Skateboarding policy suspendedPOLICY CHANGE

LINH TAStaff Writer

The University of Northern Iowa Department of Public Safety recently sus-pended the policy that forbids skateboarding on campus, a policy that had been in place for the past six years.

The temporary suspension allows stu-dents to use their skateboards and long-boards on campus as long as they are not damaging property or harming anyone. According to Dave Zarifis, the UNI director of public safety, this temporary suspension provides a stepping stone towards placing a permanent new policy, allowing students to

skateboard or longboard on the campus. Tyler Gardner, a junior electronic media

major, thinks the suspension is “awesome.” He said that he and his other friends that own boards will start taking advantage of the suspension while the weather is still pleasant.

“It’s going to be cool you can skate to class,” Gardner said. “You can be free to do that.”

The policy change was sparked by a reso-lution passed by the Northern Iowa Student Government last March after members of its Student Affairs Committee received a

The University of Northern Iowa was one of the Cedar Valley tour stops of the Greater Kansas City Chapter of the Guardians of the Pink Ribbon’s pink fire trucks. The fire truck came to UNI on Sept. 9, and women who were fighting or had survived cancer had the chance to sign their name on the truck. The pink fire truck campaign is a way for communities to raise awareness and funds for local women’s cancer groups, according to a press release.

Students arrested for purchasing fake IDs

BLAKE FINDLEYStaff Writer

The University of Northern Iowa recently came to the attention of the United States Department of Homeland Security when two UNI students were caught ordering fake IDs from China.

According to an article in the Waterloo Courier, the two students were arrested for possession of false iden-tification. The Cedar Falls Police received a tip from the Department of Homeland Security, obtained a search warrant and found a package of two dozen licenses.

In an interview with

the Courier, Jeff Olson, the Cedar Falls police chief, commented on the apparent authenticity of said identi-fication.

“These fake IDs were extremely close matches to local driver’s licenses,” Olson said. “They were so good you

State relations officer resigns

CRIME GOVERNMENT

After three years serving as state relations officer for the University of Northern Iowa, Joe Murphy is mov-ing on to the private sector.

“(Murphy has been) an amazing advocate for stu-dents,” Rhonda Greenway, director of governmental relations for the Northern Iowa Student Government, said in a statement.

Each state university in Iowa has a state relations officer. The person in the role reports to both their assigned university and the Board of Regents.

The pr imar y responsibility of the position is to work with legislators, the board and the respective universities on the legislation affecting the state schools. During the

legislative session, the state relations officer can be found in Des Moines, representing their university’s interests. The ultimate goal for state relations officers is to ensure their universities’ needs are being addressed in the legislative session.

Oversold parking passes cause problems for students, staff

AJ CASSIDYStaff Writer

On any given morning at the University of Northern Iowa, cars whip through the parking lanes of the B lot near Campbell Hall. Some drivers patiently watch stu-dents walking across 23rd Street to their cars, poised to swoop in and snatch an ever-elusive parking spot.

Other drivers leave their cars along the north side of the lot near the tennis courts. These drivers take a risk and often come back to find orange parking violations

nestled under their wind-shield wiper blades. With more drivers than parking spots, the race to find a park-ing spot is ongoing.

According to the UNI Public Safety website, there are 8,300 parking spots on UNI’s campus and more than 16,000 students, staff and visitors that come to campus each day. To accom-modate this, the university offers parking passes. Passes have different designations depending on the user of the pass, whether they are staff

concern about the current skateboarding policy. The res-olution, which recommended modifying the policy to allow for the use of long board, Ripsticks and Razor scooters on campus, was sent to the Department of Public Safety.

“We just wanted to make sure that students would be able to use feasible means of transportation,” said Ryan Alfred, the NISG Speaker of the Senate. “It offers another option other than driving, rid-ing a bicycle or just walking.”

Zarifis believes that the new policy will appease board-ers while also protecting the safety of school property and pedestrians.

“We want to take a fresh look at it and let everyone understand what the rules are and what we’ll allow and what we won’t allow,” Zarifis said.

