A little ticket goes a long way — 30,000-40,000 — parking tickets are issued per calendar year. AMBER ROUSE
Staff Writer
Walking out to your car after a day of studying can be liberating – until you find a parking ticket gently tucked underneath your windshield. Helen Haire, chief of police and director of public safety at the University of Northern Iowa, said the dollar amount of the parking fines is based on a number of factors. The fees are calculated from a comparison of rates with other universities in Iowa, a comparison of rates with other universities simi-
lar in size and location to UNI and the demographics of the UNI campus itself. Haire said anywhere from 30,000 and 40,000 tickets per calendar year are issued. Monthly, that comes to about 2,500 to 3,300 tickets. In 2012, paid parking tickets brought in approximately $421,000. What happens to that revenue? “The money generated goes into the general parking fund that is used to cover all parking expenses,” said Haire.
Only about 3 to 4 percent of all tickets issued are appealed; the main reason for the low percentage is that < See TICKETS, page 2

Branstad’s BOR nominees rejected LINH TA
News Editor
On April 8, the Iowa Senate rejected Governor Branstad’s appointments of Craig Lang and Robert Cramer to the Iowa Board of Regents. Currently, Lang serves as the president of the Board of Regents. Cramer runs a bridge construction firm, and formerly worked for the Family Leader, a conservative group in Iowa. In a split vote between Democrats and Republicans, Cramer was voted against 27-23 and Lang was voted against 30-20. To be appointed to the BOR, the Iowa senate must approve candidates by a two-thirds majority. Iowa Senator Jeff Danielson, D-Cedar Falls, said that he can’t speak
for other senators, but he felt that “under (Lang’s) leadership, the Board of Regents lacked transparency in decision making.” “What’s more, he failed to make changes that honored a public decision making process benefitting a public university. Therefore, I could not vote to re-confirm,” Danielson said. In regards to voting against Cramer, Danielson said, “I had deep concerns about his commitment to academic freedom and ensuring equal rights for all students and employees, given his past public actions as a sitting school board member and leader of a statewide nonprofit,” Danielson said. Danielson said that Cramer’s public

Graduation rates for UNI class of 2013 down from previous years BROOKS WOOLSON
News Writer
Graduation is approaching for the spring class of 2013, but fewer students will graduate this semester than during the spring semester of 2012. Phil Patton, registrar for the University of Northern Iowa, attributes the decline
to a lower number of seniors enrolled this semester. “The spring 2012 graduating class was much larger than normal,” Patton said. “I’m not sure of all the reasons, but the fact that it was so large will impact comparison rates with spring 2013.” Patton said there are about 100 fewer seniors enrolled
this spring than last spring. To be classified as a senior, a student must earn at least 90 hours of credit. As of the spring semester of 2013, 3,645 students fit the classification, which is down from 3,762 in spring of 2012. However, as Patton noted, there is not a simple relationship between the number of
students who have obtained that classification and the number of students who will ultimately graduate this semester. “The application to graduate process is an ongoing dayto-day situation,” Patton said. “At this point it is impossible < See GRADUATION, page 3

Students are able to purchase parking permits, which allow them to park in and around campus in the more than 8,300 parking spaces available, according to the UNI Public Safety website. The metered park-

Larimer pointed to the increase in partisanship in the Iowa government. “The rejection was still a bit of a surprise, particularly if you look at the history of such votes,” Larimer said. “Similar to U.S. Congress, we are seeing and hearing about more activities in Iowa government that break down neatly along party lines.” However, Larimer pointed out there is still bipartisan activity in the Iowa government, but the split between Senate Democrats and House Republicans has slowed down legislative activity.

In an interview on March 26, UNI Student Body President Jordan BancroftSmithe said he signed the letter because of Cramer’s actions towards the LGBT community. “The point of it is not that we think that someone who doesn’t agree with gay rights shouldn’t be on the board. We understand that there’s going to be a diverse set of opinions on the board,” BancroftSmithe said. “What bothered us about Cramer was that he was so active in his pursuit of getting rid of anti-discrimination rights for LGBT individuals.” Governor Branstad must now appoint other individuals as he sees fit to the BOR.

Laetare added some words of wisdom for students aspiring to graduate in the coming years. “My best piece of advice is to use your time wisely in school. In high school, there’s always somebody else looking out for you making sure you’re getting your stuff done, but once you get up to college, you have to make sure you’re getting stuff done and having fun after,” said Laetare.

