Student-leadership center restructuring Formerly the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, the newly restructured units aim to better foster an engaged student body and promote leadership. BY MARISSA PAYNE

Bringing Hogwarts to Iowa City When the Harry Potter series was first released, it drastically changed the face of young adult fiction. Through classes and clubs, students at the University of Iowa are finding various ways to revisit the magical franchise.
The University of Iowa has taken steps to restructure the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, the campus unit that supports organizations and services catered to students, to form three individual units in hopes of fostering
more leadership among students and promoting engagement in civic life. Vice President for Student Life Melissa Shivers wrote in an email to the division’s staff in August that the Shivers center will shift from
functioning under its overarching name to operating as separate offices reporting through the dean of students, a role being filled on an interim basis by Angie Reams. Shivers told The Daily Iowan that the change aims to better serve not only student leaders who are engaged with the department, but also students who hav-

rachel-steil@uiowa.edu Prepared to serve and protect the University of Iowa campus, two new dogs have joined the University of Iowa police force. The two K9 units were added to the staff over the summer, with officers Jerrad Mohling and Nathan Monter stepping up to their assignments as
K9 handlers. Mohling handles K9 Brad, a German shepherd, known for his amicability. Monter handles the well-behaved K9 Hogan, a German shorthaired pointer. All dogs in the department are specialized in tracking and explosives. “[The dogs] are used for big events, whether political or athletic, and routine patrol,” Monter said.
Brad is one of two K9 units in the department that deal with apprehension, which means he assists in arrests with dangerous suspects. Hogan, however, is not an apprehension dog and sticks to sniffing out explosives and tracking. “K9 Hogan is the only K9 in the surrounding area that is trained to track to humans without apprehension,” UI media-relations manager
Hayley Bruce wrote in an email to The Daily Iowan. “This allows K9 Hogan to be used in lost-persons cases.” Monter said he always knows exactly when Hogan has completed his job. “When he finds ‘source,’ which is where the odor is coming from — whether it be a person, explosive, or SEE K9, 2A

“It is going to be a little bit different than a kitchen store,” Susan Felker said. “We are going to have a few features that will be unique.” The Felkers said years of cooking and sharing food with family and friends inspired them to open the Prairie Kitchen Store. To the Felkers, the shop is like an expansion of their own kitchen and the meaningful moments they have experienced there, which is an experience they said they want to bring to Iowa City. “[The store] brought together the passion of having
Vaccinations for HPV have not reached an optimal level among Iowa teens compared with other vaccinations, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health, though University of Iowa students report higher rates of receiving vaccinations. HPV is an infection most commonly transmitted sexually and can lead to a number of health complications, including genital warts and cancer in both men and women. The Food and Drug Administration approved the HPV vaccination Gardasil in 2006, according to the agency. The vaccine includes a series of shots depending on an individual’s age, said Natoshia Askelson of the UI’s Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network Collaborating Center. According to the Iowa Department of Public Health, 55.1 percent of Iowa teenagers completed HPV vaccination shots in 2018. In comparison, 94 percent were vaccinated for Tdap and 83.6 percent for meningitis. More UI students report having ever received an HPV vaccination than the state’s teenage population. According to the 2019 National College Health Assessment survey, 62.1 percent of

rachel-steil@uiowa.edu A Hawkeye family is planning to open a new kitchen store in downtown Iowa City next spring that boasts both basic kitchen utensils and community trivia nights. The family-owned Prairie Kitchen Store will be located at 160 N. Linn St. and is expected to open in April 2020. According to the owners — Tippie College of Business Assistant Dean Susan Felker, Tippie lecturer Kevin Felker, and their son Alex — the store will be more than an average kitchen shop.

She said no staff positions were eliminated as a result of the restructuring. The center was composed of seven key areas: Arts & Entertainment Programs, Major Annual Events, Multicultural Programs, Leadership & Service, Fraternity & Sorority Life, Services for Students, and Student Organizations. It administers services such as Student Legal Services, Student Organization Business Office, and the Office Campus Housing Service.

