Check out lawn displays

220 Main www.amessilversmithing.com 232-0080

The sound of hammers, drills and saws can be heard throughout the greek com-munity as members prepare for lawn dis-play skits.

Seven out of the 13 house pairings for homecoming are constructing a lawn dis-play depicting a famous landmark from Iowa State that fits into the homecoming theme “Highlight of the Year.”

Each group has a budget of $3,100 to spend on material, lighting and other ex-penses for their lawn display. The display is judged on originality, craftsmanship, motion, lighting and compliance to the overall homecoming theme.

“Iowa State is the only university that has lawn displays,” said Aaron Williams, member of Homecoming Central Committee and sophomore in agricul-

tural business. “Alumni love to come back and see this unique tradition each year,” Williams said. Last year more than 2,000 people watched the displays.

Zach Preston, chairman for home-coming for Alpha Gamma Rho, said the planning for lawn displays began almost immediately after classes start at the be-ginning of the semester.

Each year the lawn displays get bigger and better, Preston said. Alpha Gamma Rho, Gamma Phi Beta and Theta Chi won bragging rights for lawn display last year. Alpha Gamma Rho has placed in the top two the past three years.

Each pairing turned in a patent that included the rough sketch of the display Sept. 24. A pairing includes a large frater-nity, sorority and a small fraternity. The building began Sept. 25 and will continue until 6:00 p.m. Oct. 29 before the judging begins.

Each group writes a 5- to 10-minute skit that they will perform on Friday night during ExCYtement in the Streets. The skit is judged on creativity, costumes, sounds and overall appearance.

Lawn displays have had a long-stand-ing tradition in the greek community dur-ing Homecoming Week. Dwayne Faidley, president of Alpha Gamma Rho in 1994, said people really took ownership of their lawn displays when he was in a fraternity. “Some of the guys lived out in the front yard.”

“Each year brings the same events with new excitement. It is really all about mak-ing the most of the experience,” said Andy Pringnitz, president of Farmhouse. “If you work hard and have fun along the way, any additional recognition is a bonus.”

A panel of university and community representatives will begin the judging around 8:00 p.m. Oct. 29.

Tournaments, like Yell Like Hell and Lawn Displays, have been a homecoming tra-dition for many years, and help bring students together for fun games and activities.

This year, tournaments will be held for laser tag, soc-

cer, basketball, indoor vol-leyball, treds football and Nintendo 64.

There is also an Olympics event, which will consist of Tug-O-War, Ice-Cream Eating Contest, Fooseball and Badminton.

Participation regulations outline that Cardinal Division

teams competing in tourna-ments are only allowed to use members of their respective organizations.

Also, only one team per or-ganization will be allowed to participate in each homecom-ing tournament.

Sportsmanship points will be given to each organization

at the beginning of the first tournament.

Any team that gets 100 percent participation in all of its registered tournament events (including homecom-ing olympics) will be awarded with 30 extra points — which is the equivalent of a fifth-place finish in an individual

tournament.The events will take place

in locations both on and off campus, including the Lied Recreation Athletic Center, the Towers fields, Perfect Games, Forker Gym and the Alumni Center Reiman Ballroom.

All tournaments are free,

and all winning teams receive a free Homecoming 2010 tour-naments T-shirt. Along with Saturday football, the week-end’s calendar includes: vari-ous tournaments, free concert, pancake feed, LSI’s annual fundraiser, homecoming tail-gate and mass campaniling and fireworks.

ExCYtement in the Streets is a homecoming tradition that includes lawn display skits by the greek com-munity and performances by student organizations and clubs that were in-vited to participate.

Homecoming Central Committee has been working to increase non-greek participation in the Friday night activities, so several clubs will be present to provide a show. While the Tir Asleen Medieval Combat Society is in combat, the ISU Juggling and Unicycling Club will be performing their fire show to heat things up, and the Judo, Hapkido, and Taekwondo Clubs will be showing off their moves. Come enjoy the show on Friday at ExCytement in the Streets!

It will take place around the greek houses between Lincoln Way and Knapp Street from 8 to 10 p.m. on Oct. 29.

From mid September through October, members of campus’ so-rorities and fraternities gear up for one of the loudest traditions at Iowa State, Yell Like Hell.

