If you have a sense of smell, you probably already know about the odor that sometimes emanates from Greeley’s local meatpacking plant, JBS. Located in northeastern Greeley, JBS is the largest employer in the city and recently began a march toward becoming a better corporate citizen and making the air more breathable. The famous “Greeley smell,” or at least the particular stench associated with the plant, is caused by the company’s process of essentially melting down the leftovers after sellable meat has been packed. Those leftovers are recycled into useful objects, but they also produce that familiar smell, which is then released from the plant’s smoke stack. Greeley’s elevation is low relative to the rest of Colorado, and the city is Poudre and Platte Rivers. According to city manager Roy Otto, those circumstances combine to allow for the smell to settle over the city rather than dissipating in the air. JBS designed a solution to the problem, one that’s already working. Its new 180foot tower allows the scent to dissipate higher in the air rather than low over the city. It’s a technique the company has already employed in other cities in which they have plants, Otto said. Naturally, the idea is now employed at the company’s headquarters here in Greeley. In the eyes of the rest of Colorado—and even the nation—Greeley is reputably a “stinky cow town,” but it’s an outdated concept, Otto said. He stressed the importance of distinguishing between two different smells

in northern Colorado. The smell that often bothers citizens the most—so much so that the city implemented an odor hotline—is the scent of the meatpacking facility. “If they have an upset in that plant, it can be a very inhospitable smell for the community,” Otto said. The second smell is less obtrusive but also more frequent—the smell of actual cattle from farms and feed lots outside of the city. “When you smell that in northern Colorado, everybody always says, ‘That’s Greeley,’” Otto said. But it isn’t. Cows were banned from city limits years ago; the last feed lot in the city closed over two decades before the ban. With JBS aiming to make the air fresher in See JBS on page 24

Construction underway on central campus Brennen Karl
news@uncmirror.com
The University of Northern Colorado began construction on a new chilled water plant next to Crabbe Hall in July. A chilled water plant is an underground mechanism that provides water for air conditioning and for cooling building utilities. The new chilled water plant will supply Carter Hall, Kepner Hall, Guggenheim Hall and eventually Crabbe Hall and Gray Hall with air conditioning. This project will also involve enlarging the underground vault outside of Kepner Hall to house the new central plant. Construction is expected to be completed by April 2014. For now, the system will not supply chilled water to Crabbe and Gray Halls, but it will be renovated in the future to supply these halls as well. Crabbe Hall and
Gray Hall currently do not have any air conditioning. The contract for the project was awarded to GH Phipps Construction based out of Greenwood Village. GH Phipps is a leading construction company in the region and played a role in the construction of both Mile High Stadium and Sports Authority Field. The total cost for the project is approximately $2.2 million, which will be paid for by a combination of UNC funds and statecontrolled maintenance funds. The chiller located underground near Kepner Hall that currently serves Kepner and Guggenheim was installed in 1986, and the chiller in Carter’s basement was installed in 1980. Chiller systems tend to last around 20 to 25 years, so these existing cooling systems have exceeded their life spans. The old chillers will be removed and replaced with
the new central chilling system, which will have a much greater cooling capacity that will allow it to supply air to not just one or two but all of the major non-residential buildings on central campus. The total cooling capacity will be The construction has blocked off several lanes of parking, but according to the assistant vice president of facilities management at UNC, “all parking will be returned to normal by the end of the project and year.” Shelly Gaza, a voice and stage speech professor, is happy for the changes. “I have taught in (Crabbe) in the past, and . . . the lack of air conditioning makes it extremely uncomfortable in the hotter months. I think the conversion to air conditioning is a very good one and am looking forward to its completion.”

University recognizes promoted and tenured faculty members Natasha Krech
news@uncmirror.com
University of Northern Colorado President Kay Norton and Provost Robbyn Wacker honored faculty members at the annual Faculty Recognition Reception Tuesday. The reception was larger than in years past, as 45 professors received either promotion, tenureship or both, essentially doubling the number of recognized professors at receptions in recent years. of the six colleges within UNC were recognized. The university requires its faculty to adhere to a model in their work. As such, professors must thrive in teaching, scholarship and service to be hon-
ored by the university. “The faculty work very hard to contribute to their teaching, their scholarship and their service here and this is really a culmination and acknowledgement of the amazing amount of work that faculty do,” Provost Wacker said. In academia, promotion is no easy task. Many professors’ duties extend beyond the classroom to conducting important research in their viewed articles. “There are criteria that their peers look at in terms of contributions to teaching and research. There’s a level of professional contribution and research scholarship, creative works, service and teaching that has to be met by folks before they can get tenure,” said Wacker.

