YouTuber Oakley visits campus KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

The Maucker Union Ballroom was packed as students gathered for the Campus Activities Board’s speaker, Tyler Oakley, on Thursday.

Hours before the actual talk, students lined the walkway leading into Lang Hall.

Tyler Oakley makes videos and posts them to YouTube and can also be found on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.

Aside from creating YouTube videos, he is an advocate for LGBTQ* youth and works with the Trevor Project, which concentrates on suicide prevention for LGBTQ* youth.

Students crowed the Maucker Union Ballroom to have the chance to see YouTube star, Tyler Oakley. Oakley is also an advocate for LGBTQ* youth and works with the Trevor Project.

Committee Executive, said CAB decided to bring something lighthearted to the table for the spring semester after having hosted To Write Love On Her Arm’s founder Jamie Tworkowski in November.

“Tyler is very fun and relevant in pop culture so there were no doubts that there would be a great turnout and it would be enjoyable,” said Hanna.

Genevieve Moravek, freshman psychology and social work double major, had discovered Tyler Oakley while watching another YouTuber, Conner Franta. “I just came with my friend, I’ve only seen a couple [of his videos] to be honest.”

Board of Regents “Move in, move through, to convene at UNI and move on” AMBER ROUSE

Executive Editor

The state Board of Regents will meet Wednesday, Feb. 4 and Thursday, Feb. 5 in Maucker Union at the University of Northern Iowa campus to discuss agenda items such as a TIER study update, an economic development presentation on UNI’s Business and Community division and a report on an alternative Regent Admission Index for admissions.

While on campus the Board will review a proposal from the Admissions Study Team Final Report. This proposal presents an alternative Regent Admission

Index, reviewing Iowa students from high school that do not provide class rank, according to a media brief.

If the Board approves the proposal, it will be implemented for the Summer/Fall 2016 admission of incoming freshmen.

This will also be the first full Board meeting for newly appointed Regent Sherry Bates. Regent Bates was appointed to the position Dec. 22, 2014 after Regent Nicole Carroll announced her resignation late November.

The Board looks to receive an update on the presidential search for the University of Iowa. UI’s president, Sally Mason, announced her retirement Jan. 15.

Life in UNI residence halls could look different next semester.

All students choosing to live in the traditional dorms (all dorms except Shull, Roth and Panther Village) may become part of a LivingLearning Community because of Department of Residence changes. Moreover, there is a budgetary proposal for the cost of on-campus laundry services to be built into students’ Room and Board costs.

LLCs are specially designated floors within dorms that groups students together based on shared interests and goals, according to the DOR website.

ANDI KING/Northern Iowan

On-campus housing will be adapting many new changes, including the temporary closing of Lawther Hall for the 2015-2016 academic year.

In addition to academic LLCs — those floors within certain dorms reserved for biology, business, education, music, women’s and gender studies or deciding majors —

there are also LLCs based on classification. These include Springboard and STEP communities.

Springboard is reserved for first-years.

STEP stands for Sophomore Transformation Experience Program, as stated on the DOR website. While STEP seems like it is aimed at sophomores, Redington said that any junior or senior is considered under the STEP program and can live anywhere on campus.

We have decided, as a university, to embrace a model called the Student Transition Model by Nancy Schlossberg.

Lyn Redington

dept. of residence directior

Virtually all students in traditional dorms will become members of an LLC, according to their website, uni.edu/dor/housing. On the website, user can select the different residence halls and view how the LLCs are organized.

“We have decided, as a university, to embrace a model called the Student Transition Model by Nancy Schlossberg. It basically says that students, through their college career, would move in, move through and move on,” said Redington.

The Department of Resident’s decision to embrace this model stems from a weeklong program at Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA called the National Summer Institute on Learning Communities

— a program that Redington and nine others attended.

DOR members who attended the program concluded that incorporating the model is in UNI’s best interests and drafted a document applying the model to campus dorms.

