Right now, we

have companies that have trillions of dollars

overseas. Now, wouldn’t it be nice to let those companies bring the

dollars back home [and] invest in America, south-

east Iowa.

Loebsack:[I’m] not sure it will do all that much good. I want to be a little careful about that money deprived of the treasury — we’re talking money that would be added to the deficit to do some-thing like that.

DefensecutsArcher: We have to look

at it holistically; if we have to eliminate forward

bases around the world, eliminating [the bases]

without jeopardizing men and women in the

theater. We need to scale back former bases to

save tax payers dollars.

Loebsack: I’ve already voted for number of cuts already. We’re already cutting the Pentagon, and we can make further cuts on defense side.

ChinaArcher: [There are]

rules out there — and in-dividuals have to play by

those rules. We need to be firm, aggressive, but I don’t believe there will be trade war with China

anytime soon.

Loebsack: We have to get tougher with China when it comes to its currency manipulation. We’ve got to go much further to push China to do the right thing.

economic uncertainty but mentioned it could affect long-term business plans, instead stating a lack of demand is one of the main factors of long-term unem-ployment.

“Firms that have de-mand for product should be inclined to hire work-ers right now,” said John Solow, a University of Iowa associate professor of eco-nomics. “It’s hard to under-stand why worrying what next year’s tax rate or reg-ulatory environment does; if its conditions change, companies can just cut back or lay off workers as they have done in the past.”

The growing federal deficit remains another major issue, and Loebsa-ck said a balanced-budget amendment is where de-bate should start, in addi-tion to further cuts to pro-grams, specifically noting cuts to the Department of Defense.

“We have to start out with a balanced-budget amendment,” he said. “But it starts serious enough conversation about the budget and debt, and no one has been serious when it comes to budget cutting.”

UI political-science Pro-fessor John Conybeare agreed with Loebsack’s po-sition on defense cuts.

“I doubt whether [cuts to U.S. bases] would affect U.S. stature worldwide,” Conybeare said. “The U.S. can move soldiers quickly enough now, so I don’t re-ally see those bases as nec-essary.”

Loebsack voted against free-trade agreements, including those signed by President Obama, as a possible source of job creation — a contrast be-tween his and Archer’s belief that NAFTA-style trade agreements “bleed

jobs from Iowa and the United States.”

“We’ve got to build things in America again and rebuild our manufac-turing base,” he said. "I’ve heard from a lot of people who would be hurt by this.”

Archer characterized Loebsack’s position on the agreements as out-of-touch, and he believes the agreements, specifically those with Colombia, Pan-ama, and South Korea, are a source for new markets for Iowa.

“For our congressman to vote against these trade agreements was a thumb in every Iowan’s eye, in my opinion,” Archer said when asked about Loeb-sack’s vote. “We compete globally, and for Congress-man Loebsack to not un-derstand that is a crying shame.”

Loebsack further pushed for a tougher stance on China, something he feels he has pushed Obama’s administration on, stating U.S. manufacturers don’t always compete on a level playing field.

“We have to get tougher with China when it comes to its currency manipu-lation,” he said. “We’ve got to go much further to push China to do the right thing.”

Conybeare disagreed with Loebsack’s stance.

“There’s not a lot of ev-idence that China’s cur-rency is overvalued, and long-term, the stance would ‘hurt job opportunities,’ ” he said.

UI Associate Professor of political science Tim Hagle stated that while redistricting doesn’t give Loebsack the “usual in-cumbent advantage,” the 2nd Congressional Dis-trict has the biggest voter registration advantage for Democrats, an advantage he feels Obama could help with given his campaign’s early voting efforts.

creation by “parking their dollars overseas.” His push for repatriation — or allow-ing foreign corporations to take money made overseas and bring it to the United States at a lower tax rate — is something he is con-vinced will help create jobs.

But one University of Iowa economist disputed the impact of this policy.

“Repatriation is one off-thing that could be helpful, but I’m not sure if it’s quan-titatively large enough,” said Nicolas Ziebarth, a University of Iowa assis-tant professor of economics.

Repatriation was also previously tried during former President George W. Bush’s administration.

According to a 2009 Congressional Research Service report about the results of the Bush policy, this action resulted in “sig-nificant increase in repa-triated earnings,” but “em-pirical evidence is unable to show a corresponding increase in domestic in-vestment or employment.”

The expiration of the wind-energy tax cred-it is another major issue surrounding job creation in Iowa. Archer believes “we can’t pull the rug out from those industries right now.” But Archer’s belief draws a contrast between himself and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who has said he will not renew the credit.

“I don’t necessarily know if [Romney] truly understands the econom-ic impact of wind energy to Iowa,” he said, pointing out that Fort Madison re-cently just lost more than 400 jobs in a Siemens wind-turbine plant be-cause of the uncertainty over the tax credit.

Archer also spoke about the role of government, say-ing he believes it should pro-vide better infrastructure for Iowans and characterized the current state for farmers

as “decaying.” He also stat-ed he “didn’t know if it was worth it” to go into further debt to invest in fixing the infrastructure. Instead he felt cuts to government pro-grams could occur — nam-ing some in the Department of Defense, including the elimination of a proposed amphibious assault vehicle for the Marine Corps.

“We have to look at it holistically, if we have to eliminate forward bases around the world, elimi-nating [the bases] with-out jeopardizing men and women in the theater,” he said. “We need to scale back former bases to save tax payers’ dollars.”

Archer was adamant in his belief that a “role of un-certainty” affects unemploy-ment, which he felt should have been better addressed by the current Congress.

“There is just so much uncertainty right now with the tax rates with the potential ‘taxmaggedon’ coming up at the end of this year,” he said. “Rules are changing so rapidly, we just need to provide certainty and stability to everybody.”

Archer said one of the “stark-contrasts” between him and Loebsack is Ar-cher’s support of free-trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea.

