The last UNIFI event of the 2014-2015 school year involved a discussion on burqa bans. UNIFI holds thought-provoking discussions and lectures throughout the year for students to attend.

UNI Free Thinkers and Inquirers (UNIFI), a campus group that welcomes skeptics, agnostics, atheists and freethinkers, kicked off their semester activities with a Sunday brunch at a church — of all places. The United Methodist Church-sponsored campus ministry group, the Wesley Foundation (or “Treehouse”), provided the meeting space for the secular group. UNIFI is a group that “create[s] a welcoming community for …

anyone who turns a critical eye to religious and pseudoscientific claims,” according to the UNIFI website. “We’ve had multiple events [at the Wesley Foundation] over the years,” said Aaron Friel, senior math and computer science major and president of UNIFI. “They are really a great bunch of people. I can’t think of a religious group on campus that has been more accommodating and more friendly to UNIFI than the Wesley Foundation/ Threehouse.”

Bash in the Stacks brings students to Rod SHELBY WELSCH Staff Writer

UNI is known for the wide variety of activities that are hosted during Welcome Week. It’s a way to transition into the new semester, get people involved in the UNI community and have a little fun before classes begin. On Thursday Aug. 27, Rod Library hosted their second annual Bash in the Stacks. Although it’s unusual to see people running around in a library playing human Hungry Hungry Hippo or

bowling between bookshelf lanes, it was an event attended by many people. What is Bash in the Stacks? For a few hours, the library transforms into an arcadelike atmosphere, complete with many games to play and tickets that can be exchanged for prizes. Even TC and TK stopped by to play some games. Almost every floor of the library is utilized for this event, except the fourth floor, which is reserved as a quiet area for students that want to See STACKS, page 5

UNI rising in ranks for Princeton Review EMILY BEISEL Staff Writer

Faculty struggle with Schindler remodel The final weeks of a semester tend to be a hassle for most, but those who had offices in the Schindler Education Center last semester truly faced chaos. Due to the renovation of Schindler Hall, the faculty was required to relocate during the last week of the spring 2015 semester, said Nancy White, adjunct instructor of literacy education. According to White, the offices of Special Education and Curriculum and Instruction professors have been relocated to cubical spaces in the Nielson Field House, with a third of the gym also being used by the children of the Youth and Development Center. Because some of White’s

office items would not fit in these tight quarters, she stated she had to move things into her car and garage. “I feel like I’m teaching out of the trunk of my car,” said White. White also feels that the relocation of offices may deter students from visiting faculty members during their office hours. With the renovation comes even more changes for education professors and students. According to Associate Registrar, Mary Baumann, approximately 260 courses from the Schindler Education Center were relocated to other buildings on campus. One education course

took place in the middle of the library on the first floor Wednesday morning. “Teaching in the middle of the library? That’s not okay. We pay a lot of money to be here,” said Tiffany Bean, junior early childhood education major. According to Rick Knivsland, chair of the Schindler Renovation Committee, the Schindler Education Center has hardly done any remodeling since the opening of the building in the early 1970s. Because of this, the building is considered to be outdated. Knivsland noted that the mechanical systems and bathrooms are currently not up to code.

-ness school deans, students’ prior work experience and admission selectivity. Additionally, the Princeton Review has recognized UNI as one of the country’s most environmentally responsibly and ecologically conscious schools in “The Princeton Review’s Guide to 322 Green Colleges-2012.” The complete list of UNI’s academic and social achievements and all major acknowledgements can be found on UNI’s website. However, it was not long ago that the university came under criticism for its massive program and budget cuts in 2012. UNI’s website reports that the final closure consisted of 23 undergraduate majors, 19 undergraduate minors, 16 graduate programs and roughly 30 faculty positions. Those programs represented less than 2 percent of the degrees granted in the 20102011 academic year. Former UNI president Ben Allen also made the executive decision to close UNI’s well-known Malcolm Price Laboratory school in June of 2012. The closing of Price Lab was not well-received by a number of UNI’s Education majors and faculty members, many of whom completed their clinical and field experi-

