The University of Northern Iowa is home to the world’s only “spore detector” system for anthrax. Michael Walter, associate professor of biology, and several students use this system to find viruses that bind to anthrax spores.

Walter said the “Spore Detector Project,” as he and his financial supporter, the UNI Foundation, call it, has been rewarding in that it “may someday lower the threat of anthrax spores and other agents.”

Walter said engineers in Waverly built the control box ‘concept,’ but he originally designed it.

According to Walter, the control box puts an air sample that has bacterial viruses in it into the machine. The viruses

then bind to the anthrax spores, Bacillus anthracis, if they’re present, sometimes even killing them.

“Students work on isolating and characterizing the bacterial viruses to find ones that will work in the anti-anthrax program,” Walter said. “They, as of date, have about eight isolates that will bind to Bacillus anthracis.

“Some of the bacterial viruses will kill the bacteria, but all we’re interested in is

whether the bacterial viruses will bind to the anthrax spores in the detector system,” Walter added.

Walter said the project started several years ago, when he began reading up on the anthrax agent.

“We have worked on this since the summer of 1998,” Walter said. “A vast majority of the workers were undergraduates, with a couple graduate Photo Courtesy of University Relations students helping.”

The headline “Beck says possibility of $12 million for UNI is slim” in the Feb. 7 issue of the Northern Iowan was inaccurate. The story also mistakenly reported that Beck said the chances of UNI receiving the requested additional $12 million is slim.

It has not been decided whether UNI will receive the additional $12 million over three years; Beck said she and the university remain hopeful and optimistic that UNI will receive the first $4 million for the upcoming school year.

senior sociology and psychology double major. “It’s a celebration of education in the true spirit of a university.”

According to www.darwinweek.com, Darwin Week is an annual week that “celebrates science.” Since 2009, the event has branched out from focusing on evolution to include other branches of science such as astronomy, psychology and physics.

“It’s important to get that scientific perspective, but we (UNIFI) also have a great many humanist values,” Derringer said.

Derringer said the week had four overarching themes, one for each day: skepticism on Monday, sexuality on Tuesday, diversity on Wednesday and origins on Thursday.

He said each day’s events will focus on the respective theme with panel discussions, UNI faculty and student presentations, and, finally, a keynote speaker. All of the events will take place in the Center for Multicultural Education in the upper floor of Maucker Union and are free and open to the public.

“Darwin Week is a great way to make this feeling as accessible to as many people as possible.”

UNIFI has been planning this year’s Darwin Week since April 2011, Derringer said. UNIFI selects an officer whose sole responsibility is Darwin Week; this year Joe Enabnit, a senior philosophy major, is the Darwin Week coordinator.

“It’s been a real collaborative experience,” Derringer said. “It’s less hierarchical than it has been in the past. Our group dynamic has changed significantly.”

Derringer looks to beat last year’s record of more than 1,400 attendees and “hopes very many people come.”

He encourages everyone to come this year as he said Darwin Week is “going to be really great.”

FROM THE EDITORIAL STAFF

Complacent senate finally shows signs of life

W

ith tight budgets across the state, the possibility of program cuts ever looming and student tuition shouldering the majority of the university’s general fund, the Northern Iowa Student Government is perhaps more important than ever before. If only every senator thought the same way.

The NISG senate’s problems are many, but chief among them are a lack of initiative and responsibility. The senate serves an important role: it represents the voice of the student body to the administration and local, state and national legislatures, and it controls more than $100,000 of student fees for student organizations and NISG initiatives.

This is a big responsibility, and one would imagine the students in this governing body would take their positions seriously. While some certainly do, they unfortunately appear to be the exception to the norm.

This year’s senate has experienced attendance issues, with roughly four to five senators absent during meetings in a body that has yet to have a senator fill every seat (Campbell Hall, Lawther Hall, Dancer Hall and University Apartments are all currently unrepresented, and there’s one vacant off-campus seat as well).

Moreover, this year’s senate has retention issues. When a seat becomes empty due to a senator’s removal or resignation, a new senator is appointed by the Speaker and approved by the senate. Currently, 16 out of 33 senators were not elected, and 13 senators were elected with less than 30 votes, which means that only about onefourth of current senators were elected with more than 30 votes.

