The first ever ISU Fall Leadership Conference was held in the Memorial Union on Tuesday night.

The idea for the event started when Jennifer Nissen, program co-ordinator for leadership and service, talked to Catt Center for Women and Politics assistant director Julie Snyder-Yuly about the need to con-solidate student organizations.

“We discussed how there needed to be less of an overlap between orga-nizations, and we decided to put on an event that would be larger and more meaningful for anyone anywhere from a first-year student to a senior to a graduate student,” Nissen said.

Nissen and Snyder-Yuly recruited a group of 14 people from many differ-ent student organizations as well as

faculty to serve as the main commit-tee to help put the conference on.

One of the main duties the com-mittee worked on was creating five tracks for students to choose from. Members threw out different ideas and chose the five tracks based on appeal.

“We wanted this event to appeal to all students, so we chose something a little different. There’s some that ap-peal to freshmen, some that appeal to seniors, some that appeal to students in organizations, as well as students who want to make their organizations better,” Nissen said.

Students chose one out of five tracks to attend for the night.

“We wanted them to pick the one they felt they were most interested in so they could delve deeper into that

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told stu-dents Tuesday when he was a student at the University of Northern Iowa it was never on his mind to run for the U.S. Senate.

“I had a political career that just evolved that probably started with my mom and dad,” Grassley said.

“For one reason or another, my mom and dad were always talking about politics and history.”

Grassley, speaking in Steffen Schmidt’s political science course in Hoover Hall, said he first ran unsuccessfully for the Iowa legis-lature when he was only 23.

He was elected the second time he ran, running for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1974 and for the U.S. Senate in 1980 when he defeated Gov. Chet Culver’s father, John Culver.

During the hour-long class, Grassley field-ed a wide range of questions from students from immigration policy, legalizing marijua-na, the Cuban embargo, the expiring Bush tax-cuts and education reform, where the Iowa Republican had praise for President Barack Obama.

“I even heard one of his speeches and wrote him a personal note complimenting him on what he said,” Grassley said. “I don’t know if he ever read it, but I wrote it.”

Grassley was responding to a question about Obama advocating an extension to the

GreenHouse Group promotes recycling in residence halls

ISU student conference teaches leadership skillsBy Frances.Myers iowastatedaily.com

What began as a small ini-tiative to promote recycling in the residence halls has grown into a student organization known as GreenHouse Group.

“I was part of the be-ginning group, and it’s just amazing to see a project start from the beginning and go to end being successful,” said Allison Kraft, presi-dent of GreenHouse Group and junior in environmental science.

GHG started as a small group of recycling chairs in the residence halls two years ago. Originally, students were responsible for their own re-cycling and transporting it to the Ames Area Redemption Center, 1822 E. Lincoln Way.

“The recycling in the resi-dence halls used to be kind of chaotic,” said Molly Slattery, GHG vice president and se-nior in kinesiology and health.

The Department of Residence eventually decided that a centralized recycling program was needed, along with a group that would work on recycling and sustainabil-ity projects in the residence halls and on-campus hous-ing. So began the GreenHouse Group.

“[The DOR] felt the spark to start the recycling program when we did a trial before-hand, and in five weeks we re-cycled 15,000 pounds of mate-rial,” Slattery said.

This initial trial surprised many and led to questions of what the department as a whole could do in a unified fashion, Slattery said.

GHG strives not only to pursue a more recyclable resi-

dency on campus, but a sus-tainable one as well.

Last year during Veishea, the group made history as the first to initiate recycling at the event. Placing bins all over Central Campus, the group recycled 2,000 to 3,000 cans.

This year, the group is bringing RecycleMania Tournament to Iowa State for the first time. The tournament is a nationwide competition where colleges participate to see who can recycle the most. GHG is interested in the event in order to see where the ISU campus stands compared with other universities.

“Merry Rankin, [the program manager of Sustainability and adviser of GHG], has come and worked with our group and we are focused; we’re out of the residence halls and we’re fo-cused on the residence halls,” Slattery said. “We’re certainly not objected to offer guidance to other groups and then may-be working collaboratively in the future.”

GHG is planning events to get students involved this fall. It will be hosting a leaf-raking event Oct. 24 to promote the message of sustainability in a fun, fall-friendly way. The group will also be helping other green student organi-zations host a recycling event at Jack Trice Stadium, which will take place Oct. 30 dur-ing the Homecoming game against Kansas.

The nation has seen an alarming increase of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgen-der youth suicides, including Rutgers University freshman Tyler Clementi’s death last week. Colleges are trying to bring students’ attention to what is happening and help students understand issues surrounding the LGBT com-munity. Iowa State students are taking a stand, with the LGBT Ally Alliance and the Government of the Student Body promoting messages against this type of harass-ment. The LGBTAA hosted a vigil for Clementi Monday afternoon.

The GSB senate has de-cided to address the situation by sending out a school-wide message that harassment and bullying will not be tolerated at Iowa State. The National Campus Sustainability Day is creeping closer and the Green Umbrella hopes to encourage students to reduce their car-bon footprint.

The Green Umbrella works to give organizations a voice about sustainability and involve students and faculty to go green on campus and help the environment.

It hopes to gain $70 from

GSB to go toward printing and supplies in order to help students become aware of the upcoming day and help them find new ways to go green Descarga, the ISU Latin dance club, wants to host a salsa fes-tival open to all students for Latino Heritage Month.

The group wants to bring back ISU graduates to per-form, give lessons and host a social dance. For this to hap-pen, Descarga will need $450 for the event, which will cover the costs of instruction, trans-portation and advertising fees. Judo club is hoping to receive $27,480 for 240 new mats. The mats are becoming worn from the Judo, Hapkido and Taekwondo clubs using them. In order for these clubs to practice safely, they will need to replace the old mats. Each mat costs $108.

The ISU drill team hopes to attend a competition in Madison, Wis. It is requesting $195 to be allocated toward the entry fees.

track,” Nissen said.The five tracks this

year followed three main themes: moving in, moving up and moving on.

