UNI is teeming with organizations for students to get involved in outside of classes, and many have already found their place within various campus ministries right here on campus. A few of these groups that have a particular amount of presence on campus include BASIC, The Salt Company, The Navigators, TheRiver and Chi Alpha.

There are almost 800 student members of these five ministries alone, according to the student directory.

BASIC stands for Brothers and Sisters in Christ. It is a college-aged worship community that aims to unite people on campus and invite them to join in the work of Jesus Christ. As of May 2016, BASIC reported they had 475 active members.

One of their leaders, sophomore performing arts management major Zoe Nanke, said the sense of community it sold her on BASIC.

“I transferred from the University of Iowa halfway through my freshman year, which meant I was worried about making friends,” Nanke said. “Through BASIC I have found some of my best friends and have had amazing opportunities to grow as an individual, as well as a child of God.”

According to Nanke, the minimum time commitment BASIC requires are weekly meetings, which are held Thursday nights at 8 p.m. in Lang Hall Auditorium. They are partnered with Orchard Hill Church and Nazareth Lutheran Church, which both

also hold Sunday morning services that some BASIC members choose to attend. BASIC also has other opportunities to get involved within the organization like holding leadership positions and going on mission trips to places like Jamaica and Haiti.

Another popular organization on campus is The Navigators, or commonly known as “Navs.” The Navs’ beliefs are centered around one core story: the Gospel.

They believe that Jesus is the son of God and died for our sins. Because of what Jesus did for them, the Navs desire to make Christ known, they say.

In December of last year, the Navs reported they had 23 active members.

One of their leaders is senior

elementary education major, Haley Meister. According to Meister, the Navs hold two meetings every week, Nav Night and Freshmen Connection. Nav Night is their weekly meeting for all members, held in Seerley Hall on Thursday nights at 8 p.m.

These meetings are a place where everyone comes together to worship the Lord and hear a Biblical message, according to Meister.

Their Freshmen Connection meeting is also once a week on Tuesdays in the University Room at 8 p.m.; this is an opportunity for freshmen to build friendships with others involved in Navs and study the Bible in smaller groups.

New location ‘Beck’-ons business SYDNEY HAUER Staff Writer

Ginger’s LLC will be opening a new bar in place of Beck’s on College Hill, which celebrated its last night in business on Aug. 20 after 10 years.

The new bar will not serve as a new location of Ginger’s Pub, but will instead be a completely new brand.

The original Ginger’s was severely damaged while firefighters were putting out the fire that destroyed Great Wall Chinese Restaurant this past April.

Darin Beck, CEO of Barmuda Companies, accepted an offer to end his lease early on the property that housed Beck’s, which was previously set to expire in 16 months.

“The lease was set to expire at the end of next year. We were at a point where we felt

the lease once it expired.

“We may try to relocate and open a new Beck’s location in Cedar Falls. We would love

to stay on the hill […] There’s just no real estate,” Beck said.

Enrollment on the rise KAUSHIK MAHIDA Staff Writer

After UNI saw a slight enrollment increase of 53 students in the 2015 fall semester, the university appears to be on track to continue this trend.

According to Matthew Kroeger, associate vice president for enrollment management, this year’s incoming freshman class consists of nearly 2000 students, which would mark a 4.38 percent increase compared to last year.

Kroeger credited this achievement as a combined effort among faculty and staff from all academic areas.

“We have been doing a lot of things to recruit new students and many people across campus have been involved, including faculty and staff from all academic areas,” Kroeger said. “We have increased our communication to prospective and admitted students, encouraged more students to visit campus – which they have – and have been more aggressive in telling the UNI story to more folks.”

Kroeger also stressed that President Ruud’s recent departure has not affected UNI’s enrollment in any way.

JUSTIN KIME/Northern Iowan

Official student enrollment numbers won’t be released until the 10th day of classes, due to some students registering late.

The official census declaration will not be released until the 10th day of class registration as some students may register late. Both

the University of Iowa and Iowa State University have also made similar statements about prospective increases for incoming students this fall semester.

The university has taken a number of efforts to welcome new students this semester.

Various booths and stalls have been set up up across campus to assist freshmen, and a number of introductory activities have been held to help acclimate incoming students to the UNI environment.

Danusha Manohar, a graduate student from Malaysia and an active member of UNI’s Global Success Program for international students, said she experienced firsthand the diversity initiatives at UNI. “I built connections with many of the incoming students,” Manohar said. “Making those connections and being a familiar face for those students has been an amazing experience which [is] what makes UNI truly a place where ‘you and I’ belong.”

