UNI feels effects of budget cuts BUDGET
SARAH KELZER Staff Writer
Consecutive budget cuts over the last three years have created an increasing concern at the University of Northern Iowa for the university’s future. The state legislature’s reduction of state funds by 5.4 percent and an increase in basic costs has left UNI with a shortfall of $3.6 million. “We are at a point that if there continue to be reductions, I’m not sure where (the money) could come from,” said Terrence Hogan, Vice President for Student Affairs. Even though student tuition was increased by 5 percent and the administration budgeted for more students, the state reductions were greater than the tuition increase in dollars.

“Unlike Iowa and Iowa State, where they have so many out-of-state students, we were unable to raise out-of-state tuition dollars to compensate for those losses in state funds,” said President Benjamin Allen.
Making up for the deficit The offices of the provost, Student Affairs, and Administration and Financial Services were each assigned a portion of the budget cut and were given instructions to figure out how to deal with their financial burdens. The budget cuts have affected nearly all of UNI’s campus, except for the financial aid section of the Student Affairs division. One way that UNI is saving money is by slightly increasing class sizes. Laura Porter, a junior communication major, has noticed this change. “I feel like there are more people in my classes, but it’s not enough to make a huge difference,” Porter said.

After the assault and eventual death of Marcellus Andrews, a 19-year-old man from Waterloo, a vigil was held at the University of Northern Iowa for Andrews to mourn his death and reemphasize the importance of tolerance. About 60 people from UNI and the community attended the vigil, which was held on Aug. 25. “We decided that we needed to come together as a group, not because we’re gay, not because he might’ve been gay, but just to sup-
port someone whose life was really lost in an unfortunate time in his life,” said senior Ellie Hail, the co-president of UNI Proud, which sponsored the vigil. A gang of people assaulted Andrews on Aug. 19. He suffered severe injuries from the attack and was taken off life support two days after arriving at a local hospital. Witnesses at the scene report that they heard homophobic remarks during the assault. Waterloo Police say however, that the case was not See VIGIL, page 3

CHILDREN’S PROGRAM
Kindergym tumbles back to UNI CAITIE PETERSON Staff Writer
The School of Health, Physical Education & Leisure Services (HPELS) is once again offering Kindergym, a program designed to provide experience for college students studying early childhood education, including physical education for young children. Kindergym allows children ages 2-5 a safe, fun environment in which to develop a number of different skills. While the main focus of the program is the development of physical skills such as movement patterns, the instructors also encourage other skills such as problem-solving and social interaction. According to the Kindergym webpage, “Kindergym believes that children need to feel liked, to be challenged, and to sense pride in their accomplishments.” Rip Marston, the Kindergym program administrator, started the program 26 years ago. He had young children at the time and could not find such opportunities in the area. The program has been running strong since its beginning. Katie Farwell, the director of the Kindergym program, teaches the program to college students and trains the assistants of program. Farwell said the most important thing she thinks kids can take away from the program is that “they experience an environment where they can be successful … and experience a fun atmosphere and learn that fitness is a fun thing.” Activities in the program include warm-up stretches; cardio; gymnastics; manipulative activities such as striking, throwing and kicking; and the ever-popular parachute. Parents are requested
to attend the program with their children in order to provide a “familiar face” during the activities. According to Farwell, parents “jump in and are encouraged to do the activities with the kids.” One of the goals of Kindergym is to provide a “bonding between kids and their parents through fitness on Saturday mornings.”
KINDERGYM What: a program that develops physical skills and other skills, such as problemsolving and social interaction Who: Children ages 2-5 When: Saturday mornings from 9 to 9:50 a.m. Where: Wellness and Recreation Center Kindergym is offered in the fall and spring on six consecutive Saturday mornings. The 4- and 5-year-olds meet at the Wellness and Recreation center from 9 to 9:50 a.m. and a session for 3- and 4-year-olds follows from 10 to 10:50 a.m. The registration is $32 for the first child per family and $25 for each additional child enrolled. The cost includes a Kindergym t-shirt.

