After an impressive turnaround season, the UNI men’s basketball team’s NCAA tournament Cinderella story came to an end March 20.

The Panthers lost to Texas A&M after beating the Texas Longhorns in the final seconds. Both games featured unusual endings.

Paul Jesperson, No. 4, sank a half-court buzzer-beater to first defeat Texas, 75-72.

The Panthers lost to Texas A&M, 92-88, despite having a 10-point lead with 30 seconds

remainingpropelling the contest into two overtimes.

UNI VS. TEXAS

At Chesapeake Arena in Oklahoma City, 15,279 screaming fans flooded the scene to watch Northern Iowa (23-12) take on the No. 6 seed Texas Longhorns (20-13) for the first round of the championship.

“I was sleeping one night and I rolled over and she was just staring at me. Like wide awake, just staring at me.

That creeped me out.”

This elementary early childhood education major (name withheld to protect privacy) is just one of many UNI students who have run into roommate problems during their time in college.

“I wasn’t allowed to have lights on in the room,” she said. “I wasn’t allowed to blow dry my hair if she was sleeping; I wasn’t allowed to have friends over.”

At the start of the game, Texas fans were excited as their Longhorns opened with a 9-2 run in the first three minutes of the game.

After a large group substitution for Texas, Klint Carlson scored from deep and then from the field to cut the lead to 11-9.

See MEN’S BB, page 6

This roommate also intimidated her so much that she did not want to confront her because she was physically and emotionally scared of her roommate.

She ended up moving out of the room at the end of the fall semester.

This student’s advice: “Just . . . move out. It can make your experience so much better if you have a good roommate.”

Most students will live with a roommate at least once while in college.

CF does it the roundabout way

JACOB MADDEN/Northern Iowan

Heavy road construction on University Avenue has recently gotten underway to build roundabouts in Cedar Falls.

JACOB MADDEN Staff Writer

University Avenue has recently been thrown into disarray, and many Cedar Falls residents and students have encountered heavy road construction due to the new University Avenue Reconstruction Project.

While the construction has only been under-

way since the beginning of March, the project itself has been in the works since as early as 2012.

University Avenue was dilapidated at the time, and the Cedar Falls City Council proposed four solutions, according to the office of the city clerk.

According to council meeting minutes, of these four options, the Iowa Department of

Today, we’ll looking back at some of the headlines this week in The Northern Iowan’s 124-year history: - March 27, 1942: To Grow Chin Spinach For Farmers’ Frolic...In order to generate more publicity for the Farmers’ Frolic, an annual dance sponsored jointly by the men’s dormitories, members of Baker and Seerley halls were encouraged to “let their hedges grow” - a euphemism to grow out their facial hair.

-March 25, 1977: Vonnegut...It was announced that Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., author of the acclaimed novel “Slaughterhouse-Five,” would be visiting UNI’s campus on March 31 and April 1 for a number of public appearances, including a lecture in the UNI Audiotorium.

-March 26, 1993: UNI Instructor Charged in Des Moines Sex Case...Alfred M. Pelham, former marketing instructor and director of UNI’s Small Business Development Center, was charged with the prostitution and exploitation of a minor.

Pelham was arrested at his Waterloo home, where authorities found at least one homemade video tape among more than 300 adult videos on sadism and torture. He was later found guilty and sentenced to 30 days in prison, as well as three years of probation.

NCAA tourney: a fanatic among press KATHERINE JAMTGAARD

Over spring break I had the opportunity to go to the NCAA Tournament and represent the Northern Iowan and the Odyssey Online on press row. I began playing with the idea after going to the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament with the Panther Pep Crew.

Talking with a head editor at the Odyssey, as well as Colin Mcdonough, assistant A.D. of Athletics Communications, I was put on the right track to apply for media credentials to officially represent the Northern Iowan and Odyssey.

In preparation to send in credentials, I immediately went to work building a better foundation of sports articles connected to my name so if the NCAA googled me they’d see my sports articles.

This drove me to get in touch with UNI basketball alums Seth Tuttle and — the legend — Ali Farokhmanesh, as well as land a second interview with members of the current team. Everyone was very cooperative and willing to help.

Within a week my Odyssey articles about the basketball and the men’s team exploded from two to seven, including features on “the UNI Alum of March Madness” (Tuttle and Farokhmanesh).

Since I had experienced all UNI games solely from the Pep Crew perspective, this was completely new to me.