However, Irlmeier is studying abroad and will not return until late April, so the incoming executives selected Reed, the current director, to serve in the interim. The transitional senate was then given a chance to ask the appointees questions and vote to confirm or reject the appointments.

A Christian perspective on gay marriage AUSTIN SMITH smithacp @uni.edu
Since when does a difference in opinion make somebody of opposite mind an enemy? When was it decided that one’s own religious, political and/or personal convictions define them as either a friend or bigot and nothing in between? It seems like we allow ourselves to dichotomize against each other more and more, instead of tolerating others who don’t think exactly the way we do. Of all the “hot topics” in our society today, the sheer black-or-white lines regarding homosexual matrimony seem the most appalling to me. It is an ongoing debate that is being made into an ordeal that can make or break opinions of one’s peers. With the recent judicial considerations regarding the legality of gay marriage, people began to change their social media photos to be a red and pink equal sign in support of equality in marriage. But not everybody did this, and when some people either did not change their photo or voiced that their opinions lean to the other end of the issue, it was not uncommon to be criticized simply for a difference of opinion.
EDITORIAL CARTOON
This is why I am writing this column today: to show that not everybody who holds views different from your own is a bigot or a blindly judgmental jerk. Sadly, some people truly are bigots or are simply closedminded, but these people can be found on both ends of any debatable issue, and they seem to be the growing majority to comment on many topics. If you have blood that’s quick to boil, then bear with me and don’t stop sometime into the next paragraph. According to the sacred texts of the three main monotheistic religions in the world (Christianity, Islam and
Judaism), homosexual marriage is clearly stated to be against the spiritual teachings of the religion. As a Christian individual, I believe that homosexual activity is a sin. According to the spiritual values I believe with my heart and soul to be true, it is clearly defined as such. So is cursing, stealing, coveting, badmouthing your parents, smoking (depending on who you ask) and many other things. This list is not intended to convey a sense of selfrighteousness or tell you that you’re doomed if you do any of these things; this is to say that I have my fair share of

sins too, so I am in no place to judge anybody or cast the first stone. Last week was Pride Week on the University of Northern Iowa campus. Multiple events were put on by UNI Proud, the campus lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender organization. One of the most popular events was the annual Drag Show. I was invited by a bisexual friend of mine, and although it pushed this guy’s comfort zone a fair amount, it was an enjoyable time and there were multiple Christian acquaintances of mine in attendance who also said they enjoyed watching and supMCT CAMPUS
porting their friends. How is this possible? Isn’t it hypocritical to say that homosexuality is a sin but still go see friends perform in the Drag Show? It’s pretty simple: Christians are called to love the person regardless of and beyond the sin. It is sad that there are people like the Westboro Baptist Church that feed such negative stereotypes of Christians or spiritual persons of any religion. People like that who blindly hate homosexuals, racial minorities and other “not-us” demographics are defining people by their sins, actions and/or natural state of existence; therefore, they (hopefully) should not be the typical example you think of when reflecting on your experiences with persons of faith. As far as LGBT marriage is concerned, even the most loving and tolerant of Christians have varying thoughts. If you want to know my opinion (which is assumed, given you are reading this opinion column), I don’t argue with a civil union that is in every way legally and earthly equal to a religious marriage. I believe in freedom of the individual and if that is their inclination, then let them pursue it. My thoughts on the federal government deciding whether civil unions will be legal in all 50 states is quite < See MARRIAGE, page 5

Back in January, Netflix announced that over 27 million people subscribe to its streaming services in the United States alone, despite their controversial decision to separate their < See MISTAKE, page 5

