FUTURE OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES

STUCK IN A HAZE IRIS FRASHER

igarettes and cigars won’t be found at the University of Northern Iowa, but the bright blue or red tip of an electronic cigarette can be seen on campus.

Electronic cigarettes, often referred to as e-cigs, are plastic or metal devices which commonly resemble cigarettes. They do not contain chemicals and additives that are found in cigarettes. There is no tobacco, but a liquid nicotine or solution is heated. When a puff is exhaled, the leftover product is water vapor, so there are no known toxic byproducts.

UNI has been a smoke-free campus for a few years due to Iowa’s Smoke Free Air Act, which doesn’t allow smoking in most public places.

However, e-cigs weren’t considered at the time of the act’s creation, so for now they can be smoked just about anywhere.

For 10 years, the School of Health, Physical Education and Leisure Services has rewarded consistent excellence by hanging a picture on the wall. Now, four more have been added.

In honor of the 10th anniversary of induction ceremonies into the Elinor A. Crawford and William R. Thrall Hall of Excellence, former U.S.

Amount the usage jumped among teens between 2011 and 2012.

See E-CIGS, page 2

Olympian Anita DeFrantz was recruited to speak at Friday’s ceremony.

The hall recognizes HPELS graduates who have distinguished themselves as professionals and have positively represented the school and the university.

The four 2013 inductees included Donald Briggs, Mark Farley, Frederick Pelley and Debra Stephenson. To date, 90 individuals have been inducted into the Hall, 28 of whom attended Friday’s event.

Crawford and Thrall were the main benefactors of the hall, and they attended this year’s ceremony. President William Ruud, who spoke to the hundreds of students and faculty at the event, had Crawford and Thrall stand to be individually recognized.

Students make a difference KELLEN NILLES Staff Writer

MCT CAMPUS

University of Northern Iowa students will have the chance to get their hands dirty and “make a difference” in the Cedar Valley through volunteer work Oct. 26.

Make a Difference Day is the largest national day of service, and millions of volunteers participate in large service projects across the world, according to the day’s official website. “(Make a Difference Day)

gives students a chance to connect with the Cedar Valley community,” said KaLeigh White, chair of the Service and Leadership Council of the Student Involvement Center.

“The community does a lot for the students, and it’s nice to give back to it.”

White said the program was started five years ago by the leadership council, because there was a student demand for more volunteer opportunities.

Zeena Zumwalt, freshman art major, witnessed a female smoking an e-cig in Rod Library and said she felt uncomfortable.

“It was kind of weird,” Zumwalt said. “It’s seems rude.”

Electronic cigarettes are becoming more popular among teenagers and young adults, according to the Center for Disease Control. The usage of electronic cigarettes among U.S. teens jumped from 5 to 10 percent between 2011 and 2012.

“I’m concerned about this product, which is really nothing more than a nicotine delivery device,” said Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller in a press release.

Miller signed a bipartisan letter signed by 36 state attorney generals and attorneys general in three U.S. territories, urging the Federal Drug Administration to take available measures to regulate electronic cigarettes under the Tobacco Control Act, accord-

ing to a press release.

According to Bloomberg Industries research, the $1.5 billion e-cigarette industry tripled it’s sales this year. In 2013, various tobacco companies introduced their own version of electronic cigarettes, according to CBS News.

Traditional cigarette sales have declined by an annual rate of 3 to 4 percent, while the sale of smokeless products increased by 7.5 percent from 2010 to 2012, according to Bloomberg. Like regular cigarettes, the customer must be at least 18 years old to buy e-cigs in Iowa, but there are not any federal regulations on the legal age to buy.

Even though e-cigarettes are not included in the Smoke Free Air Act, the University of Iowa is considering banning them from their campus. The university’s faculty council met recently to discuss whether e-cigarettes should be included under their smokefree campus rules, according to the Des Moines Register.

VOLUME 110, ISSUE 16

It’s time to view education differently LAURA HEBBELN hebbelnl @uni.edu

What are the normal words exchanged in the residence halls, dining centers and classrooms on a typical Monday morning here at UNI? “Ugh, I don’t want to go to class.” “I wish my class was cancelled.” “I just want to go back to bed.” “I hate school.” All students, myself included, have participated in these conversations. It is natural to feel tired in the morning. It is normal to want more time to do the things that you want to do. But would you make these comments if the other student you were having a conversation with Malala Yousafzai?

