HOmeCOMING kick-off & pride cry

KIRBY DAVIS/Northern Iowan

SARAH RITONDALE staff writer

The Maucker Union was flooded with hundreds of students ready to show their Panther Pride through songs and dance moves on Monday, Oct. 2.

Monday’s Homecoming Kick-Off event played host to UNI’s annual Pride Cry competition, which consisted of 12 groups of students from different student organizations who performed a song and dance routine.

Each Pride Cry group competed to be one of three finalists to perform on Friday, Oct. 6, at the Homecoming Pep Rally in the West Gym. The three finalists are The Movement, Camp Adventure and SAA & CATS. “I went last year but I didn’t really know anyone, so this year was much more entertaining,” said Abbey Browning, sophomore elementary education major. “I will try to go every

year because I think it is a fun way to kick off Homecoming week and get everyone excited to cheer the Panthers on.

I might even participate in it next year!”

Pride Cry has several rules, one of which stated that no sound equipment could be used. However, each group had to have one song based around the Star Warsinspired Homecoming theme of “Panthers Awaken,” as well

Sands Wright Hall in honor of David Sands Wright, one of the first two professors at what was then the Iowa State Normal School.

“60 years ago, it was named for David Sands Wright, who taught for 50 years,” Campbell said. “Wright was one of the original faculty of the university, and he actually taught the first class at the university, which was an English class.”

Campbell went on to say that Wright Hall was the 13th building built on campus.

However, many of the older buildings are no longer in

existence.

“Wright Hall is older than any of the dormitories, the Campanile and various other modern buildings,” Campbell said. “However, the auditorium and the physics building are older, and so is Sabin.”

According to Campbell, Lang Hall was formerly known as the Auditorium Building. It then became known as the Old Auditorium.

The exterior of Wright Hall remains nearly the same today, even 100 years after it was first built.

Wright Hall turns 100 Staff Writer

Wright Hall is a part of the legacy of UNI, as familiar to students as the Campanile, and the building is about to celebrate its 100th birthday.

According to the UNI website, construction for Wright Hall began in 1915 and was completed in 1917, with the total cost reaching $109,566.

According to Associate Professor of Mathematics Russell Campbell, in 1957, the building was named David

as the UNI fight song. This meant that not only were students dancing, but singing as well.

The emcee for the event was comedian Peter Lee. The crowd of students in attendance cheered on the various Pride Cry groups, as chatter and laughter filled the Union in between each performance.

As Lee announced each competing group, the group member, as well as their sup-

porters, would yell and cheer as loud as they could, adding to the school spirit on display.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Phi used a confetti cannon at the end of their performance, eliciting an excited response from the crowd.

Though each group did not have props like a confetti canon, they all had something special to contribute to the event.  See KICK-OFF, page 4

Low-skilled labor plagues some grads JOSHUA DAUSENER

An image that has become prevalent in the United States since the Great Recession is that of a college graduate, often saddled with tens-of-thousands of dollars of debt, working as a coffee-shop barista. Stories of college graduates working low-paying jobs for which they are clearly overqualified has been a frequent topic of news stories and online articles across the country.

However, the frequency at which college graduates find themselves working in these low-skilled, low-wage jobs is lower than seemingly perceived.

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, nationwide, about 12.6 percent of college graduates aged 22 or 23 with a bachelor’s degree are working a low-skilled service job, which includes but is not limited to: baristas, waiters and waitresses, bartenders, cooks, retail store sales clerks and cashiers.

Many college graduates who work low-skilled jobs to make ends meet after graduation often move onto better jobs; just 6.6 percent of graduates aged 26 to 27 were still working a low-skilled job.

A student’s odds of working a low-skilled job after receiving their college degree varies significantly based on their major.

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the probability of working a low-skilled service job among recent college graduates was highest among those with majors Leisure and Hospitality, 23.4 percent, Performing Arts, 20.6 percent, Fine Arts, 16.5 percent and Anthropology, 15.5 percent.

The degrees with the lowest rates of graduates working low-skilled jobs were variations of engineering degrees, which all had a less than 2.5 percent rate of graduates working low-skilled jobs, followed by Nursing, 2.5 percent,

Construction Services, 2.5 percent and Business Analytics degree holders, 2.5 percent.

