Yak Attack AMBER ROUSE

Executive Editor

You couldn’t imagine there would be any room left to sit down for a little yik-yakking with all of the tweeting, Facebooking, snapping and tumbling students can engage in to fulfill their social media needs.

But students at the University of Northern Iowa have learned there is a new social media application to post statuses, thoughts and feelings anonymously. This app is call Yik-Yak. Yik-Yak allows users to post “yaks” anonymously within a 1.5-mile radius.

UNI’s student organization, I, Too, am UNI, stumbled upon Yik-Yak accounts which targeted minorites at UNI’s campus.

On Tuesday, Oct. 14 administrators of the I,Too, am UNI Facebook page decided to post screenshots of the racist, sexist and homophobic yaks about UNI to show students and the UNI community what was going on.

“As a minority on campus I feel unsafe,” said Vanessa Espinoza, senior spanish teaching major.

“How many of them [students] feel like this?”

Espinoza is also an administrator for the I, Too, am UNI Facebook page.

To respond to the yaks posted, acting President Mike Licari sent out a campus-wide email urging users to stop posting hateful yaks and encourage anyone who knows something about those who yakked negatively to speak up.

Horrors Spooktacular haunts sure to bring scare-dy cats to Cedar Valley MEGAN GREGORSOK Staff Writer

There is nothing but darkness and three figures all in white seem to emerge from the shadows. They do not move, but stand looming in eerie silence. A loud wail echoes through the room. The scent of sawdust and fresh paint hangs in the air. The walls are rough and there seems to be no way out.

Then a voice rings out from the other side of the room along with a good-natured laugh. It’s Brian Harris, an operator at Panic Park, who generously agreed to give a tour of both that haunt and Heart of Darkness in their off hours.

Harris’ eyes crinkle with wellintentioned mischief as he says that the room is easier t o navigate once your e y e s h a v e

adjusted to the darkness. The rest of the Heart of Darkness had been completely lit, and the sudden gloom is disorienting. He walks over to a door in the other corner and beams of soft, hazy light flood into the space as he opens it.

Now clearly illuminated, the room appears as it really is. The three ghostly figures all in white, once startling, are only bulbous forms draped in white sheets. The raucous screaming and creaking from a loudspeaker have lost their intimidating tones in the light of day.

It shows how frightening a few well-placed shadows can be. The people who build Panic Park and the Heart of Darkness pride themselves on the amount of detail that comes from experience in the field and a simple passion for scaring.

There is friendly competition between haunted houses to see who can scare better. This is what drives the amount of detail. Both Panic Park and Heart of Darkness have tremendous amounts of gruesome elements, from blood-splattered handprints on walls to iconic characters that greet you on your way inside.

The renaissance atmosphere came to life on the grounds of Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (GBPAC) Saturday for the opening of the musical production “Camelot.”

“With the production of Camelot coming to Gallagher Bluedorn, we wanted to think of as many ways to bring the story to life,” Blake Argotsinger, associate marketing manager at the GBPAC said. “From creating an actual sword in the stone to this Renaissance Faire, we’ve tried to create a unique experience surrounding the show. By doing this, we’ve created an opportunity for our patrons to live out the days of the Renaissance and then see it come to life on stage.”

Dotting the front lawn of the GBPAC were stations that included sword fighting, blacksmithing, face painting and a performance area for puppet shows.

I yik love to your hateful yaks OCTOBER 20, 2014

RENAE BEARD

renaeb @uni.edu

In the span of a few hours, in the heart of the Midwest, a hate crime manifested itself. Sprinkled across the city of Cedar Falls, monitors glowed and cell phone screens lit up. A seemingly incurable disease spread like wildfire. Someone’s heart broke.

The crime occurred via Yik Yak, a new social media app. In a recent interview with PCWorld, co-founder and CEO Tyler Droll described Yik Yak as an essentially “local, anonymous Twitter… the 100 most recent posts within a 1.5 mile radius.”

He and fellow co-founder and COO Brooks Buffington hope it will eventually function as a sort of world news source.

In the meantime, however, good intentions aren’t protecting anyone from the slurs featured on the app’s feed.

While the founders boast the ability of users to “down-vote” posts and the corporations’ utilization of moderators and filters with no username or identifier, real consequence is near impossible to enforce.

