Audience members in the Center for Multicultural Education listened to John Hopkins share his experience of being discharged from the military because he is gay.

“I didn’t choose to get kicked out, but I don’t regret a single minute of it,” said Hopkins.

Part of UNI Proud’s and One Iowa’s “Pride and Progress” week, on April 3, Hopkins said he was kicked out of the military before the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy in the military was revoked in 2011.

“I served as a spokesman for gay people because I could, because I was out of the military at that time,” said Hopkins about advocacy for gay rights after being kicked out of the military.

Though Hopkins said he was well liked by many people in the military, he said, “With Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, you could be turned in by anyone.”

After the military started investigating him, Hopkins recalled many people close to him confessed they knew he was gay, but they didn’t turn him in because they liked him.

Though kicked out, Hopkins said he is not angry, and he still considers himself to be a part of the military, due to his volunteer work and his efforts with the GayStraight Alliance.

“The army is just people, and I like most of them,” said Hopkins. “So

Supreme Court.

“Of course, the rulings themselves will have significant and lasting impacts on the future of marriage equality, but the incredible amounts of (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) support seen online during the oral arguments also signifies an unprecedented amount of social change never vocalized in such a unified and powerful way until now,” said Kyle Woollums, president of One Iowa at the University of Northern Iowa. “It represents a university, a state and a country yearning and fighting for equality for their LGBT friends and family.”

The Supreme Court heard arguments for both sides, addressing the overturning of the California ban on gay marriage, Proposition 8, as well as changing the federal definition of marriage in the DOMA. Even with the outpouring of support, the extent of the outcome of the hearings is uncertain.

“While public support them from having more than for marriage equality is at 1,100 rights and privileges an all-time high, the jury is that same-sex couples have. still out when it comes to “I think it’s unfortunate support at the federal level. that human rights have to be Unfortunately, I don’t see put up to a vote, but I love nationwide marriage equal- seeing such an outpouring ity becoming a reality as of support, and I appreciate a result of these hearings, that a conversation is hapbut I desperately hope I will pening at such a large level,” be proven wrong.

Lacey Combs, triple major in nursing, family services and art studio, commented on Hopkins’s positive attitude.

“It surprised me when he was talking about when he got out of the military because of his sexuality that he didn’t really have much hatred towards them, which was really awesome,” said Combs. “It was really neat to see that he was able to stand up for what he believed and still be part of the military.”

Hopkins told his story of how he started in the military after graduating from the high school in his small hometown.

“There was a part of me that knew I was gay, but it was just denial,” recalled Hopkins.

Hopkins also expressed the importance of having allies or friends in your life, especially if you are going through something difficult like ‘coming out.’

WRS is funding a trial run of Student Health 101 to determine if it is worth the money. Greem said.

According to Green, 553 students read the magazine during the month of January with 6,700 pages read. The usage statistics, compiled by Student Health 101, revealed that as of Jan. 31, 2,448 students have read the magazine with more than 33,000 pages read.

The usage report, which is compiled by surveying students who read the magazine, showed the majority of student readers found the information in the magazine useful.

“Knowing that students who read (Student Health 101) think it is very good, is encouraging to us that we’ve made the right decision to test this for three years to reach students in a new way,” Green said. “The information is what the students want and they say it’s helpful, so the magazine is accomplishing our goal of reaching out to students and teaching them in different ways.”

Green said the next challenge was to make sure students read the magazine at least once.

“We believe if students read the magazine once, they’ll be hooked and come back to it month after month,” Green said.

With a partnership of individuals across campus pushing students to read Student Health 101, Green believes the word will get around and the magazine will continue to grow in

“In an institution where the central value is courage, they didn’t have the personal courage to say ‘I will be there for you,’” said Hopkins.

Hopkins also acknowledged that in the military “you are a soldier first, but you also have to be true to yourself. Being normal and being perfect is being your-

popularity.

According to Green, there have been no negative remarks about the magazine, just a variety of comments.

Green encourages students to read Student Health 101 because it is “packed with information that is really relevant to UNI students.”

“The magazine addresses issues and concerns of students that can benefit their college experience without the need to make phone calls or appointments,” Green said. “It also costs nothing to students and they can register to win $1,000.”

