Regents solicit efficiency report CASSIDY NOBLE Staff Writer

The largest efficiency report ever performed at the three Iowa regent universities is under way and is scheduled to be complete by the end of the

year.

The Iowa Board of Regents is conducting a $2.5 million spending review with Deloitte Consulting in an effort to find inefficiencies and areas of overspending. The board hopes to recoup 10-15 times the cost

of the review, totaling $15-$25 million in savings.

The operating budget for the three state universities is $1.5 billion, and the potential savings totals 1-1.5 percent.

“One percent more effi-

cient is probably a good thing,” said Joe Gorton, president of United Faculty, the faculty union at UNI. The last review, conducted in 1989, cost $1.2 million and had no effect on the universities after it was fin-

ished. The current review will be broader in scope.

However, Gorton is concerned they may be looking in the wrong places for inefficiencies.

Recently, the University of Northern Iowa brought the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning program to campus, which focuses on new teaching techniques and improving the way stu-

dents learn in the classroom.

“The CETL offers faculty and staff opportunities to reflect on classroom practice, to explore new skills and strategies for effective teaching and to enrich the conversation about teaching on campus,” said Susan Hill, CETL director.

The CETL has workshops, forums and even smaller programs that will look at the different methods that have been proven to enhance the way students are educated, according to Craig VanSandt, David W. Wilson chair in business ethics.

Anti-abortion activist Jill Stanek came to campus Wednesday to talk about her experience with abortion as a nurse at Christ Hospital in Chicago. Hosted

by UNI Right to Life, the event brought students and community members to Maucker Union.

“I knew she would bring a unique perspective,” said Linnea Casey, president of UNI Right to Life.

Stanek spoke about her experience as a nurse and informed the audience of the different types of abortion, such as late-term abortion.

After coming across a late-term abortion – also known as an induced labor abortion – while working as a nurse, she set her sights on ousting what she saw as villainy.

There were comfort rooms in Christ Hospital that allowed a baby to be born and held until the moment it died, and this did not sit well with Stanek.

She said she does recognize the need for the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which gives infants who are born alive after an attempt-

ed late-term abortion legal protection.

Stanek also spoke about the emotional impact photographs can have on people when discussing controversial issues. And although she never showed graphic pictures of aborted fetuses, her stories and information were enough to make an impression on Russ Vandaele, who came from Hudson to see her speak.

“I was a little upset with the idea of comfort rooms,” Vandaele said. But he did say “her message was good” and “I was glad to keep myself informed.”

experience because there were these abused kids who came from abused families,” Kaefring said. “When they got there we gave each kid a blanket that symbolized that they had come to a safe environment and they could take the blankets with them.”

The STLF organization was founded in 2003 and now has 35 chapters at universities throughout the nation.

The UNI chapter was founded in 2012 by Kaefring and Melissa Herak, senior general studies major.

“I went on a high school tour and I loved it so much that I wanted to bring this to UNI,” Kaefring said. “I contacted the people who sort of run this program and they helped me and another person here start it.”

About 25 UNI students are partnering up with 20 students from Iowa State University for the tour.

“This opportunity is needed for those students who are looking to do something more and affect people along the way by giving back,” said

Herak.

Kaefring said he hopes the tour will inspire students to continue giving back in the future, after the trip is over.

He also said he is looking forward to the connections that will be made on the tour.

“For me, it’s about meeting new people and seeing what they have gone through in their lives,” Kaefring said.

“You learn a lot about the participants because you get really close.”

The tour costs $450, and for more information students can go to YouTube and search University of Northern Iowa Students Today Leaders Forever.

The program will rely on faculty participation as well as outside contributions.

“At the fall faculty workshop, which occurs every fall semester before school starts, we bring in an expert from off campus to share their research and perspectives on effective teaching,” Hill said.

VanSandt said he hopes the center, which can be found in Room 378 of Rod Library, will help students as much as professors.

