Bob Vizzini is a lecturer at the University of Iowa. He has trav-eled to Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Canada, the Philippines and Hungary to meet with foreign leaders. While in Canada, he was an assistant pastor. He moved from Washington state to work in Iowa City. Vizzini is married with five children.
All of these accomplishments have been experienced with only four senses. Vizzini has been deaf since the age of five from spinal meningitis. His wife, Sharon, was born hard of hearing, but grew deaf gradually.
For the first time since 1972, Iowa will be celebrating Deaf Awareness Week.
Gov. Terry Branstad signed a proclamation request from the Iowa Department of Human Rights to de-clare the week of Sept. 22 to 28 as Deaf Awareness Week.
Members of the Government of the Student Body’s executive and leg-islative branches gathered in Memorial Union for a six hour training retreat on Saturday, Sept. 21. This is the first retreat and the first official training ses-sion GSB has held for its
members.GSB President Spencer
Hughes, Vice President Hillary Kletscher and Public Relations Chair Zachary Bauer came up with the idea of a retreat when they determined that to improve the GSB organi-zation they had to improve the members of GSB by

Student government hosts learning retreat
Brandi Boyett/Iowa State DailyFor the first time since 1972, the state of Iowa is celebrating Deaf Awareness Week. One thing students can do to raise their awareness is to learn some sign language. Many books are available on the subject at Parks Library.DEAF p3 >> GSB p3 >>
Courtesy of Zachery BauerMembers of the Government of the Student Body gathered in Memorial Union for a six hour training retreat on Saturday.
“To nurture common ground, enrich and sustain individual lives and remember.”
For years the Memorial Union has been following that mission, and Monday marks its 85th anniversary.
“The MU is a place where everyone can converse as equals,” said Director of the MU Richard Reynolds. “We want people to un-derstand the sense of community we offer here.”
The idea of having a student center be-gan circulating amongst the student body in 1914, with the fund drive beginning in 1919 following the First World War.
With the entire project being student driven, from the fundraising to the archi-tectural design, the students had wanted to have a memorial to honor those who had given their lives during the war.
To lead such a monumental project, the student body turned to Col. Harold Pride. Pride, who served on the alumni association board and who would later become the first director of the MU, held the dual role as proj-ect organizer and fundraiser.
In 1922, the students pledged $50,000 towards the project and then sought alumni to raise further funds.
The goal was to raise $1 million in or-der to acquire a loan. Students were asking alumni for $100 to be paid over five years. This equates to $2,000 in today’s terms.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held April 26, 1927, with construction of Gold Star
Hall and the Great Hall finished on Sept. 23, 1928.
Since then, the MU has gone through 11 renovations and expansions, but the MU has more to it than just bricks and mortar.
The Memorial Union is home to many ISU traditions, myths, legends and stories. It is a place where students study and con-verse. It is also a place where students have met, and even wed, their significant other.
“The MU gave people a social cen-ter they never had before. The union cre-ated this whole campus experience that had nothing to do with going to class,” said Kathy Svec, former marketing coordinator for the MU. “It changed the campus by giving it a focal point. It serves as the front door of the university.”
When Svec thinks of the MU, she said she sees it as home to a plethora of stories and legends. Svec stated how former alumni are always coming back and sharing their memories of the MU.
One of Svec’s favorite MU legends is that of Hortense Elizabeth Wind. Wind, who is said to haunt the MU, was a dietician during World War I who died during the flu epidem-ic of 1918. She is the only woman listed on the walls of Gold Star Hall.
“The late night staff from time to time hears footsteps when nobody is there or feels a draft of cold air. Other weird phenom-enons like slamming doors when nobody is there also happen,” Svec said. “One time we were cleaning and we found a folded up

Protesters of the Keystone XL pipeline, a proposed pipeline that would carry tar sands oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, lined up at the intersection of Lincoln Way and Welch Avenue on Saturday.
Tar sands oil consists of crude oil mixed with sand, clay and bitumen, a material used for road and roof surfacing.
Approximately 30 people turned out for the “Draw the Line” rally, and about a third of them were students.
“It was interesting that the ral-ly participants were either young [children], college [students] or older retired people,” said Terry Lowman, a member of A Mid-Iowa Organizing Strategy. “One of the is-sues with climate change is that it is gradual enough that it’s difficult for one to personally see how things are changing.”
Yet some older people can tell there’s something different. Look at the photos of the North Pole over the last 40 years. It’s visibly different.
An environmental and social jus-tice group on campus called ActivUs participated in the event along with AMOS and Ames community members.
AMOS and ActivUs were in charge of organizing the rally on campus; they filled out a 350.org event planner, a website dedicated
to climate crisis activism that began the “Draw the Line” campaign, and reached out to those who might be interested in the event.
AMOS focused on the off-cam-pus community, while ActivUs fo-cused on recruiting students for the event.
Emails were sent to those in-volved with ActivUs, the graduate program in sustainable agriculture and Live Green.
“I was impressed by the turnout,” said Rivka Fidel, president of ActivUs. “We had more people come [to the rally] than sign up online.”
The Draw the Line rally is a na-tional event. Six protest rallies were held in Iowa and many environmental activist organizations such as Better Future Project, The Climate Reality Project, Energy Action Coalition and Friends of the Earth were partici-pants in “drawing the line” across the country.
Participants at the Iowa State rally held signs made the previous Thursday in Sloss House.
The signs each contained a line; when the protesters stood together, they’d connect their lines and liter-ally “draw the line” in protest against the pipeline, asking President Barack Obama to reject it.
Some of the signs had slogans like “Pipelines Always Spill,” “Jobs for Clean Energy, Not For Dirty Oil,” “KXL Equals Xtra Bad” and “Climate Justice.”
“President Obama said he would not approve the Keystone XL pipeline if it would significantly impact the climate, but he still has not rejected it outright,” Fidel said in ISU’s ‘Draw the Line’ press release. “Research shows that burning the tar sands oil will result in 0.7 degrees Fahrenheit (0.4 degrees Celsius) of warming. So the science is clear. It’s time for Obama to draw the line on KXL and say ‘no.’”
The protesters caught the eyes of some onlookers.
