Lions, Tigers and Cancer, Goodbye! Many groups and participants of this years Relay For Life, hosted by the American Cancer Society, donned attire and team names reflecting the theme: Wizard of Oz: There’s No Place Like Hope.

From 6 p.m. Friday night to 6 a.m. Saturday morning students, professors and community members walked the concourse of the McLeod Center to fight for a cure against cancer.

At the opening ceremony, cancer survivors in attendance walked the first few

laps around the concourse, then the rest of the participants joined in the night’s festivities.

Participants who wished to sign up as a team registered before Relay’s events on Friday and raised money to be donated to cancer research.

Throughout the night, various donation opportunities were available; proceeds of the night went towards finding a cure for cancer.

At the closing ceremony, Relay organizers announced how much money was donated and raised, which totaled in $62,398.53.

Students lap the upper level of the Mcleod Center to raise awareness for cancer over a 12-hour period.

Bringing Pride Week to a close, dancers tore up the dance floor at the second annual Progressive Prom on Friday.

“Progressive Prom is for all UNI students and community members to celebrate the end of Pride Week. It also gives students and community members a chance to go to prom if they missed the opportunity, were unable to truly be themselves at prom or simply relive their high school prom,” said Jak Kuder, sophomore criminology and psychology double major.

The prom was held in the Commons Ballroom and was free for anyone to attend, not only UNI students. They had a photo area, refreshment table and a dance floor. This year’s theme was ‘Decades.’

Ed Gallagher Jr., known as an attorney, philanthropist and most notably as a purveyor of the fine arts on UNI’s campus, passed away April 5 at the age of 89.

According to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, Gallagher had suffered a fall and had been hospitalized earlier in the week.

Gallagher and his wife, Cathy, along with Carl and Peggy Bluedorn, donated a naming gift to the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center in the spring of 1999. The center cost $23 million to construct, according to the GBPAC website, and was funded 50/50 by state and private funds (with approximately 1,400 private donors across Iowa).

His death occurred one day shy of the 15th anniversary of the GBPAC’s official opening in 2000.

“I think most people will tell you that what they like most about him is that he was a doer. The giving was part of it, but really what he did — I think — is he challenged you to go further … And not always comfortably! But always, always, always valuably,” said Steve Carignan, executive director for the GBPAC. Carignan knew Gallagher both professionally, through the GBPAC, and personally, as a friend.

They would often converse while walking their dogs.

Carignan said that Gallagher had always had an intense passion for music, and was musically talented himself.

ED GALLAHGER

continued from page 1

Gallagher, a member of the U.S. Navy in WWII, served on a destroyer as a lookout.

As a form of entertainment, the other crew members on lookout would ask him to sing to them through communication tubes, known as voice pipes, because he had such a lovely Irish tenor voice, Carignan said.

He was also an ardent supporter of the WaterlooCedar Falls Symphony Orchestra, which, some have said, sparked his interest in the possibility of a performing arts center for the Cedar Valley in the first place. He wanted to find a home for the local symphony that, for many years, had been performing at West High School or the old Young Arena in Waterloo — in addition to other motivations.

Gallagher and his family frequented the Symphony’s performances at the GBPAC, and one could often find the Gallagher family in the stage right, Mezzanine-level box.

Jason Weinberger, director of the WCF Symphony, said that Gallagher was particularly fond of piano music and was adamant about the orchestra performing

Rachminov piano concertos — very famous piano pieces.

He would often ask the director to play one of the pieces and was elated when the Symphony obliged his

request a couple of years ago.

“That was special for me as a musician, and as a friend of his and a colleague of his, to be able see to his musical passion where maybe a lot of other people saw him as a lawyer or a philanthropist or a community guy. It was just great to see that sort of inner musical joy come out whenever we talked about that stuff,” Weinberger said.

The WCF Symphony remembered Gallagher and others close to the orchestra at a GBPAC performance on

NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | MONDAY, APRIL 13, 2015

Saturday. They played Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” as a remembrance piece.

Perhaps Gallagher is best remembered at UNI for his donation of approximately $1 million (according to the Rod Library’s website) to the construction of the GBPAC. However, in addition to that, he also funded a professorship on campus, according to the Courier, and donated $500,000 to the Mcleod Center, according to the Rod Library’s website.

“I think in a way, their [Ed and Cathy’s] example, you know, for their family and for others; that’s really probably the most important contribution that they made, rather than any specific monetary or civic project that they were working on,” Weinberger said.

“He was a member of that Greatest Generation. And as we lose those folks, we need to take a moment and look into ourselves, and maybe find a little bit of what they had in us. Because we’re going to carry on that world that they helped build,” Carignan said. “And while they weren’t perfect, they certainly created the place we live in. And we have a responsibility to create a place for the next generation.”

