Tensions were high as the new Northern Iowa Student Government senate met April 10 to vote on the new director appointments of the execu-
tive branch. After hours of deliberation and debate, senate voted against the appointment of junior economics and English major Beth Monnier as the director of governmental relations on a vote of 10-3-1.
The senate also voted against the appointment of junior psychology major Elijah Seay as the director of diversity and student life on a vote of 8-3-2. “I do believe that the people we chose were the most quali-
fied people for the position. At the same time, though, this is a great sign to me that this senate is going to be very active,” said Student Body President Tom Madsen. < See NISG, page 2

Students at the University of Northern Iowa may have heard the rumor that UNI is the second windiest campus in the country, but professor of meteorology Alan Czarnetzki said the alleged ranking may or may not be true. “I have heard the rumor that our campus is one of the windiest in the United States,” Czarnetzki said. “This is difficult to confirm or deny. … However, I think many of us at UNI would agree that this is a windy place. “ Not all aspects of a windy campus are bad, according to junior biology major Hanan Al Harthi.
“I benefit from the wind in the summer when it’s all hot and humid,” said Al Harthi. “But during the winter, let’s just say it will be a miracle if you can feel your hands.” Czarnetzki said the reason for the wind on campus may be UNI’s geographic location. “Part of this may be the fact that the elevation of campus is a little greater than the immediate surroundings. ... Generally, winds are faster at higher elevations,“ said Czarnetzki. Studying on a windy campus might have its own advantages. “I think there are good days and bad to it. During < See WIND, page 2

PORTRAIT
“I know that senate is going to be checking up on Blake and I and what we do.” During the senate meeting, senators raised questions about both candidates’ experiences and qualifications for their positions. Questions posed toward Monnier included her political experience and connection to local Iowa politics, her relationship with and campaign work for Madsen and Findley, her lack of attendance at Regents Day and UNI Day and plans for the upcoming year as DoGR. Monnier said she hoped to make the voice of students “heard easily at the state capitol” by inviting student organizations to Des Moines for hearings about pieces of legislation important to them. Additionally, she stated she wanted to expand Regents Day and continue to push the tax-free textbook initiative. In regard to her relationship with Madsen and Findley, Monnier said she knew Findley from classes, being Presidential Scholars and Campbell Hall senate. Additionally, she worked on Madsen and Findley’s campaign team for a short time. While Monnier does not have experience with local Iowa politics, she said she will be an intern for Sen.

DoGR Jaime Yowler to the Iowa Capitol to meet legislators. Regarding Regents Day and UNI Day, Senator Jordan Wilmes said, “The Regents Day and UNI Day are two very important outreach events that we do as student government. And I just maybe have a little bit concern that the director elect has not attended those,” Wilmes said. Following Wilmes’ comment, Senator Tyler Moran also stated the importance of Regents Day and asked Monnier why she didn’t attend and whether she’s “truly interested in government.” Monnier said she couldn’t attend Regents Day in previous years because of class obligations and a date change. Additionally, she said she couldn’t attend UNI Day because of classes. “I am truly interested in government,” Monnier said, discussing her internship with Grassley. “I’m really interested in representing the students of UNI through that position.” Some senators and Madsen and Findley continuously defended Monnier and her appointment. Both Madsen and Findley agreed that while Monnier may not have extensive local political knowledge or connections, they thought she was the most qualified based on her traits and ability to work in their branch. “Beth is highly qualified for the position. I will always maintain that,” Findley said. He also conceded the point senate made about her minimal political experience. “Correct, she does not have as much political experience as the other applicants. However, when we were hiring for the position, we decided that we were going to look at the applicants in their entirety,” he said. Seay also faced a slew of questions regarding his qualifications, including his knowledge of all minority groups on campus, his future plans

