Julia Heuer recently became the first military and veteran student services coor-dinator at the University of Northern Iowa. The position was created to enhance the university’s ability to serve the military student body. Originally from Sacramento, Calif., Heuer joined the United States Army after graduating high school. She served as a military intel-ligence analyst in Bosnia and South Korea. Heuer was promoted to the rank of Sergeant before retir-ing and beginning her under-graduate education at a com-munity college. From there, she became interested in the social sciences and received her bachelor’s degree in social work from California State University, Los Angeles. Heuer’s interest in social work led her to the University of Iowa, where she received a master’s degree in social work. During her coursework, she volunteered her time by serving military veterans. She also had an internship with the National Association of Social Workers. Heuer spent time doing military advocacy and helping to draft a veter-ans’ policy statement, which highlights veterans’ issues for legislators to focus on. At UNI, Heuer’s job is to identify both the positive areas and the trouble areas for students in the military

After a combined two hours of debate and delibera-tion, senators in the Northern Iowa Student Government voted on Jan. 23 to not pass a bill eliminating the second reading of funding bills under $1,000, on a vote of 3 to 12. UNI student organizations may request funds outside of the normal spring budgetary process by requesting money from the NISG contingen-cy fund, the money in which comes from the Student Services Fee.

After filing an application, the student organization must go through the Organization and Finance Committee, as well as pass a funding request bill through two readings in senate before the funding is approved and available for the organization. However, on Jan. 16, sen-ate first read a bill sponsored by the Governmental and Legislative Affairs committee, proposing the elimination of the second reading of funding bills under $1,000 in senate. Reasons for passing the bill included using senate’s time more efficiently, the assertion

that funding bills don’t gener-ate much discussion and the fact that bills could still be placed on the controversial docket (which would require more readings) if deemed necessary. After the bill passed its first reading, senate convened again on Jan. 23 and debated the benefits and implications that passing the bill would have for students. Speaker of the Senate Jared Parker opposed the bill, saying that he prefers having a second reading for issues

Avijit Ghosh, a candidate for president of the University of Northern Iowa, will visit campus Jan. 30 and 31. A public forum is set for Wednesday, Jan. 30 at 2 p.m. in the Commons ballroom. During the forum, students, staff and community members can learn more about Ghosh, the sec-ond candidate UNI has announced in this phase of the presidential search. Ghosh is the senior adviser to

the president of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. He has more than 30 years of expe-rience as an educator and senior university administrator. Ghosh served in a variety of roles at the University of Illinois, including Vice President for Technology and Economic Development, as well as the dean of the College of Business. He received a B.S. in chemistry at Calcutta University, studied in a postgraduate program in man-agement at the Xavier Institute in India and earned an M.A. and

Ph.D. at the University of Iowa. On the day of each presidential candidate’s public forum, a univer-sity-wide email containing a link to a confidential electronic input form will be available. Participants can answer survey questions on the form about the visiting candidate and fill out an open comment section. Community members and UNI faculty without UNI email address-es may also fill out the form by requesting one from csbr@uni.edu. All forms are due no later than 5 p.m. on Feb. 5.

on campus, with a goal of assisting military graduates find a path to employment. Heuer said she wants to enhance on-and off-campus resources and connections that veterans are able to access. “The main thing we want to do is help them gradu-ate,” Heuer said. “Right now, there’s not a lot of informa-tion on the success of vet-erans in school, and there’s conflicting reports about how many of them are actually graduating.” Heuer said helping student veterans with their academic struggles means targeting the areas that those students may be struggling with and pro-viding the appropriate assis-tance. “It’s just getting to the root of if it’s financial, if it’s family, and how can we better assist (veterans) and what ser-vices can we provide,” Heuer said, “and that includes family too; they’ve been along for the

whole military ride as well.” Heuer also feels strongly about the need to educate fac-ulty and students about post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. In addition, Heuer said she believes nonmilitary students and faculty need to develop a stronger understanding of military culture and the way that culture impacts the lives of military personnel and families. Military students add value to the classes they attend, Heuer said. “There’s a real richness in having a military or veteran member in class,” Heuer said. “I think sometimes people overlook that by just hearing that they’re a veteran or in the military and want to know, immediately, ‘Well, have you been to battle?’” Heuer also noted that dis-cussing military service expe-riences must be handled with sensitivity. Heuer asks that students and faculty alike withhold preconceived notions of sol-diers. The most damaging

