Professor takes ‘venomous’ approach to cancer cure KATIE OWSTON news@uncmirror.com

Preliminary test results for a UNC professor’s project researching snake venom as a potential cure for cancer have returned promising.

Stephen Mackessy, professor of biological sciences at the University of Northern Colorado, was recently awarded a $50,480bioscience grant from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. In 2007, he was awarded a $53,260 bioscience grant.

With the new grant, Mackessy said he hopes to further analyze his testing using purified compounds found in both snake venoms and anti-cancer drugs.

Mackessy’s lab is one of the only labs in the world conducting this type of research. With the help of graduate and under-

graduate students, snakes from Southeast Asia, Africa, Central and South America, and Colorado are tested in his lab.

Only a few snakes, however, have venom that can potentially treat breast, colon and skin cancers.

“Venom is a complex mixture of many different things,” Mackessy said. “It contains elements that we can identify and pull out as potential candidates for testing.”

Mackessy and his students extract the venom from the snakes. Not all snake venom is harmful to humans, but Mackessy’s research shows that specific elements in snake venom can be quite beneficial.

The snake venom is filled with many different elements, making possibilities for compounds virtually endless.

Mackessy remains patient,

though, and said he enjoys the work he is doing— both in the classroom and in the laboratory.

“One of the most fascinating and frustrating things about research is that when you answer one question, you open a can of 10 to 20 others ,” Mackessy said.

Once the venom is extracted from the snake, specific elements are withdrawn and tested on human cells. This process can last quite some time; eliminating cells while combining and testing others takes years.

“One of the nice things about UNC is the ability to balance between teaching and research,” Mackessy said.

There are dozens of undergraduate students who have participated in all areas of this project. One undergraduate student, Mike Bradshaw, was instrumental in beginning the research.

Bradshaw helped with the initial

testing -- culturing cells -- and came in with prior knowledge of conditions and procedures relating to the research.

Some students, because of their involvement with the project, have had the opportunity to have work published in national and international journals.

Drug development can take anywhere from five to 10 years, in a process Mackessy refers to as “bench-to-bedside.” In a few year’s time, he hopes to have several compounds as potential candidates for the cure.

Right now, Mackessy’s lab serves as a clearinghouse for developing compounds. Once the compounds are complete, he hopes to work with outside corporations and foundations.

More than 100,000 people in the United States alone die each year from skin, colon and breast

cancer, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

advanced painting students an opportunity to self-promote and get their names and pieces out among the public to showcase their different styles of art, said Britt Anderson, a senior visual arts major.

Members of the Painting Club want to raise money so their members can attend art galleries and bring in professional artists to learn from. The club is geared toward the advancement of its

members, helping them become more experienced artists.

The treasurer of the club, art education senior Katherine Placzeck, said the inspiration behind her paintings are a lot of different things. Placzeck said some paintings feature more emotions in them, and others have a more scientific approach. She also said painting is a way for her to cope with stress.

Anderson brought several unique pieces of artwork to the gala. She said the inspiration behind them was plant and sea life, but mathematics was also included. Anderson said this proved to be an attention-grabbing mix, which turned into abstract pieces of work.

There were many different types of art at the gala ranging from exotic and disturbing to peaceful

and fun. One of the viewers, Amy Dugan, said the artwork was very beautiful, and they all had different creative styles. Dugan also said the artists were talented and utilized many different mediums. Dugan said she was very pleased to be able to attend the event.

“There is a lot of talent here,”

said Paul Rohrig, another viewer at the gala.

Rohrig said he enjoyed the gala immensely. He said he thought the students’ paintings had a lot of imagination and talent in them.

Rohrig was amazed that the artists were able to get what they imagined onto the canvas.

Expression of conflict has evolved bluntly The environment of activism is ever-changing. In order to challenge the most prevalent issues, there have always been dissenters who signed their disapproval or indifference by wearing different clothing, growing their hair longer than was acceptable or making some kind of mockery of the socially elite, whether that be person, product or practice.

