Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney speaks to supporters during a campaign rally at Charles Towne Landing in Charleston, S.C., on Jan. 5. South Carolina will hold their primaries on Saturday, Jan. 21.
BLAKE FINDLEY Staff Writer
After two rounds of primaries – in Iowa on Jan. 3 and in New Hampshire on Jan. 10 — GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is on top. Romney won the Iowa caucuses with 24.6 percent of the vote and won the New Hampshire primaries with 39.3 percent of the vote. While Iowa residents voted Rick Santorum second with 24.5 percent of the vote, New Hampshire residents gave Santorum 9.4 percent of the vote. Ron Paul placed third in Iowa with 21.4 percent and second in New Hampshire with 22.9 percent of the vote. South Carolina will hold the next primaries on
Saturday, Jan. 21. After that, voters will head to the polls in Florida on Tuesday, Jan. 31. According to Donna Hoffman, the department head of political science at the University of Northern Iowa, Republicans will likely know who their nominee is by March 6, also known as Super Tuesday.
Analysis by the experts
On Jan. 3, more than 120,000 Iowa Republican voters participated in their local caucuses. Chris Larimer, an associate professor of political science at the University of Northern Iowa, said the Iowa caucus “served its role in terms of winnowing the field, especially with the Bachmann and Perry campaign.”
Bachmann dropped out of the presidential race after the Iowa caucuses. While Perry has not officially dropped out, Hoffman said he has “for all practical purposes.” “The caucus eliminates candidates without good organization or a message that connects with voters,” Larimer said. Similarly, Hoffman said the caucuses don’t pick nominees, but instead “narrow the field of candidates.” Larimer said, based upon the winners of the caucuses, it “seems that Iowans were somehow able to balance electability and consistency in the candidates.” “The caucus advanced a candidate like Santorum, See CAUCUS, page 3
The University of Northern Iowa may receive a funding boost next year to the tune of $4 million. During the 2012 Iowa legislative session, which began this week, the Iowa General Assembly will vote on a supplemental $12 million, three-year funding request for the university, which was approved by the state Board of Regents last fall. The increase was requested to offset the inequitable effects state budget cuts have had on the institution in comparison to the University of Iowa and Iowa State University. With 90 percent of its student body comprised of Iowa undergraduate students, UNI receives far fewer tuition dollars per student compared to the state’s other public universities, and so is more dependent on state See BUDGET, page 2

19 online article “Alex’s on College Street” fails to pay employees.” “They did not call me to say that they’ve gotten money and they haven’t paid me,” Grothe said. Alex’s, a restaurant owned by Alex Martinov, has failed to pay past and current employees because of the “lack of business,” according to Bitterlie. No one at Alex’s could be
reached for comment as of press time; the restaurant was closed on Jan. 11, with a sign stating it was closed for the day. Grothe recently filed a claim with the Iowa Division of Labor. While he said he is hopeful that some action will be taken, the claim can take up to 52 weeks to process. “I’m a college student, so I don’t really have enough money to go to a lawyer to do this for me,” Grothe said. “It’s the best way going about get-
ting it.” According to Grothe, Alex’s consistently made promises and excuses to Grothe and to other employees. “Before, they’ve said that an investor would have the money. Then they’ve said that they were going to get a loan,” Grothe said. However, when asked if he believes that he will ever be paid his due compensation, Grothe answered with a simple, “No.”

allocations. “UNI kind of gets caught in this gap because they have a much higher percentage of in-state students,” Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said on Iowa Public Radio’s “The Exchange” Monday. Gronstal supports the supplemental increase. “I think it’s important for us to (provide the funding),” Gronstal said on the program. Support for the increase isn’t exclusive to the Democrat-led state senate. Jeff Kaufmann, Republican Speaker Pro Tem for the Iowa House of Representatives, believes there will be an interest in the allocations request in both chambers, provided the extra dollars aren’t taken from the University of Iowa and Iowa State. “I’m an all-Iowa-Hawkeye through and through, but I would concede that there are some unique problems to UNI,” he told “The Exchange.” With increasing state revenues, the funding request may very well be passed by a legislature that has shifted from a focus on tightening budgets last session to increasing spending this year, as evidenced by the roughly $230 million in spending increases in Governor Terry Branstad’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2013. Branstad’s proposal includes a $20 million increase for the Board of Regents, one of the largest increases in his recommendation, though it is only half of the Regents’ total requested $41 million increase. “Despite the state’s scarce resources, Gov. Branstad believes regents funding is a priority, which is why he increased their funding at a time when other agencies and departments have seen no increases in funding,” Branstad spokesman Tim Albrecht told the Iowa City Press Citizen.

