Hip-Hop recording artist best known for his hit single “Bust a Move”
science and president of the Block and Bridle Club, which sponsored the event along with the department of agriculture, opened the forum.
Branstad, sporting a bright red T-shirt with the slogan “Dude, it’s Beef” over his dress shirt, was the first to speak.
Branstad thanked the uni-versity for hosting the forum and Board of Regents members Craig Long and Bruce Rassetter for be-ing there.
Branstad stressed the topics of keeping jobs in Iowa and asked the audience to support the in-dustry, which “needs your help to get the word out” against the smear on a “great product.”
Reynolds and King made similar remarks, with King say-ing that the beef industry makes a “tasty” product that is “award winning.”
As each of the political mem-bers concluded, each donned a cardinal red and gold T-shirt that read “I Support Iowa Agriculture” with the Twitter hashtag “#Beefisbeef” on the back. As the forum progressed, 150 of these T-shirts were thrown into the crowd.
The main purpose of the
event, which was to inform the public about the scientific pro-cess that produces lean finely textured beef, was presented by Dickson, who said he “has been working with BPI with [lean finely textured beef ] for nearly 10 years.”
Degner and Riley stressed the use of social media to get the word out about lean finely textured beef being a healthy product that is “in fact lean beef,” as Dickson said.
Degner told the 300-plus au-dience members to “be rational, to not preach,” but “have a con-versation” when trying to tell the facts about lean finely textured beef.
To prove her point, she showed two photos.
One was of cattle in a pasture and one photo was of beef on a dinner plate to help explain how we “have to get the true story out about how we get beef to the table.”
After, the floor opened for au-dience members to ask questions.
Some attendees asked why the lean finely textured beef was not labeled for consumers, what type of ammonia was used in the product and how Iowa and ag-riculture officials planned to be proactive in the future instead of reactive.

Seniors studying fine arts will be debut-ing their art projects in the exhibit “Primed” as part of the 2012 BFA Juried Senior Student Exhibition.
ISU alumna and studio artist Katy Stone will be selecting entered art pieces for special recog-nition and present comments on the work that is entered.
The “Primed” opening reception and awards presentation will start at 5 p.m. Wednesday in the College of Design.
“Primed” will feature 90 student-made
pieces in the areas of ceramics, drawing, digital media, fiber, metal, mixed media, painting, pho-tography and printmaking.
Kelly Sandos, senior in integrated studio arts, entered her digital photography piece called “Looking Beyond,” which she created while studying abroad last semester in Florence, Italy. Sandos photographed models in Italy in differ-ent historical locations.
“We spent roughly three or four hours shoot-ing in different locations that day and then I spent around the same amount of time in photo editing that night,” Sandos said.
Another project entered was “Mobot,” a digi-tal animation by Ashlin Travers, senior in inte-
grated studio arts. Mobot is a digital robot that moves its claws around and jumps at the viewer before the animation is over.
“The mobot took about three months to complete, working constantly every weekday,” Travers said. “It’s one of my strongest pieces.”
A mural painted by five seniors also will be on display in the Gallery Room during the recep-tion. Each student designed their own section of the wall, then collaborated with the others.
“I did the letters ISA in graffiti to represent Integrated Studio Art,” said Art Vongphakdy, se-nior in integrated studio arts.
Vongphakdy said he usually focuses on met-al working, but still has a love for graffiti.
“I have a lot of graffiti in my background prior to college, but I can’t just walk around doing it,” Vongphakdy said.
Each student working on the mural got a week and a half to think of what they wanted to draw on the mural. Robert Songkham, senior in integrated studio arts, usually works with digital arts; however, he contributed to the mural after being approached by Vongphakdy.
“I was a little nervous because we only had three or four days to paint the mural,” Songkham said.
The mural will be on display from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. “Primed” will be open to the public until April 19.

Empowering student body key for GSB
The school year may be winding down, but the new officers of our Government of the Student Body, executive and senate alike, have assumed their offices and begun meeting in their new sessions. It is at this point in the year when the new members are feeling each other out, building relationships and experi-menting with new policies.
Involving students in GSB was a key campaign issue for both tickets in the election for GSB president and vice president. Both advocated measures that would involve GSB senators with clubs and ordinary stu-dents. Both Swanson-Bartholomew and Knight-Brown wanted to in-crease public awareness of GSB.
As Jared Knight, now the GSB president, told this Editorial Board, there should be input from everyone. GSB, he said, should be bigger than its members. At that same meeting, Katie Brown, now vice president of GSB, said that enhancing the value of students’ Iowa State adventure required talking to them, that GSB’s role should include finding out what is pertinent or important to students.
Interaction is a two-part process. Outreach alone is insufficient.
We ask, how better to improve the ability of ordinary students engaging GSB on the issues important than by making available such things as — in advance of senate and committee meetings — schedules, agendas, bills to be introduced and debated, min-utes of previous meetings and future schedules on the public website?
Making that information available would not only improve GSB rela-tions with the student body of which it is the government, it would allow students to take oversight into their own hands. Indeed, true oversight will not exist until students rely only on themselves to obtain informa-tion regarding the times, places and contents of GSB meetings.
True transparency and, therefore, accountability and participation, will not exist until students can find the information themselves.
Such improvements to their website are some things GSB can do to facilitate participation in student government. In 2009, 2,149 students voted for GSB president and vice president. In 2010, that number rose to 3,824. In 2011 it fell, to 2,978 voters for president and vice president. This year, it fell again, to 2,652 votes cast for an executive ticket.
One wonders how much of that de-cline in electoral participation is due to the opaqueness of GSB’s proceed-ings and priorities that has resulted from the simple technological failure to create and maintain a good web-site. The time for these changes is now, as the new members of GSB are acclimating to their offices, and when there is time for experimentation.

