Band reaches fundraising goal CASSIDY NOBLE Staff Writer
MIKE DUNLOP/Northern Iowan
Students in the Panther Marching Band march on the UNI Dome field during the UNI vs. Tennessee Tech home game. PMB members will depart Dec. 28 until Jan. 4 to perform in the London New Year’s day parade.
Less than three months away from their departure to London, the Panther Marching Band achieved another goal in their fundraiser agenda, collecting $7,500 from a crowdsourcing website. After their most recent fundraising goal had been met, 178 members of the band raised a grand total of approximately $9,000, not including family and friend donations. The current balance will go towards offsetting the cost for band members by helping pay for transportation, shipping the instruments and
uniforms and dry cleaning the uniforms once their weeklong trip is over to start next year. PMB will be in London Dec. 28 until Jan. 4 to perform New Year’s day parade, which will be televised to over 300 million people worldwide. The PMB was handselected by the committee of the London New Year’s Day Parade earlier this year. “They try to identify bands of a certain quality,” said Professor Danny Galyen, director of PMB. “We were recognized for our high quality and our high achievement level.” See BAND, page 2
UNI student to work Sweetest Swing in Baseball with Louis Vuitton AUTUMN SEMPÉRÉ Theatre Critic
IAN SHILLHANEK Staff Writer
A University of Northern Iowa student was chosen to attend the Academy of Business Southeast USA chapter’s international conference. Molly Banes, a senior supply chain and management information systems double major, will travel to Miami Oct. 23 to 25. Banes is the only student from the Midwest who was selected to attend. At this conference, a symposium called X-Culture takes students from around the world to work on global teams for cases from an international company. This year, the students will work with Louis Vuitton and are looking at internationalization strategies and coming
up with ideas on how they can best compete in international markets. Each student is partnered with three or four other students from around the world. These students with different backgrounds will come together to invent an original solution to a problem that Louis Vuitton puts in front of them. “Molly hasn’t had experience in dealing with global groups, and the globalization of supply chains in organizations generally over the past couple of decades has really necessitated this drive to be able to function within these global groups,” said Dr. Andy Anderson, instructor of management.

Theatre UNI opened the 2014-2015 season with Pulitzer Prize nominee Rebecca Gilman’s 2004 dark comedic drama “The Sweetest Swing in Baseball.” After a disastrous art exhibit following the steady decline of her career and rejection by her long-term boyfriend Roy, (Thaddeus Klenske, senior theatre major), Dana (Madeline Achen, senior theatre major) is admitted to a psychiatric ward after her attempted suicide. She’s surprised to find relief from her constant paranoia and anxiety in the established daily routine and budding friendship between herself, recovering alcoholic Michael (Deng Xayasouk, senior theatre major) and celebrity stalker Gary (David Wasserman, senior individual
studies major). When the ten days that her insurance will cover in the ward are up, Dana concocts a plan to convince her psychiatrist, Dr. Gilbert (Erika Kuhn,
sophomore theatre major) that she has a more serious mental disorder than suicidal depression. See THEATER, page 2
