U.S., int’l students bond UI works on its alcohol stance

The Friends and Neighbors program aims to connect international and U.S. students through a pen pal program and in-person events on campus.

University of Iowa freshman Yaqiong Wang came from China to Iowa City with competing feelings of nervousness and excitement. Now thousands of miles from home, she signed up for new UI program in hopes of finding her place on campus.

“I was a bit nervous,” she said. “We have many things different, different culture. If I signed up for this program I can make friends with American[s], which will help me to understand their culture and also practice my English.”

The UI’s new Friends and Neighbors program paired more than 200 international and U.S. students over the summer as pen pals. The partners were introduced to each other at an event Sunday.

Nearly 200 people from all over the world piled into the Currier Hall multipurpose room on Sunday. Wang and her pen pal, UI freshman Hannah Altmaier, said they automatically clicked.

“She is a great match for me, so I was really excited,” Altmaier said. “We’ve been talking about what we are doing here and shopping.”

Andrew Freeman, an assessment and evaluation specialist for the UI Center for Diversity and Enrichment, organized the new program after his research revealed a gap between international and UI students.

“I’d been hearing from various sources that it has been hard for international students and U.S. students to get connected and to make friends with each other,” he said.

University of Iowa officials are concerned about whether their stance on drinking is clear to students following the renewal of the school’s contract with Anheuser-Busch this summer.

Every undergraduate student at the University of Iowa received an email on Aug. 24 from Tom Rocklin, the vice president for Student Life, containing a survey about how students perceive the university’s message and its stance on alcohol use.

“In the years that we’ve been trying to reduce alcohol harm, we’ve never really checked to see if students understand our position,” Rocklin told The Daily Iowan.

Rocklin said with this past summer’s renewal of the school’s contract with Anheuser-Busch, he began to wonder if the UI was being clear about its position.

“It got me thinking about how well our message is understood and to be clear, our message is when students choose to use alcohol, we want them to use it legally and safely,” he said.

Approximately 1,800 students have already responded to the survey, he said.

The contract between Anheuser-Busch and Learfield Communications Inc. — the sports-marketing company representing the Hawkeye Athletics Department — was renewed in June. Anheuser-Busch can use the Tiger Hawk logo in advertising so long as a message about responsible drinking appears with it.

Learfield will pay the Athletics Department $114 million through 2026. The contract will provide $43,000 for the UI’s alcohol-harm-reduction plan in its first year, the DI has previously reported.

Film examines military assault Bike

The Bijou was silent at the end of the première of The Invisible War on Aug. 24. Around 20 people attended the 7 p.m. showing of the documentary examining the

problem of sexual harassment in the military.

The film began with historical ads promoting equality for both men and women in all branches of the U.S. military. Cheerful music and smiling men and women are portrayed serving their country with duty, diligence, and pride. The remainder of the film is a stark contrast.

Statistics such as “Around 500,000 women have been assaulted in the U.S. military,” and “80 percent of assault survivors don’t ever report what happened to them,” appeared between personal interviews of veterans who were assaulted during their service.

Foggy at first, then sunny, breezy.

The Invisible War received the Sundance audience award for U.S. documentary at this year’s festival.

Film producer Amy Ziering said she did not expect the film to gain any attention because of the difficult topic.

The entire process of shooting the film was unexpectedly difficult for Ziering. Ziering approached interviews with care for emotional safety.

She said hearing the stories of people whose lives have been ruined by sexual assault changed the way she saw the topic.

The interviews in The Invisible War are mainly of women, but the documentary also discusses men who have been sexually assaulted.

“There is definitely more stigma [of homosexuality] attached to the male side of the issue. The male discussion of sexual assault is even more difficult to approach,” she said.

Ziering said that her hope is for policy changes that will

apply to both male and female victims.

“There was a lot of debate about how much to include of male victims. It was eventually decided by Kirby [Kirby Dick, director] that the audience response would be more receptive if mostly women cases were shown,” she said.

According to the documentary, the military has several programs in place for sexual assault victims, but they are less effective than they could be. Reporting such issues is difficult for victims due to the chain of command structured within the military.

City officials are planning to renew Iowa City’s designation as a Bicycle Friendly Community this winter, but some local bicycle advocates say there’s room for improvement in the city’s existing infrastructure plan.

The League of American Bicyclists offers the Bicycle Friendly Community Program as a way to recognize communities that actively support bicycling. The program offers four levels of designation: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Iowa City’s current bronze-level designation is due for renewal this winter, and city planner Kristofer Ackerson said the city hopes to obtain a silver designation after the reapplication process.

“Every three years, you have to renew your designation,” Ackerson said. “Hopefully, in another three years, we’ll be a gold, and then a platinum.”

Ackerson also said the city will cite re-

Law schools see falling enrollment, rising tuition

UI College of Law officials said the decreasing number of available jobs for law students after graduation is one reason for the declining enrollment.

By Anna Theodosis anna-theodosis@uiowa.edu

Despite a decline in enrollment, law-school tuitions have been on the rise nationally for the past few years, the National Law Journal reports, and the University of Iowa is no exception.

Students and faculty at the UI College of Law all gave reasons on why fewer students are applying — the two most common reasons being rising tuition and the decreasing number of available jobs after graduation.

Executive Council of Graduate and Professional Students President Michael Appel said it is no surprise that enrollment has dropped because of the cost of school, but tuition is not the only reason students are second-guessing themselves when it comes time to apply.

“The rising cost of tuition and the fact that it’s becoming more and more difficult for law students to get jobs is definitely a reason that people are thinking twice about applying,” the law student said. “The economy has been getting better these last few years.

There are more law jobs now but still not enough.”

The American Bar Association released the average cost of law-school tuition from 1985-2011 in June. In 1985, the average price in-state students would have had to pay to attend a public law school was $2,006 — out of state was $4,724. In 2011, that number increased to $22,116 for in-state students and $34,865 for outof-state students.

Appel said the economy took a toll on tuition and enrollment at the UI law school.

“Before the bubble burst in the economy, people thought that going to law

school was a guarantee that you’ll get a job, but it’s not anymore,” he said.

“When people think twice, they tend to weigh their options and decide if it’s right for them.”

UI Clinical Professor of Law Lois Cox said she has noticed these trends affect the college.

“It just seems to me that it’s largely a function of the economy that people are unwilling to incur that and they are just in general behaving cautiously with that money,” she said.

“I think Iowa is a relatively low priced institution, but there’s still significant cost to it.”

