Student loan debt decreasing at UNI
University releases new mobile app
Debt due to student loans has decreased 10 percent since 2010 for the average University of Northern Iowa student, according to a UNI press release. The release points to UNI’s Live Like a Student program as one rea-son for the decrease.
The program allows students to cal-culate their debt, manage their money and look at how their financial choices today will affect them in the future.
“Educating students on the impor-tance of borrowing responsibly and demonstrating how their borrowing today can impact them in repayment has served students well,” said Tim Bakula, associate director of financial aid.
He said that taking control of financ-es now lays the groundwork for reach-ing future financial goals.
For Laura Janssen, senior public rela-tions major, the Live Like a Student program has been useful.
“Living off campus means you have a lot more bills to pay for than those who
live on campus,” Janssen said. “I feel like budgeting myself is a lot easier.”
Janssen has also turned to loan coun-seling to learn about paying off her loans.
“When I finish college …, loan coun-seling has given me a rough estimate of what will be due when my loans accumulate,” Janssen said. “My plan is to set aside a small amount of money each month to go towards my loans when they are due.”
The University of Northern Iowa launched an applica-tion available for both Apple and Android devices Jan. 4 in order to help students become more connected to their school and to help incoming students become acclimated to their new environment, said Scott Ketelsen, director of University Relations.
The app provides several features, including schedules of UNI events, menus for the campus dining centers, maps of the campus and emergency contact information.
“We really wanted it to be both informational but also useful, so we took a lot of time with the emergency but-ton,” Ketelsen said. “We just wanted some way for people to just instantly need help if they need it.”

To further assist students in understanding and managing finances, UNI is currently working on a Four Year Financial Literacy Plan, which will allow UNI to provide information to students based on their
grade level and level of indebtedness, said Bakula.
Bakula also said the decrease in student indebtedness may continue.
“If college costs remain steady and student(s) continue to make conscientious decisions about their borrowing, it is certainly possible,” Bakula
said. While loan debt is
decreasing at UNI, 77 percent of UNI’s 2012 graduates left with debt, which is higher than the University of Iowa’s 55 percent and Iowa State University’s 65 percent, according to the Institute for College Access and Success in Washington, D.C.
DEBTcontinued from page 1
Though Branstad’s budget does not reflect UNI’s request-ed amount, Ketelsen said the university is appreciative and Branstad’s budget “will get us by” with no foreseen cuts to the university.
In an interview on Monday, Branstad acknowledged the unique budget challenges UNI faces because of its high rate of resident students compared to the University of Iowa and Iowa State University. Currently, 92 percent of UNI’s students are from Iowa.
“Frankly, the formula they’ve used to distribute funds appro-priated (by) the Regents from between the three universities hasn’t been adjusted for a long period of time,” Branstad said. “I think that formula doesn’t treat the University of Northern Iowa fairly.”
LegislatureIn the legislature, funding for
the tuition freeze and appropria-tions for UNI are still uncertain.
In the Iowa House, Rep. Bob Kressig D-Waterloo said Branstad supporting the tuition freeze is positive news.
“My real concern is how it’s going to be dealt with in the legislature. Having his support
is key, I think,” Kressig said.Sen. Bill Dotzler, D-Waterloo,
is also concerned with whether House leaders will support the requested $10 million for UNI.
“House leadership does not want to show that much growth in spending, but they’re more willing to give one-time money,” Dotzler said. “It’s good, but it would be better to eventually roll it into the base.”
Rep. Sandy Salmon R-Janesville said she is also unsure whether tuition freeze and appropriations for UNI will pass through the House.
“I’m thinking that the tuition freeze, that is a decision made by the Board of Regents. It’s really not a decision made in the legis-lature,” Salmon said. “We’ll have to look at the budget and do the best we can do, and then the Board of Regents will have to make their decision after that.”
In the Iowa Senate, Sen. Jeff Danielson D-Cedar Falls said he feels positively about the tuition freeze and $10 million passing through both cham-bers.
It is difficult for me to find words with enough pas-sion to describe how incred-ible it was to celebrate the opening of the University of Northern Iowa’s LGBT Center Dec. 10, 2013. F o r those who come to UNI next year to begin their college journey, it will seem only natural to see the center, with shelves full of queer lit-erature and a friendly gradu-ate assistant ready to help, on the top level of Maucker Union. For me, a fourth-year student preparing for gradu-ation, it is absolutely breath-taking.
When I arrived on cam-pus, I expected an open and supportive place, the opposite of my high school, which was a place of fear and repres-sion. In some ways, UNI was more open. In other ways, it wasn’t. I was surprised by the lack of conversation about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender experiences,
identities and perspectives. The university had little to no explicit support for people like me.
I met many people who were still in the closet. Queer friends described frightful encounters with those who harassed them, and other friends, burdened with the pressures of being a minor-ity, disclosed that they didn’t want to live anymore.
I felt helpless. It seemed many LGBT students were not thriving at UNI; they were struggling to get by. Several student activists and I, especially those involved with UNI Proud, began call-ing in earnest for an LGBT center, one that could begin to address the problems at UNI and be a beacon of hope to queer students. The idea had been whispered about for years, but we elevated the whisper to a call, then to a yell.
In October of 2012, I wrote an opinion column titled “We’re Here, We’re Queer, and We Need An LGBT Center.” In it, I argued that LGBT students, among other queer students, have unique and complex needs
and concerns that necessitate accommodation by the uni-versity.
This is absolutely still the case, but now UNI is one
step closer to accommodat-ing those needs. Student activists, fighting to have their voices heard and working with the Northern
Iowa Student Government and UNI administration, earned a monumental victo-ry. The LGBT Center opened to much fanfare and excite-ment in and around UNI.
UNI alumnus David Hays, who was involved with UNI Proud while at UNI, then called UNI Gay/Lesbian Organization, said the open-ing of a center with its own outreach coordinator was “almost overwhelming.”
“In the late 1980s, we were trying to balance visibility with risk to personal safety and our jobs, trying to reach out to help students and staff come out at some level while no legal protections were in place, trying to find happi-ness and serenity in a world of discrimination and hate,” Hays said.
We’re still waiting and pushing for gender-neutral housing and bathrooms, but we truly have come a long way, as a community and a university. It’s here, it’s queer, and it’s proof that we can come together to enact change: it’s the new LGBT center. I strongly encourage you to witness history and visit soon.
It’s here, it’s queer, it’s the new LGBT Center