In the dawn of what some refer to as the “information age,” expression has gone from subtly known marks of non-verbal or written communication to run-of-the-mill phrases and slogans. The catch-phrase T-

So what then is a better way to get our point across to as many people who will glance at what we can’t say ourselves? Expression is good; it stirs much-needed conversation, but what kind of conversation? We must take more time in how we cleverly represent our stances, because it’s hard to take saving giraffes seriously when someone illustrates them on a motorcycle giving an inappropriate hand gesture.

By writing on pants, shirts, shoes, backpacks and other apparel, people can express themselves in a direct way without providing food for thought to the issue. For example, a piece symbol means a lot more than a bumper sticker that reads, “When I’m not saving the world, I like to get drunk and screw.” Thanks for the nightmares, Greenpeace.

adolescence, my sister was playing out Celine Dion’s “Greatest Hits” album. In said album is a song called “Rain, Tax (It’s Inevitable),” which covers an array of things that are — you guessed it — inevitable, like rain, tax and her falling in love with this man.

You may believe me when I say Celine Dion is not a trusty adviser or else when she was listing inevitabilities she would

have mentioned, “and you will, at some point, be paralyzed by a predicament of your own fabrication.”

Here’s the sitch: I was texting in frustration on a frustrating morning to my boyfriend, besmirching this and slandering that, and somehow, I ended up texting a rather vile message, not to my boyfriend, but to the person it was about — for shame.

My face burned red like a baboon’s hiney, and after a moment’s pause in which I considered my logical options — pretending my phone had been hijacked by tricksy pirates, running away to join the circus, running away to join the pirates — I decided the only thing for it was an apology.

It is a very curious creature, an apology. You must take very

great care to be humble with it or else it will scamper off into the forest, leaving you stranded with only conceit for company. While I count working oneself up into a good and proper rage as one of life’s little pleasures, the repercussions of such a frenzy can leave an awkward stain on the proverbial bed that I made and must lie in. Having been on the receiving end of felonious apologies, I was determined to do this right. And because I know you won’t learn it from Celine Dion, I will happily educate you on the proper anatomy of an apology.

To begin with, an apology does not have a “but.” You cannot say, “I’m sorry I was mean to you, but you are really annoying!” Don’t try to justify the mean thing you did; you can explain yourself in a

way that takes responsibility and neutralizes blame: “I’m sensitive about my weight, and I reacted angrily when you said I’d look good in a burka. I should never have told you your breath smells like a foot. I hope we can move forward from this.”

Try to examine yourself honestly, looking at what provokes or embarrasses you, and identify what is causing you to lash out and create an apology — worthy situations — and try to learn from your mistake. A good apology serves justice to the offended, and begets growth in the offender. It doesn’t have to be eloquent, but it must be sincere and thoughtful to be of any merit.

Student Senate Update

Clubs appeal for funds, campus relations discussed SARA VAN CLEVE news@uncmirror.com Student Senate approved club-funding proposals for two organizations, and updates on the recent work of University Relations were discussed during the Wednesday meeting.

The first requests were made by the UNC chapter of the American Choral Directors Association, the men’s a’capella group Renegade and the University of Northern Colorado chapter of the Opera Theater Society.

Student Senate approved the funding proposal unanimously.

The funding proposal requested $3,500 to assist the groups in hosting a concert featuring the Boulder-based, all-vocal rock group Face. The concert will also benefit VH1’s Save the Music Foundation, which helps provide instruments to schools in Greeley.

The concert will be at 7 p.m.

May 1 in the University Center Ballrooms. The concert will feature Renegade as an opening act and two 40-minute sets performed by Face. Tickets will be free, but the groups will suggest a $3 donation at the door to support VH1’s program.

