PostSecret Confessions at UNI

CAMPUS EVENTS

DELANEY PALEN Staff Writer

“My name is Frank, and I collect secrets,” began Frank Warren, sole founder of the PostSecret project. Warren spoke at the University of Northern Iowa on Sept. 15.

PostSecret is one of the largest and most popular ad-free blogs on the Internet. According to its website, PostSecret “is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.”

Warren went on to tell the audience at the GallagherBluedorn Performing Arts Center about the secrets he has received, which have come from all corners of the world.

He talked about secrets he received with wedding proposals, secrets with terrifying stories on them, as well as secrets with happy stories. He talked about receiving secrets on a bag of coffee, a fast-food bag and even a potato.

POSTSECRET continued from page 1

“If it fits in my mailbox, I’ve probably pulled it out with a secret written on it,” Warren said.

Warren talked about how he reads each secret “with an open mind and an open heart.” He told the audience that “if you really listen to the words on the card, at the core, you can sometimes find a kernel of truth or wisdom.”

“

Each one of us has a secret that could break your heart, if you just knew what it was.

“I think we all have secrets, and I like to imagine each of us keeping our secrets in a box, just like this. Every day I think we each make a decision about what to do with our box,” Warren continued.

He spoke to the audience about how a secret can affect

our lives, as well as the lives of those around us.

“Sometimes when we think we’re keeping a secret, that secret’s actually keeping us,” Warren said. “It can harm our relationships with ourselves or with others; it can even keep us from being who we really are, deep down inside. It can keep us from freeing our soul.”

Warren told the audience of how a secret can be something hurtful, something happy or something tragic that might be holding someone back in one way or another.

Some people have told Warren that they don’t have secrets. He said that he believes some of the best secrets come from those who deny having any.

Warren then spoke about the beginning of the PostSecret project. He told the audience that, in some way, he knew that he began PostSecret to make peace with his own past secrets.

Warren learned, through the courage of strangers, that he could face his past and the secrets that lie there – he knew that he wasn’t alone with them.

Warren said he knew all along that the idea for PostSecret was a crazy one –

Warren said that, now, most of his neighbors are very supportive. He also said that sometimes, he will get his neighbors’ mail, and this leads him to wonder if his neighbors “get a postcard or two and maybe just decide to keep it.”

“That could be their secret, right?” joked Warren.

Through PostSecret, Warren said that he has learned that the understanding of another’s secret can “create compassion, empathy, connection and appreciation.”

“A secret can be a wall or a bridge, depending on what is done with the secret,” Warren said. “Each one of us has a secret that could break your heart, if you just knew what it was.”

FROM THE EDITORIAL STAFF

Get uncomfortable

TOM EARLY

earlyt@uni.edu

The first time I set foot in the dining center, I fell in love.

Hot breakfast every morning, diverse menu options and specialty items helped me gain every pound of the Freshman 15. However, after two years, I thought I could go without. I moved off campus and told myself, “Now I can cook whatever I want, whenever I want.”

Unfortunately, that dream never came to fruition. The fruit that I bought went rotten. The house cupboards were filled with stale bread.

After mismanaging my food budget, my organic milk cartons turned into Kwik Star brand milk bags. I found myself eating at the Union more and more. In no time flat the perceived financial benefit of living off campus became negligible if not nonexistent.

After two years in a dining desert, this year I returned to on-campus dining. The dining centers are one of the best-run departments in the university. Instead of buying fruit in bulk, preparing it and doing the dishes afterward, I can just grab an apple or a slice of cantaloupe and be on my way. I can easily pick out a well-balanced meal with a daily spread of well-represented food groups. And all of these qualities come from a strong effort bottom to top.

The dining centers employ

hundreds of students every semester. These workers get paid above minimum wage with the opportunity to get pay rate increases with additional hours worked. Dining centers are also more than willing to work around student schedules.

The directors of dining services and dining center managers take their jobs very seriously. On more than one occasion they have asked me how the dining centers could be improved. Seldom can I give a suggestion that hasn’t already been weighed and explored. They constantly pursue means to make the dining centers what students want and need. For Pete’s sake, they have softserve ice cream and a crazy machine that actually juices real oranges. The first time I went to breakfast, I thought I was at Willy Wonka’s factory or something. But that just goes to show that the dining staff works hard to make the dining centers a special place to eat and socialize.

Coming back to the dining centers has obviously been a pleasure for me. And while eating off campus may have its advantages, if students take an honest look at the time they take preparing food and the money they waste in excess groceries, it makes sense to have a meal plan in college.

