‘OCCUPY’ MOVEMENT

‘WE ARE THE 99 PERCENT’ Nationwide protest comes to Cedar Falls

RACHEL ZIDON Staff Writer

Two hundred University of Northern Iowa students and Cedar Falls community members added their voices to growing worldwide protests against corporate greed in a rally and march on Oct. 15. The events were sparked by the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York City, where protesters have been staying a few blocks from Wall Street in Zuccotti Park since Sept. 17. Since then, similar “Occupy” protests have sprung up around the country and the world, from Iowa City to Sydney, Australia. The movement has generally sought to call attention to See PROTEST, page 2

UNI STAND Edelman emphasizes need to end child poverty holds Congo Advancement of Colored People Week events during the Voter Education “Where is our human herd? Where is our community?” - Marian Wright Edelman

DANIELLE KRULL Staff Writer

Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president of the Children’s Defense Fund, began her lecture “The Future of Our Children in a Post-9/11 World” by sharing her personal story of 9/11. Edelman was at an interfaith service of Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Jews and people from other religions in Atlanta, Ga. When she received the news about the towers being hit, she said she felt “the world spinning out of control.” Edelman, who spoke at the University of Northern Iowa on Oct. 14, was the first AfricanAmerican woman admitted to the Mississippi Bar Association and worked as an attorney for the National Association for the

Project of the Civil Rights Movement. During that time, she worked with Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. After 9/11, Edelman went to Ground Zero to watch the cleanup. She said that during the cleanup “there was no gender, no race, but everyone helping each other.” Edelman believes that people should be more worried about the fact that children in the United States, one of the wealthiest nations in the world, are living in extreme poverty without receiving education or health care, rather than worrying that children are living in a world of fear of terrorism from overseas.

Senate to vote on tuition increase resolution JOHN ANDERSON Executive Editor

The Northern Iowa Student Government senate will vote on a resolution to support a tuition increase for the 2012-2013 academic year this Wednesday. The proposed resolution, sponsored by speaker of the senate Ryan Alfred, currently supports a 3.75 percent increase, which matches the amount proposed by the Iowa Board of Regents and supported by University of Northern Iowa President Benjamin Allen. The student senates of the University of Iowa and Iowa State University recently passed resolutions supporting 3.75 percent increases for their respective institutions. The proposed increase falls within the Higher Education Pricing Index range, an approximate measure of the increases and decreases in the costs of salaries, services and materials

used to facilitate higher education, which is projected to be 2.2 to 4 percent. The senate first read the resolution last Wednesday. Controversy arose when senators were unable to agree on an amount to support or whether to recommend any tuition increase at all, keeping in consideration the rising costs of higher education, declining financial support from the state and the tuition increases of the past few years. The senate will vote on the resolution during their regular meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the University Room. The final resolution will be sent to the Iowa Board of Regents, which will vote on tuition for the 2012-13 academic year during their Oct. 26-27 meeting at UNI.

ment. Meyers said that the protests showed Cedar Falls that students and community members are “waking up” and paying attention to America’s political and economic situation. Chris Schwartz works for the nonprofit Working Families Win and helped organize the Cedar Falls protests. He said that although Wells Fargo, which received bailout money during the 2008 financial crisis, “isn’t the worst of all the offenders,” it served as a symbol of problems in America’s financial system. In a meeting on Oct. 12, Schwartz said that the financial crisis has heightened political involvement in the Cedar Valley, noting that in his 11 years of working as a community organizer, he had never been to a planning meeting with so many people. “We had the biggest economic meltdown ... in my lifetime,” Schwartz said. “There was a lot of corruption, a lot of fraud and no one has gone to jail ... We bailed them all out.” Like protesters in New York

