A successful run for the UNC wrestling squad began early and continued throughout all of Saturday during the annual Old Chicago Open at ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion. The Old Chicago Open hosts a number of school, almost all of them smaller than the University of Northern Colorado. Seeing as the schools and wrestling squads are
smaller, the event gives the Bears the chance to build wins and allows portunity to compete in the season. “I thought we wrestled well,” head coach Ben nitely expect us to have this kind of showing, and that’s why this is a fun weekend for us.

UNC volleyball’s three-match winning streak came to a screeching halt Saturday night at Portland State as the Vikings (18-10, 15-3 Big Sky) took down the University of Northern Colorado (12-16, 8-10) in straight sets by scores of 25-19, 25-19 and 25-23. Junior middle blocker Bri Strong led the Bears with 14 kills on .476 hitting percentage. No other UNC player reached double digits in kills. Only senior libero Merideth Johnson (14) and sophomore outside hitter Kendra Cunningham (10) surpassed the double-digit barrier in digs Saturday. As a team, UNC hit just .170 compared to PSU’s .244. Portland State senior outside hitter Kaeli Patton racked up 19 assists in the three sets on .500 hitting with just two attack errors. With the loss and a Sacramento State win over Weber State Saturday, the Bears move back into seventh place in the Big Sky, one spot out of the conference championship tournament with two matches left in the conference season.

The Mirror Poll:
Editor-in-chief: Steven Josephson
THE MIRROR editor@uncmirror.com In the last year, advocates of marijuana reform have had ample reason to celebrate. The prospects of increased tax revenue, decreased spending on enforcement and incarceration and depleting criminal activity have warmed a considerable portion of the population to the idea of legalizing recreational marijuana. I appreciate the legislative reforms that have legalized or decriminalized marijuana in some form in 21 states across the United States. Still, I believe the greatest appeal of cannabis lies not in its psychoactive effects, but rather in its cultivation for biofuels, textiles, food products and many other

consumer goods. As the discourse on marijuana reform moves forward and gains prominence on the national stage, I encourage advocates and opponents alike to consider the multi-faceted nature of this issue The appeal of cannabis extends far beyond the bong, and as such, we should not limit the dialogue around its regulation to its consumption as a psychoactive substance. Industrial hemp thrived as a leading cash crop in America until the 20th century. The end of the golden age of industrial hemp cultivation began with the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, and despite a brief resurgence fueled by government sub-
sidies during World War II, industrial hemp production essentially ceased in America by the 1950s. Recently, the U.S. House of Representatives approved an amendment to House Resolution 1947, which allows for the cultivation of industrial hemp at colleges and universities in states where it is already legal without fear of federal interference. The cultivation of industrial hemp at colleges and universities will allow for important research on the use of cannabis in textiles, building materials, food and biofuels. On Nov. 6, Colorado posed framework for the regulation of industrial hemp in the state. The regulation will require
farmers to pay a $200 annual fee with an additional $1 for every acre of hemp planted. Commissioners in the Colorado Department of Agriculture must now approve the regulations. It is unlikely the federal government will interfere with the development of the industrial hemp industry in Colorado, but hemp itself is still a schedule one substance and no federal bill has yet been approved decriminalizing hemp production on a broad scale. The U.S. Senate is currently sitting on the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2013, which would exclude industrial hemp from Essentially, hemp would no longer be coupled with marijuana as a controlled substance and
accordingly be subject to separate regulation. The bill requires farmers to grow industrial hemp in accordance with state law and to maintain THC levels in their crop not exceeding 0.3 percent. The Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2013 is compelling legislation with great bipartisan support—a democratic sponsor with two republican sponsors and an independent. Regardless of their preference for pot, I encourage all people to research the and to support legislation that allows for the cultivation of hemp.