as DDSL and his experience with NISG. Additionally, questions were raised regarding Madsen and Findley’s choice to appoint Seay instead of Alicia Jessip, who previously served in the position. Seay did not know about the insurance policy currently in place for international students, but he said he knows of some issues in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and is willing to learn more. Darin Adams, serving as a proxy for Senator Eric Boisen, asked Seay if he knew the name of the veterans’ group on campus, which Seay said he did not. In addition, senators questioned why Seay previously quit serving as a senator in NISG. Seay said his Resident Assistant duties deterred him from serving. For the future of the position, Seay focused on UNIty Week as well as “(bringing) pride to the diversity UNI currently has.” Additionally, he said he hoped to allow student voices to be heard and wanted to continue Jessip’s initiative of bringing student leaders together. Jessip, who was in attendance at the meeting, spoke about what she wants to see in the future DDSL. “I want someone who does care about representing, advocating for all students, especially students who are marginalized. The idea of just holding a UNIty Week and uniting us all for one day and then the rest of the (time) we have to go about our lives being a marginalized minority on campus – I don’t quite agree with that,“ Jessip said. Seay did not respond to a request for an interview. Madsen said he was “extremely disheartened,” by senate’s rejection of Seay. “I think he would’ve done an excellent job at it, Madsen said. Findley said Seay had the experience he and Madsen were looking for, as well as a relatable personality and a commitment to the university. “I certainly wasn’t expecting it. I wasn’t expecting any contention,” Findley said
FRIDAY HIGH: 43 LOW: 28 CHANCE OF SNOW
regarding the senate’s rejection. When questioned on why they chose Seay over Jessip, Findley had no comment. For the future appointment of directors, Madsen and Findley may appoint someone whom they believe fits the position, open up the pool of applicants or choose from the existing pool of applicants, according to former Speaker of the Senate Jared Parker. Findley did not comment when questioned what his and Madsen’s plans are for their next appointments. Director rejections are rare in NISG history. “I don’t think I’ve seen a rejection in my three years. Not sure the last time it happened,” Parker said. Speaker of the Senate Stef McGraw has also never heard of not approving executive appointments to the upper cabinet. “I think it shows there may be some tensions between the senate and the executive branch this year,” McGraw said. “There’s good and bad in that. I think it’s true that senate is a check on the executive (branch) but it could make some of their goals difficult to pass.” Findley and Madsen acknowledge and encourage senate’s right to check their power. However, both said they wished senate reconsidered the appointments. Findley said there could have been fewer “personal attacks.” “Basically I’m incredibly disappointed about really the attitude/atmosphere that was prevalent in the meeting. That’s the type of attitude that causes a bit of the disconnect between NISG and the students,” Findley said. However, he said he also understood why some points were brought up regarding the appointments. Madsen looked at the positive side of the meeting. “This is a great opportunity for us. I don’t think we’ve had a senate like this in a long time, that’s really invested in the issues, really looking into stuff, asking deep questions,” Madsen said.

Keep an eye on NISG NATE KONRARDY konrardy @uni.edu
This week, Tom Madsen and Blake Findley start their reign as student body president and vice president. Whether you voted for them because of their celebrity endorsements or because they gave you a zebra cake, the reality of the situation is that they will be representing you for the next year. Contrary to what appears to be becoming popular belief, there is much more to the office of president and vice president than dressing nice and fraternizing with “the suits” around the state. The duties of a successful student body
president or vice president can be represented by an iceberg, where maybe 10 percent of the effort is seen and defines the students’ perspective of the office while the other 90 percent of the work is done behind the scenes and under the surface. Such duties include, but are not limited to, mediating student grievances, drafting policy language, representing the interests of the student body to the Iowa Board of Regents and – one of the most important duties – chairing the Student Services Fee committee, which decides how a fee paid by every student is allocated. The problem is that we have created a culture in which we are obsessed with our titles. We couldn’t care less if we are the best fit for a position; we instead use the opportunity to add another line
to our résumé. The problem with such résumébuilding tactics is that simply having a position title on your résumé does not necessarily mean you have adequately fulfilled the duties associated with that position. The acquisition of such a title should not be viewed as a success, for all that has been accomplished at the start of one’s term is the physical transition into office. That position title on one’s résumé should not be blindly respected for the simple fact that it exists. Titles are man-made and existed before an individual ever filled the position, but the legacy a particular individual leaves can only be determined by their actions