The second club-funding request was made by the Chinese Cultural Club and the Japanese Culture and Anime Club. The clubs requested $1,681 to host a Lunar New Year celebration at 3:30 p.m. Feb. 7 in the University Center Ballrooms.

The funds were allocated to the organizations to support the celebration.

Director of University Relations Ryan Shucard presented an update about the initiatives the university has taken, is currently taking and plans to take in the future to improve the relationship between Senate and the student body.

Shucard said the goals of University Relations are to create an online engagement component for every student, to create an alumni mentor program and to generate a greater awareness of Student Senate on campus, among other things.

He said University Relations began to increase the visibility of Senate last year with a “rebranding” campaign, which included the new slogan “Your campus.

Your voice.”

Students can voice their concerns to Student Senate by e-mailing student.voice@unco.edu.

”If we can provide the avenues, students are more likely to come to us again with more pressing issues,” Shucard said.

This year, University Relations is working on recruiting members for the Alumni Mentor Program, implementing a UNC townhall meeting website and advertising the Bear Bus system and setting up avenues for inquiry.

The goal of AMP is to establish connections between alumni and current students.

The program will give alumni the opportunity to give back by donating their time and expertise. The program also intends to help current students establish networks and adjust to life after college.

Shucard said he set up a website, www.unctownhall.wordpress.com, that serves as an online forum where students and Senate members can interact. The website provides ongoing discussions of issues and provides official Senate information.

“What’s great about it is that Student Senate members can post on the website and students can read the posts and comment on them,”

Shucard said.

Bear Bus is another issue University Relations is currently addressing. Shucard said he believes Bear Bus needs thorough communication between the university, the City of Greeley and the transit authority to increase bus usage.

University Relations is working on acquiring bus stop signs, bench advertisements, bus wraps, posters, magnets and time tables to raise awareness about Bear Bus and help make it run more smoothly.

Evan Welch, Student Senate adviser, said the university will start collecting student feedback on a major capital planning effort involving both sides of 11th Avenue.

Welch also said the Student Engagement Advisory Board has been restarted and will work with various majors and departments to find similar interests and provide more events and opportunities.

In his report, director Shucard said a student approached him Monday with concerns about a professor who was trying to burn an American flag during class.

The student was able to convince the sociology professor

to stop, and class ended. UNC President Kay Norton and Dean of Students Raul Cardenas have been informed.

Elections Council Commissioner Danielle Morgan said election packets are now available in the Office of Student Activities, and proposals for referenda are due next week.

Student Rights Advocate Samantha Fox said names are being chosen for candidates to fill the Student Judiciary vacancies.

Fox also said she is in the process of updating grievance forms.

Faculty Senate will meet Monday in the Council Room to discuss a resolution that will consider making e-mail through Bear Mail and BlackBoard an official form of communication between faculty and students. They will also discuss the academic appeals process.

Salynthia Collier, director of Student Affairs, said she finished collecting information from daycares about providing a discounted service for children of UNC students. She said she is working with orientation coordinators to send daycare information to incoming, nontraditional students.

Legacy of first Hispanic professor lives on in education hall

In 1974, a year after its completion, Classroom Building No. 2 was renamed Candelaria Hall, yet few people know the story of the man who became its namesake.

Candelaria Hall is named in honor of Martin Candelaria, the first Hispanic and native Spanishspeaking professor at UNC. He played a major role in developing the university’s language program.

Candelaria, orphaned at age 8, attended Menaul Boarding School in New Mexico where he learned and practiced English. After serving in World War I, he graduated from Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1922, after which he began teaching and coaching basketball and football at Menaul.

He received his master’s degree from the University of Denver in 1935 and joined the faculty of the Colorado State College of Education, which was later renamed the University of Northern Colorado, in 1948 when he was working on his doctoral dissertation at DU. He received a doctorate in education from DU in

1950.

During his 15 years at UNC, Candelaria taught Spanish and history, but his advances in teaching foreign languages are what he is most remembered for.

