Runner completes RAGBRAIISU alumnus Richard Kresser set out on a mission on July 21 to run the entire length of RAGBRAI. On July 27, Kresser plopped down in the Mississippi River. His journey was com-plete. “With all the support crews there, it was great,” Kresser said. “The feeling of the crowd there at the end was an absolute incredible experience.” The entire route went smoothly for the most part, Kresser said, with a couple of rough days and a couple of good days to balance the run out.

Q&A
4 | ONE-ON-ONE | Iowa State Daily | Thursday, August 1, 2013
One-on-one with Director of Academic Technologies Jim Twetten
Jim Twetten is a man who has had a long his-tory with technology and with Iowa State. In his 26 years working on campus, he has seen technology go from a simple Tetris game to a full-scale, cloud-computing metropolis. Twetten sat down with the Iowa State Daily to discuss his history with Iowa State, as well as what we can expect to see in its technology-focused future.
What is your position, and what does that mean you do for the university?
I am the Director of Academic Technologies at Iowa State and I work in the Information Technology Services department. Basically that means that my area and my staff have oversight and can impact technology used in the teaching and learning process by faculty all across cam-pus. That’s everything from Blackboard to class-room projectors.
What is your relationship history with the university?
[I have a] fairly lengthy history with the uni-versity. I am an alumni and I have two degrees from Iowa State. My first degree is in speech communication and I actually was a video pro-ducer when I graduated. That was from the telecommunicated arts program that doesn’t exist anymore, but the remnants of it have been folded into journalism. My second degree is again from ISU; it’s a masters in higher educa-tion administration. Not including my time as a student, I’ve been working here for 26 years; quite a while.
What’s your favorite/most rewarding part about what you do?
I get to work with a lot of great students and faculty. I just so enjoy the teaching and learning process and helping others derive more from both… it’s incredibly rewarding.
What is an example of your strangest occurrence while working here?
We had a video production crew from California come out to look at campus. I was the staff member who was supposed to accompany them. The crew was filming in the fall, and it must have been a day where a soybean harvest was going on near campus. In the middle of try-ing to get students to interview, a sudden plague of Japanese beetles descended over campus. That was pretty much the end of their shoot, be-cause every interview was someone on camera swatting the bugs away. They asked if this hap-
pens all the time, but these are the same people who also asked me to turn off the Campanile be-cause it was too loud.
What is ITS working on for the new school year that students can look forward to?
We have a new financial system that was a pretty significant undertaking. We also have an entirely new phone system on campus that is now all cloud-based; we’re one of the first universities in the country to move in that di-rection. We’re also planning on conducting a campus-wide needs assessment that addresses students as well as staff. We’ll ask for opinions/needs pertaining to services like Blackboard, classroom setups, and Internet access.
What is the greatest accomplishment and greatest hardship you’ve had to endure at your job?
I visit people who do the same job as I do, and we have national – and sometimes international – meetings with others about our positions and events relating to information technology. We got a group to form that has periodic symposia to discuss technology on campus, and that group still exists today. Additionally, EDUCAUSE, a professional IT organization, has recently asked me to sit on their committee for teaching and learning for the next three years.
Budget cuts are by far the hardest things to go through here, particularly when they lay off staff. They can happen for many reasons, but they always impact staff that have great jobs and are good at what they do. It’s a difficult thing to do.
If there was one thing about ITS at Iowa State you would change, what is it and why?
I’d like to change the perception that campus has on ITS. We’re frequently viewed as a utility: Those are the guys that run Blackboard; those are the guys that do email; those are the guys that keep our networks up. Those are all good and important, but there’s so much more that ITS does that is not broadly known. It’s difficult to get information out, in part because we’re an administrative group and not always in the flow of academic activities on campus. ITS currently has a very pivotal role in high-performance computing, and I’m pretty sure the majority of campus doesn’t even know that’s going on.
Twetten has been married for 28 years and has two kids, both of whom are Iowa State grad-uates. He said he loves baseball and will go out

Morrill Hall was dreamt up in 1870, only two years af-ter Iowa State opened, when the need for a new building arose. Of course, with the typi-cal political fashion, a library and museum building was ap-proved 20 years later.
Built in 1890 and named af-ter Sen. Justin Morrill, author
of the land-grant legislation, Morrill Hall was constructed. It has quite the history of being a chapel, library, museum and gym, as well as home to bats, bees and one camel.
There was a brief segment of time when the southeast corner of the basement was converted to a barbershop dat-ing from 1905-1908, according to the Iowa State Library, only changing when the basement
was renovated in to a file and office room – the beginning of the administrative use of Morrill Hall.
Bats were a constant both-er. Often flying around the chapel, they would occasion-ally explore other parts of the building thus requiring faculty members to be called upon to capture and release the creatures back into outdoors. The bats would most likely fly

