Michael A. Wartell, chan- cellor emeritus and profes- sor of chemistry at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW), has been announced as the third and final presidential candi- date to visit the University of Northern Iowa on Feb. 4 and 5. A public forum will be held at 3 p.m. on Feb. 4 in the Old Central Ballroom in Maucker Union, where attendees can go and learn more about Wartell as well as ask questions relevant to the presi- dential candidate search. Wartell serves as chair of the U.S. Army Education Advisory Committee. Previously, he served on the U.S. Army Science Board and worked on chemical warfare, decontamination and man- power. He also served as a con- sultant to government agen- cies and defense contractors and has authored/coauthored numerous textbooks, labora- tory manuals and scholarly papers. Wartell was also pro- vost and vice president for Academic Affairs at Humboldt State University in California. He received his B.S. in chem- istry from the University of New Mexico and his M.S. and Ph.D in physical chemistry from Yale University. As chancellor of IPFW, Wartell worked at the only comprehensive public univer- sity in northeastern Indiana, and worked to expand pro- grams and endowments, over- seeing construction of more than 30 buildings. He also helped increase enrollment.

He described his vision for the future of UNI and its place not only in the state of Iowa, but in the Midwest and the nation. “We face in Pennsylvania many of the same things that you face here in the state of Iowa. No money, and then no money the next year and then no money the year after,” Ruud said. “But we’re doing more with less, and some- times we think we’re doing less with less and trying to move forward.” Ruud said there are six unions on the Shippensburg campus, and they are unique because their athletic coaches are the only unionized coach- es in the United States. Along with this, Ruud said there is a large shared governance operation at Shippensburg. “(I see) the University of Northern Iowa as the logical next step to what I’m doing at Shippensburg University,” he explained. Regarding his vision for the future of UNI, Ruud said the first thing he needs to do is become more acquainted with the state of Iowa.

The search for the next president of the University of Northern Iowa contin-ued Jan. 30 in the Commons Ballroom where Dr. Avijit Ghosh, senior advisor to the president and professor of business at the University of Illinois College of Business, spoke about his desire to win the presidential bid.

qualities of the university.“The first question I was

asked by the search com-mittee was that, ‘We are the only regional compre-hensive university in the state of Iowa. How do we fix that?’ And I said, you fix that quickly by dropping ‘only’ and underlining ‘the,’” Ruud said.

He also pointed out the unique qualities UNI has to offer, including small class sizes and one-on-one time with professors and advis-ers.

“You know, I think that at the University of Northern Iowa, if you fall and skin your knee, there’s going to be someone right next to you to pick you up and spin you around a couple times, to dust you off and send you off the right direction. Because they want you to graduate, they want you to succeed,” he said.

However, Ruud also said the university needs to focus on collaborative competition with other schools, unbun-dling, demographics, tech-nology and commercializa-tion.

In regard to unbundling, Ruud said higher institu-tions need to stop focusing on b u n d l i n g c r e d i t s and deny-ing trans-fer credit hours. He felt that increasing demographics is important for UNI and that the uni-versity will need to keep up on technology to compete with institutions providing degrees at a lower price.

Quality marketing is also important for colleges, according to Ruud.

“We need to be able to tell and sell a story in high-er education, but at the same time, we need not to enter-tain or engage in crass com-mercialization,” Ruud said.

Open communication was also something he conveyed as a necessity.

“I need to be at a univer-sity where you feel comfort-able raising your hand,” he said.

After Ruud spoke for half an hour, a question and answer session commenced. The first question, from UNI professor Frank Thompson, addressed whether Ruud has ever worked with the American Association of University Professors.

Thompson added a fol-

low-up question concerning how he would work with UNI faculty to address the potential censure.

“So the easy question first?” Ruud joked. He reiter-ated that Shippensburg has six unions on campus and that he works in a unionized environment daily. Ruud also said that Shippensburg has the fewest number of grievances that go forward in Pennsylvania.

However, some griev-ances have been filed at Shippensburg, including issues regarding academic

freedom, discrimination and sabbaticals. Ruud said he worked with unions to solve the issues.