For 47 consecutive years, fren-zied greek students have dominated central campus during Homecoming Week by creating hubbub. As a way to show Cyclone pride, students paint their bodies in cardinal and gold and perform choreographed dance routines, all the while main-taining a deafening, shrilling and roaring yelling.

With the intention of promoting and fortifying school spirit, student integration and involvement, Yell Like Hell was introduced in 1963, and has grown to be more than a long preserved practice.

Chi Omega pledge Cerella Carlson said participating in Yell Like Hell has been a gateway to meet more people.

“I wanted to get to know more of the girls in my house, in addition to becoming active in my sorority.”

“Yell Like Hell is a Homecoming tradition that consists of a five min-ute skit featuring the Homecoming theme and the Iowa State fight song. The skit is yelled and choreography is set to chants that are unique to every group,” said Joseph Trpkosh, senior in music education and Yell Like Hell coordinator.

Sororities and fraternities team up and undergo three rounds of elimination. The first cuts feature all

the Yell Like Hell skits — 13 for 2010. The pairings all wear their Yell Like Hell T-shirts and they are judged in six categories.

Second cuts feature the top seven groups.

These groups get painted from head to toe and perform on Central Campus.

Third cuts, like second cuts, hap-pen on Central Campus. The top three skits perform Oct. 29 during the Homecoming Pep Rally and are again painted from head to toe.

Groups are judged on a point system in the categories: prep and enthusiasm, creativity and unique-ness, yelling expression, movement precision, portrayal of Homecoming theme and incorporation of the im-provisation phase.

Judges are picked from faculty and staff recommendations, Ames community leaders, and some repre-sentatives from the Student Alumni Leadership Council.

Awards are given out to par-ticipants and groups for best over-all performance by an individual, best representation of the 2010 Homecoming theme, best choreog-raphy, best costumes and best script. At each competition round, the Homecoming Central Committee nominates the participants or groups for each award.

“All IFC [Interfraternity Council fraternities] and CPC [Collegiate Panhellenic Council sororities] houses participate in Yell Like Hell; however, this is not a greek-only tradition. When the tradition first

started, residence halls and other organizations participated, too,” Trpkosh said.

Yell Like Hell has progressive-ly turned into an all-greek event. Out of the 22,521 undergraduates from 2009, 11.1 percent were greek students.

The event is nevertheless opened to any student. It is neither manda-tory, nor limited to first-year greek members. Because Homecoming embodies the entire university, par-ticipation is encouraged.

“The actives said that [Yell Like Hell] is a lot of fun. Also, I really wanted to socialize with other frater-nities and sororities, and that’s one of the best ways meet people from the greek community. Now I look back and see that I met a lot of cool people and don’t regret it at all,” said Josh Flott, freshman in mechanical engi-neering and pledge from the Theta Delta Chi fraternity.

With the theme of “Highlight of the Year” this year, the Student Alumni Leadership Council is put-ting together a Yell Like Hell skit that will be performed in the non-competition category. Also, Sigma Nu, a new fraternity on campus, will be participating for the first time this year.

Veterans to the tradition, FarmHouse fraternity and Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity are house-hold names when it comes to Homecoming. Both houses have been titleholders throughout the years following the event’s debut in campus.

“We take a lot of pride in being successful in all aspects of the greek community and Homecoming is no exception. Our fraternity has been able to establish a tradition of excel-lence in association to Homecoming, among other things, and that has been instilled in our members. It is a fun few weeks of activities and the friendly competition between greek houses keeps us motivated to succeed,” said senior in agricul-tural business and member of Alpha Gamma Rho, Justin Van Wert.

On the success of FarmHouse fraternity, Andy Pringnitz, junior in agriculture and life sciences and president of FarmHouse, said “Like most houses, we try to have fun with the whole process. It is really all about making the most of the experi-ence. If you work hard and have fun along the way, any additional recog-nition is a bonus.”

FarmHouse fraternity, who swept first place last year in Yell Like Hell with its pairing with Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Sigma and Phi Beta Chi, promises to continue its legacy as crowd pleasers.

“Each year brings the same events with new excitement. People can expect the pairing of FarmHouse, Theta Chi, and Gamma Phi Beta to have fun and work hard throughout this year’s Homecoming season,” Pringnitz said.

