Since being instituted in 2010, the 21-only ordinance has been a constant source of debate among local business-es, University of Iowa students, and government officials in Iowa City.

The ordinance prohibits anyone un-der the age of 21 from being in a bar after 10 p.m.

On Nov. 5, the ordinance will go up for a vote once again. The UI Young Americans for Liberty hosted an event on Wednesday night titled “Restore Io-wa City: Repeal the 21-Ordinance” to discuss tactics to put in place in order to successfully repeal the ordinance in the upcoming election.

At the event, members brainstormed a variety of strategies to gather the needed number of citizens to vote “yes” to repeal the ordinance, as well as gaining awareness of the election among students.

Group President Joey Gallagher cited a number of reasons he and the group are opposed to the ordinance. He argued the safety of students is com-promised because of drinking that oc-curs at house parties is not regulated.

Referencing “horror stories” result-ing from fraternity pledging and hazing practices, University of Iowa freshman Jared Bohlmann had no intentions of joining a fraternity when he first arrived on campus this fall.

However, when he heard about one national chapter that debunks those no-tions, his interest was sparked.

Now, after three years of applying for a spot, a new traditionally Jewish frater-nity has joined the University of Iowa’s growing greek population, and Bohl-mann said the colony changed his views on “going greek.”

“The opportunity of being a founding father, an influential part on campus, and having a chance to really get in-volved was what won me over,” he said.

Zeta Beta Tau arrived on campus at the start of the fall semester, following a trend of more UI students choosing to “go greek.”

The fraternity is currently considered a colony and will become a full chapter on campus as soon as academic and member quota requirements are met.

And while the chapter, whose nation-al roots date back to 1898, gained five members through the formal recruit-ment process, many more got involved by way of a simple phone call from Mike Pollack-Twomey. Pollack-Twomey serves as an expansion consultant for Zeta Beta

Tau headquarters, located in Indianapo-lis.

“It is a unique and special opportuni-ty to help establish a new ZBT colony of quality individuals to this great campus at the University of Iowa,” he said in an email. “I have been so impressed by these men and confident in their abilities to bring a very positive impact to Iowa City.”

As of the spring 2013 academic semes-ter, the Interfraternity Council, which oversees Zeta Beta Tau, had 917 regis-tered members.

During the most recent round of re-cruitment this semester, approximately 344 new members were welcomed this

fall.This Sunday, the Zeta Beta Tau chap-

ter will initiate between 15 and 20 new members in the Old Capitol Senate Chamber.

The national chapter has initiated more than 140,000 men in the United States, Canada, and the United King-dom.

Instead of going through the pledging process, members can be initiated in 72 hours of accepting their invitation by becoming educated about Zeta Beta Tau ideals and beliefs.

While the Iowa City School District is one of the fastest growing district in the state, local private schools are just beginning to bounce back from a decline in enrollment following the recession.

Iowa City has grown by more than 10,000 residents since 1990. For the Io-wa City’s School District, enrollment has been at an all-time high. Kate Moreland, community relations’ coordinator for the district, said enrollment is growing be-tween 300 and 500 kids per year.

However, private schools have taken a hit becasue of recent economic woes. My-ra McGovern, an official at the Nation-al Association of Independent Schools, said nationally, when the recession hit, fewer families were applying to private schools, while a larger number of fami-lies applied for financial aid.

McGovern said enrollment in private schools hit a peak in 2008 and 2009 but crashed alongside the stock market.

“It’s about two sisters trying to live the dream.”UI twins perform in the Theater Workshop production of My Sister this weekend. 80 Hours.

At exactly 12:20 p.m. Wednesday, mem-bers of the University of Iowa Dance Mar-athon stripped their sweaters and coats — revealing a sea of lime-green T-shirts — and dominated the Pentacrest in a sur-prise flash mob.

This event was one of several taking place throughout the week as part of Lime Days, Dance Marathon’s recruit-ment week.

This annual event began in 2011 in an attempt to get more students interested in participating in the Big Event in Feb-ruary.

Events this week began on Sunday; they include a family picnic, a balloon re-lease in Hubbard Park, and on Thursday a meet-and-greet with families will be held in the IMU.

The third annual Dance Marathon 5K

will take place on Oct. 6, in Lower City Park. This year will mark the 20th Dance

Marathon Big Event. Last year’s event raised $1.53 million for children cancer patients at the University of Iowa Hospi-tals & Clinics. Since 1995, the group has raised $12.7 million.

This academic year’s Big Event will take place Feb. 7 and 8 in the IMU.

Group probes justice-center

By eMily frieseemily-friese@uiowa.edu

The number of lo-cal elections that shot down a new justice cen-ter stands firmly at 2-0. With a public-interest survey in its second phase, there is a new op-portunity to gain insight on the contentious topic.

The current Johnson County Jail was built in 1981 and holds 92 inmates. However, ac-cording to the jail popu-lation statistics, rough-ly 160 Johnson County residents at any given time need to be held in jail, but only a percent-age stay in the John-son County Jail. This in turn forces the county to spend close to $1.3 million yearly to send inmates to other county jails.

In Nov. 2012, John-son County residents failed to pass a proposed bond referendum that would put $46.8 million into the construction of a new, 243-bed facili-ty with six courtrooms. While 56 percent voted in approval, it failed to pass the 60 percent re-quired supermajority.

In May, an updated $43.5 million bond ref-erendum reduced the number of beds and courtroom space from the earlier proposal. Votes once again fell short of the supermajor-ity, coming in at just 54

percent.Survey 2.0: Design a

Justice Center Online, is the second survey to be released by the Johnson County Justice Center interest group. It was posted on the Justice Center’s website earlier this month and will be taken offline on Sept. 30. Anyone can log in and take the survey.

The first online sur-vey, posted in August, asked the public what they wanted from a new Justice Center.

Greg Johnson, a vol-unteer with the Johnson County Justice Center group, said the design of the new survey is to identify possible solu-tions to the polarizing debate.

“We’ve talked about the problems; now, let’s talk about the solu-tions,” he said.

The recent survey asks members of the community to identify and design their “ide-al” justice center and to post ideas regarding facility location, sus-tainability features, ser-vices, and staffing.

Aleksey Gurtovoy, a member of Vote No Jus-tice Center, said while he respects what John-son is trying to do with the survey, he feels the public should not be fo-cusing so much on the physical building.

“There are issues in the criminal justice

system that we think should be worked on be-fore the county comes to the public and asks for money for a new one,” he said. “There are things that nobody really un-derstands, like why our county jail population is three times what it should be … it doesn’t make sense to talk about the jail before we get our situation under control.”

Conversely, Johnson said problems with-in the criminal-justice system in the commu-nity must be addressed, such as worn-out court-houses, a lack of basic safety mechanisms, an outdated fire-protection system, and general ac-cessibility issues.

“Our jail and court-house are not legal,” he said. “They should shut it down, but it’s all we have. We can’t continue to bunk people in tiny rooms or ship people off. At some point, the state may come and shut it down because it’s just not right.”

Johnson said he plans to share information from the survey in a written report with the Johnson County Board of Supervisors as well as the public once results are in.

Supervisor Pat Har-ney said while he does not recall receiving feed-back from the first sur-vey, the supervisors take public feedback very se-

riously.“We’ve had listening

posts where we went to different communities to get public opinion, but they aren’t highly attend-ed,” he said. “It’s interest-ing that we aren’t getting the people to come listen and ask questions about this.”

And while there is no permanent plan to vote for a new Justice Center, Harney said they’re try-ing to get the ball roll-ing.

“We’ve been working on this since 2000,” he said. “We’re going to meet with law officials and garner more interest from the public. We’re moving it forward, but there is no date, place, or time yet. It could be a year from now.”

Man faces drug chargeAn Iowa City man has been

accused of growing marijuana.Michael Callahan, 36, was

charged Tuesday with a con-

trolled-substance violation.According to an Iowa City police

complaint, members of the Johnson County Drug Task Force conducted an investigation into marijuana growing.

Callahan was allegedly spotted leaving the marijuana-growing location and admitted to growing marijuana.