In regard to the poten-tial AAUP censure at UNI, Ruud said, “I think if there was ever a time if you want-ed to keep your mouth shut, this is not the time to keep your mouth shut, because then it is your fault.”

He emphasized the importance of “the UNI family to work together and cooperate” but also said peo-ple need to voice their issues now and not suddenly bring it back up in a few years.

Corey Cooling, a senior physics and philosophy double major, referenced the closure of numerous foreign language programs last school year and ques-tioned Ruud about his vision for foreign languages.

While Ruud mentioned the importance of languag-es like Arabic, Chinese and Spanish, he proposed collab-orating with surrounding schools and community col-leges to provide programs in foreign languages.

Other questions included the future of the Liberal Arts Core and what response Ruud would have if the gov-ernor suggested cutting the program.

Ruud referenced a time when the Pennsylvania gov-ernor wanted to cut 50 per-cent of the budget for high-er education institutions and said that schools were teach-ing too many teachers. Ruud said that at Shippensburg, they understood the long

term, and he would fight to protect the Liberal Arts Core at UNI.

However, Ruud also said, “(The) biggest mis-take we make is (to) teach Shakespeare the way it was taught years ago,” and he felt courses should be inte-grated with technology and taught in a manner that fits into today’s times.

Jordan Leckband, a senior music education major, brought up difficul-ties education students at UNI are facing, including the closure of Malcolm Price Laboratory School, an increase in the student teaching fee and the extra Praxis test, and questioned how Ruud would bring opportunity back to UNI.

Ruud responded by say-ing that he wants to pro-mote the university and reach out to UNI alumni to ask about their vision for the university. He also talked about the importance of looking out-of-state for ideas on how to run the uni-versity and that it is okay to “steal” beneficial ideas.

Cedar Falls Mayor Jon Crews was also in atten-dance at the forum and said he was impressed with Ruud. He said he would like to see success continue at UNI and hopes the future presi-dent assists with increas-ing enrollment, considering UNI’s enrollment dropped in 2012-2013.

“Obviously the univer-sity is a very important part of the community,” Crews said. “We’re concerned that (UNI) has a good image going forward, and hope-fully that will be the case.”

Crews also liked Ruud’s comment about engagement and said, “It’s good to have the university a part of the community instead of just up on the hill. Not ‘apart from’ but ‘a part of ’ the community.”

Kofi Sam, a public policy graduate student, said he enjoyed what Ruud had to say.

“He seems approachable, relatable and like he did a lot of research for this posi-tion,” Sam said. “He showed that he’s really committed to being in this seemingly hostile environment and has passion and is ready to fight for UNI.”

FEBRUARY 1, 2013 | NORTHERN-IOWAN.ORG | VOLUME 109, ISSUE 31

Every January, I witness a phenomenon I would like to call “muffin top madness” in the Wellness and Recreation Center. This event is marked by scores of New Year’s res-olution makers clogging the treadmills and ellipti-cal machines of the WRC as effectively as cholesterol clogs arteries, making it dif-ficult for the regulars to find a spot. However, by the end of February, the resolution run-ners have dwindled and the regulars excitedly reclaim their usual watering holes.This event is the result of two things: lack of commit-ment and a “fat-session,” or fat obsession. The first is easily explained by internal motivation, as running and lifting weights are not as easy as sleeping in for an extra hour. The second cause of the annual migration is external. The overwhelming desire to be thin is a cultural value that is perpetuated by media images of beautiful people who are, of course, wealthy and intelligent (or Snooki). As a general rule, less attrac-tive persons play the role of either an extremely intel-ligent outcast or a lovable and insecure dunce; it is not a coincidence that Homer

Simpson is overweight. According to Dittmar and Howard, “the media is lit-tered with images of females who fulfill … unrealistic standards, making it seem as if it is normal for women to live up to this ideal.” Tiggemann and Slater found that “body dissatisfac-tion affects almost all women at some level.” And trust me, ladies, we aren’t the only ones affected by an onslaught of media images. In a study conducted by Deborah Schooler, which focused on college men at San Francisco S t a t e

University, S c h o o l e r found that “the more media these young men ‘con-sumed’ — especially music videos and primetime tv — the worse they felt about … their bodies.” No wonder I frequently find myself clicking through Fitbie articles and checking the calories in my mac-n-cheese. Despite the desire to be thin, Americans are still fat-ter than nearly everybody

else, and getting fatter. Not counting small island coun-tries like Micronesia and Palau, the United States wins first prize in obesity with a rate of 30.6 percent (nation-master.com). Other coun-tries, such as Germany and Sweden, have obesity rates of 12.9 percent and 9.7 per-cent, respectively. All this pressure to be thin is not getting us any closer to health. That is why I am proposing a different New

Year’s Resolution: fatten up.