Although international students only compromised 5.14 percent of UNI’s 11,981 students last year, such programs have helped attract more international students to the university.

According to Kroeger, the most popular majors amongst freshmen last fall were: elementary education, pre-business, psychology, accounting and biology; still others

entered UNI as a deciding major. Freshmen’s motives in choosing UNI varied from campus life to renowned programs of their chosen discipline.

One such student is freshman accounting major Erika Nyekazi-Wami, who said her love for business led her to choose UNI. “I want to know about business to the fullest,” NyekaziWami said. “You know, UNI is one of the best business schools.”

While UNI has succeeded in bringing new students to campus, the university has also experienced moderate success with retaining these students. In the last couple of years, the first-to-second year retention rate for new full time freshmen has fluctuated between 80.1 percent to 84.7 percent. According to Kroeger, this year there is an expected rise in the retention rate from last year, which was 80.1 percent.

Emily Shinkle, junior elementary education major, explained why she first chose to come to UNI and why she has chosen to stay here.

“I came to UNI in fall 2014 and instantly fell in love with it,” Shinkle said. “What attracted me to UNI was its music program and general positive feeling. The thought of leaving UNI never crossed my mind, as this place always felt right [for] me.”

new venue would bring to College Hill.

“I’m excited for some new business on the Hill,” Massey said. “With the current variety of existing bars in that area, I’m curious to see how this new addition can complement them.”

“I’ve never been a huge fan of the weekend bar scene, but I will definitely miss the underrated boneless wings at Beck’s,” Meredith Miller, junior public relations major, said. “I’m excited to see if the new bar will serve food and what kind of menu it will bring, and how it will affect College Hill in the future.”

Ginger’s took possession of the venue on Aug. 24 and will begin planning the details of what exactly will be moving into the space.

“We will try to utilize that building […] for something that would make more sense for that, rather than trying to fit everything that Ginger’s is into that small space,” Kyle Dehmlow, Ginger’s operator, said.

Ginger’s offered amenities such as a stage for live music and an outdoor patio – things that the new location wouldn’t be able to offer, Dehmlow said.

“We have a pretty good idea of what’s going to go in there and how we are going to do it, but right now we need to get a few things straight as far as a timeline when we think we could open,” Dehmlow said.

Dehmlow said he would like to possibly re-open Ginger’s at its original location at some point, but there are many obstacles to face before that can happen.

VOLUME 113, ISSUE 03

UC minces words over trigger warnings The world is buzzing over a letter sent by University of Chicago’s Dean of Students, John Ellison, to UChicago’s incoming students, and what it might mean to universities across the country.

Ellison’s letter states that “[UChicago doesn’t] support so-called ‘trigger warnings,’ . . . and [they] do not condone the creation of intellectual ‘safe spaces’ where individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at odds with their own.”

But, wait . . . isn’t Ellison listed on UChicago’s webpage as an Ally for their very own Safe Space Ally Network?

How does this track?

To begin with, the definition of ‘Safe Space’ used in LGBT* circles – where an August 26 article in the Advocate states the term originated – is a place where discourse on difficult topics, such as race, gender and sexuality issues, may be addressed respectfully.

It should be the goal of every university to prevent toxic environments, whether or not they designate one space or another to be ‘Safe.’

Freedom of speech is one

thing, but freedom to harass, belittle and demean has no place in an academic setting with any reasonable code of conduct.

UNI’s own Code of Conduct is available at www. uni.edu/policies/302.

For examples of responses to anonymous harassment and cyber bigotry, see Amanda Schueller’s article “We Can Do Better,” published Nov. 18, 2014 on UNI’s response to the explosion of hate speech among local users of the Yik Yak app.

UChicago’s Code of Conduct states that if a student’s conduct impacts the well-being of others, “or causes significant disruption to the functioning of [UChicago]” disciplinary actions may be taken by the Dean of Students, Ellison.

His own definition of “intellectual ‘safe spaces’” directly opposes his duties as Safe Space Ally and Dean of Students. Such duties require him to provide an area where discourse can remain respectful, free of belligerency and harassment, while avoiding the disruption of UChicago’s functionality.

His very job at Chicago is to live up to the aforementioned LGBT* definition of ‘Safe Space.’

The problem at hand is a conflation of terminology.

While UChicago has stated

– in so many places – that harassment and persecution are not tolerated, they are not required to label Safe Spaces as such. Instead they must keep in line with the spirit of the movement through their own Code of Conduct and other policies.