During a search, officials reportedly located 14 plants and different tools used to tend them.

From video on a trail cam, Callahan was allegedly found tending the plants on more than one occasion.

Controlled-substance violation is a Class-D felony.

Public Library forges ahead with renovations

By ABigAil MeierAbigail-meier@uiowa.edu

While a 2-year-old bounces down the hall-ways of the Iowa City Public Library and a couple read in the new magazine lounge, a loud humming comes from a drill as renovations con-tinue.

The library, 123 S. Linn St., is undergoing a number of renovations that began two years ago and are on track for a timely completion.

The Better Building, Better Services project aims to improve custom-er service at the library.

The Iowa City Public Library Friends Founda-tion has invested rough-ly $450,000 in improve-ments over the past two years. Officials estimate renovations will be com-pleted in mid-October.

“The new children sec-tion is the best I’ve seen from any other public li-braries I have been to,” said Iowa City resident Noor Miller.

Library Director Su-san Craig said the reno-vations will include new teen and children sec-tions, updated technolo-gy, added furniture and carpet, and reorganized help desks.

Craig said the project is in its final stages, with renovations to the teen and children’s section nearly complete. Tech-nology, furniture and carpet have been updat-ed in the library.

The Iowa City library has the largest circu-lation in the state and

assisted 720,000 people last year. Craig said be-cause the circulation is already high, she doesn’t anticipate the renova-tions to affect the circu-lation.

Officials have encoun-tered only one issue with the renovations. A piece of glass to be placed in a glass wall in the teen’s section hasn’t arrived. Craig said the library will continue without it.

Miller, her husband, and two children vis-it the library’s updated children’s section at least once a week. Miller said her family spends most of their library visits in the children’s section because of the plentiful number of children’s ac-tivities available.

“One of the purposes of these renovations was to improve technology, par-ticularly for teens and children,” Craig said. “Hopefully, we are giving access to kids who might not have that access at home.”

One particular exam-ple of new technology is the new e-signs. Kara Logsden, the community and access services co-ordinator at the library, said the e-signs are used to share information about library collections, programs, and services and how the public can support the library.

There are also two in-teractive e-signs with maps that visitors can use to find destinations within the library along with a calendar they can change instantaneously.

“We’re very excited to roll them out,” Logsden said. “I think that there’s going to be a little bit of a learning period for us to figure out what’s the best way to present the information, but we think that it’s a great way to share information about the library.”

She said the library was charged a startup cost and after that an ongoing maintenance fee for the e-signs. The Cedar Rap-ids Public Library and the Pappajohn Business Building on the Universi-

ty of Iowa campus also dis-play e-signs.

Thus far, the improve-ments have received a pos-itive response.

“I really like the maga-zine area because it’s away from everything,” said UI

senior Maureen Jennings. “They also put a great em-phasis on creating a new study space.”

Craig said the new inno-vations have brought ad-vancements in resources to the public.

“I like to see how the plans that you make that are on paper or on a com-puter file are realized by real carpet and furniture,” she said. “It’s great to then see people using the new space effectively.”

The Iowa City Public Library is on schedule and on budget to complete its renovations.

Response on SyriaCOLUMN

Last week, in a letter to the editor printed in the The Daily Iowan, the UI College Republicans argued that President Obama had “dropped the ball” when it came to his handling of the Bashar Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons against civilians in the ongoing Syrian Civil War. Closer examination of this letter, however, reveals a flimsy argument that can’t stand up to scrutiny.

The letter starts out with an admission from the College Republicans that they agree with the presi-dent’s “overarching policy goals during the Syrian crisis.” Unfortunately, the College Republicans go on to misstate the president’s policy goals when they blast him for not taking military action in order to “stop the massacre in Syria.” The president’s policy, however, has never been to end the conflict; rather, the adminis-tration has explicitly stated that its main prerogative is to uphold international norms prohibiting the use of chemical weapons.

The letter goes on to chas-tise the president for being “bailed out by [Russian President Vladimir] Putin.” This quote mischaracter-izes the role the Russians have played in the Syrian crisis. Any sort of resolution to the chemical-weapons issue in Syria was going to have to involve Russia, which is the Assad regime’s main weapons importer and ally. And in the end, it was interaction with Russia that led to a breakthrough, as the two sides agreed to force Syria to destroy its chemical-weapons stockpile without the U.S. bombing yet another Middle Eastern country.

The College Republicans also seem to have a limited understanding of how inter-nal U.S. politics work when they argue “Just a few short days ago, Congress could have approved military in-

tervention with bipartisan support. But Obama’s mis-handling of international affairs … has since derailed any chance of congressional approval.”

The major problem with this, of course, is that there was very little willingness in Congress to approve a strike, because large majorities of the American public opposed any sort of military intervention in the crisis. That congressional opposition had built up a bipartisan coalition against the strike, with most mem-bers of Congress publically opposing military action. Congress was nowhere close to approving a strike; so to suggest the president bungled a sure thing is to ignore the political reality.

The letter’s most ludi-crous argument, however, is saved for the very end, when the College Repub-licans lament that the Untied States’ interna-tional credibility has been “destroyed” by the lack of a military strike on Syria.

On the contrary, despite its diplomatic preferences in Syria, the United States still has the world’s largest and most powerful military and continues to be the un-disputed economic, political, and cultural superpower. The U.S. has military bases in almost every country on this planet and continues to exert its authority through U.S.-led international or-ganizations such as NATO, the IMF, and the U.N. To suggest that the lack of a minor bombing campaign in a single civil conflict has totally destroyed the credi-bility of the most powerful country on this planet is simply absurd.

There is definitely room to criticize the adminis-tration’s policy on Syria. I did so myself a few weeks ago when I argued that a military strike on the country would be foolish. But in order articulate such a criticism, one must have a basic understanding of the geo-political factors involved, something the College Republicans appar-ently lack. Because of this, the College Republicans’ argument comes off as a poorly constructed shot at the president that doesn’t engage with the reality of the situation.

THE DAILY IOWAN DAILYIOWAN.COM THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 20134A

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was a feder-al law meant to improve educational accountability by administering yearly standardized tests to K-12 students. States were allowed to set their own scor-ing standards but had to meet growth measures set by the federal government called adequate year-ly progress. All students in all subcategories must meet this standard by 2014 according to the law.

This month, the Iowa Department of Education released a report on No Child Left Behind showing that 64 percent of Iowa schools did not meet the ad-equate yearly progress standards, up from 52 per-cent during the preceding year. The report also notes that 94 percent of students were supposed to meet the adequate yearly progress benchmark this year, up from the prior year’s standard of 80 percent. In the coming school year, 100 percent of students are required to meet the adequate yearly progress mea-sure.

“On paper, many more schools and districts are missing targets or moving into higher levels of ac-countability,” Iowa Department of Education Direc-tor Brad Buck said. “No Child Left Behind’s arbi-trary rules fail to recognize that students come to school with different starting points.”

This 12-year-old bill has succeeded in showing which students are struggling the most according to the applied testing method, but it is hopelessly misguided in attempting to hold schools accountable for students’ performance while setting highly unre-alistic goals.

No Child Left Behind holds schools accountable for what is largely beyond their control: students’ performance on tests. Schools don’t get to pick their students; they must educate every attending stu-dent as well as possible. Of course, schools do bear some responsibility, but to focus solely on schools is extraordinarily unfair both to the institutions and to students.

The average public school receives about half of its funding from local property taxes, which are heavi-

ly dependent on the affluence or lack thereof in the community it serves. Schools have to make do with whatever funds they can scrape together. Available resources have a strong influence on schools’ abili-ties to meet the standards set by No Child Left Be-hind.

Beyond funding problems, schools simply can’t be expected to be responsible for other factors regarding students themselves. K-12 students are generally in class for six to seven hours on weekdays. Schools can’t control what happens outside that time frame, students’ beliefs and values, or the backgrounds from which students come. All of these social factors strongly influence how students perform on tests.

