UNI interior design nationally accredited SYDNEY HAUER Staff Writer

The interior design program at UNI has received nationa l accreditation from the International Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) for the next six years.

The program met all of the 16 standards needed to qualify, which was followed by an evaluation conducted back in February.

This August, the program heard word that they received this recognition for a six-year duration.

Becoming accredited is a formal process where recognition is given to a school or program that meets certain standards of quality.

The interior design program is housed in the School of Applied Human Sciences because it focuses on the social and behavioral aspects of designing a space.

“It’s about how a space

can affect human behavior,” said Dr. Gowri, an interior design professor. Gowri said many people often have a misconception of what interior design really is, and that many parents may discourage their kids from choosing the major because of this.

“HGTV really misrepresents us,” Gowri said. “It’s not about our choices, it’s about meeting the needs of a client. It’s not full creative control, but it’s a nice balance between your knowl-

edge base and educating the client, as well as taking what the clients’ needs are.”

Interior design students are required to complete many projects as part of their coursework – often design plans shown on a mat board – in order to demonstrate what they have learned and to show their understanding of various concepts.

“We get to do a wide variety of projects in both residential and commercial design,” said Megan Axne,

senior interior design major.

Many of the projects involve designs for kitchens, offices, hotels, salons and spas, as well as others.

Students in the program take courses in drafting, design software and the history of interiors. In addition, students learn about the different materials used when designing a space, such as lighting, flooring, brick and stone.

DEBATE

continued from page 1

“It was an absolute meltdown,” Holmes said. “In the history of television debating, I am very comfortable with saying that this is the single worst debate performance I’ve ever seen, and it’s not even close.”

Holmes cited Trump’s failure to provide detail on substantive policy, his frequent interrupting of Clinton and Holt and his tendency to ramble as reasons he believed Trump performed poorly.

Holmes was more positive when describing Clinton’s performance.

“She had a really solid performance,” Holmes said. “It was not the absolute slam dunk that I’ve seen other candidates make, but it was a very solid performance.”

Holmes said he was impressed with Clinton’s knowledge on the “nuts and bolts” of policy and her calmness under pressure.

Hoffman was much more reluctant to call a winner.

“If you tuned in last night, and you were already a supporter of Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, it’s highly

|

unlikely anything you saw last night changed your mind,” Hoffman said. “You’re already entrenched in your views, and the information that you receive throughout the debate is going to be filtered through your own particular lens.”

However, no matter who won both Holmes and Hoffman said they believe debates are not as important as they are made out to be. Each professor said that debates may cause a change in momentum or a small shift in the polls, but little else.

“Winning in November doesn’t really come down to the debates,” Hoffman said.

Hoffman added that debates can be important for undecided voters, but said undecided voters are a very small demographic who perhaps receive too much media attention compared to their actual impact on elections.

Polling after the debate seems to reflect the sentiment of a healthy, but not overwhelming, victory for Clinton. A poll conducted after the debate by Public Policy Polling showed that 51 percent of voters thought Clinton won, compared to 40

percent for Donald Trump.

Both Hoffman and Holmes thought Holt performed relatively well as debate moderator. However, Holmes said he thought that while Holt asked Trump and Clinton equally tough questions, he was harsher on Trump in regard to fact checking.

It was an absolute meltdown. In the history of television debating, I am very comfortable with saying this is the single worst debate performance I’ve ever seen, and it’s not even close.

Political science professor

“It does raise this specter of unfairness; Trump does have a little ground to push on that,” Holmes said.

“Clinton was never really challenged on anything, and I’m assuming she shaded the truth in places, and she was never called on that.”

However, Holmes attributed Trump’s performance more to his bombastic debating style and tendency to

Students also go on trips through the department.

“We have a lot of studied trips, going out into the community,” Gowri said.

“It’s very much like the whole community is a learning lab for us – you know, we don’t hesitate to take our students out or bring others in.”

Axne expressed excitement for the program’s national accreditation.

“I am so incredibly excited for our program to finally become accredited!”