“Occasionally someone would come along and ask a question, at which point a few of us would break off to start a more serious discus-sion,” Fidel said. “We were surprised that some passerby did not know what the Keystone XL pipeline was.”
Opposition for the Keystone XL pipeline concurs with most of what was voiced at Saturday’s rally. Those opposed are mainly concerned with climate change as the result of burn-ing oil and its greenhouse gas emis-sions and the potential for envi-ronmental disasters with a pipeline running straight through the United States.
Those encouraging the pipeline’s construction are arguing it will, ac-cording to Keystone XL Pipeline web-site, “bring essential infrastructure to North American oil producers ... provide jobs, long-term energy inde-pendence and an economic boost to Americans.”

“[Gov. Branstad] did so be-cause proclamations are a way to highlight particular issues and promote particular items,” said Tim Albrecht, communications director for Branstad. “The gov-ernor thought this was a really important issue to make sure we recognize the important con-tributions the deaf community makes on behalf of the people of Iowa.”
Iowa is home to 307,400 to 430,300 deaf or hard of hearing people. The large range of ap-proximation is due to some deaf citizens’ hesitance to share they are deaf on the census, Vizzini said.
In alliance with National Association of the Deaf and the World Federation of the Deaf, the week is focused on raising awareness of the deaf commu-nity’s contributions to the state of Iowa, as well as informing the public of struggles they face.
Vizzini communicated with the Daily via video phone service with an interpreter.
“Some deaf people do feel intimidated … because [be-ing deaf] seems to be a negative thing,” Vizzini said. “[They] feel inferior.”
Because of this, Vizzini said the estimate as to how many deaf students attend Iowa State might be more than recorded.
Steve Moats, director of Student Disability Resources, said Iowa State works with ap-proximately six students who use sign language and use a live cer-tified sign language interpreter in class.
Vizzini said he would esti-mate about 10 or 12 deaf or hard of hearing ISU students who have not identified themselves.
“They don’t want to tell the disability office that they’re deaf or hard of hearing …because they don’t want that identity … so they get left out of the count,” Vizzini said.
However, Student Disability Resources does offer resources to deaf and hard of hearing stu-dents, including providing certi-fied interpreters, captionists and working with professors.
“Certainly they have a dif-ferent learning experience than a hearing student does,” Moats said. “The accommodations that we provide help them participate and access the course materials.”
Iowa State works with agen-cies in the area to contract ser-vices from certified interpreters. Interpreters attend classes with
the student and any meeting that would require assistance.
“Our office exists to assist students and their professors,” Moats said. “We’re here as a re-source to them.”
Student Disability Resources employs only one interpreter on staff, Jonathan Webb, but he is only an interpreter 40 per-cent of the time. He is also a lecturer teaching American Sign Language classes in the world languages and cultures department.
“American Sign Language is not used much in Iowa. It kind of feels like Iowa is a little behind the time,” Vizzini said. “We need more interpreters in Iowa.”
Vizzini said the Iowa School for the Deaf is dwindling in num-bers because the public schools are starting to include interpret-ers, which encourages deaf stu-dents to attend public schools.
“They think throwing an interpreter in the classroom is enough, but really it is a weak system,” Vizzini said. “We need to bring up the quality of our inter-preters for our children.”
Although students who are deaf may learn a bit differently than a hearing student might, Moats said they are equally as capable.
“Students who are deaf or hard of hearing can major in anything that any other student does,” Moats said.
Vizzini said some of the main concerns for the deaf community is equality in the work place and the need for quality interpreters in the legal and school systems.
Though both Vizzini and his wife are deaf, all of their chil-dren can hear. The oldest of their kids is a certified American Sign Language interpreter in North
Carolina.Vizzini said when he informs
people his children can hear, the usual response is one of a shocked, “Oh, how wonderful.”
He said the public just does not understand deaf people can do just about everything people who are able to hear can.
“I’m proud to be deaf. And I encourage children to be proud of our deafness,” Vizzini said. “[I want] to tell them we can be very successful.”
providing them with more training and a better understanding of their positions within the organisation.
“The retreat’s a way to get everyone on the same page, educate them about GSB so that they can in turn go out to their constituents and then inform their con-stituents about how we impact their expe-rience here at Iowa State,” Bauer said.
A total of 34 senators and cabinet members attended the retreat. GSB’s four advisors were also present.
At the retreat, all members of GSB participated in leadership activities. GSB Financial Director Daniel Rediske taught
members about GSB’s finances. Bauer led a session about public relations and inter-net etiquette.
Members of the legislative branch also attended sessions on writing bills, parliamentary procedures, outreach pro-grams, university committees and stand-ing senate committees. These training sessions were led by leaders within the senate including Bauer, Kletscher, Speaker Gabrielle Williams and Vice Speaker Barry Snell.
In addition to the educational aspect, another goal of this retreat was to bring all members of the government together and have them work as a team.
Members participated in team-build-
ing exercises, learned about the roles of other GSB members of and determined strengths and weaknesses within the government.
During their last meeting, the student senate seated eight new senators. Senators generally go through a short training af-ter they are seated. This retreat provided a more extensive education for these new members.
Hamad Abbas, one of the new sena-tors, attended the retreat and said he feels more prepared as a senator and ready to reach out to his constituents in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
“I am more confident moving forward as a senator,” Abbas said.
Following the retreat, feedback sur-veys were filled out by those in attendance. These surveys showed that many senators attended the retreat hoping to learn about the internal workings of GSB and outreach efforts.
After the retreat, senators said they felt that they had a stronger connec-tion to GSB and their concerns had been addressed.
In a follow-up e-mail Bauer expressed that he felt the retreat went very well for the organization.
“With the outcomes of today’s retreat, GSB will function more effectively, which will help us serve students better,” Bauer said.

Besides the legends of the
MU, there are the stories of cur-rent and past students.
Each generation of students has had their share of experienc-es, from the dime dances in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, to the early days of the Maintenance Shop in the 1970s to the piranhas who
called the Fountain of the Four Seasons home.
There was the time during a summer late-night show at the M-Shop which featured a live horse being brought up on stage as part of a comedy gag.