Upwards of 40 derogatory, racist, homophobic and harassing posts were

yakked in the immediate circle of the University of Northern Iowa campus.

Ironically, October is National Bullying Prevention Month. As aspiring intellectuals, it isn’t right to think a college community would need this aide-mémoire.

Unfortunately, the voice of a few carried enough hatred to unravel all existent acculturation.

It causes me to doubt the advancement of one of the most progressive generations to date.

I am sickened to my core and disheartened in almost every way. It causes me to doubt the advancement of one of the most progressive generations to date.

‘Inappropriate’ does not come close to an accurate portrayal of the perpetrators’ words.

But hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that and every punch thrown is a handshake wasted.

the misfortune of parodying tolerance. This may have been a quietly executed disposition, but I hope the community response will not persist such soundlessness.

I will not stay silent on this matter. I write to defend every person so unjustly targeted by this heinous offense.

Please be reassured you are not confined to the definitions they attempted to force on you. You are so much more than the false stereotypes they endeavored to perpetuate.

Someone had the audacity to begin a dialogue, hidden behind the badge of privilege and the shield of anonymity. And while I cannot retract their words, while I cannot erase them from memory, I hope, at the very least, I can lessen their impact and counter their feeble messages. You are loved.

There are no excuses for it. Nothing to justify the ignorance and hatred. At minimum, it was cowardly and uncalled for. Let me offer you words of hope and prosperity. This is for all the silent voices. For the fingers poised numbly over their phone screens, staring at words that should never have been created from darkness.

Let me extend to you what should be a collective belief. Something has to be said and I’m saying it: there

is a place for you. There is opportunity to rise above this animosity.

I am a firm believer that good can come from bad and a positive outpouring can be the perfect catalyst for continued social change.

There will come a day when equality is the standard, when acceptance is

based more on the integrity of your character, rather than upon something as vain as the color of your skin, or as petty as the orientation of your sexuality.

Which is why I wish to convey to everyone, in every language possible, in every dialect conceivable: you are not alone.

UNI needs to think before you yak your yik TAIJA TUCKER

tucketaa@uni.edu

A new app called Yik Yak is rising in popularity on some college campuses, including UNI. This app allows users to post “yaks” stating what people are doing or where they are going, but some are not used that way.

The app is gaining notoriety because of the hurtful discriminating, homophobic and racist comments posted. Yaks can be read in a 1.5 mile radius of where it was posted. But a number of recent comments have been bullying and harassing.

Action has been taken against a student at Drake University, who made a

threat to which he said “Columbine was nothing, I have access to a bunch of guns and am going to shoot up Drake,” according to a police report. The student was arrested and taken into custody.

Creating this app has allowed people to hide behind their phones and become “anonymous” to post unnecessary information and micro-aggressions to gain more likes.

I feel we have enough social media outlets in this world and Yik Yak is whack with no need to be here.

Using this app should be for fun but society has transformed it into making threats with negative actions that result in consequences.

Bullying is at a whole new level of saying words to hurt or make other people feel ashamed of who

It is wrong and can make our student body less of a family with no friendly faces. More positive comments and less negative ones can lead to a better understand of what Yik Yak is. they are. People on Yik Yak become cowards by hiding who they are and not taking responsibility in their actions.

Saying things like: If you ain’t white, you ain’t right,” is idiotic racist backlash that leads to no consequences, only “fame” by the amount of likes.

It is wrong and can make our student body less of a family with no friendly faces. More positive comments and less negative ones can lead to a better understanding of what Yik Yak is.

Social media changes only through society and transforms what we see as unnecessary by the news into a helpful tool that the students can use to communicate their daily battles and stressors in their life.

UNI needs to take a stand in creating a better environment without this app.

Next time you post something the world can see, think of how people would react or what the consequences would be.

Even though you are “anonymous,” you aren’t.

There are many ways for people to find out what you did or said on social media sites.

Yik Yak is not worth going to jail for or getting suspended for what you say.

College is a place where mistakes are made and lessons learned, but posting to get a ‘like’ is not worth it.

Learn to find other activities or apps that could lead to better things and focus on the future of dreams that can come true through hard work and dedication.

Remember that UNI is a friendly campus, full of students that want an education and having fun in a bully-free environment.

Make an experience that turns triumphs of negative experiences into a lasting lesson for society.

