UNI 7:

On March 16, 1970, a group of 7 students stayed the night in then-UNI President J.W. Maucker’s home, and despite being asked to leave, stayed up ordering pizzas when they got hungry. The demonstration sought a space for minority students to gather and for the administration to address hostilities minority students were facing on campus. The sit-in and subsequent movement would lead to protests, arrests and, eventually, a space for multi-cultural students to gather.

activism impacts campus nearly half a century later

Tony Stevens, Terry Pearson, Chip Dalton, Joe Sailor, Ann Bachman, Bryon Washington and president of the AfroAmerican Society (AAS) Palmer Byrd were part of this group of student protestors who would forever be infamously – or heroically – known as the UNI 7. NISG’s director of diversity, Hansen Breitling, considers the UNI 7 to be heroes. “We learned about them on our trip, the Chicago Connection trip, which was connecting minority students with minority alumni,” Breitling said.

Christopher J. Shackleford, a research and programming assistant at the Sullivan Brothers Iowa Veterans Museum, wrote his master’s thesis on the incident, entitled “Student activism at the University of Northern Iowa during the Maucker years (1967-1970).” The thesis discusses the events that led to the demonstrations, beginning back in 1968, when Charles E. Quick, then-assistant history professor, proposed a reform that challenged the racial dynamics in Cedar Falls. This reform started to take shape

TIMELINE OF EVENTS

with Maucker asking Daryl Pendergraft, who had served in a number of administrative positions, to establish the Committee on University Responsibility in Minority Group Education (COURIMGE). However, COURIGME struggled to implement any real changes on campus, which led to AAS to take action. William Lang, then-vice president of academic affairs, was served a list of demands from AAS on Nov. 6, 1969. Both Lang and Pendergraft penned a history of UNI at that time period, titled “A Century of Leadership and Service.” The Lang-Pendergraft book explained in-depth how Maucker invited AAS in and had an hourlong discussion with them. However, once it became evident that Maucker was not going to give them the decisive answer that they wished for, the situation broke down. Maucker asked them to leave, but the students refused, spending the night and having several pizzas delivered to them as the Mauckers presumably slept upstairs. Sailor recently commented on why he had joined the fight for the cultural center. See UNI 7, page 2

UNI wrestler to participate in Olympic Trials IRIS FRASHER/Northern Iowan

This past weekend, Cedar Falls hosted the Last Chance Olympic Trials Qualif ier tournaments for wrestling. Over 175 wrestlers com-

peted in the Greco Roman, freestyle and women’s freestyle categories. Only one spot was available in each weight class to advance to the Olympic Trials. UNI heavyweight Blaize Cabell decided to participate in the 125-kilo free-

style tournament after the inability to participate in the NCAA championships. Cabell had a very successful collegiate career with UNI. He qualified for the NCAA tournament three times, finished top-three in MAC championships three

times, went undefeated in MAC duals in two consecutive years and recently won the 2016 MAC heavyweight championship. Cabell’s collegiate career was cut short when an illness forbade him to compete in his final NCAA tourna-

ment. Cabell reached the finals of the heavyweight tournament thanks to two 12-2 tech falls over Kevin Christman and Ben Durbin of the Cyclone Wrestling Club. See CAMPBELL, page 6

Students discuss micro aggressions |

APRIL 4, 2016

JACOB MADDEN Staff Writer

In an effort to continue pushing for diversity on campus, the Inclusive Communities Team, part of the Department of Residence (DOR), held an event titled March Against Micro Aggressions on Tuesday, March 29 in the Maucker Union ballroom. Approximately 80 students attended. The committee wanted to focus on a fundamental problem with diversity on campus, and chose micro aggressions as the vehicle for this, according to committee member,

senior elementary education and Spanish double major, Crystal Pottebaum. The committee went to the Union and each dining center to ask students what constitutes a micro aggression. Then, students were asked to hold up boards about some known micro aggressions. The boards that students held up included messages they had heard or that they had witnessed. These included messages ranging from ‘Just because I’m a Republican, doesn’t mean I’m racist,’ to several women holding up the sign, ‘Go make me a sandwich!’ These events had a

great turnout, according to Pottebaum, and the weeks of projects culminated into the event held on March 29 in the Union ballroom. The event began with a video, displaying pictures of the boards that students held up, as well as video clips featuring students explaining what they thought micro aggressions were and their experience with them. The event opened with a speech from Coree Burton, Resident Life Coordinator (RLC) of Shull Hall, about the importance of the event and the attendees’ participation. “I know you guys are the choir,” said Burton, “and we’re

These discussion tables rotated every seven minutes and featured RA’s who led the discussions and prompted the participants thinking. The discussions included both personal experiences with micro aggressions, as well as those who witnessed micro aggressions. While many students enjoyed the event, some felt that Burton’s description of “preaching to the choir” was accurate. “I didn’t learn much because I’m kind of a social justice nerd and this is something I’ve read a lot about,” said sophomore elementary education major, Danielle Templeton. “But I think it was very well organized, in

“Knowing that there were only 15 full-time black students spread apart all over campus,” Sailor said, “I felt a need for a place on campus to meet, come together and call it our own.” Then-AAS president, Palmer Byrd, continues the story. “The next morning, the word had spread that the BSU [Black Student Union] was sitting in at the President’s house and many of our white counterparts wanted to join us,” Byrd said. “Soon, parents and news outlets joined the growing protest movement.