BUDGET CUTS continued from page 1
UNI’s three divisions have also generated extra funds through several methods, including shifting reliance on what sources of money are being used to pay for something. “We’re seeing some position shift from general fund support to being funded by either student fees or by income that departments generate,” Hogan said. For example, instead of counting on funding from the university, Maucker Union has shifted to bringing in revenue from room rentals and equipment rentals, and by hosting weddings and events. As staff has decreased, so has the quality of the campus, according to Allen. “The impact is that if you walk around campus, you may not see it maintained at the same levels,” Allen said. “We have an attractive campus and you may see some deterioration.”
Effect on academics
The academic piece of the puzzle, which represents 70 percent of the budget, had the smallest cut, but the largest absolute amount of deficit. Out of the $3.5 million budget cut, $2.2 million came from the academic sector. “A little perspective here: I actually cut academic affairs less than I cut the other two divisions because our core mission is academics,” Allen said. The academic division, run by Vice President and Provost Gloria Gibson, also received one-time funds produced from the return of more students than was initially expected. The extra revenue gave administrators more time to make their budget decisions. If more state funds are not given to UNI next year, significant programs and minors will be downsized or even eliminated. Programs are reviewed and sometimes eliminated every two years by the provost and the deans, who started a process to review all academic programs. They developed the criteria and a review process and formed a ranking of UNI’s programs. Allen is sometimes reluctant to cut certain programs. “If we have the last standing program, it’s more

UNI is generating extra funds by: • reducing staff • eliminating positions • not replacing employees • cutting programs • cutting specific targeted services • limiting faculty travel • offering early retirement to faculty difficult to close,” Allen said. “The only other options students would have is either go to an out-of-state or a private college, both of which are more expensive.” On the other hand, programs and minors that are cut would help generate money to be used to pay off some of the deficit and to invest into UNI’s bigger, stronger programs. While only a relatively small number of programs are being completely removed, all of UNI’s programs are impacted in a way that involves massive re-structuring.
Effect on other programs
The Recycling & Reuse Tech Transfer Center (RRTTC), a program that promotes sustainability, has experienced a loss of $80,000 (25 percent of their budget) since 2000. “If we are not investing in the applied research, it affects our ability to impact society, impact student lives and impact sustainability overall,” said Catherine Zeman, RRTTC director. “Ultimately, we are not investing in your future.” Besides not being able to offer any applied research funding, the program is now funding fewer graduate students and providing fewer undergraduate and graduate internships. Zeman said the program’s long-term goals have shortened and that they “are down to the bone. “But ultimately, this undermines student opportunity,” Zeman said. Shane McClintock, a staff member at RRTTC and graduate student who works with Zeman, was directly affected by the budget cuts.
nity members talked and shared stories with one another. “It was solemn,” said freshman theatre major Zachary Sperstad. “Very quiet, peaceful. It was definitely sad, but you could feel the togetherness.” Sperstad views this tragedy as an example of the importance of
“My general reaction is resignation,” McClintock said. “I knew things would be tough, but it’s hard to know exactly how tough until you actually see the situation unfold.” McClintock, who has three kids of his own, was reduced to part-time work, limited in the amount of research funding for his thesis and learned that the RRTTC was no longer able to pay for his tuition like they were in past years. The Iowa Math and Science Education Partnership (IMSEP), located on UNI’s campus, is also suffering after a 4 percent budget decrease. IMSEP relies on state funding for recruiting, improvement and the creation of collaborating bridges for K-12 kids in math and science. “One option is to scale back what we are doing, but that is just painful to watch,” said Jeff Welds, director of IMSEP. While strategically trying to continue to move forward in light of the r e d u c t i o n s, there has been reduced capacity, personnel, proUNI President gramming Benjamin Allen and outreach. To help make up for the loss of funds, IMSEP has gained financial funds from private sectors from companies such as John Deere and Rockwell Collins. “I think it’s kind of poetic that the private sector is helping us as much as they are,” Welds said. “After all, they are the beneficiaries of us and your (students’) hard work.” According to Allen, the general outlook toward UNI’s budget cuts is focused on getting through it and moving on. “This university has been here 135 years, withstanding war and depression,” Allen said. “We have good leadership teams that will come up with a solution that will be painful but fair and built on the assumption that it will make the university stronger.”

peace and tolerance. “The biggest thing is to look at this and see what we are facing and try to eliminate that kind of hate from our society,” Sperstad said. “We have to try and make a more peaceful environment where we can all get along and live in harmony.”

FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT’S DESK
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE IAN GOLDSMITH
student body vice president
Impossible. The concept of “impossible” is an interesting one. Let’s say it one more time in unison, class: impossible. The dictionary defines impossible as “incapable of being true; unable to be done, performed, or to exist.” My personal definition of impossible, more specifically what IS possible, is something I think about and adapt every day. Over the summer, I went to a week-long leadership conference called “Leadershape.” We learned a multitude of concepts about leadership and life, but one that stayed with me was that leaders must have a “healthy disregard for the impossible.” If you are still reading this article and haven’t turned the page yet, you might be thinking “Oh great, Ian is about to feed me a bunch of the same ‘Follow your dreams, nothing is impossible’ stuff I’ve been fed since kindergarten.” Although I love attempting to be motivational, I’m also realistic. Don’t get me wrong; many things are, frankly, impossible. I will never jump off of a cliff and flap my arms and expect to fly. I will never be able to eat 28 Pancheros burritos in one sitting, no matter how much I would like to. Attempting these things would not be a HEALTHY disregard for the impossible. But there are many things that ARE possible, if you try. This is especially true in college and at the University of Northern Iowa. Take my friend Zach Fisher as an example. Zach, a current sophomore, and his friends pitched to me an idea last May during finals week. They wanted to create “Glowstock,” a giant venue for local music talent to benefit the UNI student body. They envisioned an enormous free music festival at UNI, featuring great bands and DJs from across the state. And they wanted to do all of this at the beginning of the school year. I’ll admit, although I loved the idea, I told him, “I’m not sure if that’s possible.” Although I had my doubts, I pointed Zach in the right direc-
tion and connected him with campus resources. Throughout the summer, I continued to get questions and updates from Zach about Glowstock. Sure enough, four short months later, Glowstock is happening. (Shameless promo: Glowstock is Saturday, Sept. 17, from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. at Lawther Field! Be there! Search Glowstock on Facebook for more information.) Zach is only one of hundreds of examples I can give of people and things at UNI that transform my definition of impossible every day. Since just my freshman year, I personally have already witnessed and experienced plenty of things in my own college career that have stretched my concept of possibility. I’ve seen a handful of Broadway shows at the GBPAC. I’ve seen recycling bins in every residence hall room. I watched the men’s basketball team play in the Sweet Sixteen in St. Louis after they beat the best team in the nation. I’ve seen the Northern Iowan become a high quality, professional college newspaper. I’ve witnessed a silly little dance be made popular across the nation by the Panther student section. I even had the incredible privilege of meeting the First Lady. I’m sure many of you start the year by asking yourself, “What do I want to make of this year? What are my goals? How is this year going to be special?” Now that we are starting to get into the routine of the semester, the question should be “How can I make these goals a reality?” Just remember, when striving for these goals and creating your UNI experience, keep a healthy disregard for the impossible. Take Nelson Mandela’s advice: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” One of the many things I have learned at UNI is that whatever goals you have, big or small, are possible. I look forward to all of the exciting possibilities of the upcoming school year. Happy Friday!

FROM THE EDITORIAL STAFF
Stop living in a
suitcase A typical Friday at 3 p.m.: Classes begin to end for most students and they begin to prepare for the weekend ahead. More and more students can be seen lugging laundry and duffel bags down to their cars and slowly, one by one, the cars in the C lot leave, until the majority of them are gone. Whether going home or to another college, the fact is that a notable proportion of students choose not to spend their weekends at the University of Northern Iowa. Because of this phenomenon, UNI has gained the reputation as a “suitcase college.” This reputation needs to change. Without fully immersing oneself into this university, the college experience is minimized or lost. Immersing oneself includes experiencing UNI on the weekends. Staying at UNI for longer than five days a week can have a lot of benefits for students: it’s easier to make and keep friends, as weekends provide time to hang out; students can learn the area and find unique things to do in Cedar Falls, like eat cupcakes at Scratch Cupcakery, go paint pottery at Painting Picasso or bike on the biking trail; and, ultimately, with more students at UNI on the weekends more student organizations will hold events. As Drake Martin, assistant director of residence and education, said, “If your habit is going home, give staying around a try.” Of course it is important to have family connections and connections with old friends, but a student can have both. Instead of leaving every weekend or only sticking around for the major events like homecoming or Family Weekend, try staying for just a regular old weekend. Students might be surprised to find that a lot does go on. “There’s more going on here than not,” Lyn Redington, director of residence life, said. Martin suggests looking at the MyUNI Weekend newsletters that are sent out by email every Thursday to find things to do. Houses and residence halls also sometimes hold events. According to Redington, lots of Residence Life coordinators are
focusing on weekend events. For example, Lawther Hall had a lock-in last weekend, which 90 students attended. These are the types of events that students should take advantage of. If students do feel that there’s nothing to do here on campus, there is no one to blame but themselves. If students don’t stay, why would organizations hold events, only for few to attend? According to Campus Activities Board president Emma Drtina, CAB doesn’t have many programs on the weekends because, without students here, it’s hard to get people to come and hard to find students to run the event. “If students were interested, we’d definitely look into it,” Drtina said. Last semester, NISG started a program called Weekend Event Compensation, which provides funding to student organizations for events held on the weekends. “We felt that UNI’s students needed to have more opportunities provided for them on the weekends,” Speaker of the Senate Ryan Alfred said. “It gives students a reason to stay here on the weekends, whether they are a participant of the event or because they are a part of the organization (holding the event).” Organizations can get up to $300 in funding, including $200 for food and beverages, which isn’t normally funded by NISG. This program is a yearlong trial, so if student organizations don’t take advantage of it, the program will probably end, according to Alfred. This program is a perfect opportunity to get more students to stay on campus during the weekends or to get students who do stay here on the weekends more involved on campus. Student organizations should definitely take advantage of this program and hold events that would interest students in staying. Ultimately, students should try (just try!) staying on campus for a weekend, for the good of themselves and the good of the university.