Axne exclaimed. “Our interior design program was already strong, but to have

Aaron Friel, math and computer science double major, is a member of the Northern Iowa Democrats who was in attendance at the watch party held in the presidential room of the Maucker Union.

“Hillary was the clear winner of the debate, even if you disagree with her policies,” Friel said. “She showed up and gave the American people the decency of studying up and coming prepared.

“If UNI students were to look at the two candidates and imagine that they were their classmates, everyone would recognize Donald Trump as the person who shows up late, hasn’t done the reading and when called on, scrambles to put together something like a coherent answer,” Friel said.

The Northern Iowan reached out to the UNI College Republicans for comment, but have not heard back as of press time.

The next debate between Trump and Clinton will be held on Sunday, Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. Vice presidential candidates Mike Pence and Tim Kaine will face off for their one and only debate on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. The long anticipated election will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 8. this accreditation, it really enforces how amazing our

VOLUME 113, ISSUE 10

Debate debacle delivers nothing First, there is an important disclaimer for readers to consider. Yes, this is indeed an analysis of the political debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump from this past Monday. However, this is not a “winners and losers” article meant to sway potential voters toward believing one side won and the other suffered a setback.

While that may very well be true, the process of constantly assigning winners and losers is exhausting and often worthy of “clickbait.”

Instead, this analysis will avoid the futility of assigning a victor and will opt for a less simplistic version of political analysis.

First and foremost, it felt surreal that this debate actually happened. For so long, this particular pairing of these two very controversial candidates seemed implausible and for Clinton and Trump to actually share a stage is still difficult to comprehend.

I found myself thinking, “How did we get here?” That sentiment was quickly pushed to the side, as the candidates wasted no time trading barbs.

For Clinton, a considerable effort was made to increase middle class appeal. Clinton

often referenced her father’s small business and her family’s place in the middle class, and also habitually attacked Trump’s attitudes and predisposition toward America’s elite. Perhaps Clinton’s strongest charge against Trump was his lack of empathy for the average American.

Trump responded to the claim that he rooted for the housing crisis by simply saying, “That’s called business.”

The response played into Clinton’s portrayal of Trump as a candidate lacking interest in the wellbeing of the majority of Americans and might speak to Trump’s greatest obstacle going forward.

Trump has used his success as a businessman to sway voters, and he stuck to those principles on Monday. Trump frequently referenced NAFTA, Mexico and the threat of China to the U.S. economy. He had a fighting chance when the debate stayed fiscal, but once the discussion shifted to social and human questions, Trump struggled.

In Republican primaries, Trump could go as far right as he wanted - that won’t fly in the general election. This was evident in Trump’s denial of his past claims about China and the source of climate change, which Trump denied despite evidence on social media that showed he accused the Chinese of creating the idea of climate change as a hoax to damage

U.S. manufacturing objectives.

Trump could afford to make these claims to appeal to conservatives, but those same statements that got him the nomination might be what turns moderate and undecided voters toward the Clinton camp.

The overall attitudes expressed by both candidates did not deviate from what voters already knew. Trump is often brash and uses external threats to American prosperity as his primary weapon.

Protection for foreign threats serves Trump’s priority of immediacy, or his goal to provide solutions to satisfy conservative Americans as quickly as possible.

Alternatively, Hillary spoke often about investing in young people by providing more opportunities for future endeavors. She was optimistic and less antagonistic, though the phrase “Trump Dump” might need to be put away for the rest of the campaign.

The conflict between Trump’s plan for immediacy and Clinton’s proposals for an optimistic future were a debate standout. Trump struggled most in defending how his policies can amount to sustainable success. Alternatively, Clinton seemed more focused on improving the lives of Americans as the country moves forward.

She justified her claims for increasing taxes on the

wealthy by her desires to make college education more affordable and train police officers to help bridge racial divides.

Trump, meanwhile, offered an unconstitutional form of racial profiling known as “stop and frisk” and major tax cuts on the wealthy to satisfy immediate needs for security.

