Author and journalist Tracie McMillan took the stage of Lang Hall Auditorium to discuss her book “The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee’s, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table,” on Oct. 14.
For the book, McMillan went undercover in a Detroit Walmart produce aisle, California garlic fields and a New York Applebee’s kitchen. The book chronicles her immersion into the lower class, investigating the way American food is made and the people who make it. See MCMILLAN, page 5

A worker prepares the 3-D printer at UNI.
The University of Northern Iowa is home to the Panthers, and now, it’s also home to the biggest 3-D printer in Iowa.
Staff from UNI tested their new 3-D printer in the Waterloo TechWorks building Friday, Oct. 11. “I think it’s pretty cool, honestly,” said Elijah Roth, senior metal casting major. “We can print
molds and geometries that we couldn’t possibly make without it with traditional molding methods.” The printer cost $1.5 million. According to the Cedar Falls/Waterloo Courier, the Iowa
Economic Development Authority paid $1.2 million in funding and the university and the Metal Casting Center paid for the rest. See PRINTING, page 2
