University Avenue to undergo construction CASSIDY NOBLE Staff Writer

Many individuals in Cedar Falls would agree University Avenue has seen better days.

The six lane ‘corridor’ from Highway 58 to Midway Drive is in a state of disrepair, and the city of Cedar Falls has recently acquired jurisdiction from the Department of Transportation to reconstruct the road.

According to the U n i ve r s i t y Ave n u e Reconstruction website, the damage is too severe to simply repair the existing road with material below the roadway.

The repairs will commence in 2016, when the road will be completely destroyed and rebuilt safely.

Branstad visits UNI campus

Campaigns for upcoming midterm election AMBER ROUSE reducing student debt by 10

Executive Editor

Iowa Governor Terry Branstad visited the University of Northern Iowa Thursday Sept. 11. as part of Branstad’s campaign for the upcoming midterm elections, Gov. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds advocated for Branstad’s re-election.

Branstad’s platform included policies that would make college costs more affordable and keep student debt down.

“Education has always been a top priority for me and it certainly is a focus we’ve had in this administration,” Branstad said.

Branstad referenced previous work while in office which included freezing tuition two years in a row.

Branstad applauded UNI President William Ruud for

percent since Ruud became president.

“The more we can do to keep down the cost of education, the more we can do to help you to manage that better,” Branstad said.

Since being re-elected into office, Branstad helped turn a $90 million deficit into a surplus, said Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.

“He sets very, very ambitious goals,” Reynolds said.

“We’re committed to making education more affordable, bringing down student debt and getting you more choice in your education.”

Enrollment stats show overall decrease in students CASSIDY NOBLE Staff Writer

ERIN KEISER/Art Director

A recent report issued

by University Relations announced that UNI has a fall 2014 attendance of 11,928 students; attendance is 1.9% down from the 12,159 students that attended last fall.

That number is taken from the number of students that were enrolled through the end of the 10th day of classes.

While the overall number decreased, there were several increases in percentages. The enrollment of new students directly out of high school increased by 4%.

“A top priority at UNI is recruiting and retaining students,” said UNI President Bill Ruud in the report. “We’ve had some success and we’re on the path to see more success as we implement and improve our enrollment management structure and process.”

With UNI’s decrease in enrollment, Iowa State University saw a 4.5% increase in enrollment, raising their student numbers to a record breaking 34,732. The University of Iowa reported an increase of 322 students, which brought their enrollment to 31,387 students according to the Des Moines

Register.

UNI also accomplished other important increases in enrollment. There was a 22.3% increase in international student enrollment as well as a 20.2% increase in new minority student enrollment.

University Relations also boasted an extraordinary retention percentage in the number of students who returned for a second year, which was 84.7%. That is thirteen percent higher than the national average and also the highest that it has been for 15 years.

“The problem is the concrete underneath is crumbling so even if we went out and melted it all off and put asphalt over the top, it would have a very short life span,” said Ron Gaines, project manager for the city of Cedar Falls.

With their proposed plan that could cost anywhere from $16 to 25 million, the city of Cedar Falls will strive to improve road conditions, enhance safety, increase pedestrian and bicycle mobility and have an improved traffic flow.

The City Council has identified eight project priorities, which range from a safe and accommodating design that moves all forms of traffic as efficiently as possible to the consideration of a multiple phase master landscaping plan.

Another major consider-

Reynolds said she and Branstad are optimistic about Iowa’s future as more young people are choosing to start a career in Iowa.

“I’m super excited about the new education plan,” said Jessica Kautzer, senior in business administration management.

Kautzer sees the value of what Branstad has done while in office.

“He does a really good job of pointing out things we see everyday on the farm, on campuses, in businesses,” Kautzer said.

“Once we know what the final design is,” Gaines said, “we will go into the destruction stage and how we are going to maintain access to all the businesses and all that.”

One possible design scheme is the incorporation of ‘complete streets,’ according to the University Avenue reconstruction website. This type of street includes accommodations for all users including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders of all ages and abilities.

“The one thing that we want to do is move traffic safely and efficiently through the corridor,” Gaines said. “So we are looking at all the intersections and what is the safest way to move traffic through there the safest and most efficient way to cut down the number of conflict points.”

Can faculty keep students safe?

ERIC BOISEN

boisen @uni.edu

As an RA, I have had to go through training teaching me how to deal with many different problematic situations.

I have been trained in CPR, dealing with unruly residents and basic emotional counseling among other things.

