Phi U hosts suicide prevention walk

Dancing el noche away at Latino Ball

Future teachers make the next step

Students grabbed a mask and stepped onto the dance floor Saturday for a night filled with music, mystery and a lit-tle Latino flare. The Hispanic Latino Student Union’s 14th annual Latino Ball was held in the Maucker Union ballroom.

“I had a great time,” said

Osvaldo de los Rios, senior man-agement and information sys-tems major. “I got to hang out with all my friends and dance a little bit.”

Alexis Alfaro, vice president of the Hispanic Latino Student Union, said they expected about 150 students for the dinner held before the dance.

Last Wednesday, the College of Education induct-ed 200 UNI students into its teacher education program.

The induction was held in the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center, and about 60 students attended the ceremony.

Becky Wilson Hawbaker,

coordinator of student field experience, served as the master of ceremo-nies and presented the stu-dents entering the program. DeWitt Jones, associate pro-fessor of educational leader-ship and postsecondary edu-cation gave the convocation address.

Friday’s overcast sky gave way to a near cloudless Saturday morning for the first Out of the Darkness Walk, hosted by UNI’s branch of Phi Upsilon Omicron. Phi U is a national honor society in family and consumer sciences.

“I think it was a really big success ... we’ve had a lot of on the spot registrations,” said Rachel Foote, president of Phi U.

Adjunct professor Christy Kessens, whose fiance com-mitted suicide years before, brought the event to Phi U’s attention, said Paige Hoffman, vice president of Phi U.

Kessens takes a poll every year to determine how many students have been affected by suicide in some way, said

Samantha Frederick, member of Phi U.

Phi U took its own poll of its members and found that every member of the orga-nization had been affected by suicide.

“This was something that really hit close to home for everybody,” Frederick said.

After deciding on the proj-ect, Phi U paired with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to help set up the event.

“Planning had been good, rough in some areas because we haven’t planned a walk before, but we managed to make it work,” Hoffman said.

Participants joined the walk for various reasons, with some personally affected and others just happy to partici-pate.

“I’ve gone through some

problems; I just needed it and I’ve lost people to suicide,” said Caitlin Wilson, freshman business major.

Many walkers said they would participate in the walk again, including Emily Powers, freshman social work major, and Ashley Hansen, freshman criminology major, who were invited to the event by a friend.

After the ceremony, students and audience members were invited to a reception in the lobby of the GBPAC.

Emily Bachmeier, sopho-more math education major and inductee to the teaching pro-

gram, said her passion for math and helping kids drove her into the program. She also cited the university’s way of preparing future teachers as a reason for joining.

“I think that (UNI’s teaching program) is unique in that not every school does the Level 1 field experience,” Bachmeier said. “ … We are so well-known and

we have such a unique experi-ence with the levels, and over the years it has been built up as a really strong program. People know that if you’ve been through the UNI teacher education, then you’re a quality teacher.”

APRIL 7, 2014 | NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | VOLUME 110, ISSUE 48

I will forego objectivity today because what I will talk about afflicts me as well as it may you: depression. Depression is debilitating, destructive, incapacitating. I am not speaking so much to those who need to understand it, but to those who suffer it. I’ve lived with it for 20 years and wish to impart some knowledge and some advice.

Citing a study conducted by the America Psychological Association, NPR says, “Researchers say severe mental illness is more common among college students than it was a decade ago, with most young people seeking treatment for depression and anxiety.” Thus, it is relevant to you. College is full of stresses, and added to them are those of daily life. With our disability, we may find these stresses more difficult to overcome, and sometimes survive.

To the rest of you, I will just say this: We aren’t faking it, our obstacles are real, we aren’t seeking your attention, nor are we weak, lazy or self-pitying. Also, you may one day be one of us. There are different kinds of depression, and some kinds do not manifest until later in life.

To my fellow depressives, I’ll give the bad news first. We have 2,000 years of Western philosophy against us. The idea that the mind and the body are two separate things permeates our culture and is an ideology tacitly accepted even by those who have never read René Descartes. Depression as a condition represents an aberration in this order, and aberration cannot be tolerated. Instead, it is deemed our minds are weak, as depression is not a thing of the body. Psychology and neuroscience have demonstrated the falsity of this belief.

