Nestled in the rolling plains just west of Hudson, Iowa, sits Hansen’s Dairy Farm, a family-owned producer of high-quality milk, cheese curds, ice cream and other dairy products. Hansen’s is responsible for supplying the milk, cream and other dairy items that are used at Chats and Prexy’s in Maucker Union as part of the University of Northern Iowa’s Buy Fresh, Buy Local campaign. Hansen’s Dairy Farm is a century farm in its fifth generation of ownership. Jay and Jeanne Hansen own the farm but their sons Brent, Brad, Blair and Blake manage its day-to-day operations.

Brent Hansen is in charge of the marketing, product distribution and public relations aspect of farm operations while Brad handles production of the 26 different flavors of ice cream that Hansen’s sells. Blair directs field work and Blake deals with livestock management. The entire operation has 45 employees, between the farm and two retail locations, one in Cedar Falls and one in Waterloo, Iowa. The Hansens own approximately 300 head of cattle, 150 of which are dairy cows. The family has meticulously tracked the genetic lineage of their cattle all the way back to the first cows they owned in the 1950s. In addition, they name every cow they own. “That way if there is ever a

problem, we have everything recorded and registered,” said Brent Hansen. The family allows their cows to roam free, giving them 60 days a year off from milking and feeding them high-quality, long-fiber hay. The Hansens feel the extra consideration they give their cattle compared to competing dairy farmers lowers the stress the cows face and improves the quality of milk they produce. “You take the common sense of life and apply it to them,” Brent Hansen said. Female cattle are given their mother’s milk to strengthen their immune systems before receiving the milk from all cattle on the farm. They are kept in huts with large cages that allow them to move around and interact with the other newborn calves. The milking parlor at Hansen’s Dairy is a mechanical marvel, allowing 16 cows to be milked at once. Once the milk is in the system, it is immediately lowered in temperature from 100 degrees to 60 degrees, and then cooled further to 38 degrees in a separate cooler. “The sooner it is cooled, the better it is,” Brent Hansen explained. < See DAIRY, page 2

A day after the Boston Marathon attack, Cedar Falls Public Works employees found a pipe bomb in a storm drain by 2300 Royal Drive while working on clearing the storm drain. “We’re all thinking about Boston,” said Cedar Falls Chief of Police Jeff Olson. “But we’re going to do some checking, and again, this could have been here for a long time or it may not be, but we < See BOMB, page 2

From there it is pasteurized. Pasteurization involves heating the milk to 160 degrees to kill bacterial colonies and reduce the rate at which the milk spoils. It then runs through different separators that pull products such as cream and butterfat out of the milk. Human hands never touch the milk or the lips of the bottles during the entire production process because the milk itself is mechanically bottled. Brent Hansen also noted that there are two points to remember about the milk from Hansen’s Dairy. The first is that it is not homogenized and therefore needs to be shaken before it is poured into your glass or cereal. Homogenization is the process of pulverizing the fat in the milk by not being homogenized, the milk is far less likely to cause adverse reactions in humans. “Eighty to 90 percent, of the time, if you think you are lactose intolerant, try nonhomogenized milk,” Brent Hansen said. “Most people who think they are lactose

intolerant are able to drink our milk because it is not homogenized.” The second key point about Hansen’s milk is its low bacterial content, which dramatically changes the flavor of the milk. “In Iowa, there can be 100,000 colonies per (cubic centimeter) of milk, (and) 300,000 if that milk is comingled,” said Brent. “When our milk is tested by the state, it comes up with 1,000 colonies per CC, the minimum that the state reports.” The low amount of bacteria causes the milk to be sweeter because there are few bacteria

competing to consume sugar in the milk. Hansen’s produces 1,2000 gallons of milk per day. However, the Hansens do not regret keeping their operations small. “We produce a living, breathing product, and maybe bigger isn’t better,” said Brent Hansen. Because it’s a family business, keeping his two children close to watch his work is one of Brent Hansen’s favorite parts. “We can give our kids the opportunity to work alongside us,” he said. “Normally kids have no idea what their parents do, but here they have the ability to work with us.” Hansen’s Dairy Farm is open to visitors from the spring through the fall. Yearround, however it attempts to show Cedar Valley residents and UNI students the importance of investing locally. “It’s a very unique product that isn’t found everywhere, and the students are only here for a short time,” Brent Hansen said. “Students should branch out and learn as much as they can about the area. We want them to come back.”

