On Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m., Daniel Zamzow, a UNI alumnus, will return to UNI to perform with the band Cloud Cult. The band is coming as part of Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center’s (GBPAC) new Handpicked series that launched on Dec. 10. The event will take place in the Great Hall, and tickets are still available. Students can use one of their two free tickets for the event.

Zamzow graduated with a bachelor’s in 2007 from the School of Music.

Zamzow recalled the days he spent playing recitals in the GBPAC Great Hall as a member of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra and the Northern Iowa Symphony.

“I’ve played a number of concerts on that stage, and it’s cool to be coming back being in a different context,” Zamzow said.

Zamzow, who studied cello with Jonathan Chenoweth and also studied abroad in Austria while at UNI, spoke fondly of

the education that he received.

“I had no doubt that I needed to go to UNI,” Zamzow said.

After graduating from UNI in the spring of 2007, Zamzow moved to the Twin Cities, where he started an associate’s degree program in audio pro-

duction engineering.

However, it was not just Zamzow’s history with UNI that allowed Cloud Cult to be part of the Handpicked series.

According to Blake Argotsinger, associate market manager at GBPAC, Cloud Cult was selected from the list

because it was in the top 20 out of over 400 responses.

“Handpicked is a series that we more or less launched last year,” Argotsinger said.

‘Let’s Get Physical’ with CAB SHELBY WELSCH Staff Writer

HANNAH GIBBS/Northern Iowan

Students get physical by playing Twister. Unlike the traditional Twister played on a mat, this version was inflatable, making it more of a challenge.

Students got their blood pumping at a Let’s Get Physical event, hosted by Campus Activities Board, UNI’s student-run event programming organization.

Here students had the opportunity to participate in yoga, Zumba, inf latable Twister, door prizes and a create-your-own water bottle station with healthy foods and beverages provided.

According to CAB’s executive board member of the

entertainment committee, Rachel Dohl, CAB geared this event towards those who were still trying to fulfill their New Year’s resolutions.

“Since it is still early in the year, my committee and I decided to do something that promoted a healthy new year,” Dohl said.

Dohl said that CAB tried their best to host an event with lots of variety.

Students who didn’t participate in Twister munched on healthy snacks and made their own water bottles.

“We love to host recreational and creative events

like this that are designed for everybody,” Dohl said.

The create-your-own water bottle table was popular among those who attended. CAB hired Neon Entertainment, who are able to print nearly any picture, quote, saying, name or Greek letter onto a water bottle.

Students created bottles ranging from the individual’s name, to a picture of their dog, to an image of Will Smith. The process to make the water bottles was a quick ordeal.

for voters tonight could be extreme winter weather.

According to the National Weather Service, “heavy snow and wintry mix will overspread all of eastern Iowa” starting tonight and will continue into Tuesday morning.

In addition to snow accumulation, high winds could prove troublesome for potential voters, with wind speeds projected to exceed 40 mph at times. As a result, a blizzard watch is in effect until Wednesday at 6 a.m. in central Iowa, including Black Hawk county.

Despite the projected snowstorm, thousands of Iowans are expected to participate in their caucus precincts tonight. For those who intend on caucusing, it is strongly recommended to plan accordingly. Per caucus rules, those who arrive late to the 7 p.m. start time will not be allowed to participate.

like Gentlemen of the Road in Waverly. We had people fill out forms of about 100 bands of who they’d most like to see in the Cedar Valley. Cedar Falls isn’t usually a destination for most bands, so we’re hoping there is a market in the Cedar Valley for independent music.”

After having community members fill out the forms at numerous art festivals throughout the area, Argotsinger believes that these numbers reflect the Cedar Valley as a whole.

“Cloud Cult’s performances involve artists painting pictures on stage, eight incredible musicians and lyrics that are philosophical and inspirational,” Argotsinger said. “Even if the music isn’t your cup of tea, the live energy of the shows, like with the painters and the ensemble of musicians who

each play, like, three to four different instruments. It’s wild.”

The band features eight members, comprising a chamber ensemble whose sound ranges from eclectic folk music to experimental indie rock.

“Craig Minowa started the band in the 90’s, and they became bigger in the 2000’s,” Argotsinger said.

“He’s been around and holds a fond place in people’s hearts.”

