Bancroft-Smithe and White reflect on year in office KARI BRAUMANN

Executive Editor

It has been two weeks since Jordan Bancroft-Smithe and KaLeigh White vacated the Northern Iowa Student Government office. At the end of their term as 2012-13 student body president and vice president, respectively, the two have mixed feelings as they move forward.

“For me, it’s a little bittersweet,” White said.” Jordan and I really enjoyed this year and I feel like we ended on a good note.

But at the same time, I have a very strong attachment to the university and to NISG. It’s a little sad to be done with my job, because I really enjoyed it.”

In appraising their work in office, Bancroft-Smithe and White both said they felt their administration was a success

overall.

“I think Jordan and I – we go back and forth about this all the time – we always have the feeling we could have gotten more done,” White said. “But we’re told that we did a good job and at the end of the day, I feel like we did well and that we were successful.

“I think that’s part of where the sadness leaving and saying goodbye comes from,” White continued. “We always wanted to do more and there are things on our platform that didn’t get checked off, and that we’re hoping we could help Tom (Madsen) and Blake (Findley) accomplish.”

Bancroft-Smithe and White’s 10-page platform is covered in color-coded highlighting to indicate work they finished, projects begun but not finished, tasks accomplished by others and not the administration directly, and projects that they didn’t do.

According to Bancroft-Smithe, they accomplished approximately three-fourths of the platform.

For White, one of her key achievements was her work with the Educational Policy Commission, which evaluated the attendance and makeup work policy.

The policy was evaluated shortly after an incident last fall where a grievance was filed against psychology professor Cathy DeSoto, but the grievance was not the sole impetus for evaluating the policy, White said.

nowadays, people are more frequently congregating around the bar area and wanting to socialize and meet new people.

Because of this recent trend, he decided to set the bar up so that everyone can see everyone, which is why Social House has not a single private booth.

“The one thing I like about the Hill is the bars up here are already different from each other, so I wanted to make sure we weren’t doing something that was already done up here,” said Dehmlow.

From the 34-ounce mugs of beer to the Big Buck Hunter leagues, Social House is doing just that. The bar also features 16 beers on tap, as well as a rooftop beer garden, which Dehmlow hopes to use to host live music.

Further down the Hill in the building that once housed Mojo’s is Gingers Pub, another new addition to College Hill.

“College Hill has always been there and will continue to be a staple location for local business and customers,” he said. “The change that has occurred was simply one single corporation decided to pull out of the area and left three empty storefronts.

In his lecture, Matus focused on Chile’s recent emergence in the global economy and increased trade with the United States.

“We have a new attitude in Chile: go to the big leagues,” said Matus to a group of about 50 attentive students and staff. “We want to break our mold, break our limits.”

The event coincides with the 30th year of partnership

were smaller, I believe, prior to that particular incident,” White said. “But I think that when we were reviewing the policy, the committee tried very carefully not to have a knee-jerk reaction because of everything that happened. We actually avoided using that as an example in discussions so that it was a nonbiased discussion of the policy. So I definitely think that (incident) was the thing that lit the fire, but hopefully it solved more than just that problem.”

The search for the University of Northern Iowa’s next president occupied a great deal of Bancroft-Smithe’s time this past winter, with more than a thousand pages of résumés, CVs and cover letters to review over break followed by a long process of narrowing the field. However, he counts it as one of his most rewarding experiences in office.

“I learned a lot about the university that most people will never know – about how the university works and sort of clicks together. But it was very time-consuming and I think I underestimated that,” BancroftSmithe said.

Though every NISG administration comes into office with its own set of goals, the last few administrations have been building off of one another’s work, according to Bancroft-Smithe and White.

between UNI and the University of Tarapaca, located in Arica, Chile.

Hundreds of students and staff have traveled to and from the two universities with great success.

