Scavenging for awareness KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer
Despite the chilly temperature and rainy day, the sixth annual Quest to Unravel Alzheimer Scavenger Hunt took place Friday. QUASH is an hour-long scavenger hunt that took place throughout campus requiring participants to do various challenges. Anthony Peavy, junior communication major, experienced QUASH for the first time and acted as an emcee. Peavy liked the overall goal of QUASH and how it raises awareness. “QUASH helps raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer Associations. It helps students grasp a better understanding of Alzheimer disease and how it affects the minds and bodies of those with the disease,” said Alicia Hinrickson, senior public relations major. See QUASH, page 7

THEATER REVIEW
Funny as a crutch AUTUMN SEMPÉRÉ Theatre Critic
Playwright Rich Orloff ’s 2008 collection of short comedies, “Funny as a Crutch,” serves as the backbone for the UNI peer-led organization, Students Against a Violent Environment, production, “Funny As a Crutch And Other _______ Things.” The most grounded scenes were those taken from Orloff, as they explored assumptions and stereotypes regarding disability and the treatment of people who are differently abled through parody and satire. They’re well designed to
introduce challenging criticisms in a creative, entertaining and digestible way. “Just One of Those Things” brilliantly humanizes prejudice against people who are differently abled. A business executive, played by Spencer Schmidt, senior communication major, interviews a job applicant, played by Sade Butler, freshman graphic design major. Butler’s character has an anthropomorphized disability referred to as a “thing,” played by Bianca Zerwas, junior communication major. See FUNNY, page 6
