With the end of the spring semester fast approaching, along with registration for the fall 2021 semester, many returning and incoming UNI students may question how classes will look in the upcoming school year. UNI President Mark Nook released a statement on Thursday, March 11 indicating that the fall semester would include a “return to the high-quality, in-person education we are known for.” “While we will maintain some of our classroom safety measures, the shift back to in-person classes and operations this fall will include increased capacity in our classrooms, dining centers, and common spaces; the reopening of our retail dining operations; and a return of on-campus events,” Nook wrote. According to Patrick Pease, Associate Provost of Academic Affairs, one of the classroom
safety measures that will be maintained is reduced capacity. During the fall 2021 semester, in-person classes will be capped at a 50% capacity. “Essentially, we are skipping every other chair,” Pease wrote in an email to the Northern Iowan. “We had to make this decision back in late December, so we chose to take a conservative approach, and chose not to return immediately to side-byside seating; the 50% capacity allows us to return to our preCOVID-19 levels of in-person classes, but still provides a measure of safety and peace of mind for our community.” For the spring 2021 semester, classrooms were reduced to 35% capacity, a slight reduction from the 40% used as a guide for in-person classes in fall 2020. Pease indicated that decisions about which fall 2021 classes will be offered in-person, hybrid or online will be largely made by individual departments. Faculty and department heads will decide based “primarily on program
design and student needs.” “For example, we have several fully or partially online programs which require online delivery of content,” he wrote. “We also try to have a select offering of common classes, both in the Liberal Arts Core and in majors, available for students who need to supplement face-to-face instruction with online to manage other time commitments.” The university’s 50% capacity guidelines will continue to restrict in-person offerings for larger courses; Pease wrote that any course with enrollment of over 150 students will not be able to be held fully face-to-face. “Fortunately, UNI offers very few classes that large anyway, so the impact will be minimal,” he wrote. The balance of online and in-person classes may be returning to a more pre-pandemic level, but some changes, such as the hybrid class format, may persist even beyond the pandemic.

The game was a matchup of two FCS top-25 teams as UNI was ranked third in the country and Illinois State was ranked 15th.

three minutes on a six-play drive to take the lead 7-0. Quarterback Will MacElvain ran it in from 11 yards out, and kicker Matthew Cook hit the extra point to seal the 7-0 lead. The Panthers then stopped the Redbirds on defense to retake possession of the ball, which again led to points on the board. The eight-play, 50 yard drive ended in a Cook 43-yard field goal to put UNI up 10-0 early on. The Redbirds came marching back on the next possession, however. They went on a 14 play, 49 yards drive that took over seven minutes of time up off the clock, but in the end the Panther defense held, forcing Illinois State to settle for a 43-yard field goal by kicker Aidan Bresnahan, cutting into the UNI lead at 10-3. Both teams traded punts for a few possessions before Illinois State’s
Kenton Wilhoit intercepted McElvain’s pass and ran it back to the end zone with a little over two minutes left to play. The Illinois State University pick-six knotted up the score at 10, which would be the score as both teams headed into the locker room for halftime. The third quarter saw no points put up by either team as the score remained tied at 10 going into the final quarter of play. UNI’s first possession of the fourth got the ball moving. Following a seven-play, 60 yard drive that took about three minutes, the Panthers took the lead with a long 44-yard field goal from Cook to go up by a score of 13-10. UNI would not look back after taking that lead. The Redbirds had no answer for UNI’s elite defense and they didn’t score the rest of the game.

