Walking the plank in Iowa JACOB MADDEN Staff Writer

FILM REVIEW Film reviewer has nothing but praise for Tarantino’s “Hateful Eight.”

CAMPUS LIFE PAGE 5

The Iowa Caucuses are right around the corner and many UNI students will be caucusing for the first time on Feb. 1.

One man, Justin Scott, member of the Freedom from Religion Foundation, is hoping to open the dialogue separation of church and state and its impact all kinds of hotbutton issues.

Such as reproductive rights.

“Getting to these caucuses also supports women’s reproductive rights as well – the right for women to seek reproductive care without someone’s religion being pushed on them. These are not exclusively atheist issues.”

Scott is working as an advocate to get the issue of separation of church and state on planks this election season.

Scott, who is also a secular activist with the Iowa branch of the Secular Coalition for America, went on to explain that a plank is a list ideas that a cau-

cus-goer would like to see the party support or not support.

It is sometimes referred to as a list of resolutions and is used to influence the party platform going forward.

The Secular Coalition for America is nonprofit organization that voices the concerns of the non-theistic community, Scott said.

Scott emphasized the importance of student involvement in the caucuses.

“I want students to be engaged in the political process;

you don’t have to be atheist, agnostic, or anti-theist to advocate for the separation of church and state,” Scott said.

Scott has reached out to UNI’s secular group, UNI Free Thinkers and Inquirers in the hopes of partnering with them in his mission to secularize caucus planks.

UNIFI was unable to be reached for a comment on the partnership.

Beck’s or bust SPORTS PAGE 6

A young man head-butted and broke a window at Beck’s, a bar on the Hill, Saturday evening.

According to Stevie Bachelder, a Beck’s employee who was one of the first to respond to the incident, the man was intoxicated, waiting in line and was attempting to intimidate some UNI football players.

“Yeah, so a guy came up

and head-butted our window from the outside,” Bachelder said. “That’s all that happened.”

Bachelder was unable to confirm if charges were filed or the costs to replace the window. The break was approximately three feet tall and one foot wide.

Bachelder did say the man was injured and an ambulance was called.

“Yes, this is the strangest thing I’ve seen while working at Beck’s,” Bachelder said through a smile.

The break in the glass is evident once inside Beck’s Sports Grill. Approximately one-fourth of the window was broken (left). The outside of the window is covered by large slats of plywood. The window was damaged from the outside and the shattered glass has since been removed (right).

Panel talks criminal justice SHELBY WELSCH Staff Writer

On Wednesday Jan.20, close to 30 people attended a non-partisan criminal justice reform panel at Seerley Hall. The panel was hosted

by UNI’s Students for Rand organization.

Criminal justice reform is a central issue for Rand Paul’s campaign. According to the Students for Rand Facebook page, “non-violent ‘criminals’ keep our prisons full, police violence is a hot-button topic around the nation and the torch of individual liberty is being smoldered by a broken justice system.”

The panel of experts included two students, an ex-felon and a criminology professor.

Discussion at the event focused on kinks in the U.S.

PHILIP ADAMS/Northern iowan

Criminology professor, Keith Crew, speaking at the non-partisan criminal justice panel hosted by Students for Rand at Seerley Hall on Wednesday

criminal system and the injustices that felons face, as well as opinions on how to fix these problems.

The event kicked off with a video of one of the panel members, Trent Keller, and the experience he had with Rand Paul when he visited Keller’s barber shop, the Hairport, on Dec. 5, 2015.

The video included a conversation between Paul and Keller, in which Keller told his story of getting arrested for drug possession as a young man and the unfortunate consequences he still

faces years after the fact.

Paul told Keller in the video that he will do what he can to eliminate these disparities, even if he doesn’t get elected as president.

Paul wrote to Governor Branstad and explained why Keller should have his rights restored in order to eliminate the negative stigma that can follow a felon for the rest of their lives--especially when they are a remarkable citizen, which according to Paul, Keller is.

Keller came up to the stand during the panel and spoke of his personal injustice. He spoke about how although he got in trouble once, he served his time, never got arrested again and became a community role model. Yet, he still had to deal with the loss of rights and disparities that being a former felon involves.

