Holocaust survivor visits Hearst Center PEYTON HUSMANN Staff Writer
The Hearst Center for the Arts was packed on Oct. 30 as people f locked to hear Holocaust survivor Steen Metz. There was only standing room left available as Metz told the story of how, as a child in Denmark, he and his family were arrested and taken to Theresienstadt Concentration Camp in Czechoslovakia. Metz’s main goal with his presentation, titled “My Story: Surviving the Holocaust,” was to reach as many people as possible. He had already reached over 60,000 people and hoped to eventually reach over 100,000, he said. “I have to tell you, I’m thrilled to see so many young people. You’re the future of America,” Metz said. “It’s very, very important to me to spread the word to as many people as possible.” Throughout his presentation, Metz highlighted how Denmark’s occupation was quite unique compared to that of other countries in Europe.
Denmark was occupied by Germany in April 1940. Metz said that for the first two-and-a-half years, conditions were relatively normal. He recalled how he and his family were even able to go on a vacation during the occupation. However, things changed for Metz and his family in 1943 when tensions began to rise between the people of Denmark and German soldiers. That year, the German army began looking for the small population of Jews living in Denmark. Metz said that a large number of the Jewish people in Denmark were able to escape to Sweden by hiding on boats that were traveling over the channel. Sadly, this was not the case for Metz and his family. On Oct. 2, 1943, Gestapo officers came knocking on the door of the Metz family’s home in Odense, Denmark. Metz was eight years old. He and his family were only given a 45-minutes notice to get their things packed. Along with about 60 other Jewish people in his hometown, Metz and his family were rounded up and thrown on a cargo train to

be taken to the concentration camp. They were forced to travel on this train with no food or water for over 80 hours. They arrived at Theresienstadt concentration camp in Czechoslovakia, about 550 miles south of Denmark. Metz stressed that this particular camp
was solely a work or slave labor camp, not an extermination camp like Auschwitz. “We spent 18 months in the camp and my mother would refer to it as ‘18 months of hell,’” Metz said. During those months, Metz and his family were subjected to starvation and twelve-hour days of hard
work. Also, during this time, Metz’s father passed away due to the harsh conditions. Metz said that 35,000 of the over 100,000 inmates in the camp passed away in the three-year period that it was open. Most of those deaths were due to starvation.
a Cedar Rapids father of two who attended the rally. “We’re either going to go one way or the other, and it’s a crucial time to make a decision.” Barb Taber, another woman from Cedar Rapids who came to the event, expressed her excitement ahead of next week’s vote. “I’m very excited about it,” she said. “Everybody has to get
out and vote. It’s very important.” First to the podium was Troy Price, the chair of the Iowa Democratic Party. He began the night by welcoming the crowd, including a few notable guests: former first lady of Iowa Christie Vilsack and Tim Gannon, the Democratic nominee for Iowa secretary of agriculture. Price was followed by Tucker Cassidy, a man with a quadriplegic disability who was shot in 1994 and has been featured in recent television ads in support of health care. Cassidy is also the nephew of Lieutenant Gubernatorial candidate Rita Hart. He talked about how the privatization of Medicaid had affected him and his disability, while emphasizing the importance of all Iowans getting out to vote. Rita Hart, a state senator for Iowa’s 49th senate district running for lieutenant governor, took the stage next. “In one week, Iowa will make a decision,” Hart said in
her opening statement. “That decision will be a decision of change.” Hart, who graduated from UNI with a bachelor’s degree in education, was elected to represent Clinton and Scott counties in the Iowa Senate in 2012 and was re-elected again in 2014. “If we do our job and work hard, we will be able to forge a movement that will move this state forward,” she explained. Gubernatorial candidate Fred Hubbell followed his running mate, stating “I’m running for governor of our state to put people first. We need change.” Hubbell, a fifth-generation Iowan, then recalled one of the most difficult moments of his life, when he and his wife Charlotte were taken hostage in 1981 during an airplane hijacking on a Pakistan International Airlines flight. Hubbell explained how the experience made him want to give back to the public.

