Local students to compete for science honor CONOR MCCABE news@uncmirror.com Middle and high school students will have the chance to show what they know about science and math when UNC hosts the 42nd Annual Longs Peak Science and Engineering Fair Wednesday. The fair gives fifththrough-12th grade students of Weld and Larimer Counties to present their research in animal sciences, behavioral and social sciences, chemistry, earth and space sciences, energy and transportation, engineering, mathematics and computer sciences,
medicine and health, microbiology, physics and plant sciences. This year, 310 students will present 294 projects in the University Center Ballrooms and Fireside Lounge at the University of Northern Colorado. Projects can be completed by an individual or team, which consists of two or three students. “Students will have three to five minutes to give their presentation,” said Lori Ball, director of the Longs Peak Science & Engineering Fair. “They will then be interviewed by judges.” There are 135 volunteers for this year’s fair
who will work as judges, safety inspectors and registration help. “Judges consist of UNC undergrad and graduate students, faculty, staff and alumni,” Ball said. “Also, faculty, staff and students from other universities as well as industry professionals.” Students in grades five through eight can register as junior participants and students in grades nine to 12 can register as senior participants. Students presenting are eligible to win awards for their projects. The LPSEF will be giving out overall awards and categorical awards. “Students’ awards range
from certificates, cash awards, gift cards and merchandise in addition to awarding the top three to five placements in each category (11 junior division/11 senior division) and the best of the fair awards,” Ball said. The LPSEF awards more than 50 special awards, such as UNC’s Pre-Health Professionals Club, United States Air Force, UNC Natural and Health Sciences Pioneers in Science, West Greeley, Conservation District and the Mathematics and Science Teaching Institute Display Art/Design Award. The fair will also acknowledge teachers
with four separate recognition awards and hold random drawings for both teachers and students for additional prizes. The prizes will consist of restaurant gift cards, bowling gift certificates, UNC hats and T-shirts and movie tickets, Ball said. The LPSEF is a regional fair associated with the International Science and Engineering Fair. This fair will nominate 20 projects for the 2012 Colorado Science and Engineering Fair and at least one project for the international fair. The Colorado Fair will be hosted April 5-7 at Colorado State University
in the Lory Student Center Ballrooms and the national fair will be hosted May 13-18 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh.

Crying foul over NBA player’s ice cream flavor misses mark When overt political correctness reaches the ice cream industry, you know there’s a problem. Last Saturday, Ben & Jerry’s issued an apology for their new Jeremy Lin-inspired flavor, which contained vanilla ice cream mixed with honey swirls and fortune cookie pieces. “On behalf of Ben & Jerry’s Boston Scoop Shops we offer a heartfelt apology if anyone was offended by our handmade Linsanity flavor that we offered at our Harvard Square location,” the company said on Twitter. The cookies will be replaced with waf-
fle cone pieces. Lin, a New York Knicks player who’s received prominent media attention of late due to his seemingly out-of-nowhere high-scoring play, is the first TaiwaneseAmerican in the NBA. Apparently, putting fortune cookies in a treat paying tribute to someone of Asian descent is an abomination and racist. Never mind that the offending company historically is liberally inclined and known for its PC tendencies. Following this line of thinking, we should stop consuming kaiser rolls, as that could offend Germans.
This isn’t the first time Lin’s race has contributed to politically correct controversy. On Feb. 18, ESPN came under fire when it used a picture of Lin and the headline, “Chink in the Armor: Jeremy Lin’s 9 Turnovers Cost Knicks in Streak-stopping Loss to Hornets.” The ESPN editor was fired and profusely apologized the next day, to which Lin responded by accepting his apology and saying he didn’t believe it was intentional. Though the phrase is a common sports term and its usage was undoubtedly accidental,
something like this could be considered racist. Hard to say the same for ice cream ingredients — there’s a difference between being racist and failing to recognize any cultural differences. What seems most at issue, though, is how everyone other than Lin seems to be easily offended. Why can’t he devise his own ice cream concoction? Honestly though, if Lin were asked to create his own flavor, he’d probably choose something more exciting than bland vanilla scoops, honey and flavorless cookies.

