By Cassidy Riley [email protected]

Researchers at two Big Ten univer- sities are working together to broad- en scientific understanding of a fairly mysterious yet growing more common disorder. Molly Losh, a Northwestern as- sociate professor of communication sciences and disorders, is working in collaboration with Thomas Wassink, a University of Iowa professor of psy- chiatry, and Dianne McBrien, a clin- ical associate professor of pediatrics. Their study conducts in-person test- ing that includes collecting a blood sample from families of individuals with autism for later DNA testing. They hope to identify social and lin- guistic features that may be inherit- able and which genetic patterns may create these features. This is one example of the kind of groundbreaking research people can take note of today on World Autism Awareness Day. One in 88 children have an autism spectrum disorder. Construction continues on the new Learning Commons at the Main Library. Construction is scheduled to be completed this fall. (The Daily Iowan/Nicholas Fanelli) One in every 54 boys is identified with autism. After a minor setback, officials say the University of Iowa Main Library updates are looking promising.

University of Iowa greeks will participate in “Do it in the Dark” this month as part of a chal- lenge to lower their ener- gy bill and increase their knowledge of sustainabil- ity. The challenge marks the first collaboration between the University of Iowa Student Govern- ment and greek life at Iowa, said Kelsey Zlevor, the UISG sustainability liaison. The challenge started Monday, and it will run through April 20. The house that reduces its energy bill by the highest percentage will receive a $250 award to its philan- thropy, as well as a nonal- coholic celebration at the Airliner, 22 S. Clinton St. The idea of the chal- lenge began with for- mer Panhellenic Council member Kelsie Christian. In her position as vice president of leadership and education last year, she said, she saw a lack of effort concerning sustain- ability among the greeks. “On our final reports, I came across an area that concerned environmen- tal responsibility, and I realized that our greek community was lacking in that aspect,” Christian said. “I saw an opportuni- ty to create awareness.” She contacted Zlevor and began working close- ly with her to bring the challenge to greek life with the help of UISG. The effort was primar- ily student-driven, said Leslie Schacht, the coor- dinator for fraternity and sorority life. Eleven greek houses are participating in the challenge — five fraterni- ties and six sororities. “I think it’s going to be basic, minor things, but they’ll make a cumula- tive thing at the end,” Zlevor said. “Unplugging laptops and phone char- gers — I think these are things we can get in the habit of doing, and if ev- erybody does, it can make a drastic change over the long run.”

No. 1 overall seed Louisville marches on to the Final Four, and it does not seem like anyone is going to stop them from winning it all at this point. The Cardi- nals shook off an ugly leg injury suffered by sophomore Kevin Ware on Sunday to knock off Duke in a commanding way. The Cardinals outscored Duke 50-31 in the second half, and won the game, 85-63. The common theme that has helped the Cardinals run through this tourna- ment is their smothering defense. They have held tournament opponents to just 59 points per game while scoring nearly 81. Junior guard Russ Smith leads the charge on defense, and with his relentless play, he has averaged 3.2 steals per game. The team averages 12 per game as a whole. These turnovers are creating extra possessions for the Cardinals to continue Iowa guard Anthony Clemmons drives against Nebraska at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Saturday, March 9, 2013 in Iowa City, Iowa.
