THE MIRROR editor@uncmirror.com As we sat in the editor’s room Sunday night, there was football on the television per usual because it’s Sunday and this is ‘Merica, people. In disappointment from the Broncos’ lackluster victory, I did not watch intently. But I did focus in when Bob Costas gave his spiel about the name “Redskins,” as every sports writer is obliged to do this football season. Here’s mine. It’s short, I promise. I had the privilege of interviewing a real, live NFL player, Reed Doughty, for an article on page 14 in this week’s paper about UNC’s move to Division I. Doughty played for UNC and
Reflects “Redskins” offensive, contrary to owner’s stance occurred to me when I wrote the piece earlier this week that I’d have a decision to make about using the team’s nickname. I chose to fall in line with the movement against the nickname, not simply because it is offensive but because of the idiocy the opposing side has shown throughout the debate. The team’s owner, Daniel Snyder wrote an open letter in the Washington Post defending the name, citing the same old surveys that say most people don’t used an in-no-way-tongue-inperience at a football game in
hopes of somehow appealing to God-knows-what in his audience, which is also unclear. The team has maintained that the nickname is in honor of Native Americans. They can’t stop scouring for and showing us tribe members who are willing to say they’re not offended. Cool. ESPN’s Rick Reilly, a childhood inspiration for many sports writers of our generation (myself included), misquoted his own father-in-law to use him this way. But if even a small minority of the people the name supposedly “honors” are offended, a name change should be considered. At our own university, we

made a stand on the issue. The “Fightin’ Whites” was an intramural basketball team made up of Native Americans, Latinos and yes, Caucasians at UNC in 2002. 81 years of history behind a name shouldn’t buy even one more year of use. Some have suggested “Renegades” or “Warriors” as alternatives. Others argue for government-related or regionally appropriate monikers. My proposal could be construed as governmental, as well: “Whiteskins.” -Michael Nowels

What students should know about health care reform Guest Column By Bria Hutchinson
Health insurance is a big issue. Not having coverage when an accident happens can mean huge medical bills. However, it can also be very confusing for students to look for affordable coverage. Questions like “Where can I go to look for health plans?” and “How can I afford a plan?”can be overwhelming. On Oct. 1 of this year, the main parts of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, went into effect. The Affordable Care Act makes health insurance more affordable for students, lowincome families, and
small businesses. The law includes many changes to health insurance that the public should be aware of. Though the majority of University of Northern Colorado students have heard of the ACA, they may not know what changes are occurring or how those changes will affect them. Some of the things students should know about the new healthcare laws when shopping online isting conditions cannot be denied by a company anymore, all those who can afford insurance must get covered or pay a fee easily available for those who need it. Another big change is that young people can stay on their parents’ health plan until they are 26. One of the biggest changes in place now is
the health insurance marketplaces. These marketplaces are where individuals (including students) and small businesses can go to shop for health insurance. In some states, these marketplaces are federally run, but Colorado’s marketplace is state-run. It is called Connect for Health Colorado (ConnectForHealthCO.com). Students and other individuals can access Connect for Health Colorado’s website and easily compare health insurance plans across various companies. If access to a computer or the Internet is not possible, another way is to call Connect for Health (855-752-6749). CoPIRG (Colorado Public Interest Research Group) has published a guide for young people to inform them about their rights, to tell them where they can look for insur-
ance, and to answer any other questions they may have (www.copirgfoundation.org/healthinsurance101). The information below can be found on the guide, as well as much more. There are many simple ways students can be sure that they have quality health insurance. First, students should talk with their parents about their family plan, if they have one. Students is covered in their plan. could have a co-pay (the patient’s part of the fee due for each visit) of $20 for primary care physicians and $25 for specialists. If students are on the UNC plan, they can look at other plans in the marketplace to compare types of coverage and costs of premiums, which are monthly payments made See Health on page 5

