Hatch visits UNI

During his campaign for the governorship, democratic candidate Jack Hatch was invited by the University of Northern Iowa to speak at a forum held in Maucker Union Ballroom C Thursday afternoon.

Hatch focused his opening remarks on the importance of early childhood education and higher education.

“We know and acknowledge that the three state universities are our greatest three resources,” Hatch said. “There’s a lot of love between you and, sometimes, discourse.”

The three-person forum panel included Donna Hoffman, political science department head, Mary Harring, associate dean and Kevin Gartman, Northern Iowa Student Government president.

As a part of the magic show finale, magician John Cassidy crawls inside of a large balloon in attempt to retrieve a card.

No one is too old to be entertained by a magician.

Especially when the magician is five-time Guinness World Record Holder, John Cassidy.

Students in Lang Auditorium tried to decipher what the various balloons, trunks, decks of cards and other props sitting on stage could mean.

Then in a rupture of e xcitement, Cassidy bounced onto stage, creating balloon characters ranging from a giraffe to Charlie Brown, to the Roadrunner and finally ending with a dozen flowers which he threw into the crowd, showering audience members.

Pulling up Kaylee Wilson as a volunteer, Cassidy used

a disappearing toilet paper trick where he alternated a ball of paper between his hands to confuse Wilson before throwing it over her shoulder while she was not looking.

“I felt dumb,” said Wilson, accounting and actuary science double major. “I had never been in a magic show before so I was like ‘um-what?’ It was a lot of fun though.”

Cassidy’s show incorporated all of his favorite things including magic, balloons and unsafe toys from the 60’s, Not to mention the one-liners, bribes of cash and candy, as well as audience participation to make the show both dazzling and flashy for the spectators and volunteers pulled on stage.

New screen draws Cedar Valley to turf AMBER ROUSE

Executive Editor

Lounging on the UNIDome field, students and Cedar Falls residents enjoyed watching Saturday’s football game against South Dakota University on the newly installed HD video screen.

Sponsored by Cedar Falls Utilities, Panther fans were invited to show their school spirit by participating in the UNI-Dome’s screening.

They also enjoyed Hy-Vee catering and played games in a new way to utilize the dome’s field.

Panther trivia flashed across the big screen as

game-goers celebrated CFU’s 20th anniversary with cupcakes.

“It’s a lifetime experience.” said Brian Gabel, general manager of Panther sports properties. “You don’t get to come to the field everyday.”

Children ran around playing bags, forms of volleyball and soccer and threw footballs, while others chose their ideal spot with blankets brought from home.

To rally for the event, CFU ran commercials on t.v., social media outlets posted statuses and advertisements ran in the Courier, Gabel said.

Ebola prevention panel MORGAN AARHUS

Staff Writer

With the recent Ebola epidemic spreading across Liberia and trickling into the U.S., a panel featuring information about Ebola took place in Maucker Union Wednesday to address concerns of staff and students.

Among the panelists sat Michele Devlin, professor and director of the Iowa Center on Health Disparities and Catherine Zeman, professor and director of the UNI recycling center.

Ebola broke out earlier this year in West Africa, infecting thousands of people. The news hit closer to home when the first person in America was diagnosed with the disease in September after traveling to West Africa.

“Students should not, in general, be worried about their personal health from an Ebola epidemic in the United States at this point in time,” Devlin said.

However, Ebola is a very serious worldwide threat that is more immediate in other regions, espe-

cially West African countries such as Liberia and Sierra Leone, and it’s something students should be aware of, Devlin said.

Panelists advised getting a flu shot, practicing good hygiene by washing hands regularly and covering mouths when sneezing and coughing to boost public health.

on first, Zeman said.

If the virus becomes widespread in the United States, the CDC would most likely recommend avoiding skin contact with anyone exhibiting symptoms of Ebola, notifying authorities if you show symptoms and separating yourself from others, Zeman said Symptoms of Ebola must be present in an individual before it can spread to others. The CDC website lists the symptoms of Ebola, which include high fever, muscle pain, general weakness, stomach pain and unexplained bleeding.

“I’m very glad I attended the Ebola discussion,” said Samantha Pederson, freshman criminology major. “I learned the signs and symptoms of Ebola and how the situation is being handled.”

