The Center for Multicultural Education hosted antiracist writer and educator, Tim Wise, for the third time in ten years last Monday at the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center. To a relatively packed Great Hall of faculty, staff, students and community

members, Wise discussed the pitfalls of looking backward when combatting racism, current confron-tations among police and unarmed African American men and systemic racism in America.

The lecture was entitled: “Resurrecting Apartheid, From Ferguson to the Voting Booth to the Border–

Combatting Racism in the Post-Obama era.”

“It’s not about somebody being a racist, I’m not inter-ested in that. That’s boring. I’m saying we have a sys-tem of inequity, in which even good people can get caught up,” said Wise, key-note speaker for the night.

Cedar Falls City Council meeting passed the second reading of a rental con-version ordinance, 6-1 at Monday night’s meeting.

This ordinance will affect how current owners and future owners rent to unre-lated persons.

In existing registered rentals, current owners can continue to rent to 4 unrelat-ed persons, given the dwell-ing allows enough space. If the property switches own-ers, the new owner will have

to request an occupancy sta-tus through the City.

If the City finds the lot width less than 70 ft, lot area of 8,000 squared ft and a street width of less than 31 ft, the owner can rent to only three unrelated persons. If the lot width is equal to or greater than 70 ft, lot area is equal to or greater than 8,000 squared ft, street width is equal to or greater than 31 ft and there are four off-street parking spaces for the respec-tive tenants, owners can rent to four unrelated persons.

The University of Northern Iowa’s policy for reporting sexual assault changed last summer; under the new rules, staff members must report any student account of a spe-cific sexual assault or sex-ual harassment.

Some UNI staff mem-bers believe the policy has

changed for the worse. Timothy Kidd, associate

professor of physics and chair of Faculty Senate said the new policy doesn’t seem to be a federal stat-ute.

“Rather, it seems the university is taking a very conservative approach,” Kidd said.

According to clerycen-ter.org the Clery Act is a federal law which states

specific requirements for universities to publish information about crimes that occur on and near their campuses. It was amended in 2008 to include further protection for victims and reporters of crime.

Many professors voiced their concern at the last Faculty Senate meeting Jan. 26.

Where a newly registered rental is created, owners can rent to two unrelated persons. The current owner can apply for a Group Rental Permit for three to five unrelated persons, which the City will determine if the dwelling can hold more than two unrelated persons.

According to a flow chart provided at the Council meeting, the occupancy for the Group Rental Permit is based on the following:• impacttocharacterof

the neighborhood• compliance with the

International Property Maintenance Code occupancy level• sufficient lot size

(width and area)• adequate off-street

parking (one per bedroom)• adequate public

infrastructure• bufferingof parking• compliance record for

property or others under the same ownership.

A Staff Committee will either approve or deny the request.

Before this ordinance was created, a task force comprised of various members in the community such as landlords, a UNI student representative, homeowners, a Planning and Zoning Commissioner, a realtor and a City Council

member was brought together to discuss ongoing rental issues and create a possible solution.

Frank Darrah, 5th Ward council member and chair of the since-disbanded taskforce, is concerned about any unforeseen impacts of the ordinance. Darrah voted to pass the second reading.

“I believe this ordinance needs to be a work-in-progress and not just pass it,” Darrah said.

City Council opened the discussion to hear from the public, both those who were for and against the ordinance.

Jack Ave, sophomore political science major, spoke out against the ordinance and pointed out the flaws he sees in it.

“They either forgot what it’s like to be someone who rented something or the people who are talking to

them or that are representing them [college students] are not college students,” Ave said.

Ave said one of the biggest flaws within the ordinance is that it requiresfour unrelated persons to have four parking spaces; Ave argued this will hinder students from living in one location because there is not enough parking for one apartment, but there is

enough space to house four unrelated persons in one rental.

Ave also said if this ordinance is passed, students living off campus will have

to pay more money, money they may not have.

“I think that’s directly targeting college students,” Ave said.

Council members said this ordinance is designed to help make neighborhoods in Cedar Falls a cleaner and better area.

