A loving madness of nature & art SYDNEY HAUER

Staff Writer

The Kamerick Art Building’s auditorium was packed with students Thursday night as visual and conceptual artist Mark Dion gave a presentation about his work and career. Dion was brought to UNI as part of the Meryl Norton Hearst lecture series. “My work is really about looking at the culture of nature – so the ideas of how we’ve evolved our concept of what the natural world is, what our obligations to it are [and] how that has changed as society changes,” Dion said. “I am looking at my work as a kind of consideration of the social construction of nature, but through visual culture and through material culture.” The Hearst lecture series allows different departments at UNI to bring in more wellknown speakers and artists. Dion’s work is sculptural in nature and incorporates the methods of different scientific disciplines, such as archaeology. In addition to giving the presentation on Thursday,

Dion also worked with printmaking students and faculty on Friday to make a screen print and a lithograph from some of Dion’s original drawings. In his lecture on Thursday, Dion talked about many of the works that he has done over the years in a variety of countries such as Italy, Germany, Norway and the United Kingdom. Many of the projects involved some kind of archaeological digs and collecting and exhibiting found objects. “I wanted to bring in Mark because he is one of the artists who has influenced me most over the years. His projects are complex and engaging, both visually and conceptually,” said Noah Doely, assistant professor in UNI’s art department. Doely was instrumental in bringing Dion to campus. “Noah invited me and I was very happy to receive the invitation,” Dion said. “I remember from when I was a student how important it was to see other artists and be exposed to other kinds of practices.” Dion’s work encompasses numerous site-specific and research-based projects. One of his notable works

is “Neukom Vivarium,” a mixed-media installation work in the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, Washington that features a 60-foot tree that fell down outside of Seattle. The tree is currently housed inside a greenhouse, which holds its own ecosystem. The greenhouse replicates the forest’s environment, and visitors are given a field guide and magnifying glasses in order to take a closer look. Many of his other works use birds as their subject matter. Dion described himself as a passionate bird watcher, saying, “It’s a way an ambitious systematic person can deal with the natural world. “I think birds are a great indicator species,” Dion continued. “The health of bird populations tells us a lot about the health of the planet in general, and there’s a long artistic tradition of artists looking at birds and using birds. And that includes everyone from Joseph Cornell to Audubon, and so I feel very much like a part of that tradition.” Caitlin Mary Margarett, a senior performance art and art history major, was in attendance at Dion’s presen-

tation Thursday night. “To become more acquainted with his work as a student is really exciting because to see his images and hear the process of such intensive, research-based, site-specific work really illuminates not only the labor, but the loving madness of that scale of projects,” Margarett said. “It makes it all that much more interesting, especially since many of the themes he addresses in his work are more relevant than ever.” “I think the most important thing that one must do is be incredibly diligent and active-

ly pursue one’s profession,” Dion said. “The art world is an insanely competitive place. It’s extremely difficult, so you have to throw yourself at it with that kind of energy and commitment. You have to be all in. There is no sitting on the fence.” Dion also praised the welcoming environment he found while visiting UNI. “This has been a […] great opportunity for me,” Dion said. “The school has been really wonderful, and the students I’ve been working with […] are fantastic and dedicated.”

continued from page 1

The league then wanted to discuss why the female breast is considered an intimate body part when it is not technically a reproductive organ. With social media playing such a large role in day-today life, the “Free the Nipple” movement has gone viral. The group drew attention to the singer and songwriter, Miley Cyrus; the singer has made her advocacy for “Free the Nipple” very apparent online and during some of her performances. The league discussed whether Cyrus was standing up for women’s rights or if she was only posting pictures of

her breasts for more followers. One point that many in the league agreed upon was because Cyrus is famous and her opinion spreads through millions of people, she is advocating for free the nipple regardless if she is trying to or not. The league also discussed mothers posting pictures of themselves breastfeeding their children online, which has drawn up some controversy. The argument in favor was that in this day and age, people post pictures of their food online and that is all the mother is doing. They discussed that some people who disagree with this may believe that the mothers are only posting these pictures for attention, however, the feminist action league believes

that they are simply advocating for women’s rights. Freeing the nipple is a very controversial argument, but Frank advises others to keep an open mind. “Stay really open to the idea of feminism because in every movement there are radical people,” Frank said. “But that shouldn’t be a reflection on the entire idea as a whole. Erase any stigma you have about feminism because if you educate yourself on it, you’re going to realize it is not what the general public make [feminism] out to be.” The feminist action league meets every Tuesday at 8 p.m. to discuss current feminist issues, where both men and women are welcome. “Feminist Action League exists to promote gender equality, intersectionality with multiple identities, and awareness of gender and sex related issues while advocating for policy changes at UNI.” said Brenna Wolfe, treasurer of the Feminist Action League. The next event the organization is holding is a “Women in Media” discussion relating to common archetypes and stereotypes this Tuesday at 8 p.m.