Why the Crosses? We know they upset some people. We saw the posts on UNC Confessions. We saw the protestors and heard their remarks. So why did we do it? Why the crosses? Because every life is precious. Every life deserves to be honored and remembered. Because there is a whole category of humanity that is being denied their dignity, denied a chance to live, denied life for one simple reason…they aren’t wanted. Why must a child be seen as a threat? As something to be afraid of? I didn’t wanted to be treated like that as a kid, no one does. Why has society accepted treating the unborn as harmful? Why can’t children be seen as a gift, no matter what? That is how I wanted to be seen. We go barefoot as a prayer for those forgotten. As a prayer for those hurting from that choice. As a prayer for those about to make that choice. Does it hurt? Yes. Is it fun? No. But people are worth it. While this isn’t only a religious issue, our founder did teach us that one human life is worth suffering for. One human life is priceless. No one deserves to be forgotten about. Is there a better way to go about that? Maybe. We don't know. We are trying to do something. Something to remember these little ones. Something to help people not forget. Something to not lose hope. And we do have hope. We hope and pray for a world that cherishes every life. We hope and pray for a world where every person knows their value and knows love. We hope and pray for a world where every mother faced with that choice would know the love and support of her whole community. We hope and pray for a world where children are seen as a great gift. This is why the crosses. This is why we go barefoot. This is our hope. Sincerely, The Bearfoot for Babies Leaders

Community efforts are needed to combat littering across campus inhabit it. The squirrel’s tiny hands fumbled over the can in the tree until
Hazel Ink By Jennifer Hazeldine
As I was walking home from campus last Sunday, I saw a startling sight that overwhelmed me with sadness. A hungry squirrel was scurrying up a tree near the Garden Theater carrying an empty metal can of corn in his mouth. Seeing the trash upset me because this is one of the tragic results of littering. If people do not take responsibility for their trash, it will harm our planet and the animals that
and fell to the grass below. Fortunately, junior photographic imaging and graphic design major Mike Baldino picked up the garbage and recycled it before the squirrel could grab the can again. If the squirrel had kept the can, his health and safety would have been at risk. His mouth could have been cut open and an infection could have developed as a result. To prevent future littering from occurring we must take responsibility for our trash by recycling or using the waste containers conveniently located around campus. Even if the trash is not ours, we can still take action and dispose of it properly. If we work together,
we can keep our campus beautiful and the animals within it safe. A clean environment free of litter provides safety for not only the animals around campus, the students, faculty and staff at UNC. A clean campus provides a peaceful area for students to study and learn, free of clutter. It also provides safety for students and professors trying to navigate their way to class. If the can had been lying on the sidewalk, a bicyclist could have collided with it. A jogger could have tripped if he or she did not see the can. Any amount of unattended litter could potentially cause complications with people and their pets as well. Many students enjoy walking their dogs around campus and
playing with their pets. Some dogs may be attracted to litter that contains a scent. For example, if a dog were to chew on a crushed soda pop can, the dog is at risk for cutting the inside of his mouth or swallowing bits of the tin, which could potentially tear up the intestines and create medical issues. Similar to dogs, squirrels are attracted to scents. Perhaps the squirrel stole the can from the trash. Even so, this could be prevented by ensuring that all trashcans on campus have lids. This would also ensure the safety of bees and other insects, since some insect species are attracted to open trashcans. I have encountered several incidences in which I have discovered candy wrappers lying around
and even found bits of red onion on the decorative benches outside Guggenheim. Yes, onions are biodegradable, them pleasant to sit next to on a sunny afternoon. We must protect the world we live in so that future generations may still enjoy the fresh air, the clean sidewalks and green lawns. We can set good examples and disposing of it properly. If we set good examples of healthy living now, then younger generations are likely to follow our guidance and continue to throw away or recycle trash. —Jennifer Hazeldine is a junior graphic design major and staff writer for The Mirror.