According to Matthew Nuese, associate director of Career Services, being stuck in low-skilled service jobs is not always a black or white issue. Career Services assists students in their prospective career paths and keeps track of the fate of UNI students after they graduate via survey.

“If they’re in a job that is developmental or a low-skilled job, we count that percent as ‘still seeking,’” Nuese said. “So if you took a job as a sales clerk at a retail store, and you have a bachelor’s degree in political science, we’d count that as still seeking employment.”

According to Nuese, Career Services is able to keep track of where most UNI graduates end up soon after graduation.

An annual report published

by Career Services, the most recently of which was created in 2016 and published Jan. 1 of this year, was able to track down 86 percent of recent graduates to see where they were on their career paths.

The Career Services report stated that 78 percent of recent UNI graduates were employed full-time, 12 percent continued their education, 3 percent were employed part-time, 5 percent were still seeking (including UNI graduates working lowskilled jobs), greater than 1 percent joined the military and 1 percent were classified as “other, not seeking.” The report surveyed UNI graduates from the classes of August 2015, December 2015 and May 2016.

UNI graduates that were working part-time or were in the still seeking category made up 8 percent of the respondents.

According to Nuese, most UNI graduates are on a career path that they are satisfied with.

“Roughly 88 percent of our students indicated that they were satisfied with their career progression,” Nuese said.

When asked about the 6.6

Unemployment rates decrease steadliy with increased education, but low-skilled employment remains a part of employment statistics that can be deceiving.

percent of college graduates nationwide that were still working low-skilled service jobs at ages 26 or 27, Nuese said that there are some students who have their own struggles keeping work.

“They are probably people that have significant challenges to maintain work,” Nuese said.

“They might have a felony, they might have an addiction. Some of it might be as simple as they’re caregivers, or if you’re living in an economically deprived area, and there’s just no jobs, then you’re kinda stuck unless you wanna relocate. But it still costs money to relocate.

“If you bought a house, and you can’t sell your house, you’re stuck there, because of all of your investments there, and you literally have no money in your name to move because it’s typically two to four thousand dollars to move somewhere else, and so that portion [the 6.6 percent] will likely always be there.”

Nuese outlined several steps students can take to beef up their resume for employers to ensure they are on a career path they are satisfied with after graduation.

“What we provide is an understanding of what the world will be like. We give you contacts and a network in

context to understand: here’s where you could go,” Nuese said. “The one thing that will always help you is more experience, broader experience… that’s why we feed you these opportunities to have that happen.”

Nuese stated that the best thing students can do to improve their post-graduation prospects is getting experience in their field through internships, field experiences and student teaching.

When describing what employers look for in students, Neuse referenced a document from the National Association of Colleges and Employers that contained survey results of attributes employers look for most in college graduates.

The top attributes were major, leadership, extracurricular activities, GPA, ability to work on a team and communication skills.

While many college graduates find themselves working jobs they are vastly overqualified for and that do not pay enough, according to Nuese, students can take steps to increase their chances of landing on a career path with which they are satisfied.

The first such step is often just knowing what ones wants to do when one graduates.

VOLUME 114, ISSUE 12

Taking a closer look at mass murder Please, stop concluding your assessments of mass murders with the idea that greater mental health service availability would have kept a terrorist from committing the act.

While an increase in accessibility and awareness surrounding mental illness is more important now than ever, it is not the end-all answer to this epidemic.

For many people, the only time our nation’s mental health crisis is discussed is following large-scale human-induced destruction.

Contrary to this implication, it is not solely mentally unwell individuals that are capable of reeking havoc on the lives of others.

Mental illness is stigmatized and largely misunderstood in the U.S. as it is.

Claiming mental health disorders and services following a preventable tragedy is harmful, unless you’re advocating for greater mental health services for the

victims and witnesses of events like the one in Las Vegas on Sunday.

There is so much more to mass murder than mental illness — and I am not talking gun control. In addition to cries for mental health awareness and help, stop claiming that gun control is the problem and the solution to preventing catastrophes like the one the nation saw on Sunday.

Not only does stricter gun control result in disproportionately high enforcement among people and communities of color, it also fails to dig below the surface of what is happening.

Perpetrators of mass murders in the U.S. all have something in common, despite the general public’s expression of complete unawareness every time one happens. These people are consistently men, and it’s time to start discussing this because people are dying.

