The calendar has only been turned to the second page, but some may have already given up on their New Year’s resolutions. However, the UNI Health Science Club continues to promote health and well-being among the UNI community by using social media.
Last semester, members of the organization dedi-cated their time to volun-teering, specifically for blood drives said Lainie Wilhau, senior women’s health and family services major and co-president of UNI Health Science Club. Members recently decided to take the group in a different direc-tion.
The UNI Health Science Club have begun their semes-ter-long campaign entitled “Healthy Selfie.” UNI stu-dents are encouraged to post photos via social media expressing their own ver-sion of what it means to live a healthy lifestyle.
“We’re not just promoting diet and exercise, but total well-being,” Wilhau said.
These photographs are to feature the students holding a paper sign that describes how they are healthy, said Wilhau. Each sign should begin with the words, “I am healthy because…” and end with an original statement.
UNI Health Science Club would also like students to focus on their total well-being. This could include topics such as one’s social or sexual health.
“Be creative, that’s what we’re going for,” Wilhau said.

Panther women meet defeat in Friday’s game against Drake, 87-67
The Northern Iowan Student Government cam-paign for President and Vice President has begun. Monday, Feb. 9 marked the first week of campaigning for the only two tickets running for office, Katie Evans/Renae Beard and Jared Heitz/Tanner Barnhard.
Next in line is the debate, which is Tuesday, Feb. 17 from 6-8 p.m. in the main area of Maucker Union. The debate
is not only for the President and VP candidates, but also for students running for Senate seats of their respective col-leges.
Nathan Davis, junior psy-chology major, Chief Justice of NISG and Election Commissioner for the upcom-ing elections, said that for the Presidential and Vice Presidential bids it’s quite easy to find information about the candidates and their plat-forms. They both have their own websites, which are
“extremely informative.” They also use social media, such as Facebook and Twitter.
“It’s very easy to find them just by looking up their names or jumping on the NISG web-site, so I would say go up to the websites that they’ve made,” said Davis. “For the senators it’s a little trickier. Once the names get up there, I say do your own investigat-ing and try to reach out to the senators within your college.”

Davis suggests students attend Tuesday’s debate, which will feature senators from each college, to learn more information about the candidates. After the segment on senators, the two platforms for president and vice president will debate. Davis also honed in on why students should vote to begin with.
“The student leadership in NISG is one of the strongest student leader organizations. That’s something where the leadership really makes an impact on our campus so voting decides who is making some of the largest student contributions on our campus,” Davis said.
For those who wish to run in the election, but have missed the deadline for turning in applications, it’s still possible to run. According to the NISG page on the UNI website, students may run a write-in campaign. However, all write-in candidates need their name to appear on at least 5 ballots to be eligible for a senate seat.
Voting for NISG President and VP and Senate will begin Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 7 a.m. on MyUNIverse and polls close Wednesday, Feb. 25 at 7 p.m.
“NISG is a great organization. It has a strong precedent of doing lots of great things for this campus. The organization is excellent. I think students really learn a lot by being involved with it.”
Before uploading the photo, students s h o u l d i n c l u d e #UNIHEALTHYSELFIE in the caption. That way, they can enter a drawing for the chance to win a prize.
Wilhau stated that the drawings will occur bi-weekly at the start of the project. If a large amount of students choose to participate, the drawings will then occur on a weekly basis.
Rachel Kuhn, senior women’s health major and the other co-president of UNI Health Science Club, said the overall hope for this project is for the students to learn there are multiple ways to be healthy. She also said that this was a perfect way to inform students that being healthy can be fun.

On Feb. 3, the UNI chap-ter of the Association of Technology Management and Applied Engineering visited East High School in Waterloo to share their pas-sion of robotics with tech-nology-loving students and surrounding the community. Matt Mullesch, senior electri-cal engineering and technolo-gy major and president of the chapter said that the group had two goals in mind when they arrived at East High.
“One of [the goals] was to promote UNI, specifically the department of technol-ogy and the electronic engi-neering program…but also to just collaborate, show them [the students] what we’ve done,” Mullesch said.
Once UNI’s ATMAE group arrived at East High and introduced themselves to the students, they allowed the robotics class, taught by UNI alumnus Vaughn Gross, to introduce themselves and talk about their future goals in robotics. Mullesch and his group then presented their own competition-worthy
robot, which performs four functions including kicking a field goal, completing a 20-yard dash, lifting 10 lbs., and picking up golf balls in a marathon-like course.
The students of East High then presented their own mechanical wonders they had created.
“We let them demonstrate that to us, and let them talk about some of the hurdles that they’ve overcome, and some of their problem-solv-ing techniques,” Mullesch said.
UNI’s chapter of ATMAE hopes to attend more chal-lenging robot competitions in the future, and because of this, the group is actively recruiting members of all majors with a passion for technology.
ATMAE’s involvement at East High School provided the students a glimpse at the bright future of robotics and engineering technology
“It was really nice to see how excited these kids were, and how confident some of them were about what they wanted to do. A lot of them said ‘I want to do robotics,’” said Mullesch.