The current tuition rates at the UI College of Law are $27,344 for residents and $47,792 for nonresidents. As of this month, the entering class size in the law school is 155 students. In 2011, 180 students were in the entering class, and in 2010, the number was 203.

Both Cox and Appel said the college has done

a good job of responding to the current state of the economy.

“Our statistics are still pretty good,” Cox said. “I think our school has done a pretty good job of helping our graduates find work.”

Appel said he thinks more colleges and universities should follow what the UI has been doing.

“The law school is responding to the job market, which means taking in less students,” he said. “I think if other law schools aren’t doing this, they should be. Whether that’s doing the exact same thing Iowa is doing or just making sure they are responding to the state of the economy and the job market.”

According to the UI College of Law website, out of 183 College of Law graduates in 2011, 168 were employed nine months after graduation.

invisible war

Continued from 1

Continued from 1

The U.S. military operates under self-governance, and commanders have the ultimate say in how an assault case is handled, and they can choose to drop all allegations at their own discretion.

The Invisible War has made headway to transfer court power to outside the military.

After Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta saw the documentary on April 4, he called for an immediate change to take the ability to prosecute cases of sexual assault away from military commanders.

“I hope that the film is a catalyst for change- real change for the military in addition to how crime is viewed, and what help is available for survivors,” Ziering said.

The Bijou showing of the film led to a group discussion, and resources

SURVEY

Continued from 1 many community members — including members of the city and university’s Partnership for Alcohol Safety — were in disagreement over whether the agreement reflected positively on the University’s drinking stance.

Jeffery Cox, a UI history professor on the Presidential Committee on Athletics, argued the contract detracts from the Athletics Department’s achievements.

“This beer sponsorship decision undermines our ability to defend the integrity of the athletics program to the public and diverts attention from the good things about college athletics,” he said in July.

Johnson County prosecutor Janet Lyness said displaying a UI symbol alongside alcoholic logos sends the wrong message.

“I think it’s a really bad idea,” she said in July. “It looks like the University of Iowa is promoting it.”

But President Sally Mason defended the contract in a statement.

The Invisible War aired at the Bijou on Sunday. The film highlights the problem of rape in the U.S. military. (The Daily Iowan/Joshua Housing) were available after the first showing. University Counseling Service as well as the Women’s Resource and Action Center had support waiting outside the theater.

Linda Stewart Kroon, the Women’s Resource and Action Center director, said the film was “very difficult to watch. The pain and suffering is considerably large and widespread.” She noted that the scale of the problem surrounding sexual harassment within the military is “shocking.”

Paula Keeton of Uni-

versity Counseling Services said this is an issue that is even prevalent in the Iowa City community.

Keeton said that counseling service sees about 40 veterans each year, and although she cannot specify how many have been victims of sexual assault during service, about half of the veterans report stress-related trauma.

“I felt empathy, disgust, and shock. The personal stories are impactful,” Keeton said.

The Invisible War will show at the Bijou until the end of August; it costs $3 for students.

“The requirement that the possible use of the Tigerhawk logo be accompanied by the phrase ‘Responsibility Matters’ is consistent with our alcohol harm reduction initiative,” Mason said. “The university will continue to emphasize that students and fans should consume alcohol only in a legal, safe, and responsible matter.”

Rocklin created the survey with Sarah Hansen, the UI Student Life’s director of assessment and strategic initiatives.

The survey sent out was the first of its kind and the results will help guide the Office of Student Life in clarifying their stance on student alcohol use.

“The initial survey will help establish a baseline,” UI Spokesman Tom Moore said.

A second survey will be sent out later this year to show if the UI has clarified their stance to students.

“I think reducing dangerous drinking has been a real focus of the University over the past several years,” Moore said.

Moore maintains that much progress has been made in the past.

High-risk drinking by

UI students is the lowest it has been in 10 years, but Moore also admits that the school has a ways to go and wants UI officials to be clear about their message that excessive illegal drinking is dangerous.

Some students on campus confirmed Rocklin’s fears that the UI hasn’t always been clear about its stance on alcohol.

“I’ve gotten kind of mixed messages,” UI freshman Mitchell Coleman said.

UI junior Colleen Peters doesn’t understand why the university has a contract with Anheuser-Busch if they’re trying to rid students’ perception that the UI is a party school.

“Personally I think the whole deal with Budweiser … is a bit hypocritical,” she said.

However, UI sophomore Brittany Cassel said the university’s stance on drinking is clear because of the College Expectations course first-year students are required to take before starting classes.

“They do want to educate incoming students about alcohol safety,” she said. “They do provide us with the tools and the knowledge that we need.”

Freeman found the gap is partly because international students tend to be more academically focused and U.S. students are more social.

“I’m not surprised,” said UI freshman and program participant Kyle Stead.

“Since international kids come from overseas to come to school, they take their academics seriously, as a No. 1 priority.”

In fall 2011, 10.6 percent of the UI’s 30,893 students came from foreign countries, according to the Registrar’s Office. Those students hailed from 100 different countries.

Freeman’s research also found that both international students and U.S. students wanted to get to know each other. However, students were having trouble accomplishing this on their own.

“What they needed was a process to make that happen,” he said. “That’s where I was thinking how to get that done and so I came up with the idea for the Friends and Neighbors Day program.”

bikes

Continued from 1 cent improvements in bicycle infrastructure in its application for renewal, including the reversion of Washington Street to accommodate two-way traffic downtown, as well as the elimination of moped parking on downtown bike racks and the addition of more covered bicycle racks in downtown parking ramps.

Another improvement highlighted in the reapplication process has been the addition of “sharrows,” or shared-lane arrows, on Dodge Street, though this has been the source of some frustration in the local cycling community. “[The sharrows] all the way against the curb. A bike has no problem going 20, 25, 30 down Dodge, and they’re expected to be like 6 inches from the curb with cars that are also going to be passing?” said Michael Chamberlain, the owner of the Broken Spoke, 602 S.

The Daily Iowan - Iowa City, Iowa - Monday, August 27, 2012 - 3

The program is loosely based on another Center for Diversity and Enrichment program in which college students write to fourth-graders and later meet on campus.

“I thought it would be nice if international students and the U.S. students started writing to each other before they got to campus and then when they got here they could meet,” Freeman said. “So that would be a more formal way for them to be more comfortable and relaxed about knowing somebody before they got here.”

With help from Lee Seedorf, the assistant director of the International Student and Scholars Services, Freeman was able to put the program together in two weeks.