“Think before you act,” Keller said. “You might think the people you are hanging out with are the coolest guys around, but when it’s time to go to jail, you are all by yourself.”

Another panelist was criminology associate pro-

fessor, Keith Crew. He spoke of ways the criminal justice system could improve, specifically stressing the need for officers to have a four-year college degree, a change in tactics and training and preparing officers for diversity challenges.

Crew also spoke of the stigma felons get stuck with after one arrest and how unfair that judgment can be.

“Some people who go to prison are really no different than you and me,” Crew said.

“I even did things when I was younger that could have gotten me arrested.”

The other two panelists were graduate students in communication studies, Samuel Harris and Jarael Madyun. Harris made a point about how jail time is supposed to be your punishment and questioned why should felons continue to get punished after release.

“Voting rights are a simple American value, and it isn’t really fair to take that away,” Harris said of convicted felons losing their right to vote upon being locked up.

Madyun also expressed

the importance of college students and community members being knowledgeable in the court and criminal justice systems.

“It’s the people not [at this panel] who need to hear about this,” Madyun said.

“We need to create an outlet to reach more people and educate them.”

Although this panel focused on criminal justice, it was hosted by Students for Rand. The president of the organization, Johnathan Fossum, explained how this event related to Rand Paul’s campaign.

“Rand Paul is a different kind of candidate,” Fossum said. “And criminal justice is an issue that Rand talks about.”

Fossum also discussed the success that Students for Rand has had thus far, and how he is very happy about the support they have received by students. Fossom said Paul is the only republican candidate represented at UNI, so he finds it important to spread the word through programs like this.

in outlets such as the Huffington Post recently when he questioned Marco Rubio’s recent Iowa ad that had a religious focus. Scott, filming the question, asked Rubio if he was running for “Pastor-in-Chief.”

Rubio rebutted that everyone had a right to believe, or not believe, in whatever they wanted. Rubio did, however, reiterate the core of his Christian values message to the room.

Scott also commented on a Ted Cruz rally he attended where the small crowd was excited by Ted Cruz’s pro-religious message. After the room was opened for questions, the crowd reportedly fell silent as Scott introduced himself as an atheist voter and asked Senator Cruz how he planned to address and support the atheist or non-theistic voters in the country.

“Atheists have a saying: keep your theocracy out of our democracy,” Scott said.

According to their official website, the Secular Coalition for America was founded in 2002 after Herb Silverman, professor of mathematics at the College of Charleston, ran for governor of South Carolina and was denied the position because he did not assert a religious belief. Silverman called for the unification of non-theistic groups under a single purpose and what followed was the founding of the Secular Coalition for America.

Voters that would like to submit planks by the Secular Coalition for Iowa should email Scott at iowa@secular.org.

These planks can be altered to each voter’s liking to be more specific about certain issues.

Scott said the goal of the Secular Coalition for Iowa is to start a statewide dialogue on the importance of the separation of church and state, as well as other secular issues.

“By submitting these planks, which will be discussed by voters, county party leaders and the leaders of the state parties, we hope to positively influence the process by which the state parties develop their party platforms,” Scott said.

VOLUME 112, ISSUE 30

Trump has plan for income inequality This piece is in response to a column published in the Northern Iowan January 14th, 2016 titled: “Five irrelevant issues in Donald Trump’s speech.”

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is nothing short of a miracle. The multi-billionaire, real estate mogul, reality TV star has enjoyed commanding lead in the Republican primary ahead of the Iowa caucuses. He has captured the anger and dissatisfaction Americans have with their elected officials, and, unlike his Republican rivals, he draws from a wide pool of voters including conservatives, moderates and liberals.

However, his campaign is drawing fire, not just from Democratic primary candidates, such as Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, but also from the staunch conservative magazine the National Review, as well as British Parliament.

Because Trump has both the “Establishment” right and left trying to defeat him, much misinformation has been spread about the candidate or what issues he talks about. For example, the Northern Iowan published an opinion piece on Jan. 14 of this year. The

author claims that Mr. Trump “did not address income inequality, nor did he utter the words.” As someone who has been following Donald Trump since the beginning of his campaign, watched many of his rallies (attended two) and watched all of the debates, I can assure you that one of his biggest talking points is income inequality.

