from success to heartbreak Sarina Chen has seen it all

RILEY COSGROVE Staff Writer

Whether sporting a rainbow-colored clown wig in front of 200 students in Lang Auditorium or expressing her candid, yet honest thoughts on certain class topics, University of Northern Iowa’s Sarina Chen has become a favored teacher for students within the communication studies department.

Any past or present

communication department student at UNI over the last 20 years knows or has at least heard of Sarina Chen. Throughout her career at UNI Chen, associate professor of communication studies has connected with her students by being a positive influence in their academic careers.

Chen jokes with her students by forbidding them from taking another class with her. Most of

her students disregard this piece of advice.

Outside Chen’s office, tucked away in a corner of Lang Hall, is a bulletin board sporting a cartoon of SpongeBob Squarepants and pictures of Chen with past students.

No matter how many years have passed, she is still enthusiastic about coming to work each day.

Born in Taiwan, Chen immigrated to the United States at the age of 23

in order to continue her education. Chen graduated from a college in Taiwan.

“My older sister had moved to Wisconsin and earned her Ph. D at the University of WisconsinMadison and when I was looking for grad schools in the United States, my sister had told me how much she enjoyed the midwest so I ended up in Iowa.” Chen explained.

MET bus bursts into flames on campus

3rd Annual Hall-APalooza

AMBER ROUSE AND CASSIDY NOBLE

Executive Editor and Staff Writer

Despite the ominous clouds last Thursday afternoon, many students attended the 3rd annual Hall-A-Palooza and weren’t upset that the event had a last minute change in venue.

The event, organized by the Residence Hall Association, featured activities such as miniature golf, large scale Twister, music, inflatables and free ice cream. It was originally meant to be outside in the Quads field, however due to rain in the forecast, Hall-A-Palooza was moved to the West Tower’s Lounge.

At approximately 7 a.m.

Thursday morning August 28, one metropolitan transit bus erupted in flames.

The fire erupted towards the back of the shuttle, near the rear engine compartment.

“We were driving down the street at 27 and Minnesota and it just sort of started a fire in the back,” said Tyler Knight, a student at Hawkeye Community College.

Knight said everyone ran off the bus as the flames continued to envelope the bus.

Mark Little, general manager at Waterloo Metropolitan Transit, speculated the fire started due to an electrical unit fueled by a possible diesel fuel leak, and seven passengers on the bus as well as the driver evacuated the bus safely.

Study abroad under interim direction KYLE MARLIN Staff Writer

The Study Abroad Center has been under new leadership since July.

When previous director Yana Cornish resigned in May, Craig Klafter, the former associate provost for International Programs, approached Assistant Director of the Study Abroad Center Paula Vanzee about filling in as the interim director. She accepted the position and on July 1, was promoted to associate director.

Since being promoted, Vanzee has been working toward several changes within the Study Abroad Center.

Among those is implementing measures to increase the amount of students studying abroad.

“My goal is [...] to get good feedback from our students about what we’re doing, to provide good customer service and good programs for them,” Vanzee said.

She keeps tasks organized by placing sticky notes on her office walls. It helps her see what needs to be done.

Vanzee has implemented what she calls “stand up”

meetings at the beginning of each day. “Stand up” involves everyone in the office talking about what they have accomplished, what they plan to do that day and any obstacles they may have.

Vanzee plans to address other issues within the office.

Transparency has been an issue in the past, Vanzee said, and wants faculty and staff to have a better understanding of how the Study Abroad Center budgets for short-term programs.

This change will help bring the Study Abroad

Center closer to other faculty and staff within the university.

“I want to simplify some processes so that they are clear, I want to put them online and I want to rebuild the relationships we have with our colleges and with our faculty,” Vanzee said.

Even through the transition period, Vanzee has kept the office on a certain track.

“I want to make sure that our office works to always have the student in mind,” Vanzee said.

The Study Abroad Center offers plenty of servic-

Cedar Falls Fire and Rescue responders extinguished the fire by 7:30 a.m.

“We are grateful for the response of the Cedar Falls Fire and Rewwscue,” said Vice President Michael Hager.

Little and Scott Ketelsen, director of university relations, said there was no crime involved.

Names of the passengers were not recorded because no foul play was suspected.

Little said the six-yearold MET bus cost around $276,000.

“At this point it looks like a total loss, but we won’t know for sure until insurance comes to look at it,” Little said.