Vertical boarding and doing tricks will not be toler-ated on campus, according to Zarifis. This is because skate-boarders doing tricks have caused property damage in the past.

To help prevent property damage from happening in the future, Alfred said that those reviewing the policy are taking a look at enforcing a rule that would temporarily ban boarders from using their equipment if they are found damaging property.

The Department of Public Safety, NISG and various other UNI administration members are taking a look at the safety implications nec-essary to keep students and property out of harm’s way.

“We certainly don’t want to be restricting people if they’re operating in a prudent, reasonable manner,” Zarifis said. “Likewise, we need to make sure that we have rules and regulations that will pro-tect pedestrians (from) that equipment.”

With input from NISG and other UNI administra-tors, Zarifis hopes to come to a final resolution on the skate-boarding policy no later than this spring.

Zarifis hopes everyone can “understand how we may need to restrict (skateboards) for safety reasons and for dam-age.”

“But we can also interact together to provide a safe campus, (while still) allow-ing those things that students may want,” he said. “That’s really what the catalyst is to move this forward.”

Gardner said that he is willing to do what it takes to keep the privilege of board-ing. He advised skateboarders to refrain from doing tricks and to stay on the sidewalk or street.

“Just ride to class and be careful of people,” Gardner said. “Be aware of your sur-roundings.”

NEWS IN BRIEF

UNI ranks in U.S. News & World Report’s ‘America’s Best Colleges’

NI NEWS SERVICE

The University of Northern Iowa is ranked second in the “Best Regional Universities (Midwest)” category for public universities, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2012 “America’s Best Colleges” guidebook.

The magazine’s ranking criteria include peer assess-ment, academic reputation, retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduation-rate performance and alumni giving rate.

UNI was also 16th on a combined list of all public and private Midwest regional universities -- one of only three public institutions to make the list of top-20 Midwest regionals.

“It’s an honor to be considered one of the best uni-versities in the Midwest,” said Benjamin Allen, UNI president. “We know our students receive a high-quality education at UNI. Our faculty and staff strive to provide our students with personalized and diverse educational experiences needed for today’s global economy. UNI is committed to providing students the best academic pro-grams and experiences to excel in their careers.”

UNI offers new class to help freshmen transition

At the start of their fresh-man year, many students arrive with very little idea what to expect from other students and professors, a vague idea of how much to study and little idea where anything is located. Partially to help with these issues, the University of Northern Iowa now offers a yearlong course for freshmen called Cornerstone.

According to the course description, Cornerstone “incorporates both written and oral communication, has strong academic content and orients students to college life and expectations.”

“The Cornerstone came out of a self-study done by UNI called Foundations of Excellence,” said David Grant, one of the instructors for the course.

Grant, an assistant pro-fessor of languages and lit-erature, explained that the course has three interrelated goals. These goals, as defined by Grant, are communica-tion, learning and civility. The chart depicting these goals expands on that by say-ing that each of those three goals has both an individual and a social dimension.

“Cornerstone will provide credit for section 1A and 1B of the liberal arts core, which is the writing section and oral communications,” Grant said.

Grant also said that in addition to the communica-tion aspect, Cornerstone will include philosophy and an “explicit focus on the transi-tions, expectations, challeng-es and pressures of college life.”

For example, students will learn things like what office hours and finals are and how a student should contact his or her professor.

“The professors will ask students to think critically,” Grant said. “Ideally, they’ll learn strategies, foundations and applications to enhance their college experience and be given tools to succeed later in life.”

Each section of Cornerstone also has a student mentor. Amanda Huisman, one such mentor, explained her duties.

“I attend Cornerstone class for my assigned section,” said Huisman, a sophomore com-municative disorders major. “I hold office hours for the students along with doing activities and what not to prepare for each class. Also, there may be some miscella-

neous duties assigned by the instructor.”

Huisman also says that there is one volunteer men-tor for each section along with three floaters who could cover if someone could not attend their assigned class.

“The class has been going well,” Huisman said. “It will be interesting to see how things have changed by the end of the year.”

