The Mirror Poll:
Editor-in-chief: Steven Josephson
THE MIRROR editor@uncmirror.com This space has been used to tackle a broad range of big issues. Still, there’s one topic that I have long desired to cover but until today had shied away from. It’s not a big national issue, and it likely doesn’t impact massive swaths of the U.S. or global population. Some might even point to the fact that this column is being written as evidence of the anarchic death-spiral of modern culture. Still, it’s a chance I’m willing to take if I can reach out to just one person in the greater Greeley area and help them make a difference.

More testing is not the way to fix the educational system Passing Thoughts By Natasha Krech
Being a future teacher can often give a person an interesting perspective on life, especially as I am in a discipline that asks you to never take things at face value but to question everything. These days, I question the value of standardized testing. I read so many stories of teachers leaving their once beloved profession over the sheer amount of time spent testing and preparing for testing.
want to blame the teachers and layer on more testing. Teachers, already strained by
the sheer amount of legislation, time they already have between all the testing windows. At the same time, because test scores are used to “grade” schools, teachers feel obligated to teach to the test. This only further destroys the art of the teacher. Closing the achievement gap lies not in more testing, but rather in giving teachers more time to A recent article from the Denver Post shed some light on the issue, stating that the children of doctors and lawyers do better on these tests and those schools with higher percentages of low income students get lower “grades” by Colorado standards. Thus we must conclude that in order to start closing the achieve-

There is a lack of actual instruction time. The reality is that in the end it takes away from the art of teaching. To put it in the words of a teacher I had the pleasure of observing, “We weigh the pig and we weigh the pig and we weigh the pig but we almost never have time to feed the pig.” While I personally am not overly fond of comparing students to pigs, the metaphore certainly applies. We test and we test and we test, but where is the actual instruction time? Teachers and bureaucrats alike are concerned about the achievement gaps in the United States.

ment gap in Colorado, we need to cut down the testing and put that money toward schools that genuinely need it. Teachers will always do the best they can with what they have, and those students who care will respond to it in kind, thus causing school performance to rise as a whole. However if funding for schools is continually cut and put toward these tests, the achievement gap will continue to widen ever more, and those who struggle will continue to be further left behind despite the best intentions of the bureaucrats.

Commons will cost students
Alexandria Adair Vasquez news@uncmirror.com
An increase in student fees to help fund the new Campus Commons building was discussed by the senate, and several student organizations requested money from the Organization Funding Board for events in the University of Northern Colorado community. The members of Student Senate met March 12 before Spring Break in the University Center Council Room to discuss updates from around the campus. One topic that seemed to concern several members of senate during updates was that of the proposed Campus Commons building, which is in its early planning phases. It was noted that an increase in student fees to help fund construction of the new building was not discussed at the most recent UNC Board of Trustees meeting, but Student Senate President Oliver Bourne said it seemed that more sented at the upcoming June meeting. meeting last month President Kay Norton said the guesstimate cost would be about $70 million. Some senate members said that they feel they have heard

several different numbers about what the exact increase in cost for students yet. Christopher Rose, a setioned whether it would be fair to charge students for a building they won’t even be able to use. He made the point that it wouldn’t make sense to have students share that burden. Student Trustee Ben Fuller asked about the progress of Campus Commons focus groups. “They’re looking at a pretty penny, but there’s still no true budget,” Bourne said. He said the groups have discussed the purpose and location of the building, what will be located inside it and what technologies will be used. There were also three student groups to request funding from OFB. One group, Spectrum, is a group for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning students and their allies. The club requested $2,200 for help with putting together an Equality Ball. The event is geared toward informing the community about and celebrating marriage equality.

Members of the club are also looking for volunteers who can help to administer free screenings to those who can’t afford the cost of a hospital or clinic visit. Those interested in volunteering may sign up online at http:// Finally, members of Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. requested $3,000 in order to put on their an-
nual Latina Youth Leadership Conference. The event, which is geared toward mentoring young women of color and teaching them the value of higher education, has taken place on the UNC campus for the past 17 years.

