Report shows UNI has fewer crimes than ISU and U of I

Military banners raise debate at NISG senate JORDAN AUNE News Editor

AMBER ROUSE News Writer

Enrollment at the University of Iowa and Iowa State University for this semester is more than double that of enrollment at the University of Northern Iowa. However, the number of criminal offenses reported at Iowa and Iowa State are more than four times the number reported at UNI since the beginning of this year.

Milissa Wright, associate director of the UNI police division said several variables go into crime reports, but since UNI is a smaller school than the other public universities, reports are going to be fewer.

In the 2012 reports, the total number of charges

against UNI students was 185. Iowa’s total was 2,538 and Iowa State’s was 1,628.

“We are a relatively safe campus,” said Wright.

The location of a crime is a factor in how it is reported, if it is reported at all.

Controversy ensued at the Northern Iowa Student Government meeting on Sept. 18 as student senators debated whether or not to fund seven banners at $75 each for the UNI Veterans Association.

For the 2013-14 fiscal year, the NISG Organization and Finance committee decided to provide only one banner at $100 for student organizations because of lower funds. So when UNI VA requested multiple banners, senators were divided on funding.

“I am a stronger supporter of our military and those who have served,” said Sen. Dylan Keller of the College of Business Administration. “This bill provided UNI the opportunity to showcase our support to the veterans that are assimilating themselves back into the civilian state of mind.”

The Senate decided last Wednesday to grant funding for the banners on a vote of seven in favor and six against for all

HUNGER GAMES

Rod Library hosts games to battle hunger CORREY PRIGEON Staff Writer

Twenty teams enter and only one leaves crowned the champion, at least usually. But at the Third Annual Cedar Valley Hunger Games, held Saturday Sept. 21, teams 15 and 16 tied for the championship. The teams were

composed of senior English teaching major Katelyn Beale and senior history majors Anna Hollingsworth, Austin Lambert and Maggie Moss.

The two champions bonded during the games and in the spirit of teamwork, they combined forces to help achieve their victories.

seven banners. These banners will represent the Marine Corps, the Air Force, the Navy, the Army, the Coast Guard, Fallen Soldiers and Prisoners of War/Missing in Action.

“I spent my spring 2013 semester in Washington, D.C. … I had the opportunity to work with veterans through Team Red, White and Blue in this process,” said Keller. “I learned ... that awareness is a major factor in the assimilation process on college campuses across America.”

By passing the bill, some senators said NISG is making an exception for the UNI VA that won’t be made for other student organizations.

“It’s always a difficult decision to make when there is a dilemma between funding a good cause and ensuring that all student organizations are funded fairly,” said Speaker of the Senate Stef McGraw.

“I took the position that although they were fantastic items to fund for an important student organization, it would

not have been fair to other student organizations.”

McGraw also brought up the point that several other student organizations requested funding for multiple banners and were denied or defferred last semester.

“If we had funded everything that student organizations had asked for during the budgetary process, there would have been no money in the contingency fund,” said McGraw. “To fund these banners was to make a special exception for one student organization, and I believe that student organizations should be treated equally.”

The bill was brought before NISG in hopes that it would be passed before Monday’s

The U.S. Army is one of five branches of the military that will be represented by the banners, in addition to Fallen Soldiers and POW/MIA.

Military and Veterans State Conference hosted by UNI. “I felt that if we were going to make an exception, it should be for the men and women who risk their lives for our country,” said Sen. Paige Leytem of the College of Humanities, Arts and Sciences. “UNI has many amazing student organizations that are all doing great work, but the veterans that see these banners have gone through things that many of us couldn’t even dream of.

Giving them respect and recognition is the least we can do.”

As far as the controversy the subject raised during the NISG meeting, Keller doesn’t think the funding process needs to be altered to avoid conflicts in the future.

“The process is not perfect, but it certainly isn’t broken,” said Keller. “I do not believe that this is an issue or that any changes need to be made after debating this particular bill.”

Senate approved an additional eighth banner for UNI VA in a separate funding bill that evening.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2013

LAURA HEBBELN

Opinion Columnist

This afternoon, I logged on to Facebook and saw an article posted by a friend titled “6 Reasons to Not Send Your Daughter to College.” I went through a wide range of emotions in a short amount of time after reading this: incredulity, disgust, anger, helplessness, sadness and finally, determination. If you have a minute, I urge you to read it at www.fixthefamily.com/ blog.

