While a fresh school year may bring uncertanties, new University of Northern Iowa president William “Bill” Ruud said he is willing to take on all matters with gusto.

Currently, UNI is facing an estimated decline in enrollment for the 2013-14 school year. Last fall, 12,273 stu-

dents were enrolled at the university, while in the fall 2011, 13,168 students were enrolled.

According to an Iowa Board of Regents report presented in June, enrollment is expected to drop again this year.

“We have a conservative estimate for our budget set at 11,800 students,” Ruud said. “Hopefully we get to

12,000, but in either case we are working hard to boost enrollment for coming years.”

“Iowa is lucky to have three great first choices for universities,” continued Ruud.

“People who want to study something like agriculture have Iowa State, and those who want to study law or medicine have the University of Iowa. While we might not have the advantage in those

programs, we are able to prepare students for graduate programs in those areas at ISU and UI.” One way Ruud is looking to combat lower enrollment is through a tuition advantage program for bordering states.

Although the plan is barely in a developmental stage, it may prove attractive to prospective out-of-state students.

Finding a job was supposed to be easy.

When 22-year-old Ryan Moon graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in May, he expected he would find a job in the public sector or receive his dream job working internationally with his political science degree.

Instead, he found himself living back at home with his parents in Indianola, Iowa.

“I honestly thought it was going to be easy,” Moon said.

“Me and my best friend were like, ‘This is going to be easy.

We’re going to have a job in May. We’re going to move into an apartment at JuneJuly at the latest,’ and we’re both still finding jobs.”

In 2012, a record 21.6 million young adults ranging from 18-31 were living with their parents, according to an Aug. 1 study from the Pew Research Center. For the last six years, the number of young adults returning home rose 4 percent, reaching a < See MILLENNIAL, page 3

Ruud is confident UNI has all of the charm necessary to lure in a new wave of students that will be sure to increase enrollment.

“It’s important to get people on campus, because if we can get them out here there’s a good chance that they’ll stay. I’m a great example of that,” said Ruud. “Once they see the campus, the rest of Cedar Falls and the quality of our education, we have a nice shot at them.”

The event is free and the dress code is loose. Bosch said jeans and a T-shirt are fine, but so is dressing up.

Bosch encouraged students of all dance levels to check out the event, but senior members of the group will be on hand to teach interested parties how to get in the groove of things.

“Dance is one of those things that’s more of a party if you have more people,” said Bosch.

On Sunday, Aug. 25, the Residence Hall Association will sponsor Hallapalooza on the Quad Field. Music and games will be provided in addition to a variety of inflatables. The event will take place from 2-5 p.m.

Also on Sunday afternoon is the Progressive Picnic, held on Lawther Field from 4-7 p.m. The student organizations One Iowa at UNI, Northern Iowa Democrats, UNI Philosophy Club, Feminist Action League, UNI Freethinkers and Inquirers, UNI Proud and UNI STARR are sponsoring the event.

“The Progressive Picnic is an event that brings together all kinds of students, from the (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community to students of color to atheists to feminists,” said David Pope, president of UNI Proud. “It’s a real way to start a coalition of like-minded individuals right off of the bat, show new UNI students that there

is a supportive and accepting environment for them here and to have fun with some free food and live entertainment.”

Participating students will have the chance to learn more about the sponsoring organizations, listen to the UNI jazz quintet Common Collective and UNI student Nick Shelton and watch UNI’s improvisation group Half Masted. The Cedar bend Humane Society will also be bringing puppies for students to pet.

“I hope the event really shows students there are multiple ways they can get involved on campus,” Pope said.

On Monday, August 26, campus direction booths will be set up to help direct new students to their classes.

Students will be manning these booths from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The last event will take place at 5 p.m. in the Memorial Garden. The annual Welcome Back BBQ will offer free food to UNI students, faculty and staff members.

With such a range of events open to students both old and new, the new school year looks to start off with a bang. Students are encouraged to participate in as many events as they can while settling into their lives here in Cedar Falls.

“I hope that through the course of the events students become more connected to the UNI community,” Stewart said.

According to the Pew Research Center, more and more young adults are returning to the nest because of declining employment, rising college enrollment and declining marriage rates, While living with his parents over the summer, Moon did not go job offerless.Though he received a fair number of offers, he hopes to find a career in a government field he’s interested in.