Students participate in international initiative to raise gender violence awareness Juliette Angoulvant
news@uncmirror.com
UNC’s Adult Survivor’s Advocacy Program participated in an international initiative to promote gender violence awareness this week. The Clothesline Project is a worldwide initiative in which those impacted by domestic or gender violence decorate t-shirts denouncing such acts and display them on clotheslines. ASAP had booths in the UC on Tuesday and Wednesday for students to decorate shirts. The t-shirts were then displayed between McKee Hall and Michener Library on Wednesday. In addition to the t-shirts, a timeline complete with gender violence statistics
and facts from the past few decades was also on display. Volunteers dressed acperiods spoke with passing student about the history of domestic and gender violence. The display was intended to work in conjunction with last week’s Take Back the Night rally and march, which took place Thursday. “(The Clothesline Project) is about spreading awareness, breaking the stereotypes about rape culture, and letting people know that it’s not OK, that people are truly affected by this,” said Courtney Walker-Langman, a volunteer with ASAP. According to ASAP, in the last 12 months, 6.4 percent of UNC students have experienced touching with-
out given consent (806 students), 2.1 percent have experienced attempted sexual penetration without given consent (265 students), 1.6 percent have experienced sexual penetration without given consent (201 students), and 7.1 percent have experienced stalking (895 students). “Yes, we’ve changed a lot of the laws and a lot of the response to these crimes, which is great, but we also see that these crimes are still really prevalent...one in four women in Colorado is a victim of sexual assault,” said Regina Haugland, the graduate assistant for Advocacy Services. “We just want to raise awareness for students and for staff and anyone walking by that these crimes are still happening, and that it’s
still important to talk about these things.” Overall, student reactions to the display were positive and supportive, according to Haugland. “We’ve gotten a lot of ‘good jobs,’ and a lot of people have told us that they’re thankful that we’re out here showing these things,” Haugland added. The Clothesline Project also aims to help those impacted by gender violence. Students experiencing any type of gender violence can call the ASAP 24-hour hotline at (970) 351-4040, Cassidy Hall. Students interested in helping promote awareness of these problems can always apply to be volunteers and work either as an See Clothesline on page 9

UNC graduate students voice concerns Statistics inspire project Tessa Byrns
news@uncmirror.com
The graduate school held a Town Hall meeting Wednesday at the University Center. The meeting was an opportunity to discuss the concerns of graduate students at the University of Northern Colorado. The Dean of the Graduate School and International Admissions, Linda Black, wanted students to voice their concerns and to be informed on the efforts of the graduate school to support students and help them accomplish their goals. The accessibility of important information and the number of credit hours required for loans and graduation were major concerns expressed by students. Though only about 20 students attended the event,
the issues discussed likely impact all the students in the graduate school. “We are all things graduate school,” said Black. “We want to ensure compliance and support the student. We want our graduate students to be role models to the undergraduate students. I think that the relationship between the two is naturally Finances and issues with course loads and credit hours appeared to be the greatest sources of concern among students. “My concern was with the timeliness of processing compensation,” said Colleen Sonnentag, a higher education and student affairs leadstudent. “The compensation on URSA. I also think that graduate assistantships need
to be processed sooner.” Black did address students’ concerns with course loads. “We want students taking only the courses they need to take to complete their area of study,” Black said. “We want students to have more time to study more deeply, not have to complete more credit hours. Nine credit hours may be required for some areas of study but usually students only have to register for three credit hours,” Black said Students were also excited to hear that Black and other professors and counselors in the graduate school more important, informative emails. “My program keeps me pretty busy,” said Kyle uate student studying speech

