University of Iowa officials say they see a new en-trepreneurship program initiated by a peer institu-tion as a benefit to the state of Iowa.

The University of Northern Iowa has set up a pro-gram that works with six counties throughout the state to foster an environment that is conducive to entrepreneurs. The program will start out focusing on two regions in Iowa and add more regions as it goes on.

“We recognized that there were some gaps in com-munities across Iowa to have a coordinated effort to provide an entrepreneurial support system to try tp grow companies and assist small businesses and communities,” said LaDene Bowen, assistant direc-tor at UNI’s Institute for Decision Making.

The program is being funded through an annual $150,000 grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s University Center program. It will go through four phases in the regions where it is im-plemented: research about the region, community education, entrepreneurial planning, and follow-up.

In the state of Iowa, entrepreneurship has been es-calating consistently for the past few years according to Lynn Allendorf, the director of the UI Bedell En-trepreneurial Learning Lab.

“Every year there’s more and more of an ecosys-tem, both on campus and in Iowa City supporting entrepreneurship,” she said.

With the addition of UNI’s new entrepreneurship program, the state of Iowa is even better suited to provide opportunities to a changing business world, Allendorf said.

“I don’t think there’s an aspect of competition [be-tween UNI and UI],” she said. “We actually collabo-rate a great deal with them in terms of entrepreneur-ial programs.”

The vacated renovation site of the new 1105 Project — next to the Crisis Center of Johnson County — was filled with the enthusiasm of local community members on Sunday during the project’s first open-house event.

Located at 1105 S. Gilbert Court, the new site will be home to four local agen-cies that share the common goal of helping Johnson County’s most vulnerable popu-lations. The four-part alliance comprises the Crisis Center of Johnson County, the Domestic Violence Intervention Program, the Free Lunch Program, and the Johnson County Chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

“This building represents a significant

step for four nonprofit agencies in our com-munity,” said Sara Langenberg, capital campaign head for the project. “[It will] merge resources, programs, time, and en-ergy toward projects that will allow each agency to reach more clients under one roof.”

The Johnson County Board of Supervi-sors sold the former public-health building to the Crisis Center for $1. Officials antic-ipate the new location will provide 45,000 combined services to people each year.

The total estimated cost of the project is $1.3 million. So far, the project has raised $285,000. With the projected opening date fast approaching in January 2014, the proj-ect has fewer than 100 days to raise the remaining renovation money. Officials are

Shutdown worries LoebsackRep. Dave Loebsack is hopeful for a quick end to the government shutdown.

By MEGaN saNCHEzmegan-sanchez@uiowa.edu

During the country’s first government shutdown in nearly two decades, one West Branch business has seen a 50 percent drop in its sales and revenues.

Stories such as that of Reid’s Beans prompted Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, to return to his home state on Sunday to share in the concern and call for a swift solu-tion.

Jonathan Blundall and Laura Rierson, co-owners of the coffee shop at 106 E. Main St., said they suspect the decrease in business is the result of the closure of the state’s only presidential library, the Herbert Hoover

Presidential Library and Museum. The pair noted that as the town’s major tourist attraction, many locals now find themselves out of work.

On the first day alone, Rierson said she saw a 75 per-cent drop. Since then, two groups have canceled sched-uled parties for this week.

“It’s important to note that in the last 20 years one of the only growing sector of the Iowa economy is tourism,” Blundall said. “It’s a growing sector of our economy as a whole. These are the sectors that are getting hammered because of the uncertainty.”

Loebsack said his preferred way to deal with the situ-ation is to bring a clean continuing resolution — which would reopen the government with previous funding levels — to the floor and vote on it.

He said he is most concerned with the drastic toll the shutdown will take on the general public.

“There will be folks who will be put out of work,” he

said. “The unemployment rate will go back up. The econ-omy, as weak as it is, is going to be affected, and that will affect everybody, one way or another.”

For Blundall, the on-going shutdown has affected more than just business.

“[The shutdown] kind of paralyzed the community,” he said.

In speaking with locals, Rierson said as others have shown similar concerns, she felt compelled to take ac-tion.

After a call to a longtime customer who works for Loebsack, the congressman felt the need to make the visit.

“It wouldn’t have mattered to us who came here,” she said. “I just want somebody to listen to what we have to say, so they understand their actions are influencing and

A program spared for nowby Megan skustermegan-skuster@uiowa.edu

In the wake of a now seven-day government shutdown, Iowa families that rely on Woman, In-fants, and Children vouch-ers now have a little more breathing room.

On Oct. 3 the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture announced it would con-tinue funding the program through the end of the month. An Oct. 1 advisory indicated that no further checks would be issued because of the federal gov-ernment shutdown and subsequent suspension of program funding.

The program provides supplemental nutritious foods, referrals to health-care facilities, and nutri-tion education to nearly 9 million low-income, nutri-tionally at-risk mothers, infants, and young chil-dren across the country.

To date, the program serves 53 percent of all infants born in the Unit-ed States, according to the program’s website.

In Johnson County alone, there are approxi-mately 2,200 clients, said Doug Beardsley, the direc-tor of the Johnson Coun-ty Department of Public Health.

“With the original an-

nouncement, we weren’t able to issue the food checks, and our contract to operate the program was going to be suspended Thursday,” he said. “With this change, we’re able to provide one month’s worth of food checks to the cli-ents, and it extends the contract through the end of October. Hopefully, the issue in Washington will be resolved by then.”

