Popular music songs were sung and world records were broken at the 2016 Homecoming Royalty competition last Tuesday night.

Audience members f illed the Union Ballroom quickly and hundreds of students sat shoulder to shoulder awaiting the participants to take center stage.

The king candidates this year were: junior criminology major, Dylan Merritt; sophomore real estate, theatre performance and finan-

cial management majors, Brynjar Johnston; sophomore deciding major, Dan Happel; junior advertising and digital media marketing, and public relations majors, Trevor Rayhons and junior interactive and digital studies major, Tim Scheve.

The queen candidates were: junior elementary education major, Sadie Backoff; sophomore public relations major, Alexis Scharfenkamp; junior social work major, Liz Fitzgerald; senior social work and human resources majors, Keely Branstad and senior public relations major, Kayla Kearns.

The competition kicked off with a question portion, where each contestant was asked one funny and one serious question. Just to name a few: Merritt shared that he would be a ferret if he could choose to be any animal; Happel would bottle up Morgan Freeman’s voice; Scheve would establish a world record in petting the most number of dogs that were simultaneously petting other dogs.

After the audience got to know each contestant a little better, the competition moved onto the talent portion where Merritt

kicked the night off with an impressive ribbon twirling routine. Another memorable performance was that of Johnston, who performed a comical lip sync routine to songs popular pop songs like “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus, “Me Too” by Meghan Trainor and “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton.

Scharfenkamp’s rap called, “Blackalicious’ Alphabet Aerobics” and Happel’s cover song of “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz had the entire crowd clapping and singing along.

Ginger’s Pub was severely damaged during the efforts to put out the fire that destroyed Great Wall Chinese Restaurant back in April.

The owners of Ginger’s Pub had since bought out the lease for Beck’s former location.

Instead of re-opening Ginger’s Pub at this new site, the owners opted to start a completely new brand.

Dehmlow explained that part of the idea behind Little Big’s was that if someone wants to come in to order food or have some food while drinking, they can come in as a group and get bigger portions of all menu items to split.

Dehmlow believes doing this will make it more affordable for college students.

“We’re going to be unapologetically, first and foremost, a college bar,” Dehmlow said.

media program to undergo these changes. Martin had served as communication studies department head for about six years before this fall semester.

Paul Torre, a communication studies professor who specializes in media leadership, explained the reasoning behind bringing journalism into the program at the start of this process.

“It was about two years ago,” Torre said. “The faculty, the professors in these areas, got together, and part of the goal was to create a journalism emphasis – it was just a minor before. And in order to make that happen, it couldn’t really be a freestanding area within the department of communication studies. It had to be part of a group.”

Torre also explained the overall name change from electronic media to digital media.

“Digital is a very broad kind of term. We interpret it very broadly to mean every way in which the media is now digitally transmitted and captured,” Torre said. “That was a lot of the emphasis – kind of updating the name to reflect the new reality that’s been around for a while.

“But it’s just a more current title for the program. And so what we did then was basically recognizing a lot of the changes that the program had already been undergoing as far as focusing not just on traditional media, but also creating content for the web.”

The bar will offer 20 beers on tap, as well as a limited food menu that is still being finalized. It will feature about 12 items offered in a vari-

ety of sizes and styles. Some items include different types of nachos, burgers and wings with an assortment of sauces.

There will also be vegetarian options, as well as a limited dessert menu.

“We are going to have our own soft serve ice cream machine, and so we will be doing some different shakes and malts and things like that,” Dehmlow said.

Little Big’s will be open

at 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and at 11 a.m. on Saturdays. Minors will be allowed in on Wednesdays and Thursdays and early in the evening on Fridays and Saturdays. The bar will offer live music, karaoke, dancing and events almost nightly.

Little Big’s is currently hiring for all positions. While there is no set opening date, the new bar is confirmed to open sometime this month.

formance major, praised the program’s new name change because of both its succinctness and inclusiveness.

“It’s also good because it’s suitably all-encompassing and kind of broad like digital media, in general, is,” Fisher said. “Digital media encompasses video, audio, performance, drama, social media – it encompasses so much now, and it’s a good name for it.”

All three emphases under the digital media program will have one internship requirement in order for students to graduate. While this is a first for the new journalism emphasis, Martin said the original two emphases had already required an internship.

“Electronic media has always had an internship requirement as well, and that’s never been a problem,” Martin said. “We’ve had a lot of students be incredibly successful over the years in electronic media and also in all areas, actually – in production, in leadership. We’ve had some students in the former minor

in journalism actually do internships as well.”

