After big win, Sanchez plans activism for future LINH TA

IRIS FRASHER/Northern Iowan

At 14-years-old, Steven Sanchez was ready to end his life.

After a childhood filled with depression and bul-

lying due to his effeminate behavior, Sanchez, a San Antonio native, tried to kill himself when he was at his lowest point in middle school.

“When I was bullied, it made me really depressed

and made me feel worthless,” said Sanchez, senior communications major at the University of Northern Iowa. “I would always get discouraged about not having friends and be lonely.”

Saying goodbye to Baker Hall RACHEL BALDUS

Staff Writer

T

he University of Northern Iowa community gathered for one last look at Baker Hall Oct. 12, as the building is set to be demolished after 78 years of operation. No date has been confirmed for the demolition, but the Iowa Board of Regents approved the plan to tear down the building in 2011.

“They looked at the overall cost of renovating (Baker) with all the problems that its has, where there’s mold issues, lead

in the water, those types of things,” said Amy Mohr, associate director of the UNI Alumni Association, the group that put on the event. “The cost that it would take to renovate this facility was the same as building an entirely new building.”

Baker was built in three phases, beginning in 1936.

While today the building primarily houses academic offices, it originally served as an allmale dormitory.

Many former residents attended the event. They and other visitors helped themselves to refreshments while chatting

with one another, touring the building and reliving memories.

Doug Miner and Rick Maehl, both alumni and former residents of Baker, talked of the old days. They mentioned pranks such as putting shaving cream on phones and taking stuff out of peoples’ rooms to hang on the spiral stairwell.

“We used to take water, we’d put towels under the door at the end. We’d take Tide, and sprinkle Tide, and when it mixed in we’d run and we’d slide,” said Miner.

Coffee and yoga to open on the Hill CORREY PRIGEON Staff Writer

Though construction has taken longer than planned, College Hill will soon welcome two new businesses: Sidecar Coffee Shop and Balance Yoga Studio.

The businesses were scheduled to open in September but are now set to accept customers in early November.

“Every day it’s making progress,” said Balance manager Kara Yahn. “It’s definitely made strides in the last couple of weeks. It’ll open when it’s meant to.”

PANTHER PRIDE

UNI students pump up the pep for Homecoming CORREY PRIGEON Staff writer

The walls of Lang Hall Auditorium reverberated with loud bass beats and the cheers of the University of Northern

Iowa community as the annual Homecoming Pep Rally welcomed hundreds of people into a room filled with Panther spirit on Oct. 11.

Originally, the pep rally was set to be held on Lawther Field,

but was moved to Lang due to potential rainstorms. Lang Hall Auditorium was so packed, the room was standing room only.

The rally opened with the entire crowd bursting from their seats and dancing to Attack

Attack!’s song “Interlude,” led by UNI’s cheerleading squad and TC and TK. Distinguished guests such as Northern Iowa Student Government President Thomas Madsen and UNI President

William Ruud were present.

Ruud expressed his hopes to see the Panthers defeat Southern Illinois University during the Homecoming game the next day.

And just over last weekend, he’s seen his name and story spread across the nation, including in the New York Times, USA Today, the Advocate and Jezebel.

“I never thought that I would have ever made a friend, and now I have a huge group of friends and the entire school supports me,” Sanchez said. “To borrow the phrasing, and to borrow from the Human Rights Campaign, this is the part where I think it’s getting better for me personally.”

While Sanchez said he still deals with depression, he’s received a newfound confidence and wants to share

it with other lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

After taking an online journalism class at UNI, Sanchez discovered a passion for online blogging. He plans to create a blog, lgbteen. org, where LGBT people can share their struggles and connect with others.

“I think that hearing stories of other people being successful and overcoming challenges can be so powerful, because it makes you realize you can do that as well,” Sanchez said.

However, Sanchez has not received purely positive feedback from people who have heard or read his story. He’s seen negative homophobic comments on social media sites and has been criticized

by “radical” feminists who say he’s appropriating women’s culture.

