Anti-abortion activist Jill Stanek came to campus Wednesday to talk about her experience with abor-tion as a nurse at Christ Hospital in Chicago. Hosted by UNI Right to Life, the event brought students and community members to Maucker Union.
“I knew she would bring a unique perspective,” said Linnea Casey, president of UNI Right to Life.
Stanek spoke about her experience as a nurse and informed the audience of the different types of abor-tion, such as late-term abor-tion.
After coming across a late-term abortion – also known as an induced labor abortion – while working as a nurse, she set her sights on ousting what she saw as villainy.
There were comfort rooms in Christ Hospital that allowed a baby to be born and held until the moment it died, and this did not sit well with Stanek. She said she does recog-nize the need for the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which gives infants who are born alive after an attempt-
ed late-term abortion legal protection.
Stanek also spoke about the emotional impact photographs can have on people when discussing controversial issues. And although she never showed graphic pictures of abort-ed fetuses, her stories and information were enough to make an impression on Russ Vandaele, who came from Hudson to see her speak.
“I was a little upset with the idea of comfort rooms,” Vandaele said. But he did say “her message was good” and “I was glad to keep myself informed.”

Recently, the University of Northern Iowa brought the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning pro-gram to campus, which focuses on new teaching techniques and improving the way stu-
dents learn in the classroom. “The CETL offers faculty
and staff opportunities to reflect on classroom practice, to explore new skills and strat-egies for effective teaching and to enrich the conversa-tion about teaching on cam-pus,” said Susan Hill, CETL director.
The CETL has workshops, forums and even smaller pro-grams that will look at the dif-ferent methods that have been proven to enhance the way stu-dents are educated, according to Craig VanSandt, David W. Wilson chair in business ethics.
The largest efficiency report ever performed at the three Iowa regent universities is under way and is scheduled to be complete by the end of the
year. The Iowa Board of Regents
is conducting a $2.5 million spending review with Deloitte Consulting in an effort to find inefficiencies and areas of over-spending. The board hopes to recoup 10-15 times the cost
of the review, totaling $15-$25 million in savings.
The operating budget for the three state universities is $1.5 billion, and the poten-tial savings totals 1-1.5 per-cent.
“One percent more effi-
cient is probably a good thing,” said Joe Gorton, president of United Faculty, the faculty union at UNI.
The last review, conduct-ed in 1989, cost $1.2 million and had no effect on the universities after it was fin-
ished. The current review will be broader in scope.
However, Gorton is con-cerned they may be looking in the wrong places for inef-ficiencies.

Instead of going to popu-lar destinations like Panama City Beach or South Padre for spring break, some UNI students have decided to spend their time paying it forward.
The Students Today Leaders Forever organization on campus is making its way to six different cities across the U.S. to volunteer for ser-vice projects. The trip, which lasts nine days, is known as the Pay It Forward Tour.
“It’s not just a volunteer trip,” said Seth Kaefring, junior criminology major. “It helps our participants see the world in a different way and figure out more about them-selves as well.”
He also said it is good for learning leadership skills in a low-pressure environment.
This is the second year the STLF group will par-ticipate in the Pay It Forward Tour. Last year, participants worked with abused children.
“It was a very impactful
experience because there were these abused kids who came from abused families,” Kaefring said. “When they got there we gave each kid a blanket that symbolized that they had come to a safe envi-ronment and they could take the blankets with them.”
The STLF organization was founded in 2003 and now has 35 chapters at universi-ties throughout the nation.
The UNI chapter was founded in 2012 by Kaefring and Melissa Herak, senior general studies major.
“I went on a high school tour and I loved it so much that I wanted to bring this to UNI,” Kaefring said. “I con-tacted the people who sort of run this program and they helped me and another per-son here start it.”
About 25 UNI students are partnering up with 20 students from Iowa State University for the tour.
“This opportunity is need-ed for those students who are looking to do something more and affect people along the way by giving back,” said
Herak.Kaefring said he hopes the
tour will inspire students to continue giving back in the future, after the trip is over. He also said he is looking forward to the connections that will be made on the tour.
“For me, it’s about meet-ing new people and seeing what they have gone through in their lives,” Kaefring said. “You learn a lot about the participants because you get really close.”
The tour costs $450, and for more information stu-dents can go to YouTube and search University of Northern Iowa Students Today Leaders Forever.

