This article is part two of a series. Look for part three in the Friday, Nov. 18 issue of the Northern Iowan.

As the voices of stu-dent veterans at the University of

Northern Iowa grow louder, they and the Veteran Student Services Committee are working together to reexam-ine the way UNI serves its military student population.

Terry Hogan, vice presi-dent for student affairs, said he calls it “a strengthened or renewed effort” that began with attempts to gauge stu-dent veterans’ experiences at UNI.

According to Hogan, there are three ways UNI measures itself on how well it serves its military stu-

dents: student satisfaction, retention rates and gradua-tion rates.

Retention and gradua-tion rates can be discerned mathematically; to gauge student satisfaction, Hogan listed three specific assess-ments. They include a sur-vey for graduating seniors (which has a question about student satisfaction), a bian-nual campus climate survey and the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE).

Hogan acknowledges that these measures don’t fully capture student vet-erans’ experiences at UNI. For example, students who drop out would not get a chance to complete the graduating student survey. That, Hogan said, is where the UNI Student Veterans

call them and say, ‘Hey, what what do we need to do to get this fixed?’” said Bevan Lucas, KULT’s general manager. “They were very willing to work with us, and it was also something that they were made aware of.”

According to Lucas, Rock 108 was assigned to activate their EAS for sev-eral stations in the area as part of the test, as some smaller broadcasters may not have a news organiza-tion or may have just been set up. The test revealed a glitch in their system, as their EAS was not working properly and wasn’t trig-gered to end the test.

The glitch was one of many that occurred throughout the country during the test, which was performed by all broadcast-ers, including radio sta-tions and cable and satellite distributors. According to an article in the New York

Times, some DirecTV sub-scribers reportedly heard Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” during the time of the test, while Inside Radio reported that several stations were unable to return to their regular programming after the test.

While the test exposed issues with Rock 108’s sys-tem, KULT’s EAS went off fine, a “relief ” for Lucas.

“We just didn’t know if we had the capability of doing such a test, which, if it would have turned out that we wouldn’t have been able to, we would have been in serious violation of the (Federal Communications Commission) regulations,” Lucas said.

Despite this, the nation-wide test exposed an issue with KULT’s old dot matrix printer, which doesn’t cur-rently print EAS test logs properly — an issue that, if not fixed, could saddle the organization with $30,000 in fines.

“The FCC is already

investigating stations in this area, in this market even … What’s to say they wouldn’t stop in at a university low-power station?” Lucas said.

KULT will be seeking funding from the Northern Iowa Student Government to bring the system up to FCC regulations, which Lucas estimates could cost up to $2,000, a small price to pay compared to the potential $30,000 fine.

“We teach the stuff on a daily basis about comply-ing with FCC regulations and copyright regulations and all these other stipula-tions, and it’s so strict that in classes we’re taught that if you don’t have this con-sent form filled out, you’ll get an F or an incomplete, and yet we’re not doing that (complying with all regula-tions) here at KULT,” Lucas said. “That’s one of the big-gest concerns in my mind, is how can we teach this and allow this to go on?”

Lucas hopes the funding will help keep KULT, which is currently in its 56th year, on the air.

“Radio’s a very expensive business to do, and we seem to pull it off with very lim-ited funds,” he said.

I SPY AT UNI

CORRECTIONSThe story “Modern veterans face multiple issues at UNI” in the Nov. 11 issue of the Northern Iowan stated that the Veteran Student Services Committee is com-prised of University of Northern Iowa students, fac-ulty and staff. However, the committee also includes members of the Cedar Valley community. The Northern Iowan regrets this error.

Kuster, who traveled to Fort Worth, Tex., at the end of October for the con-ference, won the award as a result of her essay about entrepreneurship, letters of recommendation and financial statements from her business, TargetClick Marketing Solutions.

TargetClick Marketing Solutions works with local businesses to devel-op websites and optimize existing websites for bet-ter search engine rankings. Kuster’s business launched in 2010 as a collaborative effort between her and UNI alumnus Greg Jass. In June 2011, the two merged with TargetClick to form the business in its current state.

Amid the frantic pace of the business world, Kuster admits things haven’t always come easily.

“Some days it’s hard to go to class because I’d rather be with a client, and other days it’s hard to go to the office because I have homework and group proj-ects,” Kuster said.

Despite the challenges, Kuster said she has never thought of throwing in the

towel. “I’ve had my fair share

of doubts and concerns, but because my office is always my favorite place to be at the end of every busy day, I know I could never give it up,” Kuster said.

Laurie Watje, manager of the Student Business Incubator program, admires Kuster for the award and her tenacity.

