While many UNI students were away from campus working part-time jobs and internships this past summer, the university’s upper hierarchy was shaken up.

On July 2, Bill Ruud offi-

cially resigned as UNI’s 10th president after his threeyear contract expired. The move was preceded by a campus-wide e-mail Ruud sent in May that announced his intentions to take over the reigns as president of Marietta College, located in Ohio.

In the e-mail, Ruud referred

College Hill makes a splash SYDNEY HAUER Staff Writer

Students got wet and wild after the first week of classes thanks to the College Hill Partnership. They held a kickoff party on Saturday to welcome students back to campus.

The party featured a giant slip and slide, which took up half the length of the Hill.

CHP members set up and constructed the giant slide out of plastic sheets and hay bales earlier in the day.

A live DJ, dunk tank and carnival games were also featured, and the proceeds went to the Boys and Girls Club.

“We wanted to do something that would emphasize the unique qualities of College Hill,” Andy Fuchtman, CHP president and part-owner of Sidecar Coffee Shop, said. “The slip and slide started as a joke, but the more we thought about it, the more it made sense for us. We are on a hill, we’re a place where unique ideas can find a home and we like trying new things.”

Fuchtman continued, “We really just wanted to invite everybody to come down and have a great time to start the school year.

It was pretty hard to pull off, but it was fun working together to do something that most people thought would be difficult/impossible to accomplish.”

Barb Schilf, an owner of Mohair Pair and business member of CHP, said that she thought the event was successful.

to his time in Cedar Falls as a “blessing” and dubbed UNI as the “University of Nothing Impossible.”

Since Ruud’s departure was announced, former UNI provost Jim Wohlpart was appointed to serve as UNI’s interim president. According to Wohlpart, the news of Ruud’s departure came rather unexpectedly.

“We found out as vice presidents on the same day that it got announced to the university community,” Wohlpart said. “We had a meeting that morning; the vice-presidents had come together, and [Ruud] shared with us that he had been offered this opportunity at Marietta College, that he was very excited about this opportunity and possibility, and that he would be leaving at some point in the summer […] So, I was shocked.

Surprised. Pleased for the work that he had done over the last three years. He had done an amazing job of building a relationship between the administration and the faculty after there had been a vote of no confidence in the former president and provost.”

Indecent exposure, fondling attempt reported NICK FISHER

Executive Editor

Two incidents of sexual misconduct were reported at UNI within 40 minutes of each other in the same location.

At approximately 7:18 p.m.

Thursday an incident in which a male exposed himself to a female was reported to UNI Police. Forty minutes later, UNI Police received a report of a male attempting to “fondle” a female.

Both incidents occurred in the immediate area of the Center for Energy and Environmental Education. UNI Police declined to say whether they believe one man is responsible for both incidents.

“From my past experience, this is uncommon,” said Joe Tyler, associate director of public safety at UNI. Tyler said it’s unusual for two reports of sexual misconduct to occur in a similar location within a relatively short time frame.

Presidential search LEZIGA BARIKOR

Iowa Board of Regents member Katie Mulholland will be serving as the co-chair of UNI’s upcoming presidential search for the second time.

On Thursday, Aug. 25, there were two closed meetings held for student leaders to meet with the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges (AGB), a consulting firm based in Washington, D.C. Some 29 student leaders from various organizations were able to express their expectations for the next university president.

Representing the student body as a whole in this search is NISG president Hunter Flesch, junior elementary education and middle level education double major. Flesch, who is a member of the main search committee, also attended one of the listening sessions with the student leaders.

“I think a lot of the similar comments that were talked about to the AGB representatives were that of cohesion,” Flesch said. “They really wanted to see a president that’s willing to work with people. Someone who’s going to keep student’s interests in mind.”

The search committee members were chosen by the

BOR from a pool of nominations.

“The biggest thing that they wanted to do was, as with most searches, was to make sure they got people from each aspect of campus,” Flesch said. “So tons and tons of different departments – different facilities like that.”

James H. McCormick is serving as one of the representatives from AGB. McCormick said the company specializes in finding administrators in the field of higher education in the Midwest. Some of their repeat clients listed on their website include Buena Vista University, Texas A&M University and Saint Louis University.

