UNI alumna discusses exhibition COLBY WEBER Staff Writer
The fortunes within fortune cookies are not something that people typically dont give much consideration. However, to Jessica Barness, UNI graphic design alumna and associate professor at Kent State University, they are an opportunity to blend her love of text and graphic design together into an art piece. Barness once translated fortune cookie fortunes back and forth from Chinese to English and analyzed them in order to create a design piece. Several of Barness’ works were discussed during the opening reception of “The Reach and Richness of Design: The Elena Diane Curris Biennial Design Exhibition” on Monday, Oct. 8 at the UNI Gallery of Art. This exhibit was done in memory of Elena Diane Curris, daughter of
Constantine Curris and Jo Hern Curris. The Currises began the reception by praising UNI’s graphic design program and thanking art professor Roy R. Behrens for helping curate the show. After introductions, Barness spoke about her life and the graphic design projects she has worked on over the years. She discussed her Master of Arts (MA) exhibition, the last thing she worked on as a UNI student. “My exhibition for my MA that I completed here, it was more or less an environment,” Barness said. “I was investigating language in different contexts. In this case, it was vinyl lettering on these huge plexiglass panels that were suspended on the ceiling. There were three of them: a combination of poetic verse that I had written, shapes and ideas. It was an environment that kind of just sat in the middle of the room once it was

installed so you could take it all in.” Other examples of Barness’ work include wedding invitations from her previous job
at the Chicago-based company Paper Source. Barness has also helped index the work of design magazine “Emigre” by creating a web-
site where viewers can find writers, designers and typefaces that appeared during the magazine’s print run. See EXHIBITION, page 5
Preview: UNI Women’s Chorus reunion SARAH RITONDALE Staff Writer
UNI’s School of Music will be hosting a reunion and 130th anniversary celebration and reunion of the Women’s Chorus on Friday, Oct. 12 and Saturday, Oct. 13. About 20 to 30 alumni—some who graduated over 50 years ago—will be returning to perform with the current members of the Women’s Chorus. “We have people coming back, the earliest graduated in the 50s and then up until people who graduat-
ed last year, which is awesome,” said Amy Kotsonis, assistant professor of choral ensembles and music education. The Women’s Chorus was founded in 1888 and is the oldest ensemble on campus, both instrumentally and chorally. The School of Music decided that the 130-year anniversary would be a good time to celebrate how long the women’s chorus has been around, since it dates back to when UNI was the Iowa State Teachers College. “For this particular
ensemble, the history is so rich and the woman that started this, Julia Curtis, started a bunch of the ensembles on campus and was one of the first music professors here,” Kotsonis said. “It used to be called the ‘Sicilian Glee Club,’ and then around the 40s, they changed the name to ‘Women’s Chorus.’ So, it started with 16; we have about 75 on average each semester.” Today, most women in
the chorus are non-music majors. Kotsonis said she loves that these women are choosing to have the chorus in their lives despite it not being required. Kotsonis said she is curious to hear the stories of the returning alumni and why they have chosen to come back. She hopes that the women currently in the chorus and alumni alike have an enjoyable experience. “There [were] a lot of
different directors over the last 20 or 30 years, so it was a chance for us to pull all these people back that had been here—at all these different times and had different directors—to come back and connect with the current group, and just celebrate the history of the group and make connections with our current students,” Kotsonis said.