When a person donated $100, the fraternity members had to ride the teetertotter for 24 hours straight. The fraternity members took turns riding this teetertotter nonstop until March 14. They even set up a tent next to the teeter-totter, so they could ride overnight and still have a place to rest and catch up on sleep. Members of the fraternity even rode for up to 10 hours each. The teeter-totter fundraiser was a new idea initiated by Lambda Chi Alpha this year, and members said it was a trial run to see how well it would go. Their initial goal was to raise $300, but passed that goal exponentially by the end of the week. Their new goal was to reach $1,000, which they ultimately met. All sororities and fraternities involved in Greek life are required to have a certain number of charity
the community, otherwise known as their philanthropy hours. The fundraiser appeared to be a philanthropic success for the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and the Weld Food Bank because of the unexpected amount of money donated. For every dollar that the Weld Food Bank makes, it is able to provide six meals. Helping to combat hunger is something the fraternity members seem used to, however, since the chapter is already well known for raising over 10,000 pounds of food at UNC recently. Lambda Chi Alpha decided to host a unique event, but there are other things people can do to help out. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities and chances to advocate ending hunger in Weld County. Weld Food Bank provides food box programs, a backpack program and various other programs aimed at curbing hunger in lowincome school children.

Candidates for Student Senate debate Alexandria Adair Vasquez news@uncmirror.com
Candidates for senate elections were given a chance to introduce themselves and their platforms to the UNC commuMarch 13. Garret Royer, election commissioner and parliamentarian, facilitated the event. Several other current members of Student were also in attendance and analyzing the answers candidates gave. Candidates for president, director of student trustee each had one minute to introduce themselves to the audience. They each then answered a series of questions from Royer and the audience. Royer said there are also 17 students in the running for the college councilor positions, thanks to a few last-minute applications. Students Adam Gardner, Zach Kilimann and Litsha Leeper were the last group of
each vying for the director of student affairs position. Gardner said he wanted to “create an agenda for students, by students” and foster outreach to the Greeley community. He also cited his experience with the Interfraas skills he could put to use in senate. Kilimann, a political science major, echoed those thoughts, saying that he sought to engage the greater Greeley community and give everyone a voice. When it came to Leeper, a communications major, to introduce herself she
resources on campus nearly every day. She said her goal as director of student affairs would be to better connect students to those resources. Royer asked each candidate how they would attempt to engage students with Student Senate throughout the year, given the poor recognition the senate receives on campus. He also asked them what steps they might take in order to plan events and utilize the Student Affairs Committee.
In response to the publicity image that Student Senate seems to have, Gardner’s suggestion was to host as many events as possible so that students can get to know their senate on a more personal level. “I’m interested in going out and actually speaking to students, instead of representing my own personal interests,” Gardner said. Leeper expanded beyond the idea of hosting events. Her suggestions included using desktop ads on university computers,
Kilimann said he wanted to see the senate use traditional advertisements like chalk displays on the pavement, as well as better grasp social media. “That is the world we live in, and we could utilize it a lot further,” said Kilimann. He continued to say that an effective use of social media may show students that senate is something they can connect with. once the forum was open to audience input was the extent of experience Gardner, Kilimann and Leeper had leading small groups.
He wanted to know how they would translate that experience to the position. Gardner said he has led a challenge course for seven years, and from that he has learned how to let go. “It’s not on me to make the goal happen, but to give them the opportunity to achieve the goal and create a sense of community and collaboration,” Gardner said. Kilimann cited his experience coaching a soccer team and dealing with different boundaries as a stepping stone to knowing how to impart life skills. Leeper, who is president of the social justice committee, gave an honest answer when she said the most important thing she has learned from managing people is tact. “Learn to communicate a message that’s helpful and not harmful,” Leeper said. She also said her larger goal while leading is to make sure that everyone feels included, human and like they are making valuable contributions to the project. The next open forum for Student Senate candidates will be held at 3:30 p.m. sity Center.

Workshop teaches students how to make posters that pop Staff Report
news@uncmirror.com
Breelyn Bowe | The Mirror
Stephen Mackessy shares tips with UNC students on how to deliver a successful and professional poster presentation.
While the “Undergraduate Research Workshop: Delivering a Stellar Poster Presentation” on March 10 focused on students in the sciences, the presentation on how to create posters for class projects hit several points that were cross-disciplinary. Stephen Mackessy, from the School of Biological Sciences, shared tips that would help any student at the University of Northern Colorado succeed. Mackessy told those in attendance that posters are good for sharing complex ideas and formats may vary with discipline. The advantages to a poster are that they are usually up for a long time, which is unlike a convention where speakers come and go in a more rapid order of succession. Mackessy also said posters have the advantage of allowing the presenter to interact with the audience in more detail, even though they cannot reach as many as people as oral presentations do. The key to any poster is to have a good idea, even if it is not fully completed. Explain the work and research put into the
project, why was it done and how. Mackessy emphasized that graphics are a must, and subtle color schemes are better. A simple poster is easier to look at for the audience than a tie-dye scheme would be. Some technical details Mackessy gave were that font size should not exceed 24 to 28 point with the exceptions of references, The main title should be between 48 and 60-point. The author’s name should be large and bold. The title itself needs to be brief and informative. He said to be sure to include all contributors. Another necessary technical bit is the abstract, which is a brief synopsis of the work. Mackessy said the introduction section of a poster is there to provide background and context to the reader. This one or two paragraph section may contain the thesis or statement of problem. The next section—materials and methods—may or may not be necessary depending upon the discipline. Mackessy said each discipline will have its own equivalent of this section, however. The
length of this section should be about 1020 percent of the poster. The third section important to a sucings and results, in which brief results of the data and an analysis are provided. Mackessy said not to discuss results in this section, and this should make up no more than 30-40 percent of the presentation. The last section includes the conclusions and discussions, which should be formatted into brief bullet points. Make sure to highlight major points, Mackessy cance of the results. Further, Mackessy said to question what contribution your research makes to the tion for further work. This should be no more than 10-15 percent of the poster. References need to be selective—only the most important should be listed alphabetically in a smaller font size. Mackessy said an acknowledgements section may or may not be necessary. Again, be brief. Mackessy said the most important lesson of all was to make every word on the poster count.