“I did not know much about the partnership, since it exists outside of any government influence, but it is amazing,” said Matus about the two universities. “Here I find myself in the middle of a very successful partnership. (It’s) a great example of my country’s achievements as well as the United States.’”

Matus’ event was the fourth of the Diplomat Series, which has featured the likes of Director General Baushuan Ger of Taiwan and Consul General Thomas Schnoell of Austria.

“I honestly only came because of a class I’m in,” said junior marketing major Andy Erenberger. “Otherwise I wouldn’t have known anything about it … But I learned a lot about Chile and their economy.

(Matus) was a great speaker, too.

He even cracked a few jokes.”

In his closing remarks, Matus fielded a few questions from the

audience.

Of these, one was directed at the current unrest among some of Chile’s citizens, which has resulted in strikes and protests that have received worldwide press coverage.

“Our rapid growth has come with a fast-growing middle class,” said Matus on the subject. “This, and an increase in consumer empowerment, leads to rising expectations that aren’t being met for everyone. This middle class is larger, more active and wants a short-term return on our economic growth.”

Matus’ presentation elicited a long applause from the audience at its conclusion.

“It was really interesting to hear so much about (the U.S.’s) relationship with Chile,” said junior marketing major Adam VanDooren. “I had no clue UNI sent so many students there.

I’m already going to be studying abroad in China this summer, but after hearing about this partnership’s history and success, Chile seems like it would be a great place to go.”

NISG was “in a rebuilding period,” Bancroft-Smithe said.

“And so it was about rebuilding communication and networking and trust with the various constituencies on campus.

And because of the work of Adam & Jake and Joel & Emma and Spencer & Ian, they did most of that and we sort of put the final piece in place by starting regular conversations with faculty and staff. Because we were able to do that, we just sort of turned NISG into a high-efficiency machine, which allowed us to get a lot of stuff done,” he added.

“You can’t forget about the things that past people have worked on and I don’t think that does the student body justice, because if you forget about the people that they elected and those students are still here, and they still care about the initiatives (a previous administration had), then it’s important to keep those going,” White said.

Bancroft-Smithe and White’s cabinet members in the executive branch also achieved several successes across campus.

“It’s awesome how much our lower cabinet directors and upper cabinet directors have done,” White said.

Director of Governmental Relations Jaime Yowler coordinated campus political groups and local campaign groups during voter registration efforts during the fall 2012 election season.

Director of Diversity and Student Life Alicia Jessip helped ensure the Diversity Matters fund remained in existence, which “was questionable at the beginning of the year,” BancroftSmithe said.

Kara Poppe, director of environmental affairs, helped start a short trial of RecycleMania on campus. Though the event was not advertised, UNI still performed well compared to other Iowa schools, according to White.

The work of Ashley Hemphill, director of outreach and campus groups, and Nate Konrardy, director of public relations, brought a long-awaited NISG suggestion box to the pillar by the stairs in front of Prexy’s.

Future projects BancroftSmithe and White did not complete but anticipate future administrations to work on include eliminating the International Student Health Insurance plan requirement, expanding Panther Shuttle hours, a transition packet for new NISG administrations and better direction signage in places like Maucker Union.

Both White and BancroftSmithe noted their appreciation of the opportunity to serve this year.

“I want to, if I can, thank

UNI for the opportunity. I’m really proud of my university and I’m really happy that I had the chance to work for it in this form, or in this way,” White said.

“I’ll agree with that sentiment,” Bancroft-Smithe said. “It was the experience of a lifetime.

(I) really will never get another one like it. It’s almost impossible. It is good to feel like you’re doing good for both the university and for the students, and

advocating for the students.”

Moving forward, BancroftSmithe had a word of advice for students next year and beyond.

“I think students need to be more aware and more into what NISG is doing. I think a lot of people don’t really care; a lot of people don’t think what NISG does is important,” he said. “But it is.”

VOLUME 109, ISSUE 54

FROM THE EXECUTIVE EDITOR

Farewell

I never wanted this job.

