Runners meet the color of the rainbow KATHERINE JAMTGAARD Staff Writer
A confection of colors splattered University of Northern Iowa students during the 5Kolor Run on Sept. 23, as students raced to raise funds for the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital. Sponsored by UNI Dance Marathon, students raised $5,000 to go toward a new pediatric intensive care unit room for the children’s hospital. “I think what appeals to you (about the race) is that it was going to be everyone on campus and I thought the whole color run part of it was

Heterosexism still prominent among college students AMBER ROUSE
Staff Writer
Although young adults and the college population are more likely to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues than the rest of the general population, a study published recently by the Journal of Community Practice shows that “heterosexism” — a bias in favor of opposite-sex relationships — is still obvious among students. For the study, over 2,500 heterosexual students were surveyed. One in five were opposed or neutral to LGBT specific policies regarding employment and one in three were opposed or neutral to same-sex marriage and civil
unions. At the University of Northern Iowa, the presence of the LGBT commu-

early November in Maucker Union. Jordan Beardsley, a junior general studies major believes UNI students are becoming more accepting of the LGBT community. “A lot of kids our age seem to be more open to things that are different,” said Beardsley. “I think the rising support of students is really encouraging and it has helped people be comfortable with who they are.” Carissa Froyum-Roise, associate professor of sociology said incoming UNI students face ideologies they’ve never experienced at their hometown before. “College is a unique time during people’s lives,” said Froyum-Roise. “Students encounter ideas that they have not encountered before, and faculty and peers encourage them to think critically about social issues and to develop their own perspectives.

Court ruled on issues regarding federal benefits and marriage status that will make a difference for the families of LGBT individuals. Samesex families will no longer be penalized when bequeathing property to each other and international couples may apply for visas for their samesex partners, said FroyumRoise. “Despite these changes, I think it’s a mistake to think that as time goes by, heterosexism will disappear on its own,” said Froyum-Roise. “It’s something we have to actively work to combat through social policies that equal the playing field for gay, lesbian and queer individuals and their families.”

Chaos at Kenyan Mall following terroist attack Several stories collapse; at least 67 dead, 11 terrorists held ALAN BOSWELL
McClatchey Foreign Staff
NAIROBI, Kenya — With speculation rampant about the nationalities of the gunmen who seized control of a Nairobi shopping mall Saturday and executed scores of shoppers, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta declared Tuesday that the bloody siege was finally over, with five terrorists killed and 11 suspects taken prisoner. The Kenyan leader announced that 61 civilians and six soldiers had died during the brazen terrorist attack, the deadliest in the country in 15 years. The death toll was expected to rise, however; Kenyatta said investigators must now pick through the debris of the Westgate shopping complex — three of its floors collapsed — where more bodies are expected to be found. Dozens of people thought to have been in the mall when the attack began are still unaccounted for. At least 240 people were injured. “The terrorists and civilians are trapped in the debris,” Kenyatta said. “These cowards will meet justice, as will their accomplices and patrons, wherever they are.” The capture of 11 of the suspected attackers should go a long way toward helping authorities learn their identities. Al-Qaida’s affiliate in Somalia, al-Shabab, has claimed responsibility for the attack, calling it retribution for Kenya’s invasion of Somalia in an effort to crush al-Shabab. But rumors have been flying since Sunday that at least some of the Nairobi assailants grew up outside Somalia, including in the United States — something of paramount interest to officials in countries that have taken in hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees in the past two decades. At least 20 men have left Minnesota alone since 2007 to join al-Shabab, in what the FBI calls one of the largest recruitment drives in U.S. history by a foreign terrorist group. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said this week that “at least 40 to 50 Somali-Americans” had gone to Somalia to be trained. Others doubt the authenticity of the reports of Westernized attackers, which originated at a time the Kenyan government couldn’t give the exact number of assailants waging terror in the mall.

Bottom right: Kenyan police officers rest as they try to sort through the aftermath of the attack.
“Suggestions that British and American nationals were part of the Westgate attackers are to be treated with caution,” Valentina Soria, a security analyst at the defense consultancy IHS Jane’s, said in an emailed statement. “It is surprising that Kenyan authorities were able to provide rather detailed information on some of the attackers so early in the investigation,” Soria said. The attack drew substantial attention from U.S. and other intelligence agencies, reports indicate. The command center for the Westgate operations was swarmed with a host of American military officials assisting the Kenyan operation, according to two people who visited the center. They agreed to speak only on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to talk to a reporter. Israel is thought to have provided advice on the counterterrorism operations; the Westgate complex is Israeliowned. The scale of death was especially shocking because, unlike most terrorist attacks with such high casualties, no major explosive was used. The attackers exacted their death through gunfire and grenades, killing swiftly and