Although the department does not have any narcotics dogs on staff, the Iowa City police do. Mohling said Iowa City police K9s and the UI’s K9s will likely provide for a mutually beneficial relationship. “We work well with the [Iowa City police],” Mohling said. “City has narcotics dogs, and we have bomb dogs. It is a way to be compatible with each other.” Monter said the police typically aim to operate with a threedog staff. With the two new K9s, the department is once again fully staffed in that area.

Having three K9 units allows the department to rely less on other agencies for assistance in K9 operations, Bruce said. The department had operated with one K9 unit since December 2018 after K9 Falo retired because of a medical condition. “[Having a three-dog staff] definitely makes it easier, especially when it comes to special events at Kinnick,” Mohling said. “It takes three hours for us to do a sweep at Kinnick as it is.

Reams will serve as the associate dean for Student Development & Support and provide administrative support for: • Office of Student Accountability • Early Intervention Team • Threat Assessment Team • Student Care & Assistance • Student Legal Services • Clinical Case Management Nelson will serve as the associate dean for Strategic Initiatives & Operations and maintain his role with the IMU.

gadgets,” he said. “It’s an experience where you can gather, learn about cooking, and buy a spatula.” In addition to the wide selection of kitchen products, the family said that Prairie Kitchen Store will offer a multitude of community events and private events. “We will have kitchen-type events like cooking demonstrations and classes, but we also are going to do community events — author talks, speakers, trivia nights, book clubs, knitting circles,” Susan Felker said. In addition to the shop and events, the store will serve a vari-
ety of beer, wine, coffee, and tea. The Felkers want the store to feel casual and welcoming as if customers are actually in someone’s kitchen. “[These aspects] make it more of a destination,” Susan Felker said. “You can sip and stroll while you shop, you can sit down and have a cup of coffee, you can eat and look at some product.” The Felkers are not worried about any competition and are confident in the uniqueness of their store. “There is enough space for more than one seller of kitchen items,” Susan said. “More people to the party is a good thing.”
Iowa City Downtown District Executive Director Nancy Bird said she agrees with the Felkers. “It is a great fit for downtown that is really experiential,” Bird said. “The Prairie Kitchen Store will be such a good complement to our other stores.” Bird said the Iowa City Downtown District has had a kitchen store on its list of retail strategies for some time. The Felkers said people from the community have already approached them and shared their excitement for the arrival of a kitchen store. “People are saying, ‘This is exactly what we want,’ ” Susan Felker said.
The Prairie Kitchen Store will have a presence during Oktoberfest and will have a popup shop at local fashion store Textiles during the holidays. “It won’t open until April of next year, but support has already been super high,” Bird said. “People are familiar with the Felkers and what great work
they’ve done as part of the university community.”
wa are less likely to have their children vaccinated to prevent HPV, along with their other vaccinations, because of a lack of recommendations by healthcare providers. As a result, Askelson said conversations between nurses and parents are increasingly important. “As opposed to a strong recommendation, they’re giving it as an option instead of telling parents these are the things your kids need,” she said. UI junior Kayla Felderman, who received HPV vaccinations in the past, said she is surprised at the slow progress of the vaccination statewide. She said she doesn’t see any harmful effects of receiving the vaccine and
therefore doesn’t understand why some parents choose to not vaccinate their children. “Cancer is really prevalent in our society, so I would see no reason not to get the HPV vaccination,” Felderman said. “And I know I would never not get a vaccine if I thought it was helpful.” UI sophomore Helena Fantz has also been vaccinated. She said that she was also surprised by these findings, especially because she said she believes vaccines are “extremely” important. “I really only see positives to getting it done,” Fantz said. There are also UI students who acknowledge the importance of these vaccinations but
are unsure whether they are vaccinated. UI sophomore Katie Kohut said she was not sure if she has received the vaccination, but she still thinks it would be best to get vaccinated from a preventative standpoint. With the slow growth in the number of HPV vaccines, Askelson said, it is most important that people understand the effectiveness of the vaccination to improve the number of teenagers vaccinated across Iowa. “We know it really works,” she said. “If you have a chance to prevent cancer and your kid having some horrible cancer outcome in the future, then it is something you should do.”

