A fresh snow may also add some more beauty to the night if the weather cooperates. Looking at the various architecture, discovering new statues on campus or even just enjoying the snow on the tree along the sidewalk are all picturesque things to do. The Campanile should be one of the primary visits on your walk. Revive your homecoming Campaniling experiences with your loved one by your side or create new memories of your own. See SPOTS, page 4

Curriculum changes proposed NICK FISHER Executive Editor

NICK FISHER/Northern Iowan

Hansen Breitling leads an informational meeting updating students about the curriculum change status, among other developments. Some students have expressed interest in there being a new LAC requirement.

The momentum from last semester’s student diversity forums and talks with administration is moving toward its actualization in the new calendar year said Hansen Breitling, NISG director for diversity and student life. Breitling, along with NISG vice president, Paul Andersen,

and the NISG campus relations committee, is working on a proposal for a curricular exit requirement focusing on issues of diversity, inclusion and social justice. “The students of UNI deserve this opportunity,” Breitling said. “And [they] will continue to be sorely deprived as long as diversity, inclusion and social justice are not concretely implemented in the list of outcomes the university requires students show

competence in [so] that they may obtain a degree.” UNI’s fellow Regent institutions, the University of Iowa (UI) and Iowa State University, (ISU) have already committed to their own versions of diversity curricular requirements. Most recently, UI has committed to a Liberal Arts diversity requirement for the 2017 school year, according to their now.uiowa.edu website. See CURRICULUM, page 2

CDC infographic sparks controversy MEGAN JOHNSON

pregnant) and has eight or more drinks per week or binge drinks. The infographic warning prompted some outcry on social media due to perceived sexist implications. “I can’t speak to the intentions [of the CDC]. I am not saying that is their intent. I don’t know,” said Catherine MacGillivray, director of Women’s and Gender Studies at UNI. “I would say that this is yet another example of why we need more people educated in women and gender studies, because one of the goals of this field of study is to teach people how to critically analyze things like public policy through a gendered lens.” The CDC’s infographic reads that “drinking too

much can have many risks for women.” These risks include: “injuries/violence,” sexually transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancy, according to the graphic. “If the campaign was about women who are pregnant or even women who are actively trying to become pregnant, that would be one thing; but to extend this public health advice to all sexually active women in general is clearly overstepping,” MacGillivray said. “It is participating in the kind of behavior that is trying to control women and women’s behavior, especially with regard to sexuality [and] women’s bodies […] It is contributing to the culture of blaming the victim.” A woman may not know she is pregnant for sever-

al weeks after conception, the CDC reports. Shawna Haislet, health promotion coordinator at student wellness services, said the first 12 weeks of pregnancy are highly sensitive for the baby’s development.

It is during these first few weeks where the vital organs are being formed, Haislet said. She emphasized the importance of educating

ISU currently requires its students to take two courses, one to satisfy the U.S. Diversity requirement and one for the International Perspectives requirement. Students can choose from approximately 170 courses to fulfill the requirement. Oliverio Covarrubias, junior psychology major, wondered why UNI couldn’t implement an LAC course requirement for diversity. He raised the question during a forum on diversity and discrimination last semester in which students were able to share their concerns with faculty members and the administration, including President Bill Ruud and Provost Jim Wohlpart. “It’s more likely that I’m going to run into someone different than me out on the street or in the workplace than I’m going to have to use, say, chemistry in the workplace,” Covarrubias said. According to Brietling, NISG is currently polishing up its official proposal to present to students, faculty and staff

for feedback. Breitling said that under the proposal, an exit requirement of, for example, nine or 12 credit hours would be implemented. A committee of experts would be convened to judge courses based on learning goals and objectives and would approve or deny a course nominated to be “tagged” as “diversity-intensive” with a D tag. Breitling said this tagging system would work much the same as the way certain courses are tagged as “writing-intensive,” some of which are required to graduate for some majors. He said the official proposal specifies details such as incentives for professors to present their courses and the exact procedure of implementing the new exit requirement. “An exit requirement is ideal because it can provide repeated exposure to teachings on diversity, while allowing for diversity within diversity requirements,” Breitling said. According to Breitling, there are potentially over a hundred courses that could “reasonably” qualify for the D tag — encompassing many majors, minors, electives and LAC classes.

Covarrubias thinks Breitling’s proposal, applicative across many majors, would be more effective than a single class requirement. He said exposure over the course of a student’s four years at UNI is essential. Stephanie Logan, Chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Council, said she would be supportive of a curriculum requirement because students could benefit from what they have learned years down the road as they enter the work force. She said diversity is a priority in K-12 education already and that should be true of higher education as well. Xavier Escandell, associate professor of sociology and Faculty Senate member, said the Faculty Senate has discussed curricular change dealing with diversity and inclusion often, and that the talks revolve around how best to approach the same goal. “Diversity should be a core principle that permeates the institution,” Escandell said. “Not only classes that engage with race and ethnicity are needed, but any class in this