efficiently. Kenyatta, whose nephew and nephew’s fiancee died in the attack, declared three days of national mourning in memory of the dead. His speech marked an end to the bloody, drawn-out ordeal after much confusion about what was taking place. On Monday evening, the Twitter accounts of Kenya’s Interior Ministry and Defense Forces, as well as some local news outlets, declared that the mall had been fully secured. On Tuesday, however, more gunshots could be heard from the mall, where smoke still spewed from Monday’s fire. Analysts speculated that the attack might mark al-Shabab’s transition from a movement founded primarily to take down a Western-backed government it viewed as a puppet of the despised neighboring Ethiopians to an inter-
national terrorist movement set on carrying its violence around the world. That change was presaged last year when Ahmed Abdi Godane, an al-Shabab leader, declared loyalty to al-Qaida. This year, Godane emerged on top of the Somali organization after a brutal power struggle that saw several rivals either killed or go into hiding. If that’s true, it would place al-Shabab with al-Qaida’s Yemen affiliate, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, as among al-Qaida’s most dangerous branches. Whether that means the group is stronger or weaker is hotly debated. Ken Menkhaus, a Somali expert who is teaching at North Carolina’s Davidson College, recently said that after losing territory and popular support in Somalia, the group was lashing out like a wounded animal backed into a corner. Writing for Think Progress, a blog published by the Center for American Progress, a research center in Washington, Menkhaus called the Nairobi attack an “act of desperation” intended to “provoke a violent backlash against ethnic Somalis by the Kenyan government.” Cedric Barnes of the
Brussels-based International Crisis Group, which tracks conflicts around the world, said the opposite was true. The attack signifies that Godane and his global jihad theories have cemented control over the organization, he said. “Al-Shabab is under pressure, but to say that this is a last act of desperation is to misunderstand what Godane has always been,” Barnes said. Rashid Abdi, a prominent Nairobi-based Somali analyst, is even more pessimistic, saying that a new diaspora-led group has been allowed to form a direct connection to al-Qaida within al-Shababcontrolled areas of Somalia. “This is a new game, and a new outfit,” Abdi said. “This was definitely a broader operation and very sophisticated.” Abdi pointed in part to the al-Shabab spokesman for the attack, Abu Omar, who speaks in an impeccable British accent. “This is an extremely sophisticated person who was raised in the West and knew what he was talking about,” Abdi said. How many of the assailants, if any, grew up in the United States and Europe is a question whose answer may help determine whether that theory is true.

Explore UNI and find your Chancey COREY COOLING
coolingc@uni.edu
The college years are truly a transformative period. Many of us go in as brighteyed high schoolers and find ourselves years later as budding professionals trying to make our way in the world. As a senior I thought it might be appropriate to look back and appreciate the many people that have shaped me through these years. In particular, I’ve come to realize much of my growth and development has taken place outside the classroom. I’m going to tell you about a person who I haven’t even taken a class from but has had an exceptional amount of influence on me in my time here. He is the true embodiment of a gentleman and a scholar; endlessly cheerful in addition to a tireless devotion to student success. In an often intimidating atmosphere, he is always engaging and easy to approach, the epitome of an educator. UNI is full of hidden gems, and too often they go undiscovered and underappreciated. Professor Clifton Chancey, this column is for you. I first met this man as a high school senior on a visit to UNI’s campus to interview for a scholarship. Feeling a bit stiff in the suit that I was wearing for the first time, I began the day walking around the McLeod Center. Cheerfully manning his table, he struck up conversation with
me about my background and interests. Over the whirring of sumo-robots, he spoke to me about all the great things UNI had to offer despite my total lack of interest in his department (at the time.) After learning of my scholarship interview, he revealed to me that he previously served on the same scholarship committee. In the midst of my shock, he coached me up with some of the old questions (“What kind of fruit would you be?”) and wished me the best of luck. Not only did my confidence skyrocket, but I also got a glimpse of how important student success is not only to him, but to all faculty at this university. A year later, I found myself with a double major and very little clue as to what I wanted to do after graduation. While walking past Chancey’s open door of the department office many times, stopping in to catch up from time to time was inevitable. While the topics varied he would always listen, challenge my thinking and push me to keep aiming higher. All the while, the underlying passion for student excellence was unmistakable. These conversations led me to pursue a job doing

