Students swarming around a tiny table outside of Mauker Union were greeted by a group of beaniewearing, Love Your Melon members on Thursday. In celebration of Love Your Melon Day, the UNI Campus Crew livened up the Mauker Union Courtyard with music during their sales event. Last Thursday marked the third anniversary of the creation of Love Your Melon. Each purchase of LYM merchandise provides a hat to children battling cancer, while also helping to fund cancer research and cover the costs of cancer patients. “It’s just more about helping out the kids and trying to make sure the whole college is aware of everything going on,” said, Madi Bellile, junior

leisure, youth and human services major and Love Your Melon crew member on what LYM Day means to her. Along with the sales event on Thursday, five additional members of the UNI campus crew visited Blank Children’s Hospital for their Superhero Donation Event, where 50 hats were given to children with lifelong illnesses, according

to Melissa Miller, senior marketing major and president of the Love Your Melon UNI Campus Crew. The five campus crew executives who visited Blank dressed up as superheroes and gave out white capes for children to decorate. See LYM, page 5

Panthers’ “Tremendous win” DYLAN PADY

Sports Writer

For the UNI Panthers, the entire game against South Dakota State University on Saturday hinged on the outcome of a single play; the defense rose to the occasion and took home the win. It was fourth and one with only a minute and a half left; when a defensive stop by the

Panthers ensured them the 10-7 win over South Dakota State. “Tremendous win,” said head coach Mark Farley. “I’m very pleased with the type of win it was. It was a hardfought, grind-it-out game against a very good football team.” In the second quarter the Panther’s field goal unit came out and put the first points on the board with a 24-yard field

goal to start the game, 3-0. Following in the third, Aaron Bailey, quarterback and junior communications major, executed a 35-yard touchdown carry for what would be the final score, 10-7. “We wanted to score a touchdown, take the momentum out of their hands and put it back in our hands,” Bailey said.

Alumni rethinks cancer treatment 1991 UNI alumni, Kimryn Rathmell. Rathmell was recently named as the Cornelius Abernathy Craig Professor of Medicine and Director of the Division of Hematology and Oncology at Vanderbilt University. Her presentation was about new ways to treat cancer titled, “The Exciting State of Affairs for Drug Development in Cancer: 2015.” Among the strategies discussed were the use of small molecules to block “previously undruggable” targets and to rely on the immune system to destroy cancer cells. “I’m very interested in the topic that Dr. Rathmell is going to be speaking about tonight,” said Theresa Spradling, a UNI professor of biology who was in the audience. “I’ve looked at some of her work since I found out she was coming to UNI, but I didn’t necessarily know a lot about her before. With some research, I discovered that she has been extremely involved and has a really impressive record.” Rathmell discussed numerous topics dealing with cancer, such as how cancer works, exciting new findings and why

On Saturday, Nov. 7, UNI Students for Bernie Sanders 2016 will be hosting an event that combines political campaigning with local, live music. The event, dubbed Shred for Bernie, will be held at Octopus College Hill and will start at 5:00 p.m. It will be open to anyone who is nineteen years of age or older. Oliver Weilein, Cedar Falls native and committee leader for UNI Students for Bernie Sanders 2016, is spearheading the Shred for Bernie event. Weilein is also involved with a local music collective called Cedar Valley DIY (CVDIY) that primarily hosts punk

shows. “I felt that I could help out with the Bernie campaign by combining volunteer efforts with the CVDIY and just have a show,” Weilein said. “And so far, it’s gotten a really good response.” The response has been so positive that Weilein and the other organizers were forced to change the initial start time from 7:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in an effort to spread out the attendance. One such attendant will be sophomore political communication major, Sydney Hauer. “I think that it’s a great idea to combine a political event with live music,” said Hauer, “because it’s the kind of event that will draw the type of crowd that generally

supports Bernie. It gives them the opportunity to talk with other supporters and learn about how to get involved in the campaign while enjoying live music.”