“The MU is more than a
building; it’s a place where peo-ple have an emotional connec-tion to,” Reynolds said. “Alum always talk about the look, smell and they always feel safe here … it’s an experience, a home they are always comfortable at.”
To commemorate the anni-
versary, the Memorial Union will hold its annual chili supper from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Sun Room.
Members of the MU also plan on holding other celebra-tions throughout the academic year.

The Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication has officially announced that they will be offering a public relations degree available for undergraduates.
For more than 40 years, the Greenlee School has been pre-paring public relations profes-sionals through coursework and internships, but has not offered any sort of public relations major or minor.
“There’s a demand for this knowledge in society,” said Suman Lee, professor of jour-nalism and mass communica-tion and author of the “Public Relations Proposal.”
The school has decided to of-
fer a public relations degree due to the increasingly high demand for public relations professionals in the national workforce.
According to Iowa Workforce Development, in 2012 the em-ployment growth for public re-lations specialists in the state is expected to increase about 21 percent between 2008 [2,217 jobs] and 2018 [2,676 jobs].
With the entrance of the public relations major, Iowa State will be able to provide students interested in public relations the opportunity to obtain a separate degree in public relations instead of a major in journalism and mass communication.
Students in the Greenlee School are already actively in-volved in public relations course-work even though the school
does not offer a public relations degree.
Since 1996, an average of 140 students actively take core classes in public relations on an annual basis. These figures contribute to about 32 percent of the total number of under-graduate majors at the Greenlee School, reported in the Iowa State University Public Relations Degree Proposal.
The proposal also stated that the public relations program will focus on the theories and meth-ods for building relationships be-tween an organization or entity and the general public.
The major will prepare stu-dents to function as managers and technicians working for cor-porations, not-for-profit organi-zations and the government.
The profession of public re-lations is a doorway for students who are interested in a very di-verse field of work, a public rela-tions professional is not just lim-ited to a desk.
“The public relations pro-fession is very universal; you can apply it to healthcare, engi-neering and business,” said Erin Wilgenbusch, senior lecturer and Public Relations Student Society of America faculty advisor.
To prepare for these posi-tions, students can enroll in coursework similar to that of the journalism major.
These courses will focus on developing skills that will allow them to become public relations practitioners skilled in public re-lations theory, strategy, practice and ethics.
Public relations courses, which are similar to the journal-ism courses, will be taught pri-marily in the Greenlee School’s classrooms.
The school has 29 faculty members that have already been teaching public relations courses, so there is no need to hire more instructors.
The coursework instructors will not change, as they have al-ready been teaching the classes already.
“We have many faculty that have expertise in the area of pub-lic relations,” said Wilgenbusch.
Students interested in the public relations major will be able to switch or pick up a dou-ble-major Tuesday at the next Public Relations Student Society of America meeting.
Opera house reopens in Iowa Falls, Jackman gives speech
Public relations major becomes own entity
>>GSB p1
The Iowa Falls Metropolitan Opera House reopened after being closed since May this past Saturday where Oscar-nominated actor Hugh Jackman visited in promotion of his latest films.
Home to 5,000 residents, Iowa Falls fi-nally got to see the hallmark of their town restored. Built in 1899, the Opera House was renovated through the summer of 2013 by new owner John Whitesell.
Falling into disrepair after its 1993 renovation, Whitesell, a retired attorney, felt the need to save the historic building from bankruptcy. After purchasing it in May, Whitesell updated the theatre by add-ing two new digital projectors, heating, air conditioning and electrical wiring.
“I’m hoping that people come, en-joy it, and actually have the experience of going to a little theatre. Multiplexes are wonderful, but these small town theatres are gems,” Whitesell said, who spent more than $500,000 in its restoration.
Prominent member of the town at the time, Eugene S. Ellsworth commissioned the Opera House. Three stories tall, the building consists of a ballroom, two movie theaters, beautiful stained glass and an original mural.
Mark Hamilton is the publicist for the theatre and is the son of Carl Hamilton, the namesake of ISU’s Hamilton Hall.Carl Hamilton was Vice President for Information and Development for 17 years after he served as the head of the Greenlee School, then known as Iowa State’s Technical Journalism school, and
University Relations.The opera house is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places. Once host to John Phillip Sousa and Walker Whiteside back in its hay day, Hugh Jackman makes for a notable addition to the list of stars.
Jackman heard about the event through Whitesell’s son, Patrick Whitesell, who is his agent in the United States as well as the agent to many A-list actors in-cluding Matt Damon, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck.
Jackman visited as part of his pro-motional tour for his newest movies, “Prisoners” and “Wolverine.” Both films
were screened at the event followed by a speech from Jackman.
“My agent Patrick and his father who have done this have created one of the best cinemas now in the states,” Jackman said. “It’s state-of-the-art. It’s the centerpiece again for family and community to come together and it’s just a good story and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”
The public had two options for ob-taining a seat in the theatre and a spot on the red carpet. Raffle tickets went on sale a week prior to the big day. Additionally, tick-
ets that were $100 sold out in 35 minutes $21,000 in proceeds went to Ellsworth
Municipal Hospital in Hardin County, according to Mark Hamilton. Receiving no tax support, the hospital relies on its community and the Ellsworth Municipal Hospital Foundation for funds. The the-atre’s reopening supported the purchase of patient equipment.
Whitesell and Jackman share the hope that the Metropolitan Opera House will serve as a spot for entertainment for the community to enjoy for years to come.

These first few weeks of the fall semester have been bursting with
pleasantly sunny weather (aside from those searing hot days). Unfortunately, the consequence of this is the free speech zone again becoming a stomping ground for charlatans and pamphleteers. It is some-what comical to witness bystanders and passersby running the gauntlet of clipboard-holders and outstretched hands. What is not comical is the sermon-on-the-mount fellow stalk-ing in the shadows, wield-ing his bookmarked Bible, ready to pounce on the first of the doubters.
I write not to discuss my own beliefs, but some-thing must be said of the ongoing social capitulation to these dogmatists haunt-ing our free speech zone.
I often listen to the religious debates outside of the library, and like most students, don’t quarrel with the preachers or their opposition.
Perhaps it is noncha-lance, embarrassment or maybe even a subtler form of appeasement that forces our silence.