who was consistent with conservative principles, and a candidate who was electable, like Romney,” Larimer continued. Larimer said, while Romney was the official winner of the caucus, “Santorum would be the real winner.” Prior to caucus night, Santorum had 4 percent of voters’ support, but is now up to second place with 20 percent. “He clearly got a boost and was immediately seen as viable to many Republican voters,” Larimer said. “His message has always connected with social conservatives and hardcore republicans, but there was the question of viability.” Santorum became the “antiRomney” candidate, according to Larimer. Hoffman views Romney as the winner of the Iowa caucuses, “even if by a miniscule margin.” “He goes down in the history books as the winner. He can rightfully claim to be the winner,” Hoffman said. “Santorum, however, exceeded expectations.” In the 48 hours following the Iowa caucuses, Santorum raised $2 million, according to Hoffman. “It is typically said there are three tickets out of Iowa and that has been the case with this cycle,” Hoffman continued. “Romney, Santorum and Paul got the tickets out; everyone else did not.” Larimer said Paul’s “thirdplace finish is disappointing when you think back to the straw poll.” At the straw poll, Paul was 150 votes behind Bachmann, the winner, but was about 4,000 votes behind Romney and Santorum in the Iowa caucuses. According to Larimer, while Bachmann and Perry are “certainly” the losers, Paul and Gingrich are losers as well, but not to the same extent. Hoffman said Huntsman’s campaign strategy to ignore Iowa was a “strategic blunder.” Aside from Bill Clinton in 1992, who ignored the state because Iowa senator Tom Harkin was running, no candidate has gone on to win their party’s nomination after ignoring Iowa. “Furthermore, Iowa is a swing state in the general election, so even if Huntsman were to win his party’s nomination, he would have no base or organization in the state,” Hoffman said. “He further insulted the state with

his ‘Iowa picks corn, New Hampshire picks presidents’ remark.” According to Hoffman, “the process by which parties pick their nominee is actually quite complicated.” “Whether one has a primary or a caucus, the whole purpose of these events is to pick delegates to eventually go to the national party convention, which formally ratifies the de facto nominee,” Hoffman said. When one of the Republican hopefuls gains enough delegates to effectively secure the nomination, that candidate will become the de facto nominee, according to Hoffman.
The students’ take
Conner Brakeville, a sophomore history major, caucused in Kingston, Iowa. For his first caucusing experience, it “was rather informal,” he said. “Most of the people there were of the older generation and had been friends for 50 years,” Brakeville said. “No one was irritable and stonefaced, but rather the entire thing felt like a conversation. I originally was a little nervous, but they made me feel at home.” He said the first thing they did was to have someone for each candidate speak on the candidate’s behalf and encourage others to vote for the respective candidate. They then put their votes in an “old water bucket.” Beth Monnier, a registered Republican in one of Plainfield’s precincts, said she “lived in a small district” and was one of 35 people there. However, she was one of only three young people. “Most everyone was middle-aged, but (they) were really excited to see even three young people,” said Monnier, a sophomore English and economics double major. “It was reassuring to see that many people cared enough to get involved, and the caucus was a great way to connect the older and younger generations in our community.” Brakeville said “it was sad to see how, out of 80 attendees, only four young people arrived.” “I feel like I have an obligation and responsibility to not only participate in politics in the future, but to encourage the participation of others as well,” Brakeville said. “It is such a small population of young people that go out and be a part of their country’s future.”

