This Saturday, April 22, the Textiles and Apparel (TAPP) department will be showcasing their annual fashion show at Lang Hall Auditorium from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. This year marks the department’s 25th year with the event, and the theme is “Around the World in 60 Minutes.” The show is free and open to the public.

The doors open at 6:30 p.m.,

and the evening will begin with a pre-show, which will focus on what has been happening within the TAPP department throughout the year. Alumni will also be recognized at that time in order to share how they are using their major, as well as offer advice and encouragement. “[In Iowa] it’s hard to be successful in this industry,” said Madi Luke, graphic design and TAPP double major who is serving as the promotion director for Saturday’s show.

For Luke, as well as the rest of the promotion team, seeing the alumni is an encouraging time for students who are unsure of the future.

“You can be successful in this major,” Luke said.

At 7 p.m., the actual runway show will begin. The show will be divided into three different sections: Japan, Egypt and Paris.

“We have Japan, which is what is set aside for nontraditional, and those are the pieces that are more unique,” Luke

said. “Then there’s Egypt, which is more streetwear, casual, everyday fashion. Then we have Paris, which is formal wear. It’s a wide variety.”

Leading up to the show, there are several committees that meet and plan for the event.

A few include the stage committee, promotion committee and a model committee, which is in charge of organizing models to wear the products for the show.

“That [committee] would probably be the most challeng-

Missouri Valley Conference (MVC), one game behind Illinois State. Cedar Falls continues to be the team’s preferred venue, as they are now 12-3 at home, after sweeping Bradley University last weekend in a three game series.

The first half of Friday’s double header proved to be a tightly contested defensive affair. Freshman Jaci

Spencer only allowed four hits and, besides a bases loaded scenario in the first for UNI, neither team posed many offensive threats.

The lone score of the game came in the bottom of the seventh. Junior Kennedy Bailey reached on a single, and sophomore Courtney Krodinger came into a pinch run and stole second.

Freshman Tiana Drahn hit

a sacrifice bunt (sac-bunt) that advanced the runner to third, also setting up Brittney Krodinger, who hit a walk-off double, with a final score of 1-0.

The second game went much the same as the first, minus late game suspense.

ing, just because the models are not getting paid, and it’s all volunteer work,” said Abby Burds, junior TAPP major and budget director for the show.

Luke echoes that struggle.

“We have 70 pieces in the show this year, and recruiting models is so hard,” Luke said.

“The designers don’t make the clothes for people already in mind; they just make them, and you have to find somebody to fit into it. That’s really difficult.”  See TAPP, page 2

The Northern Iowa softball team left the RobinsonDresser Sports Complex behind this last weekend and spent some time in the UNIDome. The change of scenery was just what the doctor ordered, as the Panthers reached second place in the

Buchannan currently holds a team best 9-1 record and 1.75 ERA. This game had all of its runs come in one inning, all of which appeared during the fourth inning.

Senior Macey Wolfe singled to start the inning, which was preceded by a double from Bailey.

House, Senate ban 20-week abortions ISAAK ESPERSEN Staff Writer

The subject of abortions has always been a hot topic in the United States, but this past Tuesday it hit a little closer to home with the Iowa Senate passing Senate File 471, voting to ban abortions after 20 weeks into a pregnancy. The bill was passed by the Iowa House last week, and the bill will now be sent to Governor Terry Branstad’s desk for a final signature.

Senate File 471 passed 30-20 with all yea votes coming from Republicans including one independent.

This bill also establishes a 72-hour waiting period for all abortions.

For some women on campus, f inding somewhere that will give the necessary information when such decisions have to be made can already pose a challenge.

In addition, the cost of having to go to the doctor so many times can be

According to Luke, the TAPP department invests considerable time and effort into their final fashion show.

“We’re in an actual class to produce the show,” Luke said. “We get credit for

“It’s not enough to take a day off; often, you have to take two days, maybe three days that same week just to go to the clinic,” Nett said.

