Saturday was an all-around victory for the Panthers. Beating South Dakota University, 20-7, presents UNI with a 4-4 record, placing them 2-3 in the MVFC. Though USD scored early on in the first quarter, it did not slow down the Panthers as they answered back with two scoring drives in the second quarter, putting them up 14-7. The Panther’s offense was able to march for a total of 398 yards. Head coach Mark Farley said there were three aspects of the game that were contributing factors to the victory. “I’d like to finish off some of those drives with touchdowns,” Farley said. “But defense was sound for most of the day, special teams were great and the offense moved the ball up and down the field.” Offense was not the only key component for the Panthers on Saturday. The defense limited USD to only 187 yards of offense. “We figured out fairly quickly what their thought was to move the football,” Farley said. “So, as soon as we

What better way is there to get into the Halloween spirit than shooting zombies and eating your weight in caramel apples? On Thursday, the Campus Activities Board and the Veterans Association teamed up to host their first ever CABtoberfest in the Union. The event had pumpkin and face mask painting, zombie laser tag, a scavenger hunt, mini games and lots of snacks, including create-your-own caramel apples. The event was open to any and all UNI community members to celebrate the Halloween season. “CAB just likes celebrating the seasons,” said entertainment executive of CAB and senior and human resources major, Rachel Dole. “We will probably have Halloween events like this one for years to come.” One of the most popular events of the night was the zombie laser tag. It was provided by the Veterans Association, who teamed up with Hick’s Place in Cedar Falls.

Hudson building location due to the inadequacy of storage conditions there. The three exhibits featured at the re-opening were: Lighting Up: Drug Culture Around the World, Dia de los Muertos and Elements of Design: Historical Symbolism in Material Culture. According to Arndt, these exhibits displayed around eight percent of the artifacts the museum has in its possession. The re-opening is one
of the many ways that the museum is trying to expand its accessibility to students and the public, according to Chris Cox, the Rod Library dean. Cox said that the goal is to make the museum a big student resource, and with funding help from the university provost, the museum has been able to renovate the Rod location to fit this purpose.

The UNI Museum features both UNI and non-UNI artifacts. The museum moved into Rod Library on Oct. 31.
The UNI Museum reopened on Oct. 31 featuring three new exhibits. Jessica Cruz, who prepared the exhibit, said this re-opening has been in the works for three years. According to Nathan Arndt, the museum curator, the UNI museum had to shut its doors in 2012 and was forced to move from the old

BROWN FOR MAYOR Cedar Falls, Iowa
An event planning class at UNI has been working all semester to put together a week-long fundraiser event. Those involved in the course hope their work will lead to the implementation of a new event planning emphasis program within the public relations major. Gayle Pohl, public relations instructor, teaches the special events planning course. This new class provides 33 students with hands-on experience in the growing field of PR, according to Andrea Pingel, senior English major. From the start of the semester, the class has been preparing for their Paint the Town Red event, taking place on College Hill and Main Street during the week of Nov. 9-14. The students planning the event hope to raise $5,000 for the American Heart Association (AHA) by selling bracelets and tickets that provide individuals with discounts to local businesses. According to Lexi Moore, senior public relations major, the class split into two different entities to reach their goal.

Arndt explained that, along with the renovations for making the Rod Library into a safe place to house museum artifacts, they have also worked on implementing a popular museum trend known as “open storage.” Since only around 20 percent of museum artifacts are featured at any one time, having open storage containers allows the public to see the other 80 percent of artifacts that the museum has. Cruz said the museum is working towards more student and public collaborations. The featured exhibit “Lighting Up: Drug Culture Around the World” was put together by an intern from the museum and showcased various smoking pipes from different decades and countries, along with ashtrays