of autism awareness for students on campus. Alpha Xi Delta has directed its philanthropic support toward Autism Speaks in universities around the country. Morgan Judd, junior elementary education major and vice president of UNI’s chapter of Alpha Xi Delta, said she hopes the blue lighting on the campanile will remind students about autism. “This is the first time we’ve been able to have the Campanile lit blue,” Judd said. “Our chapter is really excited about it, and we’ve been reaching out to others to let them

know why it’s lit up blue.” Not only has the Campanile been illuminated, but different chapter houses have also changed the light bulbs on their porches to blue ones. In the three years since Alpha Xi Delta first partnered with Autism Speaks, the nationwide sorority has raised more than $1 million for the organization. “We work really hard to be better women and to contribute to our campus and maintain strong academics while giving back to our community,” Judd said.

The Community United Child Care on Seerley Boulevard was placed on lockdown, but parents were able to pick their children up. Police are currently unsure of when the bomb was placed or who placed it. The pipe bomb was a mix of metal and PVC. Alyssa McKillip, senior criminology major, lives by the Main Street area and said she still feels safe but the situation is “kind of strange and weird and unsettling.”

Just break up already! DAVID POPE poped @uni.edu

It’s not me; it’s you. You’ve been holding onto that relationship for too long. You’ve been denying your deepest feelings and making excuses for your emotions. You’ve been avoidant, distant, resentful, unhappy. I know because I’ve been there. The sad truth is, relationships sometimes run their course, and you are forced to choose between holding on and letting go. Let go. Break up already! I know that it hurts, whether it’s your romantic partner, an old friend or even a family member who doesn’t understand why you only call them back grudgingly. It hurts to realize what was once beautiful and meaningful no longer is, or that what once was positive is now negative or even perhaps that what you thought was one thing turned out to be something else. We all have storybook clichés and Hollywood archetypes of happily-ever-after lodged in our heads, and anything less than that seems like failure. But it isn’t. It isn’t a sign of failure to admit the truth. It isn’t a sign of weakness to let someone go. So many of us have been taught that it’s somehow cruel to not be someone’s friend, but is it not far more cruel to keep someone hanging on when your heart isn’t in it? Letting go doesn’t have to be out of anger, hatred or rejection. On the contrary, breaking up can be – should be – an act of compassion and surrender to truth. In my own life, I’ve hurt people by holding on halfheartedly out of obligation, tradition or fear of being alone. But in my inability or unwillingness to listen to my inner voice and admit that these relationships weren’t working – or that I had no desire for these relationships to remain in my life – I held another person and myself hostage. I did more harm by pretending and hoping that things would improve when I knew they wouldn’t than I have ever done by breaking up. Staying in a relationship of

any kind that you don’t truly want to be in leads to resentment, anger and frustration. Your feelings get released in passive-aggressive ways like backstabbing, subtle jabs and hotand-cold emotions. This can continue indefinitely, or until your pent-up emotions blow up in the worst kind of hateful breakup. When we refuse to let go of people who are hurting us, whom we dislike or whom we simply no longer click with, our friends become our frenemies and our social groups become full of people we resent and secretly wish to undermine. How can you ever learn, grow and move forward if you have so much heavy baggage pulling you backward? Honesty isn’t cruelty. Telling the truth – to yourself that the relationship isn’t working and to them so they too can let go – will set both of you free. There need be no drama, no anger and no grudges held.

“

How can you ever learn, grow and move forward if you have so much heavy baggage pulling you backward?