Being an American is not a birthright, it’s a duty, and part of that duty is participa-tion in our government.
Government of the people was not a new idea when the founders ratified the American Constitution in 1787, having written those famous words: “We the People.” Nearly 2,500 years ago, in the Greece of Socrates and Plato, the idea that we all have a stake in government began to form.
Ancient Athenians decided that they were the rightful possessors of the authority of rule. Democracy (a Greek word: demos kratia, liter-ally “people power”) spread like a wildfire on a windy day. Everybody had a vote in ancient Athens, on every law, policy or judgment.
In contrast to today, political inactivity in ancient Greece was considered the aberration, not the norm like now. Indeed, it was expected that an Athenian citizen would volunteer to sit on juries or write and vote on laws. Greeks got in line early in the morning, when it was still dark out, to ensure they could serve on that day’s juries, committees and councils. They were actually disappointed if all the seats were filled before they got their chance.
Imagine that. The only time you see motiva-tion like this in modern America is at a Black Friday sale, to get cheap crap for selfish desires, not to serve some public good.
The American Constitution was written to create not simply a plan for a government, but to create a metaphysical “space” of sorts within which citizens could be political. Politics en-tails interaction with others, and this interac-tion naturally creates conditions for the goal of politics: action.
When you get together with others, stuff that angers you comes up. This inevitably leads to a discussion of proposed solutions. And if Americans felt empowered as the founders
intended them to feel, then the interaction wouldn’t end there; people would take ac-tion and do something about their perceived wrongs.
“I shall assume that your silence gives con-sent,” Plato said. When you allow the conversa-tion to stop and don’t carry through on your ideas somehow, you have failed in your duty as an American. Your silence allows others to act on your behalf, without your input and interaction.
This has terrifying effects.Greek democracy failed because the mob
ruled, governed not by reason, but rather gov-erned by passion. Socrates, himself one of the men responsible for the thriving political life of Athens, was condemned by a public moved to anger by a few men who hated Socrates. They did so because they believed Socrates’ constant inquiries into right and wrong was a threat to social stability.
How could the people be easily led, after all, if they were always wondering about what issues were good and what issues were bad?
The ancient Romans learned about the failure of public political involvement the hard way too. The Romans thought creating a republic would solve the difficulties of democ-racy and perhaps for awhile it did.
But the Romans, like us now, discovered a new problem: When you disconnect yourself from government and trust it entirely to an elected few, those few will soon realize that citizens will vote for them so long as they’re given things to placate them.
Roman candidates for office usually threw
giant parties, festivals and held athletic com-petitions for their voters — all of it paid for by the candidate or his supporters. This evolved into giving Romans free food and holding the famous gladiatorial games. Here, today, it’s bailouts and social services of every nature.
In Latin, the practice came to be known as “panem et circenses”: bread and circuses. Give the ignorant masses what they want and they’ll continue to vote for someone no matter what they do in office. This ought to sound familiar, because it happens here, today. Americans have failed in their duties as citizens. We are uninvolved and trust people we pay no atten-tion to too much. The loss of a vibrant, active citizenry is killing us.
The lesson we learned from the ancients, it seems, is the wrong one — the same one that lead to their demise. America’s founders knew better, however, and the constitution they wrote provides the fertile ground for citizens to do what our ancient predecessors did not. When you boil it down, the American govern-ment was created to do two things: Protect your individual rights and do the things that we cannot do individually as citizens or states.
Clearly there will be arguments about these things, such as: Are there limits on free speech? Or, is there a role for government in health care since it’s something every American needs? Debates on these issues are precisely what the founders wanted, and this necessary involve-ment is what the Greeks and Romans lost, ultimately leading them on a path straight to the history books where they exist now only as bumps on the road to modernity, of interest only to academics and history geeks like me. America is doomed to the same fate if we don’t figure this out, and soon.

