THE MIRROR editor@uncmirror.com Women of UNC: You need to know your place.

You need to be disciplined and controlled.

You shouldn’t vote. You shouldn’t leave the kitchen. And for some reason, you shouldn’t box.

Google Autocomplete starred in an ad campaign launched by United Nations Women last week.

Well-lit faces of a diverse selection of women against dark backdrops set the tone for each ad. Each woman’s mouth was covered by a with the prompts: “women should,” “women cannot,” “women need to” and “women shouldn’t.”

Autocomplete took it sexist thoughts of web

Thoughts from the editorial staff of The Mirror

Widespread sexism revealed in ad campaign warrants global action

searchers worldwide. The result is a shocking display of misogynistic attitudes, from the assertion that women cannot be trusted, to the outright denial of women’s rights as a concept. Symbolically, the campaign shows the collective silencing of women’s voices by backwards ideas that exist globally.

Google Autocomplete uses actual Google searches to populate the suggestions that pop up as you formulate your search. Search term popularity, your location and your search history all play a role in selecting what Google contributes to complete your search.

When I type “women shouldn’t” into a Google

search bar, Autocomplete continues the sentence with: “vote,” “work,” “be in combat” and “be cops.”

What this ad campaign does brilliantly is draw attention to sexism in a way that literally speaks for itself. Socially untoward suggestions obtaining a top spot in the world’s most-used search engine does not point to an isolated incident. We can’t know what drives that kind the curiosity to see what’s dom. It seems more likely, though, that Googling a full phrase indicates searching for a community of like-minded individuals to provide social validation. What is certain is that

each other in communities dedicated to championing modern sexism. All they have to do is Google it.

The global aspect of this campaign may cause some to disassociate from sexism, considering it faraway and irrelevant. In this case, global equality and solidarity are what matters. The Internet, as a bastion of free speech, connects sexists via Google search, but also makes the world smaller and increasingly more interconnected.

It shouldn’t matter where people are spouting sexism from.

I may have it nice in Colorado since all I “need to” do is “shut up,” but I can’t in good conscious

laugh it off knowing that somewhere “women need to be put in their place.”

My small victory does not overshadow the devastating losses playing out for women all over the world. Shock and lament are the go-to emotional responses to an ad campaign that sought to illustrate widespread sexism in 2013 and nailed it. UN Women’s campaign shows us that no matter how far we’ve come, there’s still a long way to go until true and total gender equality is reached.

Misperception of feminist vocabulary a detriment to progress Staff Column

By Alexandria Vasquez

I’m just going to come out and say it…I’m a feminist.

That’s right, folks, I am your worst nightmare.

I may not have ever burned a bra in protest, but I am the type of woman who isn’t afraid to publicly shame a man for honking at me as I’m walking to class.

I’m also the type to then write a 500-word blog post about it and use the tags feminism, patriarchy and misogyny. I care about women, and I’m not sure when that became such a criminal offense.

I don’t know how many times I have been in the middle of a

friendly conversation at a party or a bar, only to have to have it come to a complete halt.

The otherwise agreeable person I’m speaking to will completely turn on me as soon as I utter the word feminist, patriarchy or misogyny. It’s as if I’ve suddenly sprouted a third, viciously annoying head that needs to be put in its place.

I’ve found that when I use a word like patriarchy, it seems to conjure up this image of a bunch of men sitting around at a He-Man Woman Haters Club meeting discussing how to keep women down.

But hello? That’s not what I mean, and this isn’t “The Little Rascals.” That’s not what anyone means when they use a word that encompasses all of the different ways in which women are made to be second-class citizens in this society.

It’s a word that helps to explain why it seems like every in-

ing to cooking, is traditionally male-dominated.

It’s also a word that, no matter the context, makes it OK for people to ignore what you’re saying and write your words off as yet another bitter rant.

I know that before I identifrom using the so-called F-word because I didn’t want people to think of me as a shrieking harpy who never shuts up about women’s rights.

I was still in the mindset that things like feminism and patriarchy were for angry, academic women.

Here’s the thing: feminism is for everyone. Feminism is the idea that we should be treated equally regardless of gender, that our bodies are our own and that men are just as hurt by patriarchy as women are.

I’m not exactly sure where this demonized view of feminists

came from, but I do know that it needs to stop.

Whether in thanks to biased media coverage of the women’s liberation movement in the 1960s, or just as a natural reaction to living in a male-dominated society, I think the negativity surrounding feminist vocabulary – words like patriarchy, misogyny, internalized oppression – is only serving to stagnate progress.

It creates a comfortable distance that keeps people from having to examine their own actions and perhaps their own participation in the patriarchy, because only crazy, hyper-emotional women use those kinds of words.

UNC Schulze Speaker Series features soundscape ecologist Jennifer Hazeldine

news@uncmirror.com

“Being outside and hearing that sense of space, changed my life forever,” soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause told his audience Tuesday night at the University Center ballrooms. When Krause mentioned “space,” he was referring to the natural world without the materialistic noise humans often create.

Krause spoke of his inspirational experience with the sounds of nature and shared his explanation of soundscape ecology.

Krause is the founder of Wild Sanctuary, an organization committed to recording and collecting information discovered within soundscapes around the world.

The Wild Sanctuary records sounds found in nature because it allows soundscape ecologists to interpret how sounds are arranged in the natural world and how the organisms are effected by humans.

Krause began a career as a guitarist in the late 1950s and joined a band called “The Weavers.” After the band broke up years later, Krause started a career in ecology, and earned his doctorate in bioacoustics from Union Institute and University in the 1980s. He developed a strong interest in the sounds of nature and decided to closely study these sounds using sound recorders.

Soundscape ecology is the research of a sound within an environment and its impact on living organisms. Soundscape ecology is divided into three groups based on the sounds that are produced.

These groups include, geophony (sounds of the earth), biophony (sounds of organisms) and anthrophony (sounds created by humans).

Krause’s talk focused on biophony.

Throughout the speech, Krause spoke of the different types of sounds produced by organisms.

Debussy, Messiaen and Crumb composed their music by connecting it to nature and seasons. Organisms produce rhythmic sound patterns. Krause referred to nature as being a symphony within itself and encouraged others to listen more carefully.

“If we want to understand nature we need to stop and listen.

If you want the truth, you need to listen to the natural world with your ears, not with your eyes.”

Krause said.

and sea anemones have a voice.

He explained that sounds are organized in niches, with the lowest frequency sounds on the bot-

tom of a spectrogram with the highest on the top.

Krause talked about how famous composers such as Vivaldi,

truth as discovering aspects in nature that are often overlooked or unseen because humans refuse to listen.

Krause provided the audience with personal sound recordings he had collected throughout his lifetime. He played clips of running streams, sparrows, seals, the Spadefoot toad and even the sounds of entire ecosystems, such as that of a wild meadow or a coral reef.

UNC students volunteer to clean up area surrounding campus Tessa Byrns

news@uncmirror.com

On Saturday morning, when most other college students were sleeping in, 215 students from the University of Northern Colorado volunteered to clean up the neighborhoods located near campus.

Activities and the city of Greeley organize a biannual Bears PAY it Forward Neighborhood Cleanup to help bring out people from the community and students from the university.

“It’s about the fourth time that we’ve done this event,” said Deb DeBoutez, neighborhood program specialist for Greeley.