FILM REVIEW
‘Our idiot brother’ - ‘everybody has one’ EMILY HEYER Film Critic
The tagline for “Our Idiot Brother” is “everybody has one.” Well, that may be so, but not everyone has one as completely loveable and sincere as Ned, played by Paul Rudd. The film begins with Ned selling weed to a uniformed cop. Ned falls for the cop’s “I’ve just had a rough week” routine and his good nature helps him out – and then the cop helps him into prison. After his stint in prison (where he won “most cooperative inmate” four months running), he goes back to his organic farm and finds that his girlfriend Janet (Kathryn Hahn, “Step Brothers”) has taken in another loveable hippie and worst of all, refuses to give Ned back Willie Nelson – his loveable golden retriever. Ned is then thrust into the lives of his three sis-
ters: overprotective mom Liz (Emily Mortimer, “Shutter Island”), bossy Vanity Fair writer Miranda (Elizabeth Banks, “30 Rock”) and wannabe stand-up comedian and mostly lesbian Natalie (Zooey Deschanel, “Your Highness”). What ensues is a comedic jump from sister to sister where Ned manages to mess up their lives with only the best intentions. What holds this movie together is the acting. Paul Rudd is the perfect mix of funny and sincere for this role. He brings out the best in his costars, making this a hilarious collaboration with enough surprising and poignant moments to make it different from the rest. It’s not a loud, in-your-face kind of comedy, but more of a subtle, somewhat clever flick that makes you laugh in spite of yourself. If you stop to think about it, you’d be annoyed

All I’m saying is don’t hold off developing male relationships because you don’t want to cause a rift in your romantic relationship. In fact, making some male friends right off the bat might be the best thing for you. It’ll give you some perspective. Long-distance relationships are messy; that’s a given.

with the earnestness of Ned, with his complete naïveté. But when you just sit back, relax and let Paul Rudd do his thing, it’s an enjoyable way to spend an hour and a half. Rudd is not the only comedic genius working on the film – and that makes it even better. Although the sisters are played with grace and talent, they still have enough comedic background to keep up with Rudd (like Banks’ “Zach and Miri Make a Porno”). The supporting characters, however, are pulled right out of comedy heaven. Natalie’s lawyer lover Cindy, played by Rashida Jones of TV’s “Parks and Recreation,” adds a subtle hint of humor in every scene with her giant glasses and stereotypical outfits. But, when called upon to go out with a bang, she does. Also from “Parks and See MOVIE, page 6

TEHRENE FIRMAN Campus Life Editor
Over the past summer, the University of Northern Iowa’s Facebook presence grew as just about everyone from the academic departments to dining centers jumped on the social media bandwagon. According to DeWayne Purdy, the electronic communication manager at University Relations, the accounts have become a valuable method of providing information to students and faculty alike. The power of social media may be new to some departments on campus, but not to everyone. “We’ve been using Twitter in University Relations since April 2009, and the Alumni Association has been working with LinkedIn for several years as well,” said Purdy. “Other departments have been adding the various social networks over the last several years. We’re currently working on adding more content to YouTube, especially student-generated content. We’re also evaluating a larger presence on FourSquare.” Having so many means of staying connected on campus “gives departments the opportunity to provide
information to a very specific audience, and to build community around their program, using the tools the students are using,” Purdy said.
“
Those efforts aren’t always measured by the number of ‘likes’ a page has.
”
Some departments are still new to the social media game, but Purdy says that doesn’t mean their efforts aren’t paying off. “Those efforts aren’t always measured by the number of ‘likes’ a page has,” said Purdy.