Katie Knudson, senior public relations major, said that Pohl is highly involved with the AHA and was able to provide the students with reliable contacts. “A lot of us were just astounded at how much heart disease and heart illness affects everybody,” said Pingel. “We just thought it was a good organization that we could stand behind, and we also thought it would be a good way to raise awareness about heart health.” A shopping discount day will take place on Main Street in Cedar Falls on Thursday, Nov. 12. Customers may buy a $25 ticket to receive half-discounts from fifteen stores, or a $35 ticket to receive full discounts at multiple businesses on Main Street. Main Street will also be hosting live music from a few local bands, such as Suave Johnny’s and One of Us. Hot chocolate and cookies will also be provided, according to Pingel. Additionally, individuals are able to purchase a $5 wristband for daily deals and weeklong specials from participating businesses located on College Street. Information regarding the discounts can be found on
the website, cedarvalley.red. Wristband and ticket purchases can also be made on the site. Moore has enjoyed the experience of the class thus far and has found it to be quite rewarding. “I think it’s a lot of fun to watch it come together, [the event is] kind of like your baby by the end,” Moore said. Pingel said she believes taking this class will help to market herself when looking for a job after graduating this coming December. According to Pingel, Paint the Town Red will be the only event put on by the class this semester. They plan to present information regarding the preparation and outcome of the event to the AHA and possibly UNI administration. According to Knudson, UNI faculty hopes to change the curriculum for the public relations major by incorporating a special events emphasis, as well as a sports and strategic public relations emphasis. Knudson went on to say that the department plans to offer another trial course next semester, focusing on a potential sports public relations emphasis.
from UNI’s past. The “Dia de Los Muertos” exhibit was a collaboration between the museum and UNI’s Hispanic Latino Student Union. Marie Olmos, director of relations for HLSU, said that the museum reached out to their organization for the exhibit and used their input to find certain items they felt needed to be featured. Olmos went on to say the museum provided the “calaveras,” or skulls, for decoration and various community activities. “Elements of Design: Historical Symbolism in Material Culture” featured various baskets, quilts and pottery from around the world. The museum’s open storage associated with this exhibit housed many more similar artifacts, Arndt said. The UNI Museum was once accredited by the American Alliance of Museums, but that
accreditation was lost due to many factors, according to Kate Martin, head of resource management at Rod Library. Martin said the main factor leading to the removal of accreditation was the loss of the full-time director’s position, and some minor issues included the closing of the museum building to the public and the relocation itself. Arndt went on to say that the issue of the museum regaining its accreditation is, “Not an ‘if,’ but a ‘when.’” According to Amdt, every step the museum has taken so far, including opening up to the public again, works towards regaining the accreditation. With only around 10 percent of museums in America being accredited, Arndt said that UNI’s museum should be accredited because of its role as an educational tool for the university and the public.

VOLUME 112, ISSUE 19
All-Staff opinion column
What’s the most important Vote 2016 issue? The problem with picking one important issue for the 2016 presidential election is that doing so assumes any of the candidates are even remotely willing to speak the truth on any topic you choose to be invested in. As far as I can tell, not one of the current GOP candidates is capable of telling the truth, instead choosing to frame and code their words in a manner that presents nothing but fear to their voting base. It’s a disgusting tactic, and one most of us can
see through. Unfortunately, they’ve managed to lie in such a way that those who do believe their nonsense believe it whole-heartedly to the point they would die to prove just how right they are about being wrong. So, if I’m picking one important topic, I’m picking the truth. Don’t get me wrong, I think the Democrats are essentially useless, but at least they aren’t openly horrible human beings like the GOP. More specifically, I’d like to hear how every gun nut running around with loaded weapons is going to make us safe. I’d like to hear each of the 97 candidates explain why they hate women so much. I’d like to hear how each of the 97 candidates
plans to destroy all social welfare programs, while continuing to give billions of dollars to giant corporations. I’d like to hear why only rich people deserve quality healthcare. I’d also like to hear the board of regents tell the truth about why tuition has outpaced inflation at an alarming rate (spoiler alert: they won’t). There’s a hundred more issues I don’t have the space for here, but I challenge everyone in the GOP to try being a decent human being for four seconds of their miserable lives, because not all of us have the money or power necessary to run for office, and we’re stuck with the decisions these morons make.
It’s hard to choose one issue as being more important than others when it comes to the 2016 presidential election. Rather than getting bogged down in those details here, I have only one request of my fellow Panthers: please make the barest effort to educate yourselves about our political process, and who is taking part in it. I fear that many UNI students won’t be ready to focus on specific issues until they get their footing in the political landscape in general. To illustrate the need for a remedial course in politics for some people ages 18-22, I have a true story to tell you. (I understand October is oct-over, but I’m sure we can
all handle one more spooky story.) Recently, I was at a UNI event with a guest presenter who looked remarkably like Jeb Bush. I turned to the person next to me to point this out; she responded, “I don’t know who Jeb Bush is.” Flummoxed but not defeated, I turned to the two people behind me, desperately trying to find someone to agree with me about the uncanny likeness of this presenter to the presidential candidate. I received the exact same response. Not “I don’t know what Jeb Bush looks like,” but, “I don’t know who Jeb Bush is.” Since then, I have been waking up in a cold sweat several nights a week, plagued by apocalyptic visions of people in my generation giving up their futures to a bunch of codgery old people who have nothing but time on their hands and bitterness in their hearts. Please, don’t make my dreams come true.