That ’s r i g h t :

Let’s all eat an extra pound of chocolate and scarf down five more boxes of macaroni while we are hanging out with our cats. No, I don’t actually mean eat more food; I mean stop mentally beating yourself up. Instead, fatten up on self-love. I know, I know, the term “self-love” sounds like a load of mush, but I am serious.

I don’t care if you are a University of Northern Iowa linebacker or an Orchesis dancer – giving yourself positive feedback about your body image will improve your self-esteem. This doesn’t mean walk-ing around telling everyone “I’m so awesome, I’m like Chuck Norris and Beyoncé morphed together.” Rather, highlight your strengths and shrug off your flaws. Sure, working to improve your outward appearance is admirable, but is it really an improvement if you are internalizing a belief that you aren’t good enough as you are? I don’t want to discourage January Jaunters from fight-ing the battle of the bulge, but I do want to encour-age these exercisers to think about why that bulge is there in the first place. Does the pressure to be thin lead to overeating? Do you eat from stress? Do you put yourself down when you look at numbers on the scale? Maybe the muffin top is only a side effect of the real prob-lem. Instead, tell yourself that you are smart, friendly, funny, lovely, handsome, etc. at every weight. I would rather have pudgy friends who are kind to them-selves than thin friends who focus on their flaws.

We’ve become the latest in the most recent volume of the American Epic: a vast non-fiction of polarizing issues, political conflagration and general discontent that has become a hallmark of mod-ern American culture. The evidence of disgruntled folk is everywhere. Most striking is a move that has encompassed more than the last 70 years – a split from the classic two-party system. As shown by Pew Research, since before the end of WWII, political registration as Independent has grown from 18 percent in 1939 to 38 percent in 2012, which has since surpassed Democrat and Republican percentages in 2009. That’s right, most Americans identify as Independent. Yet that’s just the tip of the new American iceberg. So many Americans, partic-ularly the younger, will say the current system is broken. You can check RealClearPolitics aggregation of the polls for what the average American thinks the country is heading. In the last two years, between 55 percent and 75 percent of Americans thought the country was going in the wrong direction. This was expressed in the severe party brinkmanship and obstruc-tionism as the fiscal cliff approached. To be fair, some degree of obstructionism is chronic. Yet to most eyes, noncooperation seems as the only tool in the toolbox used in recent years. It also leads to divisions. “Divided” doesn’t always mean “apart.” Democrats and Independents, who com-prise about 70 percent of the country, overwhelmingly say they want compromise, while the Republican voters say they don’t, according to Pew research. Outside of the average political ideological calam-ity, serious problems with

All this pressure to be

thin is not getting us any closer to

health.

our country exist that matter more than the petty squabbles that usually occur. Sure, social issues matter a lot. Freedom and liberty are the basic tenets of our coun-try, but it is important to bal-ance that with strengthening the framework that allows our country to exist in the first place, which is the economy. Similarly, the American people constantly think about it. In fact, the polls show that having a high-paying job is more important to the Millennial generation (ages 12-30) than the generation before. Overall, people are con-stantly occupied with eco-nomic issues like debt, unem-ployment and the stock mar-ket. Their congressional rep-resentatives should be too. Essentially, Americans are striving toward a better future they can see but don’t know how to do it. They feel mired mindless political games and endless irreconcilable issues. We must learn to com-promise and get along. It is a necessity, and not just in politics but also in daily life. When we don’t agree to dis-agree or compromise on issues that mean relatively nothing compared to the economy’s impact on our lives, we forget the most important issues. Every one of us has a duty to each other and to the whole. That is the only way we move forward. Otherwise, we can progress in some ways and stagnate in others. Here are just a few ways we must move forward regard-less of partisan divisions: First, we need to put peo-ple back to work fixing our nation’s physical infrastruc-ture. It’s crumbling and cor-roding as we speak. Our water supply systems are ancient models. Our power grids are inefficient and will not sus-tain over the next century. So