“It’s a great way to bridge the community to university. UNC is a large part of the community and there

are good people who want to help meet neighbors and long-time residents.”

The route for this year’s Bears PAY it Forward was split between various different clean up areas.

Glenmere Park, alleys around campus and specific elderly neighbors’ yards were targeted for clean-up.

“The bird sanctuary and the creek bed of Glenmere Park is the cornerstone and most needed to get cleaned up,” said Jimmy Kohles, the Off-Campus Program Coordinator in the Student fall we had students just do weed abatement. This year we’re going to have students winterize and just trim the trail.”

We’re not too rowdy.”

DeBoutez also thinks that the UNC students are good for the community.

Magic of math takes center stage at Celebration of the Mind

Mind from page 1

named “one of the most in20th century” by MAGIC Magazine.

Gardner popularized and analyzed mathematical games such as Chinese rings, dodgem, dominoes and tic-tac-toe. He also liked to publish annotated versions of major works such as Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of OZ. Gardner passed away at age 95 on May 22, 2010.

“Celebration of the Mind” was developed after Gardner’s death to honor and remember him. Every year the worldwide mathematics festival is held on or around Gardner’s birthday, Oct. 21, with the mission to spread the joy of mathematics while preserving and honoring Gardner’s memory.

The mathematics department at UNC has decided to host the event each year to continue the tradition and honor Gardner.

At the festival, dozens of tables were set up with a different mathematical mind puzzle on each one. Some of the activities included soma cubes, color maps, tangrams, Tower of Hanoi and Penrose tiles. The event appealed to all ages by providing broad levels of activities and challenges.

One table involved bagels and a knife, an activity called “Mobius Bagels.”

The objective of the game was to carefully slice the bagel without tearing it to create two separate interlinked halves. Not everyone succeeded in the task, but a few found it to be quite intriguing and were excited about the upcoming activities.

“Mobius Bagels was pretty interesting when I did it. I struggled a little bit, but I thought it was pretty cool that the bagel has interlocking,” said Patrick Ryan, a visiting senior from Greeley Central High School.

UNC was in contact with groups in Las Vegas, South America, South Africa, Germany and Asia. Each area shared live video footage of the celebration with the others.

Near the close of the celebration, Dr. Levin performed a magic show for the guests. He tied in humor with unique illusions involving acts such as disappearing objects, juggling and card tricks. He even managed to create the illusion of repairing a card that had been torn in half several times.

A great number of the guests who attended the festival left feeling pleased.

Some UNC students even said they felt inspired.

“I loved the festival,” said senior psychology and philosophy major Benjamin Strauber. “I liked it because you get to meet some really cool people who are smart and easy to get along with.

I hope there are a lot more of these events in the future because people might be more inspired to major in math.”

The event allowed some of the guests to observe math from a new perspective. A few of the guests said the celebration did not

change their view of math, but rather compelled them to look at the subject more deeply.

“It hasn’t changed the way I view math,” said freshman chemistry major Richard Charles. “I have always viewed math as something that really is the only thing that is capable of explaining something as complex as reality. When you have a whole bunch of simple rules existing in the same space, then it makes for a lot of really complex things as a direct result of place.

“It’s weird because a lot of what people do on a day to day basis, such as Facebook and television, do not realize that the world is so much more complicated things. The very presence of those detracts from the natural of existing.”

Amendment 66 education reform likely to have diverse affects across the state Jordan Matthews

CU Independent

In November, Coloradans will vote on funding education reform through an income tax increase.

Amendment 66 would raise an excess of $950 million– the money necessary to carry out an act reforming preschool through grade 12 that was passed by the state legislature earlier this year.

Colorado Commits to Kids, an advocacy group for Amendment 66, estimates that the amendment would cost the average Colorado family $133 each year. The funds would be locked in for educational use under Colorado’s new State Education Achievement Fund.

Supporters say that at the top of the list for the tax dollars is reducing class

sizes, providing students more individualized attention and allocating more resources to underfunded areas in schools like special education.

Though they may concede the state education system is underfunded, many Coloradans are hesitant to vote “yes” on another tax hike.

Coloradans for Real Education Reform, a com66, says that the education tax and corresponding act is “bad for our children, for our teachers and for Colorado’s families.”

Though the group agrees Colorado is in need of education reform, members argue that Amendment 66 allocates too much money toward administration and unions, opposed to directly

classrooms. Opponents also say that Amendment 66 is bad for higher education, pass future tax-increases to fund higher education.

Jon Caldara, president of the Denver think tank Independence Institute and a parent, said he will vote “no” on Amendment 66 come November.

“One of my biggest objections as someone who has two kids in the Boulder Valley School District, one of whom is special needs with Down syndrome, is that there is nothing to guarantee that this money is going into classrooms,” Caldara said.

Caldara said that Boulder Valley School District will be one of the “big losers” if Amendment 66 is approved.

“Boulder schools will only get back about 50 cents for every new dollar that Boulder taxpayers would pay,” he said.

Angelika Schroeder, a representative on Colorado’s Board of Education and a supporter of Amendment 66, said that schools would receive funding primarily on need basis, so not every school will receive the same dollar amount.

“There is a piece of this that is about the haves and the have-nots in Colorado, as painful as that is,” Schroeder said.

Although people in wealthy school districts may not agree with that system, Schroeder said approving Amendment 66 is critical for the entire state.

“You don’t want to think about what will happen

if this doesn’t happen,” Schroeder said. “The districts just cannot do more with nothing.”

New Era Colorado has been engaging voters on the phone to provide information on the ballot item.

“We call voters to educate them on Amendment 66, and we will also be doing door knocking, so we go door-to-door to talk to people about Amendment 66,” said Molly Fitzpatrick, New Era’s Boulder organizing director.

CU senior geography major and aspiring high school teacher Crockett Williams, 22, decided to register to vote solely because of Amendment 66.

Williams went to school in New Castle, a small mountain town in Colorado where he said students feel

the impact of a school district scarce with resources.

“I went to a high school that had one textbook for every three kids in most of the departments,” Williams said. ”Not to mention they out of date. If we want successful children or a successful family and even a successful generation after ours, we have to take some responsibility for making our state’s education sysand more inspiring.”

He said he believes that Amendment 66 will allow him as a teacher to be able to reach his students on a more personal level.

For Williams, smaller class sizes is the singlemost important reform that Amendment 66 will work to achieve.

Guest prof speaks on mystery of numbers Sound measures reactions Brennen Karl

news@uncmirror.com

As part of the Department of Mathematical Sciences’ annual “Celebration of the Mind” event on Monday, guest lecturer Thomas Garrity, a professor of mathematics at Williams College, gave a lecture titled “On Mysteries of Numbers” in Ross Hall.

The Celebration of Mind is an annual global event honoring Martin Gardner, a science and math writer who specialized in recreational mathematics and wrote over 100 books. The Celebration of the Mind seeks to advocate a fun and playful approach to math.

Garrity said that his goal in the lecture was to, “introduce an open way of thinking about math”.

Garrity teaches several classes at Williams, including number theory, multivariable calculus, and Fourier analysis.

He is the author of the bestseller

“All the Mathematics You Missed (But Need to Know for Graduate School).”

The main point of his lecture was to show that numbers are still mysterious and that there is still a lot left to learn about math that no one knows.