To be perfectly honest, I never dreamed, when I applied for copy editor in April 2009, that I would one day become executive editor. In fact, I told the editor who hired me, Nikki Davidson, that I absolutely did not under any circumstances want to write articles.

All I wanted to do was edit; I was self-conscious about my writing and afraid to put it out there in print. Yet I ate crow and wrote my first article for the Northern Iowan a year and a half later.

The rest was history. I started taking other stories.

As someone who has no plans whatsoever to go into journalism, I found a passion for what the NI does and what we are: the first draft of the history of this campus. We are its newspaper of record.

The first Homecoming. Decades of creative pranks on freshmen. The expansion and growth of the Iowa State Normal School to the University of Northern Iowa. Student government squabbles. Shenanigans at SUNI Days. Students, faculty and staff members who left indelible marks on the university. Their stories are in our pages.

The NI has grown tremendously over the past few years. We withstood budget cuts in the economic downturn and staff restructuring. Each year, we strive to improve our content and professionalize the way we run our organization.

In the past year, we have begun implementing some changes to our design, which will continue next year.

We have worked to streamline the way we collaborate on stories and provide feedback to our writers. Finally, we continue to use the knowledge we gain at the Associated Collegiate Press workshops to improve the way we tell UNI’s story.

Without the work of dozens of dedicated and talented students, the NI would not exist. I’d like to recognize them for their part in our continued growth this year.

A huge thank-you goes to all of the writers, photographers, editorial assistants and business and production staff who put countless hours toward producing the content we need and the advertising to keep the wheels in motion.

Allie Koolbeck, Brandon Baker and Brad Eilers are leaving after serving on the editorial staff for multiple years. Each of you has played an essential role in making the NI what it is today, and you should be proud of your work.

We are fortunate to have Caitie Peterson, Amanda Blanche and Jake Bemis returning along with my successor as executive editor, Linh Ta. You have all shown great promise this year and the NI is most certainly in capable hands for 2013-14.

Michele Smith, our business manager, and Kristin Guess, our new adviser, do their best to help this student-run newspaper succeed without interfering. Your time spent helping the staff and your patience are much appreciated.

My predecessor in this position, John Anderson, gave a tremendous amount of dedication to the NI while he was here. Even after graduating last year, he has been an invaluable source of assistance and support for us from afar.

My patient, loving, long-suffering family and friends have provided more support than I probably deserve, and served as a foundation of strength this year in particular during the most stressful times.

Most of all, thanks are due to you, our readers. We need our supporters and detractors alike. Without support from its community, a newspaper will wither and die; without a healthy dose of constructive criticism and feedback, it will never grow.

Keep engaging with us and one another. Open up a dialogue. Voice your concerns and take action. And if you find ways we could be serving this campus better, let us know.

Have a great summer and congratulations to the class of 2013!

Kari Braumann 2012-13 executive editor

We’re all fracked!

CAROLYN COLE/Los Angeles Times/MCT CAMPUS

DAVID POPE poped @uni.edu

Get used to being thirsty, because there is an imminent threat to 50 percent of Iowa’s water supply – and it’ll be upon us in less than a year.

Don’t worry; I’m no conspiracy theorist. I’m referring to a very real phenomenon: impending frac sand mining in Allamakee County, Iowa. (Allamakee County includes Waukon, Harpers Ferry, New Albin, Lansing and Postville among other cities and towns, so if you’re from any of these towns or have family there, pay special attention.)

Frac sand is a necessary component of “fracking,” a mining technique in which pressurized water and sand is jetted into underground rock to free up bubbles of natural gas, which is then used as an energy source.

Fracking has famously released enough methane into the water supplies of several states like Ohio that some residents can set their tap water on fire simply by holding a lit match under the stream of their home faucets.

Sounds appetizing, huh?