A word from the elections blogNISG debate this Tuesday, Senate candidates
The first week of cam-paign season has ended, and now I’ve been handed the list of Senate candidates who will be on the ballot for the NISG Elections on Feb. 24 and 25 on MyUNIverse. Justice/Commish Davis has provid-ed me with the applications and essays for each candidate, which I will throw up online when I review the candidates.
If you didn’t make it on the ballot, be it for Senate (or President), remember you can still run a write-in campaign! As there are more seats avail-able than there are candidates for some colleges, write-in candidates will win seats in Senate, provided they get at least 5 votes.
Also, there’s been quite a bit of buzz, both negative and positive, in response to the guest blog post by sitting VP Paul Andersen and former VP Blake Findley. I understand that the post was quite nega-
tive in many respects, and doesn’t contribute to a posi-tive atmosphere surrounding student government.
In particular, some feel that it was wrong to air these con-cerns publicly without bring-ing them up to the candidates in private to address on their own.
To remedy this, I’ve invited both campaigns to respond to the comments in the post, which I will publish on the blog ASAP. I feel it’s impor-
tant to have frank discus-sion out in the open, and it would not be fair to bar the candidates a proper forum to respond.
Moreover, I want to make a broader comment about con-tributions to the blog. As I see it, this blog is useful only when the candidates and vot-ers engage with it. By all means, I am happy to pub-lish guest posts from anyone at UNI who has something to say. I can’t be everywhere
and I don’t see everything, I’m at the mercy of my lone perspective. If you’ve got an opinion, there’s space on this blog for you.
Before I set this aside for now, I’ll re-print comments made by Senator Aaron Friel who shared his concerns via social media and through his campaign page, For Real Senate. It’s my understanding that Friel has formed a coali-tion of Senate candidates to advance a common platform.
“A word from Friel: Is this the ramblings of a has-been and soon-to-be lame duck, or #StudentsHurtingStudents?
A fuller response to this article is pending, but let it be known: For Real Senate stands for supporting and pushing NISG to be better, not tearing down candidates and misconstruing their plat-forms. At least in this author’s eyes, this blog post was irre-sponsible and posting it as is without consulting Jared &
Tanner for UNI or Katie and Renae for UNI seems to be out of a desire to sling mud and tarnish NISG’s reputa-tion.
Why do that when you’re the face of NISG, Kevin and Paul: Students for Students, Tom and Blake for UNI Students?
Let’s build something bet-ter on a platform of giving support and constructive crit-icism, not out of a desire to give snark and witticism.
Aaron Friel,For Real Senate”I think that Friel has a
point, and I’m excited to inter-view him and review his plat-form. It is essential to NISG to have engaged Senators, and Friel is a prime example.
Now to the Senate Candidates:

College of Humanities, Arts, and Sciences (6 seats):

Deciding( 1 seat):Sarah Hofmeyer
Meanwhile, everybody should start getting excited about the NISG Debate to be held in the main area of the Union Tuesday, Feb. 17 from 6-8p.m. Commish Davis told me that the first 40 min-utes are for the Senate can-didates, with the remainder of the time going for the Presidential Tickets. I expect the candidates to push atten-dance for a good showing at the debate.
Tuesday’s election debate is open to the public and are encouraged to attend.