“We’ve got to build things in America again, and rebuild our manu-facturing base,” Loebsack told the DI Sept. 28 when asked about voting against the trade agreements. “I've heard from a lot of people who would be hurt by this.”

Ultimately, though, the responsibility for job cre-ation lies with the market, Archer said.

“The government does not create jobs, I as an elected official would not necessarily create jobs,” he said. “What we have to do is create the environment for private businesses to go out, and invest and create desperately need-ed jobs here in southeast Iowa and across America.”

Congressman Dave Lobesack (D)

Rep. Dave Lobesack, D-Iowa, said on Sept. 28 that he is confident in his campaign and looks for-ward to the opportunity to continue serving Iowans on a national level in an interview with The Daily Iowan.

Job CreationLobesack said he is fo-

cused on promoting job growth and thinks that said that education a criti-cal component.

“And I’m not just saying that to a group of college students,” he said. “This is absolutely critical moving forward.”

Lobesack said any plan that cuts funding to edu-cation, in his opinion, will only lead to more problems in the long run.

The congressman is cor-rect. The American educa-tion system needs support, not cuts. A better-educated population will make for a more productive work-force.

Lobesack further sug-gested that it is essential to close tax loopholes that provide incentives for businesses to move over-seas. He also voted against the Free Trade Agreement.

“We have to rebuild manufacturing capabil-ities in America — and get tougher with China,” Lobesack said.

For Iowa specifically, Lobesack fully supports wind-energy tax credits saying that the credits only allow for a level play-ing field and that they are a “no-brainer.”

Federal DeficitLobesack expressed his

concerned with the feder-al budget and said that he thinks the United States must pass a Balanced Budget Amendment,

which he voted for in No-vember 2011.

The Balanced Budget Amendment would have required the federal gov-ernment to only spend as much as it receives through revenue, except during war or in the event that specific spending is allowed and passed by a Congressional majority.

However, passing an amendment is a long-term solution. In the short-term, Lobesack suggested correcting government in-efficiencies.

Specifically, Lobesack said, the Defense Depart-ment needs budget cuts, and he noted that such programs as Medicare can become more efficient and less costly.

Health CareLobesack fully sup-

ports the Affordable Care Act and has voted twice against repealing the act. He also said that he thinks it’s important to continue seeing reform in health care so that states such as Iowa are rewarded for ex-cellence.

OverallIn order for Lobesack

to remain an Iowa rep-resentative, Iowans need to demand that he works harder to force Congress to complete its tasks be-fore taking recesses.

As for now, Iowans are waiting for decisions that may extend the Bush era tax credits and the wind-energy tax credits, and are instead being bombarded by campaigns.

Lobesack’s views on the issues reflect the most appropriate ways of han-dling the current economic crisis, but his views and votes are worth little if he does not prominently make Iowa voices heard by ensuring that legislation gets passed.

John Archer (R)Republican Congressio-

nal challenger John Archer sat down with The Daily Iowan on Sept. 27 to offer his economic vision for the state of Iowa and the coun-try as a whole, emphasiz-ing the role of bipartisan-ship in effective legislating. Archer blamed both par-ties in Congress for their failure to adequately ad-dress the major problems of the day.

Job CreationArcher’s broad eco-

nomic plan centers on the creation of a friendli-er environment in which private business, and the American economy by ex-tension, can grow. Archer cites uncertainty caused by federal regulation and an oversized tax burden as the primary obstacles to growth, obstacles he would eliminate by streamlining and eliminating some ex-isting laws, including the Affordable Care Act, and lowering the corporate tax rate.

While it is true that streamlining and solidify-ing government regulation would allow businesses to operate with a clear-er view of the future, it is unclear that Archer’s plan to lower the corporate tax rate would have any effect at all on economic perfor-mance. In 2001, the total corporate tax rate, includ-ing federal and sub-feder-al taxes, was 39.3 percent in the United States and 40.5 percent in Canada. The corresponding 2012 rates are 39.1 percent in the United States and 26.1 in Canada. While Cana-da’s corporate tax rate fell every single year between 2001 and 2012, their GDP growth was virtually in-distinguishable from that of the United States over the same period.

Federal Deficit As a solution to the twin

crises of the national debt and deficit, Archer argues that the solution to the

problem is to cut spending by reforming Social Se-curity and Medicare and eliminating government fraud and waste.

Archer does not believe that tax revenue should be increased as part of a deficit-reduction package, arguing that higher taxes would have a net negative economic impact.

Wind EnergyOn the subject of the

continuation of federal tax subsidies for wind energy, a major source of pow-er in Iowa, Archer broke from the national con-servative orthodoxy and aligned himself with his fellow Iowa Republicans and Democrats in support of the subsidy. Many Iowa Republicans, including Gov. Terry Branstad and Sen. Chuck Grassley, have come out in favor of the wind-energy subsidy, de-spite opposition from Mitt Romney at the top of this year’s GOP ticket.

An extension of the wind-energy tax cuts would help the industry remain competitive in the markets and provide job security for more than 3,000 Iowa workers em-ployed by the wind sector.

OverallArcher’s economic mes-

sage dovetails nicely with the “government-as-busi-ness” narrative being writ-ten across the country by the GOP, but over the next few weeks he will have to prove that his commitment to effective legislation and solving problems trumps the pure partisanship that has rendered Congress in-effective and unpopular.

Archer has shown prom-ise by bucking the na-tional party line in favor of joining the “Iowa Con-sensus” on wind energy, but it remains to be seen whether Archer’s biparti-san message is just an ap-pealing rhetorical flourish or a sign of a legislative pragmatism capable of withstanding the partisan pressures of the House.

As polls show President Obama widening his lead over Mitt Romney in ad-vance of the first debate, scheduled for Wednesday, the stakes for both Obama and Romney are excep-tionally high. Acknowl-edging the scrutiny the candidates will face in the debates, both campaigns are attempting to lower expectations leading into these final public appear-ances with election-shift-ing potential.