Logo, laws discussed during meeting Mikhala Krochta
news@uncmirror.com
Student Senate discussed the progress of the new UNC logo, the Colorado Sunshine Law and funding requests during their meeting Wednesday at the University Center. Members began by tus of the new UNC logo. The university is designing the new logo with assistance from Torch Creative, a graphic design agency in charge of the creation process. Delegates are asking for student input in the process to create a logo that will represent the University of Northern Colorado for years to come. Student Body President Oliver Bourne introduced the creation of a UNC “Chomp Shirt.” The “Chomp Shirt” is a long sleeved shirt that is designed so when the arms are crossed in front they resemble a bear’s mouth, and when moving the arms apart and together, it looks like the bear is “chomping.” These shirts will be given who attend the Oct. 19 football game. Guest speaker Dan Satriana joined Student Senate to give a quick reminder of all the rules Senate has to follow in putting on their
meetings. The Colorado Sunshine Law, or Open Meetings Law, basically states that any meetings Senate has must be announced in some way to the student body in a proper amount of time so people can attend. There also must be minutes from the meetings available to the public for those who cannot attend. Finally, a general agenda must be posted concerning what will be discussed during the meeting. Satriana talked about the repercussions of violation of the law including a court order to prevent further issues. “It’s my understanding that the reason I come every year and give you this short presentation is because back historically at some point, there were some public meeting violations by the Student Senate...,” Satriana said, addressing the Student Senate. “Part of the remedy that was given by the court or in the settlement of the issue was that the University Council had to come every year and give tation reminding you all of the requirements of the Sunshine Law.” The public meeting violations Satriana referred to torial staff against the Stu-
dent Representative Counci (Student Senate). According to the lawsuit, the SRC violated the Sunshine Law on three oc-

However, if a club chooses to run an event that requires club presents to Student Senate in order to ask for an additional amount.” French Club asked for money to attend “Passport to Paris,” an exhibit at the Denver Art Museum, and a French restaurant for lunch.

He said change our food production systems.” The webinar attracted both prospective and veteran vegetarians. “I’m interested in veg-

No animal should be treated harshly just because we want to eat it.” Some former vegetarians in attendace expressed an interest in reconsidering meat after the webinar. “I’m writing an article about vegetarianism for my magazine writing class,” said Samantha Galecki, a senior journalism and mass communications major. “I’m also thinking about going back to being a vegetarian because it’s just healthier, but it’s so hard to go back.”
Students celebrate National Coming Out Day with night out Alexandria Vasquez
news@uncmirror.com
On Friday evening, University of Northern Colorado students were treated to a “Greeley Night Out” that to shame. were treated to a heaping plate of Italian food, a made-from-scratch cupcake and an evening of live entertainment. The event, which was hosted by the University Program Council and the GLBTA Resource Center, included a dinner at Santeramos followed by dessert
from Batter Up Cakes. The night ended on a high note with a comedy show by Chaos, the student improvisational group on campus. “It’s a chance to get out and do something different on a Friday night,” said Belen Levine, a freshman secondary mathematics major whose birthday coincided with the night’s festivities. UPC hosted an event of the same name last year in hopes of better connecting students with the local community, but this semester’s “Greeley Night Out” had a special goal – to allow GLBTA students to cel-
ebrate and honor National Coming Out Day. Christopher Cottingham, a senior communications studies major, said that the GLBTA community at the University of Northern Colorado has a presence that has been steadily growing over the past few years. “We want to promote this coming out type scenario, so they can be proud and comfortable with themselves,” said Cottingham, who is a student coordinator for the GLBTA Resource Center. However National Coming Out Day isn’t exclusively for those who identi-
fy as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. In addition to honoring the coming out process for individuals forming their identities, Cotthingham said it is also a day for heterosexual allies to announce their support and love for the GLBTA community. Cottingham describes UNC as “a fairly accepting community” with “no lack of social opportunities” for its students who identify themselves as GLBTA. Levine, who had several friends come out on Friday, said she was proud of them. She also said she was interested in joining Spec-
trum, the club responsible for putting together events like Queer Prom and drag shows every year. Shanice Clarke, public relations and marketing coordinator for UPC, said that she felt the night was a success despite initially rocky ticket sales and overcrowding at Santeramos. “The students seemed to enjoy themselves. They got a huge meal, and got to see a great show,” Clarke said. “This is one of those events we will highly recommend to be planned again.” National Coming Out in 1988. The annual date
for NCOD was designated as Oct. 11 to celebrate the anniversary of the 1987 March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights. The 1987 march included over half a million people marching on the nation’s capitol. National Coming Out Day: Greeley Night Out is part of a series of events the GLBTA Resource Center is hosting in commemoration of GLBT History Month in October. The next event will be an Ally Rally on Oct. 24 at the UC. A full schedule of GLBT History Month is available online at www.unco.edu/glbt.

