Though g raduated Panthers may be away from their alma mater, about 110,000 alumni still make an impact with donations to UNI. These donations have helped educational facilities, programs and scholarships.
This past year, the UNI Foundation raised $35 million in scholarships and endowments. The UNI Foundation accepts donations from alumni and friends, and provides sound management of investments and activities, according to their website. The foundation also

While some people may think of deafness as a disability, the ASL Club argues its a culture. The American Sign Language club and faculty from the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders have decided to bring awareness to campus on the importance of Deaf History Month. Austin Vincent, president of ASL helped organize events that concern Deaf History Month, which began March 13 and runs till April 15. ASL’s events have included showing the documentary “Deaf Mosaic,” which focused on the deaf President Now movement in 1988 that leading to the first deaf president at Gallaudet University. The next event will be a discussion about when Abraham Lincoln signed a charter April 8, 1864, that allowed Gallaudet University to be the first deaf liberal arts univer-
sity. The event will be at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the State College Room in Maucker Union. The American Library Association and the National Association of the Deaf, chose the specified time frame because it includes three major events in deaf history: the Deaf President Now movement, Lincoln signing the charter and the establishment of the American School for the Deaf by the Gallaudet family on April 15, 1817. “I’m a huge history nerd, and for me what it was is recognizing that being deaf is more of a cultural thing than it is a disability thing, and any part of any culture is the history and everything that has come before it,” Vincent said. “For me, I feel like it’s a very important part of what being deaf is and what sign language is about.”

we have a lot of fun,” said Stormy O’Brink, president of UNI Proud. “This is the biggest event that we have all year. It is also the most fun for everyone.” This year’s show featured 15 performers lip-synching and dancing to 16 different songs. Every dollar tipped to the performers was donated to Community AIDS Assistance,
a nonprofit organization that assists those living with HIV and AIDS. With performances to songs like “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Talk Dirty” and “Party Life,” many dollars were exchanged in a suggestive manner between the audience and the performers. See DRAG, page 7

The scholarship initiative is aimed to collect funds to support current students and attract future students. Calhoun said the initiative is set to last five years in order to reach the $40 million goal. “We are well on our way, raising $14 million since January 2013 to present,” Calhoun said. UNI scholarships and donations aim to benefit s t u d e n t s, including individuals studying the sciences, education and mathematics. One example of how alumni contributions benefit students directly is through undergraduate research opportunities for science students. Specifically, students are allowed to work closely with professors and have access to the latest technology and lab equipment. Alumni of all different income levels have had a lasting impact through endowments distributed to benefit students every year, according to Calhoun. He said there is no “typical” donor when asked about the financial standing of regular donors. “Some of the most loyal donors are teachers who have been giving for over
50 years. Income doesn’t necessarily have a huge effect on the frequency or amount donated,” Calhoun said. Recently, $15 million out of the $35 million donated in the last fiscal year was given to the UNI College of Education to enhance student teaching opportunities and scholarships for future teachers. Large donations such as this make it hard to measure an average year of donations, according to Calhoun. “This last year has been slightly skewed because of the $15 million endowment,” Calhoun said. He said other factors, such as athletic success and academic recognition, also may influence donors. N e ve r t h e l e s s, he encourages more alumni to give regardless of past years. Aside from UNI’s success and accolades inside and outside of the classroom, alumni are also enticed by events sponsored by CATS, Connecting Alumni to Students, which can lead to further donations. “With providing alumni with different events to come back to UNI, they can remember their college days and will more likely support the university,” said Clarine
Ford, president of CATS. One function of CATS is to serve as a link between students, alumni and administration, according to Ford. However, she said they also encourage and prepare students to be future contributors to UNI. One of CATS’s programs, Students Today Alumni Tomorrow, offers a membership that includes free T-shirts throughout the year as well as other benefits, such as coupons. “The STAT program is specifically designed for students to support UNI while they are in college so that they will more inclined to give after they graduate,” said Calhoun. Student and alumni contributions have even shaped the physical appearance of UNI, as they have been the source of funding for some of the most iconic buildings constructed at UNI. The first fundraising effort for UNI was to construct the Campanile. Monetary donations are usually the easiest way for alumni to contribute, according to Ford, but alumni also have the option of giving other valuable resources. An alumnus can support UNI by paying a visit, helping a student land a job or giving advice about a career in their company.

