Auction for awareness KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

IRIS FRASHER/Northern Iowan

Wes Ennis, freshman global marketing major and Patrick Kelly, sophomore psychology major dance and lip sync to I’ve Got the Magic at the Sigma Phi Epsilon’s Snag a SigEp talent show and date auction.

What’s better than a date auction? A date auction raising awareness for sexual assault while donating money to a good cause.

Last week, Sigma Phi Epsilon held their Sexual Assault Awareness Week. For their Wednesday night event, Snag a SigEp, the young men showcased some of their talents and were auctioned off to raise money for the Cedar Valley Friends of the Family.

“I see sexual assault as a growing issue on college campuses, whether it’s student athletes, fraternities, I mean those are two of the big groups that get accused or are in the papers for this, and our fraternity has that motto of wanting to be the difference,” said Ryan Biegger, junior accounting major and fraternity member of SigEp. Before the talent showcase kicked off, a speaker from the Center of Violence Prevention spoke about the

different options people on campus have to learn about sexual assault.

“I think it’s just a really good chance to raise awareness for sexual assault awareness, but also, just again, to see the talent that’s displayed here. I think it’s just cool to see people do things that we don’t even realize behind the scenes,” said Molly Norman, junior communication studies major.

Norman, one of the emcees of the night, engaged in an impromptu rendition of High School Musical’s “Breaking Free” with her fellow host.

The night was filled with various talents including: lip sync battles, dance numbers, grilled cheese making, magic tricks and a musical set by the local band Nova Scotia.

Following acts, the performers would come back on stage to get auctioned off to the highest bidder. The highest single bid for one of the acts was $530.

What’s on your plate today?

JOSIE ROBERTSON Staff Writer

Moderation, balance and variety. These are the three words Lisa Krausman, UNI Administrative Dietitian, uses to sum up the philosophy of the dining centers.

It comes at a time when there is a push from Washington for healthier eating choices, especially when it comes to schools.

Krausman stated that the dining services make it a priority to offer a menu of variety, allowing stu-

dents to put healthy meals together.

“For the most part, I think it’s pretty healthy,” said Jamie Cisna, senior education major, when asked about the meals offered on campus.

Cisna frequently eats at the Piazza, but tries to stay away from the fried food.

Krausman said these items are offered by the dining services due to student demand.

With items that are not considered to be as healthy, such as the fried food,

Krausman suggests students pay close attention to their serving sizes, and how frequently they are eating these particular items.

“You can have those things [if] you want, sometimes, but there’s other things, other healthier food you should have more often,” said Krausman.

Krausman encourages students to follow the ‘my plate’ method, where one analyzes their plate after choosing their food.

Alongside the many fried food options, UNI dining department makes sure to offer and encourage healthier food alternatives across campus.

Strayer-Wood production: A closer look at the Avenue Q puppets KYLE REKEMEYER Associate Copy Editor

Between the dates of Feb 26 through March 1 and March 5 through 7, the UNI Theater Department put on a production of Avenue Q, a play that dealt with problems many recent graduates face, only through the eyes of puppets.

These puppets, however, were not rented for the show, but made entirely by hand.

Jennifer Sheshko Wood and Mark Parrott, assistant professors in the theatre department, led the puppet design for the show.

“Because as a department we try to anticipate, we actually had a puppetry class last spring. And so it was one of our special topics, it’s a floating course,” said Wood. “So it covers an upper level design aspect that we haven’t covered in a show or the students have interest in it. And so there was enough students to populate, more than enough students, so Mark had a puppetry class.”

Wood went on to say that the reason they decided to go with handmade puppets was in part to offer a new

learning experience, since the department had not previously made puppets, and also in part because of the cost.

The building of the puppets also proved to be very time consuming.

I was just really touched that so many of [the students] would put in so many extra hours just to get these things done on a show that came up really fast in the semester.

Jennifer Sheshko Wood

Assistant Theatre Professor

“I’d guesstimate about 40 hours per puppet,” Wood said. “That’s not every student working on every puppet … But because it goes down to the details of: we had to make the eyes, we had to make the noses, we had to make the ears and then attach all those details. I’d say on some of the puppets, 40

hours is a conservative estimate. You know, Rod’s hair took four hours just to make the hair. But then we made two different Rods, so that’s eight hours on hair alone.”

With so much time being spent on the puppets, Wood said that one of the biggest struggles was keeping track of all the details and keeping them consistent throughout the different builds of the same puppet, mainly because the people working on one build weren’t necessarily the same people working on another build.

On the contrary, Wood said that the biggest rewards she got out of this experience was being able to shop for “adorable clothing” and seeing how dedicated the students were.

