UNI’s Art Department faculty had the chance to show off their skills on Monday night at the Kamerick Art Building during the biennial Art Faculty Exhibition. The exhibit featured art of all different kinds of media, such as graphic design, ceramics, painting, photography and performance art. The event was open to all students and the public. “This is something we do every two years,” said Darrel Taylor, the director of the Gallery of Art. “The purpose is to let the students [...] know what the art faculty is doing and see their brand new work.” According to Taylor, the event is not sponsored, but rather a collaboration of the UNI Art Department and the
gallery. Taylor also said that each art faculty member has an opportunity to bring new work out and display it at the gallery. A few of the artists were at the exhibition to talk about their work, as well as see what other faculty members had on display. Aypryl Pippert, an art instructor at UNI, put on a performance art display that involved sucking on a cinnamon candy heart and then spitting into a large cup. Pippert also had super-sized suckers of different flavors set up nearby that were interactive for students and the public. Tim Dooley, Jeffrey Byrd, and Kenneth Hall were also at the event with their works on display. Byrd contributed performance art that was recorded and put onto television screens in the exhibit.

UNI Museum’s mastodon tusk to be restored ANNA FLANDERS Staff Writer
For nearly 100 years, the UNI Museum has possessed a mastodon tusk that is estimated to be between 50,000 and 150,000 years old. It’s been in storage for the last 50 years, but thanks to a grant of more than $300,000 by the Roy J. Carver Charitable Trust, it can now be restored and stabilized. Awarded in 2016, the grant was written for three years, and the museum is currently a third of the way through restoration the process. According to Nathan Arndt, the assistant director and chief curator for the UNI Museum, the tusk was found in 1933 in Hampton, Iowa in a gravel pit. “At that time, the museum was still active,” Arndt said.
“We’ve been around for over a hundred years, and Dr. Cable, who was the head of the museum at the time, thought it would be a nice addition to the museum here.” The tusk was displayed until the ‘60s. But the standards for the time didn’t keep the tusk safe, according to Arndt. While in open display, the tusk suffered water damage from a leaking roof. Now with the grant, the museum is finally getting the opportunity to fix it. Laura Kubick is the conservator, and Ellie Akers, a UNI senior majoring in anthropology, is her assistant. For Akers, the experience has confirmed her passion for conservation. “I’ve tested samples; I’ve done all the research for it,” Akers said. “I’ve been doing a lot of back and forth with the conservator, gathering research for
the field that I actually wanna go into after I graduate.” Throughout this process, one of the museum’s major partners has been the chemistry department, especially Assistant Professor Josh Sebree and his Instrumental Analysis class. “This year’s class is involved in kind of the phase one: understanding the current state of the tusk and then [. . .] the initial cleanup of it,” Sebree said. “Next year’s class is going to start taking the first data of phase two, which is the final conservation efforts. So, from there, next year’s class and the year after will [. . .] continue monitoring the tusk.” Dr. Sebree’s class is concerned with the chemical safety issues that the tusk presents. The presence of lead on the tusk is one major concern.

Some UNI students have acquired the opportunity to examine the mastodon tusk first-hand, thanks to a recently received grant. The tusk has been in possession of the UNI Museum for almost 100 years.
According to Sebree, there may also be arsenic in some of the lacquers. Many of the dangers are still unknown. “[I]n the first six weeks of the course, [students have to] come up with a research
idea of how they’re going to answer some of the questions that were brought up in the original Carver proposal that was awarded to understand this tusk better,” Sebree said. See MASTODON, page 2

