The Mirror Poll:
Editor-in-chief: Steven Josephson
THE MIRROR editor@uncmirror.com Three years ago, a forward thinking and enthusiastic senate proposed a ballot initiative to restructure the Student Senate at the University of Northern structuring meeting of the semester two weeks ago, the current senate exhibited the strain that comes from inheriting such a demanding task. It appears there is still some confusion amidst current members as to the exact nature of restructuring, which is discouraging considering the slow progress of the restructuring process. In my coverage of the restructuring process, and in various conversations with former and current senate members, I have
Reflects Thoughts from the editorial staff of The Mirror Student Senate changes—good ideas that miss the mark
come to understand that a driving force behind the restructuring process is the desire to increase student engagement with the senate. Certainly, student involvement in campus politics has been all but nonexistent in recent years. Last spring, the senate hosted an open forum to introduce candidates for senate positions to the student body. The open forums gave students the opportunity to listen to two-minute statements of intent from each candidate and then to pose questions to the candidates. No students other than those runthe event. The poor attendance at the candidate open forum
last spring was another indelible indicator of paltry student involvement at the university. The previous two senate elections drew turnouts of under 600 voters…at a university of over 10,000 undergraduate students. The senate is right in adapting to the changing landscape of the university and in seeking new ways to serve and engage the student body. Furthermore, their determination daunting task is commendable. Still, I struggle to believe that the new structure is an adequate solution to the lack of interaction between students and the senate. Essentially, the new senate structure will trim
fat, make senate more efoverlap in duties for cabinet members. These improvements are a necessary change for the senate and will likely pan out as expected. However, there is nothing to guarantee that the new structure will draw more students to engage with senate. Last year, four of the nine elected senate positions were determined in races with a single candidate. Under the new structure, the elected positions on senate will increase requiring more students to run in elections. It is unclear how the senate hopes to draw more students to campaign; however, they have discussed increased mar-
keting and advertising, something that has been lacking in the past. The success of restructuring relies heavily on the upcoming spring elections. Another election with a turnout below 600 and races that lack adequate candidates will doom the restructuring process that three senates have worked hard to complete. It will be up to the senate to thoroughly market spring elections and to identify quality candidates. It will be up to the interest in their own representation.

Friday marked the last Friday Fest of the year. And for those that were there, there was plenty to do at 9th Street Plaza. This Friday Fest featured the theme “My Favorite Bands,” with Front Range bands performing musical covers of their favorite bands. The New Ben Franklins performed Waylon Jennings; Craig Cornet and the

“Actually, it has really energized downtown,” Bricker said. “Everybody knows this where you can come on Friday nights and have a good time... It’s a pretty cool vibe down here, see all the kids, people bring the kids down, dancing in the streets, it just doesn’t get any better. And so we’re pretty excited about what it’s done and really energized our businesses who all have had record sales this year on Friday nights.” Bricker says that next year’s fests could
expand beyond the 9th Street Plaza. “We already have two more restaurants coming on board so we actually have the ability to stretch go-cup over to the next plaza as soon as we have liquor license holders over there. We can have maybe even another night we do it over on that plaza.” Bricker hopes that as more restaurants move downtown, retail stores will follow and bring patrons downtown throughout the week.

The Dugout gets bought out Amanda Stoutenburgh
news@uncmirror.com
The Dugout, a longstanding bar and grill just south of campus on 11th Avenue, is under new ownership. Jeff Gentry, Patrick Thompson and Jeff Wolthe Dugout in August. Gentry, a CSU graduate, said he dreamed of owning a bar since he was 19 years old. He met Thompson, a UNC alumnus who now works with the Dallas Cowboys, and Woltenmath, also a UNC graduate, two decades ago through their mutual love of sports. When Gentry discovered their old hangout was for sale, the three jumped
at the opportunity. According to Gentry, the Dugout was once a major hangout for UNC students. “All of us had too much fun here,” Gentry said. Students would go back and forth from the Dugout to other bars and parties. No matter what, he said, everyone ended up there. Though much time has passed since the new owners’ partying days, they plan to keep the memories alive. The Dugout used to be a fun place to come and watch sports, Gentry said. He and his partners want to recreate an environment for college students and sports lovers alike to relax and have fun. “This is not just a party
here, it’s a business and we take care of people who walk through the door,” Gentry said. The Dugout stands out among other similar establishments by obtaining quality food for their customers, regardless of the cost. The new owners are also working to improve the bar by updating the building. They installed hardwood ing over the bar to create a vaulted ceiling. They plan to repaint, update the bathrooms and change the lighting, among other cosmetic upgrades. Gentry said they hope to be Robbi Johnson, the bar’s former owner, has been at the Dugout since it opened in 1986.

