The search for UNI’s replacement provost is entering its final stages; the final three candidate presen-tations are scheduled for the end of Frebruary and are open to the public.

“I think [President Ruud’s] hope is to identify someone by spring break, and that seems to be a rea-sonable expectation,” said John Johnson, history pro-fessor, executive vice presi-dent of academic affairs and chair of the Provost Search Committee.

The Provost Search Committee has been in pursuit of a replacement since the fall of 2014 after then-provost Gloria Gibson officially stepped down. President Ruud promptly named Dr. Michael J. Licari interim provost — a posi-tion he has occupied for nearly seven months since Gibson’s resignation.

The Provost Search

Committee consists of 19 members, including faculty, staff, NISG President Kevin Gartman and a member of the Board of Regents.

“The committee works very well together — they are can-do people and they want to get the job done right,” Johnson said. “We’ve been very busy since September. This is the criti-cal, visible stage, but we have been doing a lot quietly and confidentially.”

At this point in the search, the committee has shortlist-ed five candidates, two of whom have completed their formal interviews and pre-sentations. These two can-didates are Michael J. Licari and A. James Wohlpart. All candidate interviews and presentations should be completed by the middle of February.

For Johnson, whichever candidate the President chooses will face many important issues.

“The provost sets the tone for our institution. He

or she is the person that we look to for leadership, and the person that the President looks to for lead-ership, on the academic side of the University,” Johnson said.

Anyone can look up the candidates’ resumes, presen-tations, and the presentation dates for the remaining can-didates on UNI’s website at http://www.vpaf.uni.edu/provostsearch/index.shtml.

According to Licari’s resume, his scholarly and teaching experience lies in the fields of political sci-ence and public policy, with the majority of his admin-istrative experience coming in-house from UNI, includ-ing his current position as interim provost.

Wohlpart is currently serving as dean of under-graduate studies at Florida Gulf Coast University. His scholarly and teaching experience rests in English and philosophy.

They may one day be mayors, representatives, senators or even presi-dents. And they were right here on the University of Northern Iowa’s campus.

The Northern Iowa Student Government held a training session pro-gram, “Elect her- Panther Women Win,” Saturday, Jan. 24 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The objective of “Elect Her” is to increase the num-ber of women interested in running for political office, according to UNI student liaisons Rachel Gregory and Kerri Robinson.

This is the first time a school in Iowa has been chosen for this national

program as a training site. 49 participants regis-

tered for the event held in the Old Central Ballroom in Maucker Union. The participants represented a range of academic pro-grams, classes and inter-ests. Gregory and Robinson explained most program attendees either participat-ed because they want to get involved in student gov-ernment or to bolster their general leadership abilities.

The morning began with a light breakfast followed by introductions with appearances by President Ruud, Iowa State Chapter President Maureen White, “Elect Her” Facilitator Mollie Lam in addition to Gregory and Robinson.

Students had a chance to view the stars from a place a bit less chilly than the outdoors Thursday night. In a planetarium in 105 Latham Hall, stu-dents can view the stars each Thursday until spring break. These shows are put on by Siobahn Morgan, professor of astronomy and department head for earth science.

The pressing question addressed in the open forum presentations was how the administration should differentiate UNI’s academic/curricular mission from those of other universities. The University of Iowa and Iowa State University have more research-based missions while Iowa’s community colleges have trade-based missions. As Iowa’s sole comprehensive university, UNI focuses on both research and teaching to prepare students for jobs.

“The worst-case scenario for a University is to be relatively expensive and completely undifferentiated,” Licari said in his presentation, citing a recent report by Bain & Company.

Licari also focused on prioritizing undergraduate education, embracing the unique roles of our faculty (professors as teacher-scholars, as opposed to researchers) and focusing our efforts to improve communities at the local and state level. Licari concluded by highlighting the importance of providing increased access

PROVOSTcontinued from page 1

Lam continued the program by initiating discussions on topics regarding the importance of women running for office and focused on four main exercises titled “campaign strategy,” “elevator speech,” “campaign simulation” and “What’s your issue?”

