NISG candidates vie for officeWith less than a week to go

before Northern Iowa’s Student Government elections, the presi-dential and senatorial candidates answered questions posed by a live audience and through Twitter on Tuesday.

“The questions were hard but fair and it wasn’t just based on our platforms,” said Eric Boisen, vice presidential candidate. “We were all equally grilled on things that we’re lacking and things that we do well in.”

Boisen is running with presi-dential candidate Corey Cooling. Presidential candidate Kevin Gartman and vice presidential can-didate Paul Andersen are running against the pair.

While some students who attend-ed the debate were content with the questions asked and the candidates’ answers, others thought the debate focused on the wrong aspects of the candidates’ campaigns.

“I think we focused too much on the fluffy positive aspects of their platforms,” said Alicia Jessip, senior communications major. “I do want to hear about the flaws in your plat-form and your running mate. Have you addressed those?”

The questions covered such top-ics as gender-neutral bathrooms and housing, inclusion and diver-

sity on campus, quality of educa-tion and fostering a better relation-ship between the student body and NISG.

The candidates agreed on many issues, including a second year of tuition freeze and working with the Department of Residence to cre-ate gender-neutral establishments. They differed on issues concerning how best to help student organiza-tions.

Cooling and Boisen plan to pro-mote the current resources for UNI’s student organizations. Gartman and Andersen hope to establish a “one-stop shop” for student organi-zations to find resources.

Andrew Kunkle, senior pubic administration major, said the best question was about student organi-zation fairs.

“I was a transfer student and I think it would’ve helped me had they had one,” Kunkle said.

The tickets also differed on how to improve the quality of education and on what will help UNI the most when facing the legislature.

Cooling and Boisen plan to place more value on the Liberal Arts Core, but Gartman and Andersen said it was important to commu-nicate the availability of already existing educational resources on campus, like the Office of Academic Advising.

STUDENT VOICES

Since UNI is the regent university with the highest percentage of native Iowa

students, Gartman and Andersen said it was important to communicate the funding needs of the school. However, Cooling and Boisen said convincing the legislature that

UNI isn’t the “little brother” of the regent universities was the most important.

NISG election polls open at 7 a.m. Tuesday and close 7 p.m. Wednesday.

TWLOHA to help winter bluesPAGE 3OpiniOnLINH TA

OPINION [email protected]

FEBRUARY 20, 2014 | NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | VOLUME 110, ISSUE 38

A need is a need, and it should be accommodated

Welcome to Antarctica … I mean, Iowa. Thanks to Mother Nature, we have been experiencing extreme colds, dropping approxi-mately 30 F below normal. At times like these, when 15 F feels like a heat wave, it may seem like the seven potential months of winter-like weather will never come to a conclusion.

But, the end is in sight. March 20, the first day of spring, is just a few weeks away. However, for those affected with Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, those few weeks may as well be an eternity.

According to “Psychology Today,” over 10 million Americans suffer from this illness, which is common-ly referred to as “winter depression.”

“Some people expe-

rience a serious mood change when the seasons change,” according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. “They may sleep too much, have little energy and may also feel depressed. Though symptoms can be severe, they usually clear up.”

Iowa college students are at a heightened risk for this disorder, as it commonly affects people 20 and older, with higher rates in the northern U.S.

Symptoms often include a tendency to oversleep and overeat (causing weight gain), nausea, difficulty wak-ing up in the morning, lack of energy, difficulty concen-trating, decreased sex drive

and social withdrawal. Scientists believe SAD

may be an evolutionary remnant in humans. The lower mood would have reduced the need for food intake, eliciting a sort of hibernation-type period and thus explaining the change in behavior today. Furthermore, this disorder affects more women than men, suggesting it may have something to do with the regulation of reproduction.

There is a battery of dif-ferent treatments available to combat SAD. Typical managements include medi-cation, light therapy, mela-tonin supplements and cog-nitive-behavioral therapy. Support groups are another convenient option.

UNI has a student orga-nization called To Write Love On Her Arms, other-wise known as TWLOHA. This inspirational group is one of thousands of chap-ters around the world. The national mission statement is, “To Write Love On Her Arms … is dedicated to pre-

senting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addic-tion, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encour-age, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treat-ment and recovery.”