Iowa towns such as Storm Lake and Marshall-town experienced a huge influx of immigrants from Latin America in recent years and expecting schools in these communities to keep up with standards set up through No Child Left Behind is unreasonable. For most of these Latino immigrants, English is a second language. There is no opportunity to take standardized tests in any other language, so these schools are automatically at a big disadvantage.

Data from the Iowa Department of Education re-port show that by most measures, students classi-fied as English language learners on average score well below average along with most non-white stu-dents and those coming from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

With many of the problems in dealing with ac-countability and testing, No Child Left Behind is a miserable failure and needs to be substantially re-vised so that it will actually help struggling schools educate their students.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORA time to reflect on domestic violence

I’ve been told my mother had a big personality. My family is never short on stories that describe Mom as adventurous, outgoing, resourceful, loving, and very vocal of her beliefs. Unfortunately, I can never say I knew her this way. For every story that is added to the beautiful and undoubtedly tumultuous story of my mother’s life, my task of understand-ing her legacy seems more impossible to complete.

Oct. 26 marks 16 years since my mother was killed by her estranged husband, my father, when I was only 4 years old.

This single event has shaped me more than anything. Every facet of my life has been undeniably linked to this loss, from the obvious to ways I still do not fully appreciate.

When I am asked how my parents are, I immediately think of my aunt, the woman who chose to raise me without a moment’s hesitation. When I look at my last name, it is not my given name, rather a chosen reflection of my mother and her family. Regular events — band concerts, school plays, football games, high-school dances, family vacations, and holidays — come and go with full knowledge important people have been missing. I follow and scrutinize the criminal legal system and our lawmakers

unlike many others of my age. I look at the loss of a loved one from a completely different perspective. I look at myself and see someone who has it much better off than others who experienced this pain. I look at my father and still have not decided what I think.

October marks National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. My story is far from an uncommon one. The Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Vio-lence estimates 15.5 million children live in homes where they witness and live under the threat of domestic violence and abuse. The National Coalition reports that one-third of fe-male homicides stems from domestic violence. Statistics show that one man

and over three women are killed every day in this country by an intimate partner. Chronically underreported, and more often ill-understood, domestic violence leaves an impact that survives decades.

Whether it takes the shape of domestic homicide, physical abuse, or emotional neglect, take a moment this next month to reflect upon those affected. For me, this time of year has no reason to be pleasant or enjoyed, yet I still take comfort knowing that I have the resources and support system that has done more than could be asked for 16 years and I know many more to come.

UI greek life poorly integrated

It’s common for Univer-sity of Iowa students to consider greek life. How-ever, not much thought is given to each chapter’s racial demographics.

Recently, the University of Alabama’s National Panhellenic Conference sororities have received negative attention. The 16 chapters have been ac-cused of not extending an invitation to two students because of their race.

Such news is troubling. To think young women can preach acceptance and sisterhood, then be in-tolerant to those who are “different” is disappoint-ing. Although Alabama is a state with a long history of racial intolerance, the location of this injustice should not be an excuse to not hold the university’s chapters accountable.

I considered greek life as a possibility to create a bond with my peers. I think sororities and frater-nities are meant to foster positive relationships and help students learn about themselves, but I’ve

also wondered how such a thing is possible when greek organizations often practice de facto segrega-tion.

At the University of Iowa, greek life is com-posed of four council executive boards — Inter-fraternity Council, Pan-hellenic Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, and Multicultural Greek Coun-cil — which oversee the universities fraternities and sororities.

According to the UI’s 2013 Council Publication, Multicultural Greek Coun-cil includes “Latino/a-, Asian-, and LGBT-based chapters” and National Pan-Hellenic Council includes “seven of the “Divine Nine” historically African-American frater-nities and sororities.” The Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council, on the other hand, are traditionally predominant-ly white.

None of UI’s chapters blatantly discriminate when recruiting new members, but there is an unspoken rule when it comes to showing inter-est. Many white students choose to stick within the realm of Panhellenic Council and Interfraterni-ty Council organizations, while non-whites remain under the umbrella of

National Pan-Hellenic Council and Multicultural Greek Council.

My question is, why?The organizations have

yet to be fully integrated. And no, the token black girl in a pledge class of 30 white girls does not count. It can be intimidating to be in the minority and see no one who looks like you.

As a black person at-tending a predominantly white institution, I often feel out of place. I’d like to see Latinos, Asians, blacks, and other groups fully represented in all UI chapters.

While it is unlikely that greek life will readily in-tegrate anytime soon, the thought is worth contem-plating. After all, we talk so much about living in a post-racial society. Some of my peers even tell me race is not an issue because a black man is president.

UI President Sally Mason said in a recent DI interview, “We’ve been an institution that I think has been very welcoming to minorities, and more and more on our campus, the diversity is such that it is hard to see who’s a minority and who’s not anymore.”

If only they could open their eyes.

It’s easy to say there’s no segregation in greek

life. But if this is the case, why is it year after year, greek organizations are predominantly made up of one race or another?

Unfortunately, racial diversity is not a priority for a lot of us. We often practice color-blindness and do not question why we have racially homoge-nous friendships.

We choose to not ques-tion tradition; instead, we simply go along to get along. Part of maturing and relieving ignorance, however, is creating bonds with those of a different race and not only under-standing, but appreci-ating our very different realities.

UI’s greek councils and individual chapters need to do a better job of recruiting members from different racial back-grounds. They could start by making the recruit-ment process for all four greek council chapters equally visible on campus.

Prospective members should also do their part in showing interest in the different organizations by attending events and familiarizing themselves with the different councils. Not only will this end segregation by choice, but students may also learn to build and appreciate more interracial relationships.

“For many Americans, that was the dramatic moment,” McGovern said. “For many independent schools they had already started that school year, and parents had already paid tuition, so they weren’t going to take their kids out of school.”

As the economic out-look for the country slow-ly increases, local private schools are starting to see the effect of that.

“[In the past] we had a waiting list throughout the entire elementary school,” said Lee Iben, the president of Regina Cath-olic School. “If you went back 15 years, when you found out that you were pregnant, you got your kids name on the waiting list at Regina.”

Iben said prior to the recession, Regina’s enroll-ment was approximately 900 students, excluding the preschool. This year, he said, it’s at around 820 students with 90 pre-schoolers.

According to the United

States National Center for Education Statistics, en-rollment in private schools for students in preschool through 12th grade has been decreasing since 2001. From 2008 to 2009, after the recession hit, en-rollment dropped by 219 students nationally.

Joe McTighe, the execu-tive director of the Council for American Private Ed-ucation, said on a nation-al level, religious school enrollment has taken the hardest hit.

“I guess the big story over the last five years has been the decline in Cath-

olic school enrollment,” he said. “Particularly on ur-ban Catholic schools. A lot of inner city parents were not able to afford those tu-itions.”

Nationally, for Catholic schools, between the 1989-1990 and 2010-2011 school years, there has been an 11.4 percent enrollment decrease.

Regina, Heritage Chris-tian School, Montessori School of Iowa City, and Willowwind School all have seen consistently high demands for enroll-ment in their preschool program, but even that

has been negatively im-pacted by the growth of public preschool programs.

“Part of our variance, that we’re aware of, has to do with the inclusion of preschool programs within the public-school system,” said Connie Guiberson, head of the School at Mon-tessori. “[Also] families are changing … in regard to working at home and who is available to be at home.”

Despite the general de-creases in enrollment na-tionally and locally, one lo-cal school has not felt the effects of the recession like other schools. Heritage

has seen an 80 percent increase in enrollment in the past nine years.

The 2009-10 school year marked the first year for Heritage in their newly built facility to accommo-date increased enrollment. Their growing pains did not stop there, though.

“If we continue to grow at this same rate at which we’ve been growing, we’re going to be filling this building to capacity,” said Heritage Principal Mike Annis. “We don’t have any additional classroom space in which to expand in this current building.”

“When you’re down-town, you can’t get wast-ed, black-out drunk like you can at house parties,” Gallagher said. “It doesn’t fly. It’s just not the envi-ronment.”

However, in a recent interview with The Daily Iowan, UI President Sally Mason addressed this con-cern as a nonissue.