Instructional breaks at Iowa, not UNI ELIZABETH KELSEY News Editor
As the weather warms and the semester reaches the halfway point, some UNI students are keenly feeling the absence of spring break. The university announced last September that spring break would be eliminated as part of the ongoing campus effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The condensed semester, starting in late January and running for 14 weeks straight, is already taking a toll on students like Sofia Lence, a senior elementary education major. “In other years, it kind of just would gradually get to be a lot, but this semester, I think because we started so late, it just feels more (intense),” she said. Kerrigan Mentzer, a thirdyear TESOL-teaching major, agreed. “I’m at the point where even just a day, I think, would be nice. Just some time off would
be beneficial, just because I feel like I’m constantly ‘go-gogo’ all the time,” she said. “Even just one day to sleep in
and not have to worry about class would be really nice.” In fact, students at the University of Iowa are getting

With no spring break, some UNI students are feeling the strain of a condensed semester and wishing for “instructional break” days like those being offered at the University of Iowa this spring.
exactly that — not just once, but twice. The university implemented two “instructional break” days, one last Tuesday, March 2 and one on Wednesday, April 14. No classes are being held on these days, and students are encouraged to use the time to ensure they understand course material, according to the Daily Iowan, the University of Iowa’s campus newspaper. The breaks were proposed as “mental-health days” by Iowa’s Undergraduate Student Government (USG) in September 2020 after the university announced it was cancelling spring break. The Iowa administration announced their addition to the spring calendar in early November. UNI and Iowa State, Iowa’s other two public universities, have no such instructional breaks throughout the condensed semester. UNI’s Associate Provost for Academic Affairs Patrick
Pease explained in an email to the Northern Iowan that although the three universities are part of the same system, they set their academic calendars independently. “Each of the regent’s universities can have their own calendar, but we all must have our calendars approved by the Board of Regents office. That is true under normal circumstances, and we had to have approval to make the emergency changes enacted this year,” he wrote. “While campuses have some individual discretion, we still must meet guidelines regarding instructional meeting time which are laid out by the Federal Government (sic) and our accrediting agency, the Higher Learning Commission. In shortening our semester to accommodate the later start date, we were careful to stay within those guidelines and we believe the schedule we created does that.” See BREAKS, page 4
COVID-19 on campus: low rates hold steady The prevalence of COVID-19 on the UNI campus remained low last week, with only a very slight increase in the campus positivity rate. According to data released Friday, March 5 at noon, the 71 tests conducted from March 1-7 through the Student Health Center resulted in six positive cases, for an 8.45% campus positivity rate. This is an increase of less than 2% from last week’s rate of 6.98%. Furthermore, the positivity rate may decrease slightly today when the Student Health Center updates last week’s data to include any tests conducted on Friday. Since the end-of-week
updates only include data collected through Thursday, Friday numbers are added to the weekly total by noon on the following Monday and are therefore not included in the NI’s weekly analysis. The university also reported seven self-reported cases of COVID-19 from March 1-5, two from employees and five from students. However, these self-reported cases may also be counted in the Student Health Center weekly totals and therefore, the numbers cannot be combined for a grand total. In other local COVID-19 related news last week, the city of Cedar Falls renewed its mask mandate through April 7. Waterloo’s mask mandate continues to remain in effect indefinitely, and UNI continues to require masks on campus as well.

President Joe Biden has announced a new Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona. Miguel Cardona previously served as the Connecticut school’s chief and will now serve the United States on education topics and issues. Cardona also was an elementary school teacher and served as a principal in his district. He was even named a top educator in the kindergarten through high school as well! Cardona will replace the current secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, who was in charge of education during former President Trump’s presidency. Several people, including the National Education Association President Becky Pringle and the Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal, have made statements in support of Cardona and President Biden’s choice and have high hopes for the future of education in our nation. One of Cardona’s goals is to help President Joe Biden’s plan to reopen schools during the global pandemic of COVID-19. They believe that they can reach a point in the coming months where the vac-
cine can be distributed to everyone and return to the regular classroom, while still maintaining social distancing, wearing masks and washing our hands. Many Americans are still worried about the pandemic, and others feel that this will be a workable solution for the next coming scholastic year. Cardona is also big into helping bilingual students reach their full potential by providing support and instruction that will benefit them in the long run. He has been a strong advocate for students and will continue to provide and secure a solid foundation for the future of education. The University of Northern Iowa is also making great strides to bring back all students to fully in-person classes starting the fall of 2021. This semester, we have seen a mix of in-person, hybrid and online learning to acclimate to the pandemic. It appears to have been a very successful implementation of hybrid learning and in-person instruction as we now have the steps to ensure that our Panthers can continue to attend the in-person classes while preparing for the next semester of fully in-person learning.

