In a crowd filled with purple and gold, the smell of hamburgers, the inflatable obstacle course and the gen-eral cheer of students and faculty at the Welcome Week Panther Picnic was hard to miss.

Held Thursday, Aug. 22, at the northeast corner of the University of Northern Iowa’s campus, the picnic enticed students with free food, free games and activi-ties and, of course, music and dancing.

Attendees gathered on the makeshift dance floor on the lawn of the Honors Cottage to dance to songs such as the “Wobble.”

“Everybody got up and danced when the Wobble was on,” said Zach Owens, senior textile and apparel major.

A steady flow of people came and went as the picnic continued.

Booths were set up and

Blackwell’s presenta-tion, “The Real Martin Luther King Jr.: Reformist or Revolutionary?”, was well received by an audience of approximately 40 people in the CME. It followed a march to the Campanile and a short program commemorating King’s march on Washington in 1963.

seeks changes to the sta-tus quo so that it’s easier to accommodate or assimilate to the system. The revolu-tionary, however, pursues a tearing down of the struc-ture, processes, policies and services that are inherently oppressive, and to create a new system or none at all.”

The presentation was fol-lowed by a spirited discussion.

“It was very interesting,” said Joseph Simmons. “In public schools we sort of get this received notion of what King was all about, and he’s sort of portrayed as a reform-er. But really, his ideas were radically contrary to the sort of fundamental ideology that underlines America.”

Several members of the audience were so intrigued by Blackwell’s material that

they stayed in the CME for an extended conversation among themselves and Blackwell.

“This is an important dis-cussion to have, certainly to place him in a historical con-text of American revolution-

aries,” said Simmons. “I think Blackwell had a very eloquent presentation;ww I appreciate his passion for the subject. He did a very good job of pre-senting the truly revolution-ary aspects of King.”

Students returning to the Quads this fall can look forward to a new and improved Redeker Center.

The Redeker Center, which houses the Department of Residence office and the Piazza Dining Center, was approved for renovations by the Board of Regents in April of 2012. Construction is currently finishing up, just in time for the start of the new school year.

“What prompted the renovations was the addition of Panther Village,” said Carol Peterson, UNI’s director of

Two years after construc-tion started, the second and final phase of Panther Village was completed this summer, welcoming back 246 students this fall.

Nestled in the southwest-ern corner of the University of Northern Iowa campus, the apartment-living student complex houses 450 juniors and seniors altogether. The budget for Phase II of the apartments was $21,000,000.

Like Phase I, which opened for students during the 2012-13 school year, Phase II offers a variety of room choices including studio, two-bedroom and four-bed-room apartments. Amenities include a microwave, dish-washing machine and living and bedroom furniture, with rates ranging from $7,366 for a studio, $6,750 per-person for a two-bedroom and $6,132 per person for a four bedroom apartment.

And while Pat Beck of the depart-ment of resi-dence said the apar tments and living spaces are nice, one of her favorite parts is not what’s inside the apart-ments, but rather what is seen outside.

“We wanted the building to have an interesting exte-rior that complemented this complex on the south side of campus,” Beck said. “The brick selection, the trim selec-tion, the architectural features

make them distinctive.” The four-story apartment

complex is UNI’s latest ini-tiative to encourage students to live on campus all four

years of their undergradu-ate education. In the past, Beck said stu-dents typical-ly moved to ROTH or off-campus living during their upperc lass -men years.

However, she said Panther Village provides the comfort of apartment living while providing on-campus resourc-es such as hall events, a new basketball and sand volleyball court and two resident assis-tants per complex.

“Students who live on cam-pus at every level are earning higher average grade point on campus. Having all this inventory on campus gives students a social and academic advantage,” Beck said.

Last year, UNI senior Mitch Holmes was a resident assistant for Noehren Hall. While he enjoyed his time in Noehren, he said working as a resident assistant for the new Panther Village phase is

a step up.“These buildings are an

upgrade, and the main dif-ference here is that you get your own bedroom, but you also have a living room and kitchen, which is the main dif-ference,” Holmes said. “Also, Panther Village is air condi-tioned. That’s nice in compar-ison to a traditional residence hall.”

For the future, Beck said UNI may build more com-plexes if necessary. The department of residence is also looking into including art in the stairwells in Phase II.

