Locked in Bears take sole possession of second place in the Big Sky Samantha Fox

The UNC men’s basketball team extended its home win streak to 14 with an 83-73 win against Montana State Saturday night at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion. The University of Northern Colorado (15-8, 9-5 Big Sky) clinched the sole second place slot in conference standings with the win after North Dakota (11-13, 8-6) lost to Montana (12-11, 7-7) earlier Saturday. The Bears faced the Grizzlies Thursday, beating them 89-86 in an overtime nailbiter. “These guys are doing things that haven’t been done in a while,” UNC head coach B.J. Hill said. “(We’ve) never swept Montana. We haven’t beaten Weber State in three years and beat Kansas State. (With) all these things, I was a little worried about an emotional letdown.” After shooting 45.2 the Bears shot 80 percent in the second, going 16-

The Mirror Poll:
Editor-in-chief: Steven Josephson
THE MIRROR editor@uncmirror.com In September of 2013 the University of Northern Colorado submitted a as a part of the preliminary process for getting a new building called the Campus Commons. The proposal stated the building would likely tions: be a “front door for visitors to the campus,” serve as a welcome center, provide civic and community engagement for International Education, provide “spaces for interaction and collaboration,” house various academic support and career services, serve as a venue for campus ticketing, as

well as possibly providing gallery and performance spaces. All that, plus a bag of chips. When viewed on the surface, such a building sounds excellent. Providing a place for prospective, current and former students to gather and engage with the campus is certainly something that any college could use. The only problem with this proposal? We already have one. Constructed in 1965, and having been remodeled several times since then, the University Center has served the needs of UNC students for nearly 50 years.
If you haven’t been there, it’s worth checking out. There’s a Taco Bell there for starters, plus you can get tickets for this year’s Spring Concert, not to mention being able to partake in almost everything else on the previous list. All the same, it’s hard to argue that the good ‘ol UC couldn’t use a little love. A lot of people typically only enter the building to traverse the main level corridor that serves as an indoor conduit between Central and West Campus, occasionally detouring to grab a snack or coffee along the way. The cafeteria is only
open for lunch, there’s not a proper central gathering space and the building’s best view (from the aptly named Panorama Room) is rarely seen by anyone not attending a fancy soiree. The UC is old and after so many years, probably doesn’t serve its purpose as well as it once did. Still, as we begin considering building a new $70 million building on the UC’s front lawn, it might be worth breathing some new life into an old building rather than constructing a shiny new one. Presently the new building looks like it will serve the old UC, which would
likely only make the building look even older and less relevant. What will come next for the UC? We can only hope that part of the university’s long-term plans will include integrating the new building with the older one. Turning the UC into a better-designed, more welcoming sort of place makes sense. Designing the UC so that it could compliment the Campus Commons’s “front door” with a cozy interior you’d feel comfortable kicking up your feet and staying in for a while could work well. Just don’t neglect the old building in the process.

When it comes to political news lately, it’s either the Democrats did this or the Republicans did that, followed by a bunch of name calling somewhere in the
But unlike grade-school kids, these people are running the country and, frankly, making a mess of things. While neither side is ever going to be perfect, they could both use a change in reputation and representation. Both sides need to stop being political just for the sake of being political. It gives constituents a headache. Both sides need to be more transparent because when the average college student thinks come to his mind are corrupt, lying and hidden agenda. advice to you is to stop pointing the blame elsewhere and take ownership for your actions. Most
of us were taught that at an early age, when we tried to blame our siblings for something that we did and got caught doing. And although President Bush was like any other American president and was not perfect, not everything that goes wrong in this country is his fault. If something isn’t working, do what inventors and do-it-yourselfers do: either scrap it or try to make it better. But don’t force it on people. Republicans, more often than not, you make the news for being unwilling to compromise. Therefore, try compromising on things that don’t compromise your values. Not everything is going to go your way, especially these days when times are constantly changing. Stand your ground in the right place at the right time, and be
willing to make some concessions. Also, stop trying to pass the blame to someone else; you’re just as bad as the other side on that note. As for both political parties, please, reread the Constitution and take a course or two in constitutional law or constitutional history. And remember, you were put into the government by the people, and the people can just as easily remove you. We’ve made that clear in Colorado by recalling three people from our legislative branch in just one year. Other states will be happy to do just the same. —Natasha Krech is a senior history major and staff writer for The Mirror. She can be contacted via email at news@uncmirror.com.