He proved his point in several ways, including discussing math history and continued fractions.

In his main example he used multi-dimensional continued fractions to demonstrate the Hermite problem, a problem that has yet to be successfully solved.

The Hermite problem is a stillod of representing any real number as a sequence of integers so that the number is a cube root if and only if the sequence is eventually periodic.”

Garrity used triangle partition maps to present how many have attempted to solve the problem, and to explain what the problem really means.

He says he believes that there is not just one answer, or no answer, but rather that a family of answers exists. He continues to attempt to solve the problem.

Garrity used humor in his lecture: utilizing sound effects, quirky voices, and real world examples. Math Professor Ricardo Diaz called the lecture “very energetic and entertaining”.

Garrity encouraged the audience to ask questions so that he could answer and better explain, and he even engaged in complex mathematical debate with a few people.

Jonathan Troupe, a Mathematics Education Major, said “I think [Garrity] was trying to make [math] more approachable . . . to make everything intuitive.”

“It might not be apparent, but I kind of like math,” Garrity said.

Garrity has authored nearly 30 academic papers and taught at several universities throughout the coun-

Schulze from page 5

Several students came away from the presentation with a new perspective on nature.

“It is so neat because it opens up a whole new world that I didn’t even know was there,” senior phycology and biology major Elizabeth Buchholz said after listening to Krause’s recordings. “It’s amazing!

When you are a kid you are full of wonder, and when you listen to these soundscapes it brings that wonder back.”

Krause explained that organisms respond to whatever impacts their environment.

He played a recording of the sounds of the coral reef before and after it was dam-

aged. The healthy coral reef was alive with much more sound than the damaged coral reef.

Krause also played a recording of undisturbed croaking toads and croaking toads with a jet passing by. The undisturbed toads sounded harmonious, while the disturbed toads broke accord.

Many students were surprised to discover how different animals react and communicate using elements such as electric waves.

“I thought that the seals were pretty interesting because seals can pick up on electric waves and respond to it,” said freshman elementary education major, Mykelti Walker.

World-renowned feminist scholar Dr. Heide Goettner-Abendroth came to speak as part of a guest lecture series at 6 p.m. on Wednesday in the Panorama Room of the University Center.

English and Italian.

Despite this notoriety, Lydia Ruyle says it was

Abendroth for lectures.

The University of Northern Colorado and the University of Colorado

at Boulder were the only two campuses to invite Goettner-Abendroth, who is a former professor of philosophy, to speak.

“Personally, I think the term matriarchy is a difcation and in the United States,” Ruyle said.

It may be the terminology and not necessarily the content of GoettnerAbendroth’s lectures that causes such controversy.

Yesterday’s hits to today’s talk: UNC Student Radio has shows for all Shadae Mallory

arts@uncmirror.com

UNC’s Student Radio (UNCSR) is back again with more voices than ever. UNCSR has welcomed over 38 new DJs this semester, and is now hosting over 50 radio shows.

Stepfanie Hodson, UNCSR personnel manager and junior anthropology major at the University of Northern Colorado, encourages people of all interests to join student radio.

“The radio is really fun, because you get to be creative and share your love for music with listeners on air and around campus,” Hodson said. “There are many opportunities to expand your horizons by getting involved with our other departments like news, sports, programming, advertising and promotions. You can also go to concerts for free, which is really cool.”

With so many new shows and DJs this semester, UNCSR has a show for almost everyone. Feel-

ing nostalgic? Tune into Natalie Grapes’ show, “‘90s with Natalie” from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday nights.

Not into ‘90s music? No problem. Freshmen Connor Teagarden and David Munn have a show on Tuesdays from 8 p.m. - 10 p.m. that covers a much broader, and more random sampling of music.

“I’m a big believer in not limiting myself to just one genre,” Munn said. “We played some funny songs, some blues, some trance, some folk and a bunch of cross genre stuff. We literally play just whatever.”

If you are looking for something more intimate, student radio hosts live band sessions. Karlie Huckels, a sophomore and the venue relations manager at UNCSR, organizes all of the live sessions and concerts.

“I really love getting to know the band members individually and their acoustic sets are magical,” Huckels says. “It’s like you are lost in an atmosphere of music and pure bliss. It’s so raw and I

Finally, Greeley has a place for the artistic community to gather and unite, a place for ideas to come together, supplies for exchange, local art and music for purchase and networking to evolve.

All of these aspects can be found inside Art Space, Greeley’s The Art Place in the Art Space.

This is a place to strengthen and enrich the artistic community.

“I think that opening up a retail shop is a great idea,” junior arts major Rachel Germann remarked, “It goes well with Greeley’s small because the new store is a great resource for people without cars.”

Art Space Greeley is a nonportunities for local artists, offering studio space, galleries, classes and more. It is located on the corner of Seventh Avenue and 12th

The Artis Project is coordinating with Art Space Greeley and will have the grand opening of its new retail store on Nov. 16. ects and crafts from all types of artists. The only stipulation is that the artist is local. Even the music played in the shop will come from local musicians.

The selection of snack food will be provided by Greeleybased vendors. The store within Art Space Greeley really takes the name for its sister organization to heart.

The store will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from about 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. It will also be open the First Friday Art Walk. Weekday visits can be arranged by ap-

If a demand for art supplies arises, the store would be pleased goal of the store is to provide an area for connections and a place “I would love to have a new shop in Greeley because students usually have to drive a long way to purchase art supplies, and I would much rather go to a local place in Greeley that offers great quality,” junior art education major Katy Masterson said.

Occasionally, the shop will host critique nights for artists and visitors. Guests will have the chance to provide constructive criticism and helpful feedback towards art pieces.

Lego Stalin won UNC student $2400 last Halloween.

Will Mr. Gold take the cardboard, gold papier-mâché this year?

Mariya Acherkan and poster arts@uncmirror.com

You may have seen someone dressed as a Lego version of Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin at several Halloween parties last year. The toy version of “Uncle Joe” was a hit at many costume contests, where the winnings raked in a grand total of $2400, which funded a Thanksgiving break trip to Cancun.

Inspired by a 20th century Russian history class and a day of babysitting his nephew, David Rios (aka The Lego Man) decided that Lego Stalin would be a costume that wouldn’t take up too much of his time.

Rios had a fascination with dictators, so Stalin had some competition.

Rios considered Napoleon Bonaparte less complex alternative.

Mao Zedong was also considered, but Rios had more knowledge about Stalin. Stalin became the obvious choice.

“I decided a Lego version of Stalin would be comical enough that

board. But creating it was no easy task.

“None of this would have been possible without the help of some really great and generous friends,” Rios said.

This year the Lego Man decided to go the Lego route again, but this time with some more experience under his belt.

Lego dictator, he decided to go as known as Mr. Gold.

Rios poses as Mr. Gold

people wouldn’t judge the fact that I was dressed as a mass-murdering megalomaniac,” Rios said. “Besides, Lego Stalin looks great when dancing to Miley Cyrus’ ‘Party in the U.S.A.’” The costume was made with recycled materials, foam, Styrofoam,

hat, monocle and diamond-topped cane. For representation of Mr. Gold, he wants to go all out and have Monopoly money blow from out of his top hat.

As for any future Halloween plans, Rios says that he intends to have graduated by next year.