If Trump is going to appeal to more voters, he must be able to show how his policies can sustain success.

Claiming, “It’s going to be beautiful,” is not enough evidence to prove to undecided Americans that his bid can lead to future success.

I have a couple notes and suggestions on debates in general. The first is simple: don’t overreact to one debate.

Some may remember a strong showing by Mitt Romney in

This semester has filled our pages here at the Northern Iowan with those of us who exercise our free speech on the subject of free speech, and it seems like the dust stirred up has begun to turn to mud with the new article by Kyle Day, our self-described “resident straight, white, male, conservative columnist.”

In his article, Day charges my previous op-ed on our consistent subject with being “factually weak” and “misleading” in my academically supported link – support cited in my previous article – between slurs and defamation.

Day’s claims that the example of corporations taking out defamation suits falls short in light of absence of cases against those who claim the existence of “inherent greed and corruption of Wall Street and the corporate world in general.”

What Day seems to forget is that defamation must first be proven false, and I say good luck to proving absence of greed by large corporations where a single board member makes more than an entire fleet of their own company’s boots on the ground.

I apologize to the reader if the above idiom was so complex that it was as “barely coherent” as my last article was, according to Day. Perhaps Paul Hodgson’s June 2015 article in Fortune outlining the jump from a 1965 20-to-1 CEO-to-employee pay gap to last year’s gap of 303to-1 might be more clear.

Just like Day claims for himself, I too have a word limit. This may have left some of my previous statements in murky waters for some readers, so it may be better to elaborate here.

Organizations such as the NAACP, the Black Lives Matter movement, LGBTQ* Pride movements and Feminist Action Leagues exemplify in their formation that discrimination has played

a negative role in the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans.

The fact that these organizations exist in reaction to consistent evidence of persistent oppression – Day’s anecdotal evidence of success stories aside – show that even in the wake of great progress in the 60’s and beyond, more is needed. True equality does not yet exist.

Furthermore, both terms are separate from derogatory slurs, which post the assumption of one group over another – as racist terms linguistically define the user as one who asserts that the targeted group is lesser than the speaker for being genetically different.

The fact is that our current political arena is filled with nationalist claims that amount human lives to skit-

the first presidential debate of 2012, and we remember how that turned out.

The second piece of advice is that after the conclusion of a debate, viewers should turn off the TV. Or at least change the channel to something other than a major news network. Personally, I found Monday Night Football to be an adequate channel swap option after the debate to let my thoughts and theories digest.

The next debate is Oct. 9, which is a Sunday, meaning that football will once again be option (Giants vs. Packers, if you were wondering). If football isn’t your thing, feel free to watch something else or nothing at all. As long as you stay away from the news networks that tell you what to think and why you should think it.

Debate watch parties occured both on and off campus. Pictured is the debate watch party that was hosted by the Northern Iowa Democrats.

Columnist Heppard responds to Day’s rebuttal

Northern Iowan

Kyle Day, Opinion Columnist, previously published a rebuttal to Heppard’s opinion column titled, “Back to the basics of free speech.”

The fact is – as aforementioned articles state – that an objective descriptor term such as “black” or “white” is different from a subjective opinionated term such as “good” or “bad.”

tles, condemning all for a “poisoned” few, and public discrimination like this should not be tolerated.

While I do not think that a university should be a cen-

ter of censorship – in fact, safe spaces were designed to be areas within a university where respectful dialogue is expected, without regulating the whole campus – belligerency and hate speech should not be tolerated.

But for every organization fighting for an environment which does not impede a student’s progress and productivity with belligerency, insults and flat-out hatred, there are those who protect them with a shield of free speech.

For example, FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) was in fact started by those who have very liberal-sounding previous experience, much like President Reagan’s union experience. Whether or not these founders are still as liberal, I cannot say, though I can speak to the funding of the organization as laid out in Cecilia Capuzzi Simon’s article in The New York Times this past August.

