This month, creativity is on the rise for one student organization on campus. The week before spring break, Uprising magazine published its second issue, featuring articles about fashion, local musicians and more. With 20 to 25 members, the organization says they have put together a magazine for students, faculty, staff and community members to enjoy and learn more about culture. “It brings something new and different that you wouldn’t actively pursue on your own,” said Kara Keigan, senior textiles and apparel major and editor-in-chief of Uprising magazine. “Even if you are not actively pursuing fashion [for example] I think people still enjoy looking at nice photographs, like cool fashions.” The magazine was founded by students and for students who wanted to express their interests in fashion, music and culture in a creative way. By publishing their work, readers have the opportunity to learn more about local artists, enjoy fashion photos and ultimately see the work and creative capability of fellow UNI students.

The UNI women’s basketball team won two games of the NCAA tournament before losing in the third round to the University of South Dakota. They lost 51-50 to the Coyotes.

After earning a spot in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (NIT), the UNI women’s basketball team were defeated in the third round. The Panthers lost to the University of South Dakota on Thursday night, 51-50. Just after winning the regular season conference cham-

pionship, the Panthers entered the MVC tournament as the No. 1 seed. They went by Bradley and Southern Illinois to make the MVC championship game. The Panthers were defeated by Missouri State, 71-58, for the ticket to the NCAA tournament. The Panthers’ season was extended with their bid to the tournament. Their first opponent was set on March

17 in Lincoln, NE to play the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Panthers managed a five-point lead after the first quarter, but the Cornhuskers came back for a 28-25 halftime lead. The Cornhuskers kept ahead through the whole third quarter. The fourth quarter began with a 41-35 Cornhusker lead. The Panthers nearly doubled their points on their way to a 64-62 victory.

John Fisher, senior mathematics teaching major and music director for Uprising, shared what the music section had learned from the previous issue.

“We learned [what] we wanted to be...it was a step in the right direction,” Fisher said. “We wanted to become even more underground in our focus.” Fisher explained how the section wanted to shed light on students or local artists

who do not usually get a spotlight when they produce or perform music, and he felt that they had accomplished this goal. The featured artist in this issue is Will Boelts, a UNI student who records music in his basement, does not perform live and plants his CD’s around town. “He is a very talented, original artist who like...literally underground,” Fisher said. Along with reaching their goals in terms of the articles in the magazine, the group itself has become stronger. Keigan explained how the group members have learned to work and run more efficiently. “This issue we tried to focus more on pairing off into three groups of just three or four and having just them focus on one group,” Keigan said. “So, I think we learned how to, like, utilize each person better and move more efficiently as a group.” Tyler Grimm, senior textiles and apparel major and creative director for Uprising,

VOLUME 112, ISSUE 45

On terror: Europe needs to step it up Europe needs to step it up. First, let me state the obvious, the United States of America is not the world police. It is not the responsibility nor the goal of the U.S. military to be involved in every fight despite what some Neo-Liberal politicians like Hillary Clinton or Marco Rubio believe. However, it is important that when our military does fight, we know what we are fighting for and why. Unfortunately, it seems that the European nations fundamentally do not understand this, and as a result continue to suffer terrorist attacks.

The attack in Brussels is the direct result to the lukewarm response to ISIS and the crisis in the Middle East. Currently, the European Union is doing nothing to address radical Islamic terror, has no plan for eliminating it or how to properly manage the Syrian refugees. If anything, it’s almost as if they are waiting for America to do something about it so they do not have to be responsible. The terrorist attack in Brussels was not caused by a lack of American intervention, but a lack of European one. European nations are obviously weary from the Iraq war, I understand that. Many Americans are as well. However, the Iraq War was started for absolutely no reason against an enemy who wasn’t truly our enemy based on lies from the Bush

has been attacked, so has Paris, a Russian Airliner has been brought down, 14 people were killed in California, all because of ISIS. Unfortunately, because of the timid actions of European leaders such as Angela Merkel, the conversation isn’t how we are going to defeat ISIS, but if we should at all. Instead of striking a balance away from the George W. Bush School of Interventionism, our allies have gone in the opposite direction. They are so afraid of a long conflict that they aren’t willing to dedicate the appropriate resources to either national security or foreign fighting forces. As long as they continue to do so, we will continue to see similar attacks in Europe. Sad.