Unsurprisingly, that minority of senators tends to speak up the most during meetings and bring new initiatives and legislation to the table, though there are certainly notable exceptions.

Some of those senators carry previous NISG experience — an absolute rarity — while others came from positions of leadership in the university.

What’s the result of all this?

A complacent senate. Many committees have canceled meetings because they were unable to make quorum, many precedents set by previous senators have been forgotten, and several important pieces of legislation

were passed with little debate, if any.

We expect a lot more from the stewards of students’ money and representatives of students’ voices.

However, there’s hope at the bottom of NISG’s box of chaos: suddenly, out of nowhere, senate remembered how to debate. Some senators began doing important research on legislation before the larger body discussed it, and meeting times suddenly doubled from an increase in the amount of legislation and in the scrutiny given to each document.

This change was sparked by a debate now dubbed by many senators as “Buttongate,” in which senators argued over whether or not to fund buttons, an item not prohibited in its guidelines but for which previous Organization and Finance Committees had denied funding. After a long and heated discussion, senate voted to follow the set precedent in order to treat organizations with equity.

Since then, the body has been more outspoken during meetings and seems to be taking its role more seriously, though much of the debate stems from miscommunication and misunderstandings.

We applaud the senators who are willing to have apparently trivial debates because they recognize their greater significance in the operation of NISG and its relation to students, and we applaud those who make tough, unpopular decisions with a larger picture in mind. What’s great is that major changes are coming from

these debates — for example, the Organization and Finance Committee is meeting Monday to review and revise its funding guidelines in order to be more transparent and open to student organizations seeking funding.

And so, as a result of this seemingly pointless debate, NISG is changing for students’ benefit.

Imagine what senate would have been like all year if every senator had that passion, if every senator attended more meetings and engaged in important debates, if every senator brought initiatives to the table.

Imagine if every senator had to meet with students and listen to their concerns in order to even be elected.

Fortunately, this dream can become a reality. The senate is shrinking in half next year, dropping from 38 seats to 19.

With fewer seats, ideally, each senator will need to truly campaign to get elected and will be held accountable to their campaign promises. But this can only happen if students who are passionate about serving their peers dedicate themselves to that calling; if they’re willing to do a challenging, thankless and seemingly insignificant job to the benefit of the student body.

And this can only happen if students take an interest in who represents them. Ensuring that student voices are heard is more important than ever; make sure you have the best voices of the crowd representing your interests and vote in the NISG elections this February.

NISG ELECTIONS

Campaigning abroad

L

ast spring, I had the privilege of studying abroad in Oviedo, Spain. Living in another country proved to be an invaluable experience that I think more students should take advantage of. While I was there, I had several discussions with friends who had been involved in the Northern Iowa Student Government in the past and thought I should consider being a senator. I eventually agreed to run, and an NISG-experienced friend agreed to handle my campaign in Cedar Falls since I obviously couldn’t physically be there.

Had I known how tedious and stressful just getting my name on the ballot would be, I may have reconsidered.

The first issue was getting the required number of student signatures from abroad.

Luckily, I had a friend who knew what he was doing and took care of that requirement for me. Without him, this first step wouldn’t have been possible.

The second obstacle I encountered was figuring out how I could sign the form that was required of me to run. It seemed ridiculous to have to complete such a task considering that I was thousands of miles away, but the election commission held that I needed to find a way. I was fortunate enough to eventually find a scanner, but it’s possible that not all students abroad will have easy access to one.

The final and most troubling hurdle to getting my name on the ballot was the fact that certain members of the election commission didn’t think I should be able to run since I was abroad. Dealing with these types of conflicts is difficult enough when one is here and can sort things out face-to-face, but it was particularly stressful to try and figure out what I could do when my only modes of communication were online.

Again, I was lucky in that my friend knew just who to talk to so that he could get

the election commission to reconsider; most students abroad don’t have that privilege. While they did eventually decide I could run, I question why it was an issue in the first place. Isn’t Study Abroad something that UNI advocates? Why should students be punished for taking advantage of this experience?

