Participants rushed around the Gilchrist parking lot assembling their f loats for the homecoming parade Saturday morning.

Despite the chilly 30-degree weather, golf carts quickly transformed into purple and gold fairytales before judging took place. University Book and Supply sponsored the event.

Numerous student organizations took part in the parade, such as Sigma Phi Epsilon, the Panther Pep Crew, Bender Hall, Phi Sigma Pi, Residence Hall Association, Rod Library and many others.

Floats were assembled the morning of the parade this year due to lack of storage space for the golf carts, which are normally held in the Neilson Field House

Miz Elizabeth, lead vocalist of the Hot Sardines, gets into the groove of the band’s first song. The Hot Sardines performed Saturday night in the Gallagher Bluedorn Perfoming Arts Center.

The Hot Sardines kicked off their Midwest tour at UNI on Saturday night. In the spirit of the swinging sound of the Hot Sardines, the Gallagher Bluedorn’s foyer was decorated with a small bar, volunteers in 1920’s apparel and many decorative standing tables to “get people in the mood for the show” said Steve Carignan, Associate Dean at the GBPAC. Additionally, a pre-show reception was held for donors of the GBPAC to celebrate the past 15 years.

The pre-show included UNI Ballroom and Swing performing their own swing dance number,

dancing lessons afterwards.

After a few audience members joined the group to try their hand at swinging, more people began to join.

Choreographers from UNI Ballroom and Swing led the swing dance lessons with the audience until the Hot Sardines performed.

The Hot Sardines took the stage and dispelled the fourth wall that is set between the performers and their audience. With the pit replaced by a dance floor, the UNI Ballroom and Swing, along with several students and community members, danced along to the music of the Hot Sardines.

Pi Sigma Epsilon plans to bring back their f lex meals project mid-November. PSE is a co-ed national sales and marketing fraternity that takes on a wide range of service and for-profit projects each year.

The service project was essentially created to serve and impact community members in need by utilizing UNI student f lex meals that often go unused.

From law enforcement to incarceration ABBI COBB

|

Thursday, Oct. 1 marked the first Iowa Criminal Justice Summit. It was a daylong event that was held in Maucker Ballroom and worked to address the systemic problems facing our criminal justice system today. The room was filled with several prominent speakers, from local law enforcement agents and ex-offenders to policy makers, all with a common goal: criminal justice reform. The topics ranged from mental illness in relation to crime, racial disparity among arrest and incarceration and the lack of programs that aid in societal re-entry.

“When I got ready to go to prison,” said Kerik, “I expected to see some really bad guys in there. I put them there. You

know who I met? I met a commercial fisherman that caught too many fish. I met a young man that sold a whale’s tooth on eBay.” Kerik is set apart from the majority of convicted criminals because he has personally seen both sides of the American criminal justice system. Prior to his 48-month prison sentence, he was appointed Secretary of Homeland Security by President George W. Bush on Dec. 3, 2004.

One week after committing to the secretary position, Kerik withdrew, explaining that for the past two years he had been evading taxes by paying his children’s nanny in cash. Not only that, but Kerik had unknowingly employed an undocumented worker as a nanny.

President Bush’s appointment of Kerik as Secretary of Homeland Security ultimately lead to a five-year investigation, which ended with a felony conviction based on tax evasion and violating immigration law.

Since Kerik’s release in 2013, he has worked to create the American Coalition of Criminal Justice Reform.

Much of Kerik’s efforts work to better the professional development programs offered to inmates and focuses on the system’s failure to uphold the constitutional requirement for proportional punishment in relation to the crime.

“When I got to prison,” said Kerik, “I met young black men, 18, 19-years-old. Five grams of cocaine. See that pen on that table right there?

That’s about five grams. Ten and fifteen years in federal prison. Now, the penalty for possession of something like this in the federal system is not ten or fifteen years. But when you tack on a conspiracy, then it becomes ten or fifteen years.”

Kerik discussed the effects of plea bargaining on inmates, prison population and the corruption that attorneys and judges alike cause by “turning a blind eye.” “[Attorneys and judges] say, ‘You’re looking at 25 [years] to life, just take 10…

And you know what [the defendant] does? He gets up in front of the judge and swears on a Bible in front of the judge and says, ‘I intentionally possessed and attempted to possess and distribute 25 kilos of cocaine.’ You know what? That guy wouldn’t know 25 kilos of cocaine if it hit him in the face,” said Kerik, explaining plea bargaining.