UI senior creates new art with old practices University of Iowa senior Zoe Hermsen is inspired by art created in traditional ways, such as printmaking and embroidery. BY MADISON LOTENSCHTEIN madison-lotenschtein@uiowa.edu
It takes years for some artists to decide whether or not to trek down the path of creativity. For University of Iowa senior Zoe Hermsen, pursuing the practice was all she had ever envisioned. By spending numerous hours in the studio while working toward a B.F.A. in printmaking, Hermsen has acquired all the skills needed to morph into a certified printmaker, specializing in lithography and intaglio. “They’re both traditional practices,” Hermsen said. “What’s nice is that print isn’t as finite as drawing. You can make multiple copies; it’s not as precious as drawings.” Some of Hermsen’s work includes a print with stinkbugs stamped across the paper. The insects look as though they are scattering across the page, with a few fading out into the white background while others remain a stark black. “A lot of my work is about femininity, anxiety, and vague things like ‘the self,’” she said. “I’m just trying to describe myself by the things I see and experience.” Old religious art also inspires Hermsen’s work. A couple of her own prints include the birth of the goddess Venus and of Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. “It’s based off of a famous painting by Giotto called ‘Madonna Enthroned,’” Hermsen said. “When you take Jesus out of the picture, she’s in this stance. I wanted to make her modern and not dependent on Jesus.” Along with creating prints, Hermsen has immersed herself into the intricate art of embroidery. Having a longtime interest in fashion, she embroidered a design with the phrase “No thanks” onto a denim jacket, as well as small flower designs and other small objects onto shirts. “There is an interesting

basket weaving was and is a valuable skill.” As an artist, Hermsen has come across a mountain that troubles all in the industry: the public undervaluing art. “They don’t realize the worth of the art,” Hermsen said. “I’ve had to grapple with people seeing art, enjoying it, but not wanting to spend on it. But then I see people buying $20 art from Target and I think, ‘Well, now what?’ ” Go to dailyiowan. com to watch a video featuring Zoe Hermsen.

GUEST OPINION
UI encourages participation in strategic-planning process Campus leaders invite UI community members to engage in the process of envisioning the university’s future in all areas. As members of the University of Iowa community, we have a remarkable opportunity to materially impact the future of our university. The process of refreshing the UI’s strategic plan will begin over the next few months across campus. This activity is purposely originating outside the confines of Jessup Hall in order to unleash the UI’s potential throughout our community. Within several weeks, each college and central-administra-
tive unit will begin its own strategic-planning process, drawing upon input and leadership from local shared governance and administrators. In order to provide a framework for discussion, the areas of focus that will make up the collegiate units, central administrative units, and UI strategic plans are: • Student Success • Research and Discovery • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion • Engagement
These focus areas are not new to our campus, and it is clear that their integration is vital to the future success of the UI’s students, faculty, and staff. While the previous strategic plan referred to these core areas as pillars, in reality they are part of the very fabric of the UI and should be viewed as interconnected pieces of a great university. For our campus, the process of creating the strategic plan makes this a criti-

cal time for the community, through shared governance in each college and central-administrative unit, to actively participate in our collective future. Empowering every corner of campus to engage locally will inform and direct the UI’s strategic plan with expertise, passion, and creativity. Each day, UI students, faculty, and staff expect excellence from themselves, their colleagues, and their class-
mates. It is through these high expectations that new and exciting knowledge is acquired daily on the UI campus through teaching, research, scholarship, and inclusion. Expecting excellence from these core activities of the university will allow for exploration and growth in other areas. To be clear, additional investment will be required to implement the university’s strategic plan. A transparent
and straightforward strategy, memorialized in the UI’s strategic plan, will inform students, family members, Iowans, and alums how their investment will be spent. As leaders, we implore each and every member of our campus to engage with this process within your area to ensure your voice is heard. — UI administration, shared governance, and collegiate leadership