Emily Moser, senior studio art major, has been employed with work study since fall of 2012 as a guard in the UNI Gallery of Art in the Kamerick Art Building. “I like it. I get to see interesting things, and also a lot of people,” Moser said. “It provides a time to get a lot of work done.” Seventy-five percent of work-study is funded by the federal government. The rest is funded by UNI. A portion of the federal work-study program is required to be used for Community Service Learning program jobs, also known as Off-Campus Work Study jobs, as well as reading tutors. There are two types of Community Service Learning jobs. One is Off-Campus Community Service, where the student helps out at a nonprofit organization, such as the YMCA, Boys & Girls Club and Big Brothers Big Sisters. The other is America Reads Community Service, which allows students to gain teaching experience by reading to elementary children. For more information about the work study program at UNI, contact Joyce Morrow at 319-2732701, Tim Bakula at 319273-2722 or visit the Office of Student Financial Aid in Gilchrist Hall.

President Barack Obama urged support of his plan to raise the national minimum wage to help Americans out of poverty in a speech at the University of Michigan on Wednesday. The address, which also included a handful of quips about the Wolverines basketball, highlighted the importance of increasing the hourly rate to $10.10 to extend the American dream to more Americans. "You can give America the shaft or you can give America a raise," Obama said. An estimated 1,400 filled half of the gymnasium in the University of Michigan Intramural Sports Building. Behind the president was a giant American flag, "Michigan" painted in maize and blue on the brick wall and several dozen Michigan students, many of them in school sweatshirts and T-shirts. "We should make it easier for your generation to gain a foothold on the ladder of opportunity," he said. The federal minimum wage,

SEXUAL ASSAULT
Prevention programs help reduce assaults on campus IAN SHILHANEK Staff Writer
In 2013, UNI saw five forcible sex offenses and one nonforcible sex offense on campus, which is down from the nine forcible and one nonforcible the year prior, according to reports generated by the Clery Act. However, another sexual assault was reported Monday, which occurred in Bender Hall March 30. In order to be counted in the report, the assault has to happen on campus, so the numbers reported are consistent with the number of reportable offenses on UNI property. The majority of assaults are not reported so the numbers are not wholly accurate. At UNI, the Center for Violence Prevention and Violence Intervention Services are working together to change the climate attitude toward sexual assault at UNI and surrounding areas. Before students can even step foot on campus, they must take an online sexual assault prevention program that teaches students about different forms of sexual misconduct, and things such

$7.25, was last raised in 2009. Previously, it had been $6.55 an hour. Opponents of the wage hike also predict paying $10.10 would force some business to raise their prices, if not shut down entirely. "We believe everyone should have a chance at success. And we believe the economy grows best not from the top down, but from the mid out," the president said. He estimated that a higher minimum wage would raise 28 million out of poverty, including about 1 million in Michigan. This marks Obama's third visit to the Ann Arbor campus. Nor was Michigan the first institution of higher learning he visited to discuss minimum wage; the president was at Valencia College in Orlando on March 20 and Central Connecticut State University in New Britain, Conn., on March 5. Like Michigan, both are public schools. Michigan is one of 21 states and the District of Columbia that have minimum wage rates that are higher than the federal one, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

Violence Intervention Services offers victim services advocates that help students who have experienced some kind of relationship violence so that these individuals can be successful students and know all the options available to them. Joan Thompson, a victims services advocate, said that part of the Violence Intervention Services’ education efforts focus on bystanders. “One of the things that we do in regards to prevention is to help train bystanders to recognize when there is a dangerous situation and know that they have some power to do something,” Thompson said. The Center for Violence Prevention works to utilize partnerships with leaders

on state and national levels to bring programming and expertise in bullying and violence prevention throughout grade schools, colleges and communities. One of the main things the center does is to help infuse the bystanderbased prevention education and strategies throughout the university. The Center also implemented the Mentors in Violence Prevention program that seeks to inspire leadership, encourage students to be active bystanders, challenge thinking by keeping an open mind and prevent harassment of all kinds. If an individual has been
assaulted, they can visit victim advocates to discuss options for reporting the incident to the university or law enforcement. The advocates also provide information about medical care, counseling, academic accommodations, housing options and financial help if needed. Advocates also provide support. “It’s a personal crisis for victims that is often times ongoing even after the event is over,” Thompson said. “There is a lot of rippling effects.” Thompson can be reached at 319-273-2137 or at her office in the Wellness Recreation Center, Room 101.