With all the people needed to help coordinate the search, Daniel Power said he wouldn’t be surprised if this entire process ends up costing around $150,000. According to Power, the AGB consultants alone cost around $85,000, and the 2012 UNI presidential search totaled $143,000.

Power said the expenses not only allow for the university’s national search to bring in the best candidates for the job, but they also go towards making sure that everyone affected by this upcoming decision gets the chance to interact with these potential candidates.

The candidates themselves also get a chance to experience the best that UNI has to offer, according Power.

“I feel confident in the search committee,” said Andrew Jessip, junior global studies major said. “This is the first time I’ve been involved in a process like this. So I can only hope that they will have the best interest of the university, [...] students, [...] faculty and staff at heart.”

For students looking to stay up to date on the search, they will have resource links posted on the main UNI website homepage; the Iowa BOR website will also serve as a reliable source throughout the search process.

After only three years, UNI is once again seeking a new president.

Familiar faces will take the helm as co-chairs, including UNI professor of management information systems Daniel Power and Regent Katie Mulholland.

Power had been notably critical of the University of Iowa’s presidential search earlier this year, which resulted in a sanction against the university.

“I thought the process had some flaws, and I think the board is trying to address them with a new search firm,” Power said. “And I don’t want to criticize the board right now [...] I really hope that steps will be taken to remove that sanction. I don’t think it’s good for the regents’ institutions, but I think that [UNI’s] search demonstrates that we still have a very good relationship with the Board of Regents (BOR).”

The 21-member search committee hopes to appoint a new president by the end of the fall semester. Search members said the new president may not assume duties until the spring of 2017 or later.

They will begin interviews Nov. 11, and final candidates will come to campus by early December.

UNI professor Daniel Power, who serves as co-chair of the upcoming presidential search committee, expressed similar reactions to the news of Ruud’s departure.

“I was surprised; [I] hadn’t anticipated it,” Power said. “We were making progress here at UNI, and I wanted to make sure we continued to make progress.

So I knew we had a challenge ahead.”

According to a press release that appeared on UNI’s website in late June, that progress has included increasing enrollment numbers, improved four and six-year graduation rates and a second ranking in U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Regional Universities (Midwest)” category for public universities.

In addition, according to Iowa Board of Regents member Katie Mulholland, Ruud was responsible for helping the university financially.

“As I look back, when Dr. Ruud came to the campus, he did a lot to really help move the campus forward because there were some very difficult budget decisions,” Mulholland said. “He was able to unify the campus, and I am really grateful that he was able to do that.”

phase Wohlpart says “happens a lot” due to the average term for university presidents lasting for five to six years. However, some students think that future presidents with terms comparable to Ruud’s would not be beneficial for the university.

“We want someone who is there who cares about the students,” Josiah Sabino, freshman communication disorders major, said. “You know, it’s hard for students when different presidents come in and out – and for the faculty and staff, too.”

Jamison Whiting, senior philosophy and political science double major, described Ruud as a personal mentor, citing Ruud’s approachable nature as a major reason why UNI’s next president will have “big shoes to fill.”

“He was just completely a genuine person. You know, he’s someone that is completely personable,” Whiting said. “That’s what I think is one of the great things he brought to this university, was that ability to be approachable.

“You know, if you ever want to say, ‘I have an open door policy’ – everyone has an open door policy. But the difference between an open door policy and actually getting out of your office is something that I think will be monumental in the next president that comes.

So the mosh pit begins With the school year in full swing, I couldn’t help but think about how much I wish I was at a music festival instead.

Not everyone may share my same sentiment, but my friends and I spent most of the summer trying to get to every show we could fit in between work and weddings.

The hard rock festival experience is my favorite obsession.

But the college experience actually does fit the narrative of a hard rock festival experience, with some thought.

We all pay for tickets, and figuring out how food and living situations adds to our final total. And although the closing act on the final day involves us taking the final stage, we experience most of everything else in the crowd.

Already this school year,

my professors have once again colluded together to assign all their reading assignments on the same nights and tests within the same week. This becomes the part in the show that really separates audience – this is the mosh pit.

