It took almost three hours, a fifth set and a total of 249 points, but the Panthers managed to defeat the Lady Cyclones of Iowa State. The Panthers won their match before the fifth largest crowd in McLeod volleyball history. ISU was a top 30 team receiving votes while, UNI was one game over .500 and was coming off of get-

Remembering a lost Panther NICK FISHER Executive Editor

A mass of mourning students surrounded the campanile Monday evening. They exchanged hugs and cried tears of sorrow. Fond memories elicited the occasional laughs. They were grieving the death of Nathan Twedt, a sophomore finance major whose body was recovered from the Iowa River Saturday evening. His death is still under investigation. Nic Redmond, junior mar-

keting major, knew Twedt like a brother — Redmond’s father was dating Twedt’s mother. Redmond’s relationship with Twedt went back 10 years. “He had this energy,” Redmond said. “He had all the happiness in the world, that kid. And it’s just such a shock, you know. I just didn’t see this coming.” Redmond said he’d been with Twedt just an hour before Twedt’s death. They were tailgating in Iowa City prior to the University of Iowa vs. Iowa State

University football game. The Johnson County Sheriff’s office told the NI that investigations are still ongoing. They’ve confirmed Twedt was in Iowa City for the football game, and that there was nothing suspicious about his death. “We’re still working on it,” said Lieutenant Doug Gwinn. “We need to be certain.” “I just don’t understand it — how such a young soul just vanished,” Redmond said through tears.

ting swept by #4 Kansas on Saturday. Thanks to some near-record setting performances, UNI was able to overcome by a set score of 27-29, 40-38, 25-23, 25-17, 15-10. The first set saw ISU jump to 5-0 lead only to have UNI tie at 7-7. From there it was back and forth until ISU took the lead 20-18. UNI was able to stop the first few set points and even got one of their own at 26-25, but ISU eventually closed out the set on their fourth set point. It was the begining of what would be a very competitive match. The second set defined UNI’s season

thus far. UNI jumped out to a 14-6 lead and grew it to a 21-15 lead, but then UNI dropped two set points to allow the Clones to tie it at 24 all. From there it was a battle that saw 16 set points, six for ISU and 10 for UNI. The Panthers overcame it thanks to junior Heather Hook’s service ace. There were 15 ties in the second set alone. The third set saw ISU lead for the first half at 17-11, but UNI was able to tie at 20 points apiece and eventually win on the first set point. See VBALL, page 6

Power outage shocks UNI campus CLINTON OLSASKY News Editor

On Monday, September 12, UNI experienced a campuswide power outage shortly after 6 p.m., which lasted for approximately 48 minutes, according to Physical Plant Director Michael Zwanziger. Zwanziger explained the cause for the power outage, saying, “We had an issue in the power plant where a feeder line that ran power for the plant failed. And because of that failure, it ended up taking out the controls for the plant – the power in the power plant – which ended up taking out power throughout the system.” According to Zwanziger, UNI receives its power from

two primary sources. In addition to generating its own power, the university buys power from Cedar Falls Utilities (CFU). “We generally don’t make all the power we use, so we buy a lot of it from Cedar Falls Utilities,” Zwanziger said. “We have a couple of different lines coming in from them for redundancy. So if we do have a problem, we can tie into that line. And that’s, in effect, what we ended up doing in this case. “We bypassed some of what we were doing at the power plant and put it onto that Cedar Falls Utilities feeder […] We’re actually in the middle of replacing the failed component in the power plant, but right now,

everything’s up and running.” According to Zwanziger, there were a total of 15 to 20 staff members from the physical plant who worked until about 11 o’clock getting most of the systems operating again in the various build-

ings on campus. “So at this point, we’re just running off of one of the Cedar Falls Utilities tie lines we have,” Zwanziger said. “The issue at the plant is being corrected. We’ll get that back on line; campus won’t see a blip when we do it because there’s a switch gear that we can use to tie in our system into [CFU’s] system.”

Twedt was from the Marion area, and graduated from Linn-Mar High School in 2015. Nearly 200 people — mostly students, but also administrators, campus ministers and counselors — gathered around the campanile to remember Twedt. David Glenn-Burns, campus minister representing Threehouse: A Wesley Foundation, addressed those gathered, reading from poems

and Psalm 23. “There’s no right way to grieve,” Glenn-Burns said. “But we are gathered tonight as a visible sign of that grieving.” He encouraged those in attendance to raise their lit cell phones — standing in for candles due to a windy evening — for a moment of silence. That moment stretched out for 20 minutes until some 25 students formed a huddle directly beneath the campanile, mourning silently together. Redmond said Twedt had many close friends, saying