Cheating the system or cheating yourself? MADISON McKONE
mckonem @uni.edu
It’s the night before your final exam and you are nowhere near prepared. The hours drag on, but the information just won’t stick. Without a decent letter grade, your GPA will drop, you’ll be at risk of losing your scholarship and you might disappoint your parents. You’ve been up all night and the test is in one hour.
What do you do? Unfortunately, this situation is a common reality for many college students. With the pressure of getting good grades at an all-time high, many students have turned to cheating. Although some universities might refuse to believe that cheating is becoming a larger issue, many statistics show that the percentage of students violating the academic honor code is on the rise. A U.S. survey from “The Great Cheating Scandal,” published in Macleans maga-
zine, states that 44 percent of professors have not reported cheating they had discovered to school officials. At Rutgers University in New Jersey, cheating and academic dishonesty doubled to 52 percent while the number of students admitting to helping others increased by 14 percent. Internet sources give students access to easier methods of cheating. Online, there are countless sources of essays and full paragraphs of information that students effortlessly steal and copy word for word without giv-
ing credit to the source. Additionally, academic fraud takes place in all fields of study and within all levels of intelligence. At 56 percent, business students are at the top of the cheating spectrum, while engineering students are at a close second with a 54 percent cheating rate. Even students who aim to become our doctors, dentists and lawyers have been caught falsifying credits and fixing grades. That is not, however, to < See CHEATING, page 5
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
NISG senate out of touch with constituents The farce that was the Northern Iowa Student Government senate meeting on April 10 shows the irrelevance of our elected senators at the University of Northern Iowa. In this transitional session, senators from every college rejected two of 201314 President Tom Madsen’s appointments for his cabinet, establishing a firm precedent for the upcoming academic year that the legislative branch will attempt to undermine our new executives at every turn. Everyone can acknowledge the election was close, and there are plenty of emotions which still must be sorted through. However, the voting results from last Wednesday are unacceptable. Questioning of the Cabinet nominees took on the appearance of a carefully coordinated attack upon the new administration, carried out by the senators. Hiding behind masks of pomp and duty, the senators who denied Beth Monnier and Elijah Seay cabinet positions displayed a pretentiously over-inflated sense of selfimportance. Tom Madsen and Blake Findley were legitimately elected by the student body, by however thin a margin, and have the right to assemble their own team, barring any clearly unfit nominations. Having recently gotten to know Beth, I can affirmatively attest to her strength of character and fitness for the director of governmental relations position. I would question the motives of anyone who would deny that position to such a clearly capable nominee. As for Elijah, I do not know him personally, but I trust Tom and Blake’s judgement in putting forward the candidate they feel would flesh out the most cohesive team. As a final word, let me note: such a denial of cabinet appointees has never happened in recent memory. Ask whomever you would like. Typically, candidates are unanimously approved. That such events transpired on April 10 only serves to emphasize the degree to which the senate has fallen out of touch with its constituents. Peter Ickes Sophomore, biology

CHEATING
continued from page 4
say that all students cheat. Those who choose college should be commended for their decision. It is an honorable thing to further your education in the hopes of achieving your dream job. Willingly committing to four or more years of hard, stressful schoolwork is not the easy option, and those who do take that step are often rewarded for it in the long run. Nevertheless, you are here to learn, to better yourself and to discover who you really are. Cheating defies everything that college stands for and everything you have chosen to undergo. While some universities are trying new methods to eliminate cheating, students continue to violate academic integrity and plagiarize material because of the pressure to meet high expectations. This pressure causes students to make their own rules and attend school to get the degree, not the education. They find loopholes, shortcuts and ways to beat the system. Some students even claim that cheating is an acquired skill they can use in the future, and that they would rather receive a low grade for cheating than appear stupid. One of the scariest aspects is not only the lack of integrity, but the fact that attitudes and work ethic demonstrated in college often stay with a student when they enter the workforce. Deborah Eerkes, director
of the student judicial affairs at the University of Alberta, said students who cheat try to get good grades without putting in effort, and the underlying cause of the cheating follows them. In other words, if this dishonest behavior continues, employers will suffer the consequences. What many don’t realize is that an average student can be just as competitive as a straight-A student in the job market. Employers are searching for candidates with a positive, ambitious attitude and experience, all of which do not appear on a transcript. A simple letter grade is not worth the possible consequences of being caught cheating, especially when the grade will not make or break you. Employers will take working to pay for college, being involved and other circumstances into consideration, as long as you offer another beneficial trait in return. Cheating, on the other hand, is not something they will be willing to look past. Whether it is stealing an online essay or copying test answers, don’t let the pressures of earning a 4.0 tarnish your integrity. Not only are you cheating the system, but you are cheating yourself. Instead, focus on getting hands-on experience and optimizing the positive qualities you already have.