“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” is a saying that I once scoffed at or refuted. As of late, this is something that I can actually understand, but for reasons that are much different than what most others are offering.

I would argue that this saying touches closer to the underlying problem — the people that are committing these acts.

However, to be clear, I would not claim this saying on the basis that our lowly-regulated gun access has nothing to do with our alarmingly high rate of gun vioTRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE lence and mass In response to the deadly shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday, opinion columnist Abbi Cobb murder by calls for America to take a deeper look at the causes of mass murder. gun, because or desire for control stems not enough to explain the that would be wrong.

Responding to tragedy with kindness out the years, but I wouldn’t want to dishonor the memory of that day by not admitting all I can remember is the “where my parents say I was” story.

The morning of Oct. 2, I was up early to go to Monday Morning Prayer with the UNI Salt Company. Checking the weather report before getting ready, I saw brief headlines but was running late, and it didn’t quite connect with me that there was something uniquely horrible in progress.

Arriving at the Curris Business Building, the details, as brief as they were known that Monday morning, made it clear to me that the worst mass shooting in American history had just occurred in Las Vegas. We spent most of In light of recent news, I that morning praying for the think it’s time I told you guys Las Vegas community. about Roger.

On 9/11, hearing leave the room on that note. the “where I was when” stoThe fact that there was very ries stuck with me throughlittle I could do to help at the time also didn’t sit right with me.

This is where Roger comes in.

This August while doing some Salt Company-related shopping at the local Cedar Falls Hy-Vee, my friend and I saw a man standing on the side of the parking lot. He was holding a poster board sign, and we both assumed the worst — a homeless man in need.

But that man was TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE named Roger, and that Pictured above is a memorial for the victims of Sunday’s shooting in Las Vegas. sign said, “You Have Campus life editor Leziga Barikor urges readers to appreciate life and to make an Purpose” in big bold effort every day to display kindness to others. letters.

Without saying a word or in any way hailing cars, Roger’s sign seemed to clearly stop some people in their tracks as cars would slow down while passing him.

My friend said we needed to drive back, so we did. This is what I learned about Roger.

Roger is a retired Vietnam War marine veteran and not homeless.

He said one reason why he holds up that sign every fall is for his fellow veterans. He also holds it up for everyone who needs to hear that message.

He doesn’t ask for money and has turned down every cent offered to him. He said he felt called by God to hold up that sign and remind people that they are alive for a purpose, and he says he’ll stop when “the good Lord takes me home.”

So, in light of Roger’s remarkable display of kindness, I decided the best way my busy schedule would allow me to respond to the tragedy in Las Vegas was to display kindness. Not like I wasn’t already that person who tries to smile at every stranger I see in passing anyway, but in a more intentional way.

So here are some of my tips and things I’ve done that I have noticed seem to slow down the traffic of life in kindness: 1) Compliment someone that you usually see everyday 2) Introduce yourself to that stranger you always see at that same place at the same time 3) Dance like no one is watching because they are and they’re laughing with you 4) Invite people you don’t usually hang out with to join your plans 5) If you notice someone’s haircut, acknowledge it with a compliment (repeat if necessary) 6) If you overhear someone struggling at something you can help with, awkwardly offer your help (i.e. Rod Library printing struggles) 7) Tell someone you believe in them Those are some things that I do, and, especially with number three, I have had a bit of success making some people smile.

Lastly, get your hopes up; for every new day, remember nothing has to stay the same.

A DJ dressed up in Jedi warrior garb blasted pop music and Star Wars theme music remixes during the Homecoming Picnic at the Campanile Plaza on Oct. 4 at 11 a.m. until around 1 p.m.

There were four different food stations with long lines as students gathered for a free lunch of walking tacos and cookies. All food items were supplied by UNI Catering. There was also tabling from the Riverview Center, Student Wellness and an alcohol awareness booth.

“They gave a good meal,” said Aisha Miller, senior communication disorder and science major. “I love Homecoming week. I love going to the kickoff and all the stuff they have to offer.”

“I love this — being outside,” said freshman actuarial science statistics major Amber Thompson.

For many students, this was their first UNI homecoming week.

“It’s different; it’s not like what we have back in my country,” said Ehsan Ulhaq, freshman business econom-

ics major and international student from Pakistan. “And there’s pretty diversified activities.”

