Biscotti’s temporarily relocated to Shull Hall

At the University of Northern Iowa, potential changes may occur in the Liberal Arts Core as the uni-versity enters a new curricu-lum cycle. The 45-credit core is currently under evaluation.

One of the potential changes to the Liberal Arts Core is the proposal for the Cornerstone Experience for freshmen.

April Chatham-Carpenter, the faculty member spon-soring the proposal for the Cornerstone Experience, said the course came out of an “intensive self-study of the first year of college called Foundations of Excellence.”

She said one issue that kept arising is whether the univer-sity has a common curriculum experience that all first-year students can take. Chatham-Carpenter said they devel-oped an ad hoc committee to investigate several issues and report back to the first-year council.

Chatham-Carpenter said the committee recommended a six-hour course that is sim-ilar to the current Liberal Arts Core capstone course, but at the front end of the college experience. The rec-ommended course would be a yearlong course that could be substituted for categories 1A and 1B — the oral and writ-ten communication categories — so that extra hours would

not be added to the LAC. The executive vice presi-

dent and provost and the vice president of student affairs gave permission to move for-ward with the course and have it beginning 2011.

According to Chatham-Carpenter, 10 faculty mem-bers taught the Cornerstone course for the 2011-2012 aca-demic year, with 20-25 stu-dents per course.

Chatham-Carpenter said the course had three main goals. The first and most obvious was to develop writ-ing and speaking skills. The second goal was to fos-ter student success and the practice of learning how to

Students searching for a quick snack or a place to study on the south side of campus will have to visit the basement of Shull Hall this semester.

Previously located in the Redeker Center, Biscotti’s and the Redeker Center computer lab have moved to the base-ment of Shull Hall because of construction to expand the dining and office complex.

The computer lab and Biscotti’s are located adja-cent to one another in Shull and are accessible by the west stairwell in the building.

Pat Beck, assistant director of residence and marketing, said the renovated student center will feature several improvements.

When construction is com-plete, a larger Piazza dining center with additional seating will be available. The cen-ter will feature new student lounges for studying and relaxation.

Finally, Biscotti’s, one of two campus convenience stores run by the University of Northern Iowa Department of Residence, will expand to offer a greater selection and more seasonal items.

The expansion is designed to serve the needs of the growing population on the south side of campus, par-ticularly students in Panther Village, a new on-campus apartment complex.

Phase I of Panther Village opened in fall 2012, with

space for 204 occupants, and a 246-bed Phase II will open in fall 2013.

Panther Village residents are not required to have a meal plan, and could take advantage of expanded gro-cery options in Biscotti’s.

While the Redeker con-struction continues, residents of the Quads will not have a 24-hour computer lab nearby.

The computer lab in Shull Hall will be open when Biscotti’s is open. Biscotti’s will maintain its hours from last year.

Also, students who visit Biscotti’s this semester will notice that they have fewer snacks and beverages to choose from. One notable casualty of the move was the espresso machine.

To help students find Biscotti’s, the Shull staff have posted signs pointing the way to the shop.

Britt Hudson, the Shull Hall residence life coordina-tor, welcomes the store’s tem-porary change in location.

“I think students here (in Shull) appreciate having access to Biscotti’s,” Hudson said.

The changes have brought some minor disruption to Shull residents.

Ben Ott, a senior biolo-gy major and Shull resident, noted the inconvenience of the locked doors to the resi-dence hallway.

“I have to get my key out every time,” Ott said.

Hudson acknowledged res-idents’ potential issues during

the transition, but maintains an optimistic view of the situ-ation.

“Construction can be frus-trating. It’s change,” Hudson said, “but change is good. It means we are growing.”

work together. The third goal was an increased knowledge of civility, awareness of dif-ferences and interaction with other people.

The course, was built around a common reading experience, “Zeitoun,” with many assignments relating to the book.

Chatham-Carpenter said the theatre department is planning on turning next year’s com-mon reading experience, “An American Way of Eating” by Tracy McMullan, into one of their main stage productions.

Jacob Shultz, a sophomore communication/public relations major who took Cornerstone during the 2011-2012 academic year, said he “enjoyed reading ‘Zeitoun.’”

“The book caused a lot of discussion to arise and brought up many issues still facing our country,” Shultz said.

According to Chatham-Carpenter, one of the practices of the Cornerstone Experience is the Peer Teaching Assistant program. She said the PTA program was implemented with the knowledge that “students tend to be successful when they have someone that can mentor them at their level.”