Lacey Miller, freshman in family finance, housing and policy, said she decided to sign up for the confer-ence because it would be a “good resume builder.”

Ben Britz, senior in mechanical engineering, said he felt the confer-ence would be good in “increasing my skill levels in leadership, talking to people and interpersonal relationships.”

This year’s conference had a turnout of approxi-mately 200. Students start-ed in interactive sessions then went to the Sun Room in the Memorial Union for dinner to listen to the student keynote speaker, Blake Hanson.

Hanson, junior in politi-cal science, spoke about the three main components

school year, and said the United States needs to look at why the country is falling behind in math, science and other areas.

“When you see Japanese students going to school on Saturday mornings and we don’t ... we think sports are more important than book learning, we think television is more impor-tant,” Grassley said.

He said most people agree, as Obama has said, a big part of education reform must include more parental involvement.

The senator said much of education policy is left up to the states except where federal money is involved, although it’s a small portion of any education budget.

“I would say, having voted for [No Child Left Behind], we have put education in too much of a straight-jacket,” Grassley said.

‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ and national securityAfter opposing moving forward on the de-

fense bill in September, which contained a pro-vision to repeal the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, he said he is waiting until a military review comes out after the election before deciding on

repealing the policy.“I’m waiting for that study to be done. I want

to know what the results are of the study and I want to know that before it changes,” Grassley said. “Does that change in policy affect the mission of the combat unit? That’s the basic question.”

When it comes to national defense you don’t tell your enemies what your plans are, he said, referring to both the United States’ Patriot Act and placing timetables on withdrawal from Afghanistan.

While he admitted there have been some abuses of the Patriot Act, he said it was a good law because before cell phones a person didn’t move around as much, and said we needed to bring wiretapping in to the 21st century.

Grassley encouraged the students to get in-volved in politics before ending the session.

“Through government you’ve got more of an opportunity to make an impact than almost any other instrument in society,” he said.

Grassley also told them to pick a political party, saying he doesn’t “bad mouth indepen-dents” but they don’t get to select who gets nom-inated to run.

ELECTION 2010: The race for Governor

Was Iowa Secretary of State, and a high school government teacher before that. His father was former U.S. Sen. John Culver.

During his fi rst term as governor, Culver greatly expanded access to preschool and health care coverage for children. His administration also raised the age a person could stay on their parents’ health insurance to 26, before the national debate on health care reform took place, and greatly expanded access to preschools.

Culver’s campaign has struggled amid scandals during under his administration, such as the misuse of tax credits through the Iowa Film Offi ce. In October 2009, Culver made the decision to enact a 10-percent, across-the-board cut to the state budget, which hit public schools particularly hard. The governor said at the time it was a choice of raising taxes or cutting government spending. He said he would force local school boards to spend down their cash reserves before enacting any raises in property taxes.

In September, the Culver administration announced the state had a near-record budget surplus of $336 million and grabbed the support of the National Rifl e Association. Culver began the I-JOBS program, devoted primarily to infrastructure and fl ood recovery. It was bonded and will cost more than $1 billion, but is being paid off entirely by gaming revenue.

First elected governor in 1982, and served four terms until 1999.

Elected governor in 2006

While Branstad does not support the expansion of preschool Culver has undertaken, the portion the state provides for higher education has dropped signifi cantly since Branstad left offi ce.

Branstad’s time in offi ce faced a similar set of challenges: record fl ooding, a recession causing high unemployment and struggles to balance a budget.

Much of Branstad’s campaign has put a focus on the economy, as he repeatedly touts during his time in offi ce the state unemployment rate went from a record high to less than 3 percent when he left in 1999. Part of his proposals include opening more trading of Iowa’s agricultural products with South Korea, getting rid of the Iowa Department of Workforce Development and starting a new public-private partnership and incentives to keep young Iowans here rather than leaving the state for careers.

Instead of making the issue of the Iowa Defense of Marriage Act — signed into law by Branstad in his fi nal term — being overturned by Iowa’s Supreme Court central in his campaign like other GOP candidates did in the primary, Branstad’s approach includes a possible vote to amend the constitution over same-sex marriage and said he’s open to changing how Iowa’s Supreme Court justices are selected.

perseverance.”He emphasized that the

most important definition of leadership is “the one you cre-ate for yourself. It should not be your mission to live up to someone else’s definition but to fulfill your own.”

Hanson said students can exemplify leadership by taking ideas they have and actually acting upon these ideas. He also spoke about how he used leadership in creating the uni-versity’s first pre-law frater-nity, Phi Alpha Delta.

Hanson applied his three

components of leadership to the conference’s theme.

“When you move in, it re-quires initiative to find out the roles on campus that enable leadership,” he said.

He encouraged students to attend such events as Clubfest and to meet other people.

“To move up, you must ex-hibit action and actively par-ticipate in all that you can,” he said.

Hanson said that when it comes to the last theme, mov-ing on, “it takes that continued perseverance to ensure the work you have done serves you in the future.”

CEDAR RAPIDS — Biologists are con-cerned about the future of what had been a world-class smallmouth bass fishery in a silt-filled river below the failed dam at Lake Delhi in northeast Iowa. A fish survey crew sampled stocks below the Lake Delhi Dam, finding adult smallmouth bass. The area has provided ideal smallmouth spawning areas and has nurtured aquatic life the fish use for food. But since July it has been covered with a 6-inch layer of muck that formed on the bed of the drained lake when the dam failed. The dam failure drained a 9-mile-long recreational area.

“My big concern for the next five years at least is how will the smallmouth bass repro-duce and sustain themselves when silt cov-ers much of the formerly rocky stream bed?” Department of Natural Resources fisheries

biologist Dan Kirby told The Gazette newspa-per in Cedar Rapids. Iowa natural resources experts say 180,000 cubic yards of silt, or about 18,000 dump truck loads of silt, washed into the river over two months.