Acquiring the sand via frac sand mining that they use to frack is itself dangerous. In order to

retrieve the underground deposits of fine sand, corporations will have to level several of the beautiful hills of eastern Iowa, and leave the area essentially an upturned mound of dirt once they’ve gotten what they’ve come for.

Not only does this destroy plant and animal habitats, but it also leaves a mar on the landscape which will likely hurt the local economy. How? Because eastern Iowa’s economy is largely dependent upon tourism – tourism that will go away if the beautiful landscape is no longer so picturesque.

Most worrying, however, is the likely effect this frac sand mining could have on Iowa’s underground water reserves. The sand that corporations will be mining sits right on top of the Jordan Aquifir, the largest single source of groundwater in Iowa (www.allamakeecountyprotectors.com/open-letter).

Frac sand mining releases high levels of silica and other substances into the air and water around the operation; too much of these substances entering the Jordan Aquifer will cause respiratory illness, Silicosis, and other public health concerns that can be life-threatening.

As leader of a group of concerned citizens from Allamakee County, Ric Zarwell said, “It is like a runaway bulldozer coming at us at a hundred miles an hour!” according to allamakeecountyprotectors.com.

If you are fine with going thirsty, or having trouble breathing, or otherwise going without water – by all means, disregard this column.

If you’re not into drinking poison, please read on.

All Iowans have a vested interest in keeping our water supply safe and our neighborhoods clean and peaceful. The threatened frac sand mining operations are located in Allamakee County, but they are only the beginning, and they will affect all of us when they pollute the Jordan Aquifir.

Mining operations will destroy one of our most precious resources – a resource that is vital to our survival and the survival of future generations of Iowans.

No amount of reducing, reusing and recycling will safeguard Iowa’s environment as much as stopping this abuse of Iowa’s water supply. Environmentalists, activists, and concerned neighbors alike: Organize to stop this.

Organize to save Allamakee County’s beautiful landscape and tourist industry. Organize to protect animal and plant habitats. Organize to protect Iowa’s water. We have to stop frac sand mining in Iowa, or else be willing to say, “Bye-bye, water supply.”

Empathy is just what the doctor ordered HEATHER NICHOLSON hnichols@ uni.edu

We spend time reading about worlds that seem so different from our own. Movies portray dystopian societies where government control prevails over all. Fictional cities like Gotham provide a model for worlds that exist in extreme crime and poverty. Even characters and motives seem riddled with self-loathing.

But while we were all busy focusing on our own lives, our world collided with the horrifying fictional worlds only previously brought to us by writers and directors.

Look around today and you will find a world in turmoil and confrontation. The last six months have given rise to countless acts of violence. Twenty kindergarteners lost their lives in a school shooting and three are dead after the bombings in Boston, including an 8-year-old boy.

Unfortunately, these acts do not stand on their own. And I’m left wondering how much worse things will have to get before we stop to realize that we are all responsible for making the change. Each one of us is the answer.

It’s time we start relentlessly teaching empathy to every single person on this planet. Empathy is the selfless giving of our time, understanding and compassion to others – all others. A world full of

empathy is a world void of judgment and confrontation; a world safer for us and our children where role models overflow daily experiences.

In case you haven’t noticed, empathy doesn’t seem to be a major focus anymore. People forget what it’s like to imagine themselves in someone else’s shoes and experience a new perspective. And it seems difficult to focus on empathy in light of the violence that surrounds us.

But, perhaps, this is the very thing we need to overcome – our attraction to violence.

Like attracts like. Mother Teresa famously said, “I will never attend an anti-war rally; if you have a < See EMPATHY, page 5

peace rally, invite me.” She understood the importance of where we focus our attention and the impact this has not only on our lives but on the lives of others.

The law of attraction has something to offer. Many people have heard of the theory. Positive thinking breeds positive results and vice versa. The theory doesn’t necessarily have to seem so religious or out of our control. It’s not as though the cosmos will bend to our every whim as soon as we start thinking positively. It’s more about patience and faith.

