Counseling hours extended 一䔀圀 圀䔀䈀匀䤀吀䔀 KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

Life is unpredictable, and some of our most trying times do not happen between set business hours. The UNI Counseling Center, on the second floor of the Student Health Center, is open to students via appointment from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. But what happens when a student needs help outside of business hours?

This year, the Counseling Center is partnering up with Protocall, which has been around for 10 years and has been helping other counseling centers and mental health providers through call centers staffed by licensed mental health counselors.

According to David Towle, the UNI Counseling Center Director, the new addition will help students “get the help they need when they need it.”

With the Potocall alignment, students can now call

Involvement Fair.

According to Minshall, “When students get involved, it is the quality of your involvement and not the quantity.”

Christina Hackbart, junior leisure, youth and human services major, feels that having non-profit and volunteer organizations on campus helps students that have volunteer requirements in their major. She said these organizations provide networking opportunities for students.

“I think ... getting involved, not only on campus, but off campus, is super important

just for stronger community,” said Hackbart.

Stacy Baranowski, Eucalyptus Tree Program Coordinator at Cedar Valley Hospice, presented at the fair in hopes of recruiting good volunteers for her program.

In the past, she said taking part in volunteer fairs at UNI has proven beneficial.

Confessions of a soda addict GABE GRAVERT

gravertg @uni.edu

Hello, my name is Gabe.

I’m a pop addict.

I had my first drink when I was in fourth grade at one of my sister’s basketball games.

It was my mother’s Diet Pepsi. By ninth grade I was having at least two or three cans a day. I then started earning my own money and could buy for myself. So it grew to about two 20-ounce bottles a day. By the time I was a senior in high school I was having over two liters a day.

I never really recognized it as a problem until I tried to stop drinking pop because I wanted to become more fit.

It was harder than I thought it was going to be. I didn’t know if I was addicted to the caffeine, sugar or the drink itself, but when I tried to quit drinking, all I could think about was pop.

I was pop-free for about two months. But I started again once I entered college at AIB: College of Business.

I was drinking so much that you never saw me without a pop in my possession.

I still drink to this day. It’s a serious problem that I tried to quit numerous times, and I still want to. But it never seems to be the right time.

I am currently on my

fourth bottle of Mountain Dew today, and it is around 1:00 a.m.

I think this is a problem a lot of college students have.

It is one of the unhealthiest habits. The amount of sugar in pop is unreal, but the chemicals are the worst part, just eating your body away.

Although pop has been

pop afterword, then you can have it.

2. Buy caffeine free pop.

3. Stay away from pop triggers (e.g. fast food restaurants, gas stations, etc.).

4. Read horror stories from people that involved drinking pop. (Look up “rat dissolved in Mountain Dew can,” and watch the video.)

Now, for all the non-pop addicts, please be accepting

to our problem. For the most part, we recognize our problem, but there is little we can do about it. So I ask you to be supportive of us when we decided to try to quit, but understand if we fall back into our old ways.

To all of my fellow pop addicts: I understand your struggles, and I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone.

that event about the mythic war on Christianity instead of the real war on black and brown Americans, it made me sick.

But there is a war on the home front, and Christians are involved. In fact, no American is exempt from this war. It is even being fought on our UNI campus. I’m looking at you, UNI Right to Life, and your war on women’s healthcare and body autonomy. I’m looking at you, InterVarsity, and your policy that allows LGBT students to be members but not leaders in your organization.

And I’m even looking at you, unaffiliated Christians of UNI, and your refusal to see injustice anywhere as a threat to justice everywhere, an MLK quote you can find on the outside of Maucker Union.

If you’re planning to put on the armor of God, as it says in Ephesians 6:10-18, make sure your belt of truth obligates you to speak out for the rights of persons of color being targeted, beaten and killed by police; persons in the LGBTQIA community, for whom even going to the restroom can be a risk of life, also for persons who practice Islam, who actually are at risk in the US when they show their devotion to God.

There is a war being fought in many social and legal spheres, but it is against injustice, not Christians or

religious freedom. Why the rending of garments and weeping when same-sex couples were granted equality under the law, brothers and sisters in Christ? Why the constant efforts to keep women (especially low-income women) from utilizing the vital healthcare services of Planned Parenthood when Jesus set a precedent for quality women’s healthcare by healing the woman with the issue of blood? Where in the Bible are you guaranteed the right to not have to interact with people whose beliefs and values differ from your own?