Kirby said he plans more testing Tuesday and Wednesday and will compare this year’s data with previous years to see the impact of the dam breach. On Monday, five crew samples found 47 channel catfish, 38 smallmouth bass, 13 largemouth bass, 12 walleye and panfish.

The river is one of Iowa’s most studied bod-ies of water because the department has con-ducted fish counts there for the last 30 years.

Kirby said initial assessments are that the catfish numbers are very high and the small-mouth were mature with younger fish almost totally absent.

“Reproduction and survival of small fish are going to be problems,” he said.

Billboards spotlight underage drinking in Iowa

MASON CITY — Billboards targeting un-derage drinking are up in Mason City.

The Globe Gazette says the city’s Youth Task Force and police are using two billboards to warn adults about the consequences of serving alcohol to minors in violation of a so-cial host ordinance. A third billboard cautions athletes about mixing sports and booze. Cerro Gordo County supervisors approved the so-cial host ordinance last year. It holds adults responsible for providing minors with alcohol. Mary Schissel of the task force says the vast majority of young people don’t go into bars and drink, they drink at people’s homes and some-one has to buy the alcohol for them.

The billboards were paid for with a federal grant.13 Iowa projects receive federal green jobs money

DES MOINES — Iowa’s efforts at renew-able energy and energy efficiency are getting a boost from federal stimulus funding.

Gov. Chet Culver announced Tuesday that the state is to receive $5.7 million in grants for three years to fast-track training and job placement in the sectors. The governor’s office says the projects will help get training money to businesses, dislocated workers, the under-employed and unemployed.

The funding encompasses thirteen proj-ects in Iowa, including efforts at weatheriza-tion, electric transmission and renewable fuels. The money was awarded by the State Energy Sector Partnership Board.

Iowa railroads to share $3M for flood repairs

DES MOINES — Iowa railroads are to share more than $3 million in federal trans-portation funding to pay for repairing damage after the historic flooding during 2008.

The funding was announced Tuesday by members of Iowa’s congressional delegation. It includes $2.2 million for flood damage res-toration for the Iowa Northern Railway. The money will be used to remove flood debris from rails among other efforts. The railway stretches more than 160 miles from Cedar Rapids to Manly.

Three other railways will share the rest of the funding. They include the Burlington Junction Railway, the Iowa River Railroad and the Iowa Interstate Railroad.

Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin says repairing the railroads will help the state’s economy after the flooding slowed transport of goods and suppressed commerce.Iowa awarded $13.1M substance abuse grant

DES MOINES — Iowa has been awarded a $13.1 million federal grant to increase the number of substance abuse support service providers.

State public health officials say the grant to the Access to Recovery project will be spread over four years and allow more providers to be eligible for federal funding. It also will more than double the number of people the program serves to 9,600.

Americans lack accountability for lifestyles

Editorial

4 opinio

Know the candidatesBy Curtis Powers iowastatedaily.com

Election 2010

It’s no surprise that taxes are a hot topic on the campaign trail. The combination of budget deficits and an economic recession have put average folks in a tough spot.

Parents are tapping into 401(k) benefits to afford tuition payments, young profes-sionals are seeking second and third jobs to make ends meet, and Congress used last year’s economic stimulus package to extend unemployment benefits out to 73 weeks.

Even Iowa State was forced to trim 10 percent of its budget using furloughs, early retirement and lower-paying lecture posi-tions, forcing some departments to elimi-nate programs, merge with other depart-ments and increase class sizes.

NPR’s Jacob Goldstein recently covered a report from think-tank Third Way, suggest-ing a “taxpayer receipt” for those filing tax returns. The report breaks down spending for the $5,400 in federal taxes paid by an in-dividual making $34,000 per year, and we’ll be providing a link to the chart and report in the online edition of this editorial.

According to Third Way, almost 40 percent of federal tax dollars pay for three entitlement programs: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Despite reports to the contrary, Social Security isn’t going bankrupt — the program can afford to pay full benefits for all new and existing recipi-ents until 2039, and 80 percent thereafter.

This is particularly important, consid-ering Social Security is a major source of income for two-thirds of the elderly popu-lation, and the sole source of income for one-third. It’s also used to pay benefits to children who have lost parents and folks with chronic or terminal illnesses.

With the outright dissolution of entitle-ment programs clearly off the table, where does that leave us as a nation? How can we continue to maintain our standard of living without further inundating ourselves in debt?

We know one place we can all start: our lifestyle.

Americans take health for granted. While we seem content to complain about the decreasing affordability of health care costs, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone to contradict the claim we enjoy the best health care on the planet. That’s not to say doctors from other countries aren’t equally brilliant — they are. That’s also not to say socialized medicine doesn’t work in other countries — it does.

However, in America, we lack account-ability. Simply put, our unhealthy lifestyle is affecting health care affordability — we can’t all afford to be fat. Diabetes, heart disease and joint problems are quickly becom-ing the norm. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons pegs complete hip fracture care around $35,000. Diabetes costs are now covered for Vietnam vets to the tune of $42 billion in the next 10 years.

We urge you to ask yourself one simple question: Does your current lifestyle guaran-tee you health in 20 years? 40 years? Do you exercise regularly? Are fruits and vegetables an integral part of your diet? Do you shy away from high-calorie food full of fat and sugar, or do you find yourself spending more time in the frozen food section than the produce aisle?

We are the cause — and solution — to many of our problems. General lethargy and overeating is a recipe for disaster that can be remedied only by conscientious public. If you plan on retiring, ever, do yourself two favors: Start saving your money now, and stay healthy. We owe that much to everyone around us. We owe it to ourselves.

As I promised in my last column, this column will cover various local and state elections that affect you.

Mostly, it’s about candidates and elec-tions you probably don’t know anything about other than for maybe the signs you’ve seen around town with names you don’t recognize. That was my experience anyway.

