The kick-off of UNI’s first mental health awareness week this Monday held a special significance for a pair of sisters.

Megan Bradford, freshman, and Madison, junior, recently lost their cousin, Austin Burke, to suicide before the official start of the 2016-17 school year.

Madison said that her cousin had one semester left before graduation. Both Madison and her cousin Austin were majoring in textiles and apparel.

When Megan heard about the event through her RA and Facebook, she thought it would be a good opportunity for her and her sister to do something in remembrance of their cousin.

“It’s important to really show people that you care

and make everyone feel loved because everyone does matter and they need to know that,” Madison said.

“Everyone in our program knew Austin for his amazing sewing abilities,” Madison said.

“Every time the fashion show came around he just had the most beautiful collection. Walk on the stage and everyone was just in awe at his work, so everyone will definitely remember him for that.”

Mental health became a central issue for members of Northern Iowan Student Government (NISG), leading then-sophomores, Hunter Flesch and Avery Johnson to put mental health initiatives at the forefront of their campaign for president and vice presidency.

Chalking churns discontent JOSHUA DAUSENER Staff Writer

Heightened political tensions on campus have spawned a series of controversial chalkings this past week. Several pro-Trump and anti-Hillary messages have appeared around campus. Vandals have also defaced pro-Democrat messages on campus sidewalks.

The vandals defaced several pro-Democrat chalkings

by adding phrases including “Benghazi,” “#HillNo” and “Donald” near the messages. Various chalkings listing Democratic candidates had the names crossed out.

Some chalkings replaced the crossed out candidates with names of Republican candidates, or others such as “Harambe” and “Deez Nuts.”

Individuals also chalked several complete messages, including “Killary for Prison” near the 23rd Street Market, and “Hilary is a

murder [sic]” near Bender Hall. Additionally, individuals chalked the message “Place Hillary Votes Here” with an arrow pointing to a sewer or a trash can, depending on the location.

The chalkings were completely anonymous, as they were not signed by any particular student or student organization. It is unclear who vandalized the Democrats’ chalkings.

See CHALKING, page 2

One chalking reads “Place Hillary Votes Here” with an arrow leading towards a manhole cover. Both UNI Democrats and UNI College Republicans say they do not stand for this behavior.

troupe.

According to Wessels, the improv show on Friday will feature five or six short form games similar to what one might see on the popular television show “Whose Line is it Anyway?” This will be followed by the long form murder mystery game.

Another Some Assembly Required member, sophomore psychology and communication major Claire Guderjahn, explained that the murder mystery game will begin with the improvisers picking roles out of a hat, which will include a murderer and a host, among other characters. Audience members will have the opportunity to provide suggestions for each character’s location.

“We then turn off the light, and the host falls to the ground and we describe the scene of the murder,” Guderjahn said.

“From then, we go back to before the murder happened into different scenes, each creating a motive for killing the host. Then at the end, we have

the audience guess who did it and then cut to the scene of the murder with the host and the killer.”

Junior digital media production and performance major and Some Assembly Required member Marielle Gaiser said she is particularly excited for the upcoming show.

“I specifically like this event because I’m very into horror and creepy genre-type events, as I know a lot of students are,” Gaiser said. “I think [students] should go because it’s a type of theater that is unpredictable, as murders tend to be […] It’s an audience participation event, so it’s something that you can feel involved in. You feel like you’re doing something fun, and you’re a part of the performance.”

The 10 members of Some Assembly Required are: Marielle Gaiser, Eliza Ross, Jackie Wessels, Claire Guderjahn, Micah Zeimetz, Christopher Huling, Craig Miller, Micah Criscuolo, Jake

UNI College Republicans Director of Outreach Meredith Miller condemned the defacements in a statement to the Northern Iowan.

“As soon as we found out, we went straight to the Campanile to talk to the Northern Iowa Democrats,” Miller said. “Since we agreed that both parties have been working hard to promote voting and our candidates, it was agreed that this is something we do not stand for. We told them that we will keep our eyes and ears open to put a stop to this disrespectful behavior. We can only hope that whoever did this realizes that we don’t rise up by tearing others down.”

