The Mirror Poll:
Editor-in-chief: Alexandria Adair Vasquez
THE MIRROR editor@uncmirror.com like it’s a fat venomous spider sitting on a nest full of hatching eggs. I like to make peace, not war. So what does a peoplepleasing pushover like myself do when things just aren’t going my way? When do I draw the line and speak up about it? To be honest, there are very, very few things that I see as enough of a problem for me to say something about. Drinking and driving is one of them. I know way too many people that drink and drive regularly, and continue to do so because nothing bad has happened yet. They haven’t gotten pulled over yet. They haven’t gotten a ticket yet. They haven’t gotten in an accident yet. They haven’t killed anyone yet.
Last week’s question:
Reflects
Thoughts from the editorial staff of The Mirror
Just because you ignore something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist
It’s much easier to ignore the rules when you’re lucky enough to have never experienced negative consequences. It’s enough to make people believe that they never will have to deal with those consequences. But just because you’ve never been caught doesn’t mean you never will be, and just because you haven’t crashed your car doesn’t mean you never will. Every time I tell people that drinking and driving is one of the few things that really infuriates me, they always say, “What’s the big deal?” Let me tell you. me if when you got behind that wheel you were just taking your own life in your hands, but you’re not. You are endanger-
ing every other person on the road, including the people who thought ahead and chose to stay sober, the people like me who are just driving home from their night shifts, the people who are going to see their loved ones somewhere. You have no right to take those peoples’ lives in your hands, just as a murderer has no right to take the lives of innocent people. Did I just compare drunk drivers to murderers? Yes, I did. Every drunk driver is a potential killer. I know that when everyone got their license, they had to watch the scary anti-drinking-anddriving videos where so-and-so ended up in a wheelchair, and so-and-so
wrapped her car around a light pole killing everyone inside or so-and-so hit another car and was completely okay but killed the other car’s passengers. I know you (yes, YOU) have seen that stuff. Everyone I know who drinks and drives has seen that stuff, and it blows my mind that they still choose to do it. My same aforementioned coworker recently got arrested for a DUI. He was not the one to tell me; I heard through the grapevine. He still has not told me what happened, but he knows I know vaguely. I have not asked other people, and I have not asked

I prefer marijuana to alcohol. There, I said it. I know I’m not the only one, and I know the other people who feel this way have their own reasons for their preference as well. I certainly have plenty of reasons. Among others, I’m way too busy to get drunk and party it up. Ever. I have a job and classes and a long-term, committed relationship, and it’s all I can do to keep some semblance of a social life. With school as my main focus, I know marijuana affects me and my studies much differently than alcohol affects those who choose to drink. When I wake up, or between classes, or before or during work—I like to blaze it (don’t worry, I work at a smoke shop). When I’m stressed or bored or writing—I like to blaze it.
Heck, catch me with a ten-minute break at any time during the day—and I’ll blaze it. Obviously, my smoking habits have a big effect on my study habits. Although marijuana gives me a sink-into-the-couch feeling, it also inspires me. Drinker-students tend to get all their work done ahead of time and then party on the weekends. I, however, don’t do my work in bulk. I space it out and procrastinate pretty hard. Maybe that’s the biggest difference between the two student lifestyles. I do, however, believe it is easier to be productive when high. I can get blazed beyond belief and still know who I am, where I am, make good decisions and be aware of the things I have to do, though I may be less motivated to do them.
If I get drunk beyond belief and manage to not throw up, my brain is jumbled, too fast, confusing and spinning. No way could I get any work done drunk. If you have to remember facts as well kiss weed goodbye. I can’t imagine doing engineering, or math, or sports and exercise science, or nursing, or anything like that while being as friendly with Mary Jane as I am. But philosophy, English, or art majors are just better suited for the stoner lifestyle. As a student, you just have to have your priorities straight when you pick your poison, and how often to partake. -Hailey Reynolds is a sophomore English major

that he’s chosen not to tell me. He has quit drinking time and time again, because he has driven drunk time and time again and he knows it’s wrong. I would not judge him if he told me what happened. I love him with all my heart. But I do not understand that after his brushes with the law and after his brushes with death he still cannot choose, when drunk, not to drive. I choose to walk everywhere when I’m drunk. And dammit, I shouldn’t be the only one.
hope he chooses to tell me himself. This is just speculation, but it must be out of shame

