Numbers are proposed predictions from 2012

Originally discussed four years ago, the athletics department at UNI is trying to decrease its reliance on the general education fund to create more stable revenue and focus the general fund on other institutional needs, said Troy Dannen, director of athletics. “UNI is among a small

group of institutions whose primary funding comes from the general fund and not from the student fee,” Dannen said. The general fund receives revenue each year from student tuition and from the state. See ATHLETICS, page 5

The renovations in Maucker Union are coming to an end, and organizations are starting to move into their new offices. Lisa Kratz, director of Maucker Union, said renovations began in mid June, and all that is left is cleaning up and painting. There were two major parts to the renovations in the Union. The first portion included remodeling the International

Students and Scholars Office, which received new staff offices, new technology and a conference room. The second part was renovating the Student Involvement Center, with a focus on offices for University of Northern Iowa groups such as UNI Proud, Campus Activities Board, Northern Iowa Student Government, Greek Life and Military and Veteran Student Services.

New course offered as alternative to Personal Wellness KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer

The University of Northern Iowa is adding a new experimental course that can serve as an alternative to Personal Wellness, according to Deirdre

Heistad, Liberal Arts Core director. The course, Dimensions of Well-Being, will have two parts, lecture and lab and will be offered this spring semester. “A variety of well-being topics will be offered for each component,” said Heistad. “Students

will be required to take one lecture or discussion course and one lab course.” The lecture component covers the first half of the semester and the labs are conducted during the second half of the semester.

“A lab component might be more beneficial because you could apply the information,” said Randi Heisterkamp, junior elementary education and early childhood education double major. Heisterkamp has taken

Personal Wellness, which she called a “high school health class,” and said she would have signed up for the new course if she had not already satisfied her LAC requirement. See NEW COURSE, page 5