“People say just be a waiter or work as a bartender, and those are minimum wage and I can’t do that,” Moon said.

“Everyday I think, ‘This week, I’ll get a job offer I’ll like.’”

Last year, 63 percent of young adults were employed — a decline in comparison to 70 percent employment in 2007. With a slow moving job market, unemployed young adults were more likely to live with their parents, according to the Pew Research Center.

Finding a job in government is notoriously difficult during the summer, Moon said.

“It’s really put a lot of stress on me this summer.

I’ve ben trying to save money donating plasma twice a week in Des Moines and doing odd jobs if I can find them,” Moon said.

There are both positives

and negatives to living with his parents, Moon said. He’s able to save money and wait for the career of his dreams.

On the other end, “you’re living at home and you feel a little worthless. You’re 22-yearold and still living in your parent’s basement.”

For now, Moon will look into the job offers and interviews he’s received, and he advises current UNI seniors to jump into the job market.

However, Moon won’t give up on his dream of working internationally. He hopes to clerk at the Iowa Capitol this year.

“Hopefully I’ll meet Senators and Representatives, and know people on the international side,” Moon said.

Watch out: this column was leaked DAVID POPE poped @uni.edu

The U.S. Government has sprung a leak: one politicians on both sides of the aisle are desperate to plug.

But is the puncture in the piping the problem, or is it the pipes themselves that are in need of a tune-up?

It started in 2010 when Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks (an online nonprofit organization which publishes classified information obtained from anonymous whistleblowers) began releasing classified U.S. diplomatic documents to the internet. This set off a global witch-hunt for Assange and an investigation into who

his anonymous informants might be, which eventually led to the arrest of Bradley Manning, a U.S. Army soldier who had leaked thousands of U.S. Military documents to Assange's site.

Then Edward Snowden appeared this year on the world stage, made (in)famous by his choice to leak information about the National Security Association (NSA)'s domestic surveillance programs to the media.

The response to all of these leaks was harsh and immediate. Democrats and Republicans in Congress and from within the White House decried the releases of information as “terrorism” “espionage” and “treason.” Some public figures such as Donald Trump and former Arkansas

governor Mike Huckabee even suggested that those responsible for the leaks should be “executed,” according to the Huffington Post.

Whistleblowers, it seems, have become public enemy number one in America. But, as a journalist friend of mine once poignantly asked, why is so much attention being placed on the whistleblowers and not the information that they uncovered?

Take for example the information released by Snowden, which exposed how the NSA demanded the cell phone records of millions of Americans from companies such as Verizon without probable cause.

Not only does this demonstrate a lack of transparency on the part of our government, but it also demonstrates a lack of regard for the Fourth Amendment to

the U.S. Constitution, which states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated ... but upon probable cause.”

The NSA did not secure a warrant nor have probable cause for seizing the cell phone history of millions of unwitting American citizens.

The main reasoning given to justify the seizure is a vague statement about protecting the public from terrorist threats. While it is a serious issue to be considered, the threat of terrorism does not supersede the U.S. Constitution. Make no mistake: the U.S. seizures of cell phone data en masse was illegal.

Potentially even more disturbing is the information leaked by Bradley Manning, most of it in reference to the Iraq and Afghan wars.

Manning was decried as endangering U.S. Military forces with his indiscretion, but this proves to be a hyperbolic statement, as the information he released doesn't deal with troop movements or anything of the sort that would be useful to enemy combatants. Rather, the information he leaked is of particular interest (or should be) to the American public because it details much underhanded and illegal action taken in both Iraq and Afghanistan by the U.S. Military.

One particularly disturbing piece of what Manning uncovered is a gun-camera video shot from an Apache helicopter in Baghdad, Iraq.

In the video, members of the U.S. Military open fire on and kill a group of Iraqi civilians without provocation. While the civilians were armed with guns, they were not enemy combatants and were unaware of the presence of the Apache. At

PAGE 5

one point, the members of the Apache crew fire several missiles into an old building where civilians are taking refuge.

Most shocking and disturbing is the part of the video after the assault on the rescue van, in which the U.S. opens fire on a group of civilians with two small children with them. In the background of the video, Apache can be heard saying, "Well it's their fault for bringing their kids into a battle!"