The daily news is a perfect example of the law of attraction breeding negativity. News broadcasts are known for stretching the truth or dramatizing the norms just to create a good story when their focus should be to give us the facts we need to stay connected to our world.

And yet, we surround ourselves with media in order to stay connected when most people are ignorant to the fact that the news we hear is the news they want us to hear. Media chooses what to tell us and more importantly how to tell us.

The day after the Boston Marathon bombings, Katie Couric’s new talk show extensively covered the stories of several survivors and responders.

And with each interview, Katie pressed hard for details: What did you see? What did you feel? Were you afraid you would never see your wife again? Did you fear for her safety?

With each question, I won-

dered how traumatizing it must be for the victims to relive their experiences only a day later and be asked questions to which we have no right to know the answers.

And I wondered – did her questions pursue empathy in her viewers or fear and anger at the terrorists? There is a difference here that we all need to be aware of. The difference is learning facts versus learning intimate details that strike deep places of fear and judgment within us.

A few days later, the bombers were discovered – the older brother killed. The news media focused heavily on the younger, living brother and the pursuit of his capture and arrest.

Friends and family were interviewed and among the interviews were detailed descriptions of the older brother’s attempted escape and eventual death. All I could think about was the younger brother, how terrified he must have been. I could imagine him, wherever he was hiding, listening to the continuous recount of his brother’s death weighing his options against his extreme fear.

And he was expected to simply turn himself in.

There is obviously something seriously wrong with our world today. But it’s important – no, essential – that we all realize that we’re responsible for the change.

We are responsible for ending the violence and raising empathy among everyone. Without this realization and without change, I fear for the world my children will grow up in.

Bonnaroo is located on a 700-acre farm in Tennessee and reaches an attendance of almost 100,000 each year.

Sasquatch is held at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington.

For most people, these events only exist in dreams. On May 4, this music festival experience will just be a hop, skip and a jump away from campus, with the first ever College Hill Music Festival.

“The idea behind our festival is to create an event here on College Hill that would serve to showcase the local music scene as well as connect Cedar Valley bands with other talented Iowa and national touring bands,” said Andrew Thoreen, co-creator of the event along with his wife, Julie.

Over the past several years, music festivals have been popping up across the Midwest.

Three7One, a start-up agency that does brand development, marketing and advertising, is working to make sure the College Hill Music Festival has this same kind of success.

ANTHONY MITCHELL and KATIE HUNT

Relationship Columnists

He said, she said:

relationship advice

For their last column, Anthony and Katie express their thanks and offer their final pieces of advice.

He said:

Wow, I cannot believe that four years has blown past this quickly. As clichéd as this may sound, it literally seems like just yesterday I meekly called the then-executive editor, Nikki Davidson, for a job.

(Which apparently was not of the norm, come to find out.

Silly freshman me.) I went to the first meeting and was told that all spots were full but they were considering bringing back a relationship column. Eager to A) have a job and B) write in any fashion, I said yes right away. What did I know about relationships?

Nothing.

That wasn’t the point though. I had an open forum.

Regardless of the lack of life experience I had, I was still determined to give genuine advice to readers. I found out I was paired with another writer who was a girl to get a male and female perspective.

Neat! I can roll with that. And we were off to the races back in the fall of 2009, and here I still am today.

Writing this column was always special to me because it was unique among the content of the paper. It was here where I really developed my writing style, and I must have been doing something right. I still can’t get over the instances where total strangers would come up to me and tell me that I was their favorite writer in the paper or that He Said, She Said was what they looked forward to every week.

Above all, my time writing for the Northern Iowan was

always focused on you, the readers. I’m well aware the stuff I was writing both as a relationship columnist and as an opinion writer was pretty out-there. I didn’t care about any kinds of norms or trying to prove any deep-thinking concept. My goal every time I wrote was to entertain you guys, while also giving my genuine input like I would to any friend.