In the Sept. 15 issue of the Northern Iowan, there was one inaccuracies reported in the story “Pear Fair returns for the 21st year.” The NI incorrectly reported that the Pear Fair has taken place for 21 years when in fact, Mohair Pear itself has been a business on College Hill for 21 years. The Pear Fair has been taking place for 6 years. The NI sincerely regrets these errors.

Drilling and CAB’s Publicity co - executive Hannah Gibbs were instrumental in bringing all three bands to campus. CAB will be handing out early access passes to 16 different students. They have been posting questions on social media over the past few weeks, and whoever answers the questions correctly will get two early access passes. “If you get an early access pass, you get in 30 minutes

So, it’s going to be pretty lit.” 4 Door Theatre is an up and coming band out of Nashville, Tennessee. The band is made up of Garrett Joseph Cyr and Bipul Lama. Their music style has been described as alternative pop punk. “We brought [4 Door Theatre] up to the group and they were like, ‘Oh, I think this would mix perfectly with the Maine.’ It turns out that 4 Door Theatre is actually a real-

Trump told ABC News on Jan. 25 that construction on the wall would begin “within months.” Joana Lwin, a Burmese refugee, spoke to the crowd and said over half of refugees are children, “like me.” Lwin came to the US when she was 10 after spending nine years in a refugee camp in Thailand. “Our task is to turn our outrage into positive action,” said Kamyar Enshayan, director of the Center for Energy and Environmental Education and Iranian immigrant.

Lawther Hall set to reopen in fall SARAH RITONDALE Staff Writer

Students now have the opportunity to go online and request their rooms in the newly renovated Lawther Hall, which will reopen in the fall of 2017. After an approximately two-year renovation process, the residence hall that first opened in the summer of 1940 has now been completely reconstructed. According to Annie Karr, the assistant director of residence, the renovation’s total construction cost was close to $15 million. The once all-female dormitory is now a co-ed hall and offers several new amenities different from other dorms on campus. “I am excited to live somewhere that is not like any other dorms on campus,” said Haley Bunnell, a freshman deciding major. “Since I live in Bender Hall, I know what it is like to live in a box where everyone’s room is exactly the same. I am also excited to be so close to the middle of campus!” Lawther Hall will offer the first suite style dormitory on campus. (Panther Village and Roth Hall are apartment style complex-

es.) Although Lawther lacks the kitchen and living room aspect, most rooms will feature a bathroom. “I feel like it is a mix of the two,” Bunnell said, referring to apartment and traditional dormitory style living. Lawther will now feature semi-private and private bathrooms in some of the individual rooms. There are some areas of the building that will have a shared floor bathroom, rather than every room having a bathroom. One of Lawther’s benefits is being ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessible with the installation of an elevator and three new entrances to the building. Moreover, the building now features full air conditioning and more inclusive housing options. In addition to the new amenities, the people involved with the renovation process wanted to maintain Lawther Hall’s historical significance. “It was due for a complete renovation,” said Dave Peerman, director of residence facilities. “As our oldest residence hall on campus, a lot of people love Lawther so we want to do everything we can to stay connected to its original heritage.” Karr agreed with this sen-

timent, saying, “It has a lot of historical value to it.” Part of that history involves a ghost story. For years, the fourth floor of Lawther Hall was infamous for being the home of a ghost named Augie, the sightings of whom were first reported back in 1977. Augie has been thought to reside in Lawther’s top floor, affectionately dubbed “Augie’s Attic.” This urban legend is just one example of Lawther Hall’s rich history here at UNI. Construction workers were told to do everything they can to preserve parts of the building that have been there since Lawther Hall’s inception. Because the building was entirely gutted, they chose certain aspects to keep intact, such as the stairwell. Elyjah Rivera, sophomore English education major, spoke about the transition to the new co-ed dormitory. “I think it will be really interesting being a part of the students who are a

part of the transition from an all-women’s hall to one that is now mixed genders,” Rivera said. The price for a double room in Lawther Hall is $2,407 per semester. (The Towers and Quads are $2,237 and a two bedroom apartment in Panther Village is $3,554.) Students can log on to the Departments of Residence (DOR) website, as well as contact them to learn about the various prices of rooms and how they can contract a room in Lawther. “[The price] takes into consideration the newness of the building, the air conditioning and then just the different types of rooms that are available. There are five different pricing structures for the five different room types,” Karr said. Another factor that plays into the rooms in Lawther is that if students live in a more traditional style room rather than a suite style room, there will still be a sink in the rooms without bathrooms.