For those unfamiliar with the term “mosh pit” the Merriam-Webster dictionary has this simple definition: “An area in front of a stage where very physical and rough dancing takes place at a rock concert.”

In this sense, I’d define the mosh pit as the time during the school year when the assignments have piled up and the test dates have already been set. The ice breaker activities lasted all of five minutes, and now the time for group projects and papers is underway.

The pushing and shoving of other fellow concert-goers becomes the pushing off of responsibilities and shoving off deadlines to the last minute. The kicking and thrashing frenzy is more of a feeling

that occurs around mid-terms and finals, but, depending on your major, it may have started already.

It has for one of my friend’s and I can’t say I didn’t laugh at her predicament. Some say misery loves company, but in my case, misery doesn’t want company as much as it wants to know if someone else is slightly more miserable. Or maybe that’s just me.

But like I said, the audience has separated. Every so often you notice one of those students during finals time who doesn’t seem nearly as worried as you. They’re those people out back by the lawn chairs

or maintaining their position front and center at the barricade. They’ve got the same amount of coursework, yet they manage it like pros.

Now some people choose to jump in the pit. Just about everyone involved in any campus activities most likely can be found there as the juggling of time and responsibilities begins. Students who work or maintain any number of other responsibilities outside of campus are under that pressure too.

But whether you’re in the pit or in the lounge chairs, the show goes on. What is most important is that you remem-

ber to stay hydrated and don’t push yourself too far. It’s okay to take a break from the flashing lights and noise. There’s also no shame in going to the first-aid tent if need be, and utilizing the resources in the student health center for physical and mental well being. That’s what they’re there for.

The college experience is meant to leave you something rock festivals just can’t. That’s the skills and knowledge to thrive in the professional world, so you can afford to go to all the rock festivals you want. So rage on, and remember: it’s worth it.

Drop the attitude, not the course NI ARCHIVES

JESSE MOELLER Opinion columnist

It is the beginning of the semester. You’ve finished reading the course syllabus, and you are horrified: you have to read five books for this course, there are four exams, there are two group projects, a semester paper and, oh my gosh, you have to speak in front of the class at least once! To make matters worse, your professor is a heathen!

Yes, sometimes it can be disheartening. I urge you to tough it out. Don’t drop the course so early. Although the fear of not obtaining the desired grade may be high, the rewards for persevering are long-lasting. Successfully managing a difficult college course will better prepare you, not only for the rest of your college experience, but for your professional life as well.

You will actually learn from taking a difficult course.

“Learning” in a difficult course feels very different from “learning” in an easy one. While it is common, and successful, in some classes to rely on rote memorization to

pass the class, this may not be the case for a difficult course.

You might feel like you are learning when you are blazing through your flashcards, but trust me, the world doesn’t work like that. Without the connections and substantive meaning those factoids will disappear after the exam quicker than you memorized them.

The reason this is not the case for a difficult course is that you must collect and connect information. In these courses you are presented with the opportunity to make an argument on your own; you are instructed to gather and present findings. In this process, true learning occurs.

True learning is a much deeper learning.

If the academic benefits do not appeal to you, if you are more pragmatic, you should consider staying in the course, because it will help you to learn your limits for stress and work. Entering the private sector means often working in a stressful environment.

Having a busy semester with one or two difficult courses can teach you what that is like before it really counts.

Let’s be honest, if you don’t do so hot in Humanities 1 because the Bible was a hard

Columnist Moeller feels that students shouldn’t run from a daunting courseload. Rather, they should embrace it and the work will pay off.

read, worst-case scenario you can retake the class. In the “real world” the consequences aren’t so dismissible. You may not get fired, but perhaps you lose respect for not keeping up.

In the same line of thought, perhaps more importantly, managing a difficult course will help you to better manage the most important resource of all: your time. Don’t forget, we all die some day. Our time is a precious thing and we should be wise to treat it properly. Understanding how to prepare a weekly calendar and to plan course responsibilities and reading in advance is an invaluable skill.

Mastering this is essential to your college experience.

Now, you might say, “Oh, but I don’t want to take this.

