ESL classrooms in need of books By Riley Krumpholz news@uncmirror.com
A lack of materials for ESL classrooms in Greeley has prompted a book drive. Heather Quintana, an elementary education major with an ESL emphasis, noticed a lack of books in ESL classrooms last year during her practicum at Martinez Elementary School. ESL, or English as a secondary language, is a term used by professionals in the educational sphere to describe students whose native and primary languages are not English. Among other acronyms, including ELA, English language learners, and CLD, culturally/linguistically diverse students, ESL students range in their English speaking abilities. These students typically move to the United States from non-English speaking countries or speak limited English at home. As a part of her leadership requirement for the Cumbres Program, a preparation program for students pursuing an education degree in addition to an ESL endorsement, Quintana decided to start a book donation project that will benefit ESL classrooms in Greeley. “One of the best ways for these stu-

A book drive will be held throughout October at UNC to benefit ESL classrooms.
dents to work on their English development is the same way that native English speakers improve their language base—through reading books,” Quintana said. But Greeley isn’t the only area suffering from a lack of sufficient reading materials in ESL classrooms. According to the Hispanic studies department, 84 percent of all English language learners in Colorado are Spanish-speaking, and 75 percent of English language learners total in the U.S. are Spanish-speaking, the majority being from Mexico. Caroline Callea, a senior elementary education major at University of Colorado-Denver said she is also familiar
with this classroom dilemma. “Books are very beneficial for nonEnglish speakers,” Callea said. “Books with no or few words help students to grasp the picture and learn language by describing the pictures.” By engaging with illustrations, students are able to form comprehension skills and begin to grasp the English language. With this mass population learning English as a second language, having adequate materials in the classroom is necessary for success. Joanna Sorensen, an English education major seeking a Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages certification, said she is also aware of the im-
portance of having adequate materials. “Students need to be able to access books that are representative of what they are learning and experiencing,” Sorensen said. “Having books in the classroom is a great way for students to enhance their knowledge of the English language in its written form, in addition to the English conventions.” At Martinez Elementary School, ESL teachers work with students from kindergarten to fifth grade. In order to develop language proficiency skills in the classroom, teachers rely on both picture books and chapter books to enhance students’ vocabularies and understandings of the language. “When a student reads something, it is usually for one or two reasons: to enjoy it or to learn from it,” Quintana said. “For these [students], it is especially important they see both purposes in what they are reading.” Chapter books and picture books that are collected will be placed in ESL classrooms for students and teachers to access. Donation boxes have been placed in the school of teacher education office on the second floor of McKee Hall and in the front office of the Humanities and Social Sciences office, located on the bottom floor of Candeleria Hall. Books will be collected through the end of October.
Stress: A factor contributing to eating disorders By Ashley Montano news@uncmirror.com
In times of transition, stress can play a large role in the development of eating disorders among college students. “Stress produces cortisol, a hormone that easily increases your appetite, causing some to overeat,” said Nina Campbell, a senior psychology major. “However, stress can cause this to go the other way around, and some may not have an appetite to eat.” Campbell said she has known students who have been diagnosed with an eating disorder due to stress. She explained that because the topic is not discussed very often, many students may not be aware of the resources available to them. Bonnie Brennan is the senior clinical director of the Eating Recovery Center in Denver. Brennan said that the ERC is dedicated to the treatment of eating disorders at any stage and has treatment programs housed in six facilities across the Denver-Metro area.
“At ERC, we pride ourselves on our unique multidisciplinary treatment philosophy that emphasizes individualized assessment,” Brennan said. “We understand that there is not one specific way to treat eating disorders, and our award-winning experts use evidence-based research to ensure a lasting recovery.” According to Brennan, the center aims to be student-friendly, offering outpatient options during the day and evening and treating patients of different genders, race and ages. Brennan said anorexia, bulimia and binge-eating disorders are the most common eating disorders that occur in college students. Although not an actual eating disorder, “drunkorexia” cases have been rising. Drunkorexia is when individuals restrict their calorie intake–usually for financial reasons–throughout the day, so they can consume more calories from alcohol later. “Drinking on an empty stomach can lead to blackouts and impulsive decision making, such as drinking and driving, risky sexual behavior and aggression,” Brennan said. UNC also provides options for those seeking help. The psychology department offers counseling for all
types of eating disorders at a fair cost to students. Mary Sean O’Halloran, a licensed psychologist as well as a former professor, said disordered eating can lead to an eating disorder. “It’s not severe enough to qualify for an eating disorder diagnosis,” O’Halloran said. “For example, not eating breakfast or lunch, then digging into a bag of oreo’s when ‘starving’ and feeling bad about it. Or emotional eating and grazing all day, when not really tuned into body signals regarding hunger or satiety— people do that a lot. But when it’s chronic and long term, it can lead to an eating disorder.” O’Halloran said students should become more educated on the topic and seek support early. While seeking help may be difficult, it is the most important thing someone struggling with a eating disorder can do, Brennan said. “Our bodies and minds can do amazing things,” Brennan said. “If you are struggling, there is support out there.” For more information regarding support off-campus, visit: http://www.eatingrecoverycenter.com/.

