“I want to know that, if I’m sitting in class and someone’s whispering like, ‘this nigger needs to go back to her home; go back to her continent,’ and I tell my administration that, they’re not just going to write it off and put it in a drawer like it’s another sob story,” said Melanie Majeed, freshman marketing and management major. “I’m not just a check. I could’ve went somewhere else and got the same education and been able to enjoy myself.”

In light of the decision by members of Ethnic Student Promoters (ESP) to boycott an open house focusing on multicultural recruitment, held by UNI, ESP, the Black Student Union, Hispanic Latino Student Union (HLSU) and other multicultural student organizations arranged an open forum Thursday for

Every day for like three weeks straight [when walking to class] I would hear the word ‘faggot’ come out of a caucasian’s mouth...

And I had to set up a meeting with the Dean of Students and literally nothing got done... It was just like, ‘Oh, why do you think they’re doing this?... What, can I tell you what to do? Like, you’re in the position of power to help me with my problems... I’m really starting to think that a lot of the administration on this campus only does this for a check.

students to discuss their experiences with discrimination.

Majeed was one of some 80 students who gathered to share their experiences.

Chloey Arispe, freshman elementary education major, was another.

“We can’t change what [individual] students think,” said Arispe. “I mean, when I hand out a flyer for the baile and someone goes, ‘Oh, this is just a beaner thing,’ I can’t control what’s coming out of their mouth. But I want [to]; I want to control what happens when I report it — when I say, ‘Hey, I’m not feeling comfortable.’”

Arispe said she had multiple encounters with her roommate that made her feel uncomfortable, including her roommate objecting to her playing Spanish-language music and telling others that Arispe was in her room “doing her Mexican stuff.”

I missed a test in my Humanities Japan class and since I missed my test my professor asked why or what was my reason for missing my test. I asked what were my options. He told me withdrawal and another white student was told by the professor he could talk with him after class.

I told an advisor and she asked me what did she want me to do about it.

Know your rental rights CLINTON OLSASKY Staff Writer

On Wednesday, Nov. 11, the Northern Iowa Student Government (NISG) is hosting “Know Your Rental Rights,” an event that is aimed to educate student renters about their rights and responsibilities as tenants.

The event will be held in the Elm Room at Maucker Union from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. The event coincides with the new rental housing ordinance that was passed by the Cedar Falls City Council this year. The law specifies a number of requirements that are now used to determine how many unrelated persons are allowed to occupy the same rental property.

Cedar Falls Fire Department chief John Schilling and his staff will be giving a presentation at the event which will address rental code enforcement, as well as provide advice for students when dealing with their landlords. NISG will then open the floor for a question and answer period.

Sophomore marketing and economics major and chair of External Relations for NISG, Danielle Massey, explained their reasoning for hosting this event. “[Schilling] is very open to discussing the specifics,” said Massey. “He’ll bring staff who […] are in charge of enforcing this ordinance and are experts on that. One reason we wanted to bring them in is to help students understand what this new ordinance means.”

It would appear that students are, in fact, eager to learn more about the new law. According to Massey, the rental ordinance reinvigorated students’ interest in local government.

“After students had heard about [the rental housing ordinance] and were interested, they came to city government,” Massey said. “They came to council meetings. They represented UNI, and I was very proud with how they represented UNI. I was very excited that students were speaking up for

what they thought was right.”

Massey went on to say one of students’ main issues with the ordinance was the new occupancy level guidelines According to the Northern Iowan archives, the ordinance states that newly registered single-dwelling rental properties are allowed an occupancy level of anywhere from two to four unrelated persons or a family.

However, existing rental properties that are sold or transferred by the owner are subject to review under the following criteria: a lot width of 70 ft. or greater, street width of 31 ft. or greater, lot area of 8,000 sq. ft. or greater and four designated hard-surfaced parking spaces off of the street. If the property in question doesn’t meet these criteria, the maximum occupancy level will be changed to three unrelated persons.

According to the Northern Iowan archives, the ordinance also allows the owner of a single-dwelling property to file for an application to raise the occupancy level to four unrelated persons, provided that the property meets the above criteria. Furthermore, the law allows for tenants to apply for a “group rental permit,” which would grant occupancy for up to five unrelated persons.

These permits can be granted to properties that meet the aforementioned requirements, as well as the following: preservation of character of the neighborhood, compliance with the International Property Maintenance Code occupancy level, sufficient lot size, adequate off-street parking, adequate public infrastructure,

buffering of parking and compliance record for property or others under the same ownership.