Twedt had a unique energy that drew people in. He recalled a family trip to Mall

Melissa Johnson, senior global studies, political science and history major, said she was working during the power outage. “I was about to leave work. I work at the Sabin computer lab, so the power outage was a tad inconvenient,” Johnson said. “At first, I was confused […] We thought we blew a fuse because the generator lights came on.” Zwanziger said there are a number of emergency generators around campus that provide power to buildings during outages. “We have a few buildings that don’t have an emergency generator to them, but most major buildings do,” Zwanziger said. “So they’ll run lights in corridors and in main lobby areas – lights safety systems for the fire alarm, things like that – that are on emergency power.” Adrian Mitchell, junior graphic design and communication major, described his experience during the power outage while in his dorm room in Shull Hall. “My fans and lights turned out, and then I waited about 20 seconds and stuck my head out the door,” Mitchell said. “My neighbor did the same and his power was also out. We saw a girl stick her head out her door down the hall, and we asked if her power

Within 10 minutes, a bunch of people started flocking outside, and someone yelled, ‘How am I supposed to watch Netflix?’ – which I thought was pretty funny.” Zwanziger was thankful that the power outage didn’t occur earlier in the day during classes and the work day. However, he did lament the fact that it happened during meal periods for the department of residence. Drake Thatcher, senior computer science major, was working at the south greeter station in the Piazza dining center during the power outage. “We couldn’t let people in for five to 10 minutes. I had to write down students’ ID numbers instead of swiping cards,” Thatcher said. “Around 20 minutes in, I thought it was going to [last for] two hours. We were planning on not serving late night [dinner], which made me wonder how long it was going to be.

NI CORRECTIONS:

In the Sept. 11 issue of the Northern Iowan, there were two inaccuracies reported in the story “Cyber hacking raises concerns at UNI.” First, the NI incorrectly reported that five of UNI’s departmental servers were hacked in 2014. This, in fact, occurred at Iowa State University. Secondly, the NI incorrectly referred to UNI’s data breach in March 2014 as a hack, when there is no direct evidence of it being a hack. The NI sincerely regrets these errors.

VOLUME 113, ISSUE 06

French program restored from ashes My time at UNI started in the Fall of 2012, just after the fall of many programs on campus. Unfortunately for UNI, many of the programs cut were language programs including French, German and Russian, among others. For some perspective, each of the three above languages held one major in the language itself, one with a teaching emphasis and a minor. This means that by removing their programs, six majors and three minors were removed from UNI’s roster. Moreover, the faculty was blindsided by the action to remove the programs, resulting in an astounding 18 grievances raised by the United Faculty – UNI’s affiliate Union of the American Association of University Professors – and spearheaded by Betty DeBerg, a now retired professor of American religion. Seventeen of these grievances were ruled in favor of the faculty. The newest in this line of victories comes from

Julie Husband, head of the Department of Language and Literatures at UNI, and the team of professors concerned with the return of French and other programs. Though courses in French and German have been offered for those who need to fulfill the language requirement of the Liberal Arts Core, students like myself might think twice about attending an institution without a fully functioning language program. Believe me, I thought more than twice. Through the efforts of professors like Flavia Vernescu and Elizabeth Zwanziger, the department has teamed up with Université de FrancheComté in Besançon, France to present a rare opportunity to UNI students in the form of a brand new French major, which kicked off this semester. This new program allows students to spend two years at UNI completing their LAC courses and a number of language requirements necessary for the major, and end their time in Besançon with a final two years in France. “We wanted to offer UNI students a truly unique BA major in French. To our knowledge no other uni-

versity in the United States offers a French dual degree program. For UNI tuition, a student can study for two years at UNI and in Besançon, and earn both the French license and an American BA. It’s a terrific opportunity,” Husband when asked about the major. Not only are UNI students paying UNI tuition, but cost of living estimates are significantly lower in France when compared to campus living in the US.

Now, I have two majors, which means I will technically graduate with two degrees from UNI when I complete my fifth year. If I had the opportunity to achieve two degrees from two institutions in two countries inside of four years, I would not have hesitated to take that opportunity. There is nothing like this that I have ever seen, and the most beautiful part is that through these efforts UNI is healing from the massive

cuts to programs and faculty from the beginning of my time here. More astounding than the opportunities provided by the major, which are staggering in and of themselves, is the fact that our university has shown the resiliency to roll with the punches and bounce back – and all in the span of one student’s time on campus. And none of it would have been possible without the faculty’s hard work and dedication.