Senior Obama strategist David Axelrod released a memo this past week, ex-plicitly identifying Rom-ney’s advantages before the first debate.

“First, just as he was in the primaries, we ex-pect Mitt Romney to be a prepared, disciplined, and aggressive debater. Sec-ond, debates — and par-ticularly the first debate — generally favor chal-lengers. Five out of the last six challengers were perceived to win the first debate against an incum-bent president.”

While a challenger may have an advantage, Rom-ney also faces the disad-vantage of debating one-on-one for the first time in the presidential campaign

against a seasoned and highly skilled debater.

Similarly, senior Rom-ney adviser Beth Myers has attempted to hedge expectations for the first debate, noting that “Pres-ident Obama is a unique-ly gifted speaker and is widely regarded as one of the most talented political communicators in modern history.”

She further insists that Obama has an edge over Romney because “voters already believe — by a 25-point margin — that President Obama is likely to do a better job in these debates.”

It is unclear that the expectation of a decisive Obama victory in the de-bates is an asset, rather than political liability: Obama will need to per-form exceedingly well to win the debates, where Romney must surpass comparatively lower ex-pectations.

While the Obama and Romney campaigns dis-agree on which candidate has a preliminary advan-tage, both campaigns as-sert that they have an ad-vantage when it comes to truth and fact.

Albeit paradoxical, in a

world of ideologically seg-regated media, it is entire-ly possible for two distinct understandings of “fact” to exist simultaneously: The increasingly isolated, in-sular, and ideological me-dia environment affords modern presidential cam-paigns unprecedented lat-itude in conflating opinion with fact.

A Gallup Poll measuring public confidence in main-stream media has shown that trust in “newspapers, television, and radio to re-port the news accurately and fairly” has decreased dramatically from 72 per-cent in 1976 to 43 percent in 2010. This data suggest that there remain no neu-tral arbiters of fact in the public sphere, enabling widely variant interpre-tations of the same news stories.

Because there are so many media outlets with distinct political biases, people can select news sources that validate their beliefs by contorting facts to accommodate a given political viewpoint, rather than superseding ideology with objective portrayals of fact. With such explic-itly partisan media, it is likely that different news

outlets will call the same debate for different can-didates; it is not unthink-able that Fox News would name Romney the winner of a debate that MSNBC calls for Obama.

Although an increas-ingly partisan media are problematic for a number of reasons, I am skeptical that this issue will decide the 2012 election: First, the election will not be de-cided by the extreme ideo-logues most likely to watch debate analysis by hy-per-partisan news sources. Second, several studies have demonstrated that presidential debates rare-ly influence actual voting behavior: A 2008 study by Gallup found that between 1960 and 2004, debates only affected election out-comes in two presidential contests.

Thus, while the presi-dential debates may ul-timately prove inconse-quential, they are the final public appearances with the potential to reverse the trends reflected in vir-tually all recent polling, which project a landslide victory for Obama in No-vember.

Debates and post-truth politics

Writing in candidate

With all this hoopla about early voting, I have received my absentee ballot and am excited to cast my first vote in a gener-al election. When I received my ballot yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice that there was only one option for Iowa House.

This isn’t a big deal; it happens all the time, and because it is a local House race in a presidential election, it’s marked less newsworthy. This year, I will write myself in despite the fact that it violates Article III, Section 4, of the Iowa Constitution, because I am underage to be a legislator.

I know my one vote will not change the outcome of the election, and my small little protest will make little difference in the state of Iowa’s political environment, but I did want to share why I am not voting for the incumbent and instead writing myself in.

The biggest reason I won’t support Rep. Vicki Lensing is that I believe that the state of Iowa should not spend more money than we take in. My mindset has always been: Less spending means less govern-ment interfering in my life. The last two years, Lensing supported many amendments that would have raised our state budget and inflated government.

I just wanted to remind all voters on campus that if you don’t see a name on the ballot that you don’t necessarily support, you don’t have to vote for them just because they are on the ballot; you may write in a person you think would do a fantastic job and represent your values better than anyone else. I would encourage you to truly look at the candidates and don’t just vote for someone because her or she is your only choice. But, most important, get out and vote this fall.

Big exam: VoteReminder to college voters:

you have a major exam coming up on Nov. 6. You can ace this exam, using the knowledge resources and diverse thought that are a part of your univer-sity experience. And, after all, you have much at stake in this election.

The process of determin-ing votes should reflect the complex roles of our elected leaders, who must balance the needs of many constituents, consider the long-term effect and fairness of decisions, and have a broad vision about how limited resources can best be used. Your vote should be a judgment of which policies, which contrasting proposals, and ultimately which candi-dates best further these broad governing principles.

But there’s a lot of campaign money being spent to ensure that campaigns will be won by isolating narrow voting blocs and pandering to their self-in-terests. This is about “divide and conquer.” Don’t fall for it — governing is about uniting! Instead, help tip the balance toward the thoughtful voting our democracy needs.

You have unequaled access to the information needed to objectively evaluate voting options. Beyond libraries and classrooms, you engage with faculty and students with di-verse personal experience and academic and career interests — a microcosm of our nation. Foreign students help you to understand America’s role abroad. All these resources and engagements have prepared you to make sound voting decisions.

So think through your

positions on the issues and candidates, be properly and accurately registered to vote by Oct. 9, and vote without fail on Nov. 6.

Bond referendumAn important bond referen-

dum in Johnson County for a Justice Center is on the ballot this November.

I was initially skeptical about building a Justice Center. We have had several examples of questionable public spending here in recent years. I was inclined to vote no, simply as a protest.

But I got to thinking about our government’s most import-ant needs. I believe providing a system of justice and adequate-ly funding law enforcement is of fundamental importance. Why not judge a bond referen-dum on its merits?

