Campus awarded with tree-friendly honor Brennen Karl

news@uncmirror.com

The Arbor Day Foundation announced recently that for the second consecutive year, UNC has received the Tree Campus USA designation. Tree Campus USA is a national program that honors universities for effective forest management on campus and for engaging students and staff in conversations about goals. This designation is important to the university community, according to University of Northern Colorado President Kay Norton. "Prospective students and their families and other visitors frequently mention that our beautiful campus is an important aspect of UNC's overall desirability, and the nearly 3,700 trees we have play a key role in that impression,” Norton said. To achieve this Tree Campus USA designation, UNC met the

Program. First, a university must have a Campus Tree Advisory Committee, which includes representatives from the student body, faculty, facility management and the community. Second, the university must have a goal-oriented Tree Care Plan. Third, the Arbor Day Foundation requires that universities allocate at least three dollars per full time enrolled student for its annual tree program. Fourth, universities must observe Arbor Day, which is the last Friday of April. Finally, the university must provide an opportunity to engage students in conversation about future plans and projects involving trees. Richard Jurin, manager of the environmental and sustainability studies program at UNC, said this designation is a great honor.

“It shows UNC we care about how our campus looks and protect unique trees enough to want to plant even more,” Jurin said. “We even have tree walks around campus.” In fact, UNC is developing a self-guided tour of the campus arboretum using information collected by Pat McDonald, the campus manager of landscaping & grounds, and Brent Engel, his colleague. During the summer of 2012, Pat McDonald and Brent Engel walked through the 246 acre campus and cataloged by hand the 3,695 trees. This number is around 1,300 more trees than was originally estimated. “I honestly think that the UNC grounds look beautiful, and I think they do a great job keeping them looking great all year,” said Amanda Forsting, a senior psychology and sociology major. “My favorite time is fall, when the grass is still green, the skies

section between Ninth Avenue and 19th Street, there is a champion Pecan tree. A champion Kentucky coffee tree stands northwest of Frasier Hall, and there are two Amur cork trees both north and south of Gray Hall. “I love the way our campus looks,” Forsting said.

Private citizens question legality of NSA surveillance Shadae Mallory

news@uncmirror.com

President Barack Obama recently addressed the matter of the National Security Agency directly in a public speech and, while he targeted the main issue of surveillance on private American citizens, there were still questions left unanswered. The biggest question on the University of Northern Colorado campus seems to be, “What is the NSA, and how is this legal?” The National Security Agency was originally created by President Truman during the Cold War to spy on the Soviet Bloc. In more recent years, however, the agency has strayed from looking only into the affairs and interests of potential dangers to monitoring the private citizens of the United States. It can be labeled a simple “safety” precaution on the part of the government, gets down to the initial intentions behind the NSA. Where the problems are arising, however, is in the realm of the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution which states:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported scribing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” This is where the controversy comes from—does the government have reasonable cause to monitor all of our phone calls, Internet activity including, but not limited to emails, Facebook posts and instant messages? Many citizens are questioning whether or not the NSA is performing within legal parameters. “This is a very tricky topic to cover,” said Gregory Williams, a lecturer of political science at UNC. “The controversy is brought up because the NSA is gathering intelligence on everyday American citizens. Regular police departments have to have a probable cause to get a warrant and gather information, but the National Security Agency does the opposite. They gather all of the information and only look over it when they have a means to.”

According to a court case with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in July of 2013, the actions of the NSA are legal—at least as far as listening to phone calls goes. “I understand that the government says it’s legal,” said Nicole Janitell, a freshman music education major. “But it still feels like my rights are being violated when they admit to doing this, to listening to our phone calls and watching our internet activity.” So how, exactly, is it legal that the United States Government has access to the private lives of American citizens – access that not even regular police departments have? “See, the National Security Agency says that they are using their technology primarily on those with contacts with foreign nationals,” Williams said. “But the problem with this is that when we send emails, they do not take the fastest route to get to their destination—they take the cheapest route. This may mean that an e-mail being sent from (Greeley) to Denver may go through a satellite in Toronto before it ever reaches Denver. That e-mail was sent within the