It is a sign of desperate times when only satire tells the truth. The mock newspaper The Onion, in its March 11 issue, jokingly displayed the headline, “Word ‘Innovate’ Said 650,000 Times at SXSW So Far.” Innovation is the hot buzzword, and everyone agrees innovation is a great necessity and that we all know what it is. But when a word is repeated many times, notice that the word begins to lose meaning and becomes merely sound. This happens on a societal level when a word catches on and is bandied about everywhere. Its specificity is subsumed under vague associations with improvement, progress and change, which we automatically agree must be good. The Obama administration’s latest initiative, Presidential Innovation Fellows, is a program “created to bridge the gap between the private sector and the public sector, to bring incredibly talented innovators into government to work col-

laboratively for a period of time with top government innovators to rapidly solve challenges of national importance,” according to the White House’s website. Its projects appear laudable: making government data public, making services to citizens and small businesses easier to discover, even a program to zap Earth-threatening asteroids. Unfortunately, the website deploys buzz phrases like “innovation community,” “consumer-friendly” and “data liberation,” all assured to support American businesses, jobs and liberties. Ways to critically evaluate these plans are left to the innovators. But what is innovation? Judging by its present usage, it is rooted in market-based solutions for corporate and technological growth. Innovation covers different procedures— the metrical being only one of them. It can describe improving products, productivity and revenue. It can mean solutions to previous innovations that are failing, such as “green energy” over fossil fuels. It has become a cipher, meaning all of these things and nothing. We believe in it on faith. It will solve all present and future difficulties if we innovate faster and harder.

Taking issue with it is dissent. Headlines such as Wired’s “The Bias Against Innovation” and Bloomberg Business Week’s “Three Sins Against Innovation” accentuate the sacral place the word has assumed in our life. Innovation is conflated with progress and invention. All have come to mean one thing: faith that new inventions, ideas and methods push our civilization forward to a perfect end.
The definition of progress is simply forward movement to an end. It may or may not have a goal. Invention is the creation of something new, as opposed to the refining of a procedure. Innovation assumes the bases of our institutions, laws and markets are sound and that they merely need fine uning. Invention would alter the bases. To use a buzzword, invention is the true “game changer.”
Innovation seminars are extremely popular right now, as are self-help and self-esteem seminars. The latter rises as depression and anxiety increase, indicating something deeply wrong in us. And so it is with the cant of innovation. We feel there is something deeply wrong with the way our society functions. We turn to “innovation” for help. What may be needed instead is invention.
Expand your vocabulary: The vegetarian learn a second language bandwagon Nehemiah Nelson nelsonaf @uni.edu
Hay muchas razones para aprender un segundo idioma para nosotros en los Estados Unidos por lo que todos debemos aprender a hablar un nuevo idioma. For those unfamiliar with Spanish, I said that there are many reasons to learn a second language so we should all try to master a new tongue. U.S. Americans are notoriously monolingual. The U.S. Census Bureau tells us that 79 percent of the population speaks only English at home. Although we’ve
had an increasing number of bilinguals and polyglots in the U.S., many are immigrants who will lose their native language over several generations as they are forced to assimilate. But what is more shocking are the attitudes behind these statistics. Many U.S. English speakers are blissfully complacent in their monolingualism. Our motivation for learning languages should reach far beyond mere resume fodder. Learning another language will do much more than just land you the job you’ve been after (although it may do that, too.) Although there are certainly extrinsic benefits to knowing a second lan-
guage, the greatest benefits are inherently intrinsic. Cognitive, communicative and cultural benefits are some of the most salient reasons for acquiring another language. Studies repeatedly demonstrate the cognitive advantages of being a bilingual or polyglot. According to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, bilingualism correlates positively with intelligence, memory, problem solving and visual and spatial abilities. A study by P.D. Wiley also concluded that students who know a second language typically perform better in college. See LANGUAGE, page 5

Last year, I decided to become a vegetarian for a simple reason: I do not like meat. Something about eating meat had always grossed me out, so I decided to stop eating it altogether and explored other food options. For several months, I was successful. I went cold turkey (pun intended) and never had cravings. However, after several months of my vegetarian diet, I noticed unwanted changes in my weight and appearance, and realized that I had not been substituting
my diet enough. Deciding that I did not have the money to fund a healthy vegetarian diet, I reluctantly went back to my old eating habits. However, after reading Nicholas Kristof ’s opinion column in the New York Times, “The Unhealthy Meat Market,” I think I might have to switch back to a vegetarian diet, and this time for different reasons. According to Kristof ’s article from March 12, 2014, Tyson slaughters 135,000 cattle a week, along with 391,000 hogs and 41 million chickens. Sadly, the number of chickens being slaughtered each week is not the worst of it. See VEGETARIAN, page 5