Presentation at UNC acknowledges race, integration needs Natasha Krech
news@uncmirror.com
The subject of race can be a touchy one. On March 12, UNC faculty had a chance to address the topic and listen to ideas on how to better integrate race into the classroom through a presentation called “Centering Race in the Classroom: Engaging Faculty in Inclusive Pedagogy.” This event, open to faculty only, was attended by professors from a wide range of departments. The present year instructor at the University of Northern Colorado. Haynes is teaches in the Higher Education and Student Affairs Leadership program. According to the program’s website, Haynes’ research interests include
“examining the effects of racism on college student persistence among racially minoritized students, the operation of power and privilege in college teaching and applications of Critical Race Theory to postsecondary educational context.” Haynes presented ideas that explored the impact of the growing diversity among students in higher education. A key idea to this is the fact that white professors are unaware of how their racial status and privilege set them apart from their minority students in the academic world. She also said professors need to take into account the entire student body when they write lessons, the syllabus and expectations for the class. “My goal with this presentation is to make college
campuses a place where racially minoritized students want and are able to learn,” Haynes said. It’s not that white professors don’t care, Haynes said. It turns out that a good number of them do care about how race can make up a large part of their students’ identities. A t the same time, some professors said, with race being a touchy subject—and the potential for someone to play the so-called “racist” card —some professors just aren’t sure how to deal with the subject. Haynes suggested that faculty look to include some form of inclusivity statement at the beginning of the course. Another suggestion was to bring in issues of social justice and develop critical consciousness in students and professors
alike along the way. Some factors in the way of race consciousness are common classroom priorities such as subject matter and learning outcomes, tion and course sequence. Many teachers and professors are ill-equipped to address some of these issues, but at the same time, are concerned about being more inclusive in their classrooms. In fact, with each class being so different, it can be hard to know which students will see race as a larger part of their personal identity and which will think nothing of it at all. This need for racial inclucent compilation of data that was released by the U.S. Department of Education’s OfSee Race on page 19

Chayla Haynes discusses the importance of integrating race into UNC’s classrooms and acknowledges a racial inclusivity that is essential for complete equality.

A new hope is emerging for a local business. Earlier this year, The Mirror reported on a string of break-ins that hit local businesses over winter break. The newly-established Game Alliance arcade was hit particularly hard with over $10,000 in theft and damages. After months of fundraising, it has been determined that local nerd den will reopen. It’s just not certain when. Jennifer Fulmer, sister of Game Alliance coowner Jim Knipschild, organized an online fundraiser on the website Gofundme.com.

reopening date at the moment, but students should expect Game Alliance to have a new look when that day comes. Fulmer told the Mirror that Jim would like to open as as possible. Other businesses that were broken into in January include Textbook BroCourtesy of Game Alliance

Life Enjoys You By Biz Gilmore
“My American Life” tells many stories. It is author Neil Diamond Williams’ autobiography, as well as an abridged family hisguide through American history, from Jim Crow to civil rights and beyond. In some ways, the book is a story of UNC, which gets its own chapters detailing Williams’ education and professional career on campus. He spoke with The Mirror via email and in a phone interview about his autobiography. “I wanted to write from a perspective of how history, events,
people and places shape our perceptions, our lives and how we chose to communicate with human beings,” Williams said. On paper, Neil Diamond Williams organizes information by president. Throughout his autobiography, “My American Life,” Williams sets historical mile markers for the reader by mentioning the president at the time. Three of his grandparents were born in 1899, when William when Williams’ grandmother was six years old, Woodrow Wilson issued an executive order segregating cafeterias and restrooms used by federal employees.