According to Redington, the model states that students (generally first-years) are in a transitional and exploratory stage, working to discover their interests: this is the “move in” stage.

Redington said there will be more Springboard hallways than this year because the numbers of incoming first year students show more Springboard hallways are needed.

Students in the “move through” stage (sophomores and juniors) are delving deeper into their majors, focusing and perhaps refining their passion, Redington said. Generally, seniors are in the “move on” stage, looking forward to beginning their careers and moving on from college life.

“There’s a lot of research out there that speaks to students living together in learning communities — being supported throughout their college career — that will enhance their academic success,” Redington said, “and that is why we’re here.”

Part of the Department of Residence’s proposed budget for next year, which is still pending approval from the President and the Board of Regents, is a plan for laundry to be free for on-campus students — meaning that the cost will supplement room and board rates.

The cost to students is predicted to be $5.56 per

NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2015

month; the cumulative total being charged as a one-time fee on top of room and board rates.

Each time I do laundry it costs me about $4.50, and I do that three times a month.

So I would support the proposal.

Nate Rondeau deciding major

“Through all the research, this number is definitely going to cover [the costs], and we have heard overwhelming student support from this.

It is not an official policy, but it’s something that the department is seriously exploring. It would be a one-time total fee, and we believe that this will be less than what most students are going to be paying anyway,” said Jared Heitz, junior English education major and residence hall association president.

For Nate Rondeau, deciding major, $5.56 would be less than what he is currently paying for laundry.

“Each time I do laundry it costs me about $4.50, and I do that three times a month. So I would support the proposal,” Rondeau said.

For others, the DOR’s proposition would increase laundry expenses.

“I hardly ever use the laundry services — maybe once a month, and that’s being generous — so I don’t like [the proposal]. I don’t like that at all,” said Jayne McKeon, art and psychology major.

You are more than a major FEBRUARY 2, 2015

ERIC BOISEN boisen @uni.edu

On Thursday, Feb. 19, UNI will be hosting it’s semi-annual Career Fair. The Career Fair is a time where over 100 employers and graduate schools come here to talk to students. They talk about jobs after graduation, internships during the spring or summer or they recruit students for a grad program.

I did not go to the career fair my Freshman and Sophomore years at UNI. There were two reasons for this. The first reason is the same as many young students; I simply felt that I did not need to go. I was going to be in school for four years, so why spend two of those looking for a job that would not have any opportunity to hire me without a degree?

The second reason for not going to the career fair was because of my field of study. I have a major in political science with minors in Philosophy and Ethics. I distinctly remember hearing, and still hear, the charge that the career fair is only for those with business majors. That I would not be able to adequately advertise myself with my field of study. That employers

would automatically roll their eyes when I say “Hello, my name is Eric Boisen, and I am a political science major.”

Granted, the career fair does have many employers that are looking for business majors. When your university has an outstanding business school, employers are going to look for those majors. Also, I have had employers shrug me off when I tell them my major. But for every employer who has told me “we aren’t looking for anyone from that major,” I have talked to two employers in a career that does not directly correlate to the degree they received in college.

Look for a company that interests you and introduce yourself.

If you go to the career fair and let your major define you, then you are doing it wrong. Your major is important, but you are more than a major. The career fair is about helping you sell yourself to employers, to use your experiences in college and show employers how you can succeed at their company.

As I said above, the career fair does not just have post-

grad opportunities. The career fair has many internships that are designed for students to gain experiences. They can then use those experiences to get a job after graduation. If you are looking for an internship as a freshman or sophomore, go to the career fair.

I would encourage everyone, regardless of year in school or major to attend the career fair. As a first or second year student, you should go to: 1) See how it works for when you will be looking for

jobs. 2) Look at possible summer internships (going home for the summer is overrated).

3) Look and see what companies have the biggest setups.

They will be the ones who will be back year after year.

Make connections with those recruiters in case you would like to talk to them about a job after graduation.

If you feel that your major will keep you out of most jobs there, talk to them anyway.