Trust me, the time will fly and you’ll be surrounded by so many people that you’ll be distracted most of the time. Shoot each other a text every so often just to say “hey,” but leave time for a conversation on the phone either later in the day or later in the week. Remember that you’re giving each other a little room to experience new things; you’re not ignoring each other completely. It’s a tricky task trying to balance giving the other one space

Recreation” is Adam Scott, who plays Miranda’s neighbor Jeremy. Full of sarcasm, he tries to have a typical, ManCode-following relationship with Ned – and it just goes up in hilarious flames. Providing the last sister with a husband, Steve Coogan (“Tropic Thunder”) plays Dylan, an
egotistical filmmaker who shows he has some balls when he takes Ned to work with him (see the film to get the joke). With such an amazing cast, it’s no surprise that this movie is really funny. Although not as full of laugh-out-loud gold, as say, “Anchorman” (but then again, what is?), or as embarrassingly naive and hilarious as “The 40 Year Old Virgin,”
it is nonetheless a solid comedy. And if you’re good at predicting, you won’t even be surprised with the cute ending. Because let’s be honest – you won’t go see this because the plot sounds original and provocative, or because you really love the director’s other work – it’ll be because you want to see Paul Rudd in action. And you won’t be disappointed.

“This is one of the largest single donations we’ve ever received,” said Darrell Taylor, director of the Gallery of Art. “We typically receive one or two art objects at once, sometimes a dozen or so; however, Ms. Iseminger’s donation numbered closer to 160 art objects.” Iseminger is a 1971 graduate of the UNI College of Business Administration with an accounting and general business emphasis. She became a CPA in 1972 and received her M.B.A. from the University of Chicago in 1982. From 1989 to 2004, she was the owner of Iseminger & Associates, and she has worked for Paulos & Baker specializing in auditing, taxation and quality control since 2004. On Wednesday, Aug. 31 at 7 p.m. in Kamerick Art Building room 111, the UNI alumna presented a lecture titled “UNI Accounting Blends with Art.” During the lecture, Iseminger spoke about her accounting career in Chicago as well as specific works of art she has acquired over the years. “More importantly,” said Taylor, “She spoke about the importance of being involved in your community, finding and developing

UNI and Iowa State will meet on the football field for the 27th time this Saturday. The Cyclones lead the all-time series 19-4-3.
“I don’t think it’s any secret. I have always believed that any field UNI steps on, we should have a chance to win that game. We are more concerned about how we play instead of who we play. It’s not about Iowa State, it’s about how we play. If we play well we can compete with the opponent we step on the field with.” Those were the words of Mark Farley, head football coach of the No. 7-ranked University of Northern Iowa Panthers, on Monday afternoon. The Panthers travel to Ames Saturday to face their in-state rivals, the Iowa State University Cyclones. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.
Despite outgaining the Cyclones in every offensive statistical category last season, the Panthers suffered a 27-0 shutout loss. That was in large part due to the five turnovers the Panthers committed, two of which were interception returns for touchdowns. “We made too many errors last year -- not just physical errors like fumbles and interceptions, we made mental errors … the game was over before it started,” said Farley. “We didn’t perform to the level that we wanted to perform and a lot of that had to do with what (ISU) did to us to create hesitancy, but at the same time we didn’t step on the field with See FOOTBALL, page 9

UNI continues their early season winning streak with 3-0 victory over Marquette 1