This will cover the candidates who participated in the MICA Poverty Forum last week at Mary Greeley Medical Center. That includes elections for county su-pervisor, state Senate and state House of Representatives.

Before I get to that, though, there are a few other things on the ballot that you should be aware of.

Ballot MeasuresFirst, three of Iowa’s Supreme Court

justices are up for retention. Normally, no one really cares about this.

However, many conservative groups led by former gubernatorial candidate, Bob Vander Plaats, are seeking to oust the jus-tices over the ruling that made gay marriage legal in the state of Iowa — Varnum v. Brien.

I’ve already written about this, so I don’t feel the need to do so again.

The other article of note is the question about whether or not to call a Constitutional Convention for the State of Iowa. Again, this is normally not a big deal. It’s something on the ballot every 10 years that gets little attention. In fact, the last time it happened was in 1920.

However, the Catholic Church is mak-ing a push for this in order to disallow gay marriage since this is the easiest route to accomplish this.

Thomas Jochum, a lobbyist for the gays rights advocacy group One Iowa, noted in an editorial to the Des Moines Register that this may do more harm than good for the church in the end. He based this upon its other political positions like immigration and health care which are at odds with other conservative groups.

CandidatesAs for the candidates, if you know

nothing else about them, know that they generally hold to the standard positions of the parties they represent.

For example, Chad Steenhoek, the Republican challenger in the race for the 46th District’s House of Representatives seat, wants the government to get the hell out of everyone’s way.

Also know that I generally favor incum-bents because they have experience and

know how to get things done better. I don’t buy into the theory that outsiders can bring great change to government.

They might be able to down the road once they figure out what’s going on but not right away.

County SupervisorsThere are three county supervisors who

manage a roughly $40 million budget and are paid around $61,000 a year to do so. Their big budget items are mental health, roads, public safety and administration.

There are two seats up for election this year with four candidates vying for the posi-tions. There are no incumbents.

For the Republicans, there are Rick Sanders and Jason Covey.

Covey is a senior in political science and a student of mine. However, he was not at the forum, so I really don’t know much about him.

For Democrats, there are Paul Toot and Lucy Martin.

Of the three that I saw at the forum, I’d probably be comfortable with any of them. However, since I can only choose two, I’d pick Martin and Sanders.

Martin is probably the most experienced candidate running due to her six years of experience in the New York City mayor’s office and another six with the Story County auditor.

I’d take Sanders because he seems like an energetic leader who’d bring a different perspective to the board due to his entrepre-neurial background.

Toot seems like a nice guy, but nothing really stuck out to me that separated him from the other two.

State House of RepresentativesThere are two House districts that split

Ames in half, the 45th and the 46th. The 45th District is in south Ames and the 46th is in north Ames.

The main dividing line on the map seems to be 13th Street, though it weaves as far south as Lincoln Way. You can figure it out by going to www.followthemoney.org and inputting your address.

The 45th District features incumbent Beth Wessel-Kroeschell, Democrat, against Republican Karin Sevde.

Wessel-Kroeschell has been in office since 2004 and seems to have a good grasp of the issues and governance.

On the other side, Sevde comes from a business background, but she gave me no reason to think she could govern as well as Wessel-Kroeschell.

The 46th district features Democratic incumbent Lisa Heddens against Chad Steenhoek, a Republican.

Heddens has been in office since 2002 and is assistant majority leader. So she has a significant influence on the legislative body.

That means I really don’t want to remove her unless I have a good reason to, because I want my representatives hold power positions.

She seemed pretty knowledgeable and is a good candidate on the whole.

Steenhoek, on the other hand, seemed genuinely pissed off. It kind of felt like he was taking all of his frustration and bitter-ness in life out on the government.

I haven’t been around any tea party events, but I feel like he might have provided a look at someone who might typify a tea party supporter.

It was a little scary. Therefore, I like Heddens here.

SenateOur Senate district is number 23.

Currently, our senator is ISU economics professor Herman Quirmbach, a Democrat.

Quirmbach has been in the Senate since 2003, and it should be noted that he serves as the vice chair for the education budget committee. So he helps determine how much money Iowa State gets and is a great advocate for Iowa State.

So in my mind, it’d take a great chal-lenger for me to consider anyone other than Quirmbach.

He running against a lawyer, Republican Timothy Gartin.

On the whole, I thought Gartin was probably the best Republican candidate at the forum, though House of Representative Dave Deyoe of District 10 was right there with him.

Gartin was thoughtful and articulate in outlining his main issue, which is the budget. He sees all of the issues that the state is facing coming from potential budget shortfalls.

While I think Gartin would be a great senator, I think we already have one. Therefore, I’m sticking with Quirmbach.

People may think I’m some sort of Democrat from this. But I’m not, I’m a mod-erate independent. Just ask my wife.

I think it would be great for the state of Iowa if we maintained Democratic majorities in the legislative bodies and elected Republican Terry Branstad to be our governor.

Governing from the center will keep Iowa strong heading into the future.

From little town to big dreams, ISU alumnus Dan Brouillette introduces a focus into the life of professional photography.

Brouillette began his adventure at Iowa State as a psychology major with a minor in marketing. Beyond being interested in the ideas of the human brain, he became more interested in his roommates’ Adobe Photoshop. After becoming skilled in editing other people’s photos, he decided to purchase a camera of his own, and that’s where it all began.

He began taking high school senior pictures of his little brother’s friends for $50, a low price to comparable current rates. He also enjoyed looking at magazine editorials in local Ames bookstores for ideas. After his inquiry of photo work, he continued to come to the same conclusion — Iowa had a lack of photo opportunities.

After graduation, Brouillette booked his first big gig, shooting for the NFL’s Houston Texans for ESPN magazine. He says he doesn’t remember much of that shoot because he was so nervous, claiming he had no idea what to expect and will never go to a shoot without an assistant again.