Before I wrap up this article, a caveat, so no one can accuse me of painting with too broad of a brush: progressive Christians do exist, and I respect what they do for justice every day. Also, a piece of information to keep you from dismissing me as a Bibleilliterate, Godless liberal: I spent this summer as an intern at a Christian publishing company developing Sunday school materials for children.

Call me what you will, but Bible-illiterate would just be inaccurate.

So, yes, there is a war here in America, or rather, there are many intersecting political wars being fought in courtrooms, classrooms and blocked-off streets, and too many Christians are not on side of the angels.

UNI for Bernie Sanders “Who is Bernie Sanders and why should we care?”

Many UNI students are asking themselves this as they hear his name daily in the news or walk past the volunteer table on campus. This is why the organization UNI Students for Bernie Sanders 2016 has begun — to educate UNI students on Bernie’s policy proposals, past actions and to bring the grassroots movement that is growing all over the USA to UNI’s campus.

Now why should you care about Bernie Sanders?

First and foremost, he has developed the College for All Act, which would essentially make college tuition free and allow students with existing loans to refinance them from 4.32 percent interest rates to 2.32 percent interest rates.

The Act would be paid for by taxing Wall Street (0.5 percent on stock trades, a 0.1 percent fee on bonds, and a 0.005 percent fee on derivatives), which could raise hundreds of billions of dollars a year.

Furthermore, Bernie refuses to allow the corporations and the top 1 percent to buy campaigns.

He supports banning corporations and non-profit organizations from unlimited campaign expenditures. This way, our President has been

around for a long time, recently people have been drinking it more and more.

In the past they drank it sparingly because it was expensive and stores didn’t carry much of it. Whereas water and alcohol can be made by almost anyone, pop was only made by mass production.

Now that we have a more efficient way of transporting pop it is consumed at a high rate.

We don’t really know what effects that pop will have on us long-term. There have been studies and speculation, but there is no definite answer.

I am a little scared to see what pop will do to my body when I am older. I already see some effects that it has had on my health, including: chronic fatigue, weight gain, chest pain and withdrawal headaches.

If you have this problem I urge you to keep trying to quit. Here are some ways you will help you quit: 1. Every time you want a pop, choose a glass of water instead. If you still want the

chosen by the citizens of the USA rather than Big Business.

These two issues are just the beginning. He is a voice of the people on many issues, including: racial justice, the rights for the LGBTQIA community, the gender pay gap, climate change, fair and humane immigration policies, raising the minimum wage, decreasing the wage gap between the rich and poor, health care reform and more.

Now is the time to do the research, ask questions and join the grassroots movement. Do you have doubts on how his ideas will work?

Contact us and we will provide you with the answers you need!

“This campaign is about a grassroots movement of Americans standing up and saying: ‘Enough is enough!’

automatically guilty by law enforcement and media outlets, like many people of color experience. Just like people who are trans or nonbinary, it must be impossible for Christians to find a safe place to go to the restroom without being stared at, harassed or beaten. And when I was walking home on a Saturday night with my hijabi Muslim roommate last spring, I’m sure the young men on the Hill who screamed “immigrant” in our faces were talking to me, because my family is Irish Catholic.

I concede that there are many places around the world where it is dangerous to be a Christian and many places where it is dangerous to be religious in general.

The United States is not one of those places. The war on Christianity I’m talking about is a war that has been manufactured by the GOP fear-machine and conservative Christian politicians like Mike Huckabee.

The fear-mongering rhetoric of a war on Christianity is dragged up each time conservative Christians are upset by social progress in the US. The most nauseating example of this is the morning news cycle after the tragic mass shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.

Film based on memoir fails to deliver JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic

Based on the travel memoir of the same name, “A Walk in the Woods” is about travel writer, Bill Bryson (Robert Redford), deciding to defy his elderly age, the warnings of his wife, Catherine (Emma Thompson), and challenge himself to hike the Appalachian Mountains. With his long lost friend, Stephen Katz (Nick Nolte), coming along for the trip, the two of them begin the harrowing trek on the Appalachian Trail.

Directed by Ken Kwapis (“He’s Just Not That Into You”), the movie has some honest parts and good writing.

The first third of the film sets up characters and seems to

it just occurs too many times.

Overall, “A Walk in the Woods” is a very simple movie.

It doesn’t beat you over the head with the drama of an elderly man overcoming doubts and age limits; it just invites you along for “a walk in the woods.” And it delivers on that. The film is never overly serious, and that is something that can be appreciated about it. It could have been a lot worse, but just like the memoir it’s based on, it is at-heart a comedy about two grumpy old men meandering through the woods, reminiscing about their youth, thinking about what lies ahead of them and running into the occasional bear/abrasive hiker.