We should have discussion on diversity [and] disability. We should have discussions on everything.” Gregor explained that once people are educated, she thinks that those micro aggressions will start to go away.

The 17-hour sit-in lead to the UNI 7 being charged with causing a public disturbance. This decision to take disciplinary action sparked significant student body opposition to the administration, but it was still a minority effort. “The majority of students at that time were not supportive of our position and tactics,” said Bryon Washington, one of the UNI 7. “In retrospect, I feel my role as part of a collective helped pave the way for establishing the Black Culture House at UNI, a positive vehicle for African American survival on See UNI 7, page 5 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

West’s Batman outshines 50 years later Last weekend, the caped crusader finally returned to the big screen in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” the latest installment in the DC Extended Universe. The highly-anticipated film was the first to feature both Batman and Superman, and droves of fanboys and fangirls alike flocked to their local movie theaters to see the two iconic superheroes duke it out. In fact, the film was so successful at the box office that it earned $422.5 million worldwide in its opening weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. It now holds the record for the biggest opening for a superhero film in history. However, despite all the commercial success the film has achieved, critical praise has been lukewarm at best. “Batman v Superman” currently enjoys a rather dismal score of 29 percent on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, with many reviewers criticizing the overly long 2 ½ hour running time, the incoherent and unfocused plot and the film’s over-reliance on special effects. And now it seems that this nearly universal negative word of mouth may have caught up with the film.

As of Saturday, April 2, “Batman v Superman” is estimated to earn only $51 million in its second weekend, according to Slash Film. This marks a massive 81.2 percent drop in box office earnings for the comic book blockbuster when compared to its much more impressive opening weekend numbers. Now, let me just state that I am a huge fan of movies. Secondly, I must admit that I am an unabashed fan of Batman. So naturally, when I had found out that a new film based on everyone’s favorite dark knight was coming out, I was pretty excited. That is, until the reviews started pouring in. Yes, it’s true. I have yet to see “Batman v Superman” because of the overwhelming negative critical response. But that’s because I don’t need to. After all, I have an alternative – a Batman flick from the past that boasts magnetic performances, out of this world costumes and makeup, tightly choreographed action sequences and dialogue that has to be heard to be believed. You guessed it. I’m talking about 1966’s “Batman: The Movie,” starring Adam West. In addition to being the year in which a brand new Batman movie hits theaters, 2016 is also the year that marks the 50th anniversary of this undeniable classic. With a much more respectable Rotten Tomatoes score

of 80 percent to its credit, “Batman: The Movie” is, objectively speaking, a better film than “Batman v Superman.” But what makes that the case? Well, let’s quickly look at each of the aforementioned criticisms that “Batman v Superman” has received and see what Adam West and company did differently in “Batman: The Movie.” Running time This is an easy one. Clocking in at a whopping 151 minutes, “Batman v Superman” has been accused of having a plot that simply drags to an inevitable and all too obvious climax. Conversely, “Batman: The Movie” has a much more manageable running time of 105 minutes. Unfocused plot According to the critics, the new film struggles from unkempt pacing, poor characterization and unnecessarily complex plot twists. On the other hand, in the Adam West film, the action unfolds with zest and verve and the characters are clearly motivated, with the only major confusion lying in Robin’s inexplicable ability to solve the Riddler’s seemingly unsolvable riddles. Special effects Critics have blamed “Batman v Superman” for relying way too much on special effects, thereby relegating the film’s story to only a secondary element. However, “Batman: The Movie” was able to seamless-

So here we are, graduation season is upon us. Students will flock to the graduation ceremony to receive their diplomas stating their achievement of making it through four years of college here at the University of Northern Iowa. And I’m one of them. Many graduates, most likely (I could just be assuming), have at least some sort of idea of what they’re going to do following Saturday, May 7. Some may already have job offers! And good for them! But some of us, even after four years, still have no idea what they are going to do with their lives. And that’s okay too. I currently am a double major in both psychology and English, and even with a vast amount of knowledge across these two majors, I’m still hesitant of what direction I want to