Chemicals in the brain drive our mood. But even those who acknowledge this seem to think there is some higher personality that should be able to control these feelings.

This leads to my first bit of advice.

Accept that most others will not understand. They may try, but they can’t grasp your worldview. There is little use in being angry with them. You have enough bad feeling within you. Don’t add to it. Accept help offered with good grace and remove from your life those who tell you to get over it and “man up.”

Accept that this could be for life. Therefore, you must change things to accommodate this. The most crucial thing I can tell you is to make a daily routine and follow it. All will not go according to the routine, but you must also learn to bounce back from the setback. It does no good to grope through life.

Be mindful of your thoughts and actions. Mindfulness will make you aware of what you do, why you do it and what things trigger bad episodes. It will also teach you to be calm.

You cannot go it alone. Find friends, therapists, support groups. You aren’t alone. You feel you are in a hell of one. You needn’t be.

What ails you and what may aid you

In the 1970s, social psychologist Milton Rokeach created the Rokeach Value Survey consisting of two sets of values: terminal and instrumental. Recently in a psychology class, I had the opportunity to take the terminal values test, which measures “desirable end-states of existence.” After reading over the list of 18 values, I selected “A World At Peace” as the number one value I’d like to have the opportunity to see by the end of my lifetime.

I later discovered how unsettling this value survey could prove to be as I proceeded to sit through the entire period and listen to the professor ridicule the class for not choosing this option as their number one value (although I had selected it, I did not raise my hand to share that I had). The professor went to great lengths explaining that we didn’t select this option because we don’t have

to worry about the draft, we don’t think about the war(s) we’re in and we’re under-informed. Furthermore, the professor hinted to the fact that we didn’t care.

I was initially offended with the professor’s nonchalant, humorous approach to the subject. However, instead of letting this professor’s innocuous comment go undisputed, it inspired me to not only make the distinction between my worldliness and that of the rest of our aspiring leaders, but to help encourage our community in its entirety to recognize how fortunate we all are.

The week I took the survey, I watched a startling video on upworthy.com from the perspective of a child in Syria, a war-torn country. I was shocked into the realization of

my extreme opulence. I flashed back to Thanksgiving dinners where some well-to-do family member suggested we share what we were thankful for. I remember rolling my eyes in mild annoyance, thinking, “Does anyone really mean any of this?”

This class session shocked me to my core, but interestingly, I’m feeling extremely appreciative of my life. Those Thanksgiving dinners are starting to really resonate with me. I am thankful for my arms, legs, vision and body because that means I can enjoy life to the fullest. I am grateful to have a boyfriend who adores me even when I don’t deserve it, as it represents a lasting support system. I am blessed to have loving family and friends that reflect the best humanity has to offer. I am happy to have student loans because that means I am part of the 25 percent of the population receiving an education.

Depending on which site you consult, there are an upwards of 40 wars/conflicts occurring, excluding civil wars. As American college students, we are among some of the most elite in the

world, but that doesn’t mark us as indifferent, callous or ignorant. Across the nation, there are students just like us organizing efforts to assist those in countries denigrated by war. And you can help – just

visit www.savethechildren.org.

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to rank my values. I selected “A World At Peace” as my number one, and I’m proud of it.

The seventh annual Honors Week kicked off this Saturday. The event, which runs through April 12, rec-ognizes the various orga-nizations and students on campus that value scholastic achievement. The University Honors Program organized the events.

“Honors Week is designed to be a celebration of scholas-tic efforts that are going on on campus. So an idea of cel-ebrating academic excellence — that’s what it’s rooted in,” said Jessica Moon, director of the Honors Program.

The Honors Program worked with various honor societies to put together events the organizations wanted to showcase on cam-pus. Two of the events are writing thank you letters to the military and walking for depression and suicide awareness.

