Republicans discuss push for funding increase at UNI SAMUEL HARRIS

Reps. Dean Fisher (left) and Walt Rogers (right) discuss funding for UNI Monday in the Maucker Ballroom.

Republican Reps. Walt Rogers and Dean Fisher announced they would support more funding for the University of Northern Iowa, but emphasized there is a difficult balance between funding higher education and using taxpayer money during a public forum on Monday.

“UNI really wasn’t being treated fairly on a revenue standpoint,” said Rogers when comparing UNI to the other two state universities in the Iowa legislature in past years.

About 20 students attended the

Northern Iowa Student Governmentsponsored forum to hear the representatives speak about Iowa’s education policy in the Maucker Union Ballroom.

Rogers, a UNI alumnus, is the representative for District 60, which includes the Waterloo and Cedar Falls area. Fisher is the representative for District 72, which is part of Black Hawk County.

Rogers is campaigning for the First Congressional seat. The seat is currently held by Bruce Braley, but he is seeking a U.S. Senate seat in 2014.

LaDene Bowen, University of Northern Iowa’s associate director of the Institute for Decision Making, was awarded for her work in the field of economic development by the International Economic Development Council Oct. 7.

“We often call it a juggling act,” said Bowen about working in her field. “If you’ve seen the spinning plates on the poles, you understand that it’s a very multifaceted type of job.”

Recipients of the award must have furthered the field and be dedicated to it. Bowen said they must be recognized by their peers.

An economic developer is one who helps citizens, local industries and the state for the benefit of the people.

The developer works with local businesses to help

When asked about the proposed $10 million permanent budget increase for UNI, Rogers was cautiously optimistic.

“I’ll be advocating for it, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to get it,” said Rogers.

Students asked questions during the forum and the representatives answered all questions while stressing the importance of the private sector.

“I’m advocating for keeping government spending down,” said Fisher when asked about Iowa’s budget surplus. He said he would be in favor of using the surplus to cut tax rates.

“If we lower our tax rates, we can increase the opportunity for employment,” said Fisher.

them grow, attract and keep employees, attract tourism and develop leadership and higher competency among the workforce.

During her nearly 30 years in the field, Bowen has trained economic developers, written articles published by economic development journals and mentored aspiring developers with a focus on female work in the field.

“I think that at one time, the field of economic development was pretty dominated by males,” said Bowen.

“There wasn’t as much of a distinction of minority populations, including females, so I’ve encouraged a lot of females in the business.”

As an economic developer, Bowen works closely with the workforce on a local level.

“Our group is not made up of academics; we’re practitioners,” said Bowen. “We have a practitioner’s approach.”

Though she is coming to the end of her career, Bowen is still looking toward LaDene Bowen the future and the rapid changes and issues that future economic developers may face.

Some of those changes include moving from a transactional to transformational approach to the economic development field.

Developers are beginning to focus on the quality of products to measure success instead of the amount of employees in the workforce, according to Bowen.

“There are enormous workforce changes that are occurring and need to occur to make Iowa and the places we live a more viable place to live and work,” said Bowen.

advocated dropping income taxes for a sales tax revenue stream.

“If we lower our tax rates, we can increase the opportunity for employment,” said Fisher.

When asked what topics they wanted to see addressed during the 2014 legislature, Fisher stressed tax cuts. He said he wanted to cut both personal and corporate income taxes as well as property taxes for private businesses.

Rogers also stressed the importance of tax policies and favors the state not spending more than they take in.

The representatives were asked about the idea of a uniform state policy to combat cyberbullying and bullying in general. An anti-bullying law was discussed in the Iowa legislature last year but was not passed. Both Fisher and Rogers agreed parents should be involved rather than the government when it comes to bullying outside of school.

At the end of the forum, both representatives agreed they support high quality education and want to see UNI grow into an even better university.

How would you improve the Liberal Arts Core?

DAVID POPE

Opinion Columnist

I may be in the minority here, but I love the Liberal Arts Core.

My education would not be nearly as eye-opening without it. As a political communication major, I have taken many courses seemingly unrelated to my studies as part of the LAC MADISON McKONE

Opinion columnist

As a senior at the University of Northern Iowa, I am just now finishing my last liberal arts core requirement. In total, UNI students must complete a minimum of 45 credit hours of liberal arts courses.

The university promotes PETER ICKES

Opinion Columnist

Many people at the University of Northern Iowa have concerns the Liberal Arts Core does not fulfill the purposes for which it was created.

However, although a paring down of the requirements may be beneficial to students, the current LAC fulfills its purpose

experience. As a student hungry to learn, though, they all impacted me immensely.