What a government shutdown entails a government shutdown is the closure of non-essential due to lack of approval on the government programs’ budget for the upcoming Currently, Congress is unable to agree on certain aspects of the annual budget, legally requiring that the national government temporarily terminate programs, organizations, departments and any other en“essential” role.
The U.S. federal government entered a government shutdown Oct. 1, 2013, the
2. What constitutes an essential role In general, jobs dealing with national security, foreign policy and safety of property will be left alone. Other entities left unscathed are self-funded agencies such as the U.S. Postal Service. Finally, anything written into permanent law or budgets previously approved, such as Social Security and food stamps, will remain. Because the salaries of Congress’ members are written into permanent law until their term ends, they still receive compensation. 3. The loss of non-essential federal jobs Roughly 800,000 feder-
al workers have now been furloughed. A furlough is when employees are ordered to take a mandatory, unpaid leave of absence. This single layoff spawns issues ranging in severity from more than seums closing to food inspection and environmental safety operations shutting down. These workers may or may not receive compensation, and some of the remaining 1.3 million essential workers may work unpaid until the government is fully open. 4. The shutdown is affecting college students Due to the Department of Education’s furlough, warded is safe and sound.

Congress allowed the shutdown to happen The reason Congress is still unable to agree on the national budget is dissent from the Republican Party concerning the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. In particular, the division is based on disagreements concerning when the PPACA will be actively put into motion and funding. Some headlines are reporting that the government may default on its loans, but Forbes states this is highly unlikely. The government’s full services will resume when Congress resolves this issue.

SOAPbox Slam offers poets creative, emotional outlet through self-expression Slam Jam By Elena Jones
The subtle lighting and open space of Atlas Theater set the stage for a poetry slam organized by SOAPbox Productions Tuesday night. Five students performed poems that incorporated their thoughts and feelings in a vocal, expressive way that they said hoped would resonate with their audience. The slam consisted of three rounds: each poet read one poem per round and was evaluated on multiple standards by volunteer judges in the audience, myself being one of them. The rules: Poems must be no longer than three minutes, no props or musical instruments are allowed; although other works may be referenced—the poems must be original. Poets are scored on a scale of 1-10 with one decimal point allowed. Winners of each slam automatically qualify to repersent UNC at the College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational in March. University of Colorado at Boulder is hosting CUPSI this year.
Richard Camp, MC of the night, and a slam poet himself, describes the inspiration for a poem coming from his body as a type of sensation. “As you become a better poet, whether that be on the page or a performance poet, you begin to learn the conventions of the art and you take it out of merely the emotional realm and into the kind of logical thinking realm where you’re actually constructing the poem so that it can affect your audience the way that you desire it to.” Cheers echoed off the walls poet” who sets the standard for the judges, walked on stage. His lationship he had could’ve been fairer to him and given him what he deserved. “Four: You could’ve taught me how to swim but now I’m always waiting around to be rescued because you were too busy diving into swimming pools full of liquor… “Nine: You could’ve taken care of me after every racial slur, I deserve that healing, I deserve to not apologize for my feelings.” The words Allen spoke almost possessed the space around him and the people with it. Cayden Osley, co-founder of SOAPbox raved about his talent after explaining her club’s objec-
tives and why it is so important. opportunity to make a change through art outside of the school of the arts and dance… Our objective is to share student written work and student-run work…. our message, the things that we produce, focus on things that are politically relevant, culturally conscious and socially engaging.” As other poets slammed in front of the audience, loud applause and rapid snapping followed. Members of the audience engaged with the poets themselves. UNC student Tyler Richmeier expressed how the audience is so important to the performance. “To hear people bare their souls like that in front of an audience is really amazing… I don’t think as many people know about it as they should…there’s a good size audience tonight but it would be great if a lot of people could come because it’s always great to perform in front of a lot of people. It’s nice to get appreciation for the work you put in.” Each poet was greeted by clapping and support after every poem they read; Camp explains that this is the objective of a successful poet. “It’s a lot of healing poetry, you’ll tell a lot of stories about yourself…in that way it’s just
about expression, it’s about you,” Camp said. “Luckily, because of the human condition, things that resonate with us, about us, also resonate with our audience. When we’re getting up there being very transparent, very honest, our audience sees that and it resonates with them because some of them may have had similar struggles, if not the same damn struggle.” Bryan Drews became a slam and proves that the audience is just as important as the words themselves. “Slamming is just so much fun because it gives you a completely different night for two hours,” Drews said. “Instead of just going and sitting at my house… I get to actually listen to people who are throwing themselves on stage and saying how they (redacted) feel, so that’s why I just want to do it for as long as I can, just for fun.” Poetry slams are held at 7:30 p.m. at the Atlas Theater (709 16th Street) every other Tuesday.