Rep. Mary Mascher, D-Iowa City, agrees.

“It’s unfortunate that they are putting so many people at risk,” she said. “[The shutdown] is some-thing that needs to be resolved, the sooner the

better.”Sen. Tim Kapucian,

R-Keystone, said he would like to see both parties come together to work out a compromise.

“I think that’s essen-tial,” he said. “People that need those services, we can’t just cut them off.”

Beardsley said there will be no checks issued for the month of November if the government shutdown is not resolved by the end of the month.

While many research-ers are still heavily rely-ing on grants to foot the bill for their research en-deavors, one alternative source of funding, orig-inally designed to fund independent projects, is growing in popularity among researchers.

Crowdfunding — a web-based platform for small projects to set up accounts open for public donation — has helped fund the return of a downtown Iowa City movie theater six years in the making. Now, the initiative is being utilized to financially support the research of an University of Iowa graduate student.

Amy Belfi, a fourth-year UI graduate stu-dent, said crowdfund-ing is the ideal avenue for her type of research which “is a little bit out-side the lines” of tradi-tional funding sources. For Belfi, Microryza has served as the preferred platform because it is focused on science. The site is one of the few of its kind that specifical-ly focuses on one area. Many crowdfunding re-sources are available for use with any unique idea, from funding local artists to helping cure bone dis-ease.

“Getting grant funding in this current environ-

ment is really tough,” she said. “Everyone has that experience where they hear a song, and it sud-denly conjures up a mem-ory [so] people can really relate to it and people could really get behind it and it’s the kind of re-search that really appeals to a mass audience.”

According to Nerd-Graph.com, an info graphics website, 283 active crowdfunding plat-forms existed worldwide in 2009. Last year, that number nearly doubled to 536.

Belfi, who is studying how music evokes autobi-ographical memories, has surpassed her first goal of $1,500 set in September; she has $1,640 pledged.

Cindy Wu, the co-founder of Microryza — one of the most popular crowdfunding sites for scientists and the site Belfi has chosen to work through — said since the site was first launched last year she has already seen a dramatic increase in site activity.

Prior to launching the site, Wu was a research-er at the University of Washington. After pub-lishing a research paper, Wu saw an opportunity to expand her knowl-edge but was struggling to gain funding for this newfound project. That’s when she took matters into her own hands by launching the site with

one of her co-workers.“I realized that almost

every single scientist has a early stage idea that they want to just test out but there really isn’t an avenue in the traditional system for scientists,” Wu said.

In the traditional pa-per and online grant for-mat, researches must to go through an applica-tion process, including a peer review, but still may not receive any money for their projects.

Josh Krakauer, CEO and co-founder of Sculpt, an Iowa City-based so-cial media agency, aided in bringing back of the movie-going experience to downtown Iowa City. Through Indiegogo, an-other popular crowdfund-ing site, FilmScene broke an initial $75,000 cam-paign by almost $20,000, which led to its Oct. 3 soft opening.

Krakauer said, while this funding avenue can be productive, there has to be a marketing strat-egy in place to make the public aware of the proj-ect.

“Just because you have the campaign, doesn’t mean anyone funds it,” he said. “It’s a very time consuming process but in the end it’s quite worth it.”

Belfi too, said promot-ing her research has been one of the most difficult aspects of her campaign.

“It definitely takes a lot of time and effort to try and get the word out there about your research because that’s the most import thing,” she said. “It’s kind of hard to put yourself out there…but you have to with crowd-funding.”

UI neurology and psy-chology professor Daniel Tranel said crowdfund-ing can be an innovative way for scientists to gain funding, but it is import-ant that traditional fund-ing measures are not for-gotten.

“A lot of our research depends on fairly large budgets,” Tranel said. “So it’s hard to do too much [with just crowdfund-

ing].”Wu maintained that

this form of earning rev-enue provides more than just monetary value.

“Where crowdfund-ing is really powerful is where we can build a community of people

that all really care about one topic and rally them together to make some-thing they really, truly care about happen.”

OpiniOns Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.— FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTIONSexism isn’t funny

COLUMN

I was talking to my best friend last night about how messy my room was a week ago and she said to me, “You need to learn to cook and clean, or you’ll never find a good man.”

Neither of us actually thinks that women should subscribe to such ridic-ulous prescribed gender roles, so I thought what she said was pretty hilar-ious. I joke around about sexist stereotypes like that all the time with my friends because:

It’s really funny and I also feel that addressing issues with humor is a good way of raising aware-ness about them.

However, I came upon some studies recently that have been making me question whether it’s really such a good idea for me to be saying things like “Girl, get back in the kitchen” — even if it’s just a joke.

Social psychology re-searchers at the Univer-sity of Iowa conducted a study to determine whether sexist hu-mor has broader social consequences related to societal sexism. And [not surprisingly] the current research suggests that sexist humor creates a context that justifies the oppression of women.

For the study, 80 male participants ranging from 18 to 65 were randomly exposed to sexist jokes, sexist statements, or neutral jokes. Seventy-two participants displayed high levels of hostile sexism —characterized by characterized by antag-onistic attitudes toward women, particularly those who defy traditional gen-der roles — and they re-ported greater support for beliefs that justify societal sexism after exposure to sexist jokes than upon exposure to neutral jokes or non-humorous sexist

statements.A research project led

by a Western Carolina University psychology pro-fessor a few years ago also indicated that jokes about women making sandwich-es and PMS are not just hoopla; instead, exposure to sexist humor can lead to toleration of hostile feel-ings and discrimination against women.