According to Grant, there have been and will contin-ue to be some challenges. However, he stressed that the Cornerstone class is a pilot program, and there could and probably will be changes in the years to come.

“(Cornerstone) was born out of recognition by faculty that we can and should strive for excellence,” Grant said. “We want UNI students to come out of their college career ready for the 21st cen-tury. It’d be a waste of tuition dollars if we didn’t prepare them. Cornerstone is one such effort.”

Candra Barnes, a freshman education major, described her experience thus far with Cornerstone.

“I think (Cornerstone) is very helpful,” Barnes said. “The wide array of different things we do in the class is great. We started out with a book called ‘The Zeitoun,’ which was enjoyable. I really enjoy that the class is so laid back, but that we work really hard at the same time.”

However, Barnes suggest-ed the class pick up the speed a little bit and commented that she was frustrated that the students have had to buy and read books that are not even discussed in class.

Corey Cooling, a sopho-more physics and philosophy double major, when asked if he would have appreciated such a course his freshman year, responded with “abso-lutely.”

“I bet with a really good teacher, (Cornerstone) would be awesome,” Cooling said. “I think it’s better when teach-ers have more leeway in how they can teach the class. And I can only imagine the things that would come up in a class like that for freshmen.”

Grant wanted to remind students of the effort to pro-vide them with a course that gives a truly quality experi-ence.

“Rather than having a series of courses (that) stu-dents spend time and money taking, this is a sincere attempt by faculty to develop a course that’s actually worth taking,” Grant said.

could scan it and they would pull information up on the screen.”

He also commented that fake IDs are fairly common in the area, whether they have been borrowed, created or bought.

Several students expressed their incredu-lity that others would do this. They spoke on the condition of anonymity.

“I just can’t believe how desperate some people are to drink their days away at college,” one said.

Another saw this incident as something that fuels a stereotype of wild college stu-dents.

“Those students put in all the effort to obtain false identification from China, but can’t or don’t spend any time studying. It’s embarrassing where some of my fellow stu-dents’ priorities lie.”

One student was offered to get in on an order of the fake driver’s licenses.

“One of my friends came up to me and asked if I would like to get a fake ID from China,” he said. “I responded by saying ‘First, I’m 21. Second, that is a stupid idea.’”

Some students were supportive of the idea.“We buy everything else from China; why

not driver’s licenses?” another joked.One student found the drinking age unfair.“If they allow us to enlist in the military

and potentially sacrifice our lives for our country, they should let us drink,” one said. “It’s their own fault. We are pushed into find-ing ways to drink.”

Another student lauded the idea.“You know, I know it is illegal, but the fact

that they wanted something bad enough that they went so far as to order false identification from China shows that they have guts,” she said. “I am truly impressed.”

One student thought the story was getting too much attention.

“Yeah, they ordered fake driver’s licenses. Yeah, they got caught. Everyone else does it. What’s the big deal?”

best interests of the institution – at heart, it’s an educational role,” said Pat Geadelmann, executive assistant to President Benjamin Allen and director of external relations.

For Murphy, service to the university was something he was accustomed to. Murphy served as president of NISG during his time as a student at UNI, and he says the experi-ence created a foundation for his future work.

“My time at UNI was great from when I was a freshman in Bender Hall to my work with the Board of Regents,” Murphy said. “It was a great opportunity from President Allen and the Board of Regents that they entrusted me to my work in the Capitol.”

Murphy is the latest in a long line of

UNI alumni to serve in the position. “I think that’s really been a strength,”

Geadelmann said. “Every person that’s ever represented the university (as state relations officer) has been from UNI. There’s a lot of tradition that way, and it really helps if you understand the culture, the people and the organization.”

The Board of Regents is now actively pursuing candidates for the position. When the selection process is narrowed down, President Allen will help make the final deci-sion on who will perform the duties.

“Whoever’s named will work with the students; that’s going to be an important part of the job, so we want them to value the voice of students and have a strong commu-nication link with them,” Geadelmann said.

or student and on- or off-cam-pus. Two of the pass designa-tions, A and B, are oversold each year by around 10 per-cent.