The program included speeches by Dr. Dianne Bystrom from Iowa State University, “The Importance of Message” and State Rep. Timi Brown-Powers, “Working Lunch – Making an Impact.”

A video message from Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds and voices of NISG officials Kristen Buldhaupt, Victoria Hurst, Heather Place and Beth Sullivan were also included.

NISG has made a huge impact on its members, especially the current president of NISG, Kevin Gartman.

Gartman, a senior business teaching major, expressed how motivated NISG’s mem-bers are to serve UNI stu-dents. Gartman said being able to promote leadership opportunities and learning experiences helping to edu-cate on matters of diversity, equality or even how food is delivered to your plate is a wonderful experience.

“But the feeling that you get when a student has a conversation or sends you an email about the motivation or inspiration they get from attending one of these events — the personal connection — that is the reason NISG continues to fund and put on programs like we do.”

to education, namely to non-traditional students and students who may come from a lower socioeconomic status.

Wohlpart’s presentation outlined the importance of a university’s vision, mission and strategic plan. He acknowledged that a comprehensive institution needs to have and does have a wide focal scope. However, UNI may need to narrow the focus to provide integrity.

This does not mean gutting the Liberal Arts Core and reinventing UNI as a trade school.

“I want to talk about a very pressing issue in higher education, and that’s what I call, ‘the vocationalization of higher education,’” Wohlpart said.

Wohlpart knows the value of a liberal arts education, but emphasized the significance of applied learning. Wohlpart stated that he would incorporate the importance of applied learning through the means of internships and integrative learning — that is, faculty-student collaborations that apply principles learned in the classroom.

The remaining candidates will present from Feb. 1 through Feb. 10; all presentations will take place at 3:30 p.m. in the Lang Hall auditorium.

Attending the open forum will provide UNI students with a model for excellent public speaking and presentation skills, Johnson said.

“I think going to the open forum would give students an opportunity to see how thoughtful people deal with big issues. The presentations are very formal and well prepared,” Johnson said. “For people who are training for careers that will involve public speaking and presentation, this is a good opportunity to see people who do it well.”

Missing funds revealed

According to a report published by the Iowa Office of the Auditor, there were some improper disbursements of funds made by Daniel Wells, the former director of International Dance Theatre, a student group at the University of Northern Iowa. The report, released on Jan. 22, alleges that Wells disbursed checks totaling $11,690 to himself

from an account set up for IDT at a local credit union. The report also noted that Wells wrote $8350 in checks from his personal checking account to the IDT’s account. Further, the report alleges that an estimated $3250 from ticket sales and payment for a recital at a Germanfest event remains undeposited. The report recommends better oversight for university funds. The investigation spanned Dec. 1, 2005 to Feb. 28, 2014.

Ernst misses the purpose at SOTU

Being a senior English major, I have spent my fair share of time in UNI’s com-puter labs, hashing out last-minute papers, printing off short stories for my fiction workshops, or researching for upcoming papers, so with a large number of clocked hours in these computer labs, I have a list of unofficial rules I wish were in place. I will admit that some of these fall into my own personal list of pet peeves, but most of them should be common sense (although if I’m hav-ing to bring them up, maybe they aren’t). I also have to preface that most of these rules apply to smaller com-puter labs where there isn’t a lot of room and any noise is, well, noticeable. Very notice-able. And usually annoying. Anyway, here we go.

1. Do not use small com-puter labs for large group work. I love it when four or

five people cluster around one computer, using the chairs, but not using the comput-ers. Great. I’ll just kneel here awkwardly without a chair. I also love it when you argue loudly about what you’re doing, how your assignment is unfair, or how much you dislike a professor’s teaching style. Favorite bonus is when three of you print off the same thing. The same thing that happens to be 30 pages long. And then you throw away the extra copies. Not recycling them, but putting them in the trash. Fabulous.

2. Don’t talk absurdly loud with your friends. I know, I get it, I love hanging out with my friends too, but when I

have to blast music through my headphones to concen-trate on writing my paper, you are probably talking too loud. Technically speaking, since these computer labs exist on UNI’s campus, anyone trying to get work done has prece-dence, and although you prob-ably don’t know I’m writing an eight page paper on femi-nist criticism, it’s always good to assume people are trying to get school work done, unlike you, who are talking about last night’s epic bar crawl.