Only time will tell if Mr. Gold takes the gold this year. Rios says he wants to take a trip to South America or Europe with this year’s potential prize winnings.

“Sleepy Hollow,” “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” shine on fall TV line up Shadae Mallory

arts@uncmirror.com

Autumn brings many seasonal pleasures: colorful weather, thrift shop sweaters, pumpkin spice everything and a brand new season of fall television. All September through October, many shows come off of their summer hiatus and bring forth the greatly-anticipated joys of pop culture addicts across the country.

Like most young adults, students at the University of Northern Colorado, are just as excited about fall television as everyone else. Junior sociology major Matthias Steward follows “The Walking Dead” very closely and was thrilled when the “I feel like they’re keeping things unknown and anticipatory in this season, just like they always do with ‘Walking Dead,’” Steward said.

“There seems to be a calm before the storm, but something cataclysmic

and profound is about to strike the prison.”

Steward does not only follow “The Walking Dead” but several other shows as well.

A certain something is missing from his TV this season, though.

“Nothing will ever compare to ‘Breaking Bad’ and how religiously I followed it.”

That’s how it goes: one show ends, and another one is always starting.

This fall, many networks not only welcomed back fan-favorites but also released several brand-new shows.

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” swept the nation after its premiere in September. The series takes place after the hit 2012 movie “The Avengers,” and revolves around a series of non-superpower based S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

“I like ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,’” freshman acting major Ian Fraser said. “I honestly thought it was kind of a cop out that Coulson was alive,

but otherwise I liked it.”

Also new to television this season are the dramas “Sleepy Hollow,” “Almost Human” and “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.” debrand says she has been eagerly awaiting the debut of “Almost Human” since Fox announced the initial premiere. “I’ve been waiting for this show since I found out about it in April,” she said. “One of the things that drew me to the show was the fact that the main character, John Kennex, is played by Karl Urban, who just so happened to play ‘Bones’ in the new ‘Star Trek’ movies.”

“Sleepy Hollow,” which also made its premiere in September, was a surprise hit on the Fox network.

“The fandom really came out of nowhere with this one,” freshman music education major Nicole Janitell said. “But in response Fox already renewed it for its second season, so that’s really cool.”

Foster said. “Art is the one process that I found that is nothing but positive.”

Foster says that art is in a continuous process of growth and development. idea that art will always continue to grow and be a working project.

The Artis Project is an experimental, non-traditional project in the making, with the goal to establish positive changes in the community using art.

“I feel that art is the best tool that anyone can use for personal growth and social

change,” Foster said.

Foster said she believes there are many aspects in the world that an individual can overdo, such as overeat, watch too much television, work too much or spend too much money, but one can never create too much art.

Foster said she was surprised with how well everything is coming together and has no worries about gaining publicity.

Although much of the audience was very receptive and expressed feelings of excitement, one man in the audience didn’t feel that the idea of a matriarchal sonition of egalitarianism. An egalitarian society is ruled by the belief in the equality of all people.

The man questioned how a society based on matriarchal rule could also be seen as egalitarian.

“Her research puts an end to the common prejudice that matriarchy means ‘women’s rule.’

“In matriarchies, women are at the center of culture without ruling,” Ruyle said.

City puts emphasis on arts and culture with 2014 budget Biz Gilmore

Special to The Mirror

Image may not be everything, but in a city with a reputation as long-suffering as Greeley’s it’s starting to matter more. “Image” is one of the priorities in the city of Greeley’s preliminary 2014 budget. as youth success, healthy neighborhoods and community promotion and marketing.

The Culture, Parks & Recreation department is responsible for the majority of the programs and actions associated with the city’s image campaign.

Greeley Unexpected, the marketing campaign that garnered

national attention by highlighting some of Greeley’s most interesting citizens last summer, will be funded until 2017 as part of Greeley’s baseline budget.

“Greeley Unexpected really got my attention as a marketing campaign,” said Mariah Foster, an organizer for Art Space Greeencourages local artists. Foster has lived in Greeley her whole life.

“People tend to look down on arts in the community here,” Foster said. “Like, oh it’s a cow town, what could really be done?

But there is much happening in the community right now. Greeley Unexpected really highlighted that for a lot of people.”

Culture, Parks & Recreation is seeing a budget increase of 2.4 percent from $17.4 million in 2013 to $17.8 million in 2014. This seems like a modest increase after the 2013 budget, when the department budget was increased 10.1 percent.

The Public Art Fund, a new fund proposed for the 2014 budget, exists for Greeley to commission town murals and the acquisition of art.

The fund is budgeted for $257,724.

Foster, a student at Aims Community College, said she also favors budget initiatives like the Public Art Fund but says she is concerned about how the art is selected.

“You see these sculptures around town and they’re not from around here. Why wouldn’t the city spend that money on local artists?” Foster said.

“Say Cheese,” a sculpture in downtown Greeley’s 9th Avenue Plaza, got a lot of attention when it was vandalized over the summer.

That sculpture was commissioned from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design graduate Justin Deister.

Deister’s Linkedin page lists his location as “Greater Denver area.”

City continues to work to reach out to university students Alexandria Adair Vasquez Special to The Mirror For many students at the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley is nothing more than the city in which they chose to attend college.

Not much attention is paid to the inner workings of the city, except to gripe tickets or to complain about the lack of late-night hangouts.

What students may not realize, however, is that members of the Greeley City Council are working hard throughout the year to ensure that UNC is con-

nected to the rest of the community.

With elections for the city council coming up Nov. 5, it’s time that students know exactly what council members do for them – and why they should care.

“I only know that this council includes the mayor and other members that represent the area of Greeley,” said Jeri Salas, a senior social science major. “I don’t know much else other than they have meetings every other week, like the school board, downtown.” tive of a certain disconnect between students and

the city of Greeley, which council members have attempted to bridge in recent years.

One such example of an attempt to better connect UNC students with the city is work being done by the Greeley Creative District, a board on which Robb Casseday actually served before being elected as council member three years ago.

“One of our biggest initiatives is working on turning the area around the UNC campus into a creative district, which is our attempt to try to enhance the experience of all the students at

UNC,” Casseday said.

Since most students’ experiences in Greeley are limited to time spent on or near campus, Casseday said the city council seeks to create programs like Friday Fest and the “Go-Cup” – an event in which open containers of alcohol are allowed out on the street – that help turn the downtown area into a hangout spot for university students.

Sandi Elder, another member of the Greeley city council, said that students should be personally invested in the city they reside in.

“Many are here for the

years they earn their education. Others decide to stay. Greeley, for however long or short their stay, this is their home for a time being,” Elder said.

Live music performances in the 9th Street Plaza may be a perk for students living in Greeley, but Elder said the connection between students and the city runs much deeper than that.

Elder said that from the police department’s work with UNCPD to ensure a safe campus to collaborating with the university’s annual Martin Luther King celebration, the city does its

best to make itself accessible to UNC students.

She also encouraged students who want their voices heard to take more interest in the Greeley city council, whose public meetings are and third Tuesdays of every month, in the Council Chambers of the Lincoln Park Annex Building at 919 Seventh St. “If you care how much you are charged for a speeding ticket, parking issues, safety, image, economics or life in general, you want someone to represent you with more than a personal agenda,” Elder said.