Also, every room is equipped with its own thermostat, so students can adjust the heating and cooling in their own rooms according to their personal preference. The building is open to all upper-class students starting at the sophomore level. Because the DOR is currently in their re-contracting stage, returning students that have previously lived on campus can fill out their housing contract now and select their room. Students who lived off campus, however, must contact the DOR to help them through the room selection process since it will not be accessible to those students. Bunnell said she wants to feel more connected to campus, as well as to Lawther Hall’s historical background. “A room on the fourth floor would be preferred,” Bunnell said. “Not only do I get a cool view of campus, but I get to see what all the fuss about ‘Auggie’s Attic’ really is!”

RUSSIAN HACKING Columnist says Russians did not “hack” 2016 presidential election.

February will soon usher in the official reign of UNI’s 11th president, Mark Nook, the former chancellor at Montana State UniversityBillings. With a strong showing of support, the search committee voted unanimously for the appointment of Nook. Nook beat out Neil Theobald, former Temple University president, and Jim Wohlpart, current UNI interim president. “This university has done amazing work,” Nook said during his acceptance speechin December. “Cheryl and I are very excited for this opportunity to work with you and continue that

amazing work to build this university, help support this state and to continue to educate Iowans.” Along with the search committee, many students and community members were able to give input on this decision. Chris Kennedy, senior supply chain management major, said, “I helped through the different panels that student organization leaders were invited to sit in on… given my role as the University of Northern Iowan Veterans Association president.” Jim Gorton, professor of criminology and United Faculty president said, “I think most faculty have a very good impression and I’m very optimistic about the leadership he’s going to

The Gazette also reported that Nook was the only candidate to receive higher ratings in every category from the faculty. Commenting on the survey results, Wohlpart said,

“The decision has been made, it’s a great decision. I think we’re poised for elevating the remarkable work we do and I don’t know how sharing those results helps in any kind of way.” “I saw that and take it for what it is but, if I had to attribute that to something, it would be familiarity,” said Kennedy. “Everyone’s either spoken to him or knows him, so it doesn’t surprise me. “However, it also doesn’t mean that the president selected wasn’t a better candidate by any stretch,” said Kennedy. “Overall I am incredibly pleased by the process.”

2017 Spring Career Fair | Monday, February 13 | McLeod Center | 11 AM - 3 PM

Unemployment hits new low SARAH RITONDALE Staff Writer

The Career Services Job and Internship Fair will take place in the McLeod Center on Monday, Feb. 13. The purpose of the Career Fair is to expose students to over 100 different employers. The fair is open to all UNI students: freshmen through seniors, as well as graduate students and alumni of all majors. The students who stand out are those who are prepared.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, after a tremendous spike in unemployment in 2008, unemployment held steady at around 4.8% in 2015.

According to UNI’s Career Services website, students should review employers and identify a handful of booths they want

to visit during the event before attending. By doing this, students will know what each organization does, who they may hire and why they would be a good candidate for the job. This can be beneficial to some students who are concerned about finding a job after graduation. “I am worried about finding a job […] It seems like most students that have attended UNI since their freshman year have a job lined up after graduation,” said Maria Yepez, junior marketing major. “I am especially worried because a college degree takes so long to obtain, and it is so expensive. And it would be a waste if I did not find a job in my field.”

Katelyn Mishmash, senior elementary education major, expressed similar concerns, saying, “One of my biggest concerns is everybody finding a job and not me.” Fred Abraham, head of the Economics and Finance Departments, gave his insight on another way students have a better chance on being employed after college. “I think that students that have created a good record while they’re in college – that is, they have been active on campus, they have been involved in a lot of activities, they may have had an internship or two, they worked hard in their major, they have good grades – will not have a problem finding jobs.” The unemployment rate in the US today has dropped to 5.1 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is the lowest that it has been since 2008, meaning the job market is at a particular strong point right now compared to recent years. The new Republican-led legislature in Iowa should not affect jobs so much as it might affect the economy, according to Abraham.

The Career Fair offers students a great way to help search for employment early in their collegiate career.

“Their plan is to reduce state expenditures, and that means they are reducing state employment,” Abraham said. “They are cutting back on aid to education at all levels, and I don’t think that’s good for the state economy. There is a possibility that there might be some negative effect on the state economy. That, in turn, could possibly have a small negative effect on employment.” The Career Fair is a place where employers will try to discover the best candidates for their company based on appearances and first impressions. Students

who attend should be prepared to present themselves to several employers. Visiting the Career Services website is an effective way to get help with building one’s resume, as well as to learn how employers are looking for students to represent themselves. “I am attending the career fair, and I do believe it’ll be beneficial,” Yepez said. “There will be so many employers there looking for interns, and even employment, for people near graduation. It will also be a good way to gain experience talking to employers.”