The executive board plans insightful, motivat-ing meetings each week, full of group participation and fun to help lift participants’ spirits. The UNI TWLOHA chapter encourages all stu-dents to attend their meet-ings at 9 p.m. every Tuesday

in the Elm Room of the Maucker Union.

In the words of TWLOHA founder Jamie Tworkowski, “We live in a difficult world, a broken world. We believe everyone can relate to pain. All of us live with questions and all of us get stuck in moments. You need to know you’re not alone in the places you feel stuck. Beyond treat-ment, we believe communi-ty is essential. People need other people. We were never meant to do life alone.”

This weekend, I was at a conference and attended a workshop called “Queering Disability.” As I arrived in the workshop room, I noticed the presenter, who had a visible disability, sit-ting on the stage instead of presenting on it.

Somehow the confer-ence committee had failed to notice they booked his workshop in a room with an inaccessible stage (one could only get onstage by using stairs). The irony of the situation showed an ugly part of our society: we are failing to accommodate people with disabilities.

Many don’t see the need for accommodation because they fail to acknowledge disabilities that are invis-ible. The definition of dis-ability is broad. A lot of people immediately think of a person in a wheelchair when they think of people with disabilities, but this is a narrow view.

The Americans with Disabilities Act defines dis-ability as having a physical or mental impairment that

s u b s t a n t i a l ly affects one or more major life activities. This definition includes visible disabilities as well as invisible disabilities, such as mental illness.

People often harshly judge those whose disabili-ties aren’t visible, some-times even publicly mock-ing them. The assumption that only visible disabilities exist is harmful to people with disabilities, and we need to broaden our view to stop shutting them out.

Sometimes I see prob-lems with accessibil-ity at UNI. When UNI Proud’s office was placed in the Purple Pen room in Maucker Union for a year, we quickly noticed it was not accessible to everyone. The only way to get to the room was by using stairs.

Soon after, we started noticing there were many other places on campus with limited accessibility. When our sidewalks are not properly plowed, the snow can get caught in

the wheels of a wheelchair, which makes movement difficult. I have rarely seen sign language interpreters at UNI events. I see strobe lights at our dances more often than not, which can be a hazard to people with photosensitive epilepsy.

We aren’t the most inac-cessible campus, but we aren’t the most accessible either. We keep operating on the assumption that someone with a disability should be present before we set up accommodations. We should be setting up

accommodations regardless of who is present, so that all students really are wel-come at our events.

According to the 2010 U.S census, 19 percent of the population had a dis-ability. When such a large percentage of the popula-tion is affected by a dis-ability, there is no excuse for widespread ignorance of their needs.

When we classify dis-ability related needs as “special,” we think of accommodating them as a special circumstance.

However, accommodating people shouldn’t be a spe-cial circumstance; it should be something we do every day without hesitancy. A need is a need, and it should be accommodated.

During the next eight weeks, the Northern Iowan will feature a Greek chapter every Thursday to better acquaint UNI students to fraternity and sorority life on and off campus. This week’s column features UNI’s chapter of the Alpha Phi International Fraternity.

Members of Alpha Phi at UNI and colleges nationwide share a commitment to excel-lence and a strong desire to help one another and their communities, according to the Alpha Phi website.

Jessie Benson, UNI Alpha Phi president, said the main focus of Alpha Phi is to help each other go further.

“It is always nice to bounce ideas off of each other or having someone to talk to no matter what,” Benson said.

Alpha Phi is one of the oldest Greek chapters to have its own foundation, accord-ing to the UNI Alpha Phi website. Members raise awareness and money for women’s heart health. The UNI chapter partners with the Waterloo House of Hope, which aids homeless women

and children.“My favorite part of

A(lpha) Phi is the philan-thropy part of it, especially the Red Dress Gala and the Alpha Phi Foundation,” said Amanda Walker, junior inter-active digital studies major.

Alpha Phi holds the Red Dress Gala every February to raise funds for their nation-al foundation. Last year, the women of Alpha Phi raised almost $10,000 dollars to benefit their foundation and local charities.