United States, but to the NSA it looks international.” With so much controversy around this important government agency, President Obama addressed his plans for reform of the NSA in a January speech. He listed a few areas of reform including: a new directive when dealing with signals found at home and abroad, changing how programs and procedures are conducted to provide better transparency to surveillance activities and calling upon Congress to create a group of unbiased people to provide an independent voice in ligence Surveillance Court. “I believe we need a new approach. I am therefore ordering a transition that will end the Section 215 bulk metadata program as it currently exists,” Obama said. The President is leaning toward cutting down the amount of surveillance on the people, which many citizens feel is necessary. “I think there is a place for the NSA, but is,” said Caedi Coler, a junior elementary education major.

Employment opportunities ripe this summer Jennifer Hazeldine

Recruiters smiled as they conversed with curious students about employment opportunities on Tuesday at the Camp, Recreation and Summer Student Employment Fair in the University Center. The fair included recruiters from various summer camps across the country, recreation centers in the state, student tutors in Weld County and UNC on-campus employment. The Camp, Recreation and Summer Student Employment Fair is an annual event established by career services that provides students with pus employment. Each employer set up his or her own table lined with information about each position, along with applications and brochures. At summer camps, employees get to experience a rewarding and heartfelt summer helping campers learn outdoor skills such as swimming, camping, hiking, climbing wall and horseback riding. Some camps will even offer more unique activities such Becky Saad, a camp director for Girls Scouts of America, said there are many rewarding aspects about working at a summer camp. “It’s being able to give camp that second home that will always be with the campers and staff no matter where they go in life, a little bit of camp magic to always carry with them,” Saad said. No matter which summer camp staff members seem to have similar opinions about the camp experience. “It's probably one of the hardest jobs you will ever love,” said Mark Tjaden, outdoor adventure director at Indian Head Camp.

Guest speaker Devin T. Robinson X ended up shirtless on stage last Thursday night after his performance, “From Property to President,” in Milne Auditorium at Kepner Hall. Robinson X, who also goes by the stage name Egypt, kicked off UNC’s Black History Month events with his one-man show that took audience members on a tour of black American history and culture. Despite the packed room, which he said made him nervous about putting on a good show, Robinson X seemed prepared to take the audience on an engaging journey. Robinson X recounted the true story of his great-great-grandfather who dared to teach his grandchildren to read while enslaved. He was violently punished for his offense. The piece started out with a slow pace that picked up and eventually turned into a nonstop

stream of words that seemed to keep the audience rapt with attention. Robinson X’s personal link to slavery is what motivated him to change his last name. “I added the X to my last name for the love of my unknown Afri-

can Heritage and left the Robinson because of all of the work my family has done with that name,” Robinson X said on his website. Robinson X’s second piece was called “Black Face.” Before telling the story of a black man attempting to join an all-white choir

X was unfurling layer after layer of the oppression of black people in America with each piece he had prepared. “Slave” was the piece Robinson X closed the show with. Perhaps the most raw performance Robinson X was shirtless for it. tive, it was the story of an African man who has been kidnapped and shipped into slavery. Robinson X brought to life the unspeakable horrors that black Americans have endured in the past, and he also linked his pieces to more current affairs. “It was cool to see different

stories of actual experiences of people to get an idea of how people were treated,” said Shanice Clarke, a senior human services major. In one of his pieces, Robinson X mentioned the way black men and women still embrace the eurocentric beauty standards that were instilled during slavery, and in his piece called “Death of a Black Panther” Robinson X examined the way in which the Black Panther Party was portrayed as a group of thugs and criminals by the media and government. This bled into a contemporary example of racially disparate media coverage of news: Robinson X indicted the media’s labeling of Justin Bieber as a “misguided youth” while Seattle Seahawks’ cornerback Richard Sherman was deemed a “thug” despite his Stanford credentials. The audience seemed to agree heartily, calling out and snapping in approval when Robinson X broached the topic. “Our boys don’t have any room to be children at all,” Robinson X said.

University 101 breaks down memory, learning strategies Jennifer Hazeldine

that most individuals struggle with, according to Vaughan.