One issue that has not had a lot of attention with presidential candidates that I think should have more attention is policing and prison reform. This issue has been a headline issue with what seems like a new video being released every week showing some form of police brutality. I tie these two hot-button issues together, not because they are alike, but because they go hand in hand with the flawed justice system in the United States.
The American justice system is designed to target poor people and minority groups. This has become especially prevalent in the last 30 years since the drug war started to gain momentum. In the 1970’s and 80’s, quite a bit of legislation was passed that allowed the police to use whatever force they deem necessary and to enter private property (i.e. someone’s home) without asking permission from anyone other than a judge, all in the name of the war on drugs. Today, police are entering our schools and taking students out of classes with extreme force. Or they are shooting people during routine traffic stops. Some of
these cases are justified. After all, the police do need to protect themselves. But there should be some checks. Only a few presidential candidates are even talking about these incidents, though. According to ontheissues. org, a website dedicated to identifying where political leaders stand on the issues, a few candidates have talked about where they stand on policing and prison reform. In a 2013 interview with Fox News, Ben Carson summed it up pretty well: “It’s not a perfect system. But it’s the best system that we have. We have to decide whether we are willing to live with that or not.”
As a prospective voter, there are many issues that I’m looking out for in the 2016 presidential election. As a student, college affordability is a pressing issue, yet I do not see it as the most important issue in this particular cycle. Income inequality is the dearest to my heart, yet again, I do not see it as the most important issue in this particular cycle. Here’s the thing: the candidate of your choosing can say whatever their supporters want to hear, but what does their political action committee say? When deciding who to vote for, it’s important to question who the candidate will owe upon their election to office. After all, when your campaign (and consequently your election) is bought, you’re literally indebt-
ed to whoever paid for it. There are many problems plaguing the current United States’ system, but there are few that have had as many effects as the Citizens United ruling has. The 5-4 Supreme Court decision extended First Amendment rights to corporations and unions. This makes it possible for the two entities to contribute to campaign finance, which usually results in their interests being represented by the respective candidate. Not only can large corporations and unions spend money on the political campaign process, the donation amount cannot be imposed on by government regulation. This ruling has created many politicians into the “puppets” that they have come to be known as. While each candidate’s intentions may be good, their freedom is limited to representing the multi-million and billion dollar corporations that funded their success. Choose yours wisely.

Noehren Hall ‘great scare for a great cause’ CLINTON OLSASKY Staff Writer
The biting wind and chilly October air failed to deter the brave scare-goers that waited in line on the west side of Noehren Hall on Wednesday and Thursday night, where the dorm held their annual haunted house, Horror on Hudson. The admission fee was either $2 or two non-perishable food items. All the proceeds from the event benefitted the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, a local non-profit organization located in Waterloo. According to the Northeast Iowa Food Bank’s official website, the organization’s mission is to “provide nutritious food and grocery products to nonprofit organizations and individuals in Northeast Iowa, while offering hunger education programs to
the community and those in need.” Sophomore accounting major, Brian Johnson, served as the chair of the Advertising and Logistics Committee for the Noehren Haunted House this year. “Not only is it an accessible haunted house that’s on campus in a controlled location,” Johnson said, “its admission benefits a good, local charity that’s always in need.” After paying the admission fee, students were escorted inside the Noehren Hall basement by a guide. A DJ from KULTLP accentuated the unnerving atmosphere with Top 40 radio. While in line, students were greeted by several creepy characters, including a silent hooded figure and a life sized doll that played “Ring around the Rosie” with unsuspecting victims. Once inside the base-
ment, participants were forced to wade through an ocean of veritable nightmares, lit only by the erratic flashing of strobe lights. Spider webs hung from the walls, messages of impending doom written in blood and a multitude of unsettlingly and convincing “scare actors”; all of these added to the haunted house’s effect. These terrifying tormenters included: a butcher chopping up a live victim, a vampire in the laundry room and a girl ominously playing the theme from the 1978 horror film, “Halloween” on the piano. In addition, a significant section of the tour was devoted to a haunted circus filled with clowns, one of which was particularly adamant about retrieving student’s noses with a large pair of forceps. While the scare actors did not hesitate to scream within close
proximity of the tour members, none of them actually touched the participants. The majority of the tour guides and scare actors were primarily from
Noehren, but some of the volunteers came from other residence halls on campus. See HAUNTED, page 5