Kerik went on to say that judges often don’t read indictments, which leads to more and more defendants being tried for a bigger crime than the one they actually committed.

Although the lawyers are aware of this, Kerik said, they choose to ignore it, which is how so many people originally convicted of a minor drug offense end up in minimum security camps.

Kerik also discussed the lack of professional development opportunities offered to prisoners. While there are federally mandated ACE classes that inmates take, the options are limited. Kerik listed classes such as chess, checkers, knitting and crocheting, among other non-professional options.

“I think the programs that are in prisons, whether it’s federal prisons or state prisons, have to be real life improvement programs,” Kerik said.

“They have to teach life improvement skills; they have to teach education. They [have to] give these guys some tools to work with. Most of the things that are in the federal system that I saw completely contradict the mission statement for what the department is supposed to be doing. And I think it has to be fixed.”

Until recent years, Kerik said, the criminal justice reform movement was largely underground with little of the discourse reaching the public.

The Summit worked to publicly identify and discuss today’s issues in order to begin the changing process.

According to Kerik, criminal justice reform must begin with raising awareness and educating the American people on how the system affects them.

From NYPD Police Commissioner to Interim Minister of Interior of Iraq to Secretary of Homeland Security to convicted felon, Bernie Kerik is quite familiar with the American criminal justice system.

“19-years-old looking at 10 to 15 years for a first-time, non-violent drug offense. It’s wrong. The Constitution says the punishment should fit the crime. I believe that,” said Kerik, former inmate at the Federal Correction Institution in Cumberland, MD, discussing former fellow inmates’ charges.

FLEX MEALS

continued from page 1

PSE brings community members to campus and encourages students to host these families with their unused dining center flex meals.

Last year, 49 students provided community members with 261 meals over a three-day period, according to Meghan Jansen, junior global marketing and business economics major and co-manager of the flex meals project.

Last year, participating families registered with the Northeast Iowa Food Bank.

This year, however, those serving on the PSE Flex Meal committee chose to reach out to community members primarily through local churches in both Cedar Falls and Waterloo.

“This year we decided to take a little bit of a different approach because we felt we could reach more people,” said Abigail Borchert, sophomore co-manager of the flex meals project.

PSE is currently working closely with seven churches in the Cedar Valley, such as the Saint Patrick Catholic Church of Cedar Falls and the First Baptist Church in Waterloo.

In order to help to reach their goal of 800 meals, PSE has extended the length of their project to five days,

Several UNI students have been the victims of a phone scam over the past month, according to Milissa Wright, associate director for UNI public safety.

The scam caller claims to be a member of the F.B.I. or IRS, and demands money owed for taxes on threat of arrest. The caller then demands that payment be wired directly to the individual.

while also offering an additional afternoon dining option to the community on Saturday, Nov. 14.

Evening meals will be offered to community members starting on Monday, Nov. 11-14, as well as the following Monday and Tuesday.

Approximately 85 students have signed up thus far to potentially give meals to 524 community members, reaching the halfway point of the 800 flex meal goal, said Borchert.

Borchert went on to say that the goal of 800 meals will serve as a buffer, as PSE members anticipate individual community members to participate more than once throughout the week, just as many had last year.

PSE encourages students to register online, through an electronic survey, to host a family in need. This survey, along with additional information about the project, can be found on the Flex Meal 2015 Facebook page. The Facebook group page is frequently updated with posts in regards to their goal numbers and currently has over 100 members.

“Something [like hunger] that’s happening in the community, we can solve that by a simple solution of using the flex meals that already exist,” said Jansen.

Student generosity stands out at tailgate This weekend, I went canning for Dance Marathon during the Homecoming tailgate. This is when a group of people go out to the tailgate with cans and collect money for a cause.

When I was canning, we went to all kinds of tailgates.

We went to the student tailgate, parent tailgate, scholarship tailgate and all over. I found that the students and recent graduates were by far more willing to donate whatever they had in their wallet more than the adults were. Every once in a while we would get a $5 or $10 bill from an adult, but almost every time we asked a student, they looked in their wallet/purse and pulled out whatever they had. Sometimes that was just a few quarters

and sometimes it was three or four dollars. I was surprised to find that when we all came together those who went to the student lot had much more in their cans than those who went to the adult lots.