while in office. A prerequisite to being a leader is having followers. This leaves us with two types of leaders: those who view their followers as subordinates, and those who view them as equals and attempt to inspire their equals to help work for the greater good of their community. Acts of defiance, refusing to do what ought to be done out of spite, proves only one’s weakness. It’s easy to be a leader when you have absolute control, but great leaders are not those who force their constituents to submit.
Great leaders are those who enable others to act by means of inspiring a shared vision. Nothing does a better job of recruiting others to fight for your cause than possessing the ability to encourage the heart. Being a good leader is not successfully quelling opposition, for at that point we have what Martin Luther King Jr. describes in his Letter from Birmingham Jail as a “tyranny of majority.” At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how many leadership conferences you have attended or the names of the organizations in which you have held positions; what matters is whether or not an individual has the ability to set

GBPAC hosts country legend Willie Nelson
BENNY SIEU/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/MCT
Willie Nelson introduces a performer during Farm Aid’s 25th anniversary concert in Wisconsin in October of 2010. Nelson performed on the Gallagher-Bluedorn Perfoming Arts Center last Wednesday night.
LUKE PALANDECH Music Writer
It’s not every week that two big-name artists visit the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center on back-to-back days. One day after the up-and-coming 2CELLOS performed an upbeat show, country legend Willie Nelson brought country and blues to the forefront in a packed 90-minute setlist on Wednesday, April 10. The ageless Nelson, 79, sounded much younger than his years would suggest. There was power and clarity in his voice and his guitar playing, an often-overlooked part of his talent, which rivaled that of many younger guitar heroes.
On his legendary Martin N-20 guitar, known to many as “Trigger,” Nelson laid down a plethora of bluesy riffs and solos in between singing phrases of his songs. Nelson was backed by Family, his backing band since 1973. The group consisted of his sister Bobbie on piano, percussionists Billie and Paul English, bassist Kevin Smith and harmonica player Mickey Raphael. The show began with opening act Rebecca Wilson and her band doing a variety of blues, country and southern rock songs. After an intermission and a stage rearrangement, Nelson was ready to come on stage. Nelson received a lengthy
standing ovation from the crowd at the sold-out GBPAC before he even played or sang a note. Nelson began with the show with his outlaw classic, “Whiskey River” behind the backdrop of a 40-foothigh Texas state flag. He kept the hits coming throughout the night, playing all of his best-known songs, including “Crazy,” “Nightlife,” “Me and Paul,” “On the Road Again” and “Funny How Time Slips Away.” The audience, many of them past middle age, was well acquainted with all of his songs, singing along with Nelson throughout the show. They raised their beer glasses during “Beer for My Horses” and cheered loudly anytime Nelson played another classic song. They threw their hats and bandannas onstage, and Nelson would oblige them by putting them on throughout the show. Nelson closed the show by doing two new songs off of his upcoming album, “Let’s Face the Music and Dance.” According to his website, it will be released April 16. He performed the title track and, true to his reputation as a lover of marijuana, he played a song titled, “Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die.” < See NELSON, page 7

