Bears win fourth straight at home By Chris Bolin sports@uncmirror.com
Inside the Bank of Colorado Arena Saturday afternoon, the UNC women’s basketball team scored early and often. The team got an early 8-2 lead and never looked back, defeating Northern Arizona 79-55. This game marked the fourth straight home victory for the Bears (9-9) and pushed their record in the Big Sky to 4-4. “I was really pleased with the growth and direction this team is going,” head coach Kamie Ethridge said. “I have been feeling good about the direction of this team and they continue to show it.” Though two other Bears lead the team in scoring, the real star of the day was redshirt freshman Savannah Scott. Scott netted a triple double, dishing out 10 assists, scoring eight points, pulling down 10 rebounds and still managing to get four steals. “Everyone was hitting shots, so I thought to just
keep feeding them and keep moving the ball to get my teammates open shots,” Scott said. Ethridge commented on Scott’s success this season. “She plays bigger than her size and makes all those hustle plays for us,” she said. “The exciting thing about her is she has come so far from our spring meeting when I was hard on her and told her she had to change a lot of her game. I give her credit taking it to heart and working on her game all summer and continuing to this year. She prides herself in making all of those hustle plays and doesn’t have to always score.” The two ladies that lead the team in scoring were Savannah Smith and Kourtney Zadina. Smith followed up a career-best effort of 20 points from Thursday with 18 more Saturday, including the first 11 points scored of the second quarter. To go along with those 18 points, she also pulled down four rebounds and dished out three assists. Continued: Women’s Basketball, page 7.

The University Center’s newest addition to its dining services family is a neat blend of chic bistro and cozy coffee shop, steeped in a healthy dose of Bear Pride. The sleek, yet homey layout of Bears Mo’Jo Coffee Co. has been created for and catered specifically to UNC. “It’s in-house,” Retail Dining Manager James Medina said. “The design, the menu. Everything has been hand-picked with the students in mind.” Some of the staff of the new coffee shop said its appeal is in its dedication to UNC students. “It’s kind of cool,” supervisor Kait Raub said. “It’s our own little creation.” She also said business has been booming ever since the coffee stop opened at the beginning of spring semester. “Everyone seems to like it a lot better than Starbucks,” Raub said, referring to the comments wall placed outside of the shop. Coffee Corner, the pre-existing UNC café, and Bears Mo’Jo Coffee Co. have a few things in common, and a few things they differ in. In terms of beverage, the two are relatively similar. They each carry the basics: coffee, lattes, mochas and hot chocolate. In most cases, Mo’Jo’s is the pricier store, and the most dramatic price difference is $1.25 for a large hot chocolate. Aside from an array of mochas such as the “Polar Bear,” a typical white mocha, and the “Panda Bear,” a white mocha and mocha twist, Mo’Jo’s also offers Cocoa de Abuelas, which a spicier twist on the regular hot chocolate served at the Coffee Corner. “This is a new coffee that we’ve never had before,” Medina said. From caramel macchiatos to matcha green teas, Mo’Jo’s offers a delightfully refreshing and up-to-date version of Coffee Corner that some students seem to be enjoying. But there is one thing holding Mo’Jo’s back from winning over everyone’s hearts and dining dollars— the café’s lack of food. The store sells cinnamon rolls, smoothies and cake pops, but it has no lunch options. There is nothing Mo’Jo’s offers that is more than 300 calories, while the Coffee Corner does offer bigger meals. Both venues serve their drinks in eco-friendly travel cups and fill their staffs with student employees who have the opportunities to turn their barista jobs into a work study. For now, Medina said he isn’t sure if Mo’Jo’s will one day replace Coffee Corner, or any other dining service for that matter. “The thought process is for it to be its own identity,” he said.