“She’s very professional,” Watje said. “She’s juggling being a full-time student and full-time businessper-son and still maintaining a strong GPA … I’m very proud of Therese for bring-ing the award home to UNI.”

Kuster said UNI, and specifically the SBI, “has been instrumental in my entrepreneurial success.”

“I have had access to incredible resources, experi-ences and mentors thanks to UNI,” Kuster said.

After her graduation this spring, the Boone native plans to continue working with TargetClick full-time.

“Each of us has a career with TargetClick, and we’re fortunate to be able to sup-port ourselves with our business,” Kuster said.

Association comes in.“We really, in a lot of

ways, rely upon that group to be a channel of communica-tion … about how people are feeling, what the needs are, how’s it going, how we can help, and so on. The mea-sures are the more analytical view, but it doesn’t replace the human part,” he said.

SVA has been around for a few years, according to its fac-ulty adviser, Joe Gorton, but has struggled until recently to get traction.

“Some of the students have really started to assert their leadership in ways that are helping the organization to really gain some footing and become an active and important part of the com-munity here,” said Gorton, an associate professor of crimi-nology.

Gorton can think of two main goals for SVA: to pro-vide a source of support for student veterans, and to be an organization that “is a voice to the administration about the needs of those students.”

Tim Tolliver, one of the leaders of the group, empha-sized SVA’s efforts to serve as a source of peer support for its members.

“It’s something that we’re working on, to get maybe a more cohesive group and just to form a group where people can kind of lean on each other and support each other as needed,” said Tolliver, who is studying social work at UNI.

Gorton said that while not every student veteran strug-gles with the transition from service to the classroom, “it can be difficult.”

“I think being able to have an organization that is pri-marily about people who are dealing with that transition, it provides an emotional sup-port. It provides friendship networks. It provides a kind of resource for veterans to take advantage of to make it through (tough times),” he said.

Ron Devoll, another lead-er of SVA, said that support doesn’t have to be in response to negative elements of stu-dents’ lives.

“It’s not always issues. There’s positive things. Just being amongst your peers that you feel you fit in with, and just having that cama-raderie, being together, it’s a great feeling,” Devoll said.

About two dozen people attended SVA’s last meeting on Oct. 27. Devoll, a UNI student studying social work, would like to see more new faces in the future.

“Obviously this student group, we’re open to every-one, and we encourage not only veterans but nonveter-ans to come and participate. That’s the only way to close some of the gaps is to have

participation from all stu-dents,” Devoll said.

The gaps Devoll refers to are the differences in age, life experience and other person-al factors that typically sepa-rate traditional students from nontraditional students. He and Tolliver both pointed out specific experiences veterans may have had that other stu-dents have not, which they said can be isolating.

“One way to attack that issue is traditional students coming and participating and getting to know us,” Devoll said. “… This group is for everyone, and I’m open to a whole lot of dialogue and people coming together for the purpose of helping vet-erans.”

Besides bringing a variety of students together — be they veterans or nonveter-ans — SVA is also work-ing on goals and suggestions for the UNI administration to improve its veterans’ ser-vices.

“I think what we’re doing is we’re going to build a col-laboration with the university administration,” said Gorton, “and they are inviting that.”

Though SVA may come up with suggestions, assistant professor of political science Lindsay Cohn sees a financial challenge in bringing those ideas to life.

“In the current climate, we are very resource-squeezed right now. The idea of creat-ing new programs is going to be a rough sell,” Cohn said.

Darin Adams, the presi-dent of Hawkeye Community College’s student veterans’ group, thinks the university should still make addressing veterans’ issues a top priority, noting that only a small por-tion of the population choos-es to serve in the military.

“It’s not that hard to go

the extra mile for one half of 1 percent of the population, especially considering some of those people didn’t come back,” Adams said, “and most of those people that are part of that one half of 1 percent don’t even go to college.”

In short, Adams said, UNI should “go the extra mile for these guys because, well… they deserve it.”

Adams has spoken with various UNI student veter-ans about their experiences. He sees a disparity between the way the administration perceives the handling of veterans’ issues and the way students feel about the issue.

“There’s a disconnect here. And the disconnect probably is (that) the admin-istration perceives they’re doing all these great things, but they’re not — or at least in the eyes of the veterans, they’re not,” Adams said.

Devoll thinks a great deal of work remains to be done to address student veterans’ needs, but says the measures UNI has taken thus far are “a step in the right direction.”

“Anything the university does towards bringing our diverse community together and enabling students by pro-viding them resources and the tools necessary to be suc-cessful and graduate from here, and to maintain reten-tion, I feel that’s a step in the right direction,” he said.