”

There is a certain peace that comes with truly letting go of someone not because you wish them ill, but because you realize they don’t play a meaningful or positive part in your life. It’s difficult admitting that we would be better off without certain people in our lives, or that they may be better off without us in theirs. It feels like there must be hatred attached, bitterness, that it’s mean. But sometimes whatever else it is, and as unfair as it is, it is simply fact. The completely understandable knee-jerk reaction to being broken up with is pain, anger and rejection. Why don’t you want me? It doesn’t feel good; it isn’t fair, but it’s better. Better than

keeping someone hanging in your life indefinitely while ignoring the way you really feel. Better than making your relationship a living hell, a guessing game or a tug-of-war. I’m not suggesting you disengage from anyone who has ever wronged you, or that you let go at the first sign of trouble. All relationships have their ups and downs, and there are some worthwhile relationships that take an incredible amount of work to maintain. This is just my hard-won advice, advice I want to share because it in turn was shared with me. In the midst of a relationship that wasn’t working, a very wise individual looked me in the eyes and told me, “I think you know what you want to do.” They were right. I did know, but it took their blunt compassion for me to realize I’d been avoiding my own truth. I started crying immediately after that statement, and I broke up with my then-boyfriend only a few days later. It was the push I needed to realize that I needed to break up already. There is no hatred in admitting that a relationship isn’t working or isn’t good for you. That is not cruelty. I have ended relationships and had my relationships end in angry outbursts or rash choices – but know that it is possible to deeply love someone even while breaking up with them. In fact, breaking up in its purest form is an act of love. It is an act of love toward yourself for recognizing what you need, toward the other person for wanting them to also be free and toward the relationship for wanting it to run its natural course. So let it run its natural course. Let go. Break up already! Editor’s note: David’s column addresses normal relationships that do not put either party in danger.

VOLUME 109, ISSUE 50

LETTERS April 10 senate meeting disappointing The scene that took place April 10 during the Northern Iowa Student Government Senate meeting is both disappointing and discouraging to students looking to become more involved at the University of Northern Iowa. A procedure of checks and balances between the executive branch and senate devolved into what can only be described as an active pursuit of personal agenda from the senate. Two very qualified individuals were denied positions as executive directors under newly elected President and Vice President Tom Madsen and Blake Findley. Nothing in the questioning of Beth Monnier and Elijah Seay revealed any ineptitude to fulfill their prospective roles. Instead, what became apparent from the nature of the interrogations was an agenda of conceited malevolence toward the incoming party. While it is understandable that a long campaign and close election have left more than a few with conflicting emotions, there is no excuse for the lack of professionalism displayed by NISG senate on Wednesday. My understanding of the role of student government is to act as a proxy for their constituents and to act in their favor accordingly. The decision to reject these two appointees was not a matter of concern for the students of UNI, but of spite and malice. As someone who has been hoping to become more involved in activities on campus, I find this especially troubling. Is this really an institution someone would want to participate in? One that is more of an obstacle of self-serving politics

than a voice of the students? I certainly don’t think I would be alone in entertaining this opinion. This meeting has set the tone for the coming year, and unfortunately it is one of uncooperative, uncompromising individualism. I am hopeful that this will prove to be a lapse in judgment on behalf of the senate, but time will tell. I also hope that the candidates recognize these events as a reflection of the attitudes of our senators rather than that of their own ability. They are as deserving of these positions as any cabinet appointees before them. Anthony Spoerl Sophomore, computer science

Paired kidney exchanges save lives I want to say thank you to Beth Monnier for writing about paired kidney exchanges (“Legalize the Cure,” April 9, 2013). This is an important topic that people should know about, and I am personally affected by it. My mother (and several other family members, maybe even myself) has polycystic kidney disease, a genetic disorder that gradually causes the kidneys’ functioning to fail. My mother was on dialysis for five years before she found a donor match through a paired exchange. Without this paired exchange, my mom may have never received a kidney. I hope that more people will decide to become organ donors and help save the lives of thousands of more people like my mom. Brittney Baxter

