Amidst small explosions of gases and flames, the excited screams of children filled the second floor of McCollum Science Hall, thanks to the University of Northern Iowa’s American Chemical Society’s annual Halloween House science show Friday. Between the Devil’s Den, Frankenstein’s Lab, the Witch’s Lair and Pirate’s Cove, the kids learned about the wonders of science. “Some college students come by, but it’s geared as a community outreach program,” said Laura Castro, president of Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society. In Pirate’s Cove, pirate captain Sarah Eikenberry put her crew through a series of tests to prove their worth. From creating mermaid tears and sea foam to turning silver into gold, the crew was successful in all their endeavors.
Under a full moon in the Waterloo Memorial Park Cemetery Oct. 19, the Cedar Valley Ghost Hunters set up their digital thermometers, laser grids, and electromagnetic field detectors while putting five onlookers through their first paranormal investigation. “They’re not real familiar with it, so we’re going to teach them the ropes,” said Michelle Merry, co-founder and lead investigator of the Cedar Valley Ghost Hunters. “They are all interested in the same thing we are, but they don’t get the option, like we do, all the time to go out and do it.” The ghost hunters split up into groups, using walkie-talkies to communicate. A monitor was on display for people to watch the 10 video cameras set up around the cemetery. Saturday’s investigation was a “tag-a-long,” which Merry said is like a “Ghost 101” where people are allowed to join the investigation. The group searched for signs of move-
ment while attempting to ask the possible ghosts questions. “Why are you here?” asked Robin Johnston when a fax machine and radio turned on without anyone in the room. Cemetery employees contacted the investigators after several appliances were turning on and off. “It’s so important to help people and to make sure people out there don’t think they’re crazy. They have somewhere they can turn to, they have someone they can call,” Merry said. Merry and Johnston formed Cedar Valley Ghost Hunters, a paranormal investigative group, in November 2010 after both became interested in ghosts at a young age. Jerry McElrath, owner of Iowa Spirit Investigative Services, said there are many spirit and ghost organizations in Iowa. See GHOSTS, page 4

The Iowa Board of Regents approved plans to open a new education center, “The Center for Educational Transformation” at the University of Northern Iowa during their meeting Oct. 24. The center will replace Malcolm Price Laboratory and fulfill a mandate by legislators requiring UNI to engage in research, development and dissemination of top teaching practices, which Price Lab previously fulfilled. However, Provost and Vice President Gloria Gibson said there are clear differences between the former school and the upcoming center. “They’re both very different even though there was research that went on at the lab school, but the center’s focus will be making an educational impact throughout the state,” Gibson said. The center is set to open early 2014 in the Schindler Education Center, and the research conducted will have an statewide impact, according to Gibson. “We’re interested in how we can impact the school districts, be they rural school districts, the “Urban Eight,” the Cedar Valley,” Gibson said. “What are their challenges and how can we as a center that’s a part of the university help them make decisions for the future?”

NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2013
About 250 students and faculty learned more about Japanese culture and religion on Oct. 23 in Sabin Hall. The lecture, titled “Japanese Religion: A View from the Streets of Tokyo,”, was presented by Steven Heine, director of Asian studies and religions and history professor at Florida International University, and Martha Reineke, philosophy and religions professor at the University of Northern Iowa. Both speakers provided detailed information about Japan’s culture and the nation’s beliefs. Reineke and Heine explained religion in Japan is woven into the culture like fabric, making it hard to look at only one

Researchers from Iowa State University and the University of Iowa will participate in the educational research, along with UNI students, administrators and teachers from Iowa, according to Gibson. The center will also utilize
religion without observing cultural aspects. Festivals, rituals and ceremonies are a part of life in the nation. Even going to temples or shrines to pay respects is intermixed with daily customs. The two presenters also spoke about the Inari, also known as the fox or kitsune, which is the role of an ancestor. “Foxes are complicated symbols,” said Heine. Heine said they were tricksters and had mischievous natures, which is portrayed in Japanese anime and movies. The Inari were considered messengers between the ancestors and the living world as well, which gave them positive symbolic roles in culture. While talking about the ancestors of Japanese culture, partnerships across the state and will participate in the Teacher Quality Partnership grant, which partners with nine high-need rural school districts in Iowa. As the center progresses, Gibson believes it will increase its number of partnerships. The next step, however, is hiring a director for the center, Gibson said. Director

Reineke said the living and their ancestors “are connected in relationship of mutual care for one another, and if one side gets neglected, there will be negative consequences in either direction.” “I learned more about the other religions and their different gods,” said Ashley Garretson, freshman religion and actuarial science double major. “The information taught me to have a better understanding of others — to be open minded.” duties include creating the research agenda and the evaluation plan. Currently, there are three candidates for the position and open forum dates for the candidates are pending. “We’re very excited about the center,” Gibson said. “The name is intentional: center for educational transformation, so we really are trying to make an impact across the state.”