After talking with people close to the situation at the Courthouse and Jail, and having reviewed inadequacies of our current facilities, I’m convinced that now is the time to make improvements.

I understand commercial property taxes in Iowa hinder economic development. Our Legislature continues to work on an acceptable solution. In the meantime, we need to address the urgent space, se-curity, and accessibility issues of the existing Courthouse and Jail.

I understand that economic recovery is painstakingly slow. But consider all the public buildings and public works projects completed across the nation during the Great Depression of the 1930s, many of which are still in use today. To be paralyzed by fear won’t improve the economy.

A Justice Center is a real need. Not just a want. The decision is yours. I hope you will join me in voting yes on the bond referendum.

Mike StrebIowa City resident

Choose carefullyWith the November elections

fast approaching, it’s time to ask which party do we truly want overseeing things.

Do we want people in charge who will do things such as …

• Use taxpayer moneys to “save” American jobs?

• Cater to the slackers by taking more from the produc-ers/achievers in the name of “the common good?”

• Ally with those who would deny us the right to self-defense and appease the “one-world-government” crowd?

• Ally with entities such as unions, trial lawyers, and lobbyists; nevermind what such alliances mean to your rights or to your family’s well being?

• Ally with those who hate America, the West, and Israel?

• Cater to the lowest parts of the human character?

Or, do we want dependable statesmen who will use their positions to …

• Create an environment where businesses can take risks?

• Encourage more Americans to contribute to the betterment of the greater whole?

• Ensure that all our Consti-tutional rights (including the Second Amendment) remain whole and uncompromised?

• Ensure that individuals, businesses, and households can take care of their own affairs according to the dictates of their own consciences?

• Ensure that America’s interests, and our alliance with Israel, remain whole and uncompromised?

• Challenge Americans to aspire to a higher standard?

Letters to the Editor

“With the coverage of SAE, many fraternities are targets of improper be-havior and occasional per-petrators,” said Jacob Op-penheimer, the graduate coordinator of the Men’s Antiviolence Council and keynote speaker for the in-formational portion of the walk. “We have an incred-ible position to make huge changes on campus. We tend to get pigeonholed and isolated [with stereo-types against fraternities]

but we can say gender vio-lence is not acceptable.”

Some members of the fraternity and sorority had personal connections to the cause.

“Personally, I’ve had issues with sexual vio-lence and dating violence,” event co-director Julie Schumann said. “I think it’s a really good thing [to raise awareness about sex-ual assault] because like, I didn’t know when I was in an abusive relationship. It’s really important for people to know how to get out of [an abusive rela-tionship], who to talk to, where to go to. I think it’s

important for men to real-ize maybe if they’re acci-dently doing it or if their friends are.”

Frank Baird, founder of Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, created the organization in 2001.

The organization now has an average of 300 walks a year.

“I was working at a cri-sis center, and at the time, rape was a women’s issue, all the work [to end sexu-al assault] was being done by women,” Baird said. “I thought this could be an outreach to men. It’s not the typical macho thing to do, and it helps men ap-

preciate the value of the role they play in ending sexual assault.”

to seeking counseling are being reduced, somewhat.”

Students with men-tal-health conditions are not the only students seek-ing help at the counseling services. The UI Counsel-ing Service helps with con-cerns ranging from college

transition to relationship difficulties.

“We really work with a large number of concerns,” Cochran said.

Kathleen Staley, the assistant director for the UI’s outreach program, said students often learn that counseling services are helpful despite initial apprehension.

“I think as people learn more about what counsel-ing therapy is all about they get more comfortable,

they learn it’s a very help-ful process,” she said.

Officials predict num-bers will continue to climb at the service. They are trying to get the word out about their service through a website, a Twit-ter and Facebook account, and other outlets.

“We are trying different ways to penetrate the in-formation out to the stu-dent body as best we can,” Cochran said.

The outreach program

also spreads the word about the help available.

“We are out and about on campus; we give a lot of talks on campus,” Sta-ley said. “I think the more we’re out on campus, the more students learn about our service.”

These counseling ser-vices can help students later on in life, Towle said.

“In some cases people are seriously depressed and effective treatment is essential to save their

lives, to prevent them from becoming suicidal,” Towle said. “I think it’s im-portant because students need to be able to be able to overcome problems like

depression, anxiety, stress, and significant life prob-lem in order to be success-ful in school and ultimate-ly later in life.”

hours of electrical ener-gy in fiscal 2009, 300,000 more kilowatt hours than all of the buildings on the Pentacrest combined.

In 2008, the Pharma-cy Building accounted for 11,905 metric tons of car-bon dioxide, while the Pap-pajohn Business Building accounted 3,900 metrics tons of carbon dioxide; it is 47,000 square feet larger than the Pharmacy Build-ing.

While the building lacks energy efficiency, UI phar-macy Professor Bernard

Sorofman said the facil-ity doesn’t work because of the era in which it was built.

“It’s pretty obvious that it was designed differently than the way buildings are designed today,” Sorofman said.

The university con-structed the facility in the early 1960s and added a wing roughly 20 years ago, but this addition did little to help the program.

“That was a Band-Aid,” Letendre said. “It was intended for economic de-velopment but provided no relief — it provided office space.”

In addition to the flood-recovery projects, the UI would undertake build-

ing a new, efficient phar-macy building following the completion of the new residence hall.

Following that, a por-tion of Quadrangle would be expendable, allowing the UI to tear it down and build the new pharmacy facility across from the current building.

With the UI planning to finish the new resi-dence hall in 2015, the construction would take approximately two to two-and-a-half years to finish because of the complexity of the building.

“Our research base is grossly inadequate,” Le-tendre said.

The current building has two classrooms for all

students. The building had one classroom, but it was split in two.

Because of the struc-ture, the classrooms differ greatly in temperature, with one only having ac-cess to air conditioning and the other solely to heat — another energy ob-stacle.