UNI speech team places 10th in nation for 2nd consecutive year KIRSTEN TJOSSEM Staff Writer

The University of Northern Iowa Speech team worked hard at the American Forensics AssociationNational Individual Events Tournament in Hutchinson, Kan., earning a 10th-place finish nationally for the second year in a row. A total of 78 teams compete in the tournament. “This team is almost completely different than it was four years ago. Every year since my freshman year the team has gotten bigger, qualified for more events and put up better results than the year before. It’s been amazing to be a part of that,” said Harrison Postler, senior communication studies major. There are two different ways for a person to qualify for the tournament. The most common is an at-large qualification, which is calculated by adding up the placements

at three different tournaments throughout the season. That number must be eight or lower. A person can also qualify by becoming one of the top three or four people in an event at the districts tournament, which consists of people who haven’t already qualified. Postler found individual success at this year’s tournament. He was the champion in Impromptu Speaking, becoming the first event champion for UNI at AFA-NIET since 1988. “It’s the culmination of a decade of practice, but it’s also something that I was prepared to not experience. Plenty of very talented individuals don’t win a national championship, so I’m still in the process of sorting out my own worthiness,” said Postler. He was also second in Dramatic Interpretation and a semifinalist in After Dinner Speaking. This earned him an overall placement of sixth

out of 198 in Individual Sweepstakes. For both Postler and junior Zoe Russell, speech was something they became involved with in high school and wanted to continue in college. “The past three years I have been on the team have been some of the best years of my life. I’ve met so many people, traveled across the country and learned so much,” said Russell, a communication studies major. “Speech provides you with so many opportunities and memories, and you make some really incredible friendships.” After the success of the team as a whole at the tournament, Russell is excited to see what’s in store for the speech team during her final year at UNI. “I was really excited to see so many people on our team qualify for nationals, because it is really encouraging for the future of our team. It was incredible to place 10th

relationship advice

How much contact is too much contact during the flirting stage of a potential relationship? How do I know when I’ve crossed the line from flirty to annoying? He said:

Let me just say right off the bat that relationships in general are like choose-youradventure books. Half the time, whatever choice you made was wrong because not only are they like chooseyour-adventure books, they’re books that reset every day. In other words: completely unpredictable. On top of that, every single person is different when it comes to physical contact or flirtatious behavior. Some people, like myself, are very physical. It’s a demonstration of caring and that you’re there for that person. Other people could give Monk a run for his money on not wanting to be touched. For whatever reason (not speaking biased at all here) it creeps some people out and

your demonstration of care could come off as being just plain weird. Obviously that can be frustrating. In the building stages of the relationship, touching and flirting is usually allowed beyond the point of the norm, which makes it even harder to gauge. Let’s be honest, most to none of us act like our real selves during the beginning of the relationship, which can give some false perspective on comfort levels. Curse the fabled “honeymoon stage” of relationships. The best thing you can do is cause and effect experimentation. If you do something that seems to be positive, you know you aren’t crossing the line. If you get that passiveaggressive wince at something you do or they move your hand from the current position it’s in, chances are you crossed some kind of line in their mind. Take it from someone who’s been called a creep, annoying, weird, too touchy and clingy as a result of physical touch: It’s different for

everyone. As I said earlier, it’s all cause and effect. Once you discover both of your comfort zones, you can blend them together and live in perfect harmony.

She said:

The frustrating part about new relationships or flings is constantly evaluating yourself, stressing out about whether or not you’re saying and doing the right things, etc. The only way we can find comfort in this is knowing that everyone does it. We all second-guess ourselves and wonder what’s too much or what’s not enough, especially when it comes to someone we’re interested in. That being said, chances are they’re having the same concerns. If you’ve been lucky enough to have found someone you can be completely open with, you can always opt for straight-up asking the person if you’re coming on too strong or what they feel the boundaries should be. I wish more people were like this.