Tattoos shouldn’t be viewed as just for the immature and rebellious According to Alexandria By Alexandria Adair Vasquez
I was reading through a very old issue of Vogue Magazine the other day, and I came across a feature on Diablo Cody. In it, the stripper-turnedscreenwriter jokes that she is “clinging to her youth” and uses a tattoo she has as an example of this inability to grow up. That tattoo was of a cookie, so I don’t think it was the author’s intention to imply anything here, but it got me to thinking about the way people view tattoos and piercings as some kind of rebellion reserved only for youth.
What’s that all about? I guess I don’t know what percentage of people get tattoos in their early 20s versus their early 40s, but I kind of resent the idea that only the young and foolish would have the nerve to permanently modify their bodies. The idea that, if you are a 30-something looking for a job in the professional world, you had better not have any visible tattoos or piercings if you want to be taken seriously. I’ve been told, as well, that it goes double for me because I’m a woman. But what bearing does my have on my ability to carry out a job? I know I was raised with the mentality of an achiever, whether or not I have a small tattoo on my wrist or a piercing that goes through my septum.
That my exterior is received as being disruptive does not suddenly make me unworthy of being taken seriously as a professional and productive member of society. The kinds of people who are attracted to tattoos and piercings are not limited to just vagabonds and kids in high school on a quest to piss off their moms and teachers. They tend to be the kinds of people who are also very interested in other modes of personal expression. They are our writers, our poets, our artists, our musicians and our fashion-oriented friends. They are those souls who make it their daily mission to dive deep into themselves and emerge with understanding. They are few and far between, and ultimately, I think this is what is behind the way people
tend to recoil from those of us who decide we want to pay to be pricked with needles on our faces or sit still for hours at a time as ornate decorations are carved into our skin. In a world that promotes conformity, it takes a certain amount of self-assuredness to decide you know you want to change the way your body looks for the rest of your life. I think that kind of assertiveness of the self—of knowing exactly who you are and not being ashamed that “who you are” isn’t mainstream—is something that engenders anxiety and sometimes anger in others. —Alexandria Adair Vasquez is a senior Journalism-news editorial major and a news writer for the Mirror.

Feminism for the masses
Brennen Karl
news@uncmirror.com
The concept of women’s issues as human issues was the driving force of the 4th Annual Women’s Conference at UNC Thursday. Every year the theme of the conference changes. This year’s theme was, “Feminism is for everybody: join a movement to end sexist oppression.” “If you care about human rights, you should care about women’s rights,” said keynote speaker Carlos Andres Gomez. “Feminism is advocating for human rights.” Four years ago, UNC’s Student Senate granted additional funds to allow a Women’s Conference. The conference began as a way to bring students, faculty and staff together in a medium that would support discussion about issues that impact women today. The conference has expanded in size and depth over the last four years. “Our organizing committee has brought forth amazing and inspiring ideas that have allowed for each conference to improve every year,” said Yvette Lucero-Nguyen, director of the Women’s Resource Center and Stryker Institute for Leadership Development. Gomez, an award-winning poet and performer, star of HBO’s “Def Poetry Jam” and author of coming- of-age memoir “Man Up,” discussed what he thinks it means to be a man, and what it could or should mean. Gomez had previously performed at last month’s “Take Back the Night against Women Oppression” at UNC’s Garden Theatre. He was asked to speaker for the Women’s Conference. Gomez’s interest in the conference sprouts from his childhood. He said he felt

The women’s movement has allowed women to hold positions of power in business, religion, and government, but there are still ways in which women have inequality.

tive rights. Event attendees expressed their approval for the guest speakers and the topics discussed. “(The conference) reiterated how important feminism is and that it really is for everyone,” said Freshman acting major Katie Hamilton. “A lot of people are afraid of feminism because they don’t really understand what it is. Really it’s just wanting equality for everyone. So why wouldn’t you want to be a feminist?

