Provost search continues NICK FISHER Staff Writer

The search for UNI’s replacement provost is entering its final stages; the final three candidate presentations are scheduled for the end of Frebruary and are open to the public.

“I think [President Ruud’s] hope is to identify someone by spring break, and that seems to be a reasonable expectation,” said John Johnson, history professor, executive vice president of academic affairs and chair of the Provost Search Committee.

The Provost Search Committee has been in pursuit of a replacement since the fall of 2014 after then-provost Gloria Gibson officially stepped down.

President Ruud promptly named Dr. Michael J. Licari interim provost — a position he has occupied for nearly seven months since Gibson’s resignation.

The Provost Search

Committee consists of 19 members, including faculty, staff, NISG President Kevin Gartman and a member of the Board of Regents.

“The committee works very well together — they are can-do people and they want to get the job done right,” Johnson said.

“We’ve been very busy since September. This is the critical, visible stage, but we have been doing a lot quietly and confidentially.”

At this point in the search, the committee has shortlisted five candidates, two of whom have completed their formal interviews and presentations. These two candidates are Michael J. Licari and A. James Wohlpart. All candidate interviews and presentations should be completed by the middle of February.

For Johnson, whichever candidate the President chooses will face many important issues.

“The provost sets the tone for our institution. He

or she is the person that we look to for leadership, and the person that the President looks to for leadership, on the academic side of the University,” Johnson said.

Anyone can look up the candidates’ resumes, presentations, and the presentation dates for the remaining candidates on UNI’s website at http://www.vpaf.uni.edu/ provostsearch/index.shtml.

According to Licari’s resume, his scholarly and teaching experience lies in the fields of political science and public policy, with the majority of his administrative experience coming in-house from UNI, including his current position as interim provost.

Wohlpart is currently serving as dean of undergraduate studies at Florida Gulf Coast University.

His scholarly and teaching experience rests in English and philosophy.

“Stellar” constellations on Earth BROOKE WIESE Staff Writer

Students had a chance to view the stars from a place a bit less chilly than the outdoors Thursday night. In a planetarium in 105 Latham Hall, students can view the stars each Thursday until spring break.

These shows are put on by Siobahn Morgan, professor of astronomy and department head for earth science.

Women at the helm at UNI KAYLEEN TURNIS Staff Writer

They may one day be mayors, representatives, senators or even presidents. And they were right here on the University of Northern Iowa’s campus.

The Northern Iowa Student Government held a training session program, “Elect her- Panther Women Win,” Saturday, Jan. 24 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The objective of “Elect Her” is to increase the number of women interested in running for political office, according to UNI student liaisons Rachel Gregory and Kerri Robinson.

This is the first time a school in Iowa has been chosen for this national

program as a training site.

49 participants registered for the event held in the Old Central Ballroom in Maucker Union. The participants represented a range of academic programs, classes and interests. Gregory and Robinson explained most program attendees either participated because they want to get involved in student government or to bolster their general leadership abilities.

The morning began with a light breakfast followed by introductions with appearances by President Ruud, Iowa State Chapter President Maureen White, “Elect Her” Facilitator Mollie Lam in addition to Gregory and Robinson.

According to a report published by the Iowa Office of the Auditor, there were some improper disbursements of funds made by Daniel Wells, the former director of International Dance Theatre, a student group at the University of Northern Iowa. The report, released on Jan. 22, alleges that Wells disbursed checks totaling $11,690 to himself

from an account set up for IDT at a local credit union.

The report also noted that Wells wrote $8350 in checks from his personal checking account to the IDT’s account.

Further, the report alleges that an estimated $3250 from ticket sales and payment for a recital at a Germanfest event remains undeposited. The report recommends better oversight for university funds.

The investigation spanned Dec. 1, 2005 to Feb. 28, 2014.

NISG has made a huge impact on its members, especially the current president of NISG, Kevin Gartman.

Gartman, a senior business teaching major, expressed how motivated NISG’s members are to serve UNI students. Gartman said being able to promote leadership opportunities and learning experiences helping to educate on matters of diversity, equality or even how food is delivered to your plate is a wonderful experience.

“But the feeling that you get when a student has a conversation or sends you an email about the motivation or inspiration they get from attending one of these events — the personal connection — that is the reason NISG continues to fund and put on programs like we do.”