City, participants in the Occupy Cedar Falls march came to address a wide variety of issues, from income inequality to a lack of jobs in the U.S. to the mining of conflict minerals in the Congo. Senior sociology major Stacy Krajicek went to the protest to express her concerns about a lack of jobs for graduating students. “(The movement) is something good to get involved with. We need to fight for our rights,” Krajicek said. UNI alumnus Brandon Long went to the protest carrying a sign reading “Greed is our policy.” He said he went for a variety of reasons, but primarily to advocate for people in the Congo, whom he said have been victimized by corporations mining for conflict minerals without regard for human rights. “I feel that I am not represented by a political party in this country,” Long said. This wide range of perspectives and issues has sparked some criticism of the movement. Daniel Jensen, president

of UNI College Republicans, said that while he fully supports the protesters’ rights to speak out, he finds their message confusing. “We have a whole bunch of guys who are using their freedom of speech, and that’s wonderful, but we don’t know what they’re talking about,” Jensen said. Jensen disagrees with calls to tax the rich. “I hope if we’re trying to equalize income (it’s) by making the poor better off, not by taking from the top tier ... They are the wealth generators,” Jensen said. Jim Davis, a retired Methodist pastor who went to the protests, acknowledged the movement’s wide range of views. “I think there is a generalized discontent in this country,” Davis said. “This movement has been criticized for not having any specific goals. (Those goals) will come out of the movement. It’s really important to this generation to stand up and be counted.”

The article “Pride Cry kicks off Homecoming” in the Oct. 7, 2011 issue of the Northern Iowan misquotes Derrick Knight and Skylar Mayberry-Mayes. The article also erroneously states that the Pride Cry format was changed to require less rehearsal time and creativity; the format was in fact changed due to time constraints and in order to focus performances on creatively incorporating the UNI Fight Song.

Throughout the lecture, Edelman called on Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of community by encouraging the audience to “make noise” and “throw a ruckus” about “the big gap between the haves and the have nots.” “Grapple ourselves as people, and demand more of our leaders by appealing to their best selves and not their worst selves and commit to end child poverty,” Edelman said.

“Where is our human herd? Where is our community?” Edelman asked. “Edelman is a champion of children’s rights,” said Charletta Sudduth, a UNI alumna and Title I Preschool Consultant for Waterloo schools. “I have admired her calls, compassion, fortitude and strength for a long time.” Jill and Mark Mortenson, Cedar Falls community members, thought Edelman had a “great message, delivered with the passion of one who can move us to action.” Edelman concluded the lecture by urging the audience to not be silent. “End this terrible era,” Edelman said. “This is not about us, but about our children.”

Performances by the African Student Union and a poetry reading by UNI English professor PierreDamien Mvuyekure will lead in to Dibinga’s performance. The event is free and open to the public. Wedeking stressed the importance of awareness about the conflict, posing the question, “Are your cell phones and laptops helping fuel the conflict?” According to Wedeking, many metals incorporated into current technology are found in the Congo, exacerbating the conflict by funding competing militant groups.

Despite these statistics, UNI Students Taking Action Now in Darfur’s president Kourtny Wedeking said that “not many people hear about (the DRC conflict) since it’s not shown much in the media.” The events kicked off Monday with a reading of the book “King Leopold’s Ghost,” a book about the exploitation of Congolese resources by Belgium between 1885 and 1908. On Tuesday, the film “Lumumba” will be shown at 7 p.m. in Lantz Auditorium (room 137) of McCollum Science Hall. There will be an advocacy event with the Cedar Valley United Nations Association on Wednesday in the same location. The week of events culminates on Thursday with a performance by Omekongo Dibinga, a motivational speaker, rapper and talk show host.

Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah was building the boat. Don’t listen to critics or naysayers. Step out for what is right. Travel in pairs. Noah’s ark was built by amateurs where the Titanic was built by professionals.” She mentioned a YouTube video entitled “Battle at Kruger Park” in which a herd of buffalo were being chased by a lion and one of the baby buffalo got snatched, but the herd came together to rescue the one baby buffalo.

