From the hours of 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday, the Greeley and UNC community gathered to help break a Guinness World Record for the longest chalk drawing. Stretching over 3.5 miles, the chalk drawing is located in the University Center parking lot off of 11th Avenue and 22nd Street.
Registration for the 10th annual Cans to Candelaria food drive competition is now open. “Cans That Matter” is a food drive that is held on UNC’s campus every year to benefit the Weld Food Bank. UNC students, staff and faculty have until Oct. 1 to register their club, department or other campus-related organization. All donations of non-perishable food items and cash are accepted. Registration forms can be found online at: http:// www.unco.edu/canstocandelaria/. An email can also be sent to alena.clark@unco.edu or coy3678@bears.unco.edu.
The record was attempted last year but fell short at one mile and half. According to the Guinness Word Records website, the previous record was achieved by over 5,000 students from Jena, Germany on June 5, 2009. “Nature” served as the theme for this year’s Chalk-A-Lot, and from it came a plethora of images. Common images such as flowers, trees and nature scenes flooded the chalk drawing. People with more artistic inclinations drew images of popular television characters such as Snoopy, Pokémon and the Minions from the animated film “Despicable Me.”

A crowd gathered at the Women’s Resource Center to participate in the campaign “I Need Feminism Because…” Wednesday, Sept. 9. “One of the things about feminism that I love is that it’s a platform to dismantle several forms of oppression,” said Yvette Lucero-Nguyen, director of the WRC. “I need feminism because oppression is awful, and nobody should have to experience that. I have a perspective that’s very broad. When I think about feminism, it’s like all [types of] oppression.” The feminist movement has grown radically over the past few decades, but that doesn’t mean discrimination against women has been eliminated. “People shouldn’t be oppressed based on things that they can’t control,” said Jasiel Sanchez, a freshman
English secondary education major. Sharmarke Ahmed, who is attending graduate school for higher education and student affairs leadership, said feminism is important to him mainly because of his six sisters. “I’ve got six sisters,” Ahmed said. “I didn’t choose. It just happened. I’m all for equal rights.” In addition to hosting campaigns like this one, the resource center strives to be a welcoming place for all students and offers assistance to those who need it. “One of the biggest ways the Women’s Resource Center has helped students, in particular, is giving them a space to talk about things that are going on in their personal lives,” said Tyrell Allen, a graduate assistant for the WRC. The center is a space anyone can come to and talk about situations that have impacted them, from the controversy of gender norms to sexual assault, and how these issues have affected their lives, their careers and the university as a whole. “I would say that it’s a place I can come,” Allen said. “I’ve sat and talked about anything from my career
development to things going on in my personal life to classes—to literally the whole thing. Even my understanding of myself as a man, I definitely attribute a lot of my personal growth and professional growth to the Women’s Resource Center.” The resource center serves as a leading advocate for female rights at the University of Northern Colorado and is a large supporter of feminism. While feminism can be thought to be only for women, many students understand it to be a way to correct oppression that plagues different groups of people today. “I think that because it has the term ‘women’ in it, people perceive it as being only for women,” Sanchez said. “Basically, I see it as gender equality, but I think it’s called feminism because women are the ones being oppressed. And I think that, as a guy, it definitely isn’t the cool thing to be doing, but it is necessary.” The Women’s Resource Center is located in ScottWillcoxon Hall, next to the Student Health Center in Cassidy Hall on Central Campus.