Of course, I had interviewed most of team for Odyssey stories, but those were casual and after practice interviews. This was the big leagues.

I’m pretty sure I was the youngest one there, a freshly turned 21-year-old among recent college grads and media veterans. And I was probably one of the unique ones there, walking in with flower crown on my head. Of course, that got a lot of questions from the other media personnel as well as the people that were Chesapeake Energy Arena workers, and I didn’t mind.

Having NCAA media credentials opened my eyes to everything that goes on on the media side.

The media area was stocked with crisp media guides, conference guides, brackets, game summaries, play-by-plays, programs, and press conference quotes. It was any reporter’s dream. Plus, there was food.

I came home with a solid stack of paper solely from the UNI games with stats, game books, conference yearbooks and the like.

With floor access, this was the closest I had ever sat at a UNI game. It was even closer than standing in front row

with bibs and flower crown on. And no one was blocking my view of the court.

For the UNI vs. Texas game, I was seated on press row with Panther fans behind me and the Panther bench before me. And, though I wasn’t supposed to cheer, there was a woman behind me who cheered loud enough that I felt like she was cheering on my behalf.

It was difficult for me to not revert into natural Pep Crew mode and stay relatively quiet during the game. Of course, that all went to hell when Paul Jesperson made the game winning shot. I openly screamed on press row and almost jumped out of my seat.

For the UNI vs. Texas

This week I attended the first talk in a lecture series titled, “Everyday Creativity,” which is part of the capstone “Creativity and Evolution of Culture” as well as being open to the public.

The first speaker in the series was Dave Gould, who works for the Obermann Graduate Institute at University of Iowa. The course Gould teaches most often at University of Iowa is Life Design: Building Your Future.

Gould discovered that many university students were getting to the end of their undergraduate careers and having two basic outcomes.

One group was only in college to earn a degree and

get a job. The other group was looking for something else.

Repeatedly, he would have good students, caring, conscientious young people come into his office and ask “Why am I here?” This linked to the concern the administrators at his university were having about the low retention rate of students.

If the best and brightest can’t figure out why they are in college, there is a systemic problem in the way education is being approached.

In response to falling retention rates and students’ wondering about the purpose of a university education, Gould wanted to show his students how a university education can help you learn what you’re good at and help you use that to solve problems for society.

Gould believes in removing the carrot-and-stick model of grading and punitive attendance policies in order to motivate students

to succeed because they care, not from fear. He believes that 20-somethings can be trusted as leaders and treated like creative, passionate, responsible adults.

As I listened to Gould talk about his hopes for young people today and for the ways in which we will benefit human society as a whole, I wish I had been in a section of his Life Design class as a freshman.

Much of what Gould talks about is how to create a life of meaning and purpose by following your passion. While I eventually got to that point, it took me four majors and five years to get there.

The question surrounding the purpose of a liberal arts university education is not going away, and I urge you to keep asking it until you reach a satisfying conclusion.

Rather than going through the motions of LAC courses and checking off boxes on your major

Staff writer Jamtgaard reflects on the experience of being in the trenches as credentialed press covering the NCAA men’s basketball tourney.

A&M game, I had a better idea of what I was doing. I was more composed, which may or may not have been because of the fact that I had been seated right behind the TV commentators (and was on TV).

When I did get the urge to cheer or comment on something, I took to Twitter. But just because I was on press row didn’t mean I didn’t feel all the emotions a UNI game invokes.

It was almost worse, those feelings of intensity, anxiety, belief, because the fans weren’t directly around me to share it, I was on my own and I had to stay composed.

Aside from the floor access, I had access to the press con-

ferences and locker room interviews. Though I didn’t conduct any locker room interviews, I attended both conferences.

Friday’s conference was filled with joy and disbelief and assurance. It was almost like Coach Jacobson, Paul Jesperson, Wes Washpun and Jeremy Morgan were simply glowing. They had made the miracle shot, they were dancing another day.

Sunday’s, on the other hand, was filled with sadness and it was very difficult to watch Coach Jacobson, Jesperson, Matt Bohannon and Washpun on Sunday. The entire team, staff and players, had worked so hard, and now it was over, and you could tell they were brokenhearted. My heart broke for them.

Even so, in both conferences, the men handled themselves with dignity and grace.

They set a wonderful example in joy and in sadness.