Soul food educates, enculturates Alexandria Adair Vasquez news@uncmirror.com
Breelyn Bowe | The Mirror
Darian Gray, a junior history major, and Tasia Bowen, a junior business management major, preparing fried chicken for the rush of hungry students last Thursday at the Marcus Garvey Cultural Center.
“What brought me here? Of course the good food. You can’t miss out on soul food night,” said Desirae Murphy-Hayes, a junior psychology major. Students and members of the community gathered last Thursday at the Marcus Garvey Cultural Center to honor a tradition that has been going at UNC for more than half a decade in honor of Black History Month: Soul Food Night. A long and winding line formed through the living room in anticipation of foods like cornbread, fried chicken and mashed potatoes—all homemade and from the hearts of the members of United Black Government and the staff of the Marcus Garvey Cultural Center who made the night possible. “Food in general is embedded in culture,” said Thailia Rodrigues, a junior communication and Africana Studies double major. “The best way to start to understand one’s culture is
to explore food.” The night began with a PowerPoint presentation which featured the foods that were being highlighted that evening and their connection to the history of the black community. Rodrigues said a lot of history in the food is behind the fact that recipes, spices and seasonings have been passed down from generation to generation since times of slavery. She said she feels the annual event affords the black community at UNC an opportunity to educate their peers in a fun and interesting way. “It gets people in the door, and since they’re coming for food it gets conversations started,” Rodrigues said. She also mentioned the many artifacts and African art pieces on display that visitors are exposed to once they get in the door. “So you’re enjoying yourself and educating yourself at the same time,” Rodrigues said. Kris Kovinchick, a freshman nursing major who grew up eating soul
food in his household, said he would describe the event as fairly authentic. He said he initially questioned whether event coordinators would be able to pull off the task of recreating something so personal, but they managed to make it work, which he said he found important. “It’s really important for African Americans and black people to come get a taste of their own culture. UNC is predominantly white people, so it’s nice to touch back with roots,” Kovinchick said. Murphy-Hayes pointed out that each person has a slightly different idea of what constitutes the basics of soul food. One person might have grown up with black-eyed peas and collard greens, while someone else may think pig feet can’t be left off the list. Whatever the case may be, Murphy-Hayes said it comes from the heart. “People just take whatever type of food that they can cook, and it comes from the soul. It comes from love— and butter,” Murphy-Hayes said.

The ninth annual University of Northern Colorado Scholarship Fair was held Tuesday at the University Center where undergraduate and graduate students could obtain information about upcoming scholarships and approaching deadlines. Two $1,000 scholarships were given away to students as a drawcial Aid. The contact information of interested students were placed into a covered box and names were drawn later that same afternoon. The two most promoted scholarships at the fair were the Free Application for Federal Student Aid and the UNC Universal Scholarship Application. Applications for FAFSA can be found at www.fasfa.ed.gov and must be completed by March 1. If a student misses the priority
deadline, it is recommended that he or she still submit the FAFSA as soon as possible. Every student has the opportunity to apply for the UNC Universal Scholarship, undergraduates as well as graduate students. The application is required for those interested in applying for additional scholarships offered through the UNC Foundation. Upon completion of this application, students will be presented with a list of scholarships they are eligible for. This allows for a helpful and convenient way to access information about scholarships pertaining to their majors “Fill out the universal scholarship even if you think you do not qualify for many scholarships,” said Janie Voris, administrator assistant for Monfort College of Business. “Because many times, you actually do.” Last year, the Monfort College of Business gave away $600,000

Funding approved by senate Daniel Greeson
news@uncmirror.com
The University of Northern Colorado’s Student Senate approved funding for two student-run events during their meeting Wednesday evening in the University Center’s Council Room. Kevin Kantor, a representative for UNC’s student-run theatre company SOAPbox Productions, requested funding for an upcoming College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational (CUPSI) competition. UNC students will be able to visit the University of Colorado-Boulder as part of the competition. Kantor added that the funding would also go toward having a popular slam poetry group, Button Poetry, perform alongside the UNC students. Kantor said he believes that this would be a good opportunity for SOAPbox. “Button Poetry has saturated news feeds lately because of the Good News Poetry Tour,” Kantor said. “We would love to feature them alongside our competing poets team to represent Colorado.” Button Poetry will be going straight to Boulder on arrival and not staying at UNC. Because of this, lodging costs were removed from the funding request. The senate voted to approve the rest of the funding for SOAPbox Production’s request. Representatives of the UNC chapter of
Sigma Lambda Beta International Fraternity also came before the senate to request funding for their upcoming Latino Youth Leadership Conference at UNC. The conference is open to 8th grade boys from Greeley’s schools and encourages them to cation. The conference involves UNC students as personal mentors for these boys. Senate members questioned if the Latino Youth Leadership Conference should be funded as a UNC student event. Shanice Clarke, public relations and marketing coordinator for UNC’s University Program Council, spoke in support of the Organization Funding Board bankrolling the conference. “OFB in the past has funded a lot of events like this that serve as a volunteer opportunity for UNC students,” Clarke said. “But I would like to see more of an outreach for volunteer work for the conference.” The senate dropped the funding amount to $3,000 because that is the maximum amount allotted for funding requests. Afterward, they voted to approve the funding request for Sigma Lambda Beta’s Latino Youth Leadership Conference. Kayla Murray, director of legislative affairs for Student Senate, announced that there will be a focus group in the Aspen C room for a possible new building, the Campus Commons, on UNC campus. Murray described what purpose this new building