Inevitable approach to switching to renewable energy requires balance Josh DIVINE
editor@uncmirror.com
O
n the surface, it appears President Barack Obama is the bane of affordable fuel in America. After all, national gas averages were around $1.80 a gallon when he took office, and they’ve doubled since then. Of course, gas prices had plummeted in the last few months of the Bush administration from prices higher than now. But while gas price increases cannot be entirely attributed to Obama, he does have something to do with them. His post-BP Oil Spill actions have effectively shut down most Gulf offshore drilling, and EPA regulations largely pre-
vent the tapping of enormous reserves of oil in Alaska. The energy debate ranges between pushing for large alternative energy strides immediately or allowing them to progress slowly as we tap domestic oil reserves. The debate has been characterized as one of special interests, but it really encompasses the majority of people and should be addressed as such. While soaring gas prices may be negligible for the top one percent, they do have an effect on the common person. Regardless of whether you believe global warming predictions are spot-on or exaggerated, the evidence is clear that fossil fuels are pollutive and non-renewable. The only question is when and how we should make the change to alternative energy. This question was brought into the limelight recently with Obama’s
rejection of Keystone XL and the increasing unrest in the Middle East. Republicans have been frustrated by blocks on domestic drilling and Democrats are annoyed with prospects of more oil being used as fuel. But the whole debate breaks down to one simple rule: humans respond to incentive. Businesses and individuals make decisions that are beneficial to them. Increasing oil prices leads to an increased demand for alternative energy transportation, and businesses respond in kind by working to accelerate such technologies. Though it’s clear unduly burdensome gas prices would lead toward a demand for rapid advancements in alternative energy, the question is whether we want to control our demand by increasing our oil independence or allow our prices to fluctuate according to
other countries’ political situations. More importantly, we must ask whether we are willing to allow prices to soar in order to lead to alternative energy innovation when we’re struggling with the consequences of the 2008-09 recession and unemployment rates above eight percent that a $700 billion bailout was unable to fix. Switching to alternative energy is inevitable and necessary, but how we make the switch and how many people we harm along the way is integral to the debate. It’s never been about big oil or environmental alarmists. It’s about our responsibility to both our landscape and ourselves, and politicians would do well to keep a comprehensive analysis in mind when dictating policy. — Josh Divine is a senior mathematics major and a weekly columnist for The Mirror.

Future journalists gain in-field experience Students apply lessons outside of classroom to create Bear News ALEXANDER ARMANI-MUNN news@uncmirror.com For six years, students at Bear News have kept a finger on the pulse of the University of Northern Colorado campus. The student-run news program airs every other Thursday on Comcast Channel 98. The program mainly reports within the UNC campus; however, coverage does include local, state and national events that affect the campus community. Bear News was recently on the scene at Buckley
Air Force Base in Aurora to cover a speech by President Barack Obama. Bear News is open to students in any major; however, of the 22 students currently active in Bear News, most are journalism majors, many enrolled in JMC 444,” Cable Television Production.” In Cable Television Production, students apply the communication skills they have acquired in prerequisite courses to the production of an actual news broadcast. Many students choose to receive credit via
practicum from their time with Bear News. Professor Dale Edwards instructs JMC 444; however, studentproducer Ashley Koch, a senior journalism major, oversees the production of Bear News. Koch is responsible for approving stories pitched by field reporters and eventually compiling all the stories into a program. “I take all the stories and make them into a show,” Koch said. “I make sure each story has a connection to UNC and that each story is formatted in
broadcast style.” Members of Bear News meet every Tuesday and Thursday to pitch stories. Every student acts as a field reporter and is responsible for scouting and pitching possible stories. Student reporters search for stories that are far-reaching and interesting to a wide range of people. Many student reporters cover a beat, reporting regularly on a specific topic such as politics, Greeley happenings, UNC clubs, weather and performing and visual arts. Once a pitch has been approved, student reporters have a week or two to cover the story. Covering a story requires students to conduct interviews, compile and edit footage and write a broadcast-format script for the program. Scripts and video are submitted to Koch the