many jobs are outsourced but it’s hard to outsource a job that has to be done right here on American soil. Second, we need to be smart about our technology. Through the power of elec-tronics, computers and the Internet, industry, education and overall communication have skyrocketed. We need to prepare for the coming technological chang-es that will occur within the next century. The Internet is becoming the lifeblood of our current reality. Just as much as electricity has become a necessity, the Internet is quickly becoming one too. Third, we need to take care of the environment. Sustainable forestry, recycling and renewable energy aren’t just good for the environ-ment, they’re also good for business. Traditional petro-leum supplies will dwindle to nothing within the next several decades. We must advance into the renewable energy age. Finally, we must not leave our fellow human beings throughout the world behind. Putting our advancements in basic technology into univer-sal formats or Open Source/Creative Commons is one way to spread our technology with a simple Internet connection. Another way is to be smart in planning for the next cen-tury. The world population continues to grow, putting a strain on environmental resources. Advancements in resource use technology will help, but we need to be smart about it. We must think of the future in terms of the future and not just the now. If we think only of the now, the future’s lost to us, for America and for humanity. Most importantly, in the future we must get along.

Kaleidoscope Series presents Rosa Parks play to children for MLK Day In Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 1, 1955 started out as an ordi-nary day. That is, until a tired Rosa Parks refused to give her bus seat up for a white man, an offense for which she was arrested. Charged for violating segregation laws, her arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the largest social movements of the 20th century. The rest is history. “Walk On: The Rosa Parks Story,” a musical about Parks’ life from her childhood to her historic Dec. 1 decision, was presented by Mad River Theater last week as a part of the Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations. The seven actors sang and danced to gospel and blues music, relating the important events of Parks’s life to their audience of young students. Micki Stonewall, an ele-mentary teacher at South Tama County School District, said, “I think that made it more meaningful to our stu-dents to connect their prior knowledge of segregation to seeing real people being treat-ed unfairly.” Aside from the unfair treat-

ment of others, many subjects stressed in school classrooms were covered. Bullying, working hard, courage and the importance of an education were recur-ring themes in “Walk On.” The musical numbers, which incorporated these themes, had the children clap-ping, tapping, moving, sing-ing and shuffling to the music. “There is such a variety of learning styles amongst all students,” said Stonewall. “Seeing a live performance just might be that one event that connects with a learner.” Unlike a traditional class-room, the Kaledoscope Series, housed in the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center, offers children the opportunity to learn from and experience a staged play, musical, opera, dance or other performing arts medium. “I personally love seeing how excited students are when they (go) to each show and hearing what their favorite parts of the show are as they leave,” said Anna Zimney, a student educator at Gallagher-Bluedorn. Zimney, along with ushers, stagehands, teachers, chaperones, bus drivers and sponsors, works to make all Kaleidoscope shows a reality for their audience.

At $1 a seat, Kaleidoscope’s “Buck A Kid” program offers children and school districts a unique opportunity at an inexpensive rate. “As a teacher from a school with such a high poverty level, the thing I’m always blown away with is seeing students’ reactions as they experience something they have never seen before,” said Stonewall. “Many of these kids have never been to a city and have definitely never been to a play.” Along with Stonewall’s fourth-grade students, up to 1,500 additional students from districts across the state were given the opportunity to be on the other side of history, momentarily walking the steps of Parks and other African-Americans of her time. “Walk On: The Rosa Parks Story” transformed the African-American Civil Rights Movement from pic-tures and words in a textbook to a visceral, life-like reality. Parks was no longer a hero only on the printed page, but a hero in the flesh.