Hundreds poured into the Veterans Memorial Building in downtown Cedar Rapids on Tuesday, Oct. 30, to see former Vice President Joe Biden speak ahead of the Nov. 6 midterm elections. Biden, who served as the
47th Vice President of the United States under President Barack Obama, had also served as a U.S. senator from Delaware from 1973 until 2009. As part of his appearance, he helped rally support for the Iowa gubernatorial election and first congressional district race. “I feel like the country’s at a tipping point,” said Greg Kanz,

Panther eSports eyes athletics JOSHUA DAUSENER Former News Editor
Panther eSports, UNI’s gaming student organization, is undergoing a particularly active semester. According to eSports Director of Programming Chad Schafer, Panther eSports does both competitive gaming and non-competitive gaming. “On our competitive side… we have League of Legends (LoL), Overwatch, Counter Strike Global Offensive (CS:GO) Rocket League, Heathstone and tons of other competitive games that, if students show interest, we will create a team for them, and let them compete for scholarships that tournaments have as prizes,” Schafer said. Many competitive matches have far more than pride at stake. Schafer said that the winners of the LoL tournament eSports participated in offered a $75,000 or three-years-tuition paid prize, while an Overwatch tournament offered the winning team a $7,000 scholarship per person. Junior family services major Ryan Vasquze noted that a former Panther eSports coach received a fullride scholarship with eSports.
“For our non-competitive side, we focus on trying to get residence halls active in gaming. Working on trying to get people out of their dorm rooms, our big pull is trying to get students to have a community of gamers instead of everyone in their dorms, by themselves, starting at a computer or a console.” Panther eSports was founded in 2016 and has ballooned to over 320 members in the short amount of time it’s been around, according to the organization’s UNI page. The group’s leadership is now looking to take Panther eSports to the next level by merging the competitive side of Panther eSports under UNI’s athletics department, and functioning as a sport rather than as a student organization. According to Panther eSports vice president and junior computer science major Selah Lawrensen, the chief benefit of merging with the athletics department would be improved access to the equipment necessary to run the games eSports players compete in. “A lot of our players don’t have great computers that

can actually run the games. If you have higher frames on your computer… you can have better aim and better reaction time,” Lawrensen said. “When a student has great aim or great talent in a video game, and they don’t have the proper resources to purchase a $1,000 or greater computer, they can really suffer… and they can be worse at the game. Just having funding and having sponsors to give us those resources when we have talent… that’s what merging with the athletic department would do.” Other members of eSports also cited improved access to

The 67-year old businessman spent his time discussing a number of issues, including education and wages. “One of our highest priorities is to invest in our public education system,” Hubbell explained. “We need to create good paying jobs for our hardworking men and women.” Twenty-nine-year old Abby Finkenauer took the stage next as she continued her campaign to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for Iowa’s first district. Currently serving as a state representative in the Iowa House of Representatives, Finkenauer explained how running for

scholarships for players and improved ability to market to students looking for a quality eSports program in a university. Schafer stated that merging with athletics may make it easier to rent out spaces in facilities to use in the short-term, and may make it possible for eSports to get its own facility in the long-term. Schafer noted that eSports is still in the early stages of the process. He said eSports has only had one meeting with the athletics department, which took place last spring, and that eSports is in the process of

Chapin believes that, “eSports is eventually going to be under the athletics department, it’s just whether we’re the trend-setter or we’re behind.” Associate Athletics Director for External Affairs Nathan Christensen said that adding eSports as a varsity sport is not within the athletics department’s immediate plans, writing in a statement, “At this time we are not having discussions of adding eSports as a varsity sponsored sport under the Athletics Department.

‘See it Feelingly’ in autism memoir TONI FORTMANN Staff Writer
On Tuesday, Oct. 30, author Ralph Savarese visited Bartlett Hall to speak about his latest book, “See it Feelingly: Classic Novels, Autistic Readers, and the Schooling of a No-Good English Professor.” “My book’s title, ‘See it Feelingly,’ comes from Shakespeare’s ‘King Lear’ act four, scene six,” said Savarese, who is from Grinnell, Ia. “I use this line to suggest the nature of literature’s hold on us, when we read a novel, the Scientist Cognition Literary Scholars demonstrated that we see it feelingly. We produce that essential mental imagery in our heads — visual imagery, auditory imagery, tactical imagery and motor imagery — and this imagery is bathed in emotion.” Some researchers have questioned the capabilities of those on the autism spectrum when it comes to understanding language, imaginative play and complex theory of mind pertaining to literature. Throughout his book, Savarese shows readers how people with autism challenge this viewpoint. One of these challengers is Savarese’s adopted son, DJ,