This was probably the biggest opportunity of my life and I enjoyed every minute of it. But it wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for the basketball team making it into the NCAA Tournament in the first place, the editors at the Odyssey and my friends encouraging me to apply for credentials in the first place (and encouraging me through < See FANATIC, page 5

In 2008, found footage horror film “Cloverfield” hit theaters. Its unique brand of storytelling and throwback to old kaiju movies earned itself solid reviews from critics and audiences alike. 2016 brings its spiritual successor, “10 Cloverfield Lane.”

There is no connection between the two, other than the fact that they bear the same name and contain a similar tone and plot elements of intense thrills and mystery. And that’s all I’ll say about the details of this movie. Only one trailer was ever released, and it shows just enough to get the basic story across.

The limited advertising this movie has gotten is a prime example on how to

promote a movie.

Nowadays, we have multiple trailers for the same movie, showing an amalgamation of the same scenes mixed in with new ones.

More often than not, this completely ruins the movie, either by showing all of the funny parts or giving away half the plot, so by the time you watch the movie, there’s hardly any surprise left.

The three leads are perfectly cast and committed to their roles. Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Michelle is extremely likeable and a great character for the audience to root for.

John Gallagher Jr. as Emmett DeWitt is a lovable comic relief offers some levity to the tension, but is fully capable of showing his acting skills when things get serious.

And finally, John Goodman is absolutely fan-

tastic as Howard Stambler, the retired veteran who shelters Michelle and Emmett from danger.

Go check out the trailer and you’ll see just how perfect it is. Or better yet, go into this movie completely oblivious. You’ll enjoy it more. I guarantee. With as much tension and plot twists as this movie contains inside its tightly packed setting, “10 Cloverfield Lane” is a heart-pounding thrill ride.

With excellent writing and sharp, masterful cinematography, “10 Cloverfield Lane” is the second movie in the possible Cloverfield franchise. If future movies in the series are planned out and worked on as extensively as the first two, I say keep them coming.

ROOMMATES

continued from page 1

While sometimes a good relationship can be started, others may find their roommates difficult.

For some, however, their roommates can be an absolute horror.

A sophomore psychology major remembers the time she lived with a roommate that was incompatible and controlling.

“Every time I would have people over . . . she would trash her side of the room,” she said. “Every time I was having a good day she would get pissed, and I basically wasn’t allowed to have a good day. She’d get jealous that I was having a good day.”

This roommate also made up drastic stories to cover up why she was truly upset.

“It started out as her friend having brain cancer and then changed to her friend having Leukemia and was going to die soon,” she said.

This student did stay the entire school year with this roommate, but she wished that she would have left the situation sooner.

Her advice to others isto confront the problem the f irst time, and that if someone is unhappy, do not stay as long as she did.

These situations are not restricted to dorm rooms, as students experience bad roommates off campus as well.

He, along with his other two roommates, needed a subleaser and one of his roommates found this new roommate via Facebook.

“She didn’t pay rent, she never signed the lease,” he said. “She was late on utilities every month.”

However, there was one incident that drew the line for him and his roommates.

“I turn the garbage disposal on and her shot glasses [were] in the garbage disposal. I know it was her because I did the dishes before I left [for Thanksgiving break],” he said. “She was the only one there that week. It ruined the whole garbage disposal, and she totally denied it.”

Not too long after this he, his roommates and the landlord wanted her out of the house. A few weeks after winter break, she gathered her things and left.

“Take action right away,” he said. “I would say talk to the roommate f irst to try and resolve the problem.”

Nick Rafanello, the director of Residence Life, explained how the Department of Residence (DOR) hear incidences like these a handful of times per month.

“We usually encourage our residents to talk with their RA f irst,” Rafanello said. “The RA will [then] work with their Residence Life Coordinator.”

Students at UNI recall difficult experiences with roommates, ranging from drastic, made-up stories to leaving a shot glass in the garbage disposal.

In terms of students wanting to move away from a roommate, it depends on what is available at the time.

“We really try to work with the student to make sure that they are content, happy with where they want to go to,” Rafanello said.

According to Rafanello, the DOR is committed to working with a student until they are able to help f ind a living situation that meets their needs.

“Roommate conf licts and challenges will always come about in different ways,” Rafanello said. “So we work our best to make sure students enjoy where they are living and are comfortable.”

For students who live of f- campus, there are resources and ways to resolve roommate conf licts as well.

did Seth Tuttle and Paul Jesperson and other UNI basketball players.