VanSandt part ic i-pates in the Small Group Instructional Diagnosis program under the CETL.
“(It) offers faculty the ability to have an impartial person speak with students in a particular course, gath-er feedback from them about what they like most about the class, what they like least, how they think the instructor could improve his or her performance, and per-haps most importantly, what the students themselves can do to improve their learning experience,” VanSandt said.
This isn’t the first time UNI has seen a CETL pro-gram on its campus. In 2002 the CETL program closed its doors due to budget cuts. Since then there have been a number of people trying
to bring it back. Provost Gloria Gibson recently pro-vided the funding to reopen the center, according to Hill.
Faculty members aren’t required to go to any ses-sions, but there is a calendar of events for anyone who is interested in the program, including students, accord-ing to Hill. Feedback from students is welcome.
“My goal is to use that expertise to offer work-shops and presentations on topics of interest to those who teach our students,”
Hill said. “We can learn from each other, and from research on teaching, about what works in the class-room.”
The program will rely on faculty participation as well as outside contributions.
“At the fall faculty work-shop, which occurs every fall semester before school starts, we bring in an expert from off campus to share their research and perspec-tives on effective teaching,” Hill said.
VanSandt said he hopes the center, which can be found in Room 378 of Rod Library, will help students as much as professors.
“The ultimate purpose of UNI and any university is not for teachers to teach, but for students to learn. Those two ideas actually can be quite different,” VanSandt said.

“University administration now a days are suffering from bureaucratic bloat and bureaucratic fat,” Gorton said. “We would probably improve the functionality of universities by cutting the assistant to the associate vice president for administrative affairs.”
He said this position creates a lot of busy work but does not add much value to the universities.
If budget inefficiencies are found, the potential excess
funds should be reinvested in the university so programs will not get cut, according to Regents President Bruce Rastetter.
Regents Executive Director Robert Donley also said more online classes are a possibility.
“One hope is that the new review will spark growth in online classes, which have been slow to gain traction at research universities nationwide,” Donley said.
Additional sources at the BOR were contacted but had no comment.
Deloitte Consulting is no stranger to helping universities
with efficiency studies. It recently assisted the University of Michigan and Syracuse University. However, despite the company’s experience, Gorton has some reservations about the review’s expected completion date.
“That’s a very narrow time frame,” Gorton said. “I just don’t see how you facilitate acquiring, gathering or collecting a meaningful amount of input from the faculty.”
Despite his misgivings, Gorton said finding inefficiencies at a large organization is a give in, and “that’s a good thing.”