PHILANTHROPY

University of Northern Iowa students will show their support for more than just the men’s basketball team during the game against the Missouri State Bears on Tuesday, Feb. 5. Sporting “beat hunger” shirts, students, alumni and members of the community will be aiding the Northeast Iowa Food Bank. All of the proceeds from the shirts go to the organization. “This will be our fourth Beat Hunger. It was very much a learning experience for us during the first couple attempts because it takes so much time to get students familiar with your event, but we feel like we’ve come a long way,” said Blake Ruane, a

senior English major and the UNI Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow program coordi-nator. The event is a joint effort between UNI STAT, Connecting Alumni To Students, Panther Athletics and Service and Leadership programs. With different shirt designs each year and increased stu-dent involvement, the groups involved with the organiza-tion of the event are very pleased with the progress made since the first year. “I got involved with STAT through CATS,” said senior elementary education major and UNI STAT vice presi-dent, Nicole Wilson. “I have always been on that com-mittee and love giving out t-shirts to students and see-ing their excitement.”

UNI STAT was creat-ed in order to get students involved on campus and in the surrounding community by offering t-shirts to athletic events and discounts at more than 40 local businesses. Ruane stated that far too many students were leaving campus with little knowl-edge of the UNI Alumni Association or how it could benefit them. Because of this, STAT was created to give students a preview of what it means to be a member of the UNI Alumni Association. “I have been working at the Alumni House since I was a freshman, so I was able to get a behind-the-scenes look at how STAT worked and what it could do for me, both as a student and a future alum,” said Ruane. “I also recognized that STAT, as the largest stu-

dent organization on campus, would allow me to interact with a variety of different students, and I was eager to get involved.” Even though t-shirt sales are closed, students interested in getting involved with the event can bring canned goods to the Alumni House up until the game. There will also be barrels at each entrance to the game for donations. Anyone who brings at least 10 items to the Alumni House between now and Feb. 5 will receive a lanyard and a page of coupons. Those who bring in 15 or more items will have their choice between a Polar Bare Run t-shirt or an official Basketball Game Day t-shirt.

UNI Singers strive for vocal excellenceMUSIC GROUPS

Ask a random University of Northern Iowa student in Maucker Union to name a sing-ing group at this college and they are likely to say Men’s Glee Club. UNI Singers may not be the most well-known group at UNI, but it is a group made up of many talented singers perform-ing a wide variety of challeng-ing choral pieces. The group has about a 50-to-50 ratio of males to females, covering the four main singing parts: bass, tenor, alto and soprano. UNI Singers prides itself on its professionalism, striving to create “a professional level vocal training experience and a high standard of performing excel-lence,” according to the class syllabus. Because all vocal majors are required to be in one large group ensemble, the group draws heavily from all of UNI’s vocal majors, but it still appeals to anyone looking to sing at a high level. “I really enjoy singing, so I thought joining UNI Singers would a fun experience and it has really improved my abil-ity as a vocalist,” said Bob Spielbauer, a freshman earth science major. Adding to the appeal of UNI Singers is the group’s conduc-

tor, professor John Wiles. Wiles has a doctorate of musical arts in choral conducting from the University of Texas. Wiles has ample experience in both choral performance and being a cho-ral conductor, according to the UNI School of Music webpage, but it is his approach that sets him apart as a conductor. “I love how Dr. Wiles makes everything so fun,” said Josh Pannhoff, a freshman vocal edu-cation major. “He always relates a life story into every piece we do, allowing us to know the story and feel the emotions behind the music we are sing-ing.” “The pieces Dr. Wiles chooses are much more com-plex. There’s an emphasis on the meaning of lyrics and com-position that makes it complete-ly different from high school,” added Pannhoff. “Individual and group expec-tations are raised tenfold (from high school), but like most hard work, it’s all worth it in the end,” said Ben Owen, a sopho-more vocal music education and piano performance major. UNI Singers meets Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:30-4:20 p.m. in Jebe Hall in the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center. They spend the first two or three minutes warming up and then spend the rest of the time learning their choral pieces.