Society
Be the person you want to become
Society today places so much stress on being an individual, the idea of self-
improvement and striving to be something more is often thrown under the bus as character flaws are ignored and justified as “being yourself.” Nobody should ever be so vain as to accept “who they are” as sufficient, never seeking further personal progression.
“Fake it till you make it.” This is a fantastic phrase, optimistic and sensibly succinct with an all too true message. The meaning is straightforward — no one is original, everyone started in the same place, it’s those who perse-vere through the unknown who “make it.”
Why is “fake” such a common term for high-grade malignity? It doesn’t make sense to remain stagnantly poised with one set of character traits for all time, forever clutching the already known, never grasping for more. A person’s interests and traits should be constantly evolving to fit their environment and where
they wish to be in the future.To not change is to be stagnant,
content with who you are and failing to see any room for im-provements. Thus, to change is to evolve, to become something you were not before.
Even Lady Gaga, undoubtedly one of the most unique people to influence our generation, is “fake.” She wouldn’t be who she is without Madonna or David Bowie or anybody with a unique fashion sense before her. There was a probably a time in her life before her days of meat suits when she was a regular, American Eagle-clad girl. Eventually, she decided she no longer wanted to be that person and began taking steps toward becoming the person she is today.
Patti Smith, an influential musician of the 1960s, wrote in her book “Just Kids” about how she and her boyfriend moved to New York from the Midwest with
no particular skills or talents, only dreams.
To make money and pass the time, they picked up hobbies: music and painting. They knew nothing and didn’t fit in with the artist culture, but were so passion-ate and perhaps desperate that they eventually developed enough skill that people began to buy their art. They made themselves into the people they wanted to be — they “faked it” long enough to “make it.”
There are many people, especially teenagers, confused why the world perceives them in a certain way, but the answer is simple — you are what you do. If you play video games, you’re a gamer; partiers party; students study; teachers teach. You get the picture. Granted, our hobbies do not entirely define us (i.e., values, past experiences, etc.), but it’s what we present to the world of ourselves that creates their im-ages or schemas of us.
Awareness of who we are as a person, what our goals are and the image we portray of ourselves to others is how we know where we are headed in life. If you don’t like it, change it.
Becoming the person you want to be doesn’t happen overnight.
People seem to not realize that to be good at anything requires an in-sane amount of time and practice. When I was younger, I wanted to be good at basketball. My abilities reflected my enthusiasm for the sport — mediocre.
The same can be said of schoolwork; if you don’t practice the lessons, your grasp of the concepts will be limited. Nobody is born skilled, and I don’t believe talent is inherited genetically; they are both learned and practiced traits.
Success does not have to be overly simplified to selfish desires; striving to be a better father, a bet-ter wife, more religious or simply becoming a better person are all noble goals to shoot for. If you long for something more, or even to be better, quit wishing and start doing. Begin with the basics and build off that. Repetition makes practice and practice makes perfect.
Forget “being yourself.” You are capable of being so much more; be the person you want to be, the person you can be.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, com-monly known as the LDS
or Mormon church, has been in the national spotlight lately, with Jon Huntsman and Mitt Romney running for president. For years, Harry Reid has served as Senate Democratic Majority Leader as well.
For me, a lifelong member of the church who grew up in Utah, it has thrown into sharp relief the miscon-ceptions about Latter-day Saints that I had heard existed but never experienced. Since I do not have the space to address and rebut every mis-conception about my faith, I will stay positive and offer some clarifying assertions. That way, at least, people will know how Mormons see them-selves. So, who are the Mormons and what are they about?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints claims to be nothing less than God’s own church on the earth, restored and led by himself. In the church is the fullness of Christ’s gospel, restored to Joseph Smith, who had the same power and authority as prophets of past millen-nia. That authority has been passed to each succeeding president of the church, down to President Thomas
S. Monson today. Consequently, the gospel contains the keys to happiness and the authority to provide neces-sary ordinances for the next life.
The implications of these truths could hardly be more significant. Either God deals directly with humankind or he does not. If he does, what would that look like? Why are there not prophets today, in a most critical era? Why does he not send more guidance and wisdom for us today, that we may find joy and reach our potential in this life and beyond?
Latter-day Saints, or Mormons, frankly believe that God lives and he does speak to his children, pleading with them to follow him. We further claim that his power and message are fully manifest in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
To me personally, the church means everything. I would not be where I am today if not for the church, but more importantly, my hope for the future is bright. When I find myself drifting away from the spirit and teachings of the church, my
strength flags; bitterness and cyni-cism infiltrate my attitude; and the past seems to hold the future hostage.
But as I seek to be nearer Christ and make efforts to follow his teach-ings taught in the church, I find strength I didn’t have, I find love for all people and I know that every element of my life serves a purpose. This is the blessing of knowing God lives and cares for each of us, and it is a blessing each and every one can obtain.
I am fully aware that my stating such things in a public forum may invite ridicule from some. Yet even to those who cannot believe, I would assert that my religion only increases my power to be a better member of the society on which we all depend. I and others of my faith hold hard work, honesty, a hunger for truth and care for our fellow man to be among our highest ideals. We stand for those ideals that lift people everywhere of all faiths and traditions.
If you have questions about what Mormons believe, my plea would be to go to the source rather than to rely on popular culture. Read the Book of Mormon yourself. At the very least, go the church’s websites (www.lds.org and www.mormon.org)
before passing judgment. Better yet, visit your local congregation.
As for the many criti-cisms of the church, they tend to fade under close examination. Seek from the source to discover if the church is true. The true church of Christ has always suffered rather stiff opposition. This is not likely to change. One resource which seeks to refute the myriad of criticisms is Mormon Voices (www.mormon-voices.org) and the as-sociated Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (www.fairlds.org).
“Mormons” will always be a little different from many other people, but as 2 percent of the population in the United States and growing, we are not the limited curiosity that we once were. The LDS church is now the fourth largest church in the United States.
Many of you will have the op-portunity to meet and work with
LDS members. I think you will find that members will never retreat from the truth of the gospel, but I think you will also find them to be valuable contributors at work, in the commu-nity and in society.

