UNI releases latest COVID-19 numbers ELIZABETH KELSEY News Editor

The UNI Student Health Center reported 35 new cases of COVID-19 among the campus community over the past week, bringing the campus’ cumulative total to 105 since the semester began.

According to the university’s second week of COVID19 data reporting, released on Friday, Sept. 4, the Student Health Center conducted a total of 152 COVID-19 tests from Aug. 31-Sept. 6. This calculates to a 23.03% positivity rate for on-campus testing.

As compared with the previous week, both the number of positive cases and the positivity rate declined. During the period from Aug. 24-30, the Student Health Center had reported 54 positive cases with a 32.14% positivity rate.

Numbers from the Northern Iowan’s last

Students study in Maucker Union while wearing masks. The UNI Student Health Center has released its second week of COVID-19 data, indicating a slight decline in the campus positivity rate and number of positive tests.

COVID-19 update may not align with these results, however, since the Friday updates only include data as collected through Thursday of that week. 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 dashboard also provides data on Department of Residence quarantine and isolation numbers. As of Sept.

3, there are currently 91 individuals in quarantine and 32 in isolation.

Added to the dashboard this week was a table listing the number of self-reported cases of COVID-19 as reported through the daily Panther Health Survey.

This week’s table indicated that since Sept. 1, 21 positive cases have been self-reported by students, staff and faculty.

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.

Other than any that are self-reported, the university’s weekly updates do not include test results from students, staff or faculty who are tested at off-campus locations.

“It would be nice if the statistics they handed out reflected tests done at the Test Iowa center (off-campus),” said third-year music major Kameron Reed. “It’s not 100% representative.”

In a campus-wide email announcing the second week of data, the university’s COVID-19 Response Team Co-Chairs Colleen Mulholland and Joseph Rayzor indicated that further adjustments to the data reporting are possible as the semester continues.

“We greatly appreciate your feedback, and will continue exploring ways to appropriately segment data and to include additional data to the dashboard while also protecting the privacy of our community members,” the email stated.

Panel spotlights health care careers NICK BAUR

Staff Writer

With the spotlight this year on the many scientific, medical and health professions, UNI offered a great opportunity for community members and students to learn more about these careers, specifically at UNI. On Thursday, Sept. 5, the UNI Department of Academic Affairs orchestrated a conference focused on presenting the many health careers found here on campus.

The meeting of faculty and students hoped to provide more nuanced information related to the health career paths and majors offered at UNI as well as provide firsthand experiences relating to these majors and career paths.

Keeping with the campus’

social distancing guidelines in response to the COVID19 pandemic, the health panel took place on a Zoom video call rather than congregating for an in-person panel. The panel, which was spearheaded and mediated by STEM coordinator Marcy Seavey, was open to the public. Several students and community members were in attendance.

Health and medical majors represented during the virtual gathering included biology, chemistry and biochemistry, public health and education, communication sciences and disorders and kinesiology.

The Zoom video call featured current and former UNI students that have either graduated with these health-related degrees or are currently pursuing said degrees at UNI. See PANEL, page 4

“Quest” to promote racial justice SEPTEMBER 7, 2020 |

ELIZABETH KELSEY News Editor

The UNI administration has announced an upcoming six-week program promoting racial justice in the Cedar Valley and is calling for contributions and/ or nominations from faculty, staff and students.

Provost Jim Wohlpart announced the program, Cultivating Justice: A 6-Week Quest Toward Racial Equity, in an email to the campus community on Friday, Sept. 4.

“For 400 years the burden and trauma of inequity has impacted our communities,” Wohlpart wrote “We must consciously commit to making anti-racism

the default practice at UNI, in the Cedar Valley, and beyond.”

The Quest, as Wohlpart referred to the program, will bring together members of the UNI and Cedar Valley communities to “explore race, power, and privilege as well as to organize, advocate, and act in ways that promote racial justice and activate systemic change in our communities.”

In preparation for the program’s launch in Jan. 2021, UNI is seeking contributions, such as research articles, essays, podcasts, videos, performances, events, artwork, activities and/or worksheets that engage issues surrounding racial equity. Applicants are encouraged to submit work

that is already in process or completed. Nominations of local people and/or organizations engaging in social justice work are also encouraged.