Stanford professor John Willinsky believes that research should be available and accessible to everyone. “It is a human right to know what is known,� Willinsky said during his lecture titled “The Public Good of Research and Scholarship: The Long View from Medieval Monastery to Modern University,� at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the University Center. Willinsky, a professor of education at Stanford University, discussed a concept he called “The Problem,� which refers to the public’s limited access to scholarly research. He wanted to inform his listeners of this problem so that

Only 20 percent of research is accessible for the public. “Why shouldn’t research be free?� Willinsky asked. Willinsky said he believes that the world deserves to know new information, and that new discoveries should be shared amongst everyone.
“I owe the public a copy,� Willinsky said. He informed his audience, that if research were free, it would serve for the good of society, because the population could continue learning even after they graduate from college. To further help viewers understand his reasoning, Willinsky described the evolution of universities, starting with the development of monasteries. Within a monastery, the monks were devoted to learning, sharing absolutely everything with one another. Willinsky compared universities to monasteries because both organizations were dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, with the primary difference being

The NIH has a public access policy that requires research to be released within a year of publication.

He mentioned that President Barack Obama’s administration is committed to making publicly-funded research available in less than 12 months.

Professor: perceptions of college educators needs to change Professors from page 1
The study included wages of all fulltime staff whose primary role is instruction: 72 percent of all higher education employees in the 1,204 institutions surfor UNC, they chose three words that might not capture the severity of the situation: “Far below median.” Patricia Jolly, an associate professor of the results of the study surprising. “I think that the way of valuing education has changed a lot, so that if one were to believe that compensation is a way of valuing education, then it’s not valued at all,” Jolly said. “The lack of payment does send a message of not being valuable. I do understand that perspective.” Jolly, a UNC alumnus, said that the university’s low wages are a problem that is not necessarily being addressed. A social stigma is attached to the title “professor” -one of wealth and stability. “I think that the perception is that pro-
fessors live in ivory towers and we must all be doing really well,” Jolly said. “I get hit up for donations all the time, and up until two years ago, my family would have different times. “To be a professor of an institution, and I was a single mom of three kids and I was an adjunct, I was perceived as, ‘Oh, will you come to our fundraiser? Tables are $150 for a seat,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I made 18,000 this year or 25,000 this year and worked two jobs to have it,’” she said. Those social perceptions, Jolly said, need to change. “I think it’s a hard dialogue to have, because I think if people knew how bad the wages were, I believe that,” she said. “I think that there does need to be awareness to this because we’re not going to change it from inside. It’s going to have to be something that people get aghast about, which means that we have to deal with social perceptions of elitism.” Another misconception about the value of professors is the idea that their only work
is three or four hours of class time and an “The world load is very similar to you guys as students,” said Jolly. “As students, for every class credit, it’s times three. If you’re taking 12 credits, you’re looking at 36 hours of being a student. I would say that it’s a little higher for a professor, with hours and all that, so (teaching four classes) is very easily over 40 hours.” being a UNC professor also includes advising and a research component. Jolly said and working a minimum of 45 hours every week. “When you start looking at the fact that someone like me is regularly working overtime, but making a salary that is less than entry level teaching, that’s hard to justify and I can see why it would get a lot of people down.” Feeling underpaid does not motivate employees to stay in an institution. “I have watched brilliant people that would be such an asset to this university come and go,” Jolly said. “I’m an alum from here and so my commitment to UNC is much greater than my career, and so I have other intrinsic pieces of value. But I think if I were shopping around and if this were about building a career and a more standard academic trajectory, no way, no way would I stay.” The university keeps public records of They can be found in the archives section As shown on those records, not only are professors paid very little at UNC— the base salary for an associate professor in Jolly’s department is just $35,000 per year—administrative position salaries are disproportionately high, the majority of