Mitt Romney greets supporters following the Iowa caucus voting on Jan. 3 in Des Moines, Iowa. The voting was the closest in history with the lead changing hands between Romney and challenger Rick Santorum.
Brakeville said he was “surprised Santorum actually won.” “I didn’t give Santorum a second thought at all, but thought that it was going to be between Romney and Ron Paul,” Brakeville said. “My overall reaction is that if Iowan people feel that this is the man to help our country, boost the economy and change the country to what it should be, then all right.” Brakeville said he still needs some convincing, but
“at the end of the day, I still need convincing about any of the candidates.” Monnier said she was “happy to exercise her freedom” and that caucusing was “a good experience.” “Because I had actually gone and caucused, I was happy with the results and to have my one vote,” Monnier said. “Although my candidate didn’t win overall, it was still worth going, because it actually makes a difference, especially with how close the votes
were.” Monnier said caucusing was important to her. “I feel like a liberty not exercised is much easier to take away,” Monnier said. “Caucusing really makes you appreciate what we have here in the U.S. as a democracy. It’s something so many people fight so hard for all over the world, and it’s great that someone has already done that for us.”

Tuition: Enough is enough
T
he cross is one of the most popular symbols in Western culture. One can find it in ancient Christian monasteries and in the icons from several hundred years ago. It represents many things to many people. To first-century inhabitants of the Roman Empire, it represented humiliation. Roman administrators crucified the most egregious lawbreakers to make an example of them. The cross was scary. People hung from the cross even after they died to serve as an example to other would-be rabble-rousers. But early Christians turned the cross on its head. The cross came to remind early Christians of the sacrifice that Jesus made and his selflessness. For hundreds of years, Christians were persecuted as a minority in Rome. On the cross, Jesus allowed himself to be conquered for the good of mankind, as an example to mankind. Christians could easily identify with the rejection Jesus felt on the cross. The early Christians had no power. Jesus showed that evil can only be conquered with the heart, not with the sword. But in the fourth century, a Roman Emperor, Constantine, once again turned the cross around. Constantine had a vision of the cross in Alps with a banner saying In Hoc Signo Vinces or “In this sign, you will conquer.” He had his soldiers write the sign of the cross on their shields. He would later become the first Christian Emperor of Rome. From there through the Crusades and even up until now, the cross has been a sign of the majority, not the minority; the conquering, not the conquered. In our society, many people wear

the cross. Many people have a cross necklace and some a cross tattoo. But why do they wear it? Are they more like the pre-Constantine Christians or the post-Constantine Christians? Is the cross now used to remind people of radical love or radical rejection? For so many it seems easy to slap a cross on and claim the legacy of Jesus and his movement rather than living out the radical receptivity the cross actually represents. I know many who wear the cross and then love but many more who wear the cross and forget how heavy this symbol is. It has become the perfect excuse for dualistic thought, the well-practiced pattern of knowing most things by comparison. However, the cross seems to be calling Christians to a larger consciousness. As Richard Rohr writes in “Things Hidden: Scripture as Spirituality,” “Any exclusionary process of thinking, any exclusively dualistic thinking, will always create violent and hateful people on some level.” The original cross implores us to stop rejecting and start loving. As Rohr continues “we Christians, who dare to worship the scapegoat, Jesus, became many times in history the primary scapegoaters ourselves — of Jews, heretics, sinners, witches, homosexuals, the poor, the natives in the New World, slaves, other denominations and other religions. It’s rather hard to believe that we missed such a central message.”
Last December, the Iowa Board of Regents approved a 3.75 percent tuition increase for the University of Northern Iowa. Considering this is the first tuition increase many current UNI students have seen that remains within the rate of inflation, such a relatively small increase is a breath of fresh air. However, students can only continue to see the cost of higher education climb for so long before UNI ceases to be an affordable institution. Tuition and fees for an in-state undergraduate student this year costs $7,350, while today’s seniors were only paying $6,376 as freshmen — that’s nearly a $1,000 increase. The cost of room and board climbed roughly $600 in that same time, meaning that the average UNI senior is paying about
$1,600 more for their education than they were when they came to this university. We understand that some of this was necessary to counteract inflation and rising education costs, and that much of it was the result of budget shortfalls in the state. But with tuition now comprising the bulk of UNI’s general fund, the cost of higher education cannot be increasingly placed on the backs of students. It is up to our administration, our regents, our educators and we as students to stand up for higher education. The 2012 Iowa legislative session is beginning; work with the Northern Iowa Student Government and write your legislators to ensure that students are heard this year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I write this message as a former Northern Iowa Student Government senator, NISG Speaker of the Senate, member of the Student Services Fee Committee, University of Northern Iowa athlete and as a UNI alumnus. Every year, students pay a Student Service Fee to be a member of the UNI community. Within this fee, the students pay for a significant portion of the Athletic Department’s (AD) budget. When I was in school, the AD portion of the fee comprised 20 percent of the AD’s budget. The NISG president has always served as the head of the committee. During my time in NISG, the NISG president and vice president received presidential “kickbacks” from the AD. The kickbacks were all-expense-paid trips to the NCAA tournaments, away football playoff games, and the MVC Tournament in St. Louis. I found it
questionable as to whether the money paying for these particular trips came from the subsidy the student body presented the AD on a yearly basis. I regret to say that it appears the tradition continues. This is in no way to be construed as an attack on the great things the current president and vice president are implementing on campus, but a hope for an end to an unethical practice by members of NISG. In the interest of transparency on the part of the Student Services Fee Committee and in fairness to the student body that pays a significant portion of the AD budget, the practice of sending the NISG president on these trips needs to stop now. Sincerely, Mitch Lingo Speaker of the Senate, emeritus BA 2008