In the usage report, students shared their favorite topics, including stress management, nutrition and the most efficient ways to exercise and take care of their body.

Two students shared their views of the magazine in the usage report.

One student, identified as Belinda, said she enjoys reading the magazine because one is “never too old to learn anything about health, it’s always changing.”

“Yes, it was very helpful and gave great tips and advice to help me in my everyday life. A lot of stuff I already knew, but never really applied to my life,” a student named Katie said.

After being heavily influenced by fellow UNI students and friends on her feelings toward equality, she wanted to spread that knowledge to others who weren’t as familiar with LGBT issues.

“By just doing this simple act of changing my profile picture, I felt as

“It was cool to see that he was a very strong leader in the military,” said Combs.

“And to see someone who is of that high potential and high leadership and also be gay is very personal to me because I have a lot of friends who are gay.”

VOLUME 109, ISSUE 46

Teaching to the test is the enemy of real learning HEATHER NICHOLSON hnichols@ uni.edu

In a previous article, I wrote about the generational differences from today’s youth to our parents and grandparents. I highlighted ways in which these learners differ from decades ago both because of their constant exposure to information and technology but also because of the different attitudes under which they were raised.

Latter generations value independence and self-confidence. As parents, future parents, teachers and preservice teachers, it’s important that we understand these differences in values to create the best learning environments for our students.

But in our quest for the best education for our children, we will once again encounter yet another educational predator. I’ve struggled with the idea of writing a column about No Child Left Behind and the woes of our country’s education system.

I’ve also toyed with the idea of writing about how students (to no degree) are the same learners they were 30 or even 10 years ago. It came to me suddenly that these, in essence, are the same thought.

I ask you to ponder the idea that standardized testing forces students to learn 20-century skills in a 20-century format while living in the 21st century.

As I watch my 2-year-old son draw with his fingertip on my smartphone, I find it hard to believe that anyone (whether you’re a student, parent or government official) has the ignorance of mind to truly believe that students learn the same way today as they did so many decades ago.

So why are there mandates that require schools to test learners with an outdated, overused and overrated format?

At this point it seems like the easiest way for the federal government to monitor and label schools effecting their funding and, in turn, access to and availability of multiple resources. For example, higher performing schools receive larger funding.

But wouldn’t it stand to reason that the schools that are falling behind need

THINKSTOCK

those funds? Instead they are penalized because their students and teachers can’t perform at the levels set by their state. And yet we hypocritically preach equal access to public education for all.

Seems a bit contradictory to me.

Susan Hobart, a seasoned elementary school teacher, writes her opinion of NCLB and how it has personally affected her classroom and students.

NCLB has left a bad taste in Hobart’s mouth, as made

“

The bottom line is, we are rushed in teaching students to memorize content, which is completely ruining our nation.

”

extremely evident by her harsh criticism of the act in her article “One Teacher’s Cry: Why I Hate No Child Left Behind” published in The Progressive.

Hobart states, “The children I test are from a wide variety of abilities and back-

grounds. Whether they have a cognitive disability, speak entry-level English, or have speech or language delays, everyone takes the same test and the results are posted …

No Child Left Behind is one size fits all. But any experienced teacher knows how warped a yardstick that is.”

Hobart is right. And not only should “experienced teachers” be able to acknowledge this warped system but as pre-service teachers and parents we should be extremely aware of the differences between students and the absolute ridiculous requirement of testing all students with a one-sizefits-all format.

Not only are our children different learners today but as educators and parents we strive to provide each student with an opportunity to learn no matter their learning style. We are taught to incorporate meaningful experiences to connect with our students and motivate their learning.

We must provide multiple formats of information not for repetition’s sake but in order to reach every learner at their level. However, NCLB has our hands tied as classroom time is limited.

Certain curriculum is tested and the time teachers have to incorporate that curriculum is tightly budgeted leaving little time for diversifica-

tion in teaching methods.

The bottom line is, we are rushed in teaching students to memorize content, which is completely ruining our nation.

An article published on greatschools.org provides information for teachers and parents about many education issues including NCLB. The article “What the No Child Left Behind law means for your child” highlights what this act means for schools, parents and teachers and what the potential benefits and pitfalls are.