Heart of Darkness: behind the screams JACOB MADDEN News Editor
The Heart of Darkness is the number one haunted house in the state of Iowa, according to fearfinder.com. With 13 differently themed areas, the attraction winds through farm country outside of Waterloo, bringing a Halloween tradition to life every year. “This is our 14th year,” said Kevin Schults, the “dark mastermind” behind Heart of Darkness. “Every year we have to provide a bigger, better, badder show. You’ve got to be competitive.” According to Schults, the Heart of Dankness is his passion. Schults is a plumber and carpenter by trade, but looks forward to October every year. This year, the Heart of Darkness features three new areas: spiritual realm, coven and boggy creek swamp. “Boggy creek is this huge thing,” Schults said. “Coven is witch, witch, witch, witch, and no one does witches anymore. I wanted to bring back some classic Halloween. Spiritual realms is a mausoleum area, with lots of projectors and special effects, that bring non-reality to reality.”
According to Schults, the Heart of Darkness is nearly a year-round operation. It is torn down in November, the crew takes December off and then begins planning in January. “As soon as snow breaks and ices breaks, we are out here,” Schults said. “We were here at the beginning of April this year.” Schults said that coming up on October, the crew was working 10 to 14 hours a day on Saturdays and Sundays. “Literally these guys come out and dedicate 20 to 30 hours a week out here,” said Josh Sears, a crew member who works on the Heart of Darkness. “I had a dream, way back when I was a kid, and I wanted to do something big,” Schults said. “I love Halloween and haunted houses, and I am very
blessed, honestly, by God, to have such fantastic people come on to be a part of this.” This weekend is UNI weekend, according to Schults, and students can get $2 off by showing their UNI ID at the ticket booth. “This place would not happen without all the other people,” Schults said. “I’m just one guy.”

Gunshot heard on campus
MASTODON
continued from page 1
Three days ago, the Office of University Relations issued a campus-wide email reporting an incident involving a gunshot from this past Sunday. According to the email, UNI Police were notified of someone hearing a gunshot in the early morning hours of Sunday, Oct. 8. The gunshot was reportedly heard on the east side of campus. The email went on to say
that within minutes of the report, UNI Police detained three suspects. No one was injured, and no property was damaged, according to the email. In addition, there is no continuing threat. As of press time, the investigation was ongoing. The Northern Iowan reached out to UNI Police for additional comment but were told that UNI Police was unable to comment further on the incident at this time.
After the students’ proposals are reviewed by their peers and externally reviewed outside of their group by a panel of experts, students get their own small pieces of tusk for analysis. One of the external reviewers for the students’ proposals is Anne Marie Gruber, who is the instruction and liaison librarian and assitant professor at the library. It is her job to help the students research effectively. “One of the hard things for the students, I think, in the research has been that there aren’t many mastodon tusks out there,” Gruber said. “So that means that there aren’t very many researchers

That’s been challenging, because when you’re doing research that nobody’s done and you’re breaking ground like that, you still need to rely on sources that already exist. So, we’ve been using things from research about dentistry, research about art conservation, research about other species like elephants and wooly mammoths.” The students’ research is available through the online repository ScholarWorks, so the rest of the world can access this work.

VOLUME 114, ISSUE 14
Movie mogul commits sexual assault Hollywood and the enter tainment industry has recently sprung into an uproar due to the recent reveal that Harvey Weinstein, for a number of years, has used his power to sexually assault multiple women. If you don’t know who Harvey Weinstein is, there’s a really high chance that you’ve seen one of his movies. Harvey Weinstein was the co-founder of The Weinstein Company, which is one of the big Hollywood studios that has produced some of the most beloved films out there. Weinstein has received producer credits on many of Quentin Tarantino’s films and so much more. He’s even won an Oscar for “Shakespeare in Love” back
in 1999, and his films have received countless other nominations. Frankly, it is truly sickening to hear about all of his sexual assault allegations. Whenever I open up my Twitter feed, all I see is news about Weinstein and the horrible things he’s done to women. But along with that, I also see a lot of people who have spoken up against and have outright condemned Weinstein, including: James Gunn (writer-director of “Guardians of the Galaxy”), Hilary Clinton, George Clooney, the Obamas, Jennifer Lawrence, Gwyneth Paltrow, Brie Larson and Mark Ruffalo. Because of it, Terry Crews also recently came out and said that he himself has been sexually assaulted by a male in the industry at a Hollywood function. See, Weinstein used his power and platform to perform really terrible and evil acts against innocent women. It’s good to see that some people, who have their
voice heard by millions, use it to condemn such ferocious acts. Since then, the Weinstein board has been dissolved, and the company is thinking about changing its name. However, I don’t think that’s enough. Here’s the thing: sexual assault happens everywhere, every single day. It’s not only in Hollywood or with famous people. We need to remember that. It breaks my heart to say it, but it also happens locally. There have been incidents of it here on our campus. We’ve all received those emails about a sexual assault that recently happened. The truth is that there are so many instances of it that go unheard. We’ve all heard it before, but let me say it again. Consent is everything; respect is everything. It cannot be said enough. And although we may not have millions of followers on a social media platform, we do have a voice. We can
speak up for those who have enough as it is. With hurbeen sexually assaulted ricanes and fires that take or are hurting in different away entire neighborhoods ways. and people’s homes, we We can bring awareness don’t need to be hurting and use our voices for those each other. who aren’t heard or are too We’re all human beings. afraid to speak up.

