Darwin Week 2018

SARAH HOFMEYER Staff Writer

“Science is not a democracy.

It is a dictatorship. It is evidence that does the dictating,” wrote John Reisman, author of Exposing the Climate Hoax.

This week, UNI Freethinkers and Inquirers gave science a week-long spotlight, entreating students to listen to the evidence and be skeptical of the world around them.

Darwin Week featured a wide array of lecturers and topics. Tuesday’s lecture by Dr. Lisa Millsaps, assistant professor of geography education and social science education, centered around skepticism, uncertainty and vulnerability in geography. Millsaps explained that maps are a tool to simplify com-

plex patterns. They offer enhanced insight and context, but they are limited by distortions of shape, area, distance and data manipulation.

Regardless, Millsaps discussed Americans’ limited knowledge about maps.

“It simply does not occur to the ordinary American intellectual that a map is more than a thing that describes location,” Millsaps said. “A good map raises more questions than it answers. We are taught the textbook is God. It’s great when we learn new things. It should be celebrated.”

Millsaps further explained that maps can exaggerate data or even lie, and students need to realize how to properly evaluate what a map is telling them.

Millsaps sees this knowledge as essential, yet unknown to many.

“Americans are taught from an early age to analyze and understand the meaning and manipulation of words, but they are rarely taught the same skills about maps,” Millsaps said.

Millsaps ended her lecture with a few tips for students to

consider when they evaluate a map. Students should use the map’s title as a resource and guide to thinking about the data, check the source, and think about what idea is being pushed.

Tuesday’s keynote lecturer, Diane Burkholder, spoke to students about intersectionality within the freethought movement, including how there is not enough action. Burkholder discussed how hatred is thriving, even here in the Cedar Valley, as this area was rated as the 10th worst city in the U.S. for African Americans by 24/7 Wall Street and the Huffington Post.

Burkholder’s key message was compelling for students: All oppression is connected, and we do not live single-issue lives.

Burkholder discussed the term intersectionality, which is not a term synonymous with identity, but rather describes how structures make certain identities vulnerable. It is not about counting how many identities people have, but Burkholder warned that the student affairs profession uses the term this way. Burkholder described this as the term being co-opted and watered down, saying “inter-

sectionality is being colonized by white people.” She urged students to use words in their applied contexts.

Burkholder’s lecture provided insight to the flaws in society’s discussion of racism and other discrimination. She explained that racism is referred to as a binary, with racist individuals being “bad, ignorant, southern and old” while not racist

ple are homophobic. The question is not whether or not you are racist, the question is if you are anti-racist — what do you do to actively be an ally?”

Burkholder’s critique on the ally community did not stop here, as she argued that everyone is racist, but it is often the “I want to eat crunchy food and do yoga racism” and not “confederate flag Cheeto president

individuals are “good, educated, progressive, young and northern.” This is not the issue to be discussing, according to Burkholder.

“All white people are racist, men are sexist and straight peo-

racism.”

“It’s the tolerance or defense of their presence of people who claim to be on the side of justice and equality,” Burkholder said.

away, or at least not answering the door,” he said. “I finally wanted to open the door to some of them. And there were brave people who accepted my invitation and said yes.”

The resulting project was “Conversations with People Who Hate Me,” a podcast where Marron records phone conversations with people who had left hate comments on his videos.

“People don’t radically change at the end of a phone call, but what I see this podcast doing is that I see it is planting a seed,” Marron said. “And that’s because this podcast is trying to bring nuance into the internet.

It is very, very hard to bring nuance into a comment section.”

Marron indicated that his interest in social issues started at a young age, when he was at a casting call and noticed that all of the children being selected to advance to the next stage were white.

“Being told no, you didn’t get this job, is one thing, but being told you’re actually not even allowed to apply for it is quite another,” Marron said. “So, I

wanted to figure out what this had to do with something far beyond me.”

The result of this curiosity was the popular video series “Every Single Word.” “‘Every Single Word’ is a series that edits down popular films to only the words spoken by people of color as a way to lay out the facts of representation in film,” Marron said. “And the results are actually pretty damning.”