Sorry, you don’t have the right to vote The declining influence of the delegates

Personally, I’m considering not voting this election (and possibly future elections). “But Kyle, you have to vote! Every vote matters!” Do they? Dear reader, I’m going to tell you exactly why your vote does not matter. It never has, it never will. Your right to vote is simply a privilege and nothing more, and it can be taken away at any point. All we have is the illusion of choice. Listen in, children; I’m going to tell you why. Let’s set aside all of our hatred for our Republican front-runner, Donald

Trump. Trump, as of right now, has a total of 739 delegates, more than the other two runners combined. It’s very possible that he will be the Republican nominee. Or will he? It’s not very hard to find interviews or speeches given by Republican officials expressing their disdain for Trump. But some official hate him so much that members of the Republican National Convention (RNC) are saying that if Trump wins the delegate count that they, the RNC, will instead choose a different candidate as their nominee. That’s right. Even though the general majority of the population wants Trump as the nominee, they will basically be given the middle finger by the higher-ups. In fact, Curly Haugland,

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Rekemeyer considers the Republican party to be effectively trying to deter Donald Trump from being the party’s nominee.

National party conventions –– once climactic events where delegates often wheeled and dealed in smoke-filled rooms to choose the presidential candidates –– are now little more than expensive pep rallies. Who the Democratic and Republican candidates will be has already been decided through state primaries and caucuses before the convention, leaving the delegates merely to formalize the choices of the voters.

Rise of state primaries

Defining the delegates

How Democrats choose delegates

How Republicans choose delegates

• Delegates are usually local political leaders, party activists or long-time supporters of a candidate

• Pledged delegates Most are selected through primaries, the rest by caucuses; any primary candidate who gets at least 15 percent of the vote receives a proportional number of delegates

• Pledged delegates Most are selected through primaries, the rest by caucuses or state committee; delegates are allocated either proportionally or “winner-take-all”

• How they are chosen varies by party, by state and sometimes by congressional district • At their conventions, each party has the final word on delegate selection, deciding which delegates to seat • A final list of delegates, their campaign affiliations and their voting record at the convention is public

Delegates selected through primaries

• Superdelegates High-level party members and elected officials (governors, members of Congress, etc.); do not have to declare their choice of candidate before the convention

• Number of delegates each state has is determined by a formula that takes into account the state’s population, number of Democratic voters in previous elections

As a percentage of total delegates Democrats Republicans

• Wanting to limit the power of political bosses and increase the power of the people, Progressives advocated state primaries

• Unpledged delegates Members of the Republican National Committee • Number of delegates Some states allot delegates to each congressional district, others to the entire state; each state also has 10 at-large delegates and three for each representative in the House; bonus delegates are awarded if Republicans won the state in prior elections

• Before the Progressive Movement in the early 20th century, delegates were chosen by caucuses or by party leaders

2008

• By 1912, a dozen states had passed primary laws allowing for direct election of delegates (usually a slate of delegates pledged to a candidate), a presidential preference vote (voters choose the candidate of their choice), or both • In some states, only the party’s registered voters can vote in the primary (closed primary); other states allow any registered voter to participate (open primary)

The Democratic and Republican parties use what is considered by some to be a complex delegate process. Rekemeyer says these processes are in place to provide the illusion of the right to vote.

RNC rules committee member, gave a phone interview for CNBC in which he directly stated on-air, “The political party chooses their nominee, not the general public, contrary to popular belief.” Yes, it was just admitted that your vote does not matter. It makes you wonder what the point of even holding the primaries is. But what happens if none of the candidates meet the delegate count to be nominated? Well, I’m glad I’m here to tell you! Let’s say neither Trump, Cruz or Kasich are able to meet the 1,237 required delegates for nomination. What happens then is what is called a brokered convention. Essentially, at these conventions, all of the delegates so far are “released”

from their nominee and are all put together in a pool of free delegates. At this point, the delegates are free to side with whichever candidate they choose. So yes, a once Trump delegate could now become a Cruz delegate. If a brokered convention happens, then that would mean 150 million voters (assuming half of Americans are Republican and most of them participated in the primaries) have now been reduced to a few thousand. That’s a lot of votes that suddenly don’t matter. Isn’t it ironic that the party most concerned with having our rights protected (mainly the 2nd Amendment) are the ones telling us that our votes don’t matter? And don’t think that it’s just the Republican party

either. The Democrats, though a main part of the name stems from “democracy,” seem to be the exact opposite. The reason: superdelegates. Superdelegates are the biggest reason why if you vote Democrat your vote really isn’t worth more than bucket of sand. Superdelegates are delegates from the Democratic National Convention (DNC) that can choose who they want to vote for literally any time they feel like it. And there are 747 of them. So, hypothetically speaking, let’s say that both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton had approximately the same amount of normal delegates, but for the sake of argument, let’s say Sanders has 150 more del< See VOTE, page 5