LANGUAGE
continued from page 4
Studying and learning a second language also improves communication skills in your first language. Multiple studies demonstrate the link between second language lear ning and metalinguistic awareness. I experienced this increase in awareness in high school when I uncovered new English grammatical concepts as I studied Spanish. Bilinguals are typically more cognizant of the rules and grammar that govern languages. One’s understanding of different cultures signifi-
cantly improves when taking on a new language. This knowledge affords the speaker an opportunity to travel with more ease in a location that speaks the tongue. Language is an integral part of culture and speakers of two or more languages often have heightened cultural competency and awareness. Students can start learning a world language right here at UNI. One could begin with a college-level world language class taught by one of our outstanding language professors. Our university offers courses in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese and Russian.
OPINION
PAGE 5
Immersing yourself in a setting where everyone speaks a different language is another way to learn. The immersion may not have as much structure as a classroom setting, but the input would be authentic and natural. On a national scale, perhaps the best thing we can do to remedy our monolingualism is to offer bilingual education from an early age. Children acquire languages more easily than adults and will reap many benefits in the future. So start today and for cultural, communicative and cultural reasons, learn a new language.

The chickens are bred to grow huge breasts so that as adults they can hardly breathe or stand without toppling over. To put this in perspective, Poultry Science journal has calculated that if humans grew at the same rate as modern chickens, a human by the age of two months would weigh 660 pounds.” Even though I absolutely love animals, I always used to dismiss statistics about
what happened to animals in slaughterhouses. I saw them as scare tactics used by people interested in the vegetarian and vegan agenda. But the more articles I read, such as Kristof ’s column, with evidence that the horrors of the meat market are very true and not oversensationalized, I cannot help but feel guilty about eating meat. I feel that I am contributing to corrupt companies’ attempts to make a profit at the expense of the lives of animals.
The last paragraph of Kristof ’s column will be ringing in my ears as I reassess my diet. “A starting point is to recognize bluntly that our industrial food system is unhealthy. It privatizes gains but socializes the health and environmental costs. It rewards shareholders — Tyson’s stock price has quadrupled since early 2009 — but can be ghastly for the animals and humans it touches. Industrial meat has an acrid aftertaste,” Kristof wrote.

Pride week soliloquies KAYLA KROGMAN Staff Writer
A dark Strayer-Wood Theatre was flooded with guests Tuesday night for the third annual Queer Monologues, put on by UNI Proud as part of Pride Week. Inspired by the Vagina Monologues, the Queer Monologues are intimate pieces regarding the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. “The Queer Monologues are about people within the community growing stronger as a community,” said Taylor Lewis, student and coordinator of the night’s events. Lewis started the evening by quoting Chimamanda Adichie, saying that stereotypes weren’t necessarily untrue, but that they turn one story into the only story. Students delivered 18 original monologues throughout
the night. Stormy O’Brink, president of UNI Proud, was one of the performers. “What sticks out the most is when people say ‘I feel sorry for you,’” O’Brink said. O’Brink’s monologue described her struggles with others’ ignorance in regard to her asexuality and their attitude toward other members of the asexual, or ace, community. Stephanie Nicholson, freshman theater major, was fond of O’Brink’s monologue. “I enjoyed it because it was written and delivered in a very confrontational way,” Nicholson said. Nicholson also said that all pieces for the evening were written and delivered well. Another performer for the evening was DJ Xayasouk, senior theater major. “I think being gay is the most beautiful thing in the world; I can have sex without getting pregnant,” Xayasouk
said. Xayasouk used humor in his monologue to illustrate how he felt about his sexuality and the people around him. “Being gay isn’t my problem; it’s yours,” Xayasouk said. Alyssa Bignall, sophomore sociology major, was another featured performer. Bignall’s story explained her journey through different labels to describe her orientation. She said she learned she doesn’t need a label, they are “too restricting.” After the performance, a Q&A was held regarding the performers. “I think it’s important to see people as people,” said Ella Daft, director of creative programming for UNI Proud and one of the night’s performers. “We have to use different perspectives to give a personal face to an individual.”
Marching band invited to London KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer
For the first time in school history, the Panther Marching Band will partake in an international event. London’s 29th Annual New Year’s Day Parade, which takes place Jan. 1, 2015. “In order to perform at the parade, you have to be invited,” said Daniel Galyen, marching band director. “There’s a selection committee of ... professional musicians and music educators that will recommend bands that they have looked at or seen. He said it was an honor to be one of the bands choosen to perform. The trip was announced March 26, 2014, when Duncan Sandys, former Lord Mayor of London and Robert Bone, executive director of the parade, visited campus to issue a formal invitation. When she found out about the invitation, sophomore instrumental music education major Emma Thompson was “in shock.” “I could not believe that our marching band from the middle of the United States had been invited to perform in the London New Year’s Day Parade, which is even bigger than the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade,” Thompson said.