who is now 25 years old and one of the first non-verbal autistics to graduate from college. “Unlike the stereotype of autism, DJ is quite responsive with the emotions of others,” Savarese said. “In a reply to his ninth-grade English teacher’s question, ‘What are your strengths as a reader?’ he said, ‘I feel characters’ feelings.’” While constructing his book, Savarese had multiple collaborators across the autism spectrum, including Dora Raymaker, Temple Grandin, Eugenie Belkin, Jamie Burke, DJ Savarese and Tito Mukhopadhyay. He worked with them and gained knowledge from their ability to understand texts. Mukhopadhyay is unique in the fact that he was entirely homeschooled after schools in India rejected him for having “severe” or “low-functioning” autism. Mukhopadhyay, now 21 years old, has authored five books, including “How Can I Talk If My Lips Don’t Move?” In an interview with Savarese during Wednesday’s event, Mukhopadhyay explained what drew him to literature. “I think I began to write because I was introduced to
literature very early in life,” Mukhopadhyay said. “By the time I was six years old, mother had read aloud to me ‘Treasure Island’ and ‘Hunchback of Notre Dame’ along with parallel literature in Bengali and Hindi. As I grew older, mother would ask me if it was ‘me’ who was the author of the fiction she just read and, if so, how I would have ended that story. “There was a discipline around my ‘home school,” Mukhopadhyay continued. “Even after [learning] a science lesson on atoms or blood cells, I had to discuss the lesson with passages like ‘if I were a proton…’ or ‘if I were a blood platelet…’ and not mere questions. Perhaps I adopted writing from that discipline. Or perhaps from something more than that. Who knows? It just makes me wonder. Today, I write to get published.” “See it Feelingly” intertwines as a memoir and research on autism and cognitive literary studies. Savarese has a big impact not only with people on the autism spectrum, but off it as well. “If you walk out of this room with only one thing, walk out here understanding that there’s as much diversi-

All proceeds from the eSports conference will go towards the UNIVA. The conference is sponsored by the Cedar Falls Tourism Board. While the competitive side of eSports looks to merge with athletics, eSports is also looking to
bolster the more casual side of gaming. Schafer said that eSports is currently spearheading an effort to make UNI’s residence hall’s wi-fi compatible with consoles. For now, gaming consoles can only connect to the internet via an ethernet cable in residence halls. According to Chapin, “RA’s have asked us to host social events in dorms, but we can’t because there’s no wireless internet.” Chapin said that the wi-fi access for consoles is currently in the works.

Trump places “America First” NOVEMBER 1, 2018 |
COLIN HORNING
Opinion Columnist
Last week, President Trump said to a crowd at a rally in Houston, Texas at the Toyota Center: “You know what I am? I’m a nationalist, okay? I’m a nationalist,” which prompted much outcry from his opponents on the left and in the mainstream American media. One of his most well-known critics, CNN’s Jim Acosta, has said that he thinks Trump is implying that he is actually a white nationalist. A USA Today article from Oct. 24 states “‘I am a nationalist’: Trump’s embrace of controversial label sparks uproar.” Stephen Colbert went on his late-night CBS show to say, “You know why you’re not supposed to use that word?
Because it’s the second half of ‘white nationalists.” What Trump said should come as no surprise to anyone who pays even the smallest bit of attention to the news. Ever since he began his campaign back in June of 2015, Trump has frequently stated that America needs to focus more on our problems here at home rather than fixing problems for other countries. In other words, the term “nationalist” is the idea that you are proud of your own country and culture, and the thought that your own nation takes priority over the needs of other nations, or as the well-known Trump phrase goes, “America First.” This is what Trump is talking about when he calls himself a nationalist. It’s another way for him to say he’s