It’s not that hard to go the extra mile for one half of 1 percent of the population, especially considering some of those people didn’t come back, and most of those people that are part of that one half of 1 percent don’t even go to college.

OpinionOpinion

In the past, students were able to sit back and have a drag in the classroom without a worry in their

minds – now, “no smoking” signs are placed outside many campus buildings, but that doesn’t mean cigarette butts aren’t frequently found stomped out right in front of them. A little over three years ago, smokers were able to light up in bars, restaurants and hotels, but now due to the Smoke Free Air Act, that is no longer a possibil-ity. Students are required to go off campus to get their a fix. As we all know, laws are con-stantly broken, especially among students. Students who are in a hurry to class park illegally and speed through the 25 mph areas around campus. Many take part in underage drinking every

weekend. Unfortunately, some University of Northern Iowa students put smoking right on the top of the list of laws that are “meant to be broken.” Students go to the extent of hiding behind bushes just to get their death-ly fix of an addictive drug. Despite the fact that they are college educat-ed, many stu-dents chose to blatantly ignore the warnings printed on the packages contain-ing one of the leading killers in

the United States, being com-pletely unfazed by the damages

cigarettes can do to their bod-ies and overall health. Those of us who don’t enjoy smoke being blown in our faces as we enjoy a nice stroll from class to class appreci-ate these laws, but it’s very upsetting when the entrances to campus are blocked by a cloud of smoke and a rainy day

means getting soggy cigarette butts stuck to the bottom of your

shoe. Laws are meant to be obeyed for good reasons, although it might not always seem like it. A student’s smoking habit not only affects their health, but the health of those around them as well. Whether a student’s dislike of smoking comes from an already prevalent health issue, such as asthma (which smoking can aggravate), or they just don’t enjoy filling their lungs with tox-ins, we need to respect our fellow peers. Smokers: The next time you want to duck behind a bench to take a puff, just take the time to walk across the street to do so. With all of the harm the smok-ing is doing in the first place, the little bit of exercise that walk provides may be good for you.”

OPINION I Tuesday, November 15, 2011 I northern-iowan.org PAGE 5

I was doing my usual Saturday morning social network surf when I noticed a trend among the posts being made. There

were a number of status updates proudly proclaiming how little that person cared about accidently missing both 11:11s on 11/11/11. Obviously 11:11 on Nov. 11, 2011 has no actual significance in the grand scheme of things, but it has social sig-nificance. As a society, we apparently find matching numbers so captivating that we can convince ourselves they possess magical qualities, thus creat-ing the need to share with everyone our thoughts and feelings about our own acknowledgement of the num-bers aligning. The fact of the matter is that Friday, Nov. 11, 2011 was a date unlike any other, just like every other day. Now let’s look at a date that is supposed to have actual significance: Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is no longer a day set aside for families to get together and give thanks. It instead has become the speed bump separating Halloween from Christmas.

The media per-petuates a sense of urgency, which is quite easy in a capitalist soci-ety. The day after Halloween, you already see Christmas-themed everything out in stores and commercials advertising the perfect Christmas gift for that special some-one. But in that flurry of advertise-ments, it is important to remember what the real meaning behind a day like Thanksgiving really is.I have found that the days that end up meaning the most to me are those in which I stumble upon something meaningful serendipitously, and even then, only in hindsight am I able to recognize the true significance of the event.Leading research tells us that every individual will die at the end of his or her life. Keeping that in mind, we should not ascribe more significance to any one day than it deserves. We all need things to look forward to – we’re human after all – but we should not let our anticipation of tomorrow out-weigh our appreciation of today.I suppose what I’m trying to say is rath-er than waiting around for a new year to begin a resolution or making wishes

twice a day at 11:11, be proactive, because nobody is going to live your life for you. It takes time to find a truly meaning-ful pursuit; luck-ily, we each have a lifetime to spend. But it’s funny that we use the phrase “time is money,” because seeing how eas-ily we waste time you’d think it’s free. Sometimes you have to remind yourself to take a step back and gain a new perspective. Thursday, Nov. 24, 2011 is a date unlike any other, so give thanks. As Steve Jobs said in his 2005 commencement address at Stanford University, “For the past 33 years, I

have looked

in the mir-ror every morning

and asked myself: ‘If today were the

l a s t day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

Wrestling with the words of a prophet In many of our churches on Nov. 6, we read from the prophet Amos and heard him tell the Israelites that God does not accept most of what they think is acceptable to God. God does not accept their festivals, their solemn assemblies, their grain and animal sacrifices; God does not accept the noise of their music! The Lord wants one thing: “let justice roll down like waters, and righteous-ness like an ever-flowing stream.” Amos 5:20-24. In our nation today we face many complex problems that touch the lives of many people. The Occupy move-ment spreading across our land and globally has given us the opportunity to witness discontent, frustration, anger and disillusionment spilling onto our streets and into our parks. While the verbiage used by the Occupiers may not sound like the words that we proclaim from pulpits, what is happening is very public wrestling with what Scripture tells us about what God expects of us in the way we care for one another as brothers and sisters. The Occupation asks us to reflect on what “giving to Caesar and to God” means today.