Film, art raise awareness Students use talents to create Eating Disorders from Page 2 level of the University Center. The fair gives campus organizations a chance to educate students about healthy living as well as provide them with information about the different services they offer. “Fitness U” will give students a chance to get involved in an interactive theater production and see a screening of the documentary “Someday Melissa.” “Someday Melissa” is a documentary inspired by the journal writing of a young woman who eventually lost her life from an eating disorder after a five-year battle. “Fitness U” will be hosted from 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. Tuesday in the UC Ballrooms. On Wednesday, representatives from the WRC and Counseling Center will present in a variety of classes about different issues surrounding eating disorders. The final event of the week, “Canvas and Chocolate,” will be hosted for the first time this year. During the event, students will be using paint to create what they think is beautiful and identify what makes them unique while they snack on chocolate desserts. Students interested in Canvas and Chocolate must RSVP to Sarah Witty at sarah.witty@unco.edu by today to be placed on the waiting list because the event is full at time of publication. Canvas and Chocolates will be from 7 – 9 p.m. Thursday in the UC Ballrooms. Anna Bird, a sophomore elementary education major,
knew about the event from emails she received . “I don’t think it’s an issue, though,” Bird said. “I noticed it more in high school than in college.” Brian Phelps, a senior communication studies and criminal justice major, said he does not think eating disorders are a prominent issue, but acknowledges that the issue does exist on campus. “It’s sad to think that
there are eating disorders,” Phelps said. “It’s all about the pressure on females to feel skinny and look ‘hot.’ Honestly, any woman who eats healthy and just enjoys life would be more beautiful than a woman that, for example, starves themselves to look a certain way.” For more information about Eating Disorder Awareness Week, visit www.unco.edu/wrc.