Look for a company that interests you and introduce your-

self. Chances are they won’t have a degree in what you expect.

Overall, I am saying you should go to the career fair.

The best thing that could happen is you find a job, internship or grad school. The worst thing that can happen is you spend an hour of your day talking to people and possibly get out of class. I know for a fact that any professor will let you miss their class if you tell them you are going to the career fair.

Minimum wage, good intentions and empty results GABE GRAVERT

gravertg @uni.edu

I, as a “team member” of the lovely retail store, Target, believe there are no gains from drastically raising minimum wage. Many of my acquaintances are working part-time and some of crazy ones are working a full-time job, while also attending college as a full-time student. Many of them do this as a necessity to pay for college, rent and mostly going to bars on any night they don’t work.

Many teens use minimum wage jobs to get a foot in the door for bigger and better opportunities. According to the US Department of Labor, between 2007 and 2009, the minimum wage changed three times from $5.15 to $7.25.

The unemployment rate of teens age 16 through 19, rose from 8% to 25% from mid2000’s to present time.

Raising the minimum wage may seem a great way to

increase income for the poor, but it is only a shot in the arm when we need a true cure. In a study done by Joseph J. Sabia, he shows that raising the minimum wage is a failed stimulus and does not increase gross domestic product (GDP).

Raising minimum wage would increase high school enrollment in theory because it would take potential students who opt out for full time employment and give them opportunities to make subsistent wages through part-time work, freeing them to be full time students. According to Sabia that is not the case.

Increasing the minimum wage will make it less likely for teens to be hired for those important entry-level jobs because of the added inconvenience that they have harder schedules to work around and less experience. Increasing minimum wage reduces the benefit of firms and companies hiring younger workers because they already pay to give them proper training. At Target, for instance, just knowing the workings of a computer with which

Tibune News Service

In Chicago, hundreds of protesters rally for a $15 an hour minimum wage on Sept. 4, 2014. The battle for a higher minimum wage is expected to continue in 2015. (Antonio Perez/Chicago Tribune/TNS)

most post-secondary students already are familiar requires training those without a postsecondary education.

Minimum wages have no effect on salary based positions. Therefore many citizens would keep the same pay, but when they go to a restaurant or want to buy groceries they see their totals increase.

Private companies have one thing on their mind, profit.

If their expenses increase then they will find ways to

make their income rise with it. That creates higher prices.

That stresses the incomes of those who are on permanent fixed incomes such as retired citizens.

Raising the minimum wage would do more harm than it would good. It may help those benefitting from the higher wages for a short term, but when the cost of living increases with it, the benefit is short term. Employees in general will be laid off

because the businesses need to clear up some capital in order to pay for the higher minimum wages forced upon them. It is hurting the workers who are suffering lay-offs as businesses try to adjust to the new wages, and the consumers suffering from the higher prices when they also are making stagnant incomes or having no income due to the lack of jobs. There’s no doubt that the intentions of minimum wage boosters are good, but there needs to be more research in the actual implementation of increasing minimum wages rather than the “perfect world” theory.

Finally what would be the cure? When incomes increased the most in America there was a strong demand for employees. First a growing economy and second, training that can be available through employers who could afford to do so if the entry-level jobs were not such a big part of their operating costs.

Minimum wage is not a cure but only a short remission from the decease of poverty.

Breaking out the dancing shoes BROOKE WIESE Staff Writer

The 3rd annual Dance Marathon Black Tie Affair was held at Threehouse: A Wesley Foundation Thursday evening. Admission was five dollars for one person or seven dollars for a couple.

Many students brushed up on their dancing skills and attended the event.

“There’s a photo booth, and it’s a professional photobooth. We have a bunch of free food. It’s sponsored

by Red so we have a bunch of that,” said Sarah Hanson, senior leisure, youth & human services major and director of public relations for Dance Marathon. “There’s poker that’s sponsored by a fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon. We also have a dance down in the basement that’s kind of like a rave.”

If people didn’t feel like dancing, there were plenty of others things to keep them

entertained.