with which to expose an of-
advocate or a project volunteer said Walker-Langman. The Clothesline Project was established in 1990 in Massachusetts when a small group of women in Cape Cod, Mass., many of whom had themselves been affected by domestic violence, were inspired by this statistic from the Men’s Rape Prevention Project in Washington D.C.: during the Vietnam War, 51,000 women were killed because of domestic violence, nearly equalling the amount of men killed in the war itself. The women looked for a provactive, eye-opening way of bringing attention to the statistic and to the experiences of victims. “It is the very process of designing a shirt that gives each woman a new voice
experience that has dramatically altered the course of her life,” according to The Clothesline Project website. “Participating in this project provides a powerful step towards helping a survivor break through the shroud of silence that has surrounded her experience.” Different colored shirts represent different kinds of abuse, including white for women who died because of violence, yellow or beige for battered or assaulted women, and red, pink, or orange for survivors of rape or sexual assault. Any one who has experienced this kind of violence, as well as friends or family members of victims, are all invited to participate by decorating a shirt and sharing their story.

Two years after that, the Greeley Gay and Lesbian Alliance opened on campus.

University reviews logos, seeks changes Laurel Casey
news@uncmirror.com
A university’s logo is a fundamental part of its institutional identity. Unfortunately for the University of Northern Colorado, a review board recently found that there is public confusion surrounding the many logos that currently represent the university. With the athletics department and the academic sector of the school both utilizing various logos, the university is embarking on a rebranding process that aims to centralize the school’s visual identity. A re-branding team started meeting four years ago with three goals: to increase awareness, to increase understanding and to increase engagement. The past year has seen intense focus on the University’s logo, which is a huge portion of the University’s brand. It is important that the logo portray a positive and accurate representation of the University, and a good way to start was by looking at other universities with renowned logos and what their process was to make their mark. Surveys were administrated to students, staff, faculty, alumni and benefactors last year with hopes of identifying what the issues were regarding UNC’s brand. In total, 1200 surveys were completed, and the results spoke loudly. On September 18th, the review poll, as well as recommendations from
on how to proceed with changes. The results suggest that the university needs to design a new mascot logo, eliminate the ‘NC’ letterhead, fully implement the ‘UNC’ letterhead, change the school seal, and select speconsistency throughout the university. There has also been a recommendation that the alma mater be modi‘purple and gold.’ This has not been set in stone, as it is to be discussed later in the process. Vice President of University Relations Chuck Leonhardt said that the results were not shocking, and that a cleanup is necessary to ameliorate “symbolic vagueness”and to create a more consistent visual package. Although the university’s current logo’s receive some positive feedback, many negative perceptions remain to encourage the process of rebranding. Students and community members will have the opportunity to play a role in the rebranding process. There tiple groups involved in this process happening later this week. More information is available at unco.edu/ news. “We really do want public feedback before we ever implement anything. We are going to make sure they are well aired and people have opportunities to voice what they do and do not like. It is going to be an exciting process and a pretty neat opportunity for the university,”Leonhardt said. When asked about funding for the rebranding process, Terry Anderson,
director of sales and marketing for the athletics department emphasized that funding would not fall on students. “It wouldn’t come from the students…its not something that we are going to say, ‘We are going to make all these changes and we are going to up all the student fees.’ That is not the direction we are going to go,”Anderson said. Not all of the expenses are known yet, as they will be compiled once an inventory process is completed on what needs to be updated with the new logos. Regarding athletics at UNC, the department is on board and looking forward to using a logo that everyone will use, creating a holistic look and feel at the university. UNC Athletics wants something that is easily demographics, and most importantly special to UNC. If everything goes according to plan, and a core logo is agreed upon, the unveiling is expected to occur just a few months from now in spring 2014. Due to the many pieces of this project, full implementation will occur over a series of years. “Getting back to tradition, I think that using ‘UNC’ instead of ‘NC’ is important, and specifying the spemented and followed by everyone…I like that the university is coming together as one big family regarding our image”said Devontae Chapple, senior communications student and member of the football team.