might serve. “The idea is to have a building that is a ‘one-stop shop’ for new students at UNC,” Murray said. “The idea is to have a central desk where new students can basically go for all of their needs.” Murray also said that this new building may include places for live music and a coffee shop.
Oliver Bourne, student body president, added that the new building may serve as a place for members of the Greeley community to interact with the university. “They are describing it like it is the front porch of UNC,” Bourne said. The Student Senate also welcomed new member Catherine Kosse. She will serve as the student rights advocate for the senate.
Light shed on Campus Commons building: “Integrated student support hub” Alexandria Adair Vasquez news@uncmirror.com
tee of UNC’s Board of Trustees met the morning of Feb. 12 in the Hall. University of Northern Colorado Provost Robbyn Wacker discussed a planning update on what she said she hopes will represent what UNC’s community is all about—a new building called the Campus Commons. An open house for the Campus Commons was held earlier this semester in order to give committee members a better idea of how to meet the needs of students with this new building. The event seemed to leave more questions than answers with UNC Trustee Richard Gast, however, who had several questions ready for Wacker concerning cost and timeline during her update.
According to UNC President Kay Norton, the guesstimate cost of the project will be at least $70 million. “We are not waiting for the state to say yes or no. We’re looking at how we can proceed regardless,” said Norton, who emphasized the university’s need to take charge of its own fate rather than remain subject to the ebb and The UNC Board of Trustees expects to have a program plan ready for approval in June, and ceived is July 2015. Norton mentioned a need to connect the two main sides of campus, West and Central, with more than a single, three-story building. “This is the most important thing we need in terms of physical infrastructure,” Norton said. heart of the campus that physically manifests our intention to be
one community.” Wacker likened the function of the campus’ newest building to being the front porch of the university: It will be the starting place for campus tours and new student orientation and will be the welcome center for prospective students and families. “People from the community don’t know where the entry point is or where to engage. We want this to be a gateway for the campus,” Wacker said. Wacker said the Campus Commons will highlight the accomplishments of students and alumni. This space will showcase faculty research, work that students have done within their respective programs, interactive features and even a performance space for students in the College of Performing and Visual Arts. Wacker said those involved with planning are being careful about simply relocating the
energy from the University Center. The goal is to make sure the UC and Campus Commons work together harmoniously, Wacker said. The vision for the Campus Commons building, according to Wacker, is to create an integrated student support hub. Wacker said it will be similar to the Academic terms of case management functions, but the focus will be on campus involvement rather than restricted to tutoring. “(Students) can come in and get centralized services, rather sional guides) can ask questions like ‘How can we help you engage?’” Wacker also said guides will be trained to understand what students need, how important it is to be connected to the campus and help them make

By having all the entities together, new students can learn how to access them from the day of orientation on campus, Wacker said. Also important is that students will be able to access these pus. In response to questions about the location of campus cultural centers being moved to the Campus Commons, Wacker said she hopes this work will facilitate what’s going on at the centers.