There aren’t many smiles left for me

nother Homecoming has graced us and yet again, in my third year at the University of Northern Iowa, I am left with a bitter taste in my mouth. Every Homecoming leaves me in a highly pessimistic mind-set. Yes, it is a great time to celebrate our pride for our school and to celebrate these years as the greatest years of our life, but for me, it just reminds me of something darker. We live in an age of ignorance, disrespect and official “Jersey Shore” Halloween costumes. Out of that, it reminds me that I have very little invested in my own generation. It reminds me that I have little to smile about nowadays. I’m often met with confusion and alienation

LETTER TO THE EDITOR A response to ‘The damage of capitalism’ There has never been such a powerful tool to spur investment in order to increase our standard of living quite like capitalism. Capitalism maximizes output while using the least amount of resources. This is done through lower costs, efficiencies in production, etc. This is primarily done by the private sector, which gives the people the opportunity to compete against each other. Socialism, on the other hand, is when the state dictates the means of production. When examining the current situation of the United States, people tend to believe that this country is a capitalistic society. This is not the case. Under a truly capitalistic society, the private sector would be the true owners of production. The United States federal government alters this production through many different means including taxes, regulations, embargoes, etc. These distortions in the market are created through the federal govern-

ment and allocate resources against the free market. This is crony capitalism. In a free market, resources would flow to the industry that would create the largest benefit. When people talk about health care, they believe that there aren’t enough resources going to the health care industry, and this should be changed. They go to the government in order to bring about a solution that they believe is best for the people. This is contrary to the free market system. Once the government gets involved, the market becomes distorted, making the costs go up. A clear example is the housing market. The prices of houses skyrocketed, which hurt the low-income earners. Any time the government gets involved, costs go up and inefficiencies arise. Crony capitalism is not the same as capitalism. Google “How an Economy Grows and Why It Doesn’t” for a good cartoon illustration of true capitalism. Tony Rouse Graduate assistant, accounting

Against behaviorism

f all the modern “sciences,” perhaps the most telling of our time are the “behavioral sciences.” Underlying all behavioral theories is the assumption that man’s activities may be reduced solely to his activities, a Pavlovian animal par excellence. While this may seem harmless, I contend it is an indication of the withering away of human freedom in exchange for a beast that may be counted and predicted. As Hannah Arendt, possibly the greatest political philosopher since Montesquieu, reminds us: “The unfortunate truth about behaviorism and the validity of its ‘laws’ is that the more people there are, the more likely they are to behave and the less likely they are to tolerate non-behavior.” The very nature of human freedom lies in the ability to act spontaneously and create a new beginning. If man becomes an animal whose actions can be calculated, then that person cannot be said to be fully human. The Libertarian and Scientific Man may discount

GREG GREUBEL greubelg@ gmail.com

this view of freedom as folly. They could argue that freedom is actually personal sovereignty. While the logicality of this view is powerfully consistent, it remains based on the false view that man and not men inhabit the earth. No one living on this planet is able to derive anything in isolation. Thus, to assume that something so essential to the human condition as freedom is based upon man is absurd. Everything that we believe has been formed in the company of others. However, a dwindling of robust discussion is clearly having an adverse affect on society. The very fact that behaviorism is such a powerful idea today points to a fundamental lack of freedom in the modern age. There is no doubt that the increasing scientificality of society coupled with See BEHAVIORISM, page 5

DISILLUSIONMENT

technological changes, both issues which demand further investigation, have allowed our age to be sucked into the vacuum of shallow ideas and pointless arguments. This isolation and dismissal of differing views is a sickness of our society that points to increasingly isolated groups. This isolation amounts to a shrinking of one’s perspective in exchange for the certainty of their position. As Arendt says, “Being seen and heard by others derive their significance from the fact that everybody sees and hears from a different position. This is the meaning of public life, compared to which even the richest and most satisfying family life can offer only the prolongation or multiplication of one’s own position and its attending aspects and perspectives.” However, this being seen and being heard from a different perspective requires that people actually exchange opinions — as opposed to arguing religious and atheistic dogma. The exchange of opinion is so essential to our ability to create a new beginning and act against those “laws” of behaviorism that the very idea of being a “conformist” offends nearly everyone. This simple recognition is a sign that there is something inherently inhuman about one’s actions being predictable due to their belonging to a group or political party. It is almost parody to find members of a group rallying against conformism in such as way that one could anticipate each individual’s argument without knowing their name. With all of the talk of freedom nowadays, anyone that has a real concern with the issue ought to first consider these behavioral “sciences.” While they are not going to take your guns or tax you a little more to pay for public universities, they are pointing to sickness of the modern age that will continue to dominate if nothing is done.