Nonetheless, the merits of any particular religious belief can be debated exhaustively, and is often not limited to shouting matches. I don’t wish to critique any single person, but passing judgment onto others and purging the world of “sodomy” is too often cloaked in the socially acceptable clothing of “do-ing God’s work.” Why not allow your god to do the judging and end your sur-rogate status?
Credulity too often yields to people claim-ing to have God on their side (withholding truths unavailable to me, appar-ently). I say we replace these hucksters with a true arguer, like Socrates, whose reasoning did not solely rely upon divine grace.
The moral and ethi-cal foundations of society need to be routinely shaken and criticized to test their current worth. Who better to do so than one who fol-lows the Socratic method? Reasoning on this level does not attempt to instill guilt but instead strives more thoroughly for truth.
I am reminded of an el-oquent quote by Karl Marx: “Criticism has plucked the
imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or consolation, but so that he shall throw off the chain and cull the living flower.”
Whether Socrates existed or not is not my main concern. Evidence of his existence is about as loose as the existence of Jesus Christ. However, what we gain from Socrates is of much greater value to us than the Sermon on the Mount. The story of Socrates teaches us to think for ourselves and to challenge the norm, not to follow him or risk eternal damnation.
This is, in essence, Marx’s idea. In effect, humans operate under illu-sions (more acutely, a state of narcissism) when there is an absence of criticism. When criticism is applied, and reasoning well devel-oped, the oppressed mind becomes disillusioned – hu-mans shake free from what William Blake called the “Mind-forg’d Manacles.”
There is something about the stimulation of critical thinking, in a public sense, which keeps us humble. It is in eliminat-ing the contradictions of our beliefs that the Socratic method allows for the vigor of honesty and frankness. The men roaming the free
speech zone at noon, I con-tend, do not even allow for the same result.
Absurdly, the proposi-tions put forth by the reli-gious gain robustness when backed by a quote from the Bible. Again, this is allowed by somewhat of a social acceptance. Closer scrutiny reveals what we’re asked to believe, and the concluded logic perceived by many opposed is, “Indeed, what I say is true for it was written in the Bible, and the Bible is true because I say it is true.” In the spirit of the Socratic method, I find this to be a contemptible position and unworthy of public discourse.
A most honorable position is to admit one’s own ignorance, which is precisely what Socrates, af-ter working his way through a logical maze, concluded, “I am the wisest man, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.”
Indeed, it is arrogant to claim superiority in the realm of truth, and it is a betrayal of the mind to blindly accept the poisoned chalice offered. Let’s instead replace the preachers at the free speech zone with Socratic warriors. Wielding our reason, we may march forth “to mount the scaf-fold” and “advance to the muzzles of guns with per-fect nonchalance.”
We are born and passed from hands to hands until we curl into our mothers’ arms.
Once home, we are given a crib, toys, plentiful sustenance, and a roof under which to live. In our childhood, years of youth and our sour teenage era, we are sustained and loved by our parents (or guardians). Eventually, the majority of us are sent off to college with, if not financial support, the well-wishes of our families. We gradu-ate and marry and have children of our own and one day, our parents are old and frail.
Our parents are the single most important thing in our lives until the day we move out. A report done by CNN last month claimed that the average cost of raising a single child is $241,080. So, if not for the emotion and effort, we owe our parents for the simple money spent on us.
However, by then we are too busy and important to take care of those who raised us. Whether they reside in their own homes, nursing homes or our spare rooms, we neglect to give them the love and attention they deserve.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that depression is “not a normal part of aging.” Yet their need to state that tells us that
the assumption exists. The CDC does say that elderly are at a larger risk for depression, as it’s a common accom-panying condition to those with other medical problems. Of all older people, 80 percent have at least one chronic health condition, making the elderly particularly at risk.
Studies also show that not only is depression a ride-along condition to other health problems, it often creates those problems. According to PsychCentral, depression increases risk of cardiac disease.
Studies on how many elderly people are depressed are inconclu-sive, as some say as little as 5 percent while others claim up to 13 percent.
Depression in the elderly may be treated in much the same way it is for younger generations through therapy or medication. However, a key ele-ment in the elderly’s depression that doesn’t exist to the same extent in younger people is loneliness.
Most people diagnosed with depression feel that they are isolated in some way or another. Whether liv-ing alone or constantly surrounded by family, depressed people feel irratio-nal sadness and loneliness in a way non-depressed people have a hard time imagining.
However, for the elderly, that iso-lation is very real and very saddening.
As you age, those dreams of “tomorrow” are less and less likely to be achieved. Your friends and family become too busy or too physically distant to be much comfort to you, and some of your elderly peers may start passing on before you. Imagine the loneliness of being in the last group in your generation.
Of course, our youthful genera-tion really is quite busy. But that isn’t an excuse for neglecting those to whom we owe the most. I’m not say-ing that every child should move their parents into their guest room perma-nently. Not only is it not financially feasible, it’s emotionally taxing for the child.
However, physical distance is no excuse for emotional distance. When running a life of your own, it can take you across the globe. Luckily, we have a myriad of forms of communication that only improve with each passing year. Call your dad. Skype your mom. Do whatever it takes to make them feel as cared for and loved as you did when you were 8 years old.
Though some of us in col-lege have parents as young as 40, most are nearing their 50s or 60s. Unfortunately, those numbers only increase. The best time to begin a connection that spans a lifetime is now. That physical distance that sepa-rates parent and child often first ap-pears in college. Even if you are self-sustained, individual and proud of it, there’s no need to distance yourself from a mom and dad who probably miss you more than they can say.
It may not be a direct effect of aging, but depression is prevalent in the elderly. Whether that’s for chemi-cal reasons or for lack of emotional support, it’s hard to say. But the least you can do for your parents, grand-parents, guardians or whoever looked after you is to make sure that they are doing all right, too.
They loved us, raised us, spent countless years on us. We have quite the debt to repay.

Editorial
We all have that friend, the one who can speak more than one language fluently. We gather around them and prod them over and over to teach us a word here and there, usually of an inappropriate nature.
But while we’re gloating over the new-est addition to our foreign vocabulary, that friend is most likely going to out-compete us for a future job.