Downtown Greeley welcomes The Nerd Store Biz Gilmore
arts@uncmirror.com
Nerds: take back your city. There's a new comic book and game store in Greeley. Very appropriately, it's called The Nerd Store. Travis Parry, owner of The Nerd Store hosted an all-day grand opening event on Saturday. “Being a nerd in general is a passion for me,” Parry said. “I get very ADD with things. I got really into comics, then ‘Magic: The Gathering,’ then board games and eventually electronics. I want this to be an all-around nerd store that has space for all. Somewhere I can explore all my nerd.” At the grand opening celebration, comic artist Cody Kuehl hung around the store, talking to patrons and showcasing his art. “His stuff is almost 3D. It just pops right off the page,” Parry said. The grand opening party featured musical acts singer-songwriter Barett Cune and Rocky Mountain Battle of the Bands acoustic winners The Constant Tourists performing in the back of the store, an area Parry says he wants to use for gaming and club meeting space. “I want to have groups here every night of the week- Monday through Saturday,” Parry said.
Parry says he wants all sorts of groups to meet in the store: board game groups, groups for Magic: The Gathering, comic and game creator groups. “I don't see this as a retail space so much as a place to have fun.” The Nerd Store even has a small selection of snacks for sale behind the counter so people can settle in there. Although he owns a comic book store, Parry is not emulating Jeff Albertson, aka Comic Book Guy from “The Simpsons.” Parry says he hopes to destroy the negative comic and game store stigma: a rude, elitist owner in a dirty shop. “That kind of experience scares off everybody but the diehards. I want to shatter that image,” Parry said. Parry is from Fort Collins, where there are several successful comic book stores. He says that when he looked into opening his own business, he saw an opportunity in downtown Greeley. “We haven't had a good comic book store in Greeley for over a decade now,” said Gabe Llanas, part-time employee. Llanas says he saw a want ad for his position online and arrived at the store ten minutes later with a resume. Once business picks up, Parry said he hopes to in-

Moore came to the grand opening to check out the comic selection with his friend Hayden Farr, a senior music with a business emphasis, whom he's been introducing to comics. Moore reads DC Comics and enjoys “The Justice League” and “Batman.” Owner, patrons and employees alike all seem to wear the title nerd with pride.

“As a kid, 'nerd' was a word we used to make fun of each other. Nerds drive pop culture now. You can't go to a movie that isn't based on a comic book.

Rockstar Games hits a high note with Grand Theft Auto V Game Review By Matthew Tarman
If “Grand Theft Auto V” is anything to judge the next generation of games on, its going to be a good one. In a twist on standard convention, "GTA V” cast the player as not one, but three separate characters: Michael DeSanta, Franklin Clinton and Trevor Phillips. You start with Franklin, but over hours or so, you will have met and begun playing as all three. Michael, who is supposedly dead, returns to a life of bank robbery. Franklin, a kid from the poorer side of the city, now a repo-man for a car dealership, accidentally steals a car from Michael, leading to the two working together to plan jobs. Trevor
comes in later when he learns that his old friend Michael is back from the dead and back to a life of thievery. The three then begin to work together and the story unfolds from there. I will try to avoid spoilers, but in typical Rockstar Games fashion, it is a story of man doing what he has to do to survive. It is one of the best stories you will Each character has his own story to tell. Michael's entire life is falling apart; his family is gone and he has nothing left. Franklin is a kid just trying to get off the streets, doing whatever he can to make some money and get out of there. Trevor is a money-hungry meth addict that can be scary at times. Each character gets his own forms of sympathy from the player. Like all GTA protagonists, each one has one thing in common: a serious lust for money. The real main character of the story is the city it takes place in. Los Santos is certainly anything but the city of saints. A redesign
of real-world Los Angeles, Los Santos is probably the single most realistic, and most lively city to ever be constructed in a video game, with people walk down every street, having conversations; the radio in your car plays the news (which sometimes may have been caused by the player), like reporting on a (real life) law requiring porn stars to use condoms, and how the porn stars don't like that. It is all a satire of real-world America, poking fun at everything it can. The city is a real, beating heart of personality. Despite its size, the game only has one loading screen at the beginning, other than that you are free to roam and do as you please. From taking a casual walk with Franklin's dog to participating in a triathlon, Los Santos is a city begging to be explored. Customizing cars, racing them, going to ous rampage, impounding cars, completing tasks for strangers: the beautiful city has more than
enough for anyone to enjoy for a limitless number of hours. The city looks gorgeous, from the palm trees decorating the streets, to the water that drips off you when you get out of the ocean. Every little graphical touch is done to perfection in this game. When a player pulls out their phone, you can see your character pull out their phone too, and the screen will change as you click on things. It's the little things that make this game as grand as can
be. The majority of the game is participating in story missions which usually include: go here, kill this guy, retrieve this object, things like that. Seems pretty boring, but it is quite the opposite. The missions are great, each can only be done by a certain character, and each one will focus on his own story which comes together to form a bigger over arching story of the game. See GTA on page 21