Others think that completely outlawing abortion would be a move in the right direction for the Iowa Legislature. A sophomore social work major at UNI who requested anonymity echoed this mindset when discussing the legislation.

“It’s really cool that the government it finally stepping in and saying that it’s illegal at a certain point,” she said.

The student said she thought it was nice to finally see the state legislature take a step towards outlawing the practice of abortion.

“That’s really late into the pregnancy,” she said on 20-week abortions. “At

that point, it’s beyond a cluster of cells, and it ’s actually developing.” She said she sees no reason why it should be legal.

UNI Right to Life President Estere Tremaine and Treasurer Ryleigh Hancox addressed the abortion ban in a written response. “ We hope this ban sets TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE up a good platSenate File 471 has passed the Iowa House and Senate and now heads to Governor Terry form to conBranstad’s desk to be signed into law. tinue to make progress on this MacGillivray, head of to our sister citizens,” issue and bring awareness the Women’s and Gender MacGillivray said. to the topic,” Tremaine and Studies program at UNI, According to a 2013 study Hancox wrote. “The loss of denying women the choice by the Centers for Disease human life is always trag- when it comes to late-term Control and Prevention, 92 ic, and our organization abortion is unacceptable. percent of abortions happen believes that it is important “To deny these women within the first 12 weeks, to be the voice for the voice- that very difficult choice, and only 1.2 percent occur less and protect the defense- when they are already fac- at or after 21 weeks. less.” ing this cruel dilemma — I According to Catherine think it is very inhumane

Larin Gordon, a senior communication studies major, who serves on the event’s promotion committee. She explained the event’s importance in relation to the

“Essentially, it’s like the final,” Gordon said. “It’s what we work the entire semester towards.”

“Our major is unique because we actually learn about the textiles [and] structure of the fabric,” Luke said.

“We learn the science behind it,” said Taylor Pingel, a senior communication studies and TAPP double major, who is also on the promotion committee.

This isn’t the case for every TAPP department at other colleges. Learning these things is an important part leading up to the show, as the students must design their own fashion line for the event.

Many students within the TAPP department are optimistic and have a vision for the future of their department. Previously, within the

Trump admin. should tread lightly Syrian regime targets.

Soon afterwards, the US dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in their arsenal, the so-called “Mother of All Bombs,” on ISIS targets in Afghanistan. Additionally, the US and North Korea have recently seen tensions escalate, with North Korea testing a missile launch and Vice President Pence telling North Korea “the sword stands ready” if need be.

The events underline the

dangerous and unpredictable world we live in today, and, strangely enough, Donald Trump will be the man leading America through these times. Trump must be careful to not repeat the mistakes of America’s past, and must Throughout the past coube careful to not be overple weeks, President Trump ly aggressive — something and his administration have few people will put past the shaken up American foreign Tweeter-in-Chief. policy.

The initial strike was justified; the use of chemical weapons is a heinous crime that America has warned the Assad regime about in the past, which cannot be tolerated.

However, what is not justified is a long-term American war in Syria.

M a n y Americans TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE remember the The Trump administration recently fired 59 Tomahawk missiles against Syrian targets, as disaster that well as dropped the largest non-nuclear bomb in their arsenal on ISIS targets in Afghanistan. was the Iraq

War — invading a country that didn’t attack us for questionable reasons, killing thousands of Iraqi civilians and destabilizing Iraq enough to leave an opening for a group like the Islamic State to take large swaths of Iraqi territory.

It is much more difficult to win hearts and minds when you tear down homes and recklessly kill or injure friends and family.

Not only was the war a disaster, but it cost the US over $2 trillion. That is enough to pay for almost 30,000 full-rides to UNI. It is vital America learn lessons from the past, and not get caught up in yet another Middle-East quagmire.

Not long after the missile strike, the US dropped the “Mother of All Bombs” on an ISIS target in Afghanistan, a country in which the US has

waged war for 16 years. The Pentagon reports that about 96 ISIS fighters were killed in the bombing, but has been reluctant to release any information about potential civilian casualties or collateral damage and has not allowed anybody to see the bombing site — not a good sign.

