UNI student named Iowa Student Employee of the Year JOHN ANDERSON
Executive Editor
In addition to being named the University of Northern Iowa Student Employee of the Year, Darion Watson became the first UNI student to be recognized as the State of Iowa Student Employee of the Year by the Midwest Association of Student Employment Administrators. Watson, a senior communications major and resident assistant in Dancer Hall, was very humbled to receive the awards. “It’s been an honor to represent the university, especially because it’s the first time someone from UNI has received the award,” Watson said. Dancer Hall Residence Life Coordinator Amy Mesirow, who nominated Watson for the award, finds it difficult to find one thing
to say about Watson “because he’s just so amazing.”
“
His personal integrity and drive (are) unparalleled. He’s a very humble individual, and I know that he does what he does because it’s the right thing to do, so it’s wonderful to have that recognized and amazing to have that recognized across the state as well. Amy Mesirow Dancer Hall RLC
“He’s built really strong communities, really good relationships with the men in his house, has really set a standard for our RA
staff – kind of set the bar high and helped other RAs reach that standard as well,” Mesirow said. Mesirow described the strong personal character Watson demonstrated as not only an RA but as a member of the Student Admissions Ambassadors and as the co-founder of the Black Male Leaders Union. “His personal integrity and drive (are) unparalleled,” she said. “He’s a very humble individual, and I know that he does what he does because it’s the right thing to do, so it’s wonderful to have that recognized and amazing to have that recognized across the state as well,” Mesirow said. Watson, who was also awarded the prestigious Lux Award this spring, described his “great” experience on campus as a See WATSON, page 2

The school year is drawing to a close, and so is Financial Literacy Month at the University of Northern Iowa. As summer approaches, some students who are graduating may be anticipating the repayment of their student loans. Others may be preparing to enter a new lease for an apartment. Still others may face underemployment and try to fill in the gaps in their expenses by charging necessary items. All these things can affect credit, and Tim Bakula says it’s important to stay in the know. “All of the stuff that you’re doing now, financially, will follow you. It’s something a lot of students don’t think about, but it is important to keep in mind,” said Bakula, associate director of customer service and outreach in the UNI Financial Aid office.

Bakula says some people get a report from one agency at a time every four months or so. “You (can) get one from each of those three on a revolving basis, so you’re not just getting one snapshot in time at (that time of) year,” he said.

Kira Sabin offers life and dating advice By CASSANDRA HAYNE Staff Writer
She’s not your mother, and she’s certainly not your grandmother. She’s Kira Sabin, certified life coach and dating makeover coach. She doesn’t claim to be the next Hitch or Patti Stanger from Millionaire Matchmaker, but the message she brought to a group of University of Northern Iowa students Monday night was packed full of insightful and advice. “It’s all about you! You’re half the relationship,” she said to a largely female audience. Sabin was invited to speak by Her Campus UNI. During her presentation, “Five Easy Ways to Get Off the Crazy Train,” Sabin’s bubbly personality kept the audience laughing throughout. She said the “crazy train” is when both parties are in the goofy, smitten phase of their relationship and then “Boom! Something happens are you’re left at the ‘train station’ and you don’t know what happened,” Sabin said. Sabin’s “5 Easy Ways to Get Off the Crazy Train” are: 5. Love technology, but don’t use it for love. If you won’t say it in person, don’t tweet, text or Facebook it. Another major point of hers was to “stop cyber stalking.”