The movies selected for the project, Marron explained, were all universal stories where race was not a significant plot point.

Some of the films in the project contain less than one minute of dialogue from actors of color.

Some examples, such as “Into the Woods,” don’t feature any.

Marron also discussed the concept behind “Sitting in Bathrooms with Trans People.”

The series features conversations held in bathrooms with trans activists, to satirize the perceived danger that caused some state legislators to propose “bathroom bills.”

KELSEY CHIDLEY Staff Writer

On Thursday, Feb. 15, UNI hosted actor and writer Dylan Marron for a presentation titled “Beta, Snowflake, Cuck: On Being a Digital Creator.”

Marron discussed the unique way that he uses his digital platform to address current social

issues.

“We’re so scared that if we donate empathy to someone we so radically disagree with, that we’re affirming everything they’re saying,” Marron said. “I believe we have a huge well of empathy to share with people, and if we’re willing to share it and donate it to some people, that doesn’t cosign

everything they’re saying — it just acknowledges that they’re human.”

Marron works with website Seriously.tv and has produced video series such as “Every Single Word,” “Sitting in Bathrooms with Trans People” and “Unboxing with Dylan Marron.” These projects address social and political issues in a lighthearted and often satirical way.

Marron also plays Carlos on the podcast “Welcome to Night Vale,” and his projects have been nominated for a variety of awards.

Marron explained that the accessibility of the Internet makes it a perfect platform to discuss these complex issues.

Throughout the presentation, Marron displayed negative comments that some viewers had left on his videos, pointing out the humor in even the most hateful statements. He then described how he uses those responses to produce more social commentary.

Relay for Life clothing swap FEBRUARY 19, 2018

PEYTON HUSMANN Staff Writer

On Monday Feb. 19, UNI’s Relay for Life will be hosting a clothing swap from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Maucker Union Ballroom.

It costs five dollars to participate and all of the proceeds will be going to the American Cancer Society.

The event is also open to the public.

“People can get clothes for a low price,” said Katrina Ganschow, an executive for Relay for Life and senior elementary education major.

“Anything you want to get rid of, we’ll take.”

The five-dollar participa-

Burkholder connected this issue to the “us versus them” mentality allies tend to take on. She explained that, in the atheist community, she witnesses people focusing on exposing how wrong “they” are, because it is “satisfying and comforting,” but we are them, and examining oneself is important. She added that everyone needs to give criticism a fair hearing. After apologizing, allies need to “pick themselves up and get back to work,” according to Burkholder.

swap is that I donate the leftover clothes to places in need,” Ganschow said. “For example, last year I donated everything to Riverview Center, which is a place where individuals that have been affected by sexual assault or domestic violence can go.”

Ganschow said that she is still in the process of looking for a place to donate the clothes this year, but she plans on donating them to a local homeless shelter.

The clothing swap will accept men’s, women’s and children’s clothes.

Ganschow said that not only will this benefit the American Cancer Society, but it will benefit the community

walk away,” Burkholder said.

“Privilege is synonymous with children saying ‘that’s it. I’m taking my toys and going home.’”

Finally, Burkholder urged attendees to act. She argued that the first step to dismantling an unjust system is for everyone to work together. She said that means not letting the marginalized people do all the work.

“Men need to talk about how to smash the patriarchy,” Burkholder said.

Allies can help by using their voice. Burkholder used an example of white men “checking” other white men on Facebook when they make

an ignorant comment. They need to actively talk about the issues; when they don’t, marginalized people become tokenized, according to Burkholder.

Allies can also use their power to ask who is missing from a conversation.

Burkholder notes that quotas are not what she means, but rather being more cognizant of the voices that are not being taken into consideration and getting those people to the table. Finally, allies can “stay in their lane.”

Burkholder explained that allies need to be an active part of conversations, but when “black and brown people have their own spaces, you shouldn’t insert yourself into this space.”

“Marginalized folks, listen to your gut, learn about internalized oppression, create unapologetic space, be mindful of emotional labor and call on your whisperers,” Burkholder said.