ences there. According to Trina Landmesser, a UNI admissions counselor, those decisions made in 2012 do not define UNI as a university today. “While 2012 was considered a controversial year at UNI, the concept of cutting back programs on college campuses to save on budget isn’t a new practice in higher education since the 2008 recession,” said Landmesser. “While it was unfortunate to lose programs on campus, it was done so with intentions to make UNI an even stronger university. I think the Princeton Review ranking is evidence of that effort.” Although UNI received backlash in 2012 from some of these cuts, the university still has been critically acclaimed by The Princeton Review, Forbes and other esteemed ranking guides. “UNI offers something unique […] because we offer the best of both worlds for students deciding between a small school experience versus a large school experience,” said Landmesser. “While I think rankings, such as the Princeton Review, definitely make ears perk up among parents, the best testament to our prospective students is what they hear from current students and alum.”

This $30 million-plus project will not only get the building up to code but also allow for more collaborative space, explained Knivsland. The renovation will rid the building of all but one lecture hall, while eliminating the “pie-shaped” classrooms to provide more opportunities for hands on learning, said Knivsland. “Yes, I’m gonna have to deal with, you know, walking around and figuring out classes for like a year or two, but then the end result is going to be worth it,” said Bean. Knivsland stated that the demolition is soon to be underway, with the building scheduled to reopen in the spring of 2017.

The brunch is a weekly event for UNIFI, hosted every Sunday at 11 a.m. This is the first time the gathering was held at the Wesley Foundation (just east of campus on College Street) — Friel said they wanted to be as close to campus as possible to entice new students.

There’s no point in calling ourselves a skeptical group on campus if we all share the same views on everything. Aaron Friel

UNIFI President

UNIFI is largely known for it’s sponsorship and organization of the annual Darwin Week lecture series, which consists of keynote speakers from across the country as well as UNI faculty. UNIFI also hosts themed discussions every other Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Maucker Union’s Hemisphere Lounge. The discussion topics are chosen by UNIFI officers are chosen a week prior to the open forums. Friel said the themes must be topical, and the must be divisive. “It’s really important to have meaningful discussions that we aren’t simply all of one opinion on,” Friel said. “There’s no point in us calling ourselves a skeptical group on campus if we all share the same view on everything.” Though the majority of UNIFI members are atheist or agnostic, the group has religious members; and welcomes others. Citing internal surveys of UNIFI members, Friel said some UNIFI members identify as “spiritual” and “deist” — i.e., they believe in a supreme being. Brooke Wiese, sophomore English major and UNIFI member, said she has learned a lot from being a UNIFI member, and recommends others attend the brunches. “Everyone is really welcoming and it’s really fun,” she said. “And Chinese food every Sunday … You can’t turn down Chinese food.” “We don’t ask our members to identify in any particular way,” Friel said. “You don’t have to attest to anything, or not attest to anything, to be a member.”

Staying calm: The politics of fear “We’re all gonna die!” “The sky is falling!” “Duck and Cover!” “Run for the hills!” You’ve all heard these expressions before, and as active members of a university you’re most likely smart enough and educated enough to understand their absurdity. But the people screaming these phrases aren’t targeting you. For the most part, none of the current GOP candidates are foolish enough to actually say these specific words (okay, maybe Donald Trump), but their rhetoric is designed largely to push these messages across to their voting public — a voting public which is very much interested in being scared to death. Because the GOP knows this, they use it to their advantage to push themselves higher up in the polls, which makes our current voting process problematic for two reasons. First, the voting “season” as it was, is no longer a short period of time used to determine a candidate for the two competing parties of Democrat and Republican, but is now very much a yearround, every year battle to determine who can scream the loudest and the lon-

gest without saying something which will create the wrong optics and get them tossed from contention. Because of this, the entire process has become little more than a circus sideshow, complete with xenophobes, misog ynists, bigots and outright racists. What makes someone like Trump so fascinating is that his rhetoric is not shrouded in the usual code words of the GOP but with straightforward words that break the veil of secrecy and reveal the clown show for what it is. To many of us (I hope), the whole thing is completely laughable and something to make fun of on social media. But for far too many people, these words ring tried-and-true — which leads us to our second problem with our current voting process. People actually believe this s---! And this is where the fear comes in. The GOP has spent decades destroying the social safety nets of the very people who make up their voting base, while at the same time convincing them it’s all somebody else’s fault. In the last presidential election, Mitt Romney blamed it on the 47 percent who were “takers” and, because of their existence, social welfare must be eliminated to allow true hard-working Americans a chance. Such a number is, of course, ludicrous. In order for that claim to be true, half of the country would have to be collecting