Last week in UNC sports:
Strange sidelined for season with knee injury Michael Nowels
sports@uncmirror.com
After losing three topsix scorers to graduation last spring, UNC women’s basketball was facing an uphill climb to maintaining its recent level of success. That hill became a proverbial mountain when it was announced Wednesday that senior point guard and Big Sky Defensive MVP D’shara Strange would redshirt this year due to a knee injury. According to junior center Stephanie Lee, Strange injured her knee in a National Invitational Tournament win at Wyoming on March 21 and had shown some remaining symptoms of the injury prior to training camp, which started last week. “Last year in the Wyoming game, she did hurt her knee but she was playing on it this summer and we noticed during scrimmaging her knee would sometimes lock
up,” Lee said. “We didn’t know it was that dramatic, obviously because we wouldn’t have had her playing on it but she got it checked out and she told me right away. I think it’s the best decision for her and I think we’ll be all right.” Sports information director Heather Kennedy told The Mirror that Strange underwent surgery last week. Head coach Jaime White said she believes her team can overcome losing its 2012-13 leader in scoring, rebounds and steals as well as a key wing defender in the team’s 2-3 zone defense. sition,” White said. “It’s better now than in the middle of the season so we’re getting used to that. There’s nothing that can replace D’shara for our team although I think we have a good team so I think we’re going to be able to make that transiWhite said no sin-
gle player can replace Strange’s production but the team can compensate together for her absence. “We’re going to have to do it by committee. I’m excited about our returners—Steph (Lee), Kim (Lockridge). I’m excited about our younger kids—Kyleigh (Hiser), Jamie (Derrieux) in the backcourt. Amber Van Deudekom, some of those kids who have played a lot but not played for us.” White also mentioned she expects freshmen Kourteney Zadina and Amy Kidner to contribute to the University of Northern Colorado’s success this season. Lee said the loss of Strange will be an obstacle for the Bears but they will move forward with Strange’s support from the sidelines. “It’s obviously pretty hard losing a captain and she was going to be a senior and a natural leader,” Lee said. “It’s hard to lose that but I think we’ll be all right.

It is no easy feat for students to pay their way through college. While some students have college funds, or even have a family member who can help pay for tuition, for others there are few options left to extend education beyond high school. One way some students are able to attend college is through athletic scholarships. Not every student-athlete is on scholarship, and even fewer receive full rides, but for some players across the
nation, there is a desire for more compensation. All Players United is a movement months in the making before college football players had “APU” written on their persons during game action Sept. 21. The group hopes for NCAA restructuring, which can help players when it comes to concussion-related regulations, increasing athlete graduation rates and getting greater monetary support via scholarship. The movement has re-opened a long-lasting debate on athlete compensation. There are so many
elements to the issue that even among those who agree, there is little room for compromise. For those who do not believe athletes should get paid, there are two myths that need to be debunked: one, every athlete gets a full ride scholarship and two, those who do have a “full ride” receive funding for any and all expenses they may have. The UNC football team has 63 full scholarships to distribute between 85 players on a 94-person roster. Those on the team who do receive a full scholarship are allotted funds strictly for tu-

ition and fees, along with a monthly stipend which varies player-to-player. Bears’ junior defensive tackle Lexington Smith said his monthly expenses include car insurance, rent, phone, and a primary and secondary health insurance, as players are required to have both. Smith pays all of his on his own because he is not getting help from his parents. While Smith said he believes athletes should be paid, teammate senior kicker Tanner Ellingsen and UNC head coach Earnest Collins Jr. don’t agree, for
different reasons. One aspect of the debate is whether the athletes whose names are bringing revenue to universities should get a portion of the money they bring to the university, like Johnny Manziel for Texas A&M and when Tim Tebow was at Florida. Ellingsen said he doesn’t agree with certain players receiving more money because of how uneven the payments would be between players, schools and sports. cause the big-name people See APU on page 19

