A hafla of tribal fusion JAKOB JEHN Staff Writer

Clapping and shouts of joy escaped the mouths of performers and attendees at Prairie Rose Middle Eastern Dance Troupe and UNI Middle Eastern Dance Club’s annual hafla (“get together”). The event took place in the Center for Multicultural Education on Saturday. The event started with a traditional lion’s dance, which is a form of dance in Chinese cultures in which the performers mimic a lion’s movements. The performers donned an intricate lion’s head, complete with illuminated eyes and moveable facial features. Once the lion sauntered out, the Prairie Rose Dance Troupe took the stage and performed a Greek number featuring: bright costumes, dangling chains and clinking jewelry. The sounds of their costumes matched the rhythm of the music as their hips and body danced in isolated movements. Throughout the perfor-

mances, shouts, or “zagareets,” were heard. A zagareet is an Arabic sound of joy that is used at weddings and other celebrations. The audience was then taught how to zagareet, which heightened the cultural atmosphere. A tribal fusion style of belly dance was featured as the next performers, Tribal Muse from the Des Moines area, began a skirt dance. Their outfits featured bright skirts that moved and stretched with the guitar’s plucking melody. The next performer was Shiara, a teacher, performer and choreographer from Ames. Her dancing style features musical interpretation and a creative use of body accents in her dancing. Zhanna, the next performer, also from Prairie Rose, took a modern spin on Tribal Fusion dance. Her number, performed in all black, featured dancing to the raspy vocals of a contemporary song. See DANCE, page 4

We hope you’re hungry! Maucker Union will be welcoming a new bistro: Erbert & Gerbert’s. Joining the sandwich ranks with Jimmy John’s, Sub City and Subway, Erbert & Gerbert’s will be replacing the Café Fresco, which is currently located in Prexy’s. “The change is being made to ‘refresh’ our offerings to improve our customer’s satisfaction with the choices offered,” said Carol Peterson, the director of dining at UNI According to Kim Middleton, a representative from Erbert & Gerbert’s, the company has done well with their campus bistros. “When the opportunity at the University of Northern Iowa presented itself, we knew the brand would serve the campus extremely well,” Middleton said.

Genocide: 20 years after Rwanda BROOKE WIESE Staff Writer

While genocide seems like a faraway thing to those in the United States, faculty members at the University of Northern Iowa took the time to remind students of a case that wasn’t so long ago. In 1994, there was a mass slaughter of mostly Tutsi and a moderate number of Hutu, by members of the Hutu majority in Rwanda. Pierre-Damien Mvuyekure, professor of languages and literatures, read from the second edition

of his 2006 collection of poetry, “Lamentations on the Rwandan Genocide,” as part of the ongoing Writers Talk series Wednesday. Mvuyekure mentioned that the second edition shows the passage of time from the first. The primary difference between the two editions is the addition of several poems. Many of Mvuyekure’s poems were written in multiple languages, usually French and English. However, one of his poems utilized French, Spanish, English and Latin. In an explanation, he

said that the Bible is written in multiple languages, so why not be playful? He also gave a reason for his use of both English and French. “When you are colonized and receive language and culture and everything else, you can abrogate and do away with it, or you can abrogate and appropriate your culture into the language so that [it] bares your own individuality, and that’s what I’m trying to do…” Mvuyekure said. See RWANDA, page 4

Financial literacy contest to win $25k JOSIE ROBERTSON Staff Writer

Mike Finley, also known as “the crazy man in the pink wig,” is a millionaire who created the UNI Financial Literacy Club. After his $100,000 contest, in which all cash prizes come from his own funds, the only thing people may consider crazy about him is his level of generosity. For the past four years, Finley has been teaching financial literacy classes at UNI, free of charge, to students and community members. He began giving out $100 each meeting to entice the students, hoping that if they came for the money, they would stay for the education. Finley uses “the crazy man in the pink wig” as a metaphor. Despite potentially being viewed as crazy, he encourages his students to think and behave differently from the crowd to achieve overall happiness.

If [the participants] go through the effort of studying and learning the information, they have won. No amount of money is going to equal what that financial education will do for them and for the rest of their life. Mike Finley

Financial Literacy Instructor

“One of the secrets to whatever success I’ve had is that I learned early on that I am the answer to my life. It’s up to me, and as I took responsibility. I started seeking out the answers that I needed to live a more happy and fulfilling life,” said Finley.