through a hole and return to the interior of the building.
Bees, on the other hand, acquired the most complaints. Many believed they entered the building via deteriorating windows. However, during a minor remodeling project, construction crews found a massive beehive on the third floor of Morrill Hall. The crew then had to call entomology and have the beehive removed – along with a sizeable amount of honey.
Then there was the cam-el. As a circus was parading through downtown Ames sometime in the 1870’s, a cam-el keeled over in the middle of the parade. Billy Brian, a man who loved taxidermy and had
a history of the profession, of-fered to take the carcass off of the circus managers hands free of charge.
Being a hot day in Ames, it didn’t take long to agree to the decision. After being re-stored and given the presence of what seemed to be a crit-ter in good health, the camel was added to the Morrill Hall museum after Bryan gradu-ated. Unfortunately, the camel experienced another death. Details are still unclear wheth-er a pipe burst or water leaked in to the building. Either way, the stuffed camel was soaked – and exploded.
Being deemed unsafe in 1996, the building was on the brink of demolition before
President Greogory Geoffroy announced a private cam-paign in 2002 to raise funds to save and restore the building. Having more than 3,300 do-nors, $7.4 million of the $10.3 million of renovation costs was raised, being one of the largest grassroots fund-raising efforts in Iowa State history.
In 2008, the renovated Morrill Hall became the first building as an Iowa State re-gent institution to achieve LEED certification as well as being the seventh build-ing in Iowa with the designa-tion. Achieving the LEED is a benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance sustain-ability of the building.

College students are nomadic crea-tures by necessity. Moving from high school hometown to campus is the first move most experience, one that may relocate an individual a few scant miles or all the way across the world. From there, we students travel back and forth from home to campus for vacations and holidays several times a year.
At the end of the year, a student may relocate yet again to a job or internship, and when they return to school they move from dorms to apartments. With all this relocation, it’s no wonder most students do not get too attached to any one location.
However, the dangers of such a nomadic lifestyle surface when a situ-ation arises when an individual has no place to call home. At the end of a semester or in the weeks before the beginning of an internship, a student may be forced to crash on the couches of his or her closest friends, clogging their living rooms with cardboard boxes and bins.
Such is the case with students who move between apartments and find themselves stranded for a number of days between leases.
Obviously, if someone is living in one apartment and will continue to live there for the next lease year, there
is no need to move out. However, many students who sub-lease over the sum-mer or decide to move to a different apartment run into trouble.
Maybe being forced to sleep on couches and move all your belong-ings is not exactly the worst fate for a college student, but it is irritating and time-consuming, as well as potentially avoidable.
The easiest “fix” to the problem is for students to be aware of it before signing a lease. Instead of simply assuming everything will work out, examine the details of the lease, espe-cially move-in and move-out dates. If a person’s lease has a move-out date of July 24 but they don’t move into a new apartment until August 6, then he or she should be planning ahead for potential solutions, or find different leasing options.
A harder solution to the “homeless student” situation is to improve com-munication between leasers and those who run the apartment complexes. In many cases, the reason for the early move-out date is so the apartment management has time to have carpet cleaners come in and undo the damage done throughout the lease year.
Undoubtedly, it’s easier for carpet and floor cleaners to do their job if absolutely everything and everyone is
out of the apartment. However, it’s not entirely necessary. If apartment man-agement and leasers could schedule a couple days at the beginning of a lease for cleaners to come through (and for all leasers to be out of the way) then the handful of “homeless” days could be avoided.
At this point, such a solution isn’t in the immediate future. Many larger
complexes will be resilient to the pleas or negotiations of leasers. But without awareness and negotiation, the prob-lem will never be solved. Apartment management in Ames needs to be aware that leasers are unhappy.
But in the meantime, the best thing to do is find a kind friend with a com-fortable sofa.