The first of these requirements (character of the neighborhood) has generated some controversy among students.

Sophomore anthropology major, Ellie Akers, took particular offense to the wording.

“I was kind of hurt by that, because it was almost like it was saying that all college students were bad people and that we’re all partiers [… ] some of us actually like living in nice neighborhoods and in clean houses, myself included,” said Akers.

Massey offers a different interpretation of this particular criterion.

“In their belief, when renters move in and new properties pop up as renting properties, the neighborhoods kind of dissolve,” Massey said. “They aren’t saying that students are specifically the issue, but they are saying we can’t ignore the large number of rental properties in Cedar Falls.”

Sophomore political communication and jazz studies major, Clayton Ryan, is planning on living in an off-campus house through the summer and into the next academic year.

Ryan admitted there are both positive and negative aspects about the ordinance.

“What a lot of students’ first reaction is when they hear about [the ordinance] is that there are a lot of requirements,” Ryan said. “But what this is doing is also holding the landlords more accountable.”

Landlord accountability will be just one of the issues covered in NISG’s “Know Your Rental Rights” event this Wednesday.

Massey spoke about the importance of attending the event.

“As of last spring, we started seeing the need for students… to know about their rights,” said Massey. “And so, we’re here to make sure students know what they can and can’t do. And make sure that they aren’t being taken advantage of.”

FORUM

continued from page 1

However, according to Arispe, her RA insisted that she sit down with her roommate to settle the incident. Arispe said that, because the sit-down occurred, it’s difficult for her to formally report the incident because it is considered settled.

Darian Jones, junior accounting major, said there are subtle “insensitivities in the culture” around UNI. Jones said he was in a suit in the Curris Business building, and an administrator asked why he was dressed up.

When Jones replied that he was getting his picture taken to be featured in an article, the administrator said, “Oh, so you’re an athlete.”

“My problem with it is that, if I was a white boy and dressed up in a suit, would she have asked me the same question?” Jones said.

Hansen Breitling, senior philosophy major, said there were three goals for the forum: to gather a comprehensive list of stories of discrimination and unequal treatment, brainstorm possible solutions to aid the university in their attempts to address the problem and have students identify allies within staff and faculty.

There’s nothing we can do besides be there for one another... Because the people with the power do not care.

Other students shared their stories, including Reggie Torian, freshman marketing major, whose mother was called a racial slur at a Cedar Falls McDonald’s.

“It’s just to the point where I don’t want them [my family] to come up here,” Torian said, “because it’s like, ‘What are they going to say? What are they going to say?’”

The three-hour forum mostly focused on personal stories of discrimination, but students did float ideas to help solve the problems.

Dylan Keller, graduate history student, called for more diverse representation in NISG. He also expressed the need for multicultural events to reach out to white students for attendance.

Others called for more diverse representation in university administration, including a president of color.

Perhaps the issue that received the most disagreement was whether multicultural organizations should have one space or a shared space, such as the CME. Some said the CME has been the place for students to meet but has encountered trouble with students not going to the CME with concerns.

Alisha Thompson, senior political science and global studies double major, who works at the CME, said that it is “in a state of flux” right now and that this is the time for students to vocalize their concerns.

Thompson acknowledged that the CME may have seemed like “a Band-Aid” solution, but its new mission, expressed in an email from President Ruud last week, should make it more of a resource for students going forward.

Others disagreed, with one student going so far as to say that the CME is a used as a way to control UNI’s multicultural population.

Breitling, who acted as a moderator for the forum, asked why the university couldn’t have separate spaces for each group as well as a shared space.

Jamya Valentine, senior psychology and criminology double major, wasn’t sure there is a solution.

“Once something is that deeply rooted, what can you do besides provide support to those around you who feel the same way?” Valentine said. “There’s nothing we can do besides be there for one another... Because the people with the power do not care.”

Striving towards a safe campus Remembering Katie JACOB MADDEN Staff Writer

There have been 144 school shootings in the U.S. since the Sandy Hook elemtary school shooting in 2012, according to a report by The Los Angeles Times. The Times classified a school shooting as an incident when a firearm was discharged inside a school building or on campus.

“You can’t say these incidents are rare, and they’re not,” said Lieutenant Joe Tyler of the UNI Police Division and director of the Violent Incident Defense Strategies program. “We’ve done [VIDS] the last several years, we’ve trained lots of people and we need to train more.”