streaming and DVD rental services. And I have no doubt that a large portion of their subscribers are college students. For those of you who don’t spend copious amounts of time on the computer, Netflix is an online service that allows its subscribers to stream selected films and television shows to their computer or receive DVDs by mail or both. This business model has effectively rendered antiquated video stores like Blockbuster and Family Video obsolete, appealing to a generation that has become obsessed with convenience and instant gratification. What seems to have made Netflix so popular, at least my opinion, is not its vast library of films, but rather the collection of television shows both old and new that it offers for the viewing pleasure of its subscribers. Subscribers can catch up on that hit show all of their friends have been talking about before it returns to air with new episodes. They can binge watch whole seasons of popular shows in the span of a few days long after they’ve gone off air. More importantly, Netflix allows television shows that might’ve been cancelled before their true expiration date to reach new audiences. One of those shows would be “Arrested Development.” Premiering on Fox in the fall of 2003, “Arrested Development” received widespread critical acclaim and was able to survive three seasons on the air despite low ratings before being tragically cancelled. “Arrested Development” revolves around Michael Bluth (portrayed by Jason Bateman, before his starring roles in the hit comedy films “Horrible Bosses” and “Identity Thief ”), a straitlaced widower who is forced to keep his oddball family in check after his wealthy
father’s criminal mischief places the family company in turmoil as the target of a federal investigation. But a simple synopsis does not nearly do this particular comedy series justice. “Arrested Development” is one of the most intelligent, clever and original shows to grace the small screen, and you can quote me on that. In fact, I challenge you to find one person who was able to resist watching the rest of the series in its entirety after viewing just a single episode. It is that good. What other show out there devotes an entire subplot to one of its characters desperately pursuing a career with the Blue Man Group? Certainly no other show features the talents of a wisecracking puppet named Franklin Delano Bluth. And you’d be hard pressed to find elsewhere a veteran actor like Carl Weathers portraying a shady, penny-pinching version of himself. You have no idea what I’m talking about, do you? Good. So instead of buying that $3,000 suit you’ve always wanted, save your money and start watching “Arrested Development,” whether it be on Netflix or on DVD. Trust me, you’ll feel like a smarter person for it. You are free to continue watching reruns of good old “Friends” on TBS or even catch new episodes of that one show about a man’s long-winded account of how he met the mother of his very patient children, but there is no show on television quite as brilliant as “Arrested Development,” and right now you’re missing out on it. What makes “Arrested Development” so brilliant is how it uses its colorful collection of goofy characters (and the brilliant performances of the actors who portray them) to capture the absurd and hysterically funny misadventures of a dysfunctional but tight-knit family that you just can’t help but love.

And the show is so incredibly layered and well written that you might not even catch some of the more subversive jokes until a second or third viewing. If you start today, you’ll be able to finish before May 26, when Netflix debuts 15 new episodes of “Arrested Development” after reviving the series for a fourth season due to the growing fandom the show has inspired even after its unfortunate cancellation. So take a moment to stop updating your Bob Loblaw Law Blog and give this show a chance. After all, in this final month of college, as some of us approach the ominous uncertainty of graduation, I think we could all use a good laugh. As for the meaning of this column’s title, I guess you’ll just have to watch the show to find out. Blake Ruane is a senior in English from Cedar Falls.

different, but simply because I believe in the sovereignty of state governments to make their own decisions on matters such as this. Where I do take issue, however, is when homosexual marriage is requested to be performed in a church. I’ve heard of this happening and a church is often criticized if it declines. If a church or pastor decides not to perform LGBT marriage ceremonies, it’s not out of hatred or bigotry (unless you asked the folks at Westboro) but rather out of adherence to the teachings millions have devoted their lives and souls to for millennia. It’s like wanting to cook a pork roast for a Jewish or Muslim friend and being offended when they say they won’t eat it. If a church or pastor decides they will offer to do services, then that’s their prerogative and I find
no quarrel. Members of the LGBT community have almost always been a part of my life and have never been discriminated against because of my spiritual upbringing. Ask any one of my friends who is gay, lesbian or bisexual if they’ve felt discriminated against and see what their response is. I know this is not the case for all persons of religion, but how about we try and have people assume we’re not all hateful reprobates right off the bat and give us a chance to show that we are no enemy and can still show love. If you are still convinced after all you’ve read that this author is a bigot because of the difference in opinion, there’s not much else to say besides good day and God bless.

‘Clusterflunk’ comes to UNI ELIZABETH LYNCH Staff Writer
Two former University of Iowa students followed through on an idea to improve college success by creating the website Clusterflunk. The University of Northern Iowa got a taste of what it is like to “get flunked” when the founders and a Clusterflunk “Street Team” came to Cedar Falls to promote the newly launched site. Co-founder AJ Nelson explained Clusterflunk and how it can be used. “It’s a tool to talk to other students in your class, ask questions, share a document,” Nelson said. “It’s social media for class.” Nelson explained that co-founder Joe Dallago was frustrated with the lack of connections, help and resources in large classes, and wanted to create a website to address the problem. Sites similar to Clusterflunk already exist: CourseHero and Piazza are among sites similar to Clusterflunk. Dallago and Nelson wanted to created a better educational tool for students to use. The Clusterflunk team launched the site on Jan. 24 at the University of Iowa and said it was a success in reaching more than 1,600 users.

