The University of Northern Colorado (13-4, 7-1 Big Sky) will leave Greeley for four games, the longest road trip of the season, still undefeated on its home court.

I couldn’t help but feel a little sad that many of these kids would rather play video games, watch television or play on a tablet than go outside, play with toys or create artwork. When my parents and grandparents were children, they would spend most of their time outside in the dirt digging up worms, playing baseball, riding bikes or playing in the treehouse they helped build with their dad. The mothers of children more than 30 plus years ago had trouble calling their kids inside the house for dinner, and now it seems as if some parents may struggle trying to get their kids to go outside.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when parents set their babies and toddlers down in front of the television as a form of babysitting. Yes, placing a child in front of a television might keep them still and quiet and prevent mess making around the house—but is it really a wise decision to use it as a form of babysitting? What if the child sits inches away from the screen because you are not watching him or her? How will this affect their eyes? Aren’t kids supposed to make messes, make noise and play with each other? It concerns me because if young children are placed in front of a television set more often than they are encouraged to go outside, what kind of habits will they develop in the future? Are

Campus reacts to President Obama’s statements on sexual assault
Katarina Velazquez
news@uncmirror.com
President Barack Obama addressed sexual assault crimes during his weekly address Saturday and is seeking to raise awareon college campuses. He announced the creation of a White House Task Force to protect students from sexual assault, which would work with college presidents to help make their campuses safer. It also suggested improved law enforcement—including higher arrest, prosecution and conviction rates of sexually based crimes. According to a report from the White House Council on Women women report being a victim of sexual assault. That number does not include the 42 percent of rape crimes that the report states go unreported. President Obama said high sexual assault rates affect every-
one, not merely victims. “Because when a child starts to question their self-worth after being abused, and maybe starts withdrawing… or a young woman drops out of school after being attacked… it’s not just these individuals and their families who suffer,” President Obama said. “Our communities—our whole country—is held back.” Although sexual assault crimes are at an all-time high on college campuses, sexual assault numbers at the University of Northern Colorado are relatively low compared to other schools in Colorado. UNC had two reported forcible rapes between 2009 and 2011, which is a low number when compared to the University of Colorado-Boulder’s 14 reported rapes and Colorado State University’s seven reported rapes over the same period. UNC Chief of Police Dennis Pumphrey said that the UNC Police Department is constantly
patrolling campus for unusual circumstances. He said UNC is extremely safe when it comes to rapes with unknown perpetrators, also known as stranger rape, because there are many resources students can use to help them feel protected while on campus. However according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, 73 percent of sexual assault victims personally know their attacker, and as such they are not as prepared because the attack is unexpected. There are many precautions students should take when preventing sexual assault. Pumphrey said UNCPD encourages people to take a self-defense class to help them feel more comfortCampus Recreation Center offers a self-defense class this semester from 7-9 p.m. each Wednesday. He also said students should be aware of the campus-wide emergency poles and the campus escort system that UNCPD has to
offer for anyone walking on campus after dark. “You’ve got to just use your head,” Pumphrey said. “Make sure you don’t put yourself in a situation where your safety is going to be compromised.” There is a fear that not all colleges are accurate and honest with their reports of sexual assaults on campus, with the intention of saving face and maintaining a popular name. However, Pumphrey said UNC is accurate when revealing sexual assault reports. “Sometimes schools are more concerned about their reputation than sexual assault crimes. I am proud to say our school is different from that,” Pumphrey said. “We feel the information is getting to us.” sistance to sexual assault victims on campus through the Assault Survivors Advocacy Program.

Gina Brillon knows what the audience is thinking. She started her stand up routine on Tuesday at the University Center with fart jokes. Brillon said she’s aware that this isn’t the best way to start off her set, but the jokes are universal— everyone has gone through what she described. “We have all been there, where we can feel it coming,” Brillon said. “We think there may be something else after the initial fart. We need to get out of the conversation or situation that we’re in.”
The small crowd laughed heartily. Although Brillon has been featured on Comedy Central, MTV Tr3s, Chelsea Lately and the Fuse Network, many audience members had never heard of her. Not knowing her name didn’t deter the audience from enjoying her act. “I thought she was really funny, and she was different than the other comedians that I’ve seen,” said Hanna Brost, a junior human services major. “My favorite part was when she was talking about the subway because I’ve been to New York, and the subways are crazy.”