I could say that I’ve been blessed to have my own “one shining moment” as a college student with NCAA credentials, covering the men of the UNI basketball team’s shining moments.

My experience was definitely different than the experiences the other press people had. I felt that, as a student that attends the University of Northern Iowa — and sees the team on campus, that goes to games with the Pep Crew, that covers things for the

student paper — I was impacted more by the emotions of the team and the fans, instead of being stoic, simply performing a job.

Overall this semester I have been impacted by UNI Athletics, through my internship with the football team and cheering for athletics with the Pep Crew, but I could feel it the most down in Oklahoma City in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

It made me proud to wear purple and gold, to be a Panther and to go to the University of Nothing Impossible (UNI).

and new or current residents have until April 1 to tell management if they do not want to live with who they have been assigned.

Behrens-Arndt gave her advice when it comes to messy, loud or inconsiderate roommates, “People forget the power of apologizing for something,” Behrens -Arndt said. “Everybody does stuff wrong, and they need to be able to say sorry and that they are wrong and correct a situation when they do.”

If you are having trouble with a roommate, remembering that communication and leaving a situation before it leaves those involved unhappy are important, according to some students.

For support, staying in touch with your RA, RLC or landlord is recommended Behrens-Arndt.

Panthers send four wrestlers to NCAA championship, Peters finishes sixth ZACH HUNTLEY Sports Writer

As the 2016 wrestling season comes to a close, the Panthers improve in overall NCAA rankings, in addition to junior Dylan Peters finishing sixth in the nation.

For the second time in his three-year career as a Panther wrestler, 125 lb. Dylan Peters brought home All-American honors thanks to a sixth place victory from the NCAA Championships. Peters has competed in the champion-

ships all three years.

Starting off his race for the title, Peters won two matches in the regular bracket, including a 3-1 decision in a tiebreaker against No. 8 Barlow McGhee of Mizzouri.

Pushing forward for third place, Peters defeated No. 14 Joshua Rodriquez of North Dakota State University by a 2:26 fall.

Moving into his final match of the season, Peters took on Ryan Millhof of Ohio University. For his fastest fall of the season, Peters pinned

the No. 5-ranked Millhof in 1:03.

Due to an injury, Peters forfeited his last two matches of the championships, leaving him to finish sixth overall in the NCAA. Peters has earned his place as the 33rd Panther to earn at least two All-American honors within their time as a UNI athlete.

Four Panthers competed in the NCAA Championships, two of which defeated nationally ranked competitors in their respective weight class-

es, including Peters.

157 lb. Bryce Steiert made his first appearance at the NCAA Championships as a freshman and clinched three victories before he fell to the No. 6 ranked Joseph Smith of Oklahoma State.

Steiert’s first victory came from a 7-2 decision over Spartak Chino of Ohio State.

As an a nationally unranked competitor, Steiert defeated Central Michigan’s No. 11 Luke Smith in a 4-1 decision.

Moving into the wrestlebacks, Steiert earned anoth-

er victory before falling to Nebraska’s Tyler Berger.

Panther Cooper Moore made yet another appearance to the NCAA Championships this year. After earning a 9-4 decision over Mitchell Wightman in the 165 lb. bracket, Moore fell to No. 14 David McFadden of Virginia Tech.

UNI improved from the previous year’s standings.

Finishing 34th in 2015, the Panthers advanced to 25th out of the 72 teams in the NCAA wrestling pool.

OPINION

Panthers feed off the madness, end season with class RYAN HERRING

Sports Columnist

March Madness: when teams experience the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. For the UNI Panthers, they experienced both ends of the spectrum within 48 hours.

Friday night, the Panthers knocked off a really good Texas team with a half-court buzzer beater from Paul Jesperson.

That is arguably the greatest shot in March Madness history.

Then just two days later, we all know what happened in that tough loss to Texas A&M. All I will say about that game is that both teams fought their tails off. Texas A&M fought hard to make a great comeback.

UNI fought through injuries, foul trouble and adversity until the final buzzer sounded. Both teams fought and never gave up. As college basketball fans, we should all respect that. As for UNI, fighting and toughness were the themes of the season.

With great coaching, great senior leadership and a lot of hard work, the 2015-2016 UNI

After the 10-minute mark, the Panthers maintained control until halftime with a 44-36 lead.

“What a game, huh?” said

Panthers had one of the best turnaround seasons anyone could ever ask for.