Siddens said he supports the internship requirement for a number of reasons.

“I always advise people to do internships even [if] it’s not required because, first of all, it’s a networking opportunity,” Siddens said. “Second of all, it gets you professional experience. And then third, […] you get to see how the wheels turn in your particular area that you’re interested in.”

Johnathan Carpenter, junior digital media production and performance major, agreed that the internship requirement, while challenging, is necessary for succeeding in the industry.

“I think it’s a little stressful having a required internship,” Carpenter said. “But I think it is also very important that we do get the field experience […] Getting out and meeting people and trying out internships at different work places – that’s how you get a feel for how things are and figure out where you want to work.”

FAFSA changes filing dates SYDNEY KUNZ Staff Writer

Two major changes have been made to the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) that will take effect for the 2017-18 academic year. Students and their families will now be able to submit their FAFSA application sooner and will also be able to use their prior-prior year’s taxes, rather than current year information.

However, there is no change to the current academic year’s FAFSA. The earliest date for submission for the 2016-17 academic year is Jan. 15, the same date for all scholarship applications through UNI. The 2017-18 FAFSA application will open on Oct. 1, 2016, rather than on Jan. 1, as in prior years. This date change will be permanent for subsequent academic years, as will be the ability to submit earlier tax information. For example, next year’s FAFSA application will require students to again use their tax information from the year 2015, while the following academic year’s application will use 2016 tax information.

Tim Bakula, UNI associate director of financial aid, said UNI’s financial aid department has little worries about the changes to the FAFSA application.

“The application will prompt students and their families for the appropriate tax year’s information,” Bakula said. “A benefit to the prior-prior year information is that within the FAFSA there is a data retrieval tool for the IRS, and this makes it much easier for students to take that information and import it right into their FAFSA to give the most accurate information possible.”

Some students have not heard about these major changes to the FAFSA application. Lyric Tracy, senior English major, said she just recently found out about the changes.

“I just learned about the October 1 date change,” Tracey said. “I didn’t know it was a change, actually. I’m not sure if it’ll be a positive change or not yet because I think it might be too early to tell.”

An email was sent out by UNI to all students to address these changes. However,

students still may not have received the information change due to a high volume of emails. This was the case with Paige Plaskitt, senior communication and public relations major. “[I] didn’t know about the switch – that info was definitely lost in the shuffle of excessive emails,” Plaskitt said.

Michaela Squires, a junior finance management major, said she was also unaware of the changes, citing a high volume of e-mails.

“I didn’t know about these changes. I probably did get an email, but I probably deleted it,” Squires said. “The only concern I have is why aren’t they going to be using current tax information? [...] I think they should get rid of putting your parents’ tax information on there because I haven’t lived with my parents for two years, and they don’t help me pay for school. So why should I have to put their information down?”

Bakula said the goal is not just for more accurate information, but also for an easier application process, as students and their families will now have more time to file

Starting for the 2017-18 academic year, students and their families will now be able to submit their FAFSA application at an earlier date and also use their prior-prior year’s tax information.

Racist incident reported NICK FISHER

Executive Editor

A black UNI student has accused an apparent former member of the UNI track team of using a racial slur against her.

The student tweeted the accusation with a picture of the accused taken from the 2016-2017 track roster. The tweet was posted at 2:35 a.m.

Friday morning.

“Tonight he called me a nigga, literally spat at my face and said ‘go back to where you came from,’” the tweet

reads.

University Relations sent an email to students Friday afternoon saying the alleged incident occurred off-campus.

“Inquiries are currently being made in response to the incident, and we ask that you respect the process as the proper authorities work to address the situation,” read the statement.

The accused student’s name appeared on a roster as late as Saturday, but the UNI athletic department said in a tweet that he had not been on the team since July.

The athletic department said it “does not condone this type of behavior.”

The Des Moines Register reported that UNI’s bias response team will be meeting to discuss the incident and how to respond. The team is made up of 14 members.

Northern Iowa Student Government diversity director Melanie Majeed, a member of the team, didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The two students involved did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

their FAFSA information.

The financial aid department holds programs throughout the academic year to assist students and their families in filing the FAFSA application if needed. Bakula encouraged students and parents to visit the financial aid department if they have questions about the new changes to the FAFSA

application process.

“We offer free assistance in completing the application,” Bakula said. “Never pay for any assistance in doing the application – the financial aid department can help you for free, and we offer different workshops and programs throughout the academic year available to students.”

“But then, we decided that I would come down this weekend. And it just kind of hit me probably a month ago that Friday night is Campaniling, and we Campaniled last year.