Contributions and nominations must be made by Oct. 1, and may be submitted at https://uni.co1. qu a lt r i c s . c o m /jfe/fo r m / SV_01JAgEWwOLMB4Lb. Submissions will be reviewed through a peer review editorial process.

Submitted and reviewed materials will be featured on the Quest website, which will be divided into three categories: knowledge, skills and renewal. According to Wohlpart’s email, each category’s materials will help participants connect with local activism opportunities,

continued from page 1

When asked for their reaction to the week’s numbers, UNI students such as freshman Megan Witte took a fairly positive view.

“I know some people that have been quarantined, and so far (the UNI administration) has done a good job trying to keep it organized and keep us all healthy,” said Witte, an undecided major.

“It’s not ideal, but they’re doing what they can.”

Her fellow freshman, biochemistry major Jenna Heinen, agreed.

“We obviously can always do better, but in comparison to the other two state schools, we’re doing better than they are,” Heinen said.

At Iowa State University, where information is being released weekly, the latest update indicates that a total of 655 students and ten faculty/staff members have tested positive since Aug. 1. These numbers do not include results from movein testing, which ISU was the only Iowa state school to

The University of Iowa, which updates the number of self-reported positive COVID-19 tests every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, reported another 253 positive tests among students on Friday, bringing the school’s total to 1,395. Three new employee cases were reported for a total of 19.

Both ISU and the University of Iowa are among the colleges in the nation with the most COVID-19 cases on campus according to the New York Times. Students, faculty and staff at the University of Iowa have called for classes to be moved fully online in light of the rising cases.

UNI students had mixed feelings regarding the likelihood of an eventual shift to online-only instruction.

“I don’t want to, but I feel like it’s inevitable,” Heinen said.

“I prefer going to class in-person, but it might reach a point where we have to go all online,” Witte agreed. “I know some teachers have been preparing to The Northern Iowan is published semi-weekly on Monday and Thursday during the academic year, except for holidays and examination periods, by the University of Northern Iowa, L011 Maucker Union, Cedar Falls, IA 50614-0166 under the auspices of the Board of Student Publications.

Reed said she thought UNI would “try to make in-person classes work” for as long as possible.

“I would not be surprised if for the rest of the semester, we are still at least partially in-person,” she said.

University administrators have indicated a similar commitment to in-person education, as stated by Provost Jim Wohlpart in a message to the campus community on Friday.

“I understand that a rumor is circulating that the university will be moving fully online after the withdrawal deadline passes,” he wrote. “Please be assured that we would not have done all this work, and invested so heavily in your learning experience, if we intended to shift online. Our goal is to finish the semester with as many face-to-face classes as possible while elevating our efforts to maintain the health and safety of our faculty, staff, and students.”

VOLUME 117, ISSUE 6

Disclaimer: The following opinion articles featured do not reflect the opinion of the Northern Iowan newspaper or staff as a whole.

Slomka: Listen to Black Lives Matter EMERSON SLOMKA Opinion Columnist

Seven-hundred sixty-five people have been killed by police officers in 2020. Black people make up 28% of this statistic, despite only making up 13% of the United States population. In general Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police than white people, with approximately 17% having been unarmed at the time of their killing, making the Black community the most likely demographic to be murdered by police whilst unarmed (by comparison, about 13% of white victims were unarmed-- quite a jump in percentages).

The Black Lives Matter movement was founded in 2013 as a response to the murder of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed Black minor who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman of the Twin Lakes Neighborhood Watch Program. The Black

Lives Matter movement sought to spread awareness of police brutality and combat it on a legislative level.

As rates of police brutality against Black Americans continues to increase (police killed more people during the first half of 2020 than they did in the entirety of 2019), the Black Lives Matter movement has continued to inspire action and, in some cases, outrage.