Introduction to women’s and gender studies opened my eyes to numerous levels of inequality existing both outside and inside the formal structures of governments and politics. How could I not reflect on the current class struggles and eco-

nomic turmoil of the U.S. when learning about worker uprisings in ancient Rome as part of a humanities class? In Statistics, despite the fact that it was a class I detested, I learned above and beyond how malleable and suspect to manipulation data can be (political polls, anyone?).

In a liberal arts biology class, I learned about micro-organ-

isms in the soil and gained a new appreciation for the complexity of Iowa’s agricultural issues and their impact on the environment. While taking a class on fossils and evolution to satisfy a science requirement, I was first introduced to the Jordan rock mass in Iowa and the commercial interests in mining it for the purpose of extracting frac sand,

a looming political and environmental battle.

I can’t think of a single class that hasn’t widened my understanding, and prepared me to be a citizen of the world as well as a young political professional. Maybe we don’t need to improve the LAC so much as stop complaining about it and actually learn.

the LAC by saying students will acquire skills, knowledge, perspectives and values that promote “life-long learning, enlarging the scope of their world to global issues and diverse cultures and increasing their strategies for solving complex problems they will encounter in the future.”

While I agree this diverse

education can be beneficial, I also feel more personalized LAC requirements would be valuable for students. When I came to UNI, I knew I would like to focus on writing to some degree. If my LAC classes had been more focused around my interest in writing, I feel that I would have gained more experience in my area of interest,

rather than putting time and energy into an area I would not utilize in the future.

To facilitate this sort of change, I encourage making more classes qualify for LAC requirements. This could be done by raising the number of hours needed in one of the six LAC categories of your choice and limiting the remaining five.

This change will maintain a student’s development in all areas while giving them access to classes that can be better applied to their future career.

Students who do not have a major in mind can complete the current LAC requirements. It is a win-win situation for those who have their future already decided and for those who don’t.

as long as both the instructors and students in the courses are committed to learning.

Professors must understand that most students only enroll in an LAC class because it is required of them. Therefore, part of the professor’s role is to create an atmosphere that will pique the interest of otherwise unengaged students.

There have been times in

my own experience where a teacher of an LAC class will present the material to the students as the most important thing they will learn while at university. Every field of study is important, but overt seriousness by professors within the LAC does more to stifle the average student than to inspire in them the desire to learn more.

Students should also give more effort to finding value in every LAC course they take.

It is beneficial for me to take a lighthearted approach to my LAC classes. Not every student likes to learn for the sake of learning, but having a negative attitude while taking a class only breeds negative results.

I urge students to gain a

basic understanding of why the university thinks the LAC is important by looking up the document “Purposes and Goals of the Liberal Arts Core” on the UNI website.

This in turn can help students find value in every course they take. It can help them understand how the classes will be useful in their field and in life after college.

LAURA HEBBELN

CHRISTOPHER DANIEL

Most college students seem to understand a liberal arts education is important. However, many do not understand why. An article by Richard Sigurdson, former acting dean of arts at the University College of the Cariboo, which can be read at www.uni.edu, explains the importance.

“A liberal arts education will enhance your knowledge and improve your understanding of the world and its people … it can also help you to engage in the controversies of our time — whether about the environment, cultural diversity, social justice, ethnic strife, gender relations or foreign policy.”

Requiring too many hours in the liberal arts is difficult, because students also need to fulfill requirements for their majors. However, I believe literature, philosophy and religion should not be lumped into one section, with only one class needed to complete it, because the study of religion is important for the American student of today.

Not only is it critical for the understanding of current controversies, such as the shooting of Malala Yousafzai or the 9/11 attacks, but it is important because America is the home of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus and adherents of countless other religions.

Students graduating from an American college must have a basic knowledge of the world religions that surround them, because an ignorance of religion cannot lead to a better understanding of the world and its people, which, as Sigurdson explained, is what a liberal arts education is all about.

In order to improve the liberal arts core at the University of Northern Iowa, religion and philosophy should be separated into its own category.

This way, a student at UNI will not have a gap in their religious and philosophical knowledge when they graduate. With this knowledge, the UNI graduate can be a more sensitive and understanding American citizen.

It can be said that he was a freshman or sophomore or that he didn’t pay attention in class, and relativity is a complex subject.

The Liberal Arts Core is an integral part of a University of Northern Iowa education, and it is healthy to take a look at its strengths and where it can be improved. As it stands, the LAC requires a total of 45 hours.

Considering the responsibilities students are increasingly taking on, 45 may seem like a reasonable number of hours to learn what it is to be an educated citizen. Therefore, any additions should be offset by reductions in other areas.

