Receiving recognition for enacting culture JORDANE HARTBAUER news@uncmirror.com
Solomon Little Owl, the director of the Native American Student Services at the Kohl House, was recently given an award for his work with NASS and how has shown the Greeley community the importance of Native American Heritage Month. “It is a true honor to be the first of all of the universities in Colorado to receive this recognition from the U.S. Senate for the Native American Student Services for our emphasis on Native American Heritage month,” Little Owl said about the Senate resolution. The university’s NASS pro-
gram was awarded through Senate Resolution 689. According to govtrack.us, “Senate resolution 689 is a resolution that recognizes National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month and celebrating the heritage and culture of American Indians and Alaska Natives and the contributions of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the United States.” This resolution was sponsored by Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and was passed by th Senate on Nov. 19, 2010. The University of Northern Colorado was the first university in Colorado to enact this resolution. Colorado’s Sen. Mark Udall’s northeastern
representative, Pam Shaddock, awarded the recognition of the resolution. The NASS program offers many services for Native American students. There are currently about 140 Native American students attending UNC. The cultural center aims to establish a strong Native American presence on campus. Senior journalism and phi-
losophy major Michael Threadgill is the WRC representative with NASS. “Solomon has helped promote NASS through his work ethic and the different ways he has helped to recruit Native American students to come to UNC,” Threadgill said. “One of his big things is to recruit more Native American students to the school and to get more stu-

dents involved in Native American culture. The events that I have attended show how NASS is enforcing diversity.” The resolution was awarded to UNC for NASS’s work in emphasizing National Native American Heritage Month, which is in November. During this month, the contributions of Native Americans are recognized. NASS recognizes Native American Heritage Month by holding different events for students. These events include NASS’s annual buffalo hunt and feast, and the annual “Thanksgiving is Every Day.” The organization also brings different presenters, dancers and educators to campus for presentations. Scottie Chen, a senior business major, is the web designer for NASS. Chen said events give students a better understanding of the different histories of Native American nations. He also said both students and alumni come to the Kohl house to help get students involved with the campus and ready for the future.

UNC can increase funds by cutting frivolous projects UNC Kay Norton wants help finding $5 million. She need look no further than her own projects. In Norton’s speech on Feb. 2, she discussed the financial state of UNC and the path toward fiscal sustainability. Norton said the University of Northern Colorado has to “identify at least $5 million in permanent cost savings to be implemented over the next three years.” She also announced the hiring freeze of all non-faculty personnel with salaries of more than $25,000 a year.

ideas for the utilization of Bishop-Lehr Hall and surrounding site and the development of the University Center. Why spend money that the university doesn’t have on things like Bishop-Lehr, which has sat empty for years and obviously isn’t a crucial part of the university, and the UC, a building that is already an adequate space for offices, events and students? Why would the university take away from employees and the students and hire development and construction agencies to tinker with situations non-essential to
running the institution? Granted, Bishop-Lehr and the area it sits on will eventually have to be evaluated and revamped. However, when employees are performing extra tasks for no extra pay to make up for the loss in personnel the hiring freeze warrants and students are taking out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to be able to afford school, spending money to put extra plants around the UC seems frivolous. The $5 million dollars can be found from within UNC, with the halting of directing funds toward unnecessary projects.