Godfather’s Pizza Express brings improved sales to 23rd Street Market in its first week JOHN ANDERSON Executive Editor
With its new partnership with Godfather’s Pizza Express, 23rd Street Market welcomes new menu items and increased pizza sales. “We probably sell about three times as much pizza as we did before,” said Chris Kenaga, 23rd Street Market manager, noting that it’s still early in the process to project future sales. The Market now features fresh Godfather’s pizza, chicken wings, chicken tenders, dessert pizza and pepperoni roles from the national franchise. The new menu items
were unveiled at a soft opening on January 6, and Kenaga feels the feedback was positive, saying in a press release that customers were enthusiastic about the flavor, serving sizes and value. “The opening went really well. Lot’s of people are really excited about the pizza here,” he said. The Market will hold a grand opening from January 23 to 27, featuring free samples and a drawing for a grand prize of a free pizza each week for a year. T.C. will also join the celebration on Monday of that week. The University of Northern Iowa Department
of Residence first reached out to Godfather’s at a food show. “We were looking for a better quality pizza product for 23rd Street Market,” said Carol Peterson, the director of UNI Dining Services for the DOR. Godfather’s was initially unwilling to form the partnership, but contacted the DOR last year about opening a Godfather’s Express on campus. Kenaga then spent a week in Omaha training to be a franchisee manager, and UNI became a franchisee of Godfather’s. A couple trainers See PIZZA, page 6

New semester, new study spots With the new semester underway, one way to get a fresh start is finding a new favorite study spot. While most students are familiar with the area around campus, there are a number of great places around Cedar Falls to hit the books (and give your mouth a little treat, too). Panera is the best option if you’re looking to accompany your studying with some sort of meal. Sandwiches are the best, and they have them. They also have a number of salads and baked goods. While Perkins is a little farther away, it’s one of the few places in the area that are open 24 hours. I discovered the joys of it last semester, and I fell so much in love. It’s a procrastinator’s paradise, really. The Wi-Fi is great, and so is the bottomless pot of coffee. Cup of Joe is a fantastic place to combine studying and
socializing. Reward yourself and your friends mid-studysession with one of the many board games. It’s the best place to go if you’re looking for topnotch coffee, fresh baked goods and a unique atmosphere. Order a Café Miel latte. You won’t regret it. Then there’s Blue Room, one of Cedar Falls’ many great bars. I heard about this idea last semester from a friend who used to do homework at the Tobacco Bowl and some Blue Room-like bar in Iowa City, but I have yet to attempt it. Blue Room is great, though, and if I were to ever do homework at a bar, it would be there. It’s one of the more chill ones. Sometimes they even have free popcorn. There’s a place to fit everyone’s needs, and venturing out to these places will also give you a glimpse at what else Cedar Falls has to offer.