HATCH

continued from page 1

Hatch said he did not approve of the performance-based funding recently proposed by the Board of Regents because it forces the three state universities to compete against each other, rather than competing against out-of-state institutions.

“We are sadly entering an era where our regent universities are going to be forced to focus on how to compete for state resources and not solely focused on how to prepare our students for the world-class occupations [we’re preparing them for],” Hatch said.

Hatch argued our state universities should be focused on embracing their missions as universities and spend more time and resources on marketing those missions.

The candidate also proposed a chancellorship which would be appointed by the governor and recommended by the Regents.

This position would provide administrative coordination among the three universities and allow each president to focus on and carry out the universities’ missions.

“Too often, individual regent members ask for special favors [of the presidents],” Hatch said.

Hatch, who struggled with reading in his early schooling years, said current Gov. Terry Branstad has cut funding to “virtually every early childhood program we have.”

“I already supported Hatch before hearing this, but this solidifies it, you know, because the goals he put forward were so clear and straightforward and just common sense,” said Abby Gardyasz, freshman art studio major.

The one thing Gardyasz didn’t agree with was Hatch’s stance on the Common Core.

Hatch supports the Common Core. Gardyasz said she believes teachers should have more control over what goes on in the classroom.

“Hearing someone other than Terry Branstad is really refreshing,” Gardyasz said. “He was elected years and years ago and we still have him . . . It’s just common sense stuff.”

Just outside of the designated eating and drinking area stood a bouncy castle to keep kids entertained before the game.

As the Dome was open to everyone, fans who did not want to sit on the field began to fill stadium seats.

“You just don’t know who’s going to show up,” Gabel said.

A hidden gem, Outdoors COREY COOLING

coolingc@uni.edu

Last weekend, my significant other talked me into going on a backpacking trip with UNI Outdoors. At first, driving ten hours to the shores of Lake Superior to hike almost 20 miles in the cold didn’t exactly sound like an appealing idea.

I certainly wouldn’t consider myself an “outdoorsy” type of guy and haven’t been camping since I was eight, so I really had no idea what to expect. The things we do for love, right?

As it turns out, I had one of the most unforgettable experiences of my time at UNI. From the amazing fall colors of the forest to the huge cliffs of the Pictured Rocks lakeshore, I felt closer to nature than I had all summer.

Cooking and swapping stories by our communal campfire, I was able to have real human interactions without the distractions of phones or busy schedules. It’s my hope that all people in the UNI community appreciate and realize the excellent opportunities provided by UNI Outdoors and take advantage of their awesome opportunities.

We were guided on our trip by several coordinators from UNI Outdoors, UNI students

Any trip I take later in my life, I doubt I’ll be able to connect with my guides as much as I did last weekend.

who are passionate about the environment and have the experience to teach a bunch of college students all kinds of outdoor skills.

I was blown away by how professional, knowledgeable and friendly these students were. On our first night, they helped everybody put their tents together at 3 a.m. while it was pouring rain in the pitch dark!

From the meeting before the trip to the ride home, their primary goal was to make sure everyone had a good experience, while they had a great time themselves. Any trip I take later in my life, I doubt I’ll be able to connect with my guides as much as I did last weekend.

It’s now my fifth year at UNI and I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner!

UNI Outdoors plans a wide variety of trips throughout the fall, spring and summer.

I’ve always figured I’d travel and do “outdoorsy” stuff later in life, when I have the time, resources and knowledge. I’m probably wrong.

Take advantage of this opportunity while you can!

not be in the kind of shape to hike 20 miles in three days like you are now. Besides the clothes I wore and the food I brought, UNI Outdoors provided all the equipment, tents, permits and transportation for the trip (not to mention great advice).

All I paid was about $100 on my U-Bill. Never in my life am I going to want to drop a chunk of cash for camping supplies that it would take to do this on my own.

UNI Outdoors even rents their equipment out to students and faculty for the experienced folks.

Getting to the know the coordinators and other students on the trip gave me hope for our generation: we are still able to communicate without

technology at our fingertips.

Hiking for miles in the pure wilderness helped me remember how important the environment is, and how fragile that beauty is. I have developed a new appreciation for warm, dry, boots and how easy it is to sleep after a long day of hiking. Although I was pretty sore on Monday, the only thing I regret from taking the trip this weekend was that I didn’t do it sooner.