The bombing represents a reckless trend in the Trump administration of increasingly disregarding civilians in military operations. The New York Times reported last week that the number of civilian causalities increased from 1,782 in February to 3,471 in March. Ignoring civilians in these conflicts risks further increasing anti-American sentiment and making the situation even worse.

It is much more difficult to win hearts and minds when you tear down homes and recklessly kill or injure friends and family.

The Middle East is a messy, complicated situation, and the new president must be very cautious and carefully think through his decisions to avoid another disastrous war in the Middle East.

Guest column: Protecting yourself as a renter Editor’s note: Iowa Legal Aid is a statewide nonprofit organization that provides legal help to low-income, elderly and disabled Iowans. Cara Strike, of Iowa Legal Aid, pens a column explaining how students can protect their rental deposits.

As seniors are all too aware, the final days of the school year are quickly upon us. For the soon to be graduates, that means the wonderful push into the “adultworld” as you are perusing the help-wanted ads.

For students returning next year, this means solidifying your summer plans.

No one wants to go through the stress of being told that on top of everything, their security deposit is not being refunded.

Let’s face it, sometimes inevitable damage to a rental property occurs. However, there are many simple steps that you can take to help protect your rental deposit.

Some of these ideas may seem a bit excessive.

For most of you, they will be unnecessary. But in the event that an incident does occur, going through these steps may save you a lot of time, energy and,

most importantly, money!

Move-in tips: • Rather than being assigned the culprit of any damage, make a list of any issues with the property that are already there when you move in.

• This list should be made as you are moving in, or before. Problems can be more than a ding in the wall or a broken window blind. They can also include stains in the carpet or a door that will not close properly.

If possible, your landlord should help you make the list. It is also a good idea to bring a friend along and snap a few pictures.

• After your list is finalized, you and your landlord should each sign it. Each of you should keep a copy.

• When you pay your security deposit, be sure to keep the receipt. The receipt should indicate that it is for a rental deposit, and it should say the amount and date of when it was received.

What if something happens while you’re living there?

• Take a deep breath. Then tell the landlord about the damage right away — in

writing! The cause of the damages should be explained.

Remember that the tenant is responsible only if the tenant or the tenant’s guest is somehow at fault.

Move-out day: • Give the proper notice when you want to move out and keep a copy of it for your records.

• Put the place back in shape. This means removing trash and leaving the property in the same or better condition than when you moved in.

• Arrange a meeting with your landlord when you move out. Go through the checklist that you made when you moved into the property. Try to determine what expenses (if any) you will be charged for (this may include cleaning fees or damage repair). Asking these questions may put you in a position to fix the damage before moving out — ultimately saving you some cash.

• If your landlord can state no reason for keeping part or all of your deposit, ask to get your deposit back during this meeting.

• Take pictures of the unit before you leave. In most

cases, a picture is worth 1,000 words.

• When you move out, give your landlord an updated mailing address — in writing! Keep a dated copy of your notice of address change. If no mailing address is given to the landlord within one year, the tenant loses the right to get any of their deposit back.

• Keep in mind that the landlord must return the tenant’s security deposit and/or give an itemization of damages within 30-days after the tenant has moved out and given a forwarding address.

The steps that you can take to best protect yourself are often the most simple.

Document everything that you do in writing. This can be by email, text or letter (however, please be aware that official notices such as a notice terminating tenancy must be delivered properly).

Having more proof than “my landlord told me…” holds much more weight if any issues come up in the future. Communicate clearly, calmly and kindly with your landlord if any issues do arise. And try to be a good neighbor! We’re all in this

together.

Anyone with landlord/ tenant law questions should seek an attorney for advice.

The laws about security deposits in the residential landlord/tenant context are found at Section 562A.12, Code of Iowa.

Graduating students exhibit artwork SYDNEY HAUER Staff Writer

This Monday, four Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) students will have their first experience of installing their artwork in professional spaces.