First off, I’d like to thank the drop-dead gorgeous Katie Hunt for writing with me all this time. We actually became friends through writing this column, which is pretty dang cool. (Dude, we’re running out of time, when are we getting that coffee?) I’d like to thank Nikki Davidson, John Anderson, Kari Braumann, Tehrene Firman, Caitie Peterson and every other editor I tortured over the last few years. I still don’t know

the proper definition of deadline. I’d like to thank everyone who sent in questions, serious or wacky. I hope that I was able to help, even in a small way. And of course, I want to thank all of the readers of the NI. Like I said, it was all about you.

I don’t know if He Said, She Said will continue after Katie and I are out of here, but regardless, it was one heck of a run. Much love to all of you. –Anthony

She said:

Four years ago as an incoming freshman, I took a job as a relationship advice columnist for the Northern Iowan and embarked on a truly incredible learning and growing experience that I can’t believe is now coming to an end.

Unfortunately, this is my and Anthony’s last column as we are set to graduate in just a

couple of weeks.

It’s hard to believe that it’s all coming to an end, especially this job. I have had an amazing opportunity here to be able to give people my best advice and have others invest in my thoughts and opinions and share with me their toughest relationship struggles. I can’t tell you guys enough how much I’ve loved giving you advice.

For those of you out there who ever wrote to us or sought advice, I hope we were helpful and gave you the inspiration and confidence you needed to overcome your struggle.

I know that the relationship world can be terrifying, and it’s not easy for anyone. Just keep that in mind.

music scenes in the country.

Something is on the rise, and everyone can feel it. I don’t know what it is, but that’s what makes this so exciting,” said Sires.

Kalghatgi also sees the potential and is excited for the future of the festival.

“There are too many talented individuals from northern Iowa who constantly contribute to our ears, and yet cannot follow their passion,” said Kalghatgi. “The music festival is meant to create a symbiotic relationship – one where audiences support the livelihoods of musicians, and in return, we get more dedicated bands, more music venues and more fun.”

The lineup will feature 14 bands at three different venues: Octopus, Gingers and The Library. Twelve of the 14 bands are local, with one band, The Hoot Hoots, traveling all the way from Seattle.

“If you didn’t know who the national acts were, you would have hard time guessing. Every band in this lineup could be a national act. I can’t tell you how honored I am personally to be a part of this festival and how excited I am for our scene and the College Hill Music Festival,” said Sires.

Panthers dominate Braves 8-0 NICKY GARY

Sports Writer

The University of Northern Iowa softball team got back to their winning ways in their quest to return to .500. The Panthers improved their record to 23-24, 13-8 in Missouri Valley Conference play, in dominating fashion as they shut out the Bradley University Braves and scored eight runs off 10 hits.

It was the fourth shutout victory for the Panthers and their first since March 3, when they beat Wright State University 1-0.

The Panthers generated instant offense in the first inning, scoring two runs off of hits from Caitlin Wnek and Micalla Rettinger.

The Panthers’ bats went silent until the fifth inning when they put up five runs to close the door on the Braves.

The Panthers scored one more run in the sixth inning from Nicole Fisher to cap the scoring for the game.

Out of the 10 position players that entered the game, only three did not reach home plate, and only Nicole Fisher scored multiple times.

Although Haley Kriener id d not score, she was a huge

contributor in the game, going 2-for-3 with two RBIs and two stolen bases.

The heart of the lineup for the Panthers stepped up Thursday as Kriener, Gina Brown and Kristin Lock combined for six of the team’s

seven RBIs. Wnek went 2-for-3 with an RBI and two doubles. Brown went 2-for-3 and Lock was 1-for-3 with a stolen base.

Jamie Fisher started the game for the Panthers and earned the win. Just one day

after pitching both games of a doubleheader sweep, Jamie Fisher pitched a complete game and only allowed four hits while striking out eight Brave batters and walking one.