Whisperers, Burkholder explained, are the people you can tag on social media to “check” people of their own privileged group. She argued that, as unfortunate as it is, white bigots may only listen to other white people, and so on.

Burkholder ended her lecture with a quote from Rajani

People can donate or take as many or as little clothes as they would like.

Ganschow said that last year there was a girl who filled up an entire garbage bag full of clothes.

Then all she had to do was donate five dollars and she was able to take all of them.

“Our goal is to raise money for the American Cancer Society, then give back to the community,” Ganschow said.

“Individuals not only participating in the swap are

benefiting, but the community is benefitting as well,” Ganschow said.

Gudlavalleti, a community organizer: “Social justice is a strategy; it is how we historically oppressed peoples build collective power to design and realize a more equitable society that is accountable to history. To be truly humanist is to unconditionally embody the responsibility of social justice.”

Darwin Week featured many other speakers as well.

Wednesday’s keynote, Tim Bergin, professor of biology at Des Moines Area Community College, discussed the history of Charles Darwin.

Bergin traced Darwin’s roots to his training as a clergyman and naturalist, discussing how his family life and experiences that shaped his later beliefs.

According to Bergin, Darwin’s fascination with nature was sparked on his first voyage with Robert Fitzroy, Captain of the H.M.S. Beagle.

Darwin was not the official naturalist onboard, but he became inspired by different seashells, famously writing there was “a feeling of wonder that so much beauty should be apparently for no purpose.”

Bergin further explained that Darwin’s famous theories came much later in his life.

“He started to lose his religion in the 1850s when his

child died,” Bergin said. From then on, Darwin’s life became that of a recluse, with other scholars visiting his home for collaboration.

On his estate, Darwin spent the last of his days creating his ideas detailed in the “Origin of the Species,” where he discussed descent with modification, or what many today know as evolution.

“There is grandeur in this view of life… from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved,” Darwin said.

Other keynotes included Christopher Johnson, who lectured on what it means to be an atheist in modern times.

The final keynote of the week, Mary Beth Hanlin, discussed the evolution of disease. This included a deeper look at how diseases have changed in the way they spread.

Brock Hefel, a senior political science major, found this week to be an enriching experience.

“Darwin Week never fails to provide a great lineup of authors, philosophers and activists who present on intriguing topics,” Hefel said.

“The enlightening atmosphere is something I look forward to.”

We need to talk about consent While we are in the #MeToo Movement, we need to talk about sex and consent.

How do we avoid sexual violence? By creating a culture where the expectation is that individuals will discuss their wants and respect their partners’ wishes.

For starters, before engaging in sexual activity, you should have an understanding about anatomy and birth control options.

For anatomy, most people know the male genitalia fairly well. However, a lot of people (including women), don’t know what’s going on

“down there” for the female genitalia.

Consensual adults should understand not only their body (either through education or exploration), but also their partners.

The next topic that is very important for sexual activity is the knowledge of protection options. You should be looking for ways to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections (STI) and pregnancy. I recommend double-tapping for birth control.

Use birth control pills for pregnancy and condoms for STIs. Or any other combination. Not only do you need protection for sex, but you need to have a conversation about what to use. You cannot assume that your partner is using condoms or is on the pill.

VOLUME 114, ISSUE 38

COURTESY PHOTO

Opinion columnist Brenna Wolfe discusses the benefits of having conversations about sex and consent with one’s partner in order to prevent future “#MeToo” moments.

To open dialogue, try asking questions like: • Are you on the pill?

• What type of birth control are you using?

• I am going to use a condom, is that cool with you?

Once you have established the basic knowledge about sex and had a discussion about protection, you need consent.

Some people get all huffy with the word “consent,” say-

ing things like “Consent isn’t sexy! It ruins the mood. What if I just know? Their body language says it’s good!”

While I agree that body language is important in understanding your partner’s desires, a verbal confirmation is necessary in order to engage.

It’s not that hard to ask for consent! Here are some ways to ask: • Do you want to make out?

• How far do you want to go?

• Can I go down on you?

• Do you like this?

• Can you put protection on first?

• Do you want to ___?

• Can we try something new?

