The Mirror Poll:
Editor-in-chief: Alexandria Adair Vasquez
THE MIRROR editor@uncmirror.com As a black feminist who has no idea when to shut her mouth, I’m used to creating enemies. I have been called a “social justice warrior.” I have been told I need to stop being so divisive and living up to the stereotype of Angry Black Woman. I have also been told to go back to Africa, if America is too racist for my taste. As a result, I have learned over the years how to acknowledge when I’ve pushed too hard. Knowing how to apologize, after all, is the sign of a mature soul. It’s still nothing but laughable, however, when I come up against the types of debaters who like
Last week’s question:
Reflects
Thoughts from the editorial staff of The Mirror
Attention bigots: ‘Reverse racism’ is not actually a thing
to claim reverse racism. What is reverse racism? In speaking about institutional racism in America, the social theorists who study the tangible effects of racism can point to things like the schoolto-prison pipeline and soaring numbers of black men entangled in the court system as markers of racially charged injustices. These wrongdoings are the result of racism on a systemic level. In speaking about events like Black History Month or, say, the 11th Annual Summit for Social Justice and Diversity held on this campus, what can critics point to? Where are the tangible, negative
effects that white people are suffering as a result of these kinds of events? Even if it were true that the majority of the nation is living in a post-racial state, in which racism is something only our mothers and grandmothers had to endure, it would not be correct to make accusations of reverse racism. Simply having the guts to bring up race in conversation and talk about it plainly—or even hold an event on a university campus to discuss it— does not make someone a racist. Pointing out the ways in which white people ized racism is not merely a case of those darn minori-
ing your privilege and listening to what those perpetual victims have to say. The way to realize ‘the dream’ isn’t by putting on our color-blind sunglasses. It’s true that the conversation needs to focus on the very real ways in which the government has a hand in disenfranchising entire communities. But we can’t pretend that racism is coming from an entity that, somehow, isn’t made up of people. - Alexandria Vasquez

Letter to the editor: Diversity summit not welcoming enough for all “white supremacist” and “racist through omission” were thrown around without concern for any ago “White Supremacy” was used to describe overt, racist philosophies of groups like the KKK. Isn’t it bigoted to resurrect the term and apply it to an entire group of people, most of whom have summarily rejected that en-
tire notion? Today it’s almost obligatory to blame white people and view black people as perpetual victims. This does a grave disservice to everyone. A majority of white people voted for a black President, hoping that we could get past this people accountable for what they actually do as individuals, rather than being pre-judged on the basis of which group they belong. Martin Luther King spoke passionately about his dream that we
could all one day be judged not by the color of our skin but by the content of our character. True diversity of thought is next to impossible when we are obliged to categorize people in these narrow, over-generalized ways. Replacing one kind of bigotry with another is hardly progress. The piece ends with a call by one organizer to “vote against policies that are going to be detrimental to black people.” Is there only one arbiter of that? That’s precisely where debate worthy of
a University ought to begin. Just because a government program claims to “help black people” doesn’t mean it ever actually has. I urge you to hold reporters and interviewees to a higher standard than this. Encourage deeper intellectual inquiry and stop accepting the same cliches without questioning what they mean or the results to which they have actually led. -C. Umbersen Greeley, CO

ties acting up and playing the name game. It’s the starting point to dialogue that is painfully needed, if people want to someday live in a world where they are only judged by the content of their character and not skin color. While it may touch a nerve in the hearts of some white people to read terms like “white supremacist” and “racist through omission,” silencing those who are speaking out about their oppression isn’t the answer to their problem.

At 13 years old, Estelle Laughlin was just old enough to escape death in a Holocaust extermination camp. With enough seating for 1,000 people, there was only standing room available at the Holocaust Memorial Observances event last Wednesday night in the University Center Ballroom, where Laughlin was the featured speaker. For nearly 30 years, Greeley has observed the history of the Holocaust through this event. Laughlin was originally meant to present for the 2013 Observances, but she was instead invited by President Barack Obama to travel to Warsaw, Poland that year. Laughlin lived in the Warsaw Ghetto as a child during time in 70 years that she had visited the place where she had grown up. Laughlin wanted to tell her story to honor the millions of innocent people who were killed in World War II for being born into what was an unaccepted religion at the time. She began her story by pointing out her happiness about

There are still people suffering, and I hope my story helps them—and you—to learn from others’ past mistakes,” Laughlin said at the beginning of her speech. “My purpose of sharing this story is not to only put darkness on the events that happened.” Laughlin was just 13 years old when the war that harmed millions of innocent people, including her family, erupted. She said that every day was full of fear, and fear came extremely fast as she was marched to an extermination camp that housed Jewish people. She said the Jewish community in Poland was told they were greedy and were stopped in the middle of the streets by the Nazis to have their pockets picked. She also said their food was rationed, and clothing and “If that’s not greed, then I don’t know what is,” she said to the crowd with a smile. Laughlin said that in these camps, the men, women and