The third and final reading of the ordinance will be held Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 220 Clay St. The meeting is open to the public and anyone who wishes to speak about the ordinance is encouraged to attend.

If passed, Darrah said after six months of implementation City Council should look at any unforeseen impacts and what areas of the ordinance can be improved upon.

“We need a third party to look at what worked, what didn’t,” Darrah said.

RENTALScontinued from page 1

ERIN KEISER/Northern IowanA sign shows a rental property on Third Street in between Clay and Franklin Streets. If the new rental ordinance passes, properties like this may not be allowed to rent out every bedroom in the house.

While Leslie Williams, dean of students, said the goal of the policy is to create a safe educational environment, some feel it may have unintended repercussions that could negatively impact a student’s decision to confide in members of staff.

The policy covers topics from discrimination to harassment, but the disputed change came from the section highlighting the correct procedure employees must follow immediately after learning of a situation affecting students.

According to UNI Policy 13.02 Discrimination, Harassment, and Sexual Misconduct, “All University employees who are aware of or witness discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, or retaliation are required to promptly reportto the Title IX Officer or a Title IX Deputy Coordinator. Any student who is aware of or who witnesses discrimination, harassment, sexual misconduct, or

retaliation is encouraged to promptly report to the Title IX Officer or a Title IX Deputy Coordinator.”

According to the policy, under section III, point B “where appropriate, the Title IX Officer or Deputy Coordinators will provide both parties information on options for obtaining advocay, medical and counciling services, and making criminal reports, and will assist with providing information on other resources.”

Deputy Coordinators include Williams, Jean Berger, senior associate althetic director and Gwenne Berry, associate director of compliance and equitymanagement.

This means any Deputy Coordinator doesn’t have to proceed with legal action, if the student does not want to.

Many professors argue that UNI is taking the wrong approach to a serious issue that affects student well-being.

“There was a concern raised by some faculty that if they have to report what they hear, it could negatively affect a student’s decision to speak,”

said Harry Brod, professor of sociology, anthropology and criminology about the issue.

But that’s not the only word on the matter. According to Williams, reactions to the policy are split.

Williams said that some faculty members believe that making all employees accountable as mandatory reporters restricts classroom independence. Additionally, they want to be able to give students full confidentiality.

“Some others are afraid that students will not tell them things they have told them before and will change the dynamic in the classroom. Others were supportive of the idea as most faculty are not trained to handle such situations,” said Williams.

She also assures that students confiding in an employee on campus can expect help in the form of possible solutions to the situation, and that students will not be forced into an option.

At a Feb. 2 Northern Iowan Student Government meeting, members clarified

that students who have been sexually assaulted can choose how to proceed with their situation.

Resources for students are available online, as displayed at uni.edu/safety, including counseling, health resources and access to UNI police.

The policy, after being met with strong arguments on both sides, is now up for review again at the next Faculty Senate meeting. Faculty Senate meetings are held every second and fourth Monday.

An electronic copy of this policy can be found at uni.edu/policies/1302.

Anxiety is more than a feeling

It has taken me a very long time to realize that I have an anxiety disorder. Why? Because I felt that what I was feeling was normal--that it wasn’t a big deal. That I could handle it. But I real-ize now that I was very, very wrong.

Part of my problem with realizing that I was suffer-ing from an anxiety disorder had to do with the kind of reactions I received when I told others what I was going through. Some people have been extremely kind and understanding, but some have essentially invalidated my feelings, my thoughts, my suffering because they thought that what I was going through was similar to their normal everyday stress-ors like presentations, tests, or interviews, and I went along with it for a while. I dealt with it, but what I expe-rience isn’t normal.

It’s not normal to lie awake night after night, thinking and over-thinking and think-ing again about something I said to someone the previ-ous day. Or how I over-plan my every detour and path-way getting to class, work,

a friend’s house, or to get up during class to use the bathroom. It goes further than just embarrassment over something I said the day before, or making sure I get somewhere on time, or mak-ing as little disturbance as possible so as not to distract other students: it’s a crip-pling experience that affects every aspect of my life.