EMILY HEYER Film Critic

When I decided to watch and review “Contagion” for this week, I expected to watch a dramatic action thriller that involved several magnificent actors fighting a contagious disease. I was correct – this is essentially the entire movie in a nutshell – but what I was not expecting was the fear I’d have when I left: the fear of touching anyone or anything because I could die from a crazy disease.

And then I used some hand sanitizer.

Although that’s a little

dramatic, it’s true. The movie “Contagion,” which follows several people over the course of “Day 2” (the beginning) until the disease is put in the Centers for Disease Control vault, gives what is hopefully not (but probably is) a realistic view of what our lives would be like if we were struck with a deadly disease even worse than H1N1 or SARS. The movie begins with several shots of actions or objects that can spread disease, and then opens to a coughing Gwyneth Paltrow eating peanuts at an airport See CONTAGION, page 7

My boyfriend forgot to log out of his Facebook and I noticed he had been messaging a random girl I didn’t know and was being overly flirty with her, saying she’s cute and that he wishes she lived closer. I confronted him about the messages and he said she’s just a friend and nothing has ever happened with her. Even though supposedly nothing has happened, is that still a form of cheating? Because it hurts just as much.

He said: Out of all possible dangerous words to use as far as relationships go, cute is towards the top of the list.

Cute is safe. Cute is positive. Cute is very hard to misinterpret. It says that you are physically attracted while not going fully overboard. Generally it’s a starter adjective, working its way towards the big winners like beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, etc. Now I’m not trying to stir some sort of panic in you, but in my experience, using words like cute never has pure intentions.

Is talking to another person cheating, even while using words like cute? No, not entirely. However, it is most certainly a concern.

Even if you are just trying to build a 100 percent platonic relationship, behavior as you have described is, for lack of a better term,

sketchy.

Don’t get me wrong – I’m all for independence within a relationship and both should be allowed to simply converse with other people outside that relationship. In fact, I think contact with people of the same sex as your partner is almost essential so long as things stay in control. It can really give you sense of bearing and provide perspective you might not have had before.

Within that, you have to maintain control. Innocent flirting such as this can lead to a major clustercuss.

Bottom line, you could possibly be being played right now. Have solid evidence to go on before coming to that full on conclusion, but actions like these tend not to end well. Ask for honesty from your partner and make it clear that you are uncomfortable with developments such as this.

Is it cheating? No, but it is potentially one step away from it.

She said: I’ve found that in these situations, it’s always best to step back, take a deep breath and collect your thoughts before doing anything irrational. The possible threat of another girl coming in the middle of the relationship is something that I think a lot of women deal

with, whether or not it actually happens. Sometimes we just have those suspicions – call it intuition – that make us feel like something just isn’t right.

I don’t think this is technically a form of cheating, although it has the potential to turn into that. Saying she’s cute? He wishes she lived closer? For what, so they can play Yahtzee together? Maybe she’s just a friend now, but personally, talking to another girl about how good she looks doesn’t necessarily sound like a normal conversation between friends.

I understand how you could feel like this hurts as bad as being cheated on — it’s hard to know your boyfriend has a friendship with a girl behind your back. It’d be different if he were up front with you about it and talked to you about her – that way she wouldn’t be such a secret. But finding out about her because he accidentally left his Facebook up is definitely not the way it should have gone down.

I suppose, on the other hand, maybe he was just afraid that if you knew about her, you’d overreact.

Don’t accuse him of cheating/doing anything wrong just yet. Just tell him how the messages make you feel and that you’d be more comfortable if he didn’t keep his friendships a secret. That way, you will know you have nothing to worry about. Tell him that you want to be more involved with his life, know about his friends and make them yours, too. Just be patient and wait to see how it unfolds. Maybe we’re both wrong and it really is just a harmless friendship — if so, he will have no problem letting you in.

GLOWSTOCK Free music festival rocks Cedar Falls despite challenges JOHN ANDERSON Executive Editor

It’s not difficult to draw several parallels between Glowstock, a free music festival hosted at the Wheelhouse Saturday night, and the fictional music festival Waynestock from the 1993 film “Wayne’s World 2.”

Both festivals were directed by relatively inexperienced event coordinators who sought to bring live music to their unlikely towns, and both experienced several obstacles that threatened to derail them.

Unlike the latter, however, Glowstock wasn’t up dreamed overnight.