UNI to host satellite voting OCTOBER 11, 2018 |
CALEB STEKL Staff Writer
Worried about being prepared to vote in the midterm elections this November? Worry not—according to UNI’s website, students will be able to vote on campus at any of three satellite locations from Wednesday, Oct.17 through Thursday, Oct. 25. The purpose is to allow students to vote early, removing the hassle of finding precincts and registering on time. Students will be able to register to vote and cast a ballot the same day, and those who choose to vote on campus will be casting absentee ballots. These ballots will be signed and sealed in envelopes and not counted until election day. There will be three voting locations on campus: Redeker Dining Center, Schindler Education Center and Maucker Union. According to UNI’s website, voting will be available at the Redeker Center on Wednesday, Oct.17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Thursday,
Oct. 18 from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.; and Friday, Oct. 19 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Ballots can be cast in Schindler Education Center on Oct. 17 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., and Maucker Union from Oct. 22 to 25, 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. All satellite locations will be handicapped accessible and staffed by trained precinct officials. According to the Black Hawk County Auditor’s Office (BHCAO), students should prepare by attaining proper documentation and registering with the correct precinct before attending satellite locations. This will prevent long wait times and ensure everyone has the opportunity to cast a ballot, the BHCAO said. For students who are not registered, all that is required is their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their social security number. If students are not registered in the precinct in which they are casting their ballot, or do not have a driver’s license, they will be required to sign an oath attesting to their

through the Iowa Secretary of State’s website, mail in a registration form to the Blackhawk County Auditor’s Office or register in person on election day. “Satellite voting is an easy, convenient option to participate in our democracy that is just like voting on election day,” said Danielle Templeton, senior elementary education major who has been an advocate for satellite voting on campus. “We elect policymakers who affect our lives, and this is our chance to make our voices heard.”

SYDNEY HAUER Executive Editor
Help the climate crisis by voting OCTOBER 11, 2018 |
The United Nations released a climate report this week that was written and edited by 91 scientists from 40 different countries who analyzed more than 6,000 studies. They predicted a catastrophic future. If our greenhouse gas emissions stay at their current rates, the atmosphere will warm up by 2.7 degrees by 2040. What does that mean? Our coastline will flood, intense droughts will occur, poverty will increase and wildfires, hurricanes and tornadoes will become more frequent. We are already beginning to see that future. This is going to be deadly for billions of people around the world. Human activity has already increased the atmosphere temperature by 1.8 degrees since the 1850s. We are over halfway to the 2.7 degrees. The report continued by discussing the greenhouse reduction pledges in the Paris Climate Agreement
that Trump has pulled out of. Those pledges will not be enough to prevent 3.6 degrees of warming, which is the goal of the agreement. How can we stop this? We have to make aggressive policy changes. Worldwide, the greenhouse pollution rates must be reduced by 45 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050. In addition, the report said that coal as an energy source would need to drop from 40 percent now to 1-7 percent by 2050, essentially calling for the elimination of coal. Renewable energy like wind and solar need to increase from 20 percent to 67 percent. The report recommended aggressive taxes on carbon dioxide emissions. Under the Obama administration, carbon dioxide pollution was about $50 per ton and under the Trump administration, it is about $7 per ton. For the taxes to be effective on reducing greenhouse gases, the report urges for the price for a ton of carbon dioxide pollution needs to be $135 to $5,500 by 2030 and between $690 and $27,000 per ton by 2100. According to the New

York Times, “avoiding the most serious damage requires transforming the world economy within just a few years, said the authors, who estimate that the damage would come at a cost of $54 trillion. But while they conclude that it is technically possible to achieve the rapid changes required to avoid 2.7 degrees of warming, they concede that it may be politically unlikely.” Well, what can UNI students do about this? We can vote, reduce our own waste and urge UNI to participate in more sustainable efforts. First, all these policies that I discussed above are created and reinforced by our elected officials. We are in the middle of a climate crisis and we need to vote to save our planet! Second, make sure that you are being critical of your own actions. Are you using 30 plastic bags every week? Are you leaving your lights and TV on when you aren’t home? Are wasting a lot of paper doing schoolwork? I am not saying be perfect, but maybe reduce your waste by simply turning off your lights when they’re not being used. Third, we need to urge