Letters to the editor
In the weeks since the Government of the Student Body voted to phase out the sale of bottled water on campus, university and student administrators have been discussing whether it is in the best interests of the university to do so.
The GSB vote was close, and both parties continue to raise concerns about losing revenue from bottled wa-ter sales, the “inconvenience” students may face by having to carry a reusable bottle and other potential issues.
But all of these concerns must be balanced by the damage bottled water does during its long journey to our campus, and the potentially longer one it has yet to make.
A bottle of water begins as petro-leum, which is processed into polyeth-ylene terephthalate — aka PET or #1 plastic. This plastic is shaped into flat bottles, shipped to bottling factories and stretched into its familiar three-dimensional shape using about twice as much water as it takes to fill each bottle before it is filled with the water we drink.
That water does not have to come from a spring or even be filtered. In
fact, most bottled water companies will not disclose what chemicals might be present in their water. What’s more, this water sits in the plastic bottle as it is shipped and sits on shelves, all the while accumulating chemicals from the plastic. These include the infamous BET, a known endocrine disrupter used to soften the bottles, and antimony, an element associated with depression that catalyzes the transformation of petroleum into PET.
When the bottled water and all of these chemicals enter our bodies, its story is far from over. In many towns, and in the dorms here at Iowa State, mindful individuals can recycle the bot-tles from bottled water. Unfortunately, many areas lack deposits or recycling programs for bottled water, and most bottles end up in the trash.
Flammable trash like plastic bottles gets burned in Ames’s coal-fired power plant, releasing hazardous chemicals such as dioxins into the air along with
greenhouse gases. The energy produced from burning bottles pales in compari-son to the energy that it took to create it and get it to the power plant.
That we pay for bottled water in Ames is a great irony, for we have some of the best tap water in the nation, and it costs less than 0.05 percent as much as bottled water. Considering that bottled water costs more than gasoline, that’s a lot of money. What’s more, more than 90 colleges and universities have re-stricted or eliminated the sale of bottled water, so those savings are definitely attainable.
By making the switch to tap water, our campus will become a role model for sustainability, all the while saving students money and protecting the health of the campus community.
So bottled water may seem refresh-ing and convenient, but it is also bad for our bodies and our environment — not to mention expensive. When we drink tap, we pay next to nothing, because making clean, healthy water is cheap; it’s putting it in a petroleum-based bottle that’s expensive.
When we buy bottled water, we are paying for plastic. The choice is clear.

Express dissent with respect, tolerance
This week, many of you will notice the presence of Mr. Thomas Short and Mr. Keith Darrell on campus.
Though few of you will know them by name, some of you will walk by not acknowledging them, others will stop to listen and others still will sit down to join the debate.
I am, of course, speaking of the men who stand between Parks Library and the Hub, speaking about Jesus to anyone willing listen. When you walk by, you will almost certainly notice the group of atheists standing nearby willing and eager to stand up for their lack of belief.
I am a proud member of the latter group; however, Monday, I was disappointed in my comrades.
At the beginning of Short’s address, a fellow student who stood by the atheist banner showed Short “the bird.” Short was fairly gracious about the in-cident, only briefly mentioning it before continuing on. Despite Short’s thick skin about the inci-
dent, I was offended.I was offended because I
believe we can play host to a culture of acceptance. I want my view to be respected, and the cost of that is that I respect the views of others.
I know I am not alone in this belief, but unfortunately the voice of tolerance is seldom the one heard.
Too often only the extrem-ists dictate the way a whole group of people is seen. I rather suspect that many Christians don’t want to be represented by the Westboro Baptists, and likewise I don’t want to be represented by anyone who disrespects another, profanely or otherwise.
So, my friends, I challenge you. Even if you don’t respect the message Short is preaching or the belief he and many hold dear, lend him your ear and show him courtesy.

WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY

live in a landfill where their feet are exposed to broken glass, syringes and debris.
Nearly 2 million Kenyan children are infect-ed by jiggers, burrowing fleas that cause painful lesions.
Four million people have podoconiosis, a de-bilitating and disfiguring soil-based foot disease. More than 700 million people are affected by hookworm, a worm that causes intestinal pain, weakness and cognitive impairment.
Brittney Carpio, SUB awareness direc-tor and senior in political science, and Anna Schowe, campus representative for TOMS and junior in apparel, merchandising, design and production, organized this year’s event.
At 2:30 p.m., they laid out a tarp with sand, pebbles and gravel on Central Campus. Participants were asked to walk across the dif-ferent terrains to get an idea of what children have to walk through every day.
“This day sheds more light on [their experi-ences],” Carpio said. “It makes it more realistic ... this is your way of giving voice to them.”
“All you have to do is go barefoot,” Schowe added. “It’s something you take for granted — putting on shoes in the morning.”
Sean Edwards, open-option sophomore, was the first to walk across the rocky course.
“So many people in the world don’t have shoes,” Edwards said. “People [here] are used to the comfort of shoes.
“Without shoes, you’re more directly con-nected with the earth ... it’s a way of becoming more grounded.”
Edwards added that people tend to disas-sociate themselves from what is important and that One Day Without Shoes is a starting point to understanding there are bigger things out there than someone’s own life.
Lauren Sandstrom, an SUB graduate adviser who worked on the advising committee of the event, said she learned how difficult it must be to live without shoes.
“I literally could only stand on those rocks for five seconds, it hurt so bad,” Sandstrom said. “It really opened my eyes to a lot of the pains and infections people open themselves up to when they can’t afford shoes.”
Following the interactive walk through the different terrains, the group walked the “golden loop” of campus — a one-mile stretch from the Campanile, around the edge of campus and back to the center.
Sandstrom said she hopes to see the event raise awareness to poverty issues worldwide and inspire people to become more involved with TOMS Shoes and events that help “allevi-ate this worldwide issue.”

they believe the Bush tax cuts should be eliminated in the United States.
“Our economy and soci-ety will be happier, healthier and more productive if one group does not exceed be-cause of another,” Kimm said. “The American treasure is for all, not just for some, and everyone should be taken into account when making decisions.”
Opposing the beliefs of the Democrats, the team of Forrest Irvine, junior in polit-ical science; David Pedersen, sophomore in pre-business; Jon Laudner, freshman in pre-business; and Caitlyn Van Dame, senior in history, spoke on their behalf as to why the College Republicans feel the American society has a spending problem, not nec-essarily a revenue problem.
“Everyone always talks about how bad debt it is, and then we turn around and criticize those who have been willing to save and in-vest their profits,” Irvine said. “Investing and saving are both good assets.”
As the debate proceeded, each team had the chance to give rebuttal and make claims that could help support or disregard facts made.
Kimm and Laudner each had two minutes to speak on behalf of their team to sum up the main points each team wanted the audience to know and take away from the debate.
“Putting a majority on the fewer people just doesn’t work,” Laudner said. “You can’t have a level playing field with a progressive system.”
Kimm and the Democrats focused on a main idea that the level of playing field should be equal.
“If you work together, play by the rules and take respon-sibility, success is yours,” Kimm said. “We need to re-turn to a tax code that works, not a tax code that leaves a majority of Americans out.”
After the debate was finished, the audience was allowed to briefly ask ques-tions pointed at either or both teams participating.
For the five questions asked, four questions were pointed at the Republicans and one question was direct-ed toward the Democrats.
During the questionnaire session, what had appeared as a civil debate rose into a pointed and hostile atmo-sphere with the last question concerning a comment made about people on food stamps and what their employment future withheld.
Closing the awarding of the Caucus Cup, the audience was open to talk further in detail with the debaters and given refreshments.
Abbie Lang, sophomore in finance, was pleased with the turnout of the debate and felt the event ran rather smoothly.
“I feel like both sides have very good points. They did their homework and had good points,” Lang said. “Both the Democrats and Republicans seemed to argue very effectively.”
Hughes appeared joyful and excited to see the ISU College Democrats’ accom-plishment of the victory af-ter dedicating many hours of preparation to the event.
“I am very excited that our hard work has finally paid off,” Hughes said. “I am thankful we had the oppor-tunity to speak about such an important issue to the Iowa State community.”
With this event as its kick-off, First Amendment Day will celebrate its 10th annual celebration Thursday as a re-minder to the five freedoms that are granted in the U.S. Constitution.