Iowa experiencing unusually warm winter
‘Quiet’ weather pattern leads to lack of snow

JOHN ANDERSON/Northern Iowan
Students walk to class in the snow. With temperatures forecasted to rise above freezing by Sunday, the recent snowfall may not last long.
Rachel Suckow, a junior psychology major, loves that she’s not bundled up with scarves, mittens and a coat, but instead takes her time walking to class — in January. Cole Kramer, a junior marketing major, has been wearing shorts and sandals — in January. And Marissa Krein, a graduate student studying history, takes her dog for walks and sweats because of the heat — in January. So far this winter, besides the cold temperatures and snow yesterday and today, Iowa has seen milder temperatures than normal and low amounts of precipitation. Waterloo, for example, has had 1.1 inches of snowfall this winter, a difference of 8.7 inches from the normal value of 9.3 inches for the month of December, according to the National Weather Services. Why has Iowa (and the Midwest) had mild temperatures and scarce snowfall? According to Alan Czarnetzki, professor of meteorology, that’s a difficult question to answer. The lack of snow may be attributed to
the “quiet weather pattern” in Iowa and the Midwest. “The flow pattern of the atmosphere that we’ve had so far this winter really has not produced a lot of significant snowstorms,” Czarnetzki said. “Typically we do have a good number of snowstorms that pass through the Midwest during the month of December (and) also in January we can see some. (This winter) it has just been really quiet.” Kramer, Krein and Suckow were not bothered by the lack of snow at Christmas. Kramer said “most of the time it’s 50-50 if it snows (on Christmas) anyways.” “I was like, ‘It’s 60 out – let’s party!’” Krein said. The lack of snow makes it easier for “the sun to maintain a warmer ground temperature,” contributing to the milder temperatures, according to Czarnetzki. “If the ground is warmer, the air tends to be warmer as well,” Czarnetzki said. “When you don’t have snow cover, it’s easier to keep things milder.” Although temperatures have been milder, Waterloo has seen only one recordbreaking day. On Jan. 5, it was 59 degrees, breaking the previous record of 55 degrees on Jan. 5, 1956, according to
the National Weather Service. This year is a La Niña year, which usually results in colder weather in the northern United States and wet conditions in the southern United States. According to Czarnetzki, La Niña’s effect on Iowa “is not real clear.” “When we’ve had La Niña years in Iowa before, it’s kind of a mixed bag — sometimes we get cool and wet conditions, sometimes we get cool and dry conditions,” Czarnetzki said. “There has been a slight tendency for us to get cool and wet conditions when we have La Niñas. And that’s what was sort of expected for this winter and that has not panned out. In fact, it has not really happened over the northern states either.” Czarnetzki said the climate prediction center expects Iowa to be near normal on temperatures and near normal on precipitation until Jan. 24. As of press time, the weather forecast for Friday includes blustery conditions, with a high near 18. “That would suggest they do expect us to cool off and ultimately start receiving some snowfall, but climate predictions are not even as good, really, as weather predictions,” Czarnetzki said. “The forecast for December
and January that was made late in the fall didn’t work out that way, so you take it for what it’s worth.” According to Czarnetzki, in the winter of 2001-2002, Iowa saw similar weather conditions. A number of record highs were set in January 2002, with temperatures in the 60s. In addition, the first time Iowa received more than an inch of snow that winter was Jan. 31, when 4.2 inches of snow fell. “I think the fact that we’ve had three fairly harsh winters the last three winters makes this one seem that much more unusual,” Czarnetzki said. Krein is enjoying the weather that much more for that reason. “The last three years or whatever have been terrible!” Krein said. According to Czarnetzki, “if you’re going to have a dry period of time,” winter is a good time to have it, as the moisture isn’t really needed. “If we stay dry into the spring, there are concerns about soil moisture and crops and so on,” Czarnetzki said. Krein hopes the weather stays the way it is. “I love it — I don’t want it to snow,” Krein said.