A candidate like Bernie Sanders will utter buzzwords like income inequality, blame Wall St. and call it a day. Mr. Trump, however, dedicates sections of his rallies to why we have income inequality rather than just simply stating that we have it. The following are three major points he touches on during his rallies that have caused income inequality.

1.) China manipulates its currency. According to the World Bank via Wikipedia, China grew from the world’s 9th largest economy in 1970 to the second largest in 2015. Its currency should have inflated along with that change, meaning middle class Chinese citizens gaining wealth and buying foreign goods along with more balanced trade.

However, because China has devalued its currency multiple times, it has kept Chinese citizens poor, kept jobs in China, encouraged more investment in China and encouraged China’s geographic and economic rivals

to follow suit. How can we fight income inequality when China is preventing good paying, manufacturing jobs from returning to the United States and preventing their people from being wealthy enough to buy the good we do produce?

2.) Corporate Inversion.

Because of the complex U.S. tax code, extra employee costs, like Obamacare and cheap college educated employees abroad, corporations are not only moving factories overseas but headquarters as well.

How can we solve income inequality when businesses are moving the white collar jobs away from America along with blue collar ones?

3.) Legal Immigration. The H-1B work visa is reserved for “specialty occupations” that require college education and highly trained skills. It is a method for the United States to seduce high-quality foreign labor from their native countries. However, tech businesses like Disney use these H-1B Visa workers to replace (more expensive) American workers.

Why pay an American STEM grad a decent salary when you can import one, pay him less, and if he doesn’t like it, deport them?

Income inequality cannot be solved when businesses are unwilling to hire native college graduates, especially those who put in the time to get more difficult degrees such as STEM.

IRIS FRASHER/Northern Iowan

GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at UNI Jan. 12.

Columnist Slaughter says Trump has a plan for income inequality without relying on the buzzwords: “income inequality.”

At the same time, we have illegal immigration.

Stereotypically, we think of Hispanics being the gardeners, the maids and the construction workers. However, before the 1970’s increase in illegal immigration, those jobs were primarily worked by black Americans.

Illegal immigration is one of the contributing factors to the large amount of black unemployment and underemployment in this country. We cannot solve income inequality when we have foreign nationals illegally residing in this country and taking jobs from the most vulnerable

minority group.

Trump has always been focused on income inequality as these are all issues that need to be addressed and are very important to the country.

Just because he does not state the words does not mean the issues he mentions are not the causes of the problem. We cannot possibly focus on other issues such as climate change, the mission to Mars, or defeating the Islamic State unless we solve income inequality.

The only presidential hopeful who is tackling the causes of income equality rather than the symptoms is Donald Trump.

SWS guest column: find balance this semester Each new year brings an opportunity for new beginnings. The same can be said for each new semester during your journey through college.

As you reflect upon the fall semester, perhaps there are aspects that went well and others that did not go so well.

For one student, course grades may have been great, but personal well-being may have suffered due to lack of sleep, stress and little time for personal fulfillment. Another student may have primarily focused on fun, social aspects of college life and grades suffered.

Take a moment to think about the fall semester and reflect upon these questions: What went well? In what areas would you like to see improvement? What have you learned about yourself (strengths and limitations)?

What changes would you like to see for the spring semester and who can support you in accomplishing these changes?

As you ponder these ques-

tions, keep these three words in mind: wellness, balance and journey.

Student wellness is an important component of academic success. Holistic wellness encompasses more than focusing on the physical body alone. While this is one important piece of the wellness puzzle, it is also essential to focus on the aspects of mind and spirit. College is the perfect time to begin exploring the vast spectrum of wellness: emotional, social, financial, spiritual, intellectual, occupational and environmental.

For college students, wellness-related choices and decisions may manifest in daily life through relationships, coursework, nutrition, substance use/abuse, jobs, involvement, self-identity, stress, sleep, time-management, internships/career-preparation, etc.

This may seem like a lot of “stuff.” There is, however, one key… finding your balance.

Balance is personal and

individualized. Balance is a process, and much like wellness, it is ever changing and truly a life-long journey, not a destination. As the great Maya Angelou said, “All great achievements require time.”

