That is what it is like to try and study our galaxy while we are inside it,” explained Brad Peterson, a lecturer in phys- ics and astronomy, who has studied with Struck for seven years and obtained his Ph.D. from Iowa State last year. “The roll of minor mergers hasn’t been understood as well until recently.” Astronomers have difficulty studying these dwarf satel- lites because they are too small to see in other galaxies, and we are not able to go outside of our own galaxy and look in. That does not mean that their effects aren’t important. “This is the first inkling that a process like this may be impor- tant, but it will take more evidence for this to be expected,” Struck said. Some students on campus, such as Michael Glawe, sopho- more in pre-business, who has taken Astronomy 150, find these new discoveries fascinating. “The universe is such an appallingly vast and mysterious place,” Glawe said. “Finding and learning about new galaxies gives me the perception that not any one country is pioneer- ing, rather, humanity as a whole is setting those new frontiers with each discovery.” There is the chance of more minor and major collisions in the future of our galaxy, but according to Struck, “These are many billions of years away.”

In the political warfare between the parties there seems to be little discussion of what it actually is. What the Buffett Tax actually re- fers to is based on billionaire Warren Buffett’s assertion that rich people, like him, often pay less in tax than those who work for them. While Bill O’Reilly attacks this proposal as “unfair” and questioned what a “fair share” of taxation would be, he never seems to debate the taxa- tion issue itself.

Editor: Michael Belding | [email protected] Thursday, September 22, 2011 | Iowa State Daily | OPINION | 5 Guest column How free from the government are we? see debates over competing ideologies not only in the United States but throughout I the world regarding the structure and purpose of government. One argument rests on the ideas of John Maynard Keynes, a British economist who theorized that economic growth and reduced unemployment can be supported through governmental fiscal policies, including spend- ing to move the economy, decreased interest rates, and placement of certain restrictions on market economics. Another and competing philosophy has come to be known as “neoliberalism,” which centers on a market-driven approach to eco- nomic and social policy, including such tenets as reducing the size of the national government and granting more control to state and local governments; severely reducing or ending governmental regulation over the private sector; privatization of governmental services, industries, and institutions including educa- tion, health care, and social welfare; permanent incorporation of across-the-board non-pro- gressive marginal federal and state tax rates; and possibly most importantly, market driven and unfettered “free market” economics. These tenets taken together, claim those who favor neoliberalist ideals will ensure the individual’s autonomy, liberty, and freedom. Neoliberalism rests on the foundation of “meritocracy”: the notion that individuals are basically born onto a relatively level playing Photo courtesy of Thinkstock field, and that success or failure depends on the individual’s personal merit, motivation, intel- Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of up by your boot straps?

Photograhy Students document ISU experience Freshmen display photos to share their first year By Cole Komma Ames247 Writer

Fresh Fotos gives 12 freshmen the chance to showcase their first year at Iowa State through photography in the Memorial Union. This year’s group of freshmen include Nicolas Andrade, Lainey Beeftink, Alleigh Bowers, Chelsea Budd, Amanda Carnahan, Ruben Garcia, Rachel Haukkala, Daniel McDonough, Vanessa McNeal, Kim Paul, Elliot White and Jessica Yehle. Lainey Beeftink, freshman in pre vet from Spring Grove, IL, said she heard about Fresh Fotos from an email she received. “It seemed like a good way to get involved,” Beeftink said. Beeftink said she tries to look at things with an artistic view and choose photos that people can relate to. Another freshman involved in the project, Rachel Haukkala from Minneapolis, MN, heard about the project by just simply looking at the schools’ page. Haukkala said she tried to find interesting photos that help describe her expe- rience at Iowa State. When she entered the con- test, however, she had difficulties selecting her Photo courtesy of Rachel Haukkala final submissions. “I take lots of photos, so it’s hard to narrow tween five or six years old.

especially of the Inuk people, should be able to keep hold of their cultural traditions as well as integrate into this new age of technology. “I want our younger generation to be able to use modern tech- nology, as well as be able to live a traditional life and be able to build an Igloo.” He spoke while a personal slideshow depicting the native Canadian people’s lifestyle played behind him. Irniq is a known Inuk politician and artist, he was appointed to the board of the Canadian race relations foundation. He also served as the second commissioner of Nunavut from April 2000 to April of 2005. The lecture and traditional artwork throughout the Ames community by Irniq have drawn great attention. Members of Iowa State’s sociology, anthropology, American Indian, and art and design programs were all involved in his lecture. “Inuit arts and crafts are in great demand all over the world ... Art is something we always do in Inuit culture, and it’s always supporting our culture, it’s always supporting the environment, and it’s always supporting the animals. So it’s something I support 100 percent,” he emphasized. Irniq will be building traditional Inuksuits or “signposts” throughout three Ames parks from now until Oct. 1. He will be at Brookside Park tomorrow morning, he will also be hosting two other demonstrations in Emma McCarthy Lee Park and Ada Hayden Park. “We went through a process to find an artist every school year, to demonstrate in one of our parks ... What we do is not just look for an interesting artist, but interesting cultural connections,” said Sam Stagg, a member of the Ames Public Art Commission. “[Peter] is not just a sculptor; he is somewhat of a cultural icon,” Stagg said. “This is the second time I remember a traveling artist, an environmental artist, has been brought in to the Ames area. Patrick Daugherty was brought in a couple years ago, and he drew a lot of people, and the commission got a lot of positive feedback. So that opens the way for traditional artists in the Ames community,” said Susan Gwiasda, a City of Ames public relations officer. Many design students were present in the lecture. Irniq’s work also incorporated a bit of architecture. ISU art history professor John Cunnally spoke about Irniq’s work and it’s potential influence on ISU students. “We should be thankful of the art council of the city because they’ve been willing to bring people from other communities, oth- er cultures to help show a variety of art to students and the city.” The Joy of CENSORSHIP

Joe Raiola is the senior editor of MAD Magazine and a crusader against unwarranted censorship. He takes a satirical look at the most hotly debated First Amendment issues, including the effect of 9/11 on free speech, banned books, movie rating, the FCC, and Internet filters. His research reveals abuses of the First Amendment that are as scary as they are funny. His presentation also traces MAD’s history, from the publisher’s showdown with the U.S. Senate over comic book censorship to the magazine’s emergence as a satirical force. Joe Raiola joined the Theatre Within Workshop in New York in 1979 as a young comedian and built a career as a solo performer, comedy writer, producer, and director.