Be proud, humble and a positive UNI.

Film school gives students voices MEGAN GREGORSOK Staff Writer

Ghetto Film School may turn some heads with its unusual name, and that’s exactly the point. The nonprofit high school, located in the South Bronx, makes strides to reclaim the buzz-word from other negative associations.

Though the name may turn some off at first, its intentions are just the opposite.

There is a story in the South Bronx not being told and Joe Hall, founder of GFS, believes the best way to tell that story is to give the youth in the area a voice.

“I wanted to help talented, creative people enter a world I understood wanted them,” Hall said.

Hall was on the University of Northern Iowa campus Thursday to talk about his film school.

Hall, a former film student himself, knows film is a medium that requires effort and, most importantly, interaction of students. They must write their own scripts, cast their

own productions and learn camerawork to create meaning from images.

In addition to normal coursework, film helps push students to think creatively and actively. Every year, GFS hosts their own film-viewing where students may present their projects to a wider audience.

With this emphasis on film, Samantha Kaster, senior communication/electronic media major, was in attendance after Hall spoke to her Capstone class. She saw it as a, “good way to learn about the industry.”

Hall refers to “The Method” for the success of his school.

There are four principles GFS follows: trust, authenticity, high expectations and meritocracy.

Trust is displayed on the first day of class when each student receives his or her own camera to take home.

Some students initially believe this to be a trick, but the idea behind authenticity is that there are no tricks, Hall said.

Everyone must be honest

with each other, even if that means hurt feelings.

Students are taught that expectations for their projects are extremely high. If a project isn’t good enough, it won’t be shown to a wider audience.

Meritocracy, or meritbased leadership, recognizes the hard work of the students.

Their hard work is rewarded in a big way. The more talented or hard-working students may be selected by a panel of judges for $1000 scholarships.

As a non-profit organization, GFS must rely on others to make donations for these and other opportunities such as trips to foreign countries.

Large corporations are, in fact, some of GFS’s largest contributors.

The big corporations know that they’re making an investment in the future of television and film. Corporations rely on commercials, and commercials are a type of film, Derrick Cameron, artistic director at Ghetto Film School said.

Unlike other non-profits in the area, Ghetto Film School

Hip-hop meshes with comedy NICK CAROLAN new listeners with a con-

Music Reviewer

Hip-hop and comedy; if you thought these two different art forms could never coincide then you haven’t listened to Open Mike Eagle’s newest album, “Dark Comedy.”

The former specialeducation teacher turned rapper is no stranger to the hip-hop scene having released three previous solo albums. The Chicagobred rapper (now residing in Los Angeles) delivers an album filled with 90’s pop culture references and comedy that leaves the listener laughing, nostalgic and curious about who Open Mike Eagle is as a person.

The album opens up with “Dark Comedy Morning Show,” the albums table of contents touches briefly on many of the themes and ideas that the rest of the album covers.

Mike welcomes old and

fession, “For those who haven’t heard of me/I’m bad at sarcasm so I work in absurdity.”

Mike also satirizes American media, “There’s mad shootings on the news/Unless it’s in the Chi, cause blacks and Mexicans can die,” and also finds time to give a shout out to Slug from the hip-hop group Atmosphere. It’s a great opener that forces even the most incompetent listener to pay attention to the journey the album takes you on.

The lead single on the track, “Qualifiers,” is Mike’s commentary on the arrogance and emptiness that the current state of rap is in.

Of course, Mike does this by making fun of himself, saying “I make jazz jokes so I’m flat broke,” admitting that his rap style will never make him rich.

However, he finds solace in knowing his “clothes are

clean and his kids fed.”

Adding to the album’s comedic side, well-known comedian Hannibal Buress, jumps on the track “Doug Stamper (Advice Raps),” a shout out to the character on the hit Netflix series “House of Cards.”

The album proceeds to take a turn to the dark side with “Idaho,” which gives a interesting, yet eye-opening, image of life on a road bus late at night.

However, the album maintains its humor as it rolls into “Informations” featuring Kool A.D., where Mike raps about technology literally taking over his life.