“We track our own stu-dents’ behaviors, and we’ve certainly seen de-creases in everything from binge drinking to arrests,” she said. “Everybody said it would just mean there would be lots more wild house parties, and while I think there are probably more house parties, we ha-ven’t seen the incidents of those go beyond anything that wasn’t realistic.”

According to a spring report from the American College Health Assess-ment, alcohol use at the UI has decreased signifi-cantly since 2009 and is now reportedly at the low-est level in more than 20 years of data collection.

However, the grand to-tal of alcohol-related in-cidents on campus, both criminal and noncriminal, have increased from 1,046 in 2009 to 1,719 in 2012, a recent statistical report by UI police indicated.

The meeting also ad-dressed the ordinance’s economic effect on bar own-ers in downtown Iowa City. Many bar owners stand

with the Young Americans for Liberty and wish to re-peal the ordinance.

“I think anything that will drive more legal vol-ume to all of the bars and the restaurants down-town, I think [all the bar owners] would be in favor of that,” said Airliner own-er Jim Rinella. “I think

anything that diminishes the volume of business makes it very hard, be-cause there are certain economics of business that you have to think about.”

But Kelly Bender, the campus-community harm reduction initiatives co-ordinator for the UI, said while bars and nightclubs

lose business due to the ordinance, other busi-nesses have room to grow downtown.

“There’s a lot of things in the pipeline that are being planned, that there wasn’t space for in the previous environment that was taken over by mostly nightclubs when

we were an underage drinking destination,” she said. “There’s just been so much progress that it just doesn’t make any kind of common sense to say let’s repeal this progress at this time.”

UI senior Adam Tar-leton, who attended the meeting, thinks that the is-

sue comes down to freedom and what defines an adult.

“Essentially, I think it’s more of when you’re 18, you’re an adult, and you have a right to go to the bars and do what you want,” he said. “I don’t think you should be pun-ished just because of your age.”

house, the UI’s Lamda Chi Alpha chapter, has similar practices.

UI sophomore Zachary Zwierz, the Zeta Beta Tau president, said the idea of changing views of frater-nities campus-wide is one

of the group’s goals for the year.

“We want everyone to feel equal from the day they’re initiated, and that really spoke to a lot of the freshmen,” he said. “I think as a whole [pledging is] not really needed.”

Zwierz said the fraterni-ty will seek a house in the future, but the members are not sure when. He also

said they have plans to work with a philanthropy group called Get on the Ball, which benefits the Children’s Mir-acle Network.

The members will also create a fundraiser where they will bring a 6-foot in-flatable ball to campus, roll it around, and gain student signatures. For each signa-ture, Get on the Ball will donate 10 cents to the Chil-

dren’s Miracle Network.Zwierz said the chap-

ter hopes to pursue this fundraiser in the late fall or early spring of this aca-demic year.

Dan Wrona, the inter-im associate director at the Center for Student In-volvement & Leadership, said it is important for greek life at the UI to con-tinue to expand.

“It’s a good sign that the [greek] community is doing what it should be doing and making good prog-ress,” he said.

David Lerner, director of expansion at Zeta Beta Tau headquarters, said Ze-ta Beta Tau stands for in-tellectual awareness, social responsibility, integrity, and brotherly love.

And even though the fra-

ternity was founded to be Jewish, not all members have to practice Judaism. As of now, only one person in the UI Zeta Beta Tau colony is Jewish.

“[Zeta Beta Tau] will re-cruit and initiate men of good character, regardless of religion, race or creed who are accepting of these principles,” Lerner said in an email.

TEDx to make its way to the UI in October

A form of academ-ic discussion that has swept the nation, TEDx, will make its first Uni-versity of Iowa appear-ance next month.

TEDx is a set of conferences that take place around the coun-try. These events allow communities, organi-zations, and individu-als a chance to share their voices through inspiring stories and experiences at a local level.

The conference will take place in the IMU second-floor ballroom on Oct. 12 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Because TED en-courages every event to be interdisciplinary, the UI chose its TEDx theme to be “excel.”

“We thought that [having the excel theme] is a really nice way to make it unique to our campus,” said Paul Mintner, the co-ordinator of leader-ship programs for the UI Center for Student and Leadership. “We want people to excel both personally and professionally, and the people we’re going to have talk at this event have done that them-selves and are going to be sharing a little about that.”

UI senior Anthony Ferguson was chosen out of 22 applicants to be the TEDx student speaker.

“I’m kind of a person, when I see an opportu-nity, I try to jump on everything and like being involved in tons of stuff,” he said. “It’s

always been my dream to publicly speak in front of someone and share my personal stories, so I just went ahead and applied, not really knowing com-pletely what I was get-ting myself into, but knowing that I really wanted to share some-thing.”

Not wanting to give away too many details, Ferguson said his top-ic will be his own story based on excelling and overcoming barriers in his life, which allowed him to join different organizations and eventually prevail at the UI.

Along with Fergu-son, there will be sev-en other nonstudent speakers who all have affiliations with the UI.

The 100 tickets

available for the UI students sold out al-most entirely on the first day.

The tickets were sold in proportion to the population of the un-dergraduate and grad-uate students, mean-ing 75 of the tickets went to undergradu-ate students while the remainder was sold to graduate students.

Mintner said that the reason behind having only 100 seats available is to con-trol the quality of the event.

“[TEDx] didn’t want to just give its name to something and not turn out in the stan-dards of what it has,” he said.

Between February and late March of this year, the UI was granted the license

and conducted the ac-tual planning.

Both graduate and undergraduate stu-dents assisted in the planning.

“Everything from the planning has been re-ally organized and ev-eryone in the commit-tee has worked really hard to get this roll-ing,” said Jack Cum-ming, the vice pres-ident of UI Student Government. “Oct. 12 is going to be some-thing really special.”

The University of Iowa will host its first ever TEDx talk next month.

The Hawkeyes slow starts and second period successes can be partial-ly attributed to the team’s halftime adjustments, Iowa head coach Tracey Gries-baum said. However, she would like to see her play more of a complete game.

“We want to start strong and finish stronger,” the 14-year head coach said. “I think there’s a greater sense of urgency [in the second half].”

How do the 5-3

Hawkeyes translate that sense of urgency and success after the break into the first half? Dani Hemeon has scored 2 of her 3 goals in the latter period this season. The junior thinks the first five to 10 minutes of the game are pivotal in setting the tone for the remainder of the time.

“A lot of times we’ve just started off a little slow, and then, eventual-ly, we kind of keep on this uphill grind,” the Gilroy, Calif., native said. “And then in the second half we just do very [well].”

All three of Hemeon’s

scores have come on pen-alty corners, another sta-tistic that is skewed for Iowa. The team has taken 22 in the second half as opposed to 18 in the first.

That metric goes hand-in-hand with shots. If the Hawkeyes are taking more shots in a given peri-od, they will be on the at-tack more and draw more corners, which means more scoring chances.

With Big Ten play be-ginning this weekend, sophomore Natalie Cafone is looking for her team to step up and put every-thing together during con-ference play. She said the

added level of competition is a strong challenge for the Hawkeyes.

Griesbaum echoed Ca-fone’s statements, say-ing one of the Hawkeyes’ main focuses in their 6-0 rout of Kent State on Sunday was to get out and attack early — which the Hawks did. The team scored two goals in the first 11 minutes of the match, one of them com-ing from Cafone at the 1:50 mark.

“[We need to] play a full game,” Cafone said. “I just think that we need to play 70 minutes and as a team.”

ered an “error” by NCAA standards? In fact, there are a multitude of actions that are officially scored as errors by game score-keepers, which includes attacking errors such as touching the ball more than three times per side on a volley, hitting the ball out of bounds on the opponents side, and serv-ing into the net.

“[Attacking errors] are one of the big problems we have,” junior Alex Lovell

said. “We can’t afford to have that many errors and keep making them, espe-cially once Big Ten play starts and we start to face teams that don’t make as many errors as we do. We still want to be aggressive, but we have to be more careful as well.”