Mental health education is a must LAURA HEBBELN hebbelnl @uni.edu
On Oct. 22, a thirteenyear-old boy with a semiautomatic handgun opened fire on a middle-school campus in Sparks, Nevada. He wounded two students and killed one teacher, a former Marine. The boy then shot and killed himself. The Reno Gazette-Journal reported updates as the situation progressed. This was their report at 8:28 p.m. Monday evening: “More than two dozen school counselors and psychologists are working with state and federal personnel to coordinate counseling services for students, staff members and families from Sparks Middle School, the Washoe County school district reported.” It is a shame that the dozens of counselors and psychologists came too late. The individual that needed the help more than anybody, the thirteen-year-old gunman, is now dead.
We are not told how to cope. We are simply told to ask for help.
Whenever an event like this occurs, the supporters of stricter gun laws and better mental health care engage in heated debates. Although the mental state of the thirteen-year-old boy has not been released yet, it will not be surprising when his story is investigated and dozens of red flags from his life are uncovered. There is no doubt there were signs his mental health was suffering. Somebody who is thinking clearly, no matter how angry, does not bring a gun to school, wound two students and kill a teacher. This is an abnormal occurrence that is the result of an abnormal psychology. In school, we are taught how to use our minds through our classwork. We learn how to take care of our bodies through physical education classes and health classes. But we are not taught how
to deal with our emotions. Instead, videos about bullying are shown to students. They tell us bullying is bad, and that if we witness it, we should report it. We are taught that we should respect each other, but we are not told what to do if we are the one being bullied. We are not told how to cope. We are simply told to ask for help. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for most of my life. Although I cannot understand the extreme feelings that would lead to bringing a gun to school and wounding and killing others, I do understand not wanting to seek help for mental problems. There is a social stigma associated with people who regularly see therapists and take prescription medicine for their mental health. For the longest time, I avoided talking to somebody about my feelings because I wanted to avoid stigmatization. Also, it is just awkward to talk about emotions. We live in a society where openly and honestly sharing our deepest feelings is not normal. So imagine a thirteen-

year-old boy struggling with his mental health. Is he going to have the rationale to go to the school counselor? Absolutely not. He is going to suffer in silence until he simply cannot take the pressure anymore. We need to re-evaluate the approach we are taking in regards to dealing with mental health. There should be classes in public schools devoted specifically to emotional well-being. Like taking physicals at the beginning
of the school year, students should be required to take yearly mental health examinations. Teachers and parents need to be educated to look for red flags in their students’ and children’s behavior, and then, more importantly, to take proper action. We need to start working on helping people who are struggling with their mental health. We need to start preventing these tragic events instead of picking up the pieces afterward.
Go ahead and disregard your elders, Millennials CHRISTOPHER DANIEL daniecab @uni.edu
You, the Millennial generation, are going to have to work harder and longer and for smaller returns than any other generation in the 20th century. Some of you, especially those approaching graduation, may feel apprehensive about entering a world of seemingly diminished opportunity. I suspect many of you also find your concerns falling on deaf ears, or worse, those who hear but don’t listen and take the opportunity to scold you. One would expect it of the Baby Boomer generation, but now Generation X wants to get in on the game of telling the kids to quit crying and to get off their damn lawn. Specifically, a lecture in the Sept. 15 “Wait But Why?,” Huffington Post blog accuses Millenial’s of feeling special and entitled, that this is the root of your concerns about
your future. The article fails to address that your generation understands that success and prosperity are not immediate, but the result of patience and work does not always reap benefits. Millenials know this. You also know this ethic is based on an outdated model of the path to success that died with the Baby Boomer generation. Unlike them, you have an incredibly atrophied job market in which you will find that you are expected to always to be working on your career, whether it’s through the ongoing process of keeping up with technology or the constant monitoring of your LinkedIn profile. There is no job security anymore, and you will likely hold two jobs while doing freelance work on the side just to make ends meet. Additionally, you do this with the greatest student loan debt of any other generation. Buying a house,
starting a family and starting a business is a riskier prospect for you than for the last three generations. The Boomers have largely still not retired from their positions and Generation X waits in the wings to take their place. The road to your advancement disappears into the vanishing point of your future. Here’s the disconnect: Generation X should not dog pile you. As one who bears the mark of X, I assure you Generation X is still stupid and contagious. We have large student debt and we lost homes in the 2008 financial
crisis. We’re still waiting for the Boomers to leave their positions to make room for our advancement. And we still blame the Boomers for leaving us an economic, political and environmental disaster. I’ll share a secret: in the 1990s, Generation X made the same you THINKSTOCK complaints make now. And our parents told us the same thing my generation is telling you. We were to quit crying and grow up. Now that we begin to fill the Boomers’ role in society, we find we are still struggling. The positions atop the business ladder, instead of being filled by us, are disappearing as companies become leaner. We struggle with student debt, housing debt, credit card debt, diminishing wages, a shortage in housing. We have no business telling you to stop crying. We think you have nothing to be angry about because alien-
ation and calling out the older generations for the present given us is our thing. This angst belongs to us, you can’t have it. No better reason than that. Perhaps it’s fear. There’s something eschatonic about the name “Millennial,” as if you are some final generation that will either end us, or transform into some posthuman cybernetic being that will surpass us. However, we are in the same situation as you. We’ve inherited a social system that runs on the fantasy of eternal economic growth, which depletes its energy sources, ruins its environment and dispossesses 99 percent of its citizenry. We ought to join with you in looking for a new way of thinking, but most of us are still scrambling to get rich and are sulking over our Nirvana CD’s. So, if we won’t join you, but rather condemn you, then forget about us. Aside from building the current iteration of the Internet that is your playground, Generation X never did anything for you. You don’t need us. But you just might save us.