Being informed on happenings in city council important for students Sean O’Leary Special to The Mirror day of each month, the seven members of the Greeley City Council deliberate and make decisions that affect the city of Greeley.

Students from Greeley and other places are affected by what happens in city council meetings.

While the students who have a permanent home in Greeley are considered residents, the students who are not residents of the city must still be informed of the changes made.

“It’s important for students to know what happens at city council meetings because city council

determines what happens in our communities,” said Benjamin Acosta, a sophomore theater education major.

The city council members make an impact on what is allowed and what isn’t allowed within the city limits of Greeley.

Their job, aside from determining in what direction to take the city, is to run the city. The council enacts decisions, and the city staff, led by City Manager Roy Otto, implements those decisions.

While the city council members are elected by residents, the staff members are appointed.

City council is led by the mayor, Tom Norton,

and six other members who represent various parts of the city.

During the regular meetings, city council members allow time for the members of the public to provide their opinions on issues.

“Students must get involved if they want change,” Acosta said.

Acosta is a transfer student from Pikes Peak Community College who is in He said it is necessary for students, regardless of where they are from, to get involved with their community if they do not like the way things are going.

He also said it is important to be informed of decisions from the council, even if

there are no problems with the government.

“City council is the ing yourself about what is happening in your city,” said Jesse Marez Padilla, a freshman vocal performance major at UNC. “City council gives us an understanding on what we can make a change on: the good things, bad things and things we don’t know about.”

Not many people attend the meetings; however, the events of the meetings do not go unnoticed.

“I don’t exactly have the time to go to the meetings, but when I do have time, I research what happened at the meetings,” Acosta said.

Acosta said he does research two or three times per week.

Marez Padilla said he thinks the meetings are important and knowing what happens at them is equally as important for the people in the city. However, he doesn’t believe he can affect change by going to the meetings.

“The meetings are for people who want to be there,” Marez Padilla said.

“The people who have something important to say to their city council can go, but there is no guarantee that they will listen to you.”

In order to affect change, according to Acosta, students have to make the ef-

fort to create it.

Students seem to care about what happens at the city council meetings, but they don’t want to spend the time to go to them or to participate and make any changes they want to see in their community.

Greeley City Council meetings are held at 6:30 Tuesday of each month in the Council Chambers of the Lincoln Park Annex Building located at 919 Seventh St. For more information about city council meetings visit www.greeleygov.

Norton brings experience to office Resendiz seeks change in Greeley representation Angel Archuletta

Special to The Mirror

Q: What is your favorite thing about Greeley?

A: I’d like to say Greeley is the best kept secret in Colorado. It is a nice and clean rural community, and still has a sense of arts and culture.

Q: On your website it says you are a “dedicated public servant.” Why should students get involved and volunteer?

A: Volunteering is as rewarding to an individual as it is to a community. It joins us all together. It is important to dedicate our capabilities to others, it is fortunate to share what we have with those who may not have the same.

Q: What is one thing you want UNC students to know about you?

A: I am actively involved with the university and its involvement with the community. I stay involved with the UNC community by making gestures like purchasing season tickets to sports. UNC students make up 15 percent of Greeley and they have as much right and access to me as the rest of Greeley’s residents.

Q: What has been done for UNC students in your time as mayor?

A: A few things that have been done include the Boomerang Shuttle, which is an expansion on the bus system in Greeley.

It is free for students to take the bus anywhere in Greeley. Another thing I helped introduce is Bear Biz. It helps build a relationship with the local businesses and the UNC community.

Q: What will be done for students if you are re-elected?

A: There will be more downtown development, meaning more activities for students in that area. Most things that will be done will be done out of private investments and the involvement of local businesses.

Q: How have you been able to utilize social media for your re-election?

A: I decided I needed to be more avail-

younger population. You need to be able to communicate with people no matter the method. They say to never give a speech unless you know your audience. It’s the same thing with social media, it reaches a certain audience.

Q: Why should UNC students in particular vote for you?

A: Experience. Experience is important and it allows getting the job done, it allows more coordination for activities. I will be able to expand on the University District, downtown and the creative district that all serve UNC students.

Q: How can city council help UNC?

Tom Norton

Candidate for mayor

Age: 73 Education: Graduated from Colorado State University.

Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Master of Science in Environmental Engineering Occupation: Mayor of Greeley Previous government experience: Served as local state representative and senator for 12 years, President of the Colorado Senate for 6 years, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Transportation for 8 years. Greeley Resident for 49 years Website: http://www.norton4greeley.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Norton4Greeley

A: It depends what UNC students want.

We help with the necessities such as water and sewage. There is also the bus system that we approved. Six percent of public safety is centered on the UNC campus which is why there are the campus police.

If students have concerns, wants or needs I suggest they contact the city administration and they can arrange for a hearing at a city council meeting.

Q: With you being the mayor and your wife the president of UNC, do you ever give each other advice?

A: She runs her university very well, she doesn’t need my advice. We communicate with each other but it’s general.

Q: in Greeley?

A: My view is, it is a public service. I don’t do this because I’m important, but because the people are. I tell people who elected to an important job, but you are not important.” We must look at our jobs as public service. I would be uncomfortable feeling all powerful.

Q: What is some advice you would give students?

A: Students don’t think big enough.

They don’t think about how far they can go and what they can do. There is such an opportunity to learn not only from going to college but from the community and by being social. Be involved. Do work study, go abroad and learn to be a continuous learner.

Think as broadly as possible. Learn as you progress and embrace change. You young people are remarkable.

Tessa Byrns

Special to The Mirror

Q: Why are you running for mayor?

A: I genuinely think that Greeley needs leadership that is willing to work and bring Greeley together. I came from a community that my role was to bring people together. noticed that there was a lot of apathy here.

We had to make thousands of calls and knocked on doors.

I wanted to understand where the apathy was coming from. I came from LA, where the bus system was still accessible. I want to bring that to the people in Greeley. I want people to have other options and opportunities.

There was a study that said people have decreased their use (sic) in cars. I want to accommodate that trend.

Q: What’s your motivation for wanting to be mayor?

A: As mayor it will make my job to bring people out and let the disengaged demographics like minorities, women, and young people to come to the table and impact their local community.

Q: What is your stance on fracking?

A: My stance lies with the people. Our duty is to address the people’s concerns and listen to them.

The oil and gas industry is like the tobacco industry. People say it was good for you. I think the oil and gas industry should work with us more. We have 695 wells in Greeley, 20,000 in Weld County.

There is technology that exists that would allow our air to be cleaner. There are conversations that I would like to have with the oil and gas industry. I’m not anti- oil and gas industry. We know that it brings a lot of revenue for the city. I just want to keep people safe.

I think there are also other things that we can do. Now that we’re at a surplus, let’s look at other things we can do to ensure that we stay on top.

Q: Why should students vote for you?

A: I believe that students, the younger generation, are the future. I think that grassroots leadership is also the way to get the voice of the young people out there. I think young people want to be heard, they don’t want to be held back.

I want to get the older generation to get new ideas out there. I want to work with young people.

Q: What do you think are the issues

facing UNC students?

A: There is a lot of effort to keep students local. We want to keep them from going to Boulder, Denver or Fort Collins. We presence on campus.

We want to embrace them and grant them the opportunity to stay in Greeley after they graduate. We want to cultivate the young people’s new ideas and grow with them. We want to keep them in Greeley so it will improve Greeley.