Lam continued the program by initiating discussions on topics regarding the importance of women running for office and focused on four main exercises titled “campaign strategy,” “elevator speech,” “campaign simulation” and “What’s your issue?”

The program included speeches by Dr. Dianne Bystrom from Iowa State University, “The Importance of Message” and State Rep. Timi Brown-Powers, “Working Lunch – Making an Impact.”

A video message from Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds and voices of NISG officials Kristen Buldhaupt, Victoria Hurst, Heather Place and Beth Sullivan were also included.

The pressing question addressed in the open forum presentations was how the administration should differentiate UNI’s academic/ curricular mission from those of other universities. The University of Iowa and Iowa State University have more research-based missions while Iowa’s community colleges have trade-based missions.

As Iowa’s sole comprehensive university, UNI focuses on both research and teaching to prepare students for jobs.

I want to talk about a very pressing issue in higher education...

A. Wohlpart

“The worst-case scenario for a University is to be relatively expensive and completely undifferentiated,” Licari said in his presentation, citing a recent report by Bain & Company.

Licari also focused on prioritizing undergraduate education, embracing the unique roles of our faculty (professors as teacherscholars, as opposed to researchers) and focusing our efforts to improve communities at the local and state level. Licari concluded by highlighting the importance of providing increased access

to education, namely to nontraditional students and students who may come from a lower socioeconomic status.

Wohlpart’s presentation outlined the importance of a university’s vision, mission and strategic plan.

He acknowledged that a comprehensive institution needs to have and does have a wide focal scope. However, UNI may need to narrow the focus to provide integrity.

This does not mean gutting the Liberal Arts Core and reinventing UNI as a trade school.

“I want to talk about a very pressing issue in higher education, and that’s what I call, ‘the vocationalization of higher education,’” Wohlpart said.

Wohlpart knows the value of a liberal arts education, but emphasized the significance of applied learning. Wohlpart stated that he would incorporate the importance of applied learning through the means of internships and integrative learning — that is, faculty-student collaborations that apply principles learned in the classroom.

The remaining candidates will present from Feb. 1 through Feb. 10; all presentations will take place at 3:30 p.m. in the Lang Hall auditorium.

Attending the open forum will provide UNI students with a model for excellent public speaking and presentation skills, Johnson said.

“I think going to the open forum would give students an opportunity to see how thoughtful people deal with big issues. The presentations are very formal and well prepared,” Johnson said. “For people who are training for careers that will involve public speaking and presentation, this is a good opportunity to see people who do it well.”

Ernst misses the purpose at SOTU RILEY COSGROVE rileycos @uni.edu

In another attempt to represent Iowa in a respectful manner, newly elected Senator Joni Ernst was given the opportunity to present the official GOP rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union address on Jan. 20.

Standing in front of a green screen, Joni Ernst appeared to be trying to make viewers feel as if she was addressing them from Iowa, the Iowa state flag clearly visible in the background.

Ernst, now a U.S. Senator, was obviously in attendance for the President’s speech in the nations capital.

President Obama laid out a clear agenda on specifically what his administration was going to do over the next two years. Joni Ernst on the other hand felt the need to make sure that everyone in the country got to know her, regardless of if they were willing to listen or not.

One of the most important issues discussed that evening was the proposed bill regarding the construction of the Keystone Pipeline.

President Obama has

warned that this project will not bring any viable employment especially once construction of the pipeline is actually complete.

Joni Ernst continued to trick Americans into thinking this was a benefit to the country, insisting that not only would this project bring significant employment, but that it would have minimal environmental effects.

Of course it is an obvious fact that the structure of a steel tube itself pumping oil from one place to another isn’t necessarily harming the environment, but Ernst forgets that the substance that is being pumped through that steel tube will eventually end up having detrimental effects on the environment. Not to mention that it is not even American oil, it is Canadian. It turns out that Barack Obama doesn’t hate America after all!

Ernst likes to throw out a lot of topics on the table, but then she doesn’t finish her course. She talks about stagnant wages, but I did not hear her explain why she then has voted against a minimum wage increase in the state of Iowa.