institution should think about how they contribute to diversity at UNI.” He said this goes for all “diversities,” including all underrepresented groups, sexualities and those with disabilities. There is support for a curricular requirement among multicultural groups at UNI. Alexis Alfaro, Hispanic and Latino Student Union president, said HLSU supports a curriculum requirement because education is essential to changing the culture at UNI. “We need to have required classes that make everyone aware of diversity issues,” Alfaro said. Some students are a little reluctant to a perceived mandatory enforcement of diversity. “Just in my courses this semester, diversity has come up in every class,” Nancy Snider, junior elementary education major, said. “Professors are interweaving it into my classes. I don’t believe additional classes are necessary.” “If it is made mandatory, there will be so much backlash from students,” said Kate Anderson, junior public relations major. “I think it should

be pushed but not forced. Sadly, you can’t force diversity.” Logan said multiple “diversity-intensive” courses could yield more widespread integration as opposed to a oneand-done type of course. Escandell said it’s UNI’s mission as an institution to communicate the value of engaging with diverse perspectives and underrepresented groups. “If we fail to provide that kind of perspective, we fail as an institution,” Escandell said. Other students are more open to the requirement. “We are seeing a divide going on in our country again,” said Joel Wauters, sophomore political science major. “This [requirement] might help keep it from growing.” “You can say ‘you can’t force diversity,’ but this is the real world. Diversity is going to force itself upon you,” Covarrubias said. “You’re still going to run into people who are different than you … That’s the world we live in, and the world we are going to live in.”

One in 20 school children have a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), according to a recent Center for Disease Control (CDC) “Vital Signs” report. A child with an FASD can have short-term physical issues, behavioral and intellectual disabilities through adolescence and long-term issues with substance use, mental health and criminal behavior. This prompted the CDC to release a controversial infographic warning women of the dangers of FASD. Their report prescribes that health professionals recommend birth control to a woman between the ages of 15 and 44 who is sexually active (and not currently

V-day plans that won’t break the bank Staff Writer So, you’ve spent your last dollar on second semester textbooks and missed the deadline to end your New Year’s gym membership fee, but Valentine’s Day is still just right around the corner. Whether or not you plan to celebrate with a significant other or your best friends, there are still some things in life that are free — or at least affordable enough to help you get in the spirit of the holiday. Sophomore communications and public relations major Abbey Cornett suggests students don’t even need to leave campus to celebrate Valentine’s Day with their significant other. “Take a fake candle to the dining center,” said Cornett. She said this is a way for students to spice up the usual daily experience of in school dining without breaking the bank on eating out or having to make reservations somewhere fancy. Cornett also suggested that students utilize the free movies available in their residence halls if they live on campus. As a resident of Rider Hall, she can attest to the variety of selections to choose from. Hannah McDermott, junior interactive digital studies major, suggests another way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is to “celebrate late or early.” College students in particular can wait and have a movie date on Tuesday when the $5 dollar movie deal is in effect at the College Square Theater, she said. McDermott also mentioned LEZIGA BARIKOR

said. Olson points out that students can use on campus resources for things like that. He also commented on how most people enjoy receiving a gift like that, where there is thought put into it. Some people have made plans with their friends rather than significant others this year. Meredith Miller, sophomore communication and public relations major, is celebrating at the GBPAC. “In the evening, I’m going to see ‘Annie’ with my friend, Emily,” Miller said. “So we’re going to have a good time together.” For UNI students who have not used their two free GBPAC tickets yet, now would be the time to see “Annie.” According to the UNI calendar, the performance of this world-renowned family feel-good musical this Valentine’s Day will be the perfect treat for musical theater fans. Some students like John Mejia, sophomore, don’t have any plans to celebrate, wheras some are faced with distance limitations like Laura Anderson, junior biology major. “I’m having a Skype date with my boyfriend who is in Missouri with the Marines,” said Anderson. While the timing of Valentine’s Day does not always work out, there’s still going to be heart-shaped chicken nuggets in the dining center on Monday, as well as discounted candy. So maybe that’s all students really need.

UNI students about the things to consider before getting pregnant. Haiselt said UNI has a program called “Empathy Belly”, developed by Linda Ware, which creates a “means for the partners of the pregnant women to feel ‘empathetic’ for the physical and mental/emotional changes that a woman endures during pregnancy,” said Haislet. “During this program, we emphasize with the students that their current behaviors can affect their pregnancy and the health status of their baby,” Haislet said. “Half of all pregnancies in the US are considered unwant-

The CDC approach is assuming that all those unknown and unwanted pregnancies will be brought to term.” The CDC has since responded. “We weren’t as clear as we hoped to be,” said Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC, according to the New York Times. Schuchat said in the same article that she “absolutely respects women” and wants all women to be empowered to make important choices, and that the coverage that porayed the CDC “as only thinking about women as incu-

Now, “Jane” is not a mystery movie. It just uses a clever way to tell its story, rather than being a straight-forward shoot-‘em-up. As mentioned before,

Edgerton was my big reason for wanting to see this, and he did not disappoint. Portman did a fine job as the leading lady; Noah Emmerich, while bed-ridden for most of the movie, has his chance to shine during flashback scenes. Finally, McGregor was another high point, as the conniving John Bishop. The only complaint I have