Due to this year’s increase in greek recruitment, Yell Like Hell is expected to be louder and more thrilling than ever all previous events.

This summer’s weather posed a unique problem for the semester’s career fairs as their usual location, Hilton Coliseum, is still being repaired from flood-ing. Career fair ambassadors had to work extra hard to bring in businesses.

123 companies were present at this fall’s Business/LAS fair, which was an increase of about 7 percent from the fall 2009 fair.

Laura Walczak, career fair ambassador, said there have been more interviews this fall than last year at this time. This could be due to the recover-ing state of the economy. In fall 2009, many businesses were still in the process of laying off some of their employees.

Additionally, fall career fairs are typically larger given that companies are looking to imme-diately fill full-time and intern-ship positions before the new year as they move on.

The College of Agriculture hosted its career day Oct. 19 at the Lied Recreation Athletic Center. Mike Gaul, director of career placement for the Agriculture Career Services, said there were roughly 500 in-terviews held, which is around the same amount as last year.

“The ag field is pretty strong compared to other sectors on

campus [in terms of career placement],” Gaul said.

He added that there was also a 7 percent increase of compa-nies at this career fair.

There were 15 new com-panies, from locations such as Germany, California and Alaska.

The field of agronomy, Gaul said, is in high demand given the constant need for food produc-tion around the world consider-ing growing population and diet changes.

Agri-business, food science and veterinary medicine are next in line.

Gaul said students are not getting into this much-wanted

workforce because many pursue graduate school or end up farm-ing on their own. He added that companies expressed disap-pointment in the lack of seniors at the career fair because most of them have already accepted full-time positions or internships.

The College of Engineering was also successful in deliver-ing a high-quality event where companies were able to recruit well-prepared students for many internships and full-time positions, said Roger Bentley, the Engineering Career Fair coordinator.

The Engineering Career Fair had 212 companies registered

for the fair this year compared to 222 last year.

Bentley said company num-bers are strongly correlated to the overall economy and ability for companies to hire and justify travel costs of recruiters and en-gineers coming to Iowa State.

He added that although there was a slight decrease in compa-nies this time around, interview numbers for students were high-er this year compared to last fall.

“As an example of the in-crease, the day after the career fair this fall we ran 715 inter-views in the Memorial Union compared to 646 last year, a 10 percent increase,” Bentley said.

There’s a new spot for ghosts and goblins to stock up on their tricks and treats this year. The Halloween Shop by Celebrations Party and Wedding Store is open this holiday season with costumes, party supplies, dec-orations and more.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to open a Halloween store,” said Stephanie Burnett, owner of Celebrations Party and Wedding Store. “I am a Halloween freak. I just think it’s fun to put on costumes.”

The empty shop next to her business offered the perfect opportunity. The vacant retail store had six dressing rooms and the right environment for Halloween costumes.

More than 750 costumes for all ages adorn the walls and racks of the shop —

“‘Jersey Shore’ costumes have been very popular among the college crowd this year,” Burnett said.

Burnett said vampire costumes and Leg Avenue, a sexier line of costumes, have also been popular.

For the funny guy of the group, the line Rasta Imposta has cleverer outfits with a sense of humor.

College kids aren’t the only target market. Baby and children’s costumes line the shelves as well.

Makeup and accessories are also available in the store. Wigs, weapons, pitchforks and jewelry complete the costumes.

The shop features Mehron makeup line, which is professional, theatrical makeup.

Celebrations plans to keep the makeup line for plays, theatrical events and other dress-up events throughout the year.

Celebrations also has everything needed to throw a Halloween party.

The fog machines Celebrations offers are Burnett’s favorites. The machine blows bubbles that have fog in them. The bubbles burst, giving the room an eerie, foggy glow.

The shop, which has been open since September, will be open through Halloween. From Nov. 1 to Nov. 2, the store will have everything half-off, giving shoppers the opportunity get a head start on next year.

Celebrations Party and Wedding Store has a Facebook fan page with special discounts and events for the Halloween Shop. The shop is located at 546 Main St. in downtown Ames.

Company turnout rises despite floodRelocations didn’t hinder business, student success

Six ISU alumni have taken skills they learned in school and made honorable careers of them.

The College of Business’s Honors and Awards Ceremony will be Oct. 29 at Cornerstone Church and will reward Dan Houston, Allan Landon, Frank Ross, Denise Essman, and Mark and Julie Blake for their achievements.