VIDS is a free training program open to students, faculty and staff at UNI that aims to teach participants the skills needed to protect their safety in a violent situation. Tyler said the VIDS program does this

by teaching the concepts of ALICE, a defense strategy that stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate.

“We go through the whole gambit of: if something were to happen on campus, here are the things you need to think about,” said Tyler. “We talk about everything from the alert portion to evacuating to countering, which is the handson stuff.”

Tyler regularly referred to self-empowerment as a major aspect of ALICE. “We really push on [people] that you need to think for yourself,” Tyler said. ALICE is intended as a supplemental tool to delay a violent incident until the UNI police can arrive, according to Tyler.

“We also go into the process of what you can expect from us,” Tyler said.

“One of the bad things about [teaching ALICE] is everyone wants a cookie cutter ‘this is what I’m supposed to do,’” Tyler said. “That isn’t

always going to be the case with this.”

However, Tyler went on to say that ALICE is a program that is adaptable to each situation and teaches resourcefulness. The countering portion of ALICE covers ideas such as throwing whatever is near at the assailant.

“Don’t think of a belt as just a belt or a shoelace as something to keep your shoes on or the infinity scarves that a lot of the ladies wear; it doesn’t matter [what it is],” Tyler said.

ALICE also teaches participants how to find untraditional exits, such as windows, as an evacuation technique.

“We really stress the idea that something is better than nothing,” Tyler said. “The best part about this is that it isn’t just for UNI, you could be anywhere: the mall, you could be at the theatre, you could be anywhere, and this stuff is applicable in any environment.”

“I feel safe on campus, but I fear robbery most of any violence,” said Derrick Wright, freshman psychology major, expressing his safety concerns.

According to Tyler, it isn’t possible to be on high alert all the time, but it is important to be aware of your surroundings.

Tyler concluded that although it is everyone’s responsibility to be as safe as possible, they have to take their safety into their own hands.

Desperate: send me your internet points Students, staff and faculty of UNI, I am writing to you in a fit of desperation. I’m on my metaphorical knees, begging you to help me with something I feel in the very marrow of my bones. Despite my long labors in curating the perfect Twitter persona, I have stalled at 262 followers.

This is obviously as hard for me to admit as it is for you to hear about.

The problem is, I can’t tell what I’ve done wrong. I am flummoxed by my failure to ride the rocket of my dysfunctional life to online fame. Let me convince you: I have all the raw materials to become a first-rate internet celebrity.

First, a constant and consistent connection to the internet is the most important thing in my life. Since getting my iPhone in June, I have only been without the internet while sleeping. OK, that’s not entirely honest. While on a car trip this July, I was outside of my cellular provider’s 4G LTE and 3G coverage.

It was absolutely hideous. I had to talk to the other people in the car, and I wasn’t even able to dull the pain by browsing Buzzfeed listicles while pretending to listen to them.

But anyway, whenever I’m not sleeping or outside of civilization, I’m standing ready to post the minutiae of my daily

life in pithy tidbits for the consumption of friends and strangers alike.

Second, there is nothing I won’t share with hundreds of anonymous internet followers. I’m sure most of you have been urged to consider what future employers would think about content before you post

it to the internet. Well, as you might be able to tell from my dual majors in English and flute performance, I’m not worried about becoming employed after finishing my undergraduate career. This means I have no need for standards or dignity when it comes to editing my persona

for Twitter viewers.

If you don’t believe me, let me submit for you the evidence of my tweet on the morning of Aug. 23, 2015. To orient you in space and time, this would be the day before classes started this fall semester. All I needed to tell the world could be summed up in the three words I tweeted at this time: “I am drink.”

Other topics I have covered in my public Twitter account: the viscosity of my saliva, how little I shower, the temptation to submit “Star Trek” fanfiction for my graduate school applications (still so true), and all the inappropriate places on campus where I have tripped, napped and/ or cried.

Third, my uncontrollable narcissism. I believe with utter certainty that every single thing I think of is something you want and need to read. My observations about the weather or comments about the rearrangement of the sections at Hy-Vee will enrich your life and strengthen your spirit.

VP op-ed: It’s on us to stop campus sexual assault Editor’s note: Joe Biden’s offices asked college newspapers to publish an op-ed calling for action against campus sexual assault.

Twenty-one years ago, I wrote the Violence Against Women Act to end the scourge of violence against women and hold perpetrators accountable. It’s been a great success, but even one attack is one too many.