The professor rating website says that getting an ‘A’ is too difficult. I’m paying for this degree, and I don’t want a bad GPA.” If that is your stance, then I would urge you to consider who those people are. Did they try? What does their work ethic consist in?

Do you want your “success” to be made from passing easy classes? If you come out of college without taking a difficult course then you have truly missed out. Even if your GPA benefitted, you have had a lesser experience.

Suppose you wanted to drop for other reasons. Maybe it is the case that your professor has said some things to offend you and maybe they are actually talking about things that you aren’t comfortable with. There are several reasons why you should not drop the course in this situation.

First, you are in college.

Coming into contact with foreign ideas is what college is all about. Don’t misread me; I am not saying you have to give anything up. However, you should be open to sampling.

Second, this is a chance to refine your beliefs. What is the use of believing in something if you cannot defend it? That is, you should hear what these people have to say because it will give you an opportunity to test their arguments and perspectives against your own beliefs and convictions — you should know how to argue on behalf of yourself.

Third, perhaps it is the case that you will be open to changing your mind. There is no shame in changing what you believe, especially so young. You are bound to do it more in the future.

If you stick by this, I assure you the reward will be well worth the effort.

She also stressed inclusion within BSU. “First and foremost, you do not have to be black to be in BSU. I like to make sure that all students know that they are welcome,” said Baylor.

Taraya Johnson, sophomore political science major and vice president of BSU, said members of BSU will be sharing stories and experiences with students to give them a better feel for what UNI is all about. They will have some questions prepared ahead of time, but attendees will also have the

Pre-season line-up for Northern Iowa football RYAN NELSON

Sports Writer

The fifth ranked UNI Panthers football team looks to set the bar high this year, following a strong finish to a 9-5 campaign in 2015 that ended in the quarterfinals in the FCS playoff.

After shaking off a slow start in 2015, the Panthers won seven games straight before falling to the eventual national champion, and familiar foe North Dakota State.

Led by quarterback Aaron Bailey and offensive lineman Robert Rathje, these two were both named 2016 Hero Sports preseason second team AllAmericans.

In addition, Bailey is also included in the College Football

Performance Awards National Performer of the Year watch list. Bailey rushed and passed for over 1000 yards a season ago, breaking several UNI records.

Rathje is ready to yet again anchor one of the more effective offensive lines in the country. Last season, UNI saw a record-breaking effort of 3,266 rushing yards and another 1000 yards from Bailey himself. A feat like this has never happened throughout UNI’s history.

Senior Tyvis Smith ran for 1079 yards in 2015, scoring seven rushing touchdowns. Other key players returning on the offensive end include three of the top four receiving threats in wide receivers Daurice Fountain and Charles Brown and running back Michael Malloy.

The defense is the question mark this season. The Panthers lose Deiondre’ Hall, who now plays for the Chicago Bears, and finished last season with 82 tackles and 6 interceptions.

In addition to Hall, UNI will also be missing Brett McMakin who led the team with 122 tackles to the NFL, as well as other key contributors to graduation.

The defense this year will be led by returning linebacker Jared Farley and defensive lineman Karter Schult who brought down 97 and 81 tackles, respectively.

The Panthers open up the season on Sept. 3 in Ames when they visit in state FBS rival, Iowa State. The Panthers then continue their difficult schedule with games against preseason #13 Montana, at #17 Eastern

This season looks to be a good opportunity for UNI in both the Missouri Valley Football Conference, as well as on a national level. The team hopes to see the stands full and look forward to what this season will bring.

OPINION

Former UNI Panthers playing in the NFL RYAN HERRING

Sports Columnist

“Why we win consistently is because we develop players,” said head coach Mark Farley earlier this month at UNI Football’s Media Day. A simple statement that holds true and also makes Panther Nation incredibly proud. Not only do Panther fans enjoy seeing these student athletes succeed in college, but everyone loves to see them get the chance to compete at the next level and prove themselves.

Kurt Warner will forever be known for putting UNI football on map. Warner is considered one of the greatest undrafted free agents of

all time as he went on to win two NFL MVPs and a Super Bowl MVP award in Super Bowl XXXIV. He showed that great NFL players can come from smaller schools and make a huge impact. This last year David Johnson once again brought this to our attention with his phenomenal rookie season.