Due to the complexity of the music, UNI Singers typically only review two or three pieces per class. This semester, UNI Singers will hold two concerts. The first is the Choral Collage Concert on March 7. For this con-cert, UNI Singers will work with up-and-coming composer Dwight Bigler from Virginia Tech University. The concert will showcase his music and also debut his new choral piece. The winning piece of UNI’s Choral Composition Contest will also be showcased. The second concert is the American Voices concert on April 18. This concert will fea-ture more contemporary piec-es from American composers, including a piece featuring Walt Whitman’s poetry. For those looking to join the group, auditions will be held in the fall of 2013. The audition often requires one to sing a solo or a well-known song as well as sight-sing (meaning auditioners will be given a piece of choral sheet music and will be asked to sing the melody as one reads it) but these requirements could change at Wiles’s discretion. “If you want to join the group, go for it! However, pre-vious experience in choirs and musical literacy are a huge plus in making the group,” said Owen.

Panther women drop 63-55 road contest to BulldogsRILEY UBBENSports Writer

The University of Northern Iowa women’s basketball team wrapped up their three-game road trip Sunday as they took on the Drake University Bulldogs in Des Moines. The Panthers (8-11, 3-4 MVC) could not pull out of their shooting slump as they shot just 33 percent from the field and fell to the Bulldogs 63-55. The loss broke UNI’s streak of six straight wins against

Drake, dating back to the 2009-2010 season. Redshirt senior Jacqui Kalin scored the first seven points of the game for the Panthers and assisted senior Amber Kirschbaum on the next bucket to bring the score to a 9-9 tie. The Panthers orchestrated a 7-0 run over a span of three minutes to gain a 16-13 lead with 10:31 left in the first half. Kirschbaum pitched in with four points during the run while contributing on defense with a block. The run was capped off

by a 3-pointer from junior Jess McDowell off an assist from Kalin. The Bulldogs answered with a 7-1 run of their own to end the half. UNI was held without a field goal over the final 10:31 of the first half. Drake senior Stephanie Running scored four points dur-ing the run for the Bulldogs. Running finished with 10 points and six rebounds off the bench for Drake. The Panthers would pull within two points early in the

second half off a steal by senior Mercedees Morgan that led to a fast-break lay-up from freshman Hannah Schonhardt. However, that was as close as the Panthers would get the rest of the way. Drake extended their lead to as much as 13 points with just over five minutes remaining in regulation. Kalin rebounded from her season-low outing against Creighton University, finishing with 22 points and a career-high 11 rebounds. Kirschbaum tied her season-

high as she connected on five field goals for a total of 10 points. The Bulldogs were led by junior Morgan Reid’s double-double. She finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds and was a key factor as Drake out-rebounded UNI 50-35. The Panthers return to Cedar Falls for a two-game home stand to take on Southern Illinois University on Thursday and the University of Evansville on Sunday.

Kalin receives national Jewish scholar-athlete award

ALAN FREEDMANUNI Athletics Communications

Jacqui Kalin, a senior basketball player at the University of Northern Iowa, has been selected as the 2013 Marty Glickman Outstanding Female Jewish Scholar Athlete of the Year by the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame & Museum Committee. Kalin will accept the award on April 21, 2013 at the national Jewish Sports Hall of Fame & Museum I n d u c t i o n Ceremonies in Commack, N.Y. Kalin, who redshirted the 2011-2012 season, was named the Jackie Stiles Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year during the 2010-2011 season. She also made first-team All-Missouri Valley Conference and second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America. Kalin led UNI with 15.3 points per game and 3.1 assists per game. “Jacqui Kalin is an outstanding example of a scholar-athlete,” Hall of Fame Chairman Lynne A. Kramer said, “and we are so glad she will be joining the Hall of Fame Class of 2013.” Other National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame & Museum inductees for 2013 are: Aly Raisman, Olympic gymnast; Garrett Weber-Gale, Olympic swimmer; and Andrew D. Bernstein, senior NBA photogra-pher. The April 21 Induction Ceremonies begin at 10:30 a.m. and are open to the public. Admission is $10 per person and children and seniors are free.