I have spoken to other people suffering from other mental disorders and disabil-ities such as depression and anxiety, and resoundingly, I have found that they don’t talk freely about their ill-nesses because they don’t feel validated, or have repeatedly been told that what they feel isn’t real. Essentially, they are worried that if they con-fess to having a mental ill-ness, the other person will try to make it seem what they’re going through is nor-mal.

Well, I can tell you that what we suffer from is extremely real. I cannot speak for those suffering

from other mental disorders, but I can certainly attest to the seriousness and debilitat-ing nature of anxiety dis-orders. I want to be able to go to big parties without having to leave ten minutes in. I want to be able to leave my house without having five other parking plans set up in my head. I want to make an appointment over the phone without pacing around my room for 20 minutes hyper-ventilating beforehand.

It’s been my experi-ence that people still do

not treat mental disorders and disabilities the same as physical ones. People throw around words such as “bipo-lar,” “depressed,” “anxiety,” “schizo,” “OCD” and other words to over-exaggerate what they are feeling at the moment, and I understand why people do it, but it breeds a dysfunctional atmosphere that makes real sufferers of these diseases feel invalidat-ed. There has been a separa-tion of using these words to hyperbolize a feeling and using these words to explain

an actual disease, with actual sufferers, and actual people.

It is my hope that anyone who thinks or knows they are suffering from a mental disease or disorder to receive a serious reception. Mental disorders and diseases are just as serious as physical disorders and diseases, and in fact, many mental disorders such as anxiety do produce physical symptoms. Shaking. Hyperventilating. Heart pal-pitations. The brain should be treated with as much kind-ness as the rest of the body.

LETTER TO THE EDITOROn behalf of the Master

of Social Work Student Association, I would like to thank everyone who attended Monday after-noon and evening’s event with speaker, Tim Wise. Mr. Wise did a phenomenal job with his book discus-sion and his public address to the UNI students, fac-ulty, and staff, along with community members liv-ing in the Cedar Valley. Tim Wise addressed many of the difficult topics we have trouble talking about and allowed each of us to reflect on the racism, power imbalances, and systematic problems many of us face each day.

Before closing, we also

have a few other people we would like to thank including Dr. Michael D. Blackwell and the Center for Multicultural Education. We couldn’t have done it without their help and support.

We also cannot go without thanking the Department of Social Work, the Diversity Matter s subcommit -tee, the Northern Iowa Student Gover nment , UNI Reaching for Higher Ground, the Cedar Valley Citizens for Undoing Racism, and the Democracy Project. Again, thank you for all that you do.

-Megan Vogt, graduate assistant

Dear City of Cedar Falls, I’d like to question your

service to the City of Cedar Falls.

Making my way to work Sunday afternoon was diffi-cult and quite nerve-wrack-ing. However, making it back to my apartment after I finished at the newspaper was even more exciting. The roads were worse and the drivers, just as cautious as I.

It was just before half-time on the Superbowl. Despite having some staff gone due to weather, I man-aged to get out of work a few hours earlier than usual, mainly because I knew the weather might get worse as the night progressed and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to be stranded. Plus, I was excited to watch the rest of the big game.

I had to work my way through more than a few inches of snow on roads that weren’t cleared includ-ing main roads that should have been cleared hours before. That is not accept-able.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to address Cedar Falls’ public work manager, Brian Heath, who spoke out about the snow removal in an interview with KWWL and said, “When we tell you to stay home, we expect you to stay home.”

Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the working world does not stop revolving if you tell us citizens to stay home.

Not only do newspapers have to worry about getting their job done, but, more importantly, healthcare workers have to take care of their patients. If healthcare workers are expected to stay at home, are we supposed to expect those patient to get better without proper treat-

ment?Heath, you also said that

if it was during rush hour, your trucks would have been out there. Gee, I didn’t know commuters with 9-5 jobs were the only drivers who mattered.