Career services, tests aid future decisions By Will Costello news@uncmirror.com
Research shows that up to 50 percent of college students change their majors by the time they graduate. Since so much pressure is put on students to choose the correct field of study, many try to find something that will guide them toward a happy and satisfying career. Several personality tests, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Clifton StrengthsFinder, claim their results may offer individuals understandings of themselves and their ideal job industries. Some personality tests can be taken online, but the Career Services Center at UNC offers some as well. Madison Buhre, a sophomore psychology and vocal performance major, said certain tests helped her find a good fit for her interests. “It’s helped to narrow certain things,” Buhre said. According to Buhre, personality tests helped her to recognize her strengths and weak-
nesses. She could then search for careers that would play to her strong traits while avoiding her weaker ones. “I need some sort of emotional connection,” Buhre said, giving an example of one such strength. “I can’t do something that requires me to be totally objective.” Lynn Klyde-Silverstein, associate professor of journalism and mass communications, said she remembered taking tests that would recommend different careers based on personality traits. “I took two, and they both said I should be a teacher,” Klyde-Silverstein said. But according to Renee Welch, director of Career Services, personality tests are an effective starting point, but cannot provide all the answers people need to find a suitable major and career. However, she said she understands why people use them so much. “I think it makes it sound easy, like someone outside of you knows the answer,” Welch said. “In fact, I think it takes more self-reflection.” Welch said tests are part of
the process, but other steps must be taken to help students find a good career. She explained that personality tests are self-reporting, meaning a student who reports an interest in a subject will be told that he or she should major in that subject, even if it’s not a good fit for him or her. Welch recommends getting experience to help clarify whether or not a career fits with how a student perceives it. “My undergraduate degree was in chemistry,” Welch said. “And I realized through an internship that I hated the thing I thought I loved.” Even given the effectiveness of some personality tests, career counselors are the best way to discover a truly satisfying career, Welch said. “A counselor is working with you to self-reflect,” Welch said, explaining that a trained professional can provide students with resources they haven’t considered before and provide more options to consider. Welch said there is only so much a personality test, or even a career counselor, can do to guide a student toward their
correct major and career. “I’m not a fortune teller,” Welch said. “I don’t have a crystal ball. I want you to be your own fortune teller.”
Career Services is located on the second floor of the University Center. Appointments may be made in person or by calling 970-351-2127.

Student Senate met for the second time this year Wednesday, Sept. 9 and is making preparations for the upcoming semester. To stay informed during an election year, Student Senate spent a large portion of the meeting discussing relevant issues dominating the headlines. Its aim is to be a reference for students who are looking for information regarding current events. The Senate discussed the Iran Nuclear Deal, and a variety of points were made by individuals on both sides of the issue. Some student representatives expressed concern regarding the discussion of the issue with students and appeared worried the conversation could be interpreted as the Senate taking a stance on a controversial political issue. It was decided that in any discussions with students,

In addition, Chris Garcia, assistant director of Alumni Relations, presented on the “Success Looks Like Me” program. The program is intended to help students connect with UNC alumni. This allows students to begin networking by working with mentors who graduated with the same major. Student Senate also discussed whether or not they would accept votes on issues concerning the student population that the organization would endorse. While some representatives supported the idea of a student-governing body that took action on issues, others worried that minority voices in the organization wouldn’t be fully recognized. The next Student Senate meeting will be 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23, in the Council Room of the University Center.

There is no better way to bring people together than with food, games and entertainment. Sept. 9, the cultural centers gathered at the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center to share a meal and introduce students to what the three cultural centers have to offer. As highlighted on the university’s
web page, the cultural centers each cater to different minority groups present at UNC. The Marcus Garvey Cultural Center, the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center and the Kohl House are open to students. Throughout the school year, each center hosts events exposing students to different cultural activities. These events span from meals, to movies and discussion panels. Each center was created in hope to create a community for students to gather with people who share the same
experiences as them. Diana Casillas, senior psychology major and Cesar Chavez Cultural Center staff, said she was happy to see the turnout at the Street Bash. She also said she appreciated the positive attitude people brought to the event. Being a transfer student from Front Range Community College, Casillas said she was able to find a sense of home at the Cesar Chavez center. “After meeting Patricia Escobar and other staff members, I knew that was
the environment I wanted to be in,” Casillas said. “Everyone seems happy to meet you once you walk in the door, and the CCCC house seems like a home away from home.” On Friday, the Native American Students Services is hosting an Indian taco lunch at the Kohl House, located at 924 20th St. At the event, students will have the opportunity to learn more about the Native American Student Services and will get the chance to meet the Kohl House staff.