On top of that, the entire week is spent simply wallowing in anticipation to do it again. I used to get mad when people would call America a fat wasteland full of ignorance. Now, it seems I tend to agree; at least in colleges across our country. I’m not trying to go out of my way to insult people or inflate my own ego, but I can’t be the only one who is starting to see this. If I am, we are in trouble. I guess I just have really high expectations for humanity and they simply aren’t being met. I can’t help but cringe when I hear someone complain about watching a movie because it’s old and not in color or about actually having to open a physical book. All we do is live on Facebook and look forward to getting smashed. I honestly feel that we are capable of a little more than that, but I see no silver linings breaking out anytime soon. Don’t blame society, MTV or our young people for the removed, party-every-day atmosphere of college. It has been that way for decades. Every time I think about how it has been this way for that long makes me throw my head back and laugh hysterically. If you stop and break down the partying social construct of college, it truly is one of the most pathetic things in existence. It’s an expectation born out of insecurities, meager intelligence and a flat-out lack of personality. The rest of us somehow got sucked into believing it was worthwhile.

Members of the Cedar Valley community walk the streets as living dead during the first College Hill Zombie Walk, hosted by Mohair Pear and the Other Place.

ALEX McDANIEL Staff Writer

“I don’t know most of these people very well, but we have something in common – we’re zombies for today,” Dave Deibler said on Saturday. Deibler, co-owner of Mohair Pear, along with numerous other “zombified” students, participated in the first College Hill Zombie Walk on Oct. 15 at 5 p.m. in front of Mohair Pear. The walk looped around the College Hill area and ended at the Other Place restaurant. When the “undead” reached the OP, a best zombie

contest took place. The ghoulish walk was meant to raise money for the Cedar Bend Humane Society. A zombified dog accompanied the group. “This is our 17th year of business, and we are looking for ways to have fun and break out from what we do every day … (and) to do stuff for charity – this is the stuff we want to be doing,” said Deibler. The young and old participated in the walk, each with a different take on the zombie look, from a cinematic zombie to a zombie doctor and a zombie bride. During the walk, the

undead crew moved and acted en masse. When a city bus was stopped at a stop sign, the entire mob swarmed the bus, taunting those inside with grunts, screams and demands for brains. When a couple was filling up their tires with air at Kwik Star, the crew got close enough to touch them. All of this was done cooperatively with no one leading and no one following, as if they had lost their sense of humanity. Three zombie teens — Jordyn Good, Claire Philips, and Jennifer Dannini, all sophomores at Waterloo West High School — participated in the walk. Their favorite part

Most of the time, indulging in a large quantity of cupcakes results only in consuming empty calories, but that won’t be the case from Nov. 1-8 when an organization called She’s the First holds a Tie-Dye Cupcake Bake-Off. The event will take place nationwide. The University of Northern Iowa branch will participate Nov. 1-2, selling cupcakes in Maucker Union for $1 each. She’s the First is a nonprofit group that sponsors young girls’ education in the developing world, helping them be the first in their families to graduate high school. Tehrene Firman, president of the UNI branch, says she has always loved helping others and doing nonprofit work. So when the founder of the organization, Tammy Tibbetts,

Although there were many zombies that participated in the zombie walk, there were a few zombie hunters as well. Nate Lawrence-Richards and Ben Ahlschwede were part of that faction. They were first-time hunters and came up with the idea the night before, inspired by the thought of actually having to pack up for a real zombie apocalypse.