Sophomore Jamie Crispin is also planning on attending the event “With the Shred for Bernie event,” said Crispin, “I think it’s a unique way for politics to

reach out to some of the subcultures that we have in the United States… Not everyone wants to go to a political speech or rally. Whereas, if you have a concert and between performances you’re going to talk about the campaign and what [Sanders’] different plans are, it’s a different way to get people the information they need to be aware enough to vote.” According to the official Shred for Bernie Facebook event page, the live music will consist of five bands: Sounds Del Mar, a party rock band all the way from Austin, TX; Joe Meteorite and the Space Peanuts, a local skate punk band; Cedar Falls based indie rock band Kitsch; Pelvis, an Ames based punk band and

Exceptionalism over acceptance OCTOBER 26, 2015

Who today is not familiar with the old joke that people tell about middle school? You surely have heard the complaint about the reward systems employed by middle schools - the students line up and, despite ability or accomplishment, are given awards for participation. I don’t know anything about pedagogy, so I won’t advertise my opinion on this specific practice. But I think that the sentiment that people feel about these practices is clear: why should anyone be rewarded for being average? What is the use in promoting mediocrity? The answer that humanist culture provides for this question tends to be that “all people are created equal.” However, the praise of the adequate and glorification of the banal does not end in middle school. Even here, in the allegedly critical academia, enthusiastic support for the subpar continues. It is difficult to attend three or more performances on campus during the semester without witnessing the sociological peculiarity that is the standing ovation. The experience for me often goes like this: At the end of the performance the artists bow and the applause begins. One, two or three members of the audience stand up and express their overwhelming

satisfaction. And then, like ripples in a pond emanating from a disturbance, the audience stands in waves reaching backwards to the doors of the venue. When the wave reaches me I cannot help but feel an enormous pressure to follow suit and stand up. I concede that even sometimes I give in to this pressure. In such cases, when I do stand, I feel dishonest. I feel dishonest, because my reaction is not for the benefit of the artist, but rather my offering to appease the beast of acceptance. I don’t want to catch myself doing this anymore, and I would urge my fellow student body to also abstain. Now, I do not mean that it is never okay stand and give praise. I mean to argue that it should only be acceptable to stand and praise when you honestly believe that the work was worthy. I rightfully argue that it is often not the case; why else would people stand in waves? If a performance was truly worthy of a standing ovation, then the standing would be less wave-like and more rain-like; instead of people standing when others do, they would stand independently of each other as each individual becomes overwhelmed with the need to express their praise. The student body is not the only group to blame for this behavior of praise, the faculty have also committed their fair share of acceptance-related crimes. Grade inflation in the

NORTHERNIOWAN.COM

United States has been occurring since the 1980’s. The trend at UNI is an instance of this trend. From 1969 to 1986 the average GPA has remained between 2.72 and 2.69, respectively. From 1986 to the present, the average GPA has risen from 2.72 to 2.96. Grade inflation is a problem for a number of reasons. First, grade inflation can give the wrong impression of one’s abilities. If a student obtains an B- in Humanities, despite deserving a C or D, then that student may continue doing this same amount of work as it is enough to get by. Secondly, if an A is easy to obtain, those who are motivated by maintaining a high GPA have little reason to perform above that mark. In this case the full potential of the student is not tried and reached. In total, there is a devaluation of education. If institutions are reinforcing mediocrity, then what does it mean to have a degree? Why waste your time earning a certificate that is becoming easier and easier to achieve? While it may be nice to repeat to ourselves “all people are created equal,” we admit that such platitudes are false when we engage in any form of contest. We understand that in the event of competition and struggle a victor will emerge, and we concede that it is likely that the victor will have traits which are superior to his or her competitors.

The flawed ‘I’m fine’ system: be truthful with yourself I have recently been informed that I am a liar. According to this trusted, but anonymous source, I tell the exact same type of lie all the time. In fact, it has gotten so severe that many of the small interactions in my life are structured around this small, yet ubiquitous fib. What is this deadly untruth? It’s simple (like all good falsehoods): I’m fine. I initially developed the “I’m fine” system to make my life and the lives of those around me simpler. The triedbut-true interaction goes like this: “Hey Hannah, how are you?” “Oh, I’m fine.” As a person with a lot of drastic ups and downs throughout my college career, it was easier for me to prepackage a response to the question

of how I was doing. I thought I was making things better for everyone around me, as well. I thought, ‘people don’t want to deal with what’s bothering me.’ What I never realized until recently is how many people aren’t asking how I am out of a sense of obligation or social nicety. They are asking because they want to know how I am doing! I have brushed off a lot of genuine people with my stock answer over the years, and I regret it. Issues of mental health have been weighing heavily on the hearts and minds of UNI students, staff and faculty lately, and for good reason. While I try to shy away from the alarmist view many subscribe to regarding the direction of our generation and the world, I must admit I see a lot of people hurting around me as I go about my daily life. I propose a two-step program to be implemented immediately in order to make our corner of the world a