Photo: Ryan Francois/Iowa State DailyWhile some sports are affected by the conference realignment in the Big 12, golf does not expect to see many changes. The ISU golf teams face opponents from different conference throughout the season, and each team’s biggest conference event is the Big 12 Championships.
Conference realignment for the Big 12 has caused shock waves among the sports that are af-fected by teams both coming and going.
One sport the realignment hardly has any effect on, however, is golf.
“I wouldn’t say it directly affects us,” said ISU men’s golf coach Andrew Tank. “The only time we play against Big 12 competition is at the Big 12 Championship.”
Iowa State’s women’s golf coach Christie Martens shared the same view as Tank: The change will not be a significant one.
Golf is set up differently than almost any other Division I sport. Instead of head-to-head matches throughout the season, each team participates in invitational meets with several other schools.
The teams participating aren’t just from the Big 12, either. Instead, the schools can range from a small Division III school to a full-fledged Division I school.
Then, at the end of each year, every team in the conference gathers for a championship meet. For the men’s golf teams in the Big 12 Conference, it rotates between two sites: Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, Kan., and Whispering Pines in Trinity, Texas.
This year for the men’s Big 12 Championships, the teams are competing at Whispering Pines.
“For us, the conference championship is kind of a special event at the end of the year, and being the fact that it’s the only time where all the schools are there, I think that’s kind of a cool part of it,” Tank said.
The women’s Big 12 Championships, how-ever, fluctuates year-to-year and will take place in Lawrence, Kan., this year for the second time ever.
Leaving the conference after this season is Texas A&M and Missouri.
Texas A&M’s men’s team won the 2009 national title and is currently ranked No. 14, according to Golfweek.com, while the women are No. 17.
The A&M men are traditionally near the top of the college rankings every year. This year, they boast four golfers in the top 100, including No. 43 Cameron Peck.
Comparatively, Missouri is not as strong of a golf program with its men ranked No. 79 and women ranked No. 94. Its top-ranked golfer is No. 69 Jace Long on the men’s side, and Hannah Lovelock is No. 404 on the women’s side.
From a strength perspective, the Big 12 will lose one team, but not necessarily strength as a confer-ence. With Missouri and Texas A&M leaving, only Texas Christian University will join.
West Virginia doesn’t have a golf program for men or women. However, WVU Sports Information Director Bryan Messerly said in an email to the Daily that the school is “reviewing the possibilities of adding additional sports in the near future to bet-ter integrate itself into the Big 12 Conference. No decision has been made for what sport and when that will be.”
Martens said she doesn’t believe losing the two teams and adding TCU will have much of an ef-fect on the conference. “I don’t think there’s a huge difference between Texas A&M and TCU from a women’s golf standpoint,” Martens said. “They’re both pretty similar in their history.”
TCU brings in the No. 34-ranked men’s team and also the No. 35-ranked women’s team. On the men’s side, TCU boasts the No. 14-ranked golfer in college golf in Julien Brun, along with the No. 69-ranked golfer in Johan De Beer.
“Texas A&M leaving definitely weakens the con-ference from a golf standpoint,” Tank said. “They
won the NCAA Championship a couple years ago. They’re usually a top 15 program, so that definitely weakens the overall strength of the conference, but TCU is a good addition.”
Even though the golf programs ultimately won’t be affected heavily by the conference changes, that doesn’t mean they weren’t worried when it was happening earlier in the year.
“There’s always fear involved when you don’t know the future and you don’t really have much control in it either,” Tank said. “Luckily, our lead-ership and [ISU Athletic Director] Jamie Pollard were on top of things and they worked out.”
There’s been a lot of concern and change with the Big 12 realignment, but amid the exodus, Big 12 golf has no reason to worry.
“We don’t have a series where we go and play every school at their place, so it’s not going to be re-ally different,” Martens said. “I’m not anticipating a huge effect.”
Editor’s note:This is the fifth part of an eight-part series about how Big 12 realignment affects non-revenue sports at Iowa State. Part 5 focuses on the men’s and women’s golf teams. Part 6, on gymnastics, will publish Thursday.

Gymnastics
With the week off, athletes get rest, coaches recruit and the ISU gymnastics team is in one of two plac-es: the past or the future.
The season came to an end Saturday at the NCAA Regional in Utah, where the Cyclones’ less than stellar performance resulted in sixth place out of six teams.
“Honestly, it doesn’t feel real yet,” said senior standout Celine Paulus. “It’s so bittersweet. I wish it would have ended better. Up to this point, it’s been so good and then it
was hard ending on not the greatest meet in the world. Not regret, but disappointment.” Season in review
Paulus, along with fellow senior Michelle Browning, said one of their favorite moments came early in the season when the gymnasts clinched the Cy-Hawk Series for Iowa State with a home victory against Iowa.
Junior Elizabeth Stranahan chose the Big 12 Championship meet as her favorite moment. Coach Jay Ronayne went a different direction for his most cherished times this season.
“A lot of the highlights for the year
take place in [practice],” Ronayne said. “We had a great time. We worked really hard, but it didn’t feel like hard work because it was enjoyable. The training time was the highlight for me.”
With the gymnasts’ class sched-ules spread out, practice lasted all day long. Coaches were in the gym with the athletes for much longer than Ronayne is accustomed to.
“We were in the gym a lot,” Ronayne said. “Even though it dragged on from 9 [a.m.] to 5 [p.m.], it was kind of fun. There was a lot more one-on-one time with the athletes. That’s what it’s all about.”
Ronayne also said Paulus’ 9.950 performances and other moments

Ozzie Guillen apologizes over Castro commentBy Steven Wine The Associated Press MIAMI — A contrite Ozzie Guillen sat in the heart of Little Havana seeking forgiveness for what the Miami Marlins manager called the biggest mistake of his life — saying he admired Fidel Castro.
This wasn’t some offhanded insult about a sports writer, the type of thing that got the outspoken Guillen in trouble in Chicago. This was personal to the fan base that the Marlins rely on so much that they built their new stadium in the middle of the city’s Cuban-American neighborhood.
Castro is the sworn enemy of those fans.
So after being suspended for five games Tuesday, the Marlins manager tried to quell the tempest.