Dark Comedy, culminating in 13 tracks and a swift 45 minutes, sends us on a personal journey of Mike’s thoughts, observations and witty insights which makes it a great listen and is up there for 2014’s hip-hop album of the year. *Carolan Rating of 8 out of 10 paws*

does not fear corporate funding, nor does it have a greater social justice angle. During its founding, the idea was to create a place that allowed youths to tell their own story, not a story centered around a foundation’s ideal, such as preventing violence or drug-use.

The creation process, Hall said, relied heavily on the influence of those who had experienced the effects

of other non-profit organizations. When asked what was most important for GFS to succeed, their response surprised him.

“I was struck by how they almost immediately started talking about what they didn’t want… What they were seeking was, you know if it’s supposed to be a film school, make it a film school,” Hall said.

HORRORS

They want to disorient you, leave you breathless and certainly leave you wanting more.

It’s down to a science with them, mastering each kind of thrill from hiding in plain sight and springing to life, to chasing guests through the house’s winding, ever changing, dim corridors.

The creator and owner of Heart of Darkness, Kevin Schults, stresses the importance of redesigning the houses each year, “We always need to rebuild and retool for the shock factor.”

In Heart of Darkness, there are 10 different themed areas, and each year, one or two of them is leveled to the ground, given a new theme and rebuilt. This year the new area features the home of a ghostly girl.

The Fear Engineers, who work on creating this haunted experience, work tirelessly to perfect it.

It’s been 14 years since Heart of Darkness came into being, and 13 years for Panic Park.

Mike Hendrickson, Park Ranger for the Black Hawk

County Conservation Board oversees Panic Park, said that the house has been worked on at least since April, but planning starts early in winter, making Halloween haunting a year-long process.

“We are providing a fun and safe activity every single weekend in October,” Hendrickson said.

Heart of Darkness has brought back their iconic characters, Crispy, Johnny the Crow, Chopper and Papa Voodoo, who are free to roam as far as the parking lot in order to spook the guests as they arrive.

At Panic Park, a gypsy fortune-teller spells doom for all who enter. Both are open every weekend through Nov. 1.

People of all ages stream through the gates every year, looking for a good scare. The mind is the greatest weapon: the fear of the unknown, the fear of the darkness or what could be lurking in the darkness.

The scare is purely cerebral, because they won’t grab or touch guests if guests don’t touch them.

“We don’t need to touch you to scare you,” Harris said.

REN FAIRE

continued from page 1

For Will Lubaroff, sophomore vocal music education major, the comedy sword fighting performance was what he looked forward to the most.

“I had to be at Gallagher Bluedorn anyway for a rehearsal and I saw it on the website and I figured I’d stop by.

I haven’t been to a renaissance faire since I was a kid,” Lubaroff said.

With the faire landing on Family Weekend, it gave the staff at GBPAC something fun to plan for patrons and visiting families.

“Luckily, some staff members at the Gallagher Bluedorn are well-versed in ren faires and could direct us to those acts,” Argotsinger said, “Many of the performers you’ll see at our faire will have also performed at the Des Moines Renaissance Faire and even up to the Minneapolis Renaissance Faire.”

Amanda Banks was a volunteer for the faire and has been performing with renaissance faires for seven years.

“I like smaller faires because just you have more interaction with everybody and you can kind of be able to see everything right away whereas if you’re at a bigger faire a lot of times you don’t get to see as much,” Banks said, “You’re kind of stuck not going anywhere.”

For Banks, having the opportunity to spread the word of renaissance faires in different places was a great idea.

“To us it’s second nature, we’ve done it forever but there’s a lot of people out there that don’t really know what a renaissance faire is or what exactly goes on so then we can kind of go out and people can see exactly what we do,” Banks said.

Skylar Davis, freshman English major, enjoyed the sword fighting station that the UNI Swordfighting Club had set up.

“It’s been really fun.

It’s fun to do and it gets out your stress too,” Davis said.

As far as having a renaissance faire again, Davis, Banks and Lubaroff agree that it would be fun to have it return.

“I think there are a lot of students who would like to go to something like this but don’t have the means of transportation,” Lubaroff said.

The faire ran from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. before the first showing of the musical, “Camelot.”

Panther comeback falls short BRENNAN WHISLER

Sports Writer

The Panthers suffered their first loss in the UNIDome this season at the hands of the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State, 31-28.

While the Panthers defense, led once more by sophomore Brett McMakin with 14 tackles, kept the game close the offense was another story, struggling to barely reach the 300 yard mark.