The Great Schools staff writes “The Civil Rights Project, formerly known as the Harvard Civil Rights Project, concluded in 2006 that NCLB is failing to close the achievement gap, won’t make its 2014 goals and has not significantly improved reading and math achievement.”

While the heart of NCLB may be in the right place, the goals are not being met and students are, ironically, being left behind. If there’s one thing that NCLB has done for us, it is this: It has made it painfully obvious that more laws and harsher mandates do not spontaneously yield positive results.

EDITORIAL

Avoiding mistakes By now, most of our readers have likely seen a rather unfortunate error on the front page of our Tuesday, April 2 issue.

The caption incorrectly read, “BASIC traveled to Jamaica over spring break to work with dead children.”

When one reads the second sentence of the caption and/or the story itself, it becomes clear that members of University of Northern Iowa’s Brothers and Sisters in Christ were working with deaf children.

It was a rather simple, key-mashing typo. Still, it makes an editor’s stomach drop to see it in print, and errors like these do matter.

The Northern Iowan is UNI’s newspaper of record.

Each issue is preserved in the university archives and can be searched via Index UNI on the Rod Library website.

Thus, records of blunders in print persist long after they are read and forgotten by those on campus to witness them.

In recent years, the NI has strived to quash typos, grammatical mistakes and factual errors.

We have added a team of volunteer editorial assistants to help proofread articles and we’ve ensured that the copy editor has more time to review headlines, captions and other elements of the print layouts.

This incident was yet another learning experience for us. We are, after all, students, and this newspaper is, after all, a place for students to learn.

While we do our best, we do make mistakes from time to time.

We ask of our readers two things: one, to be reasonably understanding when errors occur; and two, to continue pointing them out to us.

If we aren’t aware of our own mistakes, we will never learn from them.

Tell us what you want from the NI, tell us what you like to see in the NI and tell us when we’ve slipped up.

We will always appreciate the feedback.

This editorial reflects the position of the Northern Iowan’s editorial board: Kari Braumann, Linh Ta, Caitie Peterson, Jake Bemis and Amanda Blanche. All other articles and illustrations represent the views of their authors.

DINING CHANGES

Finger scanning now an option available to access dining centers MEGAN SCHAFER Staff Writer

Every student at one time or another has forgotten the one essential key to nearly all of the services at the University of Northern Iowa: their ID card. However, thanks to a new addition from the Department of Residence, losing that small rectangle of plastic won’t prevent students from accessing the dining centers. New finger scanners are available at the entrances of the dining centers so students can scan their fingers instead of their cards to use their meal plans.

“This is a service that has been added by the Department of Residence because it makes it a lot easier for students to access the dinning center,” said Pat Beck, assistant director of marketing for the DOR. “This next year we will be going to unlimited access in the dining center. Students could be coming and going six, seven times a day if they

want to, to use the dining center for meals, to use the dining center for studying, for using the dinning center for meeting their friends. So we want to make sure it is easy for them to access that and we want to make sure it is easy for our greeters to verify the identity of people coming and going.”

Vyla Eagen, senior biology major, sees this as a positive change.

“As an employee, I think it is a good thing because it gets people through the door faster. Otherwise, you have to stop and scan every person’s card and it is just a lot easier working it because people forget their cards all the time.

Like me, for instance. I forget my card all the time and I end up having to charge a lot of my meals,” said Eagen.

However, not all students see this as a necessary change.

“I think it is kind of pointless to be honest,” said Meghen Jones, sophomore English major. “I mean, it is

PRIDE WEEK

Queer Monologues kick off Pride Week AMBER ROUSE

Staff Writer

On Monday, members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community came together in the Strayer-Wood Theatre to share stories centered around their sexuality or that of a friend’s or family member’s. The event, “The Queer Monologues,” was a part of Pride Week at the University of Northern Iowa and was inspired by Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues.”

In the dimly lit theater, about 60 audience members sat, listened and watched as 13 LGBT members gave their performances. At the beginning of each story an introduction was given by one of the 13, explaining what the theme of the following story would be.

Some stories had occurred recently and others took a look back at high school. One person’s account was representative of growing up, knowing his sexuality from

the young age of 7 and dealing with the obstacles that came along the way.