So it just felt like it would be a good place and a good time because it was my first homecoming as an alum, and that’s one of the traditions.”

Meyer also said the timing worked out with the completion of the engagement ring.

Hill said she was surprised to see members of both their families at the Campanile.

“I kept turning around and seeing all these people,” Hill said. “I saw my sister, I just hugged her, and then I started crying even more. I’d see different people, like even some of his friends that I knew of but I haven’t met yet.

I was just hugging everyone.

And it was just crazy. And then I looked at [the ring], and it fits perfectly. It’s just perfect. I’m just in shock and super happy.”

Meyer explained that he had invited at least 20 people to the Campanile, including family members and close friends.

Hill and Meyer are planning on getting married in June 2017, two years after they first met.

Shocking proposal News Editor

Love was in the air as UNI students gathered around the Campanile to kiss that special someone at the stroke of midnight this past Friday night. While many students obtained a smooch as a result of the age-old Homecoming tradition, one couple in particular left with so much more.

“So we’re standing there at the Campanile, and he’s holding my hands and a lot of people are starting to kiss around us at midnight,” said Alexis Hill, senior communication studies major. “And then he just goes, ‘Will you marry me?’ And I just instantly started crying – ugly crying. Like I cried so much that night that my contacts got messed up and I had to take them out. It was so bad. And then he kissed me.”

Hill got engaged to Mason Meyer, who graduated from UNI this past May with a bachelor’s degree in music education. According to Meyer, the two of them started dating in the middle of June 2015 after meeting each other through mutual friends.

After graduating, Meyer had moved to Minnesota, where he received his first teaching job. Meyer said he had been planning to propose for several months but had not had a proper opportunity to do so until this weekend.

“I knew I wanted to propose, like as a solid thought, in May of this year, and I was just trying to figure out how to do it,” Meyer said. “I had lots of different plans.

VOLUME 113, ISSUE 11

What phrase or point of discussion from the presidential debate stood out to you and why?

For a half-century, the Democrat Party (and progressives, broadly) has consistently maintained majority (in many cases, unitary) control over our largest, most influential cities. It is they who have overseen the plight(s) of racial minorities, particularly blacks. It is they who have failed the black community regarding

the prevalence of violent crime, the absence of gainful employment, the maintenance of urban infrastructure (see Flint) and many other issues.

They have done (or not done) all this while decrying the lack of progress towards racial equity and blaming their political opponents for it. Now, the 2016 GOP presidential nominee speaks to the black community openly and honestly (a party rarity) about their hardships, points out the fact that they have been voting for the same party again and again while expecting different results, and offers himself and his party as an alternative to consider. This is met

by Secretary Clinton and her party with, not a “Welcome

to the table, let’s talk,” but something akin to, “Oh, silly Donald, blacks don’t have it that bad in America!”

By chastising Trump like this, Clinton has unwittingly given away the game.

Democrats and progressives are secondarily interested in advancing the black community. Their primary interest, rather, is political power, and achieving it by using legitimate (and illegitimate) grievances to manipulate the black community into voting for them.

A bombastic businessman managed to trick the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee into tacitly admitting this all during the most watched election debate in television history.

What a time to be alive.

Despite the severe apathy I feel toward the remaining presidential candidates, I watched the first debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on Monday night. My expectations were low. I didn’t anticipate hearing anything new, considering the election is just over a month away and they’ve had more than a year to say what they needed to say.

But this didn’t keep my ears from perking up when Lester Holt posed the question, “Do you believe that police are implicitly biased against black people?” first

to Secretary Clinton.

This particular issue and other issues relating to racial inequality are important to me and are arguably among the most pressing topics in this entire election cycle. In that split-second between the question’s delivery and Hillary’s response, I abandoned my apathy and mustered up every remaining bit of hope and faith that I had and I placed it with her.

I thought she could really impress me with this answer.

I mean, it’s a yes-or-no question, right? All she has to do is say “Yes” and back it up with what’s going on in the criminal justice system.

“Lester, I think that implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police,” Clinton said.

And with that I returned

back to my solemn state of being thoroughly unimpressed and bored with the Democratic candidate – a candidate that seems never to delve too far into an answer that might upset her conservative Democrat voter base.

While the statement she provided is something I agree with, the answer was lame and did not vehemently address a problem that so desperately plagues the concerns and bodies of American people. What this answer did was distract from the core issue at hand – police brutality at the expense of black men and women.

She undermined the problem by giving police a break and applying the issue of implicit bias to all people.