Stars, galaxies and infinities JAKOB JEHN Staff Writer

Infinite space and time was brought down into Lang Auditorium this past Wednesday as Jennifer Wiseman, Hubble Space Telescope senior project scientist, presented, “Galaxies, Stars, Planets and Life: A Bountiful Universe.”

The NASA scientist started her presentation with a seemingly normal picture of the stars. Wiseman explained that not everything is as it seems, then zoomed in on one particular star, only to reveal that it was actually a massive cluster of thousands of stars. She explained that, with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope, we are able to see within the stars. Wiseman showed the audience an example of a galaxy that most closely resembles the Milky Way. The astonishing pictures of galaxies are thanks to the constant maintenance and upgrades of the Hubble Space Telescope.

Wiseman began to explain how the Hubble actually takes pictures in black and white, and the use of special light filters give us the breathtaking images. Recent updates to the massive camera in Hubble have allowed scientists such as Wiseman to peer inside celestial bodies like nebulas, which are masses of gas that are slowly condensing into stars. With the use of infrared technology, NASA is able to peel back the mysteries of how stars form.

Not only did Wiseman dem-

onstrate how stars are created, but she also gave the audience pictures of how stars are destroyed — an example of this is a supernova, or an incredibly large explosion of a star.

Growing up is a hard thing to do APRIL 13, 2015

MONICA CLARK clarkmai @uni.edu

I think I am like many students almost done with their undergrad: I really don’t want to grow up and be a full-fledged adult. I don’t want to move from “home” to “somewhere else.” I don’t like going through all of my things, trying to make room for new objects and ideas in my life. I hate paying taxes.

And bills. And vehicle repairs.

I know I’m being whiny and annoying and everyone who is a pro at “adult-ing” will say, “Everyone has to grow up, and this is just a part of life.

Suck it up,” and I agree with them. I’m just sulking.

I’ve also been extremely lucky and grateful that I’ve had such a supportive family who have helped me financially and emotionally through college — however, it’s just made stepping out on my own all the scarier.

I feel like I have two parts of my personality and identity fighting each other. On one side, there’s the fun-loving kid wanting to act silly and stay

up all night watching movies, then wake up late the next morning to watch cartoons.

On the other side, there’s the cynical, sarcastic adult, worried about her future, watching old episodes of “Orange is the New Black.”

I still love the same shows and movies I watched as a kid; super sugary cereal, playing with chalk and bubbles, going to playgrounds and sliding down shiny slides as well.

But many of my passions and interests over the past few years would not have interested me when I was younger such as global warming, reading non-fiction travel books and eating vegetables.

Even though I’m slowly transitioning into becoming

a full-time adult with real responsibilities, I’m desperately clinging to childhood.

This really isn’t a new idea — wanting to stay young forever — but I’m still hung up on a couple things: Why can’t we participate in children’s activities and children’s forms of expression for the rest of our lives? Why do we have to be so serious all the time?

I’ve come to the stubborn conclusion that we can, and we don’t.

Certainly some of the world is in partial agreement.

ComicCon is made for kids and adults alike. So are animal onesies, jelly shoes and Winnie-the-Pooh backpacks.

The problem comes with social judgement. I would not, for instance, be able to go out shopping wearing my red panda onesie without receiving strange looks. Similarly, if I worked at a fancy office, and I came in sporting a bright yellow Pooh backpack, I guarantee I would get more than a few raised eyebrows.

These “childish” things are okay for 6-year-olds, but our society deems them unacceptable for a 22-year-old.

Judgment accompanies the expression of these “childish” obsessions. But why?

THINKSTOCK

Columnist Clark is embracing her childhood pastimes before graduation.

Is it unprofessional? Eyecatching? Juvenile? Why can’t I work as a CEO wearing a bright pink unicorn dress?

Or work at a literary magazine sporting bright blue hair and “Captain America” Converse Chuck Taylors? It seems to be that the outward expression of these interests or obsessions equates to not taking things seriously, and the more serious the job, the more serious you have to dress.

There’s certainly a difference between acting childish and expressing “childhood” interests through clothing and accessories. If dress codes at work require formal

wear, fine. Just let me wear a dragon dress if I want to. I would still be serious about my job, I just wouldn’t be wearing “serious” clothing (because come on, dragons are awesome).

I just question the ways in which we have to grow up. It’s one thing to sacrifice hard-earned money to pay for not-so-enjoyable things, but it’s another to give up on expressing all the fun and uniqueness that came so natural during our youth. It’s just really heart-breaking to have to throw some of that away as an adult. I just want the fun to stick around for a while.