Students dodge test anxiety with study skills strategies Jennifer Hazeldine
news@uncmirror.com
While the old test-taking adage of “just pick C” does have some merit, the best results come from taking time to get ready ahead of an exam. Angela Vaughan, the director struction, spoke about a variety of test taking strategies Wednesday morning at the University Center. The study skills workshop engaged participants with different tips and tricks on how to prepare for a test and also explained how to complete an exam while avoiding test anxiety. “The best test-taking strategy is to be prepared,” Vaughan said. According to Vaughan, test preparation is one of the keys to exam success. Studying for an exam should be an ongoing process: not performed all at once, but rather in multiple periods. More frequent and shorter study sessions prove when compared to longer and less frequent study sessions. For example, studying one hour in the morning and one hour
than studying in a single two-hour block. This is true for most students because the information is visited more often, and it allows for better brain stimulation. The next step in test preparation is to create a study plan. Students should try to create graphic organizers, create their own questions, quiz their friends or speak with their professors. Students should also avoid being vague about the length of a study session. Vaughan suggests setting aside an exact amount of “Besides repetition, I try to reword phrases so that it makes sense to me,” said Phuong Le, a senior English major, as she shared her personal test strategies. “I have a midterm in an hour, so I am hoping that this class will help.” Vaughan also suggests that students should not stay up late to study for an exam, even if the exam occurs the following morning. Tired minds often do not absorb information well, and staying up late may be more deexam performance.
On the night before the exam, Vaughan said to be sure to pack everything needed for the following morning. This will erase worrisome thoughts about forgetting an item. Students should stay on their routines. If a student normally drinks coffee in the morning, then he or she should drink coffee but not overindulge. Upon starting the exam, Vaughan said to be sure to look over the entire test. Students should ensure that all pages are there and approach what is known Typically, what is considered the easiest will require the least amount of effort. This will save time because the participant is not using up a large amount of his or before the easy ones. The overall goal is to gain as many points as possible. Comwill most likely help the participant achieve this goal as well as If a student does not know the correct choice to a multiple choice, true/false or matching question, he or she should always place an answer and always dou-
ble-check scantrons. Vaughan suggests that individuals should not change multiple-choice answers. It is more unless it is absolutely known that the answer needs to be changed. Optional answers that are similar on an exam are most likely not the correct answer, unless there is an option that allows both. Eliminate answers that are irrelevant, and when a guess is needed, the correct choice is likely to be either B or C. “I will take in the logic of taking a multiple-choice test,” said Kayla Johnson, a senior mathematics education major, after learning about Vaughan’s advice. “It seems reasonable, and I never thought about how to eliminate information on it.” Test anxiety occurs in some individuals before or during an exam. A variety of symptoms may include shaking, sweating, increased pulse or even physical illness. Symptoms are different for everyone. If students are experiencing a high level of anxiety, they should talk to someone right away. To cope with test anxiety, it is
or internal triggers. Is it visual? Auditory? For some people, sitting in the front of the class proves to be helpful because it eliminates distractions such as other classmates or the clock. “Events are not actually stressful,” Vaughan said. “It is our beliefs about the events that causes the event to seem stressful.” Students must ask themselves, “Is this thought based in reality, or am I just panicking over nothing?” and nip the negative thoughts in the bud. Vaughan brought about the idea of the “what-if heck.” Students should not fall into the what-if heck. It is a realm of what-if questions such as, “What if I fail? What if I freeze up?” Students should give themselves permission to worry later. Worry about the event when the time comes because there is nothing anyone can do about it. Find alternative ways to remove negative thoughts. More study skills workshops will be offered throughout the semester. To learn more about these workshops, students can visit www.unco.edu.
How to create resumes, cover letters that cut out the competition Alexandria Adair Vasquez
Terrell Wallin, a senior journalism and mass communications major, said he al-
With graduation coming sooner rather than later for some students, the prospect of getting a job and surviving the post-grad blues becomes more and more crucial. Alexa Williams, professional experience coordinator and career counselor, recently led a presentation on the nuts and bolts of building resumes and cover letters that stand out to employers. The workshop, part of a series this spring called “How To Get That Job!” was last Thursday in the upper-level computer lab at Candelaria Hall. Williams said she was sharing industry secrets that employers have shared they are looking for. The most important tip Williams shared, according to students, was that it’s paramount to tailor every single resume for the
to change it up after attending the workshop. “I think one of the things was telling about the results or the outcomes of your tasks. I never thought to list that, ever,” Wallin said. Strong resumes, according to Williams, list not only the tasks that were completed at a particular job—but what skills were ganization as a whole. This is what will set a resume apart from the 300 others piling up on an employer’s desk, Williams said. Williams asked students how long the average employer looks at each resume, and one student hit the nail on the head: just 10 seconds. With that in mind, Williams likened the top third of a resume— the part guaranteed to be seen by a future employer—to the preview of a movie. This section should include the top three things a student wants an employer to know about

them in relation to the position. “The goal of the resume is not to tell our whole lives and stories but to be strategic about what part of our lives and stories that we tell that relate directly to the job we’re applying for,” Williams said. Aside from basic contact information and a name, the most important sections of a student’s resume are the objective, education and experience areas. Williams said the objective is an option that comes down to personal choice for most applicants, but freshman Belen Puga said she felt it was the most important section to include. “Right away that’s what they’re looking for, and the objective will tell it,” Puga said. She said all students should attend a resume workshop if they’re interested in making the transition from college to professional work force. Because experience is usually lacking at the time of graduation for most students, Wacker said, education is the most relevant section employers use to gauge what a stu-
dent may be able to handle. Students should include the name of any schools attended, including transfers and study abroad experiences, and any minors or duplicate degrees. GPA need not be listed, unless it is a 3.0 or higher. The next section, experience, will eventually become the meat of the resume. As experience in the work force is built up over time, the most recent happenings will be added toward the top of the page and less important experiences and education will go to the bottom. Community service, volunteer work, class projects and any work for a club or organization may count toward experience. Williams passed a packet of tips, lists of action verbs and example resumes out to students in attendance. She also touched on the basics of writing a powerful cover letter and when the appropriate time to write one would be (hint: the answer is always). For more personalized help, students may call 970-351-2127 to schedule a 15-minute advising appointment.

UNC to offer pet-friendly housing next school year Katarina Velazquez

The University of Northern Colorado is going to offer a new variety of oncampus living opportunities for the 2014-2015 school year. “UNC is really trying to get students to continue living on campus with these new living options. It’ll dents’ minds about immediately moving off campus,” said Kelly Smith, a freshman biology major. For one, students will be allowed to have pets if they choose to live in Lawrenson Hall. Pets will be limited to dogs and domesticated cats and will only be allowed on There are restrictions on certain dog breeds, and the dog must be 40 pounds or less when fully grown. Students are also limited to one pet per bedroom, which means they are required to either buy out the entire room for $500 or have their roommate agree to the living conditions in the Lawrenson pet community. Owners must also take of their pet and be aware that they must pay for any damages caused to the room or community. “There are many advantages to a pet-friendly hall,” said Nick Gennarelli, a sophomore criminal justice major and a UNC resident assistant. “Students with pets will have more responsibility, but it might also help them be less homesick.” Another new housing opportunity is that UNC will offer a gender inclusive
housing community. This community allows students of different genders to live together in the same dorm room. This housing option is ideal for students whose pression is unique from the norms of society. It is also ideal for students who are uncomfortable living with a roommate of the same biological gender. who might live in this community include siblings, students in personal relafriends. UNC Housing & Residential Education is determined to create a more welcoming environment to the variety of gender identities “I think this is a huge step forward for our university,” Smith said. “Allowing students to feel more comfortable in their homes away from home is a progression for our campus.” UNC student commuters housing option. Students who commute to and from campus everyday will be able to choose from overnight or weekly housing options to serve their academic, social or emergency purposes. Students will be able plans.