As you begin this new year in your life, and new semester at UNI, why not invest some time in the opportunity of creating a greater sense of balance in your life so that you achieve a greater level of overall wellness. Consider the previous questions and merge your answers with the brief concepts of wellness and balance outlined here. What are your opportunities and what would you like to see look different in your life?

Once you determine the areas in which you would like to see growth for the purpose of heightened wellness and balance in your life, the next step is setting some goals.

Keep your goals S.M.A.R.T.: specific, measurable, achievable, results-focused and timebound.

Also, who is the best person or resource that is going to support you?

This could be a family member, friend, partner or countless resources at GRATISOGRAPHY.COM your fingertips on the Student Wellness Services reminds us that finding UNI campus. balance, while it may be difficult, is essential to academic If you have success and holistic wellness. not done so already, If you would like to visit download the free UNI one-on-one regarding anymobile app. Within the UNI thing in this column, please mobile app you will find the contact any member of our “Be Well” icon, which will link Student Wellness Services you to great campus wellness team.

Why I relay

VOLUME 112, ISSUE 30

A collection of stories of why students decide to relay for life

“Growing up, I was never really affected by cancer. I never had known of anyone close to me, or my family, becoming sick or dying of cancer. I am adopted and not knowing my biological family history gives me worries. There could be so many illnesses or problems that could be passed on from generation to generation that I could never know existed within my own family.

I recently have been introduced to cancer and the negative effects that it has on people and their happiness. My dad’s good friend, Mike, was diagnosed with brain cancer, and it was shocking. He was a strong man and was definitely an inspiration to many throughout his life. He passed away in 2014.

Another reason I Relay is for Theresa. Theresa was the mother of my brother’s best friend in high school. She was a very strong woman and was the sweetest lady I had ever met. My parents were very close with Theresa and her husband. As I grew up, I got to know them and their kids just as well. Theresa passed away from cancer in 2014 as well.

Both Mike and Theresa will be missed, and they are the two reasons why I relay. After seeing the effects that cancer has had on many people in my community and even my family, I have realized that making a difference and being included and active in this event will make me a stronger person and will motivate me in life. Those who go through life with the emotional, and even physical, struggle with cancer are among the strongest and most courageous people I will ever meet.”

Several students came to the event to show their support as well. One of these students was junior criminology major, Drew Montz. Montz decided to come to the event because he was taking a class with Crew and thought it would be interesting since he is majoring in criminology.

“I liked how the speakers spoke about both sides-the community and the law enforcement,” Montz said.

However, Montz isn’t completely convinced that the problems discussed will get fixed anytime soon, even by the next president.

the exceptional experience it provides students,” said Susan T. Schmidt, president of the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance More specifically, Christa Beall Diefenbach, vice president of Marketing and Development of the program, explained how UNI went above and beyond to receive this award.

“UNI raised funds for the United Way organization,” said Diefenbach. “They taught children how to give back to their community by facilitating programs to help teach children that it is important to be volunteering and giving back through the nonprofits in the community.”

Diefenbach explained that students helped with the community well-being by volunteering and helping local nonprofits conduct training. Through the train-

ing, the organizations were able to develop strategies for success.

This program has been on UNI’s campus since 1987. Students are required to complete coursework along with a minimum 300hour internship. After meeting the criteria, students are awarded with the Certified Nonprofit Professional credential (CNP).

Diefenbach explained how this credential can benefit students in the long run.

In a case study conducted last year by LinkedIn, they found that students with this CNP credential are seven times more likely to rise as a director or to a higher-level position in a nonprofit organization than those who do not have that credential.

UNI faculty member in the Office of University Relations, Blake Ruane, explained the significance of

the award for UNI’s future.

“This award says a lot about our involvement in the community and the impact we have on the community,” Ruane said. “It’s a huge credit to the emphasis we place on putting those opportunities in front of students and allowing them to branch out into the community by getting first hand experiences that they may not get in the classroom.”

Callie Sauer, junior public relations and marketing major, weighed in on the importance of volunteering and connecting with the community.

“I think it’s so important to be involved in volunteering because it’s beneficial for both parties,” Sauer said.

“You feel better after you do something for someone else, and in return, they also appreciate what you’ve done for them.”