proud of America and wants to focus on our best interest as a nation moving forward. Or, the idea that we need to fix our own problems here at home before we put other nations in front of America. The dominant media in America has hijacked the term “nationalist” and turned it into another term for racism and white nationalism. It’s sort of become a dirty word, and to see the President of the United States proudly call himself that sent shockwaves through his critics. However, Trump has done a lot more than just call himself a nationalist on TV and during campaign rallies: he’s actually done things as President to back up the term “America First.” All throughout his presidential campaign, he would speak
VOLUME 115, ISSUE 20
of things such as “unfair trade deals” and “trade deficits with China and other countries,” and he acted on these soon after being inaugurated. On Jan. 23 of 2017, three days after he became the president, Trump signed an executive order withdrawing the United States from the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), calling it a trade deal that will “increase our trade deficits and send even more jobs overseas” and saying “Great thing for the American worker, what we just did,” after his decision to withdraw. Similarly, Trump’s infamous tariffs on China and European countries was something else he talked about during the campaign. During a rally in
Pennsylvania in July of 2016, Trump said, “Any country that devalues their currency in order to take unfair advantage of the United States, which is many countries, will be met with sharply. And that includes tariffs and taxes.” In March of this year, Trump issued the first round of tariffs on China, specifically on steel and aluminum. None of these actions should come as a surprise to anyone following the news. These economic actions taken by the president were his way of calling himself a nationalist by putting America first. Trump hadn’t verbally stated that he was a nationalist, but by looking at his actions, it’s easy to tell what he meant: America comes first.
Using Snapchat as a tool to recruit voters Twitter and Reddit have all had links to the national voter registry to encourage people to vote. Snapchat had a similar idea. They partnered with a non-profit called Turbovote. We’re all familiar with Turbovote helps link users Snapchat; the wildly popular to the national voter register, app with the yellow ghost offers information about canicon that lets you take pictures didates, and sends reminders and send them your friends. to vote if you sign up for them.

majority of the registrations also came from battleground states like Texas, Georgia, Ohio, and Florida. Granted, there’s no guarantee all those people that registered will actually vote. Then again, why register just to not vote? Even if only half of the people Snapchat has helped register do end up voting, that could make a big difference in some states. Historically speaking, Americans, not just 18 to 24-year-olds, have been bad at turning out to vote. Only about 6 out of 10 voters casted a ballot in the 2016 election, which was decided by less than 100,000 votes. The last midterm election had only 4 out of 10 voters cast a ballot as well. According to NPR, in some states, the difference between who won the election was less than 5 percentage points. That’s probably why there’s been so many ads and campaigns to get people to vote. Truly, America has a significant problem with getting the general population to vote. Instead of having an election decided by the people as a whole, it’s decided by a small fraction of the population. Maybe that explains why so few people are pleased with our current government. The fact of the matter is that nothing will change if no one votes. No citation needed -- we can just look back over the course of a few years and see how that is true. Regardless of your political affiliation, it’s in
your best interest to vote and have your voice heard. We’ve all heard the same arguments used against this. “My vote doesn’t matter,” “There’s no point” and “I don’t know who to vote for.” These are at best, lazy arguments. According to Vox, 80 million people didn’t vote in the 2016 election. If all of those people would have voted, the election could have swung in a very different way. Because 80 million votes don’t matter, right? Then you have people that don’t know who to vote for. Fortunately, Google can easily solve this problem in less than 30 seconds. A quick google search can help anyone better understand what candidates might represent their values. Candidates running for political office have websites with their platforms on them for a reason. It’s easier than ever to
figure out what candidate you should vote for. Despite what people may think about their vote not being useful, the decisions our politicians make affect us a lot. So, you might as well try to at least try to help yourself. I think that’s what Snapchat was thinking. Perhaps it’s a bit overly optimistic to get excited about Snapchat helping people register, but a guy can dream, can’t he? Either way, I’m happy to see these tech companies like Snapchat stepping up the plate and trying to help society. They really having nothing to lose by helping. That’s also true about voting. It doesn’t hurt you and barely takes more than a few minutes. While we may have nothing to lose, we have everything to gain by voting.