Malala Yousafzai is a sixteen-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban at 15 for standing up for

education for women. She survived the assassination attempt and wrote a book, “I am Malala,” about her experiences before and after the attack. The Taliban was threatened by Malala’s views and the fact that she was not afraid to share them.

“I wanted to speak up for my rights,” Malala said to Mishal Husain in a report for the BBC. “And also I didn’t want my future to be just sitting in a room and be imprisoned in my four walls and just cooking and giving birth to children. I didn’t want to see my life in that way.”

If Malala attended UNI, I believe we would hear her repeating some of her quotes that are posted all over the Internet, such as “I will get my education if it is in home, school or any place.” Or, “I don’t mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is an education.”

What would you do if you heard another student making these comments on

their way to class? I know what my reaction would be.

I would do a double-take and probably continue to eavesdrop on the person and come to the conclusion that they were weird.

This is the sad truth in America. Education is something that so many of us take for granted. I challenge you to start appreciating the fact that you are able to receive an education. I am going to try to do the same.

Next Monday, say something positive about the class that you are walking to, and smile at all the openmouthed stares that I am sure you get. If you want to take your weirdness even further, bring up Malala and how grateful you are for the education you are receiving.

It’s time for us to start thinking differently about school.

It should not be something that we groan about every morning. It is truly a gift we should appreciate every single day.

Books still hold relevancy in today’s society DAVID POPE poped @uni.edu

Don’t write the online obituary for printed pages yet. As techno-lovers and the popular media exclaim books are over and schools place iPads in elementary students’ hands instead of textbooks, it might be time to rethink our mindset of “continual progress.”

Tablets, e-readers and smartphones opened up opportunities for reading that

didn’t exist before, allowing one to carry hundreds of reading options in a small carrying case. But in a lot of ways, evidence is rising that, not only is this technology not superior to printed books, it may actually be worse.

Take for instance the 2011 New York Times article, “A Silicon Valley school which doesn’t compute.” The article revealed that many of Silicon Valley’s top technological masterminds actually send their children to a school where their creations are banned.

Technology is fun. It is a status symbol. It shows we

are in the know as saliently as wearing the latest trend or quoting the latest hit television show. Our narrative excuses ourselves from feeling bad about wanting all of our verbs to have e- in front of them. Unfortunately, this narrative isn’t the whole truth.

Although it’s true devices like the Kindle or Nook holds many books and articles in one place, they require electricity and internet access to power. A book requires nothing but adequate lighting and your eyes, and it can be taken anywhere. It will never be wiped by magnetic impulses, or have its screen cracked in your backpack. You can carry a book with you to your favorite outdoor location and read it without worrying about finding a plug-in.

A book will never be hacked or get a virus. You can read a book right before you go to bed and actually get more relaxed and sleepy, unlike with e-readers, which brings me to my next point.

The reading experience of a physical book is better for our brains, our attention spans, our sleep patterns and our comprehension. Elle magazine suggests the usage of tablet computers and smart phones is shortening our attention

spans, making it harder to focus on single tasks, such as reading. Who among us isn’t tempted to open Facebook or check our email while we are busy with other tasks on our technological devices?

All the distractions the internet and various apps provide make comprehension close to impossible. Some of us may be able to sit down with an e-reader and resist the temptation to stray from the given material, but due to the bluish light our devices emit, the hours spent looking at the screen still sends a message to our brain to be hyperawake, which can mess with our sleep patterns and stress us out. None of these mental effects have been attributed to printed books.

Perhaps the most prevalent and powerful of the arguments for scrolling down rather than turning pages comes in the conception of technology being cleaner, greener and better for our earth. Paper comes from trees, so why not save a few by using our gadgets instead? Unfortunately, this view doesn’t take into consideration the environmental impact of the e-reader itself.

According to VQR, e-readers are in use for about two years on average before they are

replaced. It’s true that reading a single book on an e-reader has fewer total CO2 emissions than reading a single book, but if you take into consideration the total carbon dioxide emissions of the production of the technology and the electricity required for its use, the technology itself releases more CO2.

In addition to CO2 emissions, e-reader technologies contain rare “conflict minerals,” resources which are extracted at a high social, political and environmental cost. The profits from these minerals are often used to purchase weapons for warring factions and fuel genocide in places like the Democratic Republic of Congo.

If that weren’t enough, our high-cost gadgets are often produced overseas by workers who are paid slave wages.

