WOMEN’S BB Panthers end the regular season in a win against Evansville, 61-48.

Tangerine orange flooded Maucker Union on Saturday from noon to midnight, as UNI Dance Marathon (UNI DM) hosted their fifth annual Big Event, Dance Marathon 2016. The dancers raised a grand total of $370,248.05 for the kids (FTK), surpassing their goal of $305,000. The money raised will be donated to the Iowa Children’s Miracle Network to benefit “miracle children” and their families. DM is a nationwide movement involving college and high school students at more than 450 schools. More students participate in Miracle Network DM than any other student-led philanthropy in the United States according to DM’s website. Last year, college DMs raised more than $8 million. An executive team of UNI students planned for the Big Event months in advance. Ashley Topping, junior marketing major participated as a morale captain, a student in charge of a “morale team” of students who raise funds to support an individual Miracle family.

A big weekend for the UNI men’s basketball team resulted in an MVC tournament domination. After a final buzzer beater jump shot by Wes Washpun, the Panthers are going dancing at the NCAA tournament. This weekend’s competitors consisted of Drake University (No. 10), Bradley (No. 9), Loyola (No. 8), Missouri State (No. 7), Indiana State (No. 6), Southern Illinois (No. 5), UNI (No. 4), Illinois State (No. 3),

Evansville (No. 2) and Wichita State (No. 1). UNI vs. Sourthern Illinois The first of the Panthers’ three games was against the Southern Illinois Salukis (SIU), where they came away with the suspenseful victory of 66-60. It was a competitive scoring effort from each team. Very early in the game, Jeremy Morgan drove in for the layup, fueling the fire for Wyatt Lohaus. Lohaus made four consecutive baskets, three from inside and even knocking home the trifecta putting UNI up 20-12. See MEN’S BB, page 6

Is it fair that teachers

are held to higher expectations and more publicly scrutinized when they break the law? McCarty says yes and no. “Do teachers deserve to receive more judgement? Not at all,” McCarty said. “However, teachers are the people who we trust with our children every day. We expect them to be good role models and to always do the right thing, just like we hope our children will do. Naturally, we are going to hold our teachers to higher standards than anyone else.” James Cryer, coordinator of elementary education at UNI, also believes that teachers should be held accountable for their actions if they break the law and should be held to higher expectations. “Public school employees are role models to children and youth,” Cryer said. “This position is an honor and privilege and does come with higher lev-

els of responsibility than most professions.” McCarty also discussed the need to watch what one says and does as a teacher. She said that one of her education professors had recently presented a lecture on what not to say to future students, as well as related issues, such as what not to post on social media. “Basically, if you feel that you can say it to your grandma and your five-year-old nephew, you should be safe,” McCarty said. Cryer said that education majors should be advised to follow the “Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics” set up by the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners. This code includes abiding to state and local laws. One of the biggest questions that has been raised is whether the illegal behaviors of teachers, principals and all others who work with children is excusable.

On Feb. 24, sophomores Hunter Flesch and Avery Johnson were named the new student body president and vice president. Flesch and Johnson had earned 1,187 of the 2,072 total votes that were cast on MyUniverse, beating out opponents Jamison Whiting and Aaron Friel. The results were announced after an hour-long delay and several hours of deliberations by the Northern Iowa Student Government (NISG) judicial branch regarding allegations leveled at both presidential campaigns. Senior psychology major, Nathan Davis, who serves as the chief justice of the NISG Supreme Court (and de facto election commissioner), participated in the deliberations. According to Davis, the allegations that were leveled at the Whiting/Friel ticket were: improper solicitation within Department of Residence