It’s as if there’s no win-ning when you’re a wom-an. Unfortunately, trying to co-opt sexist humor doesn’t delegitimize it, it just reinforces its presence in society, regardless of the motives of the person making such jokes.

I mean, when I think about it, how much good can spewing ignorant shit about problematic perva-sive ideas really do?

By making a joke out of complex attitudes that have lasting effects on the lives of women, we are normalizing these stand-points and also providing too much leeway for peo-ple who hold oppressive and discriminatory views to get away with their obnoxious beliefs.

These jokes have been said over and over so many times that the assumption upon hear-ing them is that they’re meant sardonically. However, as the studies show, many people who mean them sincerely are able to hide behind this assumption.

That’s why it’s import-ant for us to reflect on our choice of words because the words we use do have a meaning, and they do have residual effects. It seems that we, as a soci-ety, are at a point where we’ve repeatedly been exposed to sexism in so many different contexts that it doesn’t even upset people anymore — which is extremely problematic. We are so engulfed by sexism that we often don’t even recognize it when it’s happening right in front of our eyes.

It’s silly to try to reclaim sexism when it’s something that isn’t worth claiming in the first place.

As the U.S. government shutdown enters its second week, not much seems to have changed for most Americans. The Postal Service is still running, as well as other essen-tial functions. But one government program that provides help for millions of Americans is in danger of running out of funding.

Nearly 9 million Americans rely on Women, Infants, and Children, a U.S. Department of Ag-riculture program that provides grants to states for supplemental food, health care referrals, and nutrition education. The program is available for low-income recent mothers and children up to 5 years old.

One of the most vital aspects of the program is the assistance it provides to newborns and nurs-ing mothers, covering the cost of often-expensive baby formula and other health needs. In John-son County, the program provides a child health clinic that offers immunizations, physical ex-aminations, and a maternal health program for pregnant women, among other services.

However, because of the suspension of funds as a result of the shutdown, it was originally thought that states would only be able to run the program for around a week, according to a Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Service memo. Fortunately, the USDA has announced that it will fund the program through the end of Oc-tober.

Although it has been granted a temporary re-prieve, programs such as this creep ever clos-er to running out of funding as the government shutdown continues, thanks to partisan politics in Washington.

In Iowa, stopping the program would mean that thousands of low-income women and their children could lose their aid.

In 2011, 76,126 Iowan children used Women, Infants, and Children, among other programs. Among those children, 22.5 percent were 0-5 months old, and 70.2 percent were under 3.

There are approximately 22,000 program ben-

eficiaries in Johnson County alone.Though the government shutdown may not

end anytime soon, Congress can and should take action to fund certain programs in the interim. An ideal solution to the suspension of these pro-grams would be to negotiate a deal to the govern-ment shutdown entirely. In the absence of that, Congress needs to ensure that vital programs, such as Women, Infants, and Children, are kept funded indefinitely, even if they cannot agree on a larger measure to reopen the government.

For low-income mothers and children, there often is no safety net. Many single mothers are forced to work full-time, sometimes with several jobs, as well as provide for their children. Pro-grams such as Women, Infants, and Children help these families not only to stay healthy, but also to stay alive.

At this point, it’s not yet lights out for the pro-gram, but that most aspects of a program that provides invaluable assistance to families are at risk should concern everyone.

The government shutdown may not seem to di-rectly affect many other than furloughed federal workers, at least at first, but as funding sources continue to dry up and more and more public programs are affected, it will grow increasingly difficult for those that rely on government assis-tance the most to get by.

If a compromise is not reached in Congress soon, Women, Infants, and Children and many other government programs will go dark when the river of government funds runs dry.

Every day that passes makes the personal and economic effect of the shutdown worse; it must end as soon as possible.

IC unaffordableAnd we thought the damage

caused by the floods had a negative and long-lasting impact.

A silent and subtle storm is forming, beginning to wreak havoc on our local community.

Why is the Iowa City area no longer able to accommodate working families? Here are a few reasons.

Rents are rising faster than incomes.

New rental units are not priced for those earning less than 50 percent of area median income ($38,000 for a family of four). The rule of thumb is no one should spend more than 30 percent of income for housing

costs. For a family earning $25,000 per year, they can only “afford” $625 per month; the citys three-bedroom rental average is $1,016.

Mobile homes are disappearing gradually as no financing exist to replace them (because of the extinction of subprime lenders the past five years); the average age of local mobile home is more than 35years old.

Subsidies such as Section 8 are be-ing reduced and, in some apartment complexes, eliminated altogether.

The rental market is super tight: a local private study found approxi-mately a 0.5 percent vacancy rate this year; 5-6 percent vacancy rate is considered the national average. The

demand by the student population, by professionals earning more than 60 percent of area median income (is this the new definition by government officials of workforce housing?), and by retirees who find the greater Iowa City area an attractive place in which to retire all put pressure on the wider housing market

Today is U.N. World Habitat Day. It is intended to cause us time to reflect on housing issues, locally and globally. In recognition of World Habitat Day, a public forum will be held at Zion Lutheran Church. Three housing professionals will speak to describe the struggles of local families to afford roofs over their heads. The public and all candidates for public

office are encouraged to attend to ask questions and brainstorm solutions.