Councilors individualize senate voice Kimberly Molina

Student Senate works to bring diversity and opportunity to students across campus. walking around campus, they may want to keep an eye out for free hot chocolate and gimmicky slogans from those who are campaigning for Student Senate elections. There was an informational meeting at 4 p.m. last Wednesday in the University Center for students who are seeking to implement a change within the University of Northern Colorado campus by joining Student Senate. Student Senate is an opportunity to not only be a part of something bigger than just being a college student, but to change the people and to be involved with the community. The 19 paid positions available on Student Senate this year will bring a breath of fresh air to the senate elections at UNC. Positions such as student body president, student trustee, direcstudent affairs and the new
and approved college councilors for each college are available. This is a year to bring new opportunity to Student Senate. The diversity of the different colleges and different career paths is being accounted for by implementing the college councilor positions. colleges on campus: the Monfort College of Business, Humanities and Social Sciences, Education and Behavioral Sciences, Natural Health Sciences and Performing and Visual Arts schools have the opportunity to run and campaign to be the voice for their area of study. Primary duties for the college councilor positions committee, Academic Affairs Committee, Student Affairs Committee and taking on positions that relate to their college. Jake Neel, a senior representative, said he is campaigning to be a college councilor of the Monfort College of Business. “I hope to create a positive impact and bring a stronger connection within the campus and the student population,” Neel said.
Elections Commissioner and Parliamentarian Garrett Royer said this is not only but for the current students as well. “It is giving students (an) opportunity to represent their college,” Royer said. This new election process has intrigued students across campus, such as freshman Natalie Holthaus who is running for the director of student affairs position. “I hope to void the emptiness our school sometimes has and connect students with big events,” Holthaus said. To become part of the Student Senate and run for candidacy, participants must have reach the minimum GPA requirement of a 2.5 and enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours Campaigning is now being held all across campus, and nominees must have a total of 50 signatures in order to run for the positions they desire. These nominees must embody the honesty, trust, respect, fairness and responsibility that are upheld by Student Senate.

O Romeo! UNC Shakespeare workshop puts spin on the Bard Natasha Krech
arts@uncmirror.com
The English and theater departments hosted a workshop with Michael LoMonico of The Folger in New York on Friday evening. Part of the workshop was intended to attempt to break the world record for the largest balcony scene from “Romeo and Juliet.” Fewer than 80 people attended—about half the amount needed to break the current record. Juliet(s) outnumbered the Romeo(s) that night as the balcony scene was performed by students and community members. “We had a Friday night and it ured why not have something participatory,” said Jeri Kraver, director of English education at the University of Northern Colorado. Kraver helped organize LoMonico's workshop at UNC. In honor of Valentine's Day, romantic quotes from Shakespeare's many works such as “Hamlet,” “A MidsummerNight’s Dream” and his famous sonnets were read aloud by various audience members.

UNC’s “Beyond Therapy” is a dose of comedic delight Theatre Review

Durang. The play originally premiered on Jan. 1, 1981. The University of Northern Colorado’s College of Performing and Visual Arts School of Theatre Arts and Dance and director Ken Womble opened the play on Feb. 6. After many recreations, including a crititation by director Robert Altman, it is easy to mess up “Beyond Therapy.” The campy acting is on purpose, though it can be mildly distracting while trying to follow the story. The actors in this production played their roles well. They knew their
lines, they knew their blocking and there was a lot of walking around in the tiny space that is the Norton Theater stage, so that is a feat in itself. There were some actors that stood out more than others, however. Jeremiah Light as Bob and Jack Wright as Prudence’s therapist Stuart, who sexually harasses her and all of his other female patients, were every bit as campy and over the top as they needed to be for the play. Bruce’s therapist, Charlotte, (Gabrielle Mann) also had quite a campy role, but her character’s problem with re-
membering what she was going to say was distracting and takes the audience out of the real plot of the story. Further into the play, Charlotte was a great comedic foil for the melodrama that encompassed the Bruce/Prudence story line. When Bruce makes Bob attend a therapy session with Charlotte, it is by far the best scene in the play. The actors play off each other nicely when Charlotte is confronted with Bob’s homosexuality. She repeatedly says the word “c***sucker.” The shooting scene is
also one between Charlotte and Bob. Bob brings a gun with blanks to his therapy appointment. He shoots Charlotte, and before she realizes that she isn’t bleeding, she congratulates Bob for being so honest and deliberate with his feelings. It is a very funny scene that the audience seem to enjoy. Overall, this play is very well done. The comedic timing was excellent, and the over the top acting was just what the play called for.