College students sometimes get a bad rap, but this is usually because adults think back on their own experiences in college, and they rely on this to make judgments. They think nothing has changed when, in fact, college now is much different than what college looked like in the past.

First of all, we are competing with a lot more people so we have to work harder in college to ensure a job in the future. But at the same time we have become much more involved in giving back to our community, and I think this is the reason why we are a more generous community than our predecessors.

But maybe I’m being a little naïve; perhaps the generosity has something to do with the

students being a little drunker than the parents so they didn’t care as much. However, I’d like to think it’s because UNI has created this culture where it is common to help out an organizations that do so much good.

This culture of generosity and unselfishness is quite outstanding; and I don’t think that it is just UNI’s campus. I think that young people in general are more likely to help someone else out.

When we were canning, we would go up to groups of adults and they would often make eye contact with us before turning their bodies away in hopes that we would “take the hint” and skip their tailgate. This just made me all the more eager to go up to them and tell them about all the great things that Dance Marathon is doing and what they are missing out on.

I was speaking with a friend from work the other day and she told me a story about an experience she had while in

Time for America to un-stupid itself

There’s no excuse for Americans being this stupid. You’d think given the enormous amount of money we’re all racking up in student loans there would be something on the backside of that to promote a reasonably high level of intelligence.

And yet, every time I turn on my television, there’s a group of 15 (there might be 100 of them, I’ve lost track) morons running to be the GOP candidate for President of the United States, the most powerful position which currently exists in the world.

The two leading candidates, Ben Carson and Donald Trump, continue to spout idiocy at a frightening pace, something even more shocking when you consider one of them is an actual neurosurgeon, though it’s sometimes hard to tell which one. But no matter how many ignorant things they say, they aren’t the problem. We are. Every one of us has been in a room with family or friends and heard a loved one say something so incoherently ridiculous that we can’t believe we live on the same planet as these people. If we want to change the world for the better, and we should, we need to start speaking up. In that vein, let me offer some scenarios and how to deal with them:

1. Your racist grandmother says racist things at the Sunday dinner table and the rest of the family remains silent. “Grandma, it’s 2015, and not only are we no longer allowed to speak that way, nobody is less of a person just because of the color of their skin. Quite frankly, I’m a little disappointed in all of you for not speaking up as well. If you want to be proud of my education, you should consider learning some things as well. Also, can I borrow $20, I need to do laundry (this is obviously beer money, but this is a secret, okay)?”

2. Your Uncle Billy Bob claims statistics prove owning a gun greatly enhances your chances of surviving the shootout at the O.K. Corral. “Uncle Billy Bob, the Wild West is over, and I would like to be able to shop for groceries (again, this is obviously beer, but we won’t tell), without some lunatic with a superhero complex accidentally shooting me in the dairy aisle because he mistook me for an escaped convict from Oregon he saw on the news nine months ago.

Also, Billy Bob, according to the CDC, there were 11,208 gun-related homicides in 2013. So, basically everybody at UNI getting murdered in one shot. Is that really a world you want to live in?

Because if you do, we aren’t going to be around much longer.”

3. Your mom, who watches Fox “News” suggests Planned Parenthood should be closed

because they’re selling aborted babies to China. “Mom, Planned Parenthood exists in order to serve a community of women who otherwise could not get needed healthcare anywhere else. By closing them down because you think your Bible says orgasms are a sin, you are putting millions of women in a position of not having access to vital healthcare needs that everyone should have a right to, regardless of income. Also, can I borrow twenty dollars?”

4. Your dad who always watches Fox “News” suggests a wall with Mexico would be a great idea. “Dad, we literally just talked about racism with Grandma. This has to stop. None of us are ever going to become better people if we just keep moving our hate from one group to the next, instead of realizing that our useless politicians are lying to you about how they are the ones causing all the problems in the country.

Seriously, you guys all need to learn some new things about the world and stop being horrible people. Also, can I have $20 for beer? I don’t have the strength to lie anymore.”

So, this is the choice all of us have to make: use our education to make the world a better place, or keep letting the misinformed among us spout off the stupidity. It might be hard to talk to your family this way, but the sooner you do, the better we’ll all be. Also, can I borrow $20 from somebody?

a Walmart parking lot. She said an elderly lady had fallen and couldn’t get up. Instantly, my friend ran to the elderly women and made sure she was okay. As she was doing this, she saw many people just walking by and looking instead of offering a helping hand; most of these people were middle-aged adults.