“I would grab (weapons), sleeping bags, tent, load everything in a golf bag and go Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on everybody,” said Ahlschwede. The winner of the zombie contest, Jackie Bean in a zombie wife costume, grew up in Cedar Falls and is a graduate of Iowa State University. She and her husband Jake said they had a good time on the walk. The couple had thought out their plan in case a zombie apocalypse broke out, calling it their “Convoy Plan.” “Get three or four cars See ZOMBIES, page 7

Scripts needed for 10-Minute Play Festival OLIVIA HOTTLE Fine Arts Writer

The UNI Student Theatre Association (UNISTA) is calling all creative playwrights who wish to see their visions come to life to submit scripts for its Sixth Annual 10-Minute Play Festival. “It’s a fun experience for everyone. It’s a good way for students to get their plays on their feet,” said Ryan Decker, a senior theatre performance major and president of UNISTA. “A lot of people write plays and don’t have that experience of seeing that play acted out.” Scripts are being accepted until Dec. 17 and have no specific criteria they must meet to be considered. They will be judged by the five members of the UNISTA board. “(In scripts, we look for) anything that’s good, really,” Decker said. “I’m not the only

one who reads them. I’ll have a different sort of taste and preference ... Really, just the strongest voice each individual playwright can make, the better.” Decker says even though the plays may only be staged with minimal lighting and set pieces, it’s still beneficial for student writers to experience what the play “looks like or sounds like when it’s not in (their) head.” There are also no qualifications for students to meet in order to audition or submit scripts. In early January, after the winning scripts are decided upon, a call will go out in search of directors. Chosen directors will then decide which 10-minute play they would like to be in charge of. “(Students) get an experience in directing, which is a See PLAY, page 7

Conversation partners provide learning and companionship LINH TA Staff Writer

Conversation Partners is a program available at the University of Northern Iowa that provides a vivid cultural experience for students involved. The program brings together fluent and non-fluent English speakers, allowing them to converse with one another and providing an opportunity for non-English speakers to get hands-on experience with their learning of the English language. Run by UNI’s Cultural Intensive English Program (CIEP) at least once a week, students get together and discuss anything from cultural traditions, politics, religion, or hobbies, according to Joanna Eggert, a senior studying speech-language pathology. “It’s neat because you know that you’re helping them with their transition into American life just by giving them more practice with their English,” said Eggert. “It’s a really rewarding experience because you get to build a strong friendship with them and it’s a unique relationship as well since it’s so cross-cultural.” Students involved are from a variety of backgrounds, including Vietnam, Brazil and Venezuela. Amber Irlmeier, a sophomore studying actuarial science and finance, enjoys spending time with her partner, Abbas Alawana, from Saudi Arabia. “I love learning about new cultures and I thought that if I was speaking with someone who didn’t know English that well, then I’d be learning about another culture as well,” said Irlmeier. While the Conversation Partners program benefits CIEP students with learning English, it provides an array of benefits for English speakers as well. According to Eggert, the partners learn about each other’s communities and gain a vast amount of knowledge. “It’s really easy to get

trapped in the American view and not really see other aspects from a different point of view,” said Eggert. “If we don’t have interaction from people in a different culture or background, it leaves us ignorant because we’re not educated on what’s going on in the world and how different cultures and societies operate.” From Eggert’s conversation partners, she has met many new friends whom she enjoys spending time with. Eggert and her friends do activities that may not be available in the CIEP students’ home countries such as ice skating or bowling, but they also participate in common interests such as shopping or cooking. “They’re always so hospitable,” said Eggert, “and it’s so awesome being able to experience more of their culture – especially the food.” The process of participating in Conversation Partners is simple. Irlmeier merely signed up and then received an email about her conversation partner and a PowerPoint about the things that they do together. For her first meeting with Alawana, she remembers bringing a whole list of questions to get to know him. Now they casually hang out and enjoy one another’s company. “He still teases me about the first time we met because I had that list of questions,” said Irlmeier. “He’s like, ‘we’re supposed to have a conversation and you’re interviewing me.’” Conversation Partners provides not only a learning experience, but an opportunity to make friends and widen a perspective. For Eggert, Conversation Partners has helped her expand her view of not only people, but the entire globe. “It’s been good because it’s been eye-opening in terms of the diversity of the people there are in our planet,” said Eggert. “It’s been good to even be challenged in the American way of thinking.”