How could Black Lives Matter, a proclamation of the Black community’s value and very right to live, be controversial? Sometime after the introduction of the Black Lives Matter movement, the All Lives Matter movement was born, seeking to criticize the focus put on the systemic oppression of Black people with a pseudo-inclusive agenda. It’s such an obvious take – of course all lives matter… Or do they? Slavery in the United States was legal from around 1619 to 1865 – 246 years. Segregation lasted from about 1865 to 1964 – 99

years. Black Americans have only been “free” for about 56 years and since have faced constant police brutality, fewer employment opportunities, less pay and practically no political representation (out of the 541 members of congress, only 56 are Black). All things considered, America doesn’t seem to think that Black lives matter. And if Black lives don’t matter, then all lives don’t matter.

This brings us to the most prominent flaw in the All Lives Matter logic – the All Lives Matter movement likes to promote the idea that all people are equal and that no demographic is worth focus-

ing on, but the statistics indicate that Black people are obviously facing deep-rooted systemic oppression that white people never have to face. In an ideal world, all lives would matter, but to make that a reality, we need to focus on the urgent issues faced by marginalized communities, such as police brutality towards Black people.

Think of America as a neighborhood, and each home is a different demographic or community. When a home catches on fire, the fire department (which we could interpret as activists) arrives to put out the fire and try to save the home.

This isn’t an exclusionary act

– they’re not excluding the other homes by not spraying them, as the other homes don’t need to be put out.

Rather, they’re focusing their time and effort into preserving the home that is at risk of being burnt down. If one of the neighbors took offense to the firefighters’ focus on the flaming home and suggested that “all homes matter!” they would face extensive ridicule; yes, all of the homes in the neighborhood do matter, but not all of them are struggling to the degree that the flaming home is.

When someone responds to “Black lives matter” with “all lives matter,” it’s indicative of two possibilities: either they wish to discredit the Black Lives Matter movement by making it seem exclusive, or they are simply well-meaning yet ignorant and don’t fully understand the struggle the Black community faces to have the importance of their lives reflected in legislation.

All lives can’t matter until Black lives matter.

Taking a look at 1968 vs. 2020 election years

Opinion Columnist

Picture this: there’s an election year in which there’s global unrest and turmoil, mass protesting in American cities, a Republican nominee running his campaign on the message of law and order and the “silent majority,” while the Democrats are running a former establishment vice president as their nominee and widespread uncertainty for the future of America. If this sounds like the year 2020, you’d definitely be right. But there was another time in American history which has an eerily high amount of similarities as this year: 1968.

The Vietnam War was sparking countless anti-protests in American cities and college campuses, coinciding with the worldwide fear of the spread of Communism, similar to how the COVID-19 pandemic has turned the world upside down. Republican presidential nominee Richard Nixon COLIN HORNING

would end up making “law and order” a central theme of his campaign in response to many of the riots in American cities, similar to how President Trump has begun using the same mantra in response to riots in Kenosha, WI and Portland, OR, among other places. In 1968, similar to the 2020 Democratic primary season, the party was split on nominating a more progressive figure like U.S. Senator Bobby Kennedy or a more centrist figure Vice President Hubert Humphrey.

With all of these factors in play, it’s no wonder that in both 1968 and 2020 that America’s future seemed uncertain.

The 1960s were a tumultuous time for the United States.

Landmark civil rights legislation would be signed into law after decades of peaceful protests led by Martin Luther King, Jr. A new counterculture, led by the anti-war movement, swept through college campuses and society as a whole. Prominent leaders such as John F. Kennedy,

MLK and Bobby Kennedy would be assassinated during the decade, creating a nation fraught with grief. Due to such turmoil and unrest, people decided to take to the streets. While some protests would be orderly, some would delve into violence. As a result, the Republican nominee for Richard Nixon promised to restore law and order in the streets if elected. The eventual Democratic nominee, Hubert Humphrey, had waited for a prolonged period of time to denounce the Vietnam War at the demands of many of the collegiate protestors, creating a divide in the party and an extremely turbulent Democratic convention.

Much like Nixon, Trump has made law and order a main theme of his re-election campaign. In response to over three months of violence in Portland, OR, and other violence in American cities, Trump has promised to bring the United States back to a nation of laws if re-elected and is counting

on the “silent majority” of voters to do so. Nixon had coined the term during the ‘68 election, referring to the number of voters who support him is actually greater than perceived, because many people either did not want to publicly show support for Nixon or they preferred to keep to themselves. Trump has repeatedly cited the silent majority as a large part of his support group, as many people nowadays are reluctant to publicly show support for the president out of fear of backlash.

