The leaves are changing color and fall is on its way, which means the presidential race is about to heat up. Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump will spar in their first debate on Monday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. CT. The debate will be aired on various news networks. The first debate signals the closing stretch of what many have deemed a strange election cycle. Donna Hoffman, political science department head, expressed this sentiment, saying that she thinks the election as a whole has been “very unusual.” Brian Warby, political science professor, agreed,
Miracles for miles Students dressed in orange trotted and jogged across campus to support kiddos involved in Dance Marathon last Saturday. Dance Marathon (DM) is a fairly popular organization among UNI students, with a reported 302 members in the UNI student organization directory, and has raised nearly 1 million dollars for the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital over the past six years, according to their website.
saying, “It has been a very odd election.” However, the eccentricity of the election does not take away from its possible historical implications. “Maybe you’re electing the first woman president, maybe you’re electing the first president in the modern era who has no political experience,” Hoffman said. “Certainly it will be a very important election that we’ll look back on. Maybe for good reasons, maybe for bad reasons.” Hoffman went on to discuss her thoughts on each of the candidates. “You have Donald Trump. Being a very unorthodox candidate, he doesn’t have political experience; he’s
running a very unorthodox campaign,” Hoffman said. “You have Hillary Clinton. She’s the first female nominee of a major party, and so you have a lot of interesting dynamics that are going on. She’s running a much more traditional campaign.” Warby, who specializes in international relations, also shared his thoughts on the two nominees and their foreign policy. “Clinton has a very long track record. We can see what she’s done and what she’s supported and what she’s voted for or voted against, and her positions over 20-plus years,” Warby said. “She’s been pretty consistent for the most part […] She’s pretty hawkish on
foreign policy, but we know what to expect.” Warby went on to discuss his thoughts on Trump, saying, “His style is make big claims, shoot from the hip – very spontaneous without thinking all that carefully about some of the stuff that he says or even having that much background knowledge about some of the stuff he talks about.” Many UNI students have strong feelings about the election. Michael Ruccolo, sophomore social and behavioral science and political science double major, expressed concern over the two major nominees. See ELECTION, page 2

Although their “Big Event” is the one that raises the most amount of money, students involved in DM have already begun putting on smaller events, like the 5k, to raise even more money for these kids. According to junior early childhood and elementary education major and DM morale captain, Jessica Alexander, the event took place right here on UNI’s campus. Runners of all ages started at the alumni house, then
looped all around campus and ended back at the alumni house. Last year, Dance Marathon hosted a “Cookie 5k” where runners had to eat cookies while running. However, this year they decided to revert back to a regular 5k where runners were highly suggested to deck themselves out in the color orange. 94.5 KULT radio was also present to provide music. See DM 5K, page 5

The start of the 5k took off by Alumni House, where it also ended. The Miracles for Miles 5k is only one of many Dance Marathon events.

UNI weighs in on presidential debate ELECTION
“I truly believe that the two major candidates are unable to run the country – simply because one is a blatant racist and the other one is a blatant warmonger,” Ruccolo said. “I feel like more Americans should be looking into third parties. Jill Stein and Gary Johnson – both of them have good ideas.” Ruccolo urged students to vote their conscience and said he plans on voting for Green Party nominee Jill Stein. Joe Schmidt, sophomore accounting major, shared similar concern over both Trump and Clinton. “I think that we really could have done a lot better,” Schmidt said. “I believe Trump doesn’t know politics – he doesn’t know how to be diplomatic – and that’s what scares me. And I don’t trust Hillary.” Schmidt said he plans on voting third party and that he supports Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson. Polling data backs the feeling of disdain of both
candidates, especia lly among young voters. A recent Quinnipiac national poll found Clinton narrowly
beating Trump 41 percent to 39 percent, with Gary Johnson polling at 13 percent and Jill Stein pulling in 4 percent of support. However, among respondents ages 18 to 34 Clinton beats Trump 31 percent to 26 percent while Gary Johnson garners 29 percent of support, and Jill Stein receives 15 percent. In the poll, 54 percent of Clinton supporters said they are mainly voting against Trump, while 32 percent say they are mainly voting for Clinton. Sixty-six percent of Trump supporters said they are mainly voting against Clinton, and just 23 percent said they are mainly voting for Trump. In spite of this, each candidate has a strong group of supporters on campus working to elect their party’s nominee. Each group is preparing for the upcoming debate. Northern Iowa Democrats President Jack Ave discussed his thoughts on the upcoming presidential debate. “In Hillary Clinton’s senior year of high school, she was [on] the debate

I am confident that Hillary will win the debate and show the nation she is presidential material.” UNI College Republicans Chair Sydney Lundgren also commented on the debate, saying, “I think that Trump needs to talk more about his policies and how he is going to directly help the American people. I know that he is capable of it; I just would like to hear the detailed plan of action.” Hof fman emphasized the importance of student involvment in the upcoming election. “You may hate politics, but we have to have politics [and] we have to have politicians,” Hoffman said. “It’s much better to be involved and to make your voice heard.” Monday’s debate will be the first of four scheduled debates. The election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 4.