Alpha Phi places value on sisterhood, service, scholar-ship, leadership, loyalty and character development, and it is these values that bring individuals together.

As an out-of-state student, Walker said it was important to identify with other mem-bers of Alpha Phi in order to make her college experience more enjoyable.

A lot of sorority women would agree that the bonds you make throughout your college journey with your fel-low sisters are important. For this reason, Alpha Phi regu-larly holds sisterhood activi-ties, such as planned dinners or craft days.

“Sisterhood and mak-

ing friends” is the best part of Greek life for Mackenzie Bloem, senior elementary education major.

There are many motiva-tions for joining a sorority or fraternity at UNI, but one commonality is to make inti-mate friendships and unlimit-ed networking opportunities.

“With our large numbers it is easier to recruit, increase awareness about our philan-thropic events on campus and be involved in the commu-nity,” Benson said.

With 77 members this year, Alpha Phi continues to be a large presence on campus and in the Greek community.

Road to the NFL: A weekly update from Tyler Sievertsen

SPORTS: PRO DREAMS

This past week was full of training and preparation for the first combine in New Jersey at the New York Jets facility. I made a trip to Naples, Fla., to kick on arti-ficial turf and work with another kicker who was attending the same combine. We got in two two-hour workouts and we both felt prepped and ready to go.

The journey to New Jersey was interesting to say the least. I woke up early Saturday morning to leave for my first flight from Tampa, Fla., to Houston. The drive to the airport went without traffic and I arrived in plenty of time to catch my first leg. The flight was smooth and I arrived two hours before my next flight.

I got off the plane and my next gate was close so I checked the departure board. That’s when I noticed my flight to Newark had been cancelled because of snow in the Northeast. I began to panic because I had to report to the Jets facility at 7 a.m. Sunday morning. My parents began to make phone calls as I waited in a long line with angry pas-sengers who were supposed to be on the same flight.

After a long hour and a half, I had two options. The first was to catch a direct flight to Baltimore and drive four hours once I arrived, which would have put me in New Jersey at 8 p.m. The second was to risk the weather and fly to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and take an hour cab ride to the hotel.

This experience remind-

ed me of the road trip to Missouri State University this past season. That trip was filled with airplane issues due to weather and we didn’t make it to the stadium until an hour before game time.

I decided to take a chance and fly to New York. The plane made it out on time, and after being in a hold-ing pattern for half an hour to clear the snow from the runway, we landed in New York. I walked down to bag-gage claim and I found a town car waiting to take me to my hotel in New Jersey. I arrived at the hotel and checked in to the room the NFL had set aside. The room was pretty amazing and I was finally able to relax and get ready for the morning competition.

I left early the next morning and got into the facility with plenty of time to spare. The temperature inside was 20 F degrees and the footballs were slightly flat and felt like rocks when they came off the foot. I knew that I would have to set this aside and do what I prepared to do. The compe-tition began and it involved a lot of sitting around and waiting.

When it was my turn to kick, I hit my kickoffs pretty well compared to the other kickers. Once I hit my three kickoffs I had to wait for the field goal portion.

I finished the day in the middle of the pack, but I learned a lot about the for-mat and how to stay focused. I believe I am now prepared to move forward to my next combine in Phoenix Feb. 28.

Time to get back to work and enjoy the weather for the week before I start the next journey.

Senior day win sets school record

ERIN KEISER/Northern IowanSenior Ryan Loder (above) left the West Gym for the final time in his career with a win Sunday. Loder is now 10-0 on the season after missing time earlier in the year due to injury.

NICK GARYSports Writer

It was a record-setting night for the fourth-ranked Northern Iowa wrestling team as they improved to 12-0 for the first time in program history during Saturday’s meet with Purdue University. The fate of the match was up in the air going into the heavyweight match, but Blaize Cabell sealed the 21-12 victory over the Boilermakers with a decision over Alex White.

“Our guys should be proud of what they have done so far,” said head coach Doug Schwab. “With the kind of history that this program has had, setting some his-tory is a great thing. It’s a tribute to our guys.”