After my initial disbelief, I was absolutely infuriated by this blog post on the Catholic website Fix the Family. I was eager to join in with the angry comments it was amassing.

Before adding a comment, I skimmed the post again and found a smooth paragraph that addressed angry readers.

“The rejection we receive is always emotionally charged and ends up insulting, since once explained logically, the opposition runs out of substance and is only left to hurl insults and presume and misconstrue this practical wisdom into some chauvinistic evil,” read the paragraph.

Instead or hurling insults, I decided to find the “nonexistent” substance for a counterargument.

The article said, “A good working knowledge of the basics for today’s culture and progressive society can be learned in 12 years of school.”

The author does not seem to understand that college is not a continuation of high school. A comparison showing the differences between high school and col-

lege on Southern Methodist University’s website said that in high school, teachers impart knowledge and facts, sometimes even drawing direct connections and leading students through the thinking process. Students are simply fed information and they do not learn how to think for themselves. In college, however, students take responsibility for thinking through and applying what they are learning from textbooks and lectures.

I agree that students can learn the basics in high school.

What is sad is that the author seems to think learning only the basics of the world is enough for women. “(Women) are gifted by God with the natural abilities to nurture (feed and raise) as well as educate children.

Today’s society has a very accessible conduit for that ability that is very conducive to family life: homeschooling.

Educating and caring for children is the most valuable calling of a married woman and requires accomplished abilities. These are no small matters,” the article read.

I agree, these are no small matters. But how will a woman have accomplished abilities if she goes to school for 12 years and only acquires the basics?

Also, a woman cannot homeschool her children when she has not received an education higher than that which she is trying to teach. In different terms, a violinist would not take lessons from somebody who plays at the same level as them. They would look for someone with more knowledge and experience

Fix the Family is a Catholic website aimed at pushing its own values and viewpoints on Catholicism and Christianity.

The website has controversial articles regarding its views on families.

than them.

According to the article, “College has become more of a training ground for a job …

Since the purpose of a college degree is for a job, it becomes unnecessary for (women) to have such a credential.”

I believe the author has confused colleges and universities with professional, vocational and technical schools.

The purpose of these schools is to learn a skill set for a specific job. The purpose of colleges and universities, however, especially those that stress a liberal arts education like the University of Northern Iowa, is to receive a broader education and to learn how to think critically.

This purpose is stated on Maine’s college system website www.learnmaine.edu:

NATE BEELER/McClatchy-Tribune

“College courses encourage you to think, ask questions and explore new ideas, a priceless investment in personal development.” The website also mentions that a college education allows a person to contribute to the betterment of their family and their community, something that the author of the article did not seem to think college could offer.

And finally, the article said, “Stay-at-home mothers are actually very busy industrious women and do absolutely beautiful marvelous things.”

Simple put, women are spiders.

People look at spiders and their webs with awe, commenting on their industry and beauty. People appreciate spiders for taking care of the

dirty work of killing pesky flies.

And when spiders wander into places they do not belong, they get squashed.

Just as women get squashed when they wander away from the home.

But it is this article that squashes women, not the outside world. It acknowledges women’s importance and admires their hard work, but completely strips them of their rights as human beings.

This is a topic that should not have to be addressed in the year 2013. Even though it sounds silly for this day and age, we need to continue to support the fact that women are equal to men and that they deserve the same rights, the most important of which is getting a college education.

The Second City incites laughter at the Gallagher-Bluedorn Perfoming Arts Center AMY PEIFFER Staff Writer

The Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center swelled with laughter last Thursday as The Second City, the largest school of improvisation and sketch comedy in the world, presented Happily Ever Laughter.

The show consisted of some of the 53-year-old company’s best songs, skits and improvisations. The performances touched on a variety of topics, including marriage/relationships, religion, politics, sports and organ donation.

Partially through the show, the cast began a skit about a man taking home his boyfriend to see his parents for the first time. The cast chose Joel Zummak, a 2007 UNI theater graduate, from the

audience to act as they boyfriend.

“I don’t think he really felt comfortable doing it, but all of us laughed,” said Patrick McCliman about the skit.

After one of the skits, a cast member explained that The Second City has done over half a century of sketch and improvisational comedy.

The company was founded in 1959 in Chicago and is where comedians such as John Blushi, Mike Myers, John Candy, Tina Fey, Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert got their start.