Star-studded class enters Athletic Hall of Fame PARKER COTTON sports@uncmirror.com
The usual emcee of the UNC Athletics Hall of Fame inductions, Tom Barbour, found himself in an unfamiliar position Friday: an inductee. Barbour started his speech in the University Center ballrooms by reminding the audience of 2011 inductee Vincent Jackson’s proposal to his girlfriend on stage last year and told the audience to not get their hopes up for anything monumental. “There won’t be any bombshells tonight, folks,” Barbour said. There were no proposals, but with such a star-studded class of inductees, no bombshells were needed. Barbour, the public address announcer at University of Northern Colorado football and men’s basketball games, was inducted along with former football player Vance Lechman (1986-89), Sharon Hofmann (1971-75), who was one of the first two-sport stars at UNC while playing softball and basketball, Mike Leberknight (1989-93), who remains the wrestler with the most wins in a career at UNC, Teale (Goble) Hemphill
(1999-02), who ranks in the top-10 in three volleyball statistical categories and the UNC softball teams from 1974-77 and 1979, all of which advanced to the Women’s College World Series and never finished lower than fifth. Lechman, a four-year starter at cornerback for the Bears who is still tied for the school record with 18 interceptions in a career, was the first inductee to take the stage. Lechman said he was surprised when a friend of his wanted to nominate him for induction and called it an honor to have been selected. Hofmann, who played softball for four years and basketball for two, said it was an honor to be inducted and gave many thanks to her dozens of softball teammates in attendance for helping her in her career. “You can’t have an individual honor when you play a team sport, and these gals were my backbone,” Hofmann said. “We had a heck of a lot of fun, and every day I appreciate those days.” During her time on the softball team, Hofmann helped lead the team to four consecutive Intermountain Conference titles and was a member of the All-College World Series team in 1973.
Leberknight, who finished his career with a 126-26-1 record, was a two-time NCAA Division II national champion at 177 pounds in 1992 and 1993. His single-season win totals of 33 (1992) and 36 (1993) still rank in the top-10 in school history. Leberknight said he got most of his motivation to win from a conversation two children had before a competition in a fictional book he once read. “One kid asks, ‘Do you think you’re going to win?’” Leberknight told the audience. “And the other kid said, ‘Well, I might as well. Somebody’s going to.’ Honestly, that was my whole drive through everything. If somebody’s going to win, it might as well be me.” He said he never really imagined that getting into a hall of fame was possible but said he was very grateful to be there. “It means a lot,” he said. “It’s the people you go in with and the people that are already in the Hall of Fame that signifies the real honor of being in the Hall of Fame.” Hemphill ranks second in school history in career kills (1,852), fourth in digs (1,626) and eighth in service aces (135), and as a senior in 2002 was the captain of the team that advanced to the NCAA
Division II Elite Eight. “This did come as a surprise, but it’s really the epitome of my college career here,” Hemphill said. “It really puts a cap on my time here. I had two tables (of guests) and I got both my head coaches to come back, which I was really flattered about, getting Ron (Alexander) and Linda (Delk) to come back. They have just supported me through my whole time here.” Added to the 1978 softball team that was inducted in 1998, UNC’s five other dominate teams from the 1970s were inducted, making softball the sport with the secondmost enshrined team behind baseball, which has 11. Gloria Rodriguez, who coached the 1974-77 teams that finished second, fourth, second and fifth, respectively, and Jane Martindell, the coach of the 1979 team, both spoke and praised the athletes they coached for their dedication to the game in an era before Title IX and a large number of female athletic scholarships. Barbour, the last individual inducted before the softball teams, played one season of football at UNC in 1969 and graduated in 1974. From 1977-83, he served as UNC’s sports information director, a position in which he won

Barbour also holds a position on the Hall of Fame selection committee, and he joked that the process was a little rigged, but he was appreciative to UNC administrator Bob Heiny for his nomination and the rest of the selection committee for their part in making him an inductee. “I’m fortunate I got to spend my whole life here,” Barbour said. “A lot of students come here and go to school then go back to their hometowns and do great work, but I’ve just stayed here. This place has meant so much in my life and in my family’s life, and it’s been an absolute blessing for us.” Barbour included in his
speech the advice his late father gave him right before he started at UNC. “My dad dropped me on the steps of Harrison Hall in the summer of 1969 and he said, ‘Listen, I want you to go to class, I want you to study, I want you to work hard, I want you to take advantage of the opportunities you find and have a little fun while you’re here,’” Barbour said. It’s evident that not only Barbour took that advice. The five softball teams and four other individuals did the same, to the tune of countless records, accomplishments and an effect on the UNC athletics program and beyond that can’t be measured in simple statistics.
Women’s hoops stays in hunt for bye with win at Weber STAFF REPORT sports@uncmirror.com
The UNC women’s basketball team broke a tied halftime score with the help of senior forward Kaisha Brown, who scored 17 of her careerhigh 26 points in the second
half to lead the team to a 6254 at Weber State Saturday in Ogden, Utah. Brown made 9-of-16 from the field and 4-of-9 3-point attempts, the last of which gave her 200 in her career, making her just the ninth player in Big Sky Conference history with 200 3-pointers in
a career. With the win, the University of Northern Colorado (17-10, 9-5 Big Sky) moved into a second-place tie with Eastern Washington. UNC trailed early to Weber State (2-26, 0-15), though. The Wildcats led 23-16 with 6:36 remaining in the
first half, but the Bears finished with a 13-6 run to secure a 29-29 tie at halftime. Weber State scored five straight points to open the second half, but UNC kept pace and slowly chipped away at the lead. A 3-pointer from Brown with just less than eight minutes to play got
the Bears within a point, and two free throws from senior guard Amy Marin gave UNC the lead for good just a minute later at 52-51. Sophomore forward Kim Lockridge scored 11 points and had five rebounds, but no other UNC player had more than D’shara Strange’s seven
points. Strange also had six rebounds, four assists and four steals. Junior forward Lauren Oosdyke had six points and 12 rebounds. The Bears wrap up their road schedule at 6:35 p.m. today against Northern Arizona (8-19, 3-11) in Flagstaff, Ariz.