Earth Week campus events planned KIRSTEN TJOSSEM Staff Writer
Earth Week at the University of Northern Iowa will kick off Monday, April 22 with the Earth Week Celebration, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. outside Maucker Union. Students will have the opportunity to learn about different environmental products available to them at various booths. “I think it’s important to be aware of what’s going on on campus. I think it’s important to also be environmentally conscious,” said Scotti Schon, an educational outreach associate at the Recycling and Reuse Technology Transfer Center and one of the student organizers of Earth Week. Following the Earth Week Celebration, there will be a
yoga session with Wellness and Recreation Center instructors from 3-3:30 p.m. in Lawther Field. A screening of “The Clean Bin Project” will take place Tuesday in room 115 of the Center for Energy and Environmental Education at 12:30 p.m. The documentary film tells the story of a couple that went waste-free for an entire year. A campus cleanup will follow from 4-6 p.m. On Wednesday there will be a bike ride on area trails from 6-8 p.m. The ride will begin at Mulligan’s on 18th Street. Earth Week will conclude Thursday with a beanbag tournament at 5 p.m. in Lawther Field. Amber Blackmon, a student intern with RRTTC, is also one of the planners and orga-
nizers of the events. “I feel that it is important to get the word out about our Earth Week activities so that we can create and promote healthier and more resilient communities, especially here at UNI,” said Blackmon. For more information on this year’s events and to register for them, visit www.rrttc. com. “We want UNI students to attend the Earth Week activities so that we can encourage and demonstrate to them how reducing our eco-footprint is extremely important for creating a more sustainable world. During Earth Week we will show UNI more practical ways of doing this while having some fun too,” said Blackmon.

FILM REVIEW
D. STEVENS/Warner Bros/MCT
Harrison Ford, left, in the role of Branch Rickey, the team executive, and Chadwick Boseman in the role of Jackie Robinson in the film “42.”
Jackie Robinson biopic ‘42’ falls short of expectations PAUL LICHTY
Film Critic
I don’t think anybody can disagree with me in saying that the story of Jackie Robinson is one of the great stories in our nation’s history. His story is so inspiring, it cries to be told on the big screen. Writer and director Brian Helgeland’s “42” does just that, and while it does the story justice, the film itself is bland and is trapped in typical biopic clichés at every turn. Cast in the lead role is little-known actor Chadwick Boseman, whose work prior to this film mainly includes TV work. I really admire Helgeland’s decision to cast Boseman in the role because giving little known actors a chance to play such an iconic figure is rare. Usually roles like this are given to big name movie stars who see roles like these as a chance to win the Oscar gold. Boseman rises to the challenge to the best of his ability, though the dialogue he is working with only hinders actors in their efforts to breathe flesh and blood into their characters (I’ll get to this in detail a little later). The man who signed Robinson on to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers was team executive Branch Rickey, played by Harrison Ford. Ford provides the film occasional comic relief, but in his serious scenes, Ford misses the mark completely, and it all has to do with his accent. It’s so gravelly and grouchy to the point where it’s overdone to the extreme. He could have delivered his lines cross-eyed and the impression he would have conveyed wouldn’t have been any different. But Ford is not the reason this biopic doesn’t rise above other films like it. A large portion of that blame goes to the screenplay. Just about every single line from this movie
is so corny that I’m baffled that Helgeland helped write “L.A. Confidential,” which had one of the most well-written scripts of the ’90s. We get a sense of how corny the dialogue is right away in the first scene with Ford. He is reading the newspaper and talking with some co-workers about how he wants to sign on an African-American to play in Major League Baseball. Ford says, “I’m gonna bring a negro to the major leagues. Everyone will think I’m crazy.” When meeting with Robinson to talk about how he was going to be treated in the Major Leagues, he says, “Like our Lord and Savior, you have to have the guts to turn the other cheek.” Robinson then replies, “You give me the uniform, you give me a number on my back, and I’ll get you the guts.” The movie is filled with this kind of corny, cliché-ridden dialogue, and I know that I’m not only in saying that if one were to view this and “L.A. Confidential” back-to-back, no one would make the connection that it was written by the same person. I guess it’s safe to assume that it was the other writer of that film, Curtis Hanson, that made it so great, because the script of “42” is not the work of a serious film writer. The story itself is so inspiring; dialogue like this degrades it on so many levels. Lastly, the subject of civil rights has become an increasingly more difficult to address on the big screen because it has been done over and over and over again. Therefore, unless the film approaches the subject from a different angle or with a certain amount of bite (a là“Precious”), it likely won’t have much of an impact. I liken how “42” confronts the issue of civil rights to that of a < See FILM REVIEW, page 7