HOMECOMING 2016 unmask your spirit Recap by katie baughman, Photos by Hannah gibbs

WINDOW PAINTING ON THE HILL

Chi Alpha, Love Your Melon, Camp Adventure and other organizations brought their art supplies and creative minds to College Hill on Sunday to decorate business’ windows in honor of Homecoming Week.

Participants were asked to decorate a business like Sidecar Coffee, Sub City or Mohair Pear’s front window, incorporating their own organizations activities or ideas along with the Homecoming theme of “Unmask your spirit.” The event was hosted by Campus Activities Board.

The International Student Promoters, a group of students with international educational interest who promote UNI to prospective international students according to the UNI Organization Directory, decorated Sidecar Coffee’s window with a Campanile, the letters S and P with masks and the quote “Taking UNI to the world.”

Homecoming Kick-Off

Members of the UNI community gathered at Lawther Field sporting purple and gold to kick off the start of Homecoming week with Pride Cry.

A competition is held each year where groups create a dance, song or cheer that coincides with the Homecoming theme, while also incorporating their own twist according to the organization. Winning teams for the night will advance to the final round and perform at the pep rally on Friday in the McLeod Center.

Bender Hall, Alpha Xi Delta and Pi Lambda with Gamma Phi Beta are just a few of the eleven organizations that appeared to show their Panther spirit.

Omega Psi Phi held their own with a mere three members in the show, performing a type of stomp dance. They snagged a spot in the final rounds, along with Black Student Union (BSU) and International Students Association.

PICNIC

What is homecoming week without free food and items? Campus Activities Board held a picnic at the Campanile yesterday.

CAB also held a zip line on Lawther Field during the picnic. Students, as well as many faculty members, lined the sidewalk to conquer their fear of heights or enjoy a short thrill on their Tuesday afternoon, according to many students in line for the zip line.

Student Health Services also lined the edges of the event with informational tips to stay safe during Homecoming this week.

A Health and Safety Resources pamphlet was handed to each student in line for food, which included emergency numbers and the Weekend Safe Ride Schedule. Students could experience goggles that simulated intoxication, or spin a wheel for prizes.

events to come

The weekend holds many more events, like Eric O’Shea, a comedian who performed his show “Commercials” at the Creative Emmy Awards ceremony. He will be coming to campus tonight.

The UNI Women’s Volleyball team will face off against Missouri State, with the Homecoming Pep Rally to follow. Royalty Competition winners will be crowned at the rally. The finalists from Pride Cry will also leave it all on the McLeod court as they battle for the victory in a final performance.

The Homecoming Parade, complete with handmade floats from various participating organizations, will take place around campus on Saturday morning, beginning at 11 a.m. UNI Football will take on Southern Illinois at the Dome at 4 p.m., with a concert by Justin Adams to follow west of the Dome at 8 p.m.

I’m sorry that an organization which founder Harvey A.

I’m sure we can’t have that kind of “misinformation” just bandied about.

These organizations are representative of a people whose livelihood has been negatively impacted by racism, sexism, etc. and the perpetuation through public statements.

There is even precedent for exceptions to the first amendment’s right to free speech for hate speech, such as outlined by Lauren

Carroll’s May 2015 article on politifact.com.

Not only are Chris Cuomo’s statements to this outlined, but the legal precedent of “fighting words” is as well. I’m sure we’ve all heard the phrase, “Them’s fightin’ words,” but surprisingly few realize that the legal term is a revocation of first amendment protection when statements are used to instigate another into a physical bout.

The fact is that hate speech – often deemed “fighting words,” though

here proposed as defamatory – is not constitutionally protected (whether one understands what they are or not) and has not been since US Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy spoke outlining case law for what is not to be protected under the first amendment in 1942.

I hope that the plainer language above clears up any misunderstandings for our readers, as my last article proved to be too difficult for some to understand clearly.