Are they asking what it means to “love our neighbor” in these days where so many are dealing with foreclo-sures, excessive debt, hunger and financial stress? Today, maybe it is the Occupation Movement that challenges us to wrestle with the words of Amos all over again. What does this mean for all of us today? Where the 99 percent are raising challenges, ques-tions, frustrations and con-cerns that are about God’s justice, we area clergy extend our support and thanks; they occupy in behalf of many who are struggling. We want to say thanks for raising voic-es that must be heard. We pray that in decisions that are made the words of the Prophet will be heard: “there is one thing acceptable to the Lord, that is that justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”

OPINION I Tuesday, November 15, 2011 I northern-iowan.org

In response to Nov. 11’s LAC article The purpose of the University Northern Iowa’s Liberal Arts Core classes are to create well-rounded indi-viduals who are prepared for the “real world.” It is essen-tial that the LAC fosters an understanding of how the world works. For instance, do you know

why so many people refuse to believe in global climate change? Why racism is still such a problem? Why rural and lower-class individu-als tend to vote conservative even though it is entirely counterintuitive of their own well-being? Why innocent individuals confess to crimes they did not commit? Why we fall in love? Social sciences

address these and many other similar issues. Social sciences can, and should, be applied to daily activities and interac-tions, whether it is a business transaction, scientific break-through, or publishing a new novel. For instance, take the example of global climate change. There is plenty of scientific data that suggest that climate change is really happening and that it is, at least, partially due to man-made technologies. The real problem: we can’t even get half of our country’s popula-tion to believe this is occur-ring in the first place, let alone that it is a man-made issue. How can we change this impending catastrophe if peo-ple refuse to believe it will eventually happen? People do not simply change deep-seated beliefs about a topic just because scientific fact is placed in front of them (look at how long it took for people to get the idea that smoking is bad for them!). Social sciences can greatly aid in understanding and cre-ating positive change in our world. It would be irrespon-sible to deny future students the fundamental knowledge of how our world works.

Phi Beta Sigma hosts Homeless Sleep-Out

AJ CASSIDYStaff Writer

With temperatures below 30 degrees, the sight of peo-ple seated on top of Maucker Union can be unusual. On a first glance, the natural questions to ask might be, who are those people and what are they doing out here? Bobby Elam, a gradu-ate mathematics student and member of Phi Beta Sigma, answered that question – raising awareness. Last Thursday night, Elam took residence above Maucker Union for the Homeless Sleep-Out, an event run by Phi Beta Sigma chapters around the country to alert students of the epi-demic that is homelessness. “It’s a great cause to sit out here and raise awareness for the homeless,” Elam said. “(On) a day like this, when it’s about 20 degrees, you get to actually experience what they’re going through – it’s extremely humbling.” In conjunction with the Sleep-Out, Elam collected food and clothing dona-tions for the Northeast Iowa Food Bank and the Black Hawk County Women’s Shelter. Elam is a veritable one-man army, currently the sole member of Phi Beta Sigma at the University of Northern Iowa, as other members have graduated. Elam said he strives to do good in the community, and effect change positively how-ever he can. Members of the Northern Iowa Student Government, includ-

ing Spencer Walrath and Rhonda Greenway, stopped by with donations, filling the basket Elam brought with food. He smiled and stuffed his hands deeper into his pockets, preparing to face the cold until the wee hours of the morning.

Aside from the occasional far-off shouts of students on College Hill, the campus was quiet – almost barren. The absence of attendees could be daunting to some, but Elam kept a smile on his face, talking about the concept of the sleep-out and ideas for other community events. “I would like to see this be an annual event,” Elam said. When asked about the desire for more members in the chapter, he responded, “You know, even if people don’t want to join the fra-ternity, they can still help out with the events we’ve got coming up… But if it’s just me, I’ll still do the best I can. Hopefully I’ll have other people to do it with me.”