Board considers money, diversity at meeting @UNCMIRROR FOLLOW FOR MORE UNC NEWS
By Will Costello news@uncmirror.com
The UNC Board of Trustees met Friday, with the notable topics of conversation being the listening sessions held by President Kay Norton, an overview of the 2015 financial report and an announcement stating the university would begin searching for a buyer for its University Apartments complex. The University Apartments, which provide housing primarily for graduate and international students as well as students with families, was recommended for sale due to high maintenance costs and lack of debt on the property. President Norton spoke briefly on the plans to continue funding the Campus Commons project, which
include both state money and private fundraising. UNC is one-third of the way to its private fundraising goal, after four months of fundraising. Norton also discussed the seven listening sessions she held last semester, each of which had between 40– 70 attendees. According to Norton, the sessions were intended to allow students, faculty and staff discuss how to make UNC a more equitable, inclusive and supportive campus. “It was a very informative, and sometimes quite intense experience,” President Norton said. She said she plans to address some of the problems that were brought up in listening sessions. Student Senate, represented by Student Trustee Brandon Miller, also said it plans to address problems with diversity on campus, and has considered creating an equity and diversity office, according to a report given by Miller to the Trustees. President Norton said
issues regarding diversity and inclusion brought up at her listening sessions echoed the ones that Miller and his organization hoped to confront. Chief Financial Officer Michelle Quinn gave a brief overview of the 2015 Financial Report to the Board, although no changes had taken place since the Board last discussed the financial situation of the university at their Finance and Audit Committee meeting in October. Total operating for the university during fiscal year 2015 was about $203 million, 65 percent of which came from students. The largest portion of this revenue was tuition and fees, although room and board payments and smaller revenue sources such as parking payments and library fines were also factored in. The university also received $37 million, or 18 percent of its 2015 revenue, from the state of Colorado.
University Apartments for sale By Will Costello news@uncmirror.com
Last Friday, the Board of Trustees announced UNC will begin looking for a buyer for its University Apartments complex. The University Apartments, along with an empty lot at the northwest corner of 17th Avenue and 25th Street, were identified as two parcels of debtfree university owned property whose sales would be explored in coming months. “It is my recommendation—our recommendation— that we explore the sale of these two properties in order to re-deploy those assets, the proceeds of the sale, into our university priorities as we’ve identified,” President Kay Norton said at the meeting Friday morning. As of now, no buyer has been found for the property, and Friday’s announcement was simply the recommendation that UNC begin the process of selling the two parcels of land.
President Norton said the university had not yet decided what sort of bidding or auction process would be appropriate for the sale. The apartments, which are located three blocks east of central campus, consist of 98 units of two-bedroom apartments, and are primarily home to residents who need living arrangements that aren’t provided in the typical residence hall format, such as graduate students, international students and students with families. The complex’s buildings, which are among the oldest structures the university owns, have high maintenance costs and no debt—two factors that led to the decision to offer the property for sale. “We really believe that, again, strategically, as we’re looking at our enrollment goals going forward to grow international enrollment in particular, it makes a lot more sense for us to be able to offer flexible university housing for international students and graduate students closer to the main part of the
SUMMER JOB
campus at the Arlington Park facility, which we, of course, also own, is much newer and has significant debt on it,” Norton said. A sizable group of officials from the Housing and Residential Education department were present at the meeting to hear the announcement. Jenni Brundage, the assistant director of apartment life for housing and residential education, said that she doesn’t know what the demand among UNC students for apartmentstyle living is. “I can tell you it’s increasing,” she said.
Tobias Guzman, vice president of enrollment management and student affairs, emphasized Friday’s decision by the Office of the President was to put the idea out to the public, and that most of the details of the process have not yet been decided on. Guzman, whose department handles a variety of student services including Housing and Residential Education, said the university wants to do what’s best for the apartments’ current tenants, and they do not expect to have a shortage of housing opportunities for students who need
the special accommodations that the University Apartments provide. Strategies for doing so could include working with the community to find transitional housing, or lowering the cost of the Arlington Park apartments and Lawrenson Hall—two facilities that offer styles of living that could accommodate international students, graduate students or students with families, according to Guzman. “We are 100 percent dedicated to a smooth and successful transition for students,” he said.

Norton responds to Campus Climate UNC Arts
By Trevor Reid
arts@uncmirror.com
On Jan. 14, UNC President Kay Norton responded to the concerns and frustrations of students who attended her listening sessions held at the end of the fall semester. Now, halfway through her 13th year as president, Norton said she processed the information brought up at the listening sessions with her staff. “We identified some themes that had arisen, and then crafted the memo to summarize the actions we were going to take,” she said in an interview. In the response, Norton tackled a wide array of issues students voiced. Two meditation rooms, to be located in the Student Activities office, will be available to students and employees mid-semester. By fall, students will be able to add their chosen names to their student records, addressing concerns by trans students who were outed at the beginning of each semester by outdated policies. UNC is to issue a request for proposals for expanded hair salon services, in the hopes of a salon that serves all students by July 1. In response to the unpaved road at the César Chávez Cultural Center, the

voiced the concept at a listening session. Students were able to set up 15-minute, one-on-one appointments with Norton in order to continue building understanding for both students and the workings of the university. Norton was available for an hour and a half, leaving four students able to meet with her on the Wednesday afternoon she was available. Five others who wanted to speak with her were unable to make the time frame. Liska said they hope more students will make use of these office hours. “I think if enough students come in with the same thing, maybe Kay Norton will get the idea that this is actually stuff that matters,” Liska said. With pressure on students to bring different issues to light, Palma expressed his concern about the limited availability of the office hours. “I think having only six slots limits the amount of students and diversity of students that actually get to meet and speak with her,” he said. Norton said the office hours were just the beginning. “We wanted to see how [the office hours] worked out,” she said. “It was very popular, so we’ll be doing more.” The next date students will be able to meet with President Norton is Feb. 9.