We all need safe, decent, and affordable housing. What can we do to help the single mom earning $12 an hour afford groceries, clothing, transportation, and other basic living expenses? What can we do to make sure our community is an inclusive, not exclusive, place to live? We have been blessed with many resources in Iowa: How do we best share our gifts with those who take care of our children, cook our food, and clean our floors?

Drop derogatory nicknames

The NHL season is upon us, which means Iowa City is filled again with a pleth-ora of Chicago Blackhawk jerseys. Team spirit is fine, but another Blackhawk season raises the old ques-tion again: Why are these and other uses of Native Americans as mascots socially acceptable?

These mascots — Black-hawks, Redskins, Indians, etc. — are used to reinforce savage-warrior stereotypes of Native Americans that date back to the arrival of Europeans in North Amer-ica. Many commentators trot out anecdotal evidence of Native Americans who say these nicknames don’t offend them, but generally speaking, the theoretical arguments for keeping Native American mascots around are weak. If teams used other minorities and stereotypes as mascots,

they would be instant-ly vilified and forced to change.

You may argue that other ethnicities are used by teams all the time, which makes it OK for the use of teams such as the Minnesota Vikings, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Bos-ton Celtics, and Montréal Canadiens. The problem with this argument is that other ethnicities are used entirely differently. The difference between these teams and the Black-hawks, Cleveland Indians, Washington Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs, etc., is that those teams were founded by those groups of people. The Vikings are based in Minnesota, a state with a large Scandi-navian ancestry that takes pride in having this sports team represent them. The Boston Celtics are based in Boston, which has a large Irish-American population. Likewise, Notre Dame is a university founded by Irish Catholics. The Montréal Canadiens were, you guessed it, founded to represent French Cana-diens in Montréal. There is nothing wrong with these mascots, names, and logos because the people they

are representing use them. This is a way for people

of similar backgrounds to come together to support the local team. Teams with Native-American logos, on the other hand, have historically used these as negative warrior stereotypes to rally largely white fan bases behind the “noble savage.” This is not OK.

You may argue that these nicknames are used respectfully, but there is no respect. Anyone who has been to a live sporting event, whether it includes alcohol or not, knows how fans act toward the opposing team. The person next to you or maybe you and your friends yell obscenities and insults. If you have ever been to a game that includes one team with a Native Amer-ican mascot, it gets much worse. Simple curses turn into hate speech. Shouts of “Scalp the Indians” are common. This is not respect, and neither is a drunken idiot in war paint yelling fake chants.

You may argue that it’s simply tradition, but tradition is never enough reason to keep something around. Other forms of

discrimination towards Native Americans used to also be tradition. While sports teams have created mock ceremonies for sporting events, Native Americans have often been discriminated against and not allowed to perform religious ceremonies. Such discrimination could hardly be written off as tradition.

But forced use of Native American mascots is not so different from other kinds of discrimination. Ultimately, it is a con-tinuation of the forced assimilation that has characterized the history of the Native American in the United States. Their land was taken, and they were forced into “civilized society.” Many refused to do so and wanted to retain their own identity and sovereignty.

The use of Native Americans as mascots is an attempt to bring this independent identity into mainstream culture, a continuation of forced assimilation. Native Amer-ican mascots don’t honor Native Americans, they merely capitalize on the one asset that couldn’t be stolen — their identity.

encouraging locals to get involved and donate to the project.

Becci Reedus, the exec-utive director of the Cri-sis Center, said the 1105 Project grew out for the need to expand parking. When she found that the Free Lunch Program as well as the Domestic Vi-olence Intervention Pro-gram were also in search of new locations, the idea for a joint location began.

“The first year that we’re in the building is going to be interesting to see the kinds of ideas that we have as a group of four agency leaders,” Reedus said.

The four agencies working together in one building makes more sense for their clients, shesaid. Finding a person who utilizes more than one of these agencies at any given time is not un-common she said.

Christine Scheetz, the president and CEO of United Way of Johnson and Washington Coun-ties, said having all of these resources under one roof will help people with a variety of needs get help in a more expe-dient fashion.

“Initially, the immedi-ate needs are being ad-dressed, but over time from people being able to access services in a very coordinated way, the needs are ultimately re-duced and people are on the way to greater stabil-ity,” Scheetz said.

For domestic-violence victims, the 1105 location will provide security and access that was previous-ly less accessible, said Jan Leff, the head of the Crisis Center Board of Directors.

“This building will pro-vide a public storefront for [the intervention program],” she said. “In the past, its location has been hidden, and now a future client could come here under the supposi-tion that he or she is go-ing to go to free lunch, or they’re going to go to the Crisis Center … without jeopardizing your safety or your children’s safety too.”

The domestic-violence portion of the building will have a security sys-tem to ensure clients will have a safe area in which to seek help.

John Spitzer, the Crisis Center treasurer, said he looks forward to the op-portunities this new area can bring to the county.

“I hope to see a very well-functioning building

that houses these four agencies and see the col-laborative nature of the work that we’ve started continue,” Spitzer said.

President Mark Nolte expressed similar sen-timents. Nolte provides business development as-sistance to existing and emerging companies for the development group,

which works to help local entrepreneurs.

“We are seeing more startup activity and try-ing to become more of a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship,” he said. “The state has done a great job creating a contin-uum of programs to help fund more innovative com-panies along with its more

traditional approaches to economic development.”