• Are you okay?

A lot of us do these checkins and don’t realize that this is consent discussion.

tural benefits is presented as obvious to everyone.

The fact is that biblical authors and Christians throughout history have held widely divergent opinions on what any “inherent worth” or “equality” meant.

Historically, the Bible has been used to support slavery as well as abolition. Some biblical authors supported genocide and the destruction of other religions, while others supported inclusivity and peace. The Bible has been used to support gender and race discrimination, as well as gender and race equality.

The Amana Colonies in Iowa once used the Bible to support a communistic lifestyle, while many modern Christians believe the Bible has always supported some form of capitalism.

Likewise, believers in other religions may not see the Bible in the same way.

Many Native Americans attribute the destruction of their cultures to people who based their policies on the Bible. Many non-Christians may dispute that anything that might be called biblical “civilization” was beneficial to them.

Without additional training and any regular and strict peer evaluation of high school or elementary school teachers by academic biblical scholars, the implementation of any standards will be largely unenforceable.

Teachers may be encouraged or unrestrained in offering theological and subjective opinions such as those displayed by the state senator who supports this bill.

In the past, we have wit-

nessed the controversies ignited by certain politicians insisting that non-scientific origins of the universe be taught alongside evolution in our science classrooms.

Can you imagine what will happen in our public classrooms when parents across Iowa —every Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Church of Christ, Greek Orthodox, Armenian Orthodox, Evangelical Free, Seventh-Day Adventist, Mormon and Unitarian, not to mention Reform Jewish, Sunni Muslim, Theravada Buddhist, Secular Humanist and atheist —want their say on how the Bible ought to be taught in our classroom?

Furthermore, this bill does not even define what Bible will be taught in the public classrooms. Will this bill teach the Catholic Bible, with its books like 1 Maccabees and Sirach?

Or, will it teach the Protestant Christian Bible that does not teach these books to be part of the Christian canon? The mere question of which Christian Bible will be taught in public classrooms necessarily requires sectarian theological judgments be made before

we even read a single word.

This is why our Nation’s Founders, despite many of them being Christians, decided not to adopt Christianity as the state religion, nor require the Christian Bible be learned by schoolchildren as required reading, and instead left this responsibility to parents at home.

Given the pluralistic religious society in which we live, we ask legislators to leave the teaching of courses on Jewish and Christian scriptures to trained professionals, who understand the enormous complexity that lies behind the origin and subsequent use of what are called “scriptures.”

How to stop smartphone addiction As a generation of young people, we are addicted to our smartphones.

We’re all guilty of it. It’s practically ingrained in our brains to check our phones every five minutes, just in case something monumental, such as Kylie’s new baby or some new executive order from Trump, were to pop up again.

Detaching yourself from your smartphone for a slice of your day is worth the decrease in stress and the memories you will make without your screen, in real life.

Panther Portrait: KIRBY DAVIS Staff Writer

On Friday, Feb. 16, the UNI Black Student Union (BSU) hosted their annual skate party. The skating took place in the basketball courts at the Wellness Recreation Center (WRC), and students were able to rent skates at the door.

This year, the theme was the 1970’s, and attendees came dressed in their best KIRBY DAVIS/Northern Iowan

pastels and bell bottoms.

Not only were students dressed to impress, but they also displayed their best moves to popular 70’s songs, such as Parliament’s “Flash Light,” Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” and “Please Mr. Postman” by The Marvelettes.

NeiAira Burt, a sophomore psychology major and member of BSU, was one of the many students in attendance on Friday.

“The music was on point!”

B u r t s a i d .

“It was 70’s, and then it was like going ahead in time, the 70’s music, 80’s, 90’s and then 2000’s

on. It was good — a good selection of music.”

Students were displaying their skating moves, as well as their dancing moves throughout the night. Some of the dancing included classics like the wave, the twist, the booty-shake and the modern twerk. Nearly all attendees could be seen dancing, whether they had skates on or not.

There was a dance-skating contest in which participants had the chance to show off their best moves. After each skater performed, the crowd got to choose their favorite, who received a prize.