But the Pharmacy Building faces obstacles other than its energy use.

While the practice lab is the nicest portion of the building, it is only one-third the size it needs to be.

Despite the relatively new practice lab, Leten-dre’s colleague agrees with the need for a new facility.

“To stay cutting-edge,

we need to have facilities to perform at cutting-edge levels,” Sorofman said.

The Pharmacy Building is the educational home to 432 professional-degree students with an addition-al 96 Ph.D. students but isn’t fit to accommodate that number, Letendre said.

Originally, the UI built the building to educate a class size much smaller, but because of the demand for the program, the pro-gram expanded beyond its capacity, he said.

While no official plans have been set for the new building, Letendre hopes for legislative support along with support from the UI.

“This is the first step of an evolution to construct a new College of Pharmacy,” he said.

MINNESOTA 13

KEY PLAYS• After a first quarter in which Mark Weisman gashed the Gopher defense for more than 100 yards, the Hawkeyes capitalized by running a flea-flicker early in the second.

Weisman flipped the ball back to Vandenberg, who threw it to wide-open Jordan Cotton for a 47-yard touchdown.

• Christian Kirksey put an exclamation point on the win for Iowa when he grabbed a slant pass out of the air and took it

68 yards for a touchdown with just over five minutes left in the game.

GAME BALLSIOWA

Offensive lineMark Weisman is an impressive

runner, but it’s time to recognize how much room he is being given

to run. The Hawkeye blockers, particularly the left side of the

line, have improved significantly. They are blasting holes open for

Weisman on every drive.

MINNESOTAA.J. Barker

Not many Gopher players had impressive games. But wide

receiver A.J. Barker played capably, catching 5 passes for 74 yards. He

was Minnesota’s only real offensive threat all game.

THUMBS UP

THUMBS DOWN

Forcing turnovers. Greg Castillo, Tanner Miller, and Christian Kirksey all made Gopher quarter-back Max Shortell pay for mistakes with inter-ceptions. Miller’s was an impressive catch along the sidelines, and Kirksey ran his back for a touchdown. The junior linebacker also recovered a fumble in the game.

Second-half offense. Iowa got away from its Weisman-centered attack in the second half, and the chemistry between Vandenberg and his receivers has not improved much. The senior quarterback threw the ball at nobody numerous times. Keenan Davis and Kevonte Martin-Manley appeared to run the wrong route a time or two.

FLOYD TROTS BACK HOME‘I just kind of wanted to take a sledgehammer to [the empty

trophy case]. Thank god we beat Minnesota so we can get one of those trophy cases filled. It was just annoying. It was kind of like

the best holidays in no

Particular Order:

• Thanksgiving … be-cause nothing says pious

gratitude like unmitigated gluttony.

• Yom Kippur … be-cause a little atonement

can go a long way. At least that’s what my parole officer keeps saying.• New Year’s Eve …

because it’s a good time to separate the casual drunks from the true

career lushes.• Festivus … because

grievances will always need to be aired and feats

of strength will always need to be performed.• Kwanzaa … because

muumuus are slimming.• No Pants Day… be-

cause even the palest, hair-iest, varicosiest set of gams deserves to see the light of

day at least once a year.• Valentine’s Day … be-

cause it keeps people from killing themselves for fear of looking like a sad cliché.

• Father’s Day … be-cause it keeps the ugly tie and paperweight indus-

tries barely afloat.• President’s Day …

because being the most powerful person in the

world is all well and good, but without your own holi-

day, do you really rate?• Grandparent’s Day …

because it’s a good excuse to get Grandpa drunk and

snicker at his crotchety, old-timey swear words.• Columbus Day … be-

cause it’s about time white European types finally got some recognition for their

accomplishments.• Halloween … because when you’re a kid, it’s

costumes and candy. When you’re older, it’s seasonal beers and costumes as

candy. Bona fide King of Holidays.

produce the crowd it had intended in its initial year, people still attended and supported the nonprofit.

McConnell was able to attract numerous Iowa alumni across numerous sports. Former men’s and women’s basketball play-ers, wrestlers, and football players all played in the game and sought to help McConnell and her goal of giving back to the kids.

Former Iowa basket-ball players such as Greg Stokes (1981-1985), Duez Henderson (1998-2002), and Jason Price (1998-2000) all competed and found comfort in Carver playing a basketball game for charity.

“Anytime you can come back and get together with former Hawkeyes and give back to the community, it’s super important,” former Hawkeye football play-er Tim Dwight said. “It’s neat even for me to hang out with some [basketball] players who played in the 1980s.”

Dwight played the game while wearing vintage Chuck Taylors and mid-calf Hawkeye color argyle socks.

“To be a part of this, in its first year, is a great honor,” Henderson said. “It always fun to come out and not be serious, and I think the kids enjoy it.

Carver-Hawkeye is a big-time arena, and for people to see it up close is great for the community.”

Henderson was a part of the fun on the court. After the game’s halftime, he and Price drew up a cou-ple of alley-oop dunks to get the crowd going.

“This what the Hawkeye State is all about,” Price said. “Being able to come back and [play a game] for the fans. To give them something for coming out is always fun.”

After the game, the players became available for autographs, pictures, and conversation with life-long Hawkeye fans.

Even though the num-ber of fans in attendance wasn’t as big as she had hoped, McDonnell still felt the kids that came out were able to leave Carver with a positive experience and knowledge of how to maintain a positive out-look on life.

“[The event] gave more awareness to We Are the World,” McDonnell said. “We may not have gotten the crowd but we got at-tention and awareness. And now we have these athletes on our side that are grateful for being a part of this event.”

Weisman is only taking carries because of inju-ries to those players. As they all return to health, Iowa will need to decide how to adjust its back-field rotation. The answer seems pretty obvious: It shouldn’t.

