TRICK When spending your hard-earned money, you want to know you’re getting a good deal, right? Here are 5 SAVVY SHOPPING TIPS that will help ensure that sweet deal is a treat, not a trick. 1. WATCH FOR SALES — Most stores have a pattern to their sales. Ask and you might get clued in to when the best deals are available. 2. READ THE FINE PRINT — Sale dates, extra costs, and what is or is not included in the sale are often listed in the fine print, so always read it! 3. PREVENT BUYER’S REMORSE — Don’t impluse buy! 4. COMPARE PRICES — Many retailers will match or beat prices from other stores. Shop around and be prepared with competitors’ ads. 5. SAVE UP FOR BIG PURCHASES — Open a savings account and set money aside for those big-ticket items. *Source: moneytalks4teens.org

Panthers record 7th sweep, defeat Drake 3-0 RILEY UBBEN
Sports Editor
The Panthers moved to 8-2 in Missouri Valley Conference play on Saturday as they swept the Drake Bulldogs in three sets, recording a .438 hitting percentage in the second set win. UNI took an early 7-5 lead before the Bulldogs scored four straight points, taking a 9-7 lead midway through the first set. Kinsey Caldwell came out and did more than just set, knotting two kills early in the first set and racking up seven kills in the first
two sets. Down 15-14, Leigh Pudwill tied the set and sparked a UNI run where the Panthers scored four straight to take a lead that would stand the rest of the way. Pudwill finished with a team-high 11 kills. The Panthers jumped out to an 11-4 lead in the second set, forcing a Drake timeout to attempt to stop the UNI attack. The attempt proved fruitless as the Panthers continued to dominate the set, scoring six straight to take a 22-10 lead. Caldwell closed out the set on another kill, giving UNI a 25-13 win.
UNI looked like they were going to run away with the third set early, scoring six straight once again and taking a 14-9 lead before forcing another Drake timeout. Drake recovered after the timeout and pulled within two before eventually knotting the set at 21. Kayla Haneline’s kill with the score at 24-23 gave the Panthers a 25-23 set win, completing their seventh sweep of the season. UNI will continue play on Friday as they take on MVC second place holder Missouri State before playing Wichita State on Saturday.

Johnson tops list, UNI wins 27-13 BRENNAN WHISLER
The Panther offense would turn it right back over as Charles Brown fumbled the ball away near the goal line. The fourth started quickly as Johnson scored his second touchdown a minute into the quarter. Up 27-7, Deiondre’ Hall picked off Trenton Norvell on the next drive. WIU was able to answer with a Quadarias Mireles touchdown reception. With just over three minutes left Max Busher sealed the win with a interception in the endzone, allowing the Johnson and company to run the clock out and win 27-17. Johnson finished the game with 160 yards rushing on 29 attempts. Next week, the Panthers are set to play ninth-ranked Illinois State at 4 p.m. in the UNIDome.
Sports Writer
The Panthers were able to bounce back from a tough loss this week as they beat the Western Illinois Leathernecks 27-13. Running back David Johnson lead the way with 223 all-purpose yards, 146 on the ground, and a pair of rushing touchdowns. He also broke the school record for career touchdowns, as he currently has 51. Brion Carnes, receiving his first start of the season, led the Panthers downfield for a Michael Schmadeke 32-yard field goal to start the game. The defense forced a threeand-out on WIU’s following drive thanks in part to a Xavier Williams sack, his first of two sacks on the day. Chad Owens punt return of 37 yards put the Panthers 36 yards out and Johnson would capitalize on the short field, scoring on an eight-yard rush to give UNI a 10-0 lead. Carnes opened up on the first drive of the second quarter, going 80 yards in 12 plays and hitting Chad Owens for a

20-yard touchdown. After forcing another punt, the Panther offense set Schmadeke up for his careerlong field goal, a 49 yard boot through the uprights.
WIU’s David McDaniel blocked Logan Bieghler’s punt, ultimately leading to a Hi-C Scott touchdown reception. It cut the Panther lead to 20-7 heading into the locker room for