No. 21 UNI falls to No. 7 Missouri at home, 27-9 After moving into the top 25 last week by beating the No. 13-ranked University of Oklahoma Sooners and the No. 21-ranked Northwestern University Wildcats, the University of Northern Iowa wrestling team failed to keep their hot streak going and dropped a 27-9 deci-sion to the No. 7-ranked University of Missouri Tigers. The Panthers gave up riding time in seven matches on Sunday as the Tigers beat UNI in a matchup between two new Mid-American Conference foes. “You give up riding time in seven weights and it is going to be tough to win. I don’t care who you wrestle,” UNI head coach Doug Schwab said after the meet. After the first two matches, the Panthers dug themselves a hole. It looked as though they might turn it around at 141 pounds when UNI’s Joey Lazor caught Trevor Jauch out of position and recorded a pin in 3:45. But UNI could not build on the vic-tory, losing four consecutive matches and sealing the win for Missouri. Missouri won eight of 10 match-es, getting major decisions from Nathan McCormick at 133 pounds, Drake Houdashelt at 149 pounds and Brent Hayes at 197 pounds. UNI’s David Bonin (157 pounds) and Cody Caldwell (174 pounds) also lost to Kyle Bradley and Todd Porter, respective-ly, reversing their wins they had against the duo at the Las Vegas Cliff Keen Invite. Bonin attempted a reversal with 10 seconds to go in the match, but the official felt he had not broken Bradley’s grip as time expired. At 285 pounds, UNI’s Blayne Beale wrestled against the No.1-ranked wrestler in the nation in the heavyweight class, Dom Bradley. Beale competed well but ended up falling, 4-1. The other bright spot for the Panthers on Sunday was junior Ryan Loder. Loder, wrestling at 197 pounds, beat Mike

Larson 3-0 in a battle of top-10 ranked wrestlers, avenging a 3-2 semifinal loss at the Las Vegas Invitational. “We can get this turned around. These are the guys we will face at the national level, so we will look to get ready for this kind of competition in the weeks ahead,”

said Schwab. The Panthers will continue competi-tion as they travel to South Dakota State University on Friday and North Dakota State University on Sunday.

pathway to mediocre, and that is a future for pub-lic universities we cannot afford to have.”

Ghosh continued by describing the three main tenets of his presidency, should he be selected. Vision was the first of these three.

“This is a time for big ideas, not for cutting our-selves short,” Ghosh said as he discussed the need for what he called “high aspira-tion goals.” Resources and leadership were his other primary points. He stressed the importance of having enough resources to trans-form big ideas into reality, and set forth an objective to promote leadership in managing the university’s relationship with state and regional governments.

“We need leadership from the state and the region that will think about public edu-cation as an investment, not an expense,” Ghosh said.

In addition to govern-mental leadership, Ghosh called for leadership from corporations to assist the university. He also pressed upon the need to engage with alumni through ave-nues aside from fundraising.

“Getting an education from a university is like buy-ing a stock that you can

never sell for life,” Ghosh said. “Alumni have a deep self-interest and we need to engage them.”

He also talked about the need for students, fac-ulty and administration to come together as a com-munity, and he called for leadership at all levels.

However, Ghosh said that ulti-m a t e l y , “Leadership has to start with the president.”

He also promised trans-parency in his work with fac-ulty and students if selected as the next president.

Ghosh summed up his the discussion with his take on how to achieve the visions he laid out.

“You have to focus on recruiting the best stu-dents,” Ghosh said. “You also have to focus on recruit-ing the best faculty.” Ghosh said one of his goals is bringing UNI the necessary infrastructure to attract and retain the best students and faculty.

As evidence of his abil-ity to do this, he described a campus-wide entrepreneur-ial center that he worked to create at Illinois. The facil-ity, designed originally for business students, serves all

majors at the university to empower students who wish to start businesses once they complete their coursework at Illinois.

Ghosh also spoke about his competency to manage UNI’s budget. He refer-enced his management of New York University’s $110 million budget, his sole con-trol of the Illinois business program’s $50 million bud-get and his responsibility for assisting in the management of Illinois’s $5.4 billion bud-get.

After the presentation, a question and answer forum commenced. The first ques-tion Ghosh received from the audience dealt with the potential censure rul-ing from the American Association of University Professors. A censure from the union would label UNI as out of compliance with commonly accepted aca-demic freedom and tenure practices.

Ghosh stated that he had only worked with a local chapter of the AAUP and did not have experience with the organization on a national level.