Which country has the highest quality education? HSBC study reveals American parents think Japan and China rank highest By Drew Heiderschiedt news@uncmirror.com
A recent survey from the HSBC, a multinational banking and financial services company, indicates many American parents perceive the quality of education as higher in China and Japan than in universities in the United States. According to the survey, 42 percent of native parents think America has one of the top three education systems in the world, while 51 percent of individuals worldwide feel it is among this ranking. But American parents aren’t the only group who may think foreign universities and colleges offer higher qualities of education. Caroline Rogers, an undeclared freshman, said she also thinks China has a higher quality of education. “I think that the [Chinese] government puts a lot more money into education,” Rogers said. “One general response is
that the grass is greener farther away, and ‘Wouldn’t it be great for my children if they could get a degree from a top Chinese university, but also come back speaking fluent Mandarin?’” said Eugene Sheehan, dean of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences. Sheehan said while some individuals may think the quality of higher education in countries like China and Japan is greater, this perception is false. “The data shows that the U.S. higher educational system is the best in the world. We are not surpassed as a nation by anybody else, no matter what the metric is,” Sheehan said. “If you look at any of the charts for the top universities in the world - and usually it’s based on research, innovation and scholarship - the U.S. dominates those charts. And sure, they start out with Stanford and Harvard, but the university system - universities like the University of Texas or the University of Wisconsin - rank highly on these tables as well. So when they talk about tables of rankings, the U.S. always
tops those charts.” Jingzi Huang, assistant dean of the college of education and behavioral sciences, explained that while there is a clear distinguishable difference between America’s system of education and China’s or Japan’s, that doesn’t necessarily indicate their education systems are of a higher level. “In our classrooms, the professors ask a lot of questions and expect students to actually participate,” Huang said. “They really have a lot of classroom activities that require students to talk, to stand up, to come to the front, to show. There are tons of things that students have to do in our classrooms. In China, it’s very traditional, actually. Even with smaller class sizes, it’s just lecture.” While most American universities and colleges act as conduits for open discussion and an exploration of knowledge, most of the colleges in Japan and China do not prefer this approach of learning. “These other systems are much more linear and hierarchical in how they work, so
the professor is the knowledgeable one in the classroom and he or she imparts knowledge that you’re supposed to absorb and regurgitate back,” Sheehan said. “In the American system, it’s more of a two-way street where, sure, the professor has more of the information, but you’re seen as an active participant rather than a passive participant.” Usually students are given higher expectations in places like Japan and China, which may be one advantage those education systems have over America’s, Huang said. “Quite often, there is a conflict between the student and the teacher,” Huang said. “You know what parents will do in China? They’ll blame the child instead of the teachers. My experience here in the United States, in the K-12 system, is more that the parents will blame the teachers of the schools instead. If we do that often, then the whole society will feel that teachers are not experts or that teachers don’t know what they’re doing and the parents know better. In
China, people view [teachers] as knowing what they are doing.” While there may be many arguments explaining which country has the highest quality of education, Huang said this concept usually falls back on the result of test scores, which may not give the most accurate depiction. “I think in the United States, it’s really the same thing as in China—people really do believe that the test scores indicate how strong you are as a student,” Huang said. “The higher the test score, the better the student you are is the general understanding.” “Of course, in my field, which is education, we know quite often that students associated with the highest of test scores would not always become the type of citizen who would contribute the most to society—in terms of intervention or in terms of creativity,” Huang continued. “Look at all these great people. Quite often they may not be the students who scored the highest.”

Anja Marais: Exploring balance By Trevor Reid
arts@uncmirror.com
When thinking of mythology, most people picture ancient writers. Anja Marais, a South African artist now featured at the Mariani Gallery in Guggenheim Hall, is breaking that stereotype. Building a mythos through her exhibit “The Ballast,” Marais constructs a tale of the human struggle to find balance. Using photographs from her short film “Cathedral,” Marais ties together the works in her exhibit to present various aspects of this myth to viewers. The story of a woman struggling to find both stability on the waters of time and freedom from the rocks of her past, “The Ballast” invites viewers to explore this constant struggle faced by humanity.