Redford shines in ‘The Old Man & the Gun’ HUNTER FRIESEN Film Critic
Robert Redford has built a successful decade-spanning career as a charming actor who can play any type of character with a heart of gold. It seems fitting that in his final performance in the new film “The Old Man & the Gun,” Redford plays Forrest Tucker, a man born to rob banks. Except he’s not your typical bank robber. He’s the happiest and most polite criminal around. Now, at the age of 74, Tucker becomes nationally famous and must continue his passion while eluding the pursuit of detective John Hunt, who becomes enraptured by the legend of one man living his dream despite its possible consequences. Directing: 4/5 Director David Lowery isn’t a household name, but the 38-year-old has made some quality films such as the 2017 indie hit “A Ghost Story” and “Pete’s Dragon” in 2016 (also starring Redford). Lowery goes for the sweet and simple approach when it comes directing this film. He keeps the film feeling like a cool, light breeze with the main plot centered on one detail at a time. Lowery also nails the look and feel of the film to fit the 1980s setting. The film doesn’t just feel like it’s set in the 80s; it feels like it was made during that time peri-
od. The very grainy film stock used to shoot the movie makes it feel nostalgic. An abundance of classic songs from the era also fit the tone perfectly. However, Lowery’s simple approach has some minor drawbacks. The overall story of the film felt a little shallow and could have used more buildup and stakes in order to build suspense. There could have also been more interaction between characters in order to develop relationships — some don’t feel as genuine as they should. Writing: 3/5 Lowery adapts the screenplay from a real-life biographical article about Forrest Tucker written by David Grann and published in the “The New Yorker.” Lowery matches his writing with his approach to directing. The script is filled with tender moments that work wonders with the actors involved. The diner scenes between Tucker and Jewel are the best as they simply enjoy each other and talk about life in old age. With only a little bit of effort and some magic, the two actors and the dialogue they share are able to keep us engaged throughout. Below the surface, however, Lowery’s script suffers from the same problems as his directing. The overall story feels too simple to satisfyingly fit a feature-length film. More background and supporting details could have been used to tell the story
with more depth. Important events occur with little to no explanation, which proves to be very distracting in the end as they cut down on the overall believability. Acting: 4/5 Redford essentially plays a culmination of every part he’s previously played in his 50-plus-year career. He works magic with his confidence and overall physical presence in each scene. It’s a testament to his skill that you never actually see the gun he uses during the robberies; rather, his charisma and charm are the only weapons he needs. Even with all of Tucker’s misdoings, you end up rooting for him by the end of the film. Partnering up with Redford in a supporting role is Sissy Spacek as Jewel, a widow in whom Forrest takes an interest. Jewel finds herself romantically entangled with Tucker and just can’t seem to shake him off, despite knowing what he does for a living. Spacek and Redford have excellent chemistry together and keep viewers thoroughly entertained in even the most mundane of scenes. Every criminal needs a cop as a nemesis, and filling that role is Casey Affleck as John Hunt. Affleck counterbalances Redford’s playfulness as his character glumly deals with the thought of getting older in a static career. Affleck’s middling works throughout the film but never matches Redford’s ability to make us care about his character.
Overall: 3.5/5 “The Old Man & the Gun” is similar to a Sunday drive in the country. It doesn’t really know where it’s going from time to time, but it doesn’t really matter because the ride itself is more enjoyable than the final destination. In his
farewell performance, Redford shows us that he can win over any crowd. He rides out into the sunset and leaves us with his legend and unforgettable skill as an actor.
ple punch used to be called “Witch’s Potion” and some sugar cookies were “taken from Red Riding Hood after she died.” Bread bowls for soup were green in color. This entire creepy creation is made possible by Kerry Hopkins, food service supervisor in Piazza. Hopkins is also a local artist and owner of Midnight Creations in La Porte City. All of the decorations are donated by Hopkins. However,
he actually hand-makes a lot of the props that he brings into the dining center. “You don’t go a lot of places where somebody is making a mask — you can go buy a mask anywhere, but there’s not a lot of places you can go to see it sculpted, painted or all that stuff,” Hopkins said. “That’s what I like about it — making stuff. It was like a hobby that just grew, like anything.” The idea for the event first
began when Hopkins overheard Matt Copp, assistant manager, discussing plans to have someone come in and decorate for Halloween. “Well, you don’t need to get somebody,” Hopkins spoke up. “I’ll just bring some stuff.” Since its beginnings in 2012, the Piazza Halloween event — first coined “Nightmare in Piazza” three years ago — has grown in size solely because Hopkins brings in more and more decor each year.
“I brought stuff and nobody ever said to stop bringing stuff, so the first year it was smaller,” Hopkins said. “People liked it, so it’s grown into this.” This year’s Halloween setup was an Area 51/mad scientist spectacle. A photobooth wall was set up outside the main entrance, and zombie mannequins in Piazza coats were stationed just inside the main entrance, along with a mad scientist. Some of the employees were even wearing “blood-stained” Piazza coats while they worked. “Growing up, I really liked ‘Silent Hill’ and ‘Resident Evil’ and that stuff,” Hopkins said. “[The zombie mannequins] is just, like, right out of that kind of thing, because it’s fake. I don’t like real blood and real gore.” Hopkins said he doesn’t really have a plan when it comes to this project.