‘n’ STYLE & BEAUTY It’s time to petcessorize! Grab your favorite furry family member and consider some of these fun options for your walk to the park. • Bandanas: An age-old posh pet classic, bandanas are still as adorable as ever, especially on younger puppies and kittens. The cliché red and black paisley is still going to get the most “aww!” reactions, but there are a variety of colors and styles that you can check out. For detailed instructions on how to tie bandanas, visit http://www.wikihow.com/Tiea-Bandana. • Shirts and sweaters: What could be cuter than a tiny bulldog with a red striped polo shirt on? Though typically reserved for smaller breeds of dogs and younger cats, shirts and sweaters can not only help keep your pet warm in cooler weather, but can take your pet from punk to preppy to diva at your will. An affordable variety of pet shirts in every style can be found at www.baxterboo. com. • Collars: For the less eccentric pet owner, the everyday petcessory of the collar can provide an opportunity to posh up your pet! By choosing a neon green collar, placing ribbons and pins on the collar or even
affixing individual craft letters to the collar to create customized messages, the collar can be both functional and fashionable. • Leg warmers: Have an ‘80s flashback with your furry friend! Leg warmers aren’t necessarily practical, but making your cat look like a tiny feline Madonna is oh so worth it. Rock your own side-ponytail while walking your pet and listen to your favorite ‘80s tunes! • Shoes!: Why should you get to rock bright-colored high top sneakers while your pet goes without? You can check out all the latest fashions in doggie footwear on www.alldogboots.com and outfit them with anything from doggie Ugg boots, Converse-style shoes and even leather sandals. • Nail polish: For the truly crazy pet owner, certain Petco and Petsmart locations offer pet nail polish services along with their more conventional grooming practices. They also offer small nail clips in various colors and finishes to cover pet nails, including clear glitter nails for cat claws. It’s a little too much for this columnist, but it’s really up to you – and your pet! Have fun, petcessorize and look great!

lobby were raving about the show he put on. “He was really good,” said Lucas Scott, a resident of Waterloo. “I’m not a huge fan of his, but my mother was and that’s why we came tonight. I really liked the harmonica player, he added an interesting dynamic to the band.” “He was great,” said Bonnie Elliot, a resident of Oelwein. “We have been big fans of his for 40 years, the guitar playing, the singing, everything. He doesn’t sound as good as he once did but he still sounds really good for 80.”

documentary on Jim Crow laws one would view in a high school social studies class. The only scene that does have that “bite” to it is when Phillies coach Ben Chapman (Alan Tudyk) comes out from the dugout and taunts Robinson, harassing him with nonstop usage of the n-word and other racial slurs. That scene clearly stood out; it sounded like it belonged to a different movie for a minute or two, and a much better one at that. With the exception of that one scene, “42” is just a textbook example
of how so many movies fail to effectively address one of the most barbaric and disgusting times in our nation’s history. “42” is a feel-good movie that tries way too hard to be feelgood. Screenwriters, directors and viewers should understand that cheesy dialogue and overthe-top music is not needed to tell a story like this. The life and accomplishments of Jackie Robinson is one of the great American stories, and while the intentions of the director and cast are, for the most part, admirable, handling it in this way belittles it and prevents what makes the story so inspiring from shining through.

UNI softball team sweeps Wichita State in rain-shortened weekend JACINDA RUGGLES Sports Writer
Amongst constant screams and cheers from Wichita State University, the University of Northern Iowa Panthers pulled off a rain-shortened weekend series against the Shockers. The Panthers (16-21, 6-6 MVC) swept the Shockers (15-22, 6-7 MVC) in games one and two with scores of 3-2 and 7-1. Sporting their pink shirts in support of breast cancer research and treatment for the game, the Panther softball team showed their support for team member Sam Reimer’s family. In game one, both teams went one, two, three in the first inning. In the bottom of the third inning, the Panthers scored first thanks to Julia Hunter’s RBI double. The Panthers kept their lead of one run until the Shockers scored a run in the top of the sixth inning. With the game tied in the bottom of the sixth, UNI’s Kristin Lock and Haley Kreiner tacked on runs of their own to give the Panthers a 3-1 advantage. The Shockers scored one more run in the top of the seventh before the game ended in a 3-2 victory.