So I held a number of calls with hundreds of students, administrators, advocates, and survivors and asked what we can do to make colleges safer.

The overwhelming answer— get men involved.

So President Obama and I started It’s on Us—to wake-up our colleges and universities – and the country – to the epidemic of sexual violence on their campuses.

Over the past year, we’ve gotten celebrities, major companies, sports leagues, and leading broadcasters to participate in public service announcements and display logos and information, showing how everyone can help prevent these heinous crimes

from ever happening.

One thing students can do is take the It’s on Us pledge.

Over 250,000 students have already pledged: To intervene instead of being a bystander.

To recognize that any time consent is not – or cannot – be given, it is sexual assault and it is a crime.

To do everything you can to create an environment where sexual assault is unacceptable, and all survivors are supported.

The response has been overwhelming. More than 300 campuses have hosted over 1,000 It’s on Us events, and nearly 300 colleges and universities have created their own It’s on Us public service announcements, reaching millions of people online and at football and basketball games.

But this year, we want to do even more. That’s why between November 8 to November 14, I’m traveling across the country calling for a Week of Action to get more students involved.

This week, the University of Wisconsin is hosting an It’s on Us flag football game with student athletes,

members of Greek organizations, and other student groups. At Stonehill College in Massachusetts, students, faculty, and staff are wearing nametags that say how they have been affected by sexual assault: “I am a survivor,” and “I will not be a

passive bystander.” Middle Tennessee State University is hosting discussions in the student center and online about consent and stopping sexual violence.

In addition to taking the pledge, consider other steps: Organize drives to get

more students to take the It’s on Us Pledge.

Ask businesses, libraries, hospitals to display an It’s on Us logo.

I go to UNI, but I’m not a Panther I am not a Panther. That is kind of a hard thing to say to the readers of this newspaper because you are, for the most part, Panther fans. I am a student at UNI, I am a writer for the Northern Iowan, I even follow and cheer for Panther athletics. But I don’t consider myself a Panther. I don’t even have a single piece of Panther swag. Here’s why: I transferred to UNI. When I graduated high school, I determined that I did not want to go to UNI for a number of reasons. I knew I wanted to reach out and challenge myself. I knew that I wanted to travel and see the world, annd I wanted to go somewhere where I wouldn’t be just a number. All of my friends were going to UNI. I knew that if I went to UNI I wouldn’t grow on my own and discover who I was for myself. I wanted to go to a small school so that I could be more involved with campus life, and that is exactly what I did.

I went to a small liberal arts college in Decatur, IL called Millikin University.

The minute I set foot on campus I knew that this place was where I belonged. I was a member of the dance team, I eventually joined my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, I was the sports editor and ad sales manager for the Decaturian and I was a board member of MilliSTAT (Millikin Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow).

I was a founding member of the Student Athletic Association. I was an executive officer for Panhellenic Council, I had a great work

study job working for the Dean of Academic Affairs Office and the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and I was involved. I was crazy busy, but I loved it, and I wouldn’t have traded a minute of it for anything in the world.

Then my whole life changed. I got pregnant. I moved back home to my small farm outside of Webster City.

I had my beautiful daughter.

I then transferred to UNI. I chose UNI because it was close enough to home that I could drive. It was a quite a bit of a trek, but I could do it. I only had classes two days a week that first semester, so it wasn’t hard to drive back and forth. The hardest part was leaving my three-week-old daughter to

Then my whole life changed. I got pregnant. I moved back home ... [and] had my beautiful daughter. attend classes.

Naturally, I didn’t get involved on campus. In fact, it was lucky if I remembered my teacher’s names that year, let alone making friends with classmates well enough to learn and remember their names.

At UNI I had friends that were attending, so if I needed a place to stay because of weather then I could stay with them. This is something that I took advantage of only once.

Since first coming to UNI, I have gotten a little more involved on campus. I joined the Northern Iowan first as copy editor and then as a col-

umnist, and I attend some of the forums on campus.

As I started taking more classes with my major, I was making deeper connections with my professors and, upon occasion, my classmates. But I still wasn’t making any friends. The hard part was that most of my friends were graduating. As each of them graduated, I felt like I was losing ties to the school. Last semester, the last two people I considered friends on campus graduated, moved on and found jobs. I feel all alone on campus now. It’s really hard to make friends when you only see someone in class.

This semester, my final semester at UNI, has been hard. Possibly the hardest semester since I had to drop my three-week-old daughter off at the babysitters and leave for class on the promise that I would be able to provide a better life for her.