unemployment benefits. Or more accurately we can ask, how can someone who works full-time for minimum wage be considered lazy? And now we have Trump, who refuses to code his words. He just outright blames Mexicans for the disastrous state of the lower- and middle-classes, which not only ignites the passions of the xenophobes and racists in the country, but is forcing the rest of the GOP to come over to his side due

to his lead in the polls. Denounce anyone who is “other” or face falling out of the race is the only thing they hear, and they are reacting accordingly. What we need to remember, however, is that the world is not ending; the country is not falling apart. And even if it was, diving under a desk is not going to save you from a nuclear blast. So, when you turn on your local news and they’re touting the latest GOP candidate to tour Iowa without ever once

questioning their ignorant and fear based political stances, try to remember that the world always gets better. Yes, we have stumbling blocks along the way and occasional losses we find incomprehensible, but if you stay calm and vote with your head and not your racist uncle’s heart, we’ll all be just fine. And if the sky really does end up falling, well, at least we won’t have to endure these morons any longer.

The freshman college experience checklist AMANDA WAGNER

Opinion columnist

Working out in the WRC I think it’s pretty great that we have this free amenity right here on campus with a full fitness center. While I am not by any means extremely fit, going to WRC is a good way to at least attempt to work off all the calories consumed at the dining center.

Last week was my last first day of school. It’s kind of surreal to think that this is my last semester. As a fifth year senior, I’ve had a lot of first days of school. This last first day made me think about some college experiences that I wouldn’t do without. Here is a list of some experiences all students should have before the end of the year: Eating way too much food in the dining center The food served on campus is delicious and you almost always overeat. Just try not to get pizza every time. The freshman 15 (or 20) is a real thing, and I get

Wearing sweats to class There are always days where you don’t want to get out of bed but you remember that there’s a quiz in that one class that you’re kind of worried about passing. So put on those sweats, and hightail it to class. I try to dress up to make a good impression

I learned that a whole bottle of tequilla will still make me sick. for my professors now since I hope to rely on them for letters of recommendation but we all have those days where putting anything beyond your sweats is just beyond a struggle. Pulling an all-nighter That late, late night prepping for a presentation or writing that 20 page paper was grueling but the experience was worth it. I always had a friend that would pull an allnighter with me and we became closer with every

night we stayed up. My recommendation to pull through that 2 a.m. slump is to literally run around your dorm or apartment building. That always woke me up. Drinking too much While I am not much of a partier or a drinker, I still have done this. It was a worthwhile experience. I learned that I am not invincible and that a whole bottle of tequila will still make make me sick. I also learned that I’ve got great friends that will take care of me. Experiencing a hang over This goes along with the previous experience. You don’t know what a headache is until you wake up with one heck of a hangover after

drinking too much. Kudos if you can get up and function like normal with a hangover. Greasy food and an aspirin works wonders though. Kissing your crush under the campanile Campaniling is a time-honored tradition on the traditions challenge. My significant other and I shared our first kiss under the campanile and it was a unique experience to say the least. All of these experiences are significant to my college experience anyway. They weren’t all fun but they are all memorable. Here’s to another year full of memorable experiences at UNI.

"I used to work at Hy-Vee in Iowa City. One day I was bagging groceries, for a homeless man nicknamed Uncle Tom. After I finished bagging his stuff, he offered me a box of doughnuts he bought. This was my first time meeting him and I didn't want to take his stuff, so I said I didn't want them. Later my co-workers explained to me that he has some job and with the money he makes he chooses to buy food and toys for people to just give away to them. One day he came into Hy-Vee and asked my manager what size shirt he wore so he could buy him a shirt or something. The world would look a whole lot different if more people had his sense of caring and selflessness.”