Nevermind the safety of those of us who do have jobs on the weekend. Nevermind the safety of our students who are working to make ends meet. Nevermind the safety of our editors, one of whom had to call campus police just to ensure she would get to work accident-free.

On a final note, I’d like to point out that the streets still haven’t been properly plowed.

Five days have since passed and the streets are still messy and dangerous.Yet, Waterloo seems to have their roads in a suitable driv-ing condition. As a proud student at UNI and commu-nity member of Cedar Falls, I ask you, what’s the deal?

Uniformed quintet at GBPACThe sound of wood-

wind instrumental music filled the air of Davis Hall in the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center Tuesday. The Air Force Woodwind Quintet, “Midwest Winds” performed from 8-9p.m. with refreshments provided afterwards. Amanda McCandless, associate profes-sor, served as a host to the group and coordinator for their appearance here at UNI.

The calm, low-key hall was half filled with a welcom-ing crowd. The ensemble is one of two woodwind quin-tets and a component unit of the United States Air Force Band-a 65 piece wind ensemble located on Scott Air Force Base in the St. Louis, Missouri area.

The performing quintet consisted of: Senior Airman Rachel Maclary on flute, Staff Sergeant Jennifer Kost on oboe, Airman First Class

Craig Buying on clarinet, Master Sergeant Peter M. Hensel on horn and Master Sergeant Robert Jordan on bassoon.

Midwest Winds played several pieces by compos-ers Ludwig van Beethoven, August Klughardt and Francis Poulenc. Midwest Winds were arranged in a semi-circle formation, enabling each ensemble mem-ber to see one another, keep time and balance the sound.

Before playing each piece, a member of the quintet gave a brief history of the composer and pieces to give the crowd some background of what to expect.

Hensel said the ensemble had only been playing togeth-er for about a week. The performers are very flexible, and must be, because perfor-mance schedules often change depending on factors such as individual schedule changes or even the weather.

KAYLEEN TURNISStaff Writer

Wise has authored six books, contributed to pro-grams on networks such as CNN and ABC (ABC’s 20/20) and has spoken at over 800 college campuses.

This is his third appear-ance at UNI, having previ-ously spoken here in 2006 and 2010, thanks in large part to Michael Blackwell, director for the CME.

“Well, I’m sure that some people are part of the, in a sense, ‘choir’ in that they’ve heard him before and are com-ing because they want to get jumpstarted again or what have you,” said Blackwell. “There are others who have not heard of him and this would be a way to help them become more aware of the kinds of issues he addresses.”

Blackwell reached out to Wise again because of the

demand from social work stu-dents and community mem-bers. He also felt that Wise could provide a construc-tive perspective on recent racial issues and the deaths of young African American males at the hands of police officers.

“We thought that it would be good for Tim Wise to come and address [those issues] and just the perceptions of race in contemporary America that sometimes gets pushed into the background of things,” Blackwell said, “We felt it would be beneficial to have someone come and talk about it clearly and directly and not mince any words about it.”

Wise addressed the dan-gers of stopping to admire how far the civil rights move-ment has come, and advised instead that we continue to move forward.

“When we talk about the issues of racial and social equity, the fact that we’ve made progress doesn’t mean much. It’s like what Malcolm X said: ‘Don’t stick a knife in my heart 12 inches and pull it out six and call it progress,’” Wise said.

For Wise, the title: “Resurrecting Apartheid…” was deliberately meant to be provocative. He feels that the notion of the overt systemat-ic and governmental oppres-sion of racial groups in South Africa, and formerly in the United States as well, can still apply to the American context today. Wise sees no hyperbole.

“No two systems of oppres-sion are exactly the same. However, even if we allow that that resurrected apart-heid is an Apartheid 2.0, per-haps a 2.5 or a 3.0, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a system of at least informal racial supremacy,” Wise said.

Wise outlined support for his claims based on what one

would expect to see in an apartheid system: disparities in material conditions among racial groups, differential treatment of racial groups under the justice system, dif-ferent perceptions of citizens based on what group they belong to (dominant or mar-ginalized), political restric-tions (of voting rights and of access to the southern border of the U.S.) and a hierarchy of value designated to each group.