FILM REVIEW

Tarantino’s 8th film is killer JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic

“The Hateful Eight” is a magnificent return to form for Quentin Tarantino.

This western is incredibly suspenseful and darkly humored. Carried along by the witty banter and engaging performances of the Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russel, Walter Goggins, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bruce Dern and Demian Bichir, the 3-hour runtime is never boring or filled with useless plot developments.

After a blizzard forces John “The Hangman” Ruth (Russel) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh) to seek shelter with five other strangers, personalities and individual interests collide as the group wait for the storm to blow over.

Similar to Agitha Christie’s “And then There Were None,” it is the eight different people housed together that are the main source of conflict and plot

development. Each one has their own reasons for being there, and the characters are all unique and intriguing.

But ultimately, as the title suggests, all of them are despicable people, which makes this film a throwback to earlier Tarantino films where the morality of the characters is less blackand-white, “good vs. evil,” like in his previous movies “Inglorious Basterds” and “Django Unchained.”

The ambiguous morals of the Eight make it more exciting to find out what will happen next. Every single character contributes to the overall plot and is given equal chances to shine and expand on their personalities.

The talent behind the camera is just as good as the skill in front of the lens. With cinematography

by Robert Richardson (who has worked the same job for several other Tarantino films), special effects by Greg Nicotero (of “The Walking Dead” and “Day

Illinois State downs UNI, Panthers lose four straight DYLAN PADY

Sports Writer

The UNI men’s basketball team travelled to Illinois State on Saturday to play the Redbirds. The Panthers faced another tough loss on the road with Illinois State coming out on top, 76-67. This marks the fourth straight loss for UNI and puts them at 10-11 for the season The Panthers started off strong as they gained a 14-6 lead, but the Redbirds chipped away to bring it even. The score was close-knit until Illinois State gained a six-point lead with six minutes left of the half. Jeremy Morgan hit a layup at the end of the half to bring the score to 40-38 in favor of Illinois State.

The second half started with Illinois State’s Deontae

OPINION

Pro basketball in Cedar Valley KEVIN DEITRICK

Sports Columnist

Brace yourselves, Cedar Valley, the CourtKings are coming. Waterloo will now be a three-sport city, courtesy of Gary Rima.

Rima, the play-by-play guy for UNI men’s basketball and football, will take over the ownership and management of the team. The Cedar Valley CourtKings will be part of a new 11-team Midwest basketball league.

“I think basketball is really at a high right now in the state of Iowa,” Rima told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier. He’s not wrong.

Last year, the three major Iowa college basketball teams, Iowa, Iowa State and UNI, had a combined record of 78-25. That success has continued on into this year.

Granted, UNI has had a tough year so far, but they are 2-0 against top 5 teams, No. 1 North Carolina and No. 5 Iowa State.

The CourtKings could be a nce addition to the basketball fever in Iowa.

In the first game of the year, the CourtKings travel to Sioux City to take on the Hornets on April 23.

I decided I want to make a fantasy lineup of sorts made up of some of the best former UNI, Iowa and Iowa State basketball players.

For starting point guard, DeAndre Kane. In 2013-14, Kane was second on the ISU basketball team in points (17.1) he led the team in assists (5.9) and was third on the team in rebounding (6.8).

Their starting shooting guard will be Devyn Marble.

I know he’s playing on the Orlando Magic, but I think it

would be in everyone’s best interest if he came on over and played for the CourtKings where he can dominate and go back to the NBA better than ever. In his final year at Iowa, Marble averaged 17 points per game.

With this next pick, Rima would have to make a call overseas because the CourtKings’ starting small forward should be none other than Melvin Ejim.

Melvin’s senior year at Iowa State was surely special.

In a year in which he won Big 12 Player of the Year, he also led the team in scoring and rebounds with 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds.

Now, you know I have to have Aaron White in here.

I will just throw him in at power forward, but in reality, it’s not going to matter because this team would dominate. White was absolutely amazing for the Hawkeyes a year ago, averaging 16 points per game and seven rebounds.

Now, I think we all know who is going to be our starting Center. Who else than UNI’s own Seth Tuttle? Last year, Tuttle led the Panthers to a 31-4 record and to the NCAA Tournament. They also cracked the top 10 last year. Tuttle was very efficient, shooting 60 percent from the field and averaging 15 points per game and 6.9 rebounds.