MOVIE REVIEW

“We Are Your Friends”; more like “We Are Plot Devices” JOSHUA ROUSE Movie Reviewer

“We Are Your Friends” is a coming-of-age tale about 23-year-old Cole (Zac Efron) trying to make his way as a DJ in the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) scene. His 3 best friends, Mason (Johnny Weston), Ollie (Shiloh Fernandez) and Squirrel (Alex Shaffer) accompany him as they struggle to find a living in Southern California, until Cole finds a mentor in elder DJ James (Wes Bentley). DJ James takes the aspiring artist under his wing, leading Cole to several tough decisions about his future. As the directing debut by Max Joseph, “We Are Your Friends” is surprisingly solid in its foundation. The film doesn’t ask too much from its audience, and the movie never reaches too high of what it’s capable of. There are some interesting directing choices, such as adding animated effects to a trip out scene at a party or the opening monologue by Cole describing his lifestyle with his friends in their neighborhood. It plays out like a documentary, with words flash-

ing across the screen with different graphical effects to keep things visually entertaining. There is also a point where Cole gives the audience, along with James’s girlfriend, a crash course in the science behind the skills a DJ uses to hold sway over the crowd. This sequence plays out like an educational video one might find in school. And yet, despite all of these trippy, or seemingly ‘out of place’ graphics and animations, it all still makes sense in the flow of the movie and they are never distracting or unnecessary. If only as much attention was given to the plot as it was to the graphics and the montage cinematography. With a movie titled “We Are Your Friends,” you would assume that the movie is about someone realizing the importance of friendship, right? This film is, and isn’t, about that. That’s where the problem lies. During the course of the movie, it constantly switches to either being about Cole and his music or about Cole and his friends, with Cole’s music taking prevalence in the end.

EW.COM

Cole (Zac Efron) living out his musical dream of being an Electronic Dance Music DJ in “We Are Your Friends.”

This ambiguity makes the movie hard to pin down as satisfying because there are some problems that are never resolved with Cole and his friends. With loose ends still untied, the titular friends become plot devices to move the subplot along when the movie is focused on Cole and his music.

Overall, “We Are Your Friends” is good enough for at least one watch. While the writing for both the friends and music sides of the plot is nothing terribly original, it is entertaining enough to

fill the 96 minutes running time. The film never felt dragged out or too short. However, it should have taken more time asserting what its plot focus is.

UNI Harvest Festival gives back to community ANDREA PINGEL Staff Writer

The third annual Harvest Festival took place Thursday night at the Panther Plot, located behind the Biology Research Complex. The purpose of the Festival was to celebrate the hard work of the gardening season with the UNI community. The Panther Plot was developed by a group of Presidential Scholars in 2013 who believed students needed to become more aware of where their food comes from. The plot is managed by a group of student workers and volunteers. The majority of the food harvested is donated to the UNI campus, but a portion does end up else-

where in the Cedar Valley. The Univer sity Sustainability Coordinator, Eric O’Brien, discussed where some of the harvested food goes. “We just donated 180 pounds of sweet corn to the Northeast Iowa food bank for people that maybe couldn’t otherwise afford some nice, fresh sweet corn,” O’Brien said. Not only does the plot give back to the community through its donations, it also allows students to gain leadership experience. Senior health promotion major Kelsey Ewald has been involved with the festival. “Last year, I was the manager of the garden. I made connections with different

areas of the community like the food bank and businesses on the hill. I basically oversaw the garden from seed to feed,” Ewald said. Ewald, as well as other students actively involved with the plot, attended this year’s Harvest Festival with excitement for the unveiling of the plot’s new look. Currently, the garden is undergoing a fiveyear design plan, produced by Brittany Nelson, a UNI graduate from the interior design program. According to O’Brien, Nelson wanted to take on what she learned in her major and apply it to an outdoor use. She held a focus group consisting of students involved with the plot to determine how to

take on the project. “Two years ago, this was just a field. We had two paths that went as a cross and just intersected. It wasn’t necessarily welcoming or inviting. Through the focus group, she (Nelson) found out that students wanted a welcoming place – we had people in here earlier this week studying which is really cool,” said O’Brien. The redesigned space now contains multiple pathways, as well as hand-built benches and seating areas. Another element that Nelson implemented was the addition of some height

elements. Instead of a piece of flat land, the plot now has the appealing effect of taller plants, such as corn, as well as trellises. The plot has been such a success with the Sustainability department, as well as the UNI community that O’Brien and his students have visions for the future. “I hope the panther plot can really just grow its roots and get more students involved. The president and administration have been really supportive,” Ewald said.