4. Build a love-life support team. Grab a great wing woman, an awesome listener and a “rainbow brite” to help you along the way. She pointed out that many men lack
this support system, so “they really have it tough.” 3. Check your mindset. “Are you already in the relationship before you know him?” Sabin asked. Again, she
reiterated the importance of getting to know one another outside the means of technology. Another point made was that women need to check their mindsets to decide what
they really want. Most importantly, don’t allow yourself to go into honeymoon mode and ignore all the signs that he’s not a good fit for you. “Witty See DATING ADVICE, page 4
‘Water for Elephants’ combines love, history and drama By EMILY HEYER Film Critic
All good things must come to an end, and the end is where “Water for Elephants” begins. Jacob Jankowski, 93, tells the tale of his time working for the Benzini Brothers Circus in 1931 at the height, and end, of its career. “I was right in the middle of it,” he says – and he was. Young Jacob, played by Robert Pattinson (“Twilight”) is finishing his last final for veterinary science at Cornell when his parents are killed in a car accident. With no money and no home (it is the Depression, after all) he leaves town, and eventually makes his way onto the circus train. Helped by some loveable circus characters, he is hired as the circus veterinarian by the powerful and cruel ringmaster, August Rosenbluth (Christoph Waltz, “Inglorious Basterds”). While working with the animals, he meets and eventually falls for Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), star of the show and the boss’s wife. With the addition of the beautiful elephant
Rosie, the story escalates. Based on the bestselling novel by Sara Gruen, this adapted screenplay by Richard LaGravenese (“P.S. I Love You”) provides as much close-to-thebook spectacle as one could hope for. It is a rich coming-of-age tale with romance and a behind-the-scenes look at a circus in 1931. Although we see some of the shadier sides of the circus, it is still Hollywood and still romanticized. But, as most have come to expect that, we can suspend our disbelief long enough to truly enjoy it. The most enjoyable aspect of the film is Tai, the Indian elephant playing Rosie, the gentle and intelligent creature that brings Jacob and Marlena together. It is truly beautiful to watch, and with the addition of Witherspoon as the main attraction atop Rosie, the spectacle doesn’t fall short. Tai is such an onscreen talent that she even manages to put life and chemistry into the relationship between Witherspoon and Pattinson. With “Twilight” being Robert Pattinson’s claim to Hollywood fame, this casting decision is ques-
tionable (especially considering some of the other, and I daresay more talented, actors who also auditioned for the role). Although Pattinson did do a surprisingly decent job as the young Jacob, his chemistry with Witherspoon is practically nonexistent. Witherspoon’s charm and talent make up for this, and so despite
everything, their love is surprisingly believable. In the worst parts of the film, Waltz’s Ringleader August shines. He is a cruel and abusive man, often taking out his anger on the animals of the circus. They are scenes that will make even animal haters cringe, and See WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, page 4

banter is fun, but do you want a relationship built on it?” Sabin asked. 2. It’s all about timing. Know yourself – are you actually ready for a relationship and is he? “All you can do is go into it and be awesome, try to get that wall down, but all you can do is be you!” she said. 1. Respect yourself. It’s all about you. Start with happiness, and regardless of your personal morals, keep those panties on the first night together if you’re looking for more than a hookup. Questions and answers followed the talk with free tips provided to many students who asked for situation advice about long distance relationships, technology and “how to spot a player versus a guy who’s just nervous.” Sabin’s speech and advice left the audience buzzing. One student asked how she got started with her business.

After watching the show “Date Patrol” years ago in which she saw a young man undergo a significant behavioral transformation (from nervous to confident), Sabin realized that she knew tons of people that could benefit from the same help. After traveling around on cruise ships for awhile, she became a certified life coach and started helping people recognize their own problems not only by listening, but also by asking questions that help people (both men and women) discover what’s really holding their love lives back. It was a little more than a year ago that she realized her true demographic of calling – college students. “It’s not easy, and it’s not like the movies,” she said, and noted that college students are “creating a new path” with the development of technology.

With a climactic scene that is both breathtaking and suspenseful, the story ends, and old Jacob is back, asking for a job at the circus, or as he says – home. It is a pleasant end to a dazzling tale. While not the best movie of the year, it is an amazing spectacle of a heartfelt and powerful story – one you will not be sorry to see.