In order to get the program running Freeman put together an application for students. While all U.S students were accepted, not all international students could be because more international students applied.

Despite having to turn down international students, Freeman exceeded his goal of 100 international students and 100 U.S. students. In total Freeman matched 206 students —

103 from each side of the world — and had to stop taking participants for

Dubuque St. Chamberlain, whose shop sponsors Think Bicycles, a coalition that promotes bicycle culture in Johnson County, said he called Ackerson that morning when he arrived at the shop.

“It turns out that the contractor they hired to paint the sharrows did it wrong,” Chamberlain said.

“What they were doing was putting the stencil right up against the curb.”

Pete Hartley, a mechanic at The Broken Spoke, said he was also taken aback by the placement of the sharrows.

“The thing about sharrows, they’re supposed to say this is a good route, this is a safe route — but on Dodge, you’re riding in the gutter,” he said.

Chamberlain said guidelines state that sharrows are to be placed a minimum of 4 feet from the curb, measured from the center of the sharrow, but he emphasized that’s the minimum requirement.

“There’s no reason those sharrows shouldn’t be smack dab in the right

lane,” he said. “That’s one of the things Think Bicycles is going to push for, having the Dodge sharrows fixed, just having them bigger and in the middle of the lane.”

He said after his call, the rest of the sharrows were painted the correct, 4-foot distance from the curb.

Ackerson said the city has more improvements planned, including a recommendation for a “road diet,” or the transitioning of a roadway from four lanes of traffic to three.

Ackerson also said one recommendation in the city’s plan is for the installation of designated bicycle routes, which he said would be chosen based upon their suitability.

“We’re not going to make a bike route on Burlington,” he said, adding part of the problem concerning bicycle traffic is the influx of new students each fall, who may be unaware of traffic patterns and may therefore find it difficult to ride their bikes around town.

the program.

In total the program cost $450, including the room and supplies. The program was a pilot this year and was only available to freshman.

Freeman hopes to expand the program by opening it up to students of all class levels.

“One of the things I realized when I did the program this year is that a lot of students would like to know more about the university before they get here and maybe if I paired first year students with older students, then they could get some of their questions answered from older students who have already been here,” Freeman said.

For some students, the new program yielded edu-

cational benefits as well as social ones.

“It helped to come in here knowing someone in my grade really well, knowing a bit about another culture, and kind of getting the experience of another culture [without] getting on a plane having to go 18 hours,” Altmaier said.

Editorial

Unite around bipartisan support for wind-energy tax incentives With still more than two months left until Election Day, the great mud fight for the presidency is barreling through such swing states as Ohio, Nevada, and, of course, Iowa, turning high-school gyms into bully pulpits and sullying prime-time television with partisan agitprop. President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney have both spent time in Iowa in recent weeks, with the president scheduled to return for an event at Iowa State University on Tuesday.

A return to Iowa for Obama almost certainly means a return to what has become one of his favorite regional talking points: extending federal tax breaks for producers of wind energy. As it stands, the federal government provides a 2.2 cent tax break per kilowatt hour generated to wind-energy producers. The incentive, which is extremely popular in Iowa, is due to expire at the end of this year.

The presumptive Republican candidate, former Gov. Romney, has expressed his disapproval of federal subsidies for wind energy, citing the tax break as an unnecessary intervention in the marketplace.

Romney’s official energy policy, as stated on his website, cites “the failure of windmills and solar plants to become economically viable or make a significant contribution to our energy supply” as an example of why the government should not seek to subsidize pet industries.

The impact of wind energy on Iowa suggests, however, that Romney’s dismissal of wind energy tax credits may have been premature. A 2010 study by the Iowa Policy Project noted that Iowa has the second largest wind-energy production capacity in the nation and that 20 percent of Iowa’s energy comes from wind. The wind-energy sector also employs approximately 3,000 full-time workers in Iowa.

In our state, where wind enjoys bipartisan support,

Romney’s energy policy may become a political albatross.

A July survey of Iowans conducted by Public Opinion Strategies for the American Wind Energy Association found that 85 percent of Iowans, including 75 percent of those who identified themselves as Republicans, think that wind energy has been good for the state’s economy.

Iowa Republicans Gov. Terry Branstad and Sen. Chuck Grassley have both voiced their support for wind power and for the federal tax breaks that make wind energy economically viable.

“Tax incentives to level the playing field for renewable resources have helped grow wind energy from almost nonexistent to the success story of today,” Grassley wrote in a guest opinion published in The Daily Iowan in December 2011.

As is typically the case in primary season, Iowa carries outsized political clout in this year’s general election. Despite having only six electoral votes (just over 1 percent of the 538 total electoral votes), Iowa is one of only seven of swing states in which necessary electoral votes are up for grabs, according to an Associated Press analysis. As such, we have the opportunity to collectively put some pressure on the candidates and advance our Iowan agenda.

Iowans should unite around our bipartisan support for alternative energy and make it clear to both Obama and Romney, as they make their final attempts to woo us, that neither man will take our electoral votes without explicit support for the extension of the wind-energy tax credit.

Your turn.

Should wind energy have incentives in Iowa?

RE: Romney slams Obama on ‘you didn’t build that’ comment in Bettendorf, Aug. 23, 2012

Good for Romney to get after this mess. Not only is this a slap in the American face of work hard and you will get there, but supplies fuel to everyone who said Obama is against the free market. Two words: Simpson Bowles.

NileKinnick

Good for Romney for taking four words and removing them from their context and creating his own context around them?

Hardly. rupertj

The comment is being completely taken out of context

by Republicans. If you listen to

the portion of the speech that preceded it, the “that” that you “didn’t build” refers to things like infrastructure — the laws, the transportation network, other aspects of our country that are in place and are the background against which every business operates. No individual “built that.” It’s a result of our country’s collective efforts. And as a result, no individual can take sole credit for her or his business success. myob1776

I would agree with you if “you didn’t build that” was inconsistent with the way he has acted, spoken, and governed in the past three years. Unfortunately, it is totally consistent. The president truly seems to believe that government is the most important aspect in our lives, and he would like to make it more so. htaylor

So it is acceptable to completely distort the meaning and context of a statement if doing so happens to make a point that you believe to be a valid one?