major, added that it is a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will be an amazing experience.” Galyen said a lot of the planning for the trip will be done over the summer, such as music selection and figuring out how the band’s performance will look. He was confident the band will have plenty of time to prepare. “From a performance stand point, I bet they’ll be able to put their performance together fairly quickly, especially since this will be over winter break,” Galyen said. “We’ll have just finished the fall where they’ll be at the height of their performance mode.” Travel arrangements, however, may not be as easy. Carlo travelled to Brazil with the Northern Iowa Symphony Orchestra over spring break and said it was “a hassle” to transport the larger intruments.
“Getting 10-15 sousaphones, a bunch of trombones, baritones, saxophones, etc., across the pond—that’s going to be interesting,” he said. For Thompson, this will be her first time going abroad. “I think that it will make the trip that much more special and memorable for me, and I am so excited that I get to share the experience of my first time traveling out of the country with my PMB family,” she said. Thompson said she hopes the trip will help the band become “more confident and enthusiastic musicians because of it.” Carlo is looking forward to experiencing life in another country seeing some of the historical sights, which Galyen said was an important part of the trip.

Finding women’s roles in the Catholic church RILEY COSGROVE Staff Writer
Before an audience of UNI students, faculty, priests and local community members, Melinda Henneberger gave remarks on her thoughts and feelings regarding the role of women within the Roman Catholic Church. Henneberger, who, as a journalist, has written for The Washington Post and The New York Times, gave examples of what women in the Catholic church have been able to overcome and what obstacles lie ahead of them. “I have always thought of Jesus as a feminist,” Henneberger said, citing a story of Jesus defending a woman about to be stoned for “promiscuous actions.” Henneberger, who grew up Catholic in rural southern Illinois, used her own life experiences and the experiences of others within her former small-town parish to draw on ideas of what exactly is affecting the Catholic Church on a global level. “Most of the problems I see within this small parish, regarding the diocese and the relationship between the parish and its parishioners, are problems that are seen globally within the Catholic church,” Henneberger said, using personal stories of why members have left that parish or left the Catholic church completely. Henneberger pointed out the importance for Pope Francis to act on issues regarding women’s involve-

To help get the history aspect across, ASL put on a game of deaf Jeopardy that focused on events in deaf history. The club also showed the film “Black Sand,” which is about four deaf students in Costa Rica and was played last Friday. It included subtitles for the signing impaired. Karlene Kischer-Browne, communication sciences and disorders professor, said there has been a resurgence
ment within the church. Pope Francis has already made statements regarding poverty, which affects mainly women. According to The Hunger Project’s website, “a vast majority of the world’s poor are women.” Francis has also vowed to discuss changes in the Catholic church regarding the modern family, gay adoption, contraceptives and whether divorced and remarried couples can still actively participate in the church. These discussions are scheduled to take place at the 8th Annual World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia October 2015. Although these are outlined discussion topics, no implements or ratifications have been made within the church regarding these issues. “Pope Francis has discussed new ways to bring women into the church and let me attain new roles that a women has never participated in,” Henneberger said. “But as far as women being allowed to serve as ordained priests, Pope Francis has already stated that this is a question that is not open for discussion.” Henneberger points out that women’s involvement within the church will not only depend upon church leaders, but on women themselves. “Catholic women have to want to be involved within the church,” Henneberger said. “Most of it will rely on them to put forth the effort to serve in different roles within the church.” in deaf people creating films in American Sign Language. “We could put on some documentaries and we could show films put on by hearing actors portraying deaf people, but the beauty of it is there’s been a real renaissance in film for deaf people,” Kischer-Browne said. She said the point of Deaf History Month is to “spread the word and make people aware” of deafness. “I appreciate UNI’s commitment to diversity that allows that, that freedom to do that,” Kischer-Browne said.