For the first time since 2003, the University of Northern Colorado football team is 2-0 to start the season, beating Houston Baptist 34-10 Saturday night in Houston. The Bears managed a total of 307 yards and scored three rushing touchdowns. Northern Colorado scored on their second drive when Jonathan Newsom escaped for a four-yard run, which capped off a three-play 60-yard drive. Freshman Trae Riek nearly scored on the previous play when Newsom completed a pass to him for 42 yards. Riek, coming off a dominate performance against Western State last weekend, continued to play well, leading the Bears’ rushing attacks with 76 yards on only 12 carries. Six different running backs took
the field for UNC, allowing Riek some valuable resting time. Houston Baptist responded with a field goal, and the first quarter ended with the Bears leading 6-3. During the second quarter, the Bears replaced Newsom with redshirt freshmen Jacob Knipp. Newsom finished the game 5-for11 passing with 72 yards and a rushing touchdown. The addition of Knipp into the offense led to three scoring drives. In his first career game, Knipp completed 8-of-11 passes for 77 yards, along with a touchdown. Houston Baptist trailing 7-3 in the second quarter nearly claimed the lead. On third and five at the Bears’ 5-yard line, junior defensive back Tyler Bloyer stepped in front of a Houston Baptist pass and intercepted the ball for the only turnover of the game. UNC did not score any points on their next possession. During the second quarter, both of-
fenses failed to score, but the Bears scored a touchdown on a 71-yard punt return by wide receiver Ellis Onic, making the score 13-3. During the third quarter, the Bears added two more touchdowns. First, Stephen Miller caught a 19-yard touchdown pass ending a seven-play 73-yard drive. Next, Riek ran the ball in from three yards, making the score 27-3. Houston Baptist eventually found the end zone in the fourth quarter, when Ethan Fry caught a touchdown to make the score 27-10. The Bears responded when Anthony Davis scored on a 36-yard run. The touchdown made the score 34-10, and this would be the last score of the game. The Bears’ defense was stellar, forcing one turnover and also forcing nine punts for Houston Baptist. Key stops on third down can be attributed to the Bears’ successful night as they held Houston to only converting on 9-of-23 third down conversions. The Bears’ secondary only allowed
122 passing yards. After giving up 587 yards last week to Western State College, the Bears looked to slow down the Houston offense and improved by cutting out 285 yards compared to last week. Northern Colorado fans can expect head coach Earnest Collins Jr. to mix things up at the quarterback position throughout the season. With three potential starters for UNC, it will be a competition nearly every week. Northern Colorado will look to keep their winning streak alive when they travel to Cedar City next weekend. The Bears face Southern Utah at 6 p.m. on Saturday to take on Southern Utah. In two games, Southern Utah has a combined 19 total points and are coming off of a 55-12 blowout loss to top Big Sky opponent South Dakota State. Saturday’s matchup will be the home opener for Southern Utah. UNC and Southern Utah last played in 2013-14, as the Bears lost 27-21.
Volleyball struggles at Pistol Pete Showdown By Zach Blackburn sports@uncmirror.com
The University of Northern Colorado’s volleyball team struggled in the Pistol Pete’s Showdown in Laramie, Wyoming this past weekend, dropping three games and extending their losing streak to five games. Facing No. 14 CSU (5-1) on Tuesday in Fort Collins, the Bears hoped to gain momentum heading into the tournament in Wyoming. The Bears struggled defensively, being swept by CSU 3-0 on Tuesday night in Fort Collins. The competition level stayed tough as UNC faced another Top-25 team, No. 22 Kansas
(9-0), while also playing Marquette (6-3) in a double header on Friday and Wyoming (7-2) on Saturday. The Bears strived to get on the right track heading into next weekend’s Northern Colorado Classic, hosted by UNC. Northern Colorado dropped all of the weekend games by at least two sets. After losing four on the road this week and one to ASU the week before, UNC (2-7) has lost five straight matches and has struggled to defend the net as they did last season. Defense and consistency problems have plagued the Bears. The past four games away from home, they averaged 25 errors per game, opposed to their opponents’ 17.75 errors. Also on the trip, they aver-
aged a less-than-killer .154 hitting percentage and accomplished under 10 blocks per game. In two of the four games, UNC had five or fewer blocks —the only redeemer to their average being their game against KU with 22 blocks. In the three games where the Bears did win sets, they put up good numbers, outscoring opponents 75-57. Out of the total 12 sets dropped, UNC was within five points for seven of those sets. One against CSU (21-25), three against Kansas (20-25, 23-25, 20-25) two against Marquette (20-25, 21-25) and one against Wyoming (25-27). Senior outside hitter Kendra Cunningham led the team on the road trip with 50 kills and
the second most digs (41) behind junior defensive setter Makenna Meier, who had 44. Cunningham posted two double-doubles on the road trip coming against Kansas and Wyoming, UNC’s better games of the stint away from home. She also missed a third double-double by one dig facing Marquette. Sophomore outside hitter Timarie Nymeyer, sophomore middle blocker Alex Kloehn and redshirt freshman outside hitter Emily O’Neil all put up good offensive numbers with 24, 20 and 27 kills respectively. But none of their stats, nor Cunningham’s, would be possible without junior setter Ashley Guthrie’s 132 assists over the four games.
UNC has an upcoming home stand following almost a week of rest for the Northern Colorado Classic. This is UNC’s chance to prove their resilience that Coach Oates has harbored so far this season. The Bears will face a favorable schedule this weekend, compared to the four top-40s they faced this past week. Utah State (2-8) and Eastern Kentucky (1-10) are both on losing streaks similar to the Bears, at five and three games respectively. But Indiana may prove to be a bit of a tougher opponent at 7-2 and a current win streak of four games. The next UNC volleyball game is against Utah State at 7 p.m. Friday at the Bank of Colorado Arena.