Strong second half propels UNI past SDSU, 31-14 BRAD EILERS Sports Editor

University of Northern Iowa senior quarterback Tirrell Rennie had a career night Saturday as the No. 2-ranked Panthers defeated Missouri Valley Football Conference foe South Dakota State University 31-14 in Brookings, S.D. Rennie completed 16 of his 20 pass attempts for 239 yards and a career-high four touchdowns against no interceptions. UNI is one of just four Football Championship Subdivision schools that have not thrown an interception this season. After falling behind 14-7 in the second quarter, the Panthers (5-1, 4-0 MVFC) scored 24 unanswered points to record their first 4-0 start in MVFC play since 2007 when they finished the year 6-0 in conference play. UNI has five games remaining, four of which are MVFC games. Although the Panthers were outgained in terms of total yards 431-394, the UNI defense forced four interceptions and one fumble, while turning the ball over just once. The Panthers allowed just 77 rushing yards for the game and held the Jackrabbits to 124 yards of offense in the second half, 78 of which came on their final drive of the game against UNI’s preventive defense.

SDSU (2-5, 1-3 MVFC) scored first, capitalizing on a David Johnson fumble at the UNI 47 yard line midway through the first quarter. The Jacks took seven plays to drive 47 yards, scoring on a four-yard touchdown pass from Austin Sumner to Aaron Rollin. After an offensive threeand-out, UNI senior safety Tre’Darrius Canady intercepted a Sumner pass, which set up UNI’s first touchdown of the game. Junior running back Carlos Anderson took a handoff 57 yards – the longest run of his career – for the key play of the drive. Moments later, Rennie connected with junior receiver Terrell Sinkfield on an eight-yard touchdown pass to knot the game at 7-7 just before the end of the first quarter. SDSU answered with a 15-play, 80-yard drive that took 6:34 off the clock. Sumner connected with Dale Moss on a three-yard pass to give SDSU a 14-7 lead with barely nine minutes remaining in the second quarter. After another punt, the UNI defense came up big again as senior linebacker James Conley forced a fumble at the SDSU 19-yard line. On the very next play, Rennie connected with sophomore tight end Darion Howard for a 19-yard touchdown strike to tie the contest at 14-14 with 6:06 left

The No. 12-ranked University of Northern Iowa volleyball team added two more Missouri Valley Conference victories to their record when they traveled to Drake University and Creighton University last weekend. UNI (19-1, 9-0 MVC) topped Drake 3-1 with scores of 25-19, 21-25, 25-16 and 25-23. The Panthers then traveled to Creighton where they added another sweep to their record when they took down the Blue Jays 3-0 by scores of 25-22, 25-23 and 25-12. Megan Lehman led the Panthers with 14 kills against Drake (6-14, 2-6 MVC) and Amy Braun and Shelby Kintzel each added 10 of their own. Bre Payton had another great match when she recorded 41 assists and nine kills. The first set of the instate matchup was close from the start as the two teams pulled even at 15-15. However, UNI went on a 9-1 run to give themselves a 24-16 advantage in the set. Kintzel would eventually put an end to the set with a kill to make the final score 25-19. The second set was another close one with the score tied at 17 apiece at one point. However, it was the Bulldogs who would have the game-deciding run of 6-1 to give them a 23-18 lead. Drake would eventually take the set 25-21 to tie the match at 1-1. The Panthers came out on fire after the break in the action. UNI took an early lead and never looked back as they took the set 25-16. UNI started out the fourth set with a double-digit lead of 14-4 and it looked like the match was as good as over. However, Drake caught fire and clawed their way back into the set, closing the gap to just one point at 22-21. The Panthers would take the set from there with a final kill from Lehman, making the final score 25-23 and

UNI took a 21-14 lead into the locker room after junior cornerback Varmah Sonie intercepted a pass in the endzone with 15 seconds remaining in the half. After a scoreless third quarter, Rennie connected

with Sinkfield for another touchdown, this time coming from 22 yards out, to give UNI a 28-14 lead with 13:41 remaining in regulation. Sophomore kicker Tyler Sievertsen added a 35-yard field goal with just over six minutes remaining to set the final score at 31-14. The Panthers return to action Saturday as they host MVFC rival Southern Illinois University. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m.