Haunted by missed opportunities, don’t miss out GABE GRAVERT

gravertg @uni.edu

I look back at my life, though it is only 20 years, and I see so many missed opportunities that would have changed my life drastically. I look back and see missed chances to change what I am passionate about: golf. Would golf have been my passion if I started earlier? I could’ve been the best golfer Albia, Iowa (population of negative one ever since I left) had ever seen.

I write about this now, because I have recently been hooked on watching spoken word videos. I am actually frantically writing this trying to meet my deadline, because I have been watching spoken word videos non-stop for a couple of days.

What if I had chosen to focus on poetry during my elementary years? Could I have been on one of the videos I am watching right now? How could my life have been different? What if I had chosen to go to college in a different state? Would I still be the same person I am today? I always ask these questions, because I

I think that it is important to reflect on your life and look at the opportunities that you missed. am afraid of my future. So I look back on my past and how I could have done better to make my future less scary.

Many people may tell you that you shouldn’t look at your past and imagine how your life could have been different, because there is no use in doing so. I disagree with this view. I think that it is important to reflect on your life and look at the opportunities that you missed. This will help you make decisions for the rest of your life.

It is like why we study history in schools. It is to make us learn from the past so we know what worked and didn’t work. It is importnt to look back at your own life as well, to see what worked and what didn’t. It is difficult to tell whether or not your decision was smart, because you don’t know how your other choices might have turned out.

nities, but we also have opportunities that we took, and now we are reaping the benefits.

Like choosing a great college to go to, or joining an organization where we made great friends. Sometimes I wish I

would have taken advantage of more opportunities, but then I remember that I am living a pretty good life as it is.

If you look over this without reading it you will notice that there are a lot of “I’s.”

What I want to know is what your missed opportunity is?

How could our life be different if you took those oportunites?

FILM REVIEW

Horror film follows cult classics JOSHUA ROUSE

Film Critic

“Friday the 13th,” “Cabin in the Woods,” “Evil Dead” and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” are among the dead meat teenager flicks that have become cult classics.

“It Follows” injects into that same vein and draws out a nightmarish horror film that could stand tall back in the day of these low budget pulse pounders.

It stars Maika Monroe as Jay Height, a girl being stalked by a curse-like entity

that follows its victim until it catches and kills them. The curse is passed on by having sex with another person, explains Hugh (Jake Weary) after having a very intimate date with Jay. If she were to die, the entity would pursue its previous target once more.

From the beginning of the movie, there is an unsettling vibe that never goes away.

The main reason for this is not only the entity showing up in the background when you least expect it, but also the old school horror film techniques that keep up the

chills, even when the entity isn’t on screen. The synth heavy score is consistently creepy and gives an otherworldly feel to the atmosphere. Also, the movie is shot in the abandoned neighborhoods of Detroit, which creates even more of a lonely, dream-like atmosphere. It then turns into an inescapable nightmare when the entity appears.

Another aspect that punctuated the dream-like timelessness is that it didn’t seem to match up with a timeline.

The movie spanned time with

a mix of modern, 70s and 80s scenery. The setting, clothing, cars and décor of houses were key details of the movie, which was an intriguing sight for the eyes. None of the styles clashed with each other.

It all oddly melded together.

However, “It Follows” is not without its imperfections.

While Maika’s performance as Jay is wonderful, the rest of the characters are flat and cease to grow. Some of the workings of the entity are a little confusing and never explained.

Overall, it does what a good

horror movie is supposed to do. Rather than just containing gore and jump scares, the presentation of the monster in the movie is smart and suspenseful. With the creepy soundtrack and timeless atmosphere, “It Follows” is a well-made movie in general.

With more ups than downs, it’s certainly worth a watch.

After all, who goes to a horror movie for character development anyway?

RELAY

eant. Students who wished to participate in the Mr. Relay pageant had to sign up before the night’s events and were informed about a set of three challenges they would have to partake in.

Austin Hanson, junior comunication major, won the Mr. Relay pageant and was awarded a trophy.

Luminarias were on sale for $5 for participants to buy, decorate and later light up around the concourse. At 8:30, the Luminaria Ceremony took place at the main stage, led by a faculty member and a UNI alumna, sharing their struggles with cancer.

Soon after, Relay organizers had participants light up their Luminarias;

all participants were invited to walk laps in memory of those who lost their lives to cancer.

“I have loved people who have passed away because of cancer. I found this as an opportunity to support people and [the] fight against cancer,” said Allison Eckhoff, senior early childhood and elementary education major.

