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. Senior Alyssa Buchannan continued to prove why she is UNI’s number one option, by earning a three
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
hit shutout at the mound. 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.