Student Senate’s “The Maze” decision shows double standard Josh DIVINE editor@uncmirror.com
L
ast week, Student
Front Desk Senate refused a 970-392-9270 request from Campus General Manager Crusade for Christ (Cru) to 970-392-9286 fund tonight’s “The Maze,” an Newsroom illusion show that encourages 970-392-9341
Mission Statement
increasing at a much higher rate than ever before. Costs are expected to rise an estimated average of 15 percent by 2016. With all this prominent lack of funding within the university recently, a reasonable person would think that all unnecessary spending would be the first step taken in the quest of finding this $5 million. However, that doesn’t seem to be in Norton’s plans. The day before her speech, the Office of the President sponsored a focus-group-type event with studioINSITE, a Denverbased planning group, seeking
people to question reality. This marks the third major Cru event in the past year that Student Senate has refused to fund, despite clear evidence that the events Cru puts on draw large audiences from all aspects of campus life. Testimony from students about these events has also shown that the events are very thought-provoking. Last spring, Student Senate denied funding for Frank Turek’s
presentation, “I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist,” because it was faith-based. Despite this, a large number of students attended, including students of various world views. Senate also denied funding for AFTERdark last semester because members said the event was “poorly planned.” The event garnered more than 1,000 students. Senate is doing nothing less than discriminating against Cru students based on Cru students’ beliefs and the personal viewpoints held by the speakers of the events they plan. The projected attendance for “The Maze” is 800 students, yet Senate has denied funding. “The Maze” is academic, philosophical and geared toward the entire student population — What more could Senate want? Cru isn’t even charging admittance to the
event — despite the high cost of bringing the event to UNC — because they don’t want to preclude any student from seeing it. Some members claim The Maze was poorly planned, but that’s the same justification they used to refuse funding AFTERdark, and an event doesn’t bring in 1,000 students when it’s poorly planned. Some members cited the University Board Policy Manual, which states, “mandatory student fees shall not be used to fund ideological, political, or religious activities,” yet Senate continues to fund events like Leslea Newman’s presentation of “Heather’s Mommies Get Married,” an event that is clearly ideological and isn’t even remotely academic. They also fund the GLBTA Resource Office’s events, which are also ideological. Even after some cabinet mem-
bers brought up the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling that funding cannot be denied on account of an event being religious, they still denied funding for “The Maze.” Senate’s actions with these past three events have shown clear bias against Christianity. They even went so far as to claim that “The Maze” was organized by adult Cru staff members who are not affiliated with the university, but this is false at best. The three aforementioned events were organized by UNC students. It is a shame that Senate continually refuses to fund events that are open to all students, academic in nature and have been shown to have a lasting effect on students who attend them. — Josh Divine is a junior mathematics major and a weekly columnist for The Mirror.

Tenants, landlords negotiate damage costs ERIC HEINZ news@uncmirror.com
Before leasing a property, landlords and superintendents typically expect down payments as collateral to repair damages caused by tenants. Depending on the house or apartment, payments can be more than $600, so the owners of the property will not have to pay out of pocket for blighted parts of the property. What students can learn about getting their deposits back and how to maintain repairs could save them hundreds of dollars. “We actually really love giving deposits back,” said Steve Reed, owner of Property Technica Inc. “It’s like we did our job and they did theirs — everybody’s happy. On a security deposit, we can charge for late charges, carpetshampooing charges. And this is something students should know about. Damages have to be documented.” According to a legal sheet provided by UNC Legal Services,
under Colorado’s premises liability statute, Colorado Revised Statutes 13-21-115, landlords, property managers and tenants may be subject to liability for damages and injuries to visitors caused by dangerous conditions students knew or should have known of. “If the landlord promises to repair the problem or be responsible for repairs, generally, it would be wise to get that promise in writing,” according to the document. “An inspection also provides both parties with a third person who might be valuable in the event of a security deposit dispute.” One of the most common problems in student housing is damaged dry wall. Houses that are affordable to students typically use materials that are brittle and easily damaged; however, they can be fixed without expensive maintenance, such as spackling. But if repairs aren’t made, the fees incurred can be overwhelming.

Andrea Taylor, the leasing and marketing manager for Arlington Apartments, said the staff and faculty try to be very student-friendly when it comes to applying for an apartment. She said since 2004, Arlington Park Student Apartments has not charged a security deposit but instead a one-time service fee of $100. “We charge this one-time fee the first time students apply,” Taylor said. “No other type of fees are charged. We just try to make it easy for the students — it’s less money for them to come up with up-front.” FILE PHOTO | THE MIRROR

Students seek help with relationships for holiday CARMEN BRADY news@uncmirror.com
Around this time of year, when Valentine’s Day is the holiday on everyone’s mind and relationships are idealized in the media and shop fronts as being positive, where couples give each other flowers and chocolates and seem not to have any problems. Although this sometimes may be the case, it is important students work to maintain healthy relationships and are not with someone who is abusive mentally or physically. Deana Davies, coordinator of the Assault Survivors Advocacy Program, said there are a lot of ways a couple can keep a relationship healthy. “Couples (in a healthy relationship) can communicate openly and respect each other’s opinions, even when they are different, and always feel safe with each other and trust each other,” Davies said. Kim Wilcox, director of the UNC Counseling Center, said one way to tell if a relationship is healthy is if there is communication not only between partners but with the partner’s friends and family. “Make sure you have close friends and family who like the other person and are happy about your relationship,” Wilcox said. Davies said a key factor in maintaining a healthy relationship is communication with one another because people cannot read the mind or emotions of their partner. Brittany Bohl, a graduate assistant with ASAP, said she agrees and added that time away from one another is also important. “Take timeouts when you get mad with each other, then
come back later and talk about it,” Bohl said. “You also need to make sure to have some space, and give each other some sort of alone time. Davies also detailed several signs that a relationship may be going awry. These include a partner who is extremely jealous, who frequently criticizes their partner’s friends or family, someone who does not allow his or her partner to be with his or her family or friends, who is abusive by calling names, cursing or making their partner feel bad, goes back
on promises, acts controlling or possessive and does not listen to the important issues their partner tries to relate. “Being in a relationship can be rewarding, but you have to make sure you and your partner are on the same page,” Bohl said. “If it’s hurting either of you, it isn’t healthy.” The ASAP website lists two “quizzes” that can be used to determine if a relationship is healthy. The yes-no-answer quizzes ask questions about intimacy, feelings, respect and
admiration. With these methods, students can determine whether or not it is likely that he or she is in a relationship that will become abusive. The website also lists the basic rights in a relationship, which include the right to emotional support, the right to live free from criticism and judgment and the right to be respectfully asked, rather than ordered, among others. The program’s website also contains information on boundaries, which are important in determining the health of a relationship. A list of unhealthy boundaries are included, which contain touching without asking, letting others define you and acting on first sexual impulse. The website on healthy rela-
tionships can be found at www.unco.edu/asap/intimate_partner_violence/healthy _relationships.html. If you are being abused in a relationship or know someone who is, help can be sought via the ASAP Hotline number at 970351-4040, or the Counseling Center at 970-351-2496.