UNI community: take advantage of one of the bestkept secrets on campus, UNI Outdoors.

Students, you’ll likely never have the free time, money or motivation to do this on your own, use these great resources to get your feet wet and get yourself outside!

versity where the president, responsible for academics, is paid substantially less than a couple of our athletic coaches and the president has a oneyear contract as opposed to our basketball coach, who has a 10-year contract with termination penalties.

These long-term decisions may call into question just what the priorities are of the university. In the meantime, the state of Iowa ranks in the top 10 of all states having the highest levels of student loan debt at time of graduation.

As the cost of college at UNI has gone up, students and parents will seek to reduce expenses if it means graduation without a lot of debt.

One major threat to UNI recruiting in this regard is community college.

Presently, it is less expensive to go to an Iowa community college, in some instances the classes are smaller [because UNI reduced fac-

ulty positions under the Allen administration] and courses can be transferred to any of our three regents institutions.

UNI needs to look at reducing the cost of tuition, which means setting realistic budgets and not generating undue deficits; substantially increasing academic quality by transferring much needed financial resources from athletics and administration into hiring new faculty and rebuilding our educational brand; revamping placement in a way that emphasizes internships, co-ops and improving statistics on employment of our students at time of graduation.

These challenges are significant, in many ways more so than at any time in the history of our university. However, with good leadership they are not insurmountable.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I enjoyed reading the article on “Panther Fridays” because it identifies the three areas UNI must improve, if it is to increase enrollment of good, quality students.

For far too long UNI has been mired in a marketing mentality focused on comfortable residence halls, fine dining, athletics and the need to show purple most days of the week. Students and parents are looking for schools offering high-quality education, at an affordable price, with a placement office that allows students to get jobs in their chosen field.

Since 1990 there have been many changes challenging these desires. First, in 1990 we had a career planning and placement office where staff focused on good placement after graduation. Now we have a career planning office that gives students information on how a major might fit a particular job description.

In 1876 our university was founded on the grounds of a school that offered a K-12 education to Civil War orphans.

Our historical brand has been teaching, not athletics or purple shirts worn every Friday, and the symbol of our commitment to education was Price Lab School.

However, that brand [Price Lab] was torn down and despite the previous administration saying there was a plan to replace it with something better, we are still waiting for substantive details.

For the past 16 years the athletic department has been hemorrhaging money, anywhere from $4.5 to $5.5 million a year requiring a transfer of money from academic programming to pay these deficits.

The total amount taken away from academics amounts to a little more than $60 million. We now have a uni-

The price of college

-Dr. A. Frank Thompson professor of finance

One of the many questions I hear around UNI’s campus is: “Why are the prices so high?” Or “can I charge it to my U-bill?”

Knowing about great deals from my lovely mother taught me that some of the things we want in life are actually things we really don’t need.

Money is a daily battle for college students and learning that prices are completely absurd blows my mind that people still pay for what they want.

Was that $5 cheeseburger really worth it? No, but it was delicious going into your stomach.

As young adults, we start to focus on the want instead of the need and there has to be a change for the better.

We cannot keep going to our parents for every little thing and expect to know what to do in the real world.

News flash: Things aren’t handed to you. You have to work your tail off and learn to go with what you think is right. Mistakes are made every day by us knowit-all’s.

Change is coming very fast and knowing what to do will make you more independent, smart, a survivor, and most importantly: ready for anything that comes your way.

When I stepped on UNI’s campus, I was shocked by prices for a bag of chips or a bottle of water. Are you kidding?

Society is always telling us to try and save money. How can we when everything is more than two dollars, but we still buy it?

Sadness washes over me when I feel my money go down the drain. UNI student-body and faculty need to take a stand.

If we want to become a socalled “healthy” community, it starts with not buying junk food.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so instead of a “healthy” granola bar, go to one of the dining centers and treat yourself to fruit or cereal.

I think that since our parents are not around we feel that eating whatever we want can diminish other foods that mean the most.

The dining centers are here to kill the hunger, not gain the freshmen 15 when you have been here for the past 2 years already.