Books are fairly cheap to produce and are usually printed here in the U.S., exacting no such human cost.

I’m not suggesting we give up all of our technology, just don’t write off printed books quite yet. E-readers may very well be the future, but they shouldn’t be.

Books still work-better than the technology we’ve created to replace them.

Emotion to flow at Interpreters Theatre Staff Writer

Eight performers will each claim 10 minutes to throw down their best poetry in the Interpreters Theatre’s slam poetry exhibition “Slammin’ at the Interp!” Oct. 24.

Karen Mitchell, artistic director of the Interpreters Theatre, contacted graduate student communication studies major Michael Taylor over the summer to organize and direct the event. As an emcee at the open performance venue INK!, Taylor already had several connections with artists and was able to bring them in from around the state of Iowa.

Taylor has watched or per-

formed with about half of the artists in the performance.

“It’s been a fun process working with everyone so far,” said Taylor. “The directing process has been mainly online, trying to set up what people need. But knowing them personally for the past few months has made it easier.”

In contrast to the relaxed social environment found at INK!’s performance nights, which include singing and stand-up comedy as well as slam poetry, Taylor thinks the Interpreters Theatre will be more focused, with the audience arriving solely for the poetry.

The show begins at 7:30 p.m. in Room 40. It is free,

but tickets will be handed out at 6:45 p.m. due to limited seating.

Josh Hamzehee, adjunct communication instructor at UNI, will perform two poems, “ B i g fo o t lives” and “ C O N V I C T. ” He said they are are about “how we need to be more accepting of what people choose to believe in” and “our messed up prison system,” respectively.

UNI students sound off on the nature of violent video games RILEY COSGROVE Staff Writer

With Rockstar Games’ September release of “Grand Theft Auto V,” the company raked in $1 billion in the first three days of the game’s release, according to Imagine Games Network.

The violence, the drugs and alcohol, the blood, the language and strong sexual content featured in the fifth installment of the violent video game chain led it to receive a “Mature” rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board.

“I play them, most of my friends play them, but I don’t think they are for everyone,” said Matt Ehrler, junior communica-

tion studies major. He said he owns two copies of the game in the apartment he shares with two other guys.

“The images can be sensitive and most people around our age know that the images are pretend and should not be replicated in real life. If a person does not have a strong mental stability, they should not be playing these games at all,” said Ehrler.

However, in a 2010 study published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence, researchers Christopher Ferguson and Cheryl Olson discovered that exposure to violent video games did not cause criminal or aggressive behavior in high-risk teens. They defined highrisk teens as those with

Playing violent video games had the opposite effect for those with atten-

that these games are violent, but I feel like a lot of college students use them as stress reliever,” said Mallory Duggan, senior communications major.

Kiley Cahill, junior leisure, youth and human services major, said she doesn’t play video games and does not like the context of violent video games.

However, she said most college students can distinguish between right and wrong, so playing violent video games in college is ok.

“But I definitely think the younger you are the more susceptible to aggression and violent behavior you are,” said Cahill.

UNI drops third straight Panthers sweep RILEY UBBEN

Sports Writer

(pictured) David Johnson ERIC CLAUSEN/Northern Iowan

A stalling offense doomed the University of Northern Iowa Saturday as the Panthers blew a 28-7 lead on their way to a 38-31 double-overtime loss to the University of South Dakota Coyotes.

UNI had just 30 yards of total offense in the fourth quarter as USD went on a 21-0 scoring run. USD racked up 510 total yards of offense, including 370 through the air.

This was the second straight week the Panthers (4-3, 0-3 Missouri Valley Football Conference) fell in overtime at home.

The Panthers took a commanding 28-7 lead after David Johnson found the end zone from 7 yards out with 5 minutes, 54 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The touchdown gave the Panthers a total of 21 unanswered points despite not having an attempted pass during the three scoring drives.

“We didn’t do anything on offense after we got up 28-7,” said UNI head coach Mark Farley. “You have got to keep the pedal on and keep moving.

We didn’t do that and we gave them a second wind and they came back and beat us.”

Jo h n s o n , who rushed for just 19 yards last week,

bounced back after a hip pointer injury and finished the night with 181 yards on 35 carries.

“I am definitely 100 percent,” said Johnson.

“I trained and rehabbed all last week. I was ready to go.”