This particular MET bus ran shuttle between UNI and Hawkeye and was primarily used for the transportation of Hawkeye students.

There are no further developments at this point, Little said.

ERIC BOISEN

This year, the city of Cedar Falls created a task force to deal with problem of single family houses being converted into rental properties. People who believe this to be a problem are mainly those who have families with children in Cedar Falls. They believe renters moving into so-called family neighborhoods cause problems, which includes: an unkempt lawn and house, noise, and street parking.

This can bring down property value of these neighborhoods.

Fred Abraham, UNI economics professor, proposed an idea to the task force to limit the number of unrelated people living in a single-family home from four persons to three. This idea has not gone anywhere in the task force and would have to be voted on by Cedar Falls city council. Landlords have said this would increase costs for those renting in the city, includ-

|

ing many students. Many landlords have gone on the offensive, talking to their tenants, speaking at NISG Senate meetings and calling upon other landlords with properties in Black Hawk County.

Emotions and concerns on both sides of the issue are valid. As a student, I don’t want my access to housing to be limited to campus just because I’m not living with a spouse or blood relative.

If I had a family and young kids though, I would be hesitant living next to students who may be loud and crazy until midnight or later. The City council has said they will enforce current ordinances more forcefully and have stopped new houses from being converted into rentals for six months. I believe this issue is one that can actually be solved fairly easily.

First, landlords and tenants need to do a better job on property upkeep. Keeping lawns mowed, not throwing trash (like empty beer cans) out on the lawn and keeping their property from looking dilapidated are simple things to make a big difference.

NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG

Second, tenants need to be respectful of their neighbors, especially if they have children. That means not having keggers on a Tuesday until 2 a.m..

What’s important to note is that these problems are caused by a very small number of tenants. The citizens of Cedar Falls need to realize that most student tenants are not the problem. Most tenants are clean, orderly and above all, good neighbors.

Many student tenants would like to live in Cedar Falls after graduation. With good paying jobs hard to find straight out of college (or while still in school), these students are living with their friends until they can find a place to call their own. Cedar Falls is on the map because of UNI, and students should not be relegated to live on campus or by the Hill if they don’t want to. They should have the option to live with people they know and where they want to without feeling like secondclass citizens.

Students, if you are living off campus or plan to soon, read up on this issue and

Trigger warning: America needs gun control COREY COOLING

coolingc@uni.edu

Lately there has been much discussion in the blogosphere on how to deal with content that may activate hurtful or painful memories. This has resulted in a creation of “trigger warnings.”

Trigger warnings can be described as content that may activate painful memories or might ‘trigger’ post-traumatic stress disorder. For example, a blog post about misogyny or rape might contain a trigger warning for rape survivors.

Different sites have featured trigger warnings for content on suicide, racism, sexual assault, and other sensitive topics.

Over this past summer, advocates for trigger warnings have urged publishers and professors to place trigger warnings on books and preface controversial content in class with a ‘trigger warning’. At University of California Santa Barbara, the student senate passed a resolution calling for all professors to label upsetting content and excused ‘triggered’ students from class.

At the same time, there has been a curious lack of discussion about guns, gun control and how to reduce violence.

Despite the horrific Sandy Hook incident and the recent incident in Arizona in which a young girl killed an instructor with a fully-automatic submachine gun, the national discourse has not moved since the Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired in 2004.

In the times following shooting tragedies in Connecticut and Colorado, purchases for ammunition and firearms skyrocketed.

The heavily armed (financed) gun lobby on the right and the anti-gun lobby on the left are so far apart that every discussion turns into a screaming match. In order to have any kind of real conversation, there has to be some agreedupon middle ground. If we’re going to discuss how to properly regulate firearms, we’re going to need some trigger warnings. This way, anyone who actually wants to work on making a better future for our society can have that discussion, and the zealots on both sides can yell at each other elsewhere.

Trigger warning: not all guns are the same.

We all need to understand that firearms come in all

shapes and sizes.

The Kentucky rifle was the pinnacle of gun technology when the second amendment was writen. With a range of 100 yards, it could be fired about twice a minute. Today we have guns that shoot hundreds of rounds per minute, and could fit in a purse.

Understanding that an M-16 needs to be treated differently than a .22 caliber pistol we can at least begin to talk about how maybe automatic weapons aren’t great for children and young adults. Different guns have different legitimate uses, from self-defense to sport shooting to hunting, and should be treated as such.