“I tried to engage with different organizations in the community, I found that Relay for Life is a good event to attend and participate in to support cancer survivors and caregivers,” said Mary Chicoine, junior financial management and real estate double major.

At Relay, ongoing activities such as Jumbo Jenga and Checkers, a photo booth, four-sqaure, bean bag toss and a silent auction helped keep participants busy in addition to different challenges and games at every half-hour of the night.

“I want to help people and [the] community to fight cancer. I love to get involved on campus, especially to these unique events such as Relay for Life,” said Jacquelyn Knustrom, sophomore communicative disorders major.

Brooke Colvin, 18, from Waterloo attended with friends from UNI. She said that the theme provided some guidelines of what to wear and made the event more comfortable.

“You could tell everyone was just there to have fun and spend some time

with each other,” Colvin said.

Once the music began, dancers flooded the floor.

Over the course of the event, many songs were played and sung by the crowd. The DJ played a variety of genres and took requests throughout the night.

“Progressive Prom is important to UNI, as it

Panthers split double header BRANDON TJEPKES Sports Writer

The UNI Panthers softball team hosted three games against the Bradley Braves this weekend.

The double header was split on Saturday as the Panthers won the first game 5-1 but dropped the second 3-7.

Pitcher Chelsea Ross started off really strong as she struck out all three batters in the first inning. Ross finished the game with 10 strikeouts. The game was scoreless until the third when UNI’s Rikki Alcaraz hit a double to bring Caitlin Wnek home.

Kristin Lock added to the lead with a three run homer in the fifth inning to make the lead 4-0 in favor of the Panthers. Samantha Olson hit Macey Wolfe in on a single in the sixth to add some more breathing room. The Braves were able to finally score at the top of the seventh, but it was far too late.

The Panthers came out on top 5-1.

The Panthers started the second game early as Kennedy Bailey hit in Alcaraz in the first inning to gain the 1-0 lead. The Braves ended their scoreless spell in the fourth inning with four

runs on five hits. They were not done as they added three more runs in the sixth to extend their lead to 7-1.

Wnek and Anna Varriano scored in the sixth inning to gain some momentum before the seventh, but it was not enough. The Panthers fell

3-7.

The third game was all Bradley. In the second inning, Bradley’s Shannon King hit a homer, sending her and Caitlyn McCarron home for a 2-0 lead. Errors began to plague UNI as they led to more runs for Bradley.

One error contributed to two opposing runs in the fourth inning, and another allowed Bradley to score in the sixth inning.

UNI was in a rut as they were down 8-0 heading to the bottom of the sixth. Ross finally scored with a homer

to bring her and Wolfe home.

Their last chance was the seventh inning, but runs from Alcaraz and Lock were not enough. The Panthers fell 4-8.

The Panthers will travel in-state to Des Moines to play Drake on Tuesday.

The UNI Track and Field athletes traveled to Lincoln, Neb. this Saturday to compete in the Husker Spring Invitational. Both the men and women’s teams finished fourth overall and proudly came home with a few records as well.

The Panther women placed in a number of running events to kick off the invite. In the 400-meter run, Darian Samuelson took first with a time of 55.79 seconds.

Alex Wilson fought for first in the 800, but fell to second place with a time of 2:10.93., and a mere one second difference between her and the first place runner.

Taking both first and second place in the 400-meter hurdle were Panthers Holly Salzbrenner and Jennifer Roberts with times of 1:02.20 and 1:03.00, respectively.

The Panther men and women both took third in

their 4x400 meter relays as well. The lady Panthers finished with a combined time of 3:49.92. The men fought for the relay’s title, but ended 0:00.70 away from the leading North Dakota State team, with a finish time of 3:20.08.

Sophomore Brandon Carnes found his personal best time in the 200, earning first with a time of 20.80.

Competing in the 100 as well, Carnes took second with a time of 10.59.

UNI found their fourth first place in the men’s triple jump with Shawn Koch’s total of 15.05m.

On the field side of the meet, Justin Baker claimed second with his 58.44m hammer throw. Throwing for the women, Jamie Lindstrom threw her personal best hammer throw with a distance of 52.57m.

Coming up, the Panthers will head to Los Angeles, California to compete in the Mt. Sac Relays this Thursday through Saturday April 16-18.

1. Think seasonally — Parks & rec departments, amusement parks & camps usually staff up for summer.

2. Pound the pavement — Local businesses may not advertise online. Apply in person when possible.

3. Contact past employers — Even if your old job isn’t available, some employers will find a position for the right worker.

4. Check university job boards — A part-time job during the school year may extend into the summer if you can stay after the semester wraps up.

5. Consider a new market — Don’t rule out jobs in your hometown, even if you’re used to staying at school for the summer.