VOLUME 113, ISSUE 08
Vote for campaign finance reform A lot of people are talking about the ways in which the 2016 election is like no other ever before. But there’s at least one way it’s exactly the same. The extravagant amount of money involved in this election reflects years past. The cost to run for office in America has gone up yet again, and the remaining candidates are yet another pair of white millionaires trying to convince the nation that they know

what’s best for them. This election is on track to cost upwards of $8 billion – more than ever spent on a national election. As many of you know now, most of that money comes from a tiny group of superrich donors to ensure their interests are best served, despite comprising a very slight portion of the US population. Almost none of these donations come from students, young people or the vast majority of Americans. According to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, big donors dominate our elections – like individuals in the finance, insurance and real estate industries who have already given over $677 million to candidates. As a college student, this situation is frustrating to me. I’m angry I can’t compete with the political power of the ultra-rich to make my voice heard. To solve national problems like worsening climate change, systematic
discrimination and brutality, rising student debt, mass incarceration and growing income inequality, I know we need to get big money out. Despite my frustration, this year has also provided me with some hope. There seems to be a growing awareness and subsequent outcry from millions of Americans – young and old – who are fed up with repressed political influence. Lots of people, including some candidates, are talking about taking our democracy back from corporations and ultra-wealthy donors. And as a student, I recognize that I have a huge role to play. First, I can vote for candidates who support real solutions to the problem of big political money.

YouTube demonetization policy devalues speech Imagine if there was a dollar amount attached to every word that you said. As a member of the Northern Iowan staff, the currency of my words is that apparent to me. Besides print journalism, there are many different forms of speech people can make money from, including the highly popular format of YouTube. Taylor Lien, a freshman English and digital media leadership major, is committed to YouTube, but not for the financial aspect of it. “It’s just a really neat community,” Lien said. “There are so many things that I didn’t really know existed until I got into BookTube and YouTube in general.” Lien started her channel in 2014, but has been using the platform regularly since 2012. Lien discovered her niche in BookTube – a section of YouTube devoted solely to all things concerning books and their adaptations. “I have haul videos where I basically just talk about books that I buy,” Lien said. “I’ve read a little bit of everything and if I haven’t read it I’ve probably heard of it.”
All the topics Lien discusses on her channel come from outside sources, as do other YouTube videos — that has been a long-standing problem. YouTube is dependent upon content creators like Lien to bring people to their platform, but issues of fair use and copyright claims hurt this relationship. Fair use, defined in the US copyright laws, allows copyrighted content to be briefly quoted as long as it is followed by analysis of some sort like with news reporting and criticism. Cases of videos being demonetized due to dubious copyright claims finally led to YouTube amending their policy April this year to allow monetization of videos during copyright disputes. The most recent policy change to spark outrage from content creators is the new alerts about video demonization. This means videos were being demonized before, for advertisement reasons, but YouTube wasn’t making people aware of it. “I really didn’t know anything about it and I really don’t think that any of the bigger creators did,” Lien said. “There were a lot of people it really shocked to know that videos were getting demonetized and people that were making their living off of this were losing money because YouTube
YouTubers without a large enough audience to be able to pursue multiple revenue streams, according to Lien. Although YouTube is well within their rights to make this move, as a non-traditional media outlet, Lien doesn’t understand why they would want to subject themselves to a traditional media model.

Previous “forms” were on display for students to examine and hold, while he described his creative process. On Monday, students

Well-known businesses like Target, John Deere, TransAmerica and the U.S. Army talked with students about their potential futures within their company. Some companies even offered free pizza cutters, hand sanitizer, pens and frisbees galore. Alpha Phi kicked off their philanthropy week for Women’s Heart Health on Monday and held a “Jail

Estere Treimane, sophomore public relations major and UNI Right to Life member, said abortion is legal for up to nine months under federal law. “If my baby was due tomorrow, I could abort it today,” Treimane said. Roe v. Wade upholds that women have a constitutional right to abortion up until viability, or the the point at which the fetus is capable of surviving outside the womb — the 22nd or 24th week, typically. According to Roe v. Wade, the state may prohibit abortions unless it is in the best interest for the mother’s physical or mental health. Nineteen states in the U.S. have banned partial-birth, or late term, abortions, according to Guttmacher Institue’s website, a reproductive health organization.