Man who let dogs out captured, public hanging set for Tuesday evening SNABBLE FLAGELTAN
Staff Writer
After nearly 10 years of mystery and worldwide frustration, the answer to the question, ‘who let the dogs out?’ was finally discovered Thursday. According to a statement released by the Pentagon, Luke Richards, a 26-year-old banker from Kansas City, Mo, was captured near the southeast border of Afghanistan as a United States Special Operations Forces unit raided his secret bunker. Richards went missing from his Kansas City apartment last November. His whereabouts remained unknown until Monday. The Pentagon’s report stated that the Central Intelligence Agency had been building up a case against Richards since June 2010 and finally gave special forces the go-ahead to hunt him down earlier this month. “There is no doubt that this man let the dogs out,” said CIA Media Relations Director Stephan Hengst. Hengst went on to explain that Richards had fled to Afghanistan once he discovered that he was being investigated. “We are not entirely sure why he chose to hide there, but the important part is that he is no longer a threat to the people of this planet,” Hengst said. In a press conference, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates added to that sentiment, stating that he has never been more proud to be an American. “This is monumental proof that what we are doing in the Middle East is noble and just,” said Gates.

President Barack Obama officially announced the news of Richards’ capture to the world via television broadcast Monday morning. “Today, America, Afghanistan and the rest of the world can forget their strife and their differences and come together as one to celebrate this landmark of justice,” said Obama in his statement. Obama met with members of Congress and the Supreme Court that same afternoon to discuss an immediate and permanent consequence for Richards. Hours later, Obama interrupted broadcast television transmissions once again to inform the nation that Richards’ right to a trial had been waived. “America must send a clear message to the world. This man committed an unthinkable crime against humanity, and he must be made an example,” Obama said. Richards is subject to the United States’ first public hanging since 1936. The execution will take place Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. CDT at Madison Square Garden in New York

FOX has also announced that it has gained exclusive broadcast rights and will be airing the event live with coverage beginning at 8:30 p.m., following an all-new 90-minute episode of Glee. A pre-execution concert featuring the Grammy Awardwinning group Baha Men will commence the evening activities. Their 2000 single, “Who Let The Dogs Out,” although popular, remained vastly misunderstood by the general public until nearly a year ago when Baha Men teamed up with a newly-formed U.S. federal coalition to promote their political cause. The Dogs Are Still Out released a series of television and radio spots,
igniting a public outcry and demanding that the one who let the dogs out be captured and brought to justice. “We have been waiting for this day to come for over a decade. The emotional and political essence of our anthem, ‘Who Let The Dogs Out,’ has finally come to fruition,” said lead vocalist Rik Carey. Baha Men announced that their set for the execution will be comprised of an hourlong opera that will fuse the dramatic story of Richards’ actions and eventual capture with their signature Caribbean hip-hop sound. “It’s going to be a joyous event, and we’re going to celebrate it how only Baha Men know how to celebrate. Woof ! Woof ! Woof-woof !” exclaimed Baha Men member Dyson Knight as he gave a ‘raise the roof ’ gesture. Richards is expected to
arrive at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp this afternoon. He will remain there until Tuesday afternoon, when he will be flown to an undisclosed airstrip outside of New York City. A parade/ public humiliation demonstration will precede Richards’ arrival at Madison Square Garden. Donald Trump announced that he is trying to coordinate an effort with Marc Inc., the parent company of Pedigree, that would supply parade attendees with free dog biscuits to toss at Richards’ float. “I would imagine that many of the canines that were released from that Bahamian Doggy Day Care starved to death as a result of Richards’ heinous crime,” Trump stated. “It’s only fitting that this coward be showered with Jumbone Mega Chew, provided by the great people at Pedigree.”