It’s been four years since that day. I am making the hour and a half long drive every day for the first time (In the past I was always able to work my way into classes on only Monday, Wednesday and Friday or only Tuesdays and Thursdays).

The classes are harder, as they should be for a senior in her final semester. I’ve been working more and longer hours to be able to afford all the driving I do. My daughter is now three-years-old and wants to know where mommy is going all the time. M y friends are all gone, but I’m still here, tired of school but still going. I’m unable to job search because I’m so busy being a mom and trying to provide for my daughter. I am listening to my textbooks in the car so I don’t have to stay up until 2 a.m. reading before having to get up for my 6 a.m. shift at work.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Campaign spending IS scary I recently read an article which stated “campaign spending is nothing to be scared of ” because, “during the entire 2012 election cycle, Americans spent about $7 billion on political campaigning, but that is less than the $8 billion Americans spent that same year celebrating Halloween” Don’t Be Afraid of Money in Politics, Oct 23, 2014. This is a false equivalence.

Campaign spending is, in fact, something that should be keeping us up at night.

According to the Center for

Responsive Politics, in the 2012 election, only 0.40 percent of the population contributed more than $200 to political candidates, parties or PAC’s. These contributions accounted for 63.5 percent of all money raised.

When talking about Halloween spending, it’s not .40 percent of the population that is spending the majority of the money. The Koch brothers are not throwing a $900 million dollar house party. The majority of people spend a little bit for Halloween, and those that

can afford to spend more, spend more. There’s not a huge inequality. More importantly, buying costumes and candy is not equivalent to buying power and political influence.

The inequality that exists in political contributions parallels—and is directly related to—the income and wealth inequality that exits in America today. The rich get richer because they can buy political influence, and the poor get poorer because they can’t.

Use social media to spread the word using #ItsonUs. You have to demand that your Universities be held accountable. President Obama and I have made it crystal clear that schools that fail in this responsibility are in violation of Title IX and risk federal investigation and financial penalties. And each of you can make it clear that you expect nothing less.

I also encourage your colleges to partner with local rape crisis centers, local law enforcement, and women’s health centers to coordinate a robust community response and ensure that victims are supported in every way possible.

UNI celebrates student cultures UNI’s RENT KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

The Center for Multicultural Education (CME) in the upper level of Maucker Union was abuzz with activity as November’s edition of First Friday unfolded. This month’s focus, due to November being Native American Heritage Month, was on Native American culture.

Jackelin Rangel, program coordinator for the CME, explained the setup of the event. The back room of the CME was a Native American theme to add more variety of culture, which featured foods, arts and crafts.

Caitlyn Vanscoyoc, a freshman TESOL major said it is important to feature other cultures on campus.

“Our college tries to promote diversity, even though there isn’t really that much diversity,” Vanscoyoc said.

“But having events like this lets people show their diversity to other students, and that’s a good thing.”

Mark Tate, a senior TESOL Spanish major, shared similar thoughts.

“It gives people an opportunity to see more that just

Iowa,” Tate said.

For Rangel, it was important to expose students to experiences that they wouldn’t normally encounter aren’t used to.

“Culture is important because it’s helps you,” Rangel said. “It almost helps you prepare for the real world; being around something that you’re not familiar with. At the end of the day we’re all human, right? And it contributes to your holistic experience as a student here at UNI.” Events like First Friday aren’t exclusive to UNI; Rangel said that events like this are held in places like San Antonio and Chicago, as well as on a national level.

“I felt that it was important to bring all kinds of different cultures here to the CME,” Rangel said. “Feature different cultures just so that people experience and are exposed to different things not just something that they’re always used to.”

Tate, having attended for fun, admired the setup of the event.

“The people who set it up do a really good job,” said Tate.

“It’s really fun and there’s good food.”

Rangel hoped that students would not only take in the culture, but also meet new people

through the First Friday celebration.

“I hope that they engage with someone that they didn’t know was a colleague of them.

I want them to learn something new,” Rangel said. “I want them to get to know the CME and I want them to know that this is an area that they can come and be themselves.”

Unfortunately, if you miss the First Friday of a month, you will have to wait another month before for the next one. Each semester has a total of three First Friday events, each with a different theme.

Though First Friday is the CME’s primary event, the CME is open to collaborating

with students as well.