Northern Iowa Panthers 25 25 26 3 Marquette Golden Eagles 18 13 24 0 MAT MEYER Sports Writer
The University of Northern Iowa volleyball team continued their early season hot streak Monday night in Cedar Falls as they took down Marquette University 3-0 in their home opener. The Panthers (4-0) gave the home crowd a show by defeating the Golden Eagles with scores of 25-18, 25-13 and 26-24. Senior Bre Payton showed off her skills by recording 11 kills and dishing out 32 assists to her teammates. Payton has had some really great games to start the season and has helped propel the team to victory. “The first games of the year always help,” said Payton. “We’re going to learn more about ourselves, more about what we’re capable of doing and how to work it into the next few (games).” The early part of the season certainly has been look-
ing great for the Panthers, and they showed just how dominant they can be against Marquette, especially in the first two sets. The score was tied early on in the first set until UNI kicked it up a notch and went on a huge run to make the score 22-13. With some great play around the net, the Panthers topped off the Golden Eagles 25-18. The girls showed more of the same intensity in the second set of the night, thoroughly dominating after the score was tied at four apiece. UNI went on a 9-2 run to once again knock off Marquette 25-13. Payton showed her great passing skills with an assist to Meghan Lehman for the final kill of the set. The beginning of the third set was the only time that UNI looked sluggish against the Golden Eagles. Marquette came out of the locker room on fire and took an early lead of 4-1. Marquette still led UNI 15-9 later in the set before

momentum started to shift in the Panthers’ favor. “Our team talks about never giving up, no matter what the score is,” said head coach Bobbi Petersen. “It’s easy to say that, but I think they really showed that tonight and kept fighting when things weren’t going well for us.” The home crowd was as loud as ever as the Panthers began to pull back into the
match and eventually took the lead. The surge was led by none other than Payton, who had some of the key plays towards the end of the match that eventually led to the win. The Panthers clawed their way back to tie the game at 22-22, and after trading a couple more points, including a kill by Payton, the score was again tied at 24. “Win or lose, we’re still
going to try our hardest,” said Payton. UNI did just that at the very end of the third set. After an error by the Golden Eagles and yet another setending kill from Lehman, the Panthers achieved their fourth straight win of the season in front of a very excited home crowd.

the right sense of urgency.” Farley went on to compliment the Cyclones and their will to win under third-year head coach Paul Rhoads. “They believe they can win and they have a fight in them that is beyond just talent,” said Farley. “They will get after you and battle until the very end. They have great confidence when they play … the good teams have that attitude.” Rhoads had similar words to say about the Panthers Monday afternoon during the Cyclones’ weekly press conference. “Nobody has to tell our football team the challenges that they will be faced with this Saturday night,” said Rhoads. “UNI is a football team and a program that certainly understands how to win … with that in mind, we have to have an excellent week of focus and preparation.” Although the Cyclones hold a 19-4-3 advantage in the all-time series between the two schools, Farley feels the Panthers can match up well with their in-state rivals from the Football Bowl Subdivision if they can play to their strengths. “When you’re supposed-

UNI FOOTBALL FACTS:
*Against Iowa State: ISU leads the all-time series between the schools, 19-4-3. UNI’s last victory against Iowa State came in 2007 when they notched a 24-13 victory over the Cyclones. *Against the FBS: UNI is 20-63-5 against current
schools. Most of their success has come in the last 26 years, with a 9-20 mark against FBS FBS
schools since 1985. *Offensive gameplan: UNI is 60-3 in the Mark Farley era (2001-present) when scoring 30 or more points in a game. *Defensive gameplan: UNI is 62-4 in the Mark Farley era (2001-present) when holding opponents to 20 points or less. *Panther fans travel well: UNI’s trips to Ames in 2006 (55,518) and 2007 (56,795) helped set the Jack Trice Stadium attendance record each time. In UNI’s last 12 trips to Ames, the attendance has always been in excess of 40,000 spectators.
ly on a different level than they are, at a lower level, then you got to be sure to find your strengths and play to those strengths,” said Farley. If the Panthers want to head back to Cedar Falls with a victory after this weekend’s trip to Ames, quarterback Tirrell Rennie will have to be more of a dual-threat quarterback instead of simply relying on his legs to get the job done. “It’s (Tirrell’s) second year in our system and that
alone, I think, gives him an edge over last season,” said Farley. “We expect him to be able to manage our offense better than last year just because of the decisions he’ll make as a quarterback before the snap as much as during the play.” While Panther fans will have to wait until Saturday night to know whether or not their team has improved from last season, Farley says he knows one thing: “(Iowa State) will be prepared and our intent is that we will be as well.”

Along with Payton’s great play, Michelle Burow and Krista DeGeest
each contributed eight kills for UNI. The Panthers will be traveling to Delaware for the Asics Invitational this next weekend where they will be playing some tough competition. They defend their winning streak Friday afternoon when they play Florida State University at 3 p.m. “I think we have a lot of competition in Delaware (University) and Florida State. It’s exciting. You always want to play tough teams at the beginning of the season,” Payton said.