There were inflatables in Lawther field that students could use after signing a waiver. The Campus Activity Board, which is sponsoring Homecoming week, administered the waivers. There were also free airbrush tattoos and balloon hats.

“It’s got a lot of fun things to do that I guess I haven’t done in a long time,” said senior human resource management major Emily Bonnstetter. “It was fun to do something kind of different.”

“It’s like a whole week, so I’m excited. And it’s only Wednesday,” Ulhaq said.

KICK-OFF

continued from page 1

“I liked how much our group got into our performance,” said Tanner Smith, freshman history major and participant in Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Xi Delta’s performance. “It really allowed for practicing to be really fun and I met a lot of new people from it.”

Each group that participated appeared to be enthusiastic to be performing. The energy was apparent through dance moves, laughing and smiling faces, props and costumes.

Aside from the confetti canon that Sig Ep and APhi used, the International Student Association did their entire performance as the Galactic Empire, with one person completely dressed as Darth Vader and the rest of the group

dressed as Stormtroopers — all in an effort to tie into the “Panthers Awaken” Homecoming theme.

“People who are wanting to perform should be ready to get hyped because you’re going to have to, or else you’ll look like the odd one out of your group,” Smith said.

All performers of The Movement, a hip hop dance student organization, appeared unified as they competed at Monday’s KickOff event. They stayed in synch while showing their Panther Pride through their dance routine.

“I loved the Movement’s performance. They were amazing!” said Jennie McClain, senior communication studies major. “I wish I could dance like them! I also loved hearing everyone change the words to songs to fit the theme.”

WRIGHT HALL

continued from page 1

An elevator was added for the convenience of students; however, the stairwells are original. According to Campbell, the building was majorly renovated 25 years ago, and due to the cost, this mostly involved installing air conditioning and improved windows.

The purpose of the open house is to celebrate Wright Hall. It’s to acknowledge the past.

Russell Campbell

Associate Professor of Mathematics

According to Campbell, the functions of the building were the primary improvements, not the structure.

The bottom floor has bearing walls, as well as twenty inches of concrete floor, so it was left alone. Walls were, however, moved on the upper floors to make offices for the professors.

“They mainly put in better windows and air con-

ing on audience reactions.

Throughout each game, the performers would ask audience members to shout out certain objects or professions that could be used in the acts.

The first game was called “Sit, Kneel, Stand,” and the second game was called “Hey Coach.”

The third game was entitled “Film Noir,” which is a style of film coined for being full of pessimism, fatalism and menace. The idea of this third game was to use an object suggested by the audience in monologues. The object suggested was an apple.

The fourth game was called “Something You May Do on Your Afternoon,” which prompted the audience to shout out things like “go to church” and “sleep in.” Another popular suggestion was “grow corn.”

The fifth game was called “Sex with Me,” which, based on the reaction from the crowd, was clearly the favorite of the night. The game involved lots of audience participation, as attendees yelled out objects and professions.

The SAR performers then each had to take turns using the object or profession in a joke. The four suggestions

that were taken by the SAR performers were: firefighter, barista and dental hygienist as professions, with a stapler and a lamp being the objects. Although the jokes were raunchy, they matched with the theme of the game, and it was a major crowd pleaser for many students.

“My favorite part of the show was the ‘Sex with Me’ game because it was so funny,” said Anja Buerger, an international student at UNI, studying business administration in her junior year.

I just want to spread joy and help people laugh.

This is a really great group of people to be with, and we’re all friends even outside of SAR. Peter Flynn

Some Assembly Required Member

The sixth and final game played was called “Four Square,” which involved some of the performers acting out suggestions from the audience. Four performers were given four team

pairings: performers one and two, two and three, three and four, and four and one.

Each pairing was given a suggestion by the audience that they had to use in their scene. The host for the game would yell “rotate forward,” and then the next pair would start their scene.

Each pair would continue their scene when it was their turn again.

At the end of the show, the audience was asked to donate $1 to SAR. While the donations weren’t a requirement, the donations will assist SAR in achieving their biggest goal, which is to perform in New York City.

“I thought the creativity was pretty good, and it was funny,” said Mollie Sherman, a sophomore at UNI studying psychology.