FILM REVIEW
Film defies the odds JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic
“The Walk” is the true story of a big dreamer. Phillip Petite came to America in the 70’s to achieve his lifelong aspiration of finding the perfect place to perform his tightrope walking act; that place is in between the Twin Towers. The story is narrated by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays the part of Petite in the film. Using a surprisingly accurate and believable French accent, Levitt captures Petite’s spirit and passion for his art during the narration scenes, the voice-overs and during the course of the movie itself. His performance is inspiring and is the beating heart of the film. This is categorized as a character drama, much like director Robert Zemeckis’s other films, “Forrest Gump” and “Flight.” Ben Kingsly co-stars as Petite’s mentor, Papa Rudy. The father-son chemistry between the two was very fun to watch; the two play off of each other very well. The other tent pole to this amazing circus act is the visual direction. The cut-ins of Petite’s narration have him standing on the torch of the Statue of Liberty. This is how the film begins, and it sets up a magical, fable-like feeling that is this amazing story of an American Dream come true. There are three parts to this movie, the first being a telling of Petite’s origins as a
street performer in France and the second part shifts tones into a heist type film as Petite and his friends stage their illegal hanging of the high wire across the World Trade Center. The third and final part is Petite’s walk, which is beautifully and creatively shot using liberal amounts of CGI to recreate the historic event. Levitt was taught by the actual Phillip Petite how to walk the tightrope and learned to walk by himself after just eight days. Like the operation to hang the wire, were some hiccups along the way during the movie. Sometimes the narration seems unnecessary, as the action on the screen is enough to tell what is going on. “The Walk” also doesn’t quite achieve its soaring aspirations in some parts, but it makes a solid effort. Overall, “The Walk” is a spectacle to see, however those afraid of heights should use caution. Not only does it fantastically retell the death-defying dreams of one man, but there is a satisfying respect paid toward the Twin Towers; Zemeckis dedicated this movie to the victims of the September 11 attacks. Beautifully shot by cinematographer Daruisz Wolski, the historic event is brought to life with a dream-like spin, keeping things fresh without being a fact-heavy documentary, but an inspiring true tale of the American Dream.

Jenni Stevenson, owner of Hick’s Place, shared how much she enjoys working with the Veterans Association for events like this. “We love working with our veterans and like to do whatever we can to help out,” said Stevenson. The ladies from Capri College beauty school came to help with the zombie makeup. Freshman elementary education major, Emma Cox, spoke fondly of the makeup work done. “The makeup was really good,” Cox said. “It looked so real.” In addition, there was a wide variety of mini-games throughout the night for students to participate in, including: “Mummy Wrap Wars,” “Musical Chairs,” “Candy Corn Races,” “Guess That Creepy Sound,” “Halloween Movie Trivia” and “Ball-Cup Toss.” Students were also lined up to decorate pumpkins and face masks.

According to Johnson, the event’s success relied heavily on student involvement, and a lot of work went into the finished product. “We’ve essentially been planning since the beginning of the semester,” Johnson said. “There’s been contact with the theater department to assist with makeup, and decorating has been going on all week.” Students who participated in the frightening festivities were not disappointed.

Panthers win out over Halloween weekend ZACH HUNTLEY
Sports Writer
The UNI women’s volleyball team defended their honor here at home both Friday and Saturday night. Taking the Illinois State Redbirds, 3-1, on Friday and the Indiana State Sycamores, 3-0, on Saturday, the Panthers advanced in Missouri Valley Conference rankings. The Panthers started slow in their first set of the weekend. A combination of a strong Redbird defense and a number of errors from UNI set them back, 22-25, in the first set. Starting cold in the second set, both teams slowly turned up the heat and began to execute a number of well-formed plays. Staying alive and gaining traction, the Panthers turned the tables to trump the Redbirds, 25-22. The third and fourth sets were reflections of the second and did not come easy for UNI. Set scores were tight, as the Panthers finished 25-21 and 25-23, taking a 3-1 victory over their opponent. Starting back in their second match of the weekend, the Panthers gained their footing soon after—executing a six-point run that pushed them through the rest of the set, finishing 25-19.
Down, 8-10 in the second set against the Sycamores, UNI turned the tides with another fivepoint run. Using this momentum, the Panthers took the second set with another 25-19 victory. Staying within four points of each other for the majority of the third set, the Panthers held on to their lead and took the set, 25-22, earning their fifth shut-out of the season. “It’s a battle. It’s a race,” said head coach Bobbi Petersen as she considers the fight for top MVC seeds. “Any win right now—when you have four teams between 2nd and 6th place—is huge.” After their victories this weekend, UNI has clinched a 15-11 season record while advancing 9-4, in the Missouri Valley Conference rankings. Subsequently, the Panthers lowered the Redbirds to a 7-5 conference total and pushed the Sycamores down to 3-9 in MVC standings. The Panthers hit the road again Nov. 6 to take on Missouri State at 7 p.m. and will face Wichita State the following night, at 7 p.m. as well. The outcome of these games will be important for the Panthers, with only a month to go the MVC Championship approaching, taking place Nov. 28 in Springfield, MO.
FOOTBALL
continued from page 1
Special teams played a key role in the Panthers’ success with punter Sam Kuhter leading the charge. Kuhter set a new school record for highest punting average in a game at 52.4 yards per punt. On seperate occasions, Kuhter launched a 68-yard punt forcing USD to begin their drive at their own three-yard line, followed by a 51-yard punt rolling out of bounds on USD’s one yard line. Coyote coach Joe Glenn praised Kuhter and UNI’s special teams performance . “Those were fabulous punts,” Glenn said. “Iced the game ... didn’t give us a chance to come back and win the football game.” The Panthers’ next game will be at home against Indiana State Nov. 7 at 4 p.m.