little bit better for everyone here: Step one: genuinely ask others how they are doing and be ready to receive a genuine answer. This is an integral step towards making a community out of a disconnected group of people. If you notice someone is fading out of class by not participating or not attending, you have the power and ability to reach out to them. Don’t be afraid to ask someone how they are doing. If someone wasn’t in class, and you see them in the Union, exercise your courage muscle and say ‘hi.’ Even if you are worried you might come off as strange or overly-friendly, it might help that person to have someone acknowledge their presence. Ask people if they had a good weekend. Ask people how their classes are going. But only ask if you’re ready to be genuine and listen to the answer. Step two: tell the truth to people who are genuinely asking how you are doing. This

step is deceptively difficult, especially when you’ve gotten into the habit of using the “I’m fine” system. At first, it might seem impossible to admit that you are struggling with classes or other life commitments, but the quickest way to get back on track is to be honest

with yourself and others. One thing I have found here at UNI is there are a shocking amount of people willing to make themselves available to help. Don’t brush off their inquiries just because it seems simpler or safer to say you’re fine.

FILM REVIEW: DOUBLE FEATURE

Ridley film is out of this world Gothic genre revival JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic

Based on the 2011 novel of the same name by Andy Weir, “The Martian” is about a Mars mission gone wrong, with Mark Watney (Matt Damon) mistakenly left for dead on Mars by his crewmates. Using his botanist skills and scientific knowledge, he must survive the harsh conditions until NASA works out a way to save him. Despite the dramatic plot set up, “The Martian” is surprisingly funny. It’s not too serious, but it’s also not a complete comedy film. The humor and human emotions are sprinkled throughout evenly, making for an easy-to-digest experience. Even the heady science explanations are logical and smart, especially with Mark’s video logs. He explains the process he goes through to create a life support system and how he is working on communicating with NASA. These parts of the movie come off as a documentary of sorts, and it makes for a varied experience.

The naturally red rocks and sandy hills are very convincing as the surface of Mars.

JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic

Inspired by classical gothic horror, director Guillermo Del Toro set out to tell a ghost story that would be different from the found footage and B-movie budget horror movies that are churned out by the dozen. “Crimson Peak” sets out in doing just that. After the death of her mother, young Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) receives a warning from the ghost of her mother, ‘Beware Crimson Peak.’ Years later, she meets and falls in love with Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) who whisks her away to his home. Sharpe lives in Allerdale Hall with his sister. Soon Edith is pulled into the mystery of the Sharpes and comes to understand the meaning of her mother’s warning. “Crimson Peak” is a lot of fun. Despite its surprisingly violent moments and jump scares, the predictability of the plot and beautiful imagery are what make this such an entertaining film. This predictability aspect came out in the major aspects of the film, but not in he minor details. It plays out in the way a gothic romance horror story

should; it’s because these tropes are pulled off so well and with such visual creativity and relish that it makes “Crimson Peak” a fun, spooky, haunted house ride at a theme park. But just as the rides have their bumps and rough spots, so does this film. The acting and script can be cheesy and thin at some points. Most of the scary scenes consist of jump scares, creepy figures and spooky images. But when they do happen, they are effective. The strongest point of “Crimson Peak” is its visual direction. The opening shot after the prologue looks like a moving old photograph, including browns and faded whites. Allerdale Hall is a particularly marvelous set piece to look at, looking like a gothic beauty on the inside and out. As expected from Del Toro, “Crimson Peak” is another film from him that allows him to play with his creative strengths. The Gothic romance horror feeling is captured magnificently. If only the script and acting were a bit tighter, this would be a tale I would visit again and again. But for what it’s worth, “Crimson Peak” is good for a watch or two.

