The University of Northern Iowa The University of Northern Iowa, one of the nation's leading institutions of higher learning, is the outgrowth of the Iowa State Normal School established by the General Assembly in 1876. From a single building on a 40-acre campus, the University has grown to include over 40 major buildings, a 723-acre campus, over 500 faculty members and over 11 ,000 on-campus students. During the first 27 years, the school issued teaching certificates requiring 12 weeks to two years of training. In 1903 a four-year curriculum based on high school graduation and leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education was authorized. In 1909 the institution was renamed the Iowa State Teachers College and the government of the College, along with that of the University of Iowa and Iowa State University, was vested in the State Board of Regents, a nine-member body appointed by the Governor. Under the new name, the College attained a reputation as one of the nation's outstanding institutions for preparation of teachers. On July 5, 1961, the Iowa General Assembly on recommendation of the Regents changed the name of the school to the State College of Iowa and redefined its functions to include the offering of liberal arts degrees. On July 1, 1967, the General Assembly on recommendation of the Regents approved university status. The name was changed to University of Northern Iowa and its function was again redefined. Although teacher education remains an important program, the University offers degrees to students majoring in a wide variety of subjects. Thus UNI has two bachelor of arts degrees, one with certification to teach and one without certification. Also, a bachelor of technology degree can be earned with or without certification to teach, and since 1969, the bachelor of music degree has been offered. A bachelor of fine arts degree was approved by the Regents in 1976. An individual studies major enables a student to pursue, with faculty approval, a wide assortment of study areas. The bachelor of liberal studies, the fifth baccalaureate degree, is an external degree made available through the cooperative efforts of the three Iowa Regents universities. This degree was approved by the Regents in 1977. On the graduate level, courses leading to the degree of master of arts in education were offered for the first time in the summer of 1952 and a sixth-year program leading to the specialist degree with a program in science education was inaugurated in 1970. In 1964, the master of arts degree was approved by the Regents. The first master of arts degrees were granted in 1966. The master of business administration degree was approved by the Regents in 1975, and the master of music in 1976. The graduate program was further extended in 1978 with the addition of UNl's first doctoral degree, the doctor of industrial technology. Approval of a second doctoral degree, the doctor of education, was granted in 1983. Mayden works on puzzle; newcomers are key pieces Kim Mayden hasn't put together a jigsaw puzzle for a long time. Considering all the new elements surrounding Panther women's basketball, putting together a team may seem like a puzzle to the first-year coach. Being a new coach with a different outlook and an inexperienced team contributes to the puzzle's degree of difficulty. But Mayden hopes to have put together most of the pieces before the first conference game January 6. "In the early season, we want to get a good look at all our players. I think by the time the conference season rolls around we will have established eight solid players," Mayden said. There are 10 pieces to Mayden's puzzle. Of the 10 players on the Panther roster, six are new to the program. Four are freshmen and two are junior college transfers. The four remaining players have seen action at UNI but only one is a fulltime starter. That lone starter is Lynn Cuvelier Hach, a· 5-11 senior forward from Waterloo, IA, who will be expected to shoulder most of the scoring and rebounding load this season. Hach has the tools to get the job done. She was an Honorable Mention Junior College All-American at North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) in Mason City. In 1983, she was voted Best Junior College Player in Iowa after leading NIACC to the Junior College Nationals in Senatobia, MS. Last season, she averaged 10.4 points and 4.3 rebounds and led the Panthers in scoring seven times, twice scoring 23 points. "She is the best athlete on the team, " said Mayden. "We will look for her to be the hub of the team ." Mayden added that Hach would play either small Mayden expects freshmen Diane Roberts, Deanne forward or off guard and serve as team captain. Runge, Kim Smythe and Stephanie Miller to see action Cathy Bates, a 5-11 sophomore from LeMars, IA, early in the season. Karen Gorman and Anne Otten both played in 19 games last year. Mayden looks for her to played at the junior college level. play the off guard spot and with her outstanding shooting Mayden said her team will look to fast break a~d play take some of the scoring load from Hach. transition basketball whenever possible. She added that Cindy Hanson, a 6-0 senior center, played on the UNI will have some quickness and will use full-court Panthers' 1982-83 squad that went 17-11 . She played in pressure at times. 25 games and averaged 5.5 points and 2.9 rebounds. " I think that Drake, Illinois State and Southern Illinois Hanson will not be eligible until December 21 . She is will battle for the league title," said Mayden. "We won't be expected to be the Panthers' center going into the competitive with the top teams in the league this year, but Gateway Conference season. within the coming years we hope to compete for the Brenda Kappel, a 5-11 junior from Rochester, MN , saw Gateway title. limited action as a sophomore. Because of her college "We can build a stable, competitive, on-going program experience, Mayden thinks she might see action at either here at UNI, if everyone involved in our program is willing the small forward or off guard position. to give 100 percent," Mayden added. "Certainly, the Looking past those four players, experience becomes process will take time and it will not be without pitfalls, very thin . Four freshmen, a sophomore and a junior make setbacks and trying moments. But our attitude is up the rest of the squad. extremely positive and our expectations are realistic.