“I was just really touched,” said Wood, “that so many of them would put in so many extra hours just to get these things done on a show that came up really fast in the semester.”

After the show had come and gone, Wood made note of the attachment the actors had with their puppets, with some “giving their puppets a goodbye hug.”

Unfair student teaching fees COREY COOLING coolingc @uni.edu

As a student preparing for graduation, I’m learning now of the various fees and charges associated with getting out of here and getting my degree in hand.

As a student that sits on the Student Fee Committee, I thought that I was already aware of how fees affect students and what they go towards. However, as I’ve learned through graduation, there are seemingly endless little fees that every student must pay.

I understand that UNI is a cash-strapped institution and that we do the best we can, but I think there is something that must be done. While UNI’s tuition has remained “frozen” for a fourth year in a row , our fees have gone up every year at UNI. Fees such as the technology fee and the student health fee to go towards essential services on campus that all students use, or would use in case of an emergency.

All told, full-time students at UNI pay roughly $1000 in fees every year.

Even if all students don’t make use of all the resources on campus, some students use every resource

every year.

Even if you didn’t attend a single athletic event last year, you probably used the campus WiFi, may have caught a show at the GBPAC for a reduced price or something in between.

However, there are hundreds of students every year that are prevented from using these services but are still forced to pay full fees every year, and this has got to change.

If you’re an education major planning on student teaching, or in a major that requires an internship, you are required to spend at least a semester off-campus building invaluable work experience to catapult you into your career.

The downside is that the semester you student teach, potentially far from campus or even out of state, you’ll still pay full tuition and fees at UNI during that time. If you have an internship or work experience as a part of your major, you’re looking at a semester of tuition and fees regardless if you set foot in Cedar Falls.

Most student teachers also have to pay their host teacher out of pocket, and go to great lengths to find affordable housing while they student teach, all while being unpaid.

It is clear that UNI is placing an unfair burden on students who are trying to become the best in their

THINKSTOCK

Columnist Cooling calls for the unversity to rethink how it treats its student teachers in light of oppressive and unnecessary fees.

field. Personally, I think that it’s nonsense that these students not only pay full tuition, but full fees!

I’m calling for a total rethinking in how UNI treats its students on internship and in student teaching.

Rather than increasing the debt load of these students, UNI should be rewarding the ambition and success of these students by giving them a break on fees.

This is a start in the right direction for something that is simply unfair and discriminatory towards students engaged off cam-

pus.

If UNI really is the absolute best place to become a teacher in Iowa, let’s treat our outgoing teachers with some respect, and recognize that they’re being unfairly assessed fees they don’t have a chance to take advantage of. Let’s begin by waiving all fees for student-teachers and students on internships off-campus.

UNI needs to get serious about student debt, and student fees are a good place to start. If UNI refuses to do this, it is an endorsement that they see

students as nothing more than an additional revenue stream. What message are we sending our rookie teachers, when their last semesters at UNI are spent with one last dig into their checkbook?

Instead let’s send the message that we value our students and soon-to-be alumni, and that we’re serious about keeping college costs down. Let’s end fees for student teaching, and let us begin a sober conversation about what role fees play in UNI’s funding model.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Nobody deserves to be slut-shamed In light of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, I feel it is important to bring up something that is prevalent in society and goes alongside of sexual assault: slut-shaming. Not only is it hurtful to whomever you are “slut-shaming” but it also reveals ignorance on behalf of the person saying it.

To define “slut-shaming” would be imperative to this letter. “Slut-shaming” is the phenomenon of mocking or degrading a woman for her clothing, actions, or if she is having or enjoying sex.

Any attempt to control or manipulate a woman’s image or body against her consent is a form of sexual assault. It violates how a woman feels about herself; it makes her feel she is

If we want to continue improving diversity issues and social injustices, we have to respect the choices of others - even if it’s not a choice we would make for ourselves. inadequate, even though there is nothing wrong with her body.

Much of slut-shaming originates from history placing purity on a female’s virginity and not stressing the importance of a male’s virginity. It is also a form of victim-blaming — saying a woman’s rape or assault was because of what she was wearing at the time of the crime.

I’m sure many of you have done this — called someone a “slut,” “whore” or “ho” because you felt she deserved it. No one

deserves to be slut-shamed; women, just as much as men, deserve to be able to enjoy sex and explore their sexuality in a healthy way.

There’s no shame in having agency over your own body.

Having agency and making decisions for yourself shows you respect your wants, your needs and your health — sexual or otherwise. Slut-shaming someone because of that perpetuates the double standard that men can have as much sex as they want, sans consequence, and women aren’t allowed to enjoy or

even have sex. But it takes two to tango.