Q: Did you ever see yourself running for mayor when you were a college student?

A: No, not at all. I didn’t get involved in the political process until 2010. I didn’t think it was possible to have a black president. I was jaded.

I started to help with Obama’s campaign in the midterm elections. I was just sorting through data. I had to help build teams that helped with voter registration.

Q: What do you think about the Weld County residents who want secede from the union and have Weld County become the 51st state?

A: Weld County makes up 5 percent of Colorado’s population. Greeley has more of a voice than people think. Everyone has a valid concern and a good argument. I just don’t think that Weld County becoming the 51st state is the right way to go about things.

Chikawaza seeks to expand, diversify city’s economy Nick Evans

Special to The Mirror

Q: Why should UNC students vote for Neil Chikazawa?

A: “The real truth is I’m willing to actually listen and learn. I’m always looking for the objective evidence to verify my decision,” he said.

Chikazawa will run for the Greeley city council position of Ward II. He said that the most important trait an eryone’s opinion.

A: Chikazawa said he wants to diversify Greeley’s economy. Because of past

business owning experience, he said he believes different sources of income are vital to a city’s success.

He emphasized that a strong economic base must be established before expanding it.

“If there is a varied revenue stream, it provides a cushion just in case one source fails,” Chikazawa said.

Q: What does Chikazawa value in A: “When it comes to politics, what you believe and the ideas you bring forward are the most important factors to success,” he said.

Q: How did he get involved in politics?

A: Greeley, he attended a city council meeting where they discussed the potential loss of the Greeley Stampede.

Garcia hopes to narrow economic gap between East and West Greeley Gina Gresko

Editor’s note: Several attempts were made to contact Frank Garcia, but he did not reply.

Frank Garcia has spent a decade watching Greeley grow into the city it is today. ing tourism in recent months, and Garcia, if awarded a seat on City Council, hopes to make small changes to the city to make Greeley more hospitable to its current residents and overall more prepared for the tourism rush residents have been yearning for.

According to the Greeley Tribune, Garcia has voiced several disappointments with how Greeley has been operating.

He said he is saddened about the rift he sees between east and west Greeley.

Garcia told the Tribune the west side is favored over the east when it comes to funding.

Janette Ruiz, a Greeley native and a senior English major at UNC, says she can sympathize with the view that the two are

“The difference between east and west Greeley can be seen simply by driving through the different neighborhoods,” Ruiz said.

Rachel Stice, a senior human services major from Fort Collins, agrees with Ruiz and Garcia that the west side is favored.

“I believe there is a large economic gap between east and west Greeley. The east side tends to have less economic opportunities,” Stice said.

Garcia has also said he hopes to bring grants and refugees that he believes is at play in the city. well. exists in all societies, but in Greeley it is targeted especially on Hispanics,” Ruiz said.

Stice said she agrees with Garcia wholeheartedly.

“As an intern for the Global Refugee Center, I do see a lot of social stigma associated with members of the refugee and immigrant community. I hear about it all the time,” Stice said.

Additionally, in regards to the Greeley out laws with too little knowledge of their Stice is a bit more optimistic, but acknowledges a potential lack of cultural awareness.

“I do believe the police are well trained in Greeley but perhaps could be improved through cultural competency,” Stice said.

Ruiz, who works in residence life at UNC, speaks with a similar conviction about her encounters with the police.

“In my experience with Greeley PD, I feel that they are not fully trained to handle every situation they encounter, but that they still try to handle situations to the best of their knowledge,” Ruiz said.

The election would likely affect any relationship city council has with UNC. There are several ideas bouncing around on how relations between the city and UNC could be made stronger.

“I think that the council should consider measures to lower cost of living for college students if possible. Rent in Greeley can be extremely pricey, and considering a good majority of Greeley is college students, the

Stice said she would like to see more interaction between the city and the university.

“I feel as though more town hall style meetings and open communication to the UNC community would help bridge the gap between the community and UNC,” Stice said.

As of yet, Garcia has released no statements about how his election would affect UNC.

Wardell places emphasis on students and education DeVaughn Morgan

Special to The Mirror

Q: What was it that made you want to run for city council?

A: “My son, Justin, 16 years old, served a year on the Greeley Youth Commission.

Afterwards he came to me and said, ‘It’s time to do your part.’”

Q: Is there anything you like that current Ward II representative Donna Sapienza did and would like to continue if you become a member? Or what would you like to see change? (Sapienza is not running for reelection.)

A: “She’s battling cancer just like I did. respect for her and anyone battling cancer. I know exactly the pain that she goes through.” (Wardell underwent two surgeries for thyroid cancer and three surgeries for colon cancer. He has been healthy for three years.)

“Last thing I thought I would be is a

writer. I try to lift people up. My poetry is very important to me.”

“I’m a poet. I want to spread my message across to everybody.” (Wardell started writing when his friend died of cancer two years ago.)

“Started writing and haven’t stopped.”

(He has written more than 1,000 poems in two years.)

Q: What is the biggest issue Greeley is facing and how do you plan to face it?

A: “The biggest issue now is the education of our young people and I want to be an asset to the community by promoting their agenda at city council.”

Q: How can city council help UNC students?

A: “I will provide transportation. Find a way to get students to school. Promote the life that is in their eyes and help it grow.

Find a way to teach and to build them up and to make them go for their dreams and aspiration.

“Kids are our future. I want the kids to

win. The university is the greatest asset that the city has.”

Q: Why should student vote for you?

A: “I believe in the light of the students, their energy. I believe in their hearts and their dreams.

“They are the most amazing kids in Greeley - beyond amazing - and the sky is the limit for all of them. It doesn’t matter who students vote for, it’s just their responsibility to vote. People died for that vote.”

“They need to care and know that they are the future. They need to know there is a huge deal coming in November. Patrick Wardell is a huge advocate for UNC students. I want students to live and not take a day for granted and grow as much as they can.”

Sleight recieves endorsement from former Ward II council member Dweezil Hernandez

Special to The Mirror

Randy Sleight is running for the Ward II City Council seat. He said he decided to run because he has a passion for public service and wanted to make a difference for the city.

“I believe in giving back to the community, and helping Greeley is important to me,” Sleight wrote in an email.

Sleight ran for the seat four years ago but lost to council member Donna Sapienza, who currently holds the Ward II seat in the city council.

She is now endorsing Sleight to replace her in November.

Ward II is located in the southeastern part of Greeley and includes the University of Northern Colorado.

Sleight has lived in Ward II for the past 29 years. He and his wife, Beverly, of 36 years have two sons, Ryan and Aaron.

He is also a military veteran having served in the U.S. Navy for nine years and later joined the Air National Guard, where

he served 14 years.

He said that he developed leadership skills in the military which he uses in his full-time work as an environmental health and safety professional.

He is also the Vice Chair of the Board of Commissioners of the Greeley Urban Renewal Authority. He serves as a member of a number of committees and boards including the Greeley Civil Service Commission.

Sleight said his professional work and his extensive volunteer work have given him the experience necessary to serve the people of Greeley as a council member.

“My career as an environmental health and safety professional has provided the skills needed for me to be an effective decision-maker,” Sleight said.

He has furthered his experience by attending city council meetings, reviewing the 2014 budget and having discussions with current council members on the various issues involving the city and to learn how it is governed.