Shultz, a sophomore Spanish and public relations double major, said his PTA was “very helpful.”

“We actually became pretty good friends,” Shultz said of his PTA.

Each student who is selected as a PTA receives three elective credits and is required to spend 10 hours in the classroom and an additional two hours in a seminar where they learn men-

toring practices, writing assis-tance, small group discussion leadership and other skills that can be put to use in the classroom. Chatham-Carpenter called it a “leadership pro-gram.” Chatham-Carpenter also said many students who enrolled in the Cornerstone course last year are now PTAs, which is beneficial because they are close in age to the first-year students and know what to expect from the course.

“We expect we’ll have more of those folks as the program continues,” Chatham-Carpenter said.

C h a t h a m - C a r p e n t e r explained that PTAs do every-thing from taking attendance to meeting with students dur-ing one-on-one to presenting in class.

“My students are required to (do) two in-person meetings with me and two with the PTA outside of class,” Chatham-Carpenter said. “This increases the likelihood (the students) will develop relationships out-side of class.”

The PTAs have even met with students to help them develop speaking and coping skills, she said.

“I saw the students start listening to the PTA immedi-ately,” Chatham-Carpenter said. “It was like a corner was almost turned in that they would do what the PTA said, almost as if the PTA were a parent figure.”

According to Chatham-Carpenter, the course is going to have two different course descriptions and numbers, one for each semester. The first semester course is 1st Year Cornerstone: Integrated Communication I and the sec-ond semester course is 1st Year Cornerstone: Integrated

Communication II. She said the idea of the

course is that whenever stu-dents write, they will also do some speaking about the topic and vice versa.

For example, Chatham-Carpenter said that for one particular assignment, the stu-dents had to write a family narrative and include their own experience in terms of a sig-nificant move while tying it to the Great Migration.

“We had the students write about their own experi-ences, and they had to tribute someone from their story in a speech,” Chatham-Carpenter said.

In her classes, she said stu-dents are always taped when giving speeches and then have to write a reflection on their growth and goals for develop-ing as a speaker.

Chatham-Carpenter also said there is much discussion about how to organize and research your ideas, given that the language and presentation of your ideas carry over from written to oral communication and vice versa.

“The Cornerstone allows us to teach the basic principles, the basic theory you might consid-er (and) how the choice of mes-sage will depend on your audi-ence and the genre all in one course instead of separately,” Chatham-Carpenter said.

“The setup for the class was excellent and the class was cool because I was with (my classmates) for a whole year,” Schultz said. “It felt like high school and was a good transition for me into college.” Shultz also said he enjoyed the projects and presentations

and said it was a great idea to make the course a perma-nent part of the LAC because the “integration of College Writing and Research and Oral Communication is seam-less.”

Kelli Larson took the course during the 2011-2012 academic year and said she had a “great experience in the class.”

Larson, a sophomore reli-gion major, said it helped her adjust to the college work-load, and she learned how to talk to professors when seeking help. According to Larson, the class also gave her opportunities “to experi-ence events on campus that (she) normally would not have attended.”

“I am still using some of the skills that I learned in that course, even though I was enrolled in it last year,” Larson said. “Overall, it was a good experience.”

Brittany Salyars, a sopho-more communication major, said that she enjoyed the com-bination of College Writing and Research and Oral Communication but she has reservations about the rest of the class.

“What I didn’t like, and felt like was a waste of time, was the college experience part of the class where they tried to teach us how to be a student,” Salyars said after taking the class in the 2011-2012 academic year. “I think everyone’s experience is and should be different, and it’s not something you can learn from sitting in a classroom.”

Because Cornerstone is not housed within an indi-vidual department, Chatham-Carpenter had to consult both the Communication Studies department and the Department of Languages and Literatures.

She said the Department of Communication Studies has voted to approve sending the proposal for Cornerstone, and the Department of Languages and Literatures is in the process of coming back with a response, which she hopes to get by the end of the semester.

According to Chatham-Carpenter, the next step will be to consult the senate of the College of Humanities, Arts and Sciences.

“In the spring, hypo-thetically, college senates will be looking at all pro-posals that affect the LAC,” Chatham-Carpenter said. “At that point, they will send the information to the University Undergraduate Committee.”

If there are unresolved conflicts, the University Undergraduate Curriculum Committee can bring in par-ties to discuss the proposal and have a place where they can mediate their conflict.

Ideally, proposals will then go to the faculty senate by spring 2014.