I am not a middle-aged adult, so I don’t know exactly what their lives are like, but I can’t imagine it is so rigorous that they can’t help out others by giving their time or money

to a worthy cause. I realize they may have bills to pay and children to care for, but they did purchase their tailgating spot, along with all the beer and food they are drinking and eating, so the least they could do is spare $20 for an organization that helps those in need.

This is the generation that is, in many ways, dictating what our future will look like.

We as a generation need to step up and be an example.

The world needs young people like us; the world needs our generosity.

Letter to the editor

A note for the next time you use ‘f--’ Editor’s note: The Northern Iowan published a story in last Thursday’s edition about street preachers that visit UNI, specifically one preacher who goes by the name “Brother Jed.” Walking out of the Rod Library last week, a street preacher called me a faggot. I wish I could say this was just an isolated incident, but this is the third time I have been called a fag on UNI’s campus — this semester. I have lost count of the number of times it’s happened in my four years here at UNI, and that street preacher was the first non-student to do so.

So in the spirit of combatting ignorance, here’s a note, fellow UNI students, for the next time you call me a fag.

1. “I don’t think that word’s a big deal,” one might say.

Well, I’d ask that you look into the eyes of the thousands and thousands of LGBT* persons who survived a hate crime last year, and tell them it’s not a big deal.

2. “But, it’s my first amendment right!” It might be your right, but is it also your right to be a complete jerk?

3. “This is just political correctness gone amok!” I prefer to think of it as having empa-

thy for others.

I have heard the word “faggot” a lot in my life. Today, I am proud of my faggotry: I love things about me that are labeled as being faggy; whether it is my voice, my clothes, my sexuality or my passions. I refuse to let you use that word against me.

Not everyone is able to do this own the word like I have, and when you casually use “fag” you are committing assault to queer bodies on this campus. The LGBT* community here on campus has come a long way, but there are still numerous issues that have to be worked through (like gender inclusive housing). The last thing they need to worry about is hearing the term “fag”. This goes for all anti-LGBT* slurs being used on this campus… just don’t do it! This problem needs to be addressed, and it starts with you. Whether it is removing “fag”, or “that’s so gay” from your vocabulary, or educating others when they use these words, we all can do our part.

I can’t believe in 2015, I live in a world where this is still an issue on a college campus. Let’s starting acting like it is in fact 2015.

Songs from the Hot Sardines featured their New York Jazz influenced style, but had a wide range — with everything from upbeat dance numbers to ballads, and from the Charleston to the Jungle Book. The Hot Sardines’ performance featured some of the fastest fingers and feet from New York to New Orleans, and the voice of a front-woman from another era, as described by the program. Following the performance, a large crowd had gathered at the merchandise table to purchase CDs from the band.

The GBPAC is starting to feature more events before their shows — more events like the Gatsby party for The Hot Sardines — in order to immerse the audience in the experience, Carignan said.

Those walking alongside the float carried a wooden mustache to promote their UNI No Shave Campaign taking place next month. They are asking those who participate in “No-Shave November,” to consider donating to the American Cancer Society to raise awareness for men’s health.

At the Homecoming football game on Saturday evening, the first-place winner and the “Most Spirited” awards were announced. The UNI Health Center won first place for their homecoming float and the Panther Pep Crew won the award of “Most Spirited” for their display.

New meets the old through the UNI Traditions app KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

Students ran around campus Wednesday night in the name of tradition, as they embarked on the Amazing Race Traditions Challenge.

Teams of four were sent out to various locations on campus to take pictures and learn more about the traditions and UNI campus’s history.

Jenna Salzbrenner, senior history education major, talked about the importance of the challenge.

“The traditions challenge is our way [of] promoting UNI through a different perspective,” Salzbrenner said.

“Normally people look at the here and now, which is fine.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but UNI has a lot of history and our job is to make sure the current students know about that. There are a lot of lost traditions that nobody knows about and we have those all over the Alumni House [...] we try to bring back the really popular ones.”

This year, the traditions challenge was outfitted with an app created by Russell Karim, senior computer sciences major.

“I think with his creation of the app, colleges are now calling because they want it too,” said Connie Hansen, the advi-

sor for Connecting Alumni To Students (CATS). “We’re the first one to have as powerful a tool as we have. A couple other schools have apps, but nothing like ours.”

The app was released to the freshmen during orientation, followed by the general student body. Salzbrenner said it allows for the traditions challenge to be more mobile and more interactive.