Craft crewing can be a magical world—let’s go exploring Brews and reviews By Austin Hutton
I grew up in a family where my parents’ vices weren’t the usual suspects. My parents weren’t drinkers or smokers; their weakness was Diet Coke. So, as a kid, I wasn’t around beer much. However, there is a story that my parents like to tell me from when I was a baby. We were at my grandparents’ house, and my dad and granddad were talking. My granddad had a beer.

just bad decision making, they decided to see what my infant reaction to a sip of beer would be. They replaced my bottle with a sip of beer and, to their surprise, I loved it and didn’t want to give it back. Bad parenting comments aside, it’s funny to think back to that story and see where I am now as a beer drinker. Growing up, drinking beer was generally looked down upon, and I was always told that beer tastes like “horse piss.” So when I turned 21, I didn’t want to be that guy ordering Bud Light by the dozen just to get a buzz. I kind of wanted to be a beer snob, even before I knew what I was being snobby about. On my 21st birthday my entrance into the craft beer world started with a beer from Mac &
Jack’s Brewery in suburban Seattle. That was the moment that I realized that beer didn’t have to taste like animal waste. I’m now 24, and in three years of drinking craft beer, I’ve tried well over 300 distinct beers. I’ve learned that this industry is one of the most laid-back groups of people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. That doesn’t mean they don’t take their craft seriously. This was never more evident than when I had the opportunity to go to the Great American Beer Festival, where grizzled brewers “fan-girled” over competing brews. It’s like a comic convention but with fewer super villain masterminds and more drunken hop heads. Since GABF I’ve become a
I want to stay in this industry in some capacity and dream of opening my own brewery someday. I’ve also taken steps to become a brewing scientist, which is exactly as awesome as it sounds.

taste. It’s not necessary to jump immediately into the craziest and most unique beers. It’s totally acceptable to order a mild blonde ale if craft beer is a new adventure. If you’re out to a fancy Mexican dinner with spicy foods, a hoppier IPA or pale ale would pair well, but if favorite there are other options. A darker beer like a
porter or a stout pairs better with a heartier meal of steak and potatoes, while lighter styles like wheats and hefeweizens play nicer with your pastas and citrus A common misconception among new beer drinkers is that color has a correlation to how high the alcohol will be.

of a need to be combative in conversations about race. “In America, we don’t like to talk about race,” Jones said. “It’s time we stop alienating ourselves because somebody doesn’t agree with us. Stop thinking ‘If you don’t think like me, there must be something wrong with you.’” One theme of Jones’ address was an urgent need for people to begin living up to their full potential. To make his message personal, he told of the triumph he felt upon to a professor who told him in 1987, “you people don’t tend to do well in graduate school.” Three UNC students who performed at the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration seemed to embody what Jones meant when he said young people in particular should “strive to be the best of the best.” Eboni Coleman and Darian Gray each gave vocal musical performances. Tyrell Allen, a senior Africana studies major, shared some of his
own performance poetry with the audience. Allen said his piece, “We Are Royals (Remix),” was about his struggle to feel validated as a gay black man. “It feels good to honor the legacy, and a part of his work,” Allen said. “I tend to honor the collective effort, in order to promote a collective effort for social action.”

We need to disrupt this a lot more.”

The Bears were down by one nal match, but Andrews said the score wasn’t something he was paying much attention to prior to taking on Longmire. “When I go out there, I don’t see team scores,” Andrews said. “I don’t see we’re down, I don’t see we’re up. When I go out there I’m looking to win regardless of who I wrestle, regardless of where we are, regardless of any score. something that’s in the back of
my mind. It fuels me that much more to succeed.” After two periods, Andrews held a 1-0 lead over Longmire. As the third period began, the roaring crowd got louder, the Bears on the bench began to show their excitement, and Andrews took control. At 1:47, Andrews bumped his lead to three with a near fall and seconds later, he completed a reversal. Andrews and a takedown.