Learning a second language is more important than ever when it comes to being able to compete in today’s global market. Unfortunately, students at Iowa State are not being pushed hard enough to take foreign language courses.
According to Iowa State’s foreign lan-guage study page online, students in Liberal Arts and Sciences, elementary education and early childhood education are “re-quired to complete one year of college-level foreign language or its equivalent in order to graduate.”
This can be achieved through tak-ing three years of foreign language in high school, taking a college level foreign lan-guage course at another college, through an exam such as the CLEP test, or by passing a foreign language course at Iowa State.
Engineering students are required to have at least two years of foreign language study in high school or they must take college-level foreign language classes.
However, when it comes to all other students, Iowa State’s foreign language study page states that they are “strongly encour-aged to develop foreign language skills.”
Though these requirements are a good start in getting students interested in a foreign language, they are not enough to prepare them to compete against interna-tional students that are fluent in multiple languages.
A 2012 Forbes article stated that as of 2010, only 18 percent of Americans were able to speak a language other than English. At the same time, 53 percent of Europeans reported being able to speak a second language.
The Forbes article also reported that interest in foreign language studies was growing at the time, but finding consistent data on the number of bilingual Americans today is not easy.
Iowa State needs to increase its require-ments for all students to study foreign lan-guages or other ways to communicate such as with sign language. Doing so will increase ISU graduates’ competitiveness in today’s global job market.
Communication is a major factor of any job and is not linked to just one or two majors. The more ways that an individual is capable of communicating, the stronger candidate for a job they will be. The use of technology is also changing today’s soci-ety and moving the world toward a shared global community, where you encounter numerous languages and cultures everytime you use your computer or smartphone.
Iowa State offers courses in American sign language, Arabic, Chinese studies, French, German, Russian studies, Spanish and Classical studies such as Latin and Ancient Greek. Any one of these languages can offer students a leg up in getting that perfect job.
Whether Iowa State requires more foreign language studies in the future or not, students should not short themselves on the opportunity to improve their own skills and job opportunities. Such classes are open to all students and the longer you wait to try and learn another language, the harder it will be.
It may seem that learning another language isn’t necessary since English is considered to be the number one foreign language taught around the world. However, it is only the third most common native language in the world behind Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.
That a large majority of the world is capable of speaking English is no excuse to not expand your abilities to communicate. Americans are now not only competing for a future job with someone that lives down the street but also against someone that lives halfway around the globe.
From the corner of my eye, I can see the outline of the caterpillar bus tumbling
down the road toward the bus stop where my feet are cur-rently glued. I swallow, clutch the tiny map in my hands and twist as the bus screeches to a halt in front of my post. Today is my first day as an Iowa State Cyclone, and I am having dif-ficulty settling the huge knot of butterflies in my stomach. I take a deep breath, disconnect my feet from their spot on the concrete and board the bus.
Existing as a student at a big university, it is easy to feel like you are a nobody in the midst of a crowd. An important
part of the college experience is discovering how to stand on your own two feet. No matter if you are currently attending Iowa State and loving every moment, or you are planning to transfer to somewhere less populated, here are some ideas from someone who has the low-down on big colleges versus small colleges.
First up: the small-college experience.
In lecture halls of at least three hundred people, it is nearly impossible to get that one-on-one relationship with the instructors, and even more difficult to get to know your classmates. That was one oppor-tunity I loved in small colleges: you could actually get to know the professors and a majority of your classmates. If you are having difficulty in a class, have no fear! You can easily walk from the dorms across campus, assuming class times were over, and receive the answers to your questions within ten minutes.
The financial aspect of going to a small college has
its benefits as well. Financial-aid offices are often quick to respond and act when it comes to important documents such as students’ Free Application for Federal Student Aid and scholar-ship statuses. Although many smaller private schools’ tuition costs are higher, often multiple specialized scholarships are of-fered that bring costs below that of big universities.
Though there are many benefits to going to a smaller college, there are many disad-vantages as well. Small or private colleges often have as much as 90 percent of the student body in the dorms or other on-campus housing. While everyone may be close-knit after a few weeks, it makes it difficult for the off-campus students to find a place to fit in with dorm dwellers.
Often in smaller colleges there are fewer majors to choose from, so if you switch majors after a year, you may end up having to transfer to a different school where your field of study is offered.
Next, large universities.The number one thing that
caught my attention at Iowa State was how many opportuni-ties to get involved there were all over campus compared to my previous college.
For example, ClubFest, an annual event, hosts countless clubs that closely apply to your major in just about any way you thought possible.
If you want to learn to swing dance, there is a pretty good chance that there is club you can join. Internship opportunities fly around the college’s CyMail like tiny digital roadrunners.
Even part-time job op-portunities that play as “mini” versions of your future “big kid” job are endless.
Another huge advantage to large universities are the majors they offer. If you start with a major in physics but then decide that a business degree is more up your alley, you can switch majors without putting yourself through the tedious process of transferring schools.
There are also more hands-on experiences at big colleges, not to mention the scholarships and grants a person can apply for are practically limitless, help-ing with the semester costs.
There are so many great people with whom to meet and network; the more people you know, the better the chance of gaining unique opportunities in your field of work in the future.
Most likely the majority of people reading this article are already Iowa State Cyclones.
I absolutely love the big campus vibe, the bustle, the people and the opportunities that arise, so get up and take advantage of the opportunities presented to you!
Get involved with the campus clubs and apply for that study-abroad internship you have been looking at but haven’t mustered up the courage to apply for. During your time at Iowa State, go all out and enjoy it! After all, learning to stand on your own two feet is a big part of what college is all about.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Nine times.That’s the number of consecutive
wins the ISU volleyball team has against the University of Iowa. The No. 25 Cyclones kept their streak alive Saturday, when they beat the Hawkeyes 3-1 in Iowa City.
“I don’t think we really try to think about the rivalry, but you hear about it so much throughout the week,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “But then it does feel like there is a lot more to it. You feel a little bit of that pressure, but we try not to make it more than it is. We still have to play well.”
Iowa State (6-4) came out firing in
the first set. It jumped to an early 7-1 lead against Iowa, and ISU sophomore hitter Mackenzie Bigbee had seven of her 16 to-tal kills in that set.