Luckily, the current election commission has expressed to me their commitment to making sure my difficulties running while abroad are something of the past. They will try to work with whomever is considering a senate campaign and figure out how best to fulfill all the requirements in a reasonable manner.

If you are abroad and are considering running, here’s what you can do: First, go to the NISG website read the information provided about the upcoming elections.

Second, find the contact information for the election commission and let them know you wish to run from abroad.

They will point you in the right direction from there.

Finally, as my experience has shown, make sure you have at least one friend who can help you manage your campaign here at UNI. This needs to be someone you can trust to turn in necessary forms, and also help distribute any campaigning materials you may choose to use. It may take more work than running from Cedar Falls, but don’t be discouraged from taking part in NISG just because you aren’t physically here. Senate needs students with diverse views and experiences, and your time abroad helps make you a more qualified candidate.

philosophy and Spanish from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Elvis brought back to life on GBPAC stage ELISSA TERRY Staff Writer

The music, costumes, and voice of Elvis were brought back to life this week at the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center in “Elvis Lives!”, a tribute to the King. The hair, clothes, songs and even the crowd have stayed the same throughout the years – the only thing that has changed is the people making the music.

As the curtain came up and a film started to play, the audience grew quiet. The film was a documentary of Elvis’ life from his own perspective. It started off with his first performance as a child in Memphis, Tenn., then highlighted his high school years.

As that part of the film ended, the lights dropped down. The music grew louder and Elvis’ jacket shined in

the stage lights as he turned around and began to sing his first song of the night, making the audience go wild.

The first songs Elvis sang were from the 1950s, including “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Blue Suede Shoes” and “Teddy Bear.”

As his last song ended, it was back to the screen to hear Elvis talk about his Hollywood days. Another Elvis then took the stage for Blue Hawaii. This one sang songs such as “Rock-A-Hula Baby” and “Blue Hawaii.”

Then it was time for AnnMargret to join Elvis on stage with Viva Las Vegas.

The two performers sang and reenacted the songs and scenes from the hit movie “Viva Las Vegas,” which was much-loved by the foot-tapping audience.

After intermission, the screen came up and pictures of Elvis in his military uni-

form were displayed on the screen, highlighting the contrast between that aspect of Elvis’ life and his well-known Hollywood “dream life.”

The second act started with a third Elvis singing songs from “G.I. Blues,” along with other songs he had performed before he was drafted.

The last Elvis entered the stage wearing one of the most iconic Elvis costumes – the long white jumpsuit and cape with the American eagle on the back. The costume matched the spirit of his patriotic songs “America the Beautiful” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.”

As all four of the actors from each era of Elvis’ life entered the stage to sing their last song together. When they did, the audience stood up, cheering and applauding for the old King of Rock ‘n’ Roll: Elvis Presley.

He said, she said:

What should you get...

{ {

someone you have a crush on?

someone you just started dating?

{

someone you’ve been dating a long time?

you d l u o h s what ?

EVER get

N

He said:

She said:

If you aren’t even dating yet, don’t get them anything per se, unless you have a fantastic idea about something they really, really like. Just ensure that it’ll be a pleasant surprise and it won’t freak them out. I’d say get them an… offer. Coffee, dinner, what have you. If they’re just a crush, don’t worry about gifts – worry about establishing the relationship.

It’s tricky buying for someone who you just have a crush on.

You don’t want to come on too strong, but you also want to let the person know you’re thinking about them. If you’re a guy, maybe have some flowers delivered to the girl’s house.

If you’re a girl, give him a super cheesy Valentine’s Day card (you know, the ones we would hand out in elementary school).

I’d say stick to the classics. You’re still in the young state, so the classics are cute… and cute is good. Cute is effective. Cute is what you shoot for. The chocolates, the roses, the new gold necklace... well not the last one, but you see what I’m saying. Throw in an original spin if you have the time and personalize it for him or her so it isn’t just, “Meh, got you flowers and chocolate; can we make out now?” Make it meaningful, but keep it simple.