Thank you
This has been quite a growing year for the Northern Iowan. We started the year off with a new logo and a lot of hesitation in our work. We stumbled a bit; we made mistakes (though none perhaps worse than that “Bob Dylan” photo). When I look at how far we have come as a newspaper since then, I almost cannot believe how much it has improved. This year we’ve championed efforts to support higher education in our state legislature and helped inform students during the fall elections. We called out a stagnant Northern Iowa Student Government and led efforts to connect students to their representatives. We’ve covered major campus issues and events from the untimely death of a beloved student to the academic, athletic and extracurricular triumphs of our Panthers, all while giving students a medium in which to speak out about issues important to them. This year we utilized every medium at our disposal to reach students, including our revitalized website, Facebook, Twitter, our elections blog, live video coverage and online PDFs of our print edition. We hosted a debate between the candidates for student body president and vice president that was later available online so that students could make an informed decision in the NISG elections. It has been an incredible year of growth for our student-produced newspaper. Traditionally, Northern Iowan editorials reflect the opinions of the entire editorial staff. Not this time. This editorial reflects my opinion as Executive Editor, because there are some very important people who deserve thanks for those achievements mentioned above. First and foremost, I would like to thank the rest of the Northern Iowan editorial staff. Our graduating Features Editor, Cassie Tegeler, has held that position for two years and demonstrated a high degree of leadership, talent and a keen eye for detail as she strove to bring to light the outstanding students on our campus. Our outgoing News Editor, Leah Jeffries, has demonstrated tremendous growth since she first stepped into the position, consistently creating a strong and informative news section that communicated important news to students every issue. I feel the Northern Iowan has never looked better, and this can certainly be attributed to the incredible work of our talented photographers, none moreso than our graduating Photo Editor,
Anna Schreck. Anna’s demonstrated a great attention to detail and an optimistic desire to both teach and learn this year, and created one my favorite additions to the newspaper, “I Spy at UNI.” We are very fortunate to have our Sports Editor, Brad Eilers, and our Copy Editor, Kari Braumann, returning next fall. These two have exhibited more initiative than just about anyone else on our staff as they strove to do everything in their power to improve the paper, often taking on several stories to ensure that important campus events were covered. Of course, the Northern Iowan would be nothing without its dedicated writing and photography staff, who take countless hours out of their day to provide coverage of important campus issues, events and opinions to students every week. I have seen them improve immensely over the course of this year, and their zeal for serving the newspaper and the university is truly amazing. I would also like to thank Student Body President Emeritus Joel Anderson and NISG for strongly supporting and working with or responding to the Northern Iowan this year and for working tirelessly to represent students to legislators, regents, administrators, faculty and staff in light of looming budget cuts. My gratitude also goes out to the university’s administration, faculty, staff and students for the integral services they provide to the university and for working with us as we continually work to benefit UNI students despite busy schedules and looming deadlines. But nobody deserves greater thanks than you, our readers. We exist for you and we exist because of you. It is my hope that we have connected you to the opportunities and individuals of this great university and instilled in you habits of seeking to be informed citizens for the rest of your lives. I encourage you all to give everything you can to UNI during your time here and to never hesitate to give us feedback so that we may continue to improve. If you ever have any questions, comments, suggestions, or if you would like to get involved with the Northern Iowan, please do not hesitate to email me. To those who are leaving, good luck. To those we will see again in the fall, never stop supporting this great university. And to all, thank you. John Anderson Executive Editor anderjao@uni.edu