One good barometer for looking at the effect too many errors can have on a team is hitting percent-age, which is calculated by taking the total number of kills, subtracting errors, and dividing it by total at-tempts. Because Iowa fin-ished with the third-most errors in the Big Ten last

season, it’s not surprising that its .165 hitting per-centage was dead last in the conference.

Having said that, it is something that the team and Dingman have been working to correct.

“After we saw that we had a lot of mistakes and areas we need to work on, we’ve been in the gym ev-ery day this week working on our bumping and work-ing on our setting,” senior Bethany Yeager said. “We have also done a lot of in-dividual work working on receiving serves better and getting better at passing.”

The one positive take

away from all this is that at least you can say that the Hawks have their work cut out for them and that they have no-where to go but up. The 9-3 Hawkeyes are only one win shy of surpassing their total of ten from last year, and hopefully more commitment to smarter play will correlate to more wins in the Big Ten.

“Errors will come and go, but I think as long as we can keep improv-ing our passing and keep serving hard we’ll be able to eliminate a lot of those errors,” sophomore Erin Radke said.

Something’s afoot with 2 Hawks

Iowa forwards Cloe Lacasse and Ashley Catrell are the driving force behind the Hawks’ offense.

By JacoB Sheykojacob-sheyko@uiowa.edu

Looking into a box score after an Iowa soc-cer match, one is bound to find Iowa forwards Cloe Lacasse and Ashley Catrell involved in some scoring play.

The two forwards were the driving force behind Iowa’s attack last sea-son, and this season is no different. Through the nine games played this season, the duo is lead-ing the team in points with nine each.

“I think there’s an un-derstanding of what type of balls they like to play to each other and there’s a good understanding of when somebody is taking on someone one on one, where the other person has to be moving to get a pass,” head coach Ron Rainey said. “Those have been good things we’ve

seen in games as well.” Lacasse and Catrell’s

main role is to create goal-scoring opportu-nities. As a whole, the Hawks have excelled in this aspect of the game. In their nine games this season, Iowa has outshot their opponents 150 to 65.

Most of these goal-scor-ing opportunities have come from the feet of Lacasse and Catrell. Of those 150 shots Iowa has attempted, 65 of them have come from the two teammates.

The duo of Lacasse and Catrell wasn’t always such a potent aspect of the Hawks offense. In 2011, while Lacasse was excelling as a freshman on the field, Catrell saw limited playing time.

But as the 2012 season rolled around, Catrell earned a starting role and the increased play-

ing time that came with it. The two clicked and led Iowa to 12-6-3 re-cord and combined for 20 goals and 11 assists.

“I’ve become more con-fident from last year,” Catrell said. “Especial-ly being a senior, just knowing my role and be-ing a team leader for the younger kids.”

The two have brought their experience of last year into this season — combining for 5 goals and 8 assists.

“We’ve had the experi-ence together so it was a good transition,” Lacasse said. “We know what each other’s strengths and weaknesses are so we can play off of them and help each other out.”

For Catrell, the differ-ence in this season comes down to being more com-fortable on the field and knowing how to play off of each other.

“After these years to-gether we kind of know where were going to be,” Catrell said. “I know where Cloe’s going to make a run for me to play it to her. Or I know where to get open as she takes the ball down the line.”

One aspect the duo has improved upon last sea-son is their passing — or at least judging by the stat sheet. Catrell cur-rently has three assists on the year and Lacasse has collected five of her own — approaching their previous season-highs of four and seven, respec-tively.

“It’s definitely some-thing we’ve practiced,” Lacasse said. “Any offen-sive player knows that goals or assists are the same thing as long as they going in the back of the net. It’s something we take great pride in.”

half to 48 yards allowed per contest.

Iowa’s players noticed the slip in kick coverage efforts, too. Iowa safe-

ty Tanner Miller remi-nisced about the returns former Hawkeyes Tim Dwight and Andy Brodell accumulated during their careers, and no-ticed how Iowa seemed to deviate from that recipe for success. But Miller, a senior, was also a part of

Iowa teams that had the poor special-team record, and is able to see the im-provement the Black and Gold have made in that aspect over the years.

“Back in the early 2000s, we were excellent on spe-cial teams,” Miller said. “I think for the last four or

five years, we’ve kind of gotten away from that. In the off-season, Coach said we were going to spend the needed amount of time on special teams.

“I think we’ve do-ne that and I think we’re starting to see improvement.”

V-ball works on errors

By Ben Ross benjamin-d-ross@uiowa.edu

There was a point in time where special teams appeared to be the bane of existence for the Iowa football team.

Coverages seemed to get blown all the time. Special teamers didn’t stay in their lanes. Attempting an onside kick against Iowa was a freebie.

But with a new season came a new special-team coach for the Iowa football program. Former running backs and spe-cial-team coach Lester Erb departed Iowa for the same position at Nevada. Chris White replaced Erb, who spent his 2012 coaching special teams for the NFL’s Min-nesota Vikings.

White had excellent success in Minneso-ta; the Vikings averaged 9 yards per punt return, and 27 yards per kick return. Mar-cus Sherels returned one punt for a touch-down in 2012, and Percy Harvin brought a kickoff back 105 yards to the house.

“I enjoy playing for Coach White; I enjoy

having him,” Iowa captain James Morris said. “He brings a fresh approach to spe-cial teams and I think you’re maybe seeing some of the results in last week’s game.”

Those results Morris is talking about came in the best form possible: touchdowns.

Iowa punt returner and wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley took two punts to the house against Western Michigan on Sept. 21, becoming the first Iowa player to accomplish such a feat.

“It was a lot of fun, that’s one word to de-scribe it,” Martin-Manley said. “I was smil-ing from ear to ear and I was celebrating with the other guys. The first thing is to catch the ball, and then make plays.”

Martin-Manley had a lot to smile about. He ended the day with 184 punt return yards against the Broncos, 18 short of Nile Kinnick’s record, set in 1939.

Iowa has already exceeded its punt re-turn total yardage from 2012 by 99 yards. Micah Hyde returned 16 punts all of last year, and gained 119 yards. Martin-Man-ley has fielded seven punts this season,

and has gone 218 yards in four games. “I think we’re moving forward,” Iowa

head coach Kirk Ferentz said about the status of his special teams unit in 2013. “And that was one of the good things about Saturday beyond the returns. That’s obvi-ous, that part. But the best part about the returns, Kevonte’s effort was good, but the best part to me was the 10 guys away from the ball were doing a good job. And then there were a lot of the things I think sub-tly that took place on special teams that were encouraging. We’re not there yet, but at least we’re I think starting to make some strides. That was a concern a couple weeks ago, a big concern.”

And what Ferentz addressed — the 10 guys away from the ball — is what has been biting Iowa in the rear on special teams of years past. But the improvement is there. In 2011 Iowa allowed an average of over 100 kick return yards on kick re-turns. In 2012 that number dropped by over

The volleyball team is committed to bucking the trend of making costly errors in games.

By Ryan RodRiguez ryan-rodriguez@uiowa.edu

Volleyball is a fast game. Volleys take place in rapid succession and at a lightning pace. As a result, the smallest slip-up or mental error can end up costing a team dearly, something the Iowa volley-ball team knows all too well.

The 9-3 Hawkeyes have been playing much stronger

volleyball since last year in the eyes of many. Howev-er, their Achilles heel seems be they are prone to errors. Throughout the course of the 2012 season, the Black and Gold recorded more than 700 errors, and with 244 through 12 matches so far this year, they are on pace to surpass that number.

“We have to work on it,” head coach Sharon Dingman

said. “We’ve been designing some drills recently to help combat these issues. I think everyone on the team needs to understand the impact they make, and not just the impact but also what’s going on around them. It’s some-thing we definitely need to get better at.”

But what exactly is consid-

By danny paynedaniel-payne-1@uiowa.edu

Take a look at Iowa’s shots, goals, and penalty corners per half, and you will see some very lopsided numbers.

Statistically, the first period has been a lot slower than the second. As far as shots go, the No. 14 Hawkeyes have put 11 more on the net after the intermission, 61-50. Out of those shots, 15 have gone in during the second half, while only eight have found the back of the net before half-time.

