MADNESS

Ready, set, speech

JOSIE ROBERTSON Staff Writer

Due to its size, UNI is often considered the underdog, regardless of the activity. For the UNI Speech and Debate team, it has been a long road to the national tournament, but the team has made it.

The UNI Speech team has been traveling once or twice per month to competitions throughout the year. The team has placed within the top three at several tournaments, qualifying for nationals.

While there are a few different national tournaments, the UNI Speech team set their eyes on what is considered to be the most competitive national tournament, held by the American Forensics Association.

Nationals will take place April 3-6 in Portland, Ore. To prepare for the tough competition ahead, the team has been practicing often, including long hours put in on the weekend, said Hunter Thompson, senior communication major and UNI Speech and Debate team member.

“The team has been researching, writing and performing their topics and events over the past eight months, so over these next two weeks, in addition to the public showcase, we’ll be doing a lot of practicing and polishing of their speech and acting events,” said Joshua Hamzehee, communication studies instructor.

The UNI Panthers, Missouri Va l l e y Conference champions entered the NCAA Tour nament as a No. 5 seed. They dropped their first opponent, No. 12 Wyoming, 71-54. The win over Wyoming set the school record for most wins in a season with 31 victories.

The Panthers were spot on scoring-wise as they had five players reach double figures. Paul Jesperson led the Panthers with 16 points.

The bench was a big factor as they contributed to 41 of the Panthers’ 71 points.

The Pa n t h e r s came out swinging as they used a 10-0 run to give them an 18-9 lead with 13:05 left in the first half.

Wyoming started to catch up with the help of Charles Hankerson Jr., who made three 3-pointers to cut the Panther lead to 29-19 with 5:50 left in the half. The first half ended with a buzzer-beater three from Hankerson Jr. The second half started off strong for the Panthers as they

used a 13-3 run to give them some much-needed breathing room.

Wyo m i n g ’ s Nance Jr. took over as he put 1 2

straight points on the board to cut the lead to 50-37 with 12:25 left. Jesperson and Washpun teamed up to bring the lead to double digits and would not let Wyoming within ten points again.

The ne xt opponent for UNI was No. 4 Louisville, who brought the Panthers’ incredible season to a close with a 66-53 win.

The game was a defensive battle as both teams came with top 20 ranked defenses.

Louisville’s defense was the largest factor of the game as they made the Panthers turn the ball over 10 times and kept them to 39 percent shooting. Terry Rozier III was too much for the Panther defense as he put up 25 points and seven assists.

In an interview with WHOTV 13, Coach Ben Jacobson said he knows how good his team really is.

Villains, heroes and all in between KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

UNI’s Rod Library will kick off its version of Comic-Con, RodCon, this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The idea for the event was conceived when Anna Hollingsworth, a history graduate student, went to a panel at the Burlington Public Library in Burlington, Iowa about starting a convention at your own library.

Hollingsworth has been collaborating with Rod Library staff to prepare for the upcoming event. “[It’s] a mini ComicCon to bring together the university and the Cedar Valley community in a celebration of comics and pop culture and libraries,” said Hollingsworth.

Melissa Gevaert, a library assistant, hoped that participants would take away from the experience that, “comics aren’t just fun, but they’re also educational and that really there’s something for everyone.”

This will be the second year that Rod Library is hosting RodCon, and it has grown from what it was last year. For example, there will be twice as many artists this

year.

“Last year it was a lot of the same things, but I think that we learned last year that we had a lot more kids than we expected,” said Linda McLaury, the Rod Library Access Services Coordinator.

It’s really exciting to see people walk in the door and realize we’re not what they expected.

Melissa Gevaert

Rod Library Assisstant

In addition to making RodCon more kid-friendly, those that produced the event made sure it didn’t lose its university friendly appeal. McLaury said that the convention would play “to the academic part of our lives as well as the kid part of our lives.”

Aside from the artist alley, there will be panel presentations, trivia, tabletop and video gaming, kids and adults costume contests, a photo booth and many other activities. There will also be demonstrations from the UNI Sword Fighting

Club and a fashion show by the textiles and apparels department.

“It’s really exciting to see people walk in the door and realize we’re not exactly what they expected. It’s not the quiet, boring place that you would expect a library to be. They get to come in and have all this fun and experience new things,” said Gevaert.