Maddy Wright, a student at Cedar Falls High School planning to attend UNI in the fall, said she’s excited to attend the show, because it will force her to explore a new genre of music.

“I’m going to the show because I’ve heard that they have a very different and unique vibe to them,” Wright said.

Sophomore elementary education major, Spencer Westhoff, plans on going to the show as well.

“I am very interested in seeing Cloud Cult perform because I saw an advertisement comparing them to Arcade Fire, my favorite band,” Westhoff said.

“They look very interesting because of the variation of instruments they use.”

Zamzow discussed how being a musician is a viable career path in which one can be successful. He offered advice to music students, saying: “There is so much more [that is] possible than just performing in a formal setting or being a teacher.”

Those who are interested in more information about Cloud Cult or Kishi Bashi with Strings (a Handpicked show scheduled for April 7) or who want to receive updates from Handpicked can join a mailing list by going to gbpac.com/handpicked. Tickets are also available for both Cloud Cult and Kishi Bashi with Strings on the website.

Corrections: In the Jan. 28 edition of the Northern Iowan, the NI printed some incorrect information.

In the story “Charges for mental health services proposed,” we stated that a part-time psychiatrist is retiring. This is not the case.

We said the mandatory

health fee for students is $115 per year. It is $115 per semester.

Furthermore, we’d like to clarify that the charges proposed apply only to psychiatric care and not to counseling services. The counseling services will remain free of charge to students.

The NI regrets its mistake.

VOLUME 112, ISSUE 32

Who are you caucusing for and why?

Tonight, at the one event that makes Iowa relevant to national politics every four years, I will be caucusing for Bernie Sanders. I came to this conclusion through a Guess-Who-type elimination. I started with all the candidates and asked myself a series of questions.

First, do I hate people of color? No. That did away with the majority of the Republican field. Second, I asked myself: Do I want gay and trans* persons to be treated like people with equal dignity and rights?

Yes. That’s how the rest of the Republican field bit the dust in my process.

So, I was left with the three candidates vying for the Democratic nomination.

If I were swayed by waggish charm and perfect teeth, my vote would unquestionably go to Martin O’Malley.

Sadly, I do not.

And I do mean sadly, because I think O’Malley is going to be a great vice president. His commitment to fighting the damage we’ve done to the planet is stronger than that of the other candidates, and I respect and value that. Unfortunately, the rest of his platform has failed to garner excitement and trust.

With only two candidates remaining, I was (and remain) torn. It’s not like Hillary Clinton and Bernie

I’m caucusing for Bernie Sanders. The reason I’m caucusing for Bernie is because I understand this is what I need to do in order to ensure his nomination. Bernie has my support for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, his determination to overturn Citizens United is what fundamentally sets him apart from the other candidates that wish to change the political climate in the United States. Until this decision is rescinded, our road to oligarchy will continue.

Consistency is another characteristic that sets Bernie apart from other candidates. There is no flip-flopping with him, as

you’ve seen consistently over the years from Hillary Clinton.

From racial justice to marriage equality, Bernie has been fighting for the underdog since the beginning.

Secondly, his platform’s emphasis on income inequality is vital to the well-being of many Americans, especially women, children and people of color - some of the most vulnerable among us. The cry for redistribution of wealth is being heard and we finally have the opportunity to elect the highest official of our land that plans to uphold this effort. In relation to aiding in the fight against income inequality is Bernie’s desire to increase our starvation minimum wage and his solution to college affordability.

Next, is his dedication to criminal justice reformation.

This is a pressing issue recently and the issues surround our justice system are impacting more

All I have heard in the last three months are who someone is voting for in the upcoming caucus and elections. Quite frankly I am tired of it, and I love politics. Instead of backing a candidate I am instead going to explain what I think the role of our government should be.

Ronald Regan said it best when he said, “We are a nation

that has a government — not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth.” We have the power to tell the government what we want instead of them telling us what they think we need.

The role of government isn’t to dictate what our needs are and how they should be addressed. The role of government is to hear what we want as a nation and give us opportunity, not smother it.

When I think of the government, I like to make sports analogies. I see the government acting like a referee in the game

Sanders are completely different on the issues. What made my decision is belief in a United States with a democracy rather than a ruling class. Is it fair to have a small number of families passing the presidency back and forth like a red rubber ball on the playground?

That doesn’t sit well with me. Sanders 2016.