UNI to be more sustainable as an institution. There have been multiple students and groups that have urged for more sustainable practices at our university that have gone ignored. It is great that we have an amazing recycling program, many water bottle refill stations and solar panels on the Multimodal Transportation Center. Those are amazing steps, but we can do better. Many universities around the U.S. have completely turned to composting waste, and UNI should also make that step. It is a very doable, easy switch that can have lasting positive impacts for
years to come. We should have compost bins all around the union, dining centers and convenience stores. We should eliminate plastic bags and straws from our campus. We should turn off more lights on our campus. When large organizations like UNI make these changes, they have the power to make a huge, sustainable difference. Let’s do better, UNI. During this climate crisis, your actions are important. Please make sure that you are voting, reducing your waste and urging for positive changes in your communities.
Assault doesn’t need to be recounted to be valid the most recently appointed Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh. For those who don’t know, here’s a short recap: Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault in a confidential letter written by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and sent to Senator Dianne Feinstein of California who was a ranking member of the Judiciary Committee. This was back in late July. Since then, the letter was leaked without Ford’s name (or her consent), and in the inter-
est of preserving the validity of the letter and showing the nation Kavanaugh’s true character, Ford made the courageous decision to come forward and publicly claim the letter as her own. Since coming forward, Ford has faced There’s nothing anyreporters invading her privaone could say or do to make cy, inaccuracies being spread what happened last weekand critics on both sides of end acceptable.

confirmation as Supreme Court Justice, and then was confirmed into the Supreme Court by a 50-48 vote in favor of him. Kavanaugh was sworn into the Supreme Court for his lifetime appointment later that evening. Sadly, the United States Justice System and government in general frequently haven’t been on the sexual assault survivor’s side and tend to define consent in whatever way works best for their political agenda. In light of that, it’s time to go back to the basics and what consent is and isn’t in the political age we are currently living in. By confirming Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991, the United States sent a message to its citizens by not viewing Anita Hill’s harassment allegations as valid and truthful. In Thomas’ confirmation hearing, Hill had to recount painful details and moments from the sexual harassment she experienced multiple times for the Committee to believe her answers. In reality, you have no obligation to recount the harassment or assault you experienced for it to be valid and
truthful. Your story is yours, you owe it to no one, and it is valid and truthful just by being yours. By confirming Kavanaugh in 2018, the United States sent another powerful message to its citizens: despite the low rates of reporting false sexual assault accusations, despite having everything to lose, survivors can’t just be believed. The government is wrong. Survivors can and will be believed. Your experience is valid and important. You are valued no matter what anyone else says. We remember survivors who have been brave enough to speak out against their perpetrators: Anita Hill speaking out against then nominee for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, former House Aide Kari Tupper for speaking out against then Washington Senator Brock Adams and Christine Blasey Ford, Julie Swetnick and Deborah Ramirez for speaking out against Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, and all other survivors who have spoken out against their assailants, in addition to those who have chosen not to.

Flash talks address inclusivity in art SIERRA STEEN
Managing Editor
Kinks, hobbits and gay subculture. These three topics were covered in flash talks that took place in Rod Library on Monday, Oct. 8 as part of the annual Iowa Museum Conference. Other topics in the conference included legal issues in museums, the power of inclusivity in exhibits and the preservation of oral history. One session titled “Flash Talks - Inclusive Art Exhibits Power” was presented by three UNI art students: Joel Wisner, Michelle Patrilla and Mariah Piippo. Wisner and Patrilla had been enrolled in the course “That’s So Gay: An Exploration of Homophobia and Camp in Art,” while Piippo was in the “Myth and Narrative in Art” course, both instructed by art history professor Charles Adelman in the Spring 2018 semester. While the topics covered in these classes varied from each other, they were both relevant to supporting the need for inclusivity in art and literature. Wisner gave his speech on “The Vanillazation of Kink Culture,” addressing the different aspects of how sex is viewed in society and in art — notably, what makes art sexual or not. He also discussed sexual nature in art created by gay artists, using Felix D’Eon as a main talking point. “[D’Eon] uses his art as a tool with which to tell stories of historically oppressed and marginalized queer communities,” reads D’Eon’s biography on his website. “By painting images of queer love, seduction, sex and romance, the gay subject is stripped of its taboo nature.”