Not only did they earn their 12th victory of the sea-son, but the Panthers were able to send their six seniors out with a bang at the last home meet of their careers.

“There is a lot of emo-tions on a day like today,” Schwab said. “We wanted to send our seniors out victori-ous, but they still have a lot to accomplish.”

In the only match consist-ing of two ranked wrestlers, top-ranked senior Joe Colon fought off a hard effort from 12th-ranked Cashé Quiroga, 8-6. Colon, currently 23-1, has now defeated seven of

the top 15 wrestlers at 133 pounds.

Senior Joey Lazor lost his first dual match of the season to Danny Sabatello, 14-10. Lazor, who is still recovering from an elbow injury, fought back after falling behind 10-5. Lazor used a takedown to bring the score to 12-10 before Sabatello used a reversal at the end of the match to put

it out of reach. “It’s a sour taste for

Lazor to lose on senior day,” Schwab said. “Sabatello came out firing, and he has to make adjustments, but he still has a lot to do.”

Senior Ryan Loder improved to 10-0 after a win against Tanner Lynde. He used a takedown in the first period, a reversal in the third period and nearly

5 minutes of riding time to defeat Lynde, 5-0. Loder has defeated his opponents by a combined score of 75-8 with one fall this season.

Despite the day centering around the seniors, it was freshman Dylan Peters who once again stole the show.

At 125 pounds, Peters tal-lied his 16th fall of the sea-son against Camden Eppert. Peters was trailing Eppert

midway through the second period until he overpowered him, using a takedown and an eventual pin to earn the only bonus points of the day for either team.

“The win is great, but our ultimate goal is the Mid-American Conference and NCAA Championships,” Schwab said. “We have five weeks left of being ultradis-ciplined to get ready.”

Panthers stun 24th-ranked ShockersWOMEN’S BASKETBALL

NICK ALVARADOSports Writer

As the final buzzer sounded and reality sank in, Northern Iowa forward Jen Keitel ran over to her team’s bench and into the open arms of Brittni Donaldson, which the two would later laughingly acknowledge as a somewhat awkward moment. But it’s not every day you beat the 24th-ranked team in the nation 80-71 while simultaneously snapping their 20-game win-ning streak.

“I was just so excited,” Keitel said. “I could see that my teammates were excited. Brit and I shared this awkward hug at the end of the game; it was just awesome. It’s one of the greatest feelings in the world.”

The Panthers jumped on the Wichita State University Shockers early, starting the game off with a 14-4 run and forcing WSU into a slew of miscues, which included eight

turnovers in the first 10 min-utes of regulation. Forward Amber Sorenson sunk a trio of 3-pointers during that time-frame and was a big contribu-tor to the early offensive surge from UNI.

The Panthers shot 44 per-cent from the field, which

included a 50 percent mark from 3-point range in the first half. The scrappy defense and deft shooting percentages led to the Shockers playing catch-up the entire game.

Wichita State fought back hard in the second half and came within 3 points of UNI,

but they were never quite able to wrestle the lead away from the Panthers. Keitel, Donaldson and guard Brooke Brown took over the offensive load for the Panthers in the second half, scoring 37 of the team’s 39 second-half points. Donaldson, Keitel and Brown

finished the game with 22, 19 and 17 points respectively.

WSU guard Alex Harden put forth a valiant effort, how-ever, scoring a game and career-high 31 points. She accumu-lated nearly half of her team’s total score and outscored the next three highest scoring players on her team combined. She also had a game-high five turnovers, but she handled the ball for much of the game.

“(Harden is) the LeBron James of the (Missouri Valley Conference), honestly,” said UNI head coach Tanya Warren. “She’s as good as I’ve seen, and I’ve been doing this for 21 years.”

The Panthers improved to 9-4 in the MVC and 13-11 overall. Up next for UNI is Loyola University Chicago, which UNI beat 70-59 in their first matchup of the season. This time the teams will square off in Chicago at Loyola’s home court. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

ERIN KEISER/Northern IowanHannah Schonhardt (20) returned to the UNI starting lineup Sunday and recorded 11 rebounds in the Panthers’ 80-71 upset of 24th-ranked Wichita State.