Cayden Shiltz, freshman performing arts major, said he enjoyed the show and that he also hopes to get an internship with The Second City this coming summer.

“The show was a nonstop laugh,” said Shiltz. “It was right up my alley.”

Alpha Phi keeps hearts pumping

Alumni return to perform in Interpreters Theatre

CORREY PRIGEON Staff Writer

The Alpha Phi sorority sisters take on heart health with their Third Annual Cardiac Arrest week, raising funds for their women’s heart health charity Alpha Phi Foundation.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death in America. One in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease, which is about 600,000 people a year.

To promote heart health among University of Northern Iowa students, the Alpha Phi sorority has planned a week of free activities beginning Monday, Sept. 23 and ending Thursday, Sept. 26.

On Monday, one of the sorority sisters led a kickboxing class on top of Maucker Union. On Tuesday, in association with the American Red Cross and local fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon, a blood drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Maucker Ballroom.

The proprietors of the blood drive are hoping to receive 150 attempted donations from the local area. However, because not every donation can be carried to completion, the blood drive is

hoping to receive 110-115 units of blood.

Despite being named Proceeds Night, the event on Wednesday, Sept.

25 at Buffalo Wild Wings is an all-day event. If Alpha Phi is mentioned to servers, 10 percent of the bill will go toward the Alpha Phi Foundation.

The main event Sept. 26 is called Cardiac Arrest.

“What we do is we have this big jail that’s near the fountain on campus, and we have our girls go into the jail and set their own bail,” said Mallory Sorber, director of philanthropy and junior public relations major. “Once they reach their bail amount, they’re bailed out of jail. Some girls set their bail for $10 and some girls set their bail for $100.”

Last year, the sorority raised over $6,500 in five hours. Cardiac Arrest was implemented on campus after national chapters of Alpha Phi found success with similar events.

“Before we did Cardiac Arrest, there was a volleyball tournament. We didn’t raise quite as much money as we would have liked, so some girls implemented this,” said Sorber.

Since 1976, the University of Northern Iowa has been home to the Interpreters Theatre, which gives students the opportunity to create, perform and direct scripts focused on a variety of themes.

This year is no different.

The theater will host solo performances of “Leftovers” and “Station to Station” Sept. 26 and Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m. Brianne Waychoff and Ben Powell, UNI alumni with master’s degrees in theater, will bring these shows to life.

“It’s a great way for students to get to see stuff that is happening all across the nation because it exposes them to new things,” said Danielle McGeough, one of the directors of the Interpreters Theatre, of the coming performances.

Waychoff and Powell were undergraduates in theater during their time at UNI, with Waychoff majoring in women’s studies and Powell in communications studies. Both artists went to Louisiana State University to gain Ph. D.s and are currently assistant professors at Borough of Manhattan Community College in New York.

Karen Mitchell, coordinator and artistic director of the program, said the Interpreters Theatre likes having guest artists and UNI alumni come and offer students another way of looking at and devising performances. “(The alumni and guest artists) can talk about their experiences because it motivates students to think about what a career in performance arts studies is like,” Mitchell said.

The theatre will also have a workshop Sept. 25 from 4-6 p.m. so individuals can work with the visiting artists. Any UNI student can attend the workshop.

Any UNI student can also audition for the theatre, be involved with the program and take a performance arts class as an elective, regardless of major, said McGeough.

Paul Siddens III, faculty designer and technical director at the theatre, said that when there aren’t many opportunities to speak on stage “students are always welcome to work behind the scenes.”

Siddens said some of the tasks they do deal with the large variety of cues used during performances.

defeats Loyola Panthers Pound UNC UNI in 1st MVC match BEN LLOYD

Sports Writer

The Loyola University Ramblers were introduced to Missouri Valley Conference athletics Friday night at home in Chicago as they faced a redhot University of Northern Iowa volleyball team, who had won six matches in a row coming into the game.

The Ramblers were competitive throughout the match but ultimately could not knock off the Panthers as UNI extended their winning streak to seven matches with a 3-1 win.

The win gave the Panthers a quick jump on fulfilling their overall goal of finishing on top of the Missouri Valley Conference at the end of the year. UNI took sets one, three and four of the match without letting the Ramblers reach 20 points.