This trend has been especially evident in the Hawkeyes matchups with Wake Forest on Sept. 7 and also in their Sept. 13 meeting with Cen-tral Michigan. Against the Demon Deacons, the Hawks scored the con-test’s only goals in the second half and took five more shots.

Keeping on trend in the match with the Chippewas, Iowa exploded for five second half scores after be-ing outplayed in the early moments of the contest and taking a 2-1 lead into the break.

See Field hockey , 7A

Iowa has taken more shots and penalty corners and scored more goals in the second half.

Iowa cornerback B.J. Lowery was named the Jim Thorpe Defensive Back of the Week after returning 2 inter-ceptions for touchdowns during Iowa’s 59-3 romp over Western Michigan.

The announcement was made Wednesday by the Jim Thorpe Association. The Jim Thorpe Award is a member of the National College Football Awards Association, which encompasses the most prestigious awards in college football.

Lowery, a senior from Cincinnati, added 4 tackles to his totals against Western Michigan. His first intercep-tion return went 35 yards for a score. Lowery’s second one took just 13 yards before reaching the end zone.

Lowery becomes the first Hawkeye with 2 interception return touch-downs in a single game. He’s also just the second Big Ten football player to do so since 1998. Lowery has snared 3 interceptions in the last two games.

Iowa (3-1) begins Big Ten play Saturday against Minnesota (4-0) for the annual battle for the Floyd of Rosedale. Game time is 2:36 p.m.

EX-HAWK BUSH HONORED

Former Iowa wrestler and NCAA champion Pete Bush was just recently selected into the Glen Brand Hall of Fame. The 2014 class was announced Wednesdat by the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum.

Bush is one of five inductees selected. He won the 190-pound NCAA championship in 1982, helping Iowa to its then-fifth-straight team championship. Bush also won three Big Ten champion-ships in 1981-82 and 1984.

Bush is the head wrestling coach at Davenport Assumption, where he led the team to a traditional state championship back in 2011. He led the team to three straight state dual championships from 2011-13. Bush was also an Iowa prep-wrestling champion at the same school in 1979.

Along with Bush, the 2014 Hall of Fame Class includes two-time Northern Iowa All-American Joel Greenlee, four-time Iowa State All-American Al Nacin, four-time Iowa high-school state champion Mack Reiter and former New Hampton and West Waterloo high school coach Finn ericksen.

In addition to adding its new mem-bers, the Hall of Fame will also present special awards to the Bill and Bea Gibbons family, Chris Krueger, and Steve and Linda Wachal at the banquet on June 7.

The Glen Brand Wrestling Hall of Fame of Iowa was established in 2002 to honor those who have had an effect on the sport on a national level or who have done extraordinary work in Iowa. The hall recognizes native-born Iowans and those who achieved their fame while wrestling or coaching for an Iowa school.

“You know of them.”Maria Vorhis’ words, describing University of Iowa se-

niors Emily and Elizabeth Hinkler, ring true for countless students on campus. A slight woman with cropped short brown hair trudging around campus may not stand out too much, but when she is joined by a twin and performing on stage in front of hundreds, they attract some attention.

The Iowa City area at large will have a chance to see both Hinklers perform this weekend in Janet Schlap-kohl’s new show, My Sister, at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the 172 Theater Building.

“It’s a story of two sisters who have the same dream and about their journey to achieve that dream,” Emily Hinkler said.

The scenario is fitting for the Hinkler sisters, given that both are majoring in theater and plan on continuing to pur-sue careers in acting after graduation in May. The question swirling around the pair all year has been will they go their separate ways to pursue their dreams next year?

“We are sticking together,” Emily Hinkler said.Not surprising, considering the two women are often

together and could not complete this interview without completing each other’s sentences.

Elizabeth Hinkler shares her sister’s belief.“It’s more marketable. We like each other,” she said,

smiling over at her sister in their dorm room. “We work really well together.”

Up and coming rapper Kid Ink will bring his lyricism and outstand-ing layered production to the Blue Moose, 211 Iowa Ave., at 7 p.m. Friday. Ad-mission ranges from $22 to $25.

Kid Ink’s words are backed by booming mel-odies that are driven to fit any atmosphere and influenced by super pro-ducers Timbaland and Pharell. The Daily Iowan had the chance to talk with Kid Ink and ask him about his career and the competition in the hip-hop industry.

Daily Iowan: How early did you start rap-ping verses and creating songs?

Kid Ink: Probably around 16, 17 years old when I started getting into music. I saw produc-ers making albums, and that got me really into it. People like Timbaland and Pharrell really influ-enced me, but it took me a couple years to master it. I started as a produc-

er, but then I started to write more. From there, I went and bought all the music equipment, and then I started to focus on mix tapes.

DI: What kind of artis-tic approach did you take with your most recent EP, Almost Home?

Kid Ink: It was a focus for the summer. All the records on there were for the summer. The vibe was a party vibe, clubbing all night, things like that. And then you got going with the beach vibe and staying in the sunlight. I just tried to incorporate all those things.

DI: What did it mean for you to be named the 2012 XXL Freshman Class?

Kid Ink: That was mad cool. It was a good experi-ence to not only be one of the only people from my city but also represent-ing the West Coast. Being in the face of more East Coast publications, and out in New York a lot, I got a new scene away from home. It doesn’t hurt to be on a magazine cover, either [laughs].

DI: Who would you say your biggest influences are in the rap game?

Kid Ink: As far as I know, Jay Z is the best. He is at the top of his ca-reer as a rapper and lyr-icist. I look up to Kanye and Pharrell, who have the production mind frame because that’s the way I go about my vers-es, to not always making it hard-core hip-hop but to fit into all genres and

just have fun.DI: Describe what Up

& Away did for your ca-reer.

Kid Ink: It was awe-some. It gave me power with label signing, be-cause from there, I got to show and prove. Giv-ing music away for free is one thing, but I had to prove that I could actual-ly sell units and albums on iTunes. The label has to look at that and say, “Wow, there’s some move-ment there.” I didn’t want to be a mix-tape artist.

DI: What’s the pro-cess when working with someone such as Chris Brown?

Kid Ink: I just reached out to him and wanted to know if he would send me some records and, hope-fully, book a session be-cause we were both in LA. He came to the studio — his vibe is sit down, listen to the music, and get in the zone. I put on the first record, because I knew it was the strongest, and he knocked it out in like 30 minutes.

DI: Do you have any plans for another project to come out soon?

Kid Ink: I’m working on an album, coming out in December called My Own Lane; the first sin-gle dropped, and it’s do-ing well. I’m almost done with it, I’m confident in it, and the production is good. We’re just looking for certain features. It will show a lot of growth from the EP — it’s going to have its own vibe and represent Kid Ink.

Oktober comes early to IC’s North Side By Emma mcclatchEyemma-mcclatchey@uiowa.edu

The legendary Oktober-fest of Munich, Germany, is the largest festival in the world, an autumnal explosion of tents and cos-tumes, activities and food, culture and history — and, of course, beer.

Iowa City’s North Side Oktoberfest has yet to at-tract 6 million visitors to town, but the 3-year-old event, beginning Saturday, reflects local culture much like its German predeces-sor.

“It has become a true town celebration,” said Doug Alberhasky, the Ok-toberfest organizer and owner of John’s Grocery, 401 E. Market St. “Most people think of Oktober-fest in Munich as just a beer festival, but it’s really like the Iowa State Fair.”

With down-home food, drink, music, and family games as defining aspects of the Munich tradition, North Side business own-ers found Oktoberfest to be an ideal custom to emu-late as well as a good way to expand on Brewfest, a renowned beer festival organized by Alberhasky that is entering its 18th year.

“When you think of Io-wa City, most people think of the University of Iowa, but the town was actu-ally built on beer,” said Alberhasky, who is a sev-enth-generation Iowa City resident. “There were lots of Bohemian and German immigrants who settled in Iowa City [in the mid- to late-1800s], so you had lots of brewers in the ar-ea around John’s Grocery. Beer has been a lifeblood … and a lot of people have lost sight of that.”