Hillary Clinton: “It’s really unfortunate that [Trump] paints such a dire, negative picture of Black communities in our country.”

Donald Trump: ‘Wrong!’ ‘Wrong!’

‘Wrong!’

While there are no amount of words to suffice my reaction to the debate, I can say that I was not surprised by the candidate’s performance.

Throughout the night, I could not help but both snicker and shake my head as time and time again we heard, “Wrong!” being professed by Donald Trump. Apart from

a presidential candidate giving such a puerile response to Hillary Clinton and mediator, Lester Holt, this declaration gets us nowhere. Even if he was objecting to an inaccuarte statment by Clinon, declaring its fallaciousness without further providing an alternative is pointless.

It is evident by his eager inclination to assign guilt and simply point out flaws, that he is not worthy of leading this nation. Our president needs to have the ability to not only identify the problem, but to solve it through constructive means.

As the face of America, the President of the United States requires a particular decorum, especially when addressing leaders of other nations. I am quite certain Trump would not only embarrass Americans, but also endanger us with his flippant demeanor.

If Trump doesn’t soon drop the balderdash and start offering up some real answers, I should hope that voters finally come to realize he is simply not fit. (Or should I say he doesn’t have “The Look?”)

If you take away his adjectives, he is nothing. He provides broadly stated agendas and walks his way around topics that he knows nothing about.

Choosing Donald Trump as president would be, to put it unintelligently, “Wrong!”

There was never a point in time where the possibility of voting for Trump was on my radar, but it wasn’t for the same reasons the media often mentions.

To be quite honest, I am not particularly concerned with the past couple presidential debates or the upcoming ones. This 2016 election, although pivotal, has forced me into a corner of indecision – there is no clear choice.

Students danced over to Panther Street in Maucker Union last Wednesday night to let the good times roll with friends, food and entertainment galore, held by the Campus Activities Board (CAB).

The event was Bourbon-Street themed, to align with the Homecoming theme of masquerade.

Upon arrival to the event, students saw the company, Liquid Motion’s, return to campus as they tossed up flavored mocktails. The company is a freelance business that creates non-alchoholic mixed drinks while incorporating flipping while mixing.

The event also had various entertainers inside, such as a balloon artist who created a large octopus to sit atop an attendee as she walked around the room.

A magician circulated the room as well, shocking people who couldn’t decide how he completed his magic tricks and illusions.

Students could also participate in various craft activities, such as designing and decorating their own mask to sport througout the night.

UNI Traditions challenges you Staff Writer

Twenty three teams competed head-to-head to mark off the most items from UNI’s Traditions Challenge during Homecoming Week on Wednesday evening. Each team received a picture clue, which led them to said tradition.

“When the UNI CATS decided to put together the Traditions program they wanted a fun way for students to check off [...] 6 to 8 traditions during homecoming,” said Connie Hansen, Student Organizations Coordinator. “At the time the [television show] ‘Amazing Race’ was popular, and after brainstorming for several hours, [the students] came up with our own version of the race.”

According to Amazing Race’s website, last year’s first and third place winners were Camp Adventure, and the RA’s of Dancer Hall took home second place. This year, Student Admissions Ambassadors (SAA) took both first and second place, with Camp Adventure following in third.

Olivia Willoughby, a sophomore biology major, competed with Camp Adventure.

Last year, Camp Adventure took both first and third place, with the RA’s of Dancer Hall taking home second. This year, Student Admissions Ambassadors (SAA) took first and second, with Camp Adventure in third.

Competing is not only a way for students to complete some tradition challenges, but they also get more involved within their organizations.

Students had to complete nine traditions, including: Visiting the greenhouse, going to Rod Library, eating at the Piazza Dining Center, Interlude Dance, attending women’s soccer, Campaniling, visiting Maucker Union, visiting the Wellness and Recreation Center and College Hill.

These are only nine of the traditions that students should complete before they graduate. However any student, even those who did not compete in Amazing Race, can partake in the traditions challenge.

UNI Alumni Association,

the traditions challenge sponsor, has a free application for smartphones that can be downloaded off of the App Store or Google Play called “UNI Traditions.”The app is a convenient way to submit photos for the challenge before they graduate.

For those without smartphones, or those who would prefer a hard copy of the challenge, the Commons has free copies of the Traditions Book.

Students who complete 25 traditions are eligible for a lapel pin to wear at graduation.

If students complete 45 traditions, they will wear a medallion at graduation.

All the information to complete UNI’s Traditions Challenge can be found on the traditions challenge website.

who cares about the issue from any side.