After that shoot, Brouillette took off in the world of photography and hasn’t stopped since. His most recent job landed him around a little different crowd. Brouillette did the model test shoots for Elite Model Agency, shooting models from all around the world for fashion week.

On any given day you can find Brouillette in New York City or Sioux City. On shoots in New York he will be scoping locations, model looks and trendsetting clothes, all while lining up his makeup artist and stylist for the next shoot. And, when he is not shooting, he is setting up magazine appointments, working on his portfolio and working with his agent to find the next big job.

Beyond being involved in the world of high fashion, Brouillette stays close to home with Iowa State.

He works with Des Moines ad agency Neyocks Group to take the men’s football and basketball images seen all around campus for the “Cyclone Nation” football posters to the miniature schedules we receive with our student ticket pass. Brouillette still enjoys Cyclone athletics and is always in attendance for Cyclone football games.

In 20 years, Brouillette dreams of being in New York, shooting editorials for high fashion magazines and music magazines. Brouillette advice for new comers in the business of photography,

“Take lots of pictures of everything so you can get a better feel of lighting and pictures. Once you are good with that, you find your own and your niche in the industry,” he said.

When asked the best way to break into the industry with such high competition, he responded, “Be specific, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.”

Meet Francesca Skwark. A recent ISU alumna who styles shoots for Esquire magazine, she dressed Lo Bosworth for the VMAs and two major celebrities for the Emmy’s.

Skwark, an apparel merchandising production and design major with a second degree in marketing, was extremely involved in her major before she graduated. She worked two summer internships in New York City at Tommy Hilfiger as well as at Macy’s Merchandising Group for brand Style & CO. She was involved in the annual fashion show and won the YMA fashion scholarship, which opened many doors for her in the industry.

She only saved up enough money for three months when she first flew out to Los Angeles. If she didn’t land a full-

time job before her money was out, she was on her way back to Illinois. After networking and e-mailing like crazy, she attended the stylecareers.com career fair and landed another internship with Bollare Style and Communications Firm. After having rewarding experiences and “learning a tremendous amount,” she then met celebrity stylist April Steiner.

Running to showrooms, fittings, pulling garments and being on call was many of her duties with Steiner. Another opportunity came up where she had the chance to also work with Taylor Jacobson, celebrity stylist and former Rachel Zoe assistant. After lots of hard work and running to every PR room in Los Angeles, Skwark became a full time assistant stylist to Steiner.

“If she needs me in one hour, I will be there in one hour,”

Skwark said. No day is ever the same and her schedule is always different. Being constantly on her feet and out and about is one of the things she loves about her job. “I like to be there and make people feel good about themselves. Seeing the expression on their faces, seeing them on the magazines or on the Internet, that sense of satisfaction is so tremendous. That is the best part of the job, seeing all your hard work paying off,” Skwark said.

She assisted styling Jessalyn Gilsig, from “Glee,” for the Emmy’s, where Gilsig was voted one of the best dressed of the night. When asked tips for getting into this tough industry, she said to “network, network, network and make sure to maintain relationships. You have to work from the bottom up and soak up everything you learn. Most importantly, don’t let anyone tell you that you cannot do it.”

I don’t know if it is actually possible for a girl to have too many dresses in her closet; they are, quite simply, a girl’s best friend. This notion of dresses being such a staple in women’s wardrobes made ISU alumnae Robyn and Eva Anderson think.

After both of the women graduated with degrees in apparel merchandising and design, they moved together to the city of Chicago. In looking to find their niche in a city that explodes with department stores and national franchises, they stumbled upon an opportunity to create their own brand. After seeing how there was rarely any primary dress stores and getting lost in the merchandise shuffle of Bloomingdales, they knew they needed to invest in a small boutique to give women something different. There needed to be a dress store that would offer ease and convenience to customers, while they were able to find that perfect dress for any occasion.

The Andersons founded the European-style

boutique, Le Dress, to cater to this missing link in the Chicago area. The boutique they have developed is very feminine and girly, which grabs every woman’s attention as they walk past.

The women wanted their boutique to stand out past all the other stores surrounding them, and to do so they decided to not be closed off and focus on a specific customer. They targeted all women of Chicago, from girls graduating high school all the way to women in their 50s and 60s. To accommodate these different types of bodies and sizes of women, the merchandise carried in Le Dress is of a wide array.

Le Dress also caters to all price ranges, with dresses priced at $50 all the way to $400.

Eva Anderson describes their reasoning behind this: “Boutiques were so expensive, but we saw how college students needed dresses, too, so we catered to these specific price ranges.” Having their boutique take in consideration all women makes them stand out past the other closed-off boutiques.

When it comes to buying,

the boutique frequently checks out new and old vendors to keep up with new styles and refreshes the store constantly.

They receive new shipments of dresses once a week to keep the store updated and to make sure there is always plenty of merchandise offered. Le Dress buys merchandise from an array of vendors including Mark and James by Badgley Mischka, Anna Fong, Yumi Kim, Milly and Jay Godfrey. The owners will choose clothing from vendors that are well known, but also from smaller designers that customers would see in big department stores.

Le Dress boutique has been featured in many magazines, newspapers and television segments. You can find them in the pages of Marie Claire, Lucky, Teen Vogue and Chicago Social. They also put on several events and deals throughout the year.

To find out more information on Le Dress, check out www.ledresschicago.com. The store is located in downtown Chicago on 1741 W. Division St.

Double, double toil and trouble, MAC does it again. Its wicked new cosmetic line — literally — made it’s debut this past weekend at all MAC stores.

The line was a cutesy collaboration between Disney and MAC giving all our favorite villains — who we love to hate — their own line.

I have to admit — I’m a fan of all things spooky, but the colors seemed to be great for the autumn and winter season. Cruella De Vil was one of my favorites filled with luscious pink/red lip and eye color. My favoriate was her “Wicked Ways,” lip gloss which is already sold out online.

