Burnin’ Up some drag CASSIDY NOBLE Staff Writer

Lezbie Yoncé (Viet Le, senior communication major) performs in UNI Proud’s annual Halloween Drag-A-Ganza show.
High Heels, pantyhose and fishnets graced Commons Ballroom Tuesday night for a special Halloween show. UNI Proud’s annual Drag-A-Ganza kicked off with a half-hour dance party including the Cupid Shuffle and other pop and dance songs. Lezbie Yoncé (Viet Le) and Lady Xaxa (Xavia Publius) performed about half a dozen pop songs including “Ain’t Been Done” and “Burning Up” both by Jessie J. while the crowd whooped and hollered at certain provocative actions. “I love dancing,” said Viet Le, senior communication major and fifthtime performer at UNI Drag shows. “It is fun especially around midterms since everything is so stressful.” A dance party with strobe lights and pop music proceeded the Drag-A-Ganza’s annual costume contest where two males dressing as
Cosmo and Wanda were selected as the winners of a free t-shirt. To kick-off the second act, Xavia Publius sang “You Haven’t Seen The Last Of Me” by Cher, which is a new concept for UNI’s Drag Shows. Typically performers dance and mouth the words to their selected songs. Following Publius’ performance, the comm e n t at o r invited Wartburg’s Duh-versity Knights to the stage where they performed in vibrant orange shirts to conclude the evening’s show. The Duh-versity Knights were contacted about a week before the performance to come and attend. “It was challenging because we hadn’t seen the stage before and we were used to a lot bigger stage,” said Gabrielle Larson, co-captain of the Duh-versity Knights. “It was nerve-wracking of course, but at the end of the day it was fun.”

Re presentatives from almost fifty majors for underg raduate students at t e n d e d the ye a r ly Majors in Minutes event this past Tuesday. The event was hosted by the academic advisory office. Seniors had seven minutes to provide information about their majors to undecided or curious students. “I rate Majors in Minutes as 10 out of 10, and I absolutely recommend it to undecided major students,” said E l i z ab e t h Denniston, freshmen c r i m i n o l og y major. “I find it really helpful to get in Majors in Minutes and talk to people with experience in their field.” Angie Tudor, an academic advisor who helped organize the event, said UNI has held Majors in Minutes for six years and each year it grows.

Hall on Hudson haunts for hunger CASSIDY NOBLE Staff Writer
The brisk Tuesday air held the attention of the almost 600 students who paid their two dollars or canned food entry fee to go through the Horror on Hudson Haunted House. Serenaded by the music from KULT radio, many students waited out-
side the basement to Noehren Hall. Brought by the Noehren Hall Senate, Horror was an attempt to bring back to life the on-campus haunted house while raising money and food for the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. Emily Hummel, sophomore marketing major, said they were not trying to
replace the formal Haunted Houses. Instead, they were trying to create a more mild experience. However, once they added a multitude of ‘scare-actors’ (scary actors/ actresses) the haunted hall came to life. Hummel serves as Noehren Hall Senate President. “It is funny-scary now,” said Madeline Deegan, soph-
omore chemistry major. “But it was terrifying-scary in there.” Even from outside of the building, passersby could hear the high-pitched screams of students as they were cast into a cursed laundry room, a surgery room, a jail cell, a doll house and a sensory room. See HAUNTED HALL, page 4