A member of the Clusterflunk street team places a piece of promotional material on a door in the quads Monday. Representatives of the academics-based social media site were on campus to promote to students.
The co-founders recently made Under30CEO’s list of Top 10 Rookies of the Year for their entrepreneurship. Nelson and Dallago call promoters of the site the Street Team or “Flunkers.” When the duo brought the Street Team to Cedar Falls to promote the website, they did not obtain a permit to hand out flyers on campus. To get the word out, the team resorted to a round-
about way, as it is a violation of UNI policy to solicit commercial advertisements, said Milissa Wright, associate director of public safety. Some on the UNI campus weren’t sure about whether the site was legitimate. “I think it’s really cool, but I’d be worried I’d get in trouble. Isn’t it like cheating?” said Molly Norman, UNI freshman communication major.
“We’d actually clusterFLUNK!” said Danielle Grasso, freshman textiles and apparel major. Nelson said posts on Clusterflunk may be anonymous. The site also has a monitoring tool. If a document or post is “flagged” or marked as inappropriate, the post will be removed. Nelson explained that < See CLUSTERFLUNK, page 7

2Cellos brings modern take on classical instrument LUKE PALANDECH Music Writer
On Tuesday, cello duo Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, better known to their millions of fans as 2CELLOS, performed to a packed house at GallagherBluedorn Performing Arts Center. Known for their unconventional and creative approach to the use of a cello, the group performed a variety of musical genres, from classical to modernday pop music, using just two cellos, with additional accompaniment from drummer Dusan Kranjc. Sulic and Hauser showed off their technical as well as melodic prowess on their instruments, trading off playing the instrument and vocal melodies of each of their covers with seamless transitions. The group had a full sound, covering the melodic range of the song, despite only having two of the same instrument. “The reason why we started a group < See 2CELLOS, page 7

Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, the two members of 2Cellos, perform at the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center Tuesday night. The duo, both of whom grew up in Croatia, play the cellos in a sort of “dueling” style and play off of one another while mixing the traditional sounds of the cello with modern rock and roll music and songs by artists such as U2, Coldplay and more.
Relay for Life of the University of Northern Iowa has created a slogan that captures the spirit of their upcoming event: “Cancer doesn’t sleep, so neither will we.” The event, which will see students and Cedar Falls community members up all night participating in Relay for Life, is a way to raise funds to support the American Cancer Society. The ACS works to fund cancer research, support current cancer patients and cancer survivors and more. Relay for Life of the University of Northern Iowa will take place from 6 p.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday in the McCleod Center. At the event, participants will be asked to have at least one team member walking the course at all times. While not walking the course, participants are invited to enjoy the numerous games, performances and activities that will be held throughout the event. Relay for Life of UNI has been an on-campus organization for 11 years. To coincide with the 11-year mark, the organization hopes to raise $111,000, Relay for Life of UNI Vice President Amanda Robertson said. Last year’s event raised $102,000. Registration for the 2013 event is available through their website, relayforlife.org/uni. Participants can create or join a team or donate directly through the site. Check-in begins at 5:30 p.m. Friday and teams may register up until the start of the event. Fundraising will continue throughout the entire event, which is open to the public. To get started with fundraising, Robertson suggested “blowing up social media.” Sophomore communications major Maddie Twedt had a similar strategy. “I posted Facebook statuses about joining my Relay for Life team and asked friends. People added themselves to my team roster through the website,” Twedt said. “To fundraise, I sent out emails to family and friends about donating and explained how they could do it online.” Twedt’s team, named “Got Hope,” has eight members. Collectively, they have raised more than $200.