“When (A and B lots) are full, you have to park in C (lot), and you can get a ticket if you park in the wrong lot,” said Danna Palen, a senior global studies major.

For B permit holders, there is no such thing as a guaran-teed spot. According to Daniel Zimmerman, a junior German major, the B lots by Campbell hall and the Multimodal Transportation Center are usually full. He is usually only able to find a spot available by the McLeod Center.

Palen’s experience with parking is similar to Zimmerman’s.

“(At) different times of the day, it’s harder to find parking,” Palen said. “It really depends on what time you have class.”

Dave Zarifis, UNI director of public safety, doesn’t see the parking situation as “any dif-ferent” from prior years.

“It takes awhile to adjust, and then people get accus-tomed to where they can and can’t park,” Zarifis said. “What we see at the beginning of the year is a lot more confusion.”

The university is constant-ly tweaking the system of parking, according to Zarifis. The recently completed

Multimodal Transportation Center, which replaced the old Commons parking lot, is the most recent parking lot upgrade, and there are plans to build another lot south of 31st Street to accommo-date the new student hous-ing. Zarifis anticipates this will loosen some of the park-ing congestion on the north side of campus, but is unsure what will become of the lot by Bartlett when faculty move in.

“There’s a difference between convenient parking and adequate parking,” Zarifis said. “In all my years, very rarely, maybe once or twice has there ever been a time when there (were) no places to park.”

Zarifis sees the parking system as a give-and-take.

“What I give to one group, I have to take from the other,” Zarifis said. “I don’t know how to fit 100 cars in one parking space.”

Molly Pleggenkuhle, a senior communication sciences and disorders major, frequent-ly parks near the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center for her classes in Seerley Hall.

“If I ride my bike, it’s a lot faster, but I can’t do that in the rain and snow,” Pleggenkhule said.

The strain on parking on campus is exacerbated in the winter, when snow piles leave fewer spaces and sidewalks become more dangerous. The Department of Public Safety suggests the Panther Shuttle for periods of bad weather and even for students finding themselves parked far away from their classroom buildings. The bus, which is free for stu-dents, makes a circuitous route through stops at high-volume housing complexes and busy intersections twice an hour. The route can be found on the Public Safety website, www.uni.edu/pubsaf/.

To alleviate parking head-aches, resources like the park-ing regulations and maps are available online. These mate-rials are also given out to stu-dents when they receive their permits.

“We see a lot of the infor-mation that we hand out that’s discarded,” Zarifis said. “Unfortunately, some students just learn through tickets. I wish there were a different way, but if you park illegally, you have to choose to do that.”

PARKINGcontinued from page 1

You’re sitting in your dorm room or apartment. You’re hungry, so you pick up the phone and call for delivery. Or, you’re passing through the Union between classes and you forgot to bring a snack again, so you splurge on something tasty at Prexy’s. Convenience is great for the time-pressed college student, but eating out too often means you’re eating your money. It may be easy to lose track of how much money one spends on food a week. Try this: think of an amount of money that you think would

be sensible to spend on food and non-alcoholic beverages per week (outside of a meal plan, if you have one). Go to an ATM or your piggy bank and set aside that amount in cash. Spend only that cash on food and beverages and see how long it takes to disap-pear. (This can be especially eye-opening for those who use their U-cards or debit cards to pay for most of their food purchases.) “Ah,” you say, “but I am a connoisseur of the McDonald’s Dollar Menu! I’ve beaten the system!” Often, when you save

money, you still pay the price elsewhere. Even a modest meal off the Dollar Menu is far from ideal health-wise. A McDouble with a small serving of fries and a small Coke provides 770 calories, 24 grams of fat and 65 milligrams of cholesterol, according to nutritional infor-mation on www.mcdonalds.com. Obviously, most college stu-dents are busy people and can’t be bothered to slave over a hot stove all evening. They order a pizza because it’s quick and convenient. But consider this: How much time does it take for