According to Jolly, part of the reason it hasn’t yet is the fear of “collective bargaining,” or unionization. “70 percent of us are not tenured,” Jolly said. “If we collectively bargain, we can put our jobs at risk.” That fear of starting a conversation perpetuates the problem. Jolly suggested that opening the eyes of the public—and especially the student body—is the most effective solution. “If we don’t know what a problem is, we can’t solve it, so starting a dialogue is really important,” Jolly said. “Students have

The Student Senate at the University of Northern Colorado is moving closer to completing the process of restructuring this year with hopes of implementing new elected positions in time for spring elections. proposed restructuring in 2011. The initiative for reconstruction passed a student referendum in the 2011 spring elections and aims to condense the executive positions in senate while broadening student representation throughout the university. Currently, the elected senate positions include
seven student directors, a president and a student trustee. Non-elected positions on senate include a student rights advocate and a parliamentarian that also serves as election commissioner. Student Senate Faculty Advisor Evan Welch is responsible for hiring applicants for non-elected positions with feedback from senate members. The two non-elected positions that exist on senate now will remain after restructuring. Through restructuring, the senate hopes to eliminate non-essential positions, consolidate duties and enhance student repre-
sentation in each college at the university. diversity of student reprehope that this new structure will more effectively gather the “voice” of the Student Body so that the Senate and higher administration can get a clear look at the needs of students,” Student Trustee Ben Fuller wrote in an email to The Mirror. Under the new structure, three student representative committees will assume the duties of the seven current student representatives.

Ghost hunt featured in opening Steven Josephson

The black-clad hotel matron stands behind the desk of a dark hotel and tells the crowd that the town hasn’t been the same since the haunting, a door opens of it’s own accord with a hiss of fog. foreboding words of the matron in their ears: “The townsfolk won’t be as courteous as I. Do enjoy your stay,” she says. Various people check their ghost radars. There she one? Saturday night saw the grand opening of the Fritzler Corn Maze and the debut of their latest attraction: the Interactive Haunted Ghost Hunt, which takes small groups through an old west town with the unsettling townsfolk who have remained behind. The haunt was the idea of Joshua Stanton and Trevor Fritzler, the co-owners of Colorado-based Extreme Custom Makers and longtime workers at the maze, which is owned by Fritzler’s father Glenn. “My dad came to us and said, ‘Hey, we need something new’
and we were just sitting around talking,” Trevor said. “Josh and I were just sitting there and he goes, ‘Man, what if we had like a ghost radar like Ghost Busters and turned it into an old ghost town?’ and it took off.” From that idea came six months of planning and building as Trevor Fritzler and Stanton worked indoor maze into a haunted ghost town and designing and programming the ghost radars, which vibrate, light up and help bring new ghostly features to life. Most of the work was done in-house, with various Fritzler employees contributing their talents to building the design. Trevor Fritzler and Stanton brought the special effects to life, working in a hologram window in the town’s jail, a two-way bar mirror and several other ghostly surprises for would-be specter seekers. Another vital part of the hunt’s effectiveness is the corps of actors that work throughout the haunted town. “They’re our elites,” Trevor Fritzler said. “They’re the people who have been here forever. I grew up with them basically.” Many of the actors have been with the maze over 10 years.
Trevor Fritzler said that they added a few talented newcomers to the group, who are are allowed to improvise with the groups as they go through. “We pretty much let them ad lib this whole thing,” said Trevor Fritzler. “...This is your role, make something up and they go do it.” The hunt’s opening night was not entirely glitch-free. One of the effects vibrated itself unplugged, and the actors are still working on helping patrons experience the full effect of the hunt while getting through quickly enough to keep the line moving, but both Trevor Fritzler and Stanton were happy with how things went. The maze had offered a Facebook coupon for free admission to the haunt, and a line of 20-30 people could be seen outside the attraction throughout the night. Maze owner Glenn Fritzler is pleased with the work that has been put in to improve the attractions at the Maze. “If we took baby steps the last three, four years, we took 1,000 steps this year,” Glenn Fritzler said. The improvements are seen both as being as vital to the maze’s success and also to pro-