I’m sure there will be plenty of words regarding Personal Wellness, and I’d rather have all three Humanities classes required than requiring Personal

ics have a basic understanding of a fundamental part of modern physics, but non-major students who take physics as part of their Liberal Arts Core would understand the outlines of the theory.

It’s like taking an introduction to English literature without learning about the structure of narratives.

To improve the Liberal Arts Core, we must first make sure we are hiring and maintaining professors who are outstanding in their field. They ought to have earned recognition for excellence in teaching. It would also be a good idea to hire those that have

some practical (non-academic) experience related to their field.

Secondly, no multiple choice tests should be administered for major exams, such as midterms and finals. Instead, the test format should consist of short answers.

Too many LAC courses at UNI take the easy route and offer multiple choice exams to test students’; knowledge of the course topics.

Finally, wellness should be disposed of. It should be replaced with a computer or digital technology course. We offer them.

They ought to be integral to our education for a digital world.

Wellness.

One of the best things about the LAC is that it is flexible. With a few exceptions, students can choose between several classes to fill a requirement. This is good for empowering the student in their learning as well as allowing for flexibility when it comes to schedule conflicts.

Categories three, four and five of the LAC provide an additional area of flexibility. As a physical science major, I had my physical science class knocked out first semester with physics I. However, I am not done with the ‘science’ part of my general education; I must take a life science course.

Instead of requiring me to take an 18th science class, why not let me choose any of the

other LAC courses? Majors in the sciences, fine arts and social sciences should have the option for an LAC elective. By doing this, students will be more free to explore subjects outside their declared field. The LAC undergoes an update every couple years, and I’m sure that the LAC will continue to adapt to meet the needs of future students while still upholding the values of a liberal arts education.

HUMAN INTERESTS

Arriving from around the globe What do foreign exchange students think about UNI? KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

Students from all over the world, including China, Japan, Africa, Saudi Arabia and Singapore, have chosen the University of Northern Iowa as their temporary home.

“I like UNI a lot. I love the people,” said Niza Mundi, senior applied economic analysis major from Zampia, Africa. “Coming here I was ready to be on my own and not have friends for a while, but everyone is so nice and I made friends a lot more quickly than I thought. I’d say Iowa has the world’s nicest people.”

Kaverne A J Yi-Jun Lim, senior investments finance, real estate and accounting triple major from Singapore, said, “…the fact that professors here are able to bond with their students and help them due to the smaller class size ... is part of what makes UNI provide such qualitative education to students.”

He said all the free programs and opportunities have helped him “thrive and build a lot of good networking relationships.”

Jingyi Wang, junior human resource management major from China, said he

struggled with the differences between American and Chinese study styles at the beginning of the semester.

“I have adapted myself to study environment now and I have confidence to do better in the future,” said Wang.

A majority of the students questioned agreed they had felt welcomed, but there are a few students who felt the welcome fades as time passes on.

“Honestly, I felt welcome during the first few months after I came here, but the longer I stay here, the less welcome I could feel, especially when local students find out that international students may do better than themselves in academics or even get the opportunities for a scholarship, internship or job,” said Xin Hong, senior geography major from China.

Ghufran Owaishir, sophomore communications major from Saudi Arabia, agreed, saying he wanted to change “students’ attitude of shunning international students in classes.”

Some students believe the international students and the locals haven’t been thoroughly intermixed.

But there are still highlights to UNI that international students said they enjoy, such as the accessibility to the Wellness Recreation Center and Rod

Library.

When asked the interviewed international students were asked what they could tell their friends back home, they talked about the safeness of campus, the quality of education and professors, the affordability and the encouraging environment.

In 1984, students could walk through Maucker Union smoking a cigarette and holding an icecold Bud Light in one hand while munching on a Hardee’s Big Deluxe burger. Maucker Union has undergone some big changes since its opening in 1969. Some of these changes have been major, and some have faded into the background that we recognize in today’s Maucker Union.

There was talk about expanding the Commons, the previous student and faculty union, as early as 1958 due to growing enrollment, according to the Rod Library Special Collections.

The lawn between the Campanile and the West Gym was initially the proposed home of the new union, but in November 1964, President James Maucker suggested the space between Lang Hall and Rod Library as the construction site, according to the Special Collections Maucker opened the new union April 7, 1969, and at the dedication he said, “I wish, on behalf

of the entire university community, to dedicate this Union to the development of friendlier human relationships, exciting conversation and truly educative cultural experiences.”

Shortly after the Union’s opening, the Student Senate held a poll to choose the name of the new building, and the top three names were University Union, Panther Pit and Maucker Union. After spending five years as University Union, the official decision was made to rename the hub of campus Maucker Union, according to the Special Collections.