that pizza to get to your door? Depends on the day and your address, but it’s usually any-where from 30 to 45 minutes, or even longer. Making your own food at home is very often cheaper, more convenient and more nutritious than eating out. In your own kitchen, you control the ingredients and the por-tion sizes, and you can usu-ally produce decent, nutritious meals in as much or less time that you might spend getting food from another source. Not sure how to get start-ed? One really handy resource is Iowa State University’s Spend Smart, Eat Smart blog, www.extension.iastate.edu/foodsavings/. There, you can find a wealth of information about planning and shopping for meals, as well as dozens of easy and appealing recipes. It is possible to be frugal and health-conscious when eat-ing at restaurants or on the go. It’s certainly not feasible for many people to only eat food prepared at home, and going out to eat with friends and family is simply an enjoyable thing to do. However, don’t let convenience become a crutch.

On Sunday, Sept. 11, the University of Northern Iowa launched the yearlong project “Reaching for Higher Ground: Community After 9/11.” At 7 p.m., students and local residents packed the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center to watch “Remembrance: 9/11 Ten Years Later” to com-memorate the events of Sept. 11, 2001. The show included musical performances by the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony, Metropolitan Chorale and Red Cedar Chamber Music and student reflections by UNI theatre students. The reflections were created by the students performing them and the

musical performances were accompanied by visual media presented on a projection screen. Senior theatre major Ryan Decker started the reflec-tions with a personal tale of how he remembers 9/11. He recalled that before 9/11, going to sleep in his dark bedroom at the end of a narrow hall was terrifying. Then one day in sixth grade, he found a lot more to be afraid of than the creaking floors of his house. “My 11-year-old mind, which could imagine razor-sharp-toothed monsters under my bed and murderers in my closet, could not fath-om the events of a Tuesday morning,” said Decker. “Sept. 11 woke me up.” The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra and

Metropolitan Chorale fol-lowed Decker with a moving number while the screen dis-played moving still-frames, including one of a man in the woods. Letters faded in and flickered onto the screen to spell out words like “O Soul,” “undreamed,” “eter-nal” and “all is blank.” The imagery paired with the bur-geoning sounds of the com-bined orchestra and chorale captivated the audience in a state of wonder and amaze-ment. The next student reflection was made by Kenosha Carr, a senior theatre major. Carr shared her memories of 9/11 and how her sixth-grade classmates thought the planes hitting the buildings

Remembering 9/11 in performance

Atheists, nonbelievers, agnostics, deists and anyone questioning their religion have come to together to support the University of Northern Iowa Freethinkers and Inquirers’ latest series of events, called Out Week. Out Week’s events, which includes a blood drive, a casu-al coffee meetup, dinner with UNIFI, a showing of “Shaun of the Dead,” and the fourth Annual Flying Spaghetti

Monster Dinner were con-structed for two main purpos-es. “We wanted to create a time for anyone questioning their religion on campus to come and meet some of UNIFI’s members and learn more about us. Also, we wanted to help our community and show that we can be good without God,” said Kayla Merrill, a junior major-ing in social work who came up with the idea for Out Week and was the driving force behind the program. Through an enormous

amount of time, effort and planning, Merrill’s goal was “to encourage nonbelievers to reveal their lack of belief to those around them.” UNIFI and Out Week encourage people to share their “coming out” stories – the story of the first time they came out to family or friends as a nonbeliever. Supporting fellow minority students and fostering a community of non-religious individuals is a key goal of UNIFI and Out Week. “The word ‘atheist’ has such a sour taste to so many peo-

ple,” said John Chesley, a junior majoring in geology. Chesley is the director of member-ship for UNIFI and would “like to see the stereotype against atheists fade.” “The original impetus for the Out Campaign in general stems from a public distrust of atheists and the popular notion that people can’t be good without God or religion,” said Cory Derringer, president of UNIFI and a senior major-ing in sociology. As UNIFI’s president, Derringer has been pleasantly

surprised at student reactions. His supervisory role has given him the opportunity to see how well the fellow leaders of UNIFI have stepped up to lead large scale events that show what the group is trying to express. “We’re more than a nega-tion of any religion; most of us share common humanist values such as compassion and empathy, equality and a healthy respect for science and unfet-tered inquiry,” said Derringer.