For those looking for a pop of pop culture in their lives, Rod Library will be hosting their 3rd annual Rod Con next Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Rod Con is a mini Comic Con which, according to Rod Library staff member and one of the coordinators of the event, Linda McLaury, tends to draw in people interested in comics, art and pop culture. The event has been a popular destination for students and community members over the last few years with free admission, and

McLaury hopes they will surpass last year’s attendance of 2,000 people. Some of the activities planned for this event include: video game and board game rooms, a photo booth, “Artist Alley” (which features art from local artists), guest speakers and presentations that feature people like famous Iowan comic artist Phil Hester, a trivia contest, a card game tournament, “kid zone” craft area and an Artemis bridge simulation where students can pretend they are the bridge officer of a sci-fi ship. Other events include a demonstration of Belegarth

A costume contest will be held at Rod Con, but participants are not required to dress up. The event is free and open to the public.

Tips for FINDING SUMMER HOUSING

from the UNI Swordfighting Club, two “escape rooms” will be set up where students have to solve puzzles and beat the clock to escape and a Half-Masted Improv Group performance. Even the Batmobile will cruise around by the Campanile. Attendees may also participate in a costume contest. “Nobody is required to dress up, but if you do, you won’t be alone!” McLaury said. One of the things that McLaury is especially excited about is the amount of people helping put on the event who are either a part of the UNI community or people originally from Iowa. McLaury shared that Deborah Whaley, author and professor at the University of Iowa, is coming to talk about her book, “Black Women in Sequence: Re-inking Comics, Graphic Novels and Anime.” Professor Harry Brod’s honors seminar class, “Graphic Novels: Narrative Art and Sequential Storytelling” will be presenting their research. Wendy Miller’s class “Issues and Theories in Art Education” will have a table to discuss their projects. “Even our poster for Rod

As you start preparing for your summer housing situation, consider these helpful tips:

1. Search online — Check out housing websites like Craigslist or PadMapper for housing options available to rent or sublet. 2. Do your homework — Thoroughly inspect the place before signing a lease. 3. Review the lease before signing it — Ideally, you’ll want a month-to-month lease. Closely review security deposit refund rules. 4. Find responsible roommates — It’s not important that you live with your best friends. It is important to live with people who pay their rent and their half of the utilities on time.

Rod Library’s third annual “Rod Con” will take place April 2. 2,000 people attended last year’s convention.

Con was created by Molly Watson, a student in the UNI Art Department,” Miller said. “It’s just such a great event to highlight all the great things UNI and the Cedar Valley have to offer.” The reason the event can provide such a large amount of activities for free was made possible with a grant from the UNI Diversity Committee and from a Reaching for Higher Ground grant. The popularity and abundance of activities has not gone unnoticed either. Last year, Rod Con won an award from the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) for innovation in College Librarianship award for the event. Along with the Rod Library staff, students have been working hard as well in hopes for another successful Rod Con. One of these students is junior graphic design major, Bailey Davison, who is on the planning committee for Rod Con. According to Davison, there is a lot of preparation

that goes into this event. Planning starts in the fall, several months before the big event. After picking activities and potential guests, they begin figuring the costs and applying for grants in hopes they will be able to execute these plans. “Rod Con is a free convention that’s open to the public, so we always need to find money before we can put our plans into motion,” Davison said. And although a lot of work goes into the production, according to history graduate, Anna Hollingsworth, the final product is well worth it. Hollingsworth was initially the person who pitched the idea to start Rod Con three years ago. She’s been a supporter of the event since its launch and thinks all the hard work that the Rod Library staff and students put in shows. “Rod Con is just a lot of fun, right here at home,” Hollingsworth said. “I usually travel for conventions, and some of them aren’t half as fun as Rod Con.”