Cruella wasn’t only the profiled villain: the Evil Queen from “Snow White,” Maleficient from “Sleeping Beauty,” and Dr. Faciler from the “Princess and the Frog,” kept her company. The line offers crazy purple lip colors and glittery nails perfect for Halloween, complimented by purple shadows ready for upcoming holiday parties.

Volleyball

Inconsistency has been a curse for ISU volleyball this season.

The Cyclones lost a five-set nailbiter to Big 12 rival Texas last Wednesday in Austin, Texas, getting out-shot by the Longhorns .173 to .243 in hitting percentage.

“I think we learned, just as a team, that we’ve got to be able to play hard for the whole entire match,” said junior middle blocker Debbie Stadick, who recorded four blocks against the Longhorns to reach the milestone of 200 blocks in her career.

“It makes it obvious when games are that close, and in that close of a match ev-ery little thing matters.”

After having the weekend off, No. 10 Iowa State (10-3, 3-2 Big 12) will return to competition against Texas Tech (3-12, 1-5) on Wednesday night at Ames High School.

The Red Raiders may not be mention-able in the same breath with the likes of Texas or Nebraska when it comes to prestige in the Big 12, but coach Christy Johnson-Lynch is making sure her play-ers don’t underestimate them.

“I think the thing that worries me is that Texas Tech has gone out and proven that they can upset teams,” Johnson-Lynch said.

“We just have to remember that it could be the last-place team in the Big 12, that’s still a pretty good team. We’ve got to make sure we’re mentally ready and don’t get complacent.”

Last Saturday, Texas Tech snapped a 64-match losing streak to Big 12 oppo-nents by defeating Kansas in five sets in Lubbock, Texas.

Texas Tech also leads the all-time se-ries against Iowa State, 20-11, with 10 of

its wins coming in Ames.However, Johnson-Lynch is 9-1

against Texas Tech at the helm of Cyclone volleyball.

The Cyclones also have not lost to an unranked opponent since No. 22, 2008, when they were swept by Oklahoma in Norman, Okla.

The biggest challenge the Cyclones will face will come from themselves.

“Sometimes when you play the not-as-strong teams, you kind of drop down to their level and you can kind of play along with them, play into their style of game,” said sophomore middle blocker Jamie Straube.

“So I think it will be a challenge for us to just keep playing at a high level and continue to keep working hard and keep getting better.”

In two matches against Texas Tech last season, Straube combined for a .462 hitting percentage while registering 16 total kills for the cardinal and gold.

The match starts at 7 p.m. Wednesday night at Ames High School.

Iowa State gears up for Texas Tech

It’s noon on Friday at Mary Greeley Medical Center. The halls are bustling with lunch-time visitors. Near the entrance stand a group of ISU football players. Behind them are Paul Rhoads and his wife, Vicki.

As passers-by maneuver through the team, cheers of “good luck” and requests for them to “take care of things” can be heard.

Although the wishes are well received, that is not what they came for.

They came for smiles.Every Friday before a home game, players

volunteer their time during the afternoon to visit with patients, hoping to make their days brighter.

“I’ve been taught to give back,” said defensive lineman Bailey Johnson.

“This is a chance for me to do that.”This tradition started under Dan McCarney

16 years ago. Depending on class schedules, dif-ferent players come each week. Some have been able to go every week, but for defensive back Leonard Johnson, last Friday was his first time.

“I wasn’t expecting to get personal,” Leonard Johnson said.

“I didn’t think we’d actually stay in there and

carry conversations and get to know people.”Upon arrival, the group splits in half and are

given a list of rooms to visit. One group starts at the top of the list and the

other half starts at the bottom. This gives them a chance to spend a little bit more time in each room. They visit various departments, including pediatrics and oncology.

“It was a good experience for me,” Leonard Johnson said.

“I know the people that we visit, not only do we touch them, but they had an impact on me.”

He plans on visiting every Friday home game from now on.

Bailey Johnson and offensive lineman Alex Alvarez have been visiting the hospital since the 2007 season. The roommates have seen the im-pact that they have on people.

“I keep coming back because I know people appreciated us coming up here and they enjoy talking to us,” Bailey Johnson said.

As the players meander through the hospital hallways, they visit with patients about the next day’s game, pose for photos with them and give out autographed programs, but it hasn’t always been so easy for Alvarez.

“The first time I came, it was nerve-racking,”

The ISU women’s golf team was the runner-up in Monday and Tuesday’s Windy City Collegiate Classic.

This second-place finish is the most recent impressive finish for the ISU Cyclones, who have been on fire all year.

The team has brought home two second-place finish-es and one fourth-place finish in three tournaments .

Purdue won the Windy City Collegiate Classic for the third straight year, shoot-ing a total score 876 after three rounds. This topped the Cyclones who’s total score

was 883 by a mere seven strokes at the C o l l e g i a t e Classic.

Purdue is always a team to watch out for, as it is the defend-ing NCAA champions.

T h e C y c l o n e s ’ p e r f o r -mance at the C o l l e g i a t e Classic tied for the second-best 54-hole score in school history.

A big part of the Cyclones’

success was an outstand-ing perfor-mance by true fresh-man Prima Thammaraks.

In only her second career tournament, she tied for sec-ond place among the individ-ual scores. She shot an impres-sive 68 in the second round and finished the tournament with a total of 217 (74, 68, 75).

Of course, Iowa State placing second overall at the Collegiate Classic is a team ef-fort, and all the Cyclone wom-en played solid golf.

Senior Laurence Herman

shot a 71 in Tuesday’s final round to bump her into a tie for fourth place.

Senior Victoria Stefansen racked up her ninth top-10 fin-ish of her career after her 220 tied her for sixth place.

Iowa State sophomore Punpaka Phuntumabamrung has impressed everyone with her play so far this year. Although she did not finish as well as she had in the previous tournaments this year, she still tied for 23rd overall with a to-tal score of 230.

Taking first place in the tournament, shooting a 215, was Purdue senior Numa Gulyanamitta, who was part of the team’s championship run

last year. She also competed as an amateur in the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open.