Don’t wait until then to do something about it. We need to use our power to empower others and not to take advantage of them. Whatever power we have, it must be used for good.

According to Business Insider, Disney announced about two months ago that they were going to end their deal with Netflix and create a Disney streaming service for their content in 2019. This is a questionable move at best and one that could potentially hurt Disney. TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE Opinion columnist Sam King discusses Disney’s Now I know recently announced streaming service, set for launch I may sound in 2019. crazy for say-
ing this new Disney streaming service could be a bad move, but there’s not a lot of information on what would be available on this streaming service. If it’s similar content to what Disney was providing for Netflix, then they could be in trouble, the biggest reason being price. I can only speak for myself when I say this, although I’m sure there are many who agree, but paying another 10 or so dollars a month to watch Marvel movies and the latest animated kid’s movie isn’t something I want to do. I already see the movies I want to see in theaters and buy the DVD if I really love it. Why would I pay another 10 or 11 dollars to watch it whenever I want when I already pay that amount for Netflix? For the average college student, this presents a problem. Most college students aren’t rolling in cash. Ten extra dollars a month can make a difference when saving up for a new computer, buying books or paying tuition. Some of these students are already paying for other streaming services besides Netflix, so another subscription would simply add to the pile. I am open minded about this new venture Disney is dabbling in. The company isn’t dumb by any means and
will likely roll out a streaming service that attracts its fans. Families may pay for a subscription so the kids can watch Disney kid’s shows and movies. The comic book fan will pay to see the latest Marvel movie and the avid Star Wars fan will faithfully fund the service as long as they get to see the latest Star Wars movie. While this may seem like a successful service already, it’s important to understand that there are many, many people who are going to need more from Disney to purchase a subscription. For example, a casual Marvel fan would likely rather put their money towards another interest of theirs, as the rest of the service wouldn’t cater to their tastes. There are plenty of factors that can make a big difference in whether the service fails or succeeds, however. The first is the size of Disney’s fan base. I think they may potentially have enough hardcore fans to sustain the platform alone, yet I doubt Disney would be happy with just “sustaining themselves.” They would have to reach further into their vaults to pull in the average consumer or the casual fan. One way that I think Disney could do this would be to look at their ESPN property.
Disney owns ESPN, and it’s no secret that ESPN is a haven of sports content. Sports fans could be drawn to Disney’s streaming service if they included content from their network channel. Now, this could also backfire as the streaming service could potentially cannibalize the TV channel; however, with the recent losses ESPN, and TV in general, have seen (The Economist), this could be the perfect opportunity to cut the cord on cable and transition into an ESPN based firmly on online streaming. One last way Disney could attract a wider audience is to simply reduce the price. Another 10 dollars a month is something I personally would not be willing to pay. If the service was lower, I may be willing to buy it, as would some more casual Disney fans. One analyst at FierceCable predicts that the price could be around five dollars. I would say that is a smart number at which to price a relatively niche streaming service. Netflix and Hulu both have impressive catalogues that Disney would struggle to match. With this lower price, its appeal could change for the better. The average college student may just take a chance on what could be the future of Disney.

