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. “This past summer we went around to a lot of festivals – See CLOUD CULT, page 2

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

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. See FITNESS, page 5