The UI’s entrepreneur-ial efforts focus primarily on supporting students. One example is the Bedell Entrepreneurship Learn-ing Laboratory, which is regarded as one of the leading entrepreneurship organizations at the uni-versity level in Iowa.

“I think the Bedell Lab-oratory is incredibly bene-ficial to students,” UI en-trepreneurial marketing lecturer Joe George said. “It gives students that have a business idea an opportunity to actually start that business under the watchful eye of several different teachers, wheth-er it be from an accounting

standpoint, from a mar-keting standpoint, from a sales standpoint, or from a strategic planning stand-point.”

While UNI also has its own resources for stu-dents, this new project is meant to complement the university’s student-di-rected efforts by strength-ening the professional sec-

tor in Iowa, and make the state a friendlier place for business owners.

“The bottom line is we’re trying to create ad-ditional investment and jobs,” Bowen said. “The community members have to do the work. We’re just providing them with a process to hopefully reach their goals.”

affecting the people they say they’re fighting for.”

Loebsack said because he had some down time before members return to the Capitol this evening, he felt he could spend his time usefully by visiting

his home ground. However, Rep. Gary

Worthan, R-Storm Lake, argued his time in Iowa was not well-spent.

“He should probably be in D.C. working on trying to find a compromise to get this settled,” he said. “There’s a fine line be-tween getting feedback from constituents and coming back just to get

your name in the paper and grab some headlines.”

And although taxpayers paid for his trip to Iowa, Loebsack maintained the visit was the best thing for him to do.

“I do what I can to try to balance my time in Iowa and my time in Washing-ton,” he said.

University of Iowa As-sociate Professor of politi-

cal science Timothy Hagle said although predictions are hard to make, if a piece of legislation aimed at bringing the govern-ment out of the shutdown is brought to the floor, he is not convinced a majority agreement will be reached by midnight tonight.

He does, however, fore-see pressures on Congress will rise as the country

comes closer to hitting the debt ceiling come mid-Oc-tober.

“Once we get out of October, if they are still in this shutdown, then things get very, very seri-ous,” he said. “[My guess would be] we’ll likely see some sort of a solution be-fore the end of the month, but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to hurt until

then.”Loebsack, too, said he

could not come to a defi-nite prediction, but he is hopeful the shutdown will end soon.

“I wouldn’t counsel patience at all,” he said. “People should be impa-tient. This is unaccept-able. There is nothing to be patient about. This has to be done now.”

QUOTED

PRIME PLAYS IOWA GAME BALLJames Morris Down 6 points to begin the fourth quarter, Iowa lined up to return a Michigan State punt

on fourth and 7. But instead of punting, Spartan punter Mike Sadler kept the snap and streaked 25 yards up the field. The play extended the Spartans’ drive, which ended with a field goal to give Michigan State a two-score lead. Sadler out-rushed the entire Iowa team on the fake punt.

Down 3 points with under than two minutes to go in the first half, Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock slung the ball underneath to tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz for a 10-yard touchdown. Rudock completed 11-straight passes in the second quarter, and the score gave Iowa a 14-10 lead going into halftime.

Morris played like a senior captain, amassing 12 tackles and an interception against the Spartans. That was Morris’ third interception of the season; he is 13th all-time on Iowa’s list of leading tacklers with 336 career stops.

‘I think any team is better if it’s balanced, and you have to be able to run the ball effectively. Again, we didn’t think we’d come in getting 280 on these guys. That wasn’t our thought coming in. But we were hoping that we could run it effectively. The way they’re built, they make it very difficult to do that, and they’re playing good team defense, period. They did a year ago, as well. So we knew it was going to be a tough challenge. We weren’t naïve to that by any stretch.’ — Iowa HEaD CoaCH KIRK FERENTz

Cook was a magician against Iowa, completing more than half of his passes for 277 yards and 2 touchdowns. It was just his fourth career start, but Cook had all the answers for the looks the Hawkeye defense gave him. He also made plays with his feet, running for 21 yards on 6 carries

THUMBS UP LOOK AHEAD

THUMBS DOWN

Next man in. Iowa was hit with devastating injuries throughout the game, losing Mark Weisman, Kevonte Martin-Manley, Dominic Alvis, and Brandon Scherff for periods of time, just to name a few. New players stepped in to replace the regular starters, did an OK job against Michigan State..

Iowa goes into a much-needed bye week following a myriad of injuries in the Michigan State game. Which is the best thing possible for Iowa, because after the week of rest, it takes on conference king Ohio State in Columbus. Iowa will need all its players off the mend if its going to have any chance against Ohio State, a team that has its sights set on crystal footballs.

Special Teams. Iowa gave up a fake punt again, which, quite simply, is unacceptable. Iowa has given up 6 fake punts since the 2010 season. Something’s gotta give.

