Jim Robinson, there were approximately four to ﬁve Asian males all dressed in black jeans and black pullovers. The man who attacked the female student appeared to have a faux-hawk. The student was transported to Mary Greeley Medical Center of Ames. Drinking is known to have been involved. The student to whom the attack reportedly happened wishes to remain anonymous. The investigation remains ongoing.

ometimes I hear crazy things on campus. I’m pretty jaded Sto people saying outrageous things, especially young college goers trying to grab attention. Every once in a while, though, I hear something that really stands out from the “guns kill people,” that will be heard from new liberals on every college campus for the foreseeable future, or “design majors have it easy, they don’t have to study for tests,” that can be heard from people who obviously don’t know any designers. One I heard recently that really struck me was, “Straight edge people are crazy and will shoot you for drinking.” Obviously, it was time to talk to some people who knew a thing or two about straight edge. Those people were Paul Nycz, a tattooer at Iron Heart in Des Moines who has been straight edge for over ten years, and his wife Sarah Nycz, who has been straight edge for a little over 12 years. I asked Paul to bring me up to speed with a brief history of straight edge. “Straight edge started in the early 80s with a band by the name of Minor Threat.