The training I have gone through that has stuck out the most was V.I.D.S training which is put on by UNI Public Safety. V.I.D.S. stands for Violent Incident Defense Strategies.

This session trains individuals how to react if an active

shooter were on campus.

I cringe at the thought of an active shooter coming to our campus. No one wants to think someone would come to school with the intent to commit mass murder, but it is a thought that has become increasingly present during our generation.

According to the factchecking website Politifact, since the Sandy Hook tragedy in December 2012, there have been ten other mass shooting sprees like the tragedies at Sandy Hook or Columbine.

Half of these shootings have been on college campuses.

V.I.D.S training provides knowledge of what to do if an active shooter were to be on our campus. It provides the insight on how to lead a class-

I believe professors and faculty members should be required to take this course. room of people in the event of an active shooter incident.

For that reason, I believe professors and faculty members should be required to take this course. Professors are the heads of the classroom as they naturally command the attention of their students.

Because of this, they can use V.I.D.S. training to inform their students about what to

do in the event of a shooter on campus.

Professors are usually the first target because they are at the front of the classroom. Knowing how to defend themselves and their students in these situations is vital in maintaining the safety of the classroom.

Of the 435 staff and faculty who have taken V.I.D.S. training, an overwhelming majority have been staff members, according to Lt. Joe Tyler, who helps to run the program.

In a school with over 700 faculty members less than one-fourth have taken the training. This fact highlights a lack of knowledge that should be seriously looked at by faculty leadership.

In circumstances that involve student safety, it is better to be proactive than reactive. As an NISG Senator last year, I worked with the NISG Senate on passing a resolution which said faculty and staff leadership should look into requiring V.I.D.S. training be taken by all faculty and staff members.

I believe that the students’ voice in this issue is an important one.

While I don’t always believe in the adage “it is better to be safe than sorry,” in this circumstance knowing how great this program is I would encourage everyone and especially faculty members to take this course.

You never know when it might come in handy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The reason why Republicans fail on campuses Call me a modern day fallibilist, but who out there is kidding themselves to ascertain the position that a modern day college student actually believes in traditional conservative principles?

Maybe there is truth behind the phrase “If you aren’t a democrat by 20 you have no heart, if you aren’t a republican by 40 you have no brain,” but perhaps there is an alternative conclusion.

I support Republicans in general. As a capitalist, I see the connection between power and money. Though socially, my beliefs don’t necessarily line up with the party, in general I support the concept of being monetarily “rewarded” by keeping a bigger share of the taxes I pay regardless of how much I may make.

I support the value of hard work. As a realist, I believe there is a disconnect in our definition of the phrase “every man was created equally” and its legal interpretation. Though we may have been created equal, it is certain we do not maintain that state of being.

I support the position of limited government and constitutional power to the states as it was originally stated in the constitution. I believe that the United States was founded on the cornerstone of diversity and ethnic cultural accumulation and transformation.

I approach this argument from the perspective of a critical student, an ignorant student and a liberal student.

Evidence: 1. The Party Ask any student what they think “The Party” stands for

and you’ll get a variety of answers ranging from accurate to extensively and profoundly insane. I’ve heard them all. o “The Republicans stand for crazy conservative principles… I’m like 21 bruh. “

with a party has the tendency to turn away those who feel like they are on the outside of an exclusive club. College students will avoid the association with such perceived intolerances.

3. Freedom

Yet with great freedom comes great responsibility. Ask any republican about freedom, liberty and America and most likely their response will be favorable. o Republicans stand for intolerance of non-straight, non-nuclear, non-traditional families o Conservatives are racist o The platform pushes the fundamentals of religion, unchanging constitution, and “sticking to guns and the bible” o They fight for the notion of freedom… Unless it has to do with having an abortion o All the republicans I know are close minded, old, white guys If those are some of the public perceptions of Republicans, then students will actively disassociate with a position that represents the above.

2. The notion of oneplatform religion As a member of the College Republicans, I’ve been given the opportunity to attend a plethora of fundraising dinners for a variety of candidates. Inevitably, these all begin with a shout-out to the man upstairs.

Pairing a single religion

As long as it fits the guidelines. Yet with great freedom, comes great responsibility. Ask any republican about freedom, liberty and America and most likely their response will be favorable.

College, naturally, is not known to be the most conservative time in a persons’ life. We are being taught the value of personal responsibility, economics, higher order thinking and socially sustainability through our education.

