“The American Way of Eating”Performance

Dates: October 18-20

After the U.S. govern-ment came to a halt, leav-ing thousands of workers

on furlough, national parks vacant and research of some University of Northern Iowa faculty members obstructed, both the House and Senate passed a bill Thursday eve-

ning that reopened the gov-ernment and raised the debt ceiling, according to the New York Times.

Sixteen days after the government first shut down,

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., came up with a deal Congress approved, allowing the gov-

ernment to reopen until Jan. 15 and raise the debt ceiling until Feb. 7, according to the Times.

CORRECTIONSIn the Oct. 15 issue of the Northern Iowan, Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Phi Epsilom were misidentified as the third place winners of Pride Cry in the article, “UNI students pump up the pep for Homecoming.” The groups came in second place.

Peter Ickes’s opinion column, “Let’s work together: a look at today’s society,” was cut off short on page 3. Readers may find the full version on northern-iowan.org.

In the article, “Tailgating tradition continues at UNI,” Daniel Vorwek is misidentified as “Daniel Bulrick.”

The Northern Iowan regrets these errors.

Gerard Thiel, direc-tor of the Metal Casting Center, said manufacturing improves by innovation and new technology, such as the 3-D printer.

“Being able to bring that

new technology into com-panies … is pretty excit-ing,” said Thiel.

The machine’s primary use is to create molds for metal casting, which is “the most versatile metal-form-ing method known to man,” according to Thiel.

The printer may also

be used to make a large sculpture for UNI, as the metal casting department is currently speaking with the art department. Art students would design the sculpture and the metal casting department would turn the design into a solid geometry.

While Republicans hoped to delay or defund the Affordable Care Act, they only received some tightening of income verification of people who were getting insurance sub-sidies under ACA. However, the bill also requires an agree-ment to conjure a long-term budget package by Dec. 13.

Senate passed the bill right before borrowing measures were set to exhaust by the U.S. Treasury Oct. 17. In Iowa, Sen. Charles Grassley, Rep. Steve King and Rep. Tom Latham voted against passing the resolution, while Sen. Tom Harkin, Rep. Bruce Braley and Rep. Dave Loebsack passed the Senate budget compro-mise.

Tolif Hunt, grants and

contracts administrator at the University of Northern Iowa, said he had one research proj-ect put on standby due to the government shutdown.

Hunt said the university typically pays for sponsored programs and then submits reimbursement requests to the federal government. However, reimbursement dollars were inaccessible during the shut-down.

Hunt said “the biggest and most negative impact” of the shutdown was not fund-ing, but rather the inacces-sibility of federally-managed websites or other services for staff and faculty still conduct-ing research.

Now that the government is reopened, Christopher Larimer, associate political science professor, said he’s not entirely sure how federal

funding for UNI faculty research will work.

“Hopefully, that will get back up, and quickly,” said Larimer. “But again, that depends on

the details of the continuing resolution.”

However, Larimer said the shutdown will have a lasting effect on American’s views of the government.

“This is just another big example why the American public does not like govern-ment,” Larimer said. “This is going to be a big scar on public opinion going for-ward and this is going to be extremely tough to get over.”

OCTOBER 18, 2013 | NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | VOLUME 110, ISSUE 15

Today, people see academic support of the Humanities as useless and expensive. It teaches them to while their time away reading French novels, blath-ering about philosophy in bars and generally acting superior to everybody while bagging gro-ceries at Safeway.

This is reflected in the cut-ting or merging of humanities departments in colleges across the U.S. The cuts are justified in the interest of making uni-versities into profit-centered businesses and making students into vocationally adept members of our technological and global world. Gloria Gibson, execu-tive vice president and provost of the University of Northern Iowa justified last year’s cuts and mergers predominantly in the humanities, religion and philoso-phy and undergraduate physics departments as “…required so we can focus on high-demand and potential growth programs.”

I am sympathetic to the pro-vost’s problem. This institution has costs it must meet. But it also has obligations to provide an education worth the price tag. And the argument over whether

a liberal arts education is of little or no worth is far from settled. Scientist and educator Robert M. Hazen, Ph.D., said the natural sciences solve problems through empirical observation and proof. The humanities are concerned with what cannot be demonstra-bly proven but is instead always contingent, and always contested by the culture at large. Both are important. I don’t deny critical thought is necessary in business, law and medicine, but the criti-cal thinking taught within those schools tends to focus on its application within those profes-sions. Critical thought as taught by the humanities teaches this discipline holistically.

Some fault lies within human-ities departments themselves. The traditional defense, handed down from 19th century poet and critic Matthew Arnold, is that the study of humanities con-cerns itself with the best that has been thought and written in history. This leaves out graphic novels, video games, interactive text and most movies, not to mention it focuses on Western art and its predominantly male practitioners. And there are crit-ics who feel that the move away from this classicist view is what is destroying the humanities.