Soup’s onCOOKING
UNI dining centers release favorite recipesClassic dining center foods
like chicken enchilada soup and panther chili can now meet the mouths of hungry Panthers in their own homes.
With eight categories and 178 recipes, the University of Northern Iowa’s cookbook “Best Bites” provides an assort-ment of UNI recipes.
Almost 600 books have been sold so far and 500 more are on the way.
“I think it was a shining success and fun,” said Carol Fletcher, assistant director of residential dining.
In the ’90s, UNI Dining Services sold recipe packets for soups, cookies and more. However, this is the first cook-book produced by the univer-sity.
The idea of the cookbook came after dining services decided they wanted to cre-ate recipe packets for entrees. When they realized they hadn’t printed recipes for many other categories, they decided it was
time to make a book. “Best Bites” is the result of
a three-year process that com-bined family recipes brought in by staff, recipes created at UNI in more recent years and recipes that have been used at UNI for 10-15 years.
The most difficult task when creating “Best Bites” was con-verting the large-scale recipes meant to serve hundreds in the dining centers to recipes that produced smaller batches suit-able for the home.
“The cookies were probably the most difficult because that’s where we started,” Fletcher said of the conversions.
There were many requested recipes. Panther chili, broccoli-grape salad, cookies and chick-en enchilada soup were among the most desired recipes.
“It’s fun to talk to people about their memories of their experiences at UNI,” said Fletcher. “To me, that’s what this is about. This was truly a labor of love.”
“Best Bites” can be found at 23rd Street Market, Biscotti’s, Piazza and Panther Pantry.
JACINDA RUGGLESStaff Writer Tortilla Roll-Ups
Some of the recipes in “Best Bites” can be made in the comfort of a dorm room. This potentially spicy recipe yields 40 tortilla roll-ups. All you need is a bowl, a mixer, plastic wrap and a knife.
• 4 10-inch flour tortilla shell• 7-ounce cream cheese• 1/4 cup salsa• 1/3 cup green onion, finely chopped• 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder• 1/2 cup prepared guacamole
1. With a mixer, blend cream cheese, salsa, onions, garlic and chili powder. Mix until well blended.2. Spread 1/4 of the filling evenly to the edges of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla shell tightly. Trim off ends.3. Wrap each tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.4. Slice each roll into 10 slices.5. Top each roll-up with a dollop of guacamole.