(DOR) buildings, solicitation within Maucker Union and advertising near polling stations, which are defined as any public computer that is made for student access. The Flesch/Johnson ticket was charged with two allegations: early campaigning and advertising near polling stations. “The delay [happened because] we had proposed a number of different solutions trying to wrap up these allegations and impose the sanctions that we believed were the most fair and orderly,” Davis said. Although no votes were sanctioned in the final tally, Davis said hours of debate led to that ultimate decision. Davis explained that the election commission sought the input of Lisa Kratz, NISG’s faculty advisor, and Jan Hanish, vice president for administration & financial services, to explore sanctions that they could impose. Hanish, who had been called into the deliberations to provide background from her previous experiences, praised the respon-

sibility demonstrated by both the judicial branch and the presidential tickets. Davis stressed that during the deliberations, the judicial branch hadn’t opened the ballots or seen the election results. Flesch commended the election commission’s ability to remain impartial throughout the proceedings. Davis said the election commission had considered sanctioning votes for both presidential tickets; they had proposed discounting up to 122 votes for the Whiting/Friel ticket and up to 20 votes for the Flesch/ Johnson ticket. Davis said that these numbers came from a formula that took into account several variables, such as the amount of voters reached and the nature of the allegations. According to Davis, the election commission decided to respond to the allegations by issuing a public censure, rather than withholding votes. Davis went on to explain what the public censure, which

is in its draft stage, will entail. “The judicial branch is going to come out with a description of the allegations, a description of our votes as to how many of us believe the NICK FISHER/Northern Iowan allegations to be Hunter Flesch and Avery Johnson celebrate their true based upon NISG presidential election win.

Freshman social science major, Mady Sheets, said that, although teachers are human and accidents happen, their actions will still impact children, whether positive or negative. “People are people and they are going to make mistakes, but if you’re working in a setting with adolescents and teenagers who are going out into the real world, you need to watch what kind of image you’re producing for them,” Sheets said. Sheets does not, however, think these specific cases are leaving a bad taste in people’s mouths about teachers, especially about those in the local community. “This kind of thing could happen to anyone,” Sheets said. “It coincidentally happened to be two school figures in the Waterloo-Cedar Falls area who got into legal trouble. It happens.”

No longer entertained, just disappointed I am a (strong) Independent (woman), so when I watch the Democratic and GOP debates, I watch them mostly for the entertainment. The GOP debates, particularly, are perfect if you’re a comedian and need some good jokes; they never fail to give two to three hours of some wonderful material to work with. However, this last GOP debate on March 3 rattled something in me. Donald Trump, being Donald Trump, had to address something that Marco Rubio had said at one of his rallies. He

just had to address it. He just had to. Had to. The reason I put so much emphasis on it is because Trump, indeed, did NOT have to address it. He could not let it slide. He had to bring up something that was said at a Rubio rally, rather than just be the bigger man and let it go. What is it I’m talking about? Trump’s penis size. Yes. If you did not watch the debate, Trump’s penis was indeed a topic under discussion for about 30 seconds. Something that is argued about between junior high boys in a locker room during gym class was a topic between a 44-year-old and a 69-year-old (and let’s just pretend Trump’s suggestive age number has something to do with it). And perhaps one of the two could be the next leader of

our country. It was after this that I realized that I’m not just watching a bunch of child-like men argue at each other… I’m legitimately watching children argue at each other. And I say ‘at’ each other versus ‘with’ each other because, in all honesty, when Trump, Rubio and Cruz break out in their “unintelligible yelling” (actual subtitles for the Feb. 25 CNN debate) are they arguing about politics or just insulting each other? It’s just not funny anymore. It was cute for a while, with Trump giving his opponents fun names like Little Marco and Lying Ted, most likely to compensate for something (I’m assuming it’s his lack of political knowledge). However, there comes a time when stuff stops being cute and it starts becom-

“My brother had cancer when I was in high school, and he was only 10 years old,” said Topping. “[My family] became involved in Iowa’s Dance Marathon, and I knew then that when I was in college I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself and give back to all of these kiddos.” Mikaylah Scott, sophomore pre-nursing major also weighed-in on why she wanted to become a morale captain. “I became a morale captain to become more involved with the miracle families and to be a role model and a leader for not only the dancers, but for these kiddos,” Scott said. To kick off the event, all of the teams gathered together and ran into the ballroom to high five each and every dancer participating in the event, circling around the Maucker Union Ballroom. After all 40 morale teams jogged in and high-fived each other, the miracle kiddos and their families were introduced; the children who did not make