I will be caucusing on Monday, and I cannot stress how important it is. We cannot make our country better if we are unwilling to be a part of the process. Bernie Sanders is right, the shape our country is in is caused by political apathy on part of the American people. While Iowa doesn’t determine it all, it sets the tone for New Hampshire and the rest.

This year I will be caucusing for Donald J. Trump. He is the only Republican candidate who supports the following: universal health care, green energy, ending the war on drugs, solving

the student debt crisis, solving our illegal immigrant issue and preventing political correctness from obstructing U.S. interests at home and abroad. He supports all of that while simultaneously not being an overly religious social conservative like many other Republican candidates. Exactly what I’ve wanted in a candidate.

Caucus for climate LETTER TO THE EDITOR

people’s lives daily. Bernie has spoken on police brutality and our alarmingly high prison incarceration rates. Again, this issue is one of special concern for people of color and those living in poverty.

Bernie is a progressive and he’s the 74-year-old voice of our sensible generation. I am caucusing for him because, just like Bernie himself, I’m looking out for more than just myself and my immediate surroundings.

As a young voter, I am excited to participate in the caucuses and show my support for a candidate who advocates for the issues I care about. My top issue this caucus season is climate change and how we can combat it through investing in clean energy.

Iowa is an example of a clean energy success story that could be translated to other states across the country. Iowa’s wind industry provides over 6,000 jobs and over 25 percent of the state’s electrical needs—which is projected to grow to 40 percent in the next five years.

Solar energy use is also increasing across the state. In 2014, $36 million was invested

in solar installations. Just look at how successful CFU’s Simple Solar campaign has been; so many members wanted to buy shares that the company decided to expand their installations.

It will be the state’s biggest community solar project and shows that we are dedicated to promoting clean energy.

Iowa is proving that a successful clean energy economy is achievable. As the caucuses approach, it’s time for the presidential candidates to recognize Iowa’s clean energy success and lay out plans to make 50 percent of America’s energy use clean by 2030.

-Gabriella Ruggiero, junior philosophy major

of life. They aren’t a player in the game and they don’t coach (tell) the players how to play the game. They set boundaries and make sure the game is being played fairly.

Right now our government is acting too much like a player.

For instance, on the topic of healthcare, they should not be providing their own separate health care. They should be loosely regulating what healthcare companies can and cannot do.

In the area of banking, the government should make sure banks are not charging ridiculous interest rates. That is

called “usury” -- a word you don’t hear very often.

Even in states’ rights, a common conservative cause spurned by the 10th Amendment, the federal government should curb some oppressive laws such as it did over slavery or Jim Crow Laws.

But to insist on quotas? That is over stepping the government’s boundaries.

Sometimes during a game you see referees bring two separate players together to make sure they are on the same page or what they rules are and to make them come to a consensus. This is what the govern-

ment should do. They should provide a space for companies and people to come together and tell them what the rules are and provide conversation about what that means realistically.

The best government in the world is controlled by the will of the people, not the people controlled by the will of the government. That is how we achieve “Of the people, by the people and for the people.”

I say let them play! Just keep it between the lines and for the good of the people. That will keep the government from corruption and will build the character of its citizens.

Caucus tip: remember the role of government

THEATRE REVIEW

Improv group caters to a younger audience COLIN MATTOX Staff Writer

The theatre at the Lamppost was mostly lit

by Christmas lights strung across the ceiling as the audience waited for the improvised comedy to commence.

Last Friday, one of UNI’s improv groups, HalfMasted, had their “Gorilla” comedy show at the small coffee shop/theatre on Seerley Boulevard.

The “Gorilla” in the show’s title referred to the prize that the winning half of the group got if they won the audience’s vote, which was a month spent with a person in a gorilla suit. In the end, Mason Greer and his group won the prize of the “Gorilla.”

This kind of absurdity is common for improvisational comedy. It fit well with the energy of the performance.

For those unaware, an improv show consists of

a series of games where the opposing teams of performers must make up their comedy on the spot.

Nothing is planned beforehand. The performers must be quick on their feet with a wifty retort or a new direction for the scene.

The general rule of thumb: do not say no to anything. Go with every sketch. That is the main idea behind improv.

While I’ve enjoyed Half-Masted shows in the past, this particular venue seemed to be working against them. This was meant to be their family-friendly show as well, so they couldn’t curse or touch on risqué material.