“What’s cool about the app is we have push notifications,” said Salzbrenner, “so if we have a special event or there’s a basketball game or something that we want to highlight, [...] the app will remind you,” said Salzbrenner.

For many participants of the Amazing Race, the goal was to learn more about UNI’s campus.

“I got to know campus a lot better,” said Alicia Hornfeck, senior elementary education major. “I mean, I already knew it slightly well but it really made us think about where everything is, and we all had different experiences that let us know where different things were based off our majors and what we’ve done on campus.”

“I think it gives them a fun way to race across campus,” Hansen said. “I love the fact that they do traditions during homecoming because I think it brings us all together.”

The Panthers’ Katie Witt attempted the first shot of the match, but Sycamore goalkeeper Brittany San Roman made the save.

Panther goalkeeper Whitney Blunt continued her successful year with a save within the seventh minute mark. Blunt finished the match with four saves. UNI’s Sarah Brandt attempted two shots around the 10-minute mark, but neither shot was able to hit the net.

Neither team was able to find a shot on target until Indiana State’s Sydney Lovelace attempted a shot in the 20th minute, but Blunt was once again there to make the save.

The last three shots of the half were all off target for the Panthers. The first half ended with both teams scoreless.

The Panthers outshot the Sycamores, 9-3, in the first half.

UNI’s Amber Nieland attempted a shot just a minute after the second half began, but it was blocked by the Sycamore defense.

Blunt kept the Sycamores off

the board again with a couple saves in the 51st and 57thminute marks.

Annie Dale had a header attempt that was blocked by the Sycamore defense in the 63rd minute.

San Roman was also keeping the Panthers off the scoreboard with a few saves within the 70th and 73rd minute marks.

The next three Sycamore attempts failed off-target.

Neither team could find the net in the closing minutes of the second half, as it came to an end, 0-0.

The first period of overtime began with each team’s shot attempts blocked. The next two attempts by Indiana State both failed to find the net.

Annie Dale had a chance in the 98th minute but was saved by San Roman.

The Panthers defense held strong in the second overtime period as they kept Indiana State to only one off target shot attempt.

Annie Dale had the last three chances to put the match away but was unable to find the net. The match ended, 0-0.

The Panthers outshot the Sycamores, 28-15, with nine on target. Both goalkeepers came up big for each team with 13 total saves.

The Panthers will travel instate to Des Moines to play the Drake Bulldogs on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

On Saturday, Oct. 17, UNI was set on overpowering Western Illinois on homecoming night for the Panthers.

With the final score, 24-19, the Panthers now face a 2-4 record and their third consecutive loss in three weeks.

Head coach, Mark Farley, stressed very heavily that excuses were no longer an option.

“I could think of a thousand things to answer that question but instead of having a reason,” said Farley of what went wrong Saturday, “we have to find answers.”

UNI’s offense was felt very uneven once again, putting 260 total offensive yards with just 68 plays. 91 of these came from the ground with 32 attempts.

Discouraged with the numbers he saw, Farley said he wants the Panther offense firing on all cylinders every time they step on the field.

“I thought we’d throw the ball a little better than we did,” Farley said.

On the defensive side of things, defensive back Deiondre Hall was just as upset, seeing problems on both sides of the ball.

“We just came out flat and slow,” Hall said. “We came back fighting in the second half. We just didn’t make enough plays in the end.”

Western Illinois led 14-0 by halftime. After the break, Michael Schmadeke hit two field goals for six points. Hall then recorded his fourth career pick-six, closing the gap to 21-13.

Tim Kilfoy (24) wraps up a Western Illinois ballcarrier during the Homecoming game this past weekend.

Not long after, Aaron Bailey had an impressive drive, topped off by his 5-yard carry for a touchdown.

Wide receiver Darius Fountain received a bullet of a pass as he could not hold onto it for the two -point conversion.

David Griffith of Western Illinois picked off Bailey as one of his last passes of the game sailed a little high. After running out the clock, they came out on top, beating the Panthers, 24-19.

“When we got down, 14-0, we couldn’t come back quickly,” Farley Said. “We gave them only three points in the second half and the offense worked their way back into it, but it took them the whole half to do so and in this day and age, you should pull some stuff off quicker than that.”

Next Saturday, the Panthers will hit the road as they face South Dakota State in Brookings, hoping to end this negative streak.