“I’m glad at the end of the day, conversation is happening and I wish that any criticism happening is done constructively and does not attack me,” Sanchez said.

But even with negative feedback, he said he’s received positive responses, and hopes people understand the benefits of him winning Homecoming queen.

“I want people to understand that even if they don’t share my stance on LGBT issues, like they don’t agree with me winning, they do understand this is a positive thing for the university, because this shows that this is a welcoming space for everybody,” Sanchez said.

Yahn, a University of Northern Iowa graduate, plans on teaching “hot yoga” in her studio.

Hot yoga involves performing yoga exercises in a 100-degree room. It was started to replicate the feeling of doing yoga in India, Yahn said.

“I think that hot yoga is so up and coming that college kids are really interested in it.

Everybody likes to sweat, so they’ll want to get in there,” said Yahn.

Though Yahn is only teaching hot yoga, she is open to finding instructors to run more classes.

“The space can be used for anything,” Yahn said. “It’s a huge space and I’m really happy with it.”

Opening next to Balance Yoga Studio is Sidecar Coffee Shop.

The benefits of unlimited meals LAURA HEBBELN hebbelnl @uni.edu

One day at the beginning of the semester, while cleaning tables in the Piazza Dining Center, I noticed an advertisement for the new unlimited meals plan. The advertisement stated that students are no longer allowed to bring fruit out of the Piazza and Rialto Dining Center. It also mentioned that filling water bottles in the dining centers is not allowed, which was an old rule. But bringing out fruit was tolerated last year, and students took advantage of the opportunity.

Carol Fletcher, assistant director of residential dining, put my concerns about the new system to rest.

The Piazza and Rialto were always meant to be “dine-in,” meaning that it was never really ok to bring out fruit or even ice cream cones. Even though it wasn’t technically allowed, Fletcher said they were lax in the past about the rules.

However, taking a lot of

food out of the dining centers is a problem, because it raises the cost of buying food for the school, which in turn raises the cost of meals for students. But if students can eat as much as they want almost whenever they want, they won’t have a reason to be taking out food.

Fletcher loves the unlimited meals because it encourages students to be healthier.

“I have seen the amount of students eating breakfast double since we started the program,” said Fletcher with enthusiasm. She is happy to see such a drastic change, since she is well aware that eating breakfast helps keep students satisfied and productive.

Fletcher also has noticed students eating smaller meals with the new program. Now that students with the new plan don’t have to worry about running out of meals, they don’t feel like they have to eat a ton of food every time they go to the dining center.

The final reason Fletcher loves the new program is because the Department of Residence wants the Piazza and Rialto to have a social

environment.

“We want to see the dining centers as extensions of the residence halls,” said Fletcher.

But for students who live off campus, unlimited meals isn’t a practical plan.

Fletcher did concede that if students are eating a piece of fruit or an ice cream cone as they walk out of the din-

ing center, which indicates it is a part of their meal and not something they are saving for later, that would still most likely be accepted..

“But it would really be a lot easier if food didn’t come out of the dining centers, because then we wouldn’t have any problems,” she quickly added.

Now that I understand the

new unlimited access plan, I think it is a great idea for UNI. It truly has the potential to lower the cost of meals, enable students to be healthier and encourage a more social environment in the dining centers. I only wish it were more practical for students such as myself, because if it was, I would be switching my plan today.

Let’s work together: a look at today’s society PETER ICKES

ickesp@uni.edu

Several weeks ago, a good article written by Kellen Nilles about the growing number of young adult “nones” – those identifying as unaffiliated with any religion – appeared in this paper. Articles about why have people appear to be leaving organized religion have appeared across the nation, and too much attention has been given to the 2012 Pew Research Center study concerning this topic. It is time to finally move past what the figures and examine courses of action that will have a positive impact on our campus.

Nonreligious and religious people alike should be less concerned with separation and identification statistics and more concerned with ways we can connect with one another. We should focus on similarities and common goals to form bonds between groups that would otherwise be at odds. It takes all of us to make up the University of Northern Iowa community.