Hilary Tanner, presi-dent of the Honors Student Advisory Board, said her role is to make sure HSAB pro-vides events and publicizes Honors Week.

“I am lucky to have not only an amazing executive

board to work with, but also a great group of students as active, contributing mem-bers in HSAB,” Tanner said. “They have worked hard to plan the Last Blast and new events like yarn bombing.”

The Honors Program puts on both the Last Blast Dance and Honors Research Day. The Last Blast Dance is a masquerade with pro-vided masks, door prizes and a photo booth. Honors Research Day allows students from the Honors Program to present their undergradu-ate research for their thesis

work.“All of us in HSAB and

the Honors Program are very excited about Honors Week. All of the participat-ing groups have put in hard work to make these events happen, and we hope to see a great turnout of UNI stu-dents,” Tanner said.

The full schedule of events can be found online at www.uni.edu/honors/hon-ors-week-2014. While most events are open to the public, some are private events. This is decided by the organiza-tion hosting the event.

Celebrating scholastic achievement at UNI

Critic marvels at new ‘Captain America’ film

Marvel continued to outdo itself with the release of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”

As Steve Rodgers, or Captain America (Chris Evans), tries to find his pur-pose in the 21st century, a new threat surfaces. The threat may compromise S.H.E.I.L.D., and it brings with it elements from Steve’s past and the history of the world itself.

As custom with Marvel movies, the focus is not entirely on the title charac-ter. The movie is a team-up between Captain America and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson). Other recur-ring faces are Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Maria Hill (Colbie Smulders) and, of course, Stan Lee.

Another prevalent con-cept in Marvel productions is the careful threading of sto-rylines. Peppered throughout the movie were references to other heroes (Iron Man and the Hulk) and other story-lines.

The seemingly never-end-ing story of “The Winter Soldier” stretched from the Captain’s origins in the 1940s to 2014. Though we saw one side of the story in “Captain America: The First Avenger,” a completely new side was revealed in “Captain America: The Winter Solider,” creating an intense and mind-blowing continuation of the Captain’s story.

The movie was fast-paced

and action packed, achieving intensity from the start and preserving it until the end. Though there wasn’t as much city destruction as there was in “The Avengers,” there was plenty of car chases, explosions and intense fight sequences. If someone had to describe the heroic essence of Captain America, they would have to say his shield and amazing acrobatic skills. The show of acrobatic fight-ing made the hand-to-hand combat scenes all the more interesting to watch. Many great one-liners were scat-tered throughout the fast-paced action. They lightened the mood of often serious situations.

Interestingly enough, the Tesseract, a cube that has been a staple of the storyline in previous movies, includ-ing “Thor,” “Captain America: The First Avenger” and “The Avengers,” was not really part of this movie’s storyline. Instead, “The Winter Soldier” veers off in another direction, one that includes Hydra, the organization that branched off from the Nazis in “Captain America: The First Avenger.”

Overall, this movie was one big mind-blown moment because of the interconnectiv-ity of events in this film and other Marvel movies. There was never a dull moment and the movie held the audience in intense wonder.

And don’t worry Marvel fans, the movie finished in true Marvel fashion with a short clip during the credits that set the stage for the next story.

There were performances by Aztec dancers, UNI Proud, LGBT, elementary students from a local church and a salsa couple dance. Rice, beans and other traditional Hispanic cuisine was served

“I liked all the performances,” said Erin Mendez, leisure, youth and human services graduate student. “I had never seen Aztec dancing before, so it taught me a lot about their culture.”

After the dinner, attendees could dress up in costumes and pose in a photo booth before the dance.

“We hope that our organiza-tion is able to allow others to be a part of our culture,” Alfaro said. “Everybody is welcome. We love having people who aren’t Hispanic come to our organiza-tion.”

Panthers shut out CyclonesSOFTBALL

OPINION

Surprising matchup should lead to exciting game

Like a majority of prognos-ticators, I had fully intended on writing a preview for a Florida and Kentucky NCAA Championship game. I had even begun making my case for a Kentucky upset, even though they have arguably the most complete team in college bas-ketball. Then the University of Connecticut happened.