General and unsolicited

advice:

• Be careful around chalk outlines on the ground … that’s where they always

find dead bodies.• While driving your car,

there is no need to panic when you feel for your car keys in your pocket and

they’re not there.• Made it to (or through)

college but now think the world is a terrible, horrible,

no good, very bad place? Thinking about ending it

all? Two words: law school.• Don’t ask yourself WW-

JD; Jesus died a horrible, painful death when he was

32. Methuselah, on the other hand, lived for 969

years and died peacefully. So always ask yourself, “WW-MD?” — just not out loud or near any government

officials.• Never, under any cir-

cumstances, begin your day by eating an entire suckling

pig. Especially raw.• Only make bets before

you start drinking, never after. Sure, betting some-one $5 you can drink five shots of tequila in under five seconds sounds like a

stupid idea NOW — but not after you’ve had five shots of

tequila.• The worst way to solicit

a prostitute is by asking her, “What’s the price of emis-

sion?”• If you have something

important to say that needs to be taken seriously, always preface your remarks with a shrill “Listen up, sheeple.”

• Never lose your sense of wonder. Or smell. Or car

keys.

Man charged with burglary

An Iowa City man has been accused of stealing items associated with a vehicle.

Michael Corsiglia, 19, was charged Sunday with third-degree burglary.

According to an Iowa City police com-plaint, Corsiglia was reportedly spotted by an officer struggling with numerous items and carrying a flashlight.

He tried to walk away from the officer, but the officer eventually made contact.

Upon confrontation, the officer observed numerous items in his possession including tampons, women’s clothing, a GPS, a change purse, and a vehicle manual for a 2006 Chevy Colbalt.

Following the confrontation, the officer searched the surrounding area and found vehicle registration, insurance paperwork, and numerous paystubs.

The vehicle matching the registration was located a half block away from where Corsiglia was located. The registration was in the name of the same person as on the paystubs Prints were found on the vehicle.

Third-degree burglary is an aggravated misdemeanor.

Kerry happy with chemical-weapons progress

BALI, Indonesia — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday that the United States and Russia are “very pleased” with the progress made so far in destroying Syrias chemical-weapons stocks.

Kerry, speaking at a press confer-ence with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, said Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime deserves credit for its compliance with the U.N. Security Council resolution calling for the elimination of the weapons. Kerry

said Assad was not off the hook, but he needs to continue to comply with U.N. demands.

He said it was “extremely significant” that the first weapons were destroyed Sunday, just a few weeks after the resolution passed the U.N. “It is a good beginning, and we should welcome a good beginning,” Kerry said.

Kerry and Lavrov met Monday on the sidelines of an economic summit on the Indonesian resort island of Bali. Their meeting represented the first high-level talks between the two nations since they sealed a deal to secure and destroy Syria’s chemical weapons.

International disarmament inspec-tors began work Sunday to destroy Syria’s estimated 1,000-ton stockpile of chemical weapons. They’re working against a Nov. 1 deadline set by the United Nations last month to destroy the Assad government’s capability to produce the weapons.

Kerry and Lavrov also discussed Iran and its nuclear program. Officials from the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — the United States, China, the Russian Federation, France, and the United Kingdom — and Germany will meet with representatives from Iran in Geneva on Oct. 15 to hold renewed talks on Iran’s nuclear program.

Tehran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and says it is enriching uranium to levels needed for medical isotopes and reactor fuel.

Western powers, including the United States, fear Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb and have im-posed crippling economic sanctions to encourage Iran to curb its enrichment program.

PArAdIng theIr tAlentS

13 Wisconsin on Oct. 23 2010. Badger punter Brad Nortman took the snap on fourth down and ran it 17 yards for a first down. Wisconsin drove 80 yards and took a lead with three minutes left in the game. Bucky hung on to win, 31-30.

In the first game this year, Northern Illinois ran a fake punt that went for more than 40 yards and brought the Huskies to Io-wa’s 9-yard line. The drive ended in a field goal, and Iowa went on to lose by 3.

And then there’s what happened against Michi-gan State.

“We may never try to return one again,” Ferentz said after the game. “It was our thinking — try to get

to the return, and to their credit, they made a good call and that cost us a field goal,”

Ferentz was most likely being facetious with his statement about playing hyper-conservative on punt returns, but hear me out: Never bothering to re-turn a punt, and just send-ing a preventive defensive unit and letting the ball fall harmlessly to the turf without sending a man to

field it may not be such a bad idea.

Since 2010, Iowa has fielded 62 punts (not count-ing blocked attempts). On 62 chances, Iowa’s return-ers have accumulated 608 yards and 2 touchdowns, for not quite 10 yards per return, which is good but not great. But a solid chunk of those total yards came this year on Sept. 21, when Kevonte Martin-Manley returned four punts for 184

yards and 2 touchdowns against the Broncos. Take those numbers away, and Iowa has been averaging just 7 yards per punt re-turn since 2010, with no touchdowns.

It’s not like a punt re-turner would be missed. Iowa doesn’t get Devin Hesters; it won’t ever win a game based on a stellar punt return. Iowa hard-ly utilizes a punt return-er as a weapon anyway,

usually employing more sure-handed players at the position over those who may be more dangerous with the ball in the open field.

Treating the punter as a threat may sound a bit like playing to not lose rather than playing to win, but it still sounds a whole lot bet-ter than allowing four fake punts to go for first downs over the course of three seasons.

but each time the Hawks were able to storm back and keep it close.

The Black and Gold came out of the gate hot and managed to run away with the first two sets, 25-20 and 25-23, thanks large-ly in part the the dominant play of the frontline, led by outside hitter Alex Lovell and middle blocker Allie Dietz.

“I think what gives us a lot of success is when the setters have the confidence to mix up who they give the ball to,” Dietz said. “It takes a lot of pressure off of the hitters and just makes

everything a little bit fast-er on our side and lets us control the match.”