The other mistake humani-ties departments make is sell-ing themselves as providers of solid skills for vocations. English departments stress their appli-

cations to professional writing, art departments to commercial graphics, philosophy depart-ments sell themselves as precur-sors to understanding of law. This is not untrue, but it turns away from the mission Terry Eagleton perceptively delineates as best in universities: “What we have witnessed in our own time is the death of universities as centers of critique…the role of academia has been to serve the status quo, not challenge it…we will change it by insisting that a critical reflection on human values and principles should be central to everything that goes on in universities…”

One solution: the growth of Digital Humanities within uni-versities. Digital humanities is the area wherein we must see how the old methods of humanities make themselves at home in the new. The sonnets of Shakespeare sit as easily within the computer screen as they do on the printed page or in the art cinema. And we are now multiply literate. We read text, understand film, video,

music, the spoken word, graphic symbols, and we combine these different ways of reading to make meaning. Much of what you will do after graduation will require skill, subtlety and deep thought about the way mean-ing is produced in the multime-dia world. Plato’s two types of thought, that of the mind and that of the practical world, find their intertwining in this new field. Humanities departments that resist this do themselves and their students a disservice.

President of Gordon

University President Michael Lindsay writes in the Huffington Post, “Those most likely to make an impact in this new genera-tion will have a broad, holistic knowledge and a drive to con-nect disparate interests through innovative problem solving…the liberal arts approach pre-pares students to think holis-tically, drawing together many schools of thought and disciplin-ary approaches.”

Now, are you going to super-size those fries? There are cus-tomers waiting.

Instead of listening to my typical Today’s Hits radio station on Pandora, I recently switched to the Classical sta-tion. To say that Ludwig Van Beethoven’s “9th Symphony” is a tad different than Lady Gaga’s “Applause” would be a drastic understatement.

This change got me think-ing about music and art in a more general sense. Today’s pop culture, which can often be synonymous with trash culture, has blinded us from the beauty of what art and music can really express.

It is hard to look past imag-es of Miley Cyrus’s raunchy Video Music Awards perfor-mance and Justin Beiber’s illicit drug use because our vision is often clouded by a haze of celebrity scandals

and garbage. Nevertheless, at the heart of every song and work of art, we find the same passion that drove Picasso’s brush and Mozart’s keys.

Sitting down at a piano or canvas gives meaning to the meaningless without ques-tions or criticisms. Nothing becomes something in the blink of an eye and a combi-nation of harmony and bal-ance take form.

Budget cuts have led to a depletion of art cur-riculum. Canvases have been exchanged for textbooks and notebooks have taken the place of instruments.

In fact, a 2012 study pub-lished in Grantmakers in the Arts reported that the three primary sources of public funding for the arts in the United States have experi-enced declines in the past decade. The three sources include federal appropriations to the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), legis-lative appropriations to the nation’s state arts agencies

and direct expenditures to the arts by local govern-ments.

In comparison with 2011, the NEA had a decline of $146 million, or 6 perecnt, a $260 million or 5 percent decline in the legislative appropriations and $706 mil-lion or 3 percent in direct expenditures.

These cuts have a direct impact on students. Art edu-cation is not just fun, but beneficial as well. Language development, an increased IQ, enhanced spatial-tempo-ral skills and a deeper con-nection with the world are only a few of the effects.

What’s more is that a College Board study published by the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies found that “students who took four years of arts coursework outperformed peers who had taken similar classes for a half year or less by 58 points on the verbal portion of the SAT and by 38 points on the math portion.”

Today’s musical and artis-tic creations are often dis-guised by flashing lights, gaudy costumes and slutty dances. It is a shame that such talented artists resort to this sort of performance, but it is even more of a shame to see art and music classes taken out of education completely.

Without the arts, schools

operate in black and white. There is no room for personal expression.

Financial constraints pose problems, but we need to find ways other than cutting art education to deal with them. Studies have shown the ben-efits and it is clear the arts should not have to fight for a seat in the classroom.

Silent students raise awarenessPRO-LIFE

On Tuesday, University of Northern Iowa students wearing red tape over their mouths and red bands around their arms took a stand for their pro-life views. The on-campus group UNI Right to Life was one of 827 schools in the U.S. to participate in the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity.

“We found as a group this international movement online. It is a visual statement to be in com-munion with those over 50 million babies that have been aborted and haven’t had a chance to have their own voice,” said Linnea Casey, UNI Right to Life president. “We showed our respect and solidarity for that loss of life by silencing ourselves for a day.”

The event also served to raise awareness about the group on campus. The red tape and arm bands identified participants as they handed out fliers explaining why they were silent.