viding value to the patrons. “Once you’ve walked through corn, you’ve walked through corn,” Stanton said, emphasizing the need for other attractions. In addition to the ghost hunt, the maze features several other attractions including a zip line, ropes course, a zombie paintball hunt, a haunted corn maze and several food vendors. The haunted corn maze and the zombie hunt will open on Friday. Both feature live actors and special effects to add to the experience. Glenn Fritzler says that they work hard to make the maze af-
fordable for college students by offering discounted rates on most Wednesdays and Thursdays, in addition to coupons and online incentives. Trevor Fritzler hopes that UNC students will take the time to head down. “You guys studying all day long and working in class, go be a kid again,” Trevor Fritzler said. “This is a place to do that.” The Fritzler Corn Maze is located two miles south of LaSalle on U.S. Highway 85, more information can be found on their website www.fritzlermaze.com and on their Facebook page.
Possiblity of remote voting for senate elections also discussed Senate from page 10
to determine the optimal structure for UNC. The senate found that the new structure was common at state institutions around the country. “Each college will have 3 representatives (not including University College) that will serve as a part of three committees: Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, or Finance Committee,” Fuller wrote. The senate is still determining the distribution of respective duties for each committee. The only executive positions intact in the new senate are President, Student Trustee, Director
of Finance, and Director of Student Affairs. The Student Trustee will continue to serve in the traditional role of liaison between the Board of Trustees and the student body. Colorado law requires every public university in the state employ a student trustee to facilitate communication between the students and the university’s board. The President, Director of Finance and Director of Student Affairs will each be responsible for chairing a student representative committee. The President will chair the Academic Affairs Finance will chair the Fi-
Director of Student Affairs will chair the Student Affairs committee. Restructuring also required the senate to rewrite its bylaws, an arduous task. Despite the challenges, the senate was able to approve new bylaws last year. “There is no guide on ‘How To Dismantle and Reassemble University Bylaws.’ We simply went in has been a long and tedious process, but there is no doubt in my mind that we had a group that has done an absolutely phenomenal job and will continue the next step- which is successful implementation.”
As the third delegation to usher restructuring, the current senate is under pressure to complete a process that began three years ago. The 2011 Student Senate that proposed and approved restructuring hoped the process would be complete by the spring 2012 elections. Fuller explained that a lack of adequate preparation in last year’s senate attributed to the delayed completion of restructuring. This semester, a senate led restructuring committee is meeting every other Wednesday, alternating with regular senate sessions. The Restructuring Com-
mittee meets in the Council Room at the University Center and is open to all students. Students are welcome to attend restructuring meetings to learn more about the process or to contribute their input. As the university continues to grow and change, the student senate must adapt to meet the needs of the student body it represents. “The world around Senate has constantly been adapting to the generation, but we have faulted in keeping up,” Fuller wrote. The senate is considering a new procedure for voting in student elections that will allow students to vote online from their
smartphones, laptops and devices. Student elections in 2008 and 2009 allowed satellite voting and drew a turnout of 800-900, which is greater than recent elections conducted at a single voting station in the University Center. After implementing the new structure, delegates have their sights set on revising the Student Fee Allocation Process. The senate is also planning to host multiple town hall meetings this semester to discuss the process of restructuring with the student body and to identify the new opportunities warranted by the new structure.