The Cyclones won the first game 25-11.
“We just wanted to come in and play hard and execute on our side,” said libero Kristen Hahn. “We knew we could serve them off the court, and that’s what we did in the first set.”
But the Hawkeyes responded and ral-lied late in game two, taking advantage of ISU errors. Iowa State fell in that set 29-27.
“They played incredible defense that set,” Hahn said. “They really matched us, and we stayed the same. We didn’t get up there where we needed to be.”
The third set was more of the same story. Iowa had control of the set in the be-ginning, going on some serious runs early.
“It is what it is. You can either be fine with it, or you can get mad and fight,” Bigbee said. “Everyone decided then that we weren’t going to settle and we just fought through it.”
The Cyclones rallied from behind to win the third set 25-23, and Bigbee added five more kills to seal the third-set victory.
Bigbee dominated in the fourth set and went on an eight-point service rally.The Williamsburg, Iowa, native has had very little serving experience at the colle-giate level but made an impression with her back-row play.
“We’ve been experimenting with her
serving a little in practice, and I’ve really been impressed with what she’s been able to do,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She has very little experience back there, but she came up big time tonight.”
Iowa State took the fourth set 25-20, and won the match 3-1. The Cyclones haven’t had a loss to the Hawkeyes since 1997 and are leading the all-time series 25-21.
The Cyclones will enter Big 12 play next week when they host Baylor at home.
“We can see little glimpses of bril-liance out there,” Hahn said. “But we need to keep working hard and make sure that we can play consistently, so we can beat the teams we need to and beat them in three sets.”

ISU defeats UNI, Jobe breaks school record for career shutouts
WATERLOO, Iowa — A chilly, windy evening is not a goalkeeper’s best friend. The least mobile posi-tion on the field struggles to keep warm as she waits for a wind-aided, boomerang-like shot to drift past her.
ISU goalkeeper Maddie Jobe never had that nightmarish sce-nario play out as she walked off the field Friday with a 2-0 win against Northern Iowa. The senior did not even record a save as the Panthers never fired a shot.
No matter the circumstances, Jobe etched herself in the Cyclone record books with her 17th career shutout, passing Ann Gleason for the school record.
“It’s cool, it’s a cool feeling,” Jobe said. “It’s nice to know I’ve done something here. It’s an accomplish-ment for me and I’m really happy about it.”
In a game controlled by the ISU offense for much of the first half and chunks of the second half, Jobe was often the only player on her half of the field.
The defensive line played so far up that Iowa State defender Kourtney Camy was able to rip a shot from more than 30 yards out that hit the back of the net for her first goal of the season.
Defender Jessica Reyes had her shot blocked by the UNI goalkeeper, but added an assist off a corner kick in the first half.
“All they do is run back and forth and play both offense and de-fense,” said forward Koree Willer of the defense. “I give huge credit to them. They are the reason for a lot of our chances.”
Willer recorded a goal of her
own off Reyes’ corner kick. As the ball crossed the field, it deflected off a Panther defender right at Willer’s feet as she tapped it in from point-blank range.
The goal may not have been as difficult as her other two goals this season, but it was a little sweeter as the freshman celebrated her 19th birthday on the same day.
“It feels great,” Willer said. “I couldn’t have asked for anything better on my birthday.”
Lost in the record-breaking and birthday performance head-lines was Iowa State’s unblemished record against Northern Iowa. The Cyclones walked away with their ninth program win against the Panthers with no losses.
The seniors left Waterloo with a 3-0 record against Northern Iowa in their careers. As Jobe and Reyes left their mark for the final time against the Panthers, the freshmen left the
biggest impact according to ISU coach Wendy Dillinger.
Both goals scored against the Panthers were by freshmen and the end of the second half saw a very young Cyclone lineup. Dillinger sees the freshmen as keys to success heading into Big 12 play Friday.
As for the importance of the win, it took only one look at the Cyclone sideline to see smiling faces and sighs of relief.
“We needed this win,” Dillinger said. “This game was big, just being in the state with the rivalry. I thought [Northern Iowa] came out and gave us some trouble in the second half, but we stayed composed.”
Scott Fernandez and the ISU men’s golf team return to a course and tournament where they have achieved past success.
On Sept. 23 and 24, the Cyclones are set to tee-up at the VCU Shootout at Hermitage Country Club in Manakin-Sabot, Va.
“It was really spe-cial for me; it was my first [collegiate] victory,” said Fernandez of his 2011 VCU shootout win. “It’s always nice to go back and get the title back again.”
His win led the team to a fourth-place finish, and came on the heels of anoth-er win in 2010 by former ISU golfer, Nate McCoy.
Fernandez also finished second in 2012 en route to a fifth-place finish for the team.
He attributes much of his success at the VCU Shootout to how the course’s tree-lined fairways set up fa-vorably for him to drive off the tee, the self-proclaimed strength of his game.
“I’m really comfortable with courses with trees. I see my shot off the tee better than a course where there’s just nothing,” Fernandez said. “The ball’s never going to roll, it’s just going to stick on the fairways if it’s wet. That’s why it’s important to hit it well off the tee.”
Factors relating to tee-ing off will not be the only concern, as Hermitage’s dis-tinctive greens could pro-vide a challenge.
“The greens really make the course,” said ISU coach Andrew Tank. “They can get pretty quick and they’ve got some undulation to them.
It’s really important to leave your ball in the right spot.”
The starting lineup set to face these difficult greens is nearly the same as last week’s lineup that took sec-ond place at the Columbia Regional Preview.
The quartet of freshmen Ruben Sondjaja and Nick Voke, along with juniors Sam Daley and Scott Fernandez has made up four of the five starting spots in every tour-nament this year.
The fifth starting spot has been in flux, with Zach Steffen and Blake Waller fill-ing the void in the team’s first two tournaments.
This week, a playoff during Sunday’s practice round between Jack Carter and Collin Foster will deter-mine the fifth spot, as well as who will compete solely as an individual.
Foster, a redshirt sopho-more, has one tournament under his belt this year, fin-ishing tied for 60th place at the Columbia Regional Preview.