The University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team was 8-1 and was coming off a 20-point drubbing of the University of Iowa Hawkeyes when the Northern Iowan last went to print. In the meantime, the Panthers have experienced their fair share of highs and lows. The Panthers currently sit at 12-5 (2-3 Missouri Valley Conference) and are tied for fifth place in the MVC, sitting two games behind

Over the course of winter break, while most University of Northern Iowa students were taking a vacation from classes, the UNI wrestling team was out competing in tournaments and dual meets. The first event of winter break was the Jim Fox Open at the University of Dubuque on Dec. 17. UNI had 12 wrestlers competing in the open, and five of them took home a first-place finish. Redshirt sophomore Joe Colon won the championship at 133 pounds. Freshmen Adam Perrin (141), Jarrett Jensen (157), Cody Caldwell (174) and Cody Krumweide (285) also took home the title in each of their weight classes. UNI wrestlers placing in the top six at the tournament included Kyle Lux (165 – third), Taylor Berger (165 – fourth), Austin
Gelbach (174 – fourth), Blaize Cabell (197 – fourth), Elliot Wirkler (165 – sixth), Cody Schurman (174 – sixth) and Onni Prestidge (184 – sixth). On Dec. 29 and 30, the Panthers competed in Evanston, Ill., at the Midlands Tournament. After the first day of competition, UNI’s 184-pound sophomore Ryan Loder was the only Panther wrestler on the front side of the bracket, with Colon and 157-pounder David Bonin still in competition within the consolation bracket. Colon secured a seventhplace finish at 133 pounds after pinning No. 9 Steven Keith of Harvard in the seventh-place match. On Colon’s way to placing seventh, he defeated two rated opponents. After Colon’s impressive showing at the Midlands, InterMat has Colon rated No. 12 See WRESTLING, page 9
BRAD’S SPORTS BLURB
Hop on the Tebow bandwagon BRAD EILERS Sports Editor
National Football League fans got to witness the 1-year-old overtime playoff rules for the first time last weekend--sort of. The reigning American Football Conference Champion Pittsburgh Steelers came back from a 14-point, thirdquarter deficit to tie the Denver Broncos, 23-23 to force overtime. However, overtime lasted a mere 11 seconds. It took Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas just 11
seconds to catch a strike from quarterback Tim Tebow and dash 80 yards to the endzone. Thomas finished the day with four catches for 204 yards and a touchdown against the NFL’s No. 1-ranked defense, which hadn’t allowed a 100yard receiver all season long. However, as has been the case since week six of the NFL season, Tebow was the story of the game. After starting the year 1-4 behind quarterback Kyle Orton, the Broncos turned to Tebow to give the team a spark, or to
silence the Tebowmaniacs, who had been calling for Tebow to start all season long. Either way, the move paid off. The Broncos went from a legitimate contender to land Stanford University quarterback Andrew Luck with the No. 1 overall draft pick this April to possessing a record of 8-5 and leading the AFC West.