“On campus I saw rock bands pop up on sidewalks, I saw raves in dorm rooms and parties in the residence halls – I saw all kinds of cool stuff,” said Zach Fisher, the festival’s director. “Finally I was like, there’s enough interest in this that we can go do it somewhere and do it huge.”

And despite having to change the location four days before the show, Fisher, a sophomore at the University of Northern Iowa, managed to pull it off.

“I told the crowd (at the beginning of the show), ‘Welcome to Glowstock, finally.’”

Last June, Fisher decided he wanted to bring a free music festival to UNI in order to fill what he saw as a hole on campus – a chance for independent, local artists to play for their peers, “the same people they go to class with, the same people they work with,” and give them “one heck of a show.”

The result was a seven-hour mix of 11 booming rock, hip hop, dubstep and house artists from all around the Midwest shaking the packed Wheelhouse under colored lights and fog.

The lineup featured a mixture of rock bands, including Cedar Falls’ “I’m Prettier Than You” and Iowa City’s “Item 9 & the Mad Hatters,” and DJs like Kickshifta and Defaudio, who got the crowd out of their seats and on the dance floor.

The show was headlined by Noblehaus, a group of three Iowa State University students who love dance music.

The three DJs that make up Noblehaus – Ryan Walkup, Dan Siroky and Taylor McCalla – each bring their own sound to their mixes.

“Our close friends can usually tell who’s playing just because we each have a distinct style,” Walkup said.

“I like a lot of progressive

house – long builds, full melodies – just kind of dynamic, emotional songs. Dan, he loves more of the dancey-type stuff, stuff that people can’t help but move to, and Taylor loves it all; he just likes loud music.”

Noblehaus began doing house parties in Ames and moved up to playing bars and larger venues, and were eventually invited to join the Glowstock lineup after one of their fans, fellow Glowstock performer Charlie Smith (a.k.a.

DJ Dark Grey), recommended them to Fisher.

Walkup said Noblehaus was “super excited” to play at Glowstock, adding that he loves playing music for people.

“That’s the best part, just sort of having a moment, a connection with the people that are there with you, and you’re all just partying together,” he said.

“It’s all just a lot of fun.”

The festival, originally slated to be performed in Lawther Field at UNI, was moved to Wheelhouse the week before the show due to the last of many challenges that faced Fisher throughout the planning process, which he described as a “roller coaster.” After narrowing 40 groups down to 11 and coordinating the event, Fisher contended with funding and liability issues that pushed the event off campus, with inclement weather providing the final straw to Fisher’s on-campus plans.

“That would have really rained on our parade, don’t mind the pun,” he said.

For many of the estimated 800 attendees, Glowstock was well worth the wait.

“It was an awesome experience,” said James Young, a freshman accounting major.

“We should just have more.”

Despite the difficult road that brought Fisher to Saturday’s performance, he was excited and pleased with the final result.

“It’s been a long and difficult process, and there were a lot of hoops we had to jump through,” he said, “but in the end it happened, and it just proves that anybody can do what they want to do as long as they put their minds to it.”

Though Glowstock is now over, Fisher’s dreams of bringing a free music festival to UNI’s campus aren’t.

“I still want to bring Glowstock to campus; I still want to see it outside, or maybe even in the Dome – we’ll see,” he said. “But it was all worth it 100 percent to see everybody come out and have a good time.”

Design tips from Kelly Edwards Co-host of ‘Design on a Dime’ suggests ways to incorporate individual style into living space TEHRENE FIRMAN Campus Life Editor

Just because most college students’ bedrooms consist of a small, white room that has been compared to a jail cell doesn’t mean they have to feel like one. Whether a student is living in a dorm room or a small apartment, there are usually restrictions – no paint, no nails. With few options, what is a student to do with all of that pent-up creativity when they want to make their new home feel like “home”?

Kelly Edwards, co-host and design coordinator of HGTV’s “Design on a Dime,” has suggestions for just those students – and ones that will not only allow them to express their own style, but work with a limited budget as well.

According to Edwards, the number one part of a student’s room to incorporate individual style into is the bedding area.

“It’s kind of the focal point of your whole room,” said Edwards.

“Instead of opting for the ‘bed in a bag,’ which a lot of people may have, opt for a duvet cover instead.”

Edwards says the reason she

bar. She is visibly sick, and with the movie’s fast pace, is soon dead. Her character, Beth Emhoff, is dubbed “Patient Zero,” and her husband Mitch (Matt Damon) is left to pick up the pieces and deal with her death and the aftermath of the disease.