I think I see it most often at the bar scene: someone points out a girl and says that she is wearing something that is either “too tight” or “too short.”

Quite frankly, I don’t see how her clothing choices are going to affect the rest of someone’s night. Is what she’s comfortable in going to somehow follow you around and purposefully make your night terrible? Is what makes her feel good about herself going to aid in losing your keys or phone?

A woman’s clothing choices has nothing to do with you or what you think about her. They are solely based on how they make her feel and it’s none of your business. Maybe you should

ask yourself why her clothing makes you uncomfortable to begin with.

As someone who embraces the curves she’s been given, I can attest that I do not dress for anyone but myself because, frankly my dear, I don’t give a darn.

I’m comfortable in my own skin and I’m not about to let some self-righteous child posing as a college student make me feel any different.

It’s important for women to be aware of all forms of sexual assault; it’s equally, if not more, important for society to understand that no one has a right to control someone else’s clothing, piercing, tattoo, lifestyle, food, health, etc. choices.

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

We’ve all been fed misinformation in our American history classes, 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.

SHAMING

continued from page 4

The only thing you should worry about is making the decisions that are best for you and what you are comfortable with.

That’s it. We need more diversity among our leaders. But with the progression, we are setting ourselves back the more we slut-shame.

If we want to continue progressing forward, if we want to continue improving diversity issues and social injustices, we have to respect the choices of others — even if it’s not a choice we would make for ourselves.

The longer someone

Columbus championed the violent eradication, rape, disfigurement and dehumanization of the Native Americans ...

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, 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 thinks they can make the right decisions for someone else, the longer others will feel guilty for their needs, wants and choices.

It’s 2015. Let’s move on to more important issues, rather than slut-shaming.

Victims of slut-shaming: those people made you feel bad about yourself, but don’t let anyone but yourself tell you what to do. As long as you are making the right decisions for yourself and you’re living your life the way you want, it’s all good. You do you, girl.

Remember, raising sexual assault awareness isn’t just about physical acts of assault — it’s about slutshaming, too.

we aren’t told is that she went on to be a prominent figure in American socialism.

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.

THINKSTOCK

The truth about Columbus, according to Nelson, is darker and bloodier than our history books would lead us to believe.

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.

BOOK REVIEW

Romance novel with secrets Graduate students presented their long labored final projects for all to see in Maucker Union and Russell Hall Wednesday. The eighth annual Graduate Student Symposium was held throughout the day, split into three main events: poster presentations, oral presentations and creative performances from noon to 9 p.m.

Susan Schwieger, Director of Graduate Student Life, said there were 71 graduate students participating and 27 graduate faculty judges.

Topics ranged from neurobiology to psychology to speech and language pathology.

According to some graduate students like Amy Davison, who’s majoring in health, physical education and leisure services, the symposium is a great resource for students.

Davison went on to point out the incentives the Graduate College offers students who participate, listing the work opportunities that could come with presenting research.

Davison, whose work focused on alternative methods to medication for treating post-traumatic stress disorder in veterans, also noted the Graduate Student Symposium was a good place to talk to other people about their own projects and find similarities among them.

Salomi Aladia, graduate social psychology major, presented research that monitored Liberal versus Conservative ideals and their effects on racism within the individuals who held the ideals. She found the responses to her project from other people one of the most helpful aspects of the graduate symposium.

Other graduate students, like Corina Klein, clinical psychology major, were just happy to have the practice for other potential presentations in the future. Members of the Graduate College agreed that this was an important opportunity for graduate students and their future, as well as the future of the graduate college itself.

“It’s important to have students showcase their work to faculty and other students as well as nationally because it presents an opportunity to highlight the graduate platform,” Schwieger said.

New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover has done it again.

Her novel twists our hearts with another romance that would cost everything. “Confess” is about a 21-year-old woman who finds her life shattered and tries to rebuild it by finding who she is and what she wants to become.

Losing everything is hard, but for Auburn Reed, reality is a slap in the face.

Art has always been a passion for Auburn so when she goes to a Dallas art studio, her whole world comes crashing down when she meets Owen Gentry.

Secrets are tearing their relationship apart before it even starts and Owen has

the biggest secret of them all, but will he tell her?

Auburn puts her heart and soul into giving Owen a chance, but his past comes back to threaten their love for one another. To save herself from this, she cuts Owen off, but what if this was destiny? Confessing your secrets is the hardest thing to do and Owen has to open himself up to Auburn. But his confession could tear them apart forever.

The novel was a wondering read with detailed actions allowing you to picture the characters in your head.