“The ultimate purpose of UNI and any university is not for teachers to teach, but for students to learn.

Those two ideas actually can be quite different,” VanSandt said.

funds should be reinvested in the university so programs will not get cut, according to Regents President Bruce Rastetter.

Regents Executive Director Robert Donley also said more online classes are a possibility.

“One hope is that the new review will spark growth in online classes, which have been slow to gain traction at research universities nationwide,” Donley said.

Additional sources at the BOR were contacted but had no comment.

Deloitte Consulting is no stranger to helping universities

with efficiency studies. It recently assisted the University of Michigan and Syracuse University. However, despite the company’s experience, Gorton has some reservations about the review’s expected completion date.

“That’s a very narrow time frame,” Gorton said. “I just don’t see how you facilitate acquiring, gathering or collecting a meaningful amount of input from the faculty.”

Despite his misgivings, Gorton said finding inefficiencies at a large organization is a give in, and “that’s a good thing.”

Instead of going to popular destinations like Panama City Beach or South Padre for spring break, some UNI students have decided to spend their time paying it forward.

The Students Today Leaders Forever organization on campus is making its way to six different cities across the U.S. to volunteer for service projects. The trip, which lasts nine days, is known as the Pay It Forward Tour.

“It’s not just a volunteer trip,” said Seth Kaefring, junior criminology major. “It helps our participants see the world in a different way and figure out more about themselves as well.”

He also said it is good for learning leadership skills in a low-pressure environment.

This is the second year the STLF group will participate in the Pay It Forward Tour. Last year, participants worked with abused children.

I’m concerned about you.

Yes, you. By the time you read this, you’ll probably have already spent three hours on Facebook – 93 percent of 18to 29-year-olds do.

When was the last time you volunteered? Tried changing someone’s life? Encouraged growth and helped nurture humanity? More often than not, the common response to these questions is, “I’m too busy.”

Aren’t we all too busy?

Between school, work, friends, sports, parties, family gatherings and pets, it’s difficult to squeeze in extra time. Except for the multitude of hours dedicated to social media. Did you know, on average, when an individual sits down to check Facebook, they spend about 74 minutes per visit?

What your history books didn’t tell you Nehemiah Nelson nelsonaf @uni.edu

In our American history classes, we’ve all been fed misinformation, and we rarely question what we’ve been eating.

Through skewed depictions of U.S. American history in the media and in public education, we’re led to believe in the infallible superiority of the U.S. Although there’s nothing wrong with a bit of pride in one’s country, this way of thinking can end in blind nationalism. And unquestioned Americanism is largely perpetuated through the falsehoods, embellishments and omissions in many American

history curricula.

In his book “Lies My Teacher Told Me,” James Loewen uses primary sources like census data and newspaper articles to debunk American history textbooks.

Loewen reveals that textbooks distort history through the glorification of some of our national heroes.

Many would be startled at the true character of some renowned American figures.

Italian explorer Christopher Columbus snugly fits this role.

We proudly revere Columbus for his voyages to the Americas, but rarely do we hear about how he treated the original inhabitants. Columbus championed the violent eradication, rape, disfigurement and dehumanization of the Native Americans he encountered,

On a grander scale, many periods of history have been diluted. not to mention his introduction of trans-Atlantic slavery to what could hardly be considered a new world.

On the other hand, Loewen asserts certain facts about our historical figures have been omitted because they didn’t mesh with mainstream political thought.

Early in our education, we learn the inspirational story of Helen Keller - a brave young girl who overcame barricades to succeed. What we aren’t told is that she went on to be a prominent figure in American social-

ism.

Within nationalism we observe selectivism, which allows us to pick and choose which parts of history become canon. Oftentimes, for instance, we will overlook people of color and women because of our white, patriarchal social framework.

True American heroes like Frederick Douglass do deserve our adulation. As a child, Douglass taught himself to read while still in slavery. After he became a free man, he worked as an activist, championing many social justice issues.