SDSU took the opening drive 84 yards in 17 plays for a touchdown to give them an early 7-0 lead.

The Jackrabbits converted five third downs, only recording two more third down conversions the remainder of the game.

After a few failed drives to start the second quarter, Chad Owens returned a punt 27 yards to the 50-yard line. David Johnson waltzed into the endzone, nearly untouched for a 50-yard touchdown run the next play.

Jared Farley recorded his first career interception with 2:16 left in the half, setting up a Sawyer Kollmorgen two-yard touchdown pass to Barkley Hill.

The Panthers lone touchdown pass of the game gave them a 14-7 lead.

SDSU’s next drive came to

end this time byway of a Jake Farley interception which effectively ended the half.

Kollmorgen threw two interceptions in the third quarter, both of which resulted in touchdowns.

“I’ll have to look over the game film to see what went wrong,” said UNI Head Coach Mark Farley on his

team’s current quarterback battle.

The Panthers were unable to answer that quarter as Michael Schmadeke had his late quarter field goal blocked

by Cole Langer. SDSU took a 21-14 lead heading into the last quarter.

SDSU marched down the field and scored on a Zach

Zenner rush to go up 28-14 and left 8:58 on the clock in the final quarter.

Brion Carnes got the nod to go in the following possession and led a four minute drive that ended with a Johnson rushing touchdown from two yards out.

With under five minutes left punter Logan Bieghler

hit a blooper of an onside kick which was recovered by Deiondre’ Hall to give the Panthers the ball back with 3:29 remaining.

SDSU however was able to force a turnover on downs.

Three plays later, the Panthers tipped a pass two times before it landed in Ray Mitchell’s hands and was returned for a 58-yard touchdown to tie the game at 28-28.

“I just happened to be in the right place,” Mitchell said. “It was pretty crowded in there and I got the ball and ran with it.”

Despite picking off SDSU quarterback Zach Lujan three times, the Panthers allowed the Jackrabbits to rack up 317 yards of total offense.

“Those interceptions are irrelevant, [because] we didn’t win,” Farley said.

Down by three, Carnes and the UNI offense were set up to drive down the field with 1:47 left to tie the game or take the lead.

Melvin Taveras picked off Carnes with 50 seconds left at the SDSU three-yard line before the offense ran the clock out on the Panthers.

UNI travels to Western Illinois on Saturday as they look for their second conference win. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

RILEY UBBEN Sports Editor

The University of Northern Iowa volleyball team came into the week-

end with a perfect Missouri Valley Conference record before falling in both their road matches against Illinois State and Indiana State.

The Panthers squared

off with fellow first place Illinois State on Friday night, falling 3-1 in four sets. UNI fell down early in the first set against the Redbirds, failing to recover

in the set and dropping it 25-20.

UNI rebounded in a backand-forth second set against ISU. With the set knotted at 12, the Panthers rattled off five straight points to take the lead, capped off by a Lindsey Schultz kill. Schultz finished the match with 12 kills as the Panthers took the set 25-20 and evened the match at 1-1.

The lead changed hands four times early in the third set before ISU took a 10-9 lead and never looked back, winning the set 25-17.

UNI could not recover in the fourth set as the Redbirds led from the first serve and closed out the Panthers 25-23.

The Panthers looked to recover against Indiana State on Saturday, but could not as they dropped their second match in as many days, 3-1.

Schultz’s second kill of the set put UNI up 17-15 before the Sycamores scored six of the next seven points

to take control of the set for the rest of the way, giving themselves an early 1-0 set lead with a 25-23 win.

Schultz had a team-high 14 kills in the match.

UNI struggled in the second set as they put up their lowest score in a set this season, scoring 12 and giving the Sycamores a chance to sweep.

The Panthers did not surrender the lead in the third set after the set was deadlocked at 3-3. Kinsey Caldwell had 13 assists in UNI’s lone set win on the night, racking up 41 total as the Panthers won 25-21.

The fourth set was the tightest of the match, experiencing seven lead changes before the Sycamores took a 17-16 lead, holding off the Panthers the rest of the way and taking the set 25-23.

UNI will take a break from MVC play as they square off with non-conference opponent South Dakota State at 6 p.m. on Tuesday in Brookings, S.D.