Birth of the Cy-Hawk is a hometown documentary about the creation of the now-iconic Cy-Hawk trophy. Director Ben Godar captures the authentic and intriguing story of a group of “ordinary guys” in 1977 with a historic idea who take initiative after the University of Iowa and Iowa State University renew their football rivalry for the first time in 43 years. It is a quick, yet entertaining 36-minute watch packed with interesting Iowan history and sports culture. — Chris Daugherty

In an ever flowing wave of dreams, love, and sex, Del Rey intimately incorporates her equally unique vocals and lyrics in her newest album Norman F*****g Rockwell. The aspect that is most striking about Del Rey’s newest album is how it expresses both modern love and relationships, as well as the sensual emotional trend that has presented herself in her music since the beginning. Venice Bitch, F**k it I Love You, and Doin’ Time are songs that flow so harmoniously and yet feed themselves to a dark and sun-kissed pallet of love, identity, and connections. I think everyone owes it to themselves to take an hour and eight minutes this week and check out this album that will easily be known as one of the best and most representative of life in 2019.

MAGIC CONTINUED FROM 1B With the use of a magic wand, a wizard has the ability to detect intruders, levitate objects, and create a defense aura. The wand, frequently used throughout the Harry Potter series, represented the limitless magic and opportunities found in the wizarding world. Unfortunately, using any kind of spell in-person won’t have an effect, but there are magic enthusiasts to be found at the University of Iowa. While the UI doesn’t offer any courses in the history of magic or provide instruction on creating potions, there are both students and faculty who bring the fantasy setting to life in Iowa City. On the surface, the series written by J.K. Rowling has a simple story — an orphan boy discovers his wizardry ancestry and ability to use magic — and he enrolls in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During this coming-of-age story, Potter develops lifelong friendships with several characters, along with confronting Lord Voldemort, a corrupt wizard responsible for the tragedies in Potter’s past. The intricacies have caused the series to become an international success. Since the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was released in 1997. It has grown into a multimedia franchise, consisting of movies, video games, and musicals. Robert Gerstmyer, a lecturer in the UI Religious Studies Department, teaches the course “Harry Potter: Mystery & Magic of Life,” a discussion-based class in which students further dissect the story and themes of the series in an in-depth manner. While developing the class, Gerstmyer said, he learned that certain topics of the series deeply related to his field of study. “Depending on how you read it, I think there are religious elements,” Gerstmyer said. “In the last book, you have a resurrection stone, you
Illustration by Haley Triem/The Daily Iowan have the scene at the cemetery where the headstones have different verses from Christian Bible, and the idea of birth, afterlife rebirth, are all religious themes.” In the class discussions he’s lead during the past semester, he said the most prominent themes typically addressed are love and friendship. These themes come up when notable characters make questionable decisions, whether it’s Ron Weasley abandoning Potter and Hermione Granger, or Severus Snape still pining after Lily Potter long after she died. Even in a fantasy setting, the emotions of the characters still feel human, Gerstmyer said.
‘I think one of the amazing things about Rowling’s fictional worlds she’s created is yes, they’re different from us in some ways, but in very important ways they aren’t.’ — Robert Gerstmyer, UI lecturer “I think one of the amazing things about Rowling’s fictional worlds she’s created is yes, they’re different from us in some ways, but in very important ways they aren’t,” Gerstmyer said. “And I would say the ways of how they treat one another and how they express animosity and anger to-
ward ones and others … those still seem pretty spot on in our muggle world.” The class also discusses the conservative, religious objections to the series, talking about people’s concerns — particularly from parents — about the books and the religious ideals they promote.
Aside from taking classes related to the wizarding world, other students have taken upon themselves to engage in magical activities without using a broom. Bailey Bergman, a UI Quidditch Club member, wanted to join the sport because of her love for the series. When her mom read books to her as a child, the magic stood out to her, and it became the first series that made her interested in fantasy. “When it first came out, it was so different than anything that had been out,” Bergman said. “I think the themes of love and friendship and rising up against the government because it’s
not a great government [are] all pretty relevant to our age group. [The characters] are dealing with stuff that we’re dealing with now.” As the readers grow older, they can examine the characters through a different perspective, concluding whether or not they’re ethical people. “When you read the first novel, she makes this seems so easy and so straightforward,” Gerstmyer said. “Everybody’s development has a bit more complexity. We see more of what’s going on; I think that’s the interesting part of having this series.” Each Quidditch team consists of seven players with three “chasers” who gain points, two “beaters” who prevents the team from scoring, a “keeper” who works as a goalie, and a “seeker” who tries to catch the snitch. In order to gain points, chasers or keepers must get the “quaffle,” which is represented by a volleyball. When a quaffle is shot through the hoops, the team earns 10 points. Once the seeker catches a snitch, the game automatically ends. UI senior Carson Kephart serves as the president of the UI Quidditch Club, which brings the fictional sport from the series to an actual playing field. Kephart described the series as a perfect habitat for a “nerd sprout,” allowing him to meet new friends through the practices and games. Throughout his time in Quidditch, he said his teammates have played a large role in his favorite memories of the sport. “They’re just a great group of people — a bunch of misfits that just fit really well together,” he said. Such activities allow readers to make new friends who similarly wanted to live in the fantasy world. “I think it’s really cool when you can find people who also enjoyed it and also still want to be in that [world],” Kephart said. “It’s a fun world to be in when you start to immerse yourself in that and find somebody else who also once wants to immerse themselves in it, you get along right away.”