FILM REVIEW

“Mag Seven” scores 2 and a half paws JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic

Author’s Note: This is a remake of the 1960s western with the same name of “The Magnificent Seven,” which in turn is an American rendering of 1954’s Akira Kurosawa masterpiece “The Seven Samurai.” I highly recommend you see these two films, as they are cultural and cinematic landmarks.

When the small town of Rose Creek is terrorized by mining company boss,Bartholomew Bogue, Emma Cullen escapes to find help for her homestead in the form of Sam Chisolm and a ragtag group of six other men who answer the call to mount a defense and save Rose Creek from Bogue – or die trying.

Cinematography: 3/5 Throughout the action scenes, or the Californian landscape shots, “The Magnificent Seven” is certainly a sight to see. There is a healthy saturation of colors on screen that makes it easy on the eyes and great to look at. When the bullets start flying and the action picks up the pace, Mauro Fiore’s camera work keeps up with the battle sequences.

There is always a good sense of orientation, keeping track of where all the characters are especially during the hectic opening of the final battle that could have just as easily been a frantic camera whipping mess.

Writing 2/5 One must congratulate director Antoine Fuqua for taking on the mammoth task of remaking the legendary “Magnificent Seven.” While this newest version of the Seven is an appetizing action ride, it unfortunately lacks the dramatic and thematic depth that make its predecessors such an engaging experience.

The plot is decently paced.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Denzel Washington starred as Sam Chisolm in “The Magnificent Seven’s” latest remake.

It moves along in a way that is neither rushed nor plodding along. The Seven are introduced at even times, allowing for their own introduction in to the plot for the audience to gain a basic understanding of their character.

Solid though these introductions are, there is not much growth for hardly any of them as the film progresses leaving them as mainly one note characters.

Ultimately, it felt as if this movie should have gone through a few more drafts before finishing production. A lot of the humor, while mainly banter between the Seven, seems awkwardly placed or lacks comedic value. Along with the one liners, there are several dramatic plot points that seemed misplaced or at least could have been fleshed out further in order to have a bigger effect.

Acting 3/5 Denzel Washington plays the bounty hunter, Sam Chisolm; the other major cast members included: Chris Pratt as the gambler, Joshua Faraday, Ethan Hawke as the sharpshooter, Goodnight Robicheaux, Byung-hun Lee as the assassin, Billy Rocks, Vincent D’Onofrio as mountain man, Jack Horne, Martin Sensmeier as Comanche warrior, Red Harvest and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mexican outlaw, Vasquez.

As mentioned before, the

Seven are mainly one note characters, but the roles are helped along by the fun the actors are all having portray-

ing the characters and interacting with each other.

They are accompanied by Haley Bennett, who plays the headstrong Emma Cullen, and Peter Sarsgaard, the villainous Bartholomew Bogue.

While Sarsgaard has his moments, there is a good deal of odd character quirks and hammy acting that downplay the otherwise effectively sinister role.

Overall: Is Antoine Fuqua’s Magnificent Seven completely unwatchable by itself ?

No. It is a passable popcorn muncher that would probably have fit better in the

summer line up of movies.

But compared to the legacy of the two films that this is inspired by, this newest remake of “The Magnificent Seven” completely passes up the emotional and dramatic impact that were the basis of the original Seven Samurai.

Instead, it swings with both hands at the big money action scenes and shootouts that, while visually impressive and thrilling, make this just another action flick remake that forgets what makes the “Magnificent Seven” so magnificent.

UNI football returns on Saturday DYLAN PADY

Sports Editor

The UNI football team has been preparing for their first game back after a long bye week comes to an end.

During their Homecoming battle on Oct. 1, the Panthers will take on the Southern Illinois Salukis.

The Salukis began their season 2-1 with just a single loss to Florida Atlantic (3830) and will enter their game against UNI ranked No. 11 in the FCS. The Panthers are currently on a two game losing streak, but it is still very early in the season to be discouraged by a 1-2 record.

In 2015, the Panthers turned a 2-4 record into 9-5 by the end of the season after their seven game win streak was ended by North Dakota State.