Some of the themes the stories highlighted included coming out, what happens after someone comes out, the loved ones gained and lost in the struggle for acceptance, the lines between gay and straight (dealing with friendships), bullying and what happens when everything is at stake.

“I hope people connect, reflect and help others who might need it,” said Tyler Determann, senior psychology major, on what he hoped the audience would take away from the performance.

While the majority of stories shared Monday night were true and very personal, there were a few fictional stories that were based on true events.

In one performance, DJ Xayasouk, junior theatre major, portrayed what it would be like if a high school < See MONOLOGUES, page 7

faster for the people registered and it is nice for if you forget your ID card, but how much easier can it be to swipe your finger than your ID? That’s my thing. I work as a greeter, and that is boring enough as it is, but now that people can (just) scan their fingers, I just stand there to make sure it worked ok. I have even less to do.”

Another concern that can come with the use of personal information such as fingerprints is security, but Beck firmly assured that students are in no way putting themselves at risk by using the service.

“If we were concerned about the security of it, we never would have proposed this kind of program, because students trust the Department of Residence to manage their information and we wouldn’t want to compromise that at all,” said Beck. “So when we looked at a number of < See SCANNING, page 7

If somehow you don’t possess the faculties for Skype, it’s worth the investment. Especially nowadays, webcams are pretty cheap and now smartphones are able to run Skype. You get that valuable face time together, and that’s number one.

Four hours is certainly manageable but is still a decent distance. Work it out between the two of you to make trips to see one another.

Summer, of course, is typically a busy time.

I think long-distance is tough for everyone who has to go through it. I did it for four years and am not much of a fan. It can be done, however, if both parties are willing to put in the extra effort to make up for the face time that’s lost.

Ways to do this obviously include keeping communication open — you’ll have to take the time to text each other or give them a call at the end of the day just to keep them up to date on your life and hear about theirs. It will no longer be as simple as heading over to the other person’s house to hang out.

You’ll also have to get creative about your communication style, because phone calls can become mundane. Personally, I’m a big fan of the handwritten letter. Nobody does this anymore and for obvious reasons. But I think that it helps keep the excitement in the relationship as you anticipate each letter. Plus it’s just plain < See SUMMER, page 7

This year, the drag show raised $536 for CAAP. “I think these opportunities that bring awareness to the LGBTQ community are invaluable, and raising $536 for CAAP is even better,” said Evan Schares, senior political communication and global studies major.

It takes about 30 seconds to sign up, and each student has to place their finger on the scanner about four times to ensure a clear, consistent image.

“We would also like to stress that this is optional,” said Beck.

“If students don’t want to use the service for any reason, for example, if they always have their ID card with them and are just in the habit of using it, it is fine if they want to keep using their card. Students are expected to have their ID cards with them at all times, so if the system is down for some reason, they would still be able to access the dinning center with their ID card without any hold up. So we do encourage students to carry their ID cards with them at all times.”

Students can also unenroll at any time.

The duo performed “International Love” by Pitbull and Chris Brown.

Other performances included a tatted-up Lola Lustre (Steven Sanchez, senior communications major) with “Warrior”/”Die Young” by Ke$ha. Sanchez is no newcomer to the stage. He performed at the first ever Cedar Valley Pride Fest this summer and was first runner up in the recent Miss Gay Waterloo Pageant that was held at Kings & Queens Tap. “I thought it was great.

We had a lot of different performances,” said Bryson Gillespie, junior psychology major. “They just really brought a good show.”

This performance took place in the guidance counselor’s office.

This story in particular was not true, but the character was. Xayasouk based the character on himself. Sometimes the character would “slip into ‘gay mode’ as well as slip into ‘straight mode’,” Xayasouk said.

“I wrote this story to show how masculine men are meant to do masculine activities, and being gay is not within the realms of being masculine. You cannot be masculine and gay, they do not go hand in hand, or at least that is how society portrays it,” said Xayasouk.

Another performance was more personal, centered around what it would be like to have a family torn apart by gay marriage.

“Our wedding is going to be beautiful” was the opening statement of Lauren Fontaine’s piece. The senior elementary education major shared her story from her fiancée’s point of view. Since her fiancée’s family disapproves of their engagement, sharing this story left some of the audience members in tears.