I can think of no person who actively wants to strip homosexuals of their rights as human beings. Republicans can jump on the train with the rest of the 20th century and realize we all have people in our lives who don’t fit the historical standard definition of marriage. A marriage between a man and a woman is an institution of religion, not of state.

As an individual, if you choose to fit the heterosexual norm that is your decision. If you chose to believe being gay sends people to hell, well then good for you and

your religion. It is your right as an American to believe that. Nobody is asking for you to change your mind.

As a college student in this generation, we all know someone who is gay.

In the age of the importance of social networking, telling any college student that their friend, family member, favorite teacher, or a neighbor down the street being denied the legal right to marry by the voting of a party which stands for freedom seems to contradict itself.

It is fair to assume that college students in particular who are more likely to be impulsive and driven by their emotions (due to the underdevelopment of critical thinking skills and their pre-frontal cortex) are likely to turn away from a party who stands for the denial of these rights to our families and friends.

4. Fiscal issues anyone?

The idea of less government aligns with the business trend of increasing efficiency. In most simplified models, economists argue that a society will produce two types of inputs, labor and technology; and without advances in either, the society has a finite output possible by both in the short term.

If you increase cost of one, the society seeks to compensate with the other to maintain the same level of output. So deductively, one could reason that an increased cost of labor or technology would increase the use of the latter to maintain the same standard of living.

So to those out there who don’t understand how

an increased minimum wage might affect the economy, there are two possible (simple) alternatives. 1. The level of output remains the same but the costs increase. 2. The level of output remains the same but there is a transition from labor to technology.

The Republican Party fails to promote how fiscal responsibility benefits the masses. The models they use employ higher order thinking that cannot be understood by many people. Simplifying the concept and explaining why fiscal responsibility benefits everyone is the only way republicans can connect to those who are otherwise motivated by emotional incentives.

5. So why do we bother?

Put yourself in the mind of a college student. We are motivated by simple answers, immediate results and social perception of our associations.

To the Republican Party: let it go. Stop fighting the social issues for the sake of the conservative status quo.

Promote personal freedom AND responsibility. Seek to educate those who don’t seek to educate themselves on the issues. Though we are responsive to the social issues, we aren’t ignorant to all the issues.

Continuing to go forward with pressuring youths to take on the entire conservative outlook will only continue to polarize them in the opposite direction and continue to breed ignorance.

-Jessica Kautzer, senior business administration management major.

UNI students meet in Maucker Union’s ballroom to learn more about the different organizations and what students can do for the community. This gives students an opportunity on how to get involved on campus and in the community.

Volunteer fair draws in students KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

43 organizations filled Maucker Union’s ballroom during the volunteer fair Wednesday.

“The students are able to come in and talk with agencies and organizations around the Cedar Valley, so it’s really an opportunity for them to come see what those organizations have to offer volunteer opportunities as well as internships,” Katelyn Blake, junior leisure, youth and human services major and non-profit leadership alliance member said.

Blake helped with the organization of the fair, which helps students get connected with organizations that are located in the Cedar Valley. With her knowledge of non-profits

and youth agencies, Blake knows the importance of volunteers.

“Volunteering is very important because without it a lot of non-profits wouldn’t survive…it’s also good for the organizations so they can get that work done that maybe they couldn’t get done otherwise,” Blake said. “But also it’s good for the person just to grow. It may not be an internship but it might have internship kind of qualities that you can relate to your job or life in general.”

“It’s just refreshing for myself. It’s an easy way to give back. Time is pretty easy to give,” said Kevin Hodgers, senior business administration major.

Every Friday, Hodgers helps out with UNI Best Buddies, a student group that is offered by the

College of Education.

Kelsey Miller, senior public relations major, was recruiting volunteers at the Allen Hospital booth.

“When the volunteers are there the doctors and staff can go do things, take a break, you know. So they can help in the waiting room or they can help at the front desk,” Miller said about her particular organization.

Tammy Tur ner, who works for the education team of the Black Hawk County Solid Waste Management Commission, volunteer work is slightly different. With her organization holding two events in the Black Hawk County area to recycle electronics, she was in search of volunteers.

Tastes of salsa on UNI campus MAKAELA SCHULZ Staff Writer

The Recycling Reuse Technology Transfer Center (RRTTC) hosted their first Creekside Harmony Garden Salsa Festival behind the Center for Energy and Environmental Education (CEEE) Thursday.