The movie picks up new characters: scientists at the Centers for Disease Control (Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet, Jennifer Ehle and Demetri Martin), an epidemiologist from Switzerland (Marion Cotillard) and the movie’s true bad guy, Alan Krumwiede, played by Jude Law. The movie’s true nature comes out with these people.

We see the reactions to death, the scientist who tells his wife to leave the city before people are supposed to know and the people who hold others hostage to ensure they are first on the vaccine list. The garbage piles up in the streets and stores are broken into. People, in this case Jude Law’s snaggletoothed Internet blogger Krumwiede, are out to make money and thwart those trying to help. It is a terrifyingly realistic image of what could happen in our world today with such a disease on the loose.

The heart of the movie comes from the actors, but the brains come from director Steven Soderbergh. Most well-known for directing

loves duvet covers opposed to the traditional “easy fix” of bedding collections at major retailers is because “it’s different than what everyone else is doing, but also when you get tired of it, you simply change out the duvet and it will give you a new look without breaking the bank.”

For students who aren’t using lofts in the residence halls, there is an option available to create a more efficient use of space.

“The other thing you can do with your bed is to put it up on risers,” said Edwards. “Risers are great because as we know, dorm rooms and apartments can be tiny and we need that storage space. They’ll lift your bed up and you’ll get about six inches to be able to fit all of your storage containers.”

Edwards feels lighting is “super important in design” and should also be focused on.

“Obviously you can have the best design space, but if your lighting is off, your entire look will be off,” said Edwards.

Edwards suggests ridding harsh dorm room lighting with that of “something kind of cool and funky, like a pendant light.”

the “Ocean’s” trilogies and the Oscar-winning “Erin Brockovich,” Soderbergh makes smart decisions that give the actors the most room to work and each scene the right amount of bang to make a statement without shouting. He gives each character and each actor enough space to breathe, but does not let any one person take the lead and the show.

That being said, the actors and actresses make the film. With so many big names, one could expect the movie to be bogged down, but it is not. Each actor takes a step back and instead of relishing in their lead role, they all make movie magic in their equally small and significant roles. All are notably fantastic, but notable in particular is lesser-known British actress Jennifer Ehle, playing the scientist who discovers the vaccine.

In one of the best roles, Ehle (who is beat known for her role as Elizabeth Bennet alongside Colin Firth’s Mr. Darcy in the BBC version of “Pride and Prejudice,” but can also be seen more recently in “The King’s Speech”) takes us all by surprise and truly shows her acting abilities while understating her importance. It is phenomenal.

Although as an admitted germaphobe, this movie was a little scarier for me than most, it is nonetheless one of the better “disease” movies out there. With its surprise ending, it will make

Edwards said the best part about the pendant light is that it’s great for when the room is being shared – it separates both of the roommate’s areas.

To allow that extra lighting to fill the room, Edwards suggests using floor mirrors, which make the room not only look bigger, but “a little bit more ‘light and airy,’ so to speak.”

When it comes down to entertaining within small spaces, whether it’s for study dates or movie nights with friends, Edwards suggests purchasing floor pillows instead of having extra chairs taking up space around the room. Unlike chairs, floor pillows can easily be slipped away when they’re not in use.

Edwards also knows that the desk area is “super important, because obviously studying is going to be a priority in college.”

Because of this, she recommends investing in a comfy chair at the desk since one may be “sitting there for sometimes hours and hours a night.”

The No. 15-ranked University of Northern Iowa volleyball team opened up Missouri Valley Conference play this weekend at home as they hosted the University of Southern Illinois Salukis and the University of Evansville Purple Aces.

UNI head coach Bobbi Petersen notched her 300th career victory on Friday and senior Michele Burow was recognized for reaching 1,000 career kills on Saturday. The Panthers swept both teams to end the weekend with their third consecutive sweep.

“Being able to see the growth and development from a player and coach standpoint and knowing all

of the people who have been a part of it, that’s what’s fun for me,” said Petersen following her 300th victory.

“

I’m so proud of her.

(Burow), day-in and day-out, does exactly what you want her to do.

UNI (12-1, 2-0 MVC) started off the conference portion of the season Friday night when they played SIU. Megan Lehman ended with nine kills while Krista DeGeest added eight.

Setter Bre Payton record-

ed 30 assists to her teammates. The Panthers took the first three sets by scores of 25-18, 25-14 and 25-18.

The first set started as a struggle for the Panthers as the Salukis (5-4, 0-1 MVC) jumped out to a 15-11 lead.

However, UNI responded with an 11-1 run which gave them the lead at 22-16. UNI would take it from there with a final score of 25-18 in the first set.