Alexander Heit: More to the story than texting and driving Katarina Velazquez
news@uncmirror.com
Society sometimes overlooks the bright side in favor of the darkest stories. Alexander Heit was an amiable and benevolent person. Though he kept a reserved and quiet demeanor on the University of Northern Colorado’s campus, his friends and family knew him as the clever and witty man he really was. Heit was naturally curious, and he often chose to observe the world around him, noting the changes he would like to make one day. A 6-foot, 22-year-old audiology and speech-language major, he had decided to pursue his degree after witnessing his grandfather’s struggles with hearing loss. He cherished his academics and graduated with honors from Fairview High School in Boulder in 2009. Heit found peace in nature and a home in the outdoors. He loved his Colorado mountains and in them. Whether he was hiking or snowboarding, Heit was passionate, and he found excitement in an active lifestyle. Some of his biggest adventures steered him to snowboarding in Whistler in British Columbia, Canada, and Jackson Hole in Wyoming, and also led him to be a regular visitor to Colorado’s many snow resorts. He was an effortless giver. Though typically introverted, Heit became an extrovert when it involved the happiness of other living things. He was interested in helping everyone he could and making their quality of life better. As a volunteer at both the Humane Society and at the local hospital, he wanted to be a positive contributor to other people and animals’ lives. Heit was also skilled
when he turned on his video game system, preferred dub-step music, rocked Nike clothing and was an avid Atlanta Braves fan. A dependable and trustworthy brother to his two sisters and a congenial son to proud parents Sharon and Steve, he was close and involved with his family. They said they noticed he had a unique vision and an old soul, and that they were often surprised with his insights and humor. But in one moment, with one simple mistake, everything was taken from Heit and everyone who had ever gotten to know him. A little over a year ago, Alexander Heit was in a car accident involving texting and driving that took his life. According to the Greeley police report, Heit had been traveling eastbound at about 5 p.m. April 3, 2013, on O Street from 35th Avenue on a turn with a narrow dirt shoulder and a steep drop. Witnesses said he appeared to have his face down when he began drifting into the oncoming lane another vehicle traveling westbound slow down and move over, he jerked his steering wheel and overcorrected his vehicle, causing it to roll over. Heit died from brain injury. Heit had a clean driving record and was not speeding when the accident occurred. Days later, his parents released a striking image of Heit’s phone, which showed the text message that he had been typing but never sent. Police found Heit’s phone with the text message conversation on display. “Hey man I had to run out for like an hour,” the sender wrote. Heit had a partial response typed out, but it was never sent.

Alexander Heit’s cell phone display screen shortly after the accident showed a text message Heit had typed but never sent.
“Sounds good my man, seeya soon, ill tw,” it read. The Heit family made clear that they wanted to use this photo as an eyeopener for those who have made the mistake of texting and driving. They said not everybody really understood the tragedy they were
going through when they lost their son. Sharon and Steve Heit said he was a beloved and integral part to not only their family, but to the community as well. “No words can truly describe the nightmare Alex’s tragic and sudden death has been to us,” they wrote in an
email this week to The Mirror. “He was a bright young man with a good heart and a strong desire to make a positive contribution to the world, and his loss will be felt forever more.” When it comes to texting and driving, the Heits say simply: do not do it. They said drivers should have their full attention on the road. They often see people obliviously texting while driving, they said, and it saddens them. Often it only takes one slip-up for an everyday driver to end up in the same catastrophe. “We would ask only that students recognize their own importance to their families’ and the world, and when they can, choose to make safe choices,” they wrote. Sharon and Steve Heit recalled a memory of Heit that demonstrated the way he lived his life. They said that although Heit was very gifted and talented when it came to his education, he had always struggled with learning the Spanish language. Despite the fact that

pushed through in middle and high school and even went on to declare a minor in the language in college. They said he did this because he knew it would help him serve and aid the Spanish-speaking populations in America, and it would allow him to fully be able to communicate with them. “It was just the way he was,” they wrote. According to textinganddrivingsafety.com, 23 percent of auto collisions in 2011 involved cell phones. That is approximately 1.3 million car accidents. Texting while driving is also about six times more likely to cause an accident than driving intoxicated, and is the same as driving after four beers. According to the Insur-
happened during that time period, the opening was postponed. The project is predicted to be complete by the middle of this month. On UNC’s campus, a Burr oak tree was planted north of Gunter Hall in honor of Heit. The tree was planted Oct. 18, which would have been Heit’s 23rd birthday. The tree is also accompanied by a bench with a plaque for Heit. Sharon and Steve Heit said that they appreciated the experience Heit had at UNC and the kindness the school has shown since the accident. “We are reminded of how precious and fragile life is, to cherish the moments with the ones we love and to be kind to everyone,” they wrote.