Remarkably, Manning is on trial but those responsible for the unprovoked murder of over a dozen civilians, including two children, aren't. One can argue that keeping people like Manning from leaking classified information keeps U.S. citizens safer (a point I would contend with) but plugging the leak certainly isn't doing anything for the Iraqi innocents were being slaughtered.

Manning broke the law to

I’M THE REASON TO DONATE YOUR PLASMA.

expose war crimes, while the U.S. Military broke the law in order to-well, I'm not even sure why. Watch the video and tell me it doesn't almost seem like killing for sport.

Julian Assange has taken asylum in Ecuador, Edward Snowden has found an uneasy peace as a refugee in Russia, and Bradley Manning is on trial set to be put away for a very, very long time.

Meanwhile the NSA continues to illegally collect phone data, and the U.S. gunmen responsible for the indiscriminate killings of Iraqi innocents are free. Surely this isn't justice.

The government is desperate to clog up the leaks in the pipe because what keeps spilling out is truth: uncomfortable truth about just how corrupt our government really is. Meanwhile, I hope people keep poking holes in the pipes until the whole truth comes out.

The neon sign outside Uncle Harry’s 5 and Dime Tavern lets citizens of the Cedar Valley know a new business has opened up on Main Street Cedar Falls.

Uncle Harry’s 5 and Dime Tavern opened in June. According to general manager Phil Adam, the store gets its name from the owner’s uncle, who passed away around the time the business was getting started. The “5 and Dime” part is a play on the old nickel and dime stores of the 1940s and 1950s, the decades the bar’s theme is based around.

Smooth, glossy dark wood gives a sleek yet rustic feel the runs the length of the new bar. Tables and booths sit tucked in against the walls to provide additional seating for patrons.

Uncle Harry’s 5 and Dime Tavern is for patrons 21 and older. Dollar bills covered in names are taped above the bar, something Adam says “just kinda started” happening after opening night.

Grading the system

Preseason football grades for each position JAKE BEMIS

Quarterback: B+

Running Back: A-

Wide Receiver: B+

Redshirt sophomore Sawyer Kollmorgen (pictured) leads the pack in his second year at the starter. Coming off a great season as a freshman, Kollmorgen will be looking to take a step forward in his progression.

If it wasn’t for his small sample size, this grade would be an A. Behind Kollmorgen, the Panthers currently have three other quarterbacks on the roster, but that is sure to change once the season starts. Without more experience between the four passers, the final grade ends up at a B+ (for now).

Yes, Carlos Anderson is gone, but enter David Johnson. Johnson (pictued) enters his junior season with expectations sky high. Johnson rushed for 1,038 yards last season and received numerous awards, and, should a re-worked offensive line do their part, it could be a breakout season for him. Look for Austin Ebertowski to back up Johnson, with Evan Williams, Alex Carr and Tyvis Smith all challenging for playing time.

Ebertowski should be a solid number two for Johnson. That combination earns an A-.

UNI lost a big target in Terrell Sinkfield, but this position is probably still the deepest on the team.

The Panthers have a minimum of five receivers that will be in rotation, with Nebraska quarterback transfer Brion Carnes a candidate to move to the position. All six players have had at least one year of on-field experience at receiver, which will bode well as the season moves along. With the experience and athleticism of this core group, they should have no problem finding the endzone this season.

That earns them a B+.

Offensive Line: C

Tight End: B

Defensive Line: C+

Dan Kruger (pictured) and Jack Rummells are set in stone for coach Mark Farley’s 2013-14 offensive line. However, offseason injuries to Kevin Carroll and Ben Wallace hurt the depth. Ryan Bingaman, Kirk Harris and Mark Blessington all received parttime action last season and are likely to be counted on for bigger contributions this season.

A group of redshirt freshman including Justin Putney, Robert Rathje, Dustin Ihns and Trevor Hanson are in the mix for playing time. The offensive line could be the key to 2013.

Sam Rohr headlines the tight end group, but other players could make sizeable impacts. Rohr (pictured) led all Panther tight ends last season as a true freshman with 22 receptions, 202 yards and two touchdowns. Rohr was selected to the Missouri Valley Football Conference all-newcomer team and is poised for a great season as he builds on the field rapport with sophomore Sawyer Kollmorgan. Braden Lehman, Will Roth and Jacob Rathmacher will compete for reps behind Rohr.