Interesting. In that case, I’m happy that you said, “I … agree with you.” myob1776

It [the statement] wasn’t taken out of context: He said you did not build “that” — singular, not plural. In the previous sentence he said “roads and bridges”; if he was referring to roads and bridges he would have said “those.” So please stop saying it was taken out of context. Why are you even arguing? Obama at the very least is a liberal. I don’t even think a liberal would argue that the federal government has a better idea how to run health care and/ or any other central-planning idea. It should embarrass you to even defend the guy. So, let’s

have an understanding that a Democrat thinks state planning is best and a Republican thinks free markets/supply side would be best. Even old Cass Sustein said Friedman was off his rocker with the supply side. End of story.

NileKinnick

The “that” referred to infrastructure. Otherwise, it’s just a naked “that.” I don’t disagree that Obama is a liberal — at least as liberal as Romney was when he was governor of Massachusetts, when he championed policies that mirror in many ways the ones Obama has pushed during his first term. Now, of course, Romney has twisted his persona in much the same way that he has twisted the “you didn’t build that” comment, all in an effort to do whatever it takes — including telling one lie after another — to get elected. myob1776

Know your mandatory fees

By Katie Kuntz katherine-kuntz@uiowa.edu

College is downright expensive.

The Office of the Registrar estimates that with tuition, fees, housing, and personal expenses, students paying in-state tuition are likely to spend $21,832 this year and out-of-state students will spend more than an estimated $40,000.

This is a lot of money.

Especially when 81 percent of students at this university are receiving some form of financial aid, largely in the form of loans, and the average loan is more than $25,000.

A secondary education is well worth the cost but only so long as students are getting their money’s worth.

Last week, The Daily Iowan reported that On Iowa, a recruitment initiative orchestrated by the university for the sake of student retention, cost approximately $250,000, and that was in part paid for by a $250 enrollment fee.

The Daily Iowan also reported that there were nearly 4,500 incoming freshmen this year. If each of those students paid that $250 admissions fee, then more than $1 million in admissions fees were paid to the university

this year.

Because On Iowa only cost about $250,000 of that $1 million, incoming students need to be responsible for discovering the whereabouts of the rest of that cash.

These fees include a technology fee, a health-service fee, an activity/student union fee, a building fee, arts and cultural events fee, a recreation fee, a career-services fee, and a professional enhancement fee.

The student-activity fee, totaling $231.50 for a full-time liberal-arts student, funds the student organizations on campus, so remember to “Pick One.” Another fee, the career-services fee, allows the Pomerantz Center to be a “world-class facility,” helping place students in lifelong careers after graduation.

These events, organizations, and technological advances are important to keep our campus competitive and make our university excellent.

However, the state of Iowa has the third highest rate of student debt nationally, and students must always check that the debt is worth the Hawkeye Challenge. Don’t be fooled by all the “free”bies on campus.

The seed for a better tomorrow

By Ian Friedman ian-friedman@uiowa.edu

A new online donation service created in the Iowa City and University of Iowa communities offers a new way for small businesses to finance their operations.

The company is called Seed Launcher; it allows local small businesses and members of the community to create online profiles in which individuals can donate as little as $1 to the local business of their choice. In turn, each business offers perks for every donation depending on the amount given.

Not only does the website provide a much more holistic method for funding small businesses, it has the potential to profoundly affect the community for years to come.

According to the State of Small Business Report conducted by Pepperdine University, 51 percent of small businesses generating less than $1 million have no form of financing.

Instead of going to a bank for a loan, any business can make a profile

on the website detailing its funding goal and for how long it will accept donations.

Jeromy Sonne, a cofounder of Seed Launcher, said that by offering deals to customers who donate, small businesses are able to promote an “invested loyalty” — in other words, customers will know exactly what their money is going toward and will be rewarded for their deeds.

There are only two companies registered on the website right now, but it is still in its infancy. Furthermore, the owners of the website are in conversation with other small businesses in the area, and they hope to attract a diverse group of small-business owners to use their service.

So if you have a couple extra bucks lying around, donate to a local small business in need. It’s good to donate to an ideological organization you believe in, but it directly impacts your community when you donate to support your local economy.

Guest Column

Women’s health supporters: We’re watching, and we vote Planned Parenthood Action Fund held a rally Aug. 23 in Des Moines as part of the Women are Watching bus tour, which is crisscrossing the country to educate voters about what’s at stake for women’s health in November and mobilize them to get out the vote. The Action Fund is the advocacy and political arm of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Gathering at the Iowa Capitol, around 100 voters sent a clear message to candidates and politicians such as Mitt Romney who oppose women’s

health. That message: Women are watching, and they vote. This year, women will decide the outcome of elections across the country, and they are watching very closely to ensure that they elect candidates who will protect women’s health care.

“This election is critical. I’m worried about my future, my family’s future, and the future of my country,” said local supporter Karla Bromwell. “Mitt Romney wants to turn the clock back on women’s health.

We are here to do something about it.”

Efforts to eliminate access to birth control, cancer screenings, and basic preventive-health services started in Congress more than 20 months ago. Now, cuts and attacks are putting women’s health at risk in states such as Texas — where government cuts to women’s health services presage what Romney would do all across America.

Nearly 3 million patients go to Planned Parenthood health centers every year — not to make a political statement but to get high-quality, affordable

health care. Planned Parenthood sees more than 2 million patients for birth control every year, and conducts nearly 750,000 breast cancer screenings and more than 4 million STI tests/ treatments.

In Iowa, Planned Parenthood provides care for more than 43,000 women, men, and families every year.

More than half of those patients are at or below federal poverty level. For these Iowans, access to quality care is a basic economic issue. And for the state of Iowa, supporting family planning

is smart fiscal policy.

The political attacks against women’s health in Iowa are similar to those taking place all across the country. Extreme lawmakers are putting the lives of Iowa women at risk with proposals to defund Planned Parenthood and restrict reproductive health care. For many, that would mean taking away the only health-care provider they see every year.

“The challenges that we’ve faced and the fights for women’s access to health care have shown us time and again the importance of having

pro-women leaders in office,” said Planned Parenthood Voters of Iowa President Jill June. “There are real people and real issues on the line. We will do all we can to speak up for women’s health.”

Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the leading advocate for Planned Parenthood health centers across the nation, has launched its largest campaign effort ever because so much is at stake for women’s health in this election.

Use of deadly force rare

ZOMBIE NATION

One criminology professor says there are roughly four instances a year in which deadly force is used in Iowa.

By Brent Griffiths Brent-griffiths@uiowa.edu

Officials say Iowa Division of Narcotics Enforcement agent Daniel Stepleton acted with “reasonable force” when he fired his gun four times, killing Ivan Carl Hardemon and injuring Demarco Dudley during an undercover narcotics operation with another narcotics agent.