The Hawks’ inexperience began to show a little in the third and fourth sets — they hung back and let the Gophers dictate the pace of play. While they managed to tie the score three sepa-rate times in the final set, Minnesota was able to shut it down in the end, taking advantage of three Iowa free balls on the match point.

“I thought Minnesota’s two seniors played like two seniors who play for a top-ranked team that’s is down 2-0 should play,” Dingman said. “They did a tremen-dous job for their team, and it made a big difference for them.”

As far as a learning expe-rience goes, Dingman said it depends on how the play-ers react.

“I hope we can find out what we learned, because the only way we’re going to know what we learned is if we’re in this situa-tion again,” she said. “The way we’ve played the last two matches, certainly we’ve learned a lot about ourselves and the level at which we’re capable of com-peting.”

Had Iowa won, it would have been its first victory over a top-10 opponent in school history, and while the Hawkeyes fell short in the end, the game served as a reminder to everyone in attendance that this team can hang

with the best in the con-ference.

“I learned that our team has a lot of passion and heart in what we do,” fresh-man Alyssa Klostermann said. “From experience, people like to overlook us, and tonight, I think, we definitely showed that we don’t give up and we’re in every single game, and I think Minnesota was a lit-tle stunned to see that.”

tied at zero for just over 105 minutes, Iowa domi-nated most aspects of the game and had plenty of scoring opportunities.

The Hawks outshot the Spartans 23-6, making it 11 out of 13 games this season where the Hawks have outshot their oppo-nents. Of the Hawkeyes’ 23 shots attempted, 14 of them were recorded as shots on goal — a .608 shot on goal percentage.

“What was good was we were getting quali-ty chances,” head coach Ron Rainey said. “We’ll work on finishing a little bit more next week, but all these games over the next few weeks will be 1-goal games, and it was great to be on the right side of one today.”

However, on each shot

the Hawks attempted, Michigan State goalkeep-er Gabrielle Gaurud-er was usually on the receiving end, keeping them from reaching the back of the net. Gauruder finished the game with 11 saves.

The Hawks’ best scor-ing chances came late in the second half including a few shots that hit off the post and a couple that were corralled by a diving Gauruder.

The Hawks closest scoring chance came with just 18 seconds re-maining in the second half; Anne Marie Thom-as headed a cross into the back of the net and looked to give the Hawks the victory without over-time. But referees called the goal off because of a foul on Thomas.

“I think that was when we all got up and were like, ‘OK, it’s going to happen,’” Pickert said. “I

think it just fired us up.” The Hawks put the

game away in the second overtime when a Pickert free kick ricocheted off of Thomas and into the right side of the net.

The score was the third goal of the season for Thomas and Pickert’s third assist through 13 games.

The Hawks dominated the Spartans defensively en route to posting their seventh shutout of the season. Iowa not only held Michigan State to a single digit shot total but only allowed two shots in the second half — neither of which were on target.

“Usually, our defense is really good about throw-ing their bodies in front

of the ball, trying not to get any shots off,” goal-keeper Hannah Clark said. “They did really well.”

The victory pushes the Hawkeyes win total to double digits for the fifth time in program history and the third year in a row — another first for the program. The Hawks currently sit with a re-cord of 10-3-0, and2-3-0 in the Big Teen.

“This was a great Big Ten game. Both teams worked really hard,” Rainey said. “We kept plugging away. We had some moments of frus-tration, but then we kept plugging away, which was awesome to see, and it led to that goal in the end.”

Bullock’s carries contin-ued. Weisman did return in the second quarter but received no carries in the entire second half.

Martin-Manley’s injury was low-key. One minute he was there, and the next he was gone, and it was an-nounced early in the third quarter that he wouldn’t return. Scherff and Davis were able to return after

their injuries, but Alvis did not.

“It could just be a freak thing,” linebacker James Morris said when asked whether the game’s physi-cality was the cause of the numerous injuries. “You never really know with injuries. Some injuries are just from where a helmet hits or how a foot lands, all those type of things.”

Like any team, the Hawkeyes are proponents of having the next option on the depth chart always available for play. But just

because the team pre-pares for such an occasion doesn’t mean that the tal-ent always lives up to his predecessor.

Andrew Donnal, who briefly replaced Scherff, was called for a clipping in the third quarter, the catalyst for what would end up with a punt, for example.

“We always stress next man in,” Scherff said. “You have to be ready to go. You shouldn’t drop off a level — you should play with the same intensity at the same

level. We just have to keep improving.”

Quarterback Jake Ru-dock said he didn’t feel uncomfortable without fa-vorite target Martin-Man-ley on the field, but it was clear that the receiving game was struggling for the entire second half. Io-wa finished the game with 241 passing yards, but most were accumulated in the first half, particularly in the second quarter.

“Whoever’s up has to be ready to go,” he said. “If he wasn’t in there, he wasn’t

in. You just have to under-stand who you do have in and say, ‘Hey, let’s go; let’s play full throttle.’ ”

Now, the Hawkeyes are looking at a bye week to regroup after the loss, fo-cusing on getting back in good health and watching film and figuring out how to get back to the team that gains more than 23 rush-ing yards.

“You’re going to play good teams week in and week out in the confer-ence,” Ferentz said. “That’s just how it is. We knew

that when we signed up. We’ll be ready to com-pete two weeks from now. We’ll be ready to compete again.”