“I’m friends with most of the people here tonight and Lauren’s was the most moving for me,” said senior elementary education major Kristina Srog.

“Her story was more of her fiancée’s life. (Bri) could easily choose family and church over her and vice versa. Letting these people know I care by coming tonight is empowering.

I can’t describe the feeling.”

In some stories, self-mutilation was a factor in dealing with the everyday stresses of struggling to be true to oneself.

Katie Schramp, senior criminology major, dealt with her

parents reading her diary in high school. That was how her parents found out about her sexual orientation.

“For about a year they acted as if nothing happened,” said Schramp. “It got to a point where I was out yet I wasn’t.

After a while I just stopped hiding it, but I don’t make a big show of being gay. If you know me, you know who I am.”

Some wrote their monologue because they were inspired by those who read theirs at last year’s event. Others wrote because they were inspired by their friends.

“I just felt a need to write it.

I hope people will see the struggle and encourage others,” said Nina Savage, senior in biology.

“Doing this event during Pride Week was just a way for me to gain more acceptance in who I am, for me to grow, learn, become a better person,” said Xayasouk.

it will (hopefully) be very exciting and you’ll appreciate each minute spent together.

Make sure you plan out a few times throughout the summer to visit each other, before you get too busy and it no longer becomes an option.

Sometimes with jobs, we have to plan far in advance just to get a weekend off.

Long-distance relationships can work for some people, so don’t get discouraged just yet — you may find that you’re both very good at it.

It will take some time, that’s

for sure. But in the end it can all be considered a learning experience. You’ll know the limits of your relationship and you’ll be able to see if it can withstand the test of time and distance, which are the hardest feats to overcome.

UNI ties for 11th place in Arkansas

VOLUME 109, ISSUE 46

OPINION

UNI men’s basketball could be best in MVC next season MAT MEYER

Sports Columnist

With the University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team’s season coming to a sudden end, all eyes turn to the possibilities of next season. The team will have one of the best chances to take the Missouri Valley Conference crown next year due to increased talent and the end of Creighton University’s time in the Missouri Valley Conference.

On top of all of the UNI players returning next year with more experience, the Panthers are adding five new recruits – three of whom are ranked at their various positions. It is unclear if incom-

ing freshman Bennett Koch, younger brother of Jake Koch and Adam Koch, will indeed see playing time, but having another player like the older Koch brothers will definitely add some spark and encouragement to the younger lineup.

Along with Bennett Koch will be Iowa City West High School senior guard Jeremy Morgan, who has gone undefeated while winning two Iowa state championships over the last four years. The Panthers have also recruited Ankeny High School’s powerforward Ted Friedman.

If this isn’t enough, they will be joined by incomingsophomore transfer from < See BASKETBALL, page 9

Sports Writer

The University of Northern Iowa men’s golf team finished in a tie for 11th place at the Arkansas State University Red Wolf Intercollegiate Tuesday in Jonesboro, Ark. The team shot a combined 903, which was 46 strokes behind tournament-winner Austin Peay State University.

The Panthers were led by freshman Jacob Bermel, who shot a 74 in the final round of play. Bermel shot a 75 in the opening round of play Monday and managed to

shoot back-to-back 74s in the final two rounds to close out the tournament with a total score of 223 and a tie for 31st place individually.

Following Bermel on the scorecard for the Panthers were Braden Gaal and Yarri Bryn, who each rounded out the event with a final score of 226 through three rounds of play, putting them in a tie for 45th place. Gaal also shot a team-low 72 in the second round of play Monday evening.

Rounding out the scorecard for UNI were Glenn Walls and Kyle Driscoll, who finished the tournament in

60th and 69th place, respectively. In the final round of play, Walls carded a 75 and Driscoll shot a 77.

With only a week off to practice and prepare, the Panthers will head to Columbia, Mo., to compete in the Columbia Orthopaedic Group Mizzou Intercollegiate hosted by the University of Missouri on April 8. A few weeks after that, the Panthers will partake in the Missouri Valley Conference Championships in Cape Girardeau, Mo., on April 29, where they look to top last season’s third-place finish.