Almost everyone has been told about the “freshman 15” be-fore entering college, but does anyone heed the warning it presents? Even after seeing the huge amount of weight
my older brother put on while in college, I was still certain that I would be untouched by the clutches of college chubbiness.
Unfortunately, this was not the case. I came to college weigh-ing a slim 150 pounds. After my first year I had reached a weight of 170 pounds. I was still comfortable at this weight as I had previ-ously been thinner than is healthy for my height, but after my first summer working on campus I weighed in at 190 pounds. I gained a total of 40 pounds while at school for a whole year, an incredible amount and obviously a much larger number than 15.
I am not the only one that was affected by this “freshman 15,” or in my case “freshman 40.” Many have been affected by this unhealthy weight gain while attending college. They developed many bad and unhealthy eating habits that most of them car-ried with them through adulthood. Many of us get in the habit of snacking when studying or doing homework. Additionally, many social activities center around food or drinking. No wonder we
put on weight in our first year of college.The truth is that many students transitioning from high
school to college need a reinforcement course in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
In elementary school and high school, everyone was required to participate in gym. This made most of the students healthy, or at least educated students on healthy lifestyles, but once they en-tered college fitness was no longer an important subject. For this reason, many college students fall victim to the freshman 15.
Colleges should require courses in physical fitness. These courses should teach students the importance of healthy eating habits along with healthy life choices. When entering a new type of freedom, such as college, many young people face life-chang-ing decisions. Too many students fall victim to drug and alcohol abuse, along with poor diet and exercise.
According to the American College Health Association, the percentage of overweight and obese college students increased from 24.7 percent in fall 2006 to 29.2 percent in fall 2011. This in-crease shows that more and more college students are falling vic-tim to unhealthy choices. If colleges create a course that teaches basic health, then the percentage of overweight and obese college students would decrease.
A study done by Harvard shows that 56 percent of students
who enroll in America’s colleges and universities graduate within six years but only 29 percent of people who enter two year pro-grams graduate in three years. Some of this could be due to the ris-ing cost of tuition, but it could also be due to new college students embracing poor eating habits and life choices.
Poor health often results in a lack of energy. As a result, stu-dents will find themselves oversleeping or not paying attention in class. A lack of energy can also cause students to do poorly on homework and not study for tests. It is important for students to maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to succeed in school.
Colleges that require their students to take a course showing them the importance of healthy habits will also show parents that they care about their children and their success and well-being. Iowa State provides students with gymnasiums paid for through student fees. If students aren’t taking the opportunity to use what they pay for, their money would be completely wasted.
If more schools provided students with an easily accessible gym and the knowledge of healthy eating, it may result in fewer dropouts and will definitely result in a healthier lifestyle.

Broken bones, sprained knees and wrists, twisted ankles and concussions. It’s all in a day’s work.
Student trainers at Iowa State are given the unique opportuni-ty to stand on the sidelines with players, coaches and other train-ers so as to not only see how to treat game-time injuries, but also perform the actions themselves.
“Mentally, you got to be ready for any situation that could hap-pen because at any time, anybody could go down with a knee in-jury or someone could get a concussion, so you have to be on your toes at all times,” said Jordan Hayes, a junior in athletic training.
However, before student trainers at Iowa State can mend the wounds of the injured, they must be accepted into the program.
Prospective students hoping to gain admission into the ath-letic training program must first complete their freshman year as a pre-athletic training major. During this time, students must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.5, gain 75 hours of on site observation and complete required courses.
After the completion of their freshman year, students must then apply for admission into the athletic training program where a selection committee will interview them.
Junior Matt Geren will be entering his first year in the athletic training program and said the rigors of the program do not stop with admission.
“Iowa state is actually a pretty unique scenario because they throw their first year students into football, so it’s kind of the crash course because, I don’t want to say it’s the staple of the pro-fession, but a lot of athletic trainers want to do football and a lot of other programs won’t do that,” Geren said.
Preparing for the worst
On March 31, 2013, the sports world was rocked by an injury so gruesome that many media outlets refused to show the footage. Kevin Ware, a guard for the Louisville basketball team, suffered a compound fracture in his right leg while trying to block a shot against Duke during the NCAA Tournament.
The following moments were tense as fans turned away and players buckled to the floor in horror. As trainers took to the court to treat Ware the best they could, one could only imagine how to react in such a situation.
“Athletic trainers kind of have to be cool under pressure be-cause something like that doesn’t always happen, so you have to make sure it’s not life threatening first and make sure everyone around them makes space,” Geren said. “If you’re freaking out, the athlete is going to be freaking out and that’s not a good situation.
“What you’d do is cover it up and stabilize him to make sure he’s not going into shock and then get him off the field or court as quickly as you can, get him to a hospital so a physician can make a proper decision after that.”
Wes Sokol, a junior in athletic training, says that preparation
for the worst is key.“You just try to prepare yourself for anything that could hap-
pen. Someone could tear their ACL in an instant and you could never know it,” Sokol said. “We make sure we know what to do when the time comes and prepare ourselves.”
Preemptive action is something student trainers at Iowa State go through before every game. Each trainer is given a job in case of an injury such as Ware’s.
“We do a lot of practicing. Before the football season last year, we went through our emergency action plans. We have those set up and we know who’s going to be doing what incase of an emer-gency,” Hayes said. “We have everything planned out before the game even starts of what would happen in case of an emergency.”
Strictly business
With so much pageantry and action happening inside Jack Trice Stadium or inside Hilton Coliseum, it’s easy for one’s mind to wander into the fan realm. Something athletic trainers cannot afford to let happen.
“It’s very exciting and being on the sideline is great, but you have to make sure that you keep your game face on and remem-ber that you are there for the players and not to watch the game,” Hayes said. “We got to make sure that we’re there mentally. You want to be there, you want to make a good impression.”
Keeping a relationship with the players is important in build-ing trust for injury scenarios, but keeping it a business relation-ship is important, said Sokol.
“When you first see some of the athletes you know, that you’ve seen on T.V., you kind of get star struck, but you have to keep that business mentality because it is your job,” Sokol said. “You can talk to them and make them comfortable, but you can’t be a crazy person on the sidelines.”
The hands-on experience is something the trainers value as a critical learning experience for their futures, not only as trainers, but also as members of society.
“Iowa State athletic training does have a high reputation and giving students that sort of exposure the first year really does help with the quality of the people it produces,” Geren said. “I’m proud to be apart of that.”