11 years
with the seniors are fond memories from the 2012 season. Foresight
With a half-dozen recruits coming in next season and three seniors leaving, the dy-namic of this team will be much different in 2013.
“We lose three seniors that have meant a lot to us,” Ronayne said. “To replace them is going to be difficult. In those spots we have six high-quality athletes to choose from.
“The athletes that we have coming in have potential to be better than our graduating ath-letes. They have potential, I’m not promising anything.”
Stranahan said the team will focus on building during the offseason and start getting ready for the incoming fresh-men. She also will be fine-tun-ing and building new skill sets.
Wonders of whether the Cyclones can recover next season after losing three se-niors were put to rest by a true veteran.
“I think they will have a quick turnaround,” Browning said. “I think they will be just fine.”

The ISU softball team fell to Drake 8-6 in Des Moines on Tuesday evening.
The Cyclones (12-25, 1-8 Big 12) split the season series with the Bulldogs (17-19, 8-4 Missouri Valley), who they de-feated 1-0 on March 28 behind a strong pitching performance by sophomore Taylor Smith.
Drake threw staff ace Jordan Gronewold into the pitcher’s circle on Tuesday, go-ing six complete innings and allowing four earned runs on nine hits and four walks.
“She’s usually really pretty good,” said ISU coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler. “I thought that she struggled with command today, but we didn’t do a good job of taking advantage of that.”
Iowa State scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning and was beginning to mount a comeback against Gronewold when she was re-placed by freshman Rebekah Schmidt.
“I think that we should’ve been doing that really through-out the game,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “I thought that we were capable of doing that to-day and we didn’t.”
Gronewold had a very pro-ductive game at the plate, go-ing 3-for-3 with a home run and two RBIs.
Despite Smith’s domi-nance of the Bulldogs during
the previous meeting, ISU ju-nior Tori Torrescano got the start Tuesday coming off a one-run complete game vic-tory against Texas A&M on Sunday.
Torrescano allowed eight earned runs on 12 hits and two walks in a losing effort and is now 7-17 on the season.
“Tori threw great on Sunday and came out and gave up 12 hits today, so obviously she didn’t have her best stuff,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.
T h e C y c l o n e s showed signs of offense T u e s d a y , scoring six runs on nine hits, but still failed to cash
in on the base paths.“We stranded 10 runners
on base,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said. “Anytime that you’re stranding double-digits of run-ners, then that’s not good.”
ISU senior Dalyn Varela finished the day 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored. Her two hits included a no-out, two-RBI double in the top of the seventh inning to bring the Cyclones within three runs of the lead.
Freshman Lexi Slater, who
went 2-for-3 with an RBI on the day, would follow with a two-out sacrifice fly.
Bulldog freshman Hayley Nybo, who was batting .303 with five home runs and 24 RBIs going into Tuesday’s game, built on her impressive season by finishing the day 2-for-3 with an RBI.
Iowa State leads the all-time series against Drake 70-18, including three wins last season, but failed to live up to their previous numbers Tuesday.
“I think that we had the op-portunity to win today and we didn’t,” Gemeinhardt-Cesler said.
The Cyclones will travel to Stillwater, Okla., this week-end for a three-game series at Oklahoma State.