Track and field finishes strong Panthers face battles at QB, RB positions in Jim Duncan Invitational MAT MEYER

Sophomore part-time hurdlers Paige Knodle and Sebastian Barth paved the way for the University of Northern Iowa track and field team as the Panthers traveled to Drake University to compete in the Jim Duncan Invitational over the weekend. Knodle participated in the 400-meter hurdles after setting the third-best time in the event last season. Knodle was able to keep her strong pace and finished first in the event with a new personal-best time of 59.75 seconds. On the men’s side, Barth was able to come away in first
place in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 14.11 seconds. The sophomore was able to put together a solid weekend with a fifth-place finish in the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.23 seconds. The two sophomores’ performances will put them in a great position to participate in the National Collegiate Athletic Association West Regionals, which will begin May 23 in Austin, Texas. The Panthers put together a solid outing in the women’s 800 meter by putting five different runners in the top 10 while four of them finished with personal bests in the event. Emily McCarthy finished
in second place with a new personal-best time of 2 minutes, 10.86 seconds to pave the way for the UNI runners. Her time was less than a second behind Illinois State University’s Kristen Zillmer’s first-place time of 2:9.99. McCarthy was followed closely by teammate Amber Clock, who finished with a personal-best 2:11.59, which was good enough for third place. Next in line was fourthplace finisher Alex Wilson with a personal-best time of 2:12.22 and seventh-place finisher Scotti Schon with a personal-best time of 2:13.85. Jordan Williams was able
The University of Northern Iowa football team’s spring practices are creating battles at some positions one might not expect. The Panthers’ practices have sparked position battles at the quarterback and running back spots. The starters at both positions, redshirt freshman Sawyer Kollmorgen at quarterback and redshirt sophomore David Johnson at running back, are returning. Kollmorgen was the Missouri Valley Football Conference Newcomer of the Year last season thanks to his 2,460 yards through the air and 21 passing touchdowns. “Sawyer has experience, great accuracy and great poise right now,” said football coach Mark Farley. “He’s got a lot of confidence because he’s played.” While Kollmorgen seems like the obvious choice to start this season, his fellow quarterbacks are opening coaches’ eyes as well. Redshirt sophomore Stephen Kaiser’s big arm is helping his case for playing time, but his lack of game experience

Game three was set for Sunday at noon, but due to poor weather conditions, the game was cancelled. The Panthers are set to play again Wednesday as they host Bradley University for a two-game series. The games will be held in Cedar Falls at Robinson-Dresser Field and Sports Complex.

to win the discus throw with a throw of 53.75 meters, which was four meters longer than second place. Williams is undefeated in the event for the season. All three Panthers in the women’s pole vault were able to take the top three finishes in the competition. Jenna Wexter led the way with a jump of 12 feet, 5 inches. Libby Torresani and Jennifer Roche sealed the UNI sweep by finishing in second and third place in the event. The Panthers wrapped up the Jim Duncan Invitational with great performances in the men’s and women’s 4x400 meter relays. The men’s team of Jesse Davenport, Jordan Guske, Sheldon Magee and Ryan Newtoff finished with a time of 3:15.47, a new personal best and a first-place finish. The women’s team of McCarthy, Maddie Beeler, Darian Thompson and Knodle finished with a personal-best time of 3:46.13, which was good enough for a secondplace finish. With the season quickly coming to a close, the Panthers head to the Redbird Spring Invitational in Normal, Ill., next weekend. Following this meet, UNI will head back to Drake to compete in the Drake Relays on April 24.

may be cause for some concern. “He just needs more reps to see if he can develop the poise and the confidence that creates leadership,” said Farley. True freshman Justin Black is in the same situation as Kaiser, as they are fighting for both the backup spot and potentially the starting position. “Justin Black is a true freshman and is in his first spring with us. He just needs to get his reps in so he can start building,” said Farley. “All three are in different phases of their career right now, but they all have great talent.”
Johnson is coming off a season where he rushed for over 1,000 yards and ran for 13 touchdowns while also catching five touchdowns. Sophomore running back Evan Williams’s running style is slightly different from Johnson’s, and their styles may give the Panthers a strong one-two punch in the backfield. “Evan is probably going to be a little more elusive, a little quicker,” said Farley. “Time is going to tell how we can use those two together.” Regardless of the competition at these key positions for the Panthers, it will be difficult for the coaches to pick against the emerging tandem of Kollmorgen and Johnson.