Weisman trucked through Northern Iowa

and Central Michigan defenders in his impres-sive first two starts. The only question left was how much of that was ex-plained by weak tackling from small-school oppo-nents.

Big Ten play started this past weekend, and Weisman had 100 rushing yards after one quarter of it.

Bullock played well be-fore being knocked out of the lineup. He had 150 yards and a game-win-

ning touchdown against Northern Illinois in Iowa’s season-opener. And he had been off to a blistering start against Northern Iowa. It’s terrible luck for him that a promising sea-son was derailed.

Iowa could still use Bull-ock as a change of pace to Weisman. Bullock is faster and shiftier in the open field, and he is a better re-ceiver out of the backfield. Putting the two of them in the backfield together could give the Hawkeyes

some interesting options.But Weisman almost lit-

erally couldn’t have done more this month to make his interim job a perma-nent one. He has carried an otherwise-weak of-fense on his shoulders for three-consecutive weeks. And in his first two run-ning-back appearances — Iowa gave him only five second-half carries against the Gophers — he seemed stronger and more punishing as the game wears on.

Weisman doesn’t seem to need a complementa-ry back to spell him. He doesn’t need to be part of a running-back commit-tee. You even started to wonder last week why the Hawkeyes would ever do anything but run him off tleft tackle. That will re-main the case even when Bullock and Canzeri are available.

Ferentz said last week it “depends what happens” on whether Weisman would move back to full-back. But then he watched Weisman rumble for 155 first-half yards against Minnesota and came to the same conclusion as the rest of us.

“His fullback days may be numbered,” Ferentz said. “He may be retiring from that spot.”

practice with more focus and attention to detail, and the rewards are visi-ble on the field.

“He’s coming into prac-

tice, and he’s not letting a rep go to waste,” Da-vis said. “The guy really changed the way he’s liv-ing, changed the way he was practicing, and really competing. That builds up your confidence when you’re doing that, espe-cially when you’re starting

to catch the ball. His con-fidence is up through the roof now.”

Quarterback James Vandenberg said he couldn’t agree more. He said Cotton picked up the offense well and really un-derstands everything the Hawkeyes are trying to do.

Better than ever, in fact.“He’s got a better grasp

on the offense, maybe than he ever had, even in the old offense,” Vandenberg said. “He’s able to play to his potential more.”

Davis said Cotton’s progress could be an ex-ample for the rest of the team. He said Cotton had

a big transition to make from playing running back in high school to becoming a Big Ten-caliber receiver, and it’s a sign for other players that they can over-come the obstacles placed in front of them.

Vandenberg said Cotton has established himself as a contributor, and fans

should expect to see more of No. 23.

“He’s definitely earned that right to continue to be involved in the offense,” Vandenberg said. “As he gets more and more catch-es in more and more situa-tions, he’s just going to get more and more confident and better and better.”

her 150th win as the Hawkeye head coach on Sunday, could’ve guessed that each of Iowa’s goals would come with some help from the back-line.

Less than four min-utes after Barnett’s goal, the Hawks received their

sixth penalty corner of the game. The pass came out to junior defender Marike Stribos, who let go of a fierce shot to the up-per-right corner of the net.

Ohio State goalkeeper Emma Voelker’s deflection came right out to fellow defender Lesiak. The se-nior slapped a whistling strike that nicked Sarah Drake’s stick.

The deflection rolled into the net and the rally

was complete.“It felt nice,” Drake said

about the go-ahead score. “We needed that goal. It really didn’t matter who it came from as long as it went in.”

The win over Ohio State means Iowa is the only re-maining undefeated team in Big Ten play. This is the first time the Hawkeyes opened their conference schedule 2-0 since the 2008 season — a season

that ended with Iowa in the NCAA Final Four.

But ask Griesbaum about what it means, and she’ll point to it being no more important than the game that comes next.

“That’s it. It’s just 2-0,” she said. “This is the big time. This is Big Ten play … you have to bring your heart, your soul, and your A-game every day.”

By Carlos [email protected]

The Iowa volleyball team learned this week-end it has more work to do before it starts to win Big Ten matches.

“We have to come out stronger in the first set,” junior libero Bethany Yea-ger said. “We can’t try to fight off a [0-2 deficit] in game three in the Big Ten with these good teams.”

Over the weekend, Iowa struggled to start matches off with the proper inten-sity. No. 24 Michigan State (14-2, 2-2 Big Ten) beat Iowa (8-9, 0-4) with con-sistent energy throughout the match, whereas Iowa faltered through all three sets. The Hawkeyes fell in straight sets (25-19, 25-16, 25-22).

“We keep waiting around, expecting things to happen to determine how were going to play,” Yeager said. “We need to attack them and be the ones to jump on the other team. We can’t take one point off.”

Hawkeye defense al-lowed the Spartans to hit .314 in the first set, while the Black and Gold hit .258. Iowa held close, 11-10, in the first set, but Michigan State pulled away from Iowa with steady hitting.

But the Hawkeyes fal-tered more in the second set, hitting -.045 and com-mitting 11 errors.

“When we get down on a run, we need to pick each other up,” sophomore blocker Alessandra Dietz said. “Every time we get a

point we need to go all out and be there for our team-mates.”

The third set gave Iowa hope it’s capable of win-ning Big Ten matches. The Hawkeyes battled Mich-igan State and even held an early lead in the third set, 12-8, but still came up short in the sweep.

Over the course of the weekend, the Hawkeyes didn’t play up to their ca-pabilities and heard it in-side the huddle from head coach Sharon Dingman.

“It’s intense because were not showing our fans here at Carver what we’re really capable of,” setter

Nikki Dailey said. “Our first and second set, we didn’t play like the team our coach sees, and she re-ally got on us about that.”

Iowa had the same prob-lem the day before against Michigan, where the Hawkeyes lost in straight sets for the second time on the weekend (25-14, 25-21, 25-20). Against the Wol-verines, Iowa’s head coach was dissatisfied with her squad’s ability to finish points.