Panthers struggle to find offense against UE RILEY UBBEN

CASSIDY NOBLE/Northern Iowan
The Panthers recorded three shots on Saturday in their 3-0 loss to Evansville. UNI put three shots on net in the contest.
UNI struggled once again to get shots during their 3-0 loss to Evansville on Saturday. The Panthers recorded just nine shots, putting only three of those on net. The Panthers kept UE scoreless in the first 34 minutes before goalkeeper Whitney Blunt was given a red card and forced to leave the game. Evansville’s Bronwyn Boswell capitalized on the ensuing penalty kick,
giving them the momentum against a cold goalkeeper in Blunt’s replacement, Tiffany Oliver. UE wasted no time after taking a 1-0 lead, scoring under two minutes later on a cross that found Montana Portenier to move the lead to 2-0. Oliver recovered, saving a shot during the UE onslaught to end the first half. Oliver finished with five saves in relief of Blunt. Evansville found the back of the net once again at the
58 minute mark for their third and final goal of the game. UNI’s best chance at finding a goal came with 10 minutes remaining. Katie Witt fired a shot on net that was saved by Evansville’s backup goalkeeper, Whitney Biggs. Sarah Brandt’s shot was blocked by a defender 30-seconds later, ending the Panther attack. The Panthers play their final home game on Thursday at 5 p.m. before heading into Missouri Valley Conference tournament play on Sunday.

Halloween: science edition ZAINAB ALREBH
Staff Writer
Halloween makes a perfect concoction when you mix together a decked-out house and chemistry. The University of Northern Iowa Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society and students from the biology, physics and earth science departments hosted the annual “Halloween House.” Halloween House has been at UNI for five years, and offers free admission for children of all ages The event was intended to teach participants the fun of three sciences: chemistry, biology and physics, along with
the scheduled Halloweenthemed demonstrations, such as “Devil’s den,” “Witches’ lair” and “Pirate’s cove.” Felicia Thadison, chemistry instructor, said last year’s family favorite station was the “Devil’s den.” The “Devil’s den” focused on flames and how chemistry students could make them into different colors and shapes. Angela Wrage, senior chemistry and biology double major, said the exhibits are completely safe, with the flames kept away from the families. Protective gear was also provided. A new station this year was “Frankenstein’s lab” which showed visitors different physics and chemistry con-

cepts. Biology students showed children the difference between fruits and vegetables and the difference between insects and spiders. Jade Simpson, junior biology major, has helped with the Halloween House for three years. She preferred to stay at the creepy crawlies station to show pictures of arachnids and insects, letting children figure out the differences between them. “Witches’ lair,” or the witchery recruitment, focused on interactions between the elements of chemistry. Demonstrators offered families the chance to break flowers that had been dipped in nitrogen.

Eric Pimentel puts a ball in nitrogen to show the results to the audience. Halloween House was hosted by the UNI Student Chapter of the American Chemical Society. The event took place last Friday in McCollum Science Hall.
The overall competition was a success. People came and went as they saw a little latte magic. Maureen Nolan, sophomore psychology and family services double major, was in the crowd watching the art. “It’s really impressive, the leaves look like actual leaves; it’s beautiful,” Nolan said. “What do they do when they are done with the lattes? Also, why don’t they use sprinkles? These are the questions that haunt me.” Beth Keesey, a Sidecar
barista who competed in this throwdown, said, “I’m constantly learning; I started simple and then moved to more complex designs.” Judges for the competition included three area coffee enthusiasts. They made the tough decision on who the final winner would be. The winner of the latte art throwdown was Austin Kinsey, who has been with Sidecar since it opened almost a year ago. “When I’m working every latte for here, I take extra time to make sure it looks good,” Kinsey said. “Half the experience is what it looks like.”
Students making a difference through volunteering KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer
Volunteer. That is the focus of Make a Difference Day, which drew students to Maucker Union Saturday. Make A Difference Day is the largest national day of community service, in which the University of Northern Iowa has participated since 2009. “Make A Difference Day benefits UNI students by allowing them to get
involved on campus and in the community, meet new people and donate a few hours to help someone else,” said Katherine Polit, junior communicative disorders major. The Days of Service Committee, along with the Service and Leadership Council, organized four services for students to carry out. For the Habitat for Humanity, students made tie blankets that were to go to families moving into
the houses. Other students helped prepare supplies for educational kits to be used by students and teachers who are part of the Fabulous Resources for Energy Education loan program. A clean up of College St. and the creation of sock monkeys for children completed the variety of tasks. “I volunteer because it helps other people and it’s nice to help other people and it also makes you, as
a person, feel good about helping other people,” said Michelle Temeyer, sophomore accounting and finance double major. Even though Make A Difference Day happens once a year, there are other ways for students to get involved in volunteer work. “A good way to do this is to visit uni.edu/ involvement/slc. This is the Service and Leadership Council’s home page. There are always new opportu-
nities for people to sign up for a volunteer event or even join a committee,” Polit said. “There are at least one to three different events every month.” John Hernandez, freshman studio art major, needed to attend Make a Difference Day for a class, but did so knowing the benefits of volunteering. “It gives you the experience to help out other people and not just sit in our dorms,” Hernandez said.