The music was not the only 70’s-inspired thing at the skate party, as numerous students had dressed up in 70’s fashion. They were wearing their best stripes, tie-dye, bell bottoms and bold print.

“I think some of the costumes were pretty cool.

Since it was the 70’s theme, you can’t really know who’s going to dress up or whatnot,” Gardner said.

Trevor Caltrider, a sophomore double major in psy-

chology and sociology, agreed that the fashion was just as integral to the event as the 70’s-inspired music.

“The costumes are always great; you always have some funny ones,” Caltrider said. “I thought the winner dressed amazing!”

UNI History professors celebrate 31 years of marriage ANNA FLANDERS Staff Writer

Several continents, multiple degrees, immigration issues and family differences stood the test of 31 years of marriage for two UNI professors, Konrad Sadkowaski and Alicja BorutaSadkowaski. Both work within the UNI History Department where, among other courses, Konrad teaches Humanities II and III and Alicja teaches Russia/the Soviet Union.

Both Konrad and Alicja are originally from Poland, although Konrad moved to the United States at the age of five. He later attended Brown University.

On Jan. 4, 1984, Konrad was back in Poland, studying abroad and visiting a friend.

Konrad accompanied his friend to the University of Warsaw where Konrad friend’s girlfriend attended school. At her dorm, Konrad met Alicja, who happened to be the girlfriend’s housemate.

“When I opened that door, I thought, ‘With this guy, I could spend the rest of my life,’” Alicja recalled. “There was something in him — besides his curly hair — something nice, something good.” “[Alicja’s] got this incredible twinkle in her eye,” Konrad added. “And her smile, of course, is infectious. These

things are very captivating and magical. I think a lot of people see that.”

Konrad and Alicja’s first dates in 1984 were simple ones in Alicja’s dorm. Konrad remained in Poland until June when he left to travel throughout Europe. He returned to Poland in August to visit Alicja.

Then he left again for nearly a year.

“It was heartbreaking when he was leaving,” Alicja said. “I thought the world collapsed.

My life was over. “ During those months, Konrad and Alicja stayed in contact through letters. “[Because of] the international connections between Poland [and] the United States, you couldn’t just pick up a phone and call. You had to reserve a phone call,” Konrad said. “That international operator would create that phone call, which would take up to half a day sometimes.”

In July 1985, Konrad invited Alicja to the United States. At the time, Alicja only knew two words of English: yes and no.

“But the U.S. government in the mid-80s was rejecting maybe, from what I heard, about 97 out of 100 visa applications for Poles to come to the United States. So, it was very difficult to get a visa,” Konrad explained. “So, what I decided to do was apply for what was

called a K-1 visa, which was a fiancée visa. That’s how Alicja was allowed to come here.”

With this visa, if Konrad and Alicja didn’t marry while Alicja was in the U.S., Alicja would have to return to Poland.

The two married on Feb. 5, 1987.

The distance early on was not the only obstacle in their relationship — another was religion. While Konrad comes from a Catholic background, Alicja is part of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

The difference of religion was never an issue for the two of them or for Alicja’s family.

But it was more complicated for Konrad’s parents, who were very traditional.

Poland is a predominately Catholic country. Although Konrad’s family no longer lived in Poland, they still hoped their son would marry an ethnic Polish and Catholic woman.

“When my parents discovered that Alicja was Orthodox and Belarusian ethnically, which meant Russian to them — those were all red flags,” Konrad said. “Initially when I told [my father] we were going to get married, he said, ‘I don’t want the wedding here,’ which was in Western Massachusetts.

And I said, ‘Okay, fine — we’ll just get married in Ann Arbor, [Michigan]. And shortly before the wedding, he relent-

ed and said, ‘Well, why don’t we actually go ahead and have it here?’ And I said, ‘Well, it’s too late now. All the plans have been put into place.’ And so, we married in Ann Arbor in just a civil service, but my parents decided not to come.”

One major turning point for Konrad’s parents was the baptism of Konrad and Alicja’s first son, Ben. Alicja didn’t see any problem with baptizing their son in a Catholic church as opposed to an Orthodox one. “[Ben] being the first grandchild for my parents was a big deal,” Konrad said.