students to keep track of their symptoms daily as they prepare for school and this way they can make the choice to either attend via Zoom or attend the class. UNI President Mark Nook stated recently in an email that “While we
will maintain some of our classroom safety measures, the shift back to in-person classes and operations this fall will include increased capacity in our classrooms, dining centers, and common spaces; the reopening of our retail dining operations;
and a return of on-campus events.” Fall semester 2021 should bring ample opportunities for in-person learning and exciting possibilities for our Panthers!

“Before COVID-19, that was a rarely used format,” Pease wrote. “We significantly increased the number of hybrid classes during the past year to help manage the reduction in classroom capacities, but some faculty and students have found that it can work well for certain types of classes. Like online delivery, the choice to use a hybrid meeting pattern will be up to departments and faculty based on their course content and teaching style.” Registration for fall 2021 classes begins March 29 for seniors (those with 90 credits or more).

Gallery of Art hosting virtual exhibit ANTHONY WITHEROW
Campus Life Editor
The UNI Gallery of Art is currently presenting their online design exhibition with the help of middle and high school students throughout Iowa. Titled, “Structure, Invention and Surprise/ Explorations of Pattern by Secondary Students: The Elena Diane Curris Biennial Design Exhibition,” the display is available for all to view on the gallery’s website and will be available until March 29. The exhibition was curated by Assistant Professor of Art Education Samantha Goss and conceptualized with Emeritus Professor of Graphic Design Phil Fass. Goss organized the event in the fall of 2020 by giving art teachers throughout Iowa an entry
form. The teachers were also given materials they could use to introduce their students to patterns and teach them how they can be used and how they are inspired. “When considering possible themes for this call, it became apparent that pattern could be very interesting but posed unique challenges for this age group and current context,” said Goss in a statement to UNI. “Pattern is something we all recognize and know, but there are significant varieties and depths of pattern that are not often in the forefront of our mind in secondary level art education.” The webpage hosts 48 accepted pieces of artwork from students who looked to put their own perspective on pattern. Underneath each piece is information about the artist, the name of their art
teacher and what inspired them to create the piece. The series began in 2018 and is named after the late Elena Diane Curris. Curris received her Associate of Arts degree from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Alabama. She went on to attend the UNI Price Laboratory School while her father was president of the university. Curris developed a love of design throughout her life. The idea of the exhibition was first proposed by Curris’s parents Constantine and Jo. The long-term support for the series was made possible by funding from Curris’ family to help promote graphic design education Anthony Witherow/Northern Iowan at UNI. The UNI Gallery of Art is hosting a virtual design exhibit throughout the month of March.

MBB season cut short in St. Louis COLIN HORNING
Sports Editor
The 2021 Missouri Valley Conference men’s basketball tournament tipped off on Thursday, March 4 at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Mo. with UNI matched up in their first-round contest with Illinois State. The two teams had met the previous weekend in Normal, Ill. for their final two games of the regular season, with UNI winning both contests. Playing for the third time in six days, the Redbirds and Panthers were more than familiar with each other’s playing style, as evident by the hard-fought, grind-it-out game that took place on Thursday night in St. Louis. Following 11 lead changes and 14 ties in the score, the Panthers eventually edged out a 65-60 victory to advance to the quarterfinals. Illinois State had a slight control in the game in the first half and led for much of the first 20 minutes of play, opening up a lead by as much as seven points before UNI narrowed it down to a 30-29 lead at the break. Both teams shot an even per-