UNI plans day of service for Martin Luther King Jr. Day LINH TA

News Editor

While some students may take Martin Luther King Jr. Day to relax and hang out, University of Northern Iowa students can commemorate the holiday and make it a day on rather than a day off by serving their community.

Held annually, the Student Involvement Center hosts the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service to allow students an easy opportunity to vol-unteer at local agencies. The day consists of guest speakers and various service projects may get involved in.

Check-in is from 9-9:45 a.m. at Maucker Union, and a guest speaker will present until 10 a.m.

After the speaker, and

introduction and instructions, volunteers will be transport-ed by bus to various loca-tions, including the Northeast Iowa Food Bank, Grout Museum District, Country View Nursing Home and the Catholic Worker House. At each agency, volunteers will do different tasks to assist the organization and serve the community.

At noon, volunteers will eat lunch back in Maucker Union. A free t-shirt is also provided to those who partici-pate in the service day.

Registration is open to all who are interested. Visit www.uni.edu/involvement, to register. The deadline is 5 p.m. on Jan. 18.

We are living in the golden age of television

BLAKE [email protected]

CAROLYN COLE/Los Angeles Times/MCTAndrew Lincoln is shown on the set of “The Walking Dead,” the zombie series on AMC, in June 2012. “The Walking Dead” is one of many newer “serial dramas” on American television tackling compelling subject matter and maintaining complex storylines over multiple episodes.

Gun control is a futile deterrent

AUSTIN [email protected]

“Too much television will rot your brain.” You’ve heard it at some point during your child-hood. We all have. Whether you heard it from a parent or a babysitter or a scary old man, we’ve all been warned that watching too much television will cause our heads to explode or result in some other form of neurological catastro-phe. I’m here to tell you (and you’ll want to sit down for this) that it is simply not true. Now, I’m not a doctor, so I can’t say with any certain-ty that watching an episode of “Jersey Shore” on MTV won’t result in the loss of precious brain cells, but what I do know is that tele-vision is not what it used to be, for better or worse. Back in the ‘90s, sitcoms like “Seinfeld,” “Friends” and “Home Improvement” were among the most popu-lar shows on television. These shows were sim-plistic, endearing and, most importantly, good for at least a laugh or two. Each show was a half hour long and the best part was that few episodes had a connec-tion to the ones that came before it, making it easy for first-time viewers to catch a random episode and not miss a beat. I have nothing against these types of shows, but they required very little commitment from their

audience and they rarely tackled material that could be considered edgy or thought provoking. At the very least, these shows served an admirable purpose, even if that pur-pose was merely to provide a half hour of lighthearted entertainment for the hard-working men and women of America. But the success of these sitcoms left the television landscape flooded with the same family-friendly content, with only a few serious dramas like “The X-Files,” “NYPD Blue” and “ER” able to claw their way to the top of the ratings. Television at the time was passable at best, stuck in the shadow of the film industry that had dwarfed it for decades in terms of artistic value. But while Hollywood has become a recycling bin of remakes, sequels and reboots in recent years, the television industry has seen a creative boom. On AMC (of all chan-nels), groundbreaking shows like “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad” and “The Walking Dead” have cap-tured the attention of crit-ics and audiences alike. “Game of Thrones” and “Boardwalk Empire,”

despite the fact that they air on the premium cable network HBO, have found new life (and new audienc-es) on DVD. The same can be said for “Dexter” and “Homeland” on Showtime. That’s not to mention the surprising reinven-tion of FX, where shows like “Sons of Anarchy,” “Justified” and “American Horror Story” have been allowed to thrive. And these are not sit-coms – not even close. These are serialized dra-mas, where a viewer misses an episode at his or her own peril, for fear of missing out on crucial plot points or character developments. These kinds of shows rely on the audience invest-ing in character and plot to keep them coming back every week, rather than hooking them on the prom-ise of cheap laughs. Shows like “Breaking Bad” are a perfect example, where fans watch in earnest as the lead character trans-forms from a regular high school science teacher to a ruthless drug kingpin over the course of the series. These shows challenge us with morally ambiguous characters, shocking and unexpected plot twists, and the invitation to ponder and consider the events of each episode long after we’ve fin-ished watching. People don’t just watch these shows and forget about them anymore either.