On Jan. 23, 2016, the Panthers suffered their fourth straight loss and were sitting with a 10-11 record, beginning conference play, 2-6. But everyone knew this team was so much better than their record showed.

This 10-11 team was the same group of guys that beat No. 1 ranked North Carolina and No. 5 ranked Iowa State. The team could’ve easily folded and gave up on the year, but instead they came closer than ever to turn it around.

They finished the regular season by winning nine of their last 10 games (including a road win at Wichita St. snapping their 43-game home win streak).

Then they carried that momentum with them to St. Louis where they beat Southern Illinois, Wichita St. and Evansville to punch their ticket to the big dance. Each of these games came down to the wire, but UNI dug deep and pulled out the win every time.

Wes Washpun hit the

game-winner at the buzzer in the MVC Championship game to secure the trophy for the second straight year. Just when you think it can’t get any better, it does.

The Panthers were matched up against the Texas Longhorns in Oklahoma City for the first round of the NCAA Tournament, and we are blessed with another game that come down to the wire.

Right after Texas made a bucket to tie the game up with under five seconds left, Paul Jesperson answered with a game-winning half-court shot at the buzzer.

Talk about a tough, resilient, determined bunch of guys that played their hearts out to get to where nobody thought they could be -- winning a NCAA Tournament game on the national stage in dramatic fashion.

Looking at the season as a UNI fan, you have two options.

Paul Jesperson said it perfectly in his interview with Russillo & Kanell on “ESPN Radio.”

“I can either look at a terrible 40 seconds that we had,”

Jesperson said. “Or I can remember an incredible six- to eightweek journey that we went on, and all the things that we had to overcome and all the things that we went through to get us to the position we were in. A great position to be in the Sweet 16. I chose to remember that six- to

head coach Ben Jacobson. “In the first half, that middle ten minutes of the first half we played great. I don’t know that we could have played a whole lot better during that stretch, as we knew going in. […]

The second half we just had to fight. Texas played great, and we had to fight and fight and fight because we weren’t playing great. As we’ve done, we did. We were able to get a couple stops, so great game. I suppose we got a little lucky at the end, right?”

Conceding a well-contested second half of play, UNI found themselves tied, 72-72, with just three seconds to go.

Jesperson got the ball quickly and dribbled up-court with two Longhorns closely guarding him.

As the final seconds ticked away, Jesperson fired from half court and banked in the buzzer-beater to win the game, 75-72.

“I can’t say I’ve shot that shot in a long time,” Jesperson said.

“We used to mess around before practice a little bit and shoot those, but I don’t think we’ve shot one of those this year. […] just happy it went in.”

UNI vs. Texas A&M UNI’s next opponent was No. 3 seed Texas A&M (28-8) in a

very lengthy contest that progressed all the way into double overtime.

Though a trip to the Sweet 16 seemed locked in with 44 seconds to go, the Panthers began to lose control of the game. Matt Bohannon left for a bit due to injury.

“It felt like were a minute away from dancing,” Jesperson said. “Texas A&M made some great—they had some great individual plays.”

Within those 44 seconds the Aggies managed to tie up the game at 71 all, sending the game into overtime.

“We had all the odds against us the last 30 seconds of regulation and overtime but these guys never gave up,” Lohaus said.

Fighting through a first overtime, UNI had the lead, 83-81, until there was 0:06 left and the Aggies sunk a jumper that tied the game 83 to 83, sending the game into double overtime.

eight-week journey.”

So go ahead and take your pick.

I know I’m going to remember it for the special season it was, lead by three amazing seniors: Matt Bohannon, Paul Jesperson, and Wes Washpun. Three of the classiest guys you will ever meet.

This was the last chance for them to win a national championship.

“It was just a wide range of emotions,” said Matt Bohannon.

“And we just couldn’t have been prouder to be with Paul and Wes here and understand what we did this season and what we showed the country and how we understand that we should be moving on.”

The Panthers ultimately lost to the Aggies with a final score of 92-88.

Now that this year’s NCAA run is over, the Panthers are 5-8 for their all-time tournament record.

“We played our tails off,” said Jacobson on the loss, “and unfortunately we were on the wrong side of just a crazy 30 seconds.”

A video from ESPN praised the Panthers’ miracle-filled season. The video stated that UNI had encompassed everything that March Madness is.

And even though they are not playing, they are showing other teams how to win and lose with dignity and grace.