Personally, I hate the games people play when it comes to relationships. I’d rather be in a situation where both people had a mutual understanding and open communication – that way the second-guessing is kept to a minimum. However, I realize that there is a point in a relationship where it’s just too early to openly discuss those things. If you’re at this stage, my suggestion would be to try not to come on too strong, especially at the beginning. I know I said I hate the game, but the hard truth is that it’s (at least temporarily) inevitable. You’ve got to back off a little to gauge where the other person is at. I think that when you’re at the initial flirting stages, where both of you know the other one is interested and there’s an underlying attraction, too much communication would be communicating every day, unless you had a class with that person or work with them. By this I mean don’t overdo it with the texting. Leave some room for

suspense. Like I said, it’s all a part of the game. Real-life communication, however, should happen a lot at this stage. It’s the flirting stage, so of course you want to spend time talking and getting to know each other — it’s the best part! Hopefully you have a class or two together or some mutual friends so that you can spend time outside of school studying together or hanging out on the weekends. Indications that you’ve crossed the line a little or are too overbearing would be if they start to pull away or distance themselves. You just have to judge it all based on their actions, and you should be able to tell whether or not they want you to keep talking to them. If they’re not responding to your texts or don’t make an effort to talk to you then it’s probably a good indication of them not being interested. But like I said, you should be able to tell. Trust your instinct if nothing else.

MAIN STREET

Fun and discounts put the ‘O’ in WOW KIRSTEN TJOSSEM Staff Writer

Women’s Outrageous Weekend, held April 26 and 27, will kick things up a notch on Main Street, giving its participants an entire weekend of shopping fun in downtown Cedar Falls. “We have our Girl’s Night Out, which is just a nighttime event. But that’s on a Thursday, so it’s hard for the people out of town to come in on a Thursday night after work,” said Emily Yaddof, associate events and promotions coordinator for Cedar Falls Community Main Street and member of the WOW committee. The weekend-long event starts with an opening reception at Luna Art + Wine from 5:30-7 p.m. Friday, April 26. A new addition to WOW this year is the fashion show, which will be held Saturday morning at the Cedar Falls Community Center and includes a light breakfast provided by Cup of Joe. All outfits from the fashion show will be available for purchase at downtown businesses. Also new to this year’s event is a free makeover that will be drawn at the fashion show and revealed at the closing reception Saturday evening at The Pump Haus. The makeover includes a cut, color and makeup from Kate’s on Main as well as a new outfit from Jennifer’s on Main and

Spotlight Style Boutique & Salon. “It’s a really good awareness event for the retailers. It gets the women down here. The point is for them to have a good time and enjoy themselves and want to come back, not just for events, but to spend time downtown,” said Yaddof. Julie Shimek, co-owner of Main Street businesses Luna Art + Wine, Vintage Iron and Pursuing Picasso, was one of the WOW committee members during its first year, when it was still called It’s a Girl Thing. Over the years, Shimek has seen both business participation and attendance grow. This year, one goal of the committee is to see a higher turnout among college students. From the discounts to the fashion show and wine tasting, Shimek believes that there’s nothing about WOW that younger women won’t like. “It’s getting towards the end of the school year. It’s time to invite Mom and your sisters to come in before you leave school and just have some together time with the girls,” she said. Registration is $25 for a VIP ticket, which provides access to all of the weekend events and discounts.