nationally. No. 6-ranked Loder finished up the tournament in third place by winning a 10-2 major decision against Braden Atwood from Purdue in the consolation final. Bonin was eliminated in the second day of competition after losing a 12-4 major decision to Daniel Kolodzik from Princeton. On Jan. 6, the Panthers hosted their first of two Wester n Wrestling Conference (WWC) duals. The University of Northern Colorado Bears ultimately fell to the UNI Panthers with a score of 22-16. The Panthers started the night strong with major decisions at both 125 and 133 from senior Cruse Aarhus and Colon, respectively. UNC went on to win four of the five following matches. David Bonin picked up a 12-3 major decision at 157 pounds against Charlie McMartin of UNC. UNI secured the dual win, with the last three wrestlers of the evening reigning victorious. Loder tied up the team score at 16-16 after winning a 13-2 major decision against UNC’s Patrick Gomez. In a close match, UNI’s 197-pounder Taylor Kettman pulled out a 3-2 win over Nick Bayer. Junior Blayne Beale sealed UNI’s victory, winning 6-3 in the heavyweight match against Henry Chirino. On Jan. 7, UNI won their second WWC dual of the season, defeating the Air Force Academy 33-12 in the West Gym. The Panthers now sit with a 3-3 over-
all dual record and a 2-0 record within the WWC. UNI established a strong lead against Air Force by winning the first four matches of the dual. Beale picked up a major decision against Brook Gosch followed by Aarhus claiming a 16-0 technical fall over Mengyuan Qiu. Colon came next, narrowly defeating Tyler Untrauer of AFA 5-4. Next, 141-pounder Levi Wolfensperger added six points to the Panther lead after pinning AFA’s Carter McElhaney. The Panthers won four of the final five matches with Bonin, Riley Banach (165) and Kettmen all picking up decisions for the team. Pushing the Panthers forward another six points, Loder pinned AFA’s Greg Isley in a little more than five minutes. Loder has had an impressive season thus far, and he currently holds a 22-1 overall record. At the William Penn Open, three UNI wrestlers had first-place finishes. Seth Noble (141), Caldwell and Krumwiede all reigned victorious in their respective weight classes. Other UNI placewinners at the William Penn Open include Jensen with third place and Gelbach in second. Caldwell and Gelbach faced each other in the final, with Caldwell winning with a 5-1 decision, giving him his second open tournament title of the season. Krumweide now sits with three open tournament titles so far this season. UNI hosts another home dual Friday at 7 p.m. in the West Gym against the University of Wisconsin Badgers.
from three-point range. The Panthers finished their non-conference slate with a Rankings Percentage Index (RPI) of 18 after having played the eighth-toughest non-conference schedule in the nation. Following the loss to Ohio, the Panthers had nine days off before returning to action on the road against Illinois State University to start MVC play. The long layoff didn’t help the Panthers any, as they dropped a 65-61 contest at the hands of the Redbirds. UNI returned home hoping to turn things around against the University of Evansville Purple Aces, but were unsuccessful, dropping their third straight game, 76-65. After starting MVC play 0-2, the Panthers were able to bounce back with a home win over a tough Indiana State University Sycamores team, and then went on the road to defeat their instate MVC rivals, the Drake

University Bulldogs. With the victory over Drake, the Panthers clinched the mythical state title by virtue of victories over Drake, Iowa and Iowa State University this season. Tuesday night, the Panthers had the tough task of traveling to Omaha, Neb., to face No. 21-ranked Creighton University and the McDermotts. While UNI held Doug McDermott to 14 points (11 below his season average), the Panthers dropped a heartbreaker, 63-60. UNI has been playing with newfound energy and aggressiveness on both the ends of the floor since their three-game skid and can hopefully get on a roll starting this Friday when they host the Missouri State Bears at 7 p.m. UNI’s strong non-conference showing as well as their up-and-down mid-sea-
Should field goals be eliminated from football? PAUL KOCKLER Sports Columnist
We can all remember a football game that has been decided by a devastating missed field goal. An example of this happened last week when Stanford University lost the Fiesta Bowl as a result of shaky kicking in the clutch moments. The next day, the talking heads on ESPN debated whether field goal kicking should be eliminated from the game and make every team go for it on fourth down every time. Place kicking in pro football is successfully converted more than 80 percent of the time, which is a terrible percentage for the kickers. It is high enough that most fans believe that every kick should

be made, while just low enough that missing a kick is very possible, especially under high-pressure circumstances, which are the ones we remember. It doesn’t help that coaches call plays to set up field goals instead of playing to score touchdowns, further adding to the pressure. Kicking rules as we know them in professional football have been around since 1972, so it would be hard to imagine the game without kicking. I don’t believe field goal kicking will be phased out anytime soon, but let’s think about what if.

son stretch looks eerily similar to what the 2010-2011 team went through. Last season, the Panthers went 9-3 against some strong non-conference opponents and possessed a top-30 RPI. However, the team stumbled to a 1-3 start in MVC play. When it looked like the Panthers would fade away, they suddenly strung together eight straight victories to pull their record to 18-6 and moved into second place in the MVC. Although the Panthers only won one more game over the remainder of the regular season, they had put themselves in a position to contend for another MVC title before senior center Lucas O’Rear went down with a seasonending injury. If the Panthers can continue to play with the same mentality and energy that they have over the past three games and they can avoid injuries, the Panthers should be able to contend for a top-three finish in the MVC and a shot at a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