Former Bear Oosdyke gets pro basketball shot in Iceland Michael Nowels
sports@uncmirror.com
Many European male basketball players aspire to come to the United States to play in the NBA, the most prestigious and bestpaying league in the world. For female players, the WNBA is the most visible league in the States, but there are more opportunities and often more money in Europe. Former UNC forward Lauren Oosdyke signed a contract this summer to play for Grindavik in the Dominos League of Iceland. on the country’s southwestern coast. Oosdyke said in an email that her summer trip to China with the NetScouts Basketball USA AllStar Team helped her decide what she wanted in her future. “After that trip, I knew for sure that I wanted to pursue a career in playing professional basketball overseas,” she wrote. “I knew going to Iceland and playing the sport I love was an experience that I could not pass up.”
She was contacted by several agents interested in representing her after playing in China and eventually hired Dale Mock. He found an interested team in Grindavik and Oosdyke was put on the spot to make a decision. In August, my agent called me and told me I had been offered to play in Iceland and I had 24 hours to sign or they would move on,” she wrote. “The signing period was in the 18th hour and I did not feel I should wait, especially after quickly learning how interesting and cool Iceland was, so I signed. I then found out two weeks after I had signed with Iceland that a team from Finland had wanted to offer me a contract as well.” University of Northern Colorado junior center Stephanie Lee hear from Oosdyke after signing. “I had to keep it a secret because she only told a select few,” Lee said. “Her parents knew and a few other friends.” A major concern for anyone heading somewhere new is the difference in language. Oosdyke
but she hasn’t had to worry much about acquiring the language. “I have picked up a few common words such as ‘hello,’ ‘thank nitely very hard,” she wrote. “Everyone here can speak English, and when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Everyone is required to learn English in school so it has lot easier. During practices and games my coach and teammates will speak of mixture of Icelandic and English.” Though language is not a major issue, Oosdyke said that each team is only allowed one American player and the rest of her teammates are from Iceland. Bears head coach Jaime White said she thinks Oosdyke will be successful in adjusting to the European version of the game. “She evolved from a post player into a guard and she still has her post stuff, so she’ll be ready to go,” she said. “I’ve always said this about Lauren. I think she’s the most adaptable person so she will
adapt to be successful in whatever system she’s in or whatever country she’s in.” Oosdyke said she is adjusting to the culture, noting some new customs she’s learned already. “Many Icelanders believe in elves and trolls. Certain roads have been re-routed to avoid disturbing areas where elves and trolls are thought to live,” she wrote. “The month of October in Iceland is known as ‘Champion Month.’ This is the month in which people set goals for themselves, big and small, to challenge and improve themselves. It’s kind of like New Year’s Eve in the U.S. I decided to take part in ‘Champion Month’ and I am trying to eat all healthy food.” Lee said she and Oosdyke have stayed in contact relatively well considering the mileage between the friends and former teammates. “Lauren’s actually one of my best friends, so I’ve kept up with her a lot on Facebook,” Lee said. “We Face Time probably three times a week and then text all the time.

When I moved to Iceland in the beginning of September, I had many mixed emotions about leaving my family, friends and of course my amazing teammates and coaches from UNC. I knew that playing professional basketball in Europe had always been a dream of mine and when I found out that I had been offered a contract to play in Iceland, I accepted without hesitation.

transition here very easy. The native language they speak here (Icelandic) and is the fourth-hardest language in the world, so it is safe to say that I do not end of my seven months of living here. My former teammate
and dear friend at UNC, Amber Van Deudekom, put me in touch with one of her friends who played professional soccer in Iceland and was also from California. I met up with her in Reykjavik and we drove to the Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, which was spectacular. We then went and hiked the Skaftafell Glacier, which was honestly one of the coolest experiences of my life so far. It was beautiful with all different colors of ice and it was so awesome to actually hike inside of the glacier. Basketball has been so much fun so far. I really enjoy my coach and all of my teammates. They have all been so welcoming and
so strange being in practice and listening to them speak in Icelandic as I had no idea what they were saying. I have now gotten used to it
and they have been so good about speaking English in practice for me. We start regular season games Monday and our season will last until March/April. Our team was so we have a big goal to power forward position, just like I played at UNC. Once again, I am bleeding blue and gold colors here in Iceland. The jerseys and shorts display every company that sponsors our club. I am very excited for games to start and to win a championship. — Lauren Oosdyke is a former UNC basketball player with bachelor’s degrees in broadcast journalism and communication and a master’s in sport administration and a columnist for The Mirror.