Angela Vaughan, director of University 101, instructed a short study skills workshop regarding learning strategies Wednesday at the University Center. The class detailed how individuals can make the most out of the information they obtain from college classes as well as daily life experiences. Vaughan opened the class with discussion of the memory continuum, or longterm versus short-term memory, and how the human brain organizes information. “Just because something is easy to understand does not mean that it is always easy to remember,” Vaughan said. “We have to be intentional in what we are learning, regardless of what it is.” The capacity for short-term memory is very limited and will only last about 20 seconds. Conversely, long-term memory age. However, it is the point of retrieval

to the learning strategies session was a “free recall task,” in which participants were asked to listen to 12 words Vaughan read aloud. The words were all related to the theme of bedtime. After a pause of 10 seconds, the participants wrote down as many of the 12 words they could remember. The majority of participants could not remember all 12 of the words. Some participants even wrote words that Vaughan did not say simply because it was related to bedtime, such as “sleep.” “I have done this exercise one time before,” junior elementary education major Marisa Roggensack said after completing the exercise. “I had remembered that she didn’t say sleep, but I was still surprised that I wanted to write down sleep 20 times.” According to Vaughan, one of the most powerful ways to recall information

is through association. With association, connections within the brain will become thicker and will result in faster recall. “It just reinforces the how the power of association and assumption play a role in our lives,” Roggensack said. Learning strategies can be divided into long-term or short-term memory. Every strategy that involves rehearsal, is placed into short-term memory. Strategies that involve original thought, such as creating your own examples, asking questions, drawing pictures or diagrams and creating associations are placed into long-term memory. The best way to remember information for upcoming tests and exams, Vaughan said, would be to use a healthy balance of both long-term and short-term memory strategies. Because visual imagery is a longterm learning strategy, it proves to be efpoint, Vaughan asked her participants to

remember a grocery list in an exercise called “memory palace.” This time, she created a story about touring through the University Center. For example, students might see a cow working at Taco Bell to symbolize “hamburger” and then see a clown juggling eggs at Starbucks to symbolize “eggs.” When the imaginary tour ended, almost everyone in the room managed to relike with the previous exercise. Vaughan recommends that the more ridiculous the story, the easier it will be to recall in the future. She said sexual imagery is also an attractive model. Elizabeth Buchholz, a senior biology major, said this practice will be useful in her studies. “I am going to use memory palace making the story because, being a biology major, you need to know a lot of terms, so I think that will help,” Buchholz said. More study workshops are listed on the UNC calendar at calendar.unco.edu.

On the tour

he played multiple characters, including Shrek, more than 20 times. “They say life is half about what you know and half who you know,” Zicker said. “And I can say without a doubt, both can be found at UNC.” An event this large takes a lot of time and dedication to complete. It may be surprising to some to know that much of this

show is run and organized by students. “The students put in a great amount of work. Look at the program: each interlude is completely set up by students,” Professor of Music Richard Mayne said. “The event is largely a collection of each group’s hard work, put together in the end to make this event,” Mayne said.

If you’re reading this column, you probably have had an experience with beer. Those experiences lead to stories, but rarely do our conversations center on the beer involved. As a brewing scientist, it’s important to discuss the beer and really get into the fundamentals of its composition instead of simply rehashing your drunken exploits. Beer in its simplest form is comprised of four seemingly uninteresting elements: water, hops, malted barley and yeast. In the 1500s German purity laws (Reinheitsgebot) were enacted, so beer could be made solely with these four ingredients. Although the beer drinkers worldwide need not look any farther than these four basics for a good brew. The most inconspicuous of these ingredients, water, is possibly the most important. bad, the beer will taste bad.

Beer’s second most common ingredient is malted barley or some other type of cereal grain. I know when some people hear cereal grain, they immediately think of breakfast. I would love to see someone try to make a Cap’n Crunch beer. Nonetheless barley is more of a bread-y grain, similar to wheat and rye but without the same nutritional value.