Dear clothing compa-nies, corporations, creators, designers, and producers:
For the past decade, I have been an active consumer of your merchandise and as an avid consumer of your prod-ucts, I think some chang-es need to occur. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved what you’ve done in the past cen-turies with zippers and but-tons (I’ll overlook the ques-tionable trends in the 70’s and 80’s), but since it is the 21st century, you really need to update a few things.
1. This is 2015. Why are you still putting itchy, uncomfortable tags in clothes? Yes, they’re good for sizing (but every store puts their own size tags on anyway), and yes, it’s help-ful sometimes to know how the item should be washed, but as someone who hates doing laundry, who shoves
two loads worth of clothes into one, I definitely don’t bother checking the tags. So please, save some thread.
2. The last time I went into a store that sold men’s and women’s clothing, I noticed there was an over-abundance of pockets in men’s clothing and little to none in the women’s. What’s up with that? I would like functional pockets in every dress, skirt, sweater, cardi-gan, and hoodie, as well as in every expected piece of clothing, please. You know, like jeans and pants. Don’t you dare use fake pockets. And don’t make pockets that are only useful to hold chap-stick. Or half my phone. Or three of my fingers. I know you’re probably only doing this so we spend money on more accessories like bags and purses, but for once in my life I’d like to go out without a bag or carrying my wallet around in my hand, where I will inevita-bly set it down someplace and then spend half an hour frantically running around Target looking for it.
3. Would it be too much to ask for if all clothing came in measurements instead of this strange system where one size is different for every brand and style? I guarantee that if I knew the specific measurements of a shirt or pair of jeans, I would be more likely to buy them if I knew they would fit, espe-
cially if I didn’t have time to try them on in the store. Especially for online shop-ping, measurements really need to be included with the item description.
4. I am really tired of you not using the same qual-ity of fabric in the men’s and women’s departments. I do not appreciate translu-
cent t-shirts that rip after three washes. Or cardigans that have holes in the arm-pits after one season. Or sweatshirts that are so thin you have to wear another sweatshirt to keep warm. I realize I don’t have to buy thin t-shirts if I don’t want to, or cardigans if I think they look too cheap, but if I only have to switch from one gendered department of a store to another, there’s a problem.
5. And while we’re on the subject of gender, can you just not gender clothing? Why does this plain black t-shirt have to be a men’s t-shirt? Or this gray car-digan? Or button-up shirt? Why do dresses and skirts have to be constantly gen-dered as “women’s cloth-ing”? There are some issues regarding the different body types of women and men, but why don’t you catego-rize clothing by body shapes instead of size or gender?
And finally:6. There is no such thing
as “one size fits all” (looking at you, hat designers).
Itchy tags, fake pockets and gendered clothingMONICA [email protected]
THINKSTOCKIt’s 2015. Clothing companies, designers, etc. need to up the quality of their tags, or just get rid of them altogether.
I feel it’s important to have frank discussion out in the open, and it would not be fair to bar the
candidates a proper forum to respond.

Most people think hearts and cupids when they think of Valentine’s Day. But a select few think of rooks and pawns.
The Fool’s Mate Chess Tournament unfolded in Rod Library, hosted by the UNI Chess Club. Certain tables were reserved and set up for matches in the non-elimination tourna-ment.
Anthony Spoerl, senior computer science major, said he and the current club president had “been talking about ways to get more people coming to the chess club and just be actually active on campus and this seemed like the most obvious way to do that.”
Spoerl said the club chose Valentine’s day since it would be memorable and the event could potentially become an annual event
for their club.Juan Marin, junior exer-
cise science major, came for the challenge.
“It’s kind of like a chal-lenge. You challenge your-self to think beyond your limits. It’s a workout for the brain; you feel more energetic,” Marin said.
Marin wasn’t the only one who had spotted the flyers in and around Maucker Union.

ERIN KEISER/Northern IowanStep Afrika! performs a dance in the Lang Hall Auditorium. Step Afrika! is a dance company that focuses on the art of stepping while using various dance styles.
Dance company steps into actionAs the lights dimmed
and the audience qui-eted, seven performers dressed in red and black stepped onto the stage, humming and snapping a quiet rhythm that set the scene for the performance to come. Step Afrika!, the first professional company in the world committed to the art of stepping, came to the University of Norther n Iowa Wednesday.
Meredith Baumann, sophomore communica-tions major, said this opportunity was set up by the Campus Activities Board.
According to the per-formers, stepping is a self proclaimed highly ener-getic, rhythmic dance form created in the early 1900’s by African Americans. Based out of Washington D.C., Step Afrika! gathers graduates from around the country who are interested in this cultural art. Among the dances performed,
some traditional African dances were featured such as the Gum Boot Dance, which combines sound, rhythm and gum boots.
Step Afrika!’s move-
ments thrilled the audi-ence with dazzling displays of rhythm and acrobat-ics. Attendees were called upon to clap out rhythms, shout rhymes and cheer for
their favorite dances and teams of entertainers. The most striking twist came when performers actual-ly went into the audience searching for volunteers,
some more willing than others, to take the stage with them and learn the art of stepping.
Two such students were Jamal White, fresh-man marketing manage-ment major and Lameika McCray-Fenton, junior criminology major. As the audience was transport-ed to the nation of Zulu through costumes, music and dance for the show, these two students were crowned king and queen on-stage, and asked to repeat the complex move-ments required for step-ping.
“I had looked up the show earlier so I was kind of expecting something like this,” McCray-Fenton said of the experience.
“It definitely wasn’t what I was expecting,” White, who was in atten-dance at McCray-Fenton’s recommendation, said.
Surprises aside, both McCray-Fenton and White agreed that their experi-ence at Step Afrika! wasn’t something they were likely to forget soon.