The BFA group exhibition, presented by the UNI Gallery of Art opens April 24, at 7 p.m. The exhibition will be on view until Saturday, May 6.

The opening reception will take place in the south lobby of the Kamerick Art Building.

The exhibition happens at the end of every semester and features artwork by the BFA students who are graduating at that time. There will be four students in this semester’s show, each working in their own medium.

BFA students continue to work on the artwork that they will be presenting in the show, often until the last minute.

They hand it over to Darrell Taylor, the director of the UNI

He said the gallery is a place where BFA students have the opportunity to install their first shows in a professional space.

a BFA in painting, as well as a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Art Education.

“I would say that my work is primarily centered around the idea of transformation between girlhood and womanhood and that sort of in-between stage that no one really knows how to navigate very well,” Heddens said. “A lot of it has to do with my internal psyche and experiences I’ve had — experiences from my childhood and stuff like that.”

Heddens said she is still in the process of creating some of the artwork that will be in the show.

Dallas Guffey will graduate with a BFA in sculpture. His portion of the show is titled “False Fractures and Synthetic Situations.” His work employs printmaking and woodworking techniques, while mixing architecture with playful narratives.

Madalyn Loring will be receiving her BFA in ceramics, as well as a B.A. in art education. Her body of work is titled “Released.” It explores the abstract relationships of many types of ceramic forms.

“My ceramic sculptures explore abstract relationships through organic, textural and non-representative ceramic forms derived from nature,” Loring said. “I developed my

own red earthenware clay body and glazes to create my sculptures. I am very thankful for the time spent at the Department of Art and for the instruction of Professor JoAnn Schnabel, who taught me how to develop my own voice in clay.”

Timothy Jorgensen is a sculptor originally from Cedar Falls, and the work he will be showing is titled “Contention.”

It focuses on nature and the phenomena of the natural world.

“The human manipulation of nature can be seen anywhere you go, such as agricultural practices, urban landscapes, river dams and deforestation,” Jorgensen explained. “The work I create explores these attempts to control nature. I develop pseudo-medical devices to repair organic forms and

Taylor assured that students and community members in attendance can expect a professional exhibition. He believes that the purpose of the UNI Gallery of Art is to serve as that kind of space for gallery-goers to come and experience professionally installed exhibitions.

“I think it’s important for students to attend to see what the current practice is out in the art world and to see what senior students are thinking,” Taylor said.

“It’s just a really good way to support the university and

support students,” Heddens said. “I feel like when students are in our position and are graduating and going into the world — having people come and see the work, especially on the opening night, makes us feel like we’re doing something right and that we’re on the right path. But I think arts are important for everyone to experience.”

According to MacGillivray, what many women find troubling is that statistics say that most people don’t get abortions 20 weeks into their pregnancy and that the ones who do are usually faced with a “terrible decision.”

MacGillivray explained that when a woman must

look at a 20-week abortion, it is not merely because she does not want to have a child, but because this is the final option. In effect, it is a terrible decision that could be taken away from many women if this bill does get signed into law.

“I would suffer greatly, as I think most people would,” MacGillivray said. “And I hope to never be faced with such a decision.”

FILM REVIEW

Go in ‘style,’ leave in disappointment JOSHUA ROUSE

Film Critic

When senior citizen Joe is at the bank dealing with inflated mortgage payments and other hidden fees, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of a bank robbery.

This experience gives him the idea to rob the bank himself in order to fix his financial problems. With his lifelong friends Will and Al — each with their own money troubles — the threesome cook up

a scheme to steal back their rightfully-owed pension funds.

Facing the limits of old age and the risk of jail, the friends are determined to have one last adventure together that will end with them “Going in Style.”

Directing: 2/5 This 2017 film is actually a remake of the 1979 film of the same name and mostly same premise. Director Zach Braff does an excellent job of updating this crime caper to current day, albeit leaving behind some

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

The new heist comedy film “Going in Style,” starring Alan Arkin, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, currently carries a 47 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

of the more central and touching themes of the original.