Patrilla’s flash-talk was over “Gay Subcultures,” discussing different identities and social groups in the LGBT+ community. Some examples included bears, otters, butch lesbians and lipstick lesbians. She also covered the Lavender Effect, a nonprofit project that helps educate the public on the historical contributions the LGBT+ community has provided, as well as advocating for equality and diversity. Piippo closed the flash talks with her speech, “Concerning the Portrayal of Hobbits,” discussing the way hobbits have been depicted in various forms of media. Piippo had chosen to do her research project for her “Myth and Narrative” course on “The Hobbit.” Although it wasn’t a topic influenced by art and the LGBT+ community, Piippo tied it in with the day’s theme of diversity and inclusivity by demonstrating the similarities and differences between various artsts’ depiction of the fictional characters. Students in the “That’s So Gay: An Exploration of Homophobia and Camp in Art,” course also helped put together the show currently on display in the UNI Gallery of Art, creating labels and biographies for featured artists and making their research papers available to the public. The exhibit was a collaboration between the students, Adelman and Gallery Director Darrell Taylor, whose own art is also on display in the show. The collaboration has allowed upper-level art history classes to investigate various objects, artworks and artists in affiliation with the theme of the class, creating labels, bios and research papers, which are then included in a full semester exhibit in the gallery.

Panthers take MVC lead as Sorge makes history ELIOT CLOUGH
Sports Writer
Over the weekend and into Monday night, the UNI Panthers volleyball team competed in three different conference matches at home against the likes of the Illinois State Redbirds, Bradley Braves and the Evansville Purple Aces. The Redbirds and Braves are currently among the top four teams in the conference, along with UNI and the Valparaiso Crusaders. In the Panther’s first match of the three-game stretch, UNI took on the Redbirds at the McLeod Center on Friday night. Illinois State was previously undefeated in conference play. In this matchup, UNI won straight sets, 25-19, 2624 and 25-12. The Panthers led in every single statistical category, including kills, hit percentage, aces and assists. Karlie Taylor led the way with 18 kills, with an additional 11 kills from Kate Busswitz.
Rachel Koop added 36 assists as Kendyl Sorge had 20 digs and Piper Thomas contributed five blocks to the stat sheet for the Panthers. Next up for UNI were the Bradley Braves on Saturday night. While the Panthers came out dominant in the first set against the Braves, they relinquished an 11-point lead, dropping in the set 25-22. In the next three sets however, with their backs against the wall, the Panthers once again flipped the switch and dominated down the stretch, winning the next three sets handily, 25-11, 25-17 and 2513 to take the match three sets to one. The win also gave the Panthers sole possession of first-place in the conference, being the only undefeated team left on the season thus far. Taylor set the pace for the Panthers for the second game in a row, garnering 23 kills on the night with an additional ace serve. Rachel Koop remained in her giving ways, adding 46 assists on the night.
The woman of the night, however, was Kendyl Sorge. With her 20th dig on Saturday night, Sorge moved into the 2,000 dig club as well as second-place in UNI history with a total of 2,003 digs, passing Amie Helds on the all-time list. Sorge now only trails Ellie Blankenship, who recorded 2,656 digs in her career for the Panthers. UNI defended their firstplace position as they took on the Evansville Purple Aces on Monday night. Coming into this match, the Aces were 1-7 in conference play and 7-13 overall. As many expected, the purple and gold won in straight sets defeating the Purple Aces 25-22, 25-21 and 25-21. Again, leading in kills for the Panthers was Karlie Taylor, obtaining 20 on the night. The junior currently leads the Missouri Valley Conference in kills per set with 4.82. Koop, as in the two games prior, led UNI in assists with 39. Koop, a redshirt junior, leads the conference in assists per set