Don’t stop now TREVOR BOECKMANN Trevor@ unifreethought.com
It’s that time of the year: the final issue of the Northern Iowan and my final article ever. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what to write for this article. Maybe I should go out with a bang. I could do one final, controversial article that gets everyone talking. Maybe I could reminisce on the things I learned during my undergrad. Maybe I could thank everyone who made my experience at the University of Northern Iowa so great. Maybe I could write some more satire. All these ideas seemed self-serving. In the grand scheme of things, my time as one of 13,000 students at a 136-year-old institution isn’t anything special. My advice probably isn’t the best. Last time I wrote satire, I won the disdain of not one, but two state universities. I needed to try something new. So, I started thinking about my time at UNI. I started thinking about the times I was proud of (all right, maybe there will be some reminiscing). It wasn’t the controversy that stuck with me, but the times I was able to help bring change that will live beyond my time here. It was the coalition-building, vote-finding and arm-twisting with the Northern Iowa Student Government that I’ll remember. In the four years I’ve been here, NISG has seen an incredible amount of unprecedented actions and controversies. There have been recall elections, walkouts and student initiatives. Rumors of impeachment and deadlocked votes. Overhauled constitutions and fraudulent elections. Great changes and childish fights. I’ve loved and hated every moment of it. The biggest change of them all happened this year. Following a series of articles by Northern Iowan writers and the fall elections, NISG passed one of the largest and most substantive reforms in recent memory. The size of senate was halved and the constituencies were drastically altered. This new plan won’t go into effect until next year, but I’m excited to see the change it brings about. This isn’t the time for NISG to sit back and bask in its accomplishments. There are more changes to be made, and a new generation of leaders with the potential to make them happen. First, we need to drastically overhaul the election commission. This appointed body charged with overseeing the election process has been the
bane of NISG’s existence each year. The commission is too large. Finding 10 students interested in student government but not involved with any campaign isn’t easy. The commission is too much of a revolving door. Members are appointed in late spring or early fall, long before many give consideration to running for office or helping a presidential campaign. Because doing either of these disqualifies students from serving, new members are constantly joining and leaving the commission. Their rules don’t make change easy. Any amendments have to be initiated by the commission, passed by senate and approved by the president more than six weeks prior to an election. In past years, it has been a struggle to fill the commission by election time, let alone with enough time to consider rule changes. The election commission needs to be abolished and their duties handed over to the NISG Supreme Court. Justices normally have little to do, are appointed until their graduation and should be independent of campaigns anyway. The stability and knowledgeability of the court would be a welcome reprieve from what is commonly seen in the commission. NISG needs to make it easier to run for senate. This year, candidates had a four-day window to gather signatures from constituents to get on the ballot. This process only serves to intimidate and winnow the handful of new students who decide to delve into student government each year. Some members of NISG take pride in keeping the group as a good ol’ boys’ club. Don’t let them win. Students shouldn’t need to gather signatures to get on the ballot for senate. Finally, NISG needs to find a new way to promote the election process. This year was, frankly, pathetic. Only 12 students made it on the ballot for the 30-plus senate seats available. By election time, more than twice that many were running write-in campaigns. Clearly, there is student interest in NISG. But until we find a way to promote the election, we’ll continue having these dismal showings of candidates. So, that’s what I decided to write my final opinion piece on. Rather than putting up with a long, sobbing goodbye, I hope you can help put this plan into action. Contact your senators, run for office yourself or voice your support of these changes. As hard as it may be for seniors to realize (this writer included), UNI will continue its business as usual next fall. I hope that while its memory of me will soon fade, these changes will help continue NISG down the road of being the life-changing organization it can be.

The Rod Library is such a safe space. I can count on it to have a spot for me to sit and enjoy a book, have computers available to use and have friendly faces ready to help with any research question. The library’s staff and faculty are caring people, and it shows. Within the library are designated study spaces. The library has done a marvelous job making sure all students have sufficient spots, designated spots to obtain the
best educational experience possible. Nonetheless, the word “designation,” which I would like to draw your attention to, is not a friendly, safe space. Design, designated, designating and designation are all forms of a plan, a label, a title and/or a description. Some designate intentionally, like the library. Unlike our Rod, some do not want other groups to intrude in their spaces, lives or hearts. They stay in private study groups of sorts and a person from another culture, race, ideology or gender is not
welcome. Whether the designation is consciously or unconsciously motivated it makes the spaces around campus unfriendly or unsafe for others. It can feel unfriendly when you are in a class and you are not chosen to participate with others because you have a headdress, or are barefoot, or have those dreaded locks or weigh a little more than the average student in class. It can feel unfriendly when you are in the Union and the white students are in the main area, the blacks are sitting See DESIGNATED, page 9