3. Use. Headphones.4. But also don’t blare your

music. Then I have to blare my music, which means some-one has to blare their music to cover up my music, and then we’re all going deaf.

5. Please, please, please do not print off obnoxious amounts of pages when there’s a lot of people in the lab. It’s probably for an impor-tant class, and you do prob-ably have to print them off, but you see this line behind you? Yeah, we’d also like to get to class, only we didn’t try to print off half a book. Also, don’t glare at me when I have to interrupt your book-

printing process by printing off two pages.

6. Don’t sit in a spot if you are using your own laptop and not the desktop computer. Between class breaks it gets really crowded and desper-ate students need to print off things before running to class. You taking up that spot most likely means they have to run to a different lab. And lastly:

7. Be aware of your space. Don’t leave your chair block-

ing other people. Don’t leave your backpack and coat in the middle of the aisle. I swear I’m not that big of a klutz, but your huge bag tripped me up while I was trying to get my two pages of paper from the printer, after waiting in line behind two people print-ing off 35-page PDF files when the printer runs a page, pauses, whirrs a bit, starts up again, prints a page, pauses, whirrs a bit, starts up again, etc.

Basic etiquette while working in computer labs

In another attempt to represent Iowa in a respect-ful manner, newly elected Senator Joni Ernst was given the opportunity to present the official GOP rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union address on Jan. 20.

Standing in front of a green screen, Joni Ernst appeared to be trying to make viewers feel as if she was addressing them from Iowa, the Iowa state flag clearly visible in the background. Ernst, now a U.S. Senator, was obviously in attendance for the President’s speech in the nations capital.

President Obama laid out a clear agenda on specifically what his administration was going to do over the next two years. Joni Ernst on the other hand felt the need to make sure that everyone in the country got to know her, regardless of if they were willing to listen or not.

One of the most impor-tant issues discussed that eve-ning was the proposed bill regarding the construction of the Keystone Pipeline.

President Obama has

warned that this project will not bring any viable employ-ment especially once con-struction of the pipeline is actually complete.

Joni Ernst continued to trick Americans into think-ing this was a benefit to the country, insisting that not only would this project bring significant employment, but that it would have minimal environmental effects.

Of course it is an obvious fact that the structure of a steel tube itself pumping oil from one place to another isn’t necessarily harming the environment, but Ernst for-gets that the substance that is being pumped through that steel tube will eventually end up having detrimental effects on the environment. Not to mention that it is not even American oil, it is Canadian. It turns out that Barack Obama doesn’t hate America after all!

Ernst likes to throw out a lot of topics on the table, but then she doesn’t finish her course. She talks about stagnant wages, but I did not hear her explain why she then has voted against a minimum wage increase in the state of Iowa.

In another desperate attempt for the Republican party to pretend they know what the “real” American is going through, Ernst deliv-

ered us a Sarah Palin-like one liner that was crafted to ensure it touched the lives of average people across the nation. Ernst informed us that her family did not have much but the sweat on their brow, so when it would rain she would tie bread bags to the outside of her shoes in order to protect them.

Again, instead of giving us an answer, let alone an honest

answer, Ernst stayed on script and pretended to act like she was qualified to give the address to begin with; after all she had already served 17 days in the Senate up to this point.

Most of the impractical and downright partisan poli-cies that are most likely to be presented and passed in Congress throughout the next two years are likely to be

vetoed by President Obama. Until then, let’s hope our

elected leaders actually think about their constituents and address the problems that are occurring throughout the country. Most importantly, let’s hope our elected lead-ers think about what they are going to say before going on national television, especially when they are representing the home state of yours truly.

Foam ballin’ blastBongo ball, hosted by

the Campus Activities Board, created quite a bit of noisy fun in the Maucker Union Ballroom Thursday night.

Though they have host-ed similar activities such as laser tag in the past, CAB has never brought bongo ball to campus before.