Johnson County prosecutor Janet Lyness wrote in a press release that Stepleton’s actions were investigated and reviewed.

According to a press release, Stepleton made arrangements to purchase illegal drugs and arrived at the Breckenridge Trailer Court on Aug. 16.

On Aug. 19, Norman Dudley turned himself in at the Johnson County Jail, joining the other two people of interest in the case, Demarco Dudley and John Mulbah.

Mulbah had been charged on Aug. 13 with

a controlled-substance violation after he allegedly sold approximately 10.1 grams of a cocaine base to an undercover narcotics agent.

Steven Briggs, an assistant professor of criminology at the University of Northern Iowa, said use of deadly force is unusual, given the number of arrests police make in a given year.

“The use of deadly force is rare,” he said.

Briggs said there are roughly four instances a year in Iowa in which deadly force is used, while there are at least 115,000 arrests.

On the average, he said, the use of deadly force in Iowa has declined as a result of the 1985 U.S. Supreme Court decision Tennessee v. Garner, which changed the definition on when deadly force could be used from a “fleeing felon” to “threatened life.”

“Police have resisted using deadly force in the

last couple of decades, and we have seen a reduction since the Supreme Court decision,” Briggs said.

Stepleton fired his gun after a masked man had felt it during a pat down, and then Hardemon aimed his gun at Stepleton’s head, which included him touching the barrel of his gun to Stepleton’s head and making statements about killing Stepleton and the other officer.

According to online court documents, Demarco’s Dudley’s preliminary hearing is set for 2:30 p.m. today; he will be charged with felony first-degree robbery.

Norman Dudley’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursay, and his arraignment is scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday.

Mulbah’s preliminary hearing for his controlled-substance charge is also set for 2:30 p.m.today, and he will be arraigned at 2 p.m. Friday.

A Coralville man faces numerous charges after an Aug. 24 altercation at Tailgators Sports Bar in Coralville.

According to a complaint by Coralville police, Dusten Kemp, 26, was charged after he was allegedly involved in an altercation at Tailgators. The complaint said Kemp allegedly punched a woman who was not involved in the altercation, causing swelling and redness of her right cheek and eye.

The complaint said the victim of the assault and two witnesses positively identified Kemp as the person who struck her.

Kemp was charged with third-offense OWI and assault causing bodily injury.

Third-offense OWI is a Class-D felony.

The prosecution has filed a motion against Justin Marshall’s request to delay his trial, according to online court documents.

Marshall is accused of first-degree murder in connection with the death of Broadway apartments landlord John Versypt.

Marshall originally was a material witness in Charles William Curtis Thompson’s trial.

After being held for months as a witness, an order for his release was affirmed by the Iowa Supreme Court. Marshall was later arrested in Texas before being extradited to Johnson County to face charges for Versypt’s death.

A hearing over Marshall’s motion to delay his trial is scheduled for 11 a.m. today.

Int’l students pick UI graduate school UI sees a rise in international graduate students due to the quality of education.

By Stacey Murray stacey-murray@uiowa.edu

University of Iowa officials are expecting to see a rise in international graduate students this fall, a trend that exists at the national level.

Graduate College Dean John Keller said the UI expects somewhere near a 12 percent increase in the number of international students in its graduate programs.

Nationally, colleges have seen a 9 percent increase in the number of international students attending graduate schools, according to the Council of Graduate Schools.

Keller said he believes the quality of the education offered by the university is the cause for the international students choosing to be Hawkeyes.

“Many students want to pursue graduate education, mostly as a direct result of the quality of programs that correlates with the faculty,” Keller said.

In 2011, 1,266 international students attended graduate school at the UI. An increase of 12 percent would put the tally at

more than 1,400 students at the graduate level.

The three-week report for the UI that breaks down the number of international students in graduate school hasn’t yet been released to give a final count, but should be available at the end of this week.

Keller said the UI’s attempts to make its presence known in Asia led the recruitment of international students. The UI’s faculty and research connections enticed many of the international students to make the move to Iowa City.

A number of the international students researched or worked with studies overseas that originated from the university. The students then decided after those opportunities to continue their educational endeavors at the UI. This was the reason Azar Eslam Panah, a student from Iran, chose to continue her education in Iowa.

Eslam Panah studied as an undergraduate and received a master’s degree in Iran at the Sharhood University of Technology.

She then chose the University of Iowa for a graduate degree in mechanical engineering.

“The University of Iowa is very strong in mechanical engineering, so I decided to come here,” she said.

The Ph.D. student has enjoyed the opportunities granted to her through

work with the university.

Not only has she enjoyed studying in Iowa, she even hopes to find a job in the state following her studies.

“I’ve worked recently in the lab and on different experiments. It’s very interesting and exciting,” she said. “There are many nice people here; I like it quite a bit.”

While UI officials expect an increase in graduate international students, officials at both the University of Northern Iowa and Iowa State University said this isn’t the case.

While official numbers won't be released until later this week, Kristi Marchesani of the UNI admissions office said, although officials have seen an increase in applications at the undergraduate level, this increase doesn’t exist at the graduate level — at least not this year.

“We had a slight decrease in applications, which means almost a certain decrease for our graduate level,” Marchesani said.

Although UNI expects to see a dip in the number of graduate international students, Iowa State University officials anticipate educating a similar number.

“We don't have any official numbers, but we are anticipating roughly the same as last year,” Tim Tessar, an official from the Iowa State admissions office, said.

NIGHT OWLS AT THE YOGURT

Nation GOP: Show will go on in spite of storm’s threat TAMPA, Fla. — Tuesday’s brunch with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and House Speaker John Boehner has been moved indoors. Schedules were rearranged to fill an open Monday evening. Sandbags were in place outside the hotel housing the 800-strong California delegation.

The threat of Tropical Storm Isaac left delegates to the Republican National Convention recalibrating Sunday but insisting that the show will go on with just a few modifications because of the weather. The GOP postponed most of today’s lineup, cramming four days of events into three with hopes for a major send-off for Mitt Romney on Thursday.

“I think frankly Thursday night

is going to be the big show … and nobody can articulate Romney’s message better than Romney,” said Jim Poolman, the vice chairman of the North Dakota GOP. “Wednesday will be important for Paul Ryan to introduce himself to [the country]. And those two nights won’t change.”

Poolman arrived in the Tampa area Sunday afternoon and was settling in. He said if today’s opening forum is abbreviated, he will likely stick around his Treasure Island hotel to get some work done.