“I thought he was both very factual and very person-able. He is a strong motivator as well, and he really rein-forced what I believed prior to coming here tonight,” said Amy Ketelsen, junior psychol-ogy major.

For John Fisher, senior math education major, one of Wise’s points was particularly impactful.

“He mentioned that his-tory doesn’t happen linearly; though that is what we’re taught to believe because that’s comfortable. It’s com-forting to see it as a linear pro-gression, that it can’t regress, and that it can’t get worse as time goes on. But that’s just not true,” Fisher said.

For Blackwell, Wise is one of the more prominent speakers on these issues. He provides a perspective that is conducive to stimulating discourse on these important issues.

“There are a lot of people also that can add different perspectives to the situation, but he’s definitely the singu-lar individual — particularly because he is white — that many people who are white can listen to and appreciate what he’s saying and not just dismiss it because it’s another person of color talking about these issues. I think that is helpful to people,” Blackwell said.

“Our clarinet player picked Iowa to tour this week,” Hensel said when asked why the quintet chose to perform at UNI.

The ensemble has already traveled to Iowa State University and UNI and will be making their way to Webster City and Des Moines to finish off the week. The quintet is tailored to deliver a world class, professional product

to small group settings and concert halls such as Davis Hall on campus. The ensem-ble reaches out to America’s young music students, offer-ing concerts, clinics and masterclasses in wind cham-ber range and instrumen-tal technique. Davis Hall gave students and adults an opportunity to see a pro-fessional music group up close and talk to members about their experiences as a band member and the US Air Force.

Kaylin Dicicco, junior

global marketing major, attended the Midwest Winds performance. Dicicco was instantly intrigued by the event when she saw it listed on the UNI music calendar. She is a military daughter and her dad is currently at Scott Air Force Base.

“I’ve always enjoyed the orchestra point of view. It gives you time to reflect on the music performed and the way the military makes it their own, which gives it a different perspective,” Dicicco said.

OPINION

14-ranked UNI men’s bas-ketball team increased their winning streak to 10 wins after defeating Indiana State 61-51 on Tuesday night.

The first couple minutes of the game saw both teams struggling to keep the lead. The game was tied 8-8, but that was the last time Indiana State would stay close to UNI. The Panthers came up with a 9-0 run to make it 17-8 with 10:41 remaining in the half.

Indiana State made chanc-es to close the gap, but UNI’s defense was too much. A Deon Mitchell three-point-er increased the lead to 11 with 4:26 left in the half. Indiana State cut the lead to 6 with 2:29 remaining, but Marvin Singleton and Jeremy Morgan teamed up for a 5-0 run to end the half 33-22.

The second half was all UNI as they held their lead over 10 points or more throughout the remain-ing game. Jeremy Morgan started the half with anoth-er 3-pointer to increase the lead to 14. Morgan ended the game with 12 points and

a team-high nine rebounds. Paul Jesperson made a layup at 9:58 remaining to make the

score 49-31, UNI’s biggest lead of the game.

As the Sycamores scored,

the Panthers answered right back. Indiana State’s Alex Etherington made a three-

pointer with 31 seconds remaining, but the game was already over as it only cut the final lead to 10 points.

UNI’s defense kept Indiana State to 37-percent shooting, making this the 16th time UNI has kept their opponent under 40-percent shooting. UNI also had three players in double digits for scoring: Tuttle had the game-high 15 points, Morgan with 12 points, and Washpun with 10 points.

This win marks the second time UNI has swept Indiana State under coach Jacobson. This seventh road win marks the third-best. The Panthers come back to the McLeod Center to face the Drake Bulldogs for Blackout Night on Feb. 7 at 7 p.m.

Splash Bros highlight All-Star Weekend festivities

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Since the New England Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 Sunday, the NFL season has ended. Fantasy football drafts do not start again until August so

sports fans need something else to fill their time. For sports fans, there is no better place to look than the National Basketball Association.