First formal military Date auction held to support locals affected by breast cancer ball to be held at UNI IRIS FRASHER
Staff Writer
Ten students stepped up to volunteer for Saturday’s Date Auction to support breast cancer awareness. All proceeds went to Splash of Color, a prog ram that is a part of the Beyond Pink TEAM, which focuses on assisting people of color with breast cancer in Black Hawk County. The Black Student Union hosted the third annual Date Auction as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is October. “I am really glad I decided to do it, said Claudia Gonzalez, senior communications and theater education double major who volunteered to auction herself. “One of my friends who organized this asked me to be a part of this, and I was a little scared at first, but I realized it was for a g reat cause.” Cathy Ketton is one of the founders of Splash of Color. Her two daughters were diagnosed with breast cancer at ages 21 and 25, and her mother

“You wouldn’t be able to name them all if we had all night,” he said. McElrath and Christina Curry, co-founder of ISIS, formed the group about three years ago to help people. “We set up cameras, we take recorders, go around and try to capture spirit voices, take pictures of them, and try to get people answers. That’s kind of what we started the whole thing for, people who were afraid to be in their own house,” McElrath said.

also suffered from the disease. Participants bid for each student being auctioned off and the highest bidder won a date with the person they bid on. The date consisted of socializing in another room following the date auction. The Date Auction is one of the main sources of donations for Splash of Color. This year, the auction raised $420. Last year the proceeds amounted to $1,005, and the first year they raised $620. Gonzalez is not personally affected by breast cancer, but she said, “You never know who will be affected by it. Maybe somebody in my family will be in the future, so it’s nice to do something good like this.” According to the American Cancer Society, about 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women this year, and an estimated 39,620 women will die from it. It is the second most common type of cancer among women and the most common among African American women. McElrath said he became interested in the paranormal in his early teens, and turned to it as a hobby. Curry said she believes in angels and is interested in investigating souls. The group has purchased $6,000 worth of equipment, including spirit boxes and a bionic ear. Both groups use fundraisers for purchases and offer services free of charge. “Don’t be afraid of things that go bump in the night because there’s not much out there that’s going to hurt you ... be respectful.

The University of Northern Iowa Veterans Association is kicking off a week of events with their first formal military ball Nov. 11, which is Veterans Day. “We are trying to find ways to show students military culture,” said Molly Skovronski, secretary and treasurer of the UNIVA. The Veterans Day Ball is free and open to to the public. Guests are encouraged to wear suits and dresses. Active duty, Reserve, guard service and veterans are encouraged to wear their dress uniforms, but UNIVA will also provide pins for veterans to wear. Community members will be able to interact with veterans and current military members at the ball and at the American Veterans Post
49 in Cedar Falls after the event, which ends at 8 p.m. “Some people can be intimidated, but we’re people just like you,” said Skovronski about talking to veterans. UNIVA is expecting to see 100 students and faculty members at the event, and they have recruited President William Ruud, an army veteran, as the key note speaker. Those interested in attending should register online under the military section of UNI’s homepage by Nov. 1. There will be a dinner at the ball and registration is encouraged to ensure the UNIVA plans for enough food and seating. However, UNIVA said guests can still attend the formal ball without registration. The doors of the University Commons Ballroom will open at 5:30 p.m. for the event