With help from the carpentry shop and audio-visual department, Candelaria created what became UNC’s language laboratory. The first laboratory consisted of eight booths and three tape recorders, which often malfunctioned the first few years.

With the laboratory, students were able to apply language skills in different settings and were able to learn through interactivity and practice. Candelaria developed plans for an official language laboratory, which were finally approved after he had retired.

Jessi Jones, a junior German major, has used the current language laboratory in Candelaria Hall for German courses.

“It’s definitely easier to learn a language when you interact with it and listen,” Jones said. “They’re mostly beneficial if you don’t have a computer to do lab work at home or you’re on campus all day.”

In addition to introducing the

language laboratory, Candelaria also emphasized learning about different cultures.

Roger Candelaria, Martin Candelaria’s son, said his father was an advocate for learning other languages.

“He was a pioneer in language,” Roger Candelaria said. “He believed people had to communicate across cultural frontiers.”

Candelaria not only changed the way UNC students learn languages but also introduced foreign languages to elementary schools years before the federal government funded the effort. He also published Spanish textbooks titled “Mi Espanol” for kindergarten through sixth grade students.

After retiring from UNC in 1963, Candelaria worked as a bilingualbicultural education consultant and served as a peer counselor with his wife, Fay. Candelaria was also known for helping financially challenged students by housing and feeding them at his own expense. Roger said some of the students his father helped became lifelong family friends.

Roger said his father is most

It’s important to the members of Embrace Northern Colorado to keep the communities from merging into one large area, cities indistinct from each other.

“The cities are growing, but they each have their own distinct characters,” said Susan Magnuson, a member of the board of directors for Embrace Northern Colorado.

“Each one has their own histories and individual personalities, and it’s important that those qualities are not lost.”

Teresa Tellechea, a professor of

medical anthropology at UNC, is also a member of the board of directors for Embrace Northern Colorado. Tellecha said she thinks it is necessary for students to think about the issues that the organization addresses.

“Focusing on the future is always important, and it’s pertinent students do so,” Tellecha said.

“In 30 or 40 years, they will want a solid, sustainable community.

That’s something we have to start working for now.”

need to think about the future of our communities as well as today.”

Daggett said it is important to think of the future in an area that is rapidly monopolizing. An example he gave of why this is important is the train tracks that were built in Denver.

“They paved over them because they were just looking at the present,” Daggett said.

“And now, 40 years down the road, they want to put in a light rail system but will have to tear up roads and houses because they didn’t think 40 years in

commonly known for his revolutions in language education, but he said he knew him personally as a commendable man.

“I would have to say that his greatest accomplishment was living an exemplary life,” Roger said.

“He tried to be exemplary as a father, faculty member and husband, and, going back to his earlier years, an exemplary soldier.

Whatever his duty, he tried to do it to the best of his ability.”

Candelaria died on May 8, 1996, at his home in Greeley, but his legacy lives on in Candelaria Hall.

“He came from nothing, materially,” Roger said. “He fought the good fight all of his 100 years until

the end. He never quit.”

A mural depicting Candelaria’s life was completed in a staircase of the building by Chicano muralist Leo Tanguma and UNC art students. It was dedicated in August 2000.

Jay Trask, the head of Archival Services at Michener Library, said he thinks it is important for students to know the history of the campus and the people that made it what it is today.

“It really helps connect students to the campus,” Trask said.

“The connection is in understanding how the university was shaped and the long journey it took to get where we are.”

The game became more physical in the second half, but the Bears maintained their lead, despite their 26 turnovers.

“They came out harder the second half and pressured the ball a lot more than the first half,” Oosdyke said. “That team is really scrappy, probably the scrappiest team that we have played in conference. It’s not an excuse; it just teaches us how to take care of the ball in those types of situations.”

UNC never trailed and led by as many as 23 points in the second half.