at Lawther Field, followed by a Friend-to-Friend training with UNI counselors, and Kevin Hansen speaking with his program titled “Secret Regrets.” Lime green t-shirts and bracelets will be offered for donations throughout the week: every single dollar will go into a fund to help UNI students receive psychiatric services. There are several large on-campus searches that are currently underway. The biggest search that has just begun is the UNI Presidential search, with Hunter Flesch serving as the student representative on this committee. The Vice President of Student Affairs search has also begun, and Avery Johnson will be helping select this new administrator. Once the new President of UNI is selected the Vice President of Student Affairs selection will be made shortly after. Lastly, a search for a Director of the Center for Multicultural Education will be gearing up in the upcoming weeks. The hope is to have all of these positions filled by the end of the Fall semester. These are some of the large projects that NISG will

be focusing on this semester. Along with these initiatives, NISG continuously works to improve student life and help make UNI a welcoming and inclusive campus. We are striving to engage as many students as possible to ensure students are making the most out of their time here at UNI. Finally, to any students who are reading this article:

A 21-year-old tradition of local and regional handmade goods sold at Mohair Pear on College Hill continues with the sixth annual Pear Fair. The event will be this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on College Hill. The Pear Fair is an open-air, indie craft fair that will feature more than 30 local and regional vendors selling a variety of handmade goods. It will be held in the parking lot next door to Octopus on the Hill. “This is our sixth Pear Fair and we’ve seen everything from turban headbands, wallets, natural soaps and body scrubs, beautiful dreamcatchers, paintings and prints, ceramics, knitted scarves and hats, soy candles and so much more.” said Mohair Pear co-owner, Barb Schilf.

Many students are looking forward to attending this year’s Pear Fair. “I am so excited to see the pear fair continually get larger,” said Taylor Ross, senior anthropology major. “It is so important to recognize and support the various types of local talent we have and that is something Barb and Dave have really brought attention to in Cedar Falls.” Megan Tomson, junior social work major, said that she is looking forward to purchasing locally made artwork for her apartment. “I went for the first time last year and had a lot of fun looking around and meeting some really cool and talented people,” said Tomson. “Supporting local small businesses and vendors is an awesome way to get involved in the community, and going to the pear fair is a great way to show that support!”

FILM REVIEW

“Sully” portrays Hudson miracle story JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic

In Januar y 2009, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenburger and copilot Jeff Skiles managed to save the lives of all 155 passengers by landing on the Hudson River after collision with a flock of geese caused engine failure. From director Clint Eastwood comes a biopic about the events both before and after of what became known as the “Miracle on the Hudson.” Cinematography 3/5 Tom Stern, a photographer in Eastwood’s movies, does an excellent job with mood setting visuals, especially during the quiet scenes when we see Sully by himself. Whether it’s early morning jogs through New York, or a character lost in thought in the whirlpool of overnight fame, these scenes are some of the most quietly sentimental in the film.

SOCCER

Women’s soccer falls to EIU 3-0 KEVIN DEITRICK Sports Writer

On September 11, the women’s soccer team traveled to Charleston, Illinois, to take on the Eastern Illinois Panthers (EIU). UNI came into the game with the record of 3-3-1, winning three of their last four.

The Panthers have seen much improvement in their last four games, looking for another win against a 1-5 Eastern Illinois team. Eighteen minutes into the game, EIU scored the first goal of the game. Kayla Stolfa assisted Kathleen Mackinnon with a pass from the left corner, which allowed Mackinnon to give the ball a quick kick

into the goal. Both teams played impressive defense until Eastern Illinois’ Kate Olson scored a header off of a direct kick. Eastern Illinois would add one more goal on the 57th minute of the game, totaling their lead to 3-0. UNI could not come back in this game, losing 3-0 as the final score. UNI allowed five shots

on defense and offensively, took 15 total shots with just six that were on goal. On Sept. 16, the Panthers will travel to Manhattan, Kansas to take on Kansas State. The Wildcats come into this game with a record of 3-4-2, so fairly similar to UNI’s record of 3-4-1. This could be a close game. On offense, the

Panthers have 122 total shots compared to Kansas’ 88. The Wildcats, however, have a strong defense as well. They have allowed 121 total shots by their opponents, which is right on par with UNI, but have only allowed nine goals. The Panthers are looking to get back to .500 on the season.

NFL week one: Highlights, upsets and updates RYAN HERRING

Sports Columist

Week one of the NFL season is in the books and we have a lot to dissect. However, first thing’s first: if your favorite NFL team won week one, don’t get too excited just yet. Also, if your favorite NFL team lost week one, don’t panic- unless you are a Los Angeles Rams fan- then you might want to start panicking. The Rams are the only team in the NFL that got shut out in week one and the team to shut them out was the San Francisco 49ers, who finished last season 5-11. The 49ers breezed to a 28-0 win on Monday Night Football, delighting both San Francisco fans as well as all the salty fans from St. Louis, furious that the Rams moved cities. This was just one of the three games decided by double digits, meaning that the majority of the week one NFL games were really good.