Spring break is the time to unwind for most students, but I found it refreshing to pick up this book and dive right into this world of secrets and

confessions that come up.

Hoover is a glorious author who entertains the readers into believing that romance is hard but worth fighting for. It took me three days to finish this novel, because I did not want to put it down and miss Auburn and Owen’s love mixed with secrets that need confessing.

I would rate this novel four out of five, because it was beautifully written, but needed to be longer and less wordy with the characters’ daily movements. As a UNI student on campus, I would recommend you grab the nearest book from Hoover. It will make you laugh, cry and love every moment.

SNAG A SIGEP

continued from page 1

For Biegger, the goal for the week was to spread sexual assault awareness through social media such as Twitter and Facebook.

“My goal was to raise awareness and I think that was by Twitter and Facebook, getting people to know what we’re doing, coming to a lot of our events,” Biegger said.

Biegger hoped that students would be “more aware, active bystanders, you could say, help[ing] [to] prevent this from happening in the future.”

Alexandra Sweeney, junior graphic design major, was at the event to support the Greek community, being in a sorority herself.

Through SigEp’s SAAW events, Sweeney was made aware of how common sexual assault occurs.

“Sexual assault is a lot bigger than I thought personally, that actually a lot of women are affected by it, and I think it’s great that the men are taking the initiative to do something about it,” Sweeney said.

Sweeney also commented that her sorority was going to spread awareness and educate their members.

“I know in our chapter we are going to make it a bigger part of making sure we really educate the girls on how deal with it and that it’s important that they’re not alone, that there are a lot of people going through it,” Sweeney said.

Aside from the support system that SigEp has reached in the Greek and

Timothy Scheve, sophomore computer science major, performs for the Snag a SigEp event. Proceeds from the event went to the Cedar Valley Friends of the Family.

UNI community, they have been approached by the Courier and been recognized on a national level.

“I know in the first year, it wasn’t a huge pressing need, but I’ve seen more and more articles pop up recently and seeing how this has grown, and I’m just glad a lot of the community has been able to step behind us and help us with a lot of things,” said Biegger. “I think publicity has grown for us this year and shown that we’re actu-

ally doing positive things.”

With a majority of the acts fetching bids reaching or surpassing the $100 mark, Biegmann was confident that they could reach their goal of $5,000 for the Cedar Valley Friends of the Family.

“There’s been a lot of negative content in the news lately about fraternities and I think this just shows that fraternities are not bad, that they are actually doing great things,” Sweeney said.

UNI throwers shine, sweep three of four events ZACH HUNTLEY Sports Writer

UNI’s Track and Field team competed in Mount Vernon, IA this weekend at the Cornell Invitational. Out-throwing the competition, both men and women placed top four in every throwing event. Taking home multiple first place titles were Panthers Justin Baker and Jamie Lindstrom.

The lady Panthers had an incredible meet, taking first in three of the four throwing events and placing top four in all of them.

Jamie Lindstrom led the hammer throw with a first place distance of 53.04 m.

In the discus competition, Chloe Schmidt took first with a distance of 44.98 m Following her lead, Sarah Pate and Lindstrom placed third and fourth respectively in the discus throw.

Taking her second title of the night, Lindstrom led the shot put, as well, with her 14.78 m throw. In addition to Lindstrom’s lead, Pate and Schmidt took second and fourth in the shot put throw,

with less than a two-meter difference between them.

Finally, Lindstrom came in second in the javelin throw with 34.01 m, officially placing in all four events.

The Panther men took first in three of the four throwing events as well.

Justin Baker earned the shot put title of the night with a throw of 16.82 m., followed by Panther Brad Walski 16.15 m. throw for second.

Earning his first collegiate win with a distance of 46.25, was Jake Humpal in the discus throw. Additionally, UNI took second, third and fourth in the discus throw.

Baker’s second win came in the hammer throw, with a distance of 61.52 m. Baker is dangerously close to the school record with his performance, earning him UNI’s second longest mark in the event.

Finally, Humpal took third for the Panthers in the javelin throw, with a distance of 38.75 m.

Next weekend, the Panthers will visit Lincoln, Neb. competing in the Husker Spring Invite.

Panthers drop two out of three over weekend BRANDON TJEPKES Sports Writer

The UNI Panthers softball team hosted three games against the Wichita State Shockers this weekend. The Panthers came out of the weekend winning one of the three

games.

The Panther s and Shockers split the doubleheader Friday. The Panthers won game one 4-3 and lost the second 4-1.

Neither team was able to score in the first game until the bottom of the

third when UNI’s Caitlin Wnek hit a solo homer to gain the first lead.