The UNI College Republicans have chalked several messages of their own promoting their candidates, such as U.S. House

of Representatives candidate Rod Blum and Iowa State Senate candidate Bonnie Sadler. All chalkings by student organizations, including the Northern Iowa Democrats and the UNI College Republicans, are signed by the organization that wrote the message.

“Normally, people are pretty good about following the rules. And when I say rules, we don’t have tons,” said Assistant Director for Outreach and Engagement Constance Hansen. “We’re just asking you to not chalk all over the sides of buildings, and on the sides of the fountain, and on walls and stuff.”

Hansen said she and Northern Iowa Student Government (NISG) had been in contact with political student organizations on campus to try to find out which particular students were responsible for the chalking and to try and stop future deface-

ment.

Hansen and NISG do not believe any particular organization is responsible, and that the chalkings were done by random Trump supporters.

Hansen noted several policies in the Student Organization Handbook that the chalkings violated,

This Friday, students will be witnesses to a grisly murder and the ensuing investigation into the motives and identity of the killer.

Some Assembly Required, an improvised comedy troupe consisting of 10 UNI students, will be hosting their second monthly show of the year – featuring a murder mystery game – on Oct. 28 at 9 p.m. at the Wesley Foundation.

Admission for the show is free, but those who contribute an optional $1 donation will receive a Some Assembly Required sticker.

“We encourage people to come out, hang out with us, have a good time and maybe open their perspective to something new or interesting that a lot of people don’t even know about,” said senior communication and interactive digital studies major Jackie Wessels, a member of the Some Assembly Required

These improvisers underwent a competitive audition process in order to join the troupe. Guderjahn, who became a member last year, recalled her audition experience for example. According to Guderjahn, there were

three days of auditions last year and about 15 to 20 people auditioned each day. The troupe brought back just six people – three males and three females – for callbacks, from which just one male and one female were chosen.

including: chalking on benches, chalking on the fountain outside Maucker Union, not signing the chalking with a student organization name and the defacement of other organizations’ chalkings.

The pro-Trump chalkings near Maucker Union were also in violation of election laws, which prohibit campaign materials and messages less than 300 feet from a polling location. Maucker Union has been a polling location throughout the week, hosting early and satellite voting.

In response to the defacements, Northern Iowa Democrats officer Aaron Friel orgaCourtesy Photo nized an event on Pro-Democractic Party chalkings were defaced Facebook titled last week on campus by anonymous chalkers.

“Democrats Chalk

Back” to counteract the vandalism. The event was quickly organized on a Sunday afternoon, and that night about ten people attended the event.

“It was just to put down new chalk on campus for the Democrats,” Friel said. “We wanted to stick to a positive message. When we went out to chalk [Sunday night], we didn’t chalk anything about Donald Trump. We talked about Hillary. We talked about what we’re voting for, not what we’re voting against.”

Friel noted that the Democrats drew boxes around their new chalking so that in the event of additional defacement, such vandalism would be obvious.

Most of the chalking was washed away during a rainstorm on Tuesday night.

Election day is Nov 8; early and satellite voting is ongoing in the Maucker Union today until 3 p.m

‘Modern-day slavery’ and media blackout

“Modern-day slavery” is the cry of more than 24,000 inmate protestors across United States prisons and jails right now.

The 45th anniversary of the Attica Correctional Facility uprising in upstate New York was on Sept. 9, and this year prisoners in 24 states organized and ignited the nation’s largest prison strike that remains active right now.

More than 40 institutions have documented such strikes, which have taken various forms to protest unfavorable living conditions. These conditions vary from facility-to-facility, but prison labor is the one underlying issue that is being fought among the detainees.

The average rate of pay for a state inmate is 20

cents per hour, though some states do not require wages at all. Much of the work inmates are tasked with is labor-intensive, such as fighting wildfires and creating furniture or clothing, which results in products that the state and federal government sell for profit.

It’s estimated that this industry generates $2 to $20 billion each year for the United States economy.

Prisons advocacy groups and some inmates have begun likening this practice to slavery due to the poor working conditions and little-to-no pay for those who work to produce the goods and services.