The reassurance that Ellison’s “intellectual ‘safe

I know politics may seem like a joke these days because there is no shortage of comedic digs towards the floppy toupee and polyester pantsuits, but this is still a serious matter.

Election day is coming up fast and there is still a large amount of uncertainty about who to support this November.

This has undoubtedly been the most unorthodox election year yet and it seems to be leaving us in a media induced frenzy.

By this stage in the process, I’m sure many of us don’t even bother to turn our TV on anymore in fright that we might have to sit through one more campaign commercial or listen to the absurdity of the press.

As college aged students, this is most likely the first political campaign many of us have been involved in, and I can’t say it is a very warm welcome into the world of democracy.

The deceit and bigotry

exhibited by our leading candidates in less than admirable and often befuddles our ability to look past the tripe and focus on what is important. At first it was amusing, but it became quite clear after the caucuses that our country’s future is not something we should gamble for the mere pleasure of entertainment.

MSNBC and FOX look more like reality television than hard news broadcasts and the front pages of our newspapers can easily be mistaken for gossip magazines. When is America going to wake up and understand this is the future of our nation, not the season finale of some show on Bravo?

Whoever wins this doesn’t get a rose or record deal, they get the presidency. They will hold the most powerful office in the world and it is up to us to pick a worthy leader.

For some of us it may not be a difficult choice, rather a painful compromise, but it is our responsibility as young citizens to partake in the process. It may be tempting to just opt out and not cast a vote this year, but we must remember that passively

standing by is simply not an option.

Yes, the system is broken and it may sometimes seem easier to just start over, but that isn’t how this works. In order for change to transpire, one needs to be involved. Voting is your privilege, although it might not be your pleasure.

A recent tracking poll done

by NBC illustrates exactly how critical it is to participate this year. Clinton is up by 6 points, at 48 percent, while Trump sits at 42 percent, which means this is a very close race. With a few months of campaigning left, anything could happen.

Based on NBC’s survey, it appears to be the registered Independents who are having a tough time choosing which side to support. “According to data from this week’s tracking poll, 70 percent of Independents who now support Clinton say they have supported someone else in the past six months.

Among those Independents who currently support Trump, 64 percent say they supported someone else in the past six months.” It looks as though with Bernie out, Independents

‘trigger warning,’ and why aren’t they supported?

A ‘trigger warning’ is a content warning, like ratings on films, alerting the consumer of material that certain subjects will be covered within a course.

Just like “Troy” received an ‘R’ rating for sex, violence, gore, etc., “The Iliad” – from

Alright, then what is a

which the film is based – and courses containing the text, can carry such warnings as well.

Ratings are predominantly used to protect children from adult material, while trigger warnings prepare victims to face material from an academic stance, rather than

being blindsided in class and risking an uncontrolled emotional response.

While trigger warnings might cause some students to avoid taking one course over another, they don’t exempt the student from coursework after having enrolled.

As a student, I can understand the assumption that adult students should expect to be exposed to adult material. As a survivor of sexual assault, I cannot understand why the few moments it would take to prepare someone going through trauma recovery for sensitive material is too much to ask for.

Not supporting trigger warnings doesn’t mean that UChicago is taking a stand against trauma victims, but it does have a negative impact on how such individuals feel about UChicago as an environment of support.

A university’s job is to affect positive change on their students’ lives. While careful habituation to sensitive material can help trauma victims move forward in their lives, sudden exposure can cause major setbacks on an individual’s road to recovery.

A few moments to prepare someone is not a blank check to avoid coursework. It is a small price to be aware and sensitive in a turbulent time of a person’s life.

are torn between the two.

Political beliefs aside, I ask that you recognize the imperative contribution each and every vote makes. Ignore the smug smiles and supposed

scandals, focus on what matters, the power you bestow to bring about change. Get educated, think wisely and head to the polls on Nov. 8 to show your support for this country.

“I joined Navs originally because of its solid foundation and mission,” Meister said. “As I began to get involved in Navs as a freshman, I quickly saw that it was a ministry that highly valued the Word of God. I wasn’t able to sit in either my Bible study or Nav night without being drawn to think deeply about the Bible.”

Another Christian destination students may choose to pursue is within the Salt Company, which reported 65 members in August 2016.

Senior accounting and financial management double major Mitch Van Es is one of the leaders of the Salt Company and explained how the SALT Company believes that they should put their faith in Jesus and that he died for our sins and rose from the grave to conquer death.