Bears lose to Montana, drop from first STAFF REPORT sports@uncmirror.com
The UNC women’s basketball team lost to Montana, 53-51, to push them out of the top spot and into second place in the Big Sky Conference Saturday at ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion. Because Montana State (15-10, 9-2) defeated Sacramento State Saturday, the University of Northern Colorado (14-11, 9-3) now trails MSU by half a game in the standings. UNC showed a lot of heart in the second half against Montana (13-11, 8-3), however, as it utilized a 14-0 run to draw within one point at 45-44 with 8:38 remaining. With 3:05 left to play, UNC freshman guard D’shara Strange hit two free throws to give the Bears their first lead since early in the first half. Montana went to the line eight times in the last 2:52 of the game and made two free throws in the
final 26 seconds to secure the win. Strange led UNC with 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting. Strange also had four rebounds, two assists and two steals in the loss. UNC senior guard Courtney Stoermer, starting for a schoolrecord 114th time in her career, had eight points and a gamehigh 10 rebounds to go with four assists and two steals. Stoermer broke the career starts record of 113 previously held by Danielle Hagen (200308) and recorded her 400th career assist and 200th career steal in the game. Montana was led by senior forward Sarah Ena and sophomore guard Kenzie De Bour who both had 15 points. Only four other players scored in the game for Montana, but holding UNC to 35 percent shooting, including 2-for16 on 3-pointers, helped the Lady Griz secure the win. The free throw differential was
also a key factor in Montana’s victory, as the Lady Griz attempted 25 free throws to UNC’s nine. Montana took an early lead in the game, but a Stoermer 3-pointer gave the Bears a 5-3 advantage. The Lady Griz got a jump shot from Ena to tie it up on the next possession and quickly took the lead after that. UNC trailed by as many as 13 points in the first half and went into the locker room trailing, 36-26. Coming out of the break, Montana went on a 7-2 run to stretch the lead to 15. With 15:08 left and still trailing by 15, Strange stole the ball and scored a fast break layup on two consecutive possessions to start the Bears’ 14-0 run. The Bears have now lost two of their last three games coming off a seven-game winning streak. They now have a week off before facing Sacramento State (3-21, 011) at 3:05 p.m. Saturday in Sacramento, Calif.

UNC finally got on the board with a put-back by senior forward Taylor Montgomery with 15:17 remaining in the first half. Montgomery’s shot did not spark any momentum, however. If anything, it lit a fire under Montana, as the Grizzlies went on an 11-2 run to open up a 214 lead with 11:22 left. The Grizzlies continued to build their lead to as many as 18 points in the first half. UNC was led by senior guard
Devon Beitzel with seven points at halftime. The team as a whole struggled from the field, limited to 8-for-33 shooting, including 2-for-11 on 3-pointers, in the first stanza. Montana junior forward Derek Selvig led the Grizzlies with 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting, including 3-for-4 on 3pointers, in the first half.