‘Spelling Bee’ play is heartwarming and hilarious SYDNEY HAUER
Executive Editor
Community members and students gathered in the Great Hall of Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center this past weekend for three showings of TheatreUNI’s latest production, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” directed by returning UNI alumna, Anne Healy. Set in a middle school gymnasium in a geographically ambiguous location, the show begins with the character of Rona Lisa Peretti, played by Erika Bailey, entering the auditorium carrying the trophy. She has a flashback to when she correctly spelled the word “syzygy” and won the third annual Putnam County spelling bee. It becomes clear that Peretti still very much lives in the glory of her own spelling bee days. Soon after, the colorfully clad spelling bee contestants, six neurotic, competitive and language-loving middle schoolers, are introduced one by one: Chip Tolentino, Logainne Schwar tzandg rubenierre, Leaf Coneybear, William Barfee, Marcy Park and Olive Ostrovsky. They join together to sing the title song, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” with great excitement for what is to come. In addition to the six main student participants, four random audience members were chosen to also participate in the bee, which

“I try to have an idea and it has failed me every single year,” Hopkins said. “I try to have an idea and try to get it done ahead of time. It always seems like I’m behind.” Hopkins brought in all ADRIANA MIENE/Northern Iowan
made for a different experience at each showing. They spelled their way through the production, hoping not to hear the notorious ding of the bell that would send them home with a juice box. Each of the six main characters were equipped with dynamic and eccentric personalities. Each one was given a moment in the spotlight with a monologue-like personal song, which contributed to the audience’s understanding of their individual personalities. Each story surrounding a character offered significant psychological and emotional complexity. This was an aspect of the show I was definitely not expecting, since it is a comedy musical. The characters possessed a great deal of depth, and that was a definite strength of the show. Another very positive aspect was that no one character pulled all of the weight — it was a job equally done by the entire cast. The character of Vice Principal Douglas Panch, played by freshman Sam Sweere, served as the word pronouncer for the spelling bee. When a spelling bee participant would ask for a definition or a sentence to elaborate on the given word, his answers were often ridiculous and completely unhelpful to the participant. Sweere masterfully delivered his dialogue in a deadpanned, monotonous way that was awarded uproaring laughter from the crowd each and every time. His
performance was definitely one of the most memorable. Senior theater major Jakob Reha played William Barfee, an adorable, sympathetic character with chronic health issues, a whole lot of allergies and a “magic foot” that helps him spell. Barfee was a part of a heartwarming subplot in which he becomes close friends with the character of Olive Ostrovsky, played be Zoe Sneed. The character of Ostrovsky does not have present parents or a supportive family life. Ostrovsky expresses how much this friendship means to her toward the end of the play, and due to her wonderful acting, it is a very beautiful moment. The character of Logainne Schwar tzandg rubenierre, played by Kennedy Keil, was another one of the most memorable performances. She is a politically outspoken, purple pantsuit-wearing firecracker. She is high strung, stressed out and supported by her two dads. She’s loud, assertive and perfectionistic. Keil was fabulous as Schwartzandgrubenierre. Chip Tolentino, played by Jake Senne, has an unfortunate experience involving sexual arousal after seeing another contestant’s sister, who was a random audience member with the spotlight on her. This incident forces him to lose the competition. Following this, he reluctantly takes his juice box, and reenters later selling concession stand items and sings the song “Chip’s
of the props and decorations on Saturday, Oct. 27; however, the decorations are not set up until after Piazza closes on Oct. 30 each year. “I never know how long it will take at night,” Hopkins said. “It would be nice if we finished before we open [for lunch].” “I’ve always liked
[Halloween] because it’s just fun,” he said. “If you don’t like it, then people don’t go to haunted houses and they don’t do that stuff, but most people seem to like it.” Many students have proven to be avid admirers of the annual event. “I think it’s awesome!”

Lament.” Really, all of the performances were memorable. Calli McCartan was great as Marcy Park, an uptight, religious overachiever who makes the sign of the cross after every turn and finally lets her hair down after accepting a loss. Thayne Lamb as Leaf Coneybear, a kid with no attention span who has to stare at a fidget spinner in order to get in the zone
enough to spell a word, was also very well-cast. Overall, the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee was delightful. With its short running time of 90 minutes, excellent cast of dynamic characters and a plentiful supply of laughs, it was one of the best Sunday afternoons I have spent in a long time. If you run across another production of this musical, I would highly recommend seeing it.
said sophomore art education major Ashley Coulter. “It’s a lot of fun,” agreed her sister, Kari Coulter, a senior majoring in business management. “I think it helps build more of a fun environment in the dining center.” Some students, however, weren’t as excited about the
event as others seemed to be. “The first year, my appetite went away when I was getting my food and I was like, ‘Oh, a severed head — this isn’t very appetizing,’” said one fourth-year student who wished to remain anonymous. Annie Karr, assistant director of residence marketing said, “It’s important to note, too, that we make sure in all of our materials leading up to [Nightmare in Piazza], that if this isn’t their thing, strobe lights are an issue for them, that we encourage them to go over to Rialto for a bit more lowkey experience.”