Women’s basketball downs Wichita State, improves to 13-9 DYLAN PADY

Sports Writer

On Sunday, a crowd of 1,226 excited fans filled the McLeod Center in Cedar Falls to watch the UNI women’s basketball team defeat the Wichita State Shockers, 69-48. The Panthers struggled to find their momentum during the first half of play trailing 11-16 with just a minute left to play in the first quarter. To begin the second quarter, Stephanie Davison connected from behind the arc, cutting the Shocker’s lead to just one at 19-18. Madison Weekly added a three of her own, giving UNI the lead for the first time. The Panthers played strong defense and held the Shockers to just four points in the second quarter. They ran away to end the first half with a 35-23 lead. During the third quarter, the Panthers found themselves scoring from deep on multiple occasions. Weekly made 3-4 of her three-point attempts while Sharnae Lamar went 2-2 from the three-point range.

Lamar made her second shot right before time expired to increase the Panther lead, 54-31. As time ticked away in the final quarter, UNI answered every shot Wichita State made with one of their own with buckets from each end of the court. The final point of the game was a shot from the charity stripe by Dariann Garrison to finish the game, 69-48. Sunday’s victory gives the Panthers a 13-9 overall record, as well as an impressive 8-3 in the MVC conference. The Shockers now hold a three-game losing streak as they play Bradley this Friday. Weekly finished the game with 19 points, three assists and two steals; Lamar had 11 points, four assists and one block; Amber Sorenson finished with 10 points, three assists and one block. Moving the ball around and getting everyone involved, the Panthers finished the game with 16 assists to help secure the victory.

Madison Weekly (2) led the Panthers with 19 points and was named the MVC Female Scholar Athlete of the Week. The Panthers are now 8-3 in conference games and are tied for second with Missouri State.

Athlete of the Week. Weekly scored 19 points against both Missouri State and Wichita State, as well as passed the 1,000 careerpoint mark during Sunday’s game against Wichita State.

While she excels on the court, she works hard in the classroom with a 3.89 GPA in the field of accounting. She currently has 1,018 career points and 374 on the season.

The Panthers’ next game will be on the road against Indiana State this Friday where they will take on the Sycamores and look to increase their winning streak.

OPINION

Three NFL superstars to retire, still unsure about Manning

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Charles Woodson is among the three stars to retire. Woodson recorded 65 interceptions in his career and returned 11 for touchdowns.

RYAN HERRING

Sports Columnist

It’s just a few days after the Super Bowl and it’s finally starting to sink in: football is over. Well, at least it’s over until next fall. Then the grass will be green again and everything will be back to normal.

Although, “normal” isn’t exactly the best word to use, because when the teams step back on the gridiron next season things will be different. There are a few superstars who will no longer be strapping up. Charles Wo o d s o n , Marshawn Lynch and Calvin Johnson have all announced their retirement. There is

also high speculation that Peyton Manning is going to be hanging up the cleats as well after earning his second Super Bowl victory on Sunday. Just take a second and think about it; those guys will be watching NFL games from their couch next year rather than being out there every Sunday. Weird, right? They all have had phenomenal careers, and it is sad to see them come to an end. Let’s start with Charles Woodson. Woodson will go down as one of the greatest defensive players of all time. Calling it quits at the age of 39, he finished his career with 254 games played, 65 total interceptions, 11 interception returns for a touchdown (which is tied for 2nd of all time) and one Super Bowl ring. On the flipside, we have Peyton Manning on the offensive end that will go down as one of the greatest to ever play the quarterback position. Manning hasn’t officially announced his retirement, but this may have been was his last season. He has the record for all-time passing yard-

age with 71,940 and most career touchdown passes at 539. Manning is a two-time Super Bowl champion, was named to 14 Pro Bowls, and won five regular-season MVPs. He also has quite the resume for his acting, from hilarious “Saturday Night Live” skits and countless of comedic commercials. Both Woodson and Manning have had two long, outstanding careers and without a doubt will find themselves in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The other two retirements came a bit sooner than expected. Calvin Johnson, “Megatron,” is suspected to officially announce his retirement sometime this week from the Detroit Lions. Johnson is 30 years old, but his short career sure took a toll on his 6-foot-5, 237 pound body. Johnson has been one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in the NFL for the last few years. A combination of great hands, size and athleticism made him almost unguardable. He’s been one thing the struggling Lions franchise could be excited about, and now they have a big void to fill,

due to a career full of nagging injuries. Last, but not least, Mar shawn Lynch announced his retirement at the young age of 29 during the Super Bowl. He tweeted a peace emoji with a picture of his cleats dangling from a telephone wire, suggesting that he is hanging them up for good. A year prior, Lynch played in the Super Bowl while he was receiving compliments as the best running back in the NFL. However, this year was just a big downward spiral for Lynch as he struggled greatly with injuries. Sources say his teammates are trying to talk him out of retirement, but it seems like Lynch has made up his mind, and as the media can contest, he is a stubborn guy to get any information out of. All four of these guys have had outstanding careers, and it is a shame to see them have to step away from the game. No matter how long or short their career, all these guys have set records and made their mark on the game. They have earned a tremendous amount of respect.