In many ways, Fairfield, Iowa, was no different than most overnight stops for RAGBRAI riders: decorations galore, ven-dors lining the downtown area, and tents in every other yard. But something hairy was going on in this small town of less than 10,000 people on the evening of July 26.
With a “Cirque de Fairfield” theme, everything from volun-teers to local statues to building fronts were decked out in handle-bar mustaches. But it was the RAGBRAI participants who made the facial hair more than just a memory and a part of history.
By early afternoon, the south side of the Jefferson County courthouse lawn was cordoned off with orange snow fencing for an event that brought a whole new meaning to “Hold on to your handlebars”. For the first time in RAGBRAI history, participants were attempting a world record: the most people wearing fake mustaches.
“Another community had done this mustache world record and because we had the mustache as part of our logo we thought that would be kind of a fun idea,” said organizer Terry Baker.
Baker was on the committee that brainstormed ideas for Fairfield’s hosting of RAGBRAI before forming a smaller com-mittee to focus on the world record attempt in April. It was there that the seemingly simple task of assembling 4,000 of the 25,000 bikers to wear fake mustaches became a big undertaking.
“It turned out to be a lengthy process,” Baker said. “There is a lot involved in working with Guinness, obviously it’s a world re-cord so they have high standards.”
Soon it was apparent the event was going to be an all-or-noth-ing attempt with the committee making sure to jump through all the hoops to make it happen. Photographers, videographers, tim-ers, and official witnesses were assembled per Guinness protocol.
The rules stated every person was to wear the faux mustaches handed out at the event for five consecutive minutes without re-moving the mustache or leaving the area. Young children were discouraged to participate, as each person who violated the rules was to be disqualified.
As RAGBRAI approached, Guinness sent their approval to go ahead with the attempt. Fairfield was now in the driver’s seat to break the record of 1,532 people donning faux facial hair at Gilda’s LaughFest in Grand Rapids, Mich., earlier in 2013.
As bikers rolled into Fairfield on July 26, the volunteers were hard at work organizing wristbands, fake mustaches, and section numbers for a smooth event. Volunteer June Lowenberg esti-mated more than 70 volunteers worked the event, helping direct people to where they needed to go.
As 5:30 p.m. approached, word had got around about the re-cord-breaking attempt, and a line stretching back for blocks had formed. When the gates opened, the line flowed constantly onto the front lawn of the courthouse for 20 minutes.
“There were times where it was like, ‘OK, are we going to pull this off?’” Lowenberg said. “It’s one of those events that is so sci-
entific and you can get disqualified for something very simple.”Mustaches were handed out and volunteer Michael Halley
started shouting instructions through a megaphone. After all mustaches were applied, the event was about to start.
“I will blow the horn to start the 6 minutes ... and the second horn will signify us making history,” Halley announced through the megaphone.
The horn blew, and time ticked away. “The wave” was started multiple times as a street corner band played a song to help pass the time. Even the scaled-down Statue of Liberty on the court-house lawn was given a mustache.
Finally, it was announced that only 10 seconds remained, and the whole crowd joined in counting down. As the participants
yelled “One!”, a loud cheer, followed by many congratulations and mustache-aided smiles filled the area. For the first time in RAGBRAI history, a world record had been set.
“We [had] well over 2,000 people,” Baker said of the crowd. “It will be in Guinness’ hands soon to be given the official determination.”
The record will have to be reviewed through official wit-ness accounts, photographs and videos. The process could take months to become official, but for now, organizers and partici-pants alike are happy with the event.
“The feedback has been really positive,” Baker said. “The RAGBRAI staff said we did everything they ever asked for, so we are really happy with everything.”