research, something I’ve developed such a passion for that I can’t imagine doing anything else. His impact on my life and goals are undeniable, and there aren’t words to describe my gratitude towards him. He goes the extra mile for me and my fellow students constantly. From arranging a way for me to take two classes scheduled at the same time to making personal recommendations (without my knowledge) he is truly a wizard behind the curtain. In my time here, I’ve only just begun to appreciate the mountain of work done behind the scenes. People like Chancey are truly the lifeblood of this univer-
sity and what make a place like UNI so special. These examples, few as they are, constitute mere drops in an ocean of the positive influences amassed over a long school career. As I go on to begin a career, Chancey will always stand out to me not only as a mentor, but as a shining example of a dedicated educator and scholar. How different would my life be if I had never introduced myself in the McLeod Center? I shudder at the thought. Doubtless, there are many students at UNI who have had similar life-changing experiences through relationships with staff and faculty. We have countless world-
class educators at UNI. Take advantage of them. Initially, it is scary for students to approach and get to know professors, but the benefits are incalculable. Sure, maybe you’ll land a research gig or get a good recommendation, but getting to know your professors is much more than that. The lessons you learn from them both as professionals and as people are invaluable parts of the college experience. After all, the reason we are here is to learn as best we can inside and outside the classroom. UNI is truly a special place where these kinds of experiences are possible. Go find your Chancey.

UNI teams up in the fight for breast cancer awareness BEN LLOYD
Sports Writer
These days in athletics, it’s hard to tell what team one is actually rooting for. Schools like the University of Oregon and University of Maryland have proven that wearing a consistent uniform is no longer protocol in NCAA sports. Now, that trend has invaded the University of Northern Iowa. The Panther football team, volleyball team and women’s soccer team plan on wearing pink along with the traditional school colors of purple and gold in October games to help raise notice and money for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

According to BreastCancer. org, one out of every eight women in the United States develop invasive breast cancer, and one out every one thousand men develop it. “I think athletics help
spread awareness about breast cancer because of the number of people they draw in and fans they allow us to get ahold of at one time and get informed about BCA and how to help with it. It allows for
a people-helping-people situation to occur and that makes it a good cause for both sides,” said John Eby, assistant athletic director of marketing. < See PINK-OUT, page 9

The Panthers moved up two spots after the first two rounds of play on Monday at the Marilynn Smith Invitational. The University of Northern Iowa women’s golf team finished in 10th place. The team’s best round of play was the third round on Tuesday, when it posted a total score of 329. The team’s previous scores of 337 and 324. The women’s team recorded a total score of 990 for the tournament. UNI was 14 strokes away from ninth-place University of North Texas. Kansas University won the tournament with an overall score of 910. Kaylee Benson led the Panthers with a total score of 241, posting a three-round line of 82-78-81. She tied for 26th place on the individual leaderboard. Alex Zenor followed Benson with a total score of 245. Her line of 85-82-78 tied for 38th individually. Sarah Boss penciled in 86-82-79 over three rounds, which resulted in a total score of 247 and a tie for 43rd place. Jamie Ehrhart and Sonja Przybylski finished in 63rd and 73rd place, respectively. The women’s golf team next competes in the Oral Roberts University Shootout in Tulsa, Okla., on Sept. 30.

To raise awareness about breast cancer, the UNI volleyball team will wear pink uniforms for their upcoming home match against Missouri State University on Saturday. During the match, pink apparel worn by the volleyball team will be auctioned off. All proceeds will benefit Colleges Against Cancer, a nationwide collaboration of college students, faculty and staff that works to implement the American Cancer Society’s programs. Before the volleyball game is the UNI football game against McNeese State University, and fans are encouraged to wear pink to both games. Students can purchase a pink-out T-shirt from Students Today Alumni Tomorrow. University Book & Supply will also sell commemorative pink T-shirts, with proceeds going to the Beyond Pink Team, a nonprofit organization that provides breast cancer prevention, education, support and advocacy to the the Cedar Valley community. The women’s soccer team is also jumping in on the fight against breast cancer, as they will incorporate pink into their home uniforms when they take on St. Ambrose University at home Oct. 23. “I think this will help with the awareness of the cause of breast cancer,” said Eby. “There will be a video played during the (football) game that will help inform people on what organizations they can get a hold of that can help with getting information and treatment for breast cancer awareness.”