Neon lights shine through the cold, brittle night with promises of warmth and entertainment. The windows are blurred with the mixing of countless people and the glass is fogged from the warmth of their voices that echo into the street. Chatter and jazz music leak out the front doors to incite an atmosphere of nostalgia for a different era. The exclusivity of the lounge attracts those looking for intelligent conversation, high fashion and a cocktail to echo the romantic, twentieth-century vibe. The warm lights bounce off wine glasses and glass counter tops that tempt with indulgences of sweet treats and strong liquor that add to the specialty of a night out. The Kress Cinema and Lounge of downtown Greeley at the corner of Eighth Avenue and Seventh Street, is a welcoming haven

It took a year for construction to uncover the building as it is seen today. “The building had a dropdown, acoustic style ceiling,” Swank said. “They tore that all up and discovered the moldings underneath. However, when they were putting in the sprinkler system, they punched holes wherever they needed them and damaged a lot of what was up there. We had a master carver come in to touch it up and recreate it, so everything you see today is as original as we could make it.” See Kress on page 17

UNC men’s basketball was that team Wednesday night in its 82-71 CollegeInsider.com Tournament loss to Texas A&MCorpus Christi before a subdued crowd at ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion. “I just thought that they had more energy. They played with more life to them,” head coach B.J. Hill said. “We looked really exhausted mentally and physically, as evidenced by those three turnovers down the stretch—just plays that we didn’t make all year. I thought that and the rebounding is what did us in.” That energy advantage the Islanders (18-15) held over the Bears (18-14) showed itself primarily through A&M-CC’s 13 offensive rebounds and 32-23 rebounding advantage overall. “All of them were athletic, they were all physical.” Bears junior guard Tevin Svihovec said. “It showed a little bit on the boards for sure.” After nearly beating host and top-seeded Weber State in the Big Sky Tournament, the Bears looked like their minds were more focused on what could have been an

Northern Arizona swept UNC men’s tennis in singles play Thursday and won the overall match 6-1 in Sedona, Ariz. University of Northern Colorado junior Ben Gendron and senior Michael Moya defeated NAU’s Kester Black and Fabio Tomasetti, 8-2, in the top doubles match, and the No. 3 pair of junior Jordan Loughnan and senior Jeff Carlson took down Trevor Unger and Sarp Laleli, 8-1, earning the Bears (7-4, 5-2 Big Sky) the doubles point. Those would be the only wins of the day for the Bears. Sophomores Mitchel Knight and Jacob Sheldon were swept 8-0 by Alexandre Loc-
ci and Jordan Gobatie in the No. 2 doubles match. Only Gendron and Moya were able to win sets in their individual matches. Gendron lost to Gobatie 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, and Moya fell to Blaine Mengert 6-2, 5-7, 10-6. Loughnan and sophomore Eric Schuermans both fell 6-2, 6-3 to Unger and Black, respectively.

Men’s hoops ends season with CIT loss Basketball from page 13
Unruh was second on the team with 15 points as senior forward Derrick Barden led UNC with 18 points and seven rebounds. Svihovec added 13 points and a team-high seven assists. Junior forward Dominique Lee supplied a second-half boost with 11 points and four rebounds, three offensive. Lee’s push midway through the second half wasn’t enough to get the Bears out of their rut, though. “The tiger had trouble hiding its stripes,” Hill said. “Unfortunately for us, that was kind of our deal
the last month of the season: We didn’t defend very well. I thought we defended better the last three games, but tonight we kind of went back and looked like the Bears of the beginning of February, late January.” “I think we’ve got eight guys that are capable of starting, and I think that the fact of the matter is all three of the guys that come in in our early rotation deserve to start,” Islanders head coach Willis Wilson said. “They’ve been selfless enough to really buy into who we are just so that we have a rotation.” Wilson’s faith in his bench was rewarded by forward Rashawn Thomas’s team-leading 22 points.
Thomas, guard Joy Williamson and guard Jake Kocher, who scored 12 points, have an identity for themselves as the reserve unit. “We usually call ourselves the turn-up squad,” Thomas said. “Whenever we come in, all we do is try to intensify the game, get us back in the game or push the lead ahead more.” Unruh, Barden, forward Connor Osborne and guard Xzaivier James, who saw some rare playing time late in the game, walked off the court for the last time as Bears. The Islanders fell Saturround of the CIT by a score of 89-60.