Eugenio Scalfari, an Italian atheist and founder of la Repubblica.it, and Pope Francis have modeled how to make such connections through a dialogue published on la Repubblica Oct. 1.

Scalfari and Francis concurred that “the young need work and hope but have neither one nor the other, and the problem is they don’t even look for them anymore.

They have been crushed by the present.” This problem is of particular importance to college students. We all ask ourselves the questions, “Will I find a job when I graduate?”

The unemployment rate for 18-29 year olds is 11.8 percent, and the national average is 7.4 percent, according to statistics published Sept. 6

by Generation Opportunity, a bipartisan organization dedicated to advancing the interests of young people in Washington, D.C. We, normal college students at a mid-sized, regional university, must address problems that affect the whole world, and Francis and Scalfari show us how to start.

We must initiate dialogue between people of every

THINKSTOCK

belief.

The goal of this dialogue is not to convert another to one’s own belief, but to accept and understand everyone.

Take a look at the “fountain preachers,” as I call them, who have already appeared multiple times this year outside Maucker Union. While some people may agree with them, oftentimes, the preachers are offensive and blatantly inciting. This is not the

way to establish a healthy campus. A positive and harmonious atmosphere is best created by conversation and cooperation between individual people and groups.

So make connections. Get involved. Have a conversation with someone who is different than you. Don’t just stay within your own bubbles and do things that are comfortable to you. What we have in common with one another is

so much more important than how we differ.

If you are not entirely on board with this attitude, I urge you to look up that conversation between Francis and Scalfari. If we take the attitudes they exhibit and attempt to model them, then our campus will be all-inclusive to a degree that few other institutions are, and it will positively benefit us all as we move forward.

HOMECOMING

Tailgating tradition continues at UNI

CAMPANILING

UNI couples sidestep curse

KELLEN NILLES Staff Writer

Cars rolled along with music blaring, in parking lots that were fast filling up. Passengers could hear the sizzle of cooking meat and the shouts and laughs from tailgaters as they cruised by, looking for a good spot to begin the Homecoming game festivities.

“I’m a big fan of the community aspect of it,” said Daniel Bulrick, junior public relations major. “Just a lot of people, and, whether you know them or you don’t, we’re all here for the Panthers.”

Student tailgating began at noon. Until kickoff, students played games such as life-size Jenga, hacky sack baseball and, of course, football. Food included hamburgers and hotdogs, baked goods, chips and dip, desserts and lots of drinks.

There was a separate tailgate for alumni behind the UNI-Dome, which started at 12:30 p.m.

Julie Svendsen, a Norwegian international student tailgating for the first time, liked seeing the alumni walk around campus and show support for the university.

“They still care about UNI. They still care about the school”

Panther fans crowd the lot behind the UNI-Dome to partake in tailgating festivities. UNI alumni were able to tailgate in a specific area to catch up with old classmates.

she said. “That means that there is something special about UNI.” Rick Maehl, who received his master’s degree from UNI in communications in 1976 after getting his bachelor’s degree in biology, and Doug Miner, who received his bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1971, said they have been tailgating since 1971.

Both men were part of the last group of students who resided in Baker Hall before it was converted into offices, and they partook in the farewell tour of the building Saturday morning, as it

is soon to be demolished.

“We enjoyed the tour through Baker; that was going down memory lane,” said Maehl and Miner.

For many years, football fans have tailgated to pass the time with family and friends before kickoff.

“We all live here in town, so we come every year, all the time,” said Marlys Olgers, who completed her bachelor’s degree at UNI in 1962 and her master’s degree in 1970. “This is bigger and better than ever.”

Both were grateful to be awarded the mantle.

“It feels great. I feel like, as a student here at UNI, winning it is everything,” said Kyeremetang.

Sanchez chose to use his new title to help some of his fellow

students.

“I am literally speechless. I have never felt more connected to the university or more accepted in my entire life. I hope that I’ve just inspired somebody, whether they’re queer people who are afraid to come out or a student who just doesn’t feel like they belong,” said Sanchez.