UNI continues to roll through the Valley JOEL WAUTERS

The UNI Panthers volleyball team put their undefeated record in Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) play to the test on Saturday, Oct. 27 as they hosted the Loyola-Chicago Ramblers at the McLeod Center. After taking down the Valparaiso Crusaders a night earlier in a five-set thriller, the Panthers looked to continue their hot streak in the MVC and attempt to move to 12-0 in the conference. Loyola got out to a quick start, scoring the first few points of the opening set before the UNI attack took effect. After tying the set at eight points apiece, the Panthers ran away with a strong attack and an 82 percent accuracy. Jaydlin Seehase led the Panthers with seven kills, while Baylee Petersen, starting in place of the injured Katie Taylor, recorded 10 digs. UNI took the first frame 25-16.

With six matches to go in conference play, the Panthers still sit undefeated at 12-0 in Missouri Valley Conference action as the regular season nears its end.
In the second, the Ramblers once again jumped in front quickly. Loyola’s Delilah Wolf helped set up the visiting attack with 17 assists as Morgan Gresham notched five kills. But in the middle of the set, the
Panthers defense stiffened as UNI began to climb back into the match to tie the set at 19. The two conference opponents swapped points back-and-forth, but it was the Panthers who prevailed in the second set, 28-26.
The Panthers picked up where they left off in the third set as they quickly ran up the score to 7-3 in their favor. From there, the purple and gold never looked back as they blazed across the finish line to take the set 25-17 and
finish off the Ramblers in a clean sweep. Piper Thomas led the Panthers with 18 kills, as Rachel Koop recorded 42 assists. Petersen finished the night with 14 digs and both Abbi Staack and Taylor Hedges completed two ace serves. “We grew a ton this weekend,” said UNI head coach Bobbi Petersen. “It really forced some people to get out of their comfort zones.” Coach Petersen also commented on Taylor’s injury earlier in the week from practice, describing it as a “non-season ending injury.” “We’re hoping to get her back as soon as possible,” Petersen said. “I have trust in our athletic training staff.” The Panthers (18-7) will hit the road this weekend for a doubleheader against the Bradley Braves and Illinois State Redbirds on Nov. 2-3. UNI will return home for their final homestand of the year on Nov. 9 as they host the Missouri State Bears.
CROSS COUNTRY
Khat and Cole lead UNI to fifth place at MVC meet FRANK WALSH Sports Writer
The UNI cross country teams are determined to strive for greatness. The Panthers’ endurance was put to the test at the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) championship meet on Saturday, Oct. 27 in Peoria, IL. The Panthers were able to
place fifth in both the men’s and women’s competitions. On the men’s side, Wal Khat, a junior from Mooseheart, IL, placed eighth. “I enjoy cross country because it keeps me in great shape and it is a great lifestyle,” said Khat. He ran a 24:24.20 and was named to the all-conference team for his performance.
Alex Jackson finished behind Khat in 26th place with a time of 25:20.40. CJ May clocked in with a 25:39.80 for 30th place, as Drake Henrichs ran a 25:50.70 for 37th and Logan Murray finished just behind Henrichs in 38th place with a 25:53.50. “I gave my best effort in Peoria and overall everyone on the team put forth their best
effort as well,” Khat said. “I am very proud of my teammates CJ (May), Alex (Jackson), Drake (Henrichs) and Logan (Murray) because they did a phenomenal job as well.” On the women’s side, sophomore McKayla Cole also had a good finish in 12th place, clocking in with a time of 17:45.40. Cole was able to capitalize her great
performance with an honorable mention from the MVC. Gabby Champion finished 46 seconds behind her to take 19th place. Tess Roorda followed her just a few seconds after in 23rd, while Alyssa Williams finished with a time of 18:18.70 for 27th. Gabby Skopec rounded out the top five for UNI with a 18:24.90 in 30th place.