With just two practices and Saturday’s spring game remaining before the ISU quarterback battle takes a four-month recess, ISU coach Paul Rhoads gave his straight-forward take on the two quar-terbacks — redshirt sopho-more Jared Barnett and senior Steele Jantz — at a news con-ference Monday.
“To be the quarterback, you should have close to as thor-ough an understanding as the coach does and I don’t think [Jantz and Barnett] had that a season ago,” Rhoads said. “I think they’re a lot closer to that right now, I think they can give you answers, I think they can tell you why.”
Although the offense com-mitted five turnovers, Rhoads still felt that both players steered the offensive units to production in the team’s sec-ond intrasquad scrimmage this past Saturday.
“Jared was very efficient with his reps,” Rhoads said. “He’s not a flashy guy he doesn’t have the biggest arm, but his football teams were productive.
“Steele was a little flashy. He showed us the same guy that we saw in the first two-and-a-half games [last season] with his escapability, with his ability to make people miss and he does have great velocity on his ball.”
Rhoads pointed to deci-sion-making and comfort level in the offense as the two areas where both signal callers have made the biggest strides since the Pinstripe Bowl last season in which both failed to spark the ISU offense in a 27-13 loss to Rutgers.
With a smaller playbook under new offensive coordi-nator Courtney Messingham, Rhoads has noticed through the charting of each player’s post-snap reads in practice that both Barnett and Jantz have made fewer mistakes and better decisions heading into the final week of spring practices.
“We have tried to make it more easily managed by them and I think their play has ele-
vated because of that,” Rhoads said. Freshman Floridians set to splash in spring game
Currently listed right be-hind Barnett and Jantz on the depth chart at quarter-back is redshirt freshman Sam Richardson who, along with wide receiver Quenton Bundrage, are two of 16 Sunshine State natives on the ISU roster that will suit up Saturday.
Rhoads labeled Richardson as “the most natural” among the three quarterbacks on Monday, saying he makes things on the field look easy sometimes while at other times forcing things and look-ing like the redshirt freshman that he is.
“My goal is to put myself in a position where I can win us games if I need to,” Richardson
said when asked about his goal for next fall. “If I’m given the opportunity to play, obviously I just want be ready to be put into the game and have the coaches comfortable with me in there as well as the team-mates that are on the field with me.”
A three-year letterwinner at Winter Park High School, the 6-foot-2-inch, 204-pound Richardson will take his first snap in front of fans at Jack Trice Stadium in Saturday’s spring game.
“As an individual, I just want to go out there and show what I can do with the ball and show the skills that I bring to the table for the coaches and just to reassure them that I’m ready for an opportunity,” Richardson said.
One of two former Manatee High School preps on the squad — along with defen-sive tackle Quinton Pompey — Bundrage received many visits
from ISU defensive line coach Shane Burnham throughout the recruiting process.
“Coach Burnham came in from the get-go when I first started getting offers and he just never left,” Bundrage said. “That shows how much he re-ally wanted me here at Iowa State and how loyal he was.”
Bundrage, who high jumped 6-8 in high school, has been touted as one of the best athletes among the team’s cur-rent receiving corps.
After learning more about Iowa State’s offense, Bundrage feels prepared to contribute in 2012.
“I came in and kind of ex-pected to get in a little bit and play, but obviously you see I didn’t play,” Bundrage said. “I didn’t really know the plays that well, so it was a good thing that I redshirted and got back in the weight room.
“That really helped me out for this spring to come in and
compete.” Burris, Dika sidelined for Saturday
Rhoads said Tuesday that two ISU offensive linemen who missed time due to in-juries last season will miss Saturday’s spring game as well.
Redshirt senior Brayden Burris will be sidelined with a sprained ankle and redshirt sophomore Shaban Dika tore his ACL in his knee. Dika will undergo surgery Thursday.
“Losing Shaban is hard,” Rhoads said. “We think Shaban really had an opportu-nity to challenge for a starting position for us, so [I’m] disap-pointed in that.”
Both players were listed on the Cyclones’ two-deep depth chart released at the begin-ning of spring practice with Burris slotted as the No. 1 at right tackle and Dika behind redshirt sophomore Jacob
Gannon at right guard.Burris, who started last
season at right tackle, broke a bone in his leg in Iowa State’s fourth game of the season against Texas, but returned to start in the final three games.
Dika played significantly at right guard in Iowa State’s sea-son opener against Northern Iowa last season before suf-fering a MCL injury the next week and missing the remain-der of the season.
Rhoads also noted that redshirt senior defensive end Roosevelt Maggitt may or may not play as he continues to re-cover from a torn ACL he suf-fered last season.
“Rosie Maggitt will be back in team drills this week, but I still might hold him out of the spring game, then again he might play,” Rhoads said.
Saturday’s spring game kicks off at Jack Trice Stadium at 2 p.m. and is free to the public.

AMENDMENT DAY
STThursday, April 12 8 – 9:30 p.m. Freedom Sings: Grammy Award-winning musicians come together for a high-energy and high-volume concert to showcase music that has been banned, censored or sounded calls for social change. This multimedia experience from the First Amendment Center uses the very music deemed too controversial to share the history of censorship on musical artists. Great Hall, Memorial UnionFeaturing: Bill Lloyd, former member of the top country duo Foster and Lloyd, whose work has been recorded
by Hootie and the Blowfish and other top acts. Joseph Wooten, a singer and songwriter, and keyboard player for the Steve Miller Band. Jason White, On his debut Shades of Gray, Jason White proved he had a knack for gritty storytelling couched in fluent pop. He combined the two with such success that Tim McGraw picked up the record’s brooding “Red Ragtop” and made it into a controversial hit. Ashley Cleveland, a gritty, powerful singer and the only woman to win three Grammy Awards for best rock gospel album.

Enjoy candy in a fun and cute new way when you make your own lollipops.
It's as simple as melting your favorite candy and adding a stick, but they look so good, no one will ever know.
Ingredients � Hard candies, such as Jolly Ranchers and
Life Savers
� Lollipop sticks
� Parchment paper and foil
Directions1. Pre-heat the oven to 275 degrees. Cover a
baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a piece of parchment paper on top of the foil.
2. Arrange the Jolly Ranchers so that there are three or four candies in a vertical line, touching each other. The Life Savers can be arranged any way you want, but they do look really cute in the shape of a flower. Only place about four lollipops per baking sheet and don't forget to leave room for the sticks.
3. Bake for 6 minutes or until candy is almost melted. Be careful: If they are baked too long, they will become really thin and it will be hard to put the stick in.
4. As soon as the lollipops are taken out of the oven, place a stick in each one.
5. Allow them cool and then remove them from the tray. Enjoy!