UNI led the entire second set against the Salukis. With the help of a 12-2 run, the Panthers took the second set 25-14.

The third set was close with SIU taking the lead at 16-15, but it was UNI who took control from that point to take the set 25-18 and the match 3-0.

See VOLLEYBALL, page 10

Looking to avenge their recent loss to in-state rivals, Iowa, the University of Northern Iowa soccer team came back with something to prove against South Dakota State University on Sunday. The Panthers started a little slow, but as the rain picked up, so did the offense, helping the Panthers to a 2-2 draw after falling behind 2-0.

“In the context of the game, going two goals down and coming back to tie 2-2 is ok,” said UNI head coach James Price. “From a psychological standpoint, it was good to come back (and) show some toughness.”

South Dakota State (4-51) got off to a fast start by scoring in the 20th minute then again later in the 54th minute. With a 2-0 lead, SDSU looked dominant and in charge of the game’s pace.

As the rain continued to pour down, the Panthers continued to strive for a goal to get them back into the game. Claire Clark put a few shots on goal towards the end of the half, but nothing would fall. UNI continued to fire on all cylinders throughout the game, which helped them achieve 10 of 14 shooting overall.

Eventually, UNI (3-5-2) got their way when senior Melissa Hagan scored the first goal to spark the Panthers’ comeback in the 64th minute. Shortly thereafter, UNI managed to get a goal from SDSU in the 80th minute, tying the game at two goals apiece.

Next games @Creighton Sept. 23 @ 7 p.m.

St. Ambrose

Sept. 26 @ 7 p.m.

With only 10 minutes remaining in the half, each team had a fair share of chances to walk away with the victory. South Dakota State put several shots on frame (7-21 shooting), but UNI goalkeeper Erin Zaideman was everywhere, preventing SDSU from closing out the game. With an acrobatic save to end the second half by Zaideman, the teams headed to extra time.

Throughout extra time, each team had an equal amount of opportunities, but neither side could get the go-ahead goal. Clark had a shot in the 105th minute, but Kat Donovan (SDSU) was there in a hurry. Missy Journot got the final shot in for the Panthers in the 106th minute, but she just barely missed it over the crossbar.

“We’ll take some positives away from it obviously, but we (have) to go away and work on those negatives,” said Price, indicating that UNI played strong enough to win but just couldn’t seem to get ahead.

With several games left in the season, UNI heads to Creighton on Sept. 23 to face the Blue Jays. The Panthers will play at home again on Sept. 26 where they will take on St. Ambrose at the Cedar Valley Youth Soccer Complex in Waterloo.

DUELING SPORTS WRITERS

Is it time for the Denver Broncos to start Tim Tebow?

One of the more popular topics surrounding the National Football League is the quarterback controversy in Denver between Iowa native and NFL veteran Kyle Orton and second-year fan favorite, Tim Tebow.

This summer the Denver Broncos were looking to trade Kyle Orton to the Miami Dolphins

in exchange for a future second or third round draft pick. This trade would have made Tebow the starter and silenced all the Tebow fanatics who have been calling for Tebow to start for more than a year.

However, the trade with the Dolphins fell through, the Broncos kept Orton, Orton won BRENNAN ACTON Sports Columnist

BRAD EILERS Sports Editor

The Broncos went 4-12 last season, which was the second-worst record in the NFL. Orton was 3-10 as the starting quarterback before he got injured; that’s when Tebow filled in and was 1-2 as the starter. In those three games, as well as six others where Tebow saw limited action, he passed for 654 yards and five touchdowns against three interceptions, while rushing for 227 yards and six touchdowns.

Those are pretty good numbers. However, here is the statistic that everyone is critiquing Tebow on: pass completion percentage.

Tebow completed 41-of-82 passes last season, exactly 50 percent. In the NFL you would prefer to see that number around 60 to 65 percent.

Some critics are going far enough as to say that Tebow will never be an accomplished NFL passer and the Broncos should just trade him while they still can. I don’t believe that at all, and even if Tebow is never a consistent 60-percent passer, he is a winner.

He knows how to win. He won two national titles and a Heisman trophy in college, not to mention he is a great motivator and a great teammate. Tebow will find a way to win, whether he is beating you with his arm or his legs.

The Denver Broncos are in a no-win situation, plain and simple. The organiza-

tion is trying to win games and they believe Orton is their best option to do that right now. However, they are also trying to please the fans, and to do that they must play Tebow.