No, they debate over them with their friends and coworkers or they take to the Internet, where they discuss them with fervor on Twitter and Facebook. Suddenly, watching a television show has become a communal experience, in that we become so attached to a show that we feel the need to share in it with others, lending out whole seasons on DVD or encour-aging nonviewers to catch up on Netflix or Hulu. Now, more than ever, we are witnessing television at its creative peak. These are some of the most compelling and origi-nal television shows in years, and the obsessive fan culture is a direct result of this upward surge in qual-ity. And the best part is that there is something out there for everyone, whether you appreciate the afore-mentioned dramas or still prefer to spend your nights in the comforting arms of a good old-fashioned sit-com like “The Big Bang Theory” or “How I Met Your Mother.” You don’t have to feel ashamed to turn on the television anymore, because chances are there is some-thing out there that will give you something to think about.

Have you ever heard of Kennesaw, Ga.? Most peo-ple have not. It’s a simple Georgia town with one truly unique aspect: it is the only city in the United States that legally requires the head of every household, with some exceptions, to possess a fire-arm and proper ammunition within the house. Yes, you read that cor-rectly. The city legislature mandates that every head of house own a gun and ammunition to match it. This law was passed in 1982 and remains in effect today in the city of about 30,000. For 31 years now, the crime rates within Kennesaw city limits have been steadily declining and continue to fall well below the national aver-age. In the first two decades of the law’s existence, there were three murders inside city limits, two of which were committed with knives. Such a law may sound unconstitutional to you. The American Civil Liberties Union thought so and chal-lenged the ordinance in fed-eral court. They lost. It is entirely constitutional. Persons with physical and/or mental disabilities, paupers (translation: the poor), convicted felons and conscientious objectors are exempt from the gun law and no person has actually been convicted for violating it. In case you’re still not entirely sure that this town is safe with so many regis-tered guns in its midst, you should know that in 2007, Family Circle magazine named Kennesaw as one of the nation’s 10 best towns for families. Yet we don’t hear much about Kennesaw in the midst of today’s growing gun debates. Many fellow fire-arms owners I know attri-bute this to the mainstream media and others fearing a society that is mostly armed and educated in firearm use and ethics. An educated populace that is armed is a frightening thing to those in positions of power, because it means

they must keep themselves in check or the populace will do it for them. The thought of the majority of a population legally owning firearms may be disconcerting to some. That is entirely under-standable. Firearms have the potential to cause great damage and must be kept, maintained and uti-lized by persons educated and/or experienced in these matters. But then again, so do cars, air-planes, boats, power tools, any type of open flame and many species of domesticated animal. None of these things are unsafe by themselves (argu-ments could be made for fire and animals, but good luck ban-ning candles and cattle ranches) and are only as good as the individual operating them. We the people are the problem, not the devices we implement to accomplish our own ends. CNN news anchor Piers Morgan referred to gun owner-ship leading to a “Wild-West type environment.” That state-ment is probably more accurate than he realized, although with a rather different meaning. Consider that in the second half of the 1800s, the days of Western icons and outlaws, most people in communities west of the Mississippi carried firearms on their person almost everywhere they went. And despite what Hollywood and popular fiction stories show, murder rates within towns

were surprisingly lower than what we often assume them to have been. Most urban crimes with fire-arms were committed by gangs (which still exist today, and still with guns) who drew their power and audacity from num-bers; individuals who ambushed their victims away from high traffic parts of town; and drunk persons. It should also be noted that many saloons required their patrons to leave their guns with the barkeeper and if they were too drunk or surly, the weapons would not be returned until their owner had sobered up. The Wild West was not nearly as trigger happy as most people consider it to be. Consider the psychology behind it, which is still appli-cable today: in a town where lots of people openly carry their guns on them, less people would be inclined to use a weap-on that is audible from across town because they would likely induce equal harm to them-selves shortly after their crime. It is significantly more diffi-cult to prey on somebody when that person is equally equipped to defend themselves against potential predators. Remember the environments where many of the recent newsworthy shootings have taken place: schools and other venues, such as movie theaters, where (in most states) individuals may not carry firearms. The main issue in the main-stream media today is whether or not to ban legal ownership

of assault weapons. Essentially, the argument is whether to allow citizens to lawfully own rifles that use magazines or other devices that allow the weapon to fire 10 or more bul-lets quickly before the shooter needs to reload. The main model of weapon in this debate is the AR-15, which is a civilian variant of the standard rifle used by U.S. military forces. These rifles are expensive and, due to size and shape, are incredibly difficult to conceal when being trans-ported or carried. AR-15s and most other assault weapons are generally kept for home defense or recreational trips to the local

firing range. Monitoring and controlling who is allowed to legally pur-chase guns is absolutely nec-essary. Background checks, pre-screening and mandatory training must be done and done well, but limiting what eligible gun owners are able to pur-chase is not in the public’s best interest. Why not? Because criminals aren’t exactly known for fol-lowing the law. So, somebody who has decid-ed to commit murder on any scale has already decided that they have no regard for the law, and without that regard, they will not be confined to legal

methods of acquiring arms. Black markets exist whenever a product is restricted or denied to the general populace. So laws limiting what good, lawful citizens are able to protect themselves will hurt nobody but the victims because they are denied equal equip-ment to protect themselves and those around them. If we allow ourselves to be limited in how we legally defend ourselves, we are mak-ing ourselves prey for those who do not adhere to the law.