“They [students] can come into the CME at any time and reach out to us and ask to collaborate,” Rangel said. “Whether it’s [to] run a program, an initiative that they want to kind of jumpstart […] but if students come and ask for help for the CME, whether it’s funding or collaborative work or they have a new idea, I’m totally game for that” Upcoming First Friday events will feature holidays around the world, Black History Month, Women’s History Month and Asian American Month, each paired with and highlighting different cultures.

THEATRE REVIEW

COLIN MATTOX

Theatre Critic

TheatreUNI recently produced Jonathan Larson’s rock musical, “RENT” at the Strayer-Wood Theatre; it was a production for the books, tugging on your heart strings and leaving a powerful, impactful feeling with the audience.

“RENT” has won a Tony award, a Pulitzer prize and was adapted into a film. Most of the shows were sold out, indicating the show’s popularity.

While the show had never appealed to me, this specific production has changed my previous feelings toward it.

The first thing that struck me was the set. A tip of the cap is due to scenic designer, Mark Parrott.

It is large and grandiose, but humble in a way. It is meant to look like a seedy, abandoned studio in Alphabet City, New York.

Trash and candles scatter the apartment. All action that doesn’t take place in the apartment takes place on two large, scaffolding

Attendees of November’s First Friday event participated in arts and crafts activities that incorporated Native American culture.

structures positioned at either sides of the stage.

Perhaps the best part of the set was the screen hanging above the main set. It acts as the window to the studio apartment where Mark and Roger live, changing color to accommodate for the time of day and the season. In the end, it is also used to present Mark’s film that he had been working on for most of the show, which is a compilation of shots of the cast. This final vison certainly tugs at the heartstrings and reminds the audience of the biggest theme of the show: family.

Something must be said for the costumes as well, credit due to costume designer Amy S. RohrBerg.

The show is set in the early 1990’s and the costumes perfectly reflect that, from Roger’s leather jacket to Mark’s sweater vest and Mimi’s fishnet stockings.

“RENT” is a musical with virtually no speaking lines.

So the actors had the difficult task of singing and acting at the same time. There were no bad performances in the show. All the actors did extremely well under the direction of Jay Edelnant.

However, there were a few that stuck out.

Samantha Reece played Maureen, a lesbian performance artist. She really epitomizes the idea of La Vie Boheme, the celebration of Bohemianism, which is a major theme in the show.

Reece’s vocals are powerful enough to reach the audience’s stomach and make them laugh, cry and even moo like a cow. There is an energy to her performance that can best be described as uninhibited, which is a stark contrast to the cold, icy demeanor of her girlfriend, Joanne, played by Erika Bailey.

Mic Evans plays Mark Cohen, a young filmmaker and narrator. He is also one of the few characters not to be HIV positive. To put it simply, Mark is the glue that holds this de facto family together, and it is conveyed well through Evans’s performance as he is genuinely concerned for the well-being of his friends. Evans also has natural chemistry with Sam Wiegers, who plays Mark’s roommate and best friend, Roger, who struggles with AIDS. Lauren VanSpeyBroeck plays Mimi, Roger’s love interest, giving a performance that was nothing short of perfection. Her voice fit the part, and her portrayal of a drug addicted stripper with AIDS was realistic right down to the dragging of her feet and the

PAGE 7

NORTHERNIOWAN.ORG

itching of her arm. Mimi is a difficult person to portray without being overly campy, slutty or gimmicky, but VanSpeyBroech pulls it off wonderfully.

Michael Alexander plays Tom Collins, an anarchist college professor with AIDS, who falls in love with the drag queen, Angel, played

by Gary Mayfield. Without giving too much away, Alexander’s performance can best be summed up as heartbreaking. His voice has incredible resonance and range shown in the reprise

of, “I’ll Cover You”.

“RENT” is a show about finding love in a hard world and finding a foster family, a tribe that you fit into.

Love is a central theme, but it’s not the “Romeo and Juliet” love that we expect.

It is a love that can only be found through a sense of belonging. The feeling of “I’ve been here and you’ve been here and we’re together right now”. The show seemed to be over too fast and left you wanting more.

To quote the show, “no day but today.”

ANNA WIKSTROM/Northern Iowan

FILM REVIEW

Just another Bond film JOSHUA ROUSE

Film Critic

mula plot points make the movie feel very familiar and easy to get into. But that’s also where it falls short.

