Shot UNI professor will return Monday JONATHAN HAUSLER

While traveling to New York via the Ohio Turnpike to visit family
over Thanksgiving break, a 12-gauge shotgun bullet passed through the passenger side window of Julie Husband’s car and struck her in the jaw.
“I remember it very clearly, like any moment when you have a huge adrenaline rush,” emailed Husband, the interim department head and professor of languages
and literatures. “It was surreal.” Her husband, Jim O’Loughlin, was driving at the time. He is also an English professor at UNI.

The bullet was lodged in Husband’s right jaw and she was rushed to Toledo Hospital for surgery.
he University of Northern Iowa community can delve and learn about different parts of the world, thanks to a collection of artifacts that Rod Library is displaying on the first floor. The exhibit, “Treasures: A Sampling of the UNI Museums Collection” includes jewelry, a yearbook from 1905, pottery and a Chihuahua statue. Artifacts come from places such as Morocco, Indonesia, Egypt and Peru. “Our initial message with the current display is to underscore the variety of the collections and the usefulness they may have to
students as they engage in class assignments and presentations,” said Katherine Martin, head of collections and museums. The pieces in these exhibits used to be on display at the UNI Museums, located on Hudson Road. However, the museum closed in June 2012, due to the building’s maintenance and as an effect of the other reductions and cuts UNI made in that year, said Martin. Since the museum’s closure, Rod Library has taken over management of the museum’s collections. The current exhibit is only a small peek into what the UNI Museums collection has to offer. Martin said there about 110,000 artifacts the museum has col-
lected since 1892. “There was a small scientific collection, sometimes referred to as the ‘cabinet of curiosities,’ that supported largely biology and geology, and it grew from there,” Martin said. “Many of the early additions were objects collected by or otherwise obtained by university faculty who were instrumental in developing and leading the museum.” Martin said there are now artifacts from four different fields, including anthropology/ world cultures, history, geology and biology. The exhibits are a way to display some of these artifacts to the public.

To help students and community members understand the Affordable Care Act, which goes into effect Jan. 1, 2014, the University of Northern Iowa held information sessions in Maucker Union on Tuesday. “It’s the uninsured people that need to pay attention (to the ACA),” said Stephene Moore, regional director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. “If you are already covered, you’re fine.” Moore noted that the ACA isn’t government insurance. It is the government helping uninsured Americans receive insurance they can afford.