The Panthers defense was lead by pitcher Chelsea Ross as they did not allow a hit until the top of the fourth inning.

The Panthers added to their lead with two more

runs by Samantha Olson and Micalla Rettinger.

The Shockers finally got on the board with two runs from four hits in the fifth inning. The score was 4-2 heading to the seventh inning. The Shockers had one last chance to win but came out with only one

For the second game, the Panthers were able to gain the first lead in the second inning. Olson hit one out to left field to bring Julia Hunter home.

The Shockers retaliated in the next inning with a Cacy Williams run. They gained a multi-run inning in the seventh, scoring three runs on four hits. Brittany For tner hit a single bringing in Ashley Johnson. Fortner and Williams then scored shortly afterwards on a Mackenzie Wright single.

The scores brought the Shockers a 4-1 lead that stuck during the ne xt inning.

Both teams came back the next day to end the triple header. The Panthers fell in the third game 3-6.

Just like the first two games, the Panther s gained the first lead of Saturday’s game. Wnek scored in the first inning on a Kristin Lock single.

The Shockers answered back to tie with a run in the second with another Wright run.

OPINION

Which teams will surprise in 2015? A bandwagoner’s guide SEAN DENGLER

Sports Columnist

Baseball season has begun. Hot dogs are being grilled and beers are being poured. The San Francisco Giants are coming off their third World Series title in five years, but no need to worry about them. I am only concerned with teams whose bandwagons need to

be filled.

There is always next year, but this is the year to jump on the Chicago Cubs’ bandwagon. The North Siders are full of young talent, and Kris Bryant is the leader of this bunch. He is only 23-years-old, and he led the MLB in homeruns during spring training. In 67 games with the Iowa Cubs last season, Bryant hit 43 homeruns with a .295

batting average and a .619 slugging percentage.

The Cubbies also have a depth of current talent with the likes of Jon Lester, Anthony Rizzo, and Starlin Castro. Lester signed a sixyear, $155 million deal with the Cubs this offseason after winning 16 games with 220 strikeouts and a 2.46 ERA. Rizzo came out of a sophomore year slump by finishing third in the MLB with

continued from page 8

The Shockers gained the lead in the third with two more runs from Wright and Kelli Spring.

Hunter scored in the sixth to cut the deficit to 2-3, but the Shockers had other plans.

Another home run by Rikki Alcaraz, her fifth of the season, helped UNI. But an opposing three runs on four hits was too much for the Panthers as they were not able to come back in the seventh. The Panthers are now 13-19 on the season and 7-4 in the MVC. The Panthers will travel to play to Columbia to play Missouri on Wednesday at 8 p.m.

Top Right: Kennedy Bailey (16) follows through on a swing

Bottom Left: Micalla Rettinger (12) swings at a pitch Bottom Right: Caitlin Wnek (27) swinging at a pitch. Wnek had 5 hits over the weekend.

The biggest heist for the CUbs this offseason was bringing in manager Joe Maddon. a .527 slugging percentage and fourth with a .386 on base percentage. Castro rebounded last year with a .292 batting average while amassing 58 runs and 65 RBIs. The biggest heist for the Cubs this offseason was bringing in manager Joe Maddon. His managerial wisdom will enable the upward projection of the Cubs. In his nine years with the Tampa Bay Rays, Maddon won over 90 games five times. In the last 30 years, the Chicago Cubs have won 90 games three times. Something has to give, and Maddon is the man for the job.

The next team worth considering a jump onto their bandwagon are the Boston Red Sox. After winning the World Series in 2013, the Red Sox were horrible in 2014 with a 71-91 record.

This season, the Red Sox have reloaded with talents

like Hanley Ramirez and Pablo Sandoval. Ramirez comes to Boston after a couple of injuries plagued his years with the Los Angeles Dodgers. With him being a career .300 hitter, he adds a steady bat to the lineup.

He also had a strong spring training with 14 hits and 12 RBIs. The five-year, $95 million man in Pablo Sandoval was a big addition for the Red Sox. Last season, Sandoval accounted for 164 hits which is the second highest amount in his career while knocking in 73 runs.

Another part of the success this year for the Red Sox is David Ortiz. As the soul of Boston, Big Papi is an important part to the team’s success. Last season, Ortiz hit 35 homeruns with 104 RBIs. This was his highest output in these categories since 2007.

The Red Sox and the Cubs are teams whose bandwagons need to be filled up.

Both teams (especially the Cubs) are due for a bounceback season. The offseason has been very busy for them. They are going to be successful this year, and it will be fun for everybody who is holding on to the wagon.