“This is kind of like a preview to our dance marathon big event. We’re super excited for it. We also want to give people the chance to

get out of their dorms or get out of their apartments and do something in a safe environment with no alcohol or anything like that. People can just come get dressed up. It’s

a really good time,” Hanson said.

“I just wanted to come out and have fun,” Bittner said.

Jackie Henry, freshman social work and family services double major said she was impressed with the turn out of the event.

“I definitely think more people should come next year,” Henry said, “but we might have to have a bigger venue just because there are so many people.”

The event wasn’t just for fun, however. Hanson said they were also raising money for the University of Iowa children’s hospital.

The money raised during the Black Tie Affair event will go toward the final amount during Dance Marathon’s Big Event on March 7.

“It’s really great to see all the campus and the community coming out for this black tie affair. It really shows the support that everyone has for such a great organization,” Hanson said.

Panther Catholic Week is being sponsored by the student organizations St. Stephen the Witness Catholic Student Center, UNI Right to Life, UNI Knights of Columbus and funded in part by the Northern Iowa Student Government.

This is an opportunity for all UNI students, whether Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Protestant, non-religious or any other faith, to engage in the Christian Faith.

Panther Catholic Week will be held Feb. 2-6.

“The different events provide an educational and spiritual growth opportunity to challenge us to be engaged in our own faith lives. This week also presents opportunities to give back to the community, to spread social justice awareness and enjoy community events with other fellow Panthers,” said Ben Huber, senior elementary education and middle level education double major.

All events are free and open to the public.

The first event during Panther Catholic Week is “The Revolution of Holiness” on Monday, Feb. 2. Dan DeMatte’s speech will be in Lang Hall Auditorium at 8 p.m.

“Overall, this week will equip us in being knowledgeable of other religious foundations and will encourage all of us to reflect on our actions and our acceptance of others

within the UNI community,” Huber said.

A concert with Daniel Oberreuter, lead singer of The Thirsting Band will perform Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Lang Hall Auditorium. The performance aims to proclaim the truth of Catholicism.

On Wednesday at 9 p.m. there will be a “Primetime Mass and Social” with Chad’s Pizza at St. Stephen the Witness Catholic Student Center. There will also be a chance to win prizes if attendees wear UNI apparel.

There will be an opportunity to donate to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank on Thursday, Feb. 5 from 5-7 p.m. for a free meal in the St. Stephen Catholic Student Center Social Hall.

At 7 p.m. “The 40 Film” will play in the St. Stephen Catholic Student Center Classroom.

The event “Romans & Christians Tournament” will take place in the St. Stephen Catholic Student Center Social Hall Friday from 7-10 p.m.

“The theme of the week is based off of Matthew’s Gospel passage, Matthew Chapter 5 verses 14-16, helping us to recognize that we are not meant to hide the gift we’ve received in freedom with Jesus, but to share and be that Light to the world,” Huber said. “Hopefully this week presents a way where we can all share our Light with others in a positive and accepting way for our neighbor Panthers.”

Dance Marathon hosted a Dance Benefit at GallagherBluedorn to raise money for the Iowa City Children’s hospitals Saturday. The event was open to the community and free to students. Local Cedar Valley dance teams came together along with the International Dance Theater and Orchesis to perform for the community at this event, showing a wide variety of talent for all ages.

“We have never done anything like this for UNI

Dance Marathon before. So we are very excited to reach a new demographic of people to share what UNI Dance Marathon is all about,” said Andrea Thoene, senior communication major.

The night provided a range of dancing and performances to spread the word about the fundraiser to the community. Dance Marathon supports families who have kids that are affected by life-threatening illnesses to help cover costs of their expenses for treatments.

Brazilian 2wins wrapped

up the night of dancing.

The Brazilian natives are not strangers to the Cedar Valley. Their many performances cover classical and pop songs, and bring two cultures together to create a more diverse scene and a new spin on things.