Bears find success at free-throw line Basketball from page 1
UNC Head Coach B.J. Hill said he determines his point guard rotation on a game-by-game basis. “With those two guys it’s all by feel,” Hill said. “Who I think has the energy, defensively more than anything else. When I start seeing them stick to ball it, not having that swagger about themselves, then it’s time for the next guy to get in. To me, sometimes sometimes Corey does. I don’t care who starts, it’s Hill said one goal for the team was to get to the free throw line about 30 times, which the Bears did, making 26-of-31 attempts at the charity stripe. Spence and junior guard Tevin Svihovec both sunk six for a
team high. Senior center Connor Osborne didn’t see any court time; Osborne start- Corey Spence ed Thursday but was put on the bench the rest of the game due to a knee injury. The Bears’ sole loss in conference was at Montana State during the only road trip the Bears have taken during conference play. “It’s good to win at home; we’ve got to do that,” Barden said. “But we can’t get a big head for road games. They’re going to be tough. Everybody says that’s our drop-off point, but we’ve got to just keep playing how we’re playing and practicing hard and carrying it over to the game.”
The Bears will take to the road beginning at Portland State at 8 p.m. Thursday. The Bears return to Butler-Hancock Thursday, Feb. 13 when they host Montana. Portland State has a balanced offensive attack with six players who average at least eight points per game, so the Bears must be prepared to play solid team defense to beat the Vikings on the road. Saturday night, UNC takes on Eastern Washington, which is second behind the Bears in scoring among Big Sky teams.
Up next: at Portland State (8-8, 3-4) 8 p.m. Thursday Portland, Ore.

electronics. These are the types of memories that make me smile the most. You could spend hours on the TV or Internet as a form of entertainment, but how much of it do you remember the next day? I’m guessing not much. You could spend 10 minutes walking around the block with a loved one, and now how much do you remember? Even though you may have spent more time on an electronic device, it seems to be easier to make memories away from an electronic regardless of the amount of time spent. So what can we do to encourage the younger gen-
erations to stay active, engaged and socialized with the world around them? Participate in outdoor activities with them. Play soccer with them. Play tag with them. This and encouraging physical activity will create a bonding experience for you and the child. It benwell as your own. If you are trying to cook dinner and little Timmy is making noise, you may feel tempted to place him in front of the TV to keep him quiet. Resist the temptation. Ask your spouse to take Timmy outside and play with him for 20 minutes. Ask Timmy if he would like to help you make dinner. Perhaps he could wash
potatoes. Or simply smile and admire the fact that Timmy is having fun and just being a kid. There are other ways to keep children occupied and well-behaved rather than giving them a tablet or video game. Electronic devices are fun and entertaining, no doubt, but one should keep in mind that these devices should be used responsibly so we may continue to enjoy time with loved ones, experience life hands-on and simply live. —Jennifer Hazeldine is a junior graphic design major and staff writer for The Mirror.

So when I share my stories regardless of my cultural background, I have a mouth like that, bringing my real life to the stage.”
Other audience members really liked her brand of honest comedy. “I thought it was really funny,” said Tabitha Benton, a sophomore biology major. “I go to all of the comedy shows here so I thought she connected to more real world things. My favorite part was her talking about her background because she shows that its okay to be your background.” Brillon talked about her love of chocolate, her vegetarian college years and how every woman has a crazy side.

Park said the dispensary had visitors from South Dakota, North Dakota, Illinois, Virginia, California, Utah and Wyoming who crossed state borders for the momentous occasion. While many dispensaries in Denver began
selling on Jan. 1, recreational marijuana sales haven’t quite taken off in other areas of the state just yet. “We received our retail license prior (to Jan. 1), but we still needed a few things from the state,” Park said. She said the dispensary had some technology updates and changes to inventory that caused the delay in sales.