UNI alum captures the “Blood Road” ALLISON MAZZARELLA Staff Writer
One thousand two hundred miles of blood, sweat and tears. Professional athlete Rebecca Rusch experienced all of this throughout her journey along the Ho Chi Minh trail, as portrayed in the documentary film, “Blood Road,” by Red Bull Media House. The film, which was screened in Sabin Hall on Monday, Oct. 9, was directed by UNI alumnus Nick Schrunk. Schrunk, currently the creative director at Red Bull Media House, graduated from UNI in 2008 with his bachelor’s in graphic design. Red Bull Media House is a production company that specializes in outdoor adventure sports. The company produces films that focus on athletes pushing their limits. Rusch reached out personally to Red Bull Media House and requested that they document her journey. “This one was really special to us,” Schrunk said. “It was Rebecca’s story. It was based in sport, but it’s really not a sport film.” Schrunk returned to UNI for the day of the showing, providing a brief introduction to the film, as well as a question and answer discussion afterwards. He explained that what started out as a physical journey was actually an emotional story. Stephen Rusch, Rebecca’s father, was a pilot in the
Vietnam war whose plane was shot down, crashing along the Ho Chi Minh trail. He went missing in action when Rusch was just three years old. Years later, her father’s death was confirmed after the discovery of some of his remains. She set out to bike the trail in search for answers surrounding her father’s death. “When it [filming] started, there was no actual answers,” Schrunk said. “Once you met Rebecca, you saw how important this was to her, and how her relationship with her father, or the lack of that relationship, was such a driving force in making her such an exceptional athlete who really pushed herself,” Schrunk continued. Apart from her support team and the Red Bull Media House film crew, Rusch was joined in the journey by her guide, Huyen Nguyen, a professional Vietnamese athlete. Throughout the first half of the journey, Rusch was constantly pushing herself forward, taking as few breaks as possible. However, towards the end of the film, at the finding of her father’s burial site, Rusch stopped moving. “The thing you can’t fake is someone’s true emotion,” Schrunk said. “Her [Rusch’s] whole life had added up to this.” The burial site was discovered when Rusch crossed paths with a man who, upon finding the crash site, bur-

ied the pilot. Marking the burial site was a tree the man had planted. One dynamic blend of history and present day captured in this documentary was the relationship between Rusch and her guide. Rusch’s guide, Nguyen, also had family who fought in the Vietnam war. Although their families indirectly fought each other, they were paired together to work toward a common goal. Josh Berendes, a 2017 UNI digital media and interactive digital studies graduate, was the driving force behind the film coming to UNI. Reaching out to Red Bull Media

House via email, Berendes was excited to get a quick response from them. When Red Bull Media House agreed to show the film at UNI, Berendes directed the process into Chris Martin’s hands. Martin is the interim head and professor of electronic media in the Communication Department at UNI. Despite the last minute scheduling, Red Bull Media House agreed. “They were pretty open, because they were putting together screenings across the country,” Martin said. “For something we scheduled with not a lot of lead time, I think it was a good
turnout. We kind of put this together pretty quickly.” There were about 60-70 people in attendance. “Here’s this guy, Nick Schrunk, who walked the same halls as all of us, and now he’s the creative director for Red Bull Media House, which is one of the biggest production companies in the country,” Berendes said. “I really thought it would be cool to bring him back to UNI to show people they can do whatever they want, as long as they work hard and are passionate about what they do. I really wanted that connection for UNI students.”