However, the erasure of certain peoples due to their existence outside of dominant culture leads to a distorted U.S. American history. Many students will not hear about Douglass until college courses, if at all.

On a grander scale, many periods of history have been diluted. The portrayal of Native Americans in U.S. American textbooks perfectly illustrates this perversion. White settlers routinely stole property from, forced religious conversion on and massacred native people. Many proud Americans justify this dehumanization by singularizing diverse and civilized Native American cultures into one “primitive” culture, again supported by popularized representations of “savage Indians.”

An unbiased approach to knowledge of history is essential to understanding ourselves as individuals within society. It’s necessary to critically examine our hegemonic ignorance to avoid repeating it.

A healthy taste of the world ALANNA LEMAY Staff Writer

An array of tantalizing foods greeted the taste buds of the Cedar Falls community in the Center for Multicultural Education March 4.

Members of the International Student Association served foods from their countries for people to try.

“It’s really nice to have this event on since some students haven’t been outside the states,” said Natalie Lourds, sophomore marketing major. “They can experience different countries and their food.”

Ramya Varadaraju, senior computer science major, said she worked with the International

Student Association to put on the event. Varadaraju is also a member of Reaching for Higher Ground, and this year’s theme is Food Matters.

“The purpose of Reaching for Higher Ground projects is to create a stronger campus community, one more accepting towards people with different viewpoints and backgrounds,” said Fariha Afzal, senior interior design major.

Ajay Abraham, senior accounting and criminology double major, said his favorite part of preparing for the event was “working together with everybody and bonding with people from other countries.”

Six-year-old Ariana Morera helped her mother, Hilda

Betancort, and father, Andres Morera, with the Costa Rica table. She was dressed in campesinos, the traditional clothing of Costa Rica.

Andres, Spanish education graduate student, said the event was “to help you to realize there are more countries on campus besides my own.

There is diversity available at UNI.” The main focus of the event was to promote healthier eating. Each recipe contained no more than 10 ingredients and was a healthy, simple food for students to make. Those in charge of the event said they want students to depend less on microwavable and frozen foods.

How to make a tank top for spring break JACINDA RUGGLES

Art Director

Though dreary clouds and puddles are everywhere, spring is just around the corner, and spring break is next

week.

For those students venturing into warmer territories, a tank top or two might be necessary. For those staying home, don’t be afraid to turn up the heat one day, break

out those luau decorations and throw on some shorts.

Whether you’re in your apartment or in the Bahamas for break, here’s a nifty trick to turn your old t-shirts into hotter-weather tank tops.

THINKSTOCK PHOTOS

MATERIALS • Old T-shirt • Scissors

Step 5: Cut an extra inch off the sleeves so they hang a little lower.

Step 6: Lay the shirt flat on its side and cut the bottom off while staying close to the bottom seam.

Step 1. Cut the collar off the tshirt. Be sure to stay close to the seam.

Step 2. Do the same with the sleeves.

Step 3: Cut the front neckline approximately 1 ½ inches lower Step 4: Cut the back neckline into a deep V shape so that the hole will hit a little above the middle of your back.

Step 7: Cut out an 8-by-1 inch piece of T-shirt material from the sleeves you cut off earlier. Take the material and pull on the two ends so it curls up.

Step 8: Tie the 8-by-1 inch T-shirt material and wrap around the back sleeves of the T-shirt at the bottom of the V you cut out earlier. Tie in a double knot.

UNI falls short to Salukis

Panthers may still play in postseason tournament JAKE BEMIS

Sports Editor

CASSIDY NOBLE/Northern Iowan

Matt Bohannon (5) takes a shot at a game Feb. 23. The men’s basketball team fell to SIU in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.

It was a tale of two halves for Northern Iowa, as the Panthers fell to Southern Illinois 63-58 despite a 28-9 run in the second half of Friday’s quarterfinal match of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.