If elected, he said he wants to continue to promote the four priorities of the City

Council, which include image, safety, infrastructure and growth and economic health and development, while continuing to work with the council on any issues involving the city.

“I expect to continue the spirit of cooperation and teamwork that the current council has developed,” Sleight said.

Sleight said that all issues brought to the City Council are important but his focus will be on obtaining water supplies for future growth of the city and how to store and transport them. He also plans to improve the area and the overall quality of life for students around UNC through a community organization called the University District.

“If a student is a registered voter in Ward II, I would be the logical choice to represent them,” Sleight said.

He said the students of UNC and the residents of the area should vote for him because voting allows students to express their support for issues, stand up for what they believe in and choose their own leaders based on performance.

Gates running unopposed as councilman for Ward III

Rachel Bailey

Special to The Mirror

Editor’s note: Gates is running unopposed as a candidate for Ward III Q: Originally, what interested you in being a council member?

A: “I was recruited by a group of community leaders. I had no interest in politics, none whatsoever. Then, I began to talk with some people that had been in politics that twisted my arm and had to convince me that I know a lot about Greeley, I’ve been here all my life, and I would be a great choice, so I started to develop some interest.

“It didn’t happen overnight; it was a long term thing. I initially told this group, ‘Thanks, but I’m not interested. I will help wife said, ‘You would be great at it,’ and I progressed to deciding to run and then ran a campaign.”

Q: Why did you decide to run again?

A: “Actually, I almost didn’t run. Part of me wanted a little chunk of my life back,

but there was more of me that decided, ‘Okay, I’m going to run again.’ My colleagues on council, three of the four of us, decided we would like to keep the same team together so we made a pact that we were going to run again.”

Q: How can city council help UNC students?

A: “By continuing to collaborate with UNC in every way possible. We need to accept that UNC students, while they might be a bit seasonal, are a huge part of our population and we need to work with UNC.

need to embrace UNC, and we do, because they’re a huge part of our community. We need to get people engaged to be tomorrow’s leaders and that’s where they’re coming from.”

Q: Why should UNC students vote for you?

A: “Because I care about UNC and I

anybody that UNC is a key part of our community that we need to embrace. UNC is a huge part of Greeley, like CSU is a huge part of Fort. Collins.”

“We need to work with leaders at UNC, whether it be administrators, students or student senate. Being engaged with students is rewarding, knowing that I’m talking to tomorrow’s leaders, because we need tomorrow’s leaders.”

Q: Why would it be important for UNC students to get involved in the community?

A: “They are tomorrow’s leaders and Greeley offers a lot more than people think.

There’s a stigma to UNC students, sometimes, that Greeley is unsafe; however, it is a safe community. Our goal is, if you like it here, stay here.”

Q: What do you plan to do to make Greeley better for UNC students?

A: “To continue the collaboration, which I’m not concerned about, especially if Mayor Norton is reelected. It has been the best collaboration that the city has ever

In the late evenings, I read up on oil and gas issues, land use issues and ordinances that will better prepare me for serving or that might come before council.

Q: What originally drew you into the at-large position? And what has inspired you to run again?

A: I always served on boards or commissions within our city. If you have anything at all to say about our city, taxes, roads, bike lanes, ticket issued, development—get involved.

Make your voice heard. I decided to run for reelection again because I feel this council in particular has done a lot for our community.

We have many challenges for our city and I'm up for them. I see myself as approachable and willing to continue the strong work I've done for the past four years.

Q: Why should students care about what the city council does?

A: Do students care if there is a curfew? Do students care about their livelihood or entertainment?

We set policy, ordinances and resolutions that affect where you attend school, live and play. Students care about how they are treated and should care who represents them.

Q: How does the city council and UNC work together to better the student experience in Greeley, if at all?

A: Our mayor has a unique relationship with the president of the university and I see this as a great collaboration. UNC is a gem in our community and Greeley is here for the student, whether they are just here for their education or want to make Greeley their home.

Q: Is there anything you would like to say about your opponent?

Despite the loss, the Bears had three players with 15 or more kills in the match: Spaustat (19), junior middle blocker Brianna Strong (17) and sophomore outside hitter Kendra Cunningham (15). Cunningham added 21 digs defensively.

Leading the way for the Grizzlies was senior outside hitter Kayla Reno, who had 18 kills.

Superstitious Jordan Doucette

Senior libero Merideth Johnson is one of several players who subscribe to rituals regarding their sport. She bounces the volleyball five times before serving.

With Halloween right around the corner, it’s important to remember not to cross the path of a black cat or break a mirror. Czech culture says seven years of bad sex will result from using an improper toasting technique.

Perhaps more than any other group, athletes are known to subscribe to superstitions.

Some athletes choose to wear a particular item of clothing. Golfer Tiger Woods wears a red Nike shirt every Sunday of tournament play in honor of his mother.

Some athletes have a set pregame meal or drink. Milwaukee Bucks forward Caron Butler guzzles down a liter of Mountain Dew before game time.

Some athletes are willing to risk personal injury in ritual. Former Raiders defensive tackle John Henderson asked coaches and teammates to smack his helmet as hard as possible before Sundays.

Some athletes carry superstitions that are even more odd.

dunked his stick in the toilet when his game was struggling.

However strange these superstitions might be, many athletes will tell you that they are a big part of competition. UNC junior forward Tim Huskisson has proved to be one of the more superstitious athletes on campus.

“I always shower before the games. Is that weird?” asked Huskisson. “I feel like it gives me a little extra energy, makes me warm.”

It doesn’t stop there for Huskisson, who also says he doesn’t roll up his shooting sleeve until it’s time to tip off. In high school, Huskisson would wear spandex shorts and Nike Dri-Fit shorts under his basketball shorts to every game. Not to mention he wears two pairs of socks to every game and practice.

“Maybe it’s a style thing,” Huskisson said. “When the double socks with Nike signs got huge I started doing that. So I’ll just pull my second sock a little higher.”

Senior guard Tate Unruh isn’t quite as superstitious as Huskisson, but he does follow a consistent pregame routine.

“I like to spend a little bit of time in prayer before the game,” Unruh said. “We put so much time game time comes you’re pumped.

It really helps my frame of mind.”

Unruh also says he likes to down a high-carb meal before each game, but he believes the best way to prepare for a game is to put in the work during practice.

Senior libero Merideth Johnson said the volleyball team has a speto on game day.

“There’s Gas Pedal (Sage the Gemini), Church, Dark Horse

(Katy Perry),” Johnson said. “A lot of Lil’ Jon. We go gangster,” she added with a smile.

Johnson also said that she will each of her serves. “It’s a rhythm thing, kind of like a routine.”

Junior outside hitter Andrea Spaustat says that she isn’t much into superstitions, but she used to write inspirational words on her wrists before game time.

“Freshman and sophomore year I used to write on my wrists,” she started. “Whatever I was struggling with at the time, for example, I’d write something like ‘breathe.’”

Spaustat says that some of her favorite pregame music includes Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and, of course, Katy Perry.

Junior basketball center Stephanie Lee is one of the more superstitious Bears on campus. Lee let out a big smile as she spoke about her many superstitions.

“I have to do things exactly the same way before games,” said Lee. “I have to put everything on my left foot on, and then everything on my right foot on. Because the second letter in ‘right’ is ‘i” and the second letter in ‘win’ is ‘i’.”