The protests have been demonstrated using three primary tactics: refusing to work, hunger strikes and in rare cases, occupying certain areas of the facilities and destroying the property.

In Wisconsin, hunger strikes have been met by force-feeding through nasal tubes. In Michigan, tactical teams employed tear gas,

shields, and guns to ward off protestors prior to leaving them outside in the rain for six hours.

And on top of all of this, what we know is likely only the tip of the iceberg.

Most of the numbers on participation and the information on the nature of the strikes have been reported by apprehensive prison staff with some pressure from journalists and various prison reform organizations, which might indicate that the strikes have expanded beyond the statistics that have been made publicly available. After all, it is in the interests of the facility staff to conceal the events that would convey that their practices are problematic.

Meanwhile, major media outlets have almost exclusively ignored the issue, leaving The Guardian, The Nation, Vox and Countercurrent News as primary sources for information on the events. In the time since the strikes arose, sources such as CNN or the New York Times have

LTE: ‘Conservative women’ column strikes chord

I want to tell you how much I appreciate Kyle Day’s October 24 article, “It’s time to talk about conservative women.”

As a conservative woman myself, I appreciate the support. Day seems to think that the reason for the progressives’ attack on conservative women stems from their “incapacity to comprehend the very possibility of sincere, thoughtful conservative women,” but here he might be mistaken.

The progressives comprehend us very well, and that is what motivates the attacks.

We conservative women are quite clearly a threat to them; if we weren’t, they wouldn’t expend so much energy in an

attempt to silence us.

Oddly, some feminists in the progressive camp, instead of offering sensible, coherent, thought-provoking arguments interactive with the conservative viewpoint with a goal towards civilized discourse with other women, choose instead to discredit, of all things, our gender identity.

It’s quite humorous to hear them go on and on about our lack of “womanhood,” when deep down inside what’s really bothering them is that they can’t quite get every woman in America aboard their tiny little boat.

In a failing attempt to discredit their conservative opponents, these “progres-

sive” feminists go back to the schoolyard playground, gather in their catty little huddles, and come out screeching, “You can’t be in the girl club (if you don’t agree with us).”

And when they can’t get us to pipe down with their impolite shaming tactics, they attempt to scream us into silence, in a very unladylike attempt to lure us into a shouting match, all the while assuring anyone who’s still listening to them that they defend equal rights for all women.

I, for one, want no part of their kind of equality.

“I was terrified. I mean, it was one of those things where the auditions and the callbacks themselves were playing games, making friends, hanging out with people – like a really cool set up anyways,” Guderjahn said. “So even if I wasn’t cast, it wasn’t like I wasted my time […] So, it felt very competitive, but at the same time, they were very inviting.”

Guderjahn said the improv troupe holds weekly practices every Sunday night in preparation for their monthly shows at the Wesley Foundation.

In addition to these monthly shows, Some Assembly Required has traveled to workshops, collaborated with troupes from Iowa City and competed in college improv tournaments, according to Wessels.

Wessels said that Some

ditions inside prisons and detention centers that elicit strikes and protests.

These events are impressive. Individuals that have been stripped of their individual and unionized agency have successfully organized a nation-wide uprising that has the potential to result in significant change — of course, only if the general public is informed and willing to assist in these much-needed reform efforts.

Assembly Required was founded back in 2013 by her brother Marty, who graduated from UNI last year. Wessels said her brother had been involved in an improv troupe when he went to Iowa Central Community College and decided to form his own troupe with his friend once he came to UNI. “They just got together and wanted to hang out with people – wanted to share that love of doing improvised comedy,” Wessels said.

Gaiser also stressed the creativity involved with being a member of Some Assembly Required.

“What we’re about is not only creating an entertainment group for [UNI] students and the community of Cedar Falls, but we’re also a creative entity that works on stimulating content that is one-hundred percent original, conceptualized in the moment, all of the time,” Gaiser said.

Now NISG President Flesch and VP Johnson were able to make good on their campaign promise by kicking off “You Matter at UNI” at the campanile from 11-2 p.m. The NISG led program hosted a friendly gathering with cookies, hot chocolate and flags of remembrance.