If you’ve only been dating someone for a few months, your best bet is to go with the typical Valentine’s Day “I love you” package, complete with a heart-shaped box full of chocolates and a giant stuffed animal. Girls, if you see something your guy might like, go ahead and get it for him, but don’t feel like you have to be giving a Valentine’s Day present. In fact, when it comes to a lot of couples, the girl won’t get the guy anything for Valentine’s Day. If you do want to get him something, give him a CD or a movie the two of you can watch together.

Get the classics out of the way a few days beforehand.

It’s unexpected. Once you have the repeats out of the way, get him or her something really meaningful.

Something special to them, just like you would a holiday or birthday present. I think this one-two combo could really pack a punch. (See what I did there?)

Since it’s been a long time, chances are you two are pretty serious. Guys, this Valentine’s Day get your girl a nice piece of jewelry, possibly a heart-shaped necklace, or you could get her a gift card for a massage. For girls, this is a good time to get him concert tickets to see his favorite band.

Short list of this would be: bodily fluid, locks of hair, clothing that is too large (please check this so a street brawl doesn’t start), items that are too soon (pets, jewelry, marriage license, joint bank account, etc), greeting cards with annoying songs attached to them, or bills for any of the nice items you bought for them.

Under no circumstance should you give a girl something you picked up last minute at a gas station. A little teddy bear with a mug from the Kwik Star just won’t do it. If you’re scrambling to find something to give her at the last minute, go to the store and pick up a few of her favorite things, then make her dinner.

Wichita State routs UNI 82-57 behind hot shooting BRAD EILERS Sports Editor

The Wichita State University men’s basketball team nailed their first five 3-pointers of the game Wednesday night and cruised to an 82-57 victory over the University of Northern Iowa Panthers at Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, Kan. The Shockers (21-4, 12-2 MVC) shot 55.9 percent (33for-59) from the floor for the game, including 63.2 percent (12-for-19) from 3-point range. Senior guard Joe Ragland led Wichita State with 19 points. Four Wichita State players reached double figures in scoring.

The Panthers (16-10, 6-8 MVC) fell behind the Shockers early on in the game and never held a lead. Wichita State opened the game on a 17-9 run and eventually pushed the lead to as much as 21 points in the first half

at 43-22 with 3:28 remaining. However, UNI responded with a 13-0 run to end the first half, pulling within 43-35 at the break.

UNI continued to chip away at the WSU lead early in the second half and pulled to within 47-44 with just under 18 minutes remaining in regulation. However, Ragland knocked down a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession, which ignited a 17-3 run for the Shockers.

The Panthers were never able to regain momentum and scored just 13 points over the remaining 17 minutes.

Freshman center Seth Tuttle led UNI in scoring, recording 15 points and three rebounds. Junior guard Marc Sonnen chipped in with 11 points, nine of which came off three 3-pointers. Junior forward Jake Koch contributed nine points and three < See BASKETBALL, page 9

Had a BCS playoff system been in place this year, Brandon Weeden (3) and Oklahoma State still would have had a chance to compete for a national title instead of being left out of the discussion.

Delany’s BCS proposal: An appropriate first step BRENNAN ACTON MATT FININ/Northern Iowan

The University of Northern Iowa Panthers beat the South Dakota State Jackrabbits by a final of 25-12 in the West Gym Sunday.

MATTHEW BLUMBERG Sports Writer

The University of Northern Iowa wrestling team walked away from the West Gym with two more Western Wrestling Conference dual meet victories last Sunday.

First, the Panthers (7-5, 5-1 WWC) handed the visiting North Dakota State Bison (5-7, 2-1 WCC) their first WWC loss of the year, 22-18. Then the Panthers turned around and

defeated South Dakota State (4-6, 0-3 WCC) by a final of 25-12.

UNI’s biggest victory came in the hands of junior David Bonin (157 pounds), who was able to defeat NDSU’s No. 11-ranked Steven Monk in a close 3-2 decision. The victory broke a team tie and was the spark necessary to send the Panthers to a team victory. With the win against NDSU, a win later in the day < See WRESTLING, page 9

Sports Columnist

After years of scrutiny, the Bowl Championship Series may finally be in the first stages of replacement. The newly proposed idea, while not a monumental step towards perfection, would still provide more merit than the BCS does now. The BCS currently selects a winner based on biased projections and polls, and any change towards a playoff would provide some

solace from a broken system.