Carter, a freshman, will be competing in his first collegiate tournament if he wins the playoff.
The VCU Shootout will complete a stretch that fea-tures three tournaments in three weeks. Preparation for this week’s event has been lighter than in weeks past.
“We gave the guys [Wednesday] off when we got back from Missouri. Thursday and Friday of this week, it’s been pretty re-laxed. They’ve just kind of come out here when they’ve wanted to and stay as long as they want,” Tank said. “We start off really strong so now we’re giving them a little bit more freedom and then we’ll be able to take some time off

Women’s golf finish third at invitational
After fighting back from its first team round of 297 and a second team round of 292, the ISU women’s golf team finished third at the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M., on Saturday.
Sophomore Cajsa Persson led the squad and finished in a tie for seventh place with a total score of 218. She hit a three-un-der round of 70 in the third round to obtain the fourth top-10 finish of her career.
“I was satisfied with the re-sult,” Persson said. “The course was good and I made a lot of birdies.”
ISU coach Christie Martens said the Cyclones made some really good adjustments to firm greens with deep rough.
Iowa State felt it accom-plished its goal of one team round under par in the final round of the Invitational.
“We are pleased with the start of the season,” Martens said. “I was proud of Cajsa for finish-ing in the top-10 again and of our seniors’ fight.”
Seniors Prima Thammaraks and Sasikarn On-iam also fin-ished with rounds under par. Thammaraks was tied for the lead after the first round and shot a one-under round of 72 to place 10th with an overall score of 219. On-iam shot a two-under round of 71 in the last round to put her in a tie for 11th place with a total score of 220.
“We played pretty good,” On-iam said. “Every time I looked back on the course, I saw my teammates working hard.”
The Cyclones had an overall score of 878, and their five play-ers all finished in the top-50. Junior Chonlada Chayanun fin-ished tied for 27th and Freshman Carmen Vidau finished tied for 40th. Chayanun had an overall score of 225 and Vidau scored a
230.Pepperdine finished in first
place with a team score of 865 with one player finishing in sec-
ond place and another who tied for third. Oregon earned second place with a team score 877, one better than Iowa State’s total.
The ISU women’s golf team will pick the season back up on Sept. 30 in Evanston, Ill., at the Windy City Collegiate Classic.
Cyclone hockey fell be-hind early to the Huntsville Havoc in both games of its weekend series before rebounding to pick up 7-3 and 14-2 wins, moving the team to 4-0-0 on the young season.
“I don’t want it to be a habit that we let the oppo-nent get out to a lead,” said ISU coach Al Murdoch. “There are going to be some down the road that will keep it rolling, but they are unfazed by it so that’s a good sign.”
Iowa State was able to get goals from 12 different players during the week-end series, including two goal performances from Mark Huber and Chris Cucullu and a hat trick on Saturday night from Austin Parle that scored three goals.
The depth that the
Cyclones were able to show throughout the weekend is something that impressed Murdoch.
“It is a good reflec-tion on our staff and our director of recruiting Eric Tofte,” Murdoch said. “He has done a tremendous job of finding us the best stu-dents as well as best hock-ey players.”
Parle was able to pick up his first three goals of the year on Saturday night. The sophomore forward thinks the depth Iowa State is developing now will be huge down the road.
“You need depth to make a playoff run,” Parle said. “It is huge for a cham-pionship team to have depth throughout, so this is good.”
Cucullu, who made his first goal of the season on Friday then followed that performance will two third period goals on Saturday, says he has known of the
team’s depth for quite some time.
“I knew when we played our first game that we would have a well-rounded team,” Cucullu said. “If there is a game where the big guys aren’t stepping up, we have peo-ple to fill in and put the puck in the net.”
Iowa State was able to start two different goal-tenders, Matt Cooper on Friday and Scott Ismond on Saturday, during the
weekend series.“We have a ton of
confidence in our goalies right now,” Cucullu said. “A championship team starts in the net and those guys are playing very well.”
Iowa State was able to go 4 of 11 on the weekend during power play chances. Parle thinks that is a place
the Cyclones need to fo-cus during this week of practice.
“We need to get better on our special teams and power plays,” Parle said.
“We just have to get better with the little things and develop our lines.”

Saturday night Iowa State sophomore forward Austin Parle was able to pick up a hat trick on two first period goals and one in the second period.
The hat trick was Parle’s first as a Cyclone.
“We were just doing the right things and the puck was going in,” Parle said. “I have to give a lot of
credit to my line-mates they drive the net and get me the goals.”
Coach Al Murdoch was very impressed with the play of Parle.
“He is playing very hard, he is working hard,” Murdoch said. “He had mono last year so just think what he can do with a whole season.”

Impressing potential employers and co-workers is becoming ever more important in today’s tight job mar-ket, where taking every chance you can get to snag a job is a high priority.
Besides perfecting your resume and practicing your handshake, covering up tattoos and piercings is some-thing to consider when looking to get into the working world.
A key concept to think about before getting inked is doing research and thinking of what career path your fu-ture could hold.
“We tell students that come in who would want a visible tattoo to ask people in your career industry the policies before you get a tattoo,” said Berry Schnetter, ISU graduate and current tattoo artist at Asylum Tattoo Parlor. “Police officers, lawyers and doctors are common fields where they won’t let you have visible tattoos.”
Although a bad tattoo mistake can be covered with makeup or clothing, going through a laser removal pro-cess can be extremely painful and costly.
“People really need to do their research and make sure that a tattoo is something that they really want,” Schnetter said. “Young kids sometimes don’t think about the implications.”
If you already have a tattoo and are in the process of researching companies to work for, finding their specific guidelines is helpful, especially in knowing how to cover up for an interview.
“There can be a variety of opinions on tattoos de-pending on where you work,” said Taren Crow, program coordinator in Career Services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “Places where you work in the business of gaining people’s trust, you may need to be on the con-servative side when it comes to tattoos and piercings.”
Sara Roggemann, ISU graduate who now works as a technical services associate at Cargill Kitchen Solutions chose to get her tattoo on her ankle, in a spot that would not be visible in a work environment.