“The flags that we’re putting in Lawther field are just messages supporting mental health awareness,” said Flesch. “Students can write messages of support

they can write in memory of someone they lost to suicide just any positive message that they feel like a student might need to hear, so students can walk up and look at all the messages and hopefully brighten their day.”

Also surrounding the campanile, there was tabling by the Student Wellness Center, To Write Love on Her Arms (TWLOHA) and NISG leaders selling T-shirts with the “You Matter at UNI” slogan in their chosen theme color of lime green, with all the proceeds going to directly help

support students who can’t afford psychiatric services according to Flesch.

“You know as the interim president of the University of Northern Iowan, this [mental health] is something we talk about probably more than we did 10, 15, 20 years ago so this is a thing that is a regular topic of conversation among the leadership on the campus,” said Interim President Jim Wohlpart.

“I’ve always been an advocate for mental health and raising awareness and I think our university does a pretty good job of supporting and raising awareness for the cause,” said Madison.

Other students also shared stories similar to Megan and Madison’s of losing people to suicide. Freshman social work major and TWLOHA member Becca McDowell shared hers.

“There have been five suicides at my high school that I went to and I’m actually going to be a mental health counselor. That’s why I’m doing social work,” said McDowell. “I think it’s good that they’re actually advertising it because our school [Johnson High School] never really talked about mental health and I think that’s why we had so many suicides.”

She shared her experiences with mental health issues.

“Personally I struggle from different mental health issues myself, I’ve also seen how it’s impacted family members and friends of mine so it’s a very important issue,” said Frisch. “I’ve personally lost two people to suicide and I don’t want anyone to lose their battles anymore and I want to let people know that there’s support and hope and healing.”

For grad assistant Tiffany Allen who has lost a couple friends in high school to suicide, she thinks that the conversation events like this allow to happen are very impactful.

“I think it’s really going

to get the campus motivated to learn more about mental health and […] learn more about the resources that are around campus and more things that they can get involved in and just help promote mental health,” said Allen.

You Matter at UNI continued this week with a Friend-to-Friend training with UNI counselors, a “Secret Regrets” presentation on Wednesday, and this Thursday they will host a De-Stress Day in Rod Library and will continue taking donations up to Friday.

Beware: Zombie (5k) on campus SYDNEY KUNZ Staff Writer

Sunken eyes, gnashing teeth and unintelligible grunting are a regular occurrence on a campus college and are usually not a cause for concern.

However, this Thursday, students will be running for their lives from individuals with such characteristics.

The UNI Supporters of the United States Army (UNISUSA) will be hosting a 5K “Zombie Run” today.

The third annual event will begin at 6 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. that evening.

The idea for the “Zombie Run” is simple. Every participant will receive two balloons, while volunteers dressed up as “zombies” will chase them with the sole intention of popping those balloons. The main goal for participants is to not become infected by the zombies by finishing the course while keeping both

their balloons intact.

Senior public relations and political science major Trey Roosa, who is a member of UNI’s ROTC, said the course itself will include a route along UNI’s campus and nature trails .

Advance tickets are available online for $20. The price of admission will also include a T-shirt. However, tickets on the day of the event are $25, and T-shirts will be limited. The event is open to all ages, and everyone is encouraged to prepare a costume because an award will be given to the best dressed.

The proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the members of UNISUSA and help them continue to participate in a variety of programs around the country.

“The events we participate in with [the funds from] these are anywhere from our annual military ball, which […] celebrates the accomplishments of our program, to sending

cadets to Washington D.C. to the annual Army 10 miler, which is a 10 mile run through Washington D.C. where over 35,000 people from all over the country participate,” Roosa said.

The UNISUSA also attend or compete in other events, such as a range challenge, the German Armed Forces Proficiency Badge competitions and other field training exercises.

Roosa mentioned some of the other fundraising events that UNISUSA plan to host throughout the year.