While winter means snow angels, hot chocolate and Ugg boots, it also means frostbite, slippery roads and an increase in house fires. Here are some precaution-ary steps that everyone can take this coming season. Walking to class in the winter may not be the most enjoyable experience for

students, and often times it can be difficult to make the pros outweigh the cons when deciding if the walk is worth it. Dressing warmly is important. Hats, scarves, mittens and a water-resis-tant coat and boots should be worn. Staying dry is equally as important, especially when it comes to one’s shoes and socks. Taking these precau-tions will prevent those not-

so-fun things like frostbite and hypothermia. Cold weather puts extra strain on the heart, and the body is already working hard to stay warm, so don’t over-exert the body. Remember to work slowly when shovel-ing or doing other outdoor chores. Ice is also very danger-ous, with slips and falls caus-ing both injury and embar-rassment. Be aware of the

sidewalk conditions, and if unable to avoid them, try to walk at a slower pace… or invest in a pair of ice skates. Safe winter travel is also crucial. Before heading out on the road, be sure to check the driving conditions. Also, remove all snow from the vehicle, including the head-lights and taillights. Accelerate slowly and brake gently when driving. Never use cruise control and

make sure there is always a window scraper and shovel in the vehicle. Students who live off-campus will need to take some extra steps to ensure a safe home throughout the winter season. More house fires are started by heating equipment throughout win-ter than anything else. Make sure portable space

Students rave the night away during Dance Party: 7 Up Get Down at St. Stephen the Witness Catholic Student Center.


EVERYBODY DANCE NOWDance Party 7 packs St. Stephen’s Hundreds of students sat, neon shirts glowing under blacklights, as they watched a montage of inspirational speeches with one common message: sometimes, you just gotta dance. “I’m sick and tired of hear-ing about all the tests and all the projects your professors are givin’ out – screw ‘em!” Logan Mundt said in the video, parodying a speech from the movie “Miracle.” “This is your time. Now go out and dance.” The inspirational speech parodies kicked off Dance Party: 7 Up Get Down, the latest in a series of once-a-semester dance parties, which was held Friday in St. Stephen the Witness Catholic Student Center. The Dance Party began in fall 2008 in a Campus Courts apartment, with roughly 50 people attending. It has since changed venues twice to accommodate growing crowds – so big last year they near-ly threatened to collapse the floor of the Lutheran Student Center – that neared 800 danc-ers on Friday. While the scale has changed, the message remains the same. “The Dance Party is a place where people can come, be themselves, swallow any pride or self-consciousness they may hold and just dance the night away and have good, clean fun,” said Ian Goldsmith, a senior psychology and theatre double m a j o r a n d

member of the Dance Party Commission. “It’s a substance-free atmosphere; it’s basically proving that you can have the best night ever without having to be like a stereotypical college student: going out, partying – that kind of thing.” The introductory video sought to capture this atmo-sphere and motivate attendees to get on their feet. “Now if you wanna go out and dance; start dancing! But you gotta be willing to let it all go – don’t be pointing fin-gers saying you don’t want to dance because he’s looking at you, or because she’s looking at you, or you’re too embar-rassed to dance. Because that’s what cowards do, and that ain’t you!” said Chris Bowden, a sophomore communication major and commission mem-ber, as he parodied a speech from “Rocky Balboa” in the video. Each Dance Party is planned and hosted by a com-mission of roughly seven people. This year’s com-mission consists of Mundt, Goldsmith, Bowden, Michael McAndrew, Tom Madsen, Michael Rosenberg and Jason Thompson, who was a mem-ber of the original commis-sion. “We’re all fairly faithful gentlemen, and so we kind of take it as a – the gifts that God has granted us, we’re kinda paying it forward to everyone else and (trying to) not make it about us but make it about just providing one night of good, c l e a n , a w e s o m e

fun for as many people as we can,” Goldsmith said. Friday’s party was the first Dance Party since the major-ity of the original commission graduated last spring. “The past dance party com-mission … has been noth-ing but supportive this entire time,” Goldsmith said. “They not only gave their blessings toward us, but they let us make it our own; they helped us in any way they could, but they never once tried to interfere with our own creative process or anything like that. “They were the ones that started the mindset that it’s not about us, it’s about the people and the Dance Party itself,” he continued. The DP series will contin-ue in April 2012 with Dance Party: Invigor8. “Invigorate basically means to energize or to give life to – basically, to get pumped,” Goldsmith said of the name. “We’re expecting something similar (to DP7) but even big-ger and better.” Goldsmith feels the new commission’s first Dance Party continued the tradition set by its predecessors. “We did a fairly good job of continuing it on, continuing the growth and success of it,” he said. “I know a lot of people have been saying it’s the best one yet… I would say we’ve continued the success, which is what we set out to do.”