notion is that soldiers are “trained killers” with “anger problems.” She also feels that military students can be held back because they are treated as “people who follow orders.” However, she noted that most students hold a posi-tive view on soldiers, saying they are largely “respectful and thankful” and “recognize (veterans’) experience.” In the next several years, Heuer envisions growth in her department. “I would like it to be a center where military and veterans can come and hang out and get some camaraderie and meet people who have had similar experiences with them,” Heuer said. She is also eager to learn more about what can be done to serve the unique needs of military students at UNI. “One of the great things about this job is that it’s so new. (The job is) kind of going to see where the need areas are, based on the col-lege,” Heuer said.

related to funding. “(Second readings) allows us to mull it over and let us be good stewards of stu-dents’ money,” Parker said during the debate. During the meeting, Parker also cited a rule already in place that allows senate to push a bill to a second reading if it receives support from two-thirds of the senators. He suggested that if a bill seems worthy of being pushed to second reading, senate may do so voluntarily. Senator Jordan Leckband of the College of Humanities, Arts and Sciences (CHAS) agreed with Parker and did not support the bill after speaking with his constitu-ents. “(My constituents) all agree that while (in) senate (it) is important to be quick about a lot of funding ... most of them agree that it’s important for us to think carefully what we’re fund-ing,” Leckband said. Other senators were orig-inally in favor of the bill, however. Senator Stef McGraw of CHAS believed the bill would create more efficiency for the current senate. “The two readings in the senate really don’t seem nec-essary. People think reading it once is careless, but it’s

really not reading it once,” McGraw said. “It goes through the Organization and Finance committee and they know the guidelines, so really it’s just supposed to be a double check and I think it’s unnecessary to have to do it twice, when 99 percent of the time it gets passed.” Senator Thomas Madsen of the College of Business (COB) was also originally in favor of the bill, stating that he wants to use students time effectively. “When we go to our con-stituents … I want to sit down with the limited time that they have and talk about issues that are prevalent to them and issues that really matter to them, instead of having to go around and talk about stuff they might not care about,” Madsen said. However, after Senator Tyler Moran of COE and chair of the Organization and Finance committee explained why he changed his mind from being more in favor, to out of favor of the bill, other senators also agreed with his viewpoint. Since the bill would become a bylaw, meaning it would stay in place until a future senate decided to change it, Moran said that the bill would work for the current senate, but it may not work for senate in these upcoming years, due to changes in how much money the contingency fund

will have in the future, and potential guideline changes in regard to funding. “We need to evaluate where NISG is with the funds. It’s hard to say where we will be next semester ... it’s hard to make decisions this far in advance,” Moran said. During the debate, Moran

referenced the current “win-ner-takes-all” system of the contingency fund. For student organiza-tions that are requesting money, whether they receive the funding is based on the NISG funding guidelines, rather than a subjective deci-sion from the Organization of Finance and the senate. Because of this, the stu-dent organizations that request money first are more likely to receive more of it, and student organizations requesting money in the spring may be out of luck.

This current guideline may change, due to changes in the amount of money in the contingency fund in the future, according to Moran, and is the reason he is not in favor of the bill. Excluding $40,000 that senate is not allowed to take money from, Moran said the contingency fund is current-ly resting at $33,000 left for the semester. This number is lower than in the past, due to past senate being less strict on funding for student organiza-tions, the current expenses of the Collegiate Readership Program, assistance in pay-ing Pam Creger’s salary from the Student Involvement Center and deferred speakers that student organizations previously requested. During the meeting, Moran said he does not see the contingency fund for next year not being much higher than $60,000 for the next school year. “The final (point) that kind of changed me on this, is that the rules might change. This bill might be really great now, but will it be great for NISG in the future?” Madsen said. Even if the bill has passed through senate, Parker said during the meeting that he would motion to move every funding bill to the controver-sial docket, requiring more readings out of default. Parker said, “It’s some-thing that I deem all funding