With the Vietnam War dominating the headlines during the 60’s, one can easily draw comparisons to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020. Political leaders in both years were scrutinized by their responses to such events, and being that they both took place in an election year means every action taken would be under a microscope.

Both events would be highly politicized into the runup towards the election, as both sides of the political

spectrum attempted to score political points off of their opponents’ actions.

History is oftentimes a good indicator of the future.

Throughout human history, there are countless examples of societies that we can study in order to not make the same mistakes. 1968 is a more recent example of American society, but if that year is any indication, the presidential election of 2020 will likely be turbulent and closely-contested.

COVID-19 alters commencement and homecoming ELIZABETH KELSEY News Editor

The UNI administration announced this week that due to concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, fall 2020 commencement activities will be conducted virtually.

Iowa State University and the University of Iowa also shifted their fall commencement ceremonies to an online format this week.

“We know this is disappointing, but trust you understand that the health and safety of our graduates

along with their family and friends is paramount,” the Office of University Relations stated in an email to the campus community on Thursday, Sept. 3.

“To our Spring 2020 graduates who hoped to take part in the December ceremony, we invite you to either join in this virtual celebration or return later for an in-person ceremony.”

The ceremony is now scheduled to be livestreamed on Saturday, Nov. 28, with more details to be announced at a later date.

University Relations also announced that homecoming has been postponed, and “may be rescheduled for spring,” in keeping with the delayed football season.

The festivities were originally scheduled for Oct. 16-17. This year’s theme, Panther Park, references the “Jurassic Park” movie series.

Students, staff, alumni and community members should continue to visit homecoming.uni.edu for further information and updates.

The conference touched on a variety of different medical and health related topics both professionally and academically. Several of the academic departments including Chemistry and Biochemistry, Kinesiology and Biology touted the above average opportunities of undergraduate academic research offered and the many ways it aids students even after they attain their undergraduate degree.

The panel then shifted focus to the many major and minor combinations students should take note of if they were interested in these health-related career fields. Associate PANEL

Professor Nilda Rodriguez speaking for the Biology department made sure to accentuate the importance of multidisciplinary education, especially in the health and medical field.

“I emphasize to my students that they have to realize that whatever major they are, that there is no such thing as a single disciplinary study; everything is connected,” Rodriguez said.

Panelists were then asked to recount the many stark differences that set UNI apart from the similar programs offered by other institutions in the state.

One of the biggest differences noticed by panelists was the smaller class sizes at UNI in relation to other institutions. Former biochemistry student David Chenoweth stressed the

positive impact that these smaller class sizes had on his education.

“It’s very collaborative,” said Chenoweth. “The notorious class in my program was physical chemistry, but we had such a small class size, we were able to talk through the most difficult problems as a class.”

As the conference drew to a close, the panel accepted questions from audience members about medical and health related fields and the programs offered at the University of Northern Iowa. Prospective and current students can find more information about all of these programs and majors online at majors. uni.edu or by directly contacting any of the faculty members working in the departments listed.

Douglas Shaw shares how to tell a joke AASHITA VADHERA

Staff writer

Around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept.

2, the first show from the UNI Interpreters Theatre for the semester was released in the form of a YouTube video called ‘How To tell a Joke with Doug Shaw and Monster Puppet.’ Just as the name suggests, the ten-minute video follows an instructional theme on how to tell a joke with UNI Mathematics Professor Doug Shaw and his very own Monster Puppet. The first in a five part series, Doug really wanted to emphasize the importance of telling a proper joke because in today’s world, no one likes a poorly told joke.

When asked what inspired him to create these videos with Monster Puppet, Shaw said, “I’ve been doing videos and livestreams with Monster Puppet since

March as a symptom of ‘Quarantine Loneliness.’ They got kind of good - like a solo improv show.