The festival featured a variety of salsas for people to swing by and try. They had hot, medium and mild salsas. One of their especially unique salsas was the fruit

salsa. The fruit salsa gave a sweeter twist on the traditionally spicy salsa.

“We just want to share with people how simple it is to grow your own food,” said Jenny Bruss, director of outreach and programming for RRTTC. The different types of salsas were grown in the garden that is located where the festival was held, behind the CEEE. RRTTC grew ten varieties of tomatoes, eight varieties of peppers and other foods

such as watermelons.

Ethnic-specific foods, such as bitter melon, were available for students looking to try foods that aren’t normally found in an American diet.

The event was quite successful as Bruss explains the importance of the festival.

“It’s a good opportunity to find the garden because we are kind of hidden behind the buildings and learn a little bit about what we do here and enjoy some of our fresh produce that we’ve been growing all year,” Bruss said.

UNI wins Shamrock Invitational RILEY UBBEN

The Panthers only dropped one set over the weekend as they won the Shamrock Invitational in South Bend, IN. UNI swept both Northeastern and TCU, winning eight straight sets before eventually beating Notre Dame in four sets.

Eryca Hingtgen tied the team-high with 11 kills in the Panther sweep against Northeastern. After posting a season-low attacking percentage in their season opener against Northern Illinois, UNI tallied an attacking percentage of .250 in the tournament opener.

The Panthers started Saturday off with another sweep as they defeated TCU. Kayla Haneline finished with a team-high 12 kills while committing one attacking error.

UNI won six straight sets heading into the final match of the weekend against the host Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Down 14-12 in the first, the Panthers score four straight points and gained momentum while pulling away and taking

the set.

UNI found themselves in a similar situation in the second set as they fell behind early in the second set. Tied 10-10, the Panthers scored the next six out of seven points and held the lead the rest of the set.

The Panthers dropped the third set against the Fighting Irish before bouncing back in the fourth and final set. After allowing Notre Dame to score the first points of the set, UNI never trailed the rest of the way, taking the set 25-17 and the match 3-1.

Lindsey Schulz posted a career-high 17 kills against Notre Dame while committing zero errors. Schulz went on to be named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

Hingtgen and Haneline were named to the all-tournament team along with Schultz.

Kinsey Caldwell tallied 46 assists in the final match.

Caldwell finished the invitational with 127 assists.

The weekend success brought the Panthers’ record to 5-5 as they return home on Friday for their Missouri Valley Conference opener against Loyola at 7 p.m.

Panthers’ fourth quarter comeback falls short BRENNAN WHISLER

Sawyer Kollmorgen (above) passed for 265 yards while scoring three total touchdowns against Hawaii. Kollmorgen completed 19 of 40 passes in the loss.

The UNI Panthers’ long journey to Hawaii began Wednesday when the team left for Honolulu and ended early Sunday morning local time. What ended around 2:30 a.m. central time also ended with a 27-24 loss for the Panthers. What started off as a close first-half ended with Hawaii deftly handling the Panthers in the second half.

The first quarter indicated a close defensive game with a tie 7-7 and the only score for Hawaii coming off a fumble returned for a touchdown. Sawyer Kollmorgen answered back late with a one-yard run.

Kollmorgen finished the night with 265 yards passing and three total touchdowns.

The second quarter nearly saw the Panthers shut out as Hawaii scored 10 points, upping the score 17-7.

Adam Reth recorded his first career sack on a fourth down and allowed the Panther offense to take over near mid-field with 27 seconds left.

Michael Schmadeke made

a career-long 41-yard field goal as time expired. The first half came to an end with the Panthers down by a touchdown, 17-10.

The only points scored in the third quarter came by way of a Steve Lakalaka 30-yard touchdown run with 30 seconds left. UNI trailed 24-10 heading into the fourth quarter.

In the final minutes, UNI trailed 27-17. A Darrian Miller 11-yard reception for a touchdown brought UNI within a touchdown with 1:56 remaining.

The Panthers could not recover the ensuing onside kick. Hawaii continued to run the ball with a minute left and a three-point lead.

Brett McMakin forced a Lakalaka fumble with under a minute left in the contest.

Hawaii offensive lineman Harold Moleni recovered the ball and allowed the Rainbow Warriors to run the clock down to zero.

The Panthers will look for their first win of the season as they face Northern Colorado on Saturday for their home opener. The homecoming game will kickoff at 4 p.m.