She said she was doomed to survive, yet 72 years later, she became a motivational speaker who has told her story to thousands of people. Laughlin said she used her motivation to overcome the horrors of the Holocaust, and she aims to inform others of the horrors she experienced as a child. “Motivation is to do the best you can and as humanely as possible,” she said. While Laughlin explained and described many events for the spectators, she reminded the audience multiple times that it was impossible to describe everything. She encouraged audience members who wanted more detailed information to check out her book, “Transcending Darkness.” Irvin Lazcano, a freshman business major, said he found Laughlin’s story captivating. “It was interesting to see someone who experienced said. Miguel Coronado, a freshman business major, said he was also moved by Laughlin’s story and presentation. “It amazed me that she had gone through such a tragedy, and it encourages me to read her book and learn more about her experience,” he said Laughlin reiterated that even though these experiences were a struggle in her past, she said she thinks that people today can learn from the tragedies of the Holocaust. “My mother told my sister and I that life is sacred, and the world has a conscience,” Laughlin said. “History will always remember.”

Plains Indian artifacts showcased again after 31-year absence Monique Becker
news@uncmirror.com
After the anthropology department downsized at UNC in 1983, the anthropology museum disappeared—and took its collection of Plains and Southwest Native American artifacts with it. While the artifacts had been dispersed and mostly forgotten, members of the anthropology department said it was a surprise when they received a phone call from the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center saying that they wanted to return the collection. Because of this phone call, more than 200 Southwest pots, basketry and Plains artifacts are now on display in Michener Library. A small exhibit consisting of two parts, Plains Area Culture and Bead and Leather Work, had its grand opening last Thursday. “I think it’s a pity that they don’t have this stuff in a display room,” said Everardo Bonnila-Cardenas, a senior social sciences major. “A tiny museum would be nice; it the university.” The Plains Area Culture section held tools that several different Native American tribes once used in every day life. The information about the tribes that accompanied the artifacts explained that many of them were nomadic. Nomadic, or hunter-gatherer, tribes functioned by following the animals they hunt. While many tribes were nomadic, some practiced agriculture and mainly grew corn, beans and squash. Many of the artifacts provided for the Bead and Leather
Work display were beaded by hand. The display also held a pipe bag, as well as the tools used to build the pipes and one of the pipes that was kept in the bag. To produce the detailed beading on clothing and bags that belongings were kept in, a pointed tool called an awl was used to poke holes in the leather before metal needles were introduced to the tribes. The information provided about the Beaded and Leather Work explained that the hides of buffalo were dried to create the leather that Native Americans used for their huts, clothing and many other tools. To make the leather porous, the Native Americans used the brain matter from the buffalo to wash the hide as it dried. Sean Clason, a senior history major and anthropology minor, organized the exhibit for an archaeology class project.
The collection is named after Edgar Lee Hewett, a former faculty member and archaeologist from the 1890s. UNC students and faculty are still researching some of the artifacts included in the exhibit. Future displays will be planned with the help of Miof anthropology and history. The exhibit “Lost, Now Found: Plains Indian Artifacts the UNC community.

While all students involved in an ensemble are required to work one shift, students who work additional shifts can get free tickets to the evening concerts. What’s always most surprising to
me is that although there are so many moving parts and so much individual responsibility on behalf of the students, things always seem to come together seamlessly. A typical day for most UNC students involved with the festival includes some mixture of festival work shifts, performing with school ensembles, attending clinics, and watching performances. The time between these actives is practice, and, if you’re lucky, a few hours of sleep. While the weekend is especially taxing for most students, its compounded by its timing. Unlike most majors,

Head coach Earnest Collins Jr. said aside from having to call too many timeouts, he endent about the team’s future. “It was good to see the kids rolling around, having fun,” Collins said. “Overall, it was good.” Due to a special scoring system, the offense, represented in blue, were able to tally other plays. The defense received points for forcing a punt or turnover, interception or fumble for touchdown, among other things. The defense started off strong, but the offense shot back, following the start of the second quarter, bringing the game to a tie at the half. The second half of the game consisted of several tackles, most of them coming from redshirt freshman Nathan Shephard and sophomore linebacker Brandon Miller who each tallied seven. Touchdowns were also apparent with senior running back Robert Holland and Mark Harro | The Mirror