A revised convention schedule shows a brief session today that Romney’s chief convention planner said would last no more than five minutes.

Mitch Zak, media director of California’s delegation, said a lot of events were being reorganized because of the storm.

One that went off as planned

was Sunday night’s kickoff party.

Delegates flowed into Tropicana Field, taking advantage of the welcome event organized by the convention host committee.

The home of the Tampa Bay Rays was transformed from baseball field into a party zone featuring three separate stages that showcased acts such as country music star Rodney Atkins, belly dancers, and cheerleaders. Delegates got to drink as well as take in Cuban food and local seafood.

Organizers said that roughly 20,000 people had been invited, but they were not certain how much the potential threat of Tropical Storm Isaac would discourage people from attending.

Ken Jones, president and CEO of the 2012 Republican National Committee host convention, defended going ahead with the event despite the storm threat.

By Rick Gano Associated Press

CHICAGO — Chris Volstad ended a 24-start winless streak Sunday, allowing three hits in 6⅔ strong innings for his first victory in 13 months, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies, 5-0, in a game shortened to eight innings by rain.

Volstad (1-9), acquired from Miami for Carlos Zambrano, earned his first win since he beat Houston while pitching for the Marlins on July 10, 2011. The major league record for consecutive winless starts is 28, shared by Jo-Jo Reyes, Matt Keough, and Cliff Curtis.

Volstad was taken out to an ovation in the seventh after former Cub Tyler Colvin doubled with two outs and Chris Nelson walked.

Japan slugs way to Little League title

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Arms outstretched in the air with a smile from ear-to-ear, Noriatsu Osaka couldn’t contain his glee.

Neither could his teammates from Tokyo after Osaka’s third home run of the game put an exclamation point on Japan’s 12-2 victory over Tennessee in five innings in the Little League World Series title game Sunday.

The 12-year-old Osaka added a triple for good measure, too, to top off his 4-for-4 afternoon. In a symbolic gesture, Japan’s players jogged the traditional postgame victory lap carrying the flags for both their home country and the United States.

“We had such a great time in Pennsylvania, and we really played a good game today. It was kind of a, ‘Thanks,’ “ Osaka said through an interpreter.

Starter Kotaro Kiyomiya struck

a fielder’s choice grounder to end the threat.

Volstad struck out three and walked three in a 101-pitch effort. Shawn Camp pitched the eighth for his second save in five chances, completing a four-hitter.

The start of the game was delayed 2 hours, 23 minutes by rain. With Chicago leading 5-0, there was another delay after the eighth inning, and the game was called 30 minutes later.

Starlin Castro scored three times, and Darwin Barney had two RBIs as the Cubs took two of three from the Rockies.

Colorado right-hander Jhoulys Chacin (1-4), making just his second start since returning from the disabled list, gave up a run and five hits in five innings.

The 6-8 Volstad, who was 0-14 during the win-

less streak, has received little run support this season. During his previous 13 starts, the Cubs had scored 1 or fewer runs eight times, and he hadn’t received more than three runs in any of those outings.

The Cubs got him an early run Sunday when Castro doubled in the second, went to third on a fly ball, and scored when Barney beat out a potential double-play grounder.

Castro walked in the sixth, moved up on two grounders, and scored on Barney’s flare single to right-center.

The Cubs then tacked on 3 more runs in the eighth. Pinch-hitter Joe Mather had a bases-loaded sacrifice fly, Brett Jackson raced home on a Will Harris wild pitch, and David DeJesus tacked on an RBI single.

out eight in four innings and added an RBI single for Japan. The game ended in the fifth after Osaka’s third homer made it a 10run game.

“We thought we played the best in the tournament so far, especially to win by the 10-run rule in the finals,” said 12-year-old Rintaro Hirano, who homered in the fourth to make it 10-1.

A day after pounding out a 2416 win over California in the U.S. title game, the Goodlettsville, Tenn., sluggers could only muster two hits — solo shots by Brock Myers and Lorenzo Butler.

It was a bittersweet final game for two teams that grew close during their two weeks in South Williamsport. They exchanged customary postgame handshakes at the plate before Japan received the World Series championship banner and took their warning-track run.

“Tennessee was our best

friends in the U.S. division,” Kiyomiya said.

Japan’s jog finally stopped in front of the team’s giddy cheering section as proud family members and friends stood shoulder-to-shoulder to take pictures through the infield fence.

There were so many highlights, including five home runs off Tennessee pitching.

That was more than enough offense for 13-year-old ace Kiyomiya, who had a fastball clocked in the high-70s, The right-hander with the hitch in mid-delivery pitched like a big-league ace in allowing just one hit.

Regardless, this is still a banner year for Goodlettsville after its exhausting victory Aug. 25 over Petaluma, Calif., for the U.S. championship. That game set a record for most combined runs in the World Series.

— Associated Press

The 11th-annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge is in the books, and No. 12 Iowa returns home with a 1-1 record from the weekend.

The Hawkeyes, along with No. 10 Michigan, made the trip to Winston-Salem, N.C. to face off with No. 13 Wake Forest and No. 2 North Carolina on the Demon Deacons’ campus.

Iowa played Wake Forest on Aug. 25 and squeaked out a 3-2 victory in overtime to start the fall campaign. The Hawkeyes trailed 2-0 at halftime, then goals from Kelsey Mitchell and Corinne Allen tied the game.

Jessica Barnett put away the winning goal in overtime to cap the comeback.

“We weren’t matching up well at the beginning of the game,”

head coach Tracey Griesbaum said in a release on Aug. 25. “We regrouped and made some major changes in the second half.

It was a great sign of a mature team, because they could have very easily quit. It showed a lot about their character that they could come back from 2-0 and take it a play at a time.”

Sunday’s matchup against the No. 2 Tar Heels didn’t go so well for the Black and Gold, however.

Carolina put its first two goals away in the first 10 minutes of the match. The Tar Heels’ offense didn’t slow down, and the Hawkeyes entered halftime trailing 4-0.

North Carolina scored only once in the second half, finishing with a 5-0 win and pushing Iowa’s record to 1-1 on the season. The Tar Heels finished the weekend 2-0, outscoring their

opponents 10-1 in the process and outshooting Iowa 23-5 in Sunday’s game.

“We started off really sluggishly and never really gained control of the game,” Griesbaum said in a release following the loss. “North Carolina played a very good game, especially in transition. We played very tentatively, and some of our key players did not play well today. I felt like we were playing at a deficit from the start of the game.”