With an eye for comedy, Braff sets up scenes and the overall tone of the film to be a safe, light-hearted venture about three elderly friends attempting to right the wrongs that have been done to them.

“Going in Style” is a simple premise with simple execution. This both helps and hinders the film. The realistic and down-to-earth setting and plotlines (as down-to-earth as old people robbing a bank can get) makes for a fun, passive flick. This setting provides the film’s three stars — Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Alan Arkin — with an entertaining vehicle through which to show off their acting skills.

But as mentioned before, Braff ’s simplistic approach also hinders the film in the fact that it plays it too safe at certain points. In other words, there are comedic moments in the film, as well as dramatic scenes, where the film accomplished what it set out to do.

However, there is an overall sense that Braff could have gone further — more zany,

more heartfelt.

Writing: 2/5 The story of “Going in Style” is fairly straightforward. Three old friends want to rob a bank to get back the pension funds their bank stole from them.

It doesn’t ask much of its audience other than to enjoy the hijinks that unfold. And it does end up being pretty amusing. There’s nothing in the film that will make you bust a gut laughing, but it will put a genuine smile on your face by the end of it.

There are a few hiccups, however, that detract rather than add to the story. Besides the three main friends, and a couple of other exceptions, the rest of the characters feel underwritten and cliché.

It seems that their only purpose is to fill a certain character type in the story. In this way, they serve their purpose, and the three stars at the center of the movie pick up all the slack. Still, it would have been nice if the side characters were as well rounded as the main ones.

Other than that, there is a romance that blossoms with

Al, but ultimately feels tacked on and pointless by the end of the film.

Acting: 3/5 The main trio of “Going in Style” are Michael Caine as Joe, Morgan Freeman as Willie and Alan Arkin as Al. These three are highlights of the film and the main reason to go see it. Their on-screen chemistry makes it abundantly clear just how much fun the actors had working together in their respective roles.

The rest of the cast falls into the shadow of the giants who take center stage, but they provide enough strength, even if they have less screen time than Caine, Freeman and Arkin.

Overall: “Going in Style” is an amusing and amiable heist movie. Its simple premise and execution makes it easy to watch, and the talent of its lead actors make it an engaging 90-minute runtime. But for those of you looking for a weightier, more complex comedy will want to look elsewhere.

UNI hosts citizenship naturalization ceremony KIRBY DAVIS

Staff Photographer

Yesterday, April 19, the Maucker Union Ballroom hosted 90 individuals from 36 different countries with their friends and family for a life-changing occasion.

Individuals came from all over the state of Iowa to be part of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa’s Naturalization Proceeding.

These individuals, from the youngest at 23, from China, to the oldest at 82, from Vietnam, officially became United States citizens, and UNI was able to help them with the final steps of their journey.

Mark Grey, a UNI anthropology professor, helped organize the event and arrange for the proceedings to commence at UNI. This is the sixth ceremony of its kind to take place on campus.

Chief Magistrate Judge C.J. Williams was responsible for guiding these individuals and officiating the ceremony to become a US citizen. Williams said he enjoys these ceremonies over typical court proceedings.

“Someone leaves the court unhappy, but, at these ceremonies, everyone leaves happy,” Williams said.

As the ceremony continued, the oath was read to the new citizens by the deputy clerk, Paul Coberly, as each individual being recognized stood with their hand up and smiling.

This was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, after which Williams announced that they all were officially US citizens and the crowd of friends and family could not contain their excitement.

The new citizens were then welcomed with messages from congress, including Brittney Carroll, regional director for the Ernst office, delivering a letter from Senator Joni Ernst.

Ernst’s letter not only discussed the meaning of freedom, but also expressed gratitude to the new citizens, stating, “Thank you for bringing your talents and spirit to America.”

As the ceremony came to a close, the realization became clear. Although there were nearly 100 individuals from over 36 different countries all speaking different languages, they all had one thing in common: they were now all United States citizens.