Colorado’s “silent problem” heard by UNC students Monique Becker
news@uncmirror.com
Michaela Cross | The Mirror
Colorado has the eighth highest suicide rate in the nation. Not addressing this rate has made it the states’s “silent problem.”
Suicide is the leading cause of death for 10-34 year olds, and the seventh highest cause of death for all age groups in Colorado. According to a press release from the Colorado State Senate, Colorado is home to the eighth highest suicide rate in the nation. Because of the high suicide rates in the state, it has become known as Colorado’s “silent problem.” Senator Linda Newell, who just began her second four-year term, has attempted to address these high suicide rates by pushing legislation to establish a commission of public and private experts. These experts would help provide recommendations for how to reduce the suicide rates of Coloradans. Anthony Thomas, a senior criminal justice major, said the issue is close to his heart. “I was suicidal, and I think it’s a cheap shot,” Thomas said. “It’s more
one wants to help unless they know that you’re going through something.” With the creation of the bill, a commission will be created with the intention of providing both private and public leadership and interventions for suicide prevention. Those representing both the private and public sections will have experience or will have been affected by suicide and suicide prevention. “I know a lot of people who thought about it, and it was an easy way out for them,” said David Fitch, a freshman computer science major. “With younger kids, I think suicide is a way for them to get attention. But for some, it is a real problem and it’s sad to think that they don’t think they have anything to live for at such a young age.” Suicide may be written out as an attention-seeking ploy by some, but the legislative declaration states that suicide is a statewide problem and that there should be more education provided to make the public more aware of the problem. It also says the state
insta-
should provide options for the people of Colorado who are struggling with the issue. It also stated that it is necessary for this bill to be passed for the safety, health and peace of the public. Some of the responsibilities of the Suicide Prevention Commission include providing public and private leadership for the prevention of suicide, setting statewide suicide prevention priorities, being an advisor to the promotes coordination and cooperation between suicide prevention programs and strategies throughout the state. UNC offers counseling and psychiatric care for UNC students who are in need of these services. “I know that we have them, but I don’t know how effective they are. No one wants to talk about their problems; they don’t want to be stigmatized and think they’re alone, no matter where they go,” Thomas said. The Counseling Center is located and can be reached at 970-351-2496.

Balancing act of work and a social life Monique Becker
news@uncmirror.com
The University Alumni Association and UNC’s Counseling Services provided a workshop last Monday for seniors on how to maintain a proper work and life balance. Tips on mindfulness meditation, stress management and breathing techniques were provided at the workshop. Lee Shefferman, a staff psychologist from UNC’s counseling services, said mindfulness meditation is the practice of observing one’s breathing patterns and making notes of where thoughts are during breathing. Being mindful is the ability to make moment-to-moment judgments without emotion clouding the decision. Shefferman said that while being mindful helps with the ability to make judgment calls, it also helps with being more aware of the present so that it is easier to gain perspective on a situation. Shefferman also said it helps with being able to control reactions from stress. According to a pamphlet handed out at the event, stress is involved in everything in life, and it causes people to view situations differently than they normally would. According to www.msn.healthyliving.com, there are seven reasons stress is healthy for the body: it gives life it’s zing, makes people more social, improves memory, enhances creativity, makes people more alert, boosts immune systems and helps human bodies recover faster. But too much stress can also cause the immune system to fail. Ulcers can begin to form and weaken the heart, which can eventually lead to heart attacks and strokes. Some tips the pamphlet provided to manage stress are to learn to accept what
cannot be changed, try to be happy with a performance that was less than satisfactory, learn how to organize time and prioritize tasks by their importance. The pamphlet’s tips also recommended to eliminate solutions that can further impair one’s health, recognize short-term solutions as shortterm solutions and learn the body’s signs of stress so they can be controlled. The pamphlet said it is also very important to keep the body healthy by eating well, getting plenty of sleep and exercising regularly. Another important tip in stress management provided by Shefferman at the stressful than showing it, but it is important to choose battles that are worth it. Chest breathing, which is caused by the by stress, can quickly lead to hyperventilation. Through chest breathing there is not enough carbon dioxide in the blood and can result in nausea, irritability, lightheadedness, confusion, anxiety and muscle twitching. Chest breathing requires the body to work harder than it does during diaphragmatic, or belly, breathing to bring the same amount of oxygen into blood cells. “I think that for these techniques to work the person has to want them to work. It’s a mind over body situation,” said Ashlyn Adams, a freshman secondary education theatre art major. The point of mindfulness, Shefferman said, is to be fully aware of present experiences, no matter what they might be. The seven principles of mindfulness are nonjudging, patience, beginner’s mind, trust, non-striving, acceptance and letting go.