were cool until they realized that it wasn’t just a show on TV, but that it was really happening. Carr also shared the story of a friend who was in New York City on Sept. 11 and had witnessed the first plane hitting the North Tower, saying it left a shape “like a ‘Looney Tunes’ silhouette” when the char-acters would run through a wall of smoke. Next, Jan Boland, co-director of Red Cedar Chamber Music; Deborah Dakin, principal violist with the Quad City Symphony; and John Dowdall, founding member and artistic director of Red Cedar Chamber Music joined their musical talents on the flute, viola and classical guitar, respectively, to play a short piece which held the audience in complete silence. While the trio played, the screen above them showed printed words that seemed lit up as though held to a candle that eventually faded to pictures taken at Ground Zero while the World Trade Center fell. Ash covered everything; people ran down the streets with tears stream-ing down their faces; smoke bil-lowed from the iconic buildings in New York’s skyline. As the pictures faded in and out, not a soul in GBPAC moved. It was as though everything had frozen except the tears perched on the edges of eyes, ready to cascade down faces at a moment’s notice. Next Mackenzie Roth, a junior theatre major, held the spotlight to relate the story of a close friend whose father was a firefighter on Squad 18 in Manhattan. When the Towers fell, Squad 18 reported and many of them were never seen by their families again. Roth’s friend lost her dad for three days, and when he finally came home, he was forever changed from the things he had witnessed. Boland, Dakin and Dowdall took the stage again to play while a watercolor rendering of the Towers was shown on the screen. Letters danced like waves in front of the image and formed the names of all those lost in the attack. The letters in the names fell away like raindrops on a windowpane to make way for new names, and in the audience one could hear muffled whispers of “wow” and “awesome.” Lauren Galliart, a senior theatre major, and Tera Edmonds, a gradu-ate student studying communica-tion studies, came out to perform a piece about two girls who had lost family that day. One girl lost her sister who had worked at the World Trade Center, and the other lost her mother, who had an interview

in the same place. Both girls tried desperately to get a hold of their loved ones, but were unable to do so. When they dialed 911 they were told to be patient, but how could they be so when the fates of people so close to them were unknown? The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra then played their longest piece of the night. The orchestra pulsed hypnotically and the music was full of passionate swells and frantic-sounding strings. When the unified voices of all the instruments built up into an out-standing crescendo, the entire house felt pain, happiness and the fondness of old memories that had once been forgotten. The last student speaker of the night was Brett Jones, a junior theatre major. Jones had written a poem entitled “Mama” for a Georgia woman who lost her 12-year-old son on a plane heading for New York City on that September Tuesday. The poem was perhaps the most powerful piece of the evening. It sent shivers up and down the spine and caused goosebumps to pop up all over one’s arms. Silence fell in the same way as the tears as Jones made everyone feel the pain this poor woman had felt every day of her life since that sad morning. A final music piece from the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra and Metropolitan Chorale wrapped up the night. A standing ovation met all who had performed that night. Jamie Bruess and Lauren Anderson, both seniors majoring in public relations, shared their thoughts on the night. “I thought it was interesting to hear other people’s stories about that day,” said Bruess. “Even if they hadn’t been there, the secondhand stories were good, too.” “I thought it was beautiful,” Anderson said. “I was sort of sur-prised that there weren’t more pic-tures of the towers, but the imagery was interesting.” Glenn Nellist of Center Point said, “I thought it was lukewarm through the whole program. I’m not sure it hit the mark. I wanted to see the National Anthem in there. The execution was fine; I’m not sure the idea was great.” Although the program was not traditionally patriotic, many audi-ence members said they were glad to have attended. Beth McCrindle, a resident of Waterloo, was pleased with how the program went. “I think it’s wonderful when a community can come together for an event of remembrance like this,” she said. “All of the student speak-ers were great.”