However, when it comes time to request residence halls this winter, juniors and seniors will need to jump in quick — Beck said both phas-es of Panther Village filled up in just a few weeks.

“The beautiful thing about Panther Village is that it gives us inventory on campus that meets students desire to have a range of lifestyles through-out their experience while they’re here on campus.”

dining services. “With around 450 extra students expected to be using the Redeker Center, we were looking at running out of space.”

The overhaul required approximately $5.5 million to finance, which was partially drawn from DOR reserves. Major changes include two new lounges, a new computer lab and a vastly improved Biscotti’s.

“We’ve enlarged Biscotti’s to about twice its original size,” said Peterson. “Most importantly, we had to expand our inventory to cater to the apartment-style living of Panther Village. The plan is for Biscotti’s to be able to provide basic living supplies for the new housing as well as the dorms.”

Students will also benefit from a new “We Proudly Serve Starbucks” concept located within Biscotti’s. It’s sure to be a welcome sight to coffee drinkers with an early morning class.

Only a small part of the renovations focused on the Piazza Dining Center itself. The back of house, or kitchen and staff area, received a much-needed expansion that coincides well with the influx of new students using the Redeker Center. Additionally, Fresh Beginnings, UNI’s bakery, was fitted with extra freezer space that provides bakers more breathing room to continue churning out

delicious goods.Construction began

in September of 2012, and Peterson noted that everything is on schedule at this point.

“Construction has gone very well, we’ve experienced no problems. We should be ready to open Biscotti’s on Aug. 22 and the dining center on Aug 23.” Faculty and the executive vice

president and provost agree upon a new evaluation system. However, Gorton said there wasn’t an opportunity to cre-ate a new student assessment system.

“I’m not trying to point fingers, but what did not hap-pen was that the provost’s office did not take the actions necessary for allowing us to work together to develop a new instrument,” Gorton said. “So for instance, our first meeting of the committee to do this isn’t until Sep. 4, after the deadline already passed. I can’t speak to why that was.”

After attempts at con-tact, the provost’s office deferred the Northern Iowan to University Relations.

According to University Relations, “A meeting is sched-uled to discuss the exact pro-

cess and to work on a desired timeline of implementation of the (student assessment) instrument. The commit-tee consists of the provost, associate provost for faculty affairs, union leadership and student representatives.”

A spokesperson for University Relations is unsure whether the new stu-dent assessment will come out during the fall or spring semester and end the evalua-tion suspension.

However, Gorton said both the UNI faculty and the administration agree that an overhaul of the evalua-tion is necessary, and they’re both committed to creating a “first-rate evaluation system.” During his 16-year career at the university, Gorton said the assessment has remained the same.

“It’s not only an old form, but it’s a completely inad-equate form. It doesn’t take

advantage of research done about student evaluations,” Gorton said. “But again, I want to emphasize that’s why both the administration and United Faculty agreed we wanted a new instru-ment. And I’m confident that we’re all going to be able to work together creating a new instrument.”

If you’re like me, you probably got nowhere close to finishing your summer reading list. However, I did come across something this summer that might someday change everything about the way we eat.

Over the last four years, researchers at Maastricht University in the Netherlands have been working on grow-ing meat made entirely of stem cells. For a quick refresh-er, stem cells are like the wild card of cells: they can become anything.

With a price tag of rough-ly $325,000, a burger was produced from stem cells taken from a cow’s stomach muscles. The 5-ounce burger was taste tested by a couple volunteers who reported it was very similar to beef in texture and taste.

This changes everything. While researchers admit-

ted this was simply to prove that such a thing was possible,

this development may have profound applications for the future of food. Right now stem-cell meat is expensive to produce and doesn’t taste exactly like the original, but those kinks can be worked out as the science behind it con-tinues to develop. The way we currently produce and con-sume meat is going to change, and it needs to.

On a spring break road trip in 2011, I had the misfor-tune of driving past a cattle feedlot in Texas. Don’t get me wrong, I love the taste of beef. But when confronted with the sight of shoulder-to-shoulder cattle from the road, all the way to the horizon in the hot Texas sun, it was obvious there was something disturbing about mass meat production. Producing meat the “old-fashioned” way uses a large amount of land to graze the animals as well as to grow the grain to feed them. It takes roughly 10 pounds of

grain to produce one pound of beef, in addition to the water the animals need to survive, according to the Smithsonian Magazine.