The UNC wrestling team came into Friday having lost four consecutive duals but was able to finish the day with a 1-1 mark as it defeated California S t a t e Wrestling Bakersfield and lost to Western Wrestling Conference foe Northern Iowa at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion. The University of Northern Colorado got a 21-19 victory before falling to Northern Iowa, 32-6. UNC junior Casey Cruz recorded a 9-1 major decision over Cal-State Bakersfield freshman Jose Mendoza in the 133-pound dual, and UNC freshman Sam Bauer tallied a 5-3 decision over Roadrunners sophomore Tyler Iwamura in the 125pound division. UNC junior Tanner Weiks won,
5-1, over sophomore Andrew Balch in the 157-pound match up, and junior Brandon Kammerzell got the victory over CSU-B senior Trevor Hall at 165 pounds. Bears senior Justin Gaethje recorded a 23-7 victory over freshman Dalton Kelley to round out UNC’s scoring. The Bears lost the other five weight classes, including a forfeit in the 141-pound division. UNC took the mat against Northern Iowa and was held to two wins in the lopsided loss. Cruz picked up his 20th win of the year, and remained undefeated in the WWC at 5-0 with a 4-2 decision over Panthers junior Ryan Jauch. The other victory came from freshman Nick Bayer, who defeated Andy O’Loughlin with an 8-3 decision in the 197-pound weight class. The eight remaining weight classes were won by Northern Iowa, including the 141-pound dual because UNC had to forfeit.
Gaethje lost a 3-2 decision to UNI senior Brett Robbins, and Kammerzell lost a 6-2 decision to senior Trevor Kittleson. Weiks lost a 6-3 decision to UNI sophomore David Bonin, who is ranked No. 19 in the country in the 157-pound weight class by InterMat.com, and UNC senior Eric Brennan lost an 11-1 major decision to Ryan Loder, who is ranked No. 7 in the 184-pound weight class.

35-22 halftime lead. Montana built its lead to 19 with 16:49 left in the second half, and the Bears never recovered. UNC got within 12 points but would not get any closer. Several Bears struggled to find any offensive rhythm the entire game. Sophomore guard Elliott Lloyd and senior forwards Neal Kingman and Chris Kaba, all starters, went a combined 0-for-18. In addition to Beitzel, who went 8-for-17 for 22 points, the only other starter to make a field goal was Montgomery, who went 1-for-6.

thrown out because the teams split the season series. Next would be records against common-conference opponents in descending order of finish. As it stands, UNC and Montana have identical records against the teams currently sitting in third-fifth place. Eastern Washington, which the Bears have defeated twice, sits in sixth place right now. Montana has only played EWU once this season and won. The Eagles host Montana in Montana’s last game of the season. If neither of those two tiebreakers applies, the third, whichever team has a higher RPI come the end of the season,
will be the No. 1 seed for the conference tournament. In the latest NCAA RPI report, UNC is 147th and Montana is 106th. The Bears will take a two-game break from conference games as they travel to face New Mexico State as a part of the ESPN BracketBusters series on Saturday in Las Cruces, N.M.

Board of Trustees approve new graduate program Basketball coach tenured, campus-wide enrollment up from last year KATIE OWSTON news@uncmirror.com
The UNC Board of Trustees met Friday to discuss enrollment numbers, new programs and a resolution regarding Colorado high school students and in-state tuition. Two new graduate programs — sports coaching and higher education student affairs leadership — are pending state approval. A master’s degree in sports coaching is a 30-hour online program, and there is
expected to be a large increase in entry-level positions available in the career field over the next decade. The Higher Education Student Affairs Leadership Program is currently offered as a concentration under the master’s in educational leadership program, focusing mainly on kindergarten through 12thgrade leadership. Earnest Collins, the new University of Northern Colorado head football coach, has signed a four-year contract
with the Bears. The multi-year contract is consistent for coaches of volleyball and basketball. A revision was made to a resolution supporting in-state tuition for all students of Colorado high schools. The revision states anyone who cannot prove his or her citizenship would be unable to access instate tuition. As a result, the Trustees chose to support Senate Bill 11-126, which, if possible, would grant instate tuition to all Colorado high school students, regardless of
their immigration status. Also during the meeting, the Trustees were updated on campus enrollment, using numbers for 2010 to show an increase in this year’s enrollment and credit hours in undergraduate and graduate schools. In fall 2010, student enrollment was up to 13,030 — 2.5 percent more than in 2009. Off-campus enrollment increased by 18 percent to 1,754 students. Oncampus enrollment is up by 1.1 percent, according to the census report following the class
add/drop deadline. As of Feb. 7, the total undergraduate headcount is up 3.8 percent. Along with updates on student enrollment, overall interest from potential students was discussed as well. By reaching out to students in a variety of new ways, the number of student tours, applications submitted and confirmed and inquiries increased significantly over the past year. The next Board of Trustees meeting is scheduled for March, 11, 2011.