bills controversial, and every senator does have that right,” in reference to moving bills to the controversial docket. Michael Dippold, presi-dent of the UNI Freethinkers and Inquirers said, “From my vantage point, as a stu-dent leader, I generally treat the second reading as a for-mality — the Organization and Finance hearing and first reading being the steps that actually matter,” Dippold said. Overall, senators said they may vote in favor of the bill if it is brought back in the future.“Maybe we should save this discussion for next year when we don’t think there’s going to be a senator who’s going to (motion the bill) every single time and basically nul-lify the bill,” McGraw said. She also said it may be more beneficial to wait on discussion for the bill and see if funding guidelines change and determine what to do then. Madsen mentioned that in the future, if the funding guidelines don’t change, “(he) would support this bill again if it came up.” After a revote, Senators Alyssa Turcsak of the College of Education, David Pope of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Jordan Wilmes of CHAS were all still in favor of the bill.

As an activist who proudly displays a “hemp for a green plan-et” bumper sticker on her Dodge Caravan, I have personally wit-nessed the uncertainty that sur-rounds the misunderstood plant. Numerous times I have received scornful looks from middle-aged ladies in the grocery store park-ing lot or been flashed the peace sign by teenage drivers who think I’m as loose in the ways of narcot-ics as they. It is clear to me that in both of these circumstances people make grandiose assumptions about what hemp is and what kind of person I must be for supporting it. It’s important, first, to dis-cuss the most notable differences between the two strains of the cannabis sativa plant, marijuana and hemp. While both species are derived from the same genus of plant, they are different varieties entirely. The most significant difference between the two strains is the level of THC contained within the buds of the plant. THC is short for tetrahydrocannabino. It acts as the psychoactive compo-nent of the plant, giving users a “high” when ingested. According to votehemp.com, marijuana con-tains 5-25 percent THC while hemp (by law) contains less than 0.3 percent THC. Within this one powerful plant there are thousands of uses. By breaking hemp down into its dif-ferent counterparts, both the seed and stalk can be used to create dif-ferent products, including paper, textiles, building materials, oil, biofuels, body care products, food products and many others. All parts of the plant can be utilized, leaving nothing to waste. In his book “Hemp,” Mark Bourrie states that paper made from hemp can be processed with-out harmful chemicals like chlo-rine – a chemical required for the processing of wood pulp. And because of how quickly hemp grows, more hemp fiber is gener-ated per year/per acre than for-ests. I have heard that on any given plot of land, hemp produces

four times as much fiber for paper production as the same plot of trees would. When you think about it, it comes down to simple science, really. It takes anywhere from 10 to 100 years for a tree to fully mature meaning that the aver-age tree, let’s say, takes 55 years to reach maturity. Depending on the climate, a hemp field can be harvested more than one time per year yielding a much higher pulp quantity over a shorter period of time. Perhaps you think deforestation isn’t such a big deal. According to the World Wildlife Fund, paper production accounts for 40 per-cent of the world’s commercially grown forests. Deforestation not only reduces biodiversity, but it increases the release of green-house gases into our atmosphere. While deforestation may not seem a prominent issue in the United States, we must get our paper pulp from somewhere. Canada supplies most of it, with more than a third of their forests designated for logging, mining and other development. Acres are falling fast as our paper demands outweigh the production sustainability of for-ests. Trees simply can’t grow fast enough to meet consumer need. Hemp, once legally produced and proudly supported during World War II, was officially made illegal during the seventies. We can thank our hippie predecessors for the insurgence of laws regard-ing hemp. A great fear emerged around the use of marijuana. Hippies were “known” for smoking mari-juana and conspiring, wasting away their lives by doing drugs and thinking up ways to over-throw the government. Marijuana and its effects were seen as dan-gerous. Paranoia arose regarding

what hippies were capable of and it became easier to place blame on the drugs. Unfortunately for hemp, it was classified in the same category as marijuana – a Schedule I narcotic (drugs with a high potential for abuse with no accepted medical use). While legislation has passed in 19 states allowing the research and study of hemp, Iowa is not among them. Bills have been referred to the Agricultural Committee on several different occasions but all have died in committee (a nice way of saying nobody cared enough to fight for it). The Industrial Hemp Farming Act has been introduced to the Senate and cosponsored by more than 30 representatives. However, the names of Iowa representatives are still noticeably absent from this list of cosponsors. Without proper support and sponsorship, this bill will die like the other hemp farming bills before it. Hemp is perhaps the most mis-understood plant of our genera-tion. Hemp harnesses the possibil-ities to eliminate deforestation and dependence on fossil fuels, and replace cotton as the world’s most prominent natural fiber. It is more important now than ever that we become active in the campaign for hemp. The word hemp is met with ignorance and misdirection as those who know nothing about it fear the worst and seem moder-ately unwilling to learn the truth about the plant. As the misin-formed masses grow, the benefits of the plant are suppressed – cov-ered by the ignorance of those unwilling to dig a little deeper into the plant’s history and learn something new. If you would like to learn more about hemp and how to become an activist for the legalization and industrial production of the plant, read “Hemp” by Mark Bourrie and visit www.votehemp.com.