Not only did UConn hold Florida’s strong offensive team to only 53 points, but they did it in a convincing fash-ion. After falling behind 16-4 early, UConn stormed back to gain a 25-22 advantage at the half. UConn then continued on toward its eventual 63-53 win, leaving no doubt as to who the better team was that night.

This major upset makes pre-dicting the final game harder, because as hot as UConn is right now, Kentucky might be even hotter.

Kentucky’s Aaron Harrison hit what seemed like his 100th game winner of the tourna-ment to put the cap on another wildly entertaining game in

which Wisconsin was dealt a heartbreaking 74-73 loss. It was reminiscent of the way he dispatched Michigan in the pre-vious game, and it could be a foreshadowing of things to come for UConn if the Wildcats have their way.

So the public is left with a matchup of two unlikely but somehow fitting teams to close out this wild college hoops season. The Huskies recently have put the clamps down on teams with their absolutely sti-fling defense while Kentucky has looked downright dominant offensively, which brings euphe-misms about unstoppable forces and immovable objects to mind.

The seeds may read seven and eight, but make no mistake this is certainly a heavyweight bout.

Kentucky is riddled with former McDonald’s All-Americans, but UConn, led by point guard Shabazz Napier, has plenty of talent to go around as well. Both teams dispatched a slew of title contenders on the way to the big game, and both are on momentum-fueled runs set on a collision course that is sure to make some noise.

Making predictions is a futile endeavor for the most part, and this one is so close that flipping a coin would probably be a com-parable tactic, but my gut feel-ing is telling me that Kentucky is destined to cut down the nets tonight.

Both of these runs have been magical in their own right, but I think Kentucky’s ridiculous surplus of talent and manic work on the boards will give them the slight edge they need to take a crowbar to that immovable object.

But whatever happens, I think fans will be rewarded with a highly competitive game that’ll go down to the final minutes, and that’s a predic-tion I’m far more comfortable making.

NICK ALVARADOSports Columnist

HENRY E. WALKER/MCT CampusKentucky’s Aaron Harrison (2) has made two game-winners in the NCAA Tournament to help the Wildcats reach the championship game.

It may have been chilly outside, but the bats were hot for the UNI softball team Wednesday afternoon at Robinson-Dresser field. It was the first time the Panthers could show what they can do outside at home as they took on their in-state rival the Iowa State University Cyclones.

Senior Jamie Fisher took to the pitcher’s circle and displayed good control throughout a two-hit, six-inning complete-game win for UNI, 9-0.

“It’s always great to beat Iowa State,” Fisher said. “It was just an all-around great day today; we hit well, we played great defense and it just gives us great confi-dence going forward.”

Fisher picked up her 11th win of the 2014 sea-son. Her record is now 11-6. Overall, the Panthers brought their record up to 18-9.

Throughout the game, Fisher faced 20 batters and struck out five while surrendering no walks

throughout the contest. The Panther defense made several key plays in the field to block the Cyclones’ offense.

“Nicole (Fisher) called

a great game (at catcher),” said Jamie Fisher. “The defense has been great and it always takes off a lot of the pressure off me when they make plays and pick

me up out there.” The Panthers also dis-

played their ability to hit the ball well. Three differ-ent hitters knocked a total of three balls out of the

park. Juniors Rikki Alcaraz

and Julia Hunter smacked one over the wall each. Sophomore Caitlin Wnek took ownership of the other home run during a big day at the plate, going two for three with a two-run homer in the third inning, followed by a scorching down-the-line double in the fifth inning. The home run and the double gave Wnek three RBIs on the day.

“I got a couple good swings in during (batting practice), so I was feeling good,” Wnek said. “We’re just trying to hit the ball hard, and if they go out they go out.”

After Sunday’s loss to the University of Evansville, the Panthers looked to get back on track with a state-ment win before heading back to conference play for the second half of the Missouri Valley Conference season.

UNI will travel to Lincoln, Nebraska, for a one-game series against the University of Nebraska before resuming MVC play against Wichita State.