Waiting game Swank opens the bar and concession stand, turns on the projector to warm it up and patrols the theater until opening time. “Then I just wait for customers to come in for the movie,” Swank said. “When people start showing up, it is usually me bouncing in between the concession stand and bar. We have a pretty small staff so everyone is cross-trained in pretty much everything.” Much of Swank’s time is spent answering questions about what to expect from the experience of the theater. Stray passersby stop in to quench their curiosity and the ringing of the phone adds a rhythm to the clinking glasses and running tap of various liquids. Swank’s speech about the mission of the theater is recited
genuinely to each and every questioner. He explains the process of paying for a movie and paying for drinks or dinner is a separate experience. “We aren’t a dinner theater,” Swank said. “We get a lot of calls about that. People basically ask how the whole thing works. I just have to tell them, there is admission for the movie and you can buy concessions or food separate. It is a common misconception that we are a dinner theater.” One of the stray passersby, Rebecca Diaz, stopped in to ask Swank simply “how it all works.” “We were walking by and saw the advertisement for the movie so we thought we would stop in and see what is going on here and ask how everything works,” Diaz said. The ringing phone blends into Swank’s routine. The low rum-
ble of chairs scratching against the hard wood is omnipresent, reminding Swank to keep moving and checking up on his guests. He bustles around the theater, alternating between running the bar, concession stand, ticket sales and bus boy duties before, during

Swank said. “Half an hour before a show, people will trickle in. If it is going to get busy, it’ll get busy 10 minutes before the show. We can have a sold out showing and the place will be dead until a couple minutes before we are scheduled to start.” Swank relishes in this experience as smaller theaters are more

this way as well too. “If a movie gets out and a few people are here we will stay open for them for a bit,” Swank said. “It is very rare when I have to kick someone out because it gets to be too late, but I have done it before,” Swank said. Before Swank can head home though, he has one more responsibility. “Every week we get a hard drive with trailers on it,” Swank said. “We have to look at what we might get, set up a playlist similar to them, push play and make sure it is good to go. Then I can pack up.” The theater lights are then turned off and Swank leaves the creaking building to settle into silence and emptiness to await business once more.

Joke of the week: A man walks into a rooftop bar and takes a seat next to another guy. “What are you drinking?” he asks the guy. “Magic beer,” he says. “Oh, yeah? What’s so magical about it?” The guy proceeds to show him: He drinks some beer, jumps off the roof, flies around the
building, and returns to his seat. “Amazing! Lemme try some of that,” the man says. He grabs the beer, downs it, leaps off the roof, and falls 30 feet to the ground. The bartender shakes his head and says to the first guy, “You know, you’re a real jerk when you’re drunk, Superman.”

revealed large disparities in the treatment of minority students in public schools. “This data collection shines a clear, unbiased light on places that are delivering on the promise of an equal education for every child and places where the largest gaps remain. In all, it is clear that the United States has a great distance to go to meet our goal of providing opportunities for every student to succeed,” U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a press release on the U.S. Department of Education’s website. The study brought to light, among
other facts, that black students are suspended and expelled at a rate of 16 percent—compared to just 5 percent of white students. This disparity and reluctance to talk about the very real effects race has on students trickles upwards into the higher education system. Haynes said another notably large factor that blocks racial inclusivity is the Eurocentric view on several content areas. For those teachers and professors wanting to be more inclusive, Haynes tells young teachers to go for it. she said, as they are acknowledging a part of the student’s identity that those in

realize that value judgments of the president’s plan affect lifelong experience. A plan is simply a plan. Until it is proven successful, it will remain just a plan,” Williams said in 1982. Williams credits Dickeson—with student and faculty help—with salvaging the black studies, women’s studies and anthropology programs at UNC. All three programs are still available at UNC although black studies has since been renamed Africana studies. In 1983, The Mirror ran a front-page story and photo of Williams and Dickeson leading a Martin Luther King Day march from the University Center to Carter Hall. Williams and his BSU Williams calls a “racist prank” perpetrated by two UNC students in 1983. A
cross was placed on the front lawn of the Garvey. Contrary to rumors at the time, the cross was not lit to dispel that rumor in his book. The students responsible issued verbal and written apologies at the Marcus Garvey Cultural Center. Williams asked photographers present to take only take photos of the perpetrators from behind to avoid excess backlash against them. On top of his responsibilities with the BSU, Williams balanced academics and ROTC duties while on campus. Williams told The Mirror that two years of his ings, debates, public speaking and media and community outreach. “By the month of May in 1983 I was personally exhausted; once checking in the Greeley Medical Center

We opened up a new era. And the rest was left up to people like you.” In addition to his autobiography, Williams has published a children’s book called “Bears Can Swim and so Can I!” and a collection of Christian love poems. —Biz Gilmore is a journalism and mass communications major and the A&E editor for The Mirror.
