Entertainment Budget cuts Forum will hear opinions from students

By Whitney.Sager iowastatedaily.com Students will have the chance to voice their opinions during an open forum regard- ing a bill that will bring big-name entertain- ment to campus. The forum will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Maintenance Shop of the Memorial Union. The Featured Programs for Students bill was discussed at last week’s Government of the Student Body meeting and will be up for further discussion and a possible vote at this week’s meeting. If the bill receives a favorable vote from the GSB, $200,000 that was originally set aside for the Cyclone Cinema project will be used to bring nationally-recognized acts to Iowa State at discounted ticket prices for students. Questions can be directed to Trevor Brown, [email protected], MaryBeth Konkowski, ISU College Republicans show their support for the budget cuts Monday at the Iowa Capitol.

As one of the sponsors of First Amendment Day and of this event, the Iowa State Daily would like to thank both the ISU Democrats and the ISU College Republicans for participating. We would also like to thank everyone who attended and asked questions of the teams. Those of us who were there had the privilege of witnessing an intel- ligent, civil discourse between two groups that hold passionate, but opposing, viewpoints about the issue of gun ownership. The specific reso- lution that was debated was, “The United States shall enact no new laws limiting gun ownership.” The ISU College Republicans, who defended the resolution, were ultimately named the winners of the debate by judges Dick Doak, lecturer Eligibility for the scholarship requires only that applicants prove themselves to be at least 25 percent Caucasian.

With the Nebraska Cornhuskers on their way out of the Big 12 after this season, Iowa State will try for a third time to say goodbye to their Big Red rivals when the two meet on Tuesday at the Big 12 Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. The Cyclones (21-9, 9-7 in Big 12) already have two convincing victories over Nebraska this season with a 64-43 home win on Jan. 11 and a 85-66 win in Lincoln on Jan. 26. Since those games, the Cyclones have only seen the Huskers on game film as they prepared for oth- er Big 12 opponents. “The odd part about it is that we played them in two of our first four conference games and haven’t seen them in a long, long time,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly.

Spring Break Eating healthy specials in Ames By Kelsey Schirm AmesEats Flavors Writer on the road Let’s face the truth. We can’t all go to a luxury beach for Spring Break and party the week away.

Here are a few specials that will keep you entertained and your For most college students, wallet happy. Spring Break is a chance to overindulge in foods they have had to cut in order to reach their ultimate Spring Break body. While these students can let loose on Spring Break, it does not hurt to remain calorie-con- scious while traveling to these vacation locations or on road trips. Most travelers opt for fast food options while in the car or be- tween airports. These quick dining locations may be delicious, but their prod- ucts often contain a great deal of fat, salt and sugar, which can amount to a very high-calorie meal. By following a few quick tips and meal suggestions from the Helpguide.org website, eating on the go can be simple and easy.