Don’t tell Monster Puppet I called our shows ‘solo.’ So I was approached and asked if I would do some videos with the Monster Puppet for UNI. The thought of my daughter’s puppet from when she was little to be asked to be an instructor for a university amused me more than I have the words to express.”

Although quarantine has had its ups and downs for different people, for Shaw it brought back to life a dear friend who had been kept in a box for many years.

“I first put Monster Puppet on my hand ten years ago, when my daughter was five,” said Shaw. “He has spent several years in a box. But now he is out, baby!”

A symptom of the pandemic, Shaw’s

videos demonstrate a lightness that is needed at this time.

People are anxious and lonely, so what better way to cheer them up than with videos about jokes and fun? If you are in need of a little pickme-up or just want to learn about telling a joke, go to the Interpreters Theatre YouTube page and check out Shaw’s video.

ISU reverses fans in stadium decision

Sports Editor

This past week, Iowa State University announced that they will not be allowing fans to attend their home football games at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames.

The move comes just a few days after the university had announced that they would allow 25,000 fans in the stands for their home opener against Louisiana.

Iowa State director of athletics Jamie Pollard released a statement saying, “Our department has always taken great pride in working hand-in-hand with the university and this situation is COLIN HORNING

no different. We are in this together and will do everything we can to support Dr. Wintersteen and her leadership team in their efforts to lead our institution during very challenging times.”

As a member of the Big 12 Conference, Iowa State is moving forward with their fall football season, in contrast to some other big-name conferences, such as the Big Ten and PAC12 who announced plans to postpone their fall athletics to the spring due to safety issues from the COVID19 pandemic. The state of Iowa has seen rising cases in the last month or so, and the city of Ames has the second-worst outbreak in relation to population size

according to the New York Times.

Prior to the announcement of no fans by Iowa State, the plan was to have all spectators wear face coverings. The university strongly recommended there be no large gatherings in the parking lot outside the stadium and placed a ban on tailgates altogether. They also placed seating charts in the stadium in order to account for proper social distancing.

This week in history: UNI Sports DAVID WARRINGTON Sports Writer

On Sept. 9, 2017, the Cal-Poly Mustangs traveled to Cedar Falls to take on the Panthers in the UNI-Dome.

What followed was a wild, high-scoring affair that resulted in 83 combined points and a nail-biting finish.

The game started off fairly slow, with the only first quarter scoring coming when Cal-Poly Quarterback Khaleel Jenkins connected with Slotback Kyle Lewis from 44 yards out for a touchdown. Kicker Casey Sublette knocked in the extra point to give the Mustangs a 7-0 lead they would carry into the second quarter. Offensively, things were about to pick up.

The two teams combined for 42 points in the second quarter, 28 of which were scored by the Panthers. The Panthers scored the first two touchdowns of the half. Runningback Trevor Allen broke off a 52-yard touchdown run, and Defensive Back Elijah Campbell forced a fumble that was recovered by Lineback Jared Farley. Farley returned the fumble 48 yards for another touchdown, putting the Panthers up 14-7. The next four possessions would see Jenkins and UNI QB Eli Dunne trade touchdown passes, as the Panthers went into

the half up 28-21.

Cal-Poly got the ball to begin the second half and Sublette hit a field goal from 27 yards out to close the gap on the Panthers.

Both teams had some offensive struggles in the third quarter, but the Panthers did manage to find the end zone again when Dunne found Wide Receiver Daurice Fountain for a 36-yard touchdown. The Panthers went into the final quarter of play leading 35-24.

After a 45-yard field goal from K Sam Drysdale, the Panthers led 38-24. However, the Mustangs managed to stay alive when Jenkins punched in one touchdown on the ground and another one through the air with less than a minute to play to send the game to overtime.

The Panthers got the ball to begin overtime, and Dunne once again found Fountain for a touchdown. This put the Panthers up 45-38. Needing a touchdown to stay alive, the Mustangs ended up losing nine yards on their possession and UNI escaped with the victory.

QB Eli Dunne finished the game with 325 passing yards to go along with four touchdowns.

WR Daurice Fountain also had a big game, catching five passes for 75 yards and three touchdowns. Defensively, LB Duncan Ferch led the team with 15 tackles.