He described how women draped in shawls would dance around the drum. The dances were grand social events. They would often start at 8 p.m. and end at 5 a.m. “We are fortunate to have these songs,” he said. “We’re trying to carry it on. A lot of people don’t understand the songs and dances. But there’s a lot of power in them, so it’s important to have respect. Be respectful of other ways and nationalities. Don’t forget your culture.” Before the event ended, one of the drummers performed Pawnee and Ponca prayer songs as a blessing onto Kohl House and everyone in attendance. “Thanksgiving should be every day, not just on

Board discusses on state funding, calls for innovation Alexander Armani-Munn news@uncmirror.com
The UNC Board of Trustees met Friday to discuss the “Innovation@ UNC” initiative and promising new numbers regarding both state funding and student enrollment. University of Northern Colorado Provost Robbyn Wacker provided an overview of the Innovation@ UNC initiative, which UNC President Kay Norstate of the university address in September. The initiative promises to spend $1 million over two years on innovative projects that promote the “fundamental tenets of teaching and learning” valued by the university. The initiative seeks
project proposals in four areas of concentration: new programs, new learners, new pedagogies and student success. Faculty, staff and students at UNC are all welcome to submit project proposals by writing a two-page concept paper outlining their idea and submitting it electronically at www.unco.edu/innovation. Concept papers are due Jan. 31. Following the deadline, campus comment teams and consultants will provide feedback to the proposal review team before the team selects the winning proposals on Feb. 28. The selected applicants will then have until April 4 to fully develop their proposals. The review team
the funded proposals on April 28. The initiative comes at a time when the university seeks to do more with less, particularly in terms of providing adequate services to more students for less money. However, the university may be getting a much-needed boost in state funding if the joint budget committee approves the 2014-2015 state budget proposed by Governor John Hickenlooper. President Norton briefed the board on the details of Hickenlooper’s proposed 2014-2015 budget. The budget calls for $100 million in additional funding for public higher education institutions in Colorado. Of the $100 million,
$40 million will go towards supplementing financial aid programs and Denise “Dee” $60 milSt. Cyr lion will go towards supporting the operational costs of Colorado universities. The board anticipates that the budget would add $3.7 million to the university’s operating budget. The increase would restore the university to 1999 funding levels. Provost Wacker and Vice President of Finance and Administration Michelle Quinn provided more good news for the board when they conducted
a review of the university’s enrollment following the The report indicates that the university has actually classes with the number of initially enrolled students growing from 11,865 on to 12,084 as of census day on Sept. 9. Despite slight growth this fall, the university remains three percent below enrollment as of fall 2012. A quarter of the student body is now comprised of minority identifying students and 36 percent of UNC undergraduate stufamily to attend college. The university is also attracting more international students. The university experi-
enced a 6 percent increase in international enrollment at the undergraduate level and a 23 percent increase in international students enrolling in the graduate school. At the conclusion of the meeting, the board passed a resolution to recognize the work of board member Denise “Dee” St. Cyr. St. Cyr’s four-year term on the board of trustees ends Dec. 31.

The sound of a lone guitar and a solo voice echoed off the canvas covered walls, as listeners sipped warm coffee and tea. An open mic night hosted by John Galt Coffee in Greeley on Friday evening where guests could gather, listen or perform. It was the fall season. Open mic nights will be at John Galt Coffee Company’s Atlas Theater (709 16th Street) on the third Friday of each month. The event is free and open to all ages. Performers can sing, play an instrument or both. The type of instrument is unrestricted, and Atlas will provide a piano, drum set and several other in-
struments. All of Friday’s performers played original works on the guitar. “The music is very calming and soothing. It allows for me to get away from the crazy week. It brings the forest in Estes Park to mind,” said patron Kirk Pieper of Loveland. Many of the attendees found the event to be a great family gathering center, and a wonderful place to bring friends. Some audience members brought their children, who danced in front of the crowd as music played. A three or four year old boy politely asked a musician to sing another song, even after his session had ended. A large smile spread across the boy’s youthful face when the music started once again. “I obtain my inspiration
everywhere,” said Joe Lee Parker, who performed for the event. “I am inspired by other musicians, such as The Beatles. I like to think of it as a gift.” Some attended to support the performers or join a friend for an interesting outing. Some cited an interest in community art as an impetus to come out for the event. “As an artist, I like to support the arts,” said Sandy Pieper, a resident of Loveland. “I am new to the Greeley area and I enjoy seeing what new events are out there.” The event had attracted artists, musicians, and those who have a passion for music. Many believed it allowed for a great place to unwind and leave all worries in the past out of sight.