auctioned off a dinner with Manziel for $20,000. He will see none of that. TAMU is the latest in a long line of universities to benefit from their star players. In 2012, only 23 of 228 athletic departments at NCAA Division-I public schools generated enough money to cover their expenses. Even if universities wanted to pay their athletes, there is absolutely no way they could afford it. This is why the NCAA should switch to the Olympic model. All U.S. Olympians earn a medal bonus for each medal won. They receive $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze. Other than that, Olympians do not earn a dime for Olympic competition. The only direct income Olympians receive is from

corporate sponsorships, and only the best receive these. Michael Phelps, for instance, is only able to support himself while training for the Olympics because of his sponsor, Speedo. If the NCAA were to switch to this model, it would solve the athlete payment issue, and universities would not have to pay athletes more money in stipends, which is being proposed. Athletes would be able to pursue sponsorships and not worry about NCAA violations that could keep them from playing. It is not ethical to prevent someone from making money off his or her own name. If Adidas wants to pay a student athlete to be in their commercial, they should be able to do it. The Olympic model leaves everything to the open market, something that every other student at each school enjoys. It is a tough sell because at the end of the day, athletic departments prefer to control all possible revenue, but this is the right way to go. This model would not solve every issue with the NCAA, but it would be a solid step in improving it as a whole.

Coaches lack punishment for transferring schools SEAN DENGLER
Sports Columnist
Wes Washpun and Paul Jesperson are two basketball players who left their past universities and found greener pastures at the University of Northern Iowa. As transfers, they are forced to sit out a year. These players will help the Panthers, but in the grand scheme of college sports there is something wrong with the transfer process. While transfer students are forced to sit out a year, sadly their coaches are not when they move to a different school. In Division I, Steve Alford, who signed a large contract at University of New Mexico, left a year later for his own betterment. For a coach to leave on his own terms while a student athlete cannot does not make sense. It is especially bad when coaches move on to better opportunities and their past employers get sanctioned. Coaches Pete Carroll and John Calipari, among others, have provided their universities success in the short term but have since sullied their image in the big picture. These types of coaches have not been punished for their actions. They were able to leave before their universities got in trouble for their wrongdoings. To solve the problem of coaches improving their
long-term gains by cheating in the short term, three rules need to be implemented. One, if coaches are found guilty after “suspiciously” leaving their universities before the schools are caught for cheating, the coach should be banned from the sport for a year. Coaches should not be paid or compensated during the ban. Two, if employers of coaches have games vacated during the coaches’ time there, the coaches should be required to pay back their salary in full for all of the vacated games. It is unacceptable for a coach to run a dirty program, leave and not be punished. Three, coaches should not be allowed to leave their job after signing a contract barring personal hardship. Coaches should be expected

to fulfill their contractual obligations. These rules would prevent coaches from taking advantage of their universities to better their own aims. If student athletes are expected to honor transfer rules, coaches should be expected to honor rules that protect a university from having their image tarnished.

HOROSCOPES
By Nancy Black Tribune Content Agency (MCT) Today’s Birthday (09/27/13). The Full Moon shines on your education and creative skills this month, highlighting exploration all year. Assume new authority. Make changes at home. Set lofty goals. Stick with what you know works, and learn new tools and solutions. Travel and adventure call. Grow connections, especially with a special someone. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 5 -- Stick with your beliefs. Follow a visionary, but keep your own eyes open. Know what you’re talking about. Continue to increase delegation. Proceed with determination. Cut the fluff. It’s not a good time to travel. Watch out.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -Today is a 6 -- Don’t try to get blood from a turnip. Finish an old project. Keep your money in your pocket, and avoid financial risk. Your work impresses the judges. Go for substance over symbolism. Don’t talk about it. Gemini (May 21-June 20) -Today is a 7 -- Use your imagination. Your view is visionary. Share your dreams. Listen to a loved one’s considerations or complaints without getting intimidated. Learn from somebody else’s mistakes. Get their partnership. Opposites attract. Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Keep your financial objectives in mind. Continue to decrease your obligations in the coming week. Consider a wide variety of options. Answer correspondence. Stash away something of great value. Walk
carefully. Watch your step. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Write a fictional piece. To get out of the box, go over the wall. Others are giving you a boost. Don’t let them spend your money. Hold firm. Continue to increase attention to finances. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Upgrade communications technology. You’re doing better with less effort. A move may be required.

Only buy what you can’t get in trade. No need for new toys. The old ones are fine. Check out options to improve your home. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 5 -- The trickster is at work now. A neighbor has a possible solution. Renew a bond. Continue to increase your wealth this week. Be flexible without capitulating. It could get chaotic. Not everyone wants to hear about it. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Count your earnings, and stay optimistic. You’re about to find out more than you wanted to know. The
truth revealed is much less scary than the unknown. Don’t believe everything. Decrease outside activities. Adapt to new requirements. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is an 8 -- An opportunity holds promise and is worth pursuing. Fictional characters speak to you. Decrease expenses, and don’t lend. Encourage, don’t force. Stop worrying. Relax and enjoy it. Run errands. Everybody wants you. You don’t have to do anything. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Continue to decrease your stack of unfinished tasks.