There is a common way we minority advo-cates seek to further the rights and cause of our community: stressing sameness. We tell and retell narratives of “we’re just like you” to anyone who will listen. We emphasize and re-emphasize our similarities and how we are all just so alike! Difference becomes something we deny and conceal. Those who can “pass” assimilate and those who cannot are left to their fate: to either be different in exile or fight even harder to conform. The truth remains, however: We are not all the same. Many social justice activists have it all wrong. They treat privilege and the main-stream sameness as a ladder to climb, an exclusive club they want to be able to join rather than an oppressive hierarchy they want to challenge. They focus on how their group – lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-gender folks; people of color; women – are actually the same as the privileged class, and whitewash difference away in order to beg for inclusion in the melting pot of indiscriminate gray soup.

Some power changes hands, but nothing is challenged. Some power changes hands, but the nature of power doesn’t change at all. Whoever is currently deemed “the same” still exercises power over whoever is currently different. Think back to the Irish in the United States during the 1800s, when they were the different, frightening “other” that Americans of German and English descent feared and discriminated against. Believe it or not, the hatred of the Irish in America was once nearly as vicious as the hatred of African-Americans (www.pitt.edu/~hirtle/uujec/white.html). Over time, with the Irish fighting to be recognized as part of the sameness and with the construction of whiteness vs. color, they became considered part of the same, main-stream whiteness. The Irish advanced as a result of same-ness, but didn’t challenge racial hierarchy. People were still privileged or discriminated against based on race. The Irish climbed the latter, when they should have been kicking it down. Focusing on sameness will never truly improve the world, because it reinforces the conceptions that

a) To be the same, con-form, and assimilate is good; and b) That we can only value and accept others for their sameness and in spite of their difference. The same dangers of climbing the ladder are pres-ent today and have been caus-ing tension for a long time in various communities. The battle lines are clear-ly drawn in my own LGBT community between those who wish to assimilate, to be “normal,” to erase their difference and climb the lad-der; and people like me, who wish to embrace our differ-ence, express and emphasize it, and use it to challenge the mainstream. The queer “sameness” crowd resent me and others like me who are “flamboyant” or who challenge the main-stream in other ways because our gender subversion and challenge of social norms disturbs their senses of sameness and their attempt to be absorbed in the dull grey melting pot. They are fighting to climb the ladder; I am fighting to kick it down. I do not argue that a focus on similarities isn’t worth-while and useful. Shared humanity helps us identify with one another and each other’s struggles.

I do, however, argue that this approach should be only a part of an approach that prominently emphasizes the beauty, worth, value and right to exist of the different. Because, no matter what we say or may wish were the case, being gay isn’t the same as being straight. Being a person of color isn’t the same as being white. Being a woman isn’t the same as being a man. Being trans*

isn’t the same as being cis-gender. There is no such thing as being blind to difference. Rather than attempting to deny and erase our difference, we should be focused intently on it, expressing it openly, and working to convince oth-ers of the validity of our dif-ference. The LGBT community itself has made gains by

showing others that we’re not all that different – this is true. But in doing so we have not challenged the system that assigns worth to same-ness and devalues difference. That, in our advance, we have actually reinforced. We have also made many gains by emphasizing our dif-ference. We take pride not because we have accomplished some-thing in being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender – inherent qualities – but because coming out and acknowledging our difference in this culture of sameness is truly an accomplishment. We take pride in our rejec-tion of shame about our dif-ference. The coming out of millions of LGBT folks is perhaps the greatest act of emphasizing our difference to de-stigmatize it. Because we are not the same. And that is valid. That is worthy. In fact, I think it’s far bet-ter this way. Because whatever gains can be made by whitewashing difference away, something vital is lost along the way. A different culture. A dif-ferent perspective. A differ-ent possibility for how our world could be is lost when we decide to deny difference and conform. That is because there is no revolutionary potential in sameness. There is no room