I’m concerned about you. Yes, you. By the time you read this, you’ll probably have already spent three hours on Facebook – 93 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds do.
When was the last time you volunteered? Tried changing someone’s life? Encouraged growth and helped nurture humanity? More often than not, the common response to these questions is, “I’m too busy.”
Aren’t we all too busy? Between school, work, friends, sports, parties, family gather-ings and pets, it’s difficult to squeeze in extra time. Except for the multitude of hours dedicated to social media. Did you know, on average, when an individual sits down to check Facebook, they spend about 74 minutes per visit?
It’s important to under-stand that while I question the overall time-commitment concerned with media usage, I do not think that it’s entirely detrimental. I applaud Mark Zuckerberg for having the for-titudes to create the most-used
form of social networking to date. The list of advantages Facebook provides is endless.
We finally have the oppor-tunity to communicate instan-taneously with people from far reaches of each nation. We have the ability to plan events and send invites, share exciting moments and post feel-good quotes and videos. Furthermore, we have the ability to motivate.
Upworthy.com and Elite Daily cover my newsfeed with fantastic ventures people everywhere are accomplishing. Oftentimes emotional, occa-sionally fraught, but always containing inspirational mes-sages, their stories and imag-ery document everyday people doing incredible work in the name of humanity.
People are out there touch-ing lives and changing situa-tions, and I love reading about them. What’s even more excit-ing is this: Upworthy develop-
ers report 65 percent of the U.S. population on Facebook has a friend who follows their feed, with an estimated 1.3 million Facebook users repost-ing stories. With a motto like, “Things that matter. Pass ’em on.” who couldn’t help but click the share button?
But what about you and me? As one of the most pro-gressive generations to date, I’m excited to do my part to change the world. In addition to passing along the inspira-tional words of motivational
sites, I want to be a part of it, and more importantly, I want you to be a part of it, too.
Most university students are guilty of getting a little too enthralled in Facebook, but it would be nice to use that time to do something worthwhile instead. I know we’re all busy, but we can spare a couple hours a week. What’s even more convenient is the University of Northern Iowa has already established a great avenue to assist you in your endeavors. Check out
Volunteer Tuesdays at http://uni.edu/involvement/service/volunteer-tuesdays.
Consider this your sign. Let’s stop waiting on the world to change and do something about it ourselves. The reli-gious-based holiday of Lent begins March 5; wouldn’t it be nice to give more of some-thing instead of giving some-thing up? I implore you to give up some Facebook time and try giving more to your community. Try changing the world.
Take a social media break, volunteerRENAE [email protected]

What your history books didn’t tell you
In our American histo-ry classes, we’ve all been fed misinformation, and we rarely question what we’ve been eating.
Through skewed depic-tions of U.S. American his-tory in the media and in pub-lic education, we’re led to believe in the infallible supe-riority of the U.S. Although there’s nothing wrong with a bit of pride in one’s coun-try, this way of thinking can end in blind national-ism. And unquestioned Americanism is largely per-petuated through the false-hoods, embellishments and omissions in many American
history curricula. In his book “Lies My
Teacher Told Me,” James Loewen uses primary sourc-es like census data and news-paper articles to debunk American history textbooks.
Loewen reveals that textbooks distort history through the glorification of some of our national heroes. Many would be startled at the true character of some renowned American figures. Italian explorer Christopher Columbus snugly fits this role.
We proudly revere Columbus for his voyages to the Americas, but rarely do we hear about how he treated the original inhabit-ants. Columbus championed the violent eradication, rape, disfigurement and dehu-manization of the Native Americans he encountered,
not to mention his introduc-tion of trans-Atlantic slav-ery to what could hardly be considered a new world.
On the other hand, Loewen asserts certain facts about our historical figures have been omitted because they didn’t mesh with main-stream political thought. Early in our education, we learn the inspirational story of Helen Keller - a brave young girl who overcame barricades to succeed. What we aren’t told is that she went on to be a prominent figure in American social-
ism. Within nationalism we
observe selectivism, which allows us to pick and choose which parts of history become canon. Oftentimes, for instance, we will overlook people of color and women because of our white, patri-archal social framework.
True American heroes like Frederick Douglass do deserve our adulation. As a child, Douglass taught himself to read while still in slavery. After he became a free man, he worked as an activist, championing many social justice issues. However, the erasure of certain peoples due to their existence outside of domi-nant culture leads to a dis-torted U.S. American his-tory. Many students will not hear about Douglass until college courses, if at all.
On a grander scale, many periods of history have been diluted. The portray-al of Native Americans in U.S. American textbooks perfectly illustrates this perversion. White settlers routinely stole property from, forced religious con-version on and massacred native people. Many proud Americans justify this dehu-manization by singularizing diverse and civilized Native American cultures into one “primitive” culture, again supported by popularized representations of “savage Indians.”
An unbiased approach to knowledge of history is essential to understand-ing ourselves as individuals within society. It’s neces-sary to critically examine our hegemonic ignorance to avoid repeating it.