The debates may make for good dinner theater, and to some undecided voters it may help them come up with a conclusive decision. But for people with established political ideals, I’m afraid there’s nothing more this 2016 election can offer you.

VOLLEYBALL

‘Mixed bag’ weekend for volleyball BRENNAN WHISLER

Sports Writer

Homecoming weekend saw the UNI volleyball team split their two games 1-1. The Panthers lost on Friday to Missouri State by a set score of 24-26, 21-25, 25-20, 25-19 and 13-15.

The Panthers then quickly rebounded to defeat Wichita on Saturday, by a score of 20-25, 25-18, 25-23 and 25-22. This split put UNI’s overall record at 11-7, 2-3 in conference play.

Once again, UNI could not close out a five-set match — all three conference losses have come in the form of a five-setter.

The first set against the Bears of MSU saw back and forth action all the way until MSU scored on their second set point.

During the second set, MSU scored first — they never trailed and scored on their second set point again.

The next two sets were back-and-forth struggles early in the game, with UNI pulling away late to make the two set down comeback.

The final set saw an early Panther lead at 4-2 only to have the Bears come back 5-4. UNI tied it at 7-7, 12-12, and 13-13.

Senior Kayla Haneline tied the game at 13 all on the 1,000th kill of her career.

However, it was the last score for UNI on the night.

Sophomore Bri Weber fell one dig short of a 20-20 night with a 21 kill and 19 dig night.

UNI was finally able to beat a team above them in MVC. The Shockers of Wichita State were tied for first in conference and UNI was tied for second to last.

After the upset, WSU dropped and is tied for third while UNI rose to sixth just behind Missouri State.

The first set saw UNI

lead until a tie at 17, only to have WSU go on an 8-3 run to win their only set.

The second set had UNI jump out 12-5 and never gave ground in set. While the third set saw a 6-4 lead to the Shockers, UNI was able to fight back and edge them out.

The final set proved more challenging as UNI had to come back from a 15-12 deficit only to waste a 20-17.

With a tie at 21 all, UNI finished strong with a 4-1 run to win the match. Weber got her second straight night with exactly 20 kills.

Senior Amie Held had a good match with 15 kills and 16 digs. Senior Ashlee Sinnott secured her career high for digs with 21.

UNI will continue their home stand today as they take on Indiana State. It will be their last home game until an upcoming three-game road trip.

Panthers win first MVC matchup 42-21 RYAN NELSON Sports Writer

The UNI Panthers used a balanced offensive attack to lead them to a Homecoming victory on Saturday, with a final score of 42-21.

They were able to maintain a two-touchdown lead after trading touchdowns with Southern Illinois earlier in the second quarter.

In the final minutes of the opening half, UNI was able

to score not once, but twicefirst on an 18-yard pass to Daurice Fountain, then on a pick-six only twenty seconds later by Malcolm Washington. This put the UNI Panthers up 35-14 at the break.

In the second half, UNI was held more in check by the Saluki defense, only scoring in the fourth quarter on another pass to Fountain.

UNI’s offense was led by Bailey, who was 11 for 18 on completions and compiled 186 passing yards, 98 yards on the ground, threw for three touchdowns and punched one in on his own as well. Smith had 72 yards on the ground, and

Fountain was Bailey’s main target in the air, finishing with 89 yards and catching all three touchdown passes.

D e f e n s i ve ly, the Panthers were able to snatch a pair of Saluki passes. Duncan Ferch finished with an interception and a forced fumble, followed by Washington who returned his 43 yards for a touchdown. Jared Farley paced the UNI defense with nine tackles.

SOCCER

Women’s soccer falls to Evansville, 3-1 KEVIN DEITRICK Sports Writer

On October 2, the UNI women’s soccer team traveled to Evansville to take on the Purple Aces. The Panthers have been very successful lately, winning four in a row and seven of their last nine games.

Despite their long run, the Panthers lost to the Purple Aces with a final score of 3-1.

Evansville came into the game with a record of 2-91. Although the team only has two wins, one of those came against the conference leader, the Drake Bulldogs.

The Purple Aces who have yet to win a game at home and were looking to get

Later on in the first period, Purple Aces’ JBess Ruby scored her first goal of the season with the assist by Bronwyn Boswell.

Four minutes later Mikayla Harvey added to Evansville’s lead, making the score 3-0. The Panthers finally got on the board in the second period, during the 54th minute. Sarah Brandt scored her fifth goal of the year on a penalty kick.

Unfortunately, UNI

could not pull through for the victory, losing 3-1.