THEATRE REVIEW

The auditorium of the Oster Rgent Theatre shook with applause and screams at house manager Dylan Martin’s pre-show announce-ment. “Don’t turn off your phone,” Martin advised. “Put your phone on vibrate and put it in your pocket!” Sissy’s Sircus is a bur-lesque troupe based in the Cedar Valley. The company’s mission statement, according to the Sissy’s Sircus website, is: “Sissy’s Sircus creates an inclusive environment that offers a creative outlet for young artists in a supportive community.” “We want the audience to feel the same way, that they won’t be judged for their life-styles or personalities, and can feel free to be themselves when they are with us,” Missy Paar, assistant stage manager of the production, explained. “Into the Jungle” is the company’s fourth show at the historic Oster Regent Theatre in downtown Cedar Falls. The energy in the Oster Regent Theater was electric.

There was an anxious, excit-ed buzz that filled the room, almost as much as the fog and smoke that wafted around the heads of the at-capacity audi-ence. Even through the haze, it was clear that some present were unsure of what was to come, while others felt com-pletely at home. And yet, the majority of the assembled crowd, a mishmash of differ-ent ages, styles and lifestyles, sat, antsy in their seats, await-ing the arrival of the Misfits. The age-old curtain lifted. As the cloud of fog cleared, the Misfits (Sircus members) crash-landed on a green jungle planet. They were soon confronted by a tribe of scantily-clad natives. Two star-crossed lovers sparked an eruption of conflict between the two groups. Will the sepa-rate clans be able to embrace these lovers, overcome their differences and, most impor-tantly, party, all while being sexy and true to themselves? “Into the Jungle” tells the story of fear, love and accep-tance (of self and others) by wrapping its powerful mes-sage in a bombshell of blood, sweat, tears, sex and glitter

(especially sex and glitter). The performers take the audi-ence on a lengthy journey, showering them with song, thongs (not flip-flops), dance and plenty of high-heeled prancing, while ensuring that the positive message of the

show is not lost. “It’s hilarious, emotional, joyous and dark,” Paar said. “For some it might be shock-ing or a little uncomfortable, but for others it might not be enough.” Throughout the span of the performance, “Into the Jungle” was never short on pure, rhinestone-bedazzled entertainment. Songs from

popular and lesser-known art-ists, spanning many different genres, were interpreted in ways only Misfits could. With personae such as Mona Lott, Buster Cherri and SoFanda Vaj, the Misfits oozed confi-dence as they strutted their stuff on the stage. “There were a few jitters when I first joined the Sircus, but the more you perform, the more comfortable you become,” said Misfit David Barbour, who found himself showing more bare skin than clothing throughout the show. With outfits and dance moves that stunned and daz-zled, the Misfits left the audi-ence begging for more. This was clear from the positive reception of each joke, dance, song and scene during the show. Paar commented, “The audience has a huge influ-ence on our performances. We respond to them and feed off their energy.” Different races, sexuali-ties, genders and bodies were embraced and celebrated in this one of a kind spectacle. “Be who you want to be because we’re all human,” yelled a passionate Bryan

Allen, known onstage as Sissy. “Allow yourself to be your f---ing self !” Both those viewing the performance from the house and those onstage wept, danced, laughed and whooped the night away – all in the spirit of acceptance and love. As the house lights rose, the buzz and energy that was present before the lights dimmed was still alive and perhaps intensified. Based on the audience’s reactions as they streamed out to congratulate the Misfits, it would be unwise for any person to miss the space-jun-gle-disco-techno-inferno that is “Sissy’s Sircus: Into the Jungle.”