How can UNI make campus intolerant of assault cases? ASHLEY DAVIDSON Opinion Columnist
Between the “It’s On Us” campaign and offensive Yik Yaks, opinions at UNI are at an all-time high. When things like this happen on a university campus, chatter becomes louder. People miraculously become advocates against such issues. The “It’s On Us “campaign consumes Facebook profile pictures and the campus. Some of the Northern Iowan staff wrote about Yik Yak and its dangers to UNI’s campus. As a biracial woman, I became frustrated with some of the
black community complaining about the Yik Yak posts. Talking about these issues needs to be on the forefront for as long as they are a problem. Working to advance your race or any other part of your identity should be an everyday occurrence. We should be part of a solution way before an actual problem occurs. I hope this inspires people affected by
Yik Yak to be an advocate from here on out for their identities. My fear is that these very important issues will once again be pushed under the rug as soon as they are irrelevant. Another problem with finding long-lasting solutions is that it relies on the leaders of the University. The faces of UNI need to be passionate about these matters for any change to occur.
They cannot attend events promoting inclusiveness or the stance against sexual assault and just go through the motions. Are they attending these events because they care about the issue, or do they just care about the reputation of themselves and the University? I heard of one person who recently attended a diversity event because they were “trying to be inclusive.” No one
is forcing you to care about these issues. To all students, faculty and staff who want to be a part of change at UNI: Do it with passion and do it long after it stops filling your news feeds and class discussions. Some of us can see through the publicity stunts and are not impressed with the lack of sincerity. However, there are very passionate people who continue to work on solutions to these issues. You are appreciated for being great leaders in promoting change and know your work is inspirational.

“Every student that has come back has said that they are seeing their life through different eyes and being so much more appreciative of what we have here,” said Victoria Robinson, head of the department of educational leadership and former program instructor. “It is truly a life changing experience.” Education majors may take the opportunity to travel to Tanzania this spring to help teach 50 to 60 Tanzanian students. The students must memorize what their teacher is saying due to the inadequate supplies provided. If students are not able to memorize the necessary information to pass the end of the year exam, they must leave the school.

UNI offers the Ultimate Field Experience, where students travel to Tanzania to teach in an under-supplied schoolhouse and experience a unique environment.
UNI students help by teaching basic math and rudimentary English. According to Robinson, an American flag hangs in the classroom because the students love UNI and how much our students contribute to their learning. “It was just incredible,” Dobney said of the experi-
ence. “The people are the most positive and kind people that I have ever met and they have so little compared to us. You just fall in love.” More information is available on the Study Abroad website, including Dobney’s article giving a brief overview of her experience.
Although spring break is not too far away, there is still plenty of time to learn more about the special study abroad opportunity. “To be able to understand that the sky is the same color blue no matter where you go is a very awesome experience,” Robinson said.

McLeod maddens up IAN SHILHANEK Staff Writer
The men and women’s basketball teams participated in McLeod Madness Thursday to get Panther fans excited for the upcoming basketball season. The men’s and women’s teams competed against each other in a three-point contest in which Deon Mitchell, senior family services major, out-shot Erin Dohnalek, sophomore economics major, for the crown of best three-point shooter of the night. Klint Carlson, sophomore deciding major, won the slam-dunk competition with dunks that wowed the crowd. Teammate Jeremy Morgan, sophomore deciding major, competed in the event wearing a Go Pro camera on his head, filming his dunks from his perspective. “I liked that they showed videos when they were setting up for the next parts. My favorite part was the slam-dunk contest because
I know Klint, Bennett and Jeremy,” said Ellen Barbaresso, junior Math Education major. Sharnae Lamar, senior economics major, and Marvin Singleton, senior advertising and digital media major, teamed up to win the skills competition. The skills competition saw a member of both the men’s and women’s squads team up to dribble the ball through cones before taking a shot, then race back to pass the basketball through a wooden cutout. The night also saw the men’s team split in two and scrimmage against one another for nine minutes. The women’s team did the same only they scrimmaged against various men from campus. Ten students were selected at random to take half-court shots, with a semester’s tuition paid infull as the prize for making the shot.

Lattes lovers gathered at Sidecar coffee on Friday to witness a never-before seen event in Cedar Falls: a Latte Throwdown. The latte throwdown was an opportunity for the public to come watch different coffee enthusiasts take part in some friendly competition to see who could decorate the best lattes. Latte art throwdowns happen in big cities amongst different coffee shops. In Iowa there has only been three this year, two in Iowa City and one right here in Cedar Falls. The throwdown was a way for the coffee shops to connect with one another and learn different skills from each other. “All the coffee people in bigger cities will get together,” said Andy Fuchtman, owner of Sidecar. “You can have shops that aren’t competing and still learn a ton from them.” See LATTE, page 4