Baseball suffers sweep at hands of North Dakota State BEN WARWICK sports@uncmirror.com On a day when the windy weather played tricks on fielders, North Dakota State’s Zach Wentz played tricks on the UNC baseball team Sunday at Jackson Field. Wentz (1-1) pitched six strong innings, giving up 10 hits and only allowing two runs while fanning three University of Northern Colorado batters in NDSU’s 18-2 victory. His performance on the mound helped cap a four-game sweep of the Bears (0-4) on opening weekend. UNC senior third baseman Tony Crudo, one of the team captains, said that through the disappointment of a series sweep, there
were some bright spots to open the year. “We had some good atbats,” Crudo said. “A lot of people fought with two strikes, a lot of people hit the ball hard but we just didn’t hit together.” The North Dakota State (5-2) offense helped their pitcher’s case all day, going up 5-1 after two innings. They scored in every inning but the third and batted around in the fourth inning. In that frame, they also managed to score eight runs on nine hits on their way to a 22-hit game. Center fielder Tim Colwell led the offensive barrage for the Bison, going 5-for-6 with one RBI and one run scored. His brother, first baseman Nick Colwell, went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and two runs scored. Left fielder
Nick Anderson added three hits on four at-bats with two RBIs and two runs and second baseman Wes Satzinger added a team-high four RBIs and three runs in his 2-for-4 performance at the dish. In what turned out to
be an emergency spot start in favor of the injured Casey Coy, the Bears called on junior pitcher Jake Johnson, and while he ended up taking the loss, head coach Carl Iwasaki said that he was pleased with Johnson’s effort.

“Jake Johnson wasn’t scheduled to be a starter this week, or possibly even next week,” Iwsasaki said. “But I’ll tell you what, Jake Johnson stepped up and did what he had to do.” UNC countered with a 3-

Bears head to Wash. St. next Baseball from Page 7
senior outfielder Adrian Schenk all added hits of their own to help the Bears put up 10 total hits. Schenk had UNC’s only extra-base hit, a stand-up triple in the first inning. Packard would bring him home in the next at-bat to get UNC within two runs, but it was all North Dakota State from then on. The Bears wouldn’t score again until the sixth inning, when Crudo was brought home by sophomore Colby Harrison, who was pinch-hitting for junior designated hitter Harrison Lambert. The Bears also fell to the Bison on Friday and Saturday, dropping an 114 contest Friday afternoon and losing both games of the Saturday doubleheader 11-2 and 18-4, respectively. North Dakota State managed to rack up 40 runs and 49 hits in those three games. According to Iwasaki, UNC was outscored by a “boatload.” While the actual run total is 58-12 in favor of the Bison, Iwasaki refuses to let the team hang its head. “This is baseball and it’s a marathon,” he said. “It’s OK to be disappointed. It’s not OK for them to put their heads down, and they didn’t do that. This club is not going to do that.” From here, the team will travel to Pullman, Wash., where it will take on Washington State for a three-game series starting Friday. Hilker, another of the
team captains, said because Washington State is a Pac-12 school, the upcoming series will be a challenge, but it’s one the team will tackle head-on. “This is just the beginning,” Hilker said. “This just shows that we need to work harder. We competed well this weekend, but we just need to work hard this upcoming week in practice and we should be all right.”