Tired of singing the Monday night blues? Try dancing it Antonio Hill
arts@uncmirror.com
Live music, friends and dancing: what more can you ask for on a Monday night? The 16th Street Blues is an event where you can hear classic blues music and learn how to dance to it. Located across the street from Roma at The Atlas Theatre (709 16th Street), Kay Jiricek and Jeph Hargrove are offering their time to teach people how to dance to blues music. After the lessons there is an open dance to live music performed by local bands. The Leghounds performed last Monday.
“I think people at UNC are scared to leave campus,” Hargrove said. “I hope we can make this an established event in Greeley, like Denver and other cites have, because I think this could be a fun event that anyone could enjoy for years to come.” Hargrove and Jiricek inherited this slot at the Atlas from some friends who graduated, and they want to keep it in good hands. The attendance has been a little lower than expected, but the two of them said they are still optimistic about things picking up. Hargrove likes to call their more modern style of dancing “blues fusion” and said it’s a de-
veloping style that is easy to pick up on. “I have been dancing since high school, so eight years, and I love teaching people,” said Jiricek, a junior theatre design tech major.“I just want to give Greeley a night life, something fun to do on a Monday night.” the dance. “It kills time, it’s fun and it’s a good way to meet people,” said Joe Moorehead, a student at Front Range Community College. “I have been dancing for two years and can’t wait to learn more.” Blues dancing, like manyforms of dancing, is a form of
art that requires the skills of two ly. Dancing to blues music has developed over the past century, with new techniques and moves being passed down from generation to generation. To begin, partners should be facing each other in close proximity. This is important because the motions required with the up-tempo blues beat require the dancers to move quickly, leaving little room for error. After connecting with your partner, the signature blues dancing move occurs: bending your knees to the beat. There are many different styles and motions this
can look like, so experimenting can be fun. This bending of the knees is called pulse, which is important because it gives you and your partner a sense of what the beat is. It’s important to shift your weight from one leg to the next, so you are able to keep up with the rhythm. Once you have that down, try walking and ending with a turn or two. When you get that down you will be able to repeat as such to the beat. Like a lot of dances you can always add your own touch to it, so don’t be afraid to have fun.

UNC Opera’s production of “Die Fledermaus” reflects well on PVA school Opera Review By Daniel Greeson
The UNC School of Music presented Johann Strauss’ operetta “Die Fledermaus” at the Union Colony Civic Center Friday and Saturday nights. The operetta featured the talents of the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra (conducted by Glen Cortese) and the acting and singing abilities of UNC students. Strauss’ operetta, performed in an English edition developed by stage director Brian Luedloff, also
an associate professor of music at UNC, is the story of revenge between two old friends for a drunken prank that leaves one of dermaus) in public. As the operetta begins we learn that the man remaus prank, Gabriel von Eisenstein (played by Philip de Roulet on the 14th and Revere Taylor on the 15th), has been convicted of a crime and will be sent to prison later in the evening. Dr. Franke (Chris Rogers and Stephen K. Foster), maus prank, shows up and secretly invites Eisenstein to a huge party that night thrown by Prince Orlofsky (Erin Moran and Emily Johnson). Meanwhile Rosalinde (Rachel Gustafson and Tes-
sa Espinosa), Eisenstein’s wife, receives an anonymous letter inviting her to Orlofsky’s party, as does her chambermaid Adele (Kirsten Carpenter and Eliza Woodyard). A comedy of errors ensues, and many of the characters end up taking on new aliases at Orlofsky’s party to get what they want from each other. There were many things that made UNC School of Music’s “Die Flederforemost, having the musical accompaniment of the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra. Even before the curact, the orchestra played Johann Strauss’ overture which features music from throughout the operetta. The overture featured very
energetic, high-tempo music that really set the mood for the spirited and lighthearted operetta that was to follow. The singing by UNC students in “Die Fledermaus” was also fantastic. Most of the dialogue of the operetta was sung and seemed to require a broad range and a lot of volume from many of the actors. Many of the main characters had distinct styles of singing that positively set them apart from each other in scenes when multiple characters were singing. The variety in the songs of “Die Fledermaus” is really what kept it interesting the entire way through. There were solos, duets, trios and even scenes in which a huge chorus of party guests were singing in unison. There were also some very impressive scenes in which three singers would have a dialogue, sometimes singing solos, at times singing duets and at other times singing all together. Eisenstein, Rosalinde and Adele had one such scene that was very entertaining to watch.
“Die Fledermaus” had excellent acting to accompany its singing. The UNC students conveyed the story of “Die Fledermaus” not only through the dialogue of the operetta but also through expertly done inThis was often important in the operetta because many of the characters had hidden intentions that needed to be expressed through action and not speech. This operetta was performed in English, which was a smart and well-done decision by director Brian Luedloff. Had it been in German, this already complicated story would have been nearly impossible to follow. “Die Fledermaus” was very well put-together by the UNC School of Music, and everyone involved should be proud of the work they have done. —Daniel Greeson is a senior journalism and mass communications major and an arts and entertainment writer for The Mirror.