Octopus hosts INK! Performance SlamENTERTAINMENT

Octopus was jam-packed Monday night with the third annual INK! Performance Slam. A variety of people took the stage to display their talents in poetry, rap, spoken word, music and stand-up comedy. The event, which is held the first Monday of every month at Octopus on The Hill, gives members of the Cedar Valley the chance to show their work through open mic and fea-tured performances. Melina Gotera, the second week winner of the open mic portion, was given the oppor-tunity to be a featured performer this week. With memories of writing poems on Post-it notes and hiding them in her desk in elemen-tary school, she said she is appreciative of the opportunity this event has given her, as well as the other members of the community. “I think the event’s fantastic. We have been needing an open mic in the area for a while, and the environment was really inclusive,” Gotera said. Josh Hamzehee, University of Northern Iowa forensics speech coach and one of the organizers of the events, agreed. Hamzehee said he is also grateful for the bar’s generosity in hosting the event. “There are poetry slams here and there, but what about the other stuff ?” Hamzehee said. With an interest in spoken word perfor-mance, Gotera focuses her writing on her own experiences. “I used to write really sad, sad poems, but I am trying to convey more of my own positiv-ity because I’m really not a very sad person,” Gotera said. “Regardless, I have to be driven by some big experience or feeling to write well.” Suzy Miller, one of the Octopus bartend-ers, said, “The variety of talent we have in this community is outstanding.”

Miller, who has tended bar during all three performance slams, said she appreciates the talent as well as the business the events have given Octopus. “I realized while working this last event I knew many people by name, people who had come the first time back in November and have been frequent costumers since,” Miller said. “Many of the returning costumers have told me they enjoy the feel of the bar and the local events we host. I am happy to work at a place where students and residents of the town have a spot to come and express themselves and be surrounded with other gifted people.”

John June Year to perform at The HuB

The HuB will feature a night of music from three Iowa-based bands, starting at 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 18. John June Year, currently based in Cedar Falls and con-sisting of three University of Northern Iowa students, will perform around midnight. Greg Heysinger, Colin Sullivan and Kyle Saddoris formed the group as high school students in Clinton, Iowa. Since then, they’ve added bassist Michael Handley, moved to Cedar Falls and recently added key-board player Kyle Talbot. Described as a cross between The Strokes and The Velvet Underground, the band puts a unique spin on their music to distinguish themselves from those bands and other influences. “We have a very timeless, no frills, rock and roll sound that is very accessible even to the casual listener,” Heysinger said. The members of John June Year continue to travel and give shows in hopes that the crowds will continue to get

bigger. “Like any other original group we have the goal of getting our name out there, making a record we can all be proud of and then going on tour to support the record,” Talbot said. “We just keep getting better as musicians and songwriters, so it is easy to be optimistic about the future of the band.” The show will also include performances by Waterloo-based band Dylan Sires and Neighbors as well as Bright * Giant from Des Moines. “The bill for this show is stacked, and we are really excited to play with two great bands, Bright * Giant and Dylan Sires and Neighbors. People that have heard us before can expect to hear a few new tunes and people that have heard our music can expect to be surprised,” Talbot said. Attendees must be 18 and up and tickets can be pur-chased for $5 at the door. For a chance to win free tickets, like John June Year’s page on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.

Panthers go 3-4 over winter break

MEN’S BASKETBALLWOMEN’S BASKETBALL

UNI sits at 2-4 in MVC play

RILEY UBBENSports Writer

The University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team fin-ished the holiday break with three wins and four losses. However, the Panthers (7-9, 2-2 MVC) notched two Missouri Valley Conference victories over Indiana State University and Missouri State University. Redshirt senior guard Jacqui Kalin acquired a few individual awards during the break, as she was named the Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week on two separate occasions. The Panthers began their holi-day schedule with an in-state rival-ry game against the Iowa State University Cyclones in Cedar Falls. Kalin led the Panthers with 19 points as they fell short, dropping a 67-59 contest to the Cyclones. Redshirt freshman Jen Keitel added 10 points and 12 rebounds for UNI. In their next game, the Panthers lost a blowout to the University of Minnesota 86-43. However, the team bounced back to defeat St. Louis University 73-64. Kalin played her best game of the break as she nearly finished with a triple-double against the Billikens. Kalin finished with 25 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. Keitel, along with sophomore Brittni Donaldson and junior Jess McDowell, ended up with double-digit scoring as they, along with Kalin, combined for 62 of the Panthers’ 73 points. The Panthers dropped their first conference game to Illinois State University 72-41 as they shot just 16-for-54 from the floor for 29.6 percent. The 41 points scored by UNI was a season low. UNI won their first conference game against Indiana State as Keitel hit a buzzer beater off of a Kalin miss to give the Panthers the win. Although Keitel did not score until the very end, she finished with a career-high 13 rebounds. The Panthers followed up the win with a strong performance at home against Missouri State. Kalin’s 25 points and career-high six 3-point-ers led UNI to a 75-52 win. Kalin shot 67 percent from behind the 3-point arc as the Panthers knocked down a season high 15 3-pointers. The team shot 45 percent from the field but finished with an impressive 58 percent from behind the arc. However, UNI’s hot shooting did not continue into their next game against Wichita State University, as they fell 60-57 and shot just 28 percent from behind the 3-point line. Kalin was the only Panther to finish with double-digit scoring, with 22 points to go with her seven rebounds. The Panthers will attempt to get back in the win column against Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., on Friday at 6 p.m.