Wendy Grimm, senior public relations major and executive member of CAB, classified the event as a de-stressing activity for the students on campus due to the second week of class.

The ballroom was

transformed into a paint-ball obstacle course, filled with inflatable paintball bunkers for players to hide behind.

Students played a game similar to paintball and capture the flag. Teams competed to capture one another’s flags while dodg-ing foam balls shot out of defender cannons.

Teams of five were dis-tinguished by different colored sweatbands pro-vided by CAB.

Though the gear worn by participants were near-ly identical to that used for paintball, the game did not include paint or another well-known aspect to the original game, pain.

Grimm guaranteed that though being shot may hurt a little bit, it did not compare to being hit by a paintball.

“It was intense,” said Jayda Reams, freshman anthropology major.

Reams success ful ly avoided being hit by her opponents during her first round of bongo ball.

CAB has many more recreational act ivit ies planned for UNI students this semester including: the annual Egg Hunt, Battle Ball and Spring Week. CAB will also be providing students with free tickets to the Waterloo Black Hawks game on Feb. 27.

FILM REVIEW

Salem. Selma. Two places where persecution and prejudice took place and mark a dark page in American history. While this movie is only about the latter, it’s just very interesting that both towns are an anagram of each other and the same sort of problems happened in both places.

Directed by Ava DuVernay and written by Paul Webb and DuVernay, “Selma” is a fantastic pre-sentation of the Selma

to Montgomery Right to Vote Marches of 1965. With the Golden Globe of Best Original Song and four Golden Globe nominations- Best Motion Picture, Director, Drama and Actor, Selma is deserv-ing of those nominations.

David Oyelowo plays the role of Martin Luther King Jr. with amazing finesse and ability. His manner-isms and acting style are very reminiscent of King. Tom Wilkinson plays the morally conflicted President Lyndon Johnson clashing with King and the governor of Alabama,

George Wallace (played by Tim Roth) over the voting rights marches.

Some experts have raised qualms about the historical accuracy about the events in the film, particular the tense interactions between King and Johnson, but director DuVernay coun-ters this criticism by stat-ing that she is a storyteller, not a historian, and thus able to tweak the details to suit her needs.

Even with this in mind, “Selma” presents all of the details, truthfully or not, with utmost respect to both sides of the civil

rights movement. “Selma” could have eas-

ily been a typical black versus white anti-racism movie. But it goes deeper than that. The hate crimes that occur are not blamed on one group of people, but rather on the ideals that fuel the hatred, such as racism.

An important aspect that “Selma” also points out as evil is the inde-cision and indifference people exhibit when such social issues come about. Simply put; doing nothing is the same as commit-ting the evil itself. That’s

where “Selma” got its power. It doesn’t rely on showing the whites beat-ing down on the blacks. It gives you the middle ground and shows you the whole story besides just blaming it all on narrow minded white men.

“Selma” is a visual treat, with Bradford Young (“Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”) handling the cin-ematography with expert skill. The grainy, muted colors of the film quality and the costuming give a good feel for the 60’s.

“ I t ’ s i m p o r t a n t because it’s educational, it’s informative, and it’s free,” Morgan said.

She said she tel ls students about what’s going on in the sky as well as what students can look out for and find for themselves such as stars, constellations and planets.

In fact, Morgan said that there was a comet visible the week before, and there are other things she will mention at later shows.

Not all of these shows will be in the planetari-um. After spring break, they will move outside to the observatory.

“Going outs ide in January and February just doesn’t really appeal to people,” Morgan said.

Helping Morgan with these shows was Maddie Beeler, junior earth sci-ence major.

“I get to oversee what Dr. Morgan does and I’ve learned something new from her every time she does these shows. When

we’re at the observatory I show people the vis-ible objects while Dr. Morgan operates the telescope,” Beeler said.

Anne Rollins, fresh-man undecided major, attended the event this past Thursday.

“I thought it was real-ly cool that you could incor por ate anc i en t mythology and all that into something that’s so present today,” Rollins said.

Rollins attended the event with Andy Saigh, f r eshman market ing major.

“I thought it was real-ly cool how you could see even future skies. . .how you could see what was out there right now even though it’s all clouded over,” Saigh said.