UNI Disability Center gives students personalized attentionMANDY VRIEZE

Guest Writer

When walking into the Student Disability Services office on the campus of the University of Northern Iowa, there appears to be no one who looks like they have a physical or mental disabil-ity, but rather just average-looking UNI students sitting patiently in the waiting room. Within minutes, Ashley Brickley, head coordinator of the Student Disability Services office, strolled her-self in her wheelchair to her office. Brickley started work-ing as disability specialist in

2007, then moved up to the coordinator position in 2009. “I look at my job not as a challenge, but as an opportu-nity,” said Brickley. More students with severe disabilities are coming to UNI, and there are more needs for those students. Brickley has seen growth in the last few years in the amount of students with mental and physical disabilities such as Asperger’s, seizures and psy-chological disorders. Brinkley’s main daily duties are reviewing docu-mentation and determin-ing eligibility for disabil-ity accommodations, meeting with students to get accom-

modation forms filled out and signed by professors and tak-ing action on any follow-up activities or questions from faculty, students and parents. When she’s away from her office, Brickley likes to speak about students with disabili-ties and help run the Student with Disabilities organization on campus. When asked what makes the University of Northern Iowa Disability Center dif-ferent from other university schools in the state, Brickley said, “The services with UNI Disability Program are more hands-on, meaning we inter-act with more of our students and are more personalized.”

For example, UNI SDS may contact a student’s pro-fessor and provide the stu-dent with someone to read their tests to them in a sepa-rate and quieter location than the rest of the class, whereas the University of Iowa and Iowa State University may give the student a computer instead of a human reader, making the process less per-sonalized. The University of Northern Iowa also provides weekly mentoring programs. Brickley feels that because it’s a teaching school, the univer-sity really focuses on not only giving students the best edu-cation, but also understand-

ing the diversity of learning. Whether it’s mobility and physical impairments, hear-ing, vision, cognitive and learning disabilities, or psy-chological disorders, UNI Student Disability Services is determined to stay true to their goal of helping students gain access to a better educa-tion. “The best part of my job is hearing success stories from students I work with,” said Brickley. “Whether it’s hear-ing them make the Dean’s List, going to grad school or graduating from college, knowing I had a part in help-ing them succeed makes my job worthwhile.”

Panthers come back to defeat Southern Utah, 34-21

FOOTBALL

MEN’S BASKETBALL


UNI junior running back Carlos Anderson (1) compiled 115 yards on 11 carries. Anderson is back at full health after battling a nagging ankle injury throughout the season.

The No. 5-ranked University of Northern Iowa football team improved to 8-2 overall on Saturday with a 34-21 come-from-behind victory over non-conference opponent Southern Utah University. The Panthers used 27 unanswered points to claw their way back from a 21-7 deficit midway through the second quarter. UNI racked up a season-high 284 yards rushing and 410 yards of total offense. SUU (5-5) compiled 287 pass-ing yards and 352 yards of total offense; however, the Thunderbirds were just two-for-four in red zone scoring opportunities. The return of junior running back Carlos Anderson to the starting lineup seemed to spark the Panthers’ rushing attack, which was held to a season-low 30 yards last weekend against Youngstown State University. Anderson car-ried the ball 11 times for 115 yards. “I really think the whole thing that sparked us was Carlos (Anderson),” said Farley. “I really thought that having Carlos back made all the difference in the world. He gave us that spark we needed and then Tirrell (Rennie) was back after last week and he looked like himself.” UNI senior quarterback Tirrell Rennie returned to the starting lineup as well after missing last weekend’s game due to injury. Rennie was 10-for-16, throwing for 126 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. Rennie also compiled 86 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 16 carries. “Give credit to Tirrell Rennie and the whole Northern Iowa offense; they did a

great job,” said SUU head coach Ed Lamb. “(UNI) did a tremendous job and they really put pressure on our defense all day.” Redshirt freshman running back David Johnson chipped in with 82 yards on 14 car-ries and senior linebacker L.J. Fort even got in on the action, with two goal line carries for two yards and two touchdowns. “L.J. (Fort) was an all-state running back down in Missouri. This provided us with something different, new and fun,” said Farley. SUU scored on its opening possession,

putting together a 14-play, 60-yard touchdown drive to take a 7-0 lead with 9:20 remaining in the first quar-ter. However, UNI respond-ed with a touchdown drive of their own, capped by a one-yard touchdown run by Fort at the 6:43 mark of the first quarter. The Thunderbirds responded with touchdowns on their next two posses-sions to make the score 21-7 in favor of SUU with 12:57 remaining in the first half. However, the Thunderbirds did not score again as UNI scored 27 unanswered points.