Ten years later, a look back at the transition to Division I
Michael Nowels
sports@uncmirror.com
In American society, college is largely viewed as a time of transition. Ten years ago, UNC began a transition of its own, moving from NCAA Division II to Division I. Jim Fallis, the athletic director at the time, said the decision boiled down Jim Fallis to something very simple: perception of the university. “Unfortunately, in the minds of the media and a lot of times in the minds of your boosters and your fans, you’re not as valued at the Division II level as if you were a Division I institution,” he said. The board of trustees unanimously voted on May 10, 2002 to approve the University of Northern Colorado’s move to a Division I exploratory period lasting cially joined Division I on level was Aug. 29 when the soccer team fell 3-0 at the University of Denver. UNC President Kay
Norton was the Secretary to the Board of Trustees when the d e c i s i o n President Kay was made Norton and became president of the university in July 2002. She said she believes it was the correct decision, even if she didn’t make it. “Whether or not I liked it, that’s the direction the board said we were going,” she said. “I do believe it was the right decision to hindsight, could we have made it with more information and maybe been better prepared? Yes.” That missing information was mostly about the cost of increasing the number of scholarships available to players. Football moved from 36 scholarships to 63 and other sports experienced similar jumps, amplifying their recruiting ability but requiring more Jay Hinrichs funding, which did not come through immediately. Former athletic director Jay Hinrichs, who was hired by UNC in 2004, said he believes scholarships are very important but funding them can be challenging. “Obviously you want to be at full scholarship so you can have as many talented young men and women on campus competing in, in our case, 19 sports,” he said. “Even today, UNC’s not fully funded in all 19 sports. Many schools are. You can name them: the Alabamas, the Floridas, the Stanfords. Many of our peers in the Big Sky don’t
have full funding for all of their sports.” Norton said she believes the school could have done more to understand where it stood in terms of scholarship funding. “With just a handful of exceptions at the very top of the Division I category, athletics programs do not make money,” she said. “Though we had raised some extra funds for scholarships, I think we underestimated what the cost of having additional athletic scholarships would be. We also were not prepared to talk with our fan base and our boosters and supports about what the genuine costs were.” From the inside, the scholarship situation was also an issue, as the university balanced keeping returning student-athletes on partial scholarships with offering full rides to recruits. Former UNC safety Reed Doughty, who now plays for Washington’s NFL team, said he saw the school walking that tight-

“There were a lot of great players on partial scholarships my upperclassman years,” he said. “They were trying to give some of the younger, supposed to be more talented players full rides. That’s through that transition and not everybody has the same scholarship.” UNC found a home in the Big Sky Conference on May 17, 2005. Not all sports were Big Sky members, though. Baseball, men’s golf, wrestling and swimming and diving still do not compete in the conference because the Big Sky does not have competition in those sports. See Sports on page 23