Trigger warning: America’s gun culture isn’t going away.

There is a pervasive gun culture in America that is as ingrained as baseball or apple pie. We will never be able to live in a society like the United Kingdom where even the police don’t carry firearms. Instead of calling for the complete ban of all guns, let’s instead talk about ways we can encourage people to be smart with their guns.

The Department of Natural Resources has a great hunter safety program here in Iowa.

In Los Angeles around the holidays, the Los Angeles

Police Department holds an event where they will take unwanted guns in exchange for $100 grocery gift cards, no questions asked. Programs like this have taken off around the country to reduce the number of illegal guns on the street.

Trigger warning: Laws that regulate guns are necessary and incomplete.

Let’s put to rest the tired argument that the government can’t regulate guns at all. This is a categorical error made often by “small-government” fanatics who think President Obama is coming to take their guns. Unless you’re diagnosed as mentally unstable or convicted of domestic abuse, the government can’t and won’t be taking your guns. The question is not if we need more or less regulation, the question is if the regulations we have are doing any good. We need more regulation that is sensible, enforceable and doesn’t punish gun enthusiasts who really aren’t bothering anybody. We need to remove the regulation that allows loopholes, creates black markets for firearms and makes accidents more likely.

Trigger warning: the gun lobby is powerful.

Talking about gun regu-

lation is scary for the firearm industry because it may amount to a cut in their profits. We need to be aware of organizations like the National Rifle Association who throw their weight around with campaign donations.

Why would an organization like the NRA be opposed to “smart-gun” technology?

This technology biometrically identifies the shooter and only allows the proper owner to fire the gun. Shouldn’t all police firearms have this technology? Mike Brown was supposedly shot because he reached for an officer’s firearm. Organizations like the NRA placed pressure on gun manufacturers to stop developing this technology. Why? Because it inhibits the flow and sale of firearms, which threatens their bottom line.

The worst thing we can do is pretend like this isn’t a problem that needs to be dealt with today. Listen to how often gun control comes up in the upcoming midterm eletions. Instead of waiting for another tragedy to spur discussion, let’s discuss gun control out in the open and free from emotional calls on both sides. And most importantly, let those who may be triggered by the conversation kindly show themselves out.

Amongst the vibrant atmosphere, friendly competition stirred especially in the inflatable boxing ring.

“I did not expect them to have inflatables inside, so I was surprised when we could box, but I totally won.” Vintrea Davis, freshman psychology major

said, despite a disagreeing friend.

With the great turnout at this event, the RHA committee is eager to hold another Hall-A-Palooza in the future.

“It has been a lot of fun being here,” Matthew Doore, senior biochemistry and business administration double major said.

CHEN

continued from page 1

Chen moved to Iowa City to earn both her masters and Ph.D in communication studies at the University of Iowa.

“I still did not know what I wanted to do for an occupation,” Chen said.

Chen’s plan was to return to Taiwan after earning her Ph.D to be with her parents.

Her siblings, who also came to the U.S., had planned to do the same.

After graduating from University of Iowa in 1990 Chen received notice of a job opening to teach communication studies at the University of Northern Iowa, which would lead her down a different career path than she expected.

When starting out as a new professor, Chen admits her teaching style was a lot different than the style she uses now.

“I was so boring!” she laughs. If my students now went back and saw how I was teaching in the early 90’s, they would not believe how different I was.”

In the fall of 1993 Chen and her husband welcomed a son into their world. It was after becoming a mother that Chen began to connect with her students and relate material to them in such a way that students would never forget.

Unfortunately, her son was diagnosed with leukemia as a toddler and later, autism.

This led Chen to realize the different struggles and journeys each student may face on a day-to-day basis.

“After experiencing hardships with my son, I really began to become empathetic with students and really started to care for students.

I know everyone has something that they struggle with and I was able to see this first hand with my son,” Chen said.

From then on, Chen began to change the structure of her classes and lectures. By being herself, Chen realized she was able to give more to her students than just the

class material.

“From now on when I walk in the door I make sure to make a connection with my students immediately,” Chen said.

Chen said the way she develops a relationship with her students is much more open and honest because she wants to know their interests and concerns. Instead of coming to class with a play-by-play of her lecture, she leaves discussions open so students can think for themselves..

“At the end of the day, it is my job to help my students succeed and now I am able to do that by having real conversations with my students,” Chen said.