it to the event were also recognized. McKayla Klosterman, freshman business major and firsttime dancer, enjoyed watching the crowds come together at the start of the day the best. “The run-in at the beginning of the day and seeing all of the people who came together to support such a great cause,” Klosterman said. After the run-in, each team gathered to speak with their miracle kiddos and families and then the rest of the activities started. There were plenty of events to keep the kiddos and dancers entertained. The upstairs of the Maucker Union featured a “jail and bail,” where dancers were put into a ‘jail’ by kiddos or other dancers and had to raise a certain amount of money in order to be ‘bailed out.’ In the hemisphere lounge, there was a photo booth, boxes to place hand-written letters to each kiddo and a game of ninesquare. In the ballrooms, there was a game of human foosball, inflatable Twister and an area for human Hungry Hungry

together for a boost of energy. Immediately following each of these morale dances, a miracle kiddo story was told. One of the many stories shared was about Jared Minikus, a 13-year-old miracle kiddo who was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. He and his parents shared a video of pictures that started with his diagnosis and continued throughout his treatment. His mother, Dianna Minikus, explained the importance of Dance Marathon throughout his battle. “There were nights where Dance Marathon members would come and just hold him for two to three hours just to give his mom and dad a break,” Minikus said. “You guys are the ones who made it possible for him to beat this.” Jared also added his own word of motivation. “If I can get through all of that, you guys can get through eight more hours of this,” Jared Minikus said. Each hour held a new special event, and one of them included haircutting and shaving. “I love seeing people donate to others who can’t grow their own hair out and all the emotions it brings,” Scott said. “It seriously gives me chills.” The haircuts happened about halfway through the event when many dancers, morale captains and executive members stood on stage, had their hair gathered into pony tails, watched them be cut off and then held them for the rest of the dancers and participants to see. Head shaving followed hair cutting, where co-executive director, Amanda Howard, and morale captains, Whitney Broghammer and Phillip Adams, sat on stage and completely shaved their heads while listening to the crowd chant “FTK.” This moment elicited an emotional response from the

audience, like crying and hollers of encouragement. These were accompanied by gong rings, which indicated that a dancer had raised $100 within this 12-hour period and was followed by an echo of cheers from the crowd. Kyton Rehder, sophomore communication studies and Spanish double major and returning dancer, explained why he chose to participate again this year. “Last year I had such a great experience,” Rehder said. “I was able to help and inspire children who have gone through a lot and it’s great to know that you can make such a difference in someone’s life.” Posted all around Maucker Union were signs for dancers to write #whyIdance or #Idancefor to remind them of why they keep dancing. Some of the responses included: more first kisses, more smiles and less tears, more tomorrows, more candles on a cake, more Christmas mornings, less time in the hospital and more UNI graduates. Natalie Rork, director of Morale, commented before the “Power Hour” to remind the dancers of what UNI DM is really about. “People have asked me, why do you have to stand all 12 hours and why can you not have caffeine?” Rork said. “Well, the kiddos don’t get to stop being sick, so we don’t get to stop being tired.” Perhaps the 12-hour event can be best explained by pop singer Macklemor’s lyrics, which were included in the morale dance. “We danced, and we cried, and we laughed and had a really, really, really, good time,” the participants shouted along at the top of the hour.

“Zootopia” message too strong

DAILY SPECIALS

JOSHUA ROUSE

Film Critic

From the team that brought us “Frozen” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” comes an anthropomorphic tale chock-full of metaphors and fun characters to hook adults and entertain kids. “Zootopia” begins interestingly enough with some world building exposition. Once-feared predators have evolved past their primal instincts into civilized mammals and live in peace and harmony with prey in the city of Zootopia, where dream-chasing Judy Hops (Ginnifer Goodwin) comes to town to become the first rabbit on the police force. But as the wily con-fox Nick (Jason Bateman) tells her, not all dreams are meant to be. Soon, Judy is wrapped up in a mystery of missing animals with the reluctant Nick as her sidekick. The investigation leads her to the darker parts of Zootopia, where she learns there is more going on than she ever imagined. And that’s where “Zootopia” stops being fun. Even from the beginning, there were already hints of the message the movie was preaching: the age-old morals of equality and the down-falls of racism and xenophobia. While these are good messages to teach and nothing to be swept under the rug, “Zootopia”