Next time you ask yourself: ‘Why are prices so high in college?’ Ask yourself: ‘Is it really worth it?’ And ‘what are the consequences when I eat this third Twinkie?’

Remember that college is a place to find yourself, but also to get an education that is worth everything in the future.

Dance Marathon members dreamed in orange as they celebrated open registration for Dance Marathon 2015.

More than 300 students attended the Dance Marathon Orange Party at the Campanile Thursday evening. Students who attended did not have to register for Dance Marathon, which will

be held March 7th, but registration was encouraged.

“I think the members are excited for the Dance Marathon, and for those who want to . . . they have plenty of time to register,” said Tyler Shuck, junior political science major. Shuck was the director of DM’s Orange Party.

Students could purchase shirts for Dance Marathon in either purple or orange.

Free food to students included orange soda and Buffalo Wild Wings catering.

Games varied from orange balls and orange flying plates. An area was blocked off with white and orange columns to designate it as a

playing area.

“This party is so much fun because of the free food and weather,” said Bethany Chatteron, senior graphic technologies major.

Chatteron served as the director of creativity for the Orange Party.

After an hour of eating, groups of people who were the first dancers for Dance Marathon introduced their names, year, major, where

they are from and which group of dancing they are related to.

“The party was fun, and it is my first time to register for the Dance Marathon and be a member. I am so excited and cannot wait until March,” said Natalie Tinoco, freshman political science major. “I love dance maniac because I am from Colombia and it is famous for dancing, especially the Zumba.

GUEST COLUMN

Relationship violence awareness month The month of October is a busy month full of changes.

From the leaves changing colors to the weather getting colder, Halloween is right around the corner and pink can be found everywhere in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But what people may not realize is October is also Relationship Violence Awareness Month.

This may also be recognized as domestic violence or intimate partner violence.

Victims of relationship violence may be exposed to physical, sexual and/or emotional violence. The purpose of the month-long awareness initiative is for all of us to work toward ending violence against women and children and to help promote healthy relationships.

Relationship violence is prevalent within every community.

Almost everyone has heard about the domestic vio-

lence incident last February between NFL player Ray Rice and his fiancée Janay Palmer. It is important to keep in mind this is one incident.

It is also important to note that college campuses are also communities that experience violent behavior. In fact, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, as many as 25 percent of college women experience sexual assault over the course of their college career. 90 percent of the victims of sexual assault on college campuses know their attacker. This violence is often found in couples. 60 percent of acquaintance rapes on a college campus happen in dating relationships.

Other college campus related statistics from loveisrespect.org said that women from the age of 16 to 24 have the highest rate of relation-

ship violence. Only 33 percent of young adults involved in a violent relationship ever tell anybody about the abuse and 50 percent of youth who are victims of dating violence or rape attempt suicide.

Now is the time to help raise awareness for this issue.

Women’s & Gender Studies and Student Wellness Services are bringing the Clothesline Project to UNI Oct. 13 to Oct. 17.

The Clothesline Project is an artistic visual representation of the pervasiveness of violence against women, the LGBTQ* community, and other marginalized populations.

Originally started on Cape Cod, MA, Clothesline Projects have emerged throughout the U.S. and worldwide as a way for survivors and allies against violence to express their emotions and feelings by decorating a T-shirt.

On Monday, Oct. 13 & Tuesday, Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Maucker Union, behind Chats, there will be a table available to design a t-shirt in support of this project. The shirts are color-coded to indicate different forms of abuse.

White: Women who died because of violence Yellow/Beige: Survivors of violence Blue/Green: Survivors of childhood sexual abuse Red/Pink/Orange: Survivors of rape and sexual assault Purple: People attacked because of sexual orientation Black: Women attacked for political reasons On Wednesday, Oct.15 the t-shirts will be displayed on a clothesline in Maucker Union. There will also be a showing of the documentary, “Telling Amy’s Story” at 7:30 p.m. in SRL 212 with a panel following. Thursday, Oct. 16,

the clothesline project will also be on display in Maucker Union.

Lastly, there will be a donation drive for the Riverview Center throughout the month. We are looking for the following donations: gently used clothing as well as new hygiene products. Any donations can be dropped off in the WGS office (SAB 225) or the Wellness Resource Lab (WRC 104).