Pit Smokehouse owner Tim Fischer said compos-ing a fall festival to ac-knowledge Iowa City’s his-toric North Side — home to such local bedrocks as Hamburg Inn, Pagliai’s Pizza, and John’s Gro-cery — has united locals around Oktoberfest.

“The whole goal is to emphasize the neighbor-hood and all the busi-nesses in it,” Fischer said. “I’m pretty confident that everyone in the neighbor-hood has fallen in love with it, and every year we have grown.”

Part of this growth has included partner-ships with such local organizations as the UI Credit Union, the Iowa Children’s Museum, the Englert Theater, Hos-pice, UI Dance Mara-thon, and the American Heart Association, which provide activities, infor-mation, and 400 volun-teers. In return, the pro-ceeds from Oktoberfest — $26,000 over the past two years — are donat-ed to these participants, and this year will benefit the American Heart As-sociation and Children’s Museum in Coralville.

“It’s a tremendous help for us,” said Jill Franz, the developmental coor-dinator at the Children’s Museum. “[Oktoberfest] is good for all ages, even the little ones that are just starting to walk.”

The festival added a new sponsor this year as well: the Iowa City Down-town District. Operations director for the district Betsey Potter said it was only natural to encourage an event that highlights Iowa City’s “cultural vi-brancy” — even if it is off downtown’s beaten trail.

“The North Side Mar-ketplace is only separat-ed [from downtown] by a block, but people say it’s the longest block ever with all the university buildings in between,” she said. “They don’t have as much traffic, so it’s a little calmer, and the businesses mix in-to the residential area. There’s a great historic character preserved in that area, and it’s just a short walk away.”

With the help of the Downtown District, Mar-ket Street will be closed for the BrewFest on Saturday — which will feature more than 500 different local, national, and international craft beers, including a rare keg of the Norwegian beer Vikings Blood — and Iowa’s highest HD television will show the Iowa/Minnesota football game.

Live music from local artists such as Justin Roberts and the Feral-ings will be featured throughout the day, and kids can enjoy various activities, including rock climbing, pumpkin bowl-ing, big-wheel racing, crafts, and face-paint-ing. Adult games include a beer slide, yodeling contest, old-fashioned strong-man contest, keg bowling, and the Munich bar-wench challenge, which involves dressing up as a German maid and racing through an obstacle course to deliver pitchers to tables.

Additionally, dozens of gourmet sodas will be available for tast-ing at SodaFest, while food from 14 North Side restaurants and cafés will be offered. There

will also be North Side history tours conducted by a state archeologist.

“Every year, a new group wants to come in and get involved, and I don’t see any of that faltering,” Fischer said. “It’s really neat how it brought the whole neigh-borhood together, which is kind of a byproduct of it.”

Alberhasky said the attention Oktoberfest generates for the North Side creates a ripple ef-fect that bolsters the health of local business and culture.

“A lot of cities turn every-thing into a strip mall, and they’ve lost their history and culture. Iowa City has maintained that, and a lot of it has been kept in the North Side,” Alberhasky said. “Ok-toberfest may be the only place a 20-something can sit down and have a beer with an 80-something. It’s just a great time for the city to come alive.”

beaver’s night out

Souping up Iowa City with bread bowls, too

All these sick people in Iowa City … And I get looked at funny for not looking like a zombie in class.

For whatever reason, whether it’s because you threw your inhibitions to the wind because they looked oh-so-cute after you champed all of those mugs, shared a smoke with a rando, or even did something entirely inno-cent, like shared a meal or notes … You’re sick.

You know it, your class

knows it, you can’t hide it.

And you’re pretty gross. So take one day off.

Life isn’t slowing down, though, so I thought I’d spend a little time trying to help all my peers who are currently making me use hand sanitizer like a germaphobe.

Besides the typical “increase your liquids,” I thought I would help you with some soul food. And because I’m not counting on you being able to cook, I even found where you can just pick it up and walk home.

Back to that cozy den where your seasons of television shows flow like a river.

Or, if you’re really try-ing to help someone out, I’m not sure there’s a bet-

ter way to do so than to stuff their stomachs with goodness.

When I wanted to make some delicious soup in a bread bowl, I came to a realization.

I can’t make bread, and my Achilles tendon of the kitchen involves broth-y-based dishes. But some-how, I can pull off nearly café-quality dishes. Well, depending on the soup that you put in.

I’m not sick, but this cooler weather requires a little bit warmer nour-ishment than usual. So I wandered into Bread Garden Market. Nothing makes me happier than a warm loaf of carbs. I walked back, follow-ing the smell of cooked bread and the sour-dough bread bowls real-

ly jumped off the rack at me.

But I can’t cook soup …Luckily for them, I

didn’t even want to have to open a can to finish this recipe. I walked over to the food station and found a chicken rice soup, because the other ones looked real-ly unsettling, either being very adventurous or just unsettling under the light, it didn’t make them more appealing to me.

Either way, I went with it and put the soup on a low heat while I cut the top off of the bread, you know, like a bread bowl. That means you gotta scoop out the insides, but it also means you get a bunch of sourdough to snack on while your soup is heating up.

Pour your soup into the

bowl, and feel like a true chef.

Of course, you don’t have to rely on soup from a stand to fill up your bowls. And honestly, for the price and taste, I

would suggest your favor-ite canned soup. But you can’t get the bread bowls from a can … Yet.

Dibs on that idea, but until then, feel better Io-wa City.

Women’s music festivalBy Jennifer HocHjennifer-hoch@uiowa.com

The sometimes brisk au-tumn that has begun to settle over Iowa City can only mean one thing, besides Hawkeye football: the annual Iowa Women’s Music Festival.

Friday will kick off the 20th version of the festival at 7 p.m. at the Johnson County Fairgrounds. Admis-sion is free. The event will continue through Saturday as the community will come together to celebrate female performers from all over the country.

The festival will include a variety of musical acts as well as a comedic perfor-mance by Julie Goldman and a spoken performance by Andrea Gibson. The event will also include a si-lent auction, celebrity fash-ion show, and raffle.

The music genres cov-er anything from God Des and She’s R&B to folk by

Suzanne Vega. Other per-formers include Zoe Lewis, Natalie Brown, and Lojo Russo, to name a few.

“Our intention with the festival is to provide a space for female performers to play,” said Laurie Haag, the event founder.

When the event kicked off, Haag’s goal was to pres-ent a better light for female performers. But 20 years later, Haag said, the event is “celebrating how far women in the arts have come.”

“We’re not putting on the festival for the same reasons that we were 20 years ago,” she said.

Now, it’s more about the music.

Claudia Schmidt, one of this year’s musicians and one of the original perform-ers at the first festival, will play a folk-jazz repertoire. Schmidt, who says she gets inspiration by simply “look-ing around,” looks forward to watching the other acts.

“I am constantly touring and making new connec-tions,” she said. “It’s great to be able to sit back and listen to the other performances and to be a part of it all.”

Lisa Schreihart, a coordi-nator for the event for the past 12 years, said the fes-tival is not like any other in the area.

“Some of these perform-ers come far and wide; you won’t get a chance to hear them live unless you leave Iowa,” she said. “This is our opportunity to bring these artists into the community and give them the chance to perform.”

Schreihart’s favorite as-pect about the festival is the positive energy and the fam-ily-friendly atmosphere.

“When these artists get together, the energy is so great,” she said. “You see some really cool things hap-pen between them. They come and enjoy one another.”

That just left the ques-tion of where to go.

“We are originally from Chicago, and we had in-tended to go there our whole lives, but we were talking to people, and they told us to go to LA,” Elizabeth Hinkler said. “We just want to work, and we want to pursue our dreams. We want to attack it.”

Before heading to the coast, Emily and Eliza-beth Hinkler still have work left in Iowa City to complete, including My Sister, their first project of the semester. The show is a workshop production, meaning it is still in the process of being revised and altered.

“Because we’re seniors, we were trying to think of ways to incorporate our learning, so we made it in-to a workshop,” Elizabeth Hinkler said. “This year’s theme is Human Rights Awareness, and this fit re-ally well.”

Vorhis, the project’s di-rector, was also very en-thusiastic about working on the original script.