Student art sale provides way to support local art Kimberly Molina
arts@uncmirror.com
Walking through the University Center is part of a lot of students’ usual routines, but last week the same old route had a very different view. There were colors, familiar game faces and rows of pottery being displayed with lines of students ready to buy them. Art students had the opportunity of presenting their art work last week on the lower level of the University Center. The mini-exhibition was hosted all week, Monday through Friday. The gala hosted two main types of art, which were print and clay pieces from the two departments on campus. The art pieces were abstract and unique. They each individual artist contributing to the gala, such as with artist Hyuk Chang, a sophomore art major with a drawing emphasis. Chang explained that ed the past trauma he experienced as a child, and his success in overcoming bullying. Chang said he most enjoys pen and ink art, and he draws what comes to mind. Not only were these pieces available for purchase to the people frequenting the University Center, it was an opportunity for students to display
their talents and show the public and peers their hard work and accomplished pieces. “It is rewarding, and this is what I work towards all year. It is really interesting to hear feedback, especially when we are isolated in the studio,” said Michelle Silverstein, a senior art education major. The art sale is a way for students to get credit for the work they put in their pieces, and they also have the opportunity to sell them. Taking full ownership of their art, the students choose the price for their work. Jimmy Ferrari, who has a specialty in making his own creation of naked lady cups, sold all 30 of his pieces by the end of the week. The senior and art education major explains why he is a part of the art sale every year. “It is a really great feeling because the campus does not understand the art till I am able to explain my creation. It’s a celebration of hard work,” Ferrari said. The student artists also offered ways to make framing the art convenient for buyers by offering bundle deals. “I had someone buy a three pack of my Super Mario mushroom paintings,” senior art major Steven Josephson said. “I painted the standard red and green ones, and I decided to add

“May the fourth be with you,” was a common Facebook status on Sunday as pun-happy fans took to social media to celebrate cial celebration of general nerd-dom. Nowhere was that sentiment more relevant than at The Crvsh Room, where UNC senior visual communication and design major Kyle Starrett had hung a vividly-drawn, colorful portrait of Darth Vader as part of the Senioritis Art Show. “I didn’t plan for the fourth,” Starrett told The Mirror in a phone interview.

A good cause and a show. Anyone who went on Saturday to the Atlas Theater, which hosted two showings of “Til Dance Do Us Part,” got to watch an original play and bid for art in a silent auction all in the same event. The play is a musical production set in the seemingly timeless era of the suburban 1950s. All of the actors were UNC students. The story is centered around a suburban couple planning a vacation for two weeks aboard a cruise. But, as it turns out, the main character, Harvey (played by Jake Brumley), is afraid of dancing, a theme which persists through the play. “The title is particularly funny because it’s about

Pashia said that, from about two years to create. “We started in November 2012 with nothing, but I knew I wanted to do a musical. But then I reached out to the English department and we got Ariana (Conway), and we kind of went meeting.” Ariana Conway was hired on as the librettist for the show. The librettist is the person who writes the words to an opera. “So we met, we had no story ideas, brainstormed a bunch together and ultimately decided on ‘Til Dance do us Part,’” Conway said. “I loved seeing the visual come together, that was really important to me.” Conway also said she loved seeing the musical
jokes Pashia was able to work into the show, which she said she felt went hand in hand with the script. Because of Conway’s writing style, which included a lot of wordplay and the creation of a few words a la Shakespeare to create subtle jokes, Pashia said that Conway’s contributions to the writing were his favorite parts of the show. “I always think that if the lines aren’t delivered ten, it’s not going to be as funny. So it’s great to see the wit and the humor that she injected into the script,” Pashia said. While the production was going on, there was a silent art auction, with all art created by UNC students. All proceeds went to the Weld County Boys and Girls Club.

Ethridge said she respects Jaime White’s development of UNC’s women’s basketball program, and looks forward to building on it in the future. She said her dream is to grow the team’s fan base and to make women’s basketball games “the place to be.” “I just can’t wait to get more involved in the university,” Ethridge said. “I can’t wait to engage with the faculty and the peers and to be at games and to support this place and to become a member of Greeley and this community.” Ethridge is ready and willing to effectively lead the team through the tough transition process. “Yesterday they told me they felt like orphans, so it just felt good to belong again,” Ethridge said. “We may not like each other all the time, but we belong to each other now.” Ethridge said she is bringing competitiveness, a work ethic and a will to win to the UNC Bears. “I won’t settle,” Ethridge said. “I don’t want to settle for less than we’re capable of being.”