Believe it or not, cow farts produce a green-house gas called methane. Consequently, large live-stock operations produce a sizeable amount of green-house gasses. For exam-ple, studies done in New

Zealand estimate between one-third and one-half of New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions are due to live-stock.

A study done at Oxford compared the total emissions of a stem-cell burger to a regular burger and found that the stem-cell burger reduced emissions by 96 percent.

Climate change is happen-ing, and demand for meat in developing countries keeps ris-ing. Instead of ramping up an already problematic process,

we should focus on feeding those appetites in a more sus-tainable way. Environmental impacts aside, this will only catch on if people are willing to eat it.

When asked whether he would eat a stem-cell ham-burger, Michael Kelly, junior philosophy major, said, “I’m more excited for stem-cell hot dogs.”

I’m not sure how much meat is actually in hot dogs, but it remains to be seen if the general public will accept

stem-cell meat. While we are decades away from see-ing stem-cell double cheese-burgers at McDonald’s, I am excited for the future of food. As somebody who eats plenty of meat but still cares deep-ly about the human impact on the environment, I would be glad to get a bite of the action. In the meantime, we can all be more aware of our food choices and be cognizant of what it takes to get food to our plate. Progress: it’s what’s for dinner.

Another year at the University of Northern Iowa is off to a great start. Seniors have departed and newly graduated high school students have start-ed a new chapter in their lives.

College can be the great-est time of your life and it can provide some of the best memories, but it is up to you to make it just that. Luckily, there are certain things to focus on each year in order to make the transition from high school to college to the real world that much easier.

Let’s start with freshmen. Everything is new and excit-ing. You are nervous, but ready to take on this adven-ture. My biggest advice to you: don’t waste any time.

Living on campus gives

you so many opportunities to meet new people, so take advantage of them.

Some students’ biggest regret is not putting them-selves out there and meeting new people.

It seems scary, but the first few weeks are crucial. Groups of friends are forming, so introduce yourself. After you do it a few times, it will become natural and you will have your own crew before you know it.

Once you have made a few more friends, be sure to check out campus. Although you

may have five classes in the same building, widen your horizons and see what UNI really has to offer.

Check out the art exhib-its in the Kamerick Art Building or the fresh flow-ers in the UNI Botanical

Center. Go stargazing on the top of Latham Hall or see a show at the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center or Strayer-Wood Theatre. And don’t forget to climb the rock wall in the Wellness Recreation Center or engulf yourself in history at the museum.

Now for those of you with one year already under your belt, it is time to start getting involved.

Sophomores have already

Stem-cells: It’s what’s for dinner

GAVIGAN/Wikimedia CommonsResearchers are discovering new substitutes for meat, including the usage of stem-cells. Recently, they creted a burger created by stem-cells from a cow’s stomach muscles.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the taste of beef. ... but it was obvious that something was wrong.

No matter what your grade level, make this year the best it can be.“

”Madison McKone

learned the ropes of how things operate at UNI, so this is the best time to take on some extracur-ricular activities.

UNI has more than 200 student organizations to choose from. Find some-thing that interests you and roll with it. Not only is it a great way to meet new people, but it is a

great résumé builder and they are a ton of fun.

Some of the most rewarding ways to be involved are by volun-teering. Future employ-ers and graduate schools view service as a high priority, so make it one of yours as well.

In a new report called “Volunteering as a Pathway to Employment,” the Corporation for National and Community Service found that people who volunteer have a 27 per-cent increase in the odds of employment.

As you move into your junior year, you may feel as though you are at a breaking point between student life and adult-hood, but don’t let this

year pass you by.

You may not have your foot in the door of the real world yet, but there is no reason you shouldn’t try. Junior year is all about stepping up and prepar-ing yourself for what is to come. This is your time to push harder to get the grades you want and, most importantly, internships.

Talk to your academic advisor and see what is available in the area. It is beneficial for employ-ers to see you have done legitimate work in the field and that you have applicable experience.

An article from Forbes titled “Internships May Be the Easiest Way to a Job in 2013” claimed that in 2012, 69 percent of companies with 100 or more employees offered

full-time positions to their interns, and the outlook for 2013 is even better.