Students and the community can give back during RodCon, since the library will be holding a comic book drive as well. They ask for gently used, youth appropriate comics that will be donated to the libraries and classrooms of the Waterloo and Cedar Falls Community School Districts.

Gevaert encourages all to attend, even if they are unsure of the event.

“We have things to really cater to everyone’s interests. Plus, we have a lot of free comics that have been donated by different comic book publishers and it would be a waste if we didn’t get to give those to the community,” said Gevaert.

For those unable to attend this year, next year’s RodCon has already been set for April 2, 2016.

Spring break ends in tragedy for UNI student AMBER ROUSE Exectutive Editor

Over the spring break week, UNI lost a member of its family.

Jay W. Dykstra, senior business major, passed away while in Las Vegas.

“Jay is the most out-going, kind-hearted, energetic and hard working man I have ever met in my life,” said Andy McDermott, a close friend of Dykstra’s who graduated from UNI in December with a degree

in business management.

The two worked at Peppers Grill and Sports Bar together.

Dykstra, who was graduating in May, recently accepted a full-time position at Aerotek in Hiawatha.

Dykstra was from Denver, Iowa and loved football, baseball, softball, hanging out with friends, family, his girlfriend, Shae, and his dog, Mila, McDermott said.

Public visitation will be held Friday, March 27 from 4-7:30

p.m. at Kaiser-Corson Funeral Home in Waverly, Iowa. Funeral services will be held Saturday, March 28 at 11:30 a.m. at the St. Mary Catholic Church in Waverly, Iowa.

“I miss and love Jay so much,” McDermott said.

McDermott said Dykstra died as a result of an accident, but no further results were available.

It is unclear if alcohol was involved. There is no more available information at this time.

Hamzehee is also the UNI Speech and Debate team advisor.

According to Thompson, the UNI Speech and Debate team has consecutively appeared in the AFA national tournament the past five years. In terms of ranking, the team has consistently placed 10th the last three years, and he expects nothing less next month, noting the exceptional year they have already had.

“While every team has a unique set of skills, I think the momentum and experience we have built over the past three years will really be beneficial for a team that has a lot of talented junior and senior members who have already won plenty of national awards and recognition,” said Hamzehee.

At winter nationals, held this past January, the team placed third overall.

In terms of size, the UNI team is considerably smaller than those they compete against. This year, the team had 11 members qualify for nationals. This sets them apart from the rest, said Thompson, as the team plans to win over the judges with the quality of their work rather than the quantity of members.

Hamzehee stated that the team’s award-winning speech and acting performances relate to many topics discussed in classroom and issues that our society faces as a whole. The team plans to continue to present these topics in innovative, engaging, and entertaining ways said Hamzehee.

The speech showcase, held Wednesday in the Mauker Union Ballroom, is the last event on their calendar until nationals. The team members must wait until the awards ceremony to find out if this season will be their best yet.

We need more female analysts GABE GRAVERT gravertg @uni.edu

While home on spring break, I was sitting and watching the ISU vs. Kansas game on EPSN with my friend and his family. During time-outs and in between quarters, reporters would try to get some answers out of coaches about how they are feeling and what they are thinking, which has become very common in today’s game.

I was just sitting there, not really noticing whether the reporter was female or male, when a family member of my friend commented on the dress the reporter was wearing and implied that women shouldn’t be reporting on men’s sports.

This just made me sick to my stomach, because I have three older sisters who know more about sports than a lot of the men I know. My sisters could tell you whether a team is consistently playing a cover 2, 3 or if they are playing man coverage; whereas some of my male friends don’t know the difference between a 3-4 and a 4-3.

That statement got me thinking, how many female analysts are there in today’s sports world? Now, to define an analyst and better under-

stand they what they do; sports analyst provides expert discussion of sports-related topics before, during or after a sporting event.

Once I got home I went on the internet and found a list of ESPN analysts. Among that list of ESPN analysts I found one female, Doris Burke, who is an analyst for NBA and College Basketball.

Many of these misogynistic arguments for women not becoming analysts for men’s sports rely on the idea that they never played the game, so how could they possible analyze it.

My first thought: that is the most ignorant argument anyone could make.

I recognize that most male professional athletes are stronger and faster than female professional athletes. I’m not trying to say they should be able to play together, because men and women are not the same, physically. My point is that although they may be different physically, there is no difference in their mental capabilities for sports analysis.

