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.