Internships also give you the chance to learn more about the field and your major. You are able to figure out your likes and dislikes and whether or not it is something you really want to do.

Senior year is the time when the gloves really come off.

Students should stop by career services to dou-ble check their résumés and cover letters. All the involvement and experi-ence is now paying off as you put together a flaw-less portfolio.

You can begin to apply for jobs in the fall in the hopes they will hold the position for you, or

you can start hitting the applications hard in the spring.

This is when the real world is literally knock-ing at your door and hav-ing a job lined up before graduation is not only a stress relief, but a tes-tament to the last four years of hard work.

So no matter what your grade level, make this year the best it can be.

Take time and be pro-active. Get involved and make a difference. Build your résumé and start your career search. But don’t forget to have a little fun and enjoy the most wonderful time of your life, college!

WELCOME WEEK EVENTS

People walking through downtown Cedar Falls last Saturday afternoon were greeted by throngs of people and music booming down the streets. Based on atmosphere alone, it would have been easy to assume the bars opened early. Instead, parents and students were flocking to Panthers on Main, the annual downtown event put on by Community Main Street. “We’ve had quite a few students participating. We love to see them all come down,” said Carol Lilly, direc-tor of Community Main Street. “Last year there were about 600 students. We had great participation. We’re hoping for the same this year.” Panthers on Main focuses on intro-

ducing University of Northern Iowa students to the variety of shops and businesses on Main Street. A free bus ran between cam-pus and Main Street for the entirety of the event, making it an easy stop for families moving students back to the residence halls. “I think it pro-vides an opportu-nity to see what our community has to offer,” Lilly said. “We try to make them feel welcome and feel like part of the community.” Students who braved the swelter-ing heat were rewarded with give-aways ranging from trail mix to gift

cards and an appearance from UNI’s mascot, TC. “I really liked Scratch Cupcakery

and the candy store,” said Amber Kisner, a freshman at UNI. “I think Panthers on Main is really nice, just because I would have never come here on my own time, and it’s a way to meet new people.” Another sta-ple of Panthers on Main is the annual scavenger hunt, which encourages students

to seek out different shops and attrac-tions. “The scavenger hunt is cool, we’ve just been walking around dis-

covering things,” said freshman Josie Wagner. “I heard about it through the sorority recruitment girls, and also just the people on campus. It’s a good way to find stores and figure out where everything is at.” Transfer students Taylor and Payton Jaquith were particularly impressed by what they experienced. “We heard a lot of good things about this town and places to go, and they were right,” said Taylor. “I’m learning a lot about the community and what’s around.” “This is an awesome way for stu-dents to find out about downtown, Main Street, different places to go and ways to have fun,” said Payton. “I’ve found a lot of interesting things around here and feel like I want to come back.”

CEDAR VALLEY EVENTS

Dashing in drag at Cedar Valley Pridefest

LINH TA/Northern IowanTwo participants of the Cedar Valley Pridefest’s 4th Street Drag Race rush down the street. Runners donned a piece of feminine clothing on each lap.

With the crowd gathered close and rainbow flags flying in the breeze, the runners were off, racing toward the pile of heels awaiting them down the block. The 4th Street Drag Race had begun. On Aug. 24, as part of the second annual Cedar Valley Pridefest in downtown Waterloo, a drag race had par-ticipants dashing 100 meters four different times in colorful garb. After the first dash, con-testants donned sky-high heels and ran back to where they started. Here, they fumbled and tugged and finally donned a dress. After their next fiery dash, they picked out a wig and put it on before running the final 100 meters. When the race started, 27-year-old Bryce Muschick of Waterloo took off in front, sprinting down to the heels as others trailed behind. He was already pulling a dress over

his head before the other com-petitors found a pair of shoes. Dress flowing and red heels tapping, he took off again, this time toward the wigs. A few other competitors were gaining ground but none quite caught up. Now with a blond, curly wig bouncing behind him, Muschick dashed the final 100 meters and broke the rainbow ribbon that served as the finish line. Other contestants soon fol-lowed, waving their hands in the air and running into the already broken finish line. “It was just a good day to come out and have fun,” said Matt Ryan, one of the street drag race contestants. The Cedar Valley Pridefest lasted from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m., and the 4th Street Drag Race wasn’t the only thing on the schedule. There was live music, food, drag shows, a roll-er derby demo by the Cedar Valley Derby Diva’s Push-Up Brawlers and two performanc-es by Sissy’s Sircus.