GOP DEBATE

continued from page 3

Now, I may not agree with everything the Democrats envision, but it does not take more than a fourth grade education to see that Sanders and Clinton are holding a proper, civil debate where actual issues are under discussion, no one is throwing insults and no one is trying to defend their possibly tiny penis (I’m looking at you, Clinton). After Thursday’s GOP debate, I find it hard to believe that there were conservatives watching that at one point didn’t think to themselves, “These are our candidates?” Because I know that if I was a traditional conservative, I would be crapping myself every debate worried that one of these guys could potentially be running our country. Let’s get down on a similar level, even if you are a hardcore Trump supporter as if the candidates weren’t part of a Republican party. I want you to re-watch the most recent GOP debate. Would you still want to support any of these candidates? Something tells me that the answer would be no. But because they are Republican, you’d be willing to let it slide. If Democrats were saying some of the comments that Trump has said in the past, they

hits these topics harder than you would think for a movie aimed at children. The way problems are portrayed isn’t violent or disturbing, but very ham-fisted and complex. So much so, that the message outweighs how funny or smart “Zootopia” could’ve been. Even the police work Judy and Nick get into has a noir-type feel to it that may come off as boring to kids. The details and intricacies of the laws and regulations Judy goes through are very quick and thrown about, so much so that sometimes even I was unsure of what she was doing. What could have been a clever “Animal Farm” approach to the big topics that “Zootopia” wants to talk about instead becomes a heavy-handed, metaphor-laden mess, both as a movie and as a social commentary. Instead of a creative city (think Monstropolis from “Monsters Inc.”) filled with enter-

taining sights and sounds, we get a large, typical American city with the people turned into animals. While some people-to-animal conversions are funny and have their own wit, the overall humor in the movie is incredibly predictable. However, Bateman and Goodwin offer some excellent voice acting. Bateman, in particular, steals the show as the smooth talking Nick. But the two character’s relationship is another failed writing aspect. Instead of a heart-warming, organic growth between the two, we get a buddy copz clichéd checklist that’s filled out along the way. The lessons “Zootopia” throws out are not bad things to reflect on. But the substanceover-style really drags the film down from the equally creative and lesson-teaching romp it could have been.

Women’s basketball earns regular season conference title BRANDON TJEPKES

Sports Editor

The UNI women’s basketball team finished the season as the MVC regular season champions after defeating Evansville on Saturday, 61-48. Madison Weekly started off the game with two three-pointers to gain the early 6-0 lead. After an Evansville layup, Jen Keitel made two freethrows to increase the lead to 8-2. Evansville responded with a 10-0 run to end the first quarter with a 12-8 Panther deficit. The second quarter began with the Panthers scoring a

9-0 run to gain a 17-12 lead. The Purple Aces retaliated with an 8-2 run to get ahead once again. Hannah Schonhardt scored four points to end the half with a 23-20 Panther lead. A Keitel layup started the third quarter to increase the Panther lead to 25-20. Evansville managed a 6-2 run to cut the lead to 27-26, but they could not get any closer. Weekly drained a three to kickstart a 10-0 run. An Evansville three-pointer was not enough as UNI responded with a 7-0 run to end the third quarter, 44-29. Evansville used the first seven minutes of the fourth quarter to score a 13-4 run to

cut the lead to 48-42. Weekly and Stephanie Davison teamed up for five points to make some breathing room. With time running out, the Purple Aces resorted to fouling to put pressure on the Panthers’ free throws. But the Panthers made eight out of 10 attempts to end the game with the 61-48 final score. Weekly led the Panthers with 20 points while Keitel was second with 12. Sorenson earned a double-double thanks to her 11 points and 11 rebounds. This title marks the second under head coach Tanya Warren, who also won the regular season title in the 2010-2011 season. The

Panthers’ 15 conference victories ranks second in school history, trailing the 17 conference victories recorded by

Securing his first victory of the tournament, Cabell defeated Missouri’s Cody Johnston in a 10-6 decision that advanced him to the semifinals. Taking on Newton Smerchek of Central Michigan, Cabell earned his only major decision of the weekend, pummeling his opponent 15-6 and advancing to the finals.
