BSU’s ‘Fashion 4 Action’ KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

Models and spectators were dressed to impress for the Black Student Union’s (BSU) Fashion 4 Action event on Feb. 6. The show was part of the BSU’s line-up of events for Black History Month.

Alexis Tellis, freshman English major helping with the event, said the fashion

show can unite students together.

“Everyone has different fashion, everyone can contribute and all work together to get a good message out. […] diverse students can work together,” said Tellis.

“It doesn’t have to be just specifically white students working together, specifically black students working together. We can all work together as a team.”

Campaigning for student body president begins today, Feb. 8. One of the candidates on the ticket is student athlete Jamison Whiting and his vice-president, Aaron Friel. If Whiting wins the election, he said he will be the first student athlete to become student body president in UNI history.

While the idea of being the first student athlete to become president excites Whiting, he is also confused about why this hasn’t happened before.

“I don’t know why it wasn’t done sooner,” Whiting said.

“As with being an athlete, you have a spotlight on you, and it’s given me an opportunity to spread awareness to other things. I think we, as athletes, do that extremely well, and I want to relate that to the entire student body.”

Some UNI students see no problem with having a student athlete as president.

“I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t be president. They’re just as capable as any other person,” said Camille Crossett, sophomore history major.

See CANDIDATES, page 2

Students and community members were able to volunteer to be models for the show, showing off the designer’s different styles and designs, which Tellis described as a wide and varied sampling.

She said the show’s divided segments allowed both familiar and unexpected styles.

Price is right at UNI

|

KILEY COPPOCK Staff Writer

On Monday, Feb. 8 at 7:30 p.m., Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (GBPAC) invites people ages 18 years and older to “come on down” and participate in “The Price is Right Live.”

Those who were lucky enough to get tickets to the sold out event will have the chance to win fabulous prizes and play famous games from the television show of the same name.

The traveling “Price is Right Live” event recreates the beloved game show that made its debut in 1956. During this event, randomly selected contestants have a chance to play the games featured on the “Price is Right” that are well-known by even the occasional viewer.

On the traveling show’s website, some of the highlights include: ‘Come on Down,’ Plinko, the Showcase Showdown and, of course, the Big Wheel.

The host is neither Bob Barker nor Drew Carey, but another game-show host, Todd Newton. Newton hosted “Family Game Night” for four years and has been touring with the “Price is Right Live.”

Associate marketing director of Gallagher Bluedorn, Blake Argotsinger, explained why the staff at Gallagher sought out this show to perform at GBPAC. “This was a show we selected as a way to broaden the depth of entertainment that we bring to Gallagher Bluedorn, to somewhat break the mold

One lucky contestant at the “Price is Right Live” presses his luck in ‘Plinko,’ one of the most iconic games from the television game show.

of people thinking Gallagher is only for the fine arts, for classical music and chamber music,” said Argotsinger. “We wanted to bring in some big name shows that have high entertainment value that will reach a larger part of the community.”

This show appears to have done that. The theater has hit capacity ticket sales at just over 1,500 tickets sold to students and other residents around the Cedar Falls area. Those who choose to participate can expect to win prizes just as big as those featured on the actual “Price is Right” television show.

“Contestants could win a trip, a living room set, a stereo system,” said Argotsinger.

“So what I’d recommend is that you brush up on your everyday household product prices or even some car prices.”

However, in order to have a chance to win these prizes, participants must register.

Buying a ticket does not guarantee that you are a contestant.

Argotsinger explained how

those attending the show can register.

“We will have a registration table set up three hours before the show starting at 4:30 on Monday,” said Argotsinger.

“You can pre-register online, but you will still need to bring a photo ID to show that you are over 18 and are eligible to win.”

The GBPAC will also be providing pre-show entertainment.

“We will have UNI catering selling food and drinks,” said Argotsinger. “We’ll also have the best scenes of the ‘come on downs’ and samples of notable shirts that people have made for the show.”

Since this is the first appearance of the “Price is Right Live” at the GBPAC, Argotsinger gave advice for those lucky enough to experience this live event.

“I would say if you’re going to the show, do it up.

Get a group of people to make shirts, research the come on downs, and have fun with it,” Argotsinger said.

IA caucuses: field of (broken) dreams I’m sure many of you feel the same relief I do now that the Iowa caucuses are over. It can be comforting to sink back into the anonymity our state enjoys for the time between presidential elections. It’s also comforting to see some of the candidates in the overburdened roster begin to see the writing on the wall and drop out of the election.

The Iowa caucuses helped cut short the campaigns of Martin O’Malley (future vice president), Rand Paul (future hair product spokesperson), Rick Santorum (future strip club regular) and Mike Huckabee (future poisoned Kool-Aid pusher). For the other voters around the country who would like to thank the citizens of Iowa for prompting this thinning, we ask that, in lieu of gifts, they donate to their local humane society.

Oscar controversy symptom of international racism There has been quite the controversy surrounding the Oscars this year. On Feb. 28, 2016, the 88th Academy Awards Ceremony will take place. No minority actors have been nominated for any award.

