Campus First Amendment Weekend allows families to learn about student life

By Molly.Collins and Sarah.Binder iowastatedaily.com The events planned for Cyclone Family Weekend, start- ing Friday, will provide ISU students the opportunity to bring their families to their new home and let them have a taste of life as a Cyclone. Families will get to explore campus, dis- cover what Iowa State has to offer and spend time with their Cyclone students. “One thing I’m looking forward to is having my parents see how everything goes up here, so that way they get a feel for what I’ve been doing,” said JP McKinney, freshman in soft- ware engineering. “I’m also in a fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, so my family will get to meet all the other guys and see the kinds of things I’ve been doing,” McKinney said. Along with his parents, all five of McKinney’s siblings are joining him for the weekend. Almost 800 families are signed up to participate, said Adam Reineke, senior in computer science and Cyclone Family Weekend co-chairman. This is nearly double the number that registered last year.

QUITO, Ecuador — Hundreds of police angry over a law that would cut their benefits plunged this small South American nation into chaos Thursday, roughing up and tear- gassing the president, shutting down airports and blocking highways in a nationwide strike. At least one person was killed and six injured in clashes between police and supporters of President Rafael Correa, the security minister said. Incensed officers shoved Correa around earlier, pelted him with water and doused him in tear gas when he tried to speak at a police barracks in the capital. Hours after Correa was roughed up, surrounded by rebel cops in a police hospital, the president declared himself “prac- tically captive.” Correa, 47, was hospitalized after being nearly asphyxiated by the tear gas.

File photo: Manfred “We had productive discussions regarding future Brugger/Iowa league schedules,” said Jamie Pollard, ISU director of State Daily athletics, in a news release. “It’s exciting to begin a new era of Big 12 football with a complete round-robin schedule for all schools.” Earlier in the week, the Cyclones released their 2011 non-conference schedule that included home games with in-state rivals Northern Iowa and Iowa to start the year before traveling to Storrs, Conn., before beginning confer- ence play. “[ISU] fans will benefit from the new format as league members from the old South Division will make far more frequent appearances in Jack Trice Stadium,” Pollard said. “The balance of the schedule is good for us as we have one of the Oklahoma schools, one of the Kansas schools and two [of the four] Texas schools at home and on the road each season.” But, with Nebraska leaving the conference for the Big Ten and Colorado departing for the Pac-10, the Big 12 decided to go to the nine-game format, forcing its teams to drop a non-conference game to meet the NCAA-required 12-game schedule. >>TEXAS.p10 said that makes him about 6 against Northern Iowa. all the way through.” Athletic directors also decided to move to an 18-game feet 8 inches by the time he re- Rhoads said the key to the Linebackers Jake Knott double round robin for men’s and women’s basketball.