Organizations display posters and hand out flyers with information at the Student Organizations Fair.

INVOLVEMENT FAIR continued from page 1

Well-known organizations on campus, such as UNI Dance Marathon and CAB (Campus Activities Board) also had booths at the fair. Other organizations, such as St. Stephen the Witness, UNI Ballroom/ Swing, Camp Adventure and a number of Greek organizations were present as well.

Love Your Melon, a relatively new organization on campus, took part in the fair for the first time to recruit members, spread awareness and pass out promotional gear.

The campus organization was established last spring, according to Melissa Miller, President of Love Your Melon UNI Campus Crew.

“We’re a non-profit organization dedicated to improving

lives of children battling cancer,” said Miller.

Each purchase of Love Your Melon merchandise provides a hat to children with cancer, and a portion of the proceeds also help cover costs for cancer patients and cancer research, said Miller. The remaining proceeds cover therapeutic events hosted by the organization.

According to Miller, the campus crew has 20 initial members, known as the “focus group,” while their waitlist and volunteer list continues to grow, with approximately 100 new members signed up at the Student Involvement Fair.

Contact information for the organizations at the fair can be found on the online UNI Student Organizations Directory, for those who could not attend but are interested in more information.

After first loss, UNI looks toward Dome opener DYLAN PADY

Sports Writer

On Saturday, Sept. 5, the UNI football team traveled to Jack Trice Stadium to take on the Iowa State Cyclones in front of a record crowd 61,500. However, the Panthers lost, 31-7, as they had some growing pains, but the season opener always offers many chances for improvement.

Head Coach Mark Farley emphasized being in control and seizing opportunity during an interview after the game.

“I felt our defense was doing some good things, and there was some good things about our offense, but there was no consistency,” Farley said. “That’s why you didn’t feel like you could ever get control, because you didn’t have that consistent play.”

This game was a huge opportunity for the team to see what needs to happen to achieve greatness. And with more work, that consistency will be there.

This Saturday at 1 p.m. , the Panthers will have home field advantage against the Eastern

NORTHERN IOWAN ARCHIVES

UNI looks forward to their first home game this Saturday at 1 p.m. vs Eastern Washington. The Panthers won six of seven games played in the UNI-Dome last season.

Washington Eagles, who are coming off a hard loss against No. 7 Oregon, as well as losing key roverback, John Kreifels, after a late hit against Oregon’s quarterback. Oregon came out on top, 61-42.

The Eagles’ head coach, Cooper Kupp, says UNI’s strength is in its defense.

In their game against ISU, De’Angelo Jennings had eight tackles for his first time at linebacker, Deiondre’ Hall had nine tackles and two forced fumbles while Karter Schlut added eight tackles along with two sacks.

Eagles roverback Todd Raynes notes UNI’s aggression when both the quarterback and running back carry the ball. “[They]Are very downhill runners who like to pound you.” Raynes said.

After giving up 731 yards to Oregon’s offense on Saturday, the Eagles defense will look to adjust to UNI’s recently acquired “ground n’ pound” play style. Both teams have a strong chance at taking home the win this Saturday. With 0-1 records, each team will be hungry for their first win of the season.

Panthers bounce back with third shutout win BRANDON TJEPKES

Sports Writer

The University of Northern Iowa women’s soccer team bounced back from two straight losses with a shutout win versus Western Illinois, 3-0, on Tuesday night. The win marks the third shutout for the Panthers, all of which have been at home.

Goalkeeper Whitney Blunt saved two early shots within the 12th and 13th minutes by the Leather necks’ Skylar Jessop. Blunt played all 90 minutes, finishing the game with four saves.

Within the 16th minute, junior Amber Nieland followed a corner kick with the first goal of the match to give the Panthers the early 1-0 lead, marking her second goal of the season.

Western Illinois’ goalkeeper, Victoria Kappel, was also having a decent first half as she saved three shots to keep the lead from extending, but the Panthers were able to score IRIS FRASHER/NORTHERN IOWAN again right before halftime.

Freshman Meredith McManaman was substituted in the match within the 61st minute and scored her first career goal the next minute, with Katie Witt on her third assist of the season.

Western Illinois had one last chance to put up a score, but Samantha Lehnen’s shot was wide off target to seal the 3-0 shutout.

While the Panthers had a lot of scoring opportunities, attempting 11 shots with seven on target, the main aspect of the match was their defense. They held the Leathernecks to only five shots, while Blunt saved all four that were on target.

UNI will be back on the road on Friday to take on Illinois-Chicago at 7 p.m.