In another desperate attempt for the Republican party to pretend they know what the “real” American is going through, Ernst deliv-

THINKSTOCK

A close-up of Iowa’s state flag. Columnist Cosgrove arugues newly elected senator Joni Ernst didn’t properly respond to the State of the Union Address for the GOP.

ered us a Sarah Palin-like one liner that was crafted to ensure it touched the lives of average people across the nation. Ernst informed us that her family did not have much but the sweat on their brow, so when it would rain she would tie bread bags to the outside of her shoes in order to protect them.

Again, instead of giving us an answer, let alone an honest

answer, Ernst stayed on script and pretended to act like she was qualified to give the address to begin with; after all she had already served 17 days in the Senate up to this point.

Most of the impractical and downright partisan policies that are most likely to be presented and passed in Congress throughout the next two years are likely to be

vetoed by President Obama.

Until then, let’s hope our elected leaders actually think about their constituents and address the problems that are occurring throughout the country. Most importantly, let’s hope our elected leaders think about what they are going to say before going on national television, especially when they are representing the home state of yours truly.

Basic etiquette while working in computer labs MONICA CLARK clarkmai @uni.edu

Being a senior English major, I have spent my fair share of time in UNI’s computer labs, hashing out lastminute papers, printing off short stories for my fiction workshops, or researching for upcoming papers, so with a large number of clocked hours in these computer labs, I have a list of unofficial rules I wish were in place. I will admit that some of these fall into my own personal list of pet peeves, but most of them should be common sense (although if I’m having to bring them up, maybe they aren’t). I also have to preface that most of these rules apply to smaller computer labs where there isn’t a lot of room and any noise is, well, noticeable. Very noticeable. And usually annoying.

Anyway, here we go.

1. Do not use small computer labs for large group work. I love it when four or

five people cluster around one computer, using the chairs, but not using the computers. Great. I’ll just kneel here awkwardly without a chair. I also love it when you argue loudly about what you’re doing, how your assignment is unfair, or how much you dislike a professor’s teaching style. Favorite bonus is when three of you print off the same thing. The same thing that happens to be 30 pages long. And then you throw away the extra copies. Not recycling them, but putting them in the trash. Fabulous.

I swear I’m not that big of a klutz, but your huge bag tripped me up while I was trying to get my two pages of paper . . .

2. Don’t talk absurdly loud with your friends. I know, I get it, I love hanging out with my friends too, but when I

have to blast music through my headphones to concentrate on writing my paper, you are probably talking too loud.

Technically speaking, since these computer labs exist on UNI’s campus, anyone trying to get work done has precedence, and although you probably don’t know I’m writing an eight page paper on feminist criticism, it’s always good to assume people are trying to get school work done, unlike you, who are talking about last night’s epic bar crawl.

3. Use. Headphones.

4. But also don’t blare your music. Then I have to blare my music, which means someone has to blare their music to cover up my music, and then we’re all going deaf.

5. Please, please, please do not print off obnoxious amounts of pages when there’s a lot of people in the lab. It’s probably for an important class, and you do probably have to print them off, but you see this line behind you? Yeah, we’d also like to get to class, only we didn’t try to print off half a book.

Also, don’t glare at me when I have to interrupt your book-

printing process by printing off two pages.

6. Don’t sit in a spot if you are using your own laptop and not the desktop computer.

Between class breaks it gets really crowded and desperate students need to print off things before running to class. You taking up that spot most likely means they have to run to a different lab.

And lastly: 7. Be aware of your space.

Don’t leave your chair block-

ing other people. Don’t leave your backpack and coat in the middle of the aisle. I swear I’m not that big of a klutz, but your huge bag tripped me up while I was trying to get my two pages of paper from the printer, after waiting in line behind two people printing off 35-page PDF files when the printer runs a page, pauses, whirrs a bit, starts up again, prints a page, pauses, whirrs a bit, starts up again, etc.

Foam ballin’ blast JOSIE ROBERTSON Staff Writer

Bongo ball, hosted by the Campus Activities Board, created quite a bit of noisy fun in the Maucker Union Ballroom Thursday night.

Though they have hosted similar activities such as laser tag in the past, CAB has never brought bongo ball to campus before.

Wendy Grimm, senior public relations major and executive member of CAB, classified the event as a de-stressing activity for the students on campus due to the second week of class.

The ballroom was

transformed into a paintball obstacle course, filled with inflatable paintball bunkers for players to hide behind.