The second thing that worked against them was that they were not operating on a full crew on Saturday night. I’ll admit, I have my favorite performers from the group.

I missed the energy and humor the absent members brought to the show, how-

ever, the group put on a solid performance.

True to form, the sketches were not all that long.

This is a good thing, as it keeps not only the audience but also the performers’ attention. If a sketch were to be too long, the audiences would lose interest and the performers would run out of things to say.

Also true to form, there was a lot of audience participation. The scorekeepers and judges were audience members and a majority of the topics used for the sketches were taken from audience suggestions.

One of the best sketches was “Freeze.” Two performers would act out a scene together until the audience yelled “freeze” at which point the performers stopped, another performer tagged out one of the originals, assumed the exact same pose they had been in at the time of freezing, and once they unfroze they took the scene in a

Why I relay

new direction. Once again, this was successful because the individual scenes were quick and had to end at a moment’s notice.

There were some sketches, however, that didn’t seem to go anywhere.

There was a game called “Baseball” where a performer conversed with her team and tried to flirt with a member of the audience.

It seemed a bit too gimmicky for my taste.

There was another sketch towards the end that seemed to fall completely flat called “Movie Reviews.”

Here the performers reviewed and acted out a movie that didn’t exist.

The reason this fell flat was because the topic was suggested by a young girl in the audience and there wasn’t much to be done with the idea of Cinderella having both shoes broken.

By the end of the sketch, the performers were relying on screaming and physical humor to get laughs. But

then again, they were catering to a younger audience, and that type of humor goes over well.

In light of all this, it seems like the show as a whole could’ve been better if the group didn’t have to censor themselves. Then again, that’s what you get with family-friendly material.

I’ve seen Half-Masted on campus when they didn’t have to be family-oriented, and the shows were far better. Maybe it’s just the dirty comic in me, but improv is best when the audience is shocked.

This is not to say that I didn’t laugh during the show at the Lamppost. The group had their moments, but the show as a whole mostly felt overly censored.

Everything I’ve seen from Half-Masted in the past has been a great performance, but it seems that the smaller crew and censored show seem to be working against them.

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

“I Relay for my grandma who survived colon cancer four times and a family friend that beat the battle against breast cancer.

For me, “cancer” is a word of shock and sadness. But at the same time it can be a word of happiness. Starting with the shock and sadness definition, for me, it is pretty obvious why I give it those definitions. The word itself sends chills down your spine, it causes one’s heart to sink to their stomachs and most of all, it hits harder than a right hook from Mike Tyson.

I was young when I heard that my grandma had cancer, and I was unsure what it actually even meant, but I knew that it made my parents sad. It wasn’t until her fourth diagnoses that I actually knew what it meant, and let me tell you, it was wasn’t easy telling myself that my grandma had cancer, a lady that had never smoked a single puff or drank a single drink.

At that moment I knew that no matter who you are, cancer didn’t care and it would do anything to ruin you and take you away from family. By the willpower of my grandma she battled off cancer for the last time.

Happiness, a word that shouldn’t even be near the word cancer but it can bring happiness to a person, or a family for that matter. “You are cancer-free” or “You beat the battle against cancer” are a few of the sayings that brought the most joy to my life when I heard the doctor tell my grandma that she was, indeed, cancer-free.

I know that I am not the only one that has had joy brought to their life from hearing those words. For me, I want more people to have happiness from hearing the word cancer, I want cancer to be a word of joy and when it is a word of sadness I want it to be 100 percent sure that it will be, soon, a word of happiness.

That is why I Relay, to change the meaning of cancer, to make it a word of happiness and hope. Hope for victims and happiness for families.”

Panthers go 1-1 over the weekend, currently 7-2 in conference BRANDON TJEPKES

Sports Editor

The UNI women’s basketball team traveled to Chicago to play the Loyola Ramblers on Saturday. The Panthers lost a close one, 64-60.

The Ramblers led for most of the game, but the Panthers rallied back in the third quarter. The score was tied, 50-50, going into the fourth quarter.

Each time the Ramblers took the lead in the fourth quarter, the Panthers tied it up quickly. Both defenses held until Loyola’s Grace Goodhart knocked down a three with 0:12 remaining.

The Panthers lost the precision game as they shot for 37 percent behind the

arc and 35.5 percent total.