with only two cellos is because we wanted to show how strong and powerful this instrument is, all the possibilities that it brings,” said Sulic. “It’s the greatest instrument ever.” “I fell in love with the cello when I heard it on the radio when I was young,” said Hauser. “It’s warm and gentle, and it’s the instrument that sounds most like a human’s voice.” The two played off of each other throughout the show, not only trading riffs but also glances and body language that suggested a duel was constantly being waged between them as they performed. In their cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal,” the song ended with a frantic race to the finish where each tried to play faster and better than the other before a swift and sudden stop. The rapport between the two started in their youth. Each grew up in Croatia, picking up the cello at an early age. “There aren’t a lot of cellists in Croatia,” said Sulic. “We met at a summer camp and we felt this chemistry between us.” “We used to be rivals when we performed individually, but now we duel each other onstage,” said Hauser. Indeed, the 2CELLOS’ competitive nature brought them their initial fame when they released a music video of themselves performing “Smooth Criminal” on YouTube two years ago. There, the world first got a glimpse of the two cellists, showing off their technical skill and passion in their unique cover of the song. In the video, Sulic and Hauser play across from each other, each trying to better the other. “We wanted to do something crazy – something that could show off the cello’s capabilities,” Sulic said, referring to the video. The cellists may have had an ulterior motive as well. “We wanted to get girls,” said Hauser. “Girls don’t respond to the classical music, the Beethoven, but when we played Michael Jackson, they loved that. We wanted to be rock stars.”
For a cello concert, the night had more than its fair share of rock and roll. The group covered various hits by rock acts such as U2, Green Day, AC/DC and Jimi Hendrix, all while using carbonfiber electric cellos. Their choice in this version of the instrument allowed them the opportunity to use effects more often associated with the electric guitar, including distortion, loops and a shimmering chorus effect used on their cover of “Human Nature” by Michael Jackson. The concert began with “Benedictus,” a somber, classical melody that evolved into the beginning of “Where the Streets Have No Name” by U2. From there, 2CELLOS played a variety of contemporary hits they covered on their new album, “In2ition,” including “Viva La Vida” and “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” by Coldplay, “With or Without You” by U2, “Good Riddance” by Green Day and the classical “The Book of Love” by The Magnetic Fields. “We just want people to enjoy the music,” said Sulic. “This album represents who we are as musicians. We don’t divide music into genres; it’s all the same to us.” The show ended with a rousing crescendo. Joined by their drummer, the 2CELLOS closed the show with a myriad of rock covers, including “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix. They ended the night with the back-to-back to back AC/DC covers, “You Shook Me All Night Long,” “Highway to Hell” and “Back in Black.” At the end of the show, the audience was on its feet, giving the duo a standing ovation that led to an encore. The audience clapped along and cheered loudly at the various feats Sulic and Hauser displayed on the cello. With their mixing of the new with the old, the duo delivered a unique cello performance that challenged the traditional use of the instrument. “They were great,” said Jonathan Haverdink, a freshman cello performance major. “But I felt they also took advantage of all the money they had (with their use of effects). They used a variety of crowd-pleasing tricks that I felt was a little cheap.”

Braden Gaal shot a season-best 68 to finish with a total score of 222. The Panthers shot a 312, 297 and 300 over three rounds to finish in 10th place. UNI will compete in the Missouri Valley Conference Championships April 29.

Led by Braden Gaal’s season-best third round, the University of Northern Iowa men’s golf team finished in 10th place at the Columbia Orthopaedic Group Mizzou Intercollegiate after posting a team score of 909. With a score of 609 through two rounds, the Panthers finished off the event by carding a 300 in the final round of play Tuesday
afternoon to move from 11th to 10th place. Despite shooting an 81 in the first round of play, Gaal followed up the performance with a 73 in the second round and, of course, his stellar 68 to cap off the event. His 222 was strong enough to tie for 18th place on the individual leaderboard. Behind Gaal on the scorecard for the Panthers was Kyle Driscoll, who shot his tournament-best score in the second round when he carded a 73. Overall, Driscoll
placed in a tie for 38th place individually. Next on the scorecard for UNI were Ryan Argotsinger, Jacob Bermel and Michael Wetrich, who finished in a tie for 42nd place, 54th place and 56th place, respectively. Just like his fellow teammates Gaal and Driscoll, Argotsinger shot a 73 in the second round to tally up his low for the tournament. Overall, the Panthers made up for their first-round 312 by shooting a 297 in the second

round and a 300 in the third to move up from 11th to 10th place out of 12 teams. UNI was one of 11 teams to finish over par while the tournament winner, the University of Missouri, shot 12 strokes under par. UNI finished the tournament 45 strokes over par. With only one event left in the season, UNI will head to Cape Girardeau, Mo., to compete in the Missouri Valley Conference Championships April 29.
For the second time this season, the University of Northern Iowa softball team had a Wednesday game cancelled. The Panthers were scheduled to play the University of Wisconsin for a doubleheader, but the games were cancelled due to poor weather. The two games against UW will not be made up at a later date. The Panthers will return to the field Saturday as they host Wichita State University in a three-game series. It is the first time the Panthers have played in Cedar Falls since Feb. 10, and the first time UNI has played a game at Robinson-Dresser Field all season. First pitch against WSU is scheduled for Saturday at noon.