“With a workshop, you’re not so tied up in the production — you can focus on the script,” she

said. “It’s much rawer. There’s a lot more free-dom.”

Stripping away much of the technical elements and focusing solely on the show’s message and con-tent allowed for a deep-er understanding of the work.

“It deals with 1934 Ber-lin, so it’s transitioning into the Holocaust,” Eliz-abeth Hinkler said. “A lot of people know about the Jewish side of the Holocaust, but there was a time before that was about taking disabled in-dividuals.”

Elizabeth Hinkler is re-ferring to the Nazi prac-tice of executing those dealing with disabilities to “purify” the human gene pool. Her character, Matilde, has reason to worry, because she has cerebral palsy, and her twin sister, Magda, is perfectly healthy. Magda works in a cabaret per-forming things Matilde has written.

“Emily’s character, even though she is involved in the world, is very naïve about the world and very ignorant of what is going on, while on the other hand, my character chal-lenges the world but is never actually confronted with it,” Elizabeth Hin-kler said. “I’m able to form my own opinions and fight

against the world but only in private.”

While having cerebral palsy seems like a huge aspect of Matilde’s char-acter, Vorhis stresses that she never approached this show as a message piece. While she notes that Matilde’s disability is an aspect of the show, she does not feel it defines her or the show.

“[Matilde’s cerebral palsy] is this prominent factor that everyone else sees, but once you get past that, it’s a super minor factor,” Elizabeth Hinkler said.

Though not defined by her disability, Matilde is somewhat physically lim-ited by it and relies on Magda to care for her. The Hinklers were able to pull from their own lives — Elizabeth Hinkler heavily relied on Emily Hinkler for assistance after tear-ing her ACL during their sophomore year.

“It’s brought up a lot of our past when I tore my ACL and Emily was gone a lot,” Elizabeth Hinkler said. “What do you do when you’re alone and how do you cope? In our relationship, we’re always there if we’re not together, in a way.”

The two have been to-gether for 21 years and joke about their birthday also being their anniversary.

“We’re always thinking about each other,” Emi-ly Hinkler said. “We de-scribe our relationship to each other as like being married. Our relationship is like an old marriage without sex. If Elizabeth injures herself, I’ll take care of her, make her food, do her laundry.”

Their own experiences with separation and re-liance made connecting to their characters and deciding who was to play which character relative-ly simple.

“The experience I had of being alone, not being able to move, really con-nected me to [Matilde],” Elizabeth Hinkler said. “I feel like our relationship is like that, because Em-ily took care of me while I was not moving.”

“I’m like my character because she always has something to do,” Emi-ly Hinkler said. “In the script, I have to take care of Matilde and be the breadwinner.”

The parallels to real life did not end there. By their own standards, there are several personality traits that connect each to their characters.

“Magda is very logis-tical, like Emily is in re-al life, being in charge of everything,” Elizabeth Hinkler said. “However, as with our relationship

in real life, Matilde in the script is in charge in an entirely different way. I’m in charge of connecting on an emotional level. Magda is very naïve in an emo-tional way.”

There are huge differ-ences between the two characters, despite their nearly identical appear-ance. After 21 years to-gether, Emily and Eliza-beth Hinkler can relate to the experience of being viewed as the same per-son.

“People put twins up as a spectacle,” Elizabeth Hinkler said. “When I look in the mirror, I see my own individual. It’s not like one is worse than the other or one is better than the other, which is how people always try to compare us. You are similar, but you can be valued as individuals for the great qualities you possess.”

The sisters both hope audiences will have a bet-ter grasp on that concept after viewing the show.

“I think a great thing [audiences] can take away is a little bit of insight in-to what it’s like to be a twin, because people are always so curious about that,” Emily Hinkler said. “I don’t think we can ever really explain it, because it’s normal to us.”

Vorhis certainly noticed

differences between the two women as the show progressed.

“They’re both incredibly smart, but Emily is more external, and Elizabeth is more internal,” said the 2012 UI graduate. “They’re so on the same page it’s scary. It’s like Elizabeth is the Yin, and Emily is the Yang.”

As Elizabeth and Emily Hinkler, two very differ-ent people, venture out in-to the world in the hopes of accomplishing the same goal, this script seems a perfect parallel to begin wrapping up their college careers.

“It’s just about two sisters trying to live the dream,” Elizabeth Hin-kler said. “Either mean-ing one of them stepping down so the other can pur-sue or trying to fit both of them through that skinny door. What people do for each other when they love somebody — what that means about the pursuit of your dreams and how close your relationship is during such a trying time, even with twins who are so close.

College, here and there, in the U.S. and China

Siqi Wangsiqi-wang@uiowa.edu

Recently, I got a phone call from one of my best friends since high school. She lives in China and attends university in Bei-jing. After our chat, I start-ed thinking about the dif-ferences between college life for a Chinese student here and in China.

Before college:My friend, Zhuo, rep-

resents a large number of traditional university stu-dents in China. They take the college-entrance exam (GAOKAO) at the end of the 12th grade. It is highly competitive and can be tak-en once a year. Only 75 per-cent of 9 million students can be enrolled in college.

International students such as me usually take one “gap” year to study for the American SAT as well as the language exams TOFEL or IELTS. Then we apply for universities in the United States.

how our lives differ:Studying: Students in

Chinese universities are typically required to study in a monitored study room from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. ev-ery week night in order to finish their schoolwork. Admittedly, this is kind of a strict policy, but stu-dents benefit a lot from this enforced study time, because it teaches time management. In the Unit-ed States, the studying time could be less or lon-ger, which totally depends on the students. This practice is obviously more flexible and trains us to be self-disciplined.

Majors: In China, stu-dents choose a major be-fore entering a univer-sity. Students typically do not switch majors, because it makes the pro-cess more difficult. This rule forces us to think deeply about choosing the right major. In the Unit-ed States, we can easily switch between majors in one day or combine two very different majors. I, for instance, study jour-nalism and electrical en-gineering. This would not be possible in China. So I am quite happy with this system, because it allows me to pursue my inter-ests.

Life: In China, we al-ways play cards with our friends during the weekend. And evening entertainment might in-clude karaoke, going to a movie theater, or hitting the bars. In the Unit-ed States, I usually end up at a Chinese friend’s house who is hosting a party. Here, lots of Chi-nese people come togeth-er during the weekend and talk about lots of different topics. Most of us look forward to a long weekend, Thanksgiving holiday, or spring break to take a road trip. For instance, last year, I went to the East Coast with my friends to explore.

Transportation: In China, college students rarely have their own cars, so they almost have zero chance to drive. But most universities are in big cit-ies, where people can get around on public transpor-tation. Here in Iowa City, while I don’t have a car, I often rely on my friends who do have cars in order to get around.

Living arrangements: In China, students need to stay in a dormitory during their four years of university. Usually, there are four to six people in a single room, and women

are separated from men. Though there’s a lack of privacy, this arrangement will help students to learn how to get along with each other and work through conflicts. Those students also enjoy chatting with each other before going to sleep. In the United States, like so many others, I only spent my freshman year in the dorm, then moved to an apartment. I like the personal space and being able to make food for my-self.

As an international stu-dent, I love my life in Iowa City and the American op-portunities I have to expe-rience. Still, I embrace my Chinese roots. My dream is to help establish a Chi-nese-American cultural club here in Iowa City in which we can exchange ideas and have fun together.

Haiku thursday:

The black cat watchesthe calico cat stalking

the black cat “sleeping.”

News: ’nado coming.She dons pink duvet

armor.Surely, she is safe.

Finals Week downtown,students nap in coffee

shops,Zs now, As later.

Stuffed with nervous-

ness,they skinny dip at fat

camp.and hunger for more.

She loudly sneezes.

I say “gesundheit” — OH CRAP

Now she knows I’m here.

Husband eats dinner,

yet who’s manning the baby?

An unfed mother.

He buys her a drink.She turns up her nose

at him.He sees the dried coke.

Uncertain fortunes;hers and mine, but

never ours.We love Chinese food.

The homeless man eyes

through the bakery window

a gingerbread house.