However, the Hawkeyes fared better than their conference foe — Michigan went 0-2 during the weekend. The Tar Heels thumped the Wolverines, 5-1, on Saturday, and Michigan lost a heartbreaker to Wake Forest on Sunday, 2-1.

The Hawkeye’s overall record in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge is now 5-17.

but so far, so good.”

Despite a thin running-back group, Davis said he’s not concerned with it “as much as others are.” He said he could get away with starting a freshman at running back.

Davis is pleased with the makings of Iowa’s offense, as well. He said the offensive line is “very solid” and the tight end position is deeper than any of the other teams for which he’s coached.

And he had high praise for quarterback James Vandenberg.

“He’s got a chance to

“You’ve got seniors that have seen four or five different coordinators. There just hasn’t been a lot of stability in the program,” Kill said. “This year, we didn’t lose one coach, not one person in academics.

Our kids have never seen that here. There’s some trust that we are going to try to change this thing, and we do want to be here.”

Sports least five linemen ready to play.

“In my time in the National Football League, we would go into a game with 46 guys who could actually enter the football game, which generally meant for us that we’d take seven linemen into the game … that meant you started five and then had two guys who could back them up,” Brian Ferentz said.

Brian Ferentz said it’d be “naïve” to think that five linemen are going to carry the team. He’s planning to get several of them ready to play.

“We just always need to be prepared to have our best five on the field, whoever they may be,” he said.

Reese Morgan — defensive-line coach

Brian Ferentz — offensive-line coach

coach’s son has taken over Iowa’s offensive line, one of the stronger positions on the team.

“There’s no other way to get experience than to play when it counts,” he said.

Brian Ferentz spent time learning under nowPenn State head coach Bill O’Brien with the Patriots.

He said O’Brien is one of his biggest influences and mentors.

From O’Brien he’s learned to prepare everyone, to keep the offensive line “always fluid” enough that any number of athletes could step in and play. Brian Ferentz doesn’t care who the five starters will be in the first game, only that there will be at

Morgan joined the Iowa coaching staff in 2000, and began coaching the offensive line in 2003. Now, nine years later, Morgan has jumped to the other side of the ball to lead the defensive line.

Many expect the line, returning only two starters, to struggle this year.

Morgan doesn’t believe that, however, despite the fact that he’s stepping into a brand new position where 13 players have only 48 games of experience combined.

“There will be a little bit of a bull’s-eye on our guys’ back, and people will be watching,” Morgan said. “I don’t think there’s going to

be a lot of NFL teams that are going to be watching practice and saying, ‘Wow look at these guys,’ but I do think that there’s going to be some great stories and surprises. And some guys that are, in time, going to be [stars].”

Morgan said the change in position has been “invigorating,” despite the issues of experience with the defensive line.

“I loved working with the offensive line, the tight ends, [but] being on the other side of the ball is kind of a stimulating thing — it’s really been fun,” Morgan said. “I just hope Coach Ferentz and [defensive coordinator Phil] Parker are patient with us as we work through and develop these young men.”

The team showed life in the second half of last season. The Gophers beat Iowa on Oct. 29, came within a touchdown of beating Legends Division champion Michigan State the next week, and routed Illinois by 20 points in the season finale.

“In your first year, you’re trying to rebuild a program, and I think we got better at the end of the year,” Kill said. “Even in a couple losses, we could see the improvement of our football team.”

But the Gophers will need to keep improving to move up from the bottom

of the Big Ten. The defense allowed almost 32 points per game last season, second worst in the conference.

Senior linebacker Keanon Cooper said familiarity with the team’s schemes would help.

“There’ll be a lot less thinking and a lot more guys running around playing ball,” he said. “We haven’t had stability around here in a while, and you’ll be able to see just how well we’ve grasped the defense.

Guys will be running around making plays.”

Talented but inconsistent quarterback Mar-

Queis Gray leads the offense. Iowa fans may remember Gray bulldozing Hawkeye defenders for a game-winning touchdown last season. He ran for 966 yards in 2011, and offensive lineman Ed Olson called him a “freak of a playmaker.” But Gray only completed 50 percent of his throws, something that needs to get better for Minnesota’s offense to become more dangerous.

“He’s been working out so hard, watching so much film,” Olson said of Gray.

“He knows the offense like the back of his hand, and he’s a great leader. He’s

going to have a great season.”

Minnesota likely doesn’t have the talent to move into the upper tier of the conference. But Kill and his staff are working to slowly change the culture.

The coach urged that you can’t “change 45 years of not winning a Big Ten championship in one season.”

And Olson thinks it’s working.

“The first year, not everyone was buying in to everything Coach Kill was implementing,” he said.

“Those guys are gone now, and everyone’s bought in to this. With everyone knowing the plays and the schemes that much better, I think it’s going to be a great year.”

team along with middle blocker Chanté Thompson. “[Coach Dingman] and I talked a lot about being consistent,” Thompson said. “I wanted to start that early for this season and show that I can be consistent throughout the year. This weekend was the start to that.”

Thompson recorded 38 kills on the weekend, which was third on the team behind Bedell and

sophomore Alex Lovell.

The Hawkeyes finished the weekend 3-1, with their only hiccup coming against tournament champion Southeast Missouri.

But, opening weekend showed the Hawkeyes that there are still kinks to be worked out before their next match.

“I still think we need to work on catching on things early and adjusting to things quicker,” Bedell

be an outstanding player. He’s got a chance to play beyond college. He’s bright, he’s 6-3, and he’s accurate. … I could not have asked for a better guy for me to come in here and for him to be sitting there as a senior. … To say I’m a fan would be an understatement.”

Brian Ferentz bears the legendary name of his father, but he’s ready to make his own this season. The former Hawkeye graduated in 2006 and then spent four years with the New England Patriots, coaching the team’s tight ends last season.

history was on their side.

“Northern Iowa has gotten better over the past few years, and they’re going to beat some teams,” Rainey said. “They’ve earned our respect.”

Rainey was looking for a much cleaner effort from his team this weekend and he received that in a pair of dominant performances including a 4-0 win over Loyola-Chicago on Aug. 24. He said that Sunday was the culmination of what his team had worked on throughout the past week.

“There were good things throughout, but in the second half in particular I thought we did a better job of not just challenging the first ball but trying to win the second one as well,” Rainey said. “That allowed us to keep sustained pressure on Northern Iowa and keep them in their half of the field.”