Finley has chosen to take an unconventional approach to teaching financial literacy, attempting to educate more than those who take the classes by holding a contest. Those who participate have a chance of winning up to $25,000. The contest, held April 29, entails a test consisting of 100 questions in the form of multiple choice and true/ false. The test also features an essay, which will be taken into account if any ties are in need of being broken. All the answers are found on Mike Finley’s website and his book, “Financial Happiness.” “If they go through the effort of studying and learning the information, they have won. No amount of money is going to equal what that financial education will do for them for the rest of their life,” said Finley. Cash prizes, starting at $1,000, will be awarded to those who answer the most questions correctly. Overall, ten prizes will be awarded,

Erbert & Gerbert’s reached out to UNI, thinking the campus’s atmosphere would fit well with their brand. “Iowa is a state with many great colleges and universities, and UNI is a leader among them. We thought that as an emerging brand we wanted to partner with a leader,” Middleton said. But what does Erbert & Gerbert’s bring to the lunch table that the other sandwich shops around campus don’t? “E&G, as both a product and a brand, has always resonated with the collegecrowd,” Middleton said. “The sandwich names and stories create more than customers, it creates a fan base. It also helps that our sandwiches and soups have unique profile above and beyond the average deli.” For Petersen, E&G’s has a uniqueness that will help set them apart from the competition. “Their products are high quality and their menu will offer the variety of sandwich choices our customers desire,” Petersen said. According to Middleton, the type of food E&G’s offers is perfect for students on the go. “Sandwiches are quick

and portable for students on their way to class, and our menu has a gourmet quality that this group in particular finds appealing,” Middleton said. With other sandwich companies located off campus, Petersen hopes that the addition will keep customers on campus. Petersen said that a college union is a place where community is built and students, faculty and staff can all come together to connect and build that community. That community which Petersen said plays a role in student engagement. Petersen also said location plays a role in the student union. Erbert & Gerbert’s has 20 locations with several sites in development. Most of their locations are in the Midwest, but they have a few locations on campuses in Oregon and Tennessee. But E&G’s isn’t the only change coming to UNI dining. “We have additional plans for changes to our retail venues here on campus in the upcoming year or two,” said Petersen. Details of these further plans have not yet been finalized. For now, we’ll just have to sit back and digest the news of a new deli on campus.

Dear republicans who cry “Jesus,” RILEY COSGROVE rileycos @uni.edu

Recently, gay rights have been at the center of a hotbed of controversy due to Indiana’s “Religious Freedom” law. Since Governor Mike Pence of Indiana signed the barbaric law into effect, which basically states that a business owner can’t be sued by refusing service to someone based on their sexual orientation, people have, for obvious reasons, voiced their concerns over this law. I am not going to waste anyone’s time talking about everything that is wrong with this law, which has since been rewritten, but I am going to tell you what is annoying about this situation. Republican proponents of this law, anti-LGBT activists and other delusional people who happen to have Internet access, have defended this law all the same. Their excuse when being called a bigot is that it is their religious right. They claim they do not hate gay people, but they do have a right to treat you as less of a human being than others, because they are Christian. That defense, “I am a Christian” is not only the most redundant defense used by the religious right, but it also doesn’t make sense. I was raised Catholic, and I do not recall ever being taught to refuse service to someone based on their lifestyle. Of course the Catholic Church has its own problems, especially

pertaining to LGBT issues, but it is baffling to me that people can justify intolerance and inequality with religion. It kind of reminds me of that group in the Middle East; you know, ISIS. Every day, ISIS harasses and kills people for being gay. Just recently, ISIS has made headlines for throwing gay men off of buildings and then stoning them to death. They have restricted the ability to obtain basic human rights for those within their grasp; in particular, religious minorities, women and LGBT persons. Just how does ISIS justify brutal killings and imprisonment of innocent people? You guessed it, religion. Okay, so maybe comparing refusing to cater a gay wedding and throwing a gay couple off of a building to their death is a little extreme, but are they really that much different if they are both defended by the purpose of religion? At the end of the day, it is just different types of discrimination backed up by the principles of a certain religion. However, some members of the religious right would probably be comfortable with the persecution of LGBT people in the name of religion. For example, after this so-called “religious freedom” law was passed in Indiana, Sen. Tom Cotton of Mississippi claimed to be “confused” by all the backlash Indiana and Gov. Pence were receiving and responded: “The gay people of America should have a better perspective, they could be living in Iran where they execute people for being gay.” Oh, okay. So now I should

be able to sleep at night knowing that although people in this country want to refuse service to me and treat me like a second-class citizen, I should be happy they are not lynching me or dragging me to the town square to be roasted? How are people like Sen. Cotton holding positions in federal office, let alone any government position at all? Obviously, this situation

upsets me, but luckily for me I do not plan on getting married, and even if I did, it would definitely not take place in Indiana. However, I do ask people who continue to voice their opposition to gay rights to please stop justifying their hatred with religion. Just be honest. You are a homophobic, judgmental bigot, who must use religion as a scapegoat for your true feelings. You hate

gay people, you feel we are ruining families and, in your worldview, LGBT people are corrupting our society and are the root of all that is evil in the world. Great, I am glad you are so forward-thinking and progressive, but quit trying to fool everyone else by still claiming to be Christian. You aren’t fooling anyone, and you especially aren’t fooling Jesus Christ.