Williams then closed the court, asking the new citizens to keep one saying in mind: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”

TRACK AND FIELD

Track attends Tom Botts Invitational ZACH HUNTLEY Sports Columnist

The men and women’s Panther Track and Field team traveled to Columbia, MO this weekend, where they won a number of events and earned high marks throughout the meet.

The team went up against local competitors Missouri, Missouri State, Nebraska and St. Louis — where the men walked away in second and the women finished in third.

Kicking it off on the track, UNI senior Brandon Carnes continued his season hotstreak by notching first in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes. Carnes recorded a time of 20.44 seconds in the 200 meter and 10.17 seconds in the 100-meter. Following behind him were teammates Connor Ham and Raheem Black, who finished fourth and fifth, respectively.

In the 800-meter run, Colynn Black took third, with 1:53.31, only .54 seconds behind the men’s victor. On the women’s side, junior Lindsey Kite took third with a time of 2:10.42, followed by her sophomore teammate Lyndsie Schinkel, who finished only a 10th of a second afterwards for fourth place. Both were only a second away from clinching the title.

OPINION

Aaron Hernandez found dead in a one person cell DYLAN PADY Sports Editor

Ex-New England Patriot Aaron Her nandez was supposed to spend life in prison without any possibility of parole after the murder of Odin Loyd in 2013. Yesterday, the talented tight end was found dead in his cell with a makeshift noose made of bed sheets.

The door was blocked from the inside with various items from his cell; professionals attempted to save him, but as of 4:07 a.m., Hernandez was pronounced dead.

Hernandez was never on suicide watch at the Shirley Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, MA. His actions sent chills down everyone’s spine yesterday morning, including his four year old daughter and fiancee who took his name, despite never having been married.

Hernandez was the highest paid tight end in the NFL after he signed a seven-year contract with New England. His contract was for $40 million, including a $12 million bonus. He caught a touchdown pass in their Super Bowl against the Giants and was drafted in 2010 alongside the great Rob Gronkowski.

New England had the greatest tight end duo in the entire league almost six years ago. Hernandez was drafted later than imagined due to concerns with his decision making and issues with the people with whom he accustomed himself.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick took a chance with this young man and, despite the rumors, put his trust into Hernandez and Urban Meyer, who coached for five years at the University of Florida.

organization, Hernandez donated $50,000 to a charity founded by Robert Kraft (CEO of the Patriots) in the summer of 2013. The charity honored his wife, Myra Kraft, who passed in 2011.

Her nandez completed three seasons in the NFL; and his regular season statistics showed 1,956 receiving yards, 175 receptions, 18 touchdowns and an average of 11.2 yards per reception.

Hernandez was a deeply troubled, yet incredibly talented football player, and I would bet money he was a pretty good guy.

Suicide should never be the answer, but a life in prison would continue to be a hefty reminder of the crime Hernandez committed. The decisions he made must have been tough to deal with; it was a shame he did not seek help when any dark thoughts or ideas became overwhelming.

Bunch. Brittney Krodinger followed suit by bringing in Drahn to complete the six hit five-run inning, final 5-0.

The series ended on Saturday and proved to a shootout. Bradley struck first with an RBI single in the first. They grew their lead in the second with six hits, aided with three errors

and upped the score 5-0.

The second inning also saw UNI strike back with a Lange two shot homer that brought in senior Anna Varriano. UNI inched closer on a Wolfe single that scored junior Brittney Roby.

Brittney Krodinger tied the game at five, all with her own long ball that scored

the stage. The game winning run at the plate saw no outs, then Wolfe swung for the fences and reached them. For the fourth time that game, UNI hit a two run home run and won 9-8.

UNI plays at Drake on Wednesday for two games and then travels to Loyola for a three game series.

A seventh inning error saw Bradley score three runs on one play; only one was earned. A leadoff single by Drahn opened the bottom half for another two-shot homer from Krodinger to pull within one. With no outs and nobody on, Roby was able to hit a single to set