The clock is ticking until the 50th anniversary special of the hit BBC show “Doctor Who” premieres Saturday after a seven-month hiatus. The anniversary episode will double as the show’s eighth series (British TV lingo for season) premiere. Amanda Kruger, a freshman business major at the University of Northern Colorado, is one of many Bears excited for the return of the last of Time Lords. “I’m looking forward to seeing the 10th and 11th Doctors interact, as well as just the excitement of this being the 50th anniversary, which is super exciting cause shows never last that long,” Kruger said. countdown, BBC released “The Night of the Doctor,” a mini-sode prequel to the 50th anniversary special, “The Day of the Doctor.” This six minute video generated massive amounts of feedback from fans. “I loved ‘The Night of the Doctor,’” sophomore history education major Nicolette VanDelinder
at the intense character development of the eighth Doctor, not to mention they dio companions canon by bringing them on screen.” With John Hurt joining the cast of “Doctor Who” at the end of series seven, many fans have been wondering who his Doctor could possibly be. “The Night of the Doctor” shed a bit more light on the mystery of the new Doctor, dubbed the “War Doctor.” “I’m interested to see how it’ll play out considering that in the mini-sode he looked much younger (than at the end of the last season),” VanDelinder said. “And Time Lords don’t age properly.” Steven Moffat, lead writer of “Doctor Who,” told BBC media relations that John Hurt’s Doctor will not count towards the other twelve. “I’ve been really, really quite careful about the numbering of the Doctors,” Moffat told BBC America’s Fraser McApline. John Hurt Doctor, that he doesn’t take the name of the Doctor. He doesn’t call himself that. He’s the same Time Lord, the same be-
ing as the Doctors either side of him, but he’s the one who says, ‘I’m not the Doctor.’” Since the release of that interview in early fall, Moffat has not given Whovians any more direct clariMoffat has even admitted that he wants to keep everything ‘under wraps’ until the special goes live next Saturday. In order to keep spoilers at a minimum, the BBC will be playing “The Day of the Doctor” at the same time worldwide. UNC students do not receive BBC America in the residence halls, but that isn’t going to keep the dedicated Whovians that live on campus from watching. The Kress Cinema and Lounge (817 8th Avenue) will be showing “The Day of the Doctor” live at 1 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $7. The Nerd Store (807 8th Street) will host an after party in conjunction with the showing. “The Day of the Doctor” will also be shown in 3D at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 25, at the Cinemark in the Greeley Mall.

Bears junior goalie Nate Chomyn came in cold and was beaten on all three goals. While the penalty kill was unable to keep up with the Pioneers’ power play unit, UNC senior defenseman Brandon Pougnet did score twice with the extra man. Pougnet said he was simply completing the task assigned to the point man
on the power play. “The main job as a defenseman is to get the puck through,” he said. “I had some good screens in front of the net and I was able to get it through.” The teams entered the third period tied at four, but the Pioneers’ offensive outproved too much for the Bears.

Like Spence, Lee’s goals for the season are focused on the team’s success. “Basically this year I’m just going to do what I can to help the team win in any way possible: scoring points, rebounds. It doesn’t really matter,” Lee said. The season has started well for the Bears with a road upset and a strong home opener but the team is staying focused on the future and working harder to retain the winning streak it has created. “It’s worked out so far. With the changes that they’ve made, I think we have a tougher team, both mentally and physically,” Hill said. “I think we’ve got a team that’s more defensive-oriented, which is
what we needed. “But we still have guys that can do some things on the offensive end that we haven’t had in the past. It’s easy to say now that we’re 2-0 and after a big win like we had to start the year that everything’s worked out but there’s still a long way before that gets determined.”
Lee and Spence possess the versatility mentioned by Hill and their comfort level with Davidson should help the former Thunderbirds adjust to their new roles as Bears. Through two games, it appears that transition has been smooth, but the test will continue through the rest of the season.