The event was to prepare the community for Dance Marathon’s Big Event, which will take place March 7. Registration for the 4th annual Dance Marathon is still open. The event includes two meals and activities throughout the 12 hours in Maucker Union.

“His time at UNI was very lighthearted and interactive which made the presentation very laid back. . . .Tyler was all over the place and told a ton of awesome stories; if you’ve ever seen his videos, he was exactly like he is in his videos in person,” Hanna said.

Oakley took audience questions and told some stories such as interviewing the Obamas. Korey

Kuhl, a friend of Oakley’s, accompanied him and helped keep him on track whenever he veered off in his stories.

“I love that he isn’t afraid to be himself and is always willing to share his opinion. He is hilarious, fun and his laugh is infectious. He is who he is and he’s not afraid to ‘do him’ as he would say,” Hanna said. “I personally enjoy him because he is sassy and sarcastic and we are one in the same in that sense.”

UNI continues their impressive season by defeating Wichita State 70-54 Saturday. This win puts the Panthers at 20-2 and a tie for first place in the Missouri Valley Conference with Wichita State.

The loss snaps Wichita State’s 27 conference game winning streak and a 19-3 record. On paper this game was supposed to be close, but UNI was in control throughout the whole after noon.

We talked about coming in here and beating them by 15.

That was our mindset.

about beating them by one or two. We talked about coming in here and beating them by 15. That was our mindset.”

Tuttle had a career day to add to this big win. He began the game with a 7-0 run just on his own. He also scored a career-high 29 points. Tuttle was proficient shooting the ball as he finished with 69% percent scoring.

“He is a g reat player,” Wichita State coach Greg Marshall said about Tuttle. “He is an allconference guy. He was unstoppable tonight.”

Not only did the Panther s bring their A-game to the court, the crowd also came up big as the McLeod Center was shaking all game long.

Every shot came with a giant cheer from the fans.

“That place was rocking,” said Tuttle. “They

“I was feeding off the energ y of the crowd tonight,” Wes Washpun said after the game.

“When we have a crowd like that behind us all night, it gives you a boost of energ y.”

Wichita State will have a chance to avenge their defeat when UNI travels to their court Feb. 28.

“It gives us confidence,” said Washpun about the first win. “But we know how tough the Valley is.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Panthers stifled by Shocker defense, fall 70-52 RYAN NELSON Sports Writer

The University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team was stifled

by Wichita State’s defense on Friday, falling to the shockers 70-52 after scoring 12 points in the first half.

“There is a reason they are undefeated in conference play,” said UNI women’s basketball coach Tanya Warren.

Wichita State set the tone early in the game with its pressure defense, not allowing the Panthers to get into much of a rhythm.

The Panthers were held to a mere shooting percentage of 13, and forced into turning the ball over 9 times in the opening stanza.

“I thought we came out extremely flat, very intimidated,” described Warren of her team’s start.

The Shockers started the game with an 11-2 run before UNI rattled off a little run of their own to get

within four, but it never got much closer than that.

Wichita State used an 18-2 run to blow the game open in the later part of the first half.

Wichita State’s defense wasn’t the only dominating aspect of their game; the Shockers shot at 60 percent.

The second half went quite a bit better for the Panthers, as they were able to shoot a better percentage, at 44.8 percent. They showed quite a bit of promise when they hit six shots from behind the 3-point line.

“We really needed that momentum in the second half,” said UNI sophomore guard Madison Weekly.

Madison Weekly (2) scored nine of her 12 points from behind the 3-point line in UNI’s 70-52 loss to Wichita State Friday. Weekly leads the Panthers in scoring with 14.4 points per game.

“This game is behind us now and we have to focus for Sunday on a very good Missouri State team.”

The Panther attack was led by a relentless and strong

performance by Weekly.

She scored a team-high 12 points, nine of which came from deep. Brooke Brown and Stephanie Davison both pitched in eight points

apiece.

The loss dropped UNI to 6-2 in conference play with both losses coming to the top teams in the Missouri Valley Conference.