“You could say that my works have really been influenced by the past year,” Byrd said. “Oddly enough, I think they’ve turned out to be more humorous than I would have thought.” Byrd said that his works have been displayed outside of UNI at locations such as Minneapolis, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, Tokyo and Beijing. Hall talked briefly about the paintings he hadon display. According to Hall, his paintings were a last minute rush. However, he said that the paintings were done in layers, or ‘phases’. “A couple of these pieces have been worked on in an early phase. Sometimes, I plunge back into the painting to give it a different look and new life,” Hall said. “The

pieces are always about a fragment in space. There’s always at least two different competing spaces that happen within the same picture.” Like Byrd, Hall has also had his art displayed across the world, including in Germany and New York City. Hall said that he gives visiting artist talks at numerous universities across the United States. One student who attended the Faculty Art Exhibition was Kailie Hesner, a freshman majoring in art at UNI. Hesner heard about the event from Hall who is her drawing professor. “Alex Dooley’s piece, the colorful paint on the glass, inspired me. I read about how Dooley works with people in the community who have mental health issues,” Hesner said. “That has been something that hits close to home for me.

New tennis courts open near Nielsen Fieldhouse JOEL WAUTERS
Sports Writer
This past Monday, representatives from UNI, the Cedar Falls Community School District and the Cedar Falls Recreation Services were all on hand at the dedication of the brand new on-campus tennis complex inside Nielsen Fieldhouse. Built on part of the former site of the Price Lab School on 19th and Campus Street, the tennis complex cost $1.5 million, supported in part by a $500,000 grant from the Black Hawk County Gaming Association. “This facility will serve
the UNI physical education classes, men’s and women’s tennis clubs, the women’s varsity team, Cedar Falls junior varsity and varsity teams, the city summer youth tennis program, Cedar Falls pickle ball club and community wide drop and play,” said UNI Recreation Services Director Chris Denison. While the new courts’ final touches are being added, many are excited to see what this new facility will bring to campus. “I’m happy for all of us, but I’m especially happy for all of our students who will have the chance to use this facility, as well as our student
athletes,” said UNI Athletic Director David Harris. “They have the opportunity to be able to compete on a championship caliber court for competition and practice. “Also, with it being here on campus, it gives students the opportunity to support our team, [which] will be critical. It also gives us the ability to be able to host Missouri Valley Conference team tennis championships, and it fulfills our responsibility to our students to give them a first-class facility.” While the weather may be getting a bit colder, students still have time before the snow falls to play on these new courts.

U.S. men’s soccer team fails to qualify for World Cup JOSHUA DAUSENER Copy Editor
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
Panama goalkeeper Jaime Penedo (1) stops a goal by USA’s Bobby Wood (9) during the World Cup qualifier game on Oct. 6, 2017.
For the first time since 1986, the United States men’s national team (USMNT) has failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup. The 2018 World Cup, hosted by Russia, will not feature the USMNT after a devastating 1-2 defeat to Trinidad and Tobago in the qualifying rounds. Trinidad and Tobago is a small island nation north of Venezuela. Trinidad and Tobago had already been eliminated from 2018 World Cup contention and had lost eight of their previous nine games. The lack of an American presence on soccer’s largest stage will likely inhibit
the growth of a sport that already lags behind football, basketball, baseball and hockey in the United States. Teams that have qualified for the 2018 World Cup are: Belgium, England, France, Germany, Iceland, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Spain, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay, Egypt, Nigeria, Iran, Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia. Qualification rounds are still underway. The qualifying rounds for the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup begin in 2018. The United States women’s national team are the reigning world champions, having defeated Japan 5-2 in the final of the 2014 Women’s World Cup.

UNI women’s soccer falls to Missouri State JERRIUS CAMPBELL Sports Writer
The UNI women’s soccer team took a hard loss in their Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) match-up against Missouri State, losing 1-0. Going into the game, the women’s soccer team was on a three-game winning streak, all of which came on their home turf. The Panthers took a total of 19 shots, with Brynell Yount and Morgan Tell each taking
three. Hannah McDevitt led the team with five shots on Saturday in Springfield. Jami Reichenberger allowed only one goal on Saturday. Reichenberger is ranked fourth goalkeeper in the MVC still holding onto her single season record of eight shutouts this season. The Panthers will look to get back in the groove against the Drake Bulldogs and Valparaiso in their next two games on the road.