There are multiple male analysts who never played sports in college or high school, such as Chris Broussard, John Clayton, Andy Katz, Mel Kiper Jr., Todd McShay, Chris Mortensen, Adam Schefter, Digger Phelps and Dick Vitale. They never played a single minute of col-

In athletics, women are criticized for being analysts. As columnist Gravert points out, women do know as much as men when it comes to plays, scores and other stats.

lege basketball, but their analyses of the game are taken as gold. The reason that these analysts are taken seriously is because they have dedicated their life to studying the game; that doesn’t take physical talent.

It has become the norm for women to be seen as sideline reporters, co-host a studio show, or read highlights at an anchor desk. Yet, whenever people see or hear women doing an analysis of last night’s game, they don’t actually listen to what they are saying. They just complain about hearing a woman’s voice during men’s

sports. They actually don’t come right out and say that they don’t like the sound of a woman’s voice. They come up with different excuses for their discomfort.

They say that she is inherently incapable. An analyst spends hours talking, chatting and discussing sports and sports-related things. If anyone can spend hours talking about something, then I think it would be a woman. I don’t see how men can think that women can’t love and respect the same game that they do. There is no chromosomal gene that makes a woman less capable of talk-

ing about others kicking, catching, shooting, or throwing a ball.

Another excuse is that she is butting into my “bro time.”

Men, get over it. Men have no right to exclude women from a game that is loved by all humans.

I believe that we shouldn’t only let women into the conversation about sports, but we should encourage them to give their input. Also, when they do give their opinion and analyses, then we should listen and take it into consideration, because they are just as capable as men to give their analyses of sports.

How studying abroad changed my life RILEY COSGROVE rileycos @uni.edu

During the Spring 2013 semester, I got the chance to do something I had long dreamed of. I was privileged enough to study and live abroad in another country. For over four months, I lived in Dublin, Ireland while studying Film and Journalism at Dublin Business School. So far, these were the best four months of my life.

This jaunt would be my first time ever out of the United States, and before this I had only been out of the Midwest twice in my entire life. Leading up to my departure date I was so excited but so incredibly nervous.

What if I didn’t make any friends? What if I didn’t like my roommates? What if something bad happened at home while I was gone and I was unable to rush back to the States? For a 20 year-old boy from a rural town of roughly 1400 inhabitants, I felt these

were natural feelings.

My parents dropped me off at the airport in Omaha, Neb. as I began my journey. Many people have studied abroad for a semester to a year with friends or someone familiar to them. I, however, was completely alone.

As I went through security and made my way to the gate for my connecting flight to Chicago, I started to sweat profusely and a rush of anxiety came over me. Here I was by myself, about to board a flight that would take me the furthest away from home I had ever been. No one to rely on, no one to help me get to my next plane, no one to talk to and make fun of the rude flight attendant with, nothing. I felt like a fish out of water.

Looking back on my worries prior to my departure it actually makes me laugh. Why was I so worried? The experience that I had during my time in Europe couldn’t have been any better.

DBS was welcoming and made me feel very comfortable.

I was able to meet incredible professors and staff members

that made a huge impact on my academic success. Within my exchange program at DBS there were 24 fellow Americans from all different parts of the United States, some of which I became and still am very close

I am a kid from smalltown Iowan who could not believe where I was standing. with.

I was also able to live in a separate complex than the rest of my American friends and this gave me the chance to meet other exchange students from around mainland Europe and the rest of the world.

The five other roommates I shared a townhouse with were each distinguished individuals who taught me so much about European culture, the world in general and even helped me better myself as a person by pointing out all of my American flaws! (Thanks again you guys)

My favorite part of this whole experience was seeing places both in Ireland and mainland Europe that I had only ever dreamed of being able to see: getting to travel around Ireland and visit the country that my father’s family had lived in until the late 1800’s; as a Catholic, being able to travel to Rome and visit the Vatican; traveling to London, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Munich, Paris and so on, I never thought I would see half of these places in my life, let alone at the age of 20.

The last place I visited during my time in Europe was Paris and it was when I first arrived at the Eiffel Tower that the full realization of everything I experienced finally occurred to me.

As I stood at the foot of the Eiffel Tower tears welled up in my eyes. I was at the Eiffel Tower. I am a kid from small-town Iowa who could not believe where I was standing.