“The SALT Company’s mission is to make disciples who know and love Jesus,” Van Es said. “SALT does this by teaching from the Bible and doing connection groups and Bible studies each week.”

The SALT Company holds weekly meetings every Thursday where students congregate and discuss events, information and of course their beliefs. They hold various events, including retreats and conferences throughout the year.

Van Es expressed his love for all the close friends he’s made through the SALT Company that challenge him in his faith and keep him accountable.

TheRiver, a ministry made up of 140 members as of September 2015, is a community seeking to learn about Christ and strive to include others in their lives and bless their campus and city according to members.

The group is considered a denominational Christian Ministry.

According to senior performing arts management major Emma Swensen, TheRiver holds weekly meetings Tuesdays at 9 p.m. in the Union, as well as Bible studies and small group meetings. They also hold retreats, bonfire events and other casual hang outs.

Swensen said theRiver is Bible-centered, and embodies a unique community that genuinely cares for each other.

“I encourage anyone to come and give theRiver a try if they are even considering it,” Swensen said. “There’s no pressure, but we would love to get to know each person on campus.”

The SALT Company named itself so after the Bible verse Matthew 5:13, “You are the salt of the earth.” SALT kicked off with their first event last Thursday on Lawther field.

Alpha, with a reported 60 members as of April 2016.

Junior music education major Daniel Benson shared that Chi Alpha’s beliefs are the Bible is the authoritative word of God and their guide for life. They also believe in the Holy Trinity, that Jesus Christ, out of his great love for us, “died for our sins on the cross and rose from the dead so that anyone who puts their faith in him will

inherit eternal life in heaven.”

They also believe God still moves powerfully today through the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Besides holding weekly services at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays, Chi Alpha holds events like brotherhoods and sisterhoods, which are essentially service nights geared towards making connections with other members, a

special service and worship night called Heaven Meets Earth, game nights and small student-led worships.

“We just strive to invite those that we see around campus, in our classes, and in our dorms into an environment that is safe, caring, and full of community,” Benson said. “An environment where we can show the students on this campus the love that Jesus Christ has for each and

every individual, no matter who you are.”

Although there are several different Christian ministries speckled all around campus, all the organizations wear their sense of community proudly and seem to be open to welcoming new members into their groups.

A common thread runs through each Christian ministry – a deep love for God and the community.

UNI women’s soccer has an answer, let it ‘Bee’ KEVIN DIETRICK Sports Writer

Last Sunday, the women’s soccer team had their home opener against the

Saint Ambrose Fighting Bees.

After starting the year 0-2-1, and failing to score a goal in all three games, the Panthers showed up

ready to compete as they took home their first win of the season.

The scoring got started very quickly, as Kelsey Yarrow got the assist

from Hannah Mcdevitt and scored in just the third minute of the game.

Later in the game, Saint Ambrose’s senior, Sarah Treat scored a breakaway goal on the 28th minute.

Just 10 minutes later, Amber Nieland scored from the corner to give UNI the lead. Then, in the 43rd minute of the game, Sydney Hayden got the long ball from Jamie Althiser and broke away for another goal to put the Panthers up by two.

After some solid defense and physical play from both teams, Treat got the ball in the net for her second goal of the game, trimming the Panther’s lead to just one.

Both teams fought hard, and just as the Fighting Bees tried to tie the game up, Nieland put the nail in the coffin.

With about seven minutes left in the game, Julianne Trizzino threw a perfect long ball and Nieland put the Panthers ahead 4-2, which would eventually lead to a win for UNI. Both teams played a very clean game as there were no penalties

throughout the entire competition. UNI played some strong defense, holding Saint Ambrose to 11 total shots and only seven of those were on goal.

The Panthers doubled their shots with 22, and 13 of those were on goal.

Mcdevitt led the team in shots with four, and Nieland and Claire Netten both had three shots each. Whitney Blunt had another solid game as goalie, saving five shots while only allowing two goals.

Their next game will be a contest against Arkansas on Sept. 1. After taking on the Razorbacks, the Panthers will play their next two games at home in Cedar Falls against South Dakota and Midland University.

South Dakota is currently 1-2-1 coming off a 4-0 loss against California State University, Northridge.

Midland University, on the other hand, is just 1-0 in the regular season, after their 3-1 victory against Waldorf University.

and getting away with murder.” said Kaepernick.

It is not the motivations behind the protest that is concerning, it is the action itself that is seen as disrespectful.

Professional athletes stand on a great platform for igniting change, and I support that. But the bottom line is stand up and don’t disrespect the flag.