Finding direction, mentally and physically MONICA CLARK clarkmai @uni.edu

In the past two years that I’ve worked at the Rod Library, I’ve spent a lot of time plugged into my headphones. During the time we spend processing books, checking through authority records, switching barcodes or any other projects, a lot of the student employees listen to music or audiobooks, and I’ve made quite a large dent in podcasts like “Nightvale” and “Radiolab.” I’ve put hours and hours of free podcasts on my iPod just to make sure I

have something interesting to listen to during the day. “Radiolab,” a podcast predominantly intertwining science and the human experience, is a beautiful production of documentation and crafted sound; and because the stories are entertaining and engaging, I will sometimes go weeks on end without listening to anything else. In one particular episode titled “Lost & Found,” a woman named Lera Boroditsky from the psychology department at Stanford University comes on to talk about a study she did in the Cape York Peninsula of Australia. She studied one community of people who greet each other with “which

way are you going?” instead of “how are you?” Not only are they able to keep track of compass directions in general, but they are able to pinpoint the placement and direction of themselves and others with astounding specificity. In many Western cultures, we have essentially eradicated the need for knowing which way is north, south, east, or west. With GPS systems in cars and phones, all we have to know is the endpoint — where we’re going — to be able to get there. The inbetween distances don’t matter quite as much when our Garmin GPS systems direct us through highway interchanges, roundabouts and

interstate exits. As long as we follow the instructions, we eventually end up where we need to be. Instead of relying on technology and the robotic voices of our navigational systems, I wonder if we would be able to make headway in traveling without them. Would we be able to immediately tell which way is north? Northwest? The very precise north-northwest? Would we be able to figure out directions inside without windows? Would we be more decisive and aware of our own lives if our mental headspace was as directional and purposeful as our physical space? I think we would be. With the con-

stant awareness of current position and heading direction, I think a strong connection would occur between one and the other. Not only would we be purposeful in our directions, but it would make us active in the inbetween spaces — the mental and physical spaces usually deemed boring, akin to the Iowa or Nebraska leg of the journey going westward to more interesting places. Instead of getting lost in a new place, or just going through the motions in our days, unfocused and fuzzy, I think we would be more aware. More deliberate. Less indecisive and more in tune with our mental and physical environment.

FILM REVIEW

A new type of horror JOSHUA ROUSE

Film Critic

Over the years, there have been multiple trendsetters in the horror movie genre. In the 80’s, “Halloween” kicked off the heyday of slashers, and then in the 90’s we saw “The Blair Witch Project” create the found footage style of horror movie, most recently made famous with 2007’s “Paranormal Activity.” Now we have another trend on the rise with “Unfriended,” a cybernatural horror film taking place over a multi-way

Skype call. On the anniversary of Laura Barns’s suicide caused by cyberbullying after an embarrassing video is posted, a mysterious username begins to terrorize a group of friends, all in the name of revenge for Laura. The format of the movie takes place on the desk top of Blaire’s (Shelly Hennig) computer, which is really the film’s only gimmick. Everything is shown through Skype, Facebook and other internet pages on screen. To put it simply, it’s like watching someone else’s computer

screen as they web surf and chat with their friends. It’s something never seen before, which is a big plus for the film. Overall, “Unfriended” was just okay. I went in with low expectations, and it didn’t go below those expectations, nor did it rise above them. It was exactly what I thought it would be, and that left me oddly satisfied. There’s really no surprises, no twists; just jumpscares or jarringly gruesome deaths. See UNFRIENDED, page 5