Soccer wins in 2 OT

michigan state 26, iowa 14

The Iowa volleyball team gained valuable experience in their home loss to Minnesota.

Despite giving up three-straight sets and losing 3-2 to No. 8 Min-nesota, the Iowa volley-ball team maintains that the loss was a learning experience with positive takeaways.

While that may not sound like something to tout as an accomplish-ment, both the coach-es and players say the game was valuable.

“We’ve never been in this position before,” head coach Sharon Ding-man said after the game. “We haven’t been up 2-0 and then 2-1 on a top ranked team like Minne-sota in a long time.

A long time is an understatement. The first two sets that the-Hawkeyes won on Oct. 5

were just the second and third sets they’ve won against a Big-Ten oppo-nent since October 2012, a period that spans al-most a full calendar year as well as 17 Big Ten games.

“We hadn’t been up on a top ten team in a long time, and I thought we looked like it,” Dingman said. “We got pretty ten-tative and looked like we stopped having fun, par-ticularly in the fourth set and just kind of lost our-selves a little bit. Howev-er, we regrouped well in the fifth and fought right until the very end,”

Despite the obvious difference in outcomes, all five sets of the match were pretty similar. Min-nesota was able to go up several points early on,

The Iowa soccer team defeated its second Big Ten opponent on Sunday, taking down Michigan State, 1-0, in double overtime.

This is the second time this season that the Hawks have played in an overtime match — both resulted in wins.

“Today, it felt like peo-ple really believed it was going to happen,” junior

Melanie Pickert said. “I think that helped in that we didn’t stop. We just kept firing, and we got a break.”

The Hawkeyes came into the Michigan State game a relatively healthy squad, and left battered by a strong Spartan defense.

The Iowa Hawkeyes were a healthy football team heading into the Oct. 5 matchup against the Michigan State Spartans.

Were. Running back Mark Weis-

man, wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley, offensive tackle Brandon Scherff, defensive line-men Carl Davis and Dominic Alvis, and linebacker Christian Kirksey all missed time in Io-wa’s biggest matchup to date, in which the squad needed to fire on all cylinders to survive. But head coach Kirk Ferentz said after the game that all of the in-juries were “pretty minor.”

“The bye week probably

comes at a good time,” he said in his postgame interview. “Hope-fully, all those guys will be back at full speed.”

The onslaught of injuries comes not even a week after Ferentz said — with a knock on wood — that things have been “so far, so good” as far as injuries after five games in his weekly press conference.

“Just like wind affects a game, I think injuries affect any team — especially teams like us,” he said on Oct. 1.

Running back Mark Weisman was the first. Suspicion arose when Damon Bullock was re-ceiving carries on third and 1 early in the first quarter. Then

Commentary: Iowa is 1-3 since 2010 in games where the other team has attempted fake punts.

Iowa was primed and ready to start the fourth quarter of the Oct. 5 game against Mich-igan State with the ball. The Hawkeyes had just forced a three and out on the Spartans, and they were about to punt the pigskin to Iowa from their own 37.

Instead of giving Iowa pos-session and a chance of gaining a lead, Michigan State punter Mike Sadler took the snap and ran 25 yards up field for a first down and an opportunity for his squad to build on its 6-point lead. To add insult to injury, Sadler outgained all of Iowa’s rushers for the day on that sin-gle play.

The fake punt play was called

“hey diddle diddle, send Sadler up the middle,” said Michigan State head coach Mark Danto-nio after the game, which is cute. What isn’t cute is that Iowa has given up a first down on fake punts four times since 2010, and three of those times Iowa lost the games. The Hawkeyes have also fallen victim to two fake field-goal attempts during that span.

In 2010, Eastern Illinois con-verted a fake punt to make the game against Iowa interesting in the second quarter. Iowa went on to win 37-7. But after that game, every fake punt seems to be a nail in the metaphorical coffin for the Iowa football team.

Iowa was up 30-24 with eight minutes to go against No.

Michigan stops Hawk field hockey

The No. 15 Iowa field-hockey team lost to No. 19 Michigan on Oct. 5 in Ann Arbor, 3-2.

Iowa (5-5, 0-2) got off to a hot start, going up 2-0 less than 7:30 into the game.

Freshman Stephanie Norlander marked her return to the Hawkeyes from international play at the 4:27 mark of the match, when she put a rebound off a penalty corner past fifth-year senior Haley Jones to open the afternoon’s scoring.

A few moments later, sophomore Natalie Cafone dribbled through the circle and put a shot in up high past Jones to give the Hawkeyes a 2-0 advantage at the 7:14 mark.

That was all the scoring the Hawkeyes got on the afternoon, and they gave up 3 unanswered goals to the Wolverines (6-5, 1-1).

At the 20:44 mark, sophomore emy Guttman beat Hawkeye goal-keeper Kelsey Boyce on a rebound after the fifth-year senior made an initial save. Quickly after, sophomore Shannon Scavelli received a feed from Rachael Mack and dribbled around a charging Boyce to tie the game at the 23:20 mark.

The final goal of the game came from Mack, who entered the day as the Big Ten’s leading scorer; she beat Boyce stick side to give Michigan its third goal at the 39:18 mark.

Michigan outshot Iowa 11-7, and penalty corners favored the Maize and Blue 8-3.

Next up for the Hawkeyes is a date with Missouri State at Grant Field on at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