While “Spectre” is entertaining enough as an action film, and has a solid entry in the James Bond franchise, it lacks the heart and ingenuity that made “Casino Royale” and “Skyfall” so incredibly refreshing. It’s like the movie was made just to have another James Bond film, rather than to continue an enthralling, cinematic experience like “Skyfall.”

As stated before, “Spectre” is not a bad film. It’s just underwhelming that a director such as Mendes showed less potential than what he is known for.

After a skirmish in Mexico reveals clues to an evil organization, James Bond (Daniel Craig) seeks answers, chases shadows and comes face to face with the mysterious and powerful Spectre.

This marks the 24th Bond film, the fourth film featuring Craig playing the legendary secret agent.

“Spectre” gets some help from a well-stocked cast, including: Ralph Fiennes as M, Naomie Harris as Ms. Moneypenny, Ben Wishaw as Q, Lea Seydoux as Dr. Madeline Swan and Dave Bautista and Christoph Waltz playing the film’s villains.

“Spectre” has many throwbacks to earlier Bond films in script, set pieces and plot.

The style and suaveness of Bond are still present; Craig pulls off the “Blonde Bond” with a significant style that’s all his own.

The hulking henchman is there in the form of Bautista, always getting in Bond’s way. The shadowy organization and TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE the aloof leader of said Newest film, “Spectre,” features Daniel Craig organization are all there. in his fourth James Bond movie. The film was These typical Bond for- released on Nov. 6th.

Panthers roll over ISU for Family Weekend, 59-13 FOOTBALL

DYLAN PADY

Sports Writer

Indiana State University recently traveled to the UNI-Dome to take on the Panther’s for Family Weekend on Saturday.

Going into the game with a 4-4 record, the 17th ranked Panthers went into halftime leading with a 38-0 score and finishing it off with a final of 59-13.

Defensively, the Panthers forced five turnovers, with three interceptions and two forced fumbles; this resulted in 28 more points on the board.

“Give credit to the defense for getting us stops and special teams for giving us good field position,” said quarterback Aaron Bailey. “When we were that close inside their territory, we felt like we had to score.”

Bailey rushed for four touchdowns and connected with Charles Brown for a 10-yard touchdown completion. Bailey also completed eight passes on 13 attempts for a total of

114 yards that day.

Northern Iowa’s 59 points were the most they have scored since beating Central State, 59-0 in 2012.

Defensive end Karter Schult lead UNI’s defense with seven tackles, three of which for a loss, and 1.5 sacks.

“The way the score looked ... doesn’t look good on the scoreboard, but Indiana State is a good team. Trust me,” Schult said.

Defense held ISU to 69 yards in the first half and a total of 272 at the end of the game.

ISU quarterback Matt Adams was under pressure and, to avoid a sack, threw the ball into the hands of Tim Kilfoy, who ran it into the end zone for a 24-0 lead.

“They had a very good front seven,” said Adams.

“They brought some pressure we didn’t pick it up well and they continued to bring pressure. We have to respond and make plays so they don’t bring the

pressure, but they got us on it and kept on bringing it.”

Next week, UNI will travel to Missouri State to take on the Bears. The Bears are 1-8 and just

recently came off a 47-7 loss to Youngstown State.

The Panthers only have two games left, and after their away game against Missouri State they will wrap up their regular sea-

son action with a home game against Southern Illinois. The Panthers post-season hopes hang in the balance as they must win out to earn a playoff spot.

being the bandwagon fan. That “fair-weather” follower that will only attend a game if history is being made. UNI has an exceptional athletic

program with men’s basketball at the forefront.

So if you love sports, make it a point to go out to a game this year and see how good the show really is.

Student support in basketball: then & now OPINION

ALFRED O’BRIEN

Sports Editor

With the UNI men’s basketball team coming off of, arguably, their best season in school history last year, the Panthers have a lot to prove as a bright new chapter begins this Saturday in the McLeod Center.

If you were able to attend even one home game last season, you know how incredible the atmosphere was. When “Mcleod Madness” was in full effect, you could barely hear yourself shouting and cheering the team on among the other 7,000 fans.

Then, interestingly enough, you might wonder where your voice went as the clock winded down to a UNI victory.

The Panther faithful showed out in their support and played their part in what led to a Panther team that flaunted their second undefeated record at home.

The attendance was such a factor that a new ticketing system was set in place this

year (much to students’ skepticism) to try and control the overcrowding of the student section.

If you were like me last year, you were one of the hundreds of students that descended onto the the court after some games like a tidal wave, trying to get tickets to guarantee a seat for the next matchup.