“Because of winning, we’ve got a lot of confidence, and I think the kids are really excited to play,” UNC head coach Jaime White said. “We’ve talked a lot about game plan and they understand what we have to do to win.”

UNC consistently got into the paint, giving freshman forward Kim Lockridge and Oosdyke easy opportunities to increase the lead. Lockridge finished with 10 points.

The UNC men’s basketball team will once again put its undefeated conference record on the line Saturday night

against Weber State.

Playing a team twice in a row, while repetitive, has its advantages. Having met last Saturday at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion, a game the University of Northern Colorado (11-7, 7-0) won, 6546, UNC is familiar with the

play of Weber State (9-9, 3-4).

However, UNC head coach B.J. Hill said he believes playing Weber State twice in a row is more of a frustration than an advantage.

“I’d rather have a game in between,” Hill said. “I don’t think it’s an advantage, but

we’ll get through it.”

UNC to face Cowboys SAMANTHA FOX sports@uncmirror.com

The UNC wrestling team has its sights set on taking down No. 4 Oklahoma State tonight in Stillwater, Okla.

The University of Northern Colorado’s senior Justin Gaethje and junior Casey Cruz are both on winning streaks of eight and 10, respectively.

Members of the UNC team said the pressure, however, will be on Oklahoma State.

“One of the big things that I talked to the guys about, going into this week, is just the fact that they can go into this match with no pressure,” head coach

“

It’s a rare opportunity for them to go wrestle with no pressure. I hope they take advantage of it.

— UNC head wrestling coach Ben Cherrington

Ben Cherrington said.

“Oklahoma State has all the pressure on them. They have everything to lose in the match.”

Oklahoma State is one dual win away from reaching 1,000 individual dual wins. The only other wrestling program to reach that benchmark is Iowa State, which reached 1,000 last February.

The Bears take on a Cowboys team that boasts wrestlers nationally ranked 16th or higher in nine of 10 weight classes. In the 149-pound weight class, Gaethje (11-1), who is nationally ranked No. 10, will compete against No. 9 junior Jamal Parks (17-2). Last year, when UNC and OSU met up, Gaethje was in the 157-pound weight class, and Parks was in the 141-pound class.

“I think I have the advantage,” Gaethje said. “I would hope I’m bigger and stronger, coming down from a weight, and he’s going up from a weight.”

Cruz will be wrestling No. 1 sophomore Jordan Oliver, who has a 15-0 record. Last year,

Oliver defeated Cruz, 12-5, on a technical fall, though Cruz was suffering from an injury.

“I wrestled him last year, and I had a high-ankle sprain, so that kind of made it difficult to wrestle,” Cruz said. “I have no pressure; he’s the one with all the pressure, so I’m pumped up.”

UNC freshman Nick Bayer (16-5) will match up against undefeated senior Clayton Foster, who is ranked No. 3 in the 197-pound weight class.

“We have nothing to lose and everything to gain,” Cherrington said. “It’s a rare opportunity for them to go wrestle with no pressure. I hope they take advantage of it.”

areas of excellence: community, classroom, character and competition,” according to the award’s website.

“It feels great to get recognized for something like that,” Beitzel said. “It shows that it doesn’t really matter your conference, as long as you put in the effort and hard work, you can really do something.”

Sophomore guard Elliott Lloyd picked up the scoring load last time against the Wildcats by scoring 16 points.

Hill also said he likes the maturity the team has shown in recent games.

“The experience has been key,” Hill said. “Unselfishness,

which has really grown throughout the year, has gotten a lot better. Our assist count has gone up almost three a game from the beginning of the year, and that tells me guys are being unselfish and playing together.”

With 10 games left including the match-up at Weber State, Beitzel makes no mistake about the team’s goals for the rest of the season.

“Conference championship and NCAA Tournament,” he said.

The Bears and Wildcats will tip off at 7 p.m. Saturday in Ogden, Utah. The game will be televised on Altitude Sports and Entertainment network channel.