WOMEN’S GOLF

UNI women’s golf team takes 2nd in Creighton Classic matchup ALEX MILLER Sports Writer

The University of Northern Iowa women’s golf team did all they could to hold on to first place but ultimately slipped into second place as the Panthers claimed silver at the Creighton Classic earlier this week. Despite finishing in second place, UNI managed to have four golfers place in the top 20 of the tournament. Kaylee Benson’s tworound 154 and a tie for second place led the Panthers individually. Benson managed her best finish of the year with a tournament-best six birdies in a competition that featured one of UNI’s fiercest rivals. Right behind Benson on the leaderboard for the Panthers was Sarah Boss, whose two-round 155 put her in a tie for third place. With four birdies in the tournament alongside 18 pars, Boss undoubtedly had one of her best results of the season. Alex Zenor, who was next on the scorecard, finished with a 79 in the final round of play Tuesday to capture a tie for seventh place individu-

ally. Second in the tournament with 22 pars, Zenor kept her eye on staying at even par until the end. Despite shooting a seven-over par, Zenor’s strong finish helped the Panthers finish atop the leaderboards in nearly every category.

Next for UNI was Amanda Braun, who started off the event hot with a 77 on the first day but struggled as she shot an 87 in the second round of play, which dropped her to a tie for 15th place on the individual leaderboard. Right behind Braun on the

OPINION

scorecard for UNI was Sonja Przybylski, who only competed individually and finished in a tie for 38th place. Also competing solo was Sara Pettitt, whose first-round 88 placed her in a tie for 59th. The last player to compete on the team for the Panthers

was Taylor VanDyke, who ended the tournament with an 85 in the final round of play to settle for a tie for 40th place. With only one event left in the year, the Panthers will compete in the Missouri Valley Conference next week.

SOFTBALL

More names mean more revenue UNI softball game vs. Bradley postponed SEAN DENGLER

Sports Columnist

Imagine the announcer saying, “Inside the Scratch Cupcakery Dome, it is calm with a temperature of 75 degrees” or, “The Panthers defeated the Aces in The Other Place Center with a score of 66-55.” It would be very different from hearing the typical words of the UNI-Dome or McLeod Center announcer, but it is also highly essential for the University of Northern Iowa. These names could bring in a new source of revenue for UNI. If UNI were to sell the naming rights of their athletic complexes, it could help make up for the money they take from the general education fund every year. It is a little tough to envi-

sion a public university selling naming rights to a private businesses, but times have changed. The naming rights are simply untapped resources that could provide in a new revenue source for UNI. Iowa State University has the Pioneer symbol on their court and the University of Iowa’s court is referred to as Mediacom Court. Obviously, the other state universities in Iowa have jumped on the ball about naming rights; UNI needs to start doing the same. Another option for a steady revenue source for the Panthers would be to sell the naming rights on jerseys in each sport. Professional soccer teams do this and the National Basketball Association even considered doing it before franchises were valued at over

$250 million. This would be drastic and highly controversial, but the move could prove lucrative for UNI. By doing this, the Panthers could sell each athletic sport differently so they would be able to bring in the maximum amount of revenue possible. UNI would not be “selling out” by doing this because this is what is required in the 21st century for a school with Division-I athletics. Money is not easy to come by, and UNI always has a financial strain on its budget year in and year out. Therefore, the Panthers need to find a fixed revenue source in private businesses. Selling the naming rights only makes sense for UNI.

JAKE BEMIS Sports Editor

For the third time this season, mother nature has forced the University of Northern Iowa to cancel a regular-season matchup. The Panthers were scheduled to play Bradley University Wednesday, but due to rain, the game has been postponed. The series will now be played Tuesday, April 23. The two teams will make up game three of the series April 30 when the Panthers travel to Peoria, Ill. Earlier this season, UNI canceled games against the University of Wisconsin and Iowa State University. UNI announced on Wednesday that the series

against ISU, originally scheduled for April 3, will be made up on May 2. The Panthers will return to action Saturday when they host Indiana State University. The Sycamores currently have a record of 14-27 and are 3-12 in the Missouri Valley Conference. “It’s a really important weekend for us as far as putting ourselves in a good position in the league,” softball coach Ryan Jacobs said Monday. “Things are starting to shake up in the league, so this is a really important week for us.” First pitch for Saturday’s game is set for 12 p.m. Game two will be played at approximately 2 p.m. and game three is scheduled for Sunday at 12 p.m.
