An advanced interpersonal communication course at the University of Northern Iowan will be hosting a performance as their final called “Inter’ception.” Led by Communication Studies instructor Nikki Harken-Zumbach, the Inter’ception performance has been completely prepared by members of the advanced interpersonal course, said Madison Twedt, senior communication major and one of the publicity cordinators of Inter’ception. “Inter’ception takes place at two of our characters’ . . . wedding reception. During the performance you will see many different relationships, interactions, secrets and conflicts between characters unfold,” said Twedt. Harken-Zumbach created the idea to host an interpersonal performance incorporating theories from the
advanced interpersonal textbook. The inspiration came from a show on Netflix, “Mixology,” where twenty strangers meet at a bar and the single-season show goes through all their interactions, conflicts and relationships, said Twedt. Throughout the course of fall semester, the class collectively developed characters, created a script and appointed parts such as actors, stage
directors and managers, publicity costume, hair and make-up and set crew. The class worked individually as well as in teams to create characters, a setting and a script. The work will be developed into a full production that they will perform in front of an audience Thursday, Dec. 18 at noon in Lang Hall’s Interpreter’s Theater. See INTERCEPTION, page 7

With the temperature dropping rapidly, many University of Northern Iowa students are trying to improvise parking spots wherever they can to reduce the amount of time they spend outside on their commute to classes. One of those improvised parking spots is located between Lang Hall and President Ruud’s home.
Many have heard that while merry bells keep ringing, may your every wish come true. Though members of the UNI Clarinet Ensemble do much more than ring bells, they still spread the same message as Bing Crosby while wishing happy holidays to all.