now’ because when you’re AD, you always kind of because that’s what happens,” the source said. “You don’t stay at a university for forever. But I know he was hoping to retire from here so I don’t think he saw it coming at all.” When asked about Hinrichs’ departure, UNC President Kay Norton maintained that the decision was made by Hinrichs. “I’m not going to comment on it,” Norton said. “These jobs, as we’ve been cult. Jay put in a lot of years and a lot of time and a lot of effort and he loves this place. It was his decision and we’re moving on.” According to The Mirror’s source, the decision was made because Hinrichs avoided situations that could be confrontational. “My understanding of why... is they need somebody who is going to make hard decisions,” the source said. “The perception in athletics about Jay when he was there is that he was not very good at having those hard conversations, he wasn’t good at confronting problems. “Moving forward, they’re probably looking for someone who will be a leader and make those hard calls. When the lines are not body to do it. Jay was the
kind of guy who would do it himself. I think athletics wants a guy or a girl who their neck and make them do it.” Norton did not discuss the job search in such depth, but did speak to the process of putting together a job description. “The criteria are certainly much more thought out we hired Jay,” Norton said. “I had a job description in my head that wasn’t all that different, I suppose, but we’ve certainly learned a lot about it as we’ve made this transition. It’s similar to a CEO position in terms of having responsibilities for everything for everything from do the numbers add up and management decisions and the most important part is leadership.” Norton also laid out a preliminary timeline for hiring Hinrichs’ replacement.
The university plans to hold interviews in late October and make a decision by early November, hoping to have the new hire in place for the spring semester. Hinrichs, who took over the athletic director position from Jim Fallis on Aug. 23, 2004, expressed his gratitude for the chance to work at UNC. “What a great opportunity we had to be there for nine years,” Hinrichs said. “When things change, things change. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to serve the University of Northern Colorado.” Hinrichs started work at the University of Denver as an athletic development consultant Sept. 1. He’s been tasked with expanding DU’s brand within the state of Colorado. The Mirror will provide updates as the athletic director hiring process continues.

If UNC’s freshman forward Shanlie Anderson hadn’t been offered a scholarship to play soccer in Greeley, she likely would still be attending the same classes. According to Anderson, she planned on attending the University of Northern Colorado whether her goals performance get her there. Anderson began playing soccer at the age of four, playing recreational league and eventually club soccer. She also played volleyball, softball and track, but she felt the most passionate about soccer from her early childhood days. “I just always really loved it as a kid and it was kind of one of those things that I wanted to do when parents got me into it,” Anderson said. Head coach Tim Barrera’s name was familiar to Anderson and was also a draw to UNC for her. “I wanted to come here anyways, but he was a very positive coach,” Anderson said. “I really liked his coaching style and I thought it would be a perComing into college as a freshman can be nerveracking and intimidating.

some more goals,” Anderson said. Anderson has three years left on campus and Barrera expects her to broaden her skill set in her remaining time as a Bear. “I think she will continue to grow as a player, tactically and technically by becoming a two-footed player. Right now she is more right–footed, but her ability to cross different types of shots, that’ll get better,” Barrera said. “The sky is the limit and we really think she is going to grow and be a great player for us.” Anderson’s next opportunity to take a step forward is at 7 p.m. Friday when UNC hosts Eastern Washington at Jackson Field.

