After nearly 20 months of campaigning – from the primaries to the general election – the American people have cast their votes, and Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President of the United States in January of 2017. Election coverage ran well past 1 a.m. Central Time. Following the results of what many are calling the most consequential and divisive election in US history, social media exploded Wednesday with extreme reactions of both support and opposition to the Trump victory. On a national level, news sources from the New York Daily News to the Washington Post are reporting riots breaking out across the country on college campuses in response to Trump’s victory. Trump won the Presidency with 279 electoral votes to Clinton’s 228 electoral votes; however, Clinton took the popular vote by a margin of 200,000 votes, according to the Associated Press. On the state level, US Senate Incumbent Chuck Grassley, as well as House of Representatives Incumbents Rod Blum and David Young, won reelection. “Well, I have to say that

this is insane!” said Sydney Lundgren, junior communications major and Chair of the UNI College Republicans. “A billionaire with no political experience is our next president. It truly is a ‘we the people’ movement, and here’s to hoping we start to see real change in our country.” Lundgren referred to this election as being a “circus” from the start, with the multitude of candidates in the Republican primary making it difficult to engage voters.

Taste the culture at UNI thanks to CIE SARAH RITONDALE Staff Writer

The UNI Culture and Intensive English program is hosting a Taste of Culture Fair on Campus to kick off International Students week, which is an initiative to promote global education. “It’s a chance explore your opportunities to gain a global perspective during

your studies at UNI and dream about the possibilities of study or travel abroad,” said Sally Roos, student service coordinator of the UNI Culture and Intensive English program. The fair will be taking place on Monday, Nov. 14 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Rod Library. Visitors will have the opportunity to visit different booths to learn about over 25 different countries, including live

performances, prize activities and the chance to try foods from some cultures. The Taste of Culture Fair enables international students to engage with other a another student’s perspective. “Visitors will be encouraged to visit tables and engage in conversation with international students who will be representing their cultures through artifacts, traditional dress, activities

and interesting facts,” Roos said. Much like the Study Abroad Fair, students will be given a mock passport and as students visit each booth, they can get their book stamped in an attempt to win prizes. Once your name is entered, visitors have the chance to win prizes that are donations from local businesses and restaurants as well as UNI departments.

“It sounds like a good way to learn more about different cultures and actually eat the food of other cultures and watch performances done by international students,” said freshman computer science major, Brian Portillo. The event is free and open to all UNI students and faculty. For more information, you can visit their Facebook page, “Taste of Culture Fair.”