UNI sweeps previously undefeated in-state rival Iowa State

The No. 15-ranked University of Northern Iowa Panther volleyball team came ready to play against the previously undefeated and No. 12-ranked Iowa State University Cyclones. The Panthers came out with something to prove after their loss to No. 6-ranked University of Minnesota this weekend. They beat the Cyclones in front of a record crowd of 6,490 fans in the first three sets 26-24, 25-16 and 25-18. “I don’t think we were prepared,” said ISU head coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “I don’t think (ISU) was ready for what came at us tonight.” Bre Payton had an attack percentage of .353 to go along with seven kills and 30 assists to her teammates. Many of these assists went to Krista DeGeest and Megan Lehman, who each had eight kills to spark the Panthers. Iowa State (9-1) got things started early by going on a 5-0 run out of the gate. The Panthers quickly rebounded with a 5-0 run of their own and eventually took the lead at 10-9. The set remained close and the Panthers found themselves down 21-20 late. A kill by DeGeest sparked a 3-0 run for UNI, but ISU retaliated to push the score to 24 apiece. However, UNI took the next two points to make the final score 26-24. The record crowd was ecstatic throughout the match, cheering for their respective teams. Many Cyclone fans made the trip to Cedar Falls to cheer on their team, but it was the home crowd who motivated the Panthers and helped will them to victory, according to Payton. “The crowd is great,” said Payton. “That many fans supporting us is awesome. Tonight, we used it in our favor.” ISU came back in the second set determined to gain an edge over the Panthers. The set was tied at 3-3 before UNI went on a 6-1 run. The Panthers never looked back. ISU pulled within three points midway through the match at 15-12, but UNI wouldn’t let them get any closer, eventually taking the set

25-16. “We just wanted to make sure we got in front of (the crowd) and had a big press,” commented DeGeest, who contributed four blocks. UNI (10-1) ended with 13 team blocks compared to ISU’s four. The Cyclones played tough around the net, but the Panthers kept pressure on ISU the whole match. The Cyclones, refusing to give up, battled UNI to a 10-10 tie in the third set. Backed by the home crowd, the Panthers went on to take a 17-10 lead. The Panthers controlled the rest of the set and notched a 25-18 victory, taking the match 3-0. UNI head coach Bobbi Petersen thanked the UNI fans who came out to support the Panthers. “They were absolutely amazing tonight. I can’t tell you enough how big of a difference that makes.” UNI achieved their first home victory over the Cyclones since 2001, and for the current UNI players, it was their first ever win against their in-state rivals. “No matter who’s the better team or not, whoever shows up that night is going to be the team that wins,” said Payton. The Panthers open up Missouri Valley Conference play on Friday as they take on Southern Illinois University in the McLeod Center. The match is set to start at 7 p.m.

PAUL’S PERSPECTIVE JAKE’S TAKE

Baseball: America’s pastime

I watch a good deal of ESPN and I own a few National Football League jerseys, so therefore I feel more than qualified to shove my predictions for the NFL season down your throats. The first controversial thing I will say is that the American Football Conference’s Eastern Division is the best division in the league. No disrespect to the National Football Conference’s Southern Division, but the lowly Carolina Panthers drag the division down a notch or two (I’m not that impressed by Cam Newton, even after his week 1 performance). My prediction (guess would be a better word) for the AFC East is that the New England Patriots will continue their reign with the New York Jets close behind as a playoff team them-selves. On an important side note, I believe the Miami Dolphins will edge out the Buffalo Bills for third place. Everybody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. The AFC North will be rep-resented by two teams in the play-offs. I believe the Baltimore Ravens will take the divi-sion title and the Pittsburgh Steelers will finish second as long as “Big Ben” avoids bad decisions. The last time the Indianapolis Colts didn’t make the playoffs was when I was in sev-enth grade and we were all amazed when the Patriots upset Kurt Warner and the “Greatest Show on Turf ” in the Super Bowl. I predict the end of that streak by picking the Houston Texans to win the AFC South this year, but if the Patriots win the Super Bowl, I will be inconsolable. It has been the San Diego Chargers’ “year” for as many years as I can remember and it has never panned out for them. I think that will change this season and I’ve got them as my AFC representative in the Super Bowl. Now that Charger’s kicker Nate Kaeding is out for the season due to injury, they may make a few clutch kicks now and again (too soon?). Moving over to the NFC, in the East, I have the Philadelphia Eagles