Talking science and religion over beer SYDNEY HAUER Staff Writer

UNI Freethinkers and Inquirers (UNIFI) held their monthly Pint with a Prof event at the Octopus bar on College Hill on March 24 at 4 p.m. The event consisted of a lecture and question and answer-based discussion with two UNI professors. The topic at hand was “Religion and Science: Friends or Enemies,” which sparked considerable discussion among those in attendance. UNIFI had previously explored this topic somewhat in their annual Darwin Week event, which was held in early February. Steve O’Kane of UNI’s biology department and Jerry Soneson of UNI’s philosophy and world religions department were the two professors who presented the lecture and led the discussion. “The purpose of the event was twofold: to provide discussion and an interesting topic meant to educate, while also maintaining a relaxed environment for the audience,” said Oliverio Covarrubias, junior psychol-

ogy major and member of UNIFI. “It’s not often you get to have a beer with a professor. The change of environment is also nice, because you get a different crowd and a different mindset.” The lecture covered topics such as the links between religion and science, how each subject comes with its own distinct worldview and how the two are very compatible while also being very different. The professors also discussed how the Enlightenment came to be, as well as how the intellectual movement shifted the focus from religious objectivity to subjectivity. “Science can help religion and religion can help science. They can be good friends,” Soneson said. In the lecture, he spoke at length about how religion and science are schools of thought that actually impact one another. Soneson also explained how religion can often be viewed as wrong and has historically had to change over time to survive. O’Kane and Soneson agreed on most topics but still differed on certain

viewpoints. Many students in attendance similarly shared their own opinions and asked the professors questions related to the topic throughout the event. “ W h a t ’ s interesting is the jovial nature in which two professors condensed a thousand or so year argument between science and religion and PHIL ADAMS/Northern Iowan even referenced Professors Steve O’Kane (Biology) and Jerry Soneson (Philosophy and Religions) how they are discussed the compatability of science and religion for the most recent “Pint with a Prof.” probably just as wrong as past thinkers,” Covarrubias also commented about his experience.

egates than Clinton by the time elections come around. That should mean that he wins the nomination. Not if the superdelegates have something to do with it. Potentially all 747 superdelegates could then side with Clinton, putting her over Sanders with about 500 more delegates. So, even though the majority of the population wanted Sanders to become the nominee, the DNC basically said, “Nope, maybe

next time. You people had your fun, but we’re the ones that matter.” And if you’re thinking I’m joking, here’s an actual quote from the DNC chair, Debbie Wasserman Shultz: “[Superdelegates] exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists.” Essentially, they choose the nominee, not the general public. That sounds awfully familiar. So my advice to you, dear

voters, if you still think your vote matters, go right ahead. Do what makes you happy. Participate in the caucuses and the primaries and the election in November if you feel like you’re doing a service. To quote the late George Carlin, while you all are out voting, “I will be at home doing essentially the same thing as you. The only difference is that when I get done masturbating, I’m going to have a little something to show for it, folks.”

Can the Warriors break the 1995-1996 Bulls record?

The Warriors are on another level this year, often being compared to the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls. A team that featured Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Steve Kerr, who, oddly enough, is the coach of the Warriors.

The Bulls have the record for most wins in a season, and the Warriors are poised to break that. Now, some have said that the ’95-’96 Bulls would have destroyed this years Warriors. The stats may tell a different story. At the time this was written, the Warriors are 64-7. The Bulls were 63-8. In the Bulls’ final 11 games of the season, only five of those teams had more wins than losses. They won four out of five, beating their opponents by an average of 17 points. The loss came at the hands of division rival Indiana Pacers, losing 10099. Their only other loss in this 11-game stretch came from Charlotte Hornets. At 64-7, the Warriors also need to win at least nine games to break the record. In the Warriors’ final 11 games, their opponents have a combined record of 418370. The most notable teams they have to play are the San Antonio Spurs (60-11), the Memphis Grizzlies (4131) and the Boston Celtics (42-30). Let’s look at some stats to compare these two teams. In

of the fourth quarter. The Bulldogs scored five points within the last ten seconds, but it was not enough to cancel the 64-58 Panther victory. While three Panthers scored over ten points, the main aspect of the game was Sharnae Lamar’s 15 assists. Lamar had recorded 189 total after their victory for the most in a UNI single season. The Panthers then travelled to Vermillion, SD on March 24 for their Sweet 16 match-up with the South Dakota Coyotes. The Coyotes scored a 5-2 run to take the first lead of the game. The Panthers answered with a 9-0 run for the 11-5 lead. The Coyotes took back the lead with less than half the quarter remaining. The lead changed three times before a Jen Keitel jumper ended the first quarter, 19-18. Neither team was able to put up any points during the first three minutes of the second quarter. With a Coyote drought, the Panthers increased their lead to 25-20 thanks to inside points in the paint. The Coyotes cut the lead to 27-24 to bring the second quarter to a close. The Panthers kept the lead for most of the third