Out of all the experiences and benefits I received during my time in Europe, it was the personal growth that I still

cherish the most. I arrived in Dublin a confused young boy, and left as a confident, intellectual man. It really did take being out of my home country, being with people from completely different backgrounds, and seeing different cultures in action to truly realize my place in the world and the impact that I hope to make on others.

My advice to anyone thinking about studying abroad is to do it, but if you are going to do it, do it 100 percent.

Go on this journey alone and allow yourself to be out of your comfort zone. Be brave enough to be confident in yourself that you will be okay without any familiar faces to help guide you. Sure, you might have a minor panic attack in the Omaha airport bathroom, but the personal growth you, as an individual, will experience is more valuable then any souvenir that you could bring home with you.

Shot glasses break and pictures fade, but this experience will have an everlasting impact on your life that no amount of Euros, Pounds or any other currency could buy you.

Exploring creative majors KAYLEEN TURNIS Staff Writer

UNI student representatives of “creative” majors gathered for “Student 2 Student: Majors for Creative Types.” The event was held in front of the Book Bistro in the Rod Library Tuesday evening.

Janessa Boley, grad student in post-secondary education: student affairs program, helped with the event.

Boley, along with advisors David Marchesani and Heather Asmus, were able to hold the event with the help of Rod Library.

“We have great upperclass students who are willing to volunteer their time for an event like this and are excited to share more about their major and what they do,” Boley said.

It was a “come and go” event with students speaking one-on-one with upper classmen about the creative majors on campus and experiencing hands-on equipment to get a better insight of what the major has to offer and find out more about what goes on in a classroom setting.

“This event is important for anyone who is interested in the ‘creative types’ majors, anyone who is in the process of exploring their major or

anyone who is looking to add a second major or even a minor,” Boley said.

The event was open to freshman to seniors. The 10 majors involved included: English, art, theatre, electronic media, textiles and apparel, music, interior design, graphic design, graphic technologies and interactive digital studies.

Each major had a table with one or two upper-class representatives.

Collin Cahill and Sarah Scherrman, senior interactive digital studies majors, said their goals for the event were to explain their major to students, explain what they do in the program, what opportunities are available for students and networking.

Cahill and Scherrman said that networking is a huge aspect of creative majors, interactive digital studies especially. Cahill said that creative majors are consistently “very collaborative.”

Emily Lynch, junior textiles and apparel major, represented her table solo.

“I love the creative outlet of my major. I want to share it with students and want them to be inspired by it as well,” Lynch said.

Lynch said she believes that “Student 2 Student: Majors for Creative Types” is vital and beneficial to

showcase each of the majors.

“It’s important to see our projects and see what the major is really about, rather than just having a conversation about it,” Lynch said.

Madeline Achen, senior theatre major, said the event was a way to explain specifics about her major to people.

“It’s hard to reach out to people sometimes and show people how great the major can be,” Achen said.

Achen said her goal for the event was to inform more about theatre. Achen wanted to explain the wide array of career paths and opportunities a theatre major could take.

Marchesani, assistant director in the office of academic advising, works primarily with first-year students.

“We are hoping to do more events like this because they are a great way of getting students connected while talking to other students and gaining a true connection with people,” Marchesani said.

FILM REVIEW

Neeson in action JOSHUA ROUSE

Film Critic

In recent years, Liam Neeson has made a name for himself in action movies. While none of these are fantastic movies (I’m looking at you, “Taken” sequels) there is always something that is done well enough to make them watchable, besides being entertaining popcorn flicks.

“Run All Night” tells the story of former mob enforcer, Jimmy Conlon (Neeson), who is still haunted by all those that he’s killed, and is trying to connect with his son, Michael (Joel Kinnaman), who has excluded Jimmy from his life due to all the murder and crime he committed. But after a runin with the wrong crowd, Michael has no choice but to trust his father, who fights to protect him from Jimmy’s old boss and close friend Shawn Macguire (Ed Harris).

And that’s really all I can say about the plot with-

out giving too much away.

Granted, this is a B action movie, so there’s nothing too deep about it. However, it is engaging to watch how the plot starts to unfold, connecting these characters spread out over New York City. I am a sucker for Neeson action movies, so I always go into them with the expectations of a fun, dumb action movie but when the characters and plot are handled as well as this, it gets bonus points.