Still struggling to gain traction in Big Sky Conference play, the UNC volleymatch, 14-25, 25-16, 25-21, 22-25, 13-15 at Sacramento State Thursday. The match was the most competitive on the University of Northern Colorado (5-10, 1-4 Big Sky) offensive side, as the team hit .329 to Sacramento State’s (8-8, 3-2) .304. Contributing to that hitting percentage were junior Brianna Strong, junior Andrea Spaustat and sophomore Kendra Cunningham, who all had 14 kills and senior Alyssa Wilson led the team with 15 of her own kills. UNC had 65 total kills, and that would not have been accomplished if it wasn’t for freshman setter Ashley Guthrie’s careerhigh 59 assists, which was more than all of Sacramento State, which amassed a total of 51. Production at the service line continued to be an area of struggle for the Bears. While the team managed 10 aces led by Guthrie’s four, the team also had 14 service errors, with Cunningham being the source of six.
While she struggled in the serving aspect of the game, Cunning- Brianna Strong ham had the only double-double of the match with 13 digs to compliment her kills. Senior libero Merideth Johnson had the matchhigh 16 digs. The Hornets out-blocked the Bears with 11 while The two biggest threats from Sacramento State were Sloan Lovett and Morgan Stanley. Lovett had 36 total attacks, 17 of those producing the match-high number of kills. Stanley was one dig shy of a double-double with 13 kills. There was no match for UNC Saturday but the team will play a rare Mondaynight game against North Dakota to begin a threematch homestand.

are who get scrutinized,” Ellingsen said. “And there are other people on scholarship that don’t get paid, obviously their name’s not as big, so they’re not going to receive money, so I don’t think anybody should get paid because it should be either all or nothing.” One of the problems that arise when considering athlete payment is the source of the funding. The likeliest benefactor would be the athletic department or schools themselves, which would bring in many other issues because only a small percentage of programs breaks even and virtually none Collins said he has his doubts about the feasibility of enforcing any large change. “For a school like us, if the rule was we could pay them, we wouldn’t be able to pay them anyway. So now we’ll be in the battle for recruits when kids see this school can pay me and this one can’t,” Collins said. “It’s not about ‘I’m going where I want to go, I’m going where they can pay me’, so it’s not an amateur sport anymore.” For some college athletes, being awarded an athletic scholarship is the only way to extend their education beyond high school. Collins said he views the scholarship as an investment in his student-athletes. “I always ask the kids,

-Earnest Collins Jr., head football coach ‘If I gave you 80-150 thousand dollars what would you invest it in?’” Collins said. “And I will say, ‘Invest it in you because you can control that.’ That’s how I look at it, as an investment. Those kids earn their investment. They’ve done what they’ve had to do in high school to get that scholarship, now invest it in yourself and take advantage of it and get your degree.” One suggestion of a possible compromise of sorts is to pay athletes is by removing the scholarship and the amateur status in favor of a “job” as a college athlete. “I don’t think you should take away the scholarships,” Smith said. “There are a lot of players who would not be able to enter college pretty much because there is no guarantee they’ll get that pay,” Smith said. The debate of paying collegiate athletes is one which will continue, whether the changes are ever made or not. But the discussion has taken over the headlines of college sports talk for pressure on the NCAA than before.

He claims that men are bound by the “need” to be masculine and therefore do not recognize their own emotions, or at least feel they cannot express them.

City works to overcome ‘cow smell’
Continued from page 4
Greeley, the city’s negative reputation could slowly dissipate—just like the smell. Unfortunately, that perception is ingrained in the minds of much of Colorado. When Stephen Salazar, a junior secondary education social sciences major decided to attend the University of Northern Colorado, he was already aware of Greeley’s reputation. “Everyone I talked to, that’s what they always have to ‘Does it smell?’ said Salazar. Salazar said he was optimistic about the results of JBS’s efforts to. “It’d make more people want to come here,” he
said. “I feel like that’s probably something a lot of people think about before they either come do something up here, or go to school about the smell and they don’t want to smell that every day or every other day or something.” eration for some Colorado residents. “Greeley has that bad reputation for smelling bad,” agreed Ashley Tinsley, a senior business management major. Tinsley said her family was insmell when moving to Colorado. Rather than move to Greeley, they chose to live in Loveland instead. However, the stench does not live up to its bois-
terous reputation. “If it was lingering all the time, then it might be an issue. It’s never been an issue for me I guess,” said Tinsley. Salazar said he hadn’t noticed the smell as much since moving back to Greeley for the school year. According to Otto, one of the main frustrations of working in Greeley is dealing with—and attempting to lessen—the overblown and overstated perception of the community as a small town that smells like, well, cows. The new smokestackcomes on the heels of the recently launched ‘Greeley Unexpected’ campaign, a nationwide campaign to change the regional and national perception of Greeley.