If you or someone you know has been a victim of relationship violence, sexual assault, harassment or stalking, please contact Joan Thompson, UNI Victim Services Advocate by calling 319-273-2137 or emailing joan.thompson@uni.edu.

Use this time to educate yourself and help raise awareness about relationship violence.

UNI’s Campus Activities Board (CAB) selected Cassidy’s show due in part to the life lessons Cassidy taught during his performance. His lessons orbited around choosing adventure over fear, finding the true values in your life and remembering to laugh at the simple things.

Wilson was not the only audience member to be amazed, ashamed and embarrassed by Cassidy’s manipulation. Five other audience members were pulled on stage to participate in his manipulative acts and tricks from his “trunk of terror.”

Sage, another audience member, was tormented

with an exploding chipmunk, a flame-throwing doll and Dora the Explorer before doing a card trick that required using a house of cards and LED lights. Sage’s humiliation was not in vain as he walked away with $5 and a balloon sculpture featuring a stripper on a pole.

The tricks that followed kept the audience in fits of laughter and amazement with displays like a crying baby’s box, petting a biting bird’s beak, a ping pong ball gauntlet gun, the Home Depot bucket of truth and as a finale, a balloon large enough for Cassidy to crawl inside of in order to retrieve a card.

“You know what’s weird?

Four year olds catch on to these tricks by now,” Cassidy said.

They’re splitting costs with their parents on other expenses, like food and technology purchases, and relying on a variety of sources—including student loans, scholarships, and financial aid—to cover tuition and housing.

Some other shared responsibility scenarios include: 1. Parents pay for tuition, and room and board; student pays for all extras 2. Parents pay for expenses for in-state colleges; student who wants to attend college out-of-state pays the difference 3.

UNI picks up first MVFC win FOOTBALL

BRENNAN WHISLER

Sports Writer

The Panthers collected their first conference and road victory of the year as they beat the University of South Dakota 27-17. The win was sealed by a stout defense, which was led by sophomore linebacker Brett McMakin who had a teamhigh three sacks on the day and an interception early in the third quarter.

USD marched down the field on the opening drive of the game, converting on third and long three times before scoring on a Trevor Bouma 17-yard touchdown rush.

The UNI defense responded and kept them scoreless for the rest of the half and most of the third quarter.

The Coyotes led the Panthers 7-0 after one quarter of play.

Quarterbacks Sawyer Kollmorgen and Brion Carnes switched in and out routinely for the offense in the second quarter as they marched down the field to set up a 28-yard field goal for Michael Schmadeke.

McMakin helped pin the offense back deep with his second sack of the quarter, forcing USD into a threeand-out.

Chad Owens started the Panther drive off with a 25-yard punt return, setting

up what would be Carnes’ first touchdown pass of the season to Kevin Vereen.

With more defensive stops to end the half, the Panthers went into the locker room up 10-7.

The Panthers opening drive was stymied by an USD defense which forced a three-and-out.

On the first play after the punt, McMakin was once more in the thick of it as he

picked off Kevin Earl.

David Johnson ran for a touchdown five plays later, putting him into the top five for career points at UNI with 282.

A Miles Bergner 33-yard

field goal brought the Coyotes to within a touchdown with 3:51 left in the third quarter.

Schmadeke struck back with a field goal of his own from 34-yards out under two minutes later to put the Panthers back up by 13.

USD marched 99 yards in nine plays to score on an Earl 25-yard touchdown pass to Brandt Van Roekel.

Ronelle McNeil blocked the ensuing point after attempt, keeping the Panther lead at four.

UNI followed the USD score with a balanced drive that was capped off by a Kollmorgen 15-yard touchdown pass to Daurice Fountain. Kollmorgen’s lone touchdown pass of the day put the Panthers up 27-16.

USD put together a potential scoring drive before Deiondre’ Hall intercepted Earl’s pass on the UNI 15-yard line with 6:48 left in the contest.

UNI picked up a few first downs, allowing the clock to run down to zero and securing the Panther win.

Johnson accumulated 106 total yards, which puts him atop the career all-purpose yards category for UNI. After the first road win of the season, the Panthers return to the UNI-Dome to take on 19-ranked South Dakota State.