But the Panthers did make six out of their seven free throws. All of the non-scoring statistics were almost equal with both teams.

While the Ramblers were well balanced with six players scoring, the Panther scoring was divided among only four players.

Madison Weekly led the Panthers with 20 points, Amber Sorenson was second with 19, Jen Keitel added 16 and Mikaela Morgan scored five points.

The Panthers then travelled to Peoria, Illinois on Sunday to play the Bradley Braves.

The Panthers defeated the Braves, 55-47.

Other than ties, the Panthers led for the whole first half. The Braves came

back in the third quarter and held a five-point lead. The Panthers quickly gained back the lead.

The Panthers were able to jump to a nine-point lead in the fourth, the largest of the day. The Braves could not come close and ran out of time for a comeback.

Weekly again led the Panthers with 18 points.

Wes Washpun (11) finished the game with 16 points. Koch, also pictured, finished with a double-double with 22 points and 11 rebounds.

After a recent win against Bradley University 68-50, the Panther’s beat Southern Illinois at the McLeod Center 67-58.

Struggling to make their shots fall, the Panthers began the game shooting 7-23 from the field and 2-12 from threepoint territory.

With 11 minutes to play in the first half, the Panthers found themselves trailing by 10 until Wes Washpun ended the scoring drought with an “and-one” drive for three points. Matt Bohannon scored three points to start an 8-0 run to tie the game at 25-25 with 1:25 left in the

first half.

Early in the second quarter, the Panthers began with a 7-0 run to take the lead, 36-31. Leading the Panthers in scoring was Bennett Koch as he shot 5-6 from the field and 4-8 from the free throw line for a total of 14 points in the second half. Koch also grabbed 8 rebounds.

This win marks backto-back victories for the Panthers, the first since Nov. 30 when they dropped North Dakota and North Texas.

This is Southern Illinois’s second loss in a row after coming off a four-game win streak.

Koch led the team with 22 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Panthers on Sunday.

Washpun finished with 16 points and three assists. The last field goal of the game was an easy jump shot by Washpun with 3:17 left to play.

The Panthers shot for 35 percent in the first half. They turned it around in the second half as they shot for 50 percent; they finished the game with 42 percent shooting.

With the strong second half, the Panthers had the largest lead of the game at 12 points ahead midway through the second half of play.

Their next game will be at home against Evansville University. This will take place on Feb. 3 at 6 p.m. at the McLeod Center.

WRESTLING

Three wrestlers win as the Panthers lose to Central Michigan, 11-22 ZACH HUNTLEY

Sports Writer

The heat was on in the West Gym Friday night as the Panthers battled it out against Central Michigan.

Currently ranked No. 21 in the NCAA, the Chippewas took seven of the 10 bouts and left UNI to fall, 11-22, in their second home meet of the season.

Getting the team rolling was Cooper Moore at 165lbs., taking on CMU’s Jordan Atienza. Coming out of the first period with no points on the board, Moore was hopeful.

“I had to stay faithful, keep taking my shots and know that something would open sometime,” Moore said.

Moore took charge in the third period and earned a

9-1 major decision with a near fall and riding time.

The next victory came from Panther heavyweight Blaize Cabell, who defeated Newton Smerchek in a 15-5 major decision. He started slow in the first but gained traction in the second and third periods. Cabell notched five takedowns and three stalling points, securing his victory.

Dylan Peters did not disappoint as he clenched his fifth dual victory of the season against Chippewa Brent Fleetwood.

After a 0-3 start in the first period, Peters shot for a takedown and came out with a four point near fall that brought the audience to their feet. Peters rounded out the third period with an escape and finished the match with a hard-earned 8-4 decision.

UNI senior Trevor Jauch was well on his way to a victory over Central Michigan’s Zach Horan before he was injured in the third period. Head coach Doug Schwab said it was too early to tell if this was serious.

“Obviously when someone yells in a certain position, there’s something wrong,” said Schwab, “but sometimes when those things pop you hope it’s nothing serious and if it is you have to try and figure out ways to compete with it.”

Rising after his injury, Jauch could not hold his opponent back and fell 3-4 in the last bout of the night.

This weekend the Panthers will open up the West Gym again as they take on Iowa State at 7 p.m.

Friday night and Kent State 7 p.m. Saturday night.