“At the time I got my tattoo, I worked for a com-pany with a ‘no visible tattoos’ policy. I specifically got mine where I did so I wouldn’t have to worry about it,” Roggemann said. “I didn’t want my tattoo to be a concern for me in my professional life.”
If you are passionate about getting a tattoo, it may be advised to wait until you are well-established in your ca-reer, or to not get anything done below the wrist.
“We call it ‘job stoppers’ when people get something done on their knuckles,” Schnetter said. “Most people are pretty cautious to not get anything done below the wrist.”
In the ISU community, students are pretty willing to cover up their tattoos and piercings when attending ca-reer fairs or interviews.
“Students are very okay with taking out piercings and covering tattoos,” Crow said. “They do want to make sure they have every possible opportunity at a job and can make a good impression.”
Some fields that could have more lenient policies on tattoos and piercings include graphic design, athletics and fields in the art industry.
“Pay attention to when you are touring or talking to a business,” Crow said. “See how people are dressed and pay attention to the environment. Make connections, network and definitely look into the company’s policies and rules.”
Think before ink, know how to cover
Brian Achenbach/Iowa State DailyBe aware of a company’s tattoo policy before going to an in-terview. If possible, conceal your tattoos, especially any that may be offensive or inappropriate.

Career Fair Information
A well-thought out resume will get your foot in the door with a potential em-ployer but having a solid portfolio will re-inforce your experience and skills.
FormatThe first thing you need to do is de-
cide the format of your portfolio. Do you want it in a binder or online? If you decide to put it in a binder, Itoya portfolios are a good choice. They have a clean, classy look and are available in different sizes from 8.5-by-11 inches to 11-by-17 inches. They are free from acid, PVC and lignin, and they are archival safe. The University Book Store in the Memorial Union carries these portfolios in the art section.
If you have decided to do an online portfolio, either on its own or in addition to your binder portfolio, there are many websites to choose from to set them up. Using PowerPoint and putting your port-folio on a CD works as well. One of the most common sites to use to build an on-line portfolio is WordPress.
ContentThe first page of your portfolio
should contain your table of contents. No matter which medium you use for your portfolio, you want to make sure that it’s easy to navigate through. The next items should be a short statement of your per-sonal background and your resume. Make sure to include your social media contact information, which may already be in-cluded on your resume.
Employers don’t want to see every-thing you have ever done, but they do want to see some of your best work. Sort through your work samples and pick out 10 to 15 pieces that are either your best work or favorite pieces. For example, if there is a piece of work you’re proud of
or had a good time working on, include it. Use only final, finished products that are relevant to the position you’re apply-ing for. Including syllabusi from relevant classes will show the employer what you’ve learned.
DesignThe design of your portfolio is strictly
up to you because it should reflect your personality, but in a professional way. Make sure it is clean, appropriate and dis-plays your work in an eye-catching man-ner. Do not be afraid to use a little color in your background, but don’t go overboard. Take the time to layout or arrange your different pieces of work so that they re-flect the most relevant first.
If a piece needs to be explained or there is any information that needs to go with it, place it on a facing page. Whichever font you choose needs to be easy to read and keeping it at an 11- or 12-point font is your best bet. If you need to take up some space, using double-spacing is a good way to do that and it might even help your po-tential employer glance through things easier.
CritiquingAny time you get the opportunity to
have a professional critique your portfo-lio, do it. They can provide valuable feed-back and give you a few pointers others haven’t. It is also a good idea to have your peers critique it, too. As always, check for errors in your spelling and grammar.
UpdatingKeep your portfolio up to date at
all times. Once you’ve built it in the first place, removing and adding things shouldn’t take too long or be too much of a task. Each time you update it, have it cri-tiqued again. In fact, you could even ask someone if a piece you’re thinking of add-ing to your portfolio is a good idea before you do so.

Dressing for the career fairs can be just as nerve-wracking as actually at-tending them. It is known that employers pay attention to what students wear, and Career Services has some advice for stu-dents this fall.
Taren Crow, director of Career Services for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said they “invite students to wear business professional apparel.”
For men, Crow said, this means either a suit or dress pants with a button-down shirt and tie. She said khakis can be an acceptable option if the student does not own a suit.
For women, Crow recommended a suit as well, but said similar to men that dress pants and a nice top is also accept-able, as long as the top isn’t too low-cut or tight.
She also said women should focus on shoes that are professional and comfort-able. There are a lot of stairs at Hilton, and those stiletto heels may not be the best option.
In fact, Loni Pringnitz, director of career fairs in the College of Human Sciences, said to avoid stilettos altogether and said that women should avoid tight shirts and skirts.
“Students that are unprofessionally dressed stand out the most,” Pringnitz
said. “It is very easy to critique dress.”Crow also said students dressed un-
professionally are hurting their chances with employers, and one of the worst things she sees at the career fairs are tight skirts.
“[Students] think dressing up is like a Friday night, what you wear out with your friends,” Crow said.
For students who think their career fair attire is still missing something, Career Services had some advice.
Pringnitz said a staple item for stu-dents at the career fair is a padfolio or oth-er professional folder.
“One of the things we always look at is to tell students not to go to the career fair with their heavy backpacks,” Pringnitz said.
Crow said a suit is a staple item for students, recommending them to check JCPenney or Kohl’s for a price to fit their budget.
“It doesn’t have to be something super expensive,” Crow said.
Final advice from the two women was to take the career fair seriously.
“The more serious [students] take it, the more serious employers will take it,” Crow said.
Pringnitz has told students to take it seriously no matter what the reason is for attending.
“Even if you are required to go for a class, take it seriously,” Pringnitz said. “For first-year students, one of the main things we tell them to do is attend the career fair to get the experience. At that freshman level, it is about exploring and getting that experience.”
Dress classy, not trashy
Stand out with a portfolio
Wear the proper atire to impress future employers
Azwan Azhar/Iowa State DailyDo not attend the Career Fair in sweatpants or jeans. A suit is preferable, but if you don’t have one, other dress pants will suffice. For women, clothes that are not too clingy are a must.
Miranda Cantrell/Iowa State DailyChoosing the right materials for your portfolio can make it stand out. In this day and age, doing both a binder portfolio and digital portfolio is a good idea.