Strong stands tall for UNC volleyball
Rachel Turnock
sports@uncmirror.com
If it wasn’t for an old basketball coach encouraging her to play volleyball, Brianna Strong may never have been a part of the UNC volleyball team. “Because I was so tall, he said, ‘You should play volleyball,’ so I was like, ‘alright, might as well try something,’” the six-foottwo middle blocker said. Strong, a junior social science major, began playing basketball when she was three, and played volleyball in the offseason starting in middle school. In high school, Strong said that she grew to like volleyball more from playing on a club team, but still played both sports at the time, as well as participating in Strong’s hometown, Mount Vernon, Iowa, is a 12-hour drive from Gree-
ley. So why would Strong come all this way when she was recruited by schools closer to home? Colorado State, Iowa, Northern Iowa, Bradley University, Kentucky and Arkansas are other schools that recruited her, but Strong said the University of Northern Colorado offered her the chance to explore. “I come from a really small town and a lot of people stay in town and go to colleges locally, and I just kind of wanted to get out and experience the rest of the country,” Strong said. “I felt like this would be the only opportunity that I could do that.” Strong redshirted as a pearance for UNC was in 2011. Last season, she had 229 kills, 11 solo blocks and 91 block assists last season. Strong already has 115 kills, eight solo blocks and 45 block assists after
12 matches this season. Last weekend Strong broke her career high in kills twice when she recorded 15 at Montana State Saturday and 19 vs. Texas A&M Sunday. Head coach Lyndsey Oates said Strong possesses physical characteristics that are helpful on the court. “She’s aggressive and she’s very physically gifted with her height, her arm speed and things like that, which volleyball demands,” Oates said. “She uses those talents well.” Standing almost at eye level right next to Strong on the court is junior middle blocker Andrea Spaustat. Strong and Spaustat spend considerable time together between practice, games and living together. Spaustat said Strong’s playful personality is an attribute she appreciates as a teammate and a roommate. “She’s one of my best
friends, and she’s just crazy, she’s joking all the time,” Spaustat said. Strong said she was very active with her family as a child, likely lending itself to continuing on in her athletic career with the Bears. “I love to be outside and we used to go camping and ways a lot of fun,” she said. “I like to stay active, with basketball and just sports, and hang out with friends.” Strong still has at least one more year at UNC, and as one of the team’s older players, she tries to be an effective leader for the rest of the team and strive for the goals she set for herself and her fellow Bears. “I just want this team to grow as a whole,” Strong said. “Obviously winning the Big Sky is the priority, but after that, after we reach that goal hopefully, to go to the NCAA, and hopefully

The Bluejay Invitational at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. pitted the UNC volleyball team against some of the stiffest competition it will face all year. For senior defensive specialist Merideth Johnson, it was an opportunity to shine as she was named to the all-tournament team. “It was pretty awesome,” Johnson said. “I wasn’t expecting that at all; it was a huge honor.” After falling to Creighton on Sept. 6 and California the next day, Johnson and the University of Northern Colorado needed a spark. They got just that. After averaging just over 17 digs per match for the tournament, Johnson led the squad with 20 in a comeback win for the Bears over South Florida. “We had two really tough losses before that,” she said. “So to come out and win that one was really good for our team.” Johnson’s roommate, sophomore outside hitter Kendra Cunningham, said Johnson is reliable on the court. “Her leadership is incredible on defensive,” Cunningham said. “She calls
the plays on defense, and if there’s a ball I can’t get to, she’s always there. You can trust her.” So far this season, Johnson has 219 digs, the most on the team. That’s an average of 5.21 digs per set. Coach Lyndsey Oates said Johnson is a leader and a defensive star in the middle for the Bears. “From a leadership standpoint, she’s kind of our go-to,” coach began. “She’s the girl on our team who can get after people and push the right buttons. And we need that from her.” Oates added that the team has plenty of encouraging players, but Johnson’s ability defense is unique. “She’s been very consistent, especially in her senior year,” said Oates. “ She made huge strides this spring, and we trust that she has a third to a half of the court covered on any given play.” For Johnson, the experience of being a collegiate athlete has been priceless. Johnson says her teammates make her experience as a Bear even more special. “It’s one of my favorite college experiences,” she said. “I have 11 automatic friends and we are pretty much a family.”

Soccer finishes second in tournament at Boulder Staff Report

UNC soccer went 2-0-1 over the course of last week between a road date at Wyoming and the Omni Hotels Colorado Women’s Soccer Classic in Boulder.