and the New York Giants making the playoffs, with the Eagles taking the title. I don’t buy into the “Dream Team” talk you hear about, but they should be a solid team if they can keep Michael Vick healthy. The defending NFC champion Green Bay Packers should have no trouble in taking the division crown this year. I think the Minnesota Vikings will take a step in the right direction, the Chicago Bears will take a step back and the Detroit Lions will take a leap forward. I predict the Lions finish-ing second in the division while just missing the playoffs as a result of a terrible officiating call that costs them in the last week. I’m wondering if the NFL can live with the Lions being a decent team. The NFC South is a fantastic divi-sion. It is tough for me to leave the Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of the playoffs again because I think they will be a very solid team. It wouldn’t surprise me if LeGarrette Blount

leads the league in rushing. I’m taking the New Orleans Saints first and the Atlanta Falcons second as a playoff team. The NFC West hardly deserves mention-ing, but I’ll give the nod to the St. Louis Rams. Don’t ask me for a reason, because I don’t have one. That leaves

my Super Bowl prediction for this year. I’ll take the Chargers over the Saints in perhaps one of the boldest picks I’ve ever made. For my Most Valuable Player vote this year, I’m all over the Michael Vick bandwagon. I realize that his bandwagon is speeding down the road with no brakes. It has disaster written all over it, but if he stays healthy, he has the opportunity to put up one of the best seasons of all time. Just ask Matthew Berry. Based on my history of predic-tions and my ability to make bets on sports, you should probably take this column to Las Vegas and put your student loans on the opposite, but jok-ing aside this is what I’m going with. However this season turns out, I’m just happy the NFL season has begun.

Football fans, your time has arrived! We are about to enter the third week of college football, while the National Football League opened its season last Thursday night with the Green Bay Packers vs. the New Orleans Saints. Wherever I am, all I hear is previews of the NFL season. Whether it’s sitting at home watching ESPN or sitting in class while I read articles on the Internet, I can’t get enough of football. But while fans get excited about Saturdays and Sundays, I can’t help but wonder what happened to base-ball. We’ve all been so caught up in a new football season that no one can remember who won the World Series last fall. Well, surpris-ingly to some people, baseball is still on. It’s disheart-ening to see everyone hop off the baseball train, especially during such a great season, to get on the football bandwagon. While football is just starting, people don’t seem to realize there are still so many great stories left in this baseball season. Who will win the American League East? Can Justin Verlander be the first pitcher since 1990 to reach 25 wins in a sea-son? Can the Philadelphia Phillies reach 100 wins? These stories, along with many more, fly over people’s heads. Baseball is about to reach its peak, the playoffs, while the NFL is just finishing week one. This makes me wonder what happened to baseball’s historical nick-

name of “America’s Pastime.” There’s no hiding it; baseball has a lot of great history. Dating back all the way to the 1800s, it is one of the oldest sports still around. But as the times have changed, so has people’s love for the game. Many responses to why people turn their backs to baseball is the fact that the games last so long. Yet, when you look into it, a baseball game usu-ally takes up a three-hour TV slot. It seems like a long time, but football takes up that same three-hour TV slot. Sure, the game pace can be dif-ferent, but that’s very dependent on who is playing. I can compare Carlos Zambrano’s up-tempo pitching style

to the fast-paced Saints, who like to gain dozens of yards at one time. I can also compare every slow Boston Red Sox pitcher to the hand-it-off-and-see-where-it-takes-us Buffalo Bills offense. I think it’s really disap-pointing when people can tell me who won the

Super Bowl for the past five years, but no one can tell me who won the World Series just one year ago. (It was the San Francisco Giants, for those wondering). If we don’t start to appreciate the game and all the little things it has to offer, then one day baseball will just be a lost memory in our heads. Hopefully there is still a day when the Chicago Cubs win the World Series (don’t worry, I don’t expect it to be soon), and that it makes the front page headline in every newspaper instead of a back-page article we all skip over.