take my life. When I entered college, I had, like many, a somewhat good idea of what I wanted to do. However, with each passing semester, I kept having second thoughts. I don’t want to say that my original aspirations became less interesting, but more that I didn’t know if that was necessarily the direction for me. Another part of my plan when I entered college was that, when I did graduate, I wanted to go to grad school. However, semesters came and went, each one adding a little more stress on my well-being. It wasn’t until I took 22 credits one semester where I said to myself, “I think I need a break.” So, it’s not to say that grad school isn’t going to happen, but it’s not going to happen this year. I really wanted just a year or two to settle my mind; take a break from homework and the late-night studying. However, at first I was worried. Was it a smart idea to do that? What am I going to do

instead? What would my family think? So many more questions had me stressing out. But, due to wonderful professors and advisors, they all said that there is nothing wrong with either a) taking a break after graduation or b) still not having a set idea of what you want to do. The way I look at it, come May 7, when I graduate, I’m still going to have a BA in two different majors. Maybe somewhere down the line I’ll see something seeking one of my majors! My whole point to this is that, if you don’t have life figured out yet, it’s OK! You are not alone! In fact, I’m inclined to believe that there are more students graduating that are in the “I don’t know what to do now” category, versus the group that does have everything figured out. We’re all young for crying out loud! Most of us are in our early 20’s. Are we really supposed to have our lives figured out?

I’m graduating soon... and I still have no idea what’s next

Addressing mental health on campus TORI RAYNER Staff Writer

In light of the recent mental health issues the university has been facing, members of UNI’s administration have started the conversation on how to provide information and resources to those that need it. Members of the campus community came together for a forum to discuss some of the resources the university provides for students, faculty and staff. The panelists on the forum included five representatives:

Leslie Williams, Dean of Students, David Towle, director of the counseling center, Debby Ferguson associate director of student wellness, Mark RoweBarth, associate director of student wellness and Therese Callaghan, employee health and well-being coordinator in human resources. Several faculty members and a few students were also present and provided feedback on the programs the university has implemented, as well as things they hope to see in the future from the university concerning mental health issues. Williams explained her role on the panel as the advocate

from the student affairs department, and she discussed many of the resources that are accessible to students and faculty on campus. This included more than a dozen campus ministries located near campus, residence hall staff and even the Dean of Students’ office. “These are some of the things available to help students…and what you can do to help yourself when you’re dealing with these students coming to you with all of these issues,” Williams said. Ferguson discussed resources at the student health clinic for students that have any sort of needs relating to medication. The clinic currently has a part time psychiatrist available every Wednesday, a full time psychiatric nurse practitioner, and, more recently, a part time psychiatric nurse practitioner. Just this semester, the student health center proposed to bill students for psychiatric services in the fall of 2016. Previously, psychiatric services were free of charge. On average, 125 students

are referred for medication, and a third of the students at the counseling center are already on medication for mental health issues. Because of this, the student health clinic works closely with the counseling center. Towle talked about the services the counseling center provides and the increased use of the afterhours telephone counseling program that has been increasingly used in the past year. If a student, faculty or staff member is not available during hours of operation (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.), they are encouraged to use this service. Towle also disclosed that 850 students each year, on average, seek services from the counseling center for a variety of issues ranging from anxiety to substance abuse or eating disorders. “We have a variety of people that students can see,” Towle said. “I think that’s a good thing too, so [students] can get matched with a counselor that will be the most helpful to them.” Rowe-Barth went into detail about the mental health advocacy committee, which came about in January of this year. He said that thanks to this committee, several opportunities opened up for students, faculty, and staff to become involved in mental health awareness and support. These opportunities included: One is Too Many, a suicide prevention effort; Active Minds, a rekindled organization that promotes dialogue about mental health and its resources on campus; Art Can Help, Out of the Darkness, a walk for suicide awareness on April 16 and the spring into wellness event

which took place the week before spring break. Rowe-Barth explained that these were great ways to get involved and “play a role in creating a culture of care, connectedness, and belonging on campus.” Finally, Callaghan, focused on services provided to employees of the university through the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This program provides six in person counseling session for university employees at different locations across the nation along with resources for life coaching, financial consultation, legal consultation, and more. “I found that EAP is one of those things that people are like ‘yeah I’ve heard of that, I know of that,’ but when it’s you the individual that needs to use it sometimes you forget about that service,” said Callaghan. Callaghan also discussed the Family and Medical Leave Act, which highlighted how an employee qualifies for 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave and how it relates to mental health issues. Following this, an open discussion started in which both faculty and student asked questions and voiced their opinions on topics that were previously discussed. These varied from mental health and Family Education Rights and Privacy Act violations to resiliency building in the classroom. Those in attendance agreed that they must be more receptive of students and their mental health state as well as provide support to these students to help them succeed.