for debate, disagreement, or a challenge to the status quo. Our difference has the potential to challenge and transform the mainstream in ways our sameness never could. I could emphasize my sameness to try to fit into a heterosexual, gender-binary world, or I could use my difference to challenge the devaluation of homosexual-ity and challenge the gender binary in favor of a gender spectrum. I challenge other minority

activists too, to take pride in your difference, to express it openly, and de-stigmatize rather than erase it. It is our difference, not our samenesss, that allows us to challenge the status quo and transform our world. Don’t ever deny your difference. Emhasize it. De-stigmatize it. Don’t climb the ladder. Kick the ladder down.

Bigelow has given us her masterpieceFILM REVIEW

War films are prob-lematic. Most of them are preachy, melodramatic and tedious, not to mention that they all give us the same anti-war message yet they glorify war violence to the point where it looks appeal-ing, not horrific. The war film genre is one of the most cliche-filled and overdone genres around, but director Kathryn Bigelow has now produced two of the best war films in recent years. The first was “The Hurt Locker,” 2009’s best picture winner, and now she has made “Zero Dark Thirty,” and it’s one of the most impressive cinematic achievements of the decade. Bigelow’s film is about the decade-long hunt for Osama bin Laden, told through the

perspective of CIA opera-tive Maya (Jessica Chastain). Beginning in 2003, Maya thinks she has found the key that will lead us to bin Laden: his personal courier, Abu Ahmed. Maya is the lone wolf on this lead, though. She initially can’t provide any evi-dence or intelligence that the man is still in contact with bin Laden, or even if he exists or is still alive. It’s all based on gut instinct, but she knows she’s right and that he’s the magic bullet that will lead to bin Laden’s location and eventual capture. The hunt for bin Laden is Maya’s obsession. She was recruited by the CIA right out of high school and this has been her only mission since joining. It’s her life’s work and her determina-

tion is strengthened when almost everyone around her is doubting her intelligence and ability.

Last year, Chastain had one of the best breakout years of any actress in recent memory, appearing in supporting roles in four films in which she stole the show in all of her scenes. In “Zero Dark Thirty,” Bigelow has given her a role that showcases her talent as

a lead actress, and it’s the performance of her career, capturing the passion and desperation of a woman

who is always the smartest in the room, a woman who knows she’s always right. One could easily ques-tion her motivation; she seems to have a per-sonal vendetta against bin Laden. But as I said earlier, her determina-tion likely comes from the fact that she knows how to get him, yet very few of her fellow operatives and superi-

ors give her any attention. Since the events in the film are still fresh in every American’s mind, it requires a lot of care to bring it to the screen in a way that doesn’t seem disrespectful or exploitive. Bigelow and screenwrit-er Mark Boal have recre-

ated the major events of the War on Terror with such maturity that they’ve almost created a new genre with the work. It almost plays like a documentary because of how it incorporates the major events of the War on Terror into the storyline. The film starts off with 9/11, with audio recordings of victims both in the planes and in the buildings while the screen is blacked out (the decision to not accompany the audio with archival 9/11 footage makes the opening scene incredibly haunting) and it ends with a recreation of the raid on bin Laden’s com-pound, told almost in real time.

director, the events portrayed in “Zero Dark Thirty” could have been given the typical Hollywood treatment of war, but Bigelow is an artist with a vision. Despite that there will probably be no way of knowing for sure what went on during the bin Laden raid, her recreation of the events is direct and unsentimental, which is the most appropriate way to handle this material. Any discussion of “Zero Dark Thirty” is incomplete without addressing the con-troversy that surrounds it. The film bluntly depicts scenes of torture, including waterboarding – scenes that are difficult to watch. Many film critics, activ-ists and politicians have criti-cized the film, claiming that Bigelow and Boal endorse the usage of torture because in the film, Maya first learns about Abu Ahmed through a detainee and torture vic-