Royal families and royal pains TOM EARLY
earlyt@uni.edu
Three a.m. If you’ve got royal wedding fever, the pharmacy opens at 3 a.m. Friday. We the people of these United States hold this wedding as silly, don’t we? As we close in on the 235th anniversary of sticking it to the royal family, many of us find ourselves engrossed with the ceremonial continuation of the Windsor lineage. Television stations across the country are set to broadcast coverage of the matrimony at 4 a.m. EDT and many Americans are more than willing to watch. They are willing stay up or wake up in the wee hours of the night to participate in this most ancient liturgy of foreign figureheads. They have no real political power. They certainly have no authority over us. Why do we bother? Why should we bother? These people are the remnants of an archaic form of government and sit on empty thrones of privilege. I mean, it’s not like they really do anything, right? Royal families just sit around eating fish eggs off of jewelincrusted plates. Princes play cricket with the royal jewels and scepter, right? For all
I know, that may be true; I’ve never been to Buckingham Palace. But as I’ve researched into the lives of this family, it seems as though they might do something more. Let us examine the Princes of Wales. As we look at Prince William, we see a handsome twentysomething who really never had to work a day in his life but did anyway. After graduating the equivalent of high school, he traveled to Chile to teach impoverished children. This marked the beginning of a very prolific public service career. He’s volunteered with organizations promoting environmentalism and conservation, tsunami relief, HIV/AIDS relief, African education and much more. Back in 2006, following in a family tradition, William entered the Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst. However, his brother Harry really owns the military tradition of the family. Entering into the same military academy as his brother, Harry has been much more adamant in his military pursuits. In 2008, Harry spent time on the front lines of the Afghan War. This man who could very easily stay home and play polo all day decided to put his life on the line for his country. Although Harry has been in trouble for using racial slurs and his infamous
portrayal of Hitler at a costume party, I feel these shortcomings are magnified because of his position as royalty. You see, he and his brother are celebrities with standards. They have a tradition to live up to and a country to represent. So who represents America? Do we not have our own celebrities whom we worship? Families like the Kardashians and Hiltons and even Charlie Sheen come to mind; people who have done nothing of significance to deserve their personal privilege and public attention. Yet we follow them like hawks. Days’ worth of television series have been devoted to these people. But where is their public service? Where are their military careers? These are our royalty. Unfortunately, washed-up actors and celebrity families like this represent us, America. So when the wedding is over and we move on to July Fourth, let us reflect on the men who rebelled against the monarchs of old. Let us remember they chose to look past the posh veneer of royal right and fame as saw a king as just a man, a man they didn’t have to revere. And then we should ask ourselves: “If they didn’t care about the King of England, why should we care about Charlie Sheen?”

at one set of tables, the GLBT at another set, the international students are in another area and you do not fit any of those groups. If you sit with one group or the other, you may feel left out. In addition, you may fear a friend from another group questioning why you sat with that group instead of theirs. A person can be designated as the scapegoat, or as inferior, or as the other. I do not notice until I walk through the Union, or should I say the Segregation. Segregation is not a new thing. It has moved from homes to places of worship to schools and communities and now to universities. Segregation is an ugly and sometimes evil thing, which sucks the life out of curiosity and learning. I would like to leave you with three quotes. Select one, meditate on its meaning, and be an activist. Talk to people who do not fit your boxed definition; you might learn something and make a life friend in the process. Gaining new knowledge and skills is what the university, after all, is about. “No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks” (Mary Wollstonecraft). “The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance” (Diogenes Laertius). “The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil” (Hannah Arendt). I have a dream: one day I will walk in the Union and will not be able to tell who is whom, because you will be sitting together, learning from and immensely enjoying the differences.

UNI quarterback Zach Davis decides It’s been real UNI not to return for senior season

The UNI men’s basketball team knocked off Kansas University 69-67 in last year’s NCAA Tournament.