Panthers move into 1st place with weekend sweep BEN LLOYD
Sports Writer
ERIN KEISER/Northern Iowan
Shelby Kintzel (15) and Eryca Hingtgen (14) combined for 17 kills in UNI’s win over Wichita State. The Panthers are now in first place in the MVC.
For the first time this season, the University of Northern Iowa volleyball team is in first place in the Missouri Valley Conference. Two late-season wins over the weekend against Missouri State University and Wichita State University helped the Panthers gain momentum with just seven matches left in the regular season this year. On Friday, UNI defeated the Bears in four sets. It was a big match for senior Macy Ubben,
as she started the weekend with 18 kills. The road trip to Springfield, Mo., also saw 47 assists from Kinsey Caldwell. With the in-conference victory, the Panther volleyball team has clinched a winning record for their 35th consecutive season. The memorable win was shortly celebrated as the Panthers returned to action Saturday with another innerconference match against WSU. The Panthers made quick work of the Shockers, sweeping WSU in three sets. Ubben continued to dominate, adding 12 kills to her season total.
UNI also saw offense from Shelby Kintzel, who tallied nine kills, and Eryca Hingtgen, who added eight kills in the victory. Caldwell added 32 assists for the Panthers, who avenged their September home loss to the Shockers. UNI narrowly won each of the three sets by margins of two, four and two points. The win marked the Panther’s third-straight victory. UNI has some time off following the busy weekend. Their next scheduled match is Nov. 2 against Drake University.

UNI stunned in South Dakota RILEY UBBEN
Sports Writer
The University of Northern Iowa could not get the ball into the end zone over the span of two overtime periods as they lost for the second straight week in double overtime. The 37-34 loss to South Dakota State University is the fourth straight defeat for UNI (4-4, 0-4 Missouri Valley Football Conference). With the score tied at 28, UNI defensive back Tim Mitchell picked off a pass from SDSU quarterback Austin Sumner at the Jackrabbit 28-yard line with 3 minutes, 22 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Sawyer Kollmorgen rushed for a first down on 4th and 1 from the SDSU 17-yard line that allowed the Panthers to run the rest of the clock out to avoid giving the ball back to the Jackrabbits. Kollmorgen completed 30 of 40 passes with 306 yards while adding three touchdowns. UNI ran the ball to keep the clock moving, which gave place-

kicker Tyler Sievertsen a shot at winning the game. Sievertsen’s 30-yard field goal with :02 left was wide right, causing the Panthers to try to win the game in overtime for the third straight week. The miss marked Sievertsen’s first field goal miss outdoors during
his career as a Panther. SDSU was held to a field goal during their first possession of the first overtime. The Panthers came up with a big play to start their overtime possession as Kollmorgen connected with Kevin Vereen for a 15-yard pass. But UNI could
not find the end zone despite being set up with a 1st and goal from the 10-yard line. Sievertsen knocked in a 23-yard field goal to send the game into a second overtime period. The first play of the second overtime for the Panthers
was almost a mirror image of the first overtime play, as Kollmorgen connected once again with Vereen. This time it was a 19-yard completion that set UNI up with 1st and goal from the 6-yard line. Vereen had five catches for 80 yards and a touchdown on the afternoon. Once again, the Panthers could not get the ball across the goal line as Kollmorgen threw incompletes on the 2nd and 3rd down. UNI settled for a 20-yard field goal to give them a 34-31 lead, but SDSU still had a chance to win or tie the game with its second overtime possession. Four plays into that possession, Sumner found Brandon Hubert for the 14-yard gamewinning touchdown. Hubert had nine receptions for 118 yards while adding two touchdowns. The Panthers look to come up with their first conference win of the season as they travel to Normal, Ill., to take on Illinois State University on Saturday.
SOCCER
Panthers split games against St. Ambrose and Loyola BEN LLOYD
Sports Writer
After suffering 12 defeats by a difference of one goal, the University of Northern Iowa women’s soccer team broke their trend Oct. 23 when they defeated the St. Ambrose University Fighting Bees 1-0, marking their third win of the season. However, the girls’ hard-luck trend continued Saturday as they found themselves on the losing end of a 1-0 match against
Loyola University Chicago. Wednesday’s game against the Fighting Bees was the Panthers’ second-to-last home game of the regular season. The match featured a good display of offense from the Panthers, who put together 11 shots throughout the match. Defensively, UNI was able to hold St. Ambrose to zero shots throughout the match. Three days later, UNI traveled to Chicago to face innerconference opponent LUC. The
Ramblers and the Panthers rounded out the bottom of the Missouri Valley Conference, and both teams looked to gain some kind of momentum before the postseason. It was Loyola who picked up the victory with a 1-0 win over the Panthers, pushing UNI’s conference record to 1-4. The Panthers will finish out the regular season when they take on the Vikings of Grandview University Tuesday night at home for Senior Night.