She said she is highly compassionate for the community and sees enormous potential in creating community through art, which has become the basis for her show. In her spare time, Stanford enjoys contributing to the community, creating artwork, making coffee, socializing with others and meeting new people. Her show works include mostly stained wood embellished with colored threads, knobs, nails and other décor. One of her creations in the show is a large artwork that anyone can contribute to, not only on opening day, but throughout the entire month of February. Each guest may take a piece of colored thread, and then wind it around nails in a pattern. Visiwin the community art piece at the end of the month. “It fun to see people come together and contribute to a piece as a community and then have someone be able to take that home,” Stanford said. Stanford is fascinated by the science of and appreciation of the earth is where she derives most of her inspiration for her creations. She said she enjoys placing visuals

into nature by creating narrations and illustrations within each art piece. “I would say that Kati inspires me,” senior international affairs major Sarah Mark said at the show. “Her personality and uniqueness shows in her work. She inspires me to do the same and express myself.” Staining is a technique that is new to Stanford, but she said she takes delight in attempting new ways to create art. Many of her pieces have a beginning concept before they are created, but the process from start ues to discover new ideas, techniques, and methods. Her vision develops as she creates. “As an artist, it is so important to try anything and everything, all different kinds of media,” Stanford said. “This has been a very fun experiment for me with staining, drilling and embroidery on a substance tough as wood.” Stanford said that she enjoys working with mistakes if she comes across one because problem solving promotes creativity. She said she loves a good challenge and knows that she can make it beautiful. In fact, Stanford often uses materials that some people would often overlook, or miss the hidden beauty. Recycled material and other cost-friendly items make their way into her work. Stanford said she believed that items such as these bring out personality within the work. “My favorite piece of Kati’s is Lush Life II,” said Danielle Cogan, a sophomore international affairs and German major. “I like the color in it, and the wood in the background. It’s just interesting.”

This class is for anyone who has an interest in J.R.R. Tolkien whether they’ve read all of his novels, a few of his poems or “I would recommend this class to any Tolkien fan or anyone who is interested in getting to know the author and his works better,” Hildebrand said. “I took the class even though I knew very little about Tolkien’s works. My background knowledge was limited to the old illustrated version of ‘The Hobbit’ and Peter Jackson’s movies, so this class is a good way to fully read all of his novels and other works.” Students interested in this class should keep an eye out and be sure to contact Dr. Kristin Bovaird-Abbo for more information at Kristin.BovairdAbbo@unco.edu.

Following a loss at Wyoming on Friday came another defeat for the UNC wrestling team. The Bears lost 28-11 to North Dakota State upon returning to ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion for the “As a team, I thought we wrestled much better than we did at Wyoming,” head coach Ben Cherrington said. “Tonight we went out and competed much harder, and I’m happy with that but obviously disappointed with the outcome of the dual overall.” The University of Northern Colorado’s sophomore Mitchell Polkowske (157) was one of three Bears to walk away with a victory as he beat NDSU’s Tanner Carlisle 16-0. Though Polkowske won, he said he wasn’t completely satopponent. He said he felt disrespected about North Dakota State choosing a lighter opponent to compete against him instead of someone closer to the 157-pound limit of his weight bracket. “To be honest, it kind of pissed me off that they’re going to throw someone like that,” Polkowske said. “I kind of feel disrespected, a little bit, that they’re throwing a lighter guy in. It didn’t really mess with me as far as throwing me off my game, but it kind of

made me a little angry.” Cherrington explained why he thought North Dakota State opted for the late substitution. “This time of year, it’s tough because you’re trying to get prepared for the conference tournament, trying to keep your guys healthy,” Cherrington said. “But you also have a lot of matches that you have to step on the mat for, so I can understand from North Dakota’s standpoint maybe not wrestling some of their guys. I mean if they’re dinged up and their match isn’t going to be a factor in the outcome of the dual, then there’s really no reason to wrestle a guy.” UNC heavyweight junior Henry Chirino’s victory over North Dakota State’s John Gusewell ended a personal two-match losing streak.