“Maybe it was a bit of a makeup for them not coming to the wedding, and so my father threw this big elaborate party

with a live band — kind of like a traditional Polish wedding.”

In Alicja’s opinion, having young children was one of the most difficult times in their marriage.

“Once you have children — and we had both our boys in graduate school — it’s hard.

That can complicate things,” Alicja said. “If your baby is colicky and screams 24/7 for three months, it’s not a nice picnic.”

“Marriages just require practice, as any couple that’s been married can tell you,” Konrad said. “To have a successful marriage takes a lot of patience and flexibility and willingness to work things out instead of closing up and sticking to your guns.”

THEATER REVIEW

‘Rent’ 20th anniversary dazzles SHELBY WELSCH

Theater & Event Critc

Popular Broadway rock musical, “Rent,” has raised many eyebrows over the years since its official opening in 1996. It tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists who strip, perform and sing in hopes of turning around their lives in New York City during the thriving days of the Bohemian Alphabet City and the AIDS epidemic.

With strong themes such as AIDS, sex, drugs and death, this musical has been one that has shocked many crowds for the last 21 years.

However, there is also a reason why the show has remained the 11th longest running Broadway musical and is still a staple among college campuses and traveling theater groups. The content in the musical is raw and real, and many can appreciate its authenticity.

The music is mind-blowing and not only displays a unique rock n’ roll kind of feeling to the musical, but will leave your foot tapping long after you leave the theater.

The Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (GBPAC) hosted two fabulous performances of “Rent” on Monday, Feb. 12, and

Melanie Majeed was the winner of the costume contest.

She was dressed in a pastel blue and flower print tie-dye shirt and olive-green bell bottoms.

In addition to the eye-catching costumes and groovy tunes, some folks were most excited to get their skate on.

Gardner said that she was excited to relearn how to skate while at Friday’s event.

“I haven’t skated in a very long time, so being able to do that again brought back good memories,” Gardner said.

Burt also enjoyed the opportunity to skate and dance with fellow students, exclaiming, “Tonight went well. I had

Tuesday, Feb. 13, performed

by Work Lights Productions, who are currently touring all around the country in celebration of the musical’s 20th anniversary.

I was absolutely blown away by this production.

Every single performer was an expert in their craft, and not only sang beautifully, but were thrilling performers.

Looking around the Great Hall, audience members laughed gleefully at many scenes, including the hilarious “Tango: Maureen” scene performed by Sammy Ferber as Mark and Joanne as Jasmine Easler, where the two made fun of their shared ex-girlfriend, Maureen, by making up a dance that described her controlling and overbearing demeanor.

When Angel, played by Aaron Alcaraz, passed away from AIDS complications, the laughing ceased, and in their place tears rolled out of my eyes. Angel’s boyfriend, Collins, played by Josh Walker, sang a heartbreaking solo called “I’ll Cover You” that was so raw and touching, that I had to make a conscious effort to not sob too loudly at its beauty. It was that good.

And I wasn’t the only one who felt touched by the performance either. I could hear a chorus of sniffles coming from numerous audience

members during that particular performance.

If there is a single song that has gone down in history due to this musical’s popularity, it is “Seasons of Love.” A group called “The Company” came out before the second act and sang the best version of this song that I have ever heard. It truly had it all — seamless runs, gorgeous harmonies — I can’t say enough about how awesome this song was executed.

The bar was set so high from such top caliber singing from almost everybody in this production, that one particular performer seemed to fall a little flat. Mimi Marquez, played by Skyler Volpe, was Roger’s love interest in the musical and had many solos and opportunities to shine throughout. I thought her first appearance in the play was amazing, and I had high hopes that she would continue to wow me. However, that was just not the case.

With inconsistent pitch and hard-to-understand enunciation, I could not place her on the same pedestal that I had placed every other performer in this musical. Perhaps it was an off performance or she caught the flu bug that has been going around, but she unfortunately stood out to me in comparison to the other near-perfect performers

that she performed alongside with.

Lastly, the set design is well w o r t h mentioning.