For those who want a little extra credit, or simply to see some stars on a cold, cloudy night, the planetarium shows may be something to check out.

“It’s a nice thing to do on a Thursday night; to lear n about what’s always up in the night sky,” Morgan said.

ANDI KING/Northern IowanA constellation of Orion projects on the walls in the planetarium. Planetarium shows occur twice in 105 Latham Hall on Thursdays at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.

In high school and mid-dle school, there would always be those movies the teachers would show on national holidays, usually including MLK day.

I hope that this is one of those movies that they

show. It is very well done and even though slight-ly inaccurate, it gets the point across with enough emotion and power to make it worthwhile and gives you a good insight on the dream and fight for peace by one man.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Late 3-pointer lifts UNI over ISUNate Buss knocked in a

3-pointer with :06 remain-ing as the Panthers won a grind-it-out game on the road at Illinois State 54-53 Sunday.

The Redbirds went on a 30-6 run midway through the second half to give themselves a 46-34 lead with 10:48 remaining.

Buss ended the ISU run with a 3-pointer, helping UNI start a run of their own as the Panthers found themselves down one, 46-45 with just under seven min-utes remaining.

Marvin Singleton’s first-made 3-pointer of the sea-son came at an opportune time as it gave UNI a 49-48 lead, their first since the 15:25 mark in the second half. Singleton added nine points on 4-5 shooting with 5 rebounds.

Illinois State’s Bobby

Hunter answered back with a 3-pointer of his own to regain the lead and put his team up two with 2:26 left.

Seth Tuttle put in a layup to tie it up at 51-51 before both defenses took control down the stretch.

Tuttle scored a game-high 21 points and added a game-high 10 rebounds.

The next bucket game

almost two minutes later as Lee Paris banked in a floater off the drive with :26 sec-onds remaining to give ISU a two point lead.

Jeremy Morgan missed an open 3-pointer that result-ed in a Buss foul with :12 left. Daishon Knight missed the front end of the one-and-one attempt that was secured by Tuttle before a UNI timeout.

Wes Washpun attacked the middle of the Redbird defense, resulting in Buss’ game-winning 3-pointer from the corner.

The Panthers trav-el to Carbondale, Ill. on Wednesday to take on Southern Illinois at 7 p.m.

TRACK AND FIELD WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Panthers finish strong at Big 4 UNI holds off Sycamores, 57-55

The University of Northern Iowa women’s track and field team swept Iowa, Iowa State and Drake at the Big 4 Duals while the men’s team took down Iowa State and Drake in Ames on Saturday.

Darian Samuelson fin-ished fourth in the women’s 200 meters with a personal best indoor time of 25.93. Samuelson went on to fin-ish second in the 400 meters with another career-best time of 56.29 seconds.

Amber Clock and Alex Wilson had strong perfor-mances in the middle-dis-tance events as Clock finished second in the 800 meters while Wilson set a new per-sonal best in the mile run on her way to a first place finish.

Jamie Lindstrom won both the shot put and the weight throw on Saturday, coming up with a new personal best in the weight throw that was good enough to move her up to fifth place all time at UNI with a throw of 60-1.75.

On the men’s side, Brandon Carnes set a school record in the 60 meter dash with a

time of 6.69 on his way to a win in the event. Carnes also had a strong showing in the 200 meters as he went on to finish second.

Sebastian Barth won the 60 meter hurdles for the sec-ond straight weekend and UNI had three athletes qual-ify for the final heat in the event.

The Panthers return to the track on Friday, Jan. 30 as they kick off the week-end with the Jack Jennett Invitational before moving onto the Panther Quad Meet on Saturday in the UNI-Dome.

The University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team needed a late go ahead bucket from sophomore guard Madison Weekly to defeat Indiana State 57-55 Sunday.

Weekly was able to score four points in the final minute, includ-ing the go-ahead bucket with 8.4 seconds left to help secure the Panthers’ road victory. Weekly finished with 12 points on the afternoon.

The Sycamores began the game with a 5-0 run, but UNI used a few runs to open up a