Xavier Williams of the Arizona Cardinals and L.J. Fort of the Pittsburg Steelers are also some alums representing Panther Nation as they battle for playing time here in the preseason. Fort is coming off a good second preseason game with four solo tackles and one hit on the

quarterback. Both Fort and Williams have a lot to give to their respective teams.

Now, during the upcoming NFL season we have a couple more Panther Alumni to keep our eye on.

Deiondre Hall was drafted in fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears, and they have very high hopes for him.

The Bears say they see a bright future for the young, confident cornerback. They really like his wingspan and competitiveness. With the team dealing with some secondary injuries there is a possibility Hall could see the field early in his rookie season.

Hall made five tackles

and had back-to-back pass deflections in his first preseason game, showing right-off-the-bat that he can make plays. He also got his first interception over the weekend in the Bear’s third preseason game.

The Bear’s division rival, the Green Bay Packers, snagged themselves a member from last year’s Panther secondary. The Packers signed Makinton Dorleant to bring even more speed to their defense.

Dorleant battled with a hamstring injury, causing him to miss a week of camp, but he healed up enough to play the Packer’s second preseason game where he recorded two solo tackles.

Unfortunately, he suffered a non-contact injury in his last preseason appearance which limited his time on the field.

There are currently seven former UNI Panthers in the NFL and we can expect this trend to continue. The constant success the UNI football program has been achieving comes from coaches developing these players, and the players working extremely hard.

UNI is proving to everyone that they can produce great pro talents year after year. Be sure to keep an eye out for our former Panthers as the NFL regular season draws closer.

VOLLEYBALL

Women’s volleyball sweeps the competition at Michigan Invitational BRENNAN WHISLER

Sports Writer

The UNI volleyball team started the season out fast this year at the Michigan Invitational. They won the first match on Friday against Miami, OH without dropping a set by a score of 25-17, 25-19 and 25-17.

It was their first season starting sweep since 2013.

The Panthers then advanced to Saturday’s double header and swept St. Louis 3-0 by a set score of 20-25, 25-14 and 25-17. The Panthers did end up losing later in the day to the tournament host, Michigan, 3-0 by set score of 25-21, 25-20 and 25-21.

In the Miami match preseason First Team All-MVC SR Kayla Haneline led the way on offense with 10 kills.

Additionally, sophomore Bri

Piper Thomas and Lindsey Schulz get up to try and block the opposing team’s shot. This year the MVC volleyball tournament will be held here in Cedar Falls.

Weber helped lead the defense with 15 digs.

The MVP of the match would have to go to junior Heather Hook, who had 36 assists, eight digs, five kills and three blocks. That is more

assists than all 16 other girls who saw playing time combined.

In the St. Louis match, Haneline once more led the offense with 12 kills and helped out the defense with

three block assists. Hook led the defense with seven dig, three blocks and two solo blocks.

Seniors Arni Held and Weber both recorded double-doubles in both kills and digs; Held finished with 10 and 10, Weber finished with 11 and 11, just barely up one. With that win UNI started 2-0 for the first time since 2011.

The tournament finale was a relatively close affair despite the straight set sweep.

The Panthers came back from 19-12 in the first set to tie it at 21 all, before Michigan pulled away.

Michigan thoroughly controlled the second set once they took the early 7-6 lead.

The third set was similar to the first with UNI closing the gap and Michigan pulling away at the end. Weber led the team on offense with 13 kills,

while Held helped the defense with 15 digs and 2 blocks.

At the end of the weekend UNI finished second in the tournament to the host Michigan. While losing what was essentially the invitational title game was tough, the Panthers beat the teams they should have and put up a good fight against what was on paper a better team.

Michigan is just outside the top 25 lists and struggled to close out sets against UNI. The team also got to test out plenty of different players while still giving the core group a place to flex their muscles. At the end of the tournament both Held and Haneline were named to the All-Tournament team.

A positive showing at the Michigan Invitational sets UNI up for what could be a successful season.