It screamed ‘90s grunge with d i r t y industrial-like walls and lack of furniture, and fit the picture perfectly of what I would expect a COURTESY PHOTO “Rent” set The Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (GBPAC) to look hosted “Rent,” performed by Work Light Productions, on like.

Caltrider said he always looks forward BSU’s annual skate party and that this year was no different.

“I thought it was amazing,” Caltrider said. “I went to it last year as well and it’s always a great time!”

Friday’s skate party was the latest of several events that BSU has hosted throughout February for Black History Month.

Gardner encouraged students to attend the rest of the months’ events, saying, “They will all be good; come out and have fun!”

Burt stressed that BSU’s events are for all students and

that everyone is welcome to attend.

“They’re not just for black student union; they’re for everybody,” Burt said.

“Everybody should come out

[and] support. If they want to learn about black history, they should come out and have a good time. The events are for everyone.”

The next BSU event will

be a group outing to the latest Marvel Studios film “Black Panther.” The screening is taking place this Tuesday, Feb. 20, at Marcus College Square Cinema at 7 p.m.

Exploring religious diversity on campus SOFIA LEGASPI Staff Writer

In a time when race, gender and sexuality are contentious topics, the issue of religious and spiritual diversity is often pushed to the side.

Ariel Ennis, creator of the award-winning Faith Zone multi-faith training workshops at New York University (NYU), works to change that.

“People tend to ignore religion when thinking about diversity and inclusion,” said Ennis, who is the assistant director at the Of Many Institute for Multi-Faith Leadership in NYU’s Office of Global Spiritual Life.

On Wednesday, Feb. 14, several faculty members and students gathered at the Rod Library to hear Ennis speak about the Faith Zone workshop as discussed in his book, “Teaching Religious Literacy: A Guide to Religious and Spiritual Diversity in Higher Education.”

“The conversation about religious and spiritual diversity shares many similarities to conversations about racial and ethnic diversity or LGBTQ diversity,” Ennis said. “But it’s not exactly the same: there’s a specific set of terminology, there’s a specific set of skills, there’s a specific set of issues that are relevant to that field.”

Inspired by the Safe Zone project for the LGBTQ community, the Faith Zone workshop trains students in religious literacy.

“It’s a frame for: How do we think about religious and

“He really humanizes a lot of big controversial facts and puts a lot of spins and different quotes on it,” said Natalia Carr, freshman art education major. “He’s very good at solving problems in a very

spiritual diversity within our community? How do we talk about that diversity? What tools can we use to better prepare our institution to be approachable to work with those questions?” Ennis said.

Ennis’ visit to UNI was coordinated by Threehouse: A Wesley Foundation. In conjunction with his lecture on Wednesday, Ennis held an actual Faith Zone workshop later that day.

In addition, on Tuesday, Threehouse hosted a showing of the documentary “Of Many,” highlighting the tension on college campuses between Jews and Muslims in the midst of conflict in the Middle East.

“It feels to me that in our religious experiences, we’re in danger of just staying with people who are like us,” said Pastor David GlennBurns, campus minister at Threehouse. “We divide into maybe our different ways of being Christian, or we think that everybody should be like us, and I reject that. I think that it’s a more faithful way of being in the world to be welcoming and able to meet and learn from people who are different than we are.”

The Faith Zone workshops are designed to increase participants’ religious literacy as defined by Diane Moore, founder of the Religious Literacy Project at Harvard Divinity School.

According to Moore, “Religious literacy is an understanding of the historic and contemporary inter-

connections of religion with cultural, political and social life and the ability to use this knowledge to promote allyship and engage in dialogue on issues of religious or spiritual concern.”

Those who undergo multi-faith training are given a pre- and post-workshop test on the four pillars to religious literacy: (1) knowledge, (2) ecumenical orientation (i.e., reaching out to other religious traditions), (3) self-awareness and reflection and (4) application.

In his lecture, Ennis discussed why the training was necessary in the first place.

One factor was the increasing globalization of higher education, with foreign students attending American

kind way.”

The event was hosted in the GallagherBluedorn Performing Arts Center by UNI’s Office of Undergraduate Studies and Cornerstone program.