“During our military ball, we offer a raffle to anyone who is interested in our prize that we are

Women’s soccer falls to ISU, 1-0 DYLAN PADY

Sports Editor

On October 23, 300 excited fans showed up to the Cedar Valley Soccer Club field in Waterloo to witness the instate rivalry between the UNI Panthers and the Iowa State Cyclones.

After a hard-fought contest, the Panthers would eventually lose their first and last home game of the season with a final score of 1-0.

The only goal of the night was scored in the 67th minute of play by Iowa State’s Klasey Medelberg, her third goal of the season.

The first half of the game saw Iowa State outshooting UNI 5-0. It was not until the second half of the game when UNI began

their offensive attack, attempting four shots compared to ISU’s seven.

Sydney Hayden, Kelsey Yarrow, Camille Dela Cruz and Sarah Brandt were the only Panther players who took shots against the Cyclones. Yarrow was the only player to record a shot on goal.

Whitney Blunt played the entire 90 minutes of the game and allowed only one goal after recording three saves.

Of ISU’s 12 total shots, Blunt was able to save the three attempts that were actually on goal. With only one game left in the regular season, Blunt has totaled 28 saves with a .651 save percentage.

After their loss to Iowa State, UNI advances to 8-6-3 with their final game featuring an away

game against Illinois State.

The Redbirds are currently undefeated in the MVC with a record of 4-0-1 against teams in the Valley.

Illinois State has won seven of their last eight games.

Their contest against Missouri State was the only game that resulted in a 1-1 tie.

This is significant improvement for a team that was 1-4 in their first five games of the season.

Some of the Redbirds’ top scorers consist of Lauren Koehl who has scored 14 goals, Kelli Zickert, Mikayla Unger and Abby Basler follow closely with five goals on the season.

The last game of the regular season is a big one.

The Panthers will take on the Redbirds today at 6:00pm.

Time to ‘beCleve’ after game one BRENNAN WHISLER Sports Columnist

Tuesday, October 25 proved to be quite a dominant night for Cleveland sports teams — a feeling that has not been experienced for quite some time now.

The Cavaliers raised their first ever World Championship banner as they also handled the New York Knicks with a final score of 117-88.

But the bigger story in Cleveland was on the baseball diamond. The Cleveland Indians are that much closer to winning their first World Series since 1948.

To record the win, they had to overcome the MLB darling Chicago Cubs, who are themselves looking for their first Series win since 1908. It’s the largest combined drought in Series history.

To say the night started well for the Indians would be an understatement. Their starting pitcher, Corey Kluber, started with eight strikeouts on the first nine batters, a new record for a World Series game.

The heat Kluber was showing the Cubs didn’t rub off on them. Chicago’s own defense was ineffective and their starter, Jon Lester, had lackluster throws to start the

game. He allowed three ER’s (earned runs), with two of them in the first.

He also walked three batters over 5 2/3 innings. The Cub’s biggest problem was closing out innings. Five

of the six runs Cleveland scored came with two outs and nobody on base. Kluber allowed four hits versus nine SO’s (strikeouts) over 7 1/3 innings To complement the pitch-

ing performance, catcher Roberto Perez batted .500 on four plate appearances. Both of those hits were homers that drove in four runs total.

Perez drove in every run after the first inning and

assured the home team would win. On the flip side, only two Cubs reached base multiple times, Ben Zobrist and Kyle Schwarber. This game saw Schwarber return after missing most of the season; he was a success when compared to his teammates. In total, the Indians scored six runs on 10 hits.

The Cubs, on the other hand, were stymied by great pitching and tallied zero runs on seven hits. Neither team recorded an error.

While it’s not time to panic if you are a Cubs fan, this game does bring up some concerns. Chicago can’t afford to have their offense go AWOL. There are a few reasons to hope though: this was Cleveland’s best pitcher and he will be gone until Game 4. Chicago has two other Cy Young-level pitchers in the stable ready to throw the heat.

If you’re an Indians fan, take the dub while you can because the Cubs will come back swinging, just ask the Dodgers.

Cubbies, you need to relax – it’s taken 71 years to get back here, don’t jump ship because of one wave.

As of press time, game two of the World Series had not yet been played.