UNI searches for its 1st winWOMEN’S SOCCER

BEN LLOYDSports Writer

Road trips can be good learning experiences in sports, especially for young teams like the University of Northern Iowa women’s soc-cer team. After a couple of tough losses in Indiana, the Panthers head to Wisconsin in hopes of finding greatness and turn-ing the early season road trip around. Sophomore Maggie Riley earned a goal for the Panthers early in the match on Aug. 23 against Ball State and the team went in at halftime lead-ing 1-0. Despite the good start, the Cardinals were relentless early in the second half of the contest, earning two goals within the first 10 minutes of the restart. The Panthers put together three scoring chances in the second half of the game but could not find the back of the net as they dropped a 1-2 decision and the season opener in Muncie, Indiana. The Panthers were back on the pitch two days later hoping to return to .500 versus Indiana University Purdue University-Fort Wayne. But after two good strikes from the Mastodon’s offense in each half of the

match, the Panthers left the Hefner Soccer Complex in Fort Wayne blanked from the scoreboard with a 0-2 loss. The Panthers will look to get their season back on track when they travel to Green Bay Wisconsin for the Green Bay Invitational. The

tournament will feature the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Western Illinois University, Eastern Illinois University and UNI. The Panthers are set to play Western Illinois on Friday, Aug. 30 at 2 p.m. and Eastern Illinois on Sunday,

Sept. 1 at 11 a.m. If the Panthers can win both contests, they will reach an overall even season record. The Panthers have their regu-lar season home opener agaist the University of Nebraska-Omaha on Friday, Sept. 6.

Johnson ready for starting role in offense

RILEY UBBENSports Writer

University of Northern Iowa redshirt junior David Johnson is one of the most noticeable players on the foot-ball field every Saturday. The 6-foot-3 running back will be a key component this upcom-ing season as the Panthers look to improve on last year’s disappointing 5-6 record. Johnson said he and the rest of the team spent their summer preparing for the season and making sure they stayed in shape, part of which included doing hills. Like the rest of the Panther football team, Johnson is more than ready to be back on the field Aug. 31, and he is look-ing forward to a few different things. “We have a lot of guys coming back on offense and

(we) just want to get ready for a good season,” said Johnson. The Clinton, Iowa, native always has a little something extra to prove when playing in-state games against Bowl Championship Series teams

FOOTBALL OPINION

Goals for UNI in the 2013-14 season

SEAN DENGLERSports Columnist

It is a brand new year for the University of Northern Iowa, and hopefully brand new heights will be achieved in athletics. The Panthers need to keep the students proud, from the seniors all the way down to the freshmen. They can do this by striving for some of the goals I believe they should achieve. The first goal the panthers need to work on is build-ing student interest in foot-ball games. It is understood by most UNI students that a second half is basically non-existent for Panther games. This may be a bit of an exag-geration, but students need to strongly support the UNI football team and stay for the whole game. One way to get

students to stay is by bribing them. UNI could offer free pizza to students who remain in the stands after halftime. This simple bribe could lead to more students feeling full and enjoying the game. The second goal for the Panthers is to build name recognition by placing at the top of the conferences in all sports. UNI athletes can do this by putting in the right amount of work ethic, which will allow them to do well and further promote the univer-sity. This promotion will fur-ther build the name recogni-tion of UNI and hopefully raise our enrollment numbers. The third and last goal for the Panthers is a simple one. We need to stop calling

Young team brings new goals for UNI

VOLLEYBALL

BEN LLOYDSports Writer

Last season the University of Northern Iowa volleyball team finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference, added their seventh consecu-tive trip to the NCAA tourna-ment and even won a game at the big classic, beating Kansas State. With an unusually young team, UNI has differ-ent goals for the 2013 season.

For starters, an MVC pre-season prediction has UNI finishing second in confer-ence. The Panthers also look forward to a possible eighth consecutive tournament trip in a row. The Panthers start their 2013 campaign in Utah in the Utah Classic Volleyball Tournament.