At the end of the event, attendants were on their feet one last time as they cheered and clapped to the UNI Fight song, yelling, “Victory for UNI!”

The Campanile stands tall at the center of UNI’s campus. Couples had the opportunity to complete the UNI tradition of Campaniling Oct. 11.

CORREY PRIGEON Staff Writer

On the night before the Homecoming game, hundreds of University of Northern Iowa students flocked to the ground beneath UNI’s 100-foot tall clock tower. When the clock struck midnight and the bells of the Campanile rang out with the UNI fight song, couples kissed, per a UNI tradition.

According to UNI’s archives, the tradition began in 1926, the year of the Campanile’s completion.

Campaniling began as a primitive form of courting. Young men called random potential partners and arranged to meet them at a certain time beneath the clock tower. When the time came, the men hid in the bushes and observed the women.

If they judged the young ladies attractive or interesting enough to warrant a greeting, the young men came out from behind the bushes and introduced themselves. If the men weren’t satisfied, they’d sneak away from the bushes and call another young lady.

Catching on to the plan, the women of UNI decided that a woman wasn’t really a true coed unless she was kissed beneath the Campanile. By now, the myths have evolved.

It’s said that if students are not kissed under the Campanile within their four years at UNI, a brick from the structure will fall on their head.

“It’s a tradition and I’ve been participating in the rest of them. It was fun and it was cute,” said Brianne Baylor, freshman business management major, who went with her fiance, Devinare Camacho. The freshman marketing and accounting double major said he participated because he wanted to kiss his fiancee.

“Of course I enjoyed it,” Camacho said.

Some students brought their significant others to UNI to take part in the tradition.

Sophomore communication major Cassidy Stephens brought her boyfriend, who attends Wartburg College.

Even royalty participated in the tradition.

Senior communications major and 2013 UNI Homecoming Queen Steven Sanchez said he had never gone Campaniling before.

“I came out because (UNI) PROUD comes out and it’s a tradition. It’s my last year and I was hoping to not be cursed,” said Sanchez.

UNI students to fight for Survivor title JONATHAN HAUSLER

Staff Writer

With the chilly fall weather here to stay, some University of Northern Iowa students will brave the cold weather as part of the five-day UNI Survive event. UNI Reserve Officer Training Corps and Pi Sigma Epsilon are hosting the event, which runs from Oct. 20 to Oct. 25.

In September, potential UNI Survive participants formed teams of two and raised funds for the charity of their choice. Fundraising ended Oct. 11 and the 10 teams that raised the most funds will compete in the five-day challenge. The 10 teams will be announced before Friday.

While the teams camp, they will complete mental and physical challenges to earn points.

However, he said they once got caught due to water going down the staircase.

Former residents also recounted memories for a video camera in a back room.

“I can’t imagine having lived here and creating so many memories here and then coming back knowing they are tearing it down, that it’s going to be gone,” said Bailey St. Clair, freshman math education major.

Mohr said the offices currently housed in Baker will be moved to Bartlett Hall once the ongoing renovations are complete. Once Baker is demolished, the land it was on will be turned into a green space.

These challenges will be “Survivor” style, meaning only the winning team will be rewarded. The team with the most points at the end will win the title of UNI Survivor, a check going toward their chosen charity and some gift cards.

Packets can be returned to Aguero or the marketing department office in Curris. pology and criminology, said faculty will largely be moved out of Baker by Dec. 3. At the event, Crew gave tours of the building.

“I’ll never forget the experiences I had here, and the education I got here,” said Dave DeWalle, a 1965 Baker Hall resident. “It was just a delightful and educating experience. People here were great, the men and the women, the students — hard to match. There was a lot of peace and tranquility on campus. When I come here, I feel like I’m on hallowed ground.”

As for the farewell event, Mohr said the UNI Alumni Association wanted to put it on while Baker was still in use.

“We wanted to celebrate its history, as opposed to mourning its loss,” she said.

Too little, too late

FOOTBALL

Panthers’ comeback falls short against SIU RILEY UBBEN

Sports Writer

The Panthers had one play and one yard to extend their drive in a must-score situation in overtime, down 24-17.