NBA All-Star Weekend is coming up from February 13-15 in New York City. The 3-point contest will be mem-

orable with the “Splash Bros” Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Kyle Korver, who is on pace to shoot fifty per-cent from the court, fifty per-cent from the 3-point line, and ninety percent from the free throw line, is also in the contest. If shooting were

an art, the contest this year would be the Mona Lisa.

Besides NBA All-Star Weekend, the NBA is filled with interesting story lines. One story line is the ter-rible Eastern Conference. The Charlotte Hornets are in the eighth spot with a 20-27 record. A high chance exists of the Hornets finish-ing with more losses than wins. This is in stark contrast to the Western Conference. The Oklahoma City Thunder are tenth in the conference with a 23-24 record. The ninth through twelfth ranked teams in the West have a good chance at the playoffs in the East. The lack of parity between the conferences has never been greater.

The next story line is the Atlanta Hawks. This team is the definition of team bas-ketball. The Hawks have all five starters averaging over 10 points per game. They have the best record in the Association, and best up-and-coming coach in Mike Budenholzer. This team ranks sixth in points per game, sec-ond in assists per game, and third in opponents points per game. This team is special and different than rooting for the Lakers, Celtics, or Knicks.

Another story line is the Most Valuable Player race. Last year’s winner, Kevin Durant, has been hurt this season and is a non factor. LeBron James won it the two years before Durant, but he has also been hurt this year. He is slowly gather-ing MVP consideration with the Cavaliers recent 11 game winning streak.

With Golden State’s explosion, Steph Curry has a chance to snag the MVP. He is averaging twenty three points per game and almost five rebounds and eight assists. He is also lead-ing the Warriors to the best record in the rugged Western Conference. James Harden is another candidate through leading the league with twen-ty seven points per game. He also averages over five and a half points per game with almost seven assists per game.

With the All Star Weekend and storylines in the NBA, it is a season to watch for sport fans. From this point on, the NBA season will only become more interesting. It lasts until June, right around the time when people start-ing looking at their fantasy football mock drafts.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 9 -- You see what needs to be done over the next two days. Edit your work now. Focus and discipline, especially with communications, pays off. Don’t stumble over an old rule.

Practical organization satisfies on many levels.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is an 8 -- Talk gains more than action today. Go for substance over symbolism. Ar-ticulate what you want. Romance is a growing possibility over the next few days. Have fun and play creatively. Make practical, com-mon sense plans and share them.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Home calls to you over the next two days. Costs on a domestic project may run higher than anticipated. Don’t ask for favors now. Rethink prac-tical issues. Repair an antique. Research and provide facts.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Things are starting to make sense. Discuss practical options with your team. Work out obvious wrinkles in the plan. An older individual offers useful information. Don’t

speculate or splurge. You’re entering a learning phase.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Bring in the money over the next two days. You’re gaining wisdom along with your pay. Tempers could flare. Friends offer good advice. Set priorities. Provide a practical perspective. Collaborate on a profitable venture.

view. Offer comfort and compas-sion (especially to yourself). Rest and relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Your team inspires you today and tomor-row. Heed a cautious person’s warning. Wait to get a project moving... talk over all the angles first. Associates provide valuable input. Invest (at least your time) in a professional opportunity.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is an 8 -- Watch out for bizarre requests. Stick to basic jobs that keep communications channels flowing. Clear your desk of clutter and file papers. Keep stashing your pennies. They add up. Don’t bet the rent money. Express your wishes.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 9 -- Get into plan-ning a vacation or trip today and tomorrow. Further your own education. Allow time to reduce

transportation costs. Research the best bargain, and get what you want. Review the budget be-fore committing to reservations.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is an 8 -- Set long-term goals over the next couple of days. Plan for upcoming ex-penses and revise the budget to suit. Notice the limitations under which you’ve been laboring. Your assumptions get chal-lenged. Just talking really does help.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 9 -- Compromise and negotiate a situation that works for everyone involved. Less is definitely more at this time. Record your decisions. Some fantasies will have to go. Plan an upcoming gathering. Go for simple elegance.