The practice of superstitions extends beyond the playing surface. It’s taboo in the press box to mention overtime for fear of deadline. In the press box of the baseball diamond at Jackson Field, any mention of a passing train is believed to cause a run by the visiting team.

Whether superstitions give players a true advantage or not is debatable, but anything that considered a positive in competition.

With the loss of those four players this season, more responsibility will be placed on younger players than it has been in recent years.

“With the transition of Lauren, Hannah and Victoria all graduating, we had a lot of younger kids step up tonight, which was awesome,” said junior center Stephanie Lee after Friday’s exhibition game against Colorado State–Pueblo Friday. “Instead of having one or two leading scorers, it was all middle of the pack and that’s exactly what we need.”

New athletic director must not make reactionary decisions in light of disappointing season

Like Towels

By Michael Nowels

When a boxer is being battered, the bell is his best friend, offering a brief respite to prepare for the next round and regain focus.

This week is UNC football’s bell.

The team sits at 1-7 as the losses have snowballed into a largely lost season. There was legitimate hope coming into the fall after a ish the 2012 campaign.

Not a glimmer of that hope is left in a team that sounded defeated after last week’s 34-18 loss to UC Davis.

“Frustrated” was the word of the day that afternoon, particu-

larly for head coach Earnest Collins Jr. and senior running back Tromaine Dennis. When describing a seven-game losing streak, “frustrating” is likely an understatement for the Bears’ players and staff.

Collins drew parallels between his situation and that of Job in the Bible (though he was careful not to blasphemize concerning the scale of the circumstances). He mentioned he believes Murphy’s Law is in effect, saying “anything that can go will go at this point.”

A natural response would be to look toward next season, but even that looks fairly uncertain.

Dennis, Seth Lobato, Jace Davis and Clarence Bumpas will all be gone after a disappointing senior season, leaving the remaining Bears to search for playmaking ability on both sides of the ball.

But that’s not even the greatest unknown for the football

program.

Presumably, UNC will name a new athletic director in the near future, as president Kay Norton said last month that she hopes to reach a decision in early Novemnew AD’s to-do list will be evaluating the football program that’s gone 6-24 over Collins’ tenure.

Collins’ contract runs through next season, but a new hire above him in the UNC hierarchy and a disappointing season bring a change to the discussion.

Whoever is hired to run the department must consider the program Collins inherited. There’s been little to no success for the Bears on the gridiron since fully transitioning to Divison I in 2007, and the program had already been trending downward during the transition process.

Generally, successful college football programs display great stability with little turnover in

the coaching staff. Certainly a winning program will not cycle through successful coaches—if it nuity lends itself to winning football games just like determining a team identity and game planning in accordance with that identity helps a team win.

Collins was a star as a player for UNC and has a passion for the school, particularly his players.

He often speaks of the importance he places on studies, a value key to a university trying to improve that’s somewhat foreign to many in the industry, no matter how they pay lip service to classwork). es are a drag when week after week, you’re asking the same questions with different words— “What went wrong?”, “What changes will you make?”, “How can you regroup?” (I can’t imagine how Cleveland sports

writers feel).

to those questions when, as Collins said last week, “you can’t put Though he’s not yet found the root of the rampant issues, Collins Saturday when his team takes on Montana State.

But UNC needs to start over with a new coaching staff about as much as Collins needs some crackpot student journalist makFor now, Collins and his team can only use the bye week to get the remaining rounds.

UNC club hockey swept a three-game weekend, defeating Dordt College Thursday night at the Greeley Ice Haus and taking both games of a home-andhome series against Metro State Friday and Saturday.

The University of Northits offensive muscle in the of the net in Thursday’s 11-5 win over the Dordt.

The Bears led almost immediately, as senior forward Tripp Wheat scored just twelve seconds into the game. In all, nine UNC skaters scored in the game, including two goals each by senior forward Jamie Kleiner and freshman forward Ansel Duesenberg.

Northern Colorado overcame seven penalties in its offensive onslaught. Four were called on freshman defender Zack Carlson,

who served a game misconduct on his fourth trip to the the second period.

UNC also lost junior defender Austin Pond between the second and third period to an undisclosed injury. Junior forward Blaine Shrum left the game early in the third period with a knee injury.

Junior goalie Nate Chomyn shut down any thoughts Dordt had of a comeback, keeping his net clean in the third period.

The Bears survived a late game-tying by Metro State to prevail 4-3 in overtime Friday night at the Greeley Ice Haus. game Road Runners sophomore forward Dan Sheehan evened the score and sent the game to overtime. But senior forward Kevin Garske scored for the Bears on just their second shot of game and securing the victory for UNC.

Garske said his team made an aggressive personnel decision, by adding an formation going into the overtime period, a choice that paid off with a win.

“We just wanted to play a hard offense because we knew they were tired so we played three forwards and only one defenseman,” he said.

The University of Northern Colorado started slowly, allowing the Road goal three minutes into the game. But the Bears gained life when Pond scored a power-play goal less than three minutes later.

UNC’s special teams were a strong point in the victory; the Bears scored penalties defensively.

Denver Art Museum does French art justice with latest exhibition Unasked Opinions

By Steven Josephson

The Denver Art Musuem’s latest exhibition, “Passport to Paris,” has three things going for it: big names, great arrangement and a wonderful sense of history.

Having been to last year’s Van Gogh exhibition, I was a bit skeptical on how the DAM was going to be able to provide a proper intropective on 300 years of French art, showcase a collection of 39 drawings and display a broad sampling from the Impressionist movement.

The space they have for special exhibitions in the Hamilton Building seemed full to bursting

with Van Gogh, and I couldn’t see tic equivalent of all that and a bag of chips into it.

The exhition is divided into three galleries. “Court to Café” covers 300 years of French history through an artistic lens, starting with the Roman-inspired works on the 1600s and moving through to the Post-Impressionists in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century.

“Drawing Room” displays 39 drawings, ranging from sketched artistic renderings. The drawings are from the private collection of Dr. Esmond Bradley Martin and are made by many of the artists featured in the other two galleries.

“Nature as Muse” focuses on the art and artists of the Impressionist movement. Included in the exhibit are artworks from the private collection of Frederic C. Hamilton. The musuem reports

works from Hamilton’s private collection have been on view to the public.

While it may seem like a lot to take in through one exhibition, the DAM pulls it off. You have everyone you’d want in a showcase of French art: Degas, Monet and Van Gogh all have pieces in the exhibition, as do Pissarro, Toulouse-Lautrec and Gauguin.

While most of the pieces on display are not the artists’ marthe context of their time and allowing the observer to understand the events and developments that The Impressionists gallery is everything that you’d want in such a display: lots of color, gorgeous landscapes, and a whole room full of Monet.

Still, for me, the biggest treat was seeing the drawings on dis-

play in “Drawing Room.”

The one-room gallery has an intimate set up that allows the viewers to get close to the works. works of art in their own right.

My personal favorites were the sketches and more doodlelike drawings, which reminded me that these masters are more than just names in book, but actual people who worked out their ideas and occasionally doodled instead of producing their next masterwork.

The exhibition, which opened Sunday, will run through Feb. 9 Tickets can be purchased via the museum’s website, www.denverartmuseum.org, or by calling 720913-0130.