Joe Gorton, associ-ate professor of sociology, anthropology and crimi-nology, questioned Ghosh about a scholarship pro-gram for veterans at Illinois that ended in 2006, even

though Ghosh did not head the scholarship program.

Gorton said, “Since the program took place in the business college, do you accept or feel any respon-sibility for this, really what I think was a debacle? I’m not asking if it’s your fault, but I’m asking if you look back on it if you accept any responsibility for how this unfolded.”

Ghosh said, “I take great pride in the scholarship pro-gram that was offered.”

He continued, explaining that the situation unfolded due to “rules not being fol-lowed” regarding the appli-cation process for the pro-gram. He said the deci-sion was made to honor every scholarship and make changes in program leader-ship.

“Under the same circum-stances, I would make the same decisions,” Ghosh said.

After the presentation, students had differing views about Ghosh.

“He was very interesting. It was really nice to listen to what he had to say,” said Hallie Berg, a sophomore global studies major. “He’s got some really big ideas that are good for the uni-versity, especially now, with everything that’s going on, we could really use the fresh and new ideas.”

Corey Cooling, a junior

physics and philosophy major, did not share the same viewpoint.

Earlier, he asked Ghosh about budget cuts that resulted in the loss of sev-eral majors at UNI, particu-lary in foreign languages.

“I didn’t think he answered my question very well,” Cooling said. “If I could draw any contrast between (William Ruud and Avijit Ghosh), I would say that there’s obvious char-ismatic differences between the two and there was a marked difference in the substance of both of their talks, both in the presen-tations that they had and in the way they answered questions.”

Northern Iowa Student Government President Jordan Bancroft-Smithe said that while he could not com-ment on candidate Ghosh directly, he felt that the search has been successful so far.

“Overall, the process has been going very smoothly and very well, and I feel like the search committee picked very good candidates, and I’m looking forward to the third candidate coming next week as well,” Bancroft-Smithe said.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Another heartbreaker: Panthers fall to Purple Aces in overtime

For the second time in as many games, the University of Northern Iowa men’s basketball team had a chance to win a game in the closing seconds of regulation and failed to do so. UNI held a 47-41 lead over the University of Evansville Purple Aces with just over one minute left in regulation, but fell 54-51 in overtime on Tuesday night in Indiana. Evansville’s Colt Ryan and Ned Cox hit 3-pointers in the final minute to tie the game and force overtime.

Cox hit his 3-pointer with 30 seconds remaining, but UNI failed to even get a shot off in the final 29 sec-onds of regulation. UNI was 0-for-4 from behind the 3-point line in overtime – scoring just four points in the final five min-utes of action. UNI senior guard Anthony James had a chance to send the game into a sec-ond overtime, but his final shot was off the mark. The Panthers started slow out of the gate, shoot-ing just 9-for-24 in the first half and 1-for-9 from beyond the arc. After trailing 23-19 at

the break, the Panthers ral-lied in the first five minutes of the second half to take a 37-30 lead. Seven points was the largest UNI could stretch their lead, as they held a 44-37 lead with just under three minutes to play. UNI committed 17 turn-overs while recording only 16 assists and shooting just 26 percent from the 3-point line for the game. The Panthers were also limited to just two free throws for the game, while Evansville went to the char-ity stripe on 12 occasions. Marc Sonnen was the only Panther to reach dou-

ble-digits in scoring with 11 points. Seth Tuttle and Deon Mitchell added in nine points each, and Jake Koch finished the game with eight points. Evansville was led by Ryan, who finished the game with 23 points and nine assists. Ryan also grabbed eight rebounds and record-ed two steals. Cox and Troy Taylor each finished the game with nine points. With the loss, UNI sits at .500 with an 11-11 record, and is now 4-6 in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Panthers are three games back of third-place

Indiana State University and four games back of first-place Wichita State University. UNI has just eight con-ference games remaining on their schedule before head-ing to St. Louis, Mo., for the MVC Tournament, which begins on March 7. UNI returns to action on Saturday as they try to avenge a 25-point road loss to No. 15-ranked Wichita State. Panther fans are encour-aged to wear white in an attempt to “white out Wichita.” Tip-off is set for 3 p.m. and the game will be televised on ESPN 2.