University of Wisconsin head football coach Bret Bielema plays without sportsmanship. The Badgers lead the nation in offensive points per game. Last year the Badgers finished fifth in the nation in points per game — but not for lack of trying. No example is a better showing of their efforts than the Wisconsin-Minnesota matchup last year. In the fourth quarter Bielema decided to go for a two-point conversion, despite leading by 25 points. This certainly did little for the relationship between Bielema and the Minnesota

Black Hawks split weekend, lead Western Conference DUSTIN WOODY Sports Writer

The Waterloo Black Hawks lost in Dubuque on Friday night but bounced back to win their home opener against the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders on Saturday. Friday’s score was 3-1 in favor of the Fighting Saints, and Waterloo beat Cedar Rapids by the same score on Saturday. Kenny Matheson scored 17 minutes and 10 seconds into the first period in Friday’s contest for Dubuque with assistance from Shane Sooth and Jake Downing. Matheson’s brother Mike scored just over two minutes later, accepting a pass from Kenny Matheson and goaltender Matt Morris. Waterloo’s lone goal came at the 10:30 mark of the third period as Max Edson beat Morris with help from Taylor Cammarata

and Peter Hand. T.J. Moor of the Saints added an empty-net goal from Sooth at 19:42 to seal the 3-1 final. Waterloo went 0-for-4 on power play chances and Dubuque was 0-for-2. On Saturday, Cammarata started Waterloo’s scoring at the 11:39 mark of the first period, firing Vince Hinostroza’s pass around RoughRiders goaltender Jake Hildebrand. Cammarata and Edson assisted Hinostroza’s goal at 17:40, and this would prove to be the game-winner. Landon Smith scored for Cedar Rapids at the 8:01 mark of the second period with assistance from Andrew Oglevie, but A.J. Michaelson scored at the 11:38 mark of the third frame to seal the win for the Black Hawks. Waterloo improved to 3-1-1 overall (seven See BLACK HAWKS, page 10

Payton had another high assist count with 34. The game began with ties at 14, 15 and 16 before Creighton took a late lead at 21-19. However, UNI rallied back and overtook the Blue Jays 25-22. The second set was simi-

lar to the first with multiple lead changes and great play by both teams. The set was tied at 23-23 until Braun threw down back-to-back kills to give the Panthers the 25-23 win in the second set. UNI went on an early 7-0 run to jump out to a 7-2 lead in the third set. UNI used that momentum to coast to an easy 25-12 victory and swept the Blue Jays 3-0. The Panthers return to action Monday night at 7 p.m. when they host nonconference foe North Dakota State University.

game they didn’t reach 45, they beat the University of Nevada-Las Vegas 35-0. One of the best qualities of the Big Ten Conference is its coaches. Most of them display professional and sportsmanlike tendencies on a regular basis, something that makes Bielema’s exploits look even more absurd. Try to imagine Penn State University continuing an offensive onslaught against a team they are beating by 40 or more points. It would not happen. Joe Paterno is too respectful of a coach. The Nittany Lions’ largest margin of victory this year is 34 points, equal to Wisconsin’s smallest margin of victory. We’re in an age of football that is obsessed with winning votes in the polls to make it into the Bowl Championship Series games. To win votes, some coaches try to put up as many points as possible. University of Oregon head coach Chip Kelly is no different. In each game he focuses on using his high-octane offense to put up points — something every coach tries to do. The difference is both Bielema and Kelly continue to put up as many points as possible, even after the game is decided. This type of behavior seems unacceptable at any level of competition and truthfully in any sport. That said, if it were the National Football League, it may not seem so disrespectful. College football is not the premiere stage of football, and some coaches are beating opponents into the dirt. The worst part is, the opponents are young studentathletes. It is one thing to win a game, but another to strip away an opponents dignity in a game that has already been decided. Coaches should put in their substitutes earlier in games. Many student-athletes spend their entire career on the sidelines, so if you have the comfort of a lead, make the right call. Let some of the younger players gain some valuable in-game experience and protect your starters from unnecessary injuries. But above all else, do it out of respect for the game of football.