Despite the heavy topics addressed in Marron’s videos and distressing comments left

by some of his viewers, his presentation was lighthearted and the audience laughed whenever Marron made humorous comment.

“I’m not saying put the protest sign down. I’m not saying common ground is the only way,” Marron said. “But it does feel like a start.”

Ariel Ennis, the creator of Fath Zone multi-faith training, visited UNI to discuss religion and diversity.

schools and American students studying abroad.

“There’s far more educational exchange happening between American universities and the rest of the world,” Ennis explained.

“What that means is that our conversations about diversity and inclusion, if they weren’t complicated enough already, are also becoming more complicated because they’re becoming more global.”

Ennis also noted that while many schools have LGBTQ centers and multicultural centers, few have centers focusing on religious diversity due to the misconception that students would

not be interested.

“Researchers at UCLA [found that] overwhelmingly, college students display incredibly high levels of interest,” Ennis said.

Citing rallies and demonstrations that have occurred on college campuses, Ennis also discussed students’ passion for social change.

“Questions about diversity and inclusion are some of the most important questions to our students right now,” he said. “Sort of speaking anecdotally from what I’ve seen, it’s only increased since the election of President Trump.

I think that has polarized these issues a little bit more.”

After coming off a home win against Evansville, UNI had some momentum as they looked to sweep Illinois State on the season.

In the first half, both offenses shot close to 50 percent from the field. Klint Carlson led the way in the first half of play for the Panthers, scoring 12 points and seven rebounds. For the Redbirds, Milik Yarbrough scored seven points and four rebounds.

The Panthers outscored the Redbirds 37-26 in the first half in Normal.

The Panthers would stay close to 50 percent shooting in the second half, but

Illinois State could not be stopped.

After only shooting 30 percent from the three point range in the first, the Redbirds bounced back in the second half, and were shooting a high 78 percent from three point range.

While going 11 out of 14 from downtown, this shooting performance would leave them with 53 points in the second half, blowing past UNI at the end of regulation with a final score of 76-72.

Three Panthers would end the game with double digit scoring. Carlson finished with 20 points and nine rebounds.

Freshman Tywon Pickford would score 14 point and grab eight rebounds. Spencer Haldeman would end with 16 points of his own.

Halfway through the PyeongChang Winter Games DYLAN PADY

Sports Editor

Six days of competition remain in the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games, and athletes from all nations look to increase their country’s medal count as the games come to a close.

As of press time, the gold, silver and bronze count are as follows: Norway leads the competition with 26 total medals, (nine gold, nine silver and eight bronze)

Germany commands second place with 18 medals (nine gold, five silver and four bronze) and the Netherlands are in third with 13 medals (six gold, five silver and two bronze).

Canada places fourth with 16 medals and the United States is in fifth with 10 total medals. It is worth mentioning that half of the United States’ medals are gold. The Americans also have three silver and two bronze.

Of the five golds for Team

USA, Redmond Gerard, Jamie Anderson, Chloe Kim and Shaun White all won snowboarding for both men’s and women’s halfpipe and slopestyle. Arielle Gold didn’t earn a gold but she did earn a bronze medal for snowboarding in the women’s halfpipe.

The remaining first place finish went to Mikaela Shiffrin for alpine skiing in the women’s giant slalom event. Her two runs down the mountain put her in first place with a combined time

of 2:20.02.

Ragnhild Mowinckel’s second place effort was extremely close but fell short with a time of 2:20.41 and would have resulted in another gold medal for the already dominating Norwegian squad.

In the next couple days, sports such as curling, figure skating, ice hockey, bobsleighing and snowboarding will really begin to heat up as the winter games enter their final week.

Despite the efforts

to remove Russia from the Winter Games after being accused of running a state-sponsored doping program, a Russian medalist was allowed to compete under a neutral flag.

However, this athlete is now being accused of doping.

Alexander Krushelnitsky, bronze curling medalist, is accused of using meldonium to increase blood flow and improve exercising ability.

If confirmed, Krushelnitsky will have his bronze curling medal revoked.