29-second “Macbeth” performed Shakespeare from page 10
The word love appears 2,209 times in Shakespeare’s works—it is used more in comedy than tragedy, so there were a lot of lines to choose from. Shakespearian trivia was shared, sometimes dispelling the myths around the Bard. For example he did not write the King James Bible, as many believe due to the stylistic similarity. Shakespeare still remains mysterious in many ways. None of the plays accredited to Shakespeare are
in Shakespeare’s own handwriting, and most plays that he wrote were accredited to him after his death. Shakespeare also spelled his name differently than we do today. In fact, two different spellings were shown. Audience participation was encouraged. Audience members performed “Hamlet” in 15 minutes. The audience was divided into teams to make a run at doing Shakespeare's mostproduced play, “Macbeth” in 30 seconds. The two teams had 35

I liked that they had prizes for certain activities.”

Olympics 101: Skates Just as a writer is only as clean as her spell-check and a musician only sounds as good as his instrument, a skater is limited by his skates. That’s why skate manufacturers design skates
their owners play, using features of the skate to enhance the skate’s utility in movements germane to the activity. There are several skaterelated events in the Winter Olympics, and each has its own style of skate suited to the sport. Hockey skates are designed to enable skaters to change direction quickly while protecting the foot from harm. Hockey players must adjust to the placement of the puck and other players constantly; they do not have the luxury of knowing their path. Because they must adapt constantly, the blades on hockey skates are shorter to allow for greater maneuverability.

footwear is constructed accordingly. The skates are not as reinforced as hockey skates because there is not nearly as much risk of another skater’s blade contacting the boot. Additionally, extra protection would weigh down the skates, which need to be light in order for skaters to perform various jumps and spins. One critical feature of pick, which is a toothed portion of the blade right at the front. The toe pick is used to help skaters dig into the ice to gain traction for jumps. Without the toe pick, planting would be unstable, and skaters would have trouble gauging the power of their jumps because of a lack of consistent pushing off. Speed skates look quite different from both hockey designed simply to go fast. The longer blade proeach stride.

more mobility of the foot and morer time spent with the blade on the ice on each stride. Short track skates are attached at the heel for stability because skaters need more control on short tracks as they take choppier steps rounding turns. The boot is also cut a bit higher than the long track boot for the same reason. Skates are not the only equipment adapted for different activities, but the variations certainly provide an advantage to those wearing them for their intended sport.

Freshman guard Anthony Johnson scored six points off the bench, and Hill said his playing time is coming from what Johnson has been able to show in practice. “He’s starting to get more minutes because he’s starting to earn more trust in practice,” Hill said. “He’s starting to be dialed in a little bit better, starting to defend a little bit better.

a near fall in the third period. Chirino said he doesn’t allow tough matches to wear on Trey Andrews him mentally because his preparation prior to the match continues while he’s on the mat. “Before every match I psych myself up,” Chirino said. “I reinforce myself tell myself, ‘I am in better shape, I am a better wrestler, I am going to attack him. I’m not going to conceive defeat.’ I just boost my self-esteem that way. I don’t only do it before my match; I do it on a regular basis. I think about the op-
ponent I’m going to wrestle, and I convince myself that I’m better than him, I deserve to win more than him. I think that’s the difference between me and a lot of guys.” Jackrabbits sophomore Ben Gillette earned the only major decision of the dual, defeating Bears freshman Sonny Espinoza (133) with a score of 17-5.

Nuggets have track record of mediocrity Avalanche success a refreshing surprise Think About It By Daymeon Vaughn
Being a supporter of the Denver Nuggets has seen its share of highs and lows ever since I can remember. in 2000, when there was hope entering the season. Yet they ended up just under .500 with a record of 40-42. At that point I became aware of the mediocrity of the Nuggets organization. The problems Denver has faced when it comes to professional basketball are getting a coach who can tutor such a talent and adding pieces to put around him. puzzle was selected in the 2003 draft: lottery pick Carmelo Anthony. I’ve followed him since his days in high school at Oak Hill Academy and through his one-and-done national championship season with the Syracuse Orangemen. Thought to be Denver’s savior, Anthony had a noticeable affect on the team leading the Nuggets at 22.8
three seasons. After three short playoff appearances, it was evident that there was change needed around Denver’s superstar to get over the hump, so for the end of the 2005-06 season they brought in an equally talented coach in George Karl. Owner Stan Kroenke has rotated through three general managers since 2000, starting with Kiki Vandeweghe. build a team as he pleased, Vandeweghe traded for a past lottery pick Marcus Camby in 2002 and drafted Anthony in 2003. He tried to build around Melo with former all-star Kenyon Martin in 2004 and was the man to bring in Karl in 2005 but was replaced after that season. Assumed to be a match made in heaven, the superstar and coach had their disagreements throughout their time together. However, they made the playoffs each season they worked together. Through those years, the Nuggets regained their place as the league’s most mediocre franchise. Making the playoff consistently, they only got past the The 2006-07 season saw Kroenke hire Masai Ujiri as general manager. A protégé of Vandeweghe, Ujiri