Q: What inspired this exhibit? A: My life. (Marais laughs) The title of this exhibit is called “The Ballast” and when I worked on this project, I was thinking about how I will maintain my own balance in life. And when I work in my studio, I don’t just make one painting. I usually work on a whole project. So the whole project is based around
questions I have about my life, because I found the more personal my work becomes, the more universal it is as well. The ballast is when you have a ship, and you want to keep it buoyant – when it’s empty, you have to fill up the new cargo ships of the day with water and it keeps its equilibrium with the water level. Whereas the old school, they fill it up with rocks. And that way, it stays steady. So as they try to stay steady, they have to empty out rocks or put in more rocks, or take out water or add more water. As I made this project, I started asking the question, “How do you stay in balance? And when do you know when to empty yourself? And when is it time to fill yourself to stay stable?” This is my way of working through those questions. I also believe the reason why I make art is not necessarily the interpretation I feel people should have for the work. I want them to come with their own ideas and read their own thing in it.
actual environment. For this film, which is about seven minutes, I took between 8,000 and 9,000 photographs. And then I timelapsed it, and then you have a stop animation. So I have 8,000 to 9,000 photographs that I then recycled back into photographic mixed media collages, and then you have this coherency about it so the works have a similar dialogue towards each other.

specific work. It’s like a little family. So it’s like saying, “The nephew is nicer than the cousin, but they all have the same genes.”
Q: Who are your top three inspirations when creating art?
A: I’m weird in the sense that I’m not as
influenced by other artists as I’m influenced by writers. I have a deep love for Russian writers and poets. One of my favorite poets is Anna Akhmatova. And writers like Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. I have this thing going on for Russia, and I am so enamored with Andrei Tarkovsky–he’s a filmmaker–but he also wrote beautiful poetry. He always said that his film was just poetry, so that’s really what inspired me. And, of course, I’m inspired by a lot of South African writers.

Freshman Kortney Lockey had her third game of 10 or more kills in UNC’s sweep against Montana State on Thursday night at the Bank of Colorado Arena.
Staff Report UNCBears.com
The Big Sky Conference released the preseason men’s basketball rankings on Wednesday. The Bears were picked seventh in the coaches’ poll and sixth in the media poll. “Losing four seniors, and having only three guys back that played meaningful minutes, along with eight new faces on the team, honestly, I thought we would have been a little farther down the poll,” said head coach B.J. Hill. “I really like
Northern Colorado volleyball (6-11) had a successful weekend, going 2-0 in conference play, bringing its conference record to 2-2. The team swept the Montana State Bobcats (3-9) in three sets on Thursday and beat Montana in four sets (3-1) on Saturday. The Bears have been strong at home throughout the year, posting a 5-2 record so far. But their most impressive win was against Montana. Although it wasn’t a clean sweep, the Bears looked like a team firing on all cylinders. “We got the sweep this weekend, which we needed” said Bears Head Coach Lyndsey Oates. “I think we have good momentum going forward with the top team, Idaho State.” According to Oates, it was an “up and down” game. They hit a .338 percentage from the floor and got big contributions from their veteran players on both sides of the ball. Junior setter Ashley Guthrie had 50 assists, nine kills and 10.5 points, putting her one kill shy of a triple-double. Near the end of the fourth set, with the team, Guthrie let out an energetic yell after setting sophomore middle blocker Alex Kloehn for a kill to tie the game. “I like to cheer. I feel like it’s a good way to build energy,” Guthrie said. “Even on a sloppy play, it’s the best time to build energy.” Guthrie served as a cornerstone for the team’s offensive attack by setting up the team’s top killers in senior outside hitters Kendra Cunningham and Katie Champion, as well as freshman
the team that we have, but I didn’t expect the rankings to be that high.” The Bears finished 2014-15 with a 15-15 overall record and a 10-8 finish in the Big Sky. UNC took fifth overall in the league and advanced to the postseason tournament for the fourth time in five seasons under Hill. Fans will see a lot of new faces on the Northern Colorado roster this year. UNC returns six players from last season, but just two starters in guard Cameron Michael and big man Jeremy Verhagen. Coach Hill brought in some much-
outside hitter Kortney Lockey, who had 10, 16 and 10 kills, respectively. “She just kept feeding it to me, so I felt really comfortable, and I think it made her comfortable, too,” said Champion of Guthrie’s efforts. “I think [Guthrie] knows it was a perfect set when I get a kill. I loved it.” Cunningham said she was trying to close out the game in the fourth set when the Bears were tied with the Grizzlies at 20 points each and then went on a short 5-1 run to win the set and the match. “As a leader, that’s exactly what I want out of my team. I want them to trust me. I want [Guthrie] to feel like she can set me for that point,” Cunningham said. “They trust me to take a big swing, and I can just rip it.” UNC also got help from their younger players, especially Lockey and sophomore outside hitter Kim Weissmann. Lockey, as a freshman, continued her impressive season with her third game of 10 or more kills. Weissmann came off the bench in the fourth set, and her first four hits were kills. She also put up two more kills, as well as a .556 hitting percentage. On the defensive side of the ball, the team put up 60 digs and seven blocks. Senior defensive specialist Meagan Garcia led the team with 28 digs and got her 1,000th career dig during the match. The Bears’ next two games are at home against Big Sky Conference rivals, the Idaho State Vandals (4-0) and the Weber State Wildcats (1-3). The team’s next match is at home against Idaho State at 7 p.m. on Thursday in the Bank of Colorado Arena.