It’s ‘Tebow Time’ for the Mets OPINION
RYAN HERRING
Sports Columnist
It is officially “Tebow Time” for the New York Mets organization as Tim Tebow begins his baseball career at the Mets’ instructional league this week. This is quite the change for a guy who won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 and went on to play quarterback in the NFL for multiple years. The former football phenomenon has switched sports and has everyone talking. Is this just a publicity stunt? Did they just sign him for marketing benefits and to increase ticket sales? Well, the Mets General Manager, Sandy Alderson, tried to clear things up with a statement. “While I and the organization are mindful of the novel nature of this situation, this decision was strictly driven by baseball.” Alderson said. “It is not driven by marketing considerations or anything sort.” Tebow responded to doubt-
ers. “This isn’t a publicity stunt, and it’s definitely not for money. This is a pay cut for me to do this. I understand how hard this is and that a lot of people think it’s impossible,” Tebow said. “But [I am] passionate about the game of baseball. I love it, and I want to pursue it.” This is genuinely a guy who is trying to chase his dreams. Tebow hung up the baseball cleats back in 2005 after a phenomenal season where he hit .494 as a junior and was named to the all-state team in Florida. He has been training throughout the entire last year in Arizona and Los Angeles to try and get that skill back. “The goal is to one day play in the bigs,” Tebow said. That’s a stretch for someone who has been out of the game for so long, but he is extremely athletic, committed and very competitive. Monday was Tebow’s first day as a pro baseball player. He

took the field in Port St. Lucie, Florida with nearly 600 fans and 70 media members in attendance. Many fans were wearing
his jersey and waiting for autographs. On day two, only about 250 fans and 30 media members
were in attendance and that is when Tebow was allowed to focus more of his attention on just being a baseball player. He had a lot more interaction with coaches, looked more relaxed and had three impressive practice rounds at the plate, which included a homerun over the right-field fence on his secondto-last swing. Tebow has the MLB world’s attention. As of Tuesday, the number one seller on MLB’s online store was the Tebow men’s jersey and the second biggest was the Tebow replica T-shirts. Now it’s time to just wait and see how he performs. There are several professional baseball players and MLB fans upset with all the attention Tebow is drawing to himself with his shift in sports. But Tebow responded with a
simple quote. “I don’t have to live my life based on how other people want me to live my life,” he said.

UNI volleyball prepares for MVC matchups BRENNAN WHISLER
Sports Columnist
The Panther volleyball team is traveling on the road this weekend after a 4-1 homestand at McLeod this past week. UNI has defeated Iowa State, North Dakota State, Northwestern, Syracuse and only lost to Illinois State. While starting conference play 0-1 isn’t ideal, UNI will be playing beatable teams and have a chance at rebounding to 2-1. Besides obtaining a more desirable record, UNI
will look to get in sync for next weekend’s home games. The Panthers first opponent is the Southern Illinois Salukis on Friday night. SIU matches UNI’s record at 9-5 exactly. SIU has some impressive losses, staying very competitive, versus top 25 Loyola and Dayton on the same day. It’s very similar to UNI’s Creighton and USC loss. The one thing they are lacking is quality. Where UNI has Kentucky and ISU, the Salukis will try to add UNI to their belt the same way. The
last deciding advantage would be momentum; UNI is on a three-game winning streak while SIU is on a two-game losing streak. UNI is on a roll and they will be hoping to stay that way into Homecoming weekend. UNI’s likely to win their first Missouri Valley Conference game of the season three sets to one. The Panthers will then travel to Evansville on Saturday. The Purple Aces started the season 0-5 and since then will have split their
last eight games to be 4-9 at the time of this article. Simply put, the Aces don’t have quality wins except for 3-2 win over Kent State, who is currently 7-6. That is the only team the Aces have beaten that have a winning record. Evansville will get a chance to improve their record before UNI by facing the 9-5 Drake Bulldogs on Friday. Regardless of what happens for the Panthers or the Aces on Friday, on Saturday UNI should walk out with
a sweep and it wouldn’t be suprising to see a few players hit a double-double or even a 20-20 from one of the more experienced players. UNI will be looking to walk out of this weekend unscathed and on a five game winning streak, but if nothing else they should collect their first MVC win and 10th overall ranking. Their next job will be to prepare for some decisive home games at Homecoming, Wichita State and Missouri State.
Lesjak and Yount earn MVC players of the week
OPINION
KEVIN DEITRICK
Sports Columnist
It has been an impressive run for the UNI women’s soccer team. They have won four of their last five games to put their record at 5-4-1. The Panthers are now sitting in second in the Missouri Valley Conference behind Drake, who is 7-11. UNI is currently second in the conference for shots per game with 15, they are first in total goals with 19 and first in goals per game at 1.90. Since taking over for senior Whitney Blunt, sophomore goalie Maddie
Lesjak has played strong enough to earn the MVC goalie of the week. The Panthers won both games last week against Kansas State and Western Illinois. Lesjak had only allowed one goal between both of the games and saved nine shots. Fellow sophomore Brynell Yount also received recognition for her performance by being awarded the offensive player of the week in the conference. In the game against Kansas State, Yount only had one shot in the game, but the Wildcats played strong defense, holding the Panthers to only nine shots total. Yount played against
Western Illinois, scoring her first two goals of the season, with three shots total. Yount is currently tied for third on the year in goals (2) and is sitting at fourth on the team in total shots (14). Lesjak has had some crucial saves since she received more playing time at the goalie position. With a record of 3-1, she totals 11 saves and a goal average of 1.50. The defense has been backing up Lesjak lately. They are also succeeding at getting the ball back to this elite Panther offense and away from their goalie.