The good news is the starting four have a great resume already built. The bad news is that there is little depth which may lead to younger players moving into starting roles. With the injury to Mac O’Brien already hurting the depth, it may be too difficult to overcome.

If anyone can solve this problem, it’s new defensive line coach Bryce Paup. Paup (pictured) was the National Football League Defensive Player of the Year in 1995. He could boost this line to a B grade by season’s end.

Safety (FS/SS): C+

Linebacker: B

Cornerback: B-

After the graduation of Garrett Scott, Mark Farley found his replacement via transfer Tate Omli of Butler Community College.

Omli was a standout at BCC, recording 87 tackles, four interceptions and one touchdown in his sophomore season. Omli is penciled in at strong safety alongside returning starter Deiondre’ Hall.

Hall (pictured) recorded 29 tackles as a freshman and should be much more comfortable on the field with a year under his belt. Alex Paup, Ray Mitchell and Tim Kilfoy provide healthy competition.

This is another position where a small sample size is holding the grade back. UNI’s linebackers have a very high ceiling, starting Jake Farley.

Farley (pictured) led the team in tackles in his first season and looks to take more of a leadership role this year. Jordan Gacke will be solid on the outside, along with redshirt redshirt junior Zach Cutkomp. Cutkomp shined in his few games as linebacker last season before he suffered an injury which sidelined him for the year. With more experience, this group can be dominant.

Six months ago, many would have been worried about all the defensive back positions. Mark Farley did a great job bringing in transfers to fill the gaps, and the star of all the transfers may be Makinton Dorleant from the University of Maryland. Dorleant (pictured) returned two interceptions for touchdowns during the spring game and has been all over the field during scrimmages. Another player to look for is Northern University transfer Jalen Barnes, who some call the fastest player on the team.

Offense reloads, defense returns leaders for UNI soccer NICK GARY

Sports Writer

The University of Northern Iowa women’s soccer team looks to build off last season’s fourth-place finish in the Missouri Valley Conference with the return of nine starters.

The team finished 8-9-2 last season.

The team will feature 18 underclassmen and 12 upperclassmen, including eight seniors.

In his fifth season, coach James Price will have to replace leadership roles on offense, as the Panthers lost four forward or midfield position players.

Although most of UNI’s offense graduated last season, the entire defense, who held opponents to one goal or less 11 times last season, is still intact. Erin Zaideman will return as the opening day starting goalkeeper for the Panthers.

Zaideman will look to build off her eight victories and five shutouts in 2012. She also tallied 56 saves with an average of 1.31 goals in the 19 matches she appeared in.

Protecting Zaideman will be an experienced back four.

Allie Brees, Sam Copley, Katie Witt, Sarah McHugh and Maddie Welch return for the Panthers.

Brees was named to the

Head coach James Price will try to turn around a UNI team that went 8-9-2 last season. The Panthers return to action Aug. 23 against Ball State University.

All-MVC second team last season and Copley was an honorable mention selection.

McHugh started 18 games as a freshman and was named to the MVC All-Freshman team. Morgan Gallagher, Larin Gordon and Morgan Bjornsen will also be challenging for playing time.

The Panthers will look for fresh faces to step up in 2013 as the team loses three of its top five shot takers from

2012.

Senior Claire Clark is the top candidate to take that next step. Clark scored four goals on 16 shots and will likely have many more attempts this season.

Shauna Happel, a junior forward who made 10 starts and scored one goal last season, will also look to have a breakout year in her third year in the program.

The Panthers return three

midfielders in Charlotte Jones, Caitlyn Fuller and Maggie Riley. Jones, a junior, scored four goals in just 12 games and will look to improve that number with increased playing time.

Fuller, also a junior, started 37 games in her first two seasons and was an honorable mention All-MVC selection.

As a true freshman, Riley started 16 games and tallied 10 shots with one goal last

season.

Other likely contributors include Annie Dale, Grace Schield, Elizabeth Rodriguez and Sarah Frerichs.

The Panther women will begin their regular season Aug. 23 against Ball State University.

Two days later, UNI will compete against Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne in Fort Wayne, Ind., at 1 p.m.