UNI trailed by as many as 19 points in the second half but was able to tie the game with just over 3 minutes left on two Seth Tuttle free throws.

“The kind of guys that we’re dealing with and the guys that we’ve got in our program and the leadership we have from the players in our program ... I’d have been extremely surprised had we not stood in there and fought,” UNI head coach Ben Jacobson said.

Tuttle finished the game

with 15 points, 17 rebounds and four assists.

“I think (SIU) just played really good defense,” Tuttle said of the team’s firsthalf woes. “They pressured the ball harder. I feel like what really hurt us might have been them denying the wings. It hurt us getting into our sets, getting into what we wanted to run.”

SIU’s Desmar Jackson outscored the Panthers in the first half, accounting for 20 of his team’s 36 first-half points. The Saluki’s led UNI 36-18 at halftime after the Panthers shot just 21 percent in the first 20 minutes of play.

Despite his hot start, Jackson scored just 3 points in the second half to finish the game with 23 points.

After not scoring a single point in the first half, UNI guards Matt Bohannon,

Jeremy Morgan and Wes Washpun combined to finish with a total of 22 points.

This is the fourth time in as many seasons the Panthers have not advanced past the quarterfinals of the MVC Tournament.

However, UNI may still play again this season in a postseason tournament. The tournament committees and the program will make that decision as early as Sunday.

“I know we’ve got some conversations to have now about whether we’re going to continue to play this year,” Jacobson said. “The only thing I would say is that playing for a championship in our league and playing in the NCAA Tournament will continue to be at the top of our list. That’s not going to change.”

UNI drops to 3rd heading into MVC Tournament NICK ALVARADO

Sports Writer

After Northern Iowa’s 89-70 victory over Illinois State, the Panthers found themselves in the midst of a six-game winning streak with a chance at first place in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Forward Jen Keitel’s 23point effort led the way for the Panthers against the Redbirds, which was her third consecutive game scoring in double figures.

Guard Madison Weekly chipped in with 16 points and five rebounds. Brittni Donaldson and Stephanie Davison also reached d ­ ouble-digit point totals, scoring 13 and 12 points, respectively.

With the pieces falling into place, all UNI needed to do was take care of business against Indiana State and wait for the final result of the Wichita State and Missouri State game to learn their fate. After an 85-72 loss to Indiana State, scoreboard watching was no longer necessary. In a game where UNI never held the lead, the Panthers suffered a severe shooting slump that resulted in a 20 percent field goal percentage and several missed layups in the first half.

“We were nervous. I could

Keitel led the team in scoring once again, contributing 21 points and adding a team-high seven rebounds. She also dished out a team-high three assists.

Forward Hannah Schonhardt was the next highest scorer for the Panthers, recording 15 points on the afternoon.

Schonhardt played with a high level of intensity on Saturday. She let her emotions spill out on the court with several fist pumps and screams after made baskets.

“I was playing a little mad because we should’ve come out stronger in the first half, so that drove me,” Schonhardt said.

get back in the game, but ISU kept a steady lead and foiled any attempts the Panthers made to cut it down. The 4-21 from behind the arc didn’t help the Panthers’ cause, as the 19 percent from 3-point range that UNI put forth was dwarfed by the 69 percent ISU shot for the afternoon.

The ISU performance was orchestrated by guard Bilqis

Abdul-Qaadir, who led the Sycamores in scoring with 28 points while also recording four assists. Abdul-Qaadir scored 20 of her total points in the first half and was a major factor in the 34-21 UNI deficit at the half.

“She’s phenomenal,” Warren said of the ISU guard. “Not only can she score, but she can get her teammates the basketball in a position where they can

score.”

With the loss, UNI is locked in third place heading into the MVC Tournament.

“We’re confident. We’re going to go in there and make some noise in that tournament.”

Schonhardt said.

The MVC Tournament kicks off Thursday in St. Charles, Mo. UNI will play its first game at 8:35 p.m. Friday.