capital request will be reviewed. Students also raised concerns about a lack of diversity at UNC. “I agree,” Norton responded in an email sent out across campus. “Our students, faculty and staff should reflect the changing demographics of the world in which we live.” UNC will look at the support provided to current faculty and students, as well as hiring and recruitment efforts, to begin addressing this issue. While the response sounds hopeful, some students expressed uncertainty about Norton’s ability to sincerely follow through with these promises. “They were direct as far as their intentions with going forward,” said Dario Palma, a junior business management major. “But at the same time, I feel like it’s going to be your professional, politically correct answer.” Shiloh Liska, a senior communication studies major who does not conform to the gender binary, expressed similar doubts. “Knowing how Kay Norton has acted in the past, in promising things and not delivering on them, made me second-guess what she was promising us,” Liska said. In an attempt to end those doubts, Palma and Liska both attended office hours Norton held, after a student

delicate task set before the director, J.J. Abrams, was “to tap into that specific pleasure of Star Wars mythology that the earlier generation had and recreate it for the new generation.” The new film sparked an entire cultural experience. Students were surprised to find Star Wars clothing that incorporated the school logo at the University of Northern Colorado Bookstore and Fan Shop. Follett Higher Education Group, which operates the bookstore, sent the products to the UNC bookstore and other bookstores across the nation. Though the bookstore products aren’t unique, UNC does have a tie to the franchise thanks to alumnus Adam Wilson. Co-founder of Orbotix, Wilson helped create a toy version of the new character BB-8. Orbotix first came out with a toy called Sphero in 2010, which was a small, ball-shaped robot controlled by smartphone or tablet. Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger showed production photos of BB-8 to the company, and Wilson became part of the three-person team
to create the new toy. It is already the number one “best seller” in the “Remote Controlled & Robotic Toys” section on Amazon. Products aside, the cultural experience of “Star Wars” struck a note with the UNC community. Shadae Mallory, a junior majoring in English and theatre studies, commented on her love for the series. “This was the first time I was able to see a ‘Star Wars’ film in theaters,” she said. “I totally cried when the main theme started playing.” “The Force Awakens” also showed an awareness of the culture it came out in with a diverse cast of protagonists. “I think that’s pretty exciting because it’s bringing new equality concepts to pop culture,” said Kelly Conn, a freshman nursing major, about the diverse cast. No matter what new characters might bring to the table, Chan said he thinks it may be impossible for new films to fill the shoes of the original. “‘A New Hope’ is such a phenomenon that no new film will

ever live up to it,” he said. “Any film that comes after it, people will attempt to measure it to the original trilogy.” For Mallory, the universe of Star Wars is the series’ most unique aspect. “The characters and atmosphere that George Lucas created is the entire essence of the franchise,” she said. “As long as there’s adventure, storm troopers and no sign of Jar-Jar Binks—it’s fine by me.” The next installation in the series is set to be released Dec. 15, 2017.

The University of Northern Colorado’s cheerleading team members have been spending their days back from winter break preparing for their national competition. Nationals will be in April in Daytona Beach, Florida. With signs and t-shirts ready to hype up the Northern Colorado student section, the cheer team has always provided a spark for its sports’ home games. The Bank of Colorado Arena is the stomping ground of UNC athletics, and over the last two years, the Bears have gone 45-29 at home. That score includes the combination of wins and losses from wrestling, volleyball and men’s and women’s basketball. Undoubtedly, the most dedicated fans of each game have been the Bears’ cheerleaders, who have nearly perfect attendance. But besides cheering on the student-athletes, the cheer team has been practicing for its own competition. The women on the team are spending their early mornings practicing and doing full-out routines—something a UNC student never gets to see at the games. “This year’s team is very competition-oriented and driven,” team member Vinny Wilson said. “We know the teams that we are competing against are hitting eight full-outs a week, so we plan on hitting 10 each week.” A full-out routine for cheerleading consists of tumbling, stunts, dance and other motions. Wilson also said the team hopes to continue having success at the national level. Last year the team came home from Nationals with a 14th place trophy, and now they look Alex Nunely | The Mirror forward to keep progressing as a team.

On Saturday night against NAU, the Bears were again led by Wilson as he scored 20 for a matchup against North Dakota at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Bank of Colorado Arena.
Wrestling
The UNC wrestling team fell to North Dakota State 29-13 on Jan. 17, but was able to rebound with a 22-19 win over Cal Poly on Friday evening, winning six of the 10 matches. Redshirt senior Trent Noon carried the Bears back into the match with a 10-1 win over Cal Poly’s J.T. Goodwin in the 197-pound weight class. Brian Macchione, in the heavy-weight class, wrestled in his second match of the year and scored a 6-3 decision to break UNC’s three-duel losing streak. The Bears travel Friday to Boise, Idaho for a duel against Boise State.

For Zadina, Saturday was the game where she finally broke out of her shooting slump, also pitching in 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting. “It felt better shooting this game for me, but also as a team, too,” Zadina said. “I didn’t feel like I was rushing my shot any and just as a team we were playing really well together.” The final Bear to score in double digits was