“We have to kill the ball. We can’t pass that well and hit zero,” Dingman said. “Our hitters have to

figure things out and have to trust themselves more.”

The Hawkeyes didn’t kill the ball well, register-ing a .000 hitting percent-age in their final two sets. Dailey passed the ball well, finishing the Michi-gan match with 28 assists, but only two of her hitters had over 5 kills. Freshman Erin Radke led the team with 9 kills.

The second weekend of Big Ten Play showed Iowa that winning in the nation’s toughest volley-ball conference takes com-posure and being able to trust its talent.

“We have to have more energy and more passion on the court,” senior Alli-son Straumman said. “We have to bring it every sin-gle play.”

Iowa rowers shineThe Hawkeye rowing team

opened its season on Sept. 29 at the Head of the Des Moines by taking home a first place titles in five races. It was Iowa’s first regatta under new head coach Steve Pritzker.

The Hawkeyes A boat took first in the colle-giate 8 race, finishing in 16:58.92 on the 5.05-km course on the Des Moines River. Iowa’s B boat fin-ished second in the race (17:51.01) and the C boat in third (18:37.68) among seven boats. The Iowa collegiate 4 crew also won in 18.49.51, followed by boats in second, fourth, and seventh place. There were 11 boats in the collegiate 4 race.

Nina Hendriks was the only rower to compete in the colle-giate single, crossing the finish line in 23:15.56.

The Hawkeyes went 1-2-3 in the collegiate pair out of four boats: Erin Czupil and Laura Hallman took first (20:18.27), followed by the B and C boats (21:10.72, 23:31.83).

The novice 8 crew also nabbed a blue ribbon, finishing in 19:15.24, in its first regatta out of five boats.

soccer ties twice in Michigan

The Iowa women’s soccer team fought its way to a pair of score-less draws in the state of Michi-gan this past weekend.

The Hawkeyes were outplayed at both ends of the field by No. 22 Michigan, but neither team could get on the board through 110 min-utes of play in the 0-0 result at the Michigan Soccer Stadium in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Sept. 28.

The Wolverines outworked Iowa to the tune of a 24-13 advan-tage in shots, but freshman goal-keeper Hannah Clark continued a strong rookie campaign, saving all seven shots the hosts threw at her in the second frame and in overtime.

Sunday’s contest was almost a mirror image of its predecessor.

Michigan State overwhelmed Iowa throughout the day, but once again, goaltending kept the

Black & Gold afloat, and they held on to draw Michigan State, 0-0, at the DeMartin Soccer Complex in East Lansing, Mich.

The duo of Clark and fellow freshman Meg Goodson combined for 8 saves on 17 shots, including a save by Clark with fewer than 20 seconds remaining in the sec-ond half to force extra time. Iowa had more chances than Michigan State in the extra period with one shot on net but wasn’t able to find the winner.

A glaring issue facing the Hawkeyes (11-1-2, 2-1-2 Big Ten) is their recent drop off in offense since the start of Big Ten play. Iowa outshot its nonconference opponents 168-99 through nine matches, but the Hawkeyes have been outshot 92-70 in five Big Ten contests. The problem was on full display this past weekend as the Wolverines and Spartans com-bined to outshoot Iowa, 41-20.

The lack of firepower can be partly attributed to sophomore forward Cloe Lacasse’s lingering ankle injury.

Iowa head coach Ron Rainey expected to continue his plan of giving Lacasse a break in minutes while she recovers, the under-classmen had seen sporadic min-utes the past couple of games, but the native of Sudbury, Ontar-io, Canada played the full game against Michigan.

Men harriers finish 6th

The Iowa men’s cross-country team took sixth place at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis this past weekend, improving from last year’s finish of 18th place. Although there was a drastic improvement, head coach Larry Wieczorek wasn’t exactly pleased.

Last year, the Griak entailed a higher level of competition with several nationally ranked teams, such as then- No. 1 Oklahoma State and No. 3 Oklahoma. This year, the depth of competition was not as heavy.

“It was a tough meet but no-where near as tough as it was last year,” Wieczorek said. “[Last year] was a much deeper quali-ty.”

Still, Wieczorek was happy with a few of the harriers, specif-ically junior Jon Michael Brandt. He was the first finisher for Iowa, placing 24th at 25:20.

Wieczorek said Brandt has im-

proved drastically from this time last year. Sophomore Kevin Lew-is followed close behind Brandt placing 26th (25:28).

Senior Nick Holmes finished at 31st place (25:35), and fresh-men Anthony Gregorio and Taylor Soltys finished within a second of each other at 54th (26:06) and 57th (26:07), respectively.

Senior Cameron Reiger placed 62nd (26:13) and sophomore Ben Witt rounded out the Hawkeye field at 70th (26:21).

But Wieczorek felt that the team could have finished better. Lewis battled with the top 10 har-riers for most of the 8,000-meter race but faded in the last 2,000 meters.

Brandt, also, faded in the last 2,000 meters after keeping pace with the top 15.

“I feel they could have run better,” Wieczorek said. “That’s not the way we have been prac-ticing, we have been a better team at practices.”

The meet was also the first time they really put the team together and gave Wieczorek an idea of areas that need improve-ment. According to Coach Wiz, everyone goes back to practice with some things he needs to work on.

“I think we’ll keep going ac-cording to plan; we’re optimistic about the past weekend,” he said. “We’re doing better every day, but we just need to execute in the race.”

Dierckx leads men’s tennis

The Iowa men’s tennis team was once again highlighted by the play of junior Jonas Dierckx. He lost in the first round his flight of the Penn Invitational on Sept. 28 but redeemed himself in the consolation bracket.

Dierckx won the Penn Flight single’s consolation bracket over Benjamin Gilman of Lehigh (3-6, 6-2, 6-0) — the last of four-straight match victories to win the title. He was the only Iowa player in competition on Sunday.