The Cyclones will be back

on the course Monday and Tuesday to compete in the Lady Northern Invitational in Glencoe, Ill.

Last week, the ISU athletic department announced it had finalized the non-conference schedule for the 2011 season.

Later in the week, the team’s Big 12 schedule was set for 2011, the first season of the conference’s new nine-team, round-robin format.

Tuesday, the ISU foot-ball team looked a bit further ahead when it announced it had scheduled non-confer-ence matchups through the 2017 season.

“We had to make several adjustments to our future non-conference football sched-ules to accommodate the new nine-game Big 12 schedule beginning next fall,” said ISU Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard.

“Fortunately the changes in our schedule are not result-ing in any financial penalty to Iowa State University. We

really appreciate the tremen-dous cooperation that we received from several institu-tions around the country to help us adjust our schedule accordingly.”

Iowa State’s new future schedules include games with in-state rival Iowa each season, preserving the once in-doubt Cy-Hawk Series through at least 2017.

The season opener in 2011 and 2013 and the openers from 2015-17 are all scheduled with in-state foe Northern Iowa.

Each season, Iowa State will face one oppo-nent from NCAA Division I Championship Subdivision, formerly Division 1-AA, the di-vision directly below the Bowl Subdivision in which Iowa State plays.

Alvarez said. “I was a little bit nervous.

I didn’t know what to expect because I had been in hospitals before, but not to see patients.”

At first, Alvarez was un-comfortable talking to the patients and he didn’t know what to say to say to them, but as time went on, he was able to relax and enjoy his time visit-ing along with his roommate.

“I enjoy seeing the people’s reaction when we visit them,” Bailey Johnson said.

“Every time we come back, there’s someone that sticks out.”

Several patients are alumni of Iowa State and have fam-ily members who have also at-tended. Some are just Cyclone fanatics.

“Just the fact that we come and visit, you can see that their spirits lift up,” Alvarez said.

“Even though they might not be in the best circum-stances health-wise, you can tell it makes them feel good. It makes us feel good, too, to come to say hi to them. It’s a wonderful experience.”

At the nurses’ station on the third floor, the desk is adorned with Cyclone spirit. On top sits photo albums full of photos of past visits, where older players can see themselves years ago and the team can see players from the past who also helped with the visits.

Overall, the players enjoy the time that they spend at the Mary Greeley Medical Center, and they see the good in what they do.

“Sometimes we take things for granted,” Alvarez said.

“It’s still nice to see they’re so positive about their lives and keep on going.”

The Cyclones’ inability to execute when they needed to resulted in a loss to No. 7 Oklahoma State on Sunday.

The Cowgirls came into the game ranked eighth in the country and undefeated in conference play. And the Cyclones kept the pressure up, but were unable to put a goal in the net.

“Playing with them, it didn’t feel like we were any less in technical ability,” said ISU senior midfielder and co-captain Jordan Bishop.

The lone goal in the game came in the 13th minute, when Cowgirl junior midfielder Krista Lopez got a cross pass from junior defender Colleen Dougherty to give the Sooners the 1-0 lead.

“For most of the game we were tight and disciplined defensively, but we let up and had one error and they took advantage of that opportunity and put the ball in the back of the net,” said junior defender and co-captain Mary Kate McLaughlin.

Lopez has had games this year with two or even three goals, so holding her to one was a confidence booster for the Cyclones.

“We stayed tight, we stayed disciplined, we learned a lot from the Oklahoma game, and we didn’t want to let that hap-pen again,” McLaughlin said. “I think we were happy with it, but we weren’t content with

it.”After the early goal,

Oklahoma State kept up its strong offensive attack, but the Cyclone defense blocked five shots and freshman keeper Maddie Jobe saved three to keep the score at 1-0.

“We didn’t let up. We saw what we needed to do and we just kept going. It’s just been a huge change for us because most games when we go down, we go down hard, but this game we stepped it up to another level that we haven’t before,” said freshman mid-

fielder Emily Goldstein.Freshman forward Jen

Dominguez closed out the half with a shot blocked and a shot that was saved by Oklahoma State goalkeeper Adrianna Franch.

Iowa State came out firing in the second half despite the one-goal deficit and out-shot the Cowgirls 6-2, but missed opportunities made it hard for the Cyclones to score.

“You don’t get very many [opportunities] against a good team like that because they are so disciplined all over the

field, so just making the most of opportunities we do have,” Bishop said.

Iowa State’s intensity also helped keep the game tight, and Goldstein said it will help them in future games if they can keep it up for the entire game.

“We need to take the inten-sity and the feistiness that we had for the 80 minutes that we had it and apply it to 90 min-utes,” she said.

“We can’t ever have a men-tal lapse like those five to 10 minutes where we were men-

tally shut out of the game and need to make sure we are in the game the whole 90 minutes.”

Earlier this season, the team got word that an article called Iowa State the doormat of the Big 12, a term members believe they won’t be associ-ated with after contending with one of the top teams in the country.

“It shows we’re here,” Bishop said.

“We aren’t going to lay over and let people walk over us. We’ve never been that team, we just haven’t finished well in

the past couple years.”Despite the loss, coach

Wendy Dillinger was still very happy with the way the team played.

“We played right with them the whole game,” Dillinger said.

“The difference between them and us is we had a break-down and they took advantage of it, and a great team is going to punish you when you make a mistake.”

Dillinger also added that the Cyclones had the same op-portunity late in the game that Oklahoma State did earlier on, but the Cyclones weren’t able to execute.

Dominguez had another opportunity to score later on in the game, and Dillinger cred-ited the Cowgirl defense for keeping Dominguez’s ball out of the net.

“Jen Dominguez had a good look late in the game and they crushed her basically in the box, so they are much better defensively,” Dillinger said.

Dillinger also said the lack of experience with 13 fresh-men on the roster is something that is improving with time.