SOFTBALL

Spring football speculation is in the air Wednesday softball SEAN DENGLER

Sports Columnist

The University of Northern Iowa spring football game is coming up soon and it is a chance to see the Panthers in action once again. This is a crucial year for the Panthers after coming off of an abysmal 5-6 2012 campaign. The Panthers need to bounce back strong to prove they are still a perennial power in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.

Look for quarterback Sawyer Kollmorgen to have a strong 2013 campaign. Within the past 10 years, each UNI quarterback has seen a jump in passing touchdowns from year one to year two. Former quarterback Tirrell Rennie improved his passing touchdown total by six, and Eric Sanders improved from 15 to 23 touchdown passes. Expect Kollmorgen to likewise improve.

David Johnson is coming back from a solid

2012 campaign. Johnson has been improving his rushing totals for the past two years while splitting time with Carlos Anderson. Now that Anderson has graduated, expect Johnson to eat up more carries and produce more yards.

Johnson is also quite the receiver for the Panthers. As the fourth most targeted receiver, this duality in roles can create quite the havoc for opposing defenses.

The Panthers will have to replace speedster Terrell Sinkfield at the wide receiver position.

With the combination of Chad Owens, Brett LeMaster and Johnson, the Panthers should have no problem filling his shoes since the three accounted for over half of the team’s receptions. Expect all three to see their receptions and yards rise as we head into the new season.

game vs. ISU postponed JAKE BEMIS

Sports Editor

The University of Northern Iowa softball game against Iowa State University has been postponed due to poor field conditions at Robinson-Dresser Field.

The Panthers were scheduled to face ISU at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, but the cold temperatures earlier this week forced the game to be pushed back.

“Right now it still looks like there’s a lot of frost com-

ing up,” coach Ryan Jacobs said on Monday. “We’re going to use (Monday) afternoon to get the ice and leftover snow off the field, which will help us dry it out the best that we can.”

The two teams are expected to make the game up later this spring.

UNI returns to action Saturday when they travel to Evansville, Ind., to face the University of Evansville Purple Aces.

The Panthers have not played at home since Feb. 10.

more powerful, the defensive side of the ball may struggle.

The Panthers will lose five of their top eight tacklers on defense, accounting for 294 tackles and about 38 percent of the total team tackles.

The Panthers will also lose their top three interception

defenders in JJ Swain, Wilmot Wellington and Varmah Sonie. UNI’s secondary will have to come together fast next year to stop the passing attacks of the MVFC. I have faith that the Panthers will be very competitive next year. Coach Mark Farley only has two years below .500 on his resume, and has never had two years in a

row under .500.

With those types of numbers, he should shore up the defense to come out strong in the fall. The Panthers should contend for the MVC crown this season.

Although it is just a scrimmage game, it will be exciting to see what the Panthers will preview for the fall.

the University of Tennessee Wes Washpun. Washpun is a Cedar Rapids Washington High School graduate with a 40-plus inch vertical and all kinds of defensive potential.

These are just a couple of the incoming high-impact players who will be able to put UNI at the top.

I would also like to point out that I am saying this with the understanding that Wichita State University is currently preparing for their Final Four game against the University of Louisville, with a shot at a national title going to the victor.

However, the Shockers will be losing some key seniors, including dynamic scorer Malcolm Armstead and tough rebounder Carl Hall. These loses, along with Creighton’s exit from the conference, will enable head coach Ben Jacobson’s exciting recruiting class and current youngsters to shine on top of one of the most underrated conferences in the nation.

You may be wondering who will take the place of

leading scorer Anthony James or the versatile Jake Koch, but half of that concern lies with trust in Coach Jacobson and the current players.

Upcoming junior Seth Tuttle is on pace to become one of the best players in UNI history with his great scoring and rebounding ability. With big time players from Wichita State, Creighton and even Illinois State University graduating or leaving, Tuttle has a chance at a great season with a fresh looking Panther team. He will also be joined by upcoming junior and twoyear starting point guard Deon Mitchell, who should work well with the newly formed talent on the team.

There’s a lot to question about the upcoming season for the Panthers, and everyone wants them to make another run in the NCAA tournament at some point. Coach Jacobson has done some great recruiting over the last couple years and has developed his younger core players to the point that taking the MVC title next year is a great possibility, and, just maybe, an NCAA tournament run isn’t too far out of the picture.