Junior Joey White had ear-ly weekend success, notching a 2-1 singles record in the first two days of competition. He and doubles partner junior Chase Tomlins, improved their doubles record to 4-1.

Sophomore Andres Estenssoro and White both made the semifi-

nals in the Hamlin flight and were lined up to meet in the final, but both lost in three-set matches. Estenssoro lost (3-6, 6-4, 10-8’ to Slyvester Wee of Penn, and White lost (6-4, 4-6, 10-3_ to Florian van Kann of Binghamton.

Iowa’s next team competition is the Intercollegiate Tennis Asso-ciation Regionals, in Minneapolis.

Alumni from several Iowa sports showed their support on Sunday in the form of a fundraising celebrity basket-ball game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

The Iowa City All-Star Classic sought to continue the work of We Are the World, a Coralville-based nonprofit that works with at-risk youth.

“I’m always trying to find a way to help bring in money to the organization,” We Are the World executive director Cleo McConnell said. “The original thought was a simple basketball game at a local high school. But when it expanded to Carver, the thought became what do we have to do to fill Carver.”

McDonnell and her work with We Our the World comprises of helping at-risk kids in eastern Iowa. The organization focuses on the kids that suffer from home, environmental, and generational issues that cause them to be at-risk for an uncertain future.

Even though the fundraiser didn’t

Jordan Cotton wasn’t nervous as the ball arced toward him.

“It felt like it was up there forever,” the junior said. “I don’t think it was nerves, it was just more of an adrenaline run-ning. I was that wide open, and I just had to come up with the ball.”

The 47-yard touchdown catch, which came on a flea-flicker in the second quar-ter of a 31-13 victory over Minnesota on Sept. 29, served Cotton’s début to Hawk-eye Nation. He recorded 2 receptions for 44 yards, and he has 4 receptions in his last two games with a 23.25 yards-

per-catch average. But his rise has come seemingly out of nowhere.

The Mount Pleasant, Iowa, native came to Iowa in 2009 as one of three highly touted native recruits, along with Keenan Davis and Brandon Wegher. He redshirted his first year on campus and spent the next two years buried on the depth chart. The term “bust” began popping up around his name. But new offensive coordinator Greg Davis’ arrival seems to have changed that.

“With this new system, everyone has a clean slate,” Cotton said.

Davis said it was good to see Cotton finally reach the end zone.

“To see a guy like that, who’s worked so hard and come such a long way — he deserved that touchdown,” Davis said.

Davis added that Cotton’s maturity has played a big part in his recent emer-gence. He said his teammate comes to

Iowa was in danger on Sunday of drop-ping its first game at Grant Field since Sept. 25, 2011.

The No. 11 Hawkeyes had been bat-tered and bruised during their matchup with the No. 18 Buckeyes and needed inspiration before even thinking about coming back from a 1-goal deficit.

But with fewer than 10 minutes re-maining in the match, Jessica Barnett delivered the tying goal and brought the Grant Field crowd to its feet. The senior followed a penalty corner pass from Niki Schultheis and a perfect catch and set from Geena Lesiak by maneuvering the ball to the right of the penalty circle and slapping a waist-high shot to the back of the Buckeye net.

The senior defender — whose score was her sixth of the year — planted her feet and screamed in jubilation. Iowa (8-2, 2-0 Big Ten) had scored the first goal of what would become an incredible 2-1 comeback win over Ohio State (8-4, 1-1).

“The whole game overall was an uphill battle,” Barnett said. “We played not as poised as we’re used to playing. In that moment, we really needed a goal, and we capitalized on it.”

Barnett’s equalizer provided the nec-essary boost Iowa needed to complete what was seemingly impossible for more than an hour of the match.

Ohio State dictated the pace of play for all but the final eight minutes. The Buckeyes’ blistering offense caused prob-lems for the stout Iowa defense, and they found holes that helped to penetrate the layered backline.

The Buckeye offense, which had re-corded 31 goals during a six-game win

streak before Sunday’s affair, put Iowa on its heels. Freshman Peanut Johnson rattled in the first goal of the afternoon in the 28th minute to give Ohio State a 1-0 lead.

It was the first time all season Iowa trailed while playing at home.

“We had to make a lot of changes,” head coach Tracey Griesbaum said. “It was the spectacular fashion that I will always re-member. Everyone really stepped up.”

Not even the head coach, who reached

Wise men bet on WeismanThe Hawkeyes will need to decide how much to change their backfield ro-tation when injured runners return. Hint: not very much.

The No. 11 Hawkeye field-hockey team ral-lied late in the second half to take down No. 18 Ohio State and re-main perfect in conference play.

Jordan Cotton had a coming-out party against Minnesota, but it was a long road to get there.

Slowly, Kirk Ferentz has come around. Unlike many Hawkeye fans, the 14-

year head coach wasn’t ready to de-clare Mark Weisman a savior after the sophomore burst onto the scene against Northern Iowa. He wasn’t even totally convinced after a 217-yard follow-up ef-fort in a loss to Central Michigan.

He is now. “After one game, you’re kind of like,

‘Hmm, hope I’m seeing it right,’ ” Ferentz said. “Then after two, you start thinking this guy might not be bad. After three games, I think a lot of us are starting to think maybe this guy is a running back.”

The story of Mark Weisman has grabbed the attention of Hawkeye Na-tion — and the rest of the nation, for that matter — over last three weeks. He went from obscurity to superstardom overnight. He literally throws defenders to the ground when they get in his way.

It’s easy to forget that Weisman is still, technically, an injury replacement.

Ferentz said on Sept. 25 that Bullock is “making progress” in recovering from a concussion he suffered against UNI. True freshman Greg Garmon has re-turned from an elbow injury. And indica-tions are that Jordan Canzeri, who tore his ACL in the spring, will be on the field sooner than expected.