Houston, Landon and Ross will receive the Citation of Achievement of Award. Houston, a 1984 graduate in marketing, is the president of retirement insurance and financial services at Principal Financial Group.

Landon, who earned a degree in industrial admin-istration in 1970, recently retired as chairman and CEO of the Bank of Hawaii Corporation. The bank was named “America’s Best Bank” by Forbes magazine in December 2009.

Ross, a 1984 accounting graduate, will be recog-nized posthumously, as he passed away of a heart at-tack in June. He was vice president of global commer-cial business with Pioneer Hi-Bred International.

The John DeVries Service Award, which honors alumni who have demonstrated outstanding service to the university, will go to Denise Essman, a 1973 graduate in industrial administration. She served on the ISU Alumni Association board of directors for four years and the ISU Foundation board of governors for 11 years. Essman is president and CEO of Essman/Associates, based in Des Moines.

Mark and Julie Blake will receive the Russ and Ann Gerdin Award, which honors those individuals who did not graduate from the College of Business. Mark gradu-ated in 1977 with a degree in Ag Business, while Julie earned a degree in physical education in 1978. The Mark and Julie Blake Scholarship goes to deserving College of Business students in need.

The eighth annual Stuff the Bus food drive was Oct. 22 and 23. For the event, vol-unteers collected food and hygiene items as well as money donations at all Hy-Vee and Fareway locations in Ames. Those donations were then placed on the CyRides, which were stationed in parking lots of each.

All donations benefited Mid-Iowa Community Action.

Danielle Gibbons, a Stuff the Bus coordi-nator, said the event went by quickly.

“I’d never done [Stuff the Bus] before,” she said. “It went by really quickly, and we did a lot for MICA in just two days.”

Gibbons said the goals for this year’s event were altered due to Cub Foods’ closing.

“With Cub Foods closing, we just want-ed to keep up with what we did last year,” Gibbons said. “Last year we filled three-and-a-half buses, and we made $2,200. I know we made around $2,700 this year, but we’re still waiting to hear how many food and item do-nations we collected.”

While they had originally planned for Cub Foods to participate and even listed them as a location in early advertisements, Cub Foods stopped stocking their shelves in late September, so the Stuff the Bus coordi-nators had to make the difficult decision to not include the store in the event.

“Cub Foods has always been a great help,” Gibbons said. “We’ve always been able to get so many donations from their customers; they’ve always been great. This year, we just had to hope that those people who normally go to Cub Foods would stop by another store to make donations.”

Gibbons said that despite having one less location, they gathered more donations than they expected.

“In the first year [of Stuff the Bus], they stuffed one-and-a-half buses and were so ex-cited,” Gibbons said. She added that the com-munity has learned about the event and now come to expect it.

“The community knew about it ... That shows that it is making an impact on the community.”

While Gibbons said the economy may have affected the number of donations in the last few years, she said she did not think it was an issue this year.

“There were people who could’ve gone in and purchased a couple of dollars worth of food, but instead they gave a $20 bill.”

More than 200 volunteers made the event possible. The greek community, inter-national students and athletes participated.

Shannon Tan, sophomore in chemistry from Singapore, was amazed at the amount

of support Stuff the Bus had.“It was an eye opener,” he said. “This is

my first time doing this kind of thing, and it is interesting to see how people donate freely to help others. It’s a new concept for me.”

He added that in Singapore he was a com-munity leader and volunteered for organiza-tions, none of which were like Stuff the Bus.

Today’s birthday (10/25/10). On the public side, show your power this year by pursuing social and career activities with single-minded purpose. On the family side, relax into recreational mode and share interests with any children in the picture. Luck supports both avenues, so go for it!

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 5 -- Today is all about adapting your own communications to the needs of others. Use fundamental language to reveal a hidden opportunity. This contributes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 5 -- You perceive a problem with cash flow. Someone long-distance contacts you with an opportunity that promises to resolve it. Make a bank transfer.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 6 -- People at work get stuck concerning an old concept. As you think about it, you see a way to transform the difficulty into an opportunity.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 9 -- Make mental adjustments, if you want things to go smoothly. Then tell the person in charge what you’ve discovered. A golden opportunity emerges.