quarter, but the Coyotes remained close behind. Weekly’s five points kept the Coyotes at bay until two minutes remaining in the quarter. The Coyotes took the lead twice, but Keitel’s tip in ended the third quarter with a 37-37 tie. The fourth quarter was filled with never-ending madness. 10 lead changes and two ties made was the result. The Panthers gained a 48-45 lead with 4:38 remaining thanks to a Davison layup and two Weekly free throws. The Coyotes remained stingy as they scored a 6-0 run to take the lead. Davison scored with 42 seconds remaining, but it was not enough for the 51-50 Coyote victory. Keitel and Davison led the Panthers in scoring with 19 and 13, respectively. This was the last season for seniors Amber Sorenson, Lamar, Davison and Keitel. Sorenson set the school record with 97 three-pointers and ranks second in UNI history with 228 total. Lamar ranks No. 7 in school history with 346 assists and No. 8 with 125 games played. Davison ranks No. 6 with 127 games played and No. 16 with 2,917 total minutes played.

Steph Curry has led the Warriors to an NBA-leading 64-7 record. The Warriors are still on pace to finish with the record for most wins in a season.

If you have paid any attention whatsoever to the NBA this year, chances are you have heard of Steph Curry and his Golden State Warriors.

Madison Weekly and Jen Keitel led the Panthers in points with 22 and 15, respectively. The Panthers returned to Cedar Falls on March 19 for the round of 32. MVC rival Drake was the second opponent. The Bulldogs scored the first two points of the game, but a three by Weekly quickly turned it around. It looked like the Panthers were going to dominate the game as they ended the first quarter, 15-9. The Bulldogs kept the game exciting as they were within five points for the entire second quarter. They retook the lead with 2:38 remaining in the half before the Panthers ended it, 24-23. The third quarter was filled with lead change after lead change. Drake took the lead right away with a layup, but a Stephanie Davison three retook it for the Panthers. Drake tied it up twice before the Panthers ended the third quarter with a layup from Davison and a 45-39 lead. The Panthers dominated the rest of the game as they maintained around a ten-point lead for most

points per game, the Bulls averaged 105 points per game. The Warriors have 115 points per game. In team field goal percentage, the Bulls shoot 47.8 percent, the Warriors shoot 48.7 percent. In team rebounds per game the Bulls averaged 44.6 and the Warriors average 53.9 rebounds. In assists, the Bulls had 24.8 per game and the Warriors have 29.1. The Bulls were a much better defensive team than Golden State, giving up only 92.9 points per game whereas the Warriors have given up 104.1. Team leaders for Golden State: Steph Curry averages 30 points per game, and Draymond Green leads the team in rebounds with 9.6, and assists, with 7.3. For the Bulls, Jordan led the team in points with 30.4, Rodman led the team in rebounds with 14.9 and Pippen led the team in assists with 5.87. From these stats, the game really would be a toss up. Personally, in just one game, I would go with the Warriors. But in a playoff series, I think I would go with the Bulls. In the playoffs throughout

his NBA career, Jordan averaged 33 points per game, 5.7 assists and 6.4 rebounds. Being the investigative journalist that I am, I went on YouTube to find simulated NBA 2K16 games, showing these two teams facing off. I am going to preface this by saying that the uploader is Shady00018, and the game was 12 minute quarters. In this first game I watched, Golden State was home, and it was a nail biter. In a game that came down to the final seconds, the Bulls snuck out of Oracle Arena with a 118-117 victory. The player of the game was none other than Jordan with 45 points, nine assists and one rebound. Now, just to be sure, I had to find one more game with the Bulls at home to see who won. In this final game, the uploader, OMGItsBirdman2, for whatever reason, only did six minute quarters. But nonetheless, the Warriors won this game, 65-58. Team Leaders being Harrison Barnes with 19 points and Jordan with18 points. Will the Warriors break the Bulls’ record? It will sure be fun to find out.

LOGAN WINFORD/Northern Iowan

Sharnae Lamar dribbles left to find some open space. Lamar finishes her career as No. 7 in UNI history with 346 assists.

Keitel ranks No. 4 in blocks (106), No. 9 in rebounds (681) and No. 12 in points (1,082).

The Panthers finished the season with a 24-11, marking the second-most wins in UNI history.