M u c h i Dzikamunhenga, senior computer science major, saw the flyers and was encouraged by one of his professors to attend.
“Well, despite the fact that I always win. I don’t know it’s like thinking skills or something,” Dzikamunhenga said.
With his eyes on the grand prize- an ice chess set and $20 gift card to Limited Edition Comics- Dzikamunhenga would consider participating again.
“If there’s a prize I will definitely do this again,” Dzikamunhenga said.
The proceeds raised by the event will be going towards the Waterloo Boys and Girls Club.
The UNI Chess Club goes to the Waterloo Boys and Girls Club to teach chess once a week. Currently, the Boys and Girls Club in Waterloo has no chess sets.
“. . .we’re hoping to go buy a few chess sets with the proceeds and give them to them,” Spoerl said.
Spoerl hoped that the participants would think the event was interest-ing and pursue the game more and possibly other tournaments.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALLPanthers unlucky on Friday the 13th, fall to Drake 87- 67
Friday the 13th spelled doom for the University of Northern Iowa wom-en’s basketball team, as they were trounced by rival Drake 87-67 at the Knapp Center in Des Moines. This was the sec-ond meeting this season for these two teams, with Drake winning the last one as well at the McLeod Center.
In the first half, UNI kept it close, usually hav-ing an answer for the hometown Bulldogs, but they were still playing from behind. They went into the locker room down just 36-33 at halftime. However, Drake began to heat up in the second half.
Drake came out with a run to push their lead
to double digits, but UNI was able to answer and cut the lead back down. After a few more runs, Drake pushed the lead back to double digits and they didn’t look back from there.
UNI had three players scoring in double figures. Freshman Ellie Herzberg had another solid perfor-mance, leading the team with 17 points and a season high 8 rebounds. Herzberg was joined by Madison Weekly and Stephanie Davison with 15 points apiece.
UNI now falls to 12-11 overall and 8-4 in the Missouri Valley Conference. They will look to bounce back Friday, Feb. 20 at home versus Indiana State. The game will tip-off at 7 p.m. UNI won the last meeting 57-55 in Indiana.
MIKE DUNLOP/NORTHERN IOWANElle Herzberg (10) lead the team with 17 points and 8 rebounds, the most rebounds by her in a game this season. Herzberg, Weekly, and Davison all scored at least 15 points each.

SOFTBALL
With five games in a three-day span this past weekend, UNI came out of the Hilton Plaza Invitational with a 2-3 record in Houston.
It was a rough start Friday for the Panthers as they fell to DePaul 11-1, then Houston 5-2. In both matchups, UNI showed strength in the batter’s box, scoring the first points and having leads at different times during both games. Due to fielding errors and oppos-ing homeruns they were unable to sustain their lead for long.
On Saturday, the Panthers bounced back defensively and pitched a shutout against Stephen F. Austin for a deserv-ing win. With bases load-ed in the bottom of the third inning and runners in scoring position in the fifth inning, UNI was able to stop both attacks to keep them scoreless. Pitcher Chelsea Ross earned her first shutout of the season allowing six hits while striking out five
batters. The next game against
McNeese State was close down the stretch with each team trading home runs. However the Cowgirls got hot in the sixth and sev-enth innings, driving in two runs to win the game 4-1.
In the last matchup of the weekend, UNI ended on a strong note against the University of Massachusetts Sunday morning, winning 5-3. In the top of the fifth, out-fielder Kristin Lock added
her second home run of the weekend to extend the lead 5-0. UMass tried to answer quickly with back-to-back home runs to cut the lead within two. Ross was able to silence their momentum however, striking out three batters in the final two innings for the win. The Panthers next set of games will be next weekend as they travel to the University of Memphis’ tournament. Their f irst opponent will be Nicholls State on Friday at 4:30 pm.
Roller coaster weekend has UNI The University of Northern
Iowa’s Track and Field team was off to Ames, Iowa this past weekend to compete in the Iowa State Classic. This was UNI’s second road trip to Ames, after competing in the Big Four Duals. Both meets in Ames proved to be key as many personal-bests and school records were set again by the Panthers.
Alex Wilson obtained her third school record of the indoor season. She is ranked number one in the Missouri Valley Conference in the 3,000-meter run. Kelsey Kirchoff and Callie Matthews both captured personal bests in the 3,000-meter race.
In the woman’s 800-meter race, Brette Corry ran a career-best time of 2:11:35, and Holly Salzbrenner won her heat with a PR as well.
Brandon Carnes won the 60-meter dash for the fifth time this year.
Braydee Poore and Shawn Koch had tremendous jumps in the field events. Kassidy Sharp performed well, snatch-ing a PR and a fifth place fin-ish in the high jump.
The Panthers had three athletes qualify for the finals in the men’s 60-meter hurdles, the most of any schools at the meet.
This meet hosted outstand-ing teams, as UNI competed against numerous Big 10, Big 12, and ACC schools. The Panthers were tested, but the team continued to improve and compete.
UNI is in full swing to compete at a high level in the conference meet, as well as setting up individuals to qualify for Indoor Nationals.
The Panthers are back in Cedar Falls this Friday for the UNI-Dome Open.