Pushing through the Super Bowl hangover Hockey bounces back over DU Like Towels By Michael Nowels

It’s been a week, now, and the cold has matched the taste left in the mouths of Broncos fans: bitter. From Grand Junction to Greeley, people still don’t want to talk about it. I can’t blame them. Denver’s history-rewriting offense saw a big, fast and brash Seattle defense. The Seahawks didn’t even need an interception from cornerback/meme Richard Sherman, who simply performed his job of smothering Eric Decker effectively. The hype overshadowed the product, as it is wont to do, in nearly every way. Now Denver fans are left hoping for repaired ACLs, re-signed playmakers and rebuilt psyches. There are now seven months of waitagain. Because football season is the only season of any kind that matters in our country, it’s hard to know what to do to combat the Super Bowl hangover. There’s no “hair-of-the-dog” remedy available; the only option is to try to rehydrate and caffeinate, but it’s hard to know what that looks like after months of eating, drinking and sleeping football. Thank goodness for the Olympics. It’s nice to replace the head injury crises of football with human rights concerns for a little while. Oh, right. It’s not. What is fun, though, is getting a chuckle out of the American bobsledder who broke down his hotel bathroom door because it wouldn’t open. We can laugh about the Olympic ring malfunction and say funny things on the Internet about it, too. Americans have the distinct luxury of rooting for the little guy while still expecting their country to win the medal count. So we get to cheer for the Indian luger who used apparent mind powers to move his wayward sled back under him, and we get to watch “Cool Runnings” and root for the Jamaican bobsled team because we know

our athletes are likely to beat them because their suits are better and we poured more money into training. Now that the room has stopped spinning, let’s get something in that stomach. Due to the Olympics the NHL is on pause, but the Avalanche has been shockingly good this season, which nobody noticed because of Peyton Manning. Joe Sakic and Patrick Roy are turning around the team like John Elway has with the Broncos, and the Avs are playing an exciting brand of hockey like they did when the head honchos were playing. Aside from the domestic abuse charges earlier in the season that were eventually dropped, goaltender Semyon Varlomov has been outstanding. No. 1 overall draftee Nathan MacKinnon’s speed and puck handling is jaw-dropping, and Roy’s aggressive coaching style has suited the team much better than the approach of former coach Joe Sacco. some of those cobwebs out of your brain. I won’t suggest running a marathon with all those Orange Crush and vodkas still in your stomach, but feeling out the world will help. I promise. American football may be more your speed, but the World Cup is just around the corner in all its workers’ abuse glory. Though the tournament in Brazil is tainted, moniker “the beautiful game.” If you’re soccer illiterate, the World Cup is a perfect opportunity to learn what the rest of the world loves about the sport. Just don’t expect much from the United States this time around—with powerhouse Germany, Ronaldo’s Portugal and a characteristically scrappy Ghana side in Group G with the U.S., an American advance out of pool play is unlikely. Take a page out of the Olympic fan playbook, and pick another country to follow while you learn about the game. As hard as it is to believe, there’s still a bright, shining sports world outside. It can be scary, but it’s well worth exploring. Grab a cup of coffee, put on your blackout sunglasses and venture out. — Michael Nowels is a senior elementary education major and the sports editor for The Mirror.

She said she was not concerned about being sick “When I get on a court there’s nothing

else that really matters, and I forget about a lot of things,” she said. White said she saw heightened awareness from Hiser on offense. “She’s been playing with a little more urgency going to the basket, and I think that’s Kyleigh Hiser where she’s recognizing, ‘Hey, I got a layup or I don’t’ and doing a good job that way,” White said. “Taking care of the ball—she probably got two turnovers late but for the most part, took care of the ball pretty good.” Junior guard Lindsay Mallon said her because of a plethora of foul calls and turnovers in the second half. “It’s hard when the whistle gets blown things,” Mallon said. “We knew they were going to come out and pressure hard. Especially when you’re down, you come out, you don’t really have anything to lose. It’s really hard when the whistle gets blown a lot, but we’ve adapted to that all season.” Weber State has not won a Big Sky game

Weber State played physical defense against Lee, just one aspect of a physical game play executed by the Wildcats. In total, 45 personal fouls were called in the game. Senior forward Kim Lockridge played just 25 minutes because of her own foul trouble, and White said the team has rarely had both Lockridge and Lee on the bench at the same time this season, making scoring from the post tricky.

We needed to see a ‘W,’” she said. “Going onto the road this next weekend, both Montanas are going to be tough teams and we really need to get a win on the road.