Looking for a Halloween costume that will really “wow” your friends, but you’re a college student with a college student budget? Have no fear, here are a few cheap, easy costume ideas for All Hallow’s Eve this year. If you are a television junkie, there are a lot of iconic characters you can recreate this Halloween. (It’s) John Cena, WWE wrestler, consists of a brightly-colored jersey with a matching hat, dark cargo shorts and a WWE U.S. title belt (made with a normal belt and print out plate). For extra fun, go around shouting, “It’s John Cena!” — echoing the popular meme circulating the internet. If you want to dress in just whitey-tighties, a white button-down shirt and large glasses, your friends may think you engage in questionable activities, or they may see you as Walter White, the friendly chemistry teacher from the television series, “Breaking Bad.” Not only can you dress as your favorite character on television, but there are a lot of

pun-filled, creative costumes out there as well. You can start with making everyone around you feel uncomfortable by wearing a black t-shirt with the Netflix logo plastered on the front coupled, with paper “ice cubes” taped around you. What are you? “Netflix and Chill.” This can also be quite the icebreaker. Do you wish you had a more fit physique? Strapping six empty cans of your choice beverage around your torso will give you that “six-pack abs” look you’ve always dreamed of. If you have a group of four or more friends you can pull together for Halloween this year, “Cards Against Humanity” is calling your name. Nominate one person to wear a white t-shirt with a situation written on it (you can also print it on a piece of paper and tape it to yourself). The rest of your group should wear black shirts with funny or radical answers. While out and about, ask passersby which answer best fits the situation, in their opinion. Whether you choose to gather your friends or decide to ride it solo this holiday, hopefully these ideas will give you inspiration to dress to impress (even on a college student budget).

UNI soars over Evansville, falls to SIU over weekend ZACH HUNTLEY Sports Writer

The UNI women’s volleyball team dominated Evansville this weekend and fell to Southern Illinois after a tightly knit four-set match. The Panthers defeated the Evansville Purple Aces Friday, Oct. 23 in three sets, marking their fourth shutout of the season. UNI kept things close with the Southern Illinois Salukis but lost their grip falling 1-3 to their opponent on Saturday, Oct. 24. Starting back in their first set of the weekend, it didn’t take long for the Panthers to turn the tides against Evansville. From 6-8, UNI shifted their momentum and moved to 17-8 ,due to major kills from Amie Held and Piper Thomas. Finishing 25-13 in the first set, the Panthers went on to take the second set by 25-13 and the third by set score, 2512. Amie Held led the team against the Purple Aces with 11 kills, 11 digs, four kills and two aces. In addition, Piper Thomas stepped up with eight kills and six blocks, while Heather Hook led the team with 33 assists. Coming out of the night

with a .337 hitting percentage, UNI blew Evansville’s .010 percentage out of the water. Heading to Southern Illinois to take on the Salukis the next night, the Panthers put up a fight against them but fell, 1-3, in their second match of the weekend. Falling in the first set by 16-25, UNI rallied to take the second set, 25-23, after a hardearned bout. Throughout the set, back-to-back service aces by Held and multiple kills by Kayla Haneline kept the team afloat. Keeping the scores close, the Panthers fell to the Salukis, 2523, in the third set. After clenching a four-point lead against Southern Illinois, UNI lost their grip and fell to their opponent in their fourth and final set by set score, 17-25. Although they lost the match, Held marked her seventh career double-double by recording 14 kills and 13 digs against Southern Illinois. In addition, Heather Hook notched a career-high 48 assists. Returning home this Halloween weekend, the Panthers will face both Illinois and Indiana State in the McLeod Center Oct. 30 and 31 at 7 p.m.

Aaron Bailey (15) had an exceptional game in Brookings, throwing for 113 yards and rushing for 169 yards with a touchdown. Bailey is the first Panther to throw and rush for 100+ yards each in a game since former quarterback, Tirrell Rennie, achieved the feat in 2011.

FOOTBALL

continued from page 1

It was a much needed win for the Panthers, who now ended their three game losing streak following Saturdays game. Had

they lost this game, any postseason possibilities would have been diminished. “I think they were a No. 5, No. 6 football team at their home and on homecoming,” Farley said. “A huge statement about the mindset that our

players came into this game with.” Neither team had much going for them offensively in the beginning of the game until UNI stepped it up with their 92-yard drive for Michael Schmadeke’s field goal.

UNI’s defense came out with a total of 12 tackles for a loss, five of which the quarterback was sacked. The 12 tackles are good for third most all-time by the Panther defense while in addition only allowing 95 yards on 37 rushing attempts.

Next Saturday, the Panthers will defend their home turf against South Dakota with kickoff set for 1 p.m. South Dakota is currently 4-3 (2-2 in the conference) and coming off a decisive win against Missourri State, 40-10.