built depth for the Nuggets with experienced and international players. During his tenure as an executive in Denver, he traded for the king of the crossover, Allen Iverson. After Iverson became more of a distraction than an asset, he was traded for Mr. Big Shot Chauncey Billups, a Denver hometown hero, in 2009. Also, Ujiri was known to be the one that acquired center Nene in 2002 who was key in Denver’s run to the Western Conference Finals in 2009. Tim Connelly took the in 2013 after Ujiri was named the NBA’s executive of the year and decided to take on new endeavors in Toronto. This was after Denver’s antichrist Anthony quit on the organization and took his talents to New York. The last hope, 2013 Coach of the Year illegitimately, and yet again the Nuggets stumbled back to their old ways with a pedestrian 24-27 record this season after the hire of new coach Brian Shaw. —Daymeon Vaughn is a senior political science major and sports reporter for The Mirror.

for the Avalanche in 2006. The Avs’ new chapter
Sanchez Says By Dylan Sanchez
Currently on break for the Olympics, the NHL’s most shocking story has to be the revamped Colorado Avalanche and its surprising performance this season. Last season the Avs won 16 of 48 games, which put them in 29th place in the 30-team NHL. Glimpses of young Avs, but there was always a piece missing. Patrick Roy and Joe Sakic provided an offseason spark. Longtime captain Sakic was named executive vice president of hockey operations, increasing his Roy, who led the Avalanche to two Stanley Cup Championships as a goalie, was put behind the bench as head coach. Even with the new additions, few expected what has happened this season. The Avs have taken the league by storm, sitting third in their division and sixth in the league with 79 points, just eight behind the leagueleading Anaheim Ducks. The change in the team when Sakic brought back retired captain Adam Foote to be a defensive coach and 34-year-old left winger Alex Tanguay, who last played
the season: a blowout win against the aforementioned Ducks. No. 1 pick Nathan MacKinnon showed his talent and intensity, scoring and scrapping. Roy displayed his competitive side, pushing down the plexiglass between the benches in coach Bruce Boudreau. The team started 6-0, tying the NHL record for best start by a new coach. From top to bottom, the Avs have been one of the fastest teams in the league, blowing past defenders and using quick defensemen to keep the puck in the offensive zone. On the defensive end opposing teams have to deal with goalies Semyon Varlamov and Jean-Sebastian Giguere who have been strong for the team so far. The Avs are in a position to enter the postseason for Young stars Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog, Semyon Varlamov, and veteran Paul Stastny have

UNC music professor in seven-piece band makes top 50 on jazz charts David Ochoa
arts@uncmirror.com
In comparison to the ‘50s and ‘60s, the 1990s is not a decade renowned for its leaping achievements in jazz. By the ‘90s, critics had begun to call for a death art form went through a bit of an identity crisis. Regardless, musicians were quietly laying the groundwork for a bright future. If you’re holding this paper (or reading this on your computer), chances are good that the 1990’s are a decade that symbolize your childhood. While many kids were still listening to the latest Backstreet Boys single, the members of 7 on 7 were beginning their musical relationship. 7 on 7 is a jazz septet that recently released “Back When It Was Fun,” an album comprised
Courtesy 7 on 7
of seven original compositions by each member of the band recorded at the University of Northern Colorado’s recording center. The group is composed of accomplished musicians who, are successful educators around the country. The rhythm section features a large portion of the UNC
jazz faculty with Jim White on drums, Steve Kovalcheck on guitar, Erik Applegate on bass and Dana Landry on piano. “Back When It Was Fun” also features Clay Jenkins on trumpet, Paul McKee on trombone and Don Aliquo on saxophone. Applegate recently recounted how the group came to fruition through various personal connections. “Jim, Dana and I started playing together around 1998 in Nashville and around that time Don Aliquo moved to town,” Applegate said. “In fact, the four of us played (on) one of Don’s records called ‘Another Reply.’ So those four of us have been playing together, gosh, that’s pushing 15 years.” Applegate went on to explain that his relationship with McKee stretches back to the late 90’s
as well and eventually, through various connections, both Kovalcheck and Jenkins were brought into the fold. After establishing a sense of musical synergy with each other the members of 7 on 7 found themselves in a fortunate position, uncommon in jazz. Instead of developing a musical conception and enlisting a small group of musicians to help execute that concept, the members were able to develop a sense of musical common ground over a span of time that traditionally isn’t available to the modern jazz musician. “The seven of us have been playing together at least once a year, if not three or four times, for over a decade now,” Applegate said. Throughout “Back When It Was Fun,” the size and instru-
mentation of 7 on 7 allows the members of the group to explore compositional avenues not available to them in a traditional trio or quartet setting, without committing to a large ensemble the size of a traditional big band. Tracks such as “Forgetful” showcase the septet’s ability to execute backgrounds and written ensemble solo sections more traditionally found in big band writing. Additionally, the use of distorted guitar on tracks such as “Full Moon Tea Party” and “Winds Of The Gullah” allows for a refreshing timbre not traditionally found in acoustic jazz that doesn’t feel forced or unnatural. The playing throughout the album can best be described as mature and exciting. Whether swinging See Jazz on page 23