ERIN KEISER/Northern IowanUNI is 9-9 (2-4 MVC) this season. The Panthers are averaging 80.5 points per game in victories, while averaging just 56 points per game in losses.

The University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team sat at 6-3 head-ing into the holiday break. However, the Panthers have slid a little since that point and currently stand at 9-9 (2-4 MVC). Heading into break, the Panthers ventured off to the Big Four Classic in Des Moines, where they faced off against their in-state rivals, the University of Iowa Hawkeyes. The Panthers started the game off at an excellent pace, but were soon on the bottom looking up. After falling behind 40-32 at halftime, UNI was unable to retake the lead. Despite outscoring Iowa 41-40 in

the second half, the Panthers couldn’t find the bottom of the net with consis-tency and lost 80-73. The Hawkeyes made 12 3-pointers compared to just three by the Panthers. Despite the loss, the Panthers held their heads high and headed to Las Vegas, where their next challenge was the No. 21-ranked University of Nevada-Las Vegas Runnin’ Rebels. Marc Sonnen led the Panthers in scor-ing, putting up 15 points, but he was the only bright spot on a night when UNI struggled shooting the ball. The Panthers fell behind 43-22 in the first half and eventually lost 73-59. The Panthers kept their heads high and trudged back home to face Saint Mary’s College in what proved to be a shootout.

With four scorers in double figures over the course of the afternoon, the Panthers shot 50 percent from the field and 43 percent from 3-point range to knock off the highly talented team from California. The Gaels’ best player, senior guard Matthew Dellavedova, struggled and UNI pulled off an 82-75 victory to close out nonconference play at 7-5 overall. UNI headed into Missouri Valley Conference play on Dec. 30, when they faced Wichita State University in Wichita, Kan. Entering the game at 12-1, the Shockers looked like they might be the team to beat in the MVC, and they certainly played that way.

OPINION

UNI men’s basketball midseason awards The first half of the University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball season has not gone as expected. After 18 games, the Panthers are just 9-9 overall and 2-4 in Missouri Valley Conference play. While there is still lots of room for improvement (which will need to happen if the Panthers are even thinking about an NCAA Tournament bid), there have also been a few bright spots for this basketball team. While it would be fun for me to critique UNI and how

they can improve, I don’t want to start this new semester on a bad note. Instead, I give you the midseason awards. Drum roll please! Most underrated player: And the award goes to… Nate Buss. Ben Jacobson, if you read this, please give Buss more min-utes. The sophomore forward is averaging just 11.2 minutes per game, but he is one of only two Panthers to shoot over 40 percent behind the 3-point arc (minimum 20 shots taken). Buss is also second on the team in field goal percentage ERIN KEISER/Northern Iowan

UNI senior guard Anthony James (52) leads the Panthers in scoring, averaging 12.5 points per game this season.

WSU dominated the final 30 minutes of action in the conference opener and beat UNI soundly, 66-41. Erasing the Wichita State game from their minds, the Panthers headed back home to play Indiana State University. Trailing 37-32 at halftime, the Panthers put together a strong sec-ond-half performance, but it wasn’t enough, as UNI dropped to 0-2 in the MVC with a 65-61 loss. Despite being 0-2, the Panthers played one of their best games of the year on the road against the Illinois State University Redbirds, a team that was projected to finish second in the MVC during the preseason. UNI led for most of the game and cruised to a 70-60 road victo-ry. Seth Tuttle and Anthony James each earned 19 points to lead the Panthers.

UNI returned home for two more games against the University of Evansville and Bradley University. The Panthers split the two home games, suffering a heart-breaking 62-59 loss to the Purple Aces before bouncing back to pound the Braves 84-53. Sonnen scored 21 points against the Braves on 7-of-9 shooting from 3-point range – just one shy of the school’s individual record set by former Panther great Cam Johnson in 1993. Tuesday night the Panthers traveled to Omaha, Neb., to square off with No. 12-ranked Creighton University. UNI played well from start to finish, but the Bluejays shot 50 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, which was a major factor in the 79-68 outcome. UNI returns to action Sunday at 2 p.m. when they host their in-state rivals, the Drake University Bulldogs.

