There are many options for students at Iowa State when it comes to graduation. While some students choose to graduate in four years or at- tend graduate school, there are some students who choose to graduate early, in three and a half years or less. For the students who decide to graduate early, lots of time and planning is required. It can sometimes be a stressful process getting the correct amount of credits in less time. For Katie Goodell, senior in communication studies, the experience has been nothing but stressful. “Graduating in three and a half years is the worst decision I could have made in college,” Goodell said. “I have been extremely stressed, and my health has suffered.” But this is not true for all early graduates. Some students take college-credit classes in high school, making for an easier early graduation process. Deanna Williams, senior in English, chose to graduate early because of the 32 college credits she accumulated in high school. This gave her an academic edge Will Ash/Iowa State Daily and allowed her to graduate Students who plan on graduating early have to hit the books hard, especially for their general education classes. An early graduation date can have a early. positive impact on students if they can get a job right out of school and begin paying off student loans, but those employed can fall into a vicious cycle. “I have no other classes to take, so why not finish early?” said. “That was difficult at times, There are some perks has not had the same experience be out of her Schilletter and Williams said. especially because they were to graduating early, though. with acquiring a job.

Bringing the true flair of Italy to the citizens of Ames — that is the goal that owner Alessandro Andreoni has for his new Italian restaurant called Plus39 that opened Nov. 30 on Stange Road in Somerset in Ames. “Everything we offer here is 100 percent Italian. Nothing is Americanized or pre-cooked,” Andreoni said. “We make everything ourselves on the spot.” Plus39 combines the con- cept of a restaurant with a can- tina and a market. Customers can have breakfast, lunch and dinner there as well as buying Italian specialties. “Our lunch menu alone is larger than what most restaurants offer altogether,” Andreoni said. “We have more than 150 different kinds of wine and the quality of our cuisine and our services is top.” For Andreoni, the opening of his own restaurant in America is the fulfillment of a dream he’s had since he was a Richard Martinez/Iowa State Daily child. Plus 39, a new restaurant on Stange Road in Ames, features italian cuisine, a wine sampling lounge, and mini marketplace. Owner Alessandro Andreoni His family has had a long said he wants “to create an explosion in the mouths of [his] customers.” Plus 39 is available to host study groups and meetings or just to study and eat. tradition of making handmade food in Italy.

Respectful guests create successful holiday gatherings By Hailey.Gross @iowastatedaily.com

fter a stressful finals week or a long year at the office, Ait is great to have enough free days in a row to truly get a little wild. As a result, the an- nual Christmas Party is a staple of any group, organization or company. If you have a job, friends, family, neighbors or even just cats you can expect to be coerced into joining one of these festivities. Though the New Year looms closely, and we all want to party with abandon, there are a few rules of social behavior that should still be followed, no matter where the mistletoe is placed, or how many glasses of wine you have had. If the social occasion is a workplace party, the rules are particularly strict. There probably should not be any overt kissing in hallways, or at least not until your bosses and super- visors are at least as intoxicated as you are. When it comes to clothing, the same thing goes: a little caution. You want to look good, as this might be the only time your coworkers see you in something other than slacks and a dress shirt, or a conservative business suit. However, you still want them to respect you, so keep that in mind when picking through your wardrobe.