tim, convincing many view-ers that torture led to the capture of bin Laden. One could easily make this connection after seeing the film, but I don’t think Bigelow or her movie are pro-torture. The film doesn’t claim that Abu Ahmed would never have been discovered if it hadn’t been for waterboard-ing. Bigelow herself said that she is against America’s use of torture, but it was a practice that was used, useful or not, during the hunt for Osama bin Laden. In my eyes, the inclusion of those scenes is complete-ly necessary. Not doing so would be shamefully rewrit-ing history. In fact, I’m not entirely sure that the film itself has a “stance” on tor-ture, which is something I commend it for. It plays like a true documentary; it merely shows that it happened. In a genre that is normally chock-full of preachiness, it’s refreshing to see a film depict a controversial topic in a non-

partisan way. “Zero Dark Thirty” is Bigelow’s unquestioned mas-terpiece. It’s technically flaw-less and artistic and it bril-liantly mixes the genres of drama, documentary, war and thriller evenly. For a movie that everyone already knows the ending to, it still makes the heart race witnessing the recreation of the events still fresh in every American’s mind. Bigelow’s efforts are a tes-tament of how underappreci-ated and underused women are in American filmmaking, especially in the director’s seat. In a genre and subject that has traditionally been associ-ated with the male gender, she has defied the odds by not only making the film’s hero a woman (the part could have easily been written for either gender), but by also creating two of the greatest war films in recent memory.

JANUARY 29, 2013 | NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | VOLUME 109, ISSUE 30

The University of Northern Iowa men’s bas-ketball team had a chance to pick up their first three-game Missouri Valley Conference winning streak since 2011, but fell short of the feat by less than a second Saturday afternoon in Terre Haute, Ind. After a home win against the Southern Illinois University Salukis, the Panthers suffered a heart-breaking 59-58 loss at the hands of the Indiana State University Sycamores. The Panthers hosted SIU Wednesday night. Coming off of two home victories in which UNI scored a com-bined 169 points, defense was the key in the 58-45 vic-tory over SIU. “I thought we did a great job on the defensive end tonight,” UNI senior guard Marc Sonnen said. “That was something we’ve been working on is our defense and guarding people off the dribble. I thought we did a great job at that today.” The Panthers jumped out to a 19-10 lead in the first half before taking a six-point lead into halftime, but blew the game open early in the second half with a 12-0 run to give them a 38-22 lead. Sonnen led the way for UNI with 15 points, all com-ing off of 3-pointers. “(Sonnen) has put in a lot of time. We’re talking a minimum of 500 shots a day for a long time in the offsea-son. He’s in every day right now. That’s why he’s shoot-ing it so well. You can see him playing with confidence. That’s a result of working hard,” UNI head coach Ben Jacobson said. “(Confidence) is an important aspect for this team because we bounced back and forth for so long. The guys deserve credit for not letting that part of the season distract them from their preparation,” Jacobson added. Saturday, the Panthers traveled to Indiana hoping to move into a third-place tie in the MVC. However, ISU used every second on the clock to take down the Panthers for the second time this season. The Sycamores beat the

Panthers in Cedar Falls 65-61 on Jan. 26. UNI, which led by four points at halftime, had as much as a seven-point lead in the second half before ISU went on a 9-1 run to take a three-point lead with just under three minutes to play. Senior guard Anthony James, who scored the final six points for UNI, hit a jump shot with 3.3 seconds left in the game to give the Panthers a 58-57 lead. After a timeout, ISU inbounded the ball to Jake Odum, who was forced to throw up a desperation

3-pointer. Odum missed the shot, but was fouled by UNI’s Jake Koch with 0.3 seconds left on the clock. Odum went on to hit two of his three free throws to give the Sycamores a 59-58 win. Odum finished the game with 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists. James ended the game with a team-high 15 points, and Koch added 13. The Panthers shot 47 percent from the 3-point line. With the split, UNI is now 4-5 in MVC play and is still tied for fifth place in the standings.

However, the Panthers are now two games behind the third-place Sycamores, who also hold the head-to-head tiebreaker between the two teams. UNI returns to action Tuesday night as they com-plete their Indiana roadtrip with a game against the University of Evansville Purple Aces in Evansville, Ind. The Panthers dropped a 62-59 contest to the Aces on Jan. 9 in Cedar Falls and have not won in the state of Indiana since Jan. 24, 2010.

