Despite Irish Girl’s recent critical success, Johnston has yet to see major mone- tary gains from his writing. He still takes on carpentry work to pay the bills — a skill the author learned from his father and later honed while working for a contractor who made repairs to million-dollar houses in California. Johnston, who lives in Santa Fe, N.M., said it can be hard to divide his time between writing and the var- ious construction projects he must take on a regular basis. “When I’m the boss work- ing on a project, it’s the only thing I can think about, he said. “It’s usually one or the other.” He said he never planned to make a career out of car- pentry — it happened out of necessity. In fact, the author said he never planned to be a full-time writer, either, until he pur- sued a M.F.A. in creative writing at the University of Massachusetts. The Iowa City-born author has many fond memories of the town, but none stick out more than when he rode his Kawasaki 250 on-off dirt bike during his college days. “When I was a freshman or junior here, a bunch of buddies and I all had

Students should focus on building relation- ships, finding meaning, and striving for attainable goals, she said. Cochran said the increase in students reporting con- cerns doesn’t necessarily mean more of them are mentally ill. “People are less likely to deny they have a problem,” he said, and psychological measurement tools during the Great Depression era were less precise than those used today. But Gentile said this factor alone didn’t account for the trend. Though Cochran and Gen- tile agree the increase doesn’t directly correlate with recent economic troubles, several students said financial wor- ries have increased their stress levels. UI senior Madison Bell said her peers have recent- ly been talking about their monetary concerns more, and some have had to pick up second jobs. Bell — who works as a waitress at Pagliai’s, 302 E. Bloomington St., to help pay for school — said she sometimes worries when people don’t come into the restaurant because it affects her income. She noted it’s worries like this can increase anxiety for students. “School’s enough, I guess,” she said. Cochran said staff at University Counseling have seen students con- cerned about funding, stu- dents’ employment needs, and worries about finding jobs after graduation. “It is certainly stressful, both in terms of funding a student’s education and in terms of obtaining employment after gradu- ation,” he said.

In the past 35 years, Bob Rydze has been named Big Ten Diving Coach of the Year three times. He has coached four Olympians, 31 All-Americans, nine Big Ten champions, and one NCAA champion. But Iowa’s head diving coach is facing perhaps his biggest challenge yet: coach- ing Hawkeye junior diver Veronica Rydze, his 21-year- old daughter. Playing for Dad can be tough.

Jaime Printy

BASKETBALL Printy honored Iowa guard Jaime Printy was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Tuesday after helping lead the Iowa women’s basketball team to back-to-back victo- ries for the first time since Dec. 20-22, 2009. Against Northwestern on Sunday, the Marion, Iowa, native averaged 22.5 points and shot 52.2 percent from the field and 40 percent from the 3-point arc. She also went 17-of-20 from the free-throw line. Printy leads both the Hawkeyes and all freshman in the Big Ten in scoring, averaging 14.9 points in 20 games on the season. The conference honor is her third Freshman of the Week honor of the season; she was previously honored on Nov. 30, 2009, and Jan. 4.