Jim Delany, the Big Ten Conference commissioner, was an avid opponent to the yearly suggestion of eliminating the Bowl Championship Series in college football. He has previously argued fervently against a playoff system. In some ways, he has become the spokesperson for the anti-BCS coalition that seems to have formed across the nation’s major conferences. < See BCS, page 9

BCS continued from page 8

This stance makes Delany’s recent efforts perplexing.

The Chicago Tribune reported Tuesday that Delany and the Big Ten have proposed a new postseason resolution to the controversial system that has been in place since 1998. Their solution is to use the BCS computer rankings to set up a playoff system. The top four bowls (Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl) would now become the penultimate matchup for the winning teams. A win would send them into the BCS National Championship game.

Delany and the Big Ten had previously argued against a playoff system for a few reasons. First, scheduling becomes a daunting endeavor — student-athletes are dealing with finals as well as practices in late December.

By extending the postseason by even one more game, the stress on the players increases exponentially. Even adding a conference championship was a contested topic for a while in the Big Ten. Second, college football programs and conferences make absurd amounts of money. In other words, the ever-increasing number of bowl games means an equally absurd amount of money rolling in to schools nationwide.

In this regard, the newly proposed system makes for an excellent replacement to the current contentious one.

All the present bowl games would be left intact, including the BCS games. The only exception is the current BCS Championship game, which would be replaced by a playin setup matching some mix of the top four bowls.

If this newly proposed structure is introduced, it would not be much of a shake-up. It certainly is not as effective as the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly I-AA) arrangement.

FCS teams do not have to rely as heavily on politics and preseason polls to impress the computer system that the BCS uses to determine rankings. Instead, they have the relatively justifiable pressures of winning their conference and earning a place in the 20-team playoff bracket.

While programs like the University of Northern Iowa football team do not share the same opportunity for massive revenues that a bowl systems allots, they are fortunate enough to play in a relatively fair system that is not heavily dictated by media, coaching and computer rankings.

The current proposition would be a great first movement towards a just postseason rather than a winner selected by an arbitrary point system that is as complicated as it is ludicrous.

With the loss, the Panthers currently sit at 6-8 in Missouri Valley Conference play with four MVC games remaining. UNI is currently tied for sixth place in the

MVC standings, two games out of a third-place tie with Illinois State University and Missouri State University.

The Panthers return to action Saturday when they host the Illinois State Redbirds (16-9, 8-6 MVC) at 7 p.m.

against SDSU and the win against Iowa State in last week’s dual, Bonin was awarded the WWC Wrestler of the Week award. This is the second time in Bonin’s career that he has won this distinguished honor.

Along with Bonin, No. 11-ranked Joe Colon (133 pounds), No. 6-ranked Ryan Loder (184 pounds), Taylor Kettman (197 pounds) and Blayne Beale (285 pounds) all finished Sunday with a pair of wins to lead the Panthers to their two team victories.

Colon continued his strong season with a major decision and a technical fall against the conference foes. Not to be outdone by his teammate, sophomore Ryan Loder countered with a 16-1 and a 17-2 pair of technical falls.

Kettman and Beale each were able to close out the Panther team victories, Kettman with two decisions and Beale with a decision and major decision against the visitors from the Dakotas.

The Panthers have had some time to rest this week with no tournaments or duals scheduled. During their time off, they have been able to prepare for the 2012 NWCA/

Cliff Keen National Duals, which will be held in Ames on Sunday. The Panthers have been matched up against No. 24-ranked Virginia Tech. The Panthers are ranked fifth in their region and Virginia Tech (7-4, 3-1 ACC) is ranked fourth. UNI will also compete against another opponent depending upon the outcome of their dual against the Hokies.

UNI head coach Doug Schwab is familiar with the Hokies’ program, having served as an assistant coach for the program for two consecutive seasons, from 20052006.

The regular season is winding down, and this is one of the Panthers’ final tune-ups before they host the NCAA West Regional (Sunday, March 4), which helps wrestlers qualify for the NCAA Championships (March 14-17) in St. Louis.