Last season though, the

D’Shawn Dexter, (30) Charles Brown, (4) and Elijah Campbell (19) celebrate a great defensive stop against the Iowa State Cyclones’ offense.

Panthers rolled right past Southern Illinois at the UNIDome with a final score of 49-28. Aaron Bailey completed 14 of his 20 passes, threw two touchdowns and then proceeded to score three times on the ground.

Tyvis Smith had a rushing touchdown as well, 161 yards on 23 attempts and his longest run of the night was marked at 51 yards.

Defensive line coach Bryce Paup has been working with the linemen for four years now and is excited to have a new record breaker, Karter Schult, on his front line.

Schult’s performance against the Swoops last week earned him the Hero Sports Player of the week and he now currently holds the record as an all-time leader in career tackles behind the line (44) at UNI. Against Eastern Washington, Schult

had five solo tackles, two assists and even had his first career interception, which he ran the other way for 20 yards.

UNI has gone 63-26-7 in their Homecoming games since 1920. 22 of those victories were in Cedar Falls on home turf and the Panthers have only lost six homecoming games in the Dome.

This is shaping up to be a very exciting game, where fans can see if the Panthers can turn the jets on and get back on track after losing their last two previous games.

It is recommended that UNI fans attend the game wearing purple, and kickoff will then take place at 4 p.m.

After their battle with Southern Illinois, the Panthers will travel to Vermilion, South Dakota to take on South Dakota State.

OPINION

Remembering the great names in sports BRENNAN WHISLER Sports Columnist

2016 has been a bad year for sports fans, as we have seen some of the all-time greats pass away, along with plenty of up-and-comers passing too soon.

Muhammad Ali, Gordie Howe, Will Smith, Sam Foltz, Buddy Ryan, Pat Summitt and many more have all dominated the media for at least one day with their untimely passing. This past Sunday two more names joined these greats in memoriam.

On Sunday morning, the grim news broke in South Beach. The Miami Marlins starting pitcher Jose Fernandez had died at the age of 24 in a boating accident. Along with Jose, two of his friends also died in the crash.

Fernandez was a young gun on the up swing, playing in just his fourth season in the MLB. Fernandez came to this country when he was 15 after multiple attempts at defecting from Cuba. Speaking little English, Fernandez struggled through school, but he found baseball and that was all he needed.

Fer nandez was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2013, an AllStar in ‘13 and ‘16 and on the short list of potential Cy Young winners. Only the single best pitcher in

both the National League and the American League is able to receive the Cy Young award.

Fernandez had a career record of 38-17, an ERA (earned run average) of 2.58, and a WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) of 1.05. The Marlins are planning on retiring his #16 jersey, the first time they have ever done so. The cause of the boating accident is still unknown, but speeding is suspected.

Sunday night saw a legend pass from this world.

Arnold Palmer passed away

from heart complications at 87. Palmer arguably had the biggest impact in the world as whole compared to any of the other athletes named above.

Palmer is credited with bringing golf to the masses, a real-world Happy Gilmore. With TV just becoming big, Palmer proved to be the on-screen face of golf. Handsome and emotional, playing with pure persona off the course, there was no reason not to like him.

A few quick stats about the “King”: he won seven

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Arnold Palmer gives fans a thumbs up the Augusta National Golf Club on April 17, 2016. Palmer lived to be 87 years old before he passed away.

Majors, 62 tournaments (fifth all time), was in the first class of the World Golf Hall of Fame, oversaw 300 golf courses built by his company and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

He was also the first golfer to win one million dollars from golf tournaments. He was one of two men who founded the Golf Channel. Outside of golf Palmer showed up in movies and TV shows as himself. His real lasting impact, however, is his charity work.

He was the prime donor in no less than three hospitals for women and children. He sponsored his own PGA invitational that helped many medical charities as well. If nothing else, you are able to thank him for the real fine Arizona drinks.

So as this week draws to close you might find yourself wanting to wear Fernandez’s #16 or drink an Arnold Palmer – do it.