“The defense stepped up in the second half and I thought we looked totally differ-ent on defense in the second half than we did in the first,” said Farley. “We just needed to get our guys into the locker room and get them in the mind set that we needed to come back out with.” UNI’s run started with a four-yard touchdown run by Rennie to make the score 21-14 midway through the second quarter. Sophomore kicker Tyler Sievertsen added a field goal to make the halftime score 21-17

UNI volleyball takes third straight MVC regular season title

DIANA HALL/Northern Iowan

Michelle Burow recorded five blocks and 23 kills against Creighton and Drake over the weekend.

The No. 12-ranked University of Northern Iowa volleyball team faced off against the Creighton University Bluejays on Friday and in-state rival Drake University on Saturday. UNI (28-1, 16-0 MVC) defeated the Bluejays at home 3-1 with scores of 25-23, 20-25, 25-20 and 25-14. The Panthers then hosted Drake

for senior night, and with a 3-0 sweep, UNI clinched the Missouri Valley Conference regular season title for the third straight season. UNI won with scores of 25-9, 25-20 and 25-12. UNI’s first match against Creighton (16-12, 11-5 MVC) was led by Shelby Kintzel, who recorded a team-high 16 kills. Michele Burow pitched in with 14 kills of her own. Bre Payton

The University of Northern Iowa men’s bas-ketball team opened the 2011-2012 season with a blowout road victory over Old Dominion University, 63-46. The Panthers shot 49 percent from the floor for the game and 39.1 percent from three-point range.

The Panthers (1-0) were led by junior forward Jake Koch, who scored a game-high 18 points on six-of-eight shooting from the floor, including three-for-five on three-pointers. Koch also recorded four assists, two rebounds, two steals and a block in 34 minutes of action.

contributed 47 assists and 16 digs for the Panthers defense. The first set was close until the very end as the two teams found themselves locked at 16-16. The teams continued to battle back and forth and were once again tied late in the set at 23-23. UNI took it from that point with a kill from Amy Braun to take the lead and then Kintzel put away the set with a kill to make the final score 25-23. The teams were tied at 9-9 early on in the second set until Creighton went on a 9-3 run to take the lead 18-12. The Panthers battled back, but it wasn’t enough and the Bluejays took the second set 25-20 over UNI. After the break, UNI came out and took an early lead of 16-6 in the third set. The Panthers never looked back from there as a kill from Kintzel ended the set, making the final score 25-20. UNI found themselves up

early in the fourth set 9-6, and eventually built a 22-12 lead over the Bluejays. UNI took the set on a Creighton service error 25-14, and the match 3-1. The Panthers host-ed in-state rival Drake on Saturday in its second match of the weekend. It was senior night for UNI as both of the seniors, Payton and Burow, were recognized for their contributions to the team and university. “It’s been a great experi-ence. It’s a little bittersweet, but it’s an experience I’m going to carry with me for the rest of my life,” said Payton. Burow, Kintzel and Krista DeGeest each contributed nine kills for the Panthers, and Payton dished out 35 assists. Candice Burke led the defense with 16 digs in the match. All of the momen-tum seemed to be on the Panthers’ side in the first set as they jumped out to a 7-1 lead. After a 13-3 run, UNI held a 20-4 advantage. The Panthers took the set 25-9

after a kill from DeGeest. The second set started similar to the first with the Panthers eventually taking the lead 19-8. However, the Bulldogs clawed their way back into the set, eventu-ally making the score 24-20 in favor of UNI. An attack error by Drake gave the Panthers the second set 25-20. After the break, UNI found themselves up 18-6 in the third set, and they did not look back from that point. A service ace from Molly Turk ended the set 25-12 and gave the Panthers a 3-0 sweep over Drake. As the Panthers’ magical season draws to a close, they have the MVC and NCAA Tournament ahead, where they will be facing some tough competition. “As long as we play our game and do what we need to do, we can beat a lot of teams,” said Payton. UNI concludes MVC play next weekend when they travel to face the University of Evansville and Southern Illinois University.

With victories over Creighton and Drake, the Panthers improved to 28-1 (16-0 MVC) and clinched their third straight MVC regular season title.

Junior guard Anthony James chipped in with 13 points and five assists. Junior guard Marc Sonnen and sophomore forward Chip Rank came off the UNI bench to contribute 12 points and eight points, respectively. Freshman point guard Deon Mitchell scored just four points, but secured a team-high six rebounds in his first collegiate start for the Panthers. The UNI defense held the Monarchs (0-1) to just four second-half field goals and a miserable 27.3 per-cent shooting for the game. The Panthers didn’t allow

ODU to score a basket from the 10:46 mark to the 2:34 mark of the second half, which helped UNI stretch its eight-point halftime lead to as much as 20 points near the end of regulation. The Panthers will travel to Morgana, Calif., to take on the Gaels of St. Mary’s College on Tuesday morn-ing at 1 a.m. for ESPN’s annual College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon. The Gaels are expected to compete with Gonzaga University and Brigham Young University for the West Coast Conference champion-ship this season. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN.