It is really good to see this area have another team to support. If you look at the Blackhawks and the Bucks, you will see that we love our sports. Remember, the first game is in Sioux City on April 23. If you do not want to drive there, the home opener is on May 15 at the Cedar Valley SportsPlex.

responded to tie the score, 43-43.

Illinois State then took control of the game and did not give any headway for the remainder. The Panthers attempted a late comeback, but there was not enough time left.

The Panthers shot 47.3 percent from the field and 32 percent from beyond the arc. The team ended with 18 points in the paint, four points from the bench and took advantage of the fast break with seven points.

The top scorers for UNI included Wes Washpun with 23 points, Paul Jesperson with 15 points and Matt Bohannon with 13 points.

On the defensive side, Jeremy Morgan crashed the boards all night, putting up eight total rebounds along with three steals and a block.

The Panthers also had only

eight turnovers compared to Illinois State’s 10.

Despite a disappointing 10-11 record as a team, Washpun, Bohannon and Jesperson have stood out as some of the top scorers in the Missouri Valley Conference.

Washpun currently ranks ninth with 14.9 points per game, Bohannon ranks thirteenth with 12.4 points per game, and Jesperson ranks sixteenth with 11.6 points per game. Washpun also leads the conference with 5.5 assists per game.

Upcoming games feature another game on the road against Bradley, followed by two home games back to back against Southern Illinois and Evansville. Afterward, the team will once again face Drake University in Des Moines.

OPINION

Student sections may be at future risk RYAN HERRING

Sports Columnist

Hypothetical situation: you are at the McLeod Center sitting in the student section and Ron Baker from Wichita St. chucks up a wide open three, leaving it two-feet short of the rim (highly unlikely, but fun to think about). Naturally you want start the “air ball” chant, but you can’t because the NCAA put in rules that you cannot chant anything negative towards any NCAA athletes. Sounds pretty ridiculous doesn’t it?

Well apparently to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA), this makes a whole lot of sense.

They have a Sportsmanship Reference Guide that suggests that fans should not chant anything discouraging such as “air ball” or “scoreboard” because these are inappropriate.

The list doesn’t just stop there; it goes on and on. It is

understandable why they are looking out for high school students and are trying to eliminate any vulgar chanting towards the visiting teams, but most of these chants they find as sportsmanship infractions are just laughable. Now the WIAA is taking a lot of heat for their silly guidelines.

ESPN’s big-time college basketball analyst, Jay Bilas, said it best with his tweet of a picture of a group of nuns: “Under the new rules, a crowd behaving in an acceptable fashion at a Wisconsin high school basketball game.”

There are also numerous high school student sections posting pictures with duct tape over their mouths making a mockery of the reference guide.

Student sections have always been a big part in high school and college athletics, especially basketball. Home crowds add an element of fun to the game and really bring up the energy in the coaches, players and, of

With high school jeering rules changing, it might not be long until the NCAA might change as well.

course, fans. There is nothing quite like competing in front of a group of fans cheering you on to victory.

On the flip side, it is always an exciting challenge for the opposing teams to silence the home crowd by coming into a hostile environment and snagging a win on their opponent’s home floor.

This particular Sportsmanship Reference Guide is aimed specifically towards Wisconsin high schools. It has also been around for quite some time, but there was recently an email sent in December that brought the old recommendations increased attention.

UNI student John Fieldhouse, former high school basketball player in the state of Wisconsin, disapproved of WIAA’s move: “As a former high school player, I loved getting the student section going at home games and silencing them on the road,” Fieldhouse said.

Fieldhouse also added that he thought “they are trying to take away a big part of what makes the game so fun.”

The WIAA wants to reiterate and emphasize these policies. As of now, high schools are the only ones that this issue is relevant to. However, you never know. Given how soft things are in our society today, it might be that that softness is getting carried over to the NCAA as well.

This has got to make you feel for those teenagers being asked to contain themselves. It’s like telling a kid not to get too excited for Christmas. Cheering and rowdy crowds is great for the game, and the thought of sportsmanship/rules committees is going in the direction of eliminating certain chants is sad. The chant “push it” seems too fitting for the issue.