The Classic means three matches for the Panthers starting with Fairfield on Friday, Aug. 30, followed by two more matches on Aug. 31 against the University of Utah and Utah State University. Last year the Utes of the University of Utah won the classic, but the Panthers will look to steal that title from them this weekend.

Leading the Panthers this year will be Ackley, Iowa, standout Macy Ubben. Ubben ended last season with 312 kills and 66 blocks for the Panthers. She also earned a spot on the preseason All-Missouri Valley Conference Team. Alongside Ubben is returning senior starter Shelby Kintzel from Mount Vernon, Iowa. The two seniors have the task of lead-ing a young Panther squad that features two juniors, four sophomores and eight fresh-men (including redshirts).

One name that stands out is sophomore transfer Kinsey Caldwell. Caldwell transferred to UNI after spending last season with the University of Nevada Las Vegas Runnin’ Rebels. She was able to earn the title of Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year. In her lone season as a Rebel she had 1,116 assists, 24 aces and 14 double-doubles, leading the Rebels in all cat-egories. Caldwell should be a helpful contribution to the Panthers’ 2013 season.

Although the team is young, the outlook for the Panthers is already very high for the upcoming season, and will look to start things off on the right foot as they surge into Utah.

Ubben set for senior season

SEAN DENGLERSports Writer

Courtesy Photo: UNI Athletics CommunicationsSenior Macy Ubben (above) recorded 312 kills and 66 blocks last season for the Panthers. She is one of only two returning seniors.

Senior Macy Ubben, lead-ing returner in kills and digs knows she still has plenty she needs to improve upon for this upcoming year. In the offseason, Ubben worked on her speed and quickness to further develop her talent on the court.

“I did a lot of work during spring with conditioning and court movement,” Ubben said.

The 6-foot-2 senior will need these skills along with her experience to help with the young Panther volleyball team this year. Ubben and Shelby Kintzel are the only returning seniors. There are only two returning juniors as well.

“Whatever you decide to do go for it and give 100 per-cent and do not take anything for granted,” Ubben said. “My teammates and I work hard together, and knowing if I do not putting all my effort into

everything my teammates are suffering.”

The Panthers are 119-18 during Ubben’s tenure as a Panther. While the team may be young, Ubben doesn’t want that winning tradition to go away anytime soon.

“(My favorite accomplish-ment is) being a Panther vol-leyball player and helping the team succeed, and starting for the first time last year and being in the regular rotation,” said Ubben.

Since it is her final season in a Panther jersey, Ubben looks forward to playing in front of the home crowd a final time, while also giving her teammates everything she has.

“We want to win and do well in conference and get to the NCAA tournament and go far in it,” said Ubben. “As a team want to improve on the court every day and do not want to take any days for granted.”

such as Iowa State. “(I want to) show them why they should have picked me,” said Johnson. “Coming out and just giving it all that I can. There are a lot of people from my hometown and from Iowa that I grew up with and (am) friends with that come watch.” Johnson has a long list of goals for himself and for the team for the upcoming season. “(I need to) get better as a running back, learn more of the offense as a receiver and learn more about defensive schemes and what to look for,” said Johnson. “As a team, first of all is beating Iowa State,

and second is winning the conference and making the playoffs.” Johnson rushed for 1,021 yards last season while find-ing the endzone 18 times. He is also steadily moving up record lists at UNI as he is 10th in career touchdowns and ninth in career rushing touchdowns. When he stepped onto campus back in 2010, Johnson never expected to be this far along at this point in his col-lege career. “I just wanted to play a sport that I love,” said Johnson. “I just wanted to have fun and play football.”

ourselves the Cats. It simply does not make sense because there is no “Cats” in Panthers. We are the Panthers, not the Wildcats. “Cats” takes name recognition away from Panthers because we are using two different nicknames. To fully get rid of the Cats moniker we need to start at the base of the problem: the mascot. I know it will be hard to change the name of T.C. (The Cat), but it needs to be done. T.C. should be renamed J.P., James the Panther. James for James Gilchrist, the first president of UNI, and Panther for our team name. As we await the first foot-ball kicked, the first volley-ball bumped and the first soc-cer goal scored, UNI must achieve these goals to improve their stature around the coun-try. Overall as a university, we need to continue to set lofty goals to further develop UNI for the future.