David Johnson could not push the ball through to the first down marker on 4th-and-1st from the Southern Illinois University 16-yard line in what would be the last play of the Homecoming game.

“You’ve got to get that,” said University of Northern Iowa head coach Mark Farley.

“Knock it across the line. If you’re going to win, win.”

The Panther ground game was nonexistent, as the SIU Salukis led in nearly every offensive statistical category.

UNI (4-2, 0-2 Missouri Valley Football Conference) ran for just 37 yards on their way to a season-low 235-yard day on offense.

Johnson rushed 11 times for 19 yards, far below his season average of 140 yards a game.

“We didn’t block well enough,” said Farley. “We didn’t make the plays that we needed to make. A lot of that was them (SIU); a lot of that was us.”

The Salukis piled up 451 yards of offense in their dom-

inant offensive performance.

SIU’s time of possession in the ballgame was 37:09 as they ran 31 more plays than UNI. The Salukis were 9-12 on 3rd downs in the first 2 1/2 quarters as they built themselves a 14-0 lead.

Panther freshman Ray Mitchell’s interception on the 3rd down swung the momentum towards UNI when he took the ball 53 yards before fumbling it forward 11 yards to teammate Deiondre’ Hall.

Hall took the ball the remaining 29 yards for UNI’s first score of the game.

The interception was key during the UNI comeback, as SIU was just 1-6 on 3rd down conversions after the Mitchell interception.

Eight plays later, Sawyer Kollmorgen found Kevin Vereen downfield for a 52-yard touchdown that evened the score at 14-14. Kollmorgen

passed for 198 yards while completing 18 of his 30 pass attempts.

“I was surprised they played man on (Vereen),” said Kollmorgen. “I took a shot with him and he chased the ball down.”

SIU put themselves in a position to kick a game-winning field goal with :02 left in

regulation. Saluki placekicker Thomas Kinney’s attempt was wide, sending the game into overtime.

The momentum swing was short lived, as SIU quarterback Kory Faulkner completed a 20-yard pass to John Lantz in the first play of overtime. SIU found the end zone a play later by way

of a Malcolm Agnew 5-yard touchdown run that put the game away. Agnew rushed for 113 yards on 25 carries.

The Panthers look to end their two-game losing streak and pick up their first conference win of the season at 4 p.m. Saturday in Cedar Falls against the University of South Dakota.

VOLLEYBALL

UNI winning streak snapped, split road trip BEN LLOYD

Sports Writer

To start off their weekend, the University of Northern Iowa volleyball team traveled to face their inner-conference opponent the University of Evansville.

With a quick turn around and another game looming over them, the Panthers hoped to make a short visit to Evansville, Ind., and add another win to their current winning streak.

The team did just that, taking care of the Purple Aces in three sets and moving their winning streak to five matches.

The Panthers saw offense from Macy Ubben and Leigh Pudwill, both of whom added

12 kills of their own in the win for UNI. Eryca Hingtgen also attributed to the offensive stats with nine kills.

Kinsey Caldwell did most of the service work with a total of 36 assists throughout the three matches.

Saturday proved to be less favorable for UNI when they traveled to Carbondale, Ill., to face the Salukis of Southern Illinois University.

The Panthers only managed to get a win in one of four sets, ultimately losing the match and snapping their winning streak.

The loss dropped the Panthers’ overall record to 13-6 on the year and 5-2 in conference play.

The Salukis took quick

leads in both of the first two sets, winning 25-19 and 25-18.

Throughout the first two matches, the Panthers showed signs of resilience but couldn’t quite mount the comebacks in either one.

In the third set, UNI got on a late run and forced more sets, capping off set three with an 8-3 run, giving them the victory 25-20.

Despite the surge created in the third set, UNI was unable to keep momentum on their side in the fourth set, losing 25-23.

In the Panthers’ loss, Ubben recorded 15 kills, followed by Courtney Kintzel with 13. Caldwell once again set up the Panthers with 38 assists.