BASKETBALLcontinued from page 8

(minimum 50 shots taken) behind Seth Tuttle, who gets most of his shots right around the rim. At a time when UNI needs more offense, this guy could be the golden ticket to a strong second-half performance. Freshman of the half: I’ll cheat my way through this one. There were only three freshmen on the team to begin with, and one of those three has left the team. That leaves me with the choice of Matt Bohannon or Matt MacDougall. MacDougall has been given a redshirt, which leaves me with none other than Bohannon. Fun fact: when Bohannon was in the starting lineup, the Panthers went 5-0. The freshman guard is also shooting 90 percent from the free throw line, second to Matt Morrison (4-for-4). Interesting statistic: Under Coach Jacobson, the

Panthers are now 23-1 when they score more than 80 points in a game. Most Valuable Player of the half: I actually had a few guys in mind for this, but I’m giving the nod to senior guard Anthony James. Although he missed the first three games of the season, James has come back to lead the team in scoring with 12.5 points per game. He leads all guards on the team with 3.4 rebounds per game and is one of the biggest leaders on the court. James also became just the 10th Panther since 2001 to reach the 1,000 career point mark. After his 11-point game against Bradley University, James moved up to 28th on the all-time UNI scoring list. There is a lot of season left for this Panther team, which seems to never say never. Any team can get hot at the right time, and that’s what UNI will need to do if it wants to dance in March.

WRESTLING

UNI wrestling stays strong over holiday break The University of Northern Iowa wrestling team had a very busy holi-day break, competing in five meets. The Panthers competed well, win-ning three of the four dual meets and finishing 13th in the competitive Midlands Tournament. In the first home dual of the season, UNI dominated Ellsworth Community College 46-9. UNI recorded two technical falls and six pins, all of which came in less than 3 minutes, 30 seconds. Ellsworth’s only points came from a forfeit in the 125-pound weigh class and one match won by decision. UNI’s four returning NCAA national qualifiers took care of busi-ness, winning by pin. The qualifiers are Levi Wolfensperger at 133 pounds,

David Bonin at 157 pounds, Ryan Loder at 184 pounds and Blayne Beale at 285 pounds. Bart Reiter, wrestling at 149 pounds in his first action of the year for the Panthers, won with a pin in 1:16. Jarrett Jensen wrestled at 165 pounds and was the sixth Panther to record a pin, doing so in 2:57. The Panthers’ next competition was at the Midlands Tournament in Evanston, Ill. Of the 32 Division-I teams who competed in the tourna-ment, 15 were ranked in the USA Today Division-I Coaches Poll. The Panthers were impressive, fin-ishing in 13th place ahead of the No. 17-ranked University of Nebraska, No. 18-ranked University of Maryland, No. 21-ranked Purdue University and No. 22-ranked University of Pennsylvania. Two wrestlers medaled for UNI.

Loder finished in fourth place wres-tling at 184 pounds, with his only loss coming against Travis Rutt from the University of Oklahoma. Joey Lazor wrestled at 141 pounds and finished seventh. In their next dual meet, the Panthers completely shut down Iowa Western Community College 56-0. The Panthers recorded seven pins in the dominating victory. Senior Ryan Jauch got a technical fall in his first dual meet for UNI at 125 pounds. Bonin won by decision in the 157-pound weight class. Three Panthers recorded first-period pins; Lazor at 141 pounds, Jarrett Jensen at 165 pounds and Cody Caldwell at 174 pounds. Loder (184), Bart Reiter (149), A.J. McBroom (197) and Beale (285) also recorded pins. The Panthers continued their win-ning streak with a 40-6 win over

the University of Northern Colorado. UNI recorded four pins, one major decision and two decisions. Bonin won by forfeit. Loder set the tone with a major decision over Keith Johnson, improving his record to 18-3 while giving up only nine points all year. After that, UNI lost its only two matches by decision in the 197-pound and 285-pound weight classes. The last match for the Panthers over the holiday break was against No. 25 ranked Air Force. Coming into the meet, none of the Air Force wrestlers had lost a match. UNI competed well, spoiling a perfect season for five Air Force wrestlers, but ultimately fell 19-18. UNI returns home to host Oklahoma at 7 p.m. on Friday.