A healthy taste of the worldAn array of tantalizing
foods greeted the taste buds of the Cedar Falls community in the Center for Multicultural Education March 4.
Members of the International Student Association served foods from their countries for people to try.
“It’s really nice to have this event on since some students haven’t been outside the states,” said Natalie Lourds, sophomore marketing major. “They can experience different countries and their food.”
Ramya Varadaraju, senior computer science major, said she worked with the International
Student Association to put on the event. Varadaraju is also a member of Reaching for Higher Ground, and this year’s theme is Food Matters.
“The purpose of Reaching for Higher Ground projects is to create a stronger campus community, one more accepting towards people with different viewpoints and backgrounds,” said Fariha Afzal, senior inte-rior design major.
Ajay Abraham, senior accounting and criminology double major, said his favorite part of preparing for the event was “working together with everybody and bonding with people from other countries.”
Six-year-old Ariana Morera helped her mother, Hilda
Betancort, and father, Andres Morera, with the Costa Rica table. She was dressed in campesinos, the traditional clothing of Costa Rica.
Andres, Spanish education graduate student, said the event was “to help you to real-ize there are more countries on campus besides my own. There is diversity available at UNI.”
The main focus of the event was to promote healthier eat-ing. Each recipe contained no more than 10 ingredients and was a healthy, simple food for students to make. Those in charge of the event said they want students to depend less on microwavable and frozen foods.

How to make a tank top for spring break
Though dreary clouds and puddles are everywhere, spring is just around the cor-ner, and spring break is next
week. For those students ventur-
ing into warmer territories, a tank top or two might be necessary. For those staying home, don’t be afraid to turn up the heat one day, break
out those luau decorations and throw on some shorts.
Whether you’re in your apartment or in the Bahamas for break, here’s a nifty trick to turn your old t-shirts into hotter-weather tank tops.
JACINDA RUGGLESArt Director
Step 1. Cut the collar off the tshirt. Be sure to stay close to the seam.
Step 2. Do the same with the sleeves.
Step 3: Cut the front neckline approximately 1 ½ inches lower
Step 4: Cut the back neckline into a deep V shape so that the hole will hit a little above the middle of your back.
MATERIALS
• Old T-shirt• Scissors
Step 5: Cut an extra inch off the sleeves so they hang a little lower.
Step 6: Lay the shirt flat on its side and cut the bottom off while staying close to the bottom seam.
Step 7: Cut out an 8-by-1 inch piece of T-shirt mate-rial from the sleeves you cut off earlier. Take the material and pull on the two ends so it curls up.
Step 8: Tie the 8-by-1 inch T-shirt material and wrap around the back sleeves of the T-shirt at the bottom of the V you cut out earlier. Tie in a double knot.

As Stanek spoke about her tribulations with work-ing around the controver-sial procedures of late-term abortions, she empha-sized her belief in God and her commitment to do something about the issue.
Though she received hate mail and was eventu-ally fired for her under-cover ousting of abortions, Stanek remained persistent in her battle.
“I know that one plus God equals the majority,”
Stanek said.She also used scriptures
to reinforce her reason for standing by her beliefs.
“There was a lot of heavy information, and it was uncomforting to hear her explain the different types of abortion, but it made me more knowledge-able,” said Allison Haag, senior music and health promotion double major and UNI Right to Life member.
Casey said Stanek exceeded her expectations and she was very pleased with the turnout.