Although students (myself included) here now weren’t able to witness UNI basketball a short six years ago, the amount of support and love that our men’s basketball team now thrives off of was literally non-existent then.

And, ironically enough, the Panthers were giving performances not at all different from what we witnessed last season.

The 2009-10 Panther season was also one of the best teams in school history; the team that would go onto the Sweet Sixteen and dub Ali Farokhmanesh as the infamous “Jayhawk Killer” of college basketball.

This all started in 2009, the only other time UNI was undefeated at home in

a season. But unfortunately, almost nobody in Cedar Falls was able to bat an eye at the Panthers that year, because barely anybody bothered to show up to the Mcleod Center in the first place, holding a mediocreat-best attendance average that year.

A quote from a former Sports Editor of the Northern Iowan expressed his concerns that season: “If you don’t want to come to the games that’s fine, it’s your life. But you’re missing a real good show....

It’s fine. That leaves plenty of room for a MVC trophy.”

That year, the Panthers went on a 15-game win streak that included one senior on the roster.

I bring this up because, while we are obviously backing our Panthers to the best of our ability right now, there have been times in the past where that clearly wasn’t the case. Especially when they were more than deserving of the support.

So with this new basketball season upon us, I ask all of my fellow Panthers to refrain from

Panthers fall to Evansville in MVC Semifinal, 1-0 BRANDON TJEPKES Staff Writer

LOGAN WINFORD/Northern Iowan

UNI ends the season vs the Purple Aces at 7-9-5. Goalkeeper Whitney Blunt tallied six saves in the game, making 97 saves on the season.

The University of Northern Iowa women’s soccer team played Evansville in the semifinal round of the Missouri Valley Conference on Friday night. The sixth-seed Panthers (7-9-5 overall) lost to the second-seed Purple Aces (6-10-2 overall), 1-0.

The lone goal of the night came very early for the Purple Aces, as Colleen Dierkes scored just 2:33 into the match for the 1-0 lead.

Evansville had two chances to extend their lead just before the 25th minute, but Panther goalkeeper Whitney Blunt saved both shots.

Blunt finished the first half with three saves.

Sarah McHugh attempted the first shot for the Panthers with just under 20 minutes left in the first half, but went wide left. The Panthers were outshot by the Purple Ace, 6-1.

The first minute of the second half tested the Panther defense.

Two very early shots were blocked and cleared out by the Panthers.

Evansville had two more quick chances just before the 50th minute. Blunt and the Panther defense came in clutch again to deny both attempts.

Right after the Blunt save, the Panthers came out attacking.

They had three good chances to put points on the scoreboard, but none hit the back of the net for the equalizer. UNI would not get another shot attempt for the rest of the match.

Evansville made a chance of their own two minutes later, but Kayla Smith’s shot was hit by the crossbar.

Blunt recorded her sixth and last save of the match in the 73rd minute.

Blunt finished the season with a career-high 97 total saves. There were no more shot attempts by either team as the game dwindled down to the 1-0 UNI loss.

UNI suffers from road tests versus Wichita, MSU VOLLEYBALL

ZACH HUNTLEY Sports Writer

The UNI volleyball team visited both Missouri State and Wichita State this weekend, falling in both matches. Taking on the Bears in Springfield, MO this Friday, the Panthers came up short with a 1-3 final score.

Traveling to face the Shockers in Wichita, KS, UNI retur ned empty handed by a 0-3 margin.

With final set scores of 14-25, 22-25, 25-19 and 16-25, the Panthers performed well on an individual level.

Junior Amie Held and freshman Bri Weber both earned double-doubles against Missouri State.

Adding 13 kills and 10 digs, Held also scored an ace against her opponent. In addition to Held’s 13 kills, Weber notched 13 kills of her own while scoring 11

digs against the Bears.

Staying involved, Piper Thomas recorded 11 kills against Missouri State as well, matching her season-best in digs was freshman Kendyl Sorge with a total of 28.

On top of her performance against the Bears this weekend, Panther Piper Thomas was elected freshman of the week for the second time this season. Thomas is one of four Panthers to take this title twice in one season, joining her current teammates Bri Weber and Amie Held.

For the first time since 2008, the Wichita State Shockers defeated UNI at home. Earning their victory by set scores 25-15, 25-16 and 25-20, Wichita State improved in the Missouri Valley Conference rankings, 12-2, while the Panthers fell, 9-6.

Coming into the homestretch, the Panthers will be taking on