SOCCER CONTINUED FROM 6A
SCHOTT CONTINUED FROM 6A
“I think we’re coming in with a different mindset this year,” said captain Hannah Drkulec, a senior defender. “We know that last year our road record wasn’t as great as our home one, but we’re going to go in and know that we’re to bring it to other teams on their field like we bring it to other teams on our own.” The team will get its biggest test of the year today as they play against a ranked North Carolina State team. Knowing that challenge and being able to put the rankings behind them goes back to a strong mindset, being able to take on a strong opponent, and also channeling that excitement into productive play on the field. “It’s going to challenge us because of how physical and talented they are,” senior forward Devin Burns said. “With us going into this, we can win if we play our best game, and it’s really important for us to look at them as another team that we need to get points for, to get three points and come out with a win.”
The duo, along with the rest of Iowa’s offensive line, had a game to remember Aug. 31. Despite the injury to one of the offense’s best players, the Hawkeyes put up 465 yards of total offense. Mekhi Sargent and Toren Young each scored a touchdown while combining for 139 yards on the ground touchdown, and Nate Stanley threw for 252 yards and 3 touchdowns behind the new line. Schott joined the program as a walk-on in 2017, and he saw action in one game in 2018 after redshirting his first year in Iowa City. The Coggon, Iowa, native had a chance to see snaps this season and was likely going to play against the RedHawks even without Jackson’s injury. He’s now a key piece of the line. “He's practiced and prepared well,” Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz said. “He's done it kind of quietly. He did a lot of good things last year, but really has improved physically. He's a little bit more mature now, been around the program a little bit longer, and he's one of those guys that I don't want to call him nondescript, but he's not flashy, but if you watch him closely, he just does a lot of things really well and consistently, and he's certainly done that this August.” Schott’s first-career start will likely come against Rutgers on Saturday in his first Big Ten game. During camp, Ferentz said Schott went up against defensive tackle Cedrick Lattimore and blocked him as well as anybody. Although he didn’t win every battle — no one does — that’s quite a bit of praise from a coach widely regarded as an offensive line guru. It paid off on Aug. 31. “I knew I was ready to go if my name was called, which it was, unfortunately because A.J. got hurt,” Schott said. “But I would be ready to, and I was ready I believe.”