needed height, something UNC lacked last season outside of Verhagen, who stands at 6’10”. Out of the eight newcomers on the roster, four of them are 6’7” or taller, giving the team a presence down low. “Through the summer and into this fall, there has been no lack of effort from this group,” Hill said about what has him excited for the upcoming season. “They’re playing extremely hard right now. They’re not necessarily playing extremely smart–which is expected with this many new guys, but I really am pleased with the physical effort.” The 2015-16 Northern Colorado
men’s basketball season got underway on Oct. 2, and the Bears conducted their first official practice of the year at 4:30 p.m. The entire conference season will be under the motto “Road to Reno,” as the end of the year will culminate with the Big Sky Championships being held at the Reno Events Center in Reno, Nevada from March 7-12, 2016. For the first time in conference history, every team will advance to the league tourney under the new structure. For the full Big Sky Conference preseason poll visit UNCBears.com

This week in Northern Colorado sports Staff Report
sports@uncmirror.com
FOOTBALL
The University of Northern Colorado football team earned its first win over Sacramento State on Saturday, beating the Hornets 27-20 in California. UNC never trailed in the game as sophomore Hakeem Deggs took the opening kick-off 100 yards to give the Bears the lead, 7-0. The UNC offense struggled as redshirt freshman Trae Riek continues to suffer from an injury. Redshirt freshman quarterback Jacob Knipp led the Bears’ offense but failed to record a touchdown run or pass for the first time this season. Knipp finished the game 16-for-32 and 131 passing yards. It was the Bears’ dominate defense that would make the win possible, as senior defensive backs A.J. Battle and Trevor Douglass each recovered Hornet fumbles and returned them for touchdowns. Head coach Earnest Collins Jr. said that following the Bears’ home loss to Weber State, the Bears are a different team with Riek in the backfield. Riek might continue to miss games this season. The rushing attack was held to 72 yards as sophomore Brandon Cartagena led the way with 12 rushes for 32 yards, while junior Darius Graham also contributed 26 yards on 10 carries.
Northern Colorado has a bye week and will play the University of California-Davis at 1:05 p.m. Oct. 17 at Nottingham Field.
WOMEN’S SOCCER
The Northern Colorado soccer team gained its second conference win, beating the Idaho State Bengals 3-0 on Friday night at Jackson Stadium. The Bears (7-5, 2-0 Big Sky) outshot Idaho State (1-10-1, 0-3) by seven and had 17 shots total, 11 on goal. Following a 60-minute rain delay, the opening half saw little action, with neither team scoring a goal. Junior midfielder Sydney Schroeder broke the tie in the 61stminute, when she scored her fourth goal of the season off an assist from senior forward Essence Ortiz-Laneir. Just three minutes later, UNC doubled their lead when junior forward Shanlie Anderson scored her first goal of the season, assisted by Shroeder. Junior defender Stephanie Scarcello sealed the win for the Bears in the 75th-minute with an unassisted goal, also her first goal of the season. Sophomore goalkeeper Madeline Burdick stopped all three shots on goal from ISU, earning her third shutout of the season, her first since a win over Southeast Missouri on Aug. 30. One yellow card was given to a player on each team. Redshirt senior defender Ambree Bellin received hers in the 12-minute for the Bears, and freshman defender Kenya Sherman in the 85-min-
ute for the Bengals. This is the 11th time the teams have played each other since 2005. Northern Colorado holds the advantage in this series, going 6-4-1 over that span. The Bears’ next game is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon against Weber State at Jackson Stadium in another Big Sky Conference battle. The two teams met once last season in Ogden, Utah in a 3-1 Northern Colorado victory. Following the game Sunday, the women’s soccer team will have four straight conference games spanning over two weeks on the road, beginning with Northern Arizona on Oct. 9 in Flagstaff, Arizona.
WOMEN’S GOLF
Northern Colorado’s women’s golf team finished ninth out of 15th, after a strong finish by senior Amanda Myers. Myers finished third in the overall leaderboard, shooting -2 after 54 holes. As a team, the Bears finished 910 (316-297-297) and a +46 overall. San Francisco swept all three rounds, scoring 871 (285, 296, 290), defeating second-place Oregon State. The Bears will play next at the University of Denver Intercollegiate on Friday and Saturday in Denver.