“I actually got stopped on the street by girls while I was riding my bike, so it was really notice-able,” said Casey.

UNI Right to Life has seven official members and about 11 people participated in the event. While the group didn’t receive opposition, they did receive ques-tions.

Casey is hoping to do a mem-bership drive in the spring and is planning on finding out how many

students on campus are pro-life. So far, the only means of recruitment have been word of mouth and the Student Organization Fair.

The organization was formed about 20 years ago, but recently they haven’t been very active. In an attempt to combat that, last year the group hosted a diaper drive to gather supplies for preg-nancy centers.

Three group members went around the community and asked for diapers and various used baby items and received a full carload.

“We’re kind of oriented toward services, education about abor-tion, alternatives and providing resources,” said Casey.

Currently, Casey is working to have fliers put in the Student Health Center.

The group is not affiliated with any political organization or reli-gion, but hopes to collaborate with either UNI College Republicans or one of the ministry organiza-tions on campus to extend their reach.

The organization is also open to holding discussions with opposing groups on campus. Last year, the group planned to hold an event with a feminist group, but was unable to do so. Currently, the group is trying to contact pro-choice groups on campus to hold a discussion series.

“As of right now, we’re just in the process of planning more events for this semester,” said Casey.

eLearning offers new security course

Courtesy Photo/UNI RIGHT TO LIFEEmily Saur, junior TESOL Spanish major, wore red tape over her mouth this Thursday to participate in the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity. UNI’s Right to Life group was one of 827 schools that registered to participate in the event worldwide.

ACADEMICS

A new course has popped up on the eLearning website. According to Ken Connelly, associate director of security and systems, “October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month, … meaning there is an attempt to improve awareness of noncomputer professionals about cyber security things.”

Connelly said the course, Securing the Human, is open to students, staff and faculty.

“This course is an attempt to share some things that will help to protect university peo-ple from falling victim to problems,” he said.

“We have faculty and staff, as well as students, that use computers every day. They use it for coursework, they use it for social networking, they use it for entertain-ment,” Connelly said.

System Administration, Networking and Security Institute licenses this course and many more, Connelly said.

According to the SANS website, the institute has educated more than 12,000 people internationally, and their goal is “to not only ensure you are compliant, but offer training that changes behaviors and

reduces risks.” Connelly said there is no cost associated

with the course and it is not graded, as it is just for the university community’s own benefit.

The new eLearning course has three different sections. Connelly said the first is accessible and applicable to everyone, the second focuses primarily on staff and faculty and the third is an advanced section for added protection. However, anyone can take any of the three.

All three groups consist of videos, which the SANS website claims is “one of the most effective ways to communicate your program.”

“Each of those groupings is comprised of about a dozen two- to three-minute video segments that are professionally done. ... At the end of the group of twelve or so (videos), then there’s a quiz,” Connelly said. The quiz and the course can be taken numerous times.

The Securing the Human course on eLearning is licensed to the University of Northern Iowa for two years.

The goal of this online course, Connelly said, is for users “to be more aware of what to look for, things that they should do and

things that they shouldn’t online so they can guard their online safety, their identity.”

“(This course) is very worthwhile infor-mation for anyone. You’ll pick up things that you can share with your family and your kids or your parents or whoever you help with computer things that might not have access to it directly,” Connelly said.

“I think everyone wants good food, and having a discussion about food is necessary to affect mod-ern political discourse,” said McMillan.

She was brought to UNI Monday night as a Reaching for Higher Ground keynote speaker. Her book relates to this year’s theme, Food Matters.

While McMillan said the majority of reviews of her book were positive, she did receive some opposition. Radio host Rush Limbaugh described McMillan as “over-educated” but not necessarily intelligent, according to the show’s official transcript. However, she took the opposition in stride.

“He didn’t pick on me because I had a bad idea; he picked on me because I had a powerful idea,” said McMillan.

After her presentation, there was a question-and-answer session followed by a book signing.

“It seemed to go really well.

I have a hard time judging those things, but it’s always really nice when people actual-ly do ask questions during the Q-and-A. And nobody booed or hissed, so I always consider that a victory,” said McMillan.

“The American Way of Eating” is the book used in this year’s Cornerstone com-mon read program. The pro-gram requires all first-year students to read the book prior to coming to the University of Northern Iowa. It is meant to give students a common ground for discussion.

“I think that what the com-mon read projects do is create a means by which we can create community. If students come to UNI with nothing else in common, maybe they’ve read this book,” said liberal arts core director Deirdre Heistad.

Matthew Weedman, associ-ate theater professor at UNI, adapted McMillan’s book for the stage. This is the third adaptation of a given year’s common read program book. McMillan saw the adaption in Strayer-Wood Theatre during her time at UNI.