Veterans Day victory for Black Hawks

BLACK HAWKS HOCKEY

The Waterloo Black Hawks used two goals from Taylor Cammarata on Veterans Day to power past the Chicago Steel. Joe Rehkamp and Trevor Owens also scored for Waterloo, while Theo DiPauli and Daniel Kucerovy scored for Chicago in Waterloo’s 4-2 victory. Cammarata’s first goal came at the 11:49 mark of the first period with assis-tance from Mitch Witek and Mark Naclerio. DiPauli’s goal for the Steel came at the 14:37 mark of the frame and was assisted by Phillip Marinaccio. In the second, Rehkamp scored from Eddie

Wittchow and Witek at 9:12, and Owens’ goal came at 13:50 with assistance from Justin Kloos. Kucerovy’s goal came at the 17:59 mark, and Marinaccio assisted on his as well. Cammarata’s second goal came unassisted at the 3:51 mark of the third period. The Black Hawks wore special jerseys for the night in honor of America’s vet-erans, and the jerseys were auctioned off to fans after the game. The proceeds from the auction are going toward next year’s Honor Flight from Waterloo. Waterloo returns home next Friday and Saturday as Dubuque and Indiana invade Young Arena.

Fort added his second rushing touchdown of the game with 13 seconds remaining in the third quar-ter, making the score 31-21 UNI. Sievertsen added another field goal to make the final score 34-21. Junior safety Garrett Scott led the Panther defense with 13 tackles and one interception. Senior defen-sive lineman Ben Boothby and Darren Branch each recorded two sacks. UNI was able to send 19 seniors off on a posi-tive note, with a victory in their final home game of the regular season. On top of that, a UNI victory com-bined with a North Dakota State University 27-24 loss to YSU has the Panthers back in a position to clinch a share of the Missouri Valley Football Conference title with a victory next weekend. UNI will wrap up the regular season Saturday when they travel to Normal, Ill., to face the Illinois State University Redbirds.

Junior forward Amber Kirschbaum scored eight points and grabbed six rebounds against Colorado State.

Trailing by four points midway through the sec-ond half, the University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team used a 24-4 run to build a lead it never relinquished in a 61-50 win over Colorado State Friday night in the McLeod Center.

Morgan scored on a lay-up, and Brittni Donaldson made a free throw to tie the game for the fourth time, 16-16 with 8:10 left in the half. Colorado State scored on back-to-back possessions to build a 20-16 lead.

Sam Martin and Madrigal traded baskets to keep the difference at one, 24-23, but CSU scored the next five points to take a 29-23 lead with 43 seconds left in the half. Oney made a pair of free throws with 8.4 seconds on the clock to send UNI into the break trailing 29-25. Trailing 32-28, Madrigal hit a three from the top of the key to pull UNI within

a point, 32-31. After a free throw brought the CSU lead to 33-31, Morgan made a three from the left baseline to put the Panthers in front, 34-33 with 13:37 to play. Kelly Hartig made a free throw to tie the game at 34-34, but Jess McDowell answered with a free throw to return the lead to the Panthers, 35-34 with 12:33 remaining. Meghan Heimstra scored to put CSU back in the lead, but it was short-lived, as Brittni Donaldson drove for a lay-up to tip the score back in the Panthers’ favor, 37-36 with 11:43 left. Colorado State scored five straight points to build a 41-37 lead with 10:27 left. Kirschbaum hit a jumper to end a four-minute scoring drought for the Panthers, and she scored on a jumper in the lane to tie the game, 41-41 with 7:08 left. Oney hit a three 30 sec-onds later to cap a 7-0 run by the Panthers that put UNI in front, 44-41. CSU scored on a jumper, but Kirschbaum answered with a turnaround jumper on the baseline and Madrigal hit a free throw to give UNI a 47-43 lead with less than six minutes to play. K.K. Armstrong and Oney each converted a pair of free throws to stretch UNI’s lead to 51-43. Morgan hit her fourth three of the game and followed with a pair of free throws to extend the Panther lead to 56-43 with 2:45 left. Colorado State got a jumper from Kim Mestdagh, but Morgan answered with a pair of free throws, and Oney knocked down a three on a fast break to bring the score to 61-45 with 1:33 on the clock. CSU scored the game’s final five points to bring the final score to 61-50. The Panthers return to action on Monday when they play at Chicago State.