The University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team lost a low-scoring bat-tle to Creighton University on Saturday by a score of 54-40. The Panthers (8-10, 3-3 MVC) scored a season low in points while shooting just 25 percent from the field. The Bluejays held on to the lead the entire game as the Panthers never got a scoring run put together. The Panthers did not score in the opening five minutes of action, and didn’t get on the scoreboard until sophomore Sharnae Lamar hit a two-point jumper to get the Panthers started offensively. UNI scored more consistent-ly throughout the remainder of the first half as they went into the locker room down 24-21. UNI freshman Hannah Schonhardt made sure the Panthers didn’t open the sec-ond half on another scoring drought as she hit a 3-pointer to bring the score to 27-25 in favor of the Bluejays. However, Creighton went on a 10-2 run to extend their lead to 37-27 led by senior Ally Jensen. Jensen finished with a game-high 10 rebounds to go along with her six points. UNI redshirt freshman Jen Keitel made the second to last Panther field goal with just under 10 minutes left in regula-tion. The Panthers scored only from the free-throw line until Schonhardt ended the field goal drought with just 33 seconds left. Schonhardt finished the game with nine points and a team-high nine rebounds. The Panthers made just five field goals in the second half as they shot just 19 percent. Senior Jacqui Kalin was not scoring at her usual pace and effectiveness as she shot just 2-for-14 without making any shots from long range. Kalin finished with nine points, which tied her season low in the scoring department, along with eight rebounds. CU freshman Marissa Janning scored a game-high 12 points off the bench while junior Sarah Nelson added 11 points and seven rebounds. The Panthers faced the Drake University Bulldogs Sunday afternoon in Des Moines. For a recap of Sunday’s game, pick up Friday’s issue of the Northern Iowan.

sports PAGE 9NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2013

The University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team stands at 11-10 overall and 4-5 in Missouri Valley Conference play with nine conference games left on the regular season slate. The Panthers are currently in a fifth-place tie in the MVC stand-ings, one game behind the University of Evansville for fourth place and two games back of Indiana State University for third place. However, the Sycamores not only hold a two-game lead on the Panthers, but also the head-to-head tiebreaker. Also on a down note, the Panthers are tied with two other teams for fifth place and only hold a one game lead over two other teams behind them. I don’t think UNI can catch Wichita State University or Creighton University, which currently sit atop the standings, and I don’t think Southern Illinois University can catch the Panthers as SIU sits at the bottom of the MVC. That means the Panthers are com-peting with six other teams (pos-sibly five depending on your stance with Indiana State) to avoid playing on Thursday, March 7, in St. Louis for the “play-in” round of the MVC Tournament. History suggests the Panthers need to avoid playing on Thursday. No team has ever played on the open-ing day of the MVC Tournament and won four games in four days to clinch the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. UNI has four home games and five road games remaining against MVC competition. To feel safe about avoiding play-ing on Thursday, the Panthers likely need to finish conference play at 10-8, which means they need to go 6-3 to

end the year. A record of 9-9 may get the job done. However, Indiana State finished last year 9-9 in MVC play and was forced to play in the opening round of the conference tournament. The Panthers have Wichita State and Creighton left on the slate; how-ever, both games are at home. UNI likely needs to split these two games, beat Missouri State University and Illinois State University at home and win at least three of their five road games to get to 6-3. However, UNI is just 2-8 away from the McLeod Center this season and has yet to beat a MVC opponent with a winning conference record. On a positive note, UNI has played good basketball the last five games and may be finding their groove. If not for a questionable call in the last second of Saturday’s game against Indiana State, the Panthers would be 5-4 in MVC play and tied for third place. UNI’s three losses to Indiana State and Evansville thus far, coming by a combined eight points, is the differ-ence between UNI being 4-5 and 7-2 and in second place in the MVC. Despite a losing record in MVC play, the Panthers are still a good team and a team that can do some damage in the conference tournament. The Panthers haven’t won in the state of Indiana since Jan. 24, 2010, the year UNI went to the Sweet 16. If the Panthers want to avoid playing in the opening round of the MVC Tournament this year, a win in Evansville, Ind., on Tuesday night would be a huge step in the right direction. I predict UNI will go 6-3 down the stretch and finish in fourth place in the MVC, and if the Panthers can avoid playing on Thursday in St. Louis, any-thing is possible.