Regents will discuss tuition and feesLINH TA

Executive Editor

COURTESY PHOTOCatherine Gallagher, 85, passed away on Oct. 14.

The Iowa Board of Regents will meet Oct. 23-24 at the University of Iowa to discuss the pro-posed fiscal year 2014-15 tuition and fees and pro-posed changes to university and program fees for FY 2014-15.

The Regents are request-ing a 4 percent increase in funding for general uni-versity operations, which would allow a second year of tuition freeze for under-graduate resident students. If the freeze would occur, it would be the first time since 1975 that students would pay the same tuition amount two years in a row. The 4 percent increase allows for inflation as projected by the Higher Education Price Index

For University of Northern Iowa students. Base tuition for 2014-15 would remain $6,648 if the freeze passed the Iowa legislature and Gov. Terry

Branstad.For nonresi-

dents at UNI, tuition would increase from $25,548 to $26,008, a 1.8 percent increase.

Add i t i ona l ly, UNI is request-ing a change in certain universi-ty and program fees for the next school year.

C h a n g e s include an increase in the applied music fee from $51 to $53, an increase per credit hour for the Continuing Education fee from $432 to $441 and an increase in Lakeside Lab fees from $432 to $441.

The Regents will also consider recommending approval for the Center for Educational Transformation in the College of Education. The goals of the center include research that trans-forms the current education system, being a place of

practical learning for people to enact best practices and being a place to create part-nerships across the state.

The total cost to oper-ate the center would be $1.3 million in the first two years. A grant from the Roy J. Carver Trust will provide $1 million for the first two years, while UNI will use reallocated funds from the teacher education restruc-turing from 2012 to provide $300,000 per year.

STREAK SNAPPEDUNI’s 1-0 victory ends 10-game losing streak

It’s been nearly two months since their last win, but the University of Northern Iowa women’s soccer team came away with a shutout victory Sunday over the Drake University Bulldogs.

The win snapped a 10-game losing streak.

UNI took the lead on their second shot of the game when Brady Clark played in a corner kick that met with Annie Dale’s head.

The ball got past Drake goalie Andrea Swanson, making the score 1-0.

UNI held on to the lead throughout the first half, despite three failed attacks from Drake.

In the second half, UNI goalkeeper Nicole Postel and the Panther defense saw even more action from Drake, who received five corner kick opportunities in the final 45 minutes of play.

UNI turned the Bulldogs away time after time and

held on to their small lead throughout the match.

The 1-0 victory was the second win and the first shutout for the Panthers this

season. The Panthers are now

.500 early on in confer-ence play with a record of 1-1. Drake fell to the bot-

tom of the Missouri Valley Conference standings and is tied with Indiana State University at 0-2.

The Panthers have just

five games remaining on their schedule before the MVC Tournament in November.

MCLEOD MADNESS

McLeod Madness to kick off winter sports

COLE BAIRSports Writer

Let the madness begin.Tonight, the University

of Northern Iowa athletic department is inviting the public into the McLeod Center for a series of events, including a coed 3-point contest, a dunk contest and a skills competition.

A men’s basketball scrimmage will cap off the McLeod Madness festivities.

The UNI volleyball team’s match against Illinois State University, at 7 p.m., pre-cedes the events. McLeod Madness begins at 9:30 p.m. or 45 minutes after the vol-leyball game.

The first of 10 chosen students participating in a half-court shootout will win one semester of in-state tuition.

The first 2,000 students who enter the McLeod

Center will receive a free T-shirt, and Papa John’s will supply free pizza.

The event offers a pre-season glance at the UNI wrestling team, women’s basketball team and men’s basketball team.

Women’s basketball sharpshooters Brooke Brown and Brittni Donaldson will showcase their abilities during the 3-point contest against the likes of Matt Bohannon and others.

Men’s basketball head coach Ben Jacobson said Bohannon can be in the gym practicing as early as 6 a.m.

“He would have our shoot-ing machine out, and he would shoot 500 shots. He knows his job is to make 3’s,” Jacobson said at a basketball breakfast earlier this month.

Sharnae Lamar, Hannah Schonhardt, Deon Mitchell, Matt Morrison and other athletes will participate in

the skills challenge that fea-tures an array of passing, dribbling and shooting sta-tions.

The concluding men’s bas-ketball scrimmage will give Panther fans a first glimpse at freshmen Ted Friedman, Jeremy Morgan, Bennett Koch and Klint Carlson and transfers Wes Washpun and Paul Jesperson.

Washpun, a Cedar Rapids native, is eligible to play this season after sitting out all of last year due to his trans-fer from the University of Tennessee. Jesperson trans-ferred from the University of Virginia this offseason and will sit out this season.