As a matter of fact, “Straight Outta Compton,” a movie primarily about black culture, was nominated for its white screenplay writers.

For some, racism is the first and obvious scapegoat.

However, Hollywood is an extremely pro-liberal industry.

Surely they of all industries in the U.S. wouldn’t discriminate against minorities. Some black stars have suggested that there aren’t enough directors and producers of color to create movies, and therefore, the statistical chances of a black person being nominated isn’t very high.

I suggest that it is something broader, something more international.

In 2014, Sony suffered a large scale hack and some of the emails leaked revealed

the conversations of people with power in Hollywood.

One email in particular stood out, between Sony chairman, Michael Lynton, and an anonymous producer.

The producer suggested that “Sony should avoid casting black actors to appeal to an international market.” The producer then suggested the

For some, racism is the first and obvious scapegoat ... I suggest that it is something broader, something more international.

idea that those international markets are “racist” and hoped the message sent wasn’t “inappropriate or provocative.” In other words, there is a feeling in Hollywood that American audiences were more likely to accept a major black or Hispanic character as much as a European or Jewish actor.

We also have evidence of foreign markets not being too eager for a black leading role.

In China, the promotional images for “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” had the character Finn, played by John Boyega, either reduced in size or removed altogether despite Boyega arguably being the main character, if not secondary main character.

In 2015, the highest grossing Hollywood film in China was “Furious 7,” a film with a primarily white cast. The next was “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” another movie with a primarily white cast. After that, “Jurassic World,” and then in last place, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”

Hollywood now sees China as a potential new market. They already make billions in the U.S. and Europe, why not add China to the mix. However, the culture of China is different and may not necessarily approve of racial representation the U.S. finds normal. As a result, Oscar nominations for the second year in a row have gone to white recipients. Winning an Oscar only gives good press to those involved. I wouldn’t put it past Hollywood execs using their influence with the Academy to help sales abroad.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

A YouGov poll asked respondents what they thought of the representation of diverse actors in the Oscar nominations for 2016. No minority actors have been nominated for any award.

THEATRE REVIEW

Same old Bo, for better or worse

COLIN MATTOX Theatre Critic

The stage is set with a small keyboard, a microphone and, most curiously, four chairs and four music stands — ­ everyone thinks they know what’s coming.

On Feb. 3, musical comedian Bo Burnham performed at the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (GBPAC) to a crowd of howling millennials.

First, I would like to make a statement on what I saw to be good character on Mr. Burnham’s part. Not only did he walk on stage wearing a UNI sweatshirt, but he also unexpectedly used a string quartet from our own music department as an opening act.

I suppose it’s possible that he may be pandering to us (“pandering” ironically being the title of one of his songs), but I doubt it. It seems as though Burnham is a genuinely decent person off-stage.

I bring up those howling millenials for two reasons. One, because I am of the same age, and therefore I can say this. Two, because the millennials are the only group that Burnham appeals to. This is not to say that he is not funny, as he certainly has some comedic chops. However, it does seem like his act is losing its shine.

Burnham began doing comedy in his teenage years. He started by recording himself singing comedic songs that he had composed and posting them on YouTube. Soon after that, he had a hit album and won Comedy Central’s “Standup Showdown.” As a comic myself, I know what it’s like to be onstage. Granted, I have not performed to as large of an audience as Burnham has but the art should remain similar.

Burnham talks a lot in his act about his appreciation for art and being an artist, comedian and a lover of words and poetry. This can clearly be seen in some of his more reserved songs.

However, a large part of his act consisted of complex lights and pre-recorded tracks. As a comic, I felt this was unneeded and a bit too much.

What made Burnham well-liked in the first place was his clever lyrics and his rather abrupt meta-humor, but most of that has seemed to go out the window with his new-found

ethnicity or race, there are still lessons to be learned, according to Jamiah Cross, sophomore psychology major. “[It’s all about] appreciation, unity, teamwork -because it takes a lot to put on something like this and to make it pretty successful and working with a lot of people, personalities, working a lot of fast-paced kind of decision making,” said Cross. “It’s more like skills, it’s more like building a social foundation for yourself.”

Over the course of Black History Month, the BSU will put on more events.

On Friday, Feb. 12, there will be a 90’s-themed skate party at the WRC. Students can bring stakes, and skates will also be provided. Other Black History Month events include a Tunnel of Oppression and speaker, Rasheed Cromwell. A full list of events can be found on the BSU Facebook page.

Junior political science and philosophy double major, Gabbie Ruggiero, heard about the event through her RA position. “[The show taught me that] the potential of UNI students is a big one and also embracing different cultures and the multicultural education that you can get at UNI if you reach out for it,” Ruggiero said.

For Grace Ritter, senior psychology major, the Fashion 4 Action show was a way to get a different perspective of campus.

“It shows more than one side of campus,” Ritter said.