UNI quarterback Zach Davis (No. 17) will not return to the UNI football team for his senior season. Davis was 3-0 as the starting quarterback for the Panthers during his redshirt freshman season.
By TIM GETTING Sports Writer
Sometimes things just do not pan out the way you expect them to pan out. Zach Davis can tell you that. The University of Northern Iowa quarterback was not planning on playing in the first game of his redshirt freshman season against a nationallyranked Bowl Championship Subdivision opponent back in 2008. And, in all honesty, he probably was not expecting to complete five of six passes that game against Brigham Young University’s defense. But that is what happened. “(The starting quarterback Pat Grace) got hurt … Right when I got in there, all I remember was seeing BYU and not some small high school team. I was pretty nervous, and then the first play they call was a pass play, my first ever college experience I had to throw a pass,” Davis recalled. Davis completed the pass, and, although the Panthers eventually lost, it seemed pretty clear that there was a bright future in store for the quarterback position at UNI. Grace continued to be plagued with injuries during the 2008 season, and Davis continued to prove himself as a reliable backup. Davis started three games that season. The Panthers won
every one of those games. During one of those starts, Davis led the Panthers to a 30-6 road victory over Western Illinois University. The win separated UNI from WIU for the top spot in the Missouri Valley Football Conference standings. “(The team) knew that I could get it done as a second-string quarterback and do what they expect me to do. It gave me a little confidence too,” said Davis.
“
I would rather work on my academics and spend my time there and be able to graduate and not really, I don’t want to say ‘waste my time,’ but not spend more time with football when I’m going to be a second-string quarterback for four years in a row. Zach Davis Former UNI quarterback
Fast-forward two seasons. Grace has graduated. Davis is healthy, entering his third season with the Panthers as the team’s most experienced quarterback. “Coming up to that point, I had it in my head that I was going to be the starting quarterback,” Davis said. However, things just did not pan out the way Davis expected them to pan
out. Junior college transfer Tirrell Rennie was awarded the starting position, and Davis remained a secondstring quarterback. “(Rennie) is more of running quarterback, and he’ll pass if he needs to. I think that is more of what (the coaches) were looking for at the time. With how young the offensive line was, they knew that (opposing defenses) were going to bring some pressure on us, so they just needed more of a running quarterback,” Davis said. Davis split time with Rennie occasionally but often found himself on the field during situations where it was clear that he was going to pass. The result was Davis’ poorest statistics of his career. Although Davis says that he remained supportive of Rennie during the season, he still felt like he was put into an unfair situation. “I felt like with the three starts that I had, that that would give me a good chance to start the first game of my junior year. But I guess it didn’t work out for me,” Davis said. Davis recently decided to not return to the team for his final season. “I would rather work on my academics and spend my time there and be able to graduate and not really, I don’t want to say ‘waste my time,’ but not spend more

Well, University of Northern Iowa students, it has been a great run. For two semesters now I have been providing you with a biweekly sports opinion column that allowed me to ramble on about all things sports. Many of you probably disagreed with my strong viewpoint on issues, but I hope they made you think, question or at least laugh.
I have no aspirations of becoming a writer and after reading my articles, one might understand why. I do consider myself lucky, however, that I had the opportunity to jot down my opinions and thoughts, which were published in the Northern Iowan in return for a check. Looking back at my four years on campus at UNI, there have been many sports highlights. The football team has had some incredible seasons… See RANT, page 11
Brad’s Sports Blurb
Revise Title IX
Vernon Bryant/MCT CAMPUS
Texas A&M, pictured here against Georgia, won the women’s NCAA basketball tournament earlier this month. They defeated Notre Dame 76-70.
By BRAD EILERS Sports Editor
Tuesday the New York Times reported that “many Division I schools are distorting the number of students participating in sports so they can comply with Title IX.” Among the tactics is to pad rosters of women’s teams with unqualified players or even men. The Times found that
schools counted athletes who no longer wanted to compete or never played for that team, listing male practice players as women and trimming the rosters of men’s teams. The Times analyzed public records from more than 20 colleges and universities and federal participation statistics from all 345 instituSee BLURB, page 11