centage from the floor in the first half, with the Redbirds making 13-28 shots and the Panthers hitting 12-27 shots taken. The back-and-forth battle between the two MVC rivals persisted in the second half, as neither team could
open up a lead larger than five points for the majority of the remaining time. Clinging to a four-point lead at 62-58 with under one minute to go, senior Trae Berhow knocked down a three-pointer from the top of the key to extend the
Panther lead to 65-58, effectively sealing the game. Junior Austin Phyfe was phenomenal for the Purple & Gold, leading the team in scoring with 21 points on 9-14 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and two steals.
Senior Tywhon Pickford also had a solid game, scoring 11 points and making five of his six shots from the field, along with nine rebounds and three steals of his own. Dusan Mahorcic led Illinois State in scoring with 15 points. Both teams fared well on the interior for the game as each team looked to their big men to score. UNI scored 38 points in the paint, with Illinois State scoring 32 points in the paint. Both teams struggled shooting from three in the game. The Panthers only hit four of 21 shots from beyond the arc and their opponents only hit four out of 23 taken. With the victory in the first round, UNI advanced to Friday to take on the number-two seeded Drake. However, just before the game was scheduled to tip off, it was announced that due to COVID-19 complication within the UNI program that the game would not be played, ending the season for UNI and advancing Drake to the semi finals. The Panthers ended the season with a 10-15 record.

Panthers split series vs Indiana State DAVID WARRINGTON

On Sunday, Feb. 28 and Monday, March 1, the UNI volleyball team welcomed the Sycamores of Indiana State to the McLeod Center for a pair of Missouri Valley Conference matches. The Panthers entered the series with a record of 5-6 on the season, while the Sycamores came in with a record of 4-7. The Panthers managed to split the two matches, falling in five sets the first time before bouncing back for a four-set victory in the rematch. Early on in the opening set of match number one, the two teams went back and forth with very little separation.

With the Panthers holding a slim 12-11 lead, they went on an 8-0 run and cruised the rest of the way, winning the set 25-15, and taking a 1-0 lead in the match. The second set was a similar story, with both teams seemingly unwilling to give their opponent the upper hand. However, with the score tied 17-17, the Panthers took over, scoring eight of the last nine points to win the set 25-18. Needing a set win to stay alive, the Sycamores came out strong, winning five of the first six points in set number three. UNI did what they could to stick around, but Indiana State had the edge throughout the set, winning 25-16.
In similar fashion to the first two sets, there was very little separation between the teams throughout much of the fourth set. With the set tied at 13-13, the Sycamores went on a 12-3 run to finish the set with a 25-16 victory and force a decisive fifth set. The Panthers had a tough time sticking with their opponents in the fifth set, falling behind 7-1 and never recovering, ultimately losing the set 15-5, as well as the match, 3-2. Freshman Tayler Alden had a nice game for UNI, finishing with a team-high 44 assists as well as matching the team best with 21 digs. Baylee Petersen also managed 21 digs in the match. Junior

Inga Rotto led the Panthers in kills with 14. The teams were back at the McLeod Center for a rematch just 24 hours later, and the first set was a story of runs. As soon as one team scored a few points in a row and looked like they were going to pull away, the other team would respond with a run of their own. Ultimately, the Panthers were able to put together enough runs to win the set 25-19 and take a 1-0 lead. The second set was more of the same, with mini runs coming frequently. Ultimately, the Sycamores got the upper hand in this one, winning 25-20 to tie the match at 1-1. UNI came out hot in the third set, opening with a 12-3
run to firmly take the momentum. Indiana State would do what they could, but the Panthers wound up victorious, 25-16. Needing just one more set for a match victory, UNI got the upper hand in set number four, winning 25-16 to take the match, 3-1. Alden was once again the leader in assists, finishing with 39. Emily Holterhaus had a team-high 17 kills, and Petersen led the Panthers with 18 digs. With the series split, the Panthers move to 6-7 on the season. They were originally scheduled to play Illinois State on March 7 and 8, but those games have been postponed. They are now scheduled to play Depaul on Sunday, March 7.