Bears celebrate Live Like Austin Day
Samantha Fox
sports@uncmirror.com
Inspiration can be from anywhere. For the UNC football team, it comes from a 14-year-old boy. “You do have to count your blessings,” senior linebacker Clarence Bumpas said. “The kid’s just a motivation factor. You think about everything he has to go through day by day and no matter how hard your day goes you’ve got to understand that it could be worse.”
Saturday was Live Like Austin Day, in honor of Austin Ervin, who suffers from bilateral closedlip schizencephaly, which causes him to suffer from anywhere from 80-100 seizures a day. Ervin visited the University of Northern Colorado during spring practice and was named an honorary member of the football team. He signed with the club, got his own locker and his own Bears jersey. Friday, Ervin was back in Greeley and spent the
weekend with the football team, and stood on the sidelines during the game. Before the game when he met with the marching band, Kurt Ervin, Austin’s father, said Austin was overwhelmed by the attention. “He turned to me and said, ‘I don’t deserve all this,’” Kurt said. During a timeout break, Austin was introduced over the stadium’s speakers and he received a standing ovation. Kurt said the support from the team, the university and the city of Greeley
has been great, and to have a day dedicated to Austin was a momentous occasion. “You have mile-markers in your life, and what UNC has done for Austin and me is create a mile-marker in his life,” Kurt said. “You always talk about the big things, do you remember win, and this is obviously a day we will remember.” UNC head coach Earnest Collins Jr. was a major factor in bringing the Ervins after sophomore defensive back Tyler Bloyer showed a video of Austin’s story to some teammates and running back coach Terrance Robinson, who brought the video to Collins. In an intervisit, Robinson said Collins expressed interest in bringing Austin to UNC shortly after watching the video. See Austin on page 23

UNC women’s soccer has seen its share of wins and losses throughout the season so far, but when they have been successful, usually senior goalkeeper Natalie D’Adamio has shown her unique athletic ability. “She worked hard, learned, got better and she had a great year (in 2012) and now is following that up,” said University of Northern Colorado head coach Tim Barrera. “We want to defend as a team and with Natalie back there making the saves she’s supposed to makes the defenders comfortable with their teammates.” So far this season the Bears (4-3-2) have been able to shut out opponents in each win, thanks to strong, consistent play from D’Adamio. UNC has been able to rely on its keeper to communicate effectively and set up its defense. “With her directing play back there, also being a great shot stopper, her distribution being good and she’s vocal, allowing her to be a really solid player for us,” Barrera said Thursday. “We’ve had three shutouts our last three matches so we’re on a little bit of a roll and now we have to keep rolling from there.” D’Adamio has been a Bear for four years now and has grown throughout her time here, from sitting behind all-time saves leader Kirsten Salminen to being named Big Sky Goalkeeper of the Year in 2012 and returning this year with more to prove. “I’ve grown in many

Ervin inspires Northern Colorado football Austin from page 18
“I actually witnessed him have a seizure (Friday),” Collins said. “He has them all the time and I hadn’t seen it, and to witness him have one was absolutely amazing how he reacted after that situation. It was about a minute and his dad picked him up out of a meeting, sat him in the hallway and then he jumped up, like ‘Okay, let’s go.’ That’s part of what it is for us. No matter what’s happening or has happened, you’ve got to move on and keep moving and keep working at it to get it better and that’s what that young man does and that’s what we’ve got to do. He’s a special kid, that’s all I can say, and I’m glad he’s a part of our program.” Even the players said Austin inspired them, putting Saturday’s loss in a
greater perspective. “I came to the sideline and my head was down, I was really mad because (the University of Northern Iowa) did a four-and-out, and I sit down on the bench and he’s right there next to me and I look at him, and I’m just like, ‘This isn’t even that big of a deal — there are people with much bigger problems,’” freshman running back Darius Graham said. “That motivates me. That tell me to keep my head up, go out there and give it your all because you never know when it’s going to be your last time playing football.” Austin’s presence at the game was a reminder for all present not to take things so hard and to appreciate what each and every person has in the present.