the campus.” The immediate backlash on March 30, 1970 included response from student groups. The student senate requested an investigation to decide if “the due process law” had been violated and voted to hold a referendum of the student body to test their support of the Dean of Students, according to the Lang-Pendergraft book. A “speak out” on student’s rights was held in the Union to an estimated crowd of 250 students and faculty. The talk led to a demonstration by about 100 students who marched from the Union to the administration building to protest the suspension of the UNI 7. Also on March 30, 10 members of the student senate declared themselves leaders of a new Provisional Revolutionary Student Government (PRG),

Panthers softball loses doubleheader to Indiana State DYLAN PADY

Sports Writer

The UNI women’s softball team took on Indiana State Sycamores this weekend. Their first matchup was set to take place on Saturday but due to a very windy day in Cedar Falls, the doubleheader was moved to Sunday afternoon. The Panthers lost their first game to the Sycamores 11-7. Indiana State scored early with four runs in the first inning. Caitlin Wnek stepped up to bat in the bottom of the first inning and put the ball just far enough from the Indiana fielder. She made it to second base as well as brining Micalla Rettinger back home for the first

point on the board for UNI. Later in the third inning, Wnek approached the plate again and sailed the ball into far right field for her third homerun of the season. Rettinger also scored during the homerun. The Panthers were still in the game down 4-3 after the fourth. But Indiana State’s Alexa Cavin scored a three-run homerun within the fifth to ignite a seven-point stretch between the fifth and sixth innings. Brooke Craig and Wnek led the Panthers with three RBI’s. The Panthers lost their second game, with a larger deficit of 11-2. UNI had the first runs of the game in the bottom of the third inning.

Bailey Lange hit a triple that gave Kate Kinnetz the go to home base. Shortly after her triple, Lange then followed with a score off an illegal pitch by Indiana’s Bailey Benefiel. While the Panthers managed to keep the 2-0 lead through three innings, the Sycamores took control of the game at the start of the fourth. The Sycamores used the last four innings to score eleven runs in their victory. These two games put the Panthers at a record of 24-11 and 4-4 in conference games. They look to play Iowa State on April 6, followed by a doubleheader on the road against Bradley University on April 9 and April 10.

From all the big upsets in the opening rounds with Saint Joes over Cincinnati, UNI over Texas, and the biggest upset of the tournament that destroyed everyone’s bracket, Middle Tennessee State over Michigan State. I was surfing the internet and came across an article by SB Nation, highlighting the madness of March. The article said that for the first time in NCAA Tournament history, 10 double-digit seeds won a first-round game. It also said that eight teams seeded No. 11 or worse have advanced into the second round, the highest such number in NCAA Tournament history. If you guys didn’t know, the Final Four was played TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE Saturday night. The first Villanova’s Ryan Arcidiacono smiles as he walks off the court after defeating game that played was Oklahoma. Villanova plays UNC Monday night at 8:19 p.m. Oklahoma versus Villanova.

for Syracuse. Some people didn’t even think that the Orange deserved to be playing in March. I have a theory. It’s called the Trump curse. With Trump shocking the world on his way to the Republican Nomination for President of the United States, there has to be a trickle-down effect. Let me explain: There are magical powers to the Don’s big orange face. Due to his success, the magical orange stuff that is on his face, has trickled down and effects everything else that’s orange. It has effected everything. Even the orange that I was eating came alive and started saying mean things to me (just kidding-that never happened). But the trickle-down effect had gotten to the Syracuse Orange. I mean, how else could they have made the Final Four? You be the judge. For North Carolina, it was anything but magic. For much of the year they have looked like the best team in the country, besides,

you know, when the Panthers beat them. With players like Brice Johnson, Kennedy Meeks, Justin Jackson and Linn Mar graduate, Marcus Paige, this team is a force to be reckoned with. It was no different in this game. From the tip, UNC had control of the game. The Orange were held to 40 percent shooting and 32 percent from three. North Carolina controlled the boards, out rebounded Syracuse 43-31, and they got really good ball movement with 18 assists. Four of North Carolina’s five starters had at least 13 points. Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson led the team with 16 points, Johnson led the team with nine rebounds and Joel Berry led the way with 10 assists. Trevor Cooney led the Syracuse with 22 points. UNC took care of the Orange, 83-66. This March has been very, very mad as has this entire season. It all comes to a close on Monday night. North Carolina will take on Villanova at 8:19 p.m.

Vegas. Freshman Max Thomsen also participated in the 65kilo tournament. Thomsen fell to Nazar Kulchytskyy, 10-2, in the quarterfinals. Thomsen notched an 18-16 decision over Elroy Perkin to advance to the third place match. Chance Pami ended Thomsen’s run with an 11-0 tech fall.

In the final match, Cabell only needed 55 seconds to pin David Zabriskie of Lehigh Valley Athletic Club to win the tournament. Zabriskie is a former Iowa State national champion. Cabell will join former teammate Joe Colon at the Olympic Trials. Colon punched his ticket to the trials in mid-December at the U.S. Senior Nationals and Trials Qualifier in Las