It was a tale of two halves for Northern Iowa, as the Panthers fell to Southern Illinois 63-58 despite a 28-9 run in the second half of Friday’s quarterfinal match of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
UNI trailed by as many as 19 points in the second half but was able to tie the game with just over 3 min-utes left on two Seth Tuttle free throws.
“The kind of guys that we’re dealing with and the guys that we’ve got in our program and the leadership we have from the players in our program ... I’d have been extremely surprised had we not stood in there and fought,” UNI head coach Ben Jacobson said.
Tuttle finished the game
with 15 points, 17 rebounds and four assists.
“I think (SIU) just played really good defense,” Tuttle said of the team’s first-half woes. “They pressured the ball harder. I feel like what really hurt us might have been them denying the wings. It hurt us get-ting into our sets, getting into what we wanted to run.”
SIU’s Desmar Jackson outscored the Panthers in the first half, account-ing for 20 of his team’s 36 first-half points. The Saluki’s led UNI 36-18 at halftime after the Panthers shot just 21 percent in the first 20 minutes of play.
Despite his hot start, Jackson scored just 3 points in the second half to finish the game with 23 points.
After not scoring a single point in the first half, UNI guards Matt Bohannon,
Jeremy Morgan and Wes Washpun combined to finish with a total of 22 points.
This is the fourth time in as many seasons the Panthers have not advanced past the quar-terfinals of the MVC Tournament. However, UNI may still play again this season in a postseason tournament. The tourna-ment committees and the program will make that decision as early as Sunday. “I know we’ve got some conversations to have now about whether we’re going to continue to play this year,” Jacobson said. “The only thing I would say is that playing for a cham-pionship in our league and playing in the NCAA Tournament will continue to be at the top of our list. That’s not going to change.”
UNI falls short to SalukisJAKE BEMIS
Sports Editor
After Northern Iowa’s 89-70 victory over Illinois State, the Panthers found themselves in the midst of a six-game win-ning streak with a chance at first place in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Forward Jen Keitel’s 23- point effort led the way for the Panthers against the Redbirds, which was her third consecutive game scoring in double figures. Guard Madison Weekly chipped in with 16 points and five rebounds. Brittni Donaldson and Stephanie Davison also reached double-digit point totals, scoring 13 and 12 points, respectively.
With the pieces falling into place, all UNI needed to do was take care of business against Indiana State and wait for the final result of the Wichita State and Missouri State game to learn their fate. After an 85-72 loss to Indiana State, scoreboard watching was no longer nec-essary. In a game where UNI never held the lead, the Panthers suffered a severe shooting slump that resulted in a 20 percent field goal percentage and several missed layups in the first half.
“We were nervous. I could
see it,” UNI head coach Tanya Warren said. “Offensively, we were a completely different team than we’ve been in the first half.”
Keitel led the team in scor-ing once again, contributing 21 points and adding a team-high seven rebounds. She also dished out a team-high three assists. Forward Hannah Schonhardt was the next highest scorer for the Panthers, recording 15 points on the afternoon.
Schonhardt played with a high level of intensity on Saturday. She let her emotions spill out on the court with sev-eral fist pumps and screams after made baskets.
“I was playing a little mad because we should’ve come out stronger in the first half, so that drove me,” Schonhardt said. “We weren’t giving up until the game was over.”
UNI fought tooth and nail to
get back in the game, but ISU kept a steady lead and foiled any attempts the Panthers made to cut it down. The 4-21 from behind the arc didn’t help the Panthers’ cause, as the 19 per-cent from 3-point range that UNI put forth was dwarfed by the 69 percent ISU shot for the afternoon.
The ISU performance was orchestrated by guard Bilqis
Abdul-Qaadir, who led the Sycamores in scoring with 28 points while also recording four assists. Abdul-Qaadir scored 20 of her total points in the first half and was a major factor in the 34-21 UNI deficit at the half.
“She’s phenomenal,” Warren said of the ISU guard. “Not only can she score, but she can get her teammates the basket-ball in a position where they can
score.” With the loss, UNI is locked
in third place heading into the MVC Tournament.
“We’re confident. We’re going to go in there and make some noise in that tournament.” Schonhardt said.
The MVC Tournament kicks off Thursday in St. Charles, Mo. UNI will play its first game at 8:35 p.m. Friday.