OPINION
Knodle excited about the future ahead Kurt Warner could JACINDA RUGGLES
Sports Writer
Setting both personal and University of Northern Iowa records her freshman year, Paige Knodle is one of a kind. From Byron, Ill., Knodle came to the UNI track & field team as a hurdler. However, she turned out to add much more than hurdling to the mix. Knodle’s parents, Lynn and Doug, along with sister Brittany, have shown a lot of support all the way from Illinois. The three try to come to as many meets as possible. In addition to the support of her family, Knodle is also appreciative of the support from UNI students. “There’s a lot more student body at meets than I thought there would be,” said Knodle. However, she said that her family has been her support system throughout her entire career and is what drives her still.
When Knodle was looking at colleges and universities, she chose UNI because she loved the coaching staff, campus and people. “They cared not only about track but also your life,” said Knodle of the UNI coaches. Knodle believes the most helpful coach for her is Dan Steele. As her biggest influence since coming to UNI, Steele is important to Knodle. She said he is both knowledgeable about the field as well as a good mentor. After playing multiple sports in high school, Knodle had a rough time mentally adjusting to focusing on one sport. It was a big change she has adjusted to well. After finishing much better than anticipated last year, Knodle is hard at work again this year. She is driving herself to be better than last year, and is certainly focusing on finishing the season strong. < See PROFILE, page 9

Sports Columnist
The University of Northern Iowa lacks in image compared to the other state schools. UNI needs to add some spice so they can be in the same conversation as Iowa State University and the University of Iowa while also bringing up the revenue in Panther sports. The Panthers need an image overhaul. UNI could have that perfect image. To get it, the announcer needs to say what he used
to: “Standing in at 6 feet 2 inches, 214 pounds, two-time National Football League Most Valuable Player winner, four-time Pro Bowler who passed for more than 32,000 yards in his career, Kurt Warner.” Warner did work as a graduate assistant before heading to start his NFL career, and UNI needs to bring him back if they want to get an edge on the other state schools. ISU and Iowa tout an incredible zero NFL MVPs, so this is < See WARNER, page 9

“I just want to finish well at nationals this year,” said Knodle of her current goal. Last year Knodle did well in the Junior Nationals, an event for those 20 years of age or younger, but she says that has not been her biggest accomplishment. “Last year at conference I had a big personal best. I wasn’t expecting that,” said Knodle. Knodle said this year’s team, just like most others, has been very supportive and cooperative. Knodle appreciates her training partner each year and loves being on the team. Knodle hopes to keep improving throughout her time at UNI. “It’s hard to put a place or a number that I want to get to. The biggest thing for me is to keep improving,” said Knodle of her goals while attending UNI. Knodle plans to keep working on her technical events. Her goal is to qualify setting a goal for nationals.

As a movement and exercise science major, Knodle’s dream is to coach, ideally within the track and field setting. Knodle doesn’t have a favorite event, although as her
The Panthers could pull in many more perspective students. I have seen advertisements where UNI refers to its fan base as “Panther Town.” ISU and Iowa refer to their fan bases as Cyclone and Hawkeye “nation.” Having Warner more involved with UNI would help build the university’s overall image, promoting this town into a nation of its own.

starting event, Knodle said she will always love the hurdles. “Each event has different things that I like about them, but I carry hurdles over from high school track and field,” said Knodle. “The best part is just being a part of something bigger than myself. There are a lot of opportunities.”

something UNI needs to take advantage of. If Warner needs some persuading to help out Panther football and the athletic program as a whole, UNI needs to make him an offer he cannot refuse. We need Warner bobblehead nights, Warner autograph nights and catcha-pass from Warner nights. All these different themed nights would help UNI build their image. Everyone would want to come out to a Panther game to see the future Hall of Famer. Warner could even star in television advertisements promoting the university, which would help put UNI on the map. I do not understand
why this has not been done already. It cannot be that hard to convince an alumnus to come back and help promote his school. Everyone would welcome him with open arms. Last year, UNI averaged 9,000 spectators for each football game. Theme nights and appearances by Warner should make that number shoot up very quickly. If the program promoted him more, the Panthers could be bringing in more recruits. Not only would Warner’s promotion of UNI help out the athletic program, but it would also help out the academic side. When UNI beat Kansas in the NCAA Tournament, it brought a lot attention to the university, so you can imagine what a star like Warner could do for UNI.