While the connected character plot is fun to watch, the best part of “Run All Night” is the relationship between Jimmy and Michael and how it is perfectly foiled by the relationship between Macguire and his son. It is a very real relationship that is believable and acted out on screen pretty well.

The movie has some moments developing the friendship between Jimmy and Shawn, giving it a good bit of character writing.

See ACTION, page 5

NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 2015

CAMPUS LIFE

PAGE 5

ACTION

continued from page 4

There is a surprising amount of heart going on between the main characters, and that makes “Run All Night” all the more watchable because you care about what will happen to Jimmy and Michael, whether they’ll get killed or if Michael will trust his dad again.

Apart from all the shooting and fistfights expected from an action movie, there are a couple of pretty fun fight scenes sprinkled throughout the movie. But as said before, the main characters are done very well.

And I emphasize “main” characters, because there are a couple side characters that fall flat or into typical action movie staples and don’t compare to the father/ son relationships at the forefront.

Do I recommend “Run All Night?” If you’re a Neeson fan, yes. While not his best movie, it’s certainly not his worst. If you’re not a fan of Neeson but still want to see it, there’s a decent-at-best movie here. Your time won’t be wasted.

“We have a team that’s good enough, on another day, to maybe win this game,” Jacobson said.

“Because of the things they put into it, we got a really good team.”

Even though the Panthers were knocked out early in the tournament, this season was one of the best seasons in school history. Their record of 31-4 marks the most wins in school history. For seniors Seth Tuttle, Deon Mitchell, Marvin Singleton, Nate Buss, and Max Martino, this was a season to remember.

For power forward, Seth Tuttle, senior sports psychology major, this was his last chance to win a title.

UNI wrestlers Cooper Moore & Blaize Cabell were defeated in the NCAA Tournament, but each can hold their head high after very successful seasons.

ZACH HUNTLEY Sports Writer

As the winter season comes to an end, so does the Panther’s wrestling season.

To officially close out their year, UNI competed in the NCAA tournament this weekend in St. Louis, MO. Although they didn’t place top 15 in the tournament, UNI had two Panthers that made it into the hunt for finals.

Panther sophomore Cooper Moore from Ada, Okla. was a two time qualifier this year in the NCAA tournament. After

making it into the next round, No. 13 Moore fell to the No. 5 and No. 10 wrestlers in the 165 lbs. weight class.

This season, Moore earned his place as UNI’s second wrestler to win two consecutive MAC titles. Moore started strong by winning his first 10 duals of the season and only fell in one of his MAC duals.

Blaize Cabell has been a heavyweight powerhouse for the Panthers this season and he too was a two time qualifier for the NCAA tournament.

Ranked No. 7 in the NCAA,

Cabell was put up against the No. 3 and No. 2, and fell to both Friday night.

As a junior this season, Cabell was the only Panther undefeated in dual competitions, with the second most dual points in UNI history at 57. Cabell took second at the MAC Championships and went undefeated until then.

All Panthers put in a great effort this season, with other records broken beyond Moore and Cabell. Training will begin soon for next year, as the Panthers look to improve in their upcoming season.

The University of Northern Iowa Women’s basketball season came to a close over spring break.

The team fell short of extending their season to the second round of the WNIT at the hands of the Missouri Tigers in the McLeod Center.

UNI held a lead early in the game, leading by as much as seven, before Mizzou took over towards the end of the opening stanza, giving UNI a fourpoint deficit at the break.

In the second half, the Panthers kept clawing away at the lead, but Mizzou had an answer for each run.

The visiting Tigers owned a 10-point lead halfway through the second half, but UNI remained composed and fought back.

A pair of free throws from Madison Weekly cut the lead to just three, but Mizzou was able to hold

on for a 69-61 victory.

Statistically, the two teams were almost identical except for one category, rebounding, which Mizzou owned an 11-rebound advantage.

UNI lead in scoring by 15 points of the bench from Stephanie Davison. Weekly tossed in 14 points and four assists, while senior guard Brooke Brown finished her career with 11 points.

UNI finishes the season 17-15. Look for the Panthers next year, however, as they return to this season’s young talent. They will look to build on their winning record and avoid the injuries that plagued this tough team over the course of the season and take the next step.

* UNI’s 17-15 record makes for the sixth consecutive winning season.