“I think that it allows us to celebrate the Black History Month more in-depth; it gives us a better insight into different aspects of college. I know a lot of the times people just follow fads, might not know exactly where they come from. So I think this is really a unique opportunity to gain insight to where those fashions are coming from.”

As noted by Ruggiero, the crowd was not as diverse as it could have been.

“A lot of students don’t come to these events because they think it’s for black students or ethnic students, and really everyone should be part of these events,” said ROLAND FERRIE/COUTESEY PHOTO Ruggiero.

I was surprised to see that his content hasn’t really changed. Maybe it’s just me, maybe I’ve just grown out of Burnham. But what will happen to him when the rest of his fan base also outgrows him?

Despite all that, I did enjoy some parts of the show.

One thing that Burnham seems to have changed is his improvisation skills. He often took breaks in his act to talk to the crowd, and his timing and clever quips were really funny.

One example was when he mentioned that he had recently gone through a break-up and an audience member shouted a “Whoo!” to HANNAH GIBBS/Northern Iowan which Burnham replied: Burnham addressed the crowd on a number of occasions, making quips about the names of the buildings on campus “I wish a manageable and the mascot.

Panthers drop the Bulldogs in their rematch, 82-66

LOGAN WINFORD/Northern Iowan

Paul Jesperson (4) led the Panthers with 21 points as well as going 5-9 behind the arc. The Panthers are now on a four-game winning streak.

DYLAN PADY

Sports Writer

The UNI men’s basketball team beat Drake University on Saturday with a final

score of 82-66. This marks the fourth straight game the Panthers have won, with the team shooting 61.8 percent from the field against the Bulldogs.

Jeremy Morgan received the first bucket of the game with a quick layup assisted

by Paul Jesperson. Just four minutes into the game, the score was tied at 8-8 with another layup by Morgan.

After a jump shot by Bulldog, Reed Timmer, the Panthers rallied to take a 16-10 lead. Defensively, the Panthers did not let the Bulldogs score for two minutes.

In just the first half, the Panthers shot 62.1 percent from the court compared to the Bulldogs’ 52.6 percent and did not shoot at all from the foul line. They had 18 points in the paint, 13 off of turnovers and got the bench

involved with nine points.

UNI finished the first half of play with a tip-in shot by Klint Carlson with only two seconds left to begin halftime with a 28-41 lead.

Both teams came into the second half strong with buckets coming from each end of the court.

The Bulldogs cut the Panthers’ lead to eight with 14:24 left to play, but Jesperson and Matt Bohannon teamed up for eight points, increasing the Panther lead, 56-42.

With 4:44 left to play, UNI’s lead grew to 72-54 thanks to the Panthers’ 7-9 free-throw shooting. Drake

could not get their shots to fall in the second half as they shot 13-29 from the field, and the Panthers took advantage.

The final bucket of the night came from Wyatt Lohaus three assisted by Carlson. Jesperson was deadly from all around the court as he led the team with 21 points. He shot 5-9 from the three-point spot and 8-13 from the field altogether.

The Panthers’ next game will be at home against Missouri State on Wednesday, Feb. 10. Missouri State has a 10-14 overall record and just recently came off an 83-64 loss against Evansville.

WRESTLING

Five wrestlers earn victories; Panthers drop both meets over weekend

against ISU’s Kyle Larson, Peters started back in the first period but came back with two escapes and an aggressive takedown in the second, tying Larson, 5-5. Another two takedowns in the third period kept the crowd on their feet as Peters locked out his opponent for a 9-7 victory.

Peters took his second victory over Kent State’s Del Vinas the following night. His 15-6 major decision came from his three takedowns in the first period and ended the last two minutes of riding time over Vinas.

yet another takedown with riding time—finishing with a 14-4 major decision over Rodriguez.

“I mean, how can you not smile when you hear that name,” said head coach Doug Schwab about Perrin. “He’s just a kid that can do whatever he can for the team.”

Another hard-earned victory against ISU came from UNI’s Bryce Steiert in the 157lb. division. Starting back in the first period, Steiert rallied against Cyclone Ronaldo RodriguezSpencer with a takedown and near fall at 33 seconds. Gaining traction, Steiert fought through the third—notching another takedown with 31 seconds remaining and won, 16-12.

“There’s something about knowing the more tired I can get myself, the more tired I can get him to be,” Steiert said. “I know that if I’m super tired, that guy better not be able to walk.”

In a tight matchup in the 165lb. weight class, Cooper Moore secured his victory over ISU’s Tanner Weatherman in the fourth period after a 1-1 tie in the first three periods.

Initially, no points were earned, but upon further review, Moore was awarded a takedown, finishing, 3-1, over Weatherman.

Heavyweight Blaize Cabell stood his ground this weekend, earning victories against both ISU and KSU. Taking down Cyclone Marcus Harrington twice in the first period, Cabell moved into a stagnant second period—only to erupt with two more takedowns in the third.

Finishing 9-4 over Harrington and 9-6 over Kent State’s Stephen Suglio, senior Cabell now stands 16-6 this season, wrestling his last meet at home after four years of service to the UNI wrestling team.