Maucker Union began selling draft beer in 1972 after university officials recommended it due to the legal drinking age in Iowa being lowered to 19. Nearly 300 glasses of beer were sold per day in the first week. Then Union Director John Ketter said UNI decided not to renew their liquor license in 1986 due to liability issues and an increase in the legal drinking age, according to the Special Collections.

Panthers end season with win BEN LLOYD

Sports Writer

It took 84 minutes, but the University of Northern Iowa women’s soccer team finally found the back of the net against Grand View University Tuesday night.

The goal came when a handball was called on the Vikings in the penalty area, which allowed UNI junior Caitlyn Fuller to give the Panthers a late lead. Fuller stepped up and slotted the ball past the Grand View keeper, giving the Panthers a 1-0 lead.

The Panthers scored again in the 89th minute when sophomore Maddie Welch received a pass from senior Claire Clark and made the shot.

Senior goalkeepers Erin Zaideman and Nicole Postel, who each played one half, recorded a shutout in the 2-0 win.

The game was the last of the regular season, marking the end for eight seniors.

Senior Allie Brees was given the team’s senior honorary award for good onand-off the field leadership.

“She came in as a freshman but acted like a senior her whole career. In four years of playing for me, I don’t recall her having one

bad practice or game,” said UNI head coach James Price.

“She came out and was the same person and player every day for us.”

“My career has been so much fun at UNI,” said Brees. I wouldn’t have wanted to spend the last four years anywhere else. This season has been a tough one for us, but we were able to end it the right way tonight on a positive note.”

The Panthers finished with a final record of 4-15.

“It hurts to lose so many games, but we have a group of girls that we think will learn from those losses and come back stronger from them next season and be the team that finds ways to win those close games next year,” said Price.

Though the Panthers will lose eight players, that’s only one-fourth of the total

roster.

For next season, Price said the team needs to concentrate on staying focused for the 90-minute games.

“There were times this season where our girls would turn off, which is something you can’t do. That and get a little more mentally tougher and score more goals are all things we need to improve on before next season,” said Price.

Panthers win big in exhibition COLE BAIR

The unofficial start to the college basketball season started Friday when the University of Northern Iowa defeated Bemidji State University 71-48 in an exhibition matchup.

Fifteen minutes into the game, the shooting went cold, and the Panthers found themselves behind 19-17 after a 11-2 run by the Beavers.

BSU couldn’t keep up the pace, as the Panthers outscored the Beavers by 20 points in the second half and out rebounded BSU 46-38 for the game.

Deon Mitchell was 1-4 from the field and recorded four turnovers and three assists in his 20 minutes of action.

“As we’ve seen, if (Mitchell) gets a little bit of daylight, a little bit of space, he’s awfully effective. Tonight we couldn’t quite get him that space,” said Ben Jacobson, head men’s basketball coach. “So we’ll have to watch it and see if we need to

He seemed more active, more comfortable in the second half,” said Jacobson. “It’s going to be interesting to how they call that ball screen defense.

That’s going to be part of the adjustment for everyone.”

Junior forward Seth Tuttle scored a team-high 21 points and grabbed a team-high eight rebounds while dishing out a team-high five assists.

HOROSCOPES

Today’s Birthday (11/01/13).

Honor ancestral wisdom this year as your leadership grows.

For seven months, it’s easier to make money. Divert more to savings. It gets especially romantic with extra spice in April.

Unleash creativity, and exhibit results. Summer brings exceptional sparks, including travel.

Pursue passion. Talk about what (and whom) you love.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 9 -- Frustration is only part of the equation. The more you do, the more you discover what needs to be done. But don’t push yourself too hard, either. Use turn signals. And empower the group to proceed.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Arguments get you nowhere. Clean up your closets and make some money turning your trash into somebody else’s treasure. It works like magic. You thrive in private more than in public right now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) -- Today is a 8 -- You may run into some opposition right now, but it’s nothing you can’t handle

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -Today is a 7 -- Don’t take action just yet. Postpone travel and stay close to home for now. Improve your neighborly relationships.

And don’t be ashamed of asking for assistance. A good conversation ensues.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 9 -- You’re in the spotlight, but don’t get blinded. Use what you’ve got and make it better. If what you’re doing doesn’t work, try something new. You’ll be surprised. Stay away from the mall now. Family comes first.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 8 -- Use your words, not force, to navigate in today’s high seas. Or find a safe harbor and wait until the weather subsides.

Let friends know what you want so you can advance together.

Respond passionately.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -Today is a 9 -- More confidence increases work, which in turn increases your sense of security. Gain insight into your own higher values. Make the necessary changes, and dig deeper.

Continue your studies.