This week in Northern Colorado sports Women’s Soccer Staff Report
sports@uncmirror.com
The University of Northern Colorado women’s soccer team dropped their second game in a row against Colorado State University, losing 2-1 on Sunday afternoon at Jackson Field. The annual Colorado Cup was the third meeting in three years for UNC and CSU, and the Bears were hoping to get their first win over their in-state rivals. Northern Colorado regressed in this year’s match, after losing 2-1 last year and tying in 2013, 2-2. The Bears wanted to take advantage of the struggling Ram squad, as Colorado State was on a four-game losing streak heading into Sunday’s match. CSU (1-4-1) felt the pressure early as UNC got their first shot off at the two-minute mark. Junior Shanlie Anderson was the Bears’ third highest scorer last season, but has yet to find the back of the net this season. She got another shot for the Bears at the 16-minute mark. A foul on UNC senior Sydney Schroeder led to a penalty kick for the Rams’ Gianna Marconi. Marconi beat Bears goalkeeper Kaitlin Ruff and gave CSU the lead at the 22-minute mark. The Rams managed to fire 11 shots and seven were on target. Ruff managed to make four saves, but the Rams were able to capitalize
Men’s Golf on free kicks. Head coach Tim Barerra said he is working to integrate younger players, and enforced that in this game. Freshman Mariel Gutierrez played 72 minutes against the Rams. Gutierrez played 80 minutes against Fairleigh Dickinsion and 100 minutes in the marathon game against Drake University. Gutierrez is averaging nearly two shots per game and has six shots in the last two games. She managed three shots against CSU, getting two shots on net and scoring the lone goal for the Bears. Northern Colorado sophomore Brooke Braden has been another steady performer for UNC’s young forward core. After seeing a cut in minutes in last Sunday’s match against Fairleigh Dickinson, Braden took advantage of extended minutes against CSU, getting two shots off, tying with junior Kassy Castillo for second on the team highs. Sunday also served as the annual Bark in the Park game, where owners were allowed to bring their dogs into Jackson Stadium to watch the game. Denkai Sanctuary was also in attendance to deliver information about animal rescue and potential donation information. For more information about Denkai Sanctuary, visit: www.denkaisanctuary. org.

UNC men’s golf tied for seventh in the Falcon Invitational at the Air Force Academy, beating the College of William and Mary by one stroke. Missouri-Kansas City was the golf team that UNC tied with as they played nearly identical throughout the tournament. Seniors Steven Kupcho and Conner Barr led the Bears as they both finished -1 in the first and third rounds. The Bears struggled in the second round as four of five players finished over par. Only freshman Joshua Matz put together a good day on the field, finishing -1. Kupcho tied for 22nd with five others at +2. The University of Colorado appeared to have the clear advantage as senior Philip Juel-Berg led the Buffs with a -12, the best score of the tournament, but it was Colorado State University that pulled through in the final round, scoring a -7 in the final round to snag the victory. The golf team will compete again on Monday, September 21, at the Fort Collins Invitational.