tions at the NCAA Division I level. For those of you who don’t know, Title IX is a federal law that was formed in 1972 and bans sex discrimination in schools and opened academic and sports opportunities for women. Schools must comply in one of three ways: show proportionality of female athletes to female students on campus, demonstrate a history of increasing sports for women or prove it has met the interest and ability of the underrepresented group. While Title IX was created to help give women students and athletes equal rights (which I am all for), I believe Title IX should be dissolved or at the very least be reformed. Colleges and universities should be able to make their own decisions, especially with the current economic situation which has led to many colleges nationwide having to cut various athletic programs because they aren’t bringing in enough revenue. The University of Northern Iowa baseball team is a perfect example. However, once a university has cut even one female athletics program, the university must rely on “showing proportionality of female athletes to female students on campus.” I think this is a crazy idea, since women are no longer a minority on college campuses nationwide. In fact, according to the New York Times article, women make up 57 percent of college enrollments in the United States. This means that more than half of all the athletes on the
I
northern-iowan.org
“average” college campus must be female. I suspect that the people who formulated Title IX didn’t foresee that coming. What makes matters worse is that most college football teams have approximately 85 players on a roster. What women’s sport has that many players? There are none. This means that the “average” school that has a football program needs to have at least 113 female athletes just to balance out one male sport. This means that if a school wanted to cut a sport because of a budget crisis, it would likely have to be a male sport because the women’s sports must be proportional to the size of the female student body. Once again, I stress that I am not a sexist or against women’s athletics. However, I do believe that if a university is in a financial crisis and needs to cut an athletics program, it should cut the program(s) that bring in the least revenue. If that is a men’s sport, great; that’s even better because you wouldn’t have to worry about Title IX. However, if it is a women’s sport, I don’t think the university should have to worry about whether or not they are following Title IX protocol. In a perfect world, there wouldn’t be an imbalance across sports on the size of rosters like football (85 players) compared to volleyball (15 players). But I think a much more reasonable approach to Title IX would be to simply force colleges to have the same number of men’s and women’s sports, as opposed to focusing on the roster sizes themselves.

and heartbreaking losses come playoff time. These tears were often overlooked because our men’s basketball team was the best in the state and a couple of Missouri Valley Conference title banners are now hanging in the McLeod Center rafters. The basketball team also won a few games in the NCAA Tournament back in 2010; I think one was against a school from Kansas. I came to UNI when baseball was still a sport; now it is no longer. The volleyball team had one of their best seasons of all time this year, which led them to another NCAA tournament berth. We are all so fortunate that we have the chance to call UNI our home for four years. I have loved every minute of it, but yet I find myself eagerly awaiting graduation. I know many of you out there are hoping I will stay for graduate school to begin a career in journalism, but I have decided to take my talents to the world of education. In all seriousness, I truly have enjoyed writing for this newspaper.

time with football when I’m going to be a secondstring quarterback for four years in a row,” said Davis. Davis is currently an exercise science major at UNI, but intends to switch that major to physical education next semester. He also has a coaching minor and plans to coach baseball at Waterloo West High School this summer. Life without football has freed up much time for Davis, who says he is mostly occupying it by focusing more on his academics, but likes to play basketball and lift occasionally as well. Davis seems content with his decision to not return next season but knows that there are some things that he will miss from Panther football. “The biggest thing I’ll miss is being around the guys, but still, the guys who I’m really good friends with on the team I still hang out with. They don’t mind that I’m not there.”

Brad swallowed his pride and gave me a shot at writing a column during a conversation last summer and I hope I lived up to his expectations. In closing, I would like to quote two of the greatest “Wills” of all time, William Shakespeare and Willy Wonka: “Adieu! Adieu! Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Good luck to all the graduates and go Panthers!