There is no estimate for how many are expected to down-load the app, but University Relations hopes that eventu-ally everyone on campus will use the app to assist them and to stay up to date with the school’s events.
“It’s just another avenue to stay in touch. We want every-body to know what’s going on,” Ketelsen said.
The time between the idea for the app and its realiza-tion was short thanks to UNI’s Information Technology and Graphic Design departments, said Ketelsen.
Creation of the app began around Thanksgiving and less than two months later it was launched and func-tional. However, the depart-ments responsible for its creation are always open to improve-ment. University Relations has cre-ated a task force to discuss how the app can better serve UNI’s stu-dent body.
According to Ketelsen, one of
the first questions asked after the app was launched was when students would be able to register for classes through it. The IT and Graphic Design departments are currently
working on this change and are expecting more changes in the near future.
“This is just the first itera-tion and we’re constantly try-ing to improve,” Ketelsen said. “We’re always going to have two
or three things that we want to be working on, asking, ‘What’s next?’”
Ketelsen said UNI hopes that keeping up with the tech-nology curve will bring in prospective students. Both the school and the mobile app will be advertised around the state in mid-January.
“I think any incoming high school student would expect a university to have a mobile app,” Ketelsen said. “It’s the way to communicate; to ignore it is insane.”
The app is currently avail-able through the Apple Store and Google Play.

I would rather have
more consistent tuition raises than have tuition be flat and raise really sharply.

COURTESY PHOTOUNI students Stephanie Boardman, Cheltzie Miller-Bailey and Emilio Sanchez use a variety of electronic devices in Maucker Union. UNI’s new mobile app allows students to connect with the university.
“I think we have done a better than average job at getting it done,” Danielson said. “We can finally turn the corner on UNI fund-ing, stabilize it for more than just one year because that 10 million is supposed to be permanently put into the base.”
On the student side, Northern Iowa Student Government President Thomas Madsen said a tuition freeze would be positive, only if UNI receives the requested $10 million and there is a 4 percent increase to opera-tions.
“I would rather have more consistent tuition raises than have tuition be flat and raise really sharp-ly,” Madsen said.
InfrastructureAdditionally, Branstad
is requesting $32.9 mil-lion for renovations for the Schindler Education Center, $1.5 million of which is for FY 2015 to plan for renovations. Last year, Branstad vetoed $7 million for the planning
and design of projects at the public universities, including $1.5 million for renovations to Schindler.
“I do believe we’ve got to be careful about not over-committing ourselves to money that we can’t afford,” Branstad said. “We came here to restore sta-bility and predictability.”
Rep. Anesa Kajtazovic D-Waterloo said she sup-ports funding the renova-tions for Schindler.
“It makes sense that we fix these things on time for the long term because when a building deterio-rates to the point that we need a new building then it costs us a lot more,” Kajtazovic said.

Panthers bury Bulldogs 76-66MEN’S BASKETBALL
CASSIDY NOBLE/Northern IowanUNI guard Wes Washpun (11) was named MVC Newcomer of the Week for his performances against Evansville and Drake.
For head coach Ben Jacobson’s Panthers (9-7, 3-1 MVC) to achieve their ultimate goal of a Missouri Valley Conference championship, it was going to take a healthy amount of in-season growth. That growth has begun and the University of Northern Iowa is benefiting from it.
After going 3-2 over the holi-day break, the Panthers played host to in-state rival Drake University.
With 6 minutes, 54 seconds remaining in the game, the scoreboard read 58-53 in favor of the Bulldogs after Drake point guard Richard Carter sliced through Panther defend-ers. He gave his team a five-point lead, but it was the Panthers who finished the last seven minutes of the game on a 23-8 run to win 76-66.
With 5:19 remaining in the game, Nate Buss re-energized the crowd with a 3-pointer that cut the Bulldog lead to two points.
“Buss isn’t the type to pass up any open shots,” said Jacobson as he cracked a grin after the game.
Buss finished the game with 10 points and five rebounds.
“I expect the ball to go in every time I shoot it,” Buss said. “That’s not me being cocky; I feel like that’s just me being con-fident in my shot. I’m in the gym getting shots up so I know I’m prepared to shoot the ball whenever.”
Redshirt sophomore Matt Bohannon, who has faced more than his share of struggles from behind the 3-point arc this sea-son, gave the lead back to UNI when he buried a 3-pointer with 3:37 left in the game. A defen-sive stop on the next posses-sion turned into a Nate Buss
3-pointer at the offensive end that extended the lead to five points.
Deon Mitchell quickly poured in four points with two dribble-drives and the last two minutes were all UNI.
“Ending a game like that, I think it really helped this team for some of the reasons I’ve men-tioned,” Jacobson said. “Having some younger guys that now their first time in a conference game where we’ve been in that situation. And first time on our home floor this year we’ve been in that situation where we’ve been behind late. So to end it like that and have some big plays made, I think that can add to the momentum we’ve picked up here the last couple weeks.”
Jacobson and the Panthers will be back in action at noon on Saturday against the Missouri State University Bears (12-4, 2-2 MVC).