Kinsey Caldwell led the Panthers in assists with

45. Leading the offense for the Panthers was Courtney Kintzel with 13 kills, followed closely by redshirt freshman Leigh Pudwill, who posted a career-high 11 kills. Macy Ubben recorded 18 digs along with nine kills for UNI throughout the match.

With the win the Panthers’ overall season record improves to 8-4.

The Panthers’ next match will be a battle between two teams on winning streaks.

As of Sunday, the Wichita State University Shockers are on a winning streak of eight matches, and they travel to Cedar Falls Friday for an inconference duel with UNI. This match has garnered a lot of hype for being scheduled so early in the season.

The Shockers were predicted to beat out the Panthers for the number one spot of the MVC at the beginning of the year.

UNI defeats the Bears 26-7 to improve to 3-0 RILEY UBBEN

Sports Writer

Sawyer Kollmorgen stayed sharp Saturday as he passed for 248 yards while completing 19 of 27 pass attempts during the Panthers 26-7 win over the University of Northern Colorado Bears.

Junior Chad Owens led the University of Northern Iowa with 77 yards receiving and a touchdown.

By looking at the final score, one would think that the Panthers dominated on offense throughout the game.

But UNI (3-0) had trouble putting the ball in the endzone from deep in Bear territory during the first half.

UNI had to settle for field goals from the UNC 8-yard line and 11-yard line.

Senior place kicker Tyler Sievertsen was 4-4 on field goals on the afternoon which was a career high for Sieversten.

The UNI defense held strong until midway through

the third quarter when UNC found the endzone for the first time by way of a 4-yard touchdown run.

The Bears’ touchdown cut the Panther lead to 13-7 with 4 minutes, 51 seconds left in the third.

Despite the possible momentum shift, the Panthers scored 13 straight points to end the game.

Kollmorgen and the Panther offense responded to the Bears’ threat on the very next possession.

Sophomore Kevin Vereen hauled in a 31-yard pass from Kollmorgen to bring the Panthers into the Bears’ territory.

Just two plays later Kollmorgen connected with senior Phil Wright, which moved UNI to the 3-yard line.

It looked again like the Panthers would not capitalize in the red zone as they were sent back to the 18-yard line after an offensive pass interference call.

Junior David Johnson

rumbled for a touchdown on the following play to give the Panthers a 20-7 lead.

Johnson rushed for 121 yards while adding a touchdown.

The junior has rushed for 100-plus yards in nine consecutive games while scoring at least one touchdown in 12 straight games.

Sophomore Deiondre’ Hall’s interception with 2:14 remaining iced the game for the Panthers as they picked up the victory.

Hall returned the ball 40 yards for a touchdown but it was taken away due to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Junior linebacker Jake Farley led the Panthers for the second straight week as he tallied 13 total tackles.

The Panthers return home Saturday to take on the McNeese State University Cowboys at 4 p.m. It will be UNI’s final game before they start off conference play the following week.

A chilly Friday night game felt even colder for the University of Northern Iowa Panthers soccer team as they tried to get their season back on track against the Iowa State University Cyclones.

The Panthers fell behind early off of a defensive lapse that gave the Cyclones an easy 2-0 finish just 10 minutes into the match. The rest of the first half resulted in choppy play from the Panthers, who were on their back foot most of the half, facing 13 shots from the Cyclones before intermission.

“I didn’t feel like we came out competitive enough in the first half. I don’t know why

ERIC CLAUSEN/Northern Iowan

The Panthers weren’t able put a single shot on goal in the 2-0 loss.

we didn’t, I was really hoping we would have come out more energized after our game with Iowa, but for whatever reason we didn’t. (ISU) played better and they deserved the win.

When you give them chances to score they’re going to score. That’s just D-1 soccer — our girls need to understand that,” said head coach James Price on UNI’s sluggish first half.

The Panthers did a better job of controlling the ball on the ground and advancing the ball out of their defensive third in the second half, but the builds of offense amounted to nothing in the offensive third.

ISU goalkeeper Maddie Jobe was able to pick up a shutout without facing a single shot from the Panthers.

“We were chasing ghosts out there, and whenever you do that in any game the other team is going to make it that much tougher for you,” said Price.

The Panthers’ senior goalkeeper Nicole Postel collided with an ISU forward, leading to her be replaced by freshman Whitney Blunt.

The Panthers return to action Friday as they face inconference foe Missouri State University.