Mvuyekure also spoke of genocide ideology in one of his poems. He said that whether one believes it or not, people are accused of harboring this “genocide ideology.” He provided examples of people being locked away because of it, and described it as, “when you have a story that doesn’t fit their current storyline, then it means that you are harboring genocide ideology.” M v u y e k u r e ’ s , “Lamentations on the Rwandan Genocide” tells of stories that many have likely not heard about. Those in attendance described the event as very educational. “I am in Pierre-Damien Mvuyekure’s class, and we actually have his book for our class, so I’ve heard him read some of these poems already, but . . . I think I liked it a little better . . . this one was more fun, because he read slower and really went in-depth with his words,”

said Abbigail Larson, senior social work major. “I felt more of the feeling behind it, and it was really educational to me.” Larson said she believes Mvuyekure’s collection of poetry is important because it shows an inside perspective. “The genocide happened around the time I was born, so it was really big for me, and I even did some research . . . with the poems. It’s just so much more history,” Larson said. Maria Cortez, senior social work major, said she enjoyed the event mostly because she likes poetry, but also because this poetry was different, and it “came from the heart.” “Genocide is an important topic. As a social work major, you are taught that everybody is important no matter where they’re from; where they come from, they’re still people,” Cortez said. “I think this is something that isn’t talked about, so the world doesn’t know and doesn’t care.”

DANCE

Once Zhanna danced off stage, it was Arielle Juliette’s turn. Juliette, a professional dancer from Madison, WI, has been dancing for over 15 years and teaching her methodology for nearly 10. Her dance number featured a silky, blue cloth and entertaining movements. Helen Harton, faculty member and advisor for the Middle Eastern dance club, explained that every year they have a dancing workshop. “And after that, every year, we have an annual

show . . . where people can come and watching something they usually don’t get to see,” said Harton. The second half of the event featured everything from a traditional Arabic dance to professional, award-winning tribal fusion performer and instructor, Ayperi. Her style featured an electronic musical number. “I’ve done other styles of dance, and I really like the way belly dance is really recently kind of blossoming. Especially in the style that I do, tribal fusion is very open to interpretation and prop use. I usually

dance with fire,” explained Ayperi. The rest of the show included a water jug dance performed by the Ladies of Raqs Jahanara, a group from Ames, to the ever-popular “Uptown Funk,” infused with some tribal muse. At the conclusion of the event, Tammy Butikofer commented on her love for the event. “I loved it. My sister belly dances, and this is when we get to see her style of dance. I’ve been here twice,” said Butikofer. The event came to a close with claps, cheers and plenty of zagareeting.

UNFRIENDED

The acting is nothing spectacular, especially when a majority of the actors are shouting and getting mad at each other while the mystery Skyper threatens them with death if they sign off. It’s a little surprising that a movie like this hasn’t been thought of yet, but it comes at a good time. The tech savvy, multitasking younger generation will flock to this movie to see the next big thing since “Paranormal Activity.” Also, it touches on the theme of cyberbulling. However, there are more bad things that make up this movie than good. It’s actually a little hard to call it a movie, as nothing moves cinematically, and it’s just a single live capture of a monitor for 80 minutes. Should you see “Unfriended?” If you like the gore and jump scares that make up a majority of stale horror movies nowadays, yes. But, that’s really all there is to it. It’s just presented in a unique way.

Panthers win out as Ross throws her fourth shut out BRANDON TJEPKES Sports Writer

The UNI softball team traveled to Evansville, IN this weekend for a doubleheader against the Purple Aces. The Panthers won both games on Saturday 7-0 and 8-7. The Panthers started game one very strong, taking a 4-0 lead after the first inning. Rikki Alcaraz hit a homer, bringing her and Caitlin Wnek home to score. Chelsea Ross added another homerun over left-center field, bringing Kristin Lock home. Ross led the team with seven homeruns. Evansville was knocking on the door with the bases loaded, but Norris fouled out to first base to end the inning. Neither team was able to do much until the fifth inning. Panther Micalla Rettinger brought Julia Hunter in to score on a center field single. Ross and Lock teamed up again for another run in the sixth, with Ross sacrificing a fly ball to center field. Samantha Olsen scored in the seventh on an error to

lock in the 7-0 win. This win was pitcher Ross’s fourth shutout. Game two started like game one. Rettinger scored on a wild pitch, and Ross brought in two more runners to earn a 3-0 lead. Evansville scored their first run of the afternoon in the second inning on a sacrifice bunt. The Panthers managed another multi-run inning in the third. Kennedy Bailey hit a three-run homer to bring the lead to 6-1. Rettinger also scored Wnek on a single in the fourth to add to their lead 7-1. Evansville had two consecutive three-run innings in the fifth and sixth with the help of four Panther errors to tie the game 7-7. Alcaraz homered in the seventh to gain back the lead 8-7. The Purple Aces could not muster another run. Sunday’s game was cancelled due to field conditions. The Panthers will return home Wednesday to play the Drake Bulldogs at 6 p.m.