If you want my honest opinion, the Broncos will probably win more games this year with Orton as their starter than they would if Tebow was starting. However, I don’t think Orton will win enough games to get the team to the playoffs.

If that’s the case, why not start Tebow and let him gain some more valuable experience? I say go ahead and use the old “trial by fire” technique. Let him get his feet wet. The Broncos aren’t going to the playoffs anyway because their defense is horrendous, so why not throw Tebow out there and see what he can do. If he is successful, the Broncos know they have the quarterback of the future. If he fails, Orton can return to being the starter and the Broncos can look to trade Tebow in the offseason.

The worst case scenario for the Broncos would be to keep Orton as their starter this year and not make the playoffs. To me, it looks like they are headed in that direction. If that happens, the Broncos won’t have solved anything and they will be right back where they are now, wondering if the unproven Tim Tebow is their franchise quarterback.

Tim Tebow has not proved himself in the National Football League.

At camp he was outperformed by both Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn. The only reason he is being talked about seriously right now is because of fan support -support based on his college career, nothing more.

Fans are constantly reminded not to take preseason games seriously.

When a pundit tries to make an argument based on preseason statistics, he is often chastised. Yet in the case of Tebow’s potential, so much is based off his play in college. Yes, he was quite possibly the best collegiate athlete ever, but that was college. Great college quarterbacks often find no success in the NFL whatsoever (just ask JaMarcus Russell).

Tebow is appealing for many reasons, but none as obvious as his ability to run the ball. Mobile quarterbacks in the NFL rarely have the same success that they

over his teammates and coaches with his performance in practice and in the preseason and now Tebow is competing with Brady Quinn for the role of backup quarterback. This brings us to our topic of discussion: Is it time for the Broncos to start Tim Tebow?

do in college. Philadelphia Eagles backup quarterback Vince Young has rushed for 12 touchdowns in six NFL seasons. In two years in college, he ran for 26 touchdowns. Even if Tebow manages to run well, it will not be the solution to Denver’s problems. Success will come down to how well he can pass.

Denver fans are latching onto a player for his past. The Broncos franchise, however, is looking for wins.

The fans are acting rashly because they feel like Tebow is going to somehow produce offensively in a way that Orton cannot.

Orton may not have the natural athletic ability that Tebow has, but he does have experience. Although Orton currently ranks 27th out of 32 quarterbacks in passer rating this season, his lack of performance this year should have an asterisk by it. In Denver’s only game this year, they ran for a measly 38 yards on 13 carries against the Oakland Raiders.

Orton himself gained 12 of those yards on his sole carry.

Not only was the run game almost nonexistent, but the offensive line looked terrible. Neither Orton nor Tebow is going to be able to find much success in a game where the pocket collapses so often. The quarterback position should not be the area of concern for Denver; it should be the running game. Starting Tebow over Orton is not going to help running back Knowshon Moreno run for more than 22 yards.

Head coach John Fox has chosen to play Orton over Tebow despite the fan support for the latter. Tebow may be their quarterback in a couple years, but the Broncos feel that Orton is their most effective quarterback right now. While it’s easy to speculate as a fan, the coaches have training camps, practices and workouts to base their decisions on.

Orton may not be the ideal franchise quarterback, but fans must realize he is the best option the Denver Broncos currently has.

Saturday, both Petersen and Burow were awarded for their career accomplishments.

“I’m so proud of her.

UNI faced off with Evansville (11-4, 1-1 MVC) in their second match of the weekend where the Panthers were ready to make some improvements and get their second win of the conference. “(We were) definitely much improved in a lot of areas we were focusing on, so it was good to see that,” commented Petersen on her team’s willingness to get better.

Burow added 11 more kills to her weekend total and Lehman added nine of her own. Payton had another high assist count with 35 to help lead the Panthers to victory. UNI swept the Purple Aces by scores of

25-20, 25-13 and 25-18.

A kill by Amy Braun sparked the team, giving them an early 13-10 lead in the first set. However, UNI could never pull away from the Purple Aces, who kept it close throughout the game.

UNI earned a hard-fought 25-20 victory.

UE struggled to get things going in the second set and the Panthers only trailed once as they took a 25-13 victory behind a 10-2 run.

The Panthers had a .378 attack percentage compared to just .140 by Evansville in the third set. The Purple Aces kept it close early, but eventually the Panthers surged to their third straight sweep. A kill by Shelby Kintzel ended the set 25-18 and the match at 3-0.

UNI will resume conference play Friday when they travel to Normal, Ill., to take on the Illinois State University Redbirds. The match is set to start at 7 p.m.