Panthers take 1 of 3 after opening in Colorado ZACH HUNTLEY Sports Writer

UNI Archives

The Panthers traveled to Ft. Collins, CO this past weekend for a three match tournament. After handily defeating UC Davis, UNI fell to Baylor and No. 12 Colorado St.

The Panther women’s volleyball team got off to a quick start this fall in their first tournament in Fort Collins, CO. UNI competed in the Rams Volleyball Classic this weekend, taking on UC Davis, Baylor and Colorado State on Friday, Aug. 28 and Saturday, Aug. 29. The Panthers didn’t leave empty handed, taking down UC Davis with a confident 3-1 lead. Starting off the season strong, UNI beat their opponent UC Davis by set scores of 25-18, 25-27, 29-27 and 25-21. Three Panthers, freshman Bri Weber, freshman Piper Thomas and sophomore Heather Hook, made their first career appearances on the court. Junior Amie Held secured 22 digs against UC Davis, which pushed her just over the 1,000 mark in career digs. In addition to her digs, Held posted four service aces against her opponents. UNI’s second match of the weekend resulted in a five-set bout with scores of

21-25, 25-23, 25-28, 22-25 and 15-8. Five Panthers posted double-figure kill totals against Baylor. Kayla Haneline with an impressive 14, Bri Weber with 13, Jaidyn Blanchfield with 11 and Piper Thomas and Lindsey Schultz with 10 kills each. Adding to the double-figure feat, sophomore Heather Hook secured 17 digs while Ashlee Sinnott notched 16 digs of her own. Facing the No. 12 ranked team in the NCAA, UNI put up a fight against the Colorado State women. With set scores of 25-19, 25-26 and 25-18, the Panthers made CO State work for their victories. Proficient yet again in digs, Heather Hook took seven, Bri Weber recorded 14 and Ami Held notched the team-high 20-dig total. Looking ahead, the UNI volleyball squad will host their first home meet of the season next weekend in the McLeod Center. On Friday, Sept. 4, the Panthers will take on Kentucky at 6:30 p.m. On Saturday, Sept. 5, UNI will face Creighton at 12:00 p.m. and Southern California at 7:30 p.m.

SOCCER

UNI remains undefeated, shutout E. Illinois 3-0 BRANDON TYJEPKES Sports Writer

So far this season, it seems like the UNI women’s soccer team prefer to keep things down to the wire as they played their third straight overtime game on Friday evening. The Panthers, 1-02, drew a 1-1 score against Nebraska-Omaha, 0-2-1. Senior Annie Dale scored just after the 13th minute to bring the early 1-0 lead. This goal marks Dale’s third goal of the season. She became one of three Panthers to score a goal in three consecutive games, joining Chelsie Hochstedler and Nicole Ferlito, who both achieved the same in 2008. Nebraska-Omaha’s Lydia Holtman scored the equalizer outside the box just before halftime for the 1-1 tie at half. Neither team was able to score in the second half as the game went to the full 110 minutes, making the final score, 1-1. The Panthers were on top in shots with 18, as well as shots on target with seven. The Panthers returned

home on Sunday as they played Eastern Illinois, this time defeating their opponent, 3-0. Both teams were held scoreless for most of the first half until Katie Witt broke the spell in the 35th minute to bring out the 1-0 lead. The second half started with Annie Dale scoring within three minutes of the half to bring the 2-0 lead. Dale’s fourth goal in four consecutive games ties the record held by Hochstedler in 2008. “She’s a forward that keeps scoring goals,” Coach Price said about Dale. “She’s very confident right now, and that’s a nice trait to have in a forward.” Even with the big lead, the Panthers were not done yet. Maddie Welch scored within the last two minutes of the game to bring the final score to 3-0. Other than Dale’s scoretying record, the big aspect was UNI’s defense. They held Eastern Illinois to only five shots for the entire contest. UNI, 2-0-2, will be back on the road to play the Iowa