“It is a lot of fun,” said Tyler Determann, senior psychology major. A second-time performer at the annual event, he also emceed at the Halloween Ball last October. For some performers, it was their last time being a part of the show as a UNI student. UNI’s homecoming queen, Lola Lustre, (Steven Sanchez, senior communications major) gave her final performance before graduating this spring. She lipsynched a small medley to a Kylie mix. “Having been involved with UNI Proud for the past
three years, I’ve really seen the group grow,” Sanchez said. “This year’s drag show was not only the perfect way to kick off Pride Week, but the perfect way to end my last year at UNI.” Some of the other acts, such as “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Does Your Mother Know” and “Party Life,” performed by UNI students Holden Er’Close, Dareynn Payne, Kelsey Ann and Bahati Minho, helped spark energy that left the audience laughing and cheering the entertainers on. “I loved the show,” said Paige Rustad, senior public relations major. “This was my first drag show in my life and I had an absolute blast.”

ROAD TO THE NFL
Sievertsen competes in pro day TYLER SIEVERTSEN
Former UNI placekicker
The pro day at UNI last week signified my last competitive event for a while. It was a great ending to the past four months of training and competing. I knew this would be my last opportunity to gain attention from NFL teams before the draft. Coming in to the pro day, I knew that I would have to prove certain things. One of those things would be my ability to hit long field goals. I prepared myself so that I could make the most out of the opportunity. I walked into the UNIDome Thursday morning ready for anything. We started off the day by checking various physical features. The scouts took down notes on things like our height and weight. After that, the other guys did their testing on bench repetitions, squat and cleans. They also had other drills and tests I didn’t have to participate. Kicking would be my only task for the day. I waited and watched the others until it was my turn to go. The scouts started off tell-
ing me they only had to see one thing. They said that my statistics spoke for themselves and they just wanted to check my distance on field goals. I started off at 45 yards. I made that easily and I felt very comfortable moving back farther. I went back to 50 and as I was lining up the kick, one scout said that this one was to beat the University of Iowa. That was all I needed to hit my best ball of the day. I then went back and made 52 yards. That was all they needed to see. They said I did great so I handed them my highlight DVD and we called it a day. Overall, I was satisfied with the results. From this point on, my agent and I will be working diligently to either get a workout or make a camp spot. The journey to this point has given me so many opportunities not only to show my abilities, but also to visit some amazing places. I’ve been to Seattle, New Jersey, Phoenix and Tampa, Florida, in the past four months. There have been great opportunities and I’ve done what I can, so let’s hope for the best. As always — go Panthers.

OPINION
UNI in good shape after disappointing season NICK ALVARADO
Sports Columnist
A reason for optimism exists amidst the disappointment of a season that fell short. The UNI women’s basketball team missed out on a few opportunities this past season that would’ve put them in a favorable position for postseason action. The uninspired performance in the season finale against Indiana State University and the heartbreaking loss against Illinois State University in the first game of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament come to mind. Crumbling under the pressure of a big game is a signature trait of a young team, and head coach Tanya Warren has said many times that her team is indeed young and inexperienced. But as the season progressed, it was apparent that this youthful Panther team was growing up. The
Northern Iowan Archives
The women’s basketball team ended their season on a disappointing note. However, columnist Nick Alvarado says they will be in good shape next season, as the team is returning five starters.
six-game winning streak that Indiana State eventually snapped is certainly evidence of that. UNI is in the extremely favorable position of having three sophomores (forwards Jen Keitel and Hannah Schonhardt and guard Stephanie Davison) and two juniors (guards Brittni Donaldson and
Brooke Brown) as starters this season, while truefreshman guard Madison Weekly got major minutes as well. Bringing back five starters is a rare thing in college basketball, and if UNI is able to do so, they get the opportunity to build on the chemistry and experience that was accumulated dur-
ing this turbulent season. A major part of overcoming the lows of this year was the Panthers becoming comfortable in Warren’s offense and a willingness to share the ball. The Panthers accrued 415 assists on the season, which was almost 14 per game, earning them fourth
overall in the conference for assists. When the Panthers were at their best, they were passing the ball around the perimeter and always looking for the better shot in an almost San Antonio Spursesque manner. They were getting a lot of open looks at the basket and defenses could never just key in on one player, as there were several capable shooters on the UNI roster. It also didn’t hurt to have a first team All-Conference forward in Keitel, who made teams pay down low for spreading themselves too thin by chasing the ball every which way. With Keitel leading the way offensively and setting up shooters like Davison, Weekly, Donaldson and forward Amber Sorenson on the outside, the Panthers have the potential to boast a very potent offense next year. Consider the rest of the MVC officially on notice.