HAWKEYE UPDATES Men’s soccer awards Big Ten honors
The Big Ten announced their men’s soccer Player of the Week honors on both offense and defense Wednesday. Offensively, Jørgen Wisth Lie of Rutgers took home the first award of the season as a freshman. The Scarlet Knights are an undefeated 2-0 on the season after the Norwegian sunk two penalty kicks in the opening games. He helped Rutgers win their season opener for the first time since 2015 and is its first Offensive Player of the Week since 2016. Jack Maher of Indiana took home Defensive Player of the Week, the first of his career, after being named Adidas/IU Credit Union Classic Most Outstanding Defensive Player following two double-overtime wins against UCLA and Pittsburgh. He scored the game-winning goal against UCLA and earned an assist in the second game.

Penn State and Purdue each had two athletes represent them in the Big Ten women’s soccer awards announced Wednesday. Sydney Sparks and Leanna Rebimas took home Defensive Player of the Week, and Co-Freshman of the Week, respectively, after Purdue beat DePaul and Iowa State to open with a 4-0 start to the season. Iowa’s Hannah Drkulec earned the defensive Drkulec award last week. Sam Coffey of Penn State earned Offensive Player of the Week, and her teammate Ally Schlegel took home Co-Freshman of the Week after the Nittany Lions beat Long Beach State and Loyola Marymount over the weekend. Meagan McClelland of Rutgers earned Goalkeeper of the Week after a pair of shutouts against No. 11 Tennessee and Providence. Iowa faces Purdue on Sept. 22 and Rutgers at home on Oct. 11, with its only chance to face Penn State coming with a potential Big Ten Tournament appearance.

has five games against teams ranked inside the AP Top 25 on their schedule. It is unlikely that Iowa wins all of those games. Much like Iowa, Wisconsin has five games against AP Top 25 teams on their schedule. The Badgers and Hawkeyes will meet up in Madison, Wisconsin, on Nov. 9 for a matchup that will likely decide the winner of the Big Ten West. At this moment, it seems likely that Wisconsin will win that matchup and take the West division crown.
After four straight wins at home to start the season, the Iowa soccer team heads to North Carolina for its first road trip of the season. The Hawkeyes face off against North Carolina State at 6 p.m., which is ranked 14th in the nation in the United Soccer Poll. They will also play at noon on Sunday against North Carolina-Greensboro. This road trip will show how much this team has improved on the road since their 1-7 away record last season. “We have an awful lot of seniors and an incredible amount of sophomores that DiIanni have played a lot of college games,” head coach Dave DiIanni said. “Just knowing when to go to bed, how to prepare your body and your mind, and just having an understanding of the non controllables we’re going to walk into, especially against good teams. So I think the experience will be one and the level of play we’re at now will help our kids have a little bit more confidence going on the road.” The way the athletes are preparing brings a change from in years past, something that can help them improve both individually and as a team in road contests.

No One weekend of football has already yielded much refinement in the race for the Big Ten West Division title. The Purdue Boilermakers fell to the Nevada Wolf Pack, and the Northwestern Wildcats were defeated handily by the now-23rd ranked Cardinals of Stanford. Excluding the Wildcats and Boilermakers, all went according to plan for the rest of the West division. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois all won in impressive fashion. Meanwhile, Nebraska and Minnesota exhibited the need for improvement in their respective victories. So, what does all the chaos amongst West teams mean for the Iowa Hawkeyes? It means Iowa’s chances to win the Big Ten West have increased significantly. However, it does not

Two things stand in Iowa’s way in regards to winning the West. The first, and most formidable, thing being the Wisconsin Badgers. On Aug. 31 the Wisconsin Badgers ran the USF Bulls out of Raymond James Stadium, winning 49-0. Johnathan Taylor showed the nation why he is a dark horse to win the Heisman Trophy, and Wisconsin’s defense proved to be quite stout. The second thing that will prohibit the Iowa Hawkeyes from winning the West is their schedule. Currently, Iowa