The loss brought the Cyclones’ record to 6-5-2 on the season and 1-2-0 in the conference, and Oklahoma State improved to 11-1-1 over-all and 4-0 in the Big 12.

Iowa State will contin-ue their Big 12 season with games this weekend against Nebraska and Colorado, the first being Nebraska at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

NEW YORK — The Pakistani immi-grant who tried to detonate a car bomb on a busy Saturday night in Times Square accepted a life sentence with a smirk Tuesday and warned that Americans can expect more bloodshed at the hands of Muslims.

“Brace yourselves, because the war with Muslims has just begun,” 31-year-old Faisal Shahzad told a federal judge. “Consider me the first droplet of the blood that will follow.”

His punishment for building the propane-and-gasoline bomb and driving it into the heart of the city in an SUV in May was a foregone conclusion, since the charges to which he pleaded guilty carried a mandatory life sentence, which under federal rules will keep him behind bars until he dies.

But the former budget analyst from Connecticut used the courtroom appear-ance to rail against the U.S., saying the country will continue to pay for occupying Muslim countries.

“We are only Muslims trying to defend our religion, people, homes and land, but if you call us terrorists, then we are proud terrorists and we will keep on terrorizing you until you leave our lands and people at peace,” he told U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum.

Shahzad — brought into the courtroom in handcuffs, and wearing a long beard and skullcap — had instructed his attorney not to speak, and Cedarbaum told prosecutors she didn’t need to hear from them.

That left the two free to spar over his reasoning for giving up his comfortable life in America to train in Pakistan and carry out an attack authorities say could have killed an untold number of pedestrians.

“You appear to be someone who was capable of education and I do hope you will spend some of the time in prison thinking carefully about whether the Quran wants you to kill lots of people,” Cedarbaum said.

Shahzad responded that the “Quran gives us the right to defend. And that’s all I’m doing.”

The judge cut him off at one point to ask if he had sworn allegiance to the U.S.

when he became a citizen last year.“I did swear, but I did not mean it,”

Shahzad said.In his address to the court, he said

Osama bin Laden “will be known as no less than Saladin of the 21st-century cru-sade” — a reference to the Muslim hero of the Crusades. He also said: “If I’m given 1,000 lives, I will sacrifice them all.”

Shahzad smirked when the judge im-posed the sentence. Asked if he had any final words, he said, “I’m happy with the deal that God has given me.”

Afterward, the head of the FBI’s New York office, Janice K. Fedarcyk, cited evi-dence that Shahzad hoped to strike more than once.

“Shahzad built a mobile weapon of mass destruction and hoped and intended that it would kill large numbers of inno-cent people and planned to do it again two weeks later,” Fedarcyk said in a statement. “The sentence imposed today means Shahzad will never pose that threat again.”

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara called Shahzad a “remorseless terrorist who be-trayed his adopted country.”

“We have to be concerned about home-grown terrorists given recent events. We’re working as hard as we can to make sure we don’t have another event like that,” Bharara said.

White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said the administration was pleased with the sentencing.

“We tried the case in a civilian court, we were able to use everything that he said and everything that we uncovered for intelligence collection purposes,” he said. “His trial served no propaganda purpose for al-Qaida, and only underscored the strength of our justice system.”

Calling himself a Muslim soldier, Shahzad pleaded guilty in June to 10 ter-rorism and weapons counts. He said the Pakistan Taliban provided him with more than $15,000 and five days of explosives training late last year and early this year, months after he became a U.S. citizen.

For greatest impact, he chose a crowd-ed a section of Times Square by studying an online streaming video of the so-called Crossroads of the World, prosecutors said.

On May 1, he lit the fuse of his crude bomb packed in a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder, then walked away, pausing to listen for the explosion that never came, court papers said. A street vendor spotted smoke com-ing from the SUV and alerted police, who quickly cleared the area.

The bomb attempt set off an intense in-vestigation that culminated two days later with investigators plucking Shahzad off a Dubai-bound plane at a New York airport.

CNN — After deliberat-ing for about four hours over two days, a jury Tuesday convicted a 47-year-old man of capital murder in the deaths of three members of a Connecticut family in a 2007 home invasion.

Steven Hayes was con-victed on 16 of the 17 charges against him in connection with the deaths of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her two daughters, including nine counts of murder and capital murder and four counts of kidnapping.

The jurors acquitted him of an arson charge in the burning of the family’s home.

As the verdicts were read, Hayes stood at the defense table, looking down. Some members of the Petit fam-ily embraced, while others seemed close to tears.

The killings took place in the New Haven suburb of Cheshire early on July 23, 2007.

The home of Dr. William Petit, his wife, Hawke-Petit, and their two daughters was invaded in the middle of the night by Hayes and co-defen-dant Joshua Komisarjevsky, prosecutors say.

Komisarjevsky will be tried separately.

“There is some relief, but my family is still gone,” Petit told reporters after the verdict.

“It doesn’t bring them back. It doesn’t bring back the home that we had.”

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Hayes.

Judge Jon Blue set the penalty phase to begin October 18.

LOS ANGELES — A prosecutor in the Anna Nicole Smith drug conspir-acy case accused the model’s boyfriend and doctors of providing her with drugs to enhance their friendships, but a defense attorney coun-tered Tuesday that it was not a crime for a doctor to prescribe medication for a friend in pain.

Lawyer Brad Brunon, who represents defendant Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, told jurors his client was ac-cused in prosecution sum-mations of giving Smith drugs to make her feel good.

“Isn’t that what a doc-tor is supposed to do?” Brunon asked in his closing

argument.“Is there a charge that

Dr. Eroshevich committed a crime because she pre-scribed to a friend? No. It’s not a crime.”

Brunon was the first of three defense lawyers who will address the jury after prosecutors spent nearly eight hours over two days presenting arguments and an elaborate digital slide show.

Eroshevich, Stern and Kapoor have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to pro-vide excessive prescription drugs to an addict and other charges.