WRESTLING
UNI improves to 3-0 in MACIf you didn’t pay attention to
University of Northern Iowa athletics over winter break, you missed out on many tremen-dous wrestling performances.
First, UNI left quite an impression at the Ken Kraft Midland Championships, fin-ishing in fifth place. At 133 pounds, Joe Colon became the highest finisher at Midlands for a UNI wrestler since 2005. Colon took down two of the nation’s top wrestlers on his way to a first place finish. Colon pinned previously No. 2 ranked Tony Ramos of the University of Iowa in 2 minutes, 37 sec-onds — the first time Ramos has been pinned in his college career.
Dylan Peters used two tech-nical falls the second day to put himself in position to earn third place. However, Peters lost to top-ranked Jesse Delgado of the University of Illinois and finished in fourth place.
After winning his first two matches, Cooper Moore fell just short of the championship match when he lost to top-seeded Steven Monk of North Dakota State University. After his second loss of the meet, Moore defeated Columbia University’s Josh Houldsworth, 8-0, for a fifth-place finish.
Next, the No. 10 ranked Panthers won eight of 11 matches en route to a 32-6 vic-tory over Buffalo.
Saturday night, UNI dis-played their depth in a 25-14 victory over Mid-American Conference foe Central Michigan. UNI began the meet with four straight victories to take an early 15-0 lead. Peters won in a 9-6 decision over 13th ranked Corey Keener.
Boasting a number two ranking at 133 pounds, Joe Colon beat 15th ranked Joe Roth 7-2 to improve his record to 19-1.
Going into the third period, UNI’s Joey Lazor was in a bat-tle with Tyler Keselring before Lazor recorded a pin in 5:10.
In his first dual meet of the season, Tyler Patten came out and dominated Scotting Mattingly at 149 pounds. Patten built a 5-0 lead in the first period before holding on
to a 9-4 lead for the victory. At 165 pounds, Moore
recorded his 16th victory of the season with a pin over Nick Becker in 4:18. Neither wres-tler scored until Moore took down Becker in the second period.
After three consecutive Central Michigan victories, Blaize Cabell ended the meet on a high note for the Panthers. He scored by takedown seven times during a 16-6 victory over Adam Robinson to finish off the match for the No. 9 ranked Panthers.
UNI improved to 5-0 and 3-0 in MAC competition. Next, UNI will travel to Norman, Okla., to take on the University of Oklahoma Sooners Jan. 19 before competing in the West Gym Jan. 24 against Missouri.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Panthers 3-1 in MVC
The University of Northern Iowa won its third straight game Saturday as the Panthers defeated the Southern Illinois University Salukis 87-53. The win moved UNI’s Missouri Valley Conference record to 3-1, as they defeated Illinois State University and the University of Evansville to begin their conference winning streak.
Stephanie Davison scored a combined 48 points during the Panthers’ winning streak and the team averaged 78 points per game.
The Panthers outscored their opponents in the last three games by an average of 21 points while allowing just 57 points per game.
“(SIU) has two very good post players,” said head coach Tanya Warren. “Our defense overall was very very good, especially when we trapped the post and we were still able to get out to their shooters.”
Amber Sorenson knocked down five of the Panthers’ eight
3-pointers and finished with 17 points off the bench against SIU. UNI’s bench accounted for over half of the team’s scoring with 45 points.
“They were outstanding,” said Warren. “One of the things we’ve talked about is that when your number is called, be pre-pared to go in and make some-thing positive happen. I thought they did that today.”
The Panthers trailed for just 3 minutes, 25 seconds to start the game before taking the lead and never looking back.
Sorenson scored eight points while making two 3-pointers during a 16-6 run to end the first half, giving the Panthers a 42-23 lead heading into the locker room.
“My teammates kept telling me to keep shooting and that they will fall,” said Sorenson.
The momentum stayed with the Panthers to begin the sec-ond half as they rattled off a quick 6-0 run led by Jen Keitel. Keitel finished with 10 points on the afternoon.
A 10-2 run from the Panthers all but put the game away as they found themselves up 65-33 with 9:32 remaining before the starters were taken out.
“We all played together as a team for 40 minutes today,” said Sorenson. “Not just on offense but defense as well.”
The Panthers continue con-ference play as they travel to Wichita, Kan., to take on the cur-rent MVC frontrunner Wichita State University Shockers.