I think the D came out super down a little bit but we never took our foot off the gas. Then both teams just came together to make it a really productive spring game.” Redshirt sophomore quarterback Sean Rubalcaba went 15-of-24 passing for 134 yards with no turnovers. The second redshirt quarterback on the team is freshman Brant Berglund who went 9-for-17 passing for 72 yards. Rubalcaba, who is the team’s current standing quarterback, said he feels comfortable in the quarterback spot but in his eyes, there is still work that needs to be done. “I feel pretty comfortable but I’m keeping my foot on the gas right now,” Rubalcaba said. “I want to separate myself from everyone and I want to prove to everyone that I am in the position where I am because I earned it, See football on page 15

After his collegiate career, Iwasaki has had success as a head coach in Austin, Texas, owned his own sporting goods business and worked as a general manager for a minor league baseball franchise in Hawaii. When Iwasaki said he thought hard before becoming a part of the university as a coach, he explained the decision as a tough one because he had built a successful program in Texas. Essentially he chose UNC because he said he felt the need to give back to community which helped shape who he is today.
the Bears, Iwasaki led the team to 19-7 in conference play as well as West Conference tournament the following season. In 2013, Iwasaki and his staff guided Northern Colorado to a 20-7 league record ence regular-season title. One of the assistant coaches who helped make the team’s goal into a reality is hitting instructor Patrick Perry, who helped last season’s team set a school record for triples with 39, which was the highest in the nation.

He continued to play in the minor In regards to professional ball, Perry said it was a great experience that taught him a lot about failing. He also explained how he uses those experiences in his coaching techniques. “I learned a lot about what it takes to succeed in life and the kind of commitment and sacquired,” Perry said. “I think this year more than any year I’ve been more open with guys about
how that experience went. A lot of times you hear ‘oh, played pro ball’ and that’s about as far as you year you hit under 200 and to go from one of the better hitters in college to an all-time low in pro ball. To call on that experience to the guys helps them relate to you as a coach.” Adam Hilker is another UNC alum who has made his way into a coaching position for the UNC baseball team.

UNC baseball coaches make magic on and off the diamond Baseball from page 13
Assistant coach, R.D. Spiehs is in his third season at UNC. Prior to coming to UNC, Spiehs spent a number of years playing collegiately and professionally. While playing at the University of Nebraska, Spiehs made it to the College World Series but didn’t take the championship. Spiehs said the College World Series is something he’ll never forget, and that the experience helped build his character. “Good coaches and good players turned into a regional my freshman year, superregional one game away from Omaha my sophomore year and the junior campaign was lucky enough to get to the College World Series and it’s a time that I’ll never forget,” Spiehs said. “Not only because of the wins and championships but to know what hard work really went into it.” Spiehs also played in the minor league for seven years then coached at Grayson County College before joining the Bears. Last season, Northern Colorado won its Conference. The accomplishment is still talked about on campus today. Nick Miller, a senior baseball player at UNC, said one of the reasons the confer-
ence title meant so much to him is because it showed those who doubted the Bears what the baseball program is really capable of. “That was such a fun time because everything was going so good and everybody was happy and everybody was friends and it was awesome,” Miller said. “That’s what I really enjoyed and that’s the way it should be and that’s the way it’s going to continue to be, I just know it.” Though UNC has had some success, the team felt it needed to make more changes in order to continue moving the program in the right direction. Perhaps one of the biggest changes that’s taken place for Northern Colorado baseball is its exit from the Great West Conference and transition into the Western Athletic Conference. The transition from the GWC, a conference that doesn’t have an automatic qualinounced last season. The switch, although not as smooth as the coaches hoped, is still valuable, according to Spiehs. Spiehs also said the future success for the Bears lie in the way they play in the next couple of weeks. “We need wins. We also need to stay collaborative and stay together,” Spiehs said. “Winning the regular season WAC isn’t go-

ing to happen for us. Is winning the tournament still a possibility? Sure. Anything can happen in baseball. Teams get hot at the right time and a lot of things can happen.” Miller, explained how even though his time left on the team is dwindling down to a couple of weeks and the team isn’t accomplishing all that is expected, his pride in the program still hasn’t waived. “I know we’re having little bit of a down
season but I still enjoy every day of it. It’s awesome to wear the Bears jersey,” Miller said. Perry is another strong believer of what Northern Colorado baseball can achieve. “I really believe that if supported the correct way, and that’s from a lot of different places, the alumni, the university, the athletic department, we can really do some magical things here.”

Junior second baseman Melissa Marcovecchio also delivered a three-run round-
tripper, which came in the third inning. Junior third baseman Kaitlin Flynn added a home run of her ning, which proved to be the last inning as the eight-run lead was enough to institute the mercy rule.

Our juries usually entail performing from a list of required repertoire in addition to the repertoire studied over the course of the semester, all of which is memorized. In the fall, this usually poses no problem, but in spring this means the festival occupies the weekend and much of the week leading up to juries.