“It was wildly inappropriate, and that was hilarious.

This was my first time at an SAR event.”

SAR performs all across the Cedar Valley and will be holding another show in October.

When the building was first opened, the ground floor housed agriculture and the first floor held manual training. The second floor held domestic science, commonly known as home economics, and the top floor was for art.

Women’s soccer beats Viterbo 3-0 JERRIUS CAMPBELL Sports Writer

The UNI women’s soccer team continues to dominate this season with their eigth shut out of the season after beating Viterbo 3-0. Goal keeper Jami Reichenberger posted another shutout on Monday.

Reichenberger ended the contest with two saves, adding to her season total of 39. Through 12 games Reichenberger has faced 106 shots, only allowing six goals all season. The women’s soccer team continues to impress with several record breaking stats.

They have set a record for the most wins in the school’s history, surpassing the team of 2003 with 10 wins this season.

They also tied the record for most shutouts by a UNI women’s soccer team with eight total. In

the 40th minute against Viterbo, Johnnie Hill scored her first goal of the season off of an assist from Maddy Germann.

This put the Panthers on the board first in the first period of Monday’s game.

Sophomore S yd n e y Hayden added to her total assists for the season in the 70th minute with a goal from Jenny Wick.

Sarah Brandt also added to her assist total with her fifth of the season thanks to a goal from redshirt junior Julianne Trizzino.

This was Trizzino’s first goal of the season.

As the women’s soccer team looks ahead, they have a big inter-conference game against Missouri State coming up this weekend. The Panthers hold one of the best records in their conference and look to keep the win streak going on the road at Missouri State.

After nine years... The Juice is loose again OPINION

Sports Editor

O.J. “The Juice” Simpson was the first pick in the 1969 NFL draft and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1985. He effortlessly became an iconic actor by 1988 and was acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife in 1995.

Later in 2008, he was found guilty on accounts of kidnapping, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and conspiracy charges. Finally, Simpson has been released from Lovelock Correctional Center on Oct. 1.

Simpson, now 70 years old, has been granted parole after serving nine years at Lovelock in northern Nevada, but wishes to serve his parole in Florida where his family resides.

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, however, released a statement hoping to influence the Department of Corrections to deny his transfer.

“The specter of his residing in comfort in Florida should not be an option,” Bondi said. “our state should not become a country club for this convicted criminal.”

Simpson’s attor ney, Malcolm Lavernge, was angered by this statement.

He told the Tampa Bay

Times that she had no business in Simpson’s case and that her opinion was irrelevant due to her position within the state.

“It’s virtually a foregone conclusion that Simpson will be moving to Florida when he chooses and once Nevada approves it,” Lavernge said.

“That’s handled by the Nevada Division of Parole and Florida Department of Corrections, not the attorney general.”

Simpson was the first

pick in the first round by the Buffalo Bills in 1969.

He had over 11,000 rushing yards, 61 touchdowns, 2142 receiving yards and caught 14 passes in the end zone. In college, he led all running backs across the country and received the Heisman Trophy before joining the NFL. After being inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1985, Simpson took a different career route and took to acting. He started off with

commercials and was then offered larger roles including the two “Naked Gun” movies, “The Towering Inferno” and “Capricorn One.” In 1995, Simpson was put on trial in California for the murder of ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman.

He was found not guilty as his defense team, widely referred to as the “Dream Team,” was able to convince the jurors that the DNA

found on sight was tampered with, or may have not been a credible source due to how new and possibly unreliable forensic science was 22 years ago.

When the verdict was announced on Oct. 3, 1995, 100 million people watched the judge deem Simpson not guilty. The families of the deceased found him liable for their loved one’s deaths and was ordered to pay the relatives $33.5 million.

Just over 10 years later, Simpson would be put on trial again in Nevada for 10 counts that included burglary, kidnapping, robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. It was said Simpson entered a hotel room in Las Vegas with a group of men behind him and robbed a sports memorabilia dealer at gunpoint.

He admitted to taking the items, but claimed they were originally stolen from him. After his trial, he would spend the next nine years at Lovelock Correctional Center and would not be released until earlier this week.

Simpson’s story is that of an iconic sports hero who got mixed up in some less than favorable affairs.

He is finally out on parole and hoping to return to a semi-normal life in Florida with his family.
