Candidates VIE for Office Debate Tuesday

BROOKE WIESE Staff Writer

The Northern Iowan Student Government campaign for President and Vice President has begun. Monday, Feb. 9 marked the first week of campaigning for the only two tickets running for office, Katie Evans/Renae Beard and Jared Heitz/Tanner Barnhard. Next in line is the debate, which is Tuesday, Feb. 17 from 6-8 p.m. in the main area of Maucker Union. The debate

is not only for the President and VP candidates, but also for students running for Senate seats of their respective colleges. Nathan Davis, junior psychology major, Chief Justice of NISG and Election Commissioner for the upcoming elections, said that for the Presidential and Vice Presidential bids it’s quite easy to find information about the candidates and their platforms. They both have their own websites, which are

“extremely informative.” They also use social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. “It’s very easy to find them just by looking up their names or jumping on the NISG website, so I would say go up to the websites that they’ve made,” said Davis. “For the senators it’s a little trickier. Once the names get up there, I say do your own investigating and try to reach out to the senators within your college.” See DEBATE, page 2

The calendar has only been turned to the second page, but some may have already given up on their New Year’s resolutions. However, the UNI Health Science Club continues to promote health and well-being among the UNI community by using social media. Last semester, members of the organization dedicated their time to volunteering, specifically for blood drives said Lainie Wilhau, senior women’s health and family services major and co-president of UNI Health Science Club. Members recently decided to take the group in a different direction. The UNI Health Science Club have begun their semester-long campaign entitled “Healthy Selfie.” UNI students are encouraged to post photos via social media expressing their own version of what it means to live a healthy lifestyle. “We’re not just promoting diet and exercise, but total well-being,” Wilhau said. These photographs are to feature the students holding a paper sign that describes how they are healthy, said Wilhau. Each sign should begin with the words, “I am healthy because…” and end with an original statement. UNI Health Science Club would also like students to focus on their total wellbeing. This could include topics such as one’s social or sexual health. “Be creative, that’s what we’re going for,” Wilhau said. See HEALTHY, page 2