Fisher improved her sea-

son record to 18-13, and in the process earned her 58th career win, which is two short of tying the school record for career wins.

A look back on UNI’s highs and lows of 2012-13

UNI finishes 9th in MVC Championships

SEAN DENGLER

Sports Columnist

The University of Northern Iowa had some highs and lows this past year.

The best way to observe this is with a tier system ranking the best teams and individuals down to not-so-good teams and individuals.

The first tier is the highest of highs for the Panthers within the last year. The UNI volleyball team went 25-10 on the year and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament.

The volleyball team was led by Krista DeGeest, who earned honorable mention on the American Volleyball Coaches Association AllCentral Region.

Another high for the Panthers this season was Joey Lazor becoming a Mid-

American Conference wrestling champion. This win has helped the Panthers wrestling team slowly gain recognition across the nation.

Finally, Jacqui Kalin makes tier one because she was nothing short of great for the women’s basketball team.

She led the team in points per game, assists per game, steals, free throw percentage and minutes. She made the Missouri Valley Conference first team for the third time in her career while being named to the Senior CLASS AllAmerican second team.

The second tier means the potential to be great was there, but the players and/ or teams simply did not fully achieve the greatest of highs.

The men’s basketball team finished 21-15 and made the semifinal game of the CollegeInsider.com

Tournament, which was certainly a bittersweet high. It proves the Panthers were not disheartened by their snub from the National Invitational Tournament, and they finished the season out strong for the fans and seniors.

Alex Zenor finished seventh in the MVC Championship in women’s golf, which is good enough to qualify for tier two.

Tier three is the last of the tiers and contains the lows of the Panthers’ athletic year.

These are teams that need improvement next year.

Obviously, the football team disappointed many last fall with a 5-6 record, but they will be better next year.

With the return of Sawyer Kollmorgen and David Johnson, the Panther football team should come back stronger than ever.

Redshirt freshman Kyle Driscoll shot a team-best 73 Tuesday, but the Panthers finished the MVC Championships in ninth place.

The University of Northern Iowa men’s golf team fell from a tie for sixth place after the first two rounds to finish in ninth place overall after the third round at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship Tuesday. Led

by Kyle Driscoll’s final round 73 (+1), the Panthers couldn’t

recover from a slow start.

With his team-best 73, Driscoll managed to finish in a tie for 10th place overall on the individual leaderboard. He also managed rounds of 75 and 76 in the first two days.

Following Driscoll on the scorecard for UNI was Braden Gaal, who was tied with Driscoll heading into the

After shooting a 78 on day one and a 76 on day two, Jacob Bermel recorded an 84 in the final round of play to put himself into a tie for 34th place individually.

Next on the scorecard for the Panthers were Glenn Walls and Michael Wetrich, who each shot an 86 and 82, respectively, in the final round.

Despite four of five golfers shooting over 80 in the final round Tuesday, the Panthers couldn’t overcome the hot shooting of the other MVC teams at Cape Girardeau, Mo. The Panthers ended the final tournament of the year in ninth place with a final score of 931.

ERIN KEISER/Northern Iowan Archives

The UNI volleyball team went 25-10 during the 2012 season and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

REVIEW

continued from page 1

The women’s swimming and diving team had a tough year, losing eight of their matches, but they can build upon their third-place finish at the University of Nebraska-Omaha Invitational and do better next year.

Some teams have not finished their season yet, so it is hard to determine whether their season will be classified as a high or low. The softball team got off to a slow start, but are now 7-3 in their last 10 games.

The men’s track and field team had a good showing at the MVC Indoor Championships, finishing in third place while the women were below par, finishing sixth at the Championships. They will look to have a stronger showing at the MVC Outdoor Championships in early May. Some of the Panthers’ athletic teams have put up a strong showing this season while others were below average. Hopefully next year the Northern Iowa athletic teams can all show the MVC what it means to be a Panther.