In fall of 2012, Chen’s personal life began to deteriorate as her son’s illness became more difficult to manage, causing her to cancel classes in order to be at home with him. Students noticed the challenges Chen and her family were facing—and offered help and support.

“This was the first time in my career that my students had become a support system for me and it felt really good to know my students cared for me as much as I cared for them, it was kind of an emotional moment for me,” Chen said.

Today, her son’s leukemia is in remission, but he still struggles from the effects of autism. The support Chen receives from her students has been a strong motivator to serve her students to the best of her ability.

“I have been able to realize that everyone is different, everyone has a story and I want to be able to continue to help my students because they have made me much more insightful, and I am so thankful for them.” Chen continues. “I have no complaints, I have the best job in the world.”

No one knows what the future holds for Chen, but she will take with her the advice she leaves her students at the end of every class: “Live long and prosperous!”

Panthers fall to Hawkeyes, 31-23 RILEY UBBEN Sports Editor

Sawyer Kollmorgen threw for 380 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers’ 31-23 loss to the Hawkeyes on Saturday.

David Johnson had 237 yards of total offense including 203 yards receiving and one touchdown.

Johnson was able to find a seam down the middle of the field for a 70-yard touchdown reception that would bring UNI to within four, 24-20.

Penalties stunted UNI scoring drives as the Panthers accumulated 128 penalty yards while the Hawkeyes had just 35 penalty yards. Darrian Miller’s nine-yard touchdown run on the Panthers’ first drive was negated by a holding penalty as UNI was forced to kick an early field goal.

“At one point I looked up and there was 13 penalties for 113 yards on us and zero penalties for zero yards on them,” said Kollmorgen.

The Panthers took backto-back delay of game penalties at the Iowa 11-yard line at the start of the fourth quarter. UNI even-

tually had to settle for a Michael Schmadeke 38-yard field goal that brought them to within one, 24-23. This would be the Panthers last score of the game.

UNI had three red zone scoring chances and had to settle for a field goal in all three.

Senior linebacker Jake Farley had a game-high 12 total tackles in his first game back since a leg injury he suffered against North Dakota State last season.

“When we came into camp on August 3, I wrote him off for the season because I saw how he was running,” said UNI head coach Mark Farley. “Whatever he did and whatever happened between now and August 3 was just short of miraculous.”

The Panthers have a week off before their next non-conference game against a Football Bowl Subdivision team.

“We have to learn from our mistakes,” said Mark Farley. “The penalties are the first thing we need to correct. The special teams errors are the second thing

UNI finishes the Marcia E. Hamilton Classic 2-1 RILEY UBBEN Sports Editor

ERIN KAISER/Northern Iowan Archives

Leigh Pudwill (middle) earned the MVC Player of the Week Award after finishing the weekend with 50 kills and 10 errors as the Panthers started the season 2-1.

The Panthers opened their season with a 2-1 outing at the Marcia E. Hamilton Classic in Saint Louis, MO over the weekend. UNI started the weekend off with a loss to Alabama on Friday in four sets before finding their stride against Saint Louis later that day.

After dropping two of the first three sets against Saint Louis, sophomore Leigh Pudwill’s team-high seven kills in the fourth set gave the Panthers a 25-18 win heading into the fifth and final set.

Pudwill had match-high 19 kills while committing just one attacking error.

Eryca Hingtgen and Pudwill combined for six kills in the fifth set as the Panthers took the set 15-8 and the match 3-2.

UNI rounded out their weekend play against Southeast Missouri State on Saturday. The Panthers once again found themselves down

after the first set as they fell 28-26.

Hingtgen finished the second set with six kills and no attack errors as the Panthers evened the match at 1-1.

Hingtgen ended the weekend with 35 kills.

It was more of the same for UNI in the remaining two sets as the Panthers took both of them 25-19, 25-21.

Kinsey Caldwell recorded match-high 47 assists in the win.

Pudwill finished the weekend with a team-leading 50 kills and just 10 errors. Her performance was enough to earn her the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week award.

The Panthers will travel to Lexington, Kentucky for the Bluegrass Battle on Friday.

UNI opens the weekend up with a match against the 16-ranked Kentucky Wildcats at 10 a.m. before taking on the Creighton Bluejays. The Panthers will end the weekend with a match against the 6-ranked Southern California Trojans.