SDU’s 21 unanswered points started with a 43-yard touchdown pass from Kevin Earl to Riley Donovan for his second touchdown catch of the night. Donovan finished with a career-high 178 yards receiving on nine catches.

UNI quarterback Sawyer

Kollmorgen’s third interception of the game came with 12:50 left in regulation. Kollmorgen threw for one touchdown and a seasonhigh three interceptions while being sacked four times.

“The interception was thrown across his body,” said Farley. “(That) shouldn’t happen.”

The Coyotes took advantage of the turnover and found themselves within a touchdown despite being down early.

Earl found Terrance Terry in the end zone on 4th and goal from the 2-yard line with :05 remaining in regulation. Earl’s third touchdown through the air sent the game into overtime.

In overtime, the Panthers again needed to get a few yards to extend their drive and keep their hopes of winning alive.

Facing 4th down with 3 yards to go, Kollmorgen was sacked for a final time by Emilious Davis for a 6-yard loss.

The Panthers return to action Saturday when they travel to Brookings, S.D., to take on South Dakota State University. UNI is still seeking their first conference win of the season.

JAKE’S TAKE

UNI down, not out for season finish JAKE BEMIS

Sports Editor

No one said it would be easy.

Even when the University of Northern Iowa football team started the season 4-0, there were a lot of question marks heading into Missouri Valley Football Conference play.

As if that wasn’t enough, the Panthers lost their leading tackler and starting middle linebacker Jake Farley during their first conference game against North Dakota State University. UNI gave up a late touchdown and lost that game, which looked like a victory early on, hitting a low point in the season.

If only we had known then what we know now.

Just three weeks after the Panthers picked up their fourth win of the season to remain undefeated, they lost their third straight game to South Dakota University. It’s the new lowlight of what has quickly started to look like a stinker of a season.

But there are still plenty of reasons for this Panther team to keep their chins held high.

Five games remain in the season, and all five games are winnable. The past three games may have been the toughest stretch in a schedule for any team in the country, so while they didn’t turn out the way UNI wanted them to, it shouldn’t be taken as a lack of talent.

If the Panthers can win out, it would give them a 9-3 record, which should be good enough to receive an at-large birth to the expanded Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. The FCS has added four teams to the postseason this year, with the grand total now at 24.

If UNI can reach the playoffs, anything is possible. The question is, can they get there?

The injuries are an obvious concern. David Johnson looks like he has returned to full health after suffering a hip pointer a few weeks ago, which is a great sign.

Johnson may be the biggest key to this Panther team, but they have four offensive starters out for the season — two of who have never played a single down this year.

Farley was the leader of the defense, which has become lessthan-par with his absence. It will be up to them, mainly the defensive secondary, to carry UNI to the postseason.

With a less than stellar list of opponents remaining and a healthy David Johnson, this team has what it takes to make a run at a national championship. It has been a rough three weeks, we can all agree to that, but don’t jump off the UNI bandwagon just yet.

The season is far from over.

Over the weekend, the University of Northern Iowa volleyball team picked up what may have been the win of the season when both Illinois State University and Indiana State University came to Cedar Falls to take on the Panthers.

The Panthers’ first match of the weekend was against the Illinois State Redbirds, who were undefeated in conference play. After splitting the first two sets, the Panthers came out in set three and took care of the Redbirds, grabbing control of the match with a 2-1 lead. The win set up a dramatic set four. With the score tied at 23 apiece, Eryca Hingtgen and Macy Ubben gave UNI a couple kills, sealing the Panther victory 25-23.

“This was a huge match for us with them (ISU) being undefeated and on top of the MVC. We know they’re a tough team and we did a nice job of coming back after losing set two and getting the win,” said UNI head coach Bobbi

“The girls had some long rallies (Friday) and have a tough opponent to deal with (Saturday) night.

Indiana State is another good team and we just got to make sure we’re mentally and physically prepared for them,” said Petersen.

UNI did just that Saturday night as they took care of the Sycamores, winning in four sets. The Panthers’ attack on Saturday was led

by Shelby Kintzel, who notched 16 kills for UNI, and Kinsey Caldwell, who added 41 assists to her season total.

The wins placed UNI in third place in the Missouri Valley Conference standings, posting a record of 7-2 and currently trailing Wichita State University and Illinois State by one game each.

Following the weekend’s home stand, the Panthers will spend next weekend on the road. They will face the Bears of Missouri State University in Springfield, Mo., for another conference battle followed by a showdown with WSU Saturday night.