Lacasse hit the game-winner with a shot from inside the 18-yard box in the 33rd minute and later assisted on Catrell’s goal in the 50th minute. The Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, native, who shows no signs of slowing down following a successfull freshman campaign, she said getting through the first road test is always stressful, especially against a rival.

“Playing away for the first time is tough because

(The Daily Iowan/Joshua Housing) you don’t have that support you get at home,” she said. “It was a good win because UNI came in undefeated and it was the first Iowa rivalry we’ve had this season.”

Catrell had 5 goals over 28 games entering 2012, and she has now equaled that output in four games this season. She’s scored 3 goals in her last two games and credited her underclassmen linemate with some of her success.

“I guess I’m just on a streak,” Catrell said.

“Cloe has been doing well winning the end-line and passing the ball back for me to finish.”

The other important thing for Iowa thus far has been the ability to rest its starters during the latter part of games, something

that Rainey said could be crucial down the road.

“For sure it’s good to share minutes because the season gets long and you play a ton of games,” Rainey said. “But it also allows us to see different combinations on the field and different people to step in to try and keep our level high.”

Rainey has sensed that his team has entered each contest this season with not only confidence in themselves but also respect for their opponents.

“We’ve been mentally ready to play most of these games so far and what we’re trying to do is lead into becoming better and better,” Rainey said. “Our kids have respect for UNI, and it showed with how we came out and played today.”

New coaches dot Iowa staff Gophers steadily improve The Gophers finally have some continuity under head coach Jerry Kill. They’re hoping it starts translating into wins.

Numerous coaching changes have mixed up the Iowa football coaching staff, but there don’t seem to be any issues of adjustment.

By Molly Irene Olmstead molly-olmstead@uiowa.edu

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz is now the longest-tenured football coach in the Big Ten. But the departures of longtime coordinators Norm Parker and Ken O’Keefe, have changed much of the Iowa coaching staff this season. Phil Parker was promoted from defensive backs coach to defensive coordinator. Greg Davis arrived from Texas to become Iowa’s new offensive coordinator. Reese Morgan, who had coached the offensive line for nine seasons, switched to the defensive line, and Brian Ferentz — Kirk Ferentz’s son — was hired as the new offensive-line coach.

It was a lot of change in one off-season.

The new coaches, however, are prepared for the task.

Greg Davis — offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach

Davis is new to the Hawkeyes but not to the game — ­ not by any standard. The offensive coordinator coached at Texas in the same position for 13 years and at various universities beginning in 1978.

“Anytime you’re 13 years into something you need to look at everything … certainly having three coaching changes made [freshening things up] a necessity,” Kirk Ferentz said during on the team’s media day on Aug. 6. “[Davis and I] have met in a lot of different areas, had a lot of different discussions, and just are really pleased with a lot of things that we’ve talked about. We’ll throw them up against the wall and see if they continue to stick, see coaches, 10

IOWA 3, VALPARAISO 1

The Minnesota football team didn’t make sweeping changes after losing nine of its 12 games last season. The Gophers didn’t clean house, fire their head coach, or go out in search of new coordinators.

And that’s the biggest reason the Gophers feel good heading into this year.

When Jerry Kill arrived in Minnesota last season, the team had played under four offensive coordinators in the last five years. It had seen three defensive coordinator changes under the past head two coaches, Glen Mason and Tim Brewster.

Not a single staff member changed jobs after Kill’s first season. The former Northern Illinois coach said at Big Ten media day on July 26 that three assistants had offers from other see minnesota, 10

Volleyball finishes on high note Soccer

Bethany Yeager and Chanté Thompson made the all-tourney team as Iowa volleyball went 3-1 in its opening weekend in the annual Hawkeye Challenge.

The Iowa volleyball team finished its season-opening Hawkeye Challenge with a win against Valpraiso Sunday after a tough loss to Southeast Missouri on Aug. 25.

The Hawkeyes (3-1) beat Valpraiso, (2125, 25-21, 25-22, 25-16).

“Overall, I think the weekend showed us a lot. Obviously, any win is good,” Iowa volleyball head coach Sharon Dingman said. “Tonight [against Valpo] showed us even more. To watch Rachael [Bedell] struggle so much early and then just light it up at the end of the third set and into the fourth set was fun.”

Bedell tallied 16 kills against Southeast Missouri but also committed 10 errors, giving her an unsatisfactory .107 hitting percentage. And against Valpraiso, Bedell only tallied 3 kills for a .091 hitting percentage in the first set, and then hit -1.00 in the second.

Bedell and her squad started the Valpo match with chips on their shoulders from the loss earlier in the day. After dropping the first set against Valpo, 25-21, the Hawkeyes seemed headed for another loss until they regained their composure and finished off the visitors in four sets.

“Bethany [Yeager] and I were trying to keep everyone talking the entire time,” Bedell said. “It helps keep the energy up.

It was a long two days, so we just pushed through the fatigue with our energy.”

Yeager was another key player in the Hawkeyes opening weekend. Her communication with her teammates sparked a comeback win, but her play on the court proved to be exceptional as well. Over the weekend Yeager became the 14th Hawkeye to record 1,000 digs in her career.

“It’s an awesome feeling,” she said. “I

Make it a perfect 10 for the Iowa women’s soccer team.

Forwards junior Ashley Catrell and sophomore Cloe Lacasse each scored their fifth goals of the season and the Hawkeyes overpowered Northern Iowa, 3-0, at the Cedar Valley Youth Soccer Complex in Waterloo on Sunday.

The victory improved Iowa’s record to 10-0 all-time against their rivals to the north, the last six each a shutout. The win also pushed the current Hawkeyes to 4-0 on a season in which they have yet to allow a goal.

Iowa head coach Ron Rainey was happy the Hawkeyes carried on their dominance against the Panthers but said that by no means were they overlooking their opponents, even though

Junior Bethany Yeager passes the ball in Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Aug. 25. Iowa lost to Southeast Missouri, 3-2, in the third game of the Hawkeye Challenge. Yeager, along with teammate Chanté Thompson, was selected to the all-tournament team. (The Daily Iowan/Tessa Hursh) “In the very beginning [against Valpo] we were all just trying to get through the game and get it started,” Bedell said. “I started to tense up because I wasn’t playing as well as I wanted. But after we got the third game under our belt, I knew we had it.”

Bedell was the key player in putting away a stingy Valpo team. She was dominant in the last two sets and finished the match with 18 kills and 9 digs. Her communication throughout the match was instrumental in keeping the Hawkeyes lively on the court and not letting another match slip away.