Volleyball must continue to work after snapping six-game losing streak Saturday Fox Tales
By Samantha Fox
It’s easy to fall into a routine when participating in sports, whether winning or losing, practice structure or even relying on key players game-in and game-out. when the losing streak begins. It’s simple for coaches and players to say they will put the rough patch in the past, but when a team’s momentum loses the edge in the next game, the club often falls back into the same mental slump that contributed to the previous losses. The UNC volleyball
team won Saturday after a six-match losing streak. Sophomore outside hitter Kendra Cunningham and assistant coach Jenny Glenn said the team’s motto was, “Play in the moment.” As an ex-volleyball player, I know how hard this truly is to play each point individually and to leave bad plays behind. how easy it is to build upon the positives. Volleyball and tennis may be the only sports where every play results in a point, and volleyball is the only one where teammates come together after each play, whether to celebrate or refocus. I had a friend ask me why volleyball players gather after every point, and Saturday it occurred to me that it is so much more
than just part of volleyball culture, which was how I explained it when he asked. When a team begins a point streak, the energy in the circle is beyond comparison and that is important for aggressive play. It is also a way to get pumped up to control the match. The University of Northern Colorado had been in situations where the other team controls the match, but Eastern Washington ference play UNC stopped from leaving Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion with a win. I guarantee you, when the Bears were struggling to string together points Saturday, the encouragement prevented the Eagles from taking the edge away. record a second win in Big
Sky play, but the bigger test is heading out on the road to see if the win will translate into more success in two matches next weekend. One match is at Northern Arizona, which has the same number of conference wins as UNC has losses. Something became clear once conference play started: this volleyball team isn’t the same one fans have become accustomed to. This year’s team is not the same dominating force fans were familiar with that won the Big Sky tournament a year ago, but that is not to take away from the potential this year’s team has. Everyone minus the freshman class has experienced UNC volleyball at the Big Sky tournament, and that experience still has a chance to be relived
this season. Luckily for the Bears, the season isn’t over yet. The addition of Ashley Guthrie as setter was one of the best UNC could have hoped for. Guthrie makes the adjustment from high school to college look easy. It is rare to have a player who looks so comfortable in a true freshman campaign from the start. At the start of conference play, the volleyball team reminded me of another UNC team: the 2011-2012 men’s basketball team. A year after traveling to the Big Dance, the team went 9-19 overall, 5-11 in the Big Sky. The loss of the four seniors (Neal Kingman, Chris Kaba, Taylor Montgomery and of course Devon Beitzel) left a bigger hole than the team may have
expected, considering Kingman and Kaba were marginal contributors in their senior season. When the structure of a team changes, so should the coaching approach, especially when formerly effective strategies are no longer working. It’s too early to tell if the changes for the volleyball team have set in, but Glenn did mention practices have changed. This week in particular will be a strong indicator of whether the win Saturday will prove to start a new routine or if the Bears will quickly fall back into a losing pattern. — Samantha Fox is a graduate student of sociology and sports reporter and former sports editor of The Mirror.

Holland said UNC created better chances than it did when it played Metro State on Sept. 21. “Before, we were shooting from 20-30 yards out, but we worked hard and got into prime positions to score goals,” Holland said of his team.

UNC club hockey showed its offensive prowess in an 8-5 win against the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs at the Greeley Ice Haus on Friday. The Ice Haus was packed and the crowd was on its feet for much of the game as the high-scoring affair kept energy high. by both teams, the score climbed in the second period. The University of Northern Coloperiod, including a hat trick by junior forward Colten Foster. UCCS scored four times, keeping the game within reach. A UCCS skater was penalized for a hit from behind on senior forward Corbin Fitzgibbons and was ejected from the game. Fitzgibbons was down on the ice for a couple minutes before rejoining his team at the bench. It appeared Fitzgibbons had fully

NFL player apologizes for remarks toward Wisconsin band

He said Raiola acknowledged his conduct had been inappropriate and asked him to accept his apology in a phone call Tuesday. Raiola said he had not meant for his words to be personal but could understand how it was taken that way, Leckrone added. Raiola, who will not face any further disciplinary action from the NFL, reportedly made a “sig-

After Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola made ”inappropriate comments” to University of Wisconsin Marching Band members during their Green Bay performance last weekend, the band director says he considers the matter closed. Marching Band Director Michael Leckrone said he received phone calls from both Lions President Tom Lewand and Raiola this week to apologize after UW band members reported the Lions player verbally assaulted several members during their pre-game show at Lambeau Field. Every year the UW Marching Band gets the opportunity to play at a Green Bay Packers’ home game, Leckrone said. About twothirds of the way through the pregame show, the marching band players were standing at attention to play the “Star Spangled Ban-

ner” when Raiola shouted some “very inappropriate comments” toward some of the band members, Leckrone said. According to a band member’s Facebook post, which had been shared nearly 480 times as of Tuesday night, Raiola went on a “tirade” questioning the band
member’s sexuality, referencing his family and poking fun at a trombone player’s weight. Raiola also reportedly called a the trombone player a “fat f***” asking him if he wanted a hot dog and told a female band player she was a “c***,” according to a post on Tom Melton’s NFL Draft Blog.
unaware of the comments until after the pre-game show ended and band members were talking about the incident. He also said the band has not encountered verbal attacks as “intimidating” or as “personal” as this one before. “You get a lot of ‘We’re going to beat the Badgers’ [or] ‘Look out Wisconsin, our team is going to beat you,’ and you get booed when you go to perform, but
that’s part of the game,” Leckrone said. “This was of a more personal nature.” Marching band members did not respond to Raiola’s comments, as they were preparing to play the national anthem, Leckrone said. “I think [the comments] tripped players up a bit because they really didn’t expect it but to their credit they focused on the task as hand and completed it,” Leckrone said. In a joint statement with Leckrone, Dean of Students Lori Berquam said special opportunities such as playing at a Packers game are a highlight for the band and added she was proud the band members brought the matter to the university’s attention while providing a great experience for the fans at Lambeau. Looking forward, Leckrone said the band has to move past the incident and prepare for the homecoming game.

A game may just seem like that to a passerby, however when you sit down in the driver’s seat and feel for yourself what it is like, you understand. Then you get it, why people like me are so into video games. Why there are conventions, award shows, websites and studios that do this for a living. I spend money on these things and write about it.

appreciate what the people behind the game are trying to do. They all have an idea, and a game is the best way to make it happen. That may sound confusing to someone who has never tried them, but you’ll understand all of that as soon as you sit down and put yourself in control. Games are just like people, every one has a story to tell, some good, some bad, but you can only tell if you sit down and give it a try. —Matt Tarman is a video game reviewer for The Mirror.

Student debt is the villain in short horror film BOSTON — Now that graduation has arrived, students around the country are about to be hit with their student loans for the by American Student Assistance™ (ASA) just launched to help students and recent graduates manage these loans. Through a short, psy“The Red” spins a story about the anxieties of being in debt and the relief that comes from facing them. The Red is part of a multimedia campaign created by ad agency SS+K to compel and empower young people to take control of their debt on a practical, day-to-day level. The Red also introduces resource created by ASA™ to help students and graduates better manage their loans and enter the real

Nearing a trillion dollars, student debt affects nearly 15 million Americans under the age of 30. Few students and recent graduates even know what they owe – and they aren’t actively seeking advice on what to do about it. “It isn’t easy to get young people who feel panicked about their debts to do something about it,” said Sue Burton from ASA. “To connect meaningfully with them, we produced something very entertaining that acknowledges how frightening it can be, yet portrays their own power and offers a path out of the nightmare.” In “The Red,” which
premiered in theaters across the country and launched nationally online at FaceTheRed.com, a 20-something girl is terrorized by ominous red smoke. The smoke follows her at every turn, mirroring the of a post-college world. No matter how hard she tries, she realizes that there’s no avoiding The Red. The only option is to face it. “The Red” was directed by the Borderline Films trio of Antonio Campos, Sean Durkin and Josh Mond — the critically acthe thrillers “Martha Marcy May Marlene” and “Simon Killer.” mounting student debts and the paralyzing fear that it can create. “We know exactly how scary it is to owe a ton
of money for school and have no clue how to pay it back,” said Campos. “This is a story we related to. The feeling of ‘The Red’ made sense. And we embraced the opportunity to work on this project.” “The Red” premiered in Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Tampa and Washington, D.C. – focusing on cities with a large student population and high percentage of young people with student debt. focus of the campaign is to bring information and resources to students and recent grads through platforms and mediums that they already consume and trust. The campaign includes multiple content partnerships with millennial-focused media outlets like The Onion, BuzzFeed, College Humor and MTV.