Students played a game similar to paintball and capture the flag. Teams competed to capture one another’s flags while dodging foam balls shot out of defender cannons.

Teams of five were distinguished by different colored sweatbands provided by CAB. Though the gear worn by participants were nearly identical to that used for paintball, the game did not include paint or another well-known aspect to the original game, pain.

HANNAH GIBBS/Northern Iowan

A student gives directions during a game of Bongo Ball. Bongo Ball is a modified version of paintball that uses foam balls instead of paint.

Grimm guaranteed that though being shot may hurt a little bit, it did not compare to being hit by a paintball.

“It was intense,” said Jayda Reams, freshman anthropology major.

Re a m s s u c c e s s f u l ly avoided being hit by her opponents during her first round of bongo ball.

CAB has many more recreational activities planned for UNI students this semester including: the annual Egg Hunt, Battle Ball and Spring Week. CAB will also be providing students with free tickets to the Waterloo Black Hawks game on Feb. 27.

FILM REVIEW

Film based on Martin Luther King Jr. gets high marks JOSHUA ROUSE

Film Critic

Salem. Selma. Two places where persecution and prejudice took place and mark a dark page in American history. While this movie is only about the latter, it’s just very interesting that both towns are an anagram of each other and the same sort of problems happened in both places.

Directed by Ava DuVernay and written by Paul Webb and DuVernay, “Selma” is a fantastic presentation of the Selma

to Montgomery Right to Vote Marches of 1965.

With the Golden Globe of Best Original Song and four Golden Globe nominations- Best Motion Picture, Director, Drama and Actor, Selma is deserving of those nominations.

David Oyelowo plays the role of Martin Luther King Jr. with amazing finesse and ability. His mannerisms and acting style are very reminiscent of King.

Tom Wilkinson plays the morally conflicted President Lyndon Johnson clashing with King and the governor of Alabama,

George Wallace (played by Tim Roth) over the voting rights marches.

Some experts have raised qualms about the historical accuracy about the events in the film, particular the tense interactions between King and Johnson, but director DuVernay counters this criticism by stating that she is a storyteller, not a historian, and thus able to tweak the details to suit her needs.

Even with this in mind, “Selma” presents all of the details, truthfully or not, with utmost respect to both sides of the civil

rights movement.

“Selma” could have easily been a typical black versus white anti-racism movie. But it goes deeper than that. The hate crimes that occur are not blamed on one group of people, but rather on the ideals that fuel the hatred, such as racism.

An important aspect that “Selma” also points out as evil is the indecision and indifference people exhibit when such social issues come about.

Simply put; doing nothing is the same as committing the evil itself. That’s

where “Selma” got its power. It doesn’t rely on showing the whites beating down on the blacks.

It gives you the middle ground and shows you the whole story besides just blaming it all on narrow minded white men.

“Selma” is a visual treat, with Bradford Young (“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”) handling the cinematography with expert skill. The grainy, muted colors of the film quality and the costuming give a good feel for the 60’s.

“It’s important because it’s educational, it’s informative, and it’s free,” Morgan said.

She said she tells students about what’s going on in the sky as well as what students can look out for and find for themselves such as stars, constellations and planets.

In fact, Morgan said that there was a comet visible the week before, and there are other things she will mention at later shows.

Not all of these shows will be in the planetarium. After spring break, they will move outside to the obser vatory. “ G oin g outs i d e in Januar y and Febr uar y just doesn’t really appeal to people,” Morgan said.

Helping Morgan with these shows was Maddie Beeler, junior earth science major.

“I get to oversee what Dr. Morgan does and I’ve lear ned something new from her every time she does these shows. When

we’re at the obser vatory I show people the visible objects while Dr. Morgan oper ates the telescope,” Beeler said.

Anne Rollins, freshman undecided major, attended the event this past Thursday.

“I thought it was really cool that you could i n c o r p o r at e ancient mytholog y and all that into something that’s so present today,” Rollins said.

Rollins attended the event with Andy Saigh, freshman m a r ke t i n g major.

“I thought it was really cool how you could see even future skies...how you could see what was out there right now even though it’s all clouded over,” Saigh said.

For those who want a little extra credit, or simply to see some stars on a cold, cloudy night, the planetarium shows may be something to check out.

“It’s a nice thing to do on a Thursday night; to lear n about what’s always up in the night sky,” Morgan said.
